Sarah was fantastic! I was very at ease that I had to be away for 9 days and know that my Griz was well cared for with her staying in my home. 10/10 recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!

About: I have taken care of my neighbors and family members dogs for years while they are on vacation! I love going on walks and playing! I’m currently working part-time, so I would be willing to walk or dog sit during the early mornings, afternoons, and evening depending on my schedule. I am off on Sundays, Mondays, and usually an additional day of the week. I always prioritize safety and comfort. I follow your pet's routine exactly, keep a clean environment, and give constant supervision. I make sure doors, leashes, and feeding times are handled carefully so your pet feels safe and relaxed.

Jenni and Matt took very good care of my Ginger girl while I was away. I was already anxious about traveling for the first time after the pandemic and leaving my pup for so many days. Jenni kept me updated with pics and videos that helped set my mind at ease. Ginger had lots of fun without me while I was gone 😃

It’s been such a pleasure experience having Leigh as a pet sitter for my two babies. She’s very knowledgeable about cats and made my little shy guy comfortable being around her. This is not something many people can do in such a short time. I’ll definitely book with her again.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since my high school days. I love caring for and building relationships with dogs because they are truly like your best friend when they get to know and love you. Currently I work from home and for the most part make my own schedule every day. I am looking to build loving relationships with every pet that I care for so every owner can confidently put their trust in me to bring their furry friends back to me anytime they need me to take care of them. Me and my husband love dogs! We have a doggy park inside of our residence as well as a lovely community of people who walk their dogs everyday I’m sure your pet will meet some friends as we go out for walks and play at the park. Please let me know if you have any special food or any other request that you need me to accommodate to ensure that your furry baby is okay so I can be prepared as much as I can to welcome them into our home. I make my own schedule every day so i am pretty much free Monday through Sunday each week. I will make sure I update the time slots that are booked as clients start scheduling their appointments. All small and medium-sized dogs will be more than welcomed to roam freely around my living room kitchen area and are allowed to sit and lay on the couches as well. The floors are hardwood so even if they have an accident of pooping or peeing on the floor it will be alot easier for me to clean up on the hard floors than the carpeted areas. They will be allowed to come into my bedroom or any other room as long as I am in the room supervising them. I will take them outside to potty every 2 hours timed from the time they arrive until their scheduled time of leaving. You can feel free to bring their favorite toys they love to play with but I will also be purchasing brand new toys that I'm sure your dogs/cats will love to play with.

About: I worked at a dog/cat kennel for over 3 years. I was fortunate enough to work with all breeds, sizes, ages, and behavioral levels. I want to give your pet the best and most comfortable experience while you're away! I am a college student at UD studying ecology. My schedule is generally pretty open with the exception of morning classes (~9 am - 11 am). My availability varies, but I can be flexible! Feel free to message me to inquire! I understand that all pets have different needs and preferences. I am comfortable playing with your dog in their home, taking them on walks, or little field trips and hikes (for the more energetic pups) around Delaware if you'd like! I have a soft spot for senior cats and dogs, so I am also more than happy to take things slower and give them the extra TLC they might need.

Dylan with the help of Sophie were so great with our dogs while we were away! They were exhausted when we got home so we know they played hard. We appreciate their help and the excellent care they provided for our boys.

Look no further - Reid is the man! We had Reid dog sit our 2 relatively new to us bonded pair rescue dogs. The poochies had spent 2 months in a kennel waiting to be adopted, so we wanted in home care while we went away. Our flight schedules changed several times coming and going, and Reid was always available to accommodate those changes. The poochies were still adjusting to us and their new home, and were having some anxiety issues. Reid was so patient and really worked with them while we were away. When we arrived home it was obvious that they loved him and he loved them. I would not hesitate to have Reid house sit for us again, and already have plans to have him back for day visits when we are out for the day. 5 stars all the way!

Jonaika is a mature, kind, responsible and communicative young woman. She stayed in our home with our two dogs for a holiday week, and provided loving and consistent care. She has a warm temperament which dogs loved, flows instructions, and cares for pets with great accountability. I highly recommend Jonaika for any pet sitting situation.

We loved Tre! From the minute he pulled into the driveway, we felt comfortable that he would be a great fit to care for our enthusiastic pittie mix. He asked pertinent questions and took detailed notes during the meet and greet. Our dog responded so favorably to him and the became fast friends. We highly recommend him and will definitely be working together in the future.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between, I treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a shy senior cat who just wants a cozy lap, I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—including those with special medical or behavioral needs. From daily walks and playtime to overnight stays and medication administration, I provide dependable, compassionate care that gives pet parents peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m here to make tails wag and whiskers twitch—while keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages along the way! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with you pet. I am available after 2pm throughout the week and my weekends are open. My space is designed with your pet’s comfort and safety in mind. With space to roam, nap, and play, your furry friend will feel right at home from the moment they arrive. I offer a clean, secure, and peaceful environment—free from hazards and full of love. Whether it’s a quiet corner for a cat to curl up or a fenced yard for dogs to stretch their legs, I’ve created a space that caters to all personalities and energy levels. Pets enjoy supervised playtime, cozy sleeping areas, and a calm atmosphere that helps ease separation anxiety. I maintain a consistent routine, provide fresh water and clean bedding daily, and ensure every guest receives personalized attention. Plus, I’m always happy to send photo updates so you can see just how relaxed and happy your pet is during their stay.

About: I have always been left alone with dogs, I adore them and always make sure they are not doing anything bad, staying out of trouble, staying safe, but having fun! I have been around just about every size dog in my life, a large great dane, a medium golden doodle, and chihuahuas. I am a student, a senior in High-School, so by doing this on Friday/Saturdays I am ensuring that the owners can go live their life, do what they need to do, while I make sure their furry friend is safe. I have been around about every size dog. I do not let the animals leave my sight. I will play with them to keep them entertained and in my visual, if they get tired, I will stay in the area they are resting in, to keep a peace of mind for myself, and to ensure your pets safety. Better safe then sorry!
