About: Hi, I’m Jenning — your dog’s new favorite human 🐾✨ I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years — from bouncy puppies to sweet seniors and everything in between. I’m that person who stops mid-conversation to greet a dog on the street, no shame. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some TLC while you’re away, or just a familiar face to help ease separation anxiety, I’m your girl. I live in a beautiful, pet-friendly apartment in Wilmington, DE with my own sweet dog (a total angel), and I treat every dog that comes into my space like family. Think cozy vibes, lots of affection, and a whole lot of tail wags. I work from home most days, so I’m fully present for the pups in my care. I’m also big on structure and communication — you’ll get regular updates, pics, and total peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, loved, and thriving.I’ve handled all types of breeds, temperaments, and special needs. High-energy? Let’s run it out. Shy and sensitive? I’ll sit with them until they’re ready. I’m here to make sure your dog feels at home, even when you’re not. Let’s get your pup on my calendar. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and love they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or winding down with evening cuddles, I build my day around the dogs in my care. I’m super intentional about keeping a calm, structured, and loving environment — so your pet’s routine becomes part of mine, seamlessly. Whether a dog is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I always prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment. In my home, dogs have designated cozy spaces to relax, constant supervision, and absolutely zero access to anything that could put them at risk. I keep my place tidy, dog-friendly, and peaceful — no chaos, just good energy and tail wags. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat the space with deep respect and follow every instruction to the letter — feeding, crate time, meds, routines — all of it. I always check gates, doors, and anything else that could affect a pet’s safety. I believe in clear communication, gentle leadership, and building trust through consistency and affection. Every dog is different, and I take the time to understand their needs so they feel secure, seen, and fully cared for — wherever they are

“When I say Ms. Rita is an ALL STAR sitter, I’m talking about a true professional. I don’t even LIVE in Delaware, but I attended my brother’s wedding there, and she literally SAVED MY LIFE at the last moment, and babysat my pup BLUE at the last minute! I reached out to her at 7:30 in the morning, for an afternoon drop off, and not only did she reply almost immediately to confirm some details, she accepted the booking! Ms. Rita is just as DELIGHTFUL, WARM, KIND, PROFESSIONAL, CARING, and OVERALL AMAZING as she may appear on this profile. I have never left my dog anywhere except for his groomer, and I was PLEASANTLY shocked at how well my dog took to her and her FABULOUS dog, and the other dog that she was watching. Not only did she send me photo updates, she was so highly communicative the entire time before during and even after…. I mean…. I made my brother’s wedding, and didn’t have to worry about my dog and his accommodations (dogs weren’t showered unfortunately) because I was so grateful for and confident in the care being provided by Ms. Rita. Folks… don’t overwhelm her with bookings… but definitely look no further !!!! She is phenomenal, and I wish I lived in Delaware now just so that I can bring my fur baby here more often! I can only hope to find someone like her in NY. Thank you again!!!!! She is simply the best! I feel like she treated my dog like her very own ??? Great sitter.”


“We booked Shanisa last minute to watch our two dogs, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled. We had a meet-and-greet before, and she was clearly very kind and engaged with the dogs. She had an array of toys and harnesses and came extremely prepared. She sent us video and photo updates to put us at ease. Our dogs had a blast, and we just wish she was in every city we visited!”


About: I have worked at a boarding facility in an animal hospital for almost 3 years. I also have some experience working with vet techs and doctors. I made the decision to leave my job as a boarding technician to focus solely on my veterinary technology online classes. I know the care, love, dedication, patience and preparedness it takes to care for your babies. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and breeds. I’ve also cared for exotics which includes birds, small mammals, reptiles, etc. I also had a dog of my own which I had for 13 years and she was the love of my life. She was special needs, with a brain disease, dementia which caused behavioral issues, and in the last year of her life she suffered from a tumor and was constantly bleeding so I have a lot of experience with caring after a high maintenance pet, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I can confidently say animal caretaking is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done in my life. I left my full time job so I could focus on my online classes so my schedule is super flexible. I have no problem with getting up super early in the morning or being up super late at night. Working at an animal hospital full time for years hours can be very long and shifts start super early so I’m very disciplined when it comes to being on time. I have a big home and live near lots of parks and walkways where we can walk. I have spare pet beds, treats and toys in my home as well. The door to outside remains closed at all times. I will only take a dog outside if they are on leash. I will keep an eye on baby at all times.

“Courtney was great with our dog! We needed to find a sitter last minute and she was happy to help out. She was quick to respond to everything, provided updates throughout the day, and kept our dog in great care. Would highly recommend!”


“This was my first time leaving my dog so I was nervous, but my dog warmed up to Cecilia right away! It’s a great home for dogs with plenty of space. When I picked my dog up she was tired, calm, and so happy! Great experience:)”


About: I provide loving, personalized care for all pets. I’m experienced caring for puppies and senior pets, including giving medication and extra support. Your pet will feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure to spend quality time feeding, walking, playing, and monitoring each pet’s health every day. I also keep a consistent schedule to help pets feel comfortable and secure. On a weekly basis, I update owners with reports and adjust care as needed to meet each pet’s unique needs. At my home, where I live in an apartment with my friendly dog, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable space for pets to relax and play. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to keep them happy and stress-free. For clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, maintaining their pet’s usual schedule and environment to minimize disruption. In both settings, I provide lots of attention, affection, and monitor their health to ensure they’re feeling their best.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets and animals from a young age. I appreciate and love animal life in all shapes and sizes. I’d love to care for your furry friend while you’re away! I currently work from home, so I am able to attend to your pets every need throughout the day. I’m also able to accommodate special requests. I am an early riser and enjoy taking the pets for walks early in the morning, and in the evening. My yard is treated naturally in the warmer months to keep fleas and ticks away, I also utilize a pet waste removal service to ensure my outdoor space is as safe and clean as it can be to accommodate my pet guests.

“Pablo seemed to have a good time getting along with other pets in her care. Although he must have played rough or hurt himself when playing but came back with a bruise on his mouth. I was also told Pablo didn’t like eating his meal which is unusual since he didn’t have this issue anywhere else. Overall a good experience! Zay was responsive and helped accommodating him on short notice.”


About: Use my code ALYSAM54127 for $20 off your first booking! Hi, I'm Alysa! I have three rescued dogs of my own. All three are pitbull mixes. I have grown up always having a family dog, sitting the neighborhood dogs, and volunteering at rescues. These days I still spend most weekends at town and country humane society volunteering. I can do it all from walks, to baths, to drop ins, house sitting, to even working with your dog on any "issues." I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. When my own dogs need a sitter, I am very particular that they will be in good hands. Let me be that person for you! I will treat your pet as my own and spoil them how I spoil my own! Please reach out! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I require a meet and greet do discuss your expectations, in order to make sure we are a good fit! I have a fully fenced in yard. I have crates and plenty of space! I have lots of toys and I live close to a park if your dog likes to explore on leash!

About: Growing up on a farm I was always caring for animals. Since I could walk I was around horses, pigs, goats, dogs, cats, birds and more! I loved every minute of it but then grew up and went away to school. I currently have 3 dogs of my own but I am comfortable with any animals. I have also taken care of puppies to senior dogs who could not walk and/or see. Pet care for me is a daily part of my schedule as I start and end my day taking care of my own pups. I love caring and spending time with them even more than people most of the time. I would love to add yours into the mix whether they come to hang at my home or I drop in to visit, walk, feed. Whatever is needed. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs. I would also offer services in your own home from stopping to let them out to use the bathroom to walks, playtime, feeding. There is no request too small. I can also offer to provide meds if needed. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!!

“Kaycie is awesome!! I was so nervous to leave Simba with someone new after a horrible experience at a big name doggie daycare but I’m so glad we chose her! Simba had a blast and we can’t wait to bring him back for more fun!”



“Carol is amazing with my dogs, they felt comfortable with her as soon as they met her. You can definitely tell she is an animal lover, and will take very good care of your pets! I will be using her again!”

She helped so much with my anxiety about leaving Cora by sending me frequent updates & making sure Cora got plenty of play time & attention. I would highly recommend Claudia, we love her!”
