About: I’ve cared for all sorts of pets Chihuahua/Jack Russells, Pitbulls, Guinea Pigs, Cats, Beta Fish. Some had “human” problems and I created bonds with them. Some had been abandoned and I learned about and cared for them. Some I cared for from infancy to the end of their seniority. Some had Lymphoma and other health issues so I administered medicine and provided a comfortable and exciting way of life for them according to the pet’s desires. I sprint with pit bulls and relax with senior dogs, I create a playful and exciting environments and sometimes nap with dogs on the grass. I love the outdoors but even indoors there’s fun to be had. Regardless of the type of Pet I was always more than willing to learn more about them and adapt to what the owner and most of all what the Pet wanted. I hope that I can have the honor of meeting and getting to know your pet and in the process help you as the owner/parent by providing a great price knowing that your pet will receive the best of love and care. I’m currently available most days of the week with the exception of being busy on Wednesdays and Sunday’s but I still have time on Wednesdays. The more info I have about your pet the better I can care for your pet. I usually do my best to stick to a routine or at least somewhat of a schedule so that I can make sure to stay on track for feeding, walking, play time/free time.
“JOEY IS SIMPLY PHENOMENAL!!! we never have a worry when he’s looking after our two dogs. they look forward to spending time with him :) thanks so much, Joey!”
“Colleen is great with my dog Jilly. The first time meeting Colleen, Jilly really seemed calmer then what I was used to seeing with new people coming into the house. She does great with her on her walks. I am on a/an ongoing schedule and I love the flexibility with her schedule to add days for coverage if needed. She has helped me tremendously because finding someone to cover the hours I needed was becoming harder to find. I would definitely recommend Colleen.”
“Terry did a fantastic job with the pups. She is truly caring and went above and beyond taking care of them. Will always book her for the future appointments.”
“Layna is thoughtful, bubbly, cautious, and smart! We love the way she is with our pup. She’s responsive and provides updates about our baby boy. Love working with her. 10/10”
“Alex is amazing! She’s super caring and the best walker we could ask for. From the first walk, she’s been so patient, especially with one of our dogs who’s a bit shy. Alex goes above and beyond, always making sure they’re comfortable and safe, and you can tell she genuinely loves spending time with them. Our dogs are always excited when she shows up and come back happy and relaxed. If you want someone who treats your pets like her own, Alex is the one!”
“Samantha is awesome!!! She’s so wonderful with our dog, Larry. Highly recommend!”
About: I have cared for cats since I was 7 years old, I adore them! I sit for friends’ cats when they are away, and I have experience caring for senior and super-senior kitties. I can successfully administer oral medications via syringe and subcutaneous fluids. I also have experience getting feral and dumped cats to trust me so I can get them the care they need. I lived with Tibetan Terriers in high school and am an avid walker, I often walk my friends dogs if they need an extra hand. I am most comfortable with dogs under 50 pounds. I can easily visit furbabies as needed/on their schedule. I have cared for chronically ill cats, including my super-senior ckd Ragdoll who crossed the rainbow bridge on 1/14/25 🌈🐾, so I have experience in successfully giving subcutaneous fluids via drip bag/giving set, oral medications via syringe, chemotherapy liquid medication, and pills via pill packs/treats. I am happy to come to the kitties’ homes, they tend to not like to travel and I understand! I usually do a morning and late afternoon/evening visit for cats but am flexible. For dog walking, I can be available for morning, mid-afternoon, or evening walks or drop-ins if the pup isn't feeling up to a walk but just needs some company :).
“Jenn was absolutely amazing with my dogs! We really appreciated all the pictures she took and the extremely thorough updates. One our beagles had surgery a couple months ago, she took great care of him and was very patient with him. Would highly recommend Jenn !”
About: Had dogs since I was 12 and have taken care of them, as well as friends, families, and neighbors dogs! Love all dogs big or small! I currently work part-time during the week so I am flexible! So I am available from 7am-2pm Monday- Friday and 7am-6pm during the weekend days! I care for your pets as if they are my own! I strive to make every pet comfortable and excited to see me! I am respectful of clients homes and their expectations as well! My goal is to leave my clients stress and worry free.
“Shelby was on time for scheduled appointment and very pleasant.”
“Nathan & Meredith are amazing! From arranging meet & greet, communications through app, and the thoughtful notes after every walk, they are really caring to your pets. My dog enjoys spending time with them so much!”
About: I can definitely relate to the stress caused by taking out the suitcases when it comes to your pets. Those sad eyes! Or maybe you have the occasional extra-long day at work or away from home, and just want the peace of mind that comes with knowing the dog was able to go out, get some attention, and eat at his normal time. I also know what a relief it is to find a reliable and caring pet sitter - especially one who goes the extra mile to make sure you can spend your time away from home knowing the animals are well cared for. I’d love to meet you and your dog(s) and/or cat(s) ahead of time, but life happens - so I am available on short notice as well. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am happy to consider any special needs your pets might have, dietary, meds, etc. I’m a photographer in Newark, DE. I have lots of flexibility in my days so can surely accommodate your needs for pet sitting or walking. You can usually find me outside and I’m often taking a walk - with my cat in his stroller! (He loves it!) I’d love to give your pup some exercise on my next walk. And I’m all his during our outings :) Just tell me what you need me to do! Let me know anything to be aware of, likes/dislikes, if you’d like photos while you’re away… basically I will treat your fur-baby the same way I would want a sitter to treat mine.
“Sicario looks forward to seeing John every single time! He has fun and is safe with John!! They have a great bond now, I am so blessed to have found you John!!”
“Jordana is one of the best! She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable as we left our Stella for the weekend. She sent photos and videos. Kept in contact with me throughout her walks. 100% recommend and I can’t wait to book her again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of puppies, adult dogs, cats, and small animals! I am an animal lover, and I would love to take care of your fur babies! My partner and I run this account together, and she has open availability :) I also have open availability on weekends and the summer! :) We personally have a 3 year old golden retriever and 4 year old cat. Any other pets in our care receive the same treatment! Our animals get along well with other animals, but can easily be kept separate upon request. We also have in home cameras for when pets are alone.
“Felipe was timely & thorough with his visits & provided plenty of updates throughout!”
About: My name is Alexandra, I plan to work this summer to take care of your furry friends. I myself have a few adorable 20, 4, and 2 year old cats! I have experience with golden retrievers while having a 3 year old Vizsla. Piece of cake walking large and small dogs! Animals mean the world to me and I’m more then willing to take care of yours! I am a dog walker and pet sitter. I can take care of big and small dogs easily. I am a long distance runner, meaning I can take your dog for long walks. I play with my pets regularly and give them all the attention they need. I can only work certain days of the week. Please contact me soon and I’ll get back to you ASAP. I work a corporate job during the week for usually 3 hours a day so providing potty breaks are with ease. I’m usually available every other weekend after 4pm for animal care too! Providing animals with the most optimal care is my goal. First I’d let them get accustomed to my scent and allow me to gain their trust. After, I’d perform all the duties the pet owners had tasked me with great service.
“Carly was attentive and on time with Kobe. She was professional, caring, and left Kobe treats at the end of her assignment. I would recommend her to care for your animal :)”

1. Joemar A.
“Joemar is a gentle soul and has high morals. He loved walking my 2 chihuahua mix around his or my neighborhood. Once my babies passed away, he still retains an active lifestyle: jogging in the mornings or riding his bike everywhere, like doing groceries for his mom, which is when I usually see him. He’s conscientious and likes to be helpful when he can. When he’s at home, he’ll read a book, watch a movie or write to create a new recipe. He also likes to write plans and goals for himself to achieve in the next hour or by the end of the year. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, you will not regret giving Joemar a chance. He always does his best with his heart.”
