8. Dex H.
“There are few people I'd trust more to take care of my pet! D has watched our dog and hedgehog for us multiple times while we've taken weekends away. I never have to worry that Rufus is walked, fed, and played with while we're gone, and that Nutmeg's cage is clean and her food and water are fresh. Rufus gets so excited when we say D is coming! D has a special way with all animals, and I would absolutely recommend!”

About: I have pet sat for all kinds of pets from cats, dogs, lizards even frogs! I have the most experienced taking care of dogs and cats. I also have experience administering medication and volunteering at a shelter. I recently just graduated college, and am still in the process of trying to a full time job. Since it is the summer I have a lot of extra free time! I care and respect clients homes the same as I would my own. An important part of pet sitting is to respect the pet owners space since it is a great deal of trust to give another person especially with your animal. I also know as a pet owner myself.

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!

17. Jessica D.
“I have know Jessica for over 5 years and she absolutely loves my dog. She truly cares about her and my dog gets excited to see her. I can rely on her for being friendly, professional and ensure my dog is well taken care of. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”


18. Lillyanne D.

“Lillyanne asked questions on the initial meet and greet so my dogs were fed and let out just like if I was home. Her communication was outstanding and we were sent the most adorable pics of the pups. Would most definitely book again.”


19. Lenah s.

“Lenah was absolutely wonderful with my 11-year-old fear-reactive Australian Shepherd. She took extra special care not to force interaction and allowed Lady to approach on her terms. By the first visit, they were friends, by the third, they were best friends with puppy kisses and belly rubs. Lenah was always polite, respectful, and punctual for the visits. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for companionship for their fur babies.”
