We can't even begin to describe how amazing Jacqueline took care of our dog while staying at her house! She kept us constantly updated with photos and comments, something that put our minds totally at ease while attending a wedding out of town. She has a beautiful dog of her own and treated our dog as if he, too, was family. Her love for animals is quite apparent. Our boy just absolutely loved her entire family and I know that he will be excited to spend more time with them!

Lizzie was amazing! She kept us up to date on Cashew for the entire time we were away, sending us photos and asking questions when she needed to clarify some of our crazy, attitude-filled Corgi's actions. We will definitely be requesting her services again!

Julie went above and beyond caring for our fur babies and our home. Even took care of a fridge leak for us. Julie kept us updated on our babies throughout the week. We will definitely request Julie in the future.

Besides that I’m available and flexible almost always! I have had two senior cats for 3+ years that I adopted and they tend to be a bit spoiled. They enjoy walks outside in their cat stroller and constant attention and play.

Ryan was so attentive, patient and handled an emergency situation with ease. When our 4 year old Labrador got sick, Ryan was the best at communicating, confirming he could handle the situation and managed to put us all at ease. Highly recommend him. We were grateful for his professionalism.

About: I absolutely love animals- both my own and other families pets! I moved to Lewes a few years ago from New Jersey and love being active outside and by the beach. My family and I adopted a dog a few years ago and she has brought so much joy to our family. I am very flexible with my daily schedule and around on most weekends and holidays. I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings as well as overnights. I am good with medications and open to any specific needs your pet might have. My cat and dog both have kidney disease, so I have great experience with both oral and injectable medications.

About: Pets have been such a major part of my life. I grew up with dogs and cats all my life and love spending time with all animals. I enjoy taking the dogs for walk and enjoying the fresh air. Loving and caring for animals is a part of my life and something i enjoy doing. I care for animals as if they were my own and will do what is needed to make sure you pets are taken great care of. I want to make sure i meet all of your expectations and make sure you and your pets are happy. I strive to build bonds with the animals and understand the pets as best as i can. I can’t wait to meet your pets and spend time with them. I currently am a full time assistant manager in Rehoboth beach, but i can always make time to walk or play with any pet I’m watching. I live in an apartment building, so i don’t have any fenced in areas but there is plenty of room too pls and walk. There are also dog friendly parks in the area

Sharon was so great! We last minute realized our normal sitters weren’t available and we reached out, she was able to come the morning we had to head out and met the pups! Extremely flexible and just a super nice person. We got pics of our pups and she responded timely any time we reached out! Will definitely use her again!!
