House Sitting Kirkwood

“I'm so glad I reached out to Destiny to care for my pup including overnight on Thanksgiving. I think my pup thought she was on vacation having extra walks, treats, attention and company. From beginning to end, everything with Destiny was flawless.”

“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 spent years caring for and training dogs, including raising and training four Australian Cattle Dogs—a breed known for its intelligence and high energy. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to read canine body language, reinforce good behaviors, and confidently handle dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also walked dogs for several of my mom’s clients throughout the Hockessin and Wilmington area. My focus is on providing safe, reliable, and personalized care while treating every dog as if they were my own. I am home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and affection. Being home full-time also allows me to closely monitor each dog’s well-being, maintain their routine, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your dog will be cared for like one of my own in a safe, loving home environment. I have a fully fenced 0.6-acre yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under supervision. They’ll also have the companionship of my three friendly, well-socialized dogs if they enjoy being around other dogs. Throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of exercise, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and affection. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions, so they feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you’re away.

“I was going to be away on a 15 day vacation in Europe and concerned I wouldn’t be able to find a someone I could trust to care for my two young cats for such a long time. Any and all worries melted away when I met Jen! She is very personable, very reliable and caring. Jen sent me daily updates on my kitties interactions with her and lots of photos . I highly recommend her to care for your pet. I will definitely continue with Jen for taking care of my fur babies 😊”

“Reid was just great!! We went on a family vacation to Italy and he knew how nervous I was about leaving my 2 pups because of a past experience. We were gone for 9 days and just after the first day I was at ease knowing Reid was home with my boys. He sent me videos and pics almost daily and was quick to respond when I was Checking in. I was actually able to enjoy my vacation knowing my boys were being taken care of! They looked happy in the pics too! We will definitely be using Reid in the future!”

“Nina did an excellent job taking care of our puppy. We got him last week and were so nervous to leave him alone. She gave us updates, sent us pics, got back to us within minutes, followed all instructions we asked of her, and ensured his safety. My puppy is sooo shy with other people, and he went right to her. 10/10, will book for the future!!!:)”

“Wonderful pet sitter. She was on time, communicated throughout the whole stay and sent pictures. She even paid attention to how much my dog was eating and made sure that was normal (he doesn't eat much typically). The dogs and cats seemed to enjoy having her stay and the pictures she sent showed them getting lots of love.”

Amanda N.

“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!”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and stared caring for others when I was 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 rode 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. I’ve watched anxious pets that need time to come around as well as high energy that need plenty of exercise/stimulation. Animals really do have my heart and I’d be happy to care for yours! 🐾🩷 I am a Private Duty Nurse 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.

“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!”

Maura J.

“Selena was wonderful! She watched our house and our dog for 17 days and everything went perfectly! She responds quickly and sends pictures a made sure our boy was well taken care of while we were abroad. When we came home everything was clean and washed too! Highly recommend.”

Emily J.

“We could not have been happier with Terry as our sitter! She was great at sending updates every morning and our dog seemed to be very happy spending time with her. He is also extremely picky when it comes to new people but Terry was great with him! We were very nervous as this was the first time we left him with a sitter for an extended period of time but Terry did a wonderful job to ease our nerves. It's also a huge plus that she can work from home as well so your pet will get full time care with her. She also left the house spotlessly clean and in pristine condition and was kind enough to leave us with gifts as well! 5 stars all around and we highly recommend her!!!”

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 😂.

This includes following their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'll also provide videos or pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is well-cared for.

About: I have always worked with animals!, From things like working at animal shelters to actually raising a dog while being in college for over the last year for Guiding eyes for the blind! I have great experience with watching and training! I do some work with animals like dog sitting for guiding eyes but other than that I don’t have much else taking up my time, other than school I have a fenced yard and two lovely dogs who are very playful! And a family who is very loving towards dogs and supports me with their care! I also love animals just overall no matter what they are!

“What can I say about Christine? She was a godsend! After losing my beloved dog, I wanted to adopt another one after my family vacation. But when I saw my current puppy up for adoption, I immediately fell in love with him because he reminded me of my previous soul dog. I applied for adoption, and the shelter approved us. They allowed us to adopt my beloved Charlie if we could find a reliable dog sitter to watch him while I was away. I picked up Charlie just 2 days before my trip, and I was really worried about my brand-new, scared little puppy. But Christine went above and beyond with my baby. She stayed at my house with him the whole time, took great care of him, and gave him so much love. During my trip, she noticed he was coughing and even offered to take him to my vet — and she did. I highly recommend Christine to anyone looking for someone with the gift of caring and giving genuine love to your best friend :)”

About: I am here to take of your dog and to provide them the love they long when it’s vacation time for owners (or anytime you need to yourself). Provide exercise for dogs (usually in half-hour or one-hour increments). Pick up and dispose of dog droppings during walks. Check dogs' food and water supply to make sure basic needs are met after walks. I am very patient and show a lot of compassion towards dog. I just want them to feel at home away from home! I am also a very active person, so your dog will be able to have all of their fun they usually have or more when they are with me! I hope to walk your dog soon! Prices are non negotiable I am working from home currently. This will allow me to give your first baby all of the attention they desire. Please ask me any questions on any accommodations that we may be able to work out. I don’t have any pets of my own so if your fur baby isn’t fond of other pets they can feel secure being over my home. My I am close with my neighbors who do have friendly pets as well, so if your pet loves company, they can be easily accommodated. We also have a dog park walking distance from the complex
