Dog Sitting Hockessin

About: I’ve had dogs in my household since I was 5, meaning I’m skilled in taking care of dogs and am ready for anything they might need. I’ve dogs at for multiple neighbors of the years, and many of those dogs have been old dogs with specific instructions to keep them healthy. I’ve done multiple weeks of overnight care for dogs as well as simple daycare or dog walks for people that need help. I’m currently studying to become a vet and I would love to have the chance to get to know your furry companion! I am open to help out any day of the week as needed. I have a part-time job with schedule hours that change each week, but none of those hours include nighttime’s. I am willing to take your pet even last minute if I am capable. In my home, I make sure to let the dog out first thing in the morning and right before bed to allow them to use the bathroom as needed. In my household I take my dog for a walk around 9 every morning and 5 every night, then feeding him at 6pm. Other food given to him includes a treat in the morning and a couple in the afternoon that I put in his bowl. In between those times, I will spend time with my dog either sitting on the couch together watching tv or playing games.

About: I've been taking care of dogs/cats for about 5-6 years now. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while they're away. Whether your dog/cat loved long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention, I'll treat them like they're my own! I have a flexible schedule, so I'm available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week! I'm more than happy to work around your pet's routine, whether that means long walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company while you're away. When caring for pets, I always make their safety and comfort my top priority. I follow each owners instructions closely, stick to their usually routine, and make sure they have plenty of fresh water, exercise, and attention.

“Theresa was great at adapting to circumstances beyond our control. There was so much ice and snow outside that playing outside was not an option. She spent time playing inside with our high energy dog.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young. Growing up with new foster puppies every week, I learned how to house-train young puppies and keep them out of trouble. I love spending time with pets and have really enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family! I just graduated from NC State University this May and am taking this summer off from work before beginning my PhD program this fall. This means I will have a of availability to spend time with your pets and provide them with the attention they deserve. I will be available for home visits at your desired frequency and duration so that your pets get the attention and play time they need.

About: Hi my name is Rachel i’m 21 years old looking for pet owners who need pet assistance. I’m currently studying business at del tech community college and i’m a third year. I have babysat dogs and cats before and overnight sat as well. I enjoy being around animals they make me happy. I also own a doggie named Teddy of my own he’s 6 years old and he’s a shitzu. Caring for a pet requires consistency, time management, and attention to their physical and emotional needs. Depending on the type of pet, daily tasks may include feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, grooming, cleaning living spaces, and monitoring health and behavior. I walk my dog Teddy, a shitzu everyday twice and he doesn’t have an open yard. Caring for pets at a clients home depend on the space and environment.

“Amazing!! Took care of Tex well beyond what was expected and really enjoyed the pic and video updates. Was very responsive and so kind. Highly recommend if you don’t want to be worried if your pup is getting the care and attention they deserve.”

About: Hi! I’m Bree, and I’ve always loved animals. I’m currently the proud owner of two cats, Dewey and Olive, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I know every pet has a unique personality. Some love to play, while others simply want a calm companion, and I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I work remotely Monday through Friday, which allows me to offer morning, evening, and weekend visits, along with limited midday availability when my schedule permits. Whether your pet needs fresh food and water, playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they are well cared for! I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s tailored to their needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, or simply spending quality time together, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own.

“He’s amazing. Very understanding of what the customer wants and needs are. He has a very calming aura. my dog normally barks at people, but she did not bark at him”

About: About Me: I adore animals of all kinds! Every pet is unique, with their own quirks and personalities, and they each deserve specialized care. With several years of experience walking dogs for neighbors and pet sitting, I understand the importance of providing a personalized, loving experience. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can cater to your pet's specific needs. My Fur Family: I grew up with a small, fluffy dog named Gracie, and she taught me the joys of training, from potty training to crate training, and teaching her all the fun tricks she knows! My current roommate is an American shorthair cat named Eila, though we mostly call her Miss Bean. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible for both walking dogs and house sitting. I am also generally available on the weekends with a bit of notice! Pet safety and comfort is my top priority! We will discuss your pet's habits, hygiene, routines, and health to ensure I can give them the best care possible.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have been the proud owner of my own dog for the past 1.5 years. Caring for my own dog has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, training, grooming, and recognizing their individual needs. Growing up with dogs has also taught me how to interact with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or just providing companionship, I’m committed to following each pet’s routine and making them feel safe and comfortable. I also make time to send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, receive any medications if needed, and have lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean and secure and provide regular updates with photos so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, enrichment, and affection. I make sure each pet has access to fresh water, follows their normal feeding schedule, and gets individualized care based on their personality and needs.

“Arrived promptly on schedule and spent quality time with our two dogs. Sent pictures each time. Will certainly use Lisa’s service again and would recommend her for those looking for a compassionate animal caregiver.”

About: I've grown up with large dogs, cats, and chickens my entire life. I started dog sitting in high school for friends and family, which inspired me to pursue veterinary science. While applying to vet schools, I always love to take care of your critters and remind myself who I'm doing it for! I'm currently applying to veterinary school and freelance shadowing at different clinics in the area, so I'll have lots of time to entertain your pets! Because of this, my availability varies week-to-week, so please check my calendar. In addition to my fair share of scratches and bites growing up, working in wild animal rehabilitation has made me confident with strong, harder-to-handle animals, and I'm confident I can keep your dogs and cats entertained when they get a little hyper, and I can calm them down when it's time for a nap!

“Matt is a fantastic dog walker. He spends a few hours a day with our day and takes great care of her. He walks her, feeds her, and plays with her. He is 100% reliable.”
