About: Pets have been such a major part of my life. I grew up with dogs and cats all my life and love spending time with all animals. I enjoy taking the dogs for walk and enjoying the fresh air. Loving and caring for animals is a part of my life and something i enjoy doing. I care for animals as if they were my own and will do what is needed to make sure you pets are taken great care of. I want to make sure i meet all of your expectations and make sure you and your pets are happy. I strive to build bonds with the animals and understand the pets as best as i can. I can’t wait to meet your pets and spend time with them. I currently am a full time assistant manager in Rehoboth beach, but i can always make time to walk or play with any pet I’m watching. I live in an apartment building, so i don’t have any fenced in areas but there is plenty of room too pls and walk. There are also dog friendly parks in the area


14. Ashley T.

“Ashley did a great job.”


15. Jessica R.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9 my family I would always offer to walk and bathe and even feed them for my family because I simply enjoy animals so much I am currently working part time so I have a very flexible schedule to come play or walk your pup whenever you need me too I have a fenced backyard And my neighbors tend to keep to themselves so they would not bother your fur baby and of course I’m always going to keep them company




16. April B.
“April recently watched my dog Boo. She is a VERY responsible and loving dog caregiver. She made sure she had her meds and walked her at the requested times. I would highly recommend April to any of my friends and family to watch anyone's pet!”


17. Margaret C.
About: I've always had at least one dog and one cat at all times. I currently have 2 dogs right now. I have experienced in giving pill and liquid meds to dogs. My one dog would always have to be given meds with something while my other one too with ease. I've had to help wrap my sister's dogs legs with her and by myself. My personal dog currently are a 1 year old 70 lbs lab mix (male) and a 95 lbs mastiff mix (male). My sister's dog is a 50 lbs boxer mix (female). My first dog was a 95 lbs rhodesian ridge back who died of sickness at age 13. And my second dog was a 95 lbs staffordshire terrier great dane mix who passed from cancer at age 9. And I've worked with dogs at under one but over 7 months. And I've worked with seniors. Nothing grosses me out in the sense of bodily fluids I can do all the normal. I currently have no job I'm a full time college student with some extra time on my hands. I'm looking to be able to help others and maybe have some fun with some pets. I can easily crate you dog or take them on a long walk. If your animal need meds as long as I know of them I can give it to them easily (ex. liquid or pill) unless I don't know how to ( ex. shots) then I will ask if you'd like to. If they need meds or food to be given a specific way like peanut butter with the pill or has a release command to get food. I'm willing to walk through the whole house as long as doors are unlocked and check for if they made a mess either vomit or poop or pee and pick it up. Blood does not gross me out and I'm willing to do anything for their safety.


18. Deanna P.

“Deanna was so wonderful and loved our fur babies while we were gone. She also took extra steps to change our bed sheets for us when she knew we were getting home late. A true sign my dogs were happy, they jumped up and snuggles with her.”


19. Scott M.
“Scott grew up with 2 or 3 dogs at all times and as many as 5 cats. He is super caring and has always been active in taking care of them. Since moving out after college he has taken care of our pets when we are away. He is unable to have a dog in his apartment but does have a cat. When he is around animals he spends a lot of time talking to them, loving on them and/or entertaining them”


20. Jade A.
“Hello! My name is Jennifer Clifton. I am Jades' current supervisor. I believe Jade is great fit for your company. She demonstrates care and has particular interest when pets come into our store. She often talks of animals and her care for them is evident. Thank you for your time.”
