About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves care that meets their unique needs — whether that’s a fun, stimulating walk or a calm, reassuring visit. I’ve raised my own dog from puppyhood to adulthood and spent years learning about enrichment games, and training methods that build confidence and trust. I’ve spent time with multiple rescue dogs and I understand how to give anxious or excitable dogs the space and structure they need to feel safe. During walks and drop-in visits, I tailor the experience to your pet — mixing play, training reinforcement, and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to body language, use calm communication, and always prioritize safety, keeping dogs under threshold and away from stress triggers. Whether your dog thrives on adventure or needs a gentler touch, you can count on me to show up with patience, consistency, and care. I’m also comfortable with basic grooming, administering medication, and supporting senior pets. Your pets are family — and I’ll treat them like my own. I work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility during the day for pet care. I’m usually available on weekdays during normal business hours — great for midday walks, drop-in visits, or keeping pets company while you’re at work. I can sometimes do early evenings or weekends with a little notice. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love spending my free hours making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable during our time together. During drop-in visits, I follow your routines closely — whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medication — so your pet gets the care they’re used to. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and anything else that keeps your pet safe, and I always make sure your home stays respected and tidy. I love sending updates and photos so you can see how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.

About: I have trained two vivacious pups from 8 weeks old as well as walked a blind senior pug with diabetes. I love to be outside, keep a clean home, and keep a very close eye on any dog I'm with. I may be a bit of a paranoid dog mom to some but pet safety and happiness are very important to me. I'm currently working part time after moving to Delaware from South Carolina to be closer to my partner's family and new job. I am available to walk during the workdays M-F right now. I can board or house sit any evening. I have a fenced in yard. My landlord lives upstairs with three friendly Pomeranians but I have a separate entrance if your pup is not feeling friendly. I have tile and hardwood floors, no carpet.

About: I've been taking care of my corgi, Muffin, for 10+ years since she was a puppy! Trained, fed, walked, played, etc. I've done drop-by visits for both dogs and cats for pet parents who are traveling. I've also taken care of my neighbors dogs many times while the owners were out on vacation. Also included in my photos are farm animals that I had the pleasure of hanging out with the past two summers! Happy to accommodate to your pet sitting needs! As an upcoming college student currently working a part time job this summer, I have some free time to spare! I would love to help out in any way I can. In my home, me and my corgi play fetch and lounge around outside in our big fenced in backyard! I will put in the same amount of effort for your pets that I do for mine. There are also many amazing parks nearby where I walk my dog!

About: Hi, I'm Leticia and I cannot wait to meet your fur baby! I love all pets and have a big family of my own consisting of pups and cats. I have raised them all and have experience caring for all their independent needs. I know how hard it is leaving pets behind during time away from home and I want to make that experience as comfortable and stress free for both you and your pet. How? I prefer caring for pets in their homes since they are already comfortable and have their favorite napping spots and all their toys handy. This takes away the anxiety of staying in a new home. For pet parents, I will gladly send as many updates as you want including pictures and videos to ease your mind and let you know that your baby is in great care and having fun! I also understand that sometimes life can get hectic and we need more helping hands to take pets for walks.

About: I have a doggy daycare and boarding business for 5yrs in Kansas that’s still operating. Living here for School and Life Change. I still have the passion for dogs who needs us from being a couch potato to being an athlete 🤣 I’m flexible with my schedule since I am only working on Graduate School studies at UD. Definitely have the time to fit your fur babies needs and daily check up. I need full transparency of the dogs life from behavior, house train, medical history, feeding schedule, exercise routine via walking, playing etc. in addition to what training works for the dogs will help me understand the dogs better.

“I have NEVER heard my dog scream in excitement like he did when he saw Matt again yesterday! If I ever die, I really hope Matt & Jenni would consider taking him in! Their dog, Daisy, is seriously my dog's favorite girlfriend. Thank you both for so lovingly enriching his life!”
