Not only do I love Rover, I loved having Rachel take care of my boys while I am out of town. She is kind, loving, and the cats love her! I'll be using her again to put my mind at ease while I'm away.

Beth was amazing with our kitties! She went above and beyond to make sure they both were both fed and comfortable. I'm very grateful for her help and will certainly reach out to her in the future!

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and got my first dog at 10 years old. Caring for him taught me responsibility, patience, and the deep bond we share with our pets. I have over 8 years of experience caring for senior dogs and 5+ years providing dog sitting services for private clients. Many families trust me repeatedly with their pets because I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs — from playful pups who love walks and attention to more relaxed dogs who just want companionship and cuddles. Small and medium dogs have mostly been under my care and only some larger breeds. My goal is always to keep your dog happy, safe, and stress-free while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I understand how important consistency is, especially for senior dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I know peace of mind matters when you’re away. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help. Creating a calm, loving environment is very important to me, and I want both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home on my own time so I am available pretty much daily unless I have other clients in my schedule. Requests in advance are very much appreciated. Services in your home will be as the owner requests. I aim to please you and your pet! I live in a tiny home so overnight and day cares are limited but I do have a small fenced in yard.

About: I have volunteered at the SPCA for three years, taking care of small dogs, large dogs, and even cats. I even take care of people's pets in my neighborhood. Currently fitting pet care into my daily routine is no problem at all. I am a part time college student but I don't go back until the winter. I stay at home full time so I will be able to spend all day with your pet. As far as pets go, I have a very friendly lab mix named Kaya and a cat named Snickers. I also have two leopard geckos named Mushu and Yoshi. Kaya is fed twice a day, morning and evening. And Snickers is a grazer so he eats whenever he wants. I have a fenced in yard which Kaya adores. Whenever other dogs come over I let them out into the yard so they can run around and play. The yard is about half an acre and the fence is 4 and a half feet tall.

Jennifer was a dream sitter. My cats were well looked after. She even messaged me to see if there were any interactive toys she could play with! My cats have a difficult medication schedule, and she followed my instructions like a pro! Very happy to recommend Jennifer!

About: I have 2 dogs and a cat. My dogs are Angus (an 11 year old Bugg (pug/boston terrier mix) and Archie (a 5 year old Boston Terrier). I also have a 14 1/2 year old cat named George who I rescued about a year and a half ago. He was an outdoor cat for his entire life, but I've turned him into a spoiled indoor cat. No one thought I could do it, but here we are. I've worked with a couple of rescues over the years and have fostered many dogs and cats. In addition to fostering, my rescue work also included coordinating, conducting and meeting rescue transports, administering meds to animals that were transported into the rescue and handling adoptions and home visits, care for kittens and puppies and elderly animals. I have had at least one dog in my life for just about my entire life. Cats came later in life when I had my kids because when I was a child myself, I wasn't allowed to have a cat. Over the years, I've learned about as much about cats as I know about dogs. My animals are well loved and cared for and I am very good at building new relationships with dogs and cats - meeting them where they are and working with them based on their individual cues and needs, not human expectations. Although I have no formal training, I have years of experience that has benefited me with extremely well behaved and happy animals. Before moving to Delaware, I was the unofficial dog/cat sitter for my neighborhood. I decided then that I would like to at least start doing this professionally on a part time basis. Now that I've been here for a little more than a year, the time is right for me to start. First with daily check ins and walks. Perhaps overnights with pets in my home on on a case by case basis since I have my own fur babies here. Your pets would be in great hands with me. I work full time from home and can do occasional walks and check in's during my work day. I have more availability after work and on the weekends. I walk my own dogs in the mornings, but I can check in on yours as needed. Either a visit to feed and play for a bit or for a quick walk. Overnight stays at my home for your dogs is a possibility on a case by case basis.

Sabrina was wonderful! We had to make a very last minute request to feed our kitties and Sabrina came to the rescue. Our senior kitty is very shy and often won't come out or even eat for people she's not familiar with, but she did for Sabrina! We were also provided with numerous photos, updates, and a very detailed write up of the visit. We will certainly be reaching out when we need services in the future!

About: I have several years of experience working with animals through that it’s always my main goal to treat the pet the exact same way you would. I am more than familiar with all breeds, temperaments, and needs. I am also available to the care of kitties. During all services, I will take and send plenty of photos of my beloved guest. Your fur babies will be beyond happy little tail waggers with me. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Please feel free to contact me about scheduling. I have a pretty open and available schedule. I am also able to accommodate pretty well around other things if need be. We just moved into a new home and will be without a fence for two weeks. During the interim, I can leash walk in our dog friendly neighborhood. It is top priority for us to have our fence secure and ready as quickly as possible.

Jermaine went out of his way to make sure our dogs were well taken care of while we were gone. He was on time every day and sent pictures on a daily basis. He came to the house the day before to see the dogs and go over feeding and meds and even cleaned the kennel area in the house garage before we got back. We look forward to having him back in the future.

About: I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when it comes to caring for their pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime, to senior pets who need patience, medication, and a gentle touch. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable presence and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, quirks, and comfort needs so they feel safe and loved in my care. I’m comfortable with leash training, administering oral medications, and I never miss a belly rub opportunity! I’m an avid animal lover of all kinds! I’ve spent time caring for everything from dogs and cats to reptiles and other exotic pets. My love for the natural world extends beyond animals, too; I’m passionate about protecting the environment and feel most at home near the ocean. That connection to nature inspires me to create meaningful, enriching experiences for the pets I care for, including fun outdoor adventure walks whenever possible. Whether your pet is shy, excitable, scaly, or furry, I meet them where they are and treat them like family. I’m currently working part-time down at the beaches until 2 pm, so I’m available for pet care in the afternoons and evenings during the week, especially in that area. I’m happy to do drop-ins, walks, or sitting depending on your pet’s needs. I’m also available to board pets every other weekend, depending on my second job schedule, and I’m always willing to work with you to find a time that works for both of us. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I genuinely love it, it’s something I look forward to each day! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel secure and well-loved while you're away. At my home, your pet will have a clean, calm space to relax, a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and the companionship of my friendly 2-year-old dog who loves having a playmate. If your dog prefers downtime or needs structure, I can easily crate them upon request. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and do my best to maintain a calm, consistent environment for your pet. Whether it’s long walks, feeding, administering medication, or just some snuggle time, I make sure they’re getting attentive, personalized care. As someone who deeply loves animals and the outdoors, I also try to bring that connection to nature into every pet’s day, through enrichment, outdoor walks, or just peaceful time in the yard.
