About: If you need an overnight sitter, a walker, or just a play date for a couple hours, I’m your girl! I started pet sitting for a family I used to nanny for about 10 years ago and love caring for our families dogs. My husband and I got our own fur baby 3 years ago, a 100lb Chesapeake Bay Retriever, named Buoy. I make sure that every house I leave looks the same as it did when I enter, that includes making sure trash is taken out and dishes are out of the sink! I’ve dog sat pups from 8 weeks to 13 years and from the size of a teacup poodle to a 100 pound boxer, and I treat every one like my own. I also am very familiar with cats, my brother has 2, I love them just the same! I am currently working from home full time, so I have plenty of afternoon and evening flexibility as well as weekends! My times for during the week would be before 8am, between 12-2pm, and anytime after 5pm. I am currently in a 3 bedroom apartment, with my husband and our dog. We would be more than happy to allow any fur baby into our place. Our community is so pet friendly. Our dog has been living in an apartment since we got him and he has been leash trained, so I have plenty of experience with dogs on leashes including prong collars, gentle leaders, and any type of leash.

“Ryan is a wonderful person and excellent house/pet sitter. He is very honest and responsive. We have 3 dogs and a cat and they all love him. We highly recommend him.”


“Alisa took great care of our dog and the house. Great communication and photos too!”


About: Hello everyone! I just moved to the lower DE area after recently graduating from Penn State (May 2025) with a degree in animal science. I have 2 years of emergency VetMed experience and training and am able to assess emergency situations and give basic life saving measures. I have worked with puppies and kitties all the way to seniors. I am committed to keeping your pets healthy, safe , happy, and stress free! I am currently a stay at home cat mom with no commitment to outside jobs or projects at the moment so I am available almost all the time I have had two senior cats for 3+ years that I adopted and they tend to be a bit spoiled. They enjoy walks outside in their cat stroller and constant attention and play.

“Sara was amazing! We were in a pinch last minute and she came through. Our 2 pups loved her, she communicated well the whole time and we will be booking with her again!”


“Such a sweetheart, Ruby loved her!”


About: I’ve been a pet sitter and dog walker for over 15 years. I’ve always loved my furry friends and I have excellent referrals! Cats dogs birds.. I’m very good with all pets! I’m a high school in college referee very fit. I officiate games between 3 and 5 PM. That’s the only gap! I need to stay in shape and I’d rather stay in shape with my furry friends! I will be available to stay in the client’s home. Anywhere in the Lewes, Rehoboth, dewey, Milton Milford, Ocean City, Delaware area i’m available as soon as needed. I have a security clearance in the background check. I have two lovely dogs on my own. I prefer to stay at the clients home. I am very neat and tidy. My clients pets are my first priority

About: I love all pets. I have a mixed dog that just tunes one. I love to walk him and play and give him a great experience. I often walk family members pets as well. I do not work that often so I am very available. Week days are best for me because I normally work all day on the weekends. I can do anything that is asked. I can follow all directions and cage them if needed I can give food and water. I will keep them safe and happy.

About: I've grew up with cats in the household, always longing for a dog, and enjoying/petsitting my neighbors animals. When I was 24, I rescued a 2 year old Husky/Shepard mix from Brandywine SPCA named Star. Star was considered a "crisis-case", suffered from Lyme disease, but something in her eyes felt hopeful. Through love and healthy lifestyle, Star gave me the best 10 years I could have asked for. Since losing Star in the fall of 2024, I have been taking on more pet setting, ranging from boarding at my own home, overnight stays, and everything in between. My partner and I share a home with 2 of the sweetest boys, a docile english lab and a certified Therapy golden doodle. Also a 3 year old Cat and some chickens roam the yard. All friendly, happy, and healthy. I am very flexible in my schedule for most services needed and can board dogs at my residence and stay overnight. I teach yoga four times a week but that mostly a few hours each morning. I have great areas for walking, will happily take dogs for outdoor fun beaches/parks. If they are friendly with others, we have space for play at the home. If solo time is need, I'm happy to accommodate by coming to you! I'll always defer to the preference of the owner to ensure pets are happy and safe while Mom(s) and/or Dad(s) are away.

“Genevieve was great with my senior critters. My dog and cat were well taken care of in my home. I will definitely use her again!”


About: I have worked with Pick Your Paw rescue, work with boarding kennels, and have been dog sitting for years. I can do basic training, and do constant research on every thing dog related Going in to college, I am available for most days, but my schedule can change at a dime due to other work and extracurricular obligations. For now, any time after 12:30 is fine, but Fridays are typically the busiest. I’ll center everything around your pets to make sure they feel safe and comfortable, and have enough knowledge and experience to sense a dog’s body language. I know that this is their space and I will respect that, so I’ll give plenty of time until your pet warms up to me. I care so much about all animals and want to build a bond.

“Tricia is an exceptional dog sitter and person. She cared for my dog truly like her own - spent hours at the dog park, found creative ways to entertain him on rainy days, brushed him daily, even discovered that he eats better when you clip his ears back so they don’t get in his way. She kept my home so neat and tidy and left many fun treats, notes and pictures about the time they spent together. Tricia is warm, kind, thoughtful, respectful and reliable. If your dog is a little piece of your heart padding around outside of your body on four paws - like mine is for me - then reach out to Tricia. You will be so glad you did!”


“Adrianna was great with my two dogs that have very different needs. She kept the younger super playful guy entertained. She gave TLC and senior care to my elderly girl. We would definitely use her again. Thank you so much, Adrianna!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 3 years. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, play with, and cuddle their fur babies. I can guarantee to give your pet the company and love that they need when you’re away! I am currently a teacher full-time during the school year. During the school year (September-May) I am available on weekdays after 4:00 and weekends all day. In the Summer (June-August) I am available all day, every day! I do not care for pets in my home. However, I will be more than willing to come to your home for however long you need!
