Dog Sitting Leland

About: Hi! I’m Ally, and I’ve always had such a big love for animals! I previously worked at Dogtopia, a dog daycare, where I spent my days caring for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I was responsible for supervising playgroups, making sure everyone was safe, and giving each dog the attention and care they needed. That experience taught me so much about working with different dogs and understanding their behaviors. I also had to take a course to know learn behaviors and when to read their responses, as well as when to know when they are all types of sick or injuries. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will always treat your pets like they’re my own! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone, and I would love to be someone you can trust to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a college student here in Wilmington and also play soccer! My schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes and practices i have morning practice that ends at 9 and then only one in person class on mondays. So I have time throughout the week and on weekends to care for your pets. I love spending time with animals and would be more than happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules! I’ll always make sure your pets get the time, love, and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority! With my previous experience working at Dogtopia, I’ve learned how important it is to understand each dog’s personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll always respect your space and follow any routines or instructions you have for them. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of! I also love sending pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are happy and safe while you’re away!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a passion for providing exceptional care to dogs and cats. As the owner of several dogs, I know firsthand that pets are family, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and needs, including puppies, senior pets, administering medications, and households with multiple pets. Whether your pet needs extra patience, a consistent routine, or plenty of playtime and cuddles, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, flexible, and take pride in providing reliable care you can trust. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your furry family member is receiving personalized attention and compassionate care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and making them feel right at home! My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets. I enjoy providing consistent care, attention, and companionship so your pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I believe trust starts with knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. With experience caring for multiple pets and volunteering at my local SPCA in the past, senior animals, and pets needing medications, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and following each pet’s unique routine. I provide a loving, supervised environment where pets can feel secure, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

“Ruth was wonderful! She took great care of our three fur-babies! The animals loved her- she fed, played, and loved them like they were hers. Ruth texted when she was concerned with anything and sent daily pictures- capturing some of the best pics of our babies :). We will totally use her again for any trip we have coming up— even if it is overnight.”

About: I’m an active, outdoorsy animal lover with years of firsthand experience caring for dogs, including six years with two large dogs of my own. I’ve also lived with and helped care for my parents’ dogs and, more recently, two large dogs in a previous household. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large and giant breeds, as well as puppies. I’m also insured and bonded. To me, pet care is about much more than feeding and walking. I want your pet to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Having had dogs of my own, I understand how much trust it takes to leave an animal you love in someone else’s hands. I enjoy following each pet’s normal routine closely and giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they’re used to. I’ll care for your pet with the same thoughtfulness and love I would want for my own. I work full-time Monday through Friday, so weekday pet care fits around my work schedule. I usually need to be at work by 8:00 AM and am off by 5-5:15 PM. My ability to get away during lunch varies and is not guaranteed. My overnight shows as unavailable Tuesdays — however, Tuesday may be possible depending on my work schedule. Please message me if you’re interested and I’ll be happy to see if I can make it work. For drop-in visits and dog walks, my profile lists availability for up to two visits per day. On weekends, I can often accommodate more than two visits or walks per day. On weekdays, visits and walks are available after work, with evening appointments beginning by 6:00 PM. My schedule can vary, so if the timing you need doesn’t appear to match my listed availability, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to check my schedule and see what’s possible. My weekends are especially flexible, giving me more availability for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays without the weekday workday constraints. I’m also happy to consider last-minute bookings when my schedule allows. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions closely so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I enjoy spending time with pets and making sure their needs are fully met, whether that means walks, meals, playtime, crate time, or letting your dog out in the yard as needed. I’ll spend time outside with them rather than simply opening the door and leaving them alone. If your pet is allowed on furniture or sleeps in a certain spot, I’m happy to follow the same household rules you use. My goal is to keep things familiar, safe, and low-stress while giving your pet plenty of attention and companionship. In addition to following your pet’s routine and safety instructions closely, I carry independent pet-care liability insurance and bonding for added peace of mind.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 8 years old for family, friends, and neighbors. I love both dogs and cats and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I treat every animal like my own, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, and dependable care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of availability for dog walking, drop-in visits, and daytime pet sitting. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and Tuesdays from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure your pets stay happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their usual routine to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. During drop-in visits, I’ll provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. For dog walks, I make sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and suited to your dog’s energy level. I’ll also send photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Milena was wonderful with my three big dogs! I loved the daily pictures while I was away and felt very comfortable and confident that they were getting the best treatment. I will definitely use her again!”

There is a fenced area in the back of our house, and a big open area. I can take them out on a leash if needed or crate them if they’re not house trained.

As a full time student I have a very open schedule with asynchronous classes that allow me to be there when your fur baby requires. I make sure to keep my pets on a regular schedule with grooming, food, vet visits and play sessions so they may have the best experiences as they grow and develope.

About: I have my own 8 year old Maltipoo. I have also watched my friends dogs when they would go out of town for vacation due to my flexible schedule. I work remote and I am working on my bachelors degree online so my schedule is rather flexible. Differs from semester to semester though so I will adjust once the spring semester starts. I typically go to the clients home since the dog is more comfortable in their own environment. That option has always worked out the best in the past.
