“Wonderful with the dogs and cats. Went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy while we were away. Kept the house tidy and very respectful of our space. Excellent communication, we got updates and pictures of the animals during our time away. Will definitely be booking with him again.”

Amanda N.

“Thank you Jenni and Matt for being so wonderful! We had the best experience with our older lab. Ellie is getting too old to stay at kennels and we are more comfortable having her home where she is familiar and happy. Jenni and Matt stayed with Ellie over the weekend and did an amazing job. They were there frequently, spent lots of time with Ellie, and communicated with us through text and pictures. We are so appreciative of their help and very happy we found people we can trust. We are looking forward to planning more trips and using Jenni and Matt's services.”

“This was my first time using Rover and she truly made me feel confident and comfortable leaving my babies! She kept in contact and updated me every step of the way. I will definitely be using her in the future!”

“Macey was MORE than we expected for our furbaby! Went the extra mile every day, sending frequent photo check ins and stayed in contact with us regularly. Our pup absolutely loved her, and we’ll be booking again soon! A+ 5 Star service is what you’ll get when you book with Macey! Can’t recommend her services and true professionalism enough! Thank you, Macey for putting our mind at ease knowing our furbaby was in the right hands!!”

About: From caring for 10 senior dogs at a rescue, to bathing dogs that got sprayed by skunks, to training and taking dogs on their own outings to parks and nature hikes, you name it I’ve done it! Even flying with dogs! ✈️ I have experience with all breeds, ages, and like to keep pet parents informed with notes & pics. Growing up in farm country taught me to love and care for all animals, but dogs and cats are by far my favorite. I also have experience in administering medications to our furry friends. I left my career of being a nanny in CA to move to the east coast to marry my husband. That was 2019, and I’ve been boarding/caring for animals since then. I’m currently a stay-at-home wifey so the dogs get 100 percent of my attention when they are with us. We live in a 3 story townhouse with a small unfenced yard in front of our home, to a large grassy area on the side of our home, to a giant green grass patch directly behind us just out our back door. The neighborhood is VERY dog-friendly with lots of sidewalks and comes complete with a dog park in walking distance. Our home is dog-friendly meaning dogs are allowed on all furniture and we even have doggie steps for little pooches to get up on our bed if they wish. We also have a 2mile + walking path near us. So we have plenty of activity options. We even have Pluto cartoons for your pet to watch! Pets get 100 percent of my attention when they stay with us. Their comfort and safety is my priority as I do pet care full-time. Our home has no place that’s off limits to your pets. If they want to snuggle on our bed or relax on our couch or even be in our guest room - they are more than welcome wherever they are most comfortable. We even have a massive bean bag most animals love thinking it’s a giant dog bed 😂.

“Rebecca was great! She came for a meet and greet and was very friendly. We felt safe leaving our pets and our home in her care- she was also very responsive to messages and sent updates. Will definitely book again!”

About: As both a dog lover and recently funemployed, I’ll be able to commit 100% of my time to taking care of your furry friend. I’m a previous dog owner of 11+ years as well as an experienced sitter for both puppies and several senior dogs. I do what it takes to make your pup as happy and comfy as possible while you’re away — I’ll treat them like family! Up until recently I’d been working in corporate, and I’m choosing to take a small break in between careers. My previous employers and pet care clients can attest to my attention to detail, my excellent communication skills, and my willingness to do what it takes to get the job done.

“Definitely took care of my fur babies they were not anxious when I got back home which is a relief. I only critic would be of the amount of times my door alerted me of in and out home alerts (not ones of taking out trash which makes me anxious) and would like more photos next time. But other than that kitty care 10/10. And like I said next time as in, I would have her take care of my babies again!💕 very sweet lady. Very responsive. And knows what’s she is doing.”

“Abby is great! She’s very proactive in her communication and took great care of our dog.”

Jillian W.

“Gracie was absolutely amazing! We got daily updates of his day. We were worried about leaving him because he gets anxious. He was absolutely great with her. He misses her so much he keeps laying in the room she stayed in. Will definitely be using her again!”

Kaylin J.

“Jonaika is a mature, kind, responsible and communicative young woman. She stayed in our home with our two dogs for a holiday week, and provided loving and consistent care. She has a warm temperament which dogs loved, flows instructions, and cares for pets with great accountability. I highly recommend Jonaika for any pet sitting situation.”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and stared caring for others when I was about 10. I love animals big and small- I currently own 4 dogs and a hamster of my own! I've raised litters of puppies, done bottle feedings and given meds when needed. I've also been ridden horses since I was 5 and have helped watch over livestock while housesitting. Over the years i've sat and walked dogs(with little puppy training mixed in), cared for cats and volunteered at Faithful Friends cat rooms, watched as little as hamsters/bunnies to horses. Animals really do have my heart 🐾🩷 I recently graduated with my nursing degree and am currently working 9-5 throughout the week. I'm available before and after my shifts and on weekends!! I care for pets in my clients home with love. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible and follow any specific instructions. I make sure they have fresh water, fed on time, plenty of playtime and cuddles. I will clean up any accidents and keep the house clean! I love to send pics and updates so you can see the fun they're having, as well as giving you peace of mind while being away.

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and have spent most of my adult life volunteering for 2 animal rescue organizations. I fostered over 170 cats for my last organization (that was over a period of 15 years!) caring for all ages as well as taking in some with medical needs. I'm skilled at administering medications of all sorts and we currently have an asthmatic cat that takes an inhaler. I've been a "cat person" my whole life, but love dogs too! My husband and I love the large breeds, in particular Mastiffs. We currently have 3 cats plus a Mastiff who is the biggest baby. :-) We recently moved to Delaware (from just outside of DC) and I'm looking to re-start pet sitting as I LOVE meeting new furbabies and taking care of them. I used to pet sit in VA but put it to the side when fostering took up most of my free time. I recently took an early retirement and have plenty of free time so can offer flexibility. Since I'm married my husband helps takes care of our own cats/dog, and he understands my love of animals and desire to help others. I understand that every cat/dog is unique, with their own personality and needs. I will take the time to get to know each one and tailor my approach to ensure their comfort level,

“Tre has a calm demeanor & is very professional. He came over prior to house sitting to meet our dog, who took to him immediately. He followed our schedule, took him for long walks and when we came home our dog was well adjusted and comforted. Thank you, Tre for a job well done!”

About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs, and worked briefly in an animal shelter, caring for dogs from newborn puppies to seniors, responsible for their daily care and enrichment. My job ends at 3:30pm, allowing me flexibility in afternoons and evenings, while being totally free on weekends to tend to any dog or cat. As the seasons change, so do my hours, allowing me more availability for bookings. I have knowledge on animal enrichment and training, and know how to handle different pets with all different temperaments. I know how to crate dogs, walk them, and bond with all sorts of dogs and cats.

About: I had 2 dogs, a shibu-chi mix and shitzu females that act like adorable little sisters. My sister also owns 2 dogs, a little black poodle dog and pitbull-terrier mix, both of whom I love so very much! I’ve had to petsit for her many years, so I am familiar working with big dogs. In the Philippines, I had a grey puppy named Jamie, that was a very rare and intelligent breed! By the time I had to fly back to the states, he was potty-trained and knew basic commands(sit, stay, paw, etc.) I hope to own my own big dog someday! I make room for pet-sitting at the end of the week, usually Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I would make the schedule fit into my calendar that works for the owner and make it apart of my daily routine. In the clients home, I’m only going to do what is required and requested for the petsitting time period. If there are any additional notes that I need to know, particularly for the pets needs then I will need to know before I arrive at the location. I implement a set schedule to ensure I can meet the requirements of all of my clients accordingly and efficiently, so that I’m sure I’m prepared for anything in the owners absence.
