About: Want someone to hang out and keep your pets company while you’re gone? My full-time job is remote and if you have good Wi-Fi, I can work out of your home to keep your fur babies company for a longer period of time during the day. I’ve owned pets for over a decade, and I’ve been looking after them for much longer. I have raised my 2 Great Pyrenees from 8 weeks old, so I am comfortable with any age, size or breed. Large breed dogs have a special place in my heart. Since I own two of them and walk them together all the time, I’m very comfortable taking large dogs on walks or runs, and snuggling them. **the 60 min rate listed is for working from your home, can be added up to 8 hours on most week days. I work from home, so I can stop by to let puppies out midday depending on my day to day. I could also potentially work remote from your home (and keep your pets company) during the day if you have Wi-Fi. I am saving up for a wedding and just looking to make a little extra cash on the side. I treat all fur babies as I would my own, with love and respect. I’ve been hired by many pet owners over the years. Kindness and courtesy always.

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’ve cared for small dogs my whole life — from playful puppies to sweet senior companions. Growing up in a home full of small dogs taught me to be patient, attentive, and in tune with their needs. I also help care for our big family dog, who’s a senior but still loves his walks and belly rubs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or giving medication, I provide reliable, loving care that helps your pet feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you're away. I have free time most evenings and can also make time in the mornings. Since I care for my own cat daily, pet care is already a natural part of my routine. I'm happy to be flexible and work pet visits into my schedule — whether it’s morning feedings, evening walks, or check-ins throughout the day, I’ll make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I don’t offer pet care in my own home, as I have a cat who’s a bit territorial. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible when it comes to walks, feeding schedules, or just spending time keeping them company.

About: I've owned dogs and other pets my entire life. Whether it's going for walks or just making sure a friendly face is helping with day to day tasks, I am here to help. I look to be a new friend for every new fury family member. I am an artist for most of my day, but look to find the right opportunity to take care of special fury families within my area. I do not have a fenced in yard, so would be looking for right opportunities at home or walking services to meet the needs of families looking for pet care.

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!

“Thank you!”

“Gonzalo was great walking our Francis for the first time. We are new to Rover, so we did not know what to expect. Gonzalo was attentive, communicative, efficient and respectful guiding us through our first walk. We’ll be using his services again moving forward.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for as long as I can remember—starting from age six, I grew up surrounded by pets and can’t imagine life without them. I currently have three cats and one dog of my own, so daily pet care is already a natural part of my routine. Over the years, I’ve learned to understand animals’ different personalities, needs, and signals. I’m patient, loving, and attentive, and I treat every pet like family. I’m also comfortable with bathing and grooming, including giving basic haircuts for dogs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy senior, or a curious kitty, I always adapt my care to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. With my flexible work schedule and my husband working from home full-time, your pet will never feel alone. One of us is always around to provide consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, we’re here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and part of the family—even on weekends. This constant presence allows us to closely follow their routines and quickly respond to any needs that come up. In my pet-friendly home, safety and comfort come first. I provide a calm, clean space with plenty of playtime and supervision. My own dog is friendly and well-socialized, happy to keep your pup company. I’m located near beautiful state parks and reservoirs—perfect for peaceful, enriching walks in nature. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine closely and offer lots of love, attention, and care as if they were my own.

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.

About: I've been my neighborhood's go-to pet-sitter since I was in elementary school. Now, I've been working at a doggy daycare in my hometown for almost three years. I have experience with many different types of pets, like fish, rodents, cats, and dogs of all ages and temperaments. I can also work on leash manners with your pup! I am a sophomore wildlife ecology major at UDel, and on breaks I work part time at a doggy daycare. This summer, I have an internship in Newark at Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research, and my off days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I am available Sunday and Monday mornings, and Thursday and Saturday evenings. I am living in a rental house this summer very close to the UDel campus. The house has a no pet policy, but I can stop by for in-home visits and take walks with your pet.

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.

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.

“Savannah has been wonderful! She recently took over walking Fiona after our last dog walker graduated. I receive updates every day and Fiona is enjoying hanging out with her new caretaker!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was child. I have a love and passion for animals of all kinds. I am a nurse by profession. I’ve taken care of friends and family’s pets while they’re away on vacation. I work from home, I would be available 6am-930a and 1230-430p I’d be able to stop in for walks, feeding or just a potty break in the yard. Weekends times are flexible! I would love to meet and greet with a pet. Learn the routine of your family pet. And this allows them to get to know me.
