Dog Walkers in New Castle, DE

About: [I am accepting new clients in the New Castle area starting April 1st] Dogs have always been a part of my life in my personal and professional life. I worked for a small business in VA for about 5 years throughout high school and college and have started back up since I started my own Graphic Design business! I've cared for dogs (reptiles and other exotic pets as well) of many different breeds and personalities throughout the years and have always loved every minute! I run my own graphic design business so I can always make time for the your pet. I can drop by in the morning, midday, and night. I can start as early as 8am and as late as 10pm (unless specified as an overnight). If you are looking for an overnight service, please be aware that I will be away for your home for 3-4 hours at a time to fulfill other routine walks and my work. Visits will always have play time and enough walk time for sufficient exercise. I always make sure to give a lot of attention and make them comfortable even though you're away and will stick as close to your normal routine as I can! In the summer, I'm careful about temperatures especially if they walk in the street and take special care of cold climate breeds.

“Courtney is the best! She was available to walk my dog last minute and even stopped by for a meet and greet. Great communication. She took him to the park, which he loves. I felt like he was in good hands especially with her background as a vet tech. Thank you!”

About: Hi there! My name is Brianna, and I’ve worked as a kennel assistant, caring for animals of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m skilled in nail trims, medication administration, and insulin injections, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience working with dogs, cats, and exotic animals — from reptiles to small mammals and birds — and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I am working a full time job- but have plenty of time in the afternoons! Pet care is a big part of my daily life. I’m used to following feeding, walking, and medication schedules from my experience as a kennel assistant, so caring for animals fits naturally into my routine. I make time each day to check in on pets, go for walks, and give them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s early-morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime, I always make sure animals stay on their normal schedule. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like extra work to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day When I care for pets, I focus on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I always follow their normal routines — from walks and feedings to playtime and cuddles — so they feel right at home. In a client’s home, I treat your space and pets with the same care I give my own. I can also handle nail trims, medication, and insulin when needed, and I make sure every animal gets plenty of love and attention. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or exotic pets, I do my best to make sure they feel calm, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have never not had a dog in my home ! I have experience taking care of my own senior dog (who now lives with my parents), as well as taking care of puppies, adult dogs, and everything in between. I have years of dogsitting experience, and they are just my absolute favorite thing in the world. I have recently graduated from college and am looking to petsit while adjusting back to being in Delaware! I have very open availability at this time. Because I live in a small living space with two of my own pets, I would prefer to care for your pets in your home! If this is not possible, that’s totally ok, I just want to make sure your pets have as much space to relax and play as possible.

About: Before 2021: I've been pet sitting/walking for friends/neighbors for 5 years & on certain occasions I've been a dog/cat boarder for them, but I've been a dog walker for 5.5 years. 2 of the recurring dogs that I pet sit has had health issues, so I'm able to follow strict instructions given by the owners to take care of their pets in the best way possible whether it's just for a walk or pet sitting. UPDATE JULY 2025: Sorry to any specific owners but unless you are one of the 4 clients I've had since age 20, I will NOT be pet sitting/dropping in on CERTAIN snakes and ALL spiders. My soul will leave my body. The only reason why that is, is because I have a good rapport with the 4 clients and known some of their snakes since they were either in an egg or as a baby so I know their temperament . I'm okay with other reptiles, certain snakes, & pet birds. Some examples are Bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, Iguanas, African Egg-Eating Snake, Western Hognose, Children’s python, Kenyan sand and Rosy boa. DM for list since there's a caption limit. UPDATE JULY 2025: Depending on my boss I work from Mon-Wed 11pm-7/7:30am, Fri-Sun 6pm-2am, off days maybe Tuesday (after 7:30am), Thursday & sometimes Friday. I will communicate if I happen to work a double or if I'm late since I have to rely on other coworkers to relieve me from my shift. Due to work I will not be petting sitting pets that can't stay alone for more 4-6hrs anymore. But if you need drop-ins for your pets medicine time especially for some of my older clients on all the apps I've been on I remember I will gladly do that when I have time. This is mostly for the cats and small dogs I might be open for boarding. I do own two cats they are up to date with their shots. I know how they react to other cats since I had them for a year, but as for dogs I'm not too sure until I get my own dog. Also, for the most part my yard is fenced is just one side of the fence has not been fully fixed yet so when we are outside in the yard they will be on harnesses for the cats and dogs since I will be outside with them. I also have a an in ground pool that's covered. Also, there's a mix of stray and outdoor cats in my neighborhood and for some, they like to hang out in my front and backyard (they do get in from the broken side of the fence). Mainly for shelter underneath my porch since it's elevated and hides them from this ungodly heat. Plus it doesn't help that me, my dad and my neighbors, do occasionally feed them if we notice that they get too skinny and one of other neighbors bought one of those insulated and heated shelters for the cats to stay in during the winter last year. Fun fact that's how I ended up with my 2nd cat as pet.

About: I’ve been taking care of my families pets for all my life. I have been raising my own animals for years and am a staunch animal lover. I’m currently a student, and am looking for some extra work on the side. I am available weekends evenings and afternoons. My schedule can be flexible. I have a very sweet and friendly dog, she goes on at least 2 walks a day so long as it’s not raining or snowing (her choice). She goes on runs in the nearby park a few times a week. I have a crate available but she rarely needs crating as she is very well behaved.

“you are making my life so much easier if I hit the lottery I'd have you here every day”

“Alex is amazing! She’s super caring and the best walker we could ask for. From the first walk, she’s been so patient, especially with one of our dogs who’s a bit shy. Alex goes above and beyond, always making sure they’re comfortable and safe, and you can tell she genuinely loves spending time with them. Our dogs are always excited when she shows up and come back happy and relaxed. If you want someone who treats your pets like her own, Alex is the one!”

“Joseph has been walking our Great Dane for months now (which is a big deal as she grows). He is consistent, punctual, loving and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!”

“Once again Jeremein did not disappoint and came to me and Cinnamon Rescue at last minute notice I had hurt my knee today and couldn’t take her on her evening walk so I got in touch with Jeremein to see if he was available and he was for the time that I needed my fur baby to take her potty break. Jeremein was efficient and professional as always he always gives great service with a smile. Cinnamon lights up every time she sees him and goes right out the door with her buddy and I don’t have a worry in the world for she is in excellent hands . See you soon Jeremein and thank again.”
