“Claudia was absolutely fantastic! She sent frequent updates with pictures and was super caring. I could tell that she has a true passion for animals when I first met her. Everything worked out so easily that I had no cares leaving my dog behind. I will be using her again for sure. Thanks Claudia!!!!”
“Tariq was a fantastic Dog sitter and made sure Bella our Lab got lots of exercise and had plenty of fun while we were away. Photo and video updates were a great way to see her playing with other dogs and having lots of fun so we weren’t worried about her while we were away. We will definitely be using Tariq’s services again and do strongly recommend!”
“Sharmistha and her husband took wonderful overnight care of our beloved lab, Chessie. She made sure to obtain all the information needed from me, following her schedule and asking the questions all pet parents want to answer. We were grateful for her flexibility- we ended up picking Chessie up and hour earlier than we thought on our way back from a wedding and it was not an issue. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her and her dog. I would recommend her care and I will be booking again.”
“Adriene was a wonderful fill in Mama for our old boy Sam. She sent lots of pictures of his “vacation “ Sam had lots of smiles in his pictures with her dogs. Adrienes is a great fit for our old dog.”

“Lisa was fantastic! She clearly loves dogs. She took great care of our Pepper. She sent us daily text updates with pics. Pepper had a great time running around Lisa’s fenced in yard and playing with her Collies. We’ll definitely use Lisa’s services the next time we go out of town!”
“Everything went great. Ashley is communicative and took great care of our furbaby. She was able to handle a senior dog with medication administration. I feel that my dog was treated excellent with the added bonus of her having her own dog for mine to play with. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Wendy was amazing! We had to board our pup for the first time over MDW last minute and thankfully Wendy was available! She made us feel so assured that our boy would be taken care of and well loved during his stay. She kept us posted daily with pictures and videos which helped us rest easy while we were missing our little guy! I would absolutely recommend Wendy to any pet parents!”
“Yvonne was so nice and pleasant to work with. I do not like boarding or leaving my pup behind when I have to travel, but she made it a lot easier. She is honest and responsive and only wants the best for your fur friend. I hope to book with her in the future. Thank you so much Yvonne.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I love dogs so much and am excited to get to know yours. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. We aim to walk about two miles a day and would love for your pup to join us! Dogs are allowed on couches and on the bed here. I have experience with different types of needs - food motivation, diapers, medicine, etc. Let me know what your pet needs to feel at home! I work from home five days a week. My dogs need frequent care, so I can provide frequent care for yours as well! Dogs are embedded into my weekly routine. I have a (soon to be fenced in) yard that my dogs often explore. We have walking paths around the neighborhood we use just about every day! We have a spacious home and plenty of room for another friend :)
About: I have a deep love for all furbabies! I do well with any size dogs or cats! I enjoy playing with animals of all kinds ! I'm currently a SAHM of one, in Christiana, De. I have a completely open and flexible schedule. Open to driving within 15 miles of location. I am now open to offer in house care for any dogs/cats up to 2 at a time. I have no animals of my own anymore, but my son is very animal friendly.
“Bella took great care of Leo throughout our UD graduation weekend! Highly recommend this caring and competent sitter. Communication was fantastic and we loved getting regular updates about him and reassurance that everything was going well. Thank you, Bella!”
“Elisabeth was absolutely amazing! Leaving my Great Dane, Blueberry, for the weekend was so hard, but she made the entire experience so much easier for both of us. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell how much care and compassion she puts into what she does. She treated Blueberry like he was her own, which is no small task because he’s not the easiest dog to handle. Elisabeth kept me updated with the pictures and videos that made me feel continually comforted while I was missing him. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Blueberry’s happiness and comfort, which gave me so much peace of mind during my separation anxiety. What truly stood out was her extraordinary level of care. When Blueberry got up in the middle of the night, Elisabeth didn’t just leave him on his own—she went out to the couch and slept with him to make sure he felt secure. That thoughtful, empathetic gesture is more than I ever could have expected. I couldn’t be more grateful for Elisabeth and everything she did for Blueberry and me this weekend. She went above and beyond in every way, and I’m so excited for the chance to work with her again in the future. Thank you so much again Elisabeth!”
“What can I say, Miss Candice loves what she does. And it shows, It’s like home away from for my fur baby who all but jumps out the car window when we pull up for his stay. Thank goodness my window was up. Total opposite when pull up to the groomer.”
“5 stars! Rita went above and beyond for our 14 year old Louis. She is very reliable, responsive, gives good updates and is very caring with her animal guests. We will definititely ask for Rita again!!!”
“Super professional and kind; Barbra is one of very few people I trust with my dog. I especially appreciate the exercise, structure, and socialization that he receives in her care.”

Katie took great care of my 11 year old Rottweiler. She sent me pictures daily and provided an update on how she was doing. This is my first time getting a dog sitter and I felt completely at home with Katie. I will definitely be using her again. Her love for animals is evident.
I cannot recommend Addi enough! She excepted to board my Finley last minute and took SUCH good care of her. I got so many pictures of them on walks and of Finley playing with her ball. Finley came back home the next so happy and tired, I know she walked and played a lot with Addi. Will 100% book again!!
