Doggy Day Care in Heritage

“Lauren is very flexible and understanding and really great with Chai! Great with updates and giving Chai lots of opportunities to potty and exercise. Chai also gets along great with Lauren’s own pups!”

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for a diverse range of pet breeds and ages, I offer personalized, trustworthy pet sitting that prioritizes your furry family members' unique needs. I understand how much pets mean to their owners, and I’m dedicated to providing the highest level of care and companionship while you’re away. Your pets will feel safe, loved, and right at home! I am fortunate to be able to work from home Monday-Friday, which allows me flexibility throughout the day to serve families in my area for short visits or walks. Weekends are wide open for longer visits or even overnight stays! I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment in all my pet sitting services. Your pets deserve a secure and loving space, and I ensure they receive the highest level of care and attention while you’re away. My back yard is fully fenced as well. You can rest easy knowing that your furry friends are in safe hands.

About: I’ve cared for the pets of friends and family for many years, and I’d love to offer my help with your precious friends too! I currently have a Bassett hound/springer spaniel mix named Moody Blues, but enjoy dogs of all sizes and even the sassiest cats! This is currently my main job, so ensuring my flexibility for you is priority! I look forward to working with you to make sure your pets are cared for. I love to visit and take care of friends! For dogs, we can walk, play at home, I can bring Moody Blues if your dog would enjoy visits, and I’m happy to take care of any cleanups or feedings as well. For my cat friends, I’m happy to take care of the same things, with offers of cuddles and lap time in place of the walks for the indoor kitties.

About: I can definitely relate to the stress caused by taking out the suitcases when it comes to your pets. Those sad eyes! Or maybe you have the occasional extra-long day at work or away from home, and just want the peace of mind that comes with knowing the dog was able to go out, get some attention, and eat at his normal time. I also know what a relief it is to find a reliable and caring pet sitter - especially one who goes the extra mile to make sure you can spend your time away from home knowing the animals are well cared for. I’d love to meet you and your dog(s) and/or cat(s) ahead of time, but life happens - so I am available on short notice as well. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am happy to consider any special needs your pets might have, dietary, meds, etc. I live in Newark, DE & currently have lots of flexibility in my days to accommodate your needs for drop in visits or walking. You can usually find me outside and I’m often taking a walk - with my cat in his stroller! (He loves it!) I’d love to give your pup some exercise on my next walk. And I’m all his during our outings :) Just tell me what you need me to do! Let me know anything to be aware of, likes/dislikes, if you’d like photos while you’re away… basically I will treat your fur-baby the same way I would want a sitter to treat mine.

“Astro always has a great time and is so well taken care of with Joseph! He always makes sure the other pups match Astro’s energy and excitement, and gives my shy pup time to open up. Lucky to have found his services!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and had family pets throughout my childhood. I’ve been a pet owner for 12 years and look forward to helping you meet your pets needs. I work mostly from home so I have flexibility to care for your dogs needs. I’m also available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have family home with a fenced in backyard to let your dog take care of their needs and sunbathe if they so desire. I have a dog and cat who can keep your fur baby lots of company. I also have space to crate your fur baby if you so wish.

“This was my first time getting a sitter, Elizabeth truly took care of my dog like it was her own. It made me feel at ease to have someone like that watch over him and I didn't need to keep messaging or feel anxious. She truly loves dogs and I 100 percent recommend her to anyone with a dog that needs a place to feel loved and cared for even for a short or long while. She also gave me tips on how to administer meds for my pup! It was extremely helpful! She was a wonderful experience for my pup and for me as an owner!”

About: Your pets are your babies; your home is your sanctuary. I understand & relate to both. I treat your pets & home as I would like mine to be treated. Leaving our four-legged friends behind while we work or travel is really hard. You miss them, and they miss you. Will they be OK? Yes! With me, they will be more than OK. They will be happy. They will be loved. They will have fun. They will enjoy our time together. This all means you can leave your babies behind and not worry!! Caring for pets brings me great joy. I hope you'll reach out. Thanks! Specializations: I specialize in caring for seniors, separation-prone anxiety & nervous cats & dogs; untrained puppies, and recently rescued, adopted & fostered. It's all about building a trusted relationship where an animal feels safe, secure & loved. I work with my niece, who is an Emergency Veterinarian. Birds/Parrots: I am also an avian behavior specialist who rescues and provides forever homes for parrots, including large ones, screamers, biters, and disabled. If you see this and know of a bird parent who can no longer provide the care & attention, proper nutrition, cage-free time & medical needs for their parrot, please reach out to me. There are so many birds out there with owners who just don't have the time, patience, or financial resources that parrots need. Many outlive their caregivers. Thank you! Need care for your pet at the last minute? No worries. I try to be THAT sitter you can count on to always be there for you when you need help the most. I am flexible. I don't charge for last-minute changes, and if available, I'm more than happy to accommodate your change in plans. I'm interested in working with families and their pets on a loyal, repeated, long-term basis. Your pet deserves a familiar face and a trusted caregiver when separated from their family. Each home, owner, and pet is unique and special. My services are uniquely tailored for every pet I am privileged to care for. I will provide you and your pet with the specific care and services you and your loved ones require and expect.

“Latoya was very sweet and prompt with her responding. She helped my dog who’s very anxious to feel calm which put me at ease. Would definitely recommend Latoya and use her again for services!”

“Our dog was well cared for and loved during his day care stay! We could tell he had a wonderful time at Cecelia’s and definitely came out of it making some new friends! Thank you so much!!!”

“Olivia is amazing! She is very reliable, flexible with scheduling, and great with communication. She clearly loves animals and has been so great with my puppy—he is very anxious around people but loves Olivia! Highly recommend her for walks and sitting!”

About: I have had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember! I have dog sat multiple times including having dogs in my own home & going to others home! I work full time but I do have 2 dogs of my own who can go about 6 hours between bathroom breaks. If that is something your dog is able to do, we will be the perfect match for a week day! I am available most weekends and am able to offer bathrooms breaks as often as needed on weekends! I have 2 dogs of my own who are extremely friendly towards other dogs! We have a large yard & I take my own dogs on multiple walks a day, which is something that can be done for your dog as well!

“Dreamer loves coming to see Coleen. He runs out of the car and right to the front door. I think he knows he's getting extra spoiling!! ”

“Sunaina was great with Loki! He had such a great time with her and her family. She sent us many pictures and updates periodically of him during his time with them. She listened to our instructions on his allergies and food timing, and took him out for walks. We were super happy that he was happy! Definitely will book again when we are back in the area!”

Krishna P.

“Claudia is great with my little fur baby! She spends extra time with him and is very gentle with him. I can tell that he enjoys her company. I can tell that she is well educated when it comes to dealing with animals and has even taken the time to teach me some tricks and tips as I am a first time dog owner with crazy long hours at work. I will definitely be using her services frequently.”

Bianca M.

“Was very friendly and welcoming. Kept me updated and informed with my puppy. He seemed very calm and happy. Definitely recommend and would be back!”

“I was in need of dog sitting services while I took my mother to her annual doctor visit at Univ. Of Pennsylvania. I contacted Samantha and she graciously accepted my request without the usual "meet and greet". Since we didn't have a "Meet n Greet" prior to the day I booked her, I arrived a bit early so we could have an opportunity to chat prior to me leaving my King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Benny, with her. Samantha sent me photos of Benny with her pug, Minnie and her two Goldens' Wesley and Reya. I felt even more comfortable knowing that she's a certified vet tech! It is evident Samantha loves animals and will treat your furbaby like her own. I knew Benny was left in very capable hands. I can't thank her enough. I will definitely rebook with her.”

Davida B.

“We booked Shanisa last minute to watch our two dogs, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled. We had a meet-and-greet before, and she was clearly very kind and engaged with the dogs. She had an array of toys and harnesses and came extremely prepared. She sent us video and photo updates to put us at ease. Our dogs had a blast, and we just wish she was in every city we visited!”

James L.

“Courtney was great with our dog! We needed to find a sitter last minute and she was happy to help out. She was quick to respond to everything, provided updates throughout the day, and kept our dog in great care. Would highly recommend!”

Candace S.

“Wrigley had a great time! Rita went above and beyond and took such good care of her. Highly recommend!”
