About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a kid. I’ve been dog walking and house sitting since I was 10. I’ve walked all types of dogs from small to big. I’m also a pet owner myself and have been a proud dog owner for over 10 years. I’m currently working part time so my schedule is fully available for any of your needs. My dog is friendly with others and loves to play with others I have a yard where dogs can play and I also believe in taking dogs out to open spaces to allow them to get their energy out. There’s a big field behind my house where I love to take my dog to.
About: I spend a lot of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter! I have also had 2 German shepherds and 2 cats growing up. I currently work part time, and I don’t work every day. I can easily work around my work schedule to help out with your pups! I will care for your pet in your home. That would be the best for me and your pet! My home is not suitable for pets at the moment.
About: I've always grown up surrounded by dogs, whether that was in my own household or around family. On my way to be a veterinarian, I continuously care for my own dogs, my neighbors dogs and spend my time volunteering at an animal shelter nearby, Father Johns, and ensure the health and safety of all ages of dogs. I am super excited to continue dog walking and care for your pets needs! Currently I am full time student at the University of Delaware, and am returning back in August. Until then, I am available all day, every day with restrictions on some days when I am waitressing, but other than that, I am excited to play and care for your pet and their needs! Throughout my life, I've had years of experience with large dogs, senior dogs, puppies, etc. I have also had experience with many different behaviors of dogs and understand it can be hard to meet a fresh face. I will carefully comfort your pet, and introduce myself in a calm manner to ensure the safety of your pet and myself, so your pet can have a fun, relaxing time!
“Christine kept us informed daily and we came home to happy kitties!”
About: I’ve been caring for both cats and dogs ever since I was 14 years old! I have a 17 year old pitbull, 3 cats, and a foster cat I care and love for at home!! I would love to spend time taking care of your pets!! I have flexible scheduling all year round!! Feel free to contact me about scheduling preferences and I'll do my best to find time for your pets! My home will not be available for pet sitting. However, I'd be happy to visit your home or preferred location to care and look after your pets.
About: I'm Rai (he/him)! I am a proud cat dad to Luca -- he is my whole world. I will treat your pets like my own, send you picture updates, play with them, sing them little songs, and accommodate their needs! I'm the go-to pet sitter for my friends & family and would love to be your go-to person as well :) I'm currently working part-time and freelancing, so my schedule is flexible! I typically have a lot of availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays and in the evenings. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, medications, or playtime. I respect your home and your pet’s routines, including any rules about where they’re allowed to be. I’ve got experience with my own cat, Luca, who used to love jumping on tables—so I understand how to gently reinforce boundaries and make sure your pets are safe and comfortable while you're away.
“Lindsey was fantastic - responsible, reliable and communicative. You couldn't ask for more in someone helping care for you pet or be in your home. I'd be lucky to have her back anytime.”
“Mike was great, friendly and easy to setup with - highly recommend”
“When you leave your pets you want to know they are in the best hands possible and that’s how I felt with Alex! Nora was thrilled with every single visit and I was so happy with the daily pictures!

About: I've grown up with dogs of all sizes—from tiny dachshunds to big shepherds—so I’m confident caring for pups with all kinds of personalities. As an avid hiker, I love staying active and always bring a four-legged friend along for the adventure. Whether it’s a slow stroll or a high-energy outing, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and exercised. 🐶⛰️ I work full time but start early, so I’m free by mid-afternoon—and I’d love to spend that time working with dogs. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and have a natural comfort around them. Whether it’s a quick walk or some extra playtime, I’ll make sure your pup is well cared for and happy! When caring for someone else’s dog, I’m always cautious and respectful—because I know I’m being trusted with a very important part of their life. I never take that lightly. I use a bright, high-visibility leash and always keep a secure handheld grip to ensure your dog’s safety. I stay fully present on every walk or home visit, constantly observing your dog’s behavior to make sure they’re comfortable, not overwhelmed, and enjoying their time. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority.
“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”

I love playing with animals and making sure they are taken care of. I spend a lot of time with my dog at home. I have a fenced backyard and one friendly dog if needed to be sat at my house.

Rai D.
“I have never been away from my dog, Bubba, for more than 3 hours and when I met Raisa through a friend, it was like all of my worries were lifted off my shoulders. Raisa took care of Bubba for a 3 whole consecutive days until I came home for bedtime. She walked him three times a day, fed them, played with him (sometimes at dog parks), and kept up with his in-home potty training. It was a lot of responsibility for someone’s first time with my dog and she did an amazing job.”
