“Great choice! She was very accommodating when our schedule changed, left the house clean and Frenchie seemed to really like her. Would do it again 💯”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life from childhood to adulthood. I was the child that found strays and brought them home! I have had dogs, cats, lizards and Guinea pigs. My pets are treated like family and I’ve always been on top of their health care and grooming. I currently have three cats, ages: 16,15,&two 4 year olds. I have an eight year old German Shepherd as well. At one time we had four dogs, and for cats! I was blessed to live in a large home with large fenced yard. I also have two grand cats, two grand dogs and one grand Guinea pig. My love of pets has past down to all my children. I also have access to military installations. I’m a retired teacher so Pet sitting is what I do! I travel and pet sit for areas that I’m interested in visiting so I’m often traveling to both cities and rural areas. I have my own transportation. I enjoy taking pictures of your loved ones for daily updates. I also have access to military installations. I will only provide care in the pets home. I’m a traveler right now so I can only sit in the clients home and Iam comfortable with that.

“I couldn’t have asked for more. Hanna stayed with our two girls - Darla and Hazel - one senior dog and one space cadet young English Setter. We got photos everyday that showed us in an instant that our girls were well taken care of. We like them to be more comfortable at home and having Hanna here with them was wonderful - she brought in the mail and took great care of our home. What a blessing and a treasure. In a heartbeat I’d ask Hanna again. Too bad she’s not available for our cruise this spring! I tried!”

About: I have 5 huskies ages 9,7,5,3 and 1. Highly intelligent with the energy to match in which we walk/run 2-5 miles each day then we end it with a treat. Im working full time with availability to walk your pups everyday after 430. A walk a day keeps the stress away for the animal and myself I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run, play and dig to bury something if wanted. Leash will wrap around waist for extra protection and stability.

“Great care provider. Everything was perfect”

“Marion did a great job taking care of the dogs and sent lots of pictures.”

About: I grew up with a Weimaraner who was our family dog for years. Two years ago, I rescued a puppy from a shelter in South Carolina and trained her myself — she's now energetic, well-behaved, and a total sweetheart, so I know what it takes to work with young, high-energy dogs. We also have two rescue cats at home, one of whom needed to be bottle-fed as a kitten, so I'm comfortable with more delicate or high-needs care too. I've been around dogs and cats my whole life, at every stage — puppies, seniors, and everything in between — and I treat every pet like it's my own. I work remotely, so I'm home most of the day, which means feeding, walks, and check-ins happen on a consistent schedule rather than being squeezed in around a commute or office hours. If a pet needs a midday walk, a bathroom break, or just some company, I'm already there for it. I'm also an active person by nature — I played soccer for years and still love running and being outdoors — so walks and playtime are things I genuinely enjoy, not just tasks to check off. I'm naturally attentive too — I notice when something feels off with a pet, whether it's energy level, appetite, or mood, and I'd rather over-communicate with an owner than assume everything's fine. In my home (boarding): Pets have full run of a comfortable, pet-proofed space — not crated or confined all day. I stick close to their normal routine (same feeding times, walk schedule, etc.) so the transition feels as seamless as possible, and I send photo/video updates throughout their stay so you always know how they're doing. In your home (house sitting): I follow your exact routine — feeding times, walk schedules, medications, and any specific instructions you leave. I treat the house like I would my own: pets stay comfortable in their own space, mail and packages get brought in, and I keep you updated with regular check-ins. Drop-ins & walks: I show up on time and give pets my full attention for the visit — no rushing through it. That means real walks (not just a quick lap), fresh water, playtime, and a few extra minutes of company if they want it. I always send a summary and photos after each visit so you know exactly how things went.

About: Have experience with multiple dog homes, and senior doggies needing meds and special care. Also have been sitting for a puppy now, so I welcome a challenge. I am not working right now so I'm very flexible with hours. I can be requested for short notice also and can make multiple visits in a day. Will treat and love your baby/babies as if they are my own. I have experience with senior or special needs dogs and giving medicines if needed.

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds for my whole life living on our 50 acre family farm. We have horses, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, reptiles and fish! I take care of all of them and provide them with a loving and enriched environment. I can’t wait to meet your best friends, or have them for a visit! Pet care is my greatest passion and second job at home. I spend my mornings out in the fields with my horses and cows pitching hay, mucking stalls, and cuddling in the grass. I spend my evenings snuggled up with my 3 hound dogs on couch or landscaping my reptile and fish tanks for fun. I am open to the needs of all pets as I know people do things in their own way. I will carefully follow the instructions left by the client.

“Kaitlyn is reliable and our Doberman loves her! We would recommend her for pet sitting services!”

“Susan stayed at our house for 10 days to take care of our dog. She sent us pictures and updates every day. when she left my dog was crying. I was so comfortable going away knowing that I did not have to worry about my dog being taken care of. He was treated very well and he was loved. I give Susan a 10+star rating. I will definitely use her on our next trip. She treated my house like it was her own and my house was in the same condition as when I left it it was clean and orderly. Thank you Susan for all that you did for Willie.”

“I wish I could give Yasmine a million stars! She is so attentive. When one of our dogs was having tummy issues, she offered to make her a plain meal to help. She is so responsive and sends so many pictures and updates. We were so nervous leaving our babies but she is a pro. 100% recommend her and we will be using her again in the future!”

Gretchen O.

“Jacqueline was wonderful with our two German Shepherds! I was nervous as this was our first time leaving the boys with anyone other than family. Jacqueline was very patient in dealing with all my questions and even accommodated my request for a second meet and greet, to allow the boys to get comfortable with her, before her scheduled stay. She was very professional, clean and respectful of our home. I couldn't even tell anyone had been here. Most importantly, we returned home to two happy and relaxed pups. They didn't even seem to notice we had left! I just booked Jacquelin again. We have found our sitter!”

“Heather C. Was great with our rescue pit bull, our old man beagle, and our ornery cat. The dogs were happy and comfortable the whole time. We will continue to use Heather for our dog sitting needs.”

About: I've been watching animals in the neighborhood since I was a child, and have continued to pet sit in my adult life. I love caring for animals and look forward to taking care of yours! I'm a substitute teacher so my schedule is always flexible, especially during holidays and summer break. I can schedule around your pet's needs, so don't hesitate to ask. Please let me know if your animal has any specific needs. I am happy to accommodate for any treatment they would typically receive at home.

About: Rover takes so much of the income - high prices can be negotiated down! I do this regularly and have been for many years! Contact me ! Dog trainer/ care giver 🖤 At home I have two large breed dogs, and one cat who are my absolutely life! In my spare time I am always walking in our local town and doing training sessions as training is my passion! Throughout the week I am nanny- however I was previously for the past 3 years a full time dog trainer at Shore Dog training and a vet tech at Berlin Animal Hospital 🖤 I work consistently 8:30 -5:30 MON - FRI my schedule is incredibly flexible so 3 walks and let outs are always easy to do! As I do not have a fenced in yard, I do heavily rely on taking animals out and about. I do have a crate in my vehicle, because safety is my upmost importance! When we do go out and about, I tend to walk around town and well-known areas! I do not allow off leash dogs or on leash dogs to meet client dogs as It could be a safety concern. However, if the owner is not comfortable with field trips, I do offer different types of enrichment throughout the day kongs, lick Mats, ect as well as a large play area for both cats and dogs at my residence. For more info contact me ! Along side field trips/ outings and enrichment opportunities I offer structured play sessions and LOTS of belly rubs ! I will also do some grooming if you would like!

About: I’ve been looking after dogs since I was in high school, beginning when my mom brought home her sweet husky, Sophie. I also adore my brother’s dogs, Lucy and Cody, and have made them my consistent clients for the past two years. I am used to larger dogs, but I absolutely love all breeds and can’t wait to meet your babies! I’m currently free whenever! I have a seasonal job that starts up in late April, which will shift my pet sitting schedule to weekends only if traveling is required. If you are local I can definitely try to work around my job and your needs depending on time. I unfortunately cannot watch your pets in my home, as I live with my dad and that’s just his rule. I can however stay at your home or do check-ins, whatever you would be comfortable with! If there are any strict guidelines for your babies (feeding/outside schedule, no furniture, crating, dietary restrictions, medications) I will always make sure I follow them to a T!

“Kelsie is a great sitter! Ziggy loves her and is wildly excited when she comes to the door. We're happy to leave him in such good hands.”

About: I love animals of all sorts, and have had experience working in an animal science program for two years. On top of that, I have had experience with taking care of family and friends pets of different species, like rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I am currently a student at Salisbury University, but currently home in upper Delaware for Winter Break. I am available in the area from 9 am - 11 pm. I would do anything for my own dog, and I will treat any pet with that same attitude. I want all pets to feel as comfortable as they can without their parents.
