About: I have taken care of neighbors’ and grandparents’ dogs as well as my own. I love dogs more than most people and would do anything to protect them and keep them happy. As a college student away from my fur babies at home, this fits perfectly into my schedule. I have a lot of time on my hands until I start grad school this summer! I will just be taking the fur babies for walks as I am in an apartment that unfortunately does not allow pups. I will use safe paths or neighborhoods as well as any parks or fields that allow us!

About: The first dog I've had i trained, walked, and took care of her on my own at a young age. Even when she wasn't mine. Im in school at the moment so I have a bunch of free time to check in and walk any dogs in need of attention! I cannot bring animals into my home but I will make sure to follow and rules given to me by the parent in their home.

About: I have taken care of neighbors pets since the age of 12. They have trusted me to care for their dogs, cats, bunnies, and lizards while they were away. I trained my family dog the basics of leave it, sit, stay, lay down, shake, and go to bed. She also takes daily medication, so I’m a pro at giving pills! I’m also good with nervous dogs and I am more than happy to give them the space/time they need. I am a full time student attending classes 3 days a week looking to walk and take care of pets in my free time. I am available bright and early at 6:30am and in the afternoons/evenings, around 3pm-5pm depending on my schedule, to walk or drop by and visit with your pet. I will ensure your pets upmost safety on walks by keeping a distance from other dogs and keeping them on leash. I will always make sure the gates are closed before letting your dog out and will monitor them while they are outside. I am happy to crate or lock up how you want. I will check in when doing services with updates and will send photos when requested. I like to stick to your pets routine how they are used to so please provide instructions for that!

“Julia was able to watch my pups last minute, super helpful!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 15, helping out my neighbors and those around my community at home. I’m no stranger to having to give dogs medicine as my direct Neighbor’s has two dogs who need pills and eye drops frequently. I love to go on walks or jogs if you’re animals up to it. Or even just playing in the backyard with a toy. I also love cats of all kinds as I’ve grown up with multiple alongside dogs, and I even have a cat of my own currently. I would love to help you and your furry friends out! I’m currently just focusing on school, and internships so I have a completely free day! I’m available anytime to help you and your pets needs. I have an open concept apartment, where I can see your pet from any angle I’m at. We have a dog park that I can go take your dog if he wants to be off leash, or I can walk him around the complex like many of my neighbors do. If you have a cat, I have two different cat trees in my apartment, and a cat who loves to play with others.

About: My experience is personal. Our family dog was aging and experiencing lose of bowels, not eating well and stiff limbs. I took special interest in her care until the end🐾 My calm demeanor is an asset in dealing with animals 🐾 I am usually busy with my own personal schedule after 4pm but I am also flexible if I am needed after 4pm. Advanced notice is appreciated. I have two dogs, a sheepadoddle and a shih tuz yorkie mix. I feed and walk them probably 4 times a day. Keep them clean (wipe them down after each walk) and make sure they have clean water.

“My cats seemed well taken care of when I got home and not too upset.”

Larissa P.

“Jenni was WONDERFUL! On her second visit she asked if she could bring her dog for a playdate with her boyfriend and she sent photos and videos of happy, tail wagging pups playing ball together! I'm going to hire Jenni to come more regularly, hopefully with her pup! I will definitely use her for boarding because now my guy will be right at home with them all!”

Gretchen K.

“Amazing service, constant updates, went above and beyond, we just needed someone to change our cats food, Jolene also played with our cat, spent enough time for him to trust her and pet him, before leaving. Stayed beyond the anticipated time with the cat. 6/5 stars would recommend again”

About: I am an experienced and enthusiastic dog walker. I have walked my own dog for years, and I also have experience working as a paid dog walker for my neighbors. I would love to help you give your dog a great mid-day walk! I am currently working part-time as a research assistant. I am hoping to use some of my extra time during the day to walk dogs! I would love to walk around your neighborhood, the Newark rail trail, or even hike with your dog in White Clay. I would love to help take care of your dog while you are away. I will give your dog lots of attention and many walks. I can provide you with photo updates of your dog while you are on vacation!

About: Hi! I’m Lilly, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior pet who just needs some extra TLC, I’m here to give them the attention, care, and love they deserve while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe and happy, and that’s why I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to send photo updates so you can stay connected. From daily walks to cuddle time and feeding routines, I’ve got it covered. I am currently working part time, usually during the evenings from 4-9:30/10 about four times a week. I have plenty of time during the mornings and afternoons and can also check in after work! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to make sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Whether we’re at home or out on a walk, I stay alert, follow any specific instructions you provide, and maintain a calm, positive environment. You can trust that your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal with patience, respect, and kindness, just like I would with my own. Communication is key, so I’m happy to provide regular updates to give you peace of mind.

About: Ever since I was about 15 I have pet sat. I took every advantage I could and took care of all types of animals. From dogs and cats to ferrets and birds. I love all animals. I worked for a private company for 2 years and now run my own business and want to get out there more. I provide services such as walks, baths, snuggles, and overnight visits for all types of pets. I take pride in my services and want to give all animals the love and attention they deserve when their family is away from home! I'm a student who works part-time. I have loads of free time and want to spend it with your pets. I enjoy walking dogs around campus. It'll give me something to do when not studying. Most clients have specific preferences for their pets. I always ask what is needed from me to provide the best care. I stick to what is asked and make sure to ask questions when needed. I provide photos for the family at all visits and a brief update. My pets all get food specific to their dietary needs at home and get to snuggle with me in bed. If clients prefer crate home, I can do that. It's whatever you do for your pets that I will do for them, so they feel comfortable.

About: I have been working at Villa la PAWS, located in Maple Shade, NJ for 3 years. As an Animal Science major, my devotion is to understand the proper care, love, and positive behavior that all animals need to thrive. While my passion lies with training and behavior of dogs and cats, I am quickly expanding my horizon, in college, to working with larger species such as cattle and equine. I am devoted to working with YOU and your pets' schedule, routine, and lifestyle. I define myself as being able to properly manage my time, communicating with any issues (or good news!), and making sure you and your pet feel safe and comfortable with me around. Currently, I am a Sophomore at the University of Delaware. I live here from August-December, and February-May. My schedule at the moment allows for me to have afternoons and nighttime open very freely. Welcome to my summer hours!! I am free all day Thursdays, Fridays and the weekend for whatever you may need :) I am only able to take care of your pet while in your home! I am more than happy to take them to any parks or per stores. With that being said, I pride myself on being able to communicate properly and efficiently to update you on your pet, your home, and when I enter and depart. I will follow the way you would treat your pet on a day-to-day basis. If they are not kid friendly, dog friendly, skittish, over-excited, that is OKAY! I will make sure that when I am with your pet, walking or sitting, that they feel comfortable and we avoid stressful situations by using positive reinforcement and distractions.
