Dog Sitting in Newark

About: Hi! My family has always had dogs for as long as I can remember. From puppies madness to senior sunsets, I’ve loved every stage that comes with having pets. During summers I’ve provided in house care for neighbors pets allowing them a “vacation” from staying home all day. I would be more than happy to get to know your pet as well as yourself ! I am currently a graduate students at UD only taking classes 2 days a week. I am quite flexible with hours and more than happy to include daily walks and visits into my routine! Having had pets myself, I pride myself for caring for others as if they are my own. I am willing to do whatever I can to ensure a comfortable experience for both pets and owners!

About: I’ve always been good with animals. My family has been raising dogs since I was a little kid and I really love all our pets. I work part time, usually in the afternoons/night. This would be something good for me to do during the day to keep working and staying busy. I have been walking my dogs and taking care of them since I was 9. I’ve always been responsible for cleaning up after them and keeping them safe. I’d do the same for any dog I’d walk or let out.

About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.

About: I have helped care for my family’s dogs and cats since I was a little girl, and my love of animals has grown deeper into my adulthood. I have experience training puppies basic obedience commands, and I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I am excited for the opportunity to care for your family’s pets! I am a full-time special education teacher, so I am available and ready to play with and assist your pets in the evenings on weekdays and any time on weekends. You can count on me to create a caring, positive environment for your pet. I am comfortable and willing to provide your pet with food and water, exercise/walking, cuddles, playtime, and more! I am happy to fulfill all of your requests when it comes to caring for your pet.

“Arrived promptly on schedule and spent quality time with our two dogs. Sent pictures each time. Will certainly use Lisa’s service again and would recommend her for those looking for a compassionate animal caregiver.”

“Yareli is a responsible, pleasant, kind and caring pet sitter. I felt comfortable giving her access to my home while I was away and entrusting her with the care of my kitties. Her rates are reasonable and I would use her services again!!”

“Campbell was extremely professional. We have a new puppy, and she took the time to play with him and let him out. She was on time and followed every direction we left. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

Olivia W.

“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: Grew up with a very small dog but my family used to dog-sit and walk dogs for my neighbors with all kinds of dogs! We trained our dog and I know a good amount about owning/taking care of dogs and puppies from past experience. I am currently a full time college student so I’m pretty flexible! I’m pretty available in the morning, nights and sporadically during the day. I walk my dog twice a day for 20 minutes minimum given that she is a small pup and I'm ready to accommodate to any pups needs. I make sure to train her with training treats to keep mental stimulation up! I am also very attentive to make sure she’s always comfortable and safe!

About: I grew up taking care of animals small and large and different species! I’m also a certified animal groomer and i am a huge animal lover! I’m currently working part time at a grocery store but i have a very flexible schedule and will always make time to see any animals! I always like to send photos or videos of the pets i’m taking care of so their mom or dad feels more comfortable seeing that their pup is having a great time!

About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember and I’ve never had any issues with any dogs. I’ve had a boxer, pitbull mix, and husky throughout my life I’m a student athlete but I do not have a job while I am at school. I have plenty of time to care and watch over animals throughout the week and on weekends! I have a cat with me at school and a dog and cats at home so I have lots of experience and eager to meet and watch your pet!

“Destiny is AMAZING! After having to cancel a horrible dog sitter she immediately stepped up to help. My dog absolutely loves her! She is a 10/10 and will always try to book with her first!”

About: I have had three dogs for the past 4 years and I have lots of experience taking care of other people’s dogs. I have most experience with small and medium size dogs. I have extremely flexible hours, and I’m willing to take care of your animal any day of the week! I have three pets of my own and understand the time and care that needs to go into pet sitting. I will care for your pets in your home exactly how you would like me to care for them per your instructions and expectations! :)

“Alison was great with communication during her visit! She even had intuition to stay a little longer to bring her out a second time after she ate, knowing she would likely poop! And she did! Thank you Alison, can’t wait for next time!”

About: I will show your pets unconditional love as they would show me. I absolutely love pets and want them to all be treated right. Yup i’m currently a junior at the university of DE, I live in a house with 2 other men who love dogs as well. I am able to sit on nights or weekends if needed. I have a fenced yard at school, but back at home we have 2 australian sheppards who are the best of boys, we walk them daily and make sure they’re fed and well rested .

About: With three dogs of my own as well as working at Tanner's Pet Resort in NJ as well as Playtime Doggie Daycare in Delaware has given me experience with just about any type of breed and temperament! Though I am in class, most of my classes are either available online or optional. I would be able to spend lots of time home and out with the pup! At home I don't have to worry because of my fenced-in yard but here I would make sure leash is on at all times because of the limited fencing!

“Leonora went above and beyond! brought my packages inside, and the house was spotless when I returned. She stopped by once a day (for seven days) to check on my three cats, and was great about keeping me posted and sending pictures!”

About: What sets me apart is my positive energy, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have years of experience dog walking and pet sitting for friends and families, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I love getting to know each pet’s personality—whether that means keeping up with a playful puppy, sticking to a routine for a more laid-back dog, or giving extra patience and gentle attention to senior pets. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, following detailed care instructions, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to adapt to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’m always eager to help and treat every pet like my own! Pet care fits easily and consistently into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on client's needs. Once Summer starts, I will be available more often! I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime to make sure pets get reliable, timely care. I’m also good at adjusting my routine when needed, whether that means last-minute requests or extended care. Because I’ve grown up with pets and have experience pet sitting for friends and family, caring for animals is already a natural part of my life. I enjoy building it into my day and making sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box maintenance, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. I’m very respectful of your home and keep things clean, safe, and just as you left them. I take time to build trust with each pet, paying attention to their body language and personality—whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I make sure they get the right balance of play, exercise, and relaxation, while always supervising for safety. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space that’s calm and secure. I keep a close eye on pets, maintain consistent routines, and ensure they feel comfortable and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: Ever since I was 3 years old, I have had dogs around me all the time. Growing up around dogs has taught me a lot about caring for them and what their needs are. Not to mention I love being around dogs! I am currently a full-time student, but I have plenty of space on any day to fit a few walks or a short visit in! I have been walking and spending time with dogs for my whole life, so I understand how to properly walk and care for dogs fully.

“Jennifer was excellent, especially when it came to meeting my 12 year-old fear reactive Australian Sheppard. We took the meet and greet slow to make sure everyone was comfortable. It worked because their first check-in visit went very well.”
