Dog Sitting Havre de Grace

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between, I treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a shy senior cat who just wants a cozy lap, I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—including those with special medical or behavioral needs. From daily walks and playtime to overnight stays and medication administration, I provide dependable, compassionate care that gives pet parents peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m here to make tails wag and whiskers twitch—while keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages along the way! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with you pet. I am available after 2pm throughout the week and my weekends are open. My space is designed with your pet’s comfort and safety in mind. With space to roam, nap, and play, your furry friend will feel right at home from the moment they arrive. I offer a clean, secure, and peaceful environment—free from hazards and full of love. Whether it’s a quiet corner for a cat to curl up or a fenced yard for dogs to stretch their legs, I’ve created a space that caters to all personalities and energy levels. Pets enjoy supervised playtime, cozy sleeping areas, and a calm atmosphere that helps ease separation anxiety. I maintain a consistent routine, provide fresh water and clean bedding daily, and ensure every guest receives personalized attention. Plus, I’m always happy to send photo updates so you can see just how relaxed and happy your pet is during their stay.

About: All pets are created equal! I am an animal lover at heart and have been taking care of dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits and reptiles for many years. I have 4 dogs, a snake, and a bearded dragon of my own that have my whole heart. I always look forward to taking care of my friends & family’s fur babies while they go on vacations. I work full time Monday - Friday 7am to 4pm but other than that I am free to travel and I am very flexible. I’m more than willing to provide overnight stays for your beloved pets. I will love and care for your animal(s) just like family. Each animal will receive my undivided attention under my care. And I will respect your home just as it were my own. Can’t wait to offer my services!

About: Hello furry parents! My name is Lily and I’m excited to support you and your family. I have worked with all dog breeds and all ages through fostering. I am currently in my training certification program to provide proper education to you and your puppers. I am an online student looking to spend my free time with amazing pets. My top priority is to give all animals time and love. Whether it’s giving a long walk, using my dog park at my complex or administering medication, I’m your girl! When I would care for your pets, it’s all about the greeting. I would love to make sure your pets are as comfortable with you as for me! If you’d love me to help them learn tricks, feel free to request!

About: I’ve spent years caring for and training dogs, including raising and training four Australian Cattle Dogs—a breed known for its intelligence and high energy. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to read canine body language, reinforce good behaviors, and confidently handle dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also walked dogs for several of my mom’s clients throughout the Hockessin and Wilmington area. My focus is on providing safe, reliable, and personalized care while treating every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently home full-time, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment, affection, and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods. Your dog will be welcomed into a safe, loving home and treated like one of my own. I have a fully fenced 0.5-acre yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore under supervision, as well as three friendly, well-socialized dogs for those who enjoy canine companionship. I also do my best to maintain each dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind while you’re away and for your dog to feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re with me. I’m a Registered Nurse with a background in cardiac care and high-stress open-heart surgery, where being dependable, attentive, calm under pressure, and detail-oriented was essential every single day. After years of caring for my patients’ hearts, I’ve now been able to channel that same compassion into one of my greatest passions—dogs. I like to think I’ve gone from caring for my patients’ hearts to caring for my clients’ whole hearts—their dogs. ❤️🐾 My nursing background has shaped the way I care for animals. I take safety seriously, pay close attention to changes in behavior or well-being, follow instructions carefully, and understand the importance of medications and routines. Most importantly, I want owners to know they are leaving their dog with someone who is responsible, reliable, professional, and genuinely invested in their care.

About: As a nurse, caring for others is at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of attention, patience, and responsibility to every pet in my care. I work only 2–4 days a week, and there is always an attentive family member at home, so your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and affection throughout the day. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including dogs and other animals, so caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Those experiences taught me how to understand different pet personalities, needs, and routines from an early age. My family has a 7-year-old Cavapoo named Bentley, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of walking paths and open green spaces nearby, giving dogs lots of opportunities for exercise, exploration, and fresh air. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a calm, relaxed environment, I tailor their care to their individual needs. My healthcare background has taught me to be observant, dependable, and detail-oriented, which is especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, following special routines, administering medications, or recognizing changes in behavior. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while ensuring their dogs feel happy, safe, and loved during their stay. 🐾❤️ Caring for fur babies naturally fits into my daily routine. As a nurse, I am flexible with plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. On the days I am home, dogs receive regular walks, playtime, attention, potty breaks, cleaning cages, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are never left alone for long periods and continue to receive supervision, care, and interaction. My dog, Bentley is family, so daily walks, feeding schedules, exercise, and cuddle time are already built into my routine. I live in a walkable, dog-friendly neighborhood with nearby green spaces, making it easy to provide multiple walks and opportunities for exercise each day. I enjoy maintaining a consistent routine that helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and at home while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a calm, relaxed environment, I tailor their care to their individual needs. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog is treated like family. Whether in my home or a client's home, I follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I tailor my approach to each dog's temperament whether they are energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or prefer a calm and relaxed environment.

“Kelsey came through for me last minute to take care of my dog when my father passed away. I’m forever grateful 🙏🏾”

“Rebecca was a lifesaver jumping in last minute after two other pet sitters fell through. She loved our three kitties while we were gone for a week and followed all the instructions. Our 16 year old Sasha was in the best mood I’ve ever seen her after we’ve been gone so long so that tells me she had plenty of attention. She sent us lots of photos and updates. We will definitely call her again!”

“Alexandra did a great job dropping in and taking care of our dogs. She sent us pictures and let us know how they were doing.”

About: I am here to take of your dog and to provide them the love they long when it’s vacation time for owners (or anytime you need to yourself). Provide exercise for dogs (usually in half-hour or one-hour increments). Pick up and dispose of dog droppings during walks. Check dogs' food and water supply to make sure basic needs are met after walks. I am very patient and show a lot of compassion towards dog. I just want them to feel at home away from home! I am also a very active person, so your dog will be able to have all of their fun they usually have or more when they are with me! I hope to walk your dog soon! Prices are non negotiable I am working from home currently. This will allow me to give your first baby all of the attention they desire. Please ask me any questions on any accommodations that we may be able to work out. I don’t have any pets of my own so if your fur baby isn’t fond of other pets they can feel secure being over my home. My I am close with my neighbors who do have friendly pets as well, so if your pet loves company, they can be easily accommodated. We also have a dog park walking distance from the complex

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and look after their pets. While doing this on a part time basis, Pet care is a regular part of my routine—I plan my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m flexible and make sure each pet gets the care and consistency they need. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment—whether in my home or yours.

I have a fenced in yard and one small dog that can be a companion for your dog or respecting each other space. I have no issue using a crate if preferred.

“Abby great service, with a smile. She sends messages when needed and is attentive.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have been around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities for as long as I can remember! Over the years, caring for pets has become second nature to me. Beyond my own lifelong experience with animals, I’ve spent significant time taking care of pets during babysitting jobs, where I routinely handled feeding schedules, walking, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention while their owners were away. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk around the neighborhood, a belly rub, or a reliable routine to keep them feeling safe and happy, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own! As a full-time online college student, my schedule is exceptionally flexible! Since I complete my coursework from home, I am around throughout the day to keep your pets company, stick strictly to their normal feeding and walk routines, and provide frequent check-ins, play sessions, or cuddles whenever they need them. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for any pet! In my home, I have a medium-sized dog who is friendly and loves playing with other dogs, making it a great environment for social pups. Whether in my home or yours, I always ensure animals stay safe by keeping them securely on a leash in open areas and outdoors. When sitting in a client's home, I take great care to respect your space and strictly follow all house rules, feeding schedules, and care preferences so your pet’s routine remains as consistent and stress-free as possible.

About: Leaving your home either for work or leisure isn’t always easy or fun when having to leave your pet behind. Allow me to make that just a little easier on you, your family and your pet. My attention to detail, positive attitude and love for all pets make me the best person for this job. I’m a believer in washing the pets food and water bowl before every meal! Doing the same things I would want done to my dog if I was away. Not to mention I give THE BEST belly and ear rubs! With over 10+ years of experience with house/dog sitting and 13+ years with my own two dogs, they’re both in doggy heaven now, which is why I love meeting new dogs and their loved ones. Great references available and super flexible. Great for those last minute get a ways or the ones you planned a year in advance. Do well with multiple pets at a time. I don’t mind rolling around and having a great time with the doggies as long as they’re having fun. I’m also aware of the discomfort you might have about leaving me in your home but I am very respectful of your private space and will watch over your house and things as they were my own. On the day of your arrival back if require me provide dinner or return to your home after 4pm an additional day will be added to the back end of your request, tips are also greatly appreciated. Depending on the length of your get away, the amount of pets, I’m flexible with my prices. I’m do have a full time job which I’ve been at over 18 years. I’m currently working a hybrid schedule which allows me to work from home 2 days out of the week. This means three days out of the week I will have to go into the office for my 8 hour shift. Live in a pet friendly complex and plenty of walking area. There is a dog friendly park in front of building across the stress which allows for walks

I am recently in remission from cancer, extremely stable, and I make animals my full time job! I am free anytime! Day, night, weekends and weekdays I’m free to help!
