About: Hello everyone! I am an animal lover, I grew up around animals all my life. Our furry friends are extended family members. I hope you entrust me with your furry loved ones. I am currently an active college student, but I have somewhat situated myself with a work-life balance. I am available and flexible for weekdays and weekends!

About: Hello! I’m Erin, a full-time high school teacher and pet-sitter on the side. I’m an animal lover and I have been pet sitting for 10+ years. I have a ton of experience caring for a variety of dog breeds and cats, as well as a few smaller animals (rabbits, hamsters, birds, and fish). I’m calm, caring, and patient, with a soft spot for senior animals. I’ve had a great deal of experience caring for my own senior pets (both dogs and cats). I’ve provided care for animals with diapers, medication, and mild mobility issues. I’m also experienced in caring for diabetic cats and administering insulin, as I’ve helped two of my rescues go into remission. I strive to provide the best care possible for pets, and peace of mind for their owners! Please be aware that starting August 25th, I will be at work from 7:35 am-3:05 pm. I’m currently a full time as a high school teacher, so from 7:35-3:05 on week days, I’m usually at work. If I am pet sitting during the week, I head straight to the pets at the end of the work day. On weekends, I am able to dedicate most, if not all, of the day to spending time with your pets. This is also the case over the summer. I provide pet care in client’s homes, per the directions provided by the clients. Prior to caring for your pet(s), I ask that we arrange a time for me to meet your pet(s) and go over all pertinent information regarding their care and safety.

About: My passion for animal care began at age 8 and spans over 13 years of hands-on experience from personal pets as well as from my career. Currently, I work as a veterinary assistant at a general practice clinic, where I assist with routine examinations, diagnostic procedures, and treatment protocols while providing compassionate care to animals and educating pet owners. I am currently enrolled in the Veterinary Technology Program at Delaware Technical Community College, pursuing comprehensive training in animal health, medical procedures, and veterinary science. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, and I maintain flexible availability to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m completely free on weekends and available most weekdays after 6pm. As a veterinary assistant, I understand the importance of consistent care and reliable scheduling. Whether your pet needs daily walks, overnight stays, or weekend adventures, I can adapt my schedule to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My veterinary background also means I’m comfortable with any special care requirements or medication schedules your pet may have I provide pet care exclusively in clients’ homes, keeping your pets comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their established routines. As a veterinary assistant, I’m trained to recognize health concerns and can handle everything from basic daily care to administering medications or special needs. I follow all specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and house rules while ensuring doors and gates stay secure. You’ll receive regular updates with photos about your pet’s activities. I treat your home with complete respect, leaving everything clean and secure. With 13+ years of pet care experience and professional veterinary training, I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Teresa did great checking on our pup for us! She sent pictures and videos and we knew our puppy was in good hands with her. She’s very caring and will always recommend.”

About: I have cared for cats for most of my life but 5 years ago my fiancé and I adopted my first dog. For the past 5 years, I’ve cared for my dog, Mary Jane, who has been my sweetest teacher in understanding dog behavior, routines, and communication. Through caring for her, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walking, feeding schedules, basic training reinforcement, administering simple medications, and creating a calm, consistent environment for a happy pup. I have also cared for many friends pets while they were away on vacation. I may be new to Rover, but I’m not new to being a responsible, attentive animal owner. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.

About: Since little, my life has been surrounded by dogs, and that passion has only grown. Pet sitting has been a massive part of our life in the military, and we love it. We enjoy giving others the satisfaction of knowing their dogs will be taken care of while not needing to spend a fortune. We all deserve a break. I am a SAHM and my husband works a typical M-F. I will have plenty of time to play with and take care of your furbaby. We also have a big back yard with plenty of room for zoomies and doodies. Our two dogs are incredibly chill, but our oldest thinks he's one of the kids so he likes to play and keep up. Our Maltese is all about being left alone except for the rare burst of energy to play. So your dog(s) won't be short on ways to burn energy or be loved on. Any pet that comes in our house is treated exactly like our pets are. Our dogs have been able to travel with us all over the world and we couldn't think of being anywhere without them.

About: I have had dogs since I was in preschool. I started my understanding of them and other animals when I turned nine. Since then, I always have had my and other people’s pets interest at heart. Today, my dogs are ages eight and eleven and I am their most trusted person in the house. I’ve trained them both despite being in school and I take care of their hygiene. This includes brushing their fur, washing them, and cleaning their teeth. When I am not taken care of their hygiene, I make sure they have a daily playtime or cuddle session so they have some love everyday. I have a part time job that requires me to work on Friday evenings and every third Saturday morning and afternoon. Other than that I am very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. If I am unable to work, I will communicate immediately to the best of my ability. I make sure hazards are out of range and site of the animal in care. I don’t rush the bond, and take it to the pet’s pace for trust. At home, my dogs at senior dogs that I have trained since they were puppies and we have a lot of trust in each other and a great bond. I can’t perform service at my own house since I have a toddler sibling who my dogs have gotten used to but I do not want to stress anyone’s pets out. We also have family members who have allergies.

About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of my dogs for the past 10 years. I have a beagle terrier (Bleu) and a king charles caviler (Milo). Milo is now 3 years old and Bleu is about 10 years old. I’m currently a college student majoring in Biology, so I have a hours an available to help my clients with potty breaks and dog walking. I have a fenced yard. I typically let my dogs out roughly 5 times per day when I am not home. When I am home I let my dogs out whenever it is needed.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my teen to adult years. I volunteered at a rescue taking care of mostly the cats. I’ve previously helped rescue kittens and dogs. I’ve always had animals around me. I’m a very big animal lover. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs and cat sit a kitten from time to time. I give the cats baths maybe once a month and the dogs weekly and I routinely walk the dogs. I watch the dogs while they’re outside while also giving them extra love. I love taking dogs on walks. I play with cats and even bring along toys that I know my cats love.

About: I had a dog for 12 years. We went on multiple long walks per day. He was active, but also loved to lounge around. I am the same way. If the dog is energetic, I will definitely being playing with them in the yard. If they like to chill out, they can relax on the couch. I am currently working from home. I have plenty of time to care for your pup. I enjoy dogs of all sizes and miss having one in my home. The dog will be well taken care of, and I am sure, will be a little spoiled while with me. They will get plenty of exercise and belly rubs - well balanced :) :) I currently work from home, so I will be with your dog all day! I will be able to talk your pup out for multiple walks throughout the day. I live in a community where I can take your dog on long walks in a quiet neighborhood. My house has plenty of room for your pup to roam around and make himself comfortable.

“Good feedback and pics. Very easy to communicate with.”

“Sierra did an amazing job taking care of my Jack Russel Terrier! She helped out when another dog sitter bailed out last minute, and she was very quick to get back to me whenever I contacted her. I was very nervous using this service for the first time, but Sierra put my mind at ease. I definitely recommend her, and will use her again when I need her!”
