Pet Sitting North East

About: Hi, I’m Chris! ​Trust isn't just given; it’s earned. When you hand over the keys to your home and the care of your best friend, you need absolute certainty that they are in the safest possible hands. My goal is to provide you with that complete peace of mind from day one. ​Individualized Care & Infinite Patience Every animal is a unique individual, and they all operate on their own timeline. Whether I am helping a high-energy puppy safely blow off steam on a brisk walk, or sitting quietly across the room to give a timid cat the space they need to feel secure, my approach is rooted entirely in patience. I let your pet set the pace and will never rush an interaction. Earning a genuine, comfortable bond with your pet—and providing the transparent communication needed to earn your trust—is my absolute top priority. ​The Vet Tech Advantage As a former Veterinary Technician with 10 years of professional pet care experience, I bring a clinical standard of safety and observation to every single drop-in and walk. You can leave for work or a trip knowing I am trained to notice the subtle signs of stress or illness, handle emergencies calmly, and administer medications flawlessly. ​Proven Adaptability My decade in the industry goes beyond the clinic. With hands-on roles in doggy daycares, grooming salons, and pet boutiques, I haven't just seen it all—I've learned how to adapt to the specific needs, quirks, and body language of countless breeds and temperaments. I know how to read a room, read a dog, and adjust my energy to match theirs. ​A 15-Year Dog Dad I’ve been a devoted dog dad for over 15 years. Keeping up with my own highly intelligent, active Border Collie mix reminds me daily of the deep bond we share with our pets, and the customized physical and mental enrichment they need to thrive. ​Now offering services in North East, I look forward to treating your pets with the exact same patience, respect, and expert care I give my own. Pet care is the cornerstone of my daily life. My routine is entirely built around keeping my active dog, Quinn, physically fulfilled and caring for my partner's cat, Mischief. Because my home life already revolves around feeding, exercise, and enrichment, weaving your pet's walks and drop-ins into my schedule is a seamless, natural extension of my day. I currently offer walks and drop-in visits exclusively in my clients' homes, as I believe pets are most relaxed in their own familiar territory. When entering your home, my top priorities are respecting your space and your pet's boundaries. I let your pet set the pace for our interaction, whether that means a brisk neighborhood walk or sitting patiently until a shy cat comes to say hello. I strictly adhere to your house rules and routine, ensuring your home is exactly as secure and tidy as you left it.

About: I have over 30 years in pet care industry. I Have raised , trained and shown dogs for over 15 years. I was a groomer for 10 + years. I have managed an animal shelter and took in many rescues. Pets are my life and love my job very much. I can administer medications including injections. I look forward to meeting new clients as well as caring for existing clients. I am a full time caregiver. My kids are all grown and on their own so I have plenty of time to spend with your furbaby. I have two separate fenced in yards for outdoor playtime activity. I live in a mobile home community. The entire property is privacy fenced backed with chain link for double security. There is plenty of space for all size dogs to exercise. I have the ability to spend one on one time with your pet or group play other dogs of similar temperament and size. I am experience in doggy daycare settings with 20 plus dogs at one time. I look forward to caring for your precious baby the way I would want my own pups cared for. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule that allows plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. All of our guests have a great time during their stay. Please note: If you are 30 minutes or more past your selected drop off time and you have not reached out to us we will consider this a no show. After an hour with no communication your spot will no longer be available. Communication is extremely important as is punctuatality. We plan our time based on your choices on drop off and pick up times. We do not sit around all day waiting for you to decide to show up or not. It's extremely frustrating for us when there is lack of communication. Thank you for understanding. I have a 6ft high privacy fenced in yard. I separate my personal dogs except for a couple that love to play with other dogs. We do not require meet greets. If you absolutely feel it is necessary we have a limited time slot of 15 minutes and will only accommodate if we have the availability. If you are 5 or more minutes late you will have to reschedule. We take time away from our guests and private time from our families to offer this service. Due to most dogs being temperamentally different when owners are present verses in their absence it really isn't a necessary action to determine your pups stay. I will introduce other dogs only when a new guests has become comfortable with me and my husband. Then we introduce one at a time. This can sometimes take an hour or a day depending on the individual. We require dogs to be crate trained as we crate all dogs even our own for feeding, sleeping and if we need to leave the house. We have a family member that lives in our home. He is there 24/7 so your pup is never left alone. I spend as much time out doors playing with our guests as possible,weather permitting. Indoors is more of quiet time. I do allow guest on the furniture so if that is not something permitted at please let me know. Please be aware this is MY home not a public facility. There may be crates set up in the Livingroom for current guests. I provide toys, bedding, crates and bowls. All crates have a water bucket. You will be required to provide food, treats and medications if needed No pick ups and drops off before 5:00 am and after 8:00 pm. Please schedule your dates accordingly. Please try to stick to your requested pick up and drop off times. While I am flexible I do make plans around the times you selected. If you need to change those times please try to give advance notice so I can plan accordingly. Communication is imperative to have a successful client relationship.

“Brian & Tanya were amazing and im glad we found them. They sent us so many photos of our fur babies every visit. They were great with our pets and very pleasant to work with all around. We will absolutely book with them again in the future. If you're reading this review trying to decide who to go with look no further you found the best :)”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover who has worked hands on in an animal shelter for many years. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, including animals with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and special routines. I offer drop in visits, dog walks, house sitting, and boarding, with light grooming available for an additional fee. I’m comfortable giving medications, following detailed care instructions, and taking the extra time needed to make your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. For boarding, I do ask that dogs are cat tolerant. I have three medically challenged cats of my own and regularly foster cats and dogs, so my home is very animal focused and used to having furry visitors! Your pets will be treated like family, with plenty of attention, patience, and individualized care. 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! I work as a Cattery Caretaker at an animal shelter, so I’m around animals and caring for them throughout my workday. Outside of work, I have my own cats and regularly foster cats and dogs, so I’m very used to making time for feeding, cleaning, medications, walks, enrichment, and giving each animal individual attention. Currently working Full time! I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely get outside time and play. I’m also comfortable following each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

“Would definitely use Mason again. Took very good care of my 4 cats - fed them, gave them clean water, changed their litter, vacuumed the litter area and played with them. She even found some of the hiding places of my shy cat. Highly recommend her.”

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.

“Love the photos! This was our first time using anyone for a pop in visit. This was totally last minute! Asked Paul and his fiance last night at 7pm to please help us, and without hesitation they came right over and met our boys. They did a pop in visit today and they were wonderful!!! Will definitely use them again :) They were great!!!! Thank you both so much !”

Leanna

“You’re the best!! We can’t thank you enough for taking such great care of our puppy. It seems like he has so much fun with you. Love all of the photos you send. Thank you. So grateful we found you.”

“We felt comfortable trusting our cats with Emily immediately after meeting her. She is very pleasant and thorough. She was also very accommodating adjusting our dates due to illness on our end. We will absolutely book her again!”

Samantha H.

“Jenni was WONDERFUL! On her second visit she asked if she could bring her dog for a playdate with her boyfriend and she sent photos and videos of happy, tail wagging pups playing ball together! I'm going to hire Jenni to come more regularly, hopefully with her pup! I will definitely use her for boarding because now my guy will be right at home with them all!”

Gretchen K.

“Excellent communication before and during our first time hiring Alley. She was great with the dogs and spent lots of time with them. Alley is definitely hired for every time we need a sitter!!”

Katie L.

“Cassandra took excellent care of our 17 month old yellow lab 3 times a day for almost two weeks. We received updates and photos after each visit, which we really appreciated. Emily looks great and was very happy to see us when we came home, but we think that she will miss Cassandra’s visits.”

“Our 3rd time booking with Reid- great as always! Provided pictures and played with our dog outside! Will continue to book Reid whenever we need dog coverage!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for and training dogs, including raising and training four Australian Cattle Dogs—a breed known for its intelligence and high energy. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to read canine body language, reinforce good behaviors, and confidently handle dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also walked dogs for several of my mom’s clients throughout the Hockessin and Wilmington area. My focus is on providing safe, reliable, and personalized care while treating every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently home full-time, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment, affection, and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods. Your dog will be welcomed into a safe, loving home and treated like one of my own. I have a fully fenced 0.5-acre yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore under supervision, as well as three friendly, well-socialized dogs for those who enjoy canine companionship. I also do my best to maintain each dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind while you’re away and for your dog to feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re with me. I’m a Registered Nurse with a background in cardiac care and high-stress open-heart surgery, where being dependable, attentive, calm under pressure, and detail-oriented was essential every single day. After years of caring for my patients’ hearts, I’ve now been able to channel that same compassion into one of my greatest passions—dogs. I like to think I’ve gone from caring for my patients’ hearts to caring for my clients’ whole hearts—their dogs. ❤️🐾 My nursing background has shaped the way I care for animals. I take safety seriously, pay close attention to changes in behavior or well-being, follow instructions carefully, and understand the importance of medications and routines. Most importantly, I want owners to know they are leaving their dog with someone who is responsible, reliable, professional, and genuinely invested in their care.

“Our cat seemed to really like Claire, and Claire gave great updates. Thank you!”

Sarah H.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Briana, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From our first interaction, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of dog care. Briana took the time to get to know my dogs' personalities, habits, and specific needs, which put me at ease right away. During the time I was away, she provided regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured me that my pups were in great hands. Thank you Briana”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10. I worked at a doggy daycare and an animal hospital for almost a year. I’m comfortable with all types of animals, including exotics, and can deal with all kinds of temperaments and medical needs. Currently I attend University of Delaware as a pre-veterinary medicine major. I am available 7 days and week and throughout the - I occasionally work at a dog boarding facility but shifts are usually no longer than 7 hours I am comfortable coming to other houses and doing overnight stays as well, which I have done before for clients. Unfortunately I cannot board at my house.

About: Hello furry parents! My name is Lily and I’m excited to support you and your family. I have worked with all dog breeds and all ages through fostering. I am currently in my training certification program to provide proper education to you and your puppers. I am an online student looking to spend my free time with amazing pets. My top priority is to give all animals time and love. Whether it’s giving a long walk, using my dog park at my complex or administering medication, I’m your girl! When I would care for your pets, it’s all about the greeting. I would love to make sure your pets are as comfortable with you as for me! If you’d love me to help them learn tricks, feel free to request!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been passionate about caring for animals. In addition to being a lifelong dog owner, I work in healthcare, where attention to detail, patience, compassion, and reliability are essential every day. I bring those same qualities to pet care. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll provide dependable care and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work full time Tuesday–Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, with occasional Saturdays, but I’m available for evenings and weekends, and drop-in care. Mondays are bit more flexible as of now , that is subject to change end of August. I have two French Bulldogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with the special care and attention this breed requires. Because Frenchies can be prone to overheating and breathing difficulties, I closely monitor activity levels, especially during warm weather, and make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a comfortable environment, and plenty of rest. As both a lifelong dog owner and a healthcare professional, I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, routine, and overall well-being. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by pet parents and make sure pets receive plenty of love, supervision, and companionship. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I maintain a clean, safe environment and treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I strive to provide reliable care and regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
