Doggy Day Care in North Star

About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats—and have taken great pleasure in doing so—since I was a kid. I’ve also had a chameleon and turtles, and am always eager to learn! I am currently unemployed and have ample time to walk your pups, host them at my house, and more! I lost my own dog earlier this year and have boundless love and care ready for the pets of my community! I live in a house with a large backyard (unfenced). I also love taking long walks and have been missing the company of a fur baby when going! If crate trained, you will need to provide a crate.

“Absolute best! Pablo is always energized, well bonded and more social after each time he is in Joseph’s care. Ah! The relief to know your fur baby is in great hands 🙌🏻 something all pet parents can relate to!”

“Lauren is very flexible and understanding and really great with Chai! Great with updates and giving Chai lots of opportunities to potty and exercise. Chai also gets along great with Lauren’s own pups!”

About: I’ve cared for the pets of friends and family for many years, and I’d love to offer my help with your precious friends too! I currently have a Bassett hound/springer spaniel mix named Moody Blues, but enjoy dogs of all sizes and even the sassiest cats! This is currently my main job, so ensuring my flexibility for you is priority! I look forward to working with you to make sure your pets are cared for. I love to visit and take care of friends! For dogs, we can walk, play at home, I can bring Moody Blues if your dog would enjoy visits, and I’m happy to take care of any cleanups or feedings as well. For my cat friends, I’m happy to take care of the same things, with offers of cuddles and lap time in place of the walks for the indoor kitties.

About: I’ve always loved animals and had family pets throughout my childhood. I’ve been a pet owner for 12 years and look forward to helping you meet your pets needs. I work mostly from home so I have flexibility to care for your dogs needs. I’m also available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have family home with a fenced in backyard to let your dog take care of their needs and sunbathe if they so desire. I have a dog and cat who can keep your fur baby lots of company. I also have space to crate your fur baby if you so wish.

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 live in Newark, DE & currently have lots of flexibility in my days to accommodate your needs for drop in visits 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.

About: Your pets are your babies; your home is your sanctuary. I understand & relate to both. I treat your pets & home as I would like mine to be treated. Leaving our four-legged friends behind while we work or travel is really hard. You miss them, and they miss you. Will they be OK? Yes! With me, they will be more than OK. They will be happy. They will be loved. They will have fun. They will enjoy our time together. This all means you can leave your babies behind and not worry!! Caring for pets brings me great joy. I hope you'll reach out. Thanks! Specializations: I specialize in caring for seniors, separation-prone anxiety & nervous cats & dogs; untrained puppies, and recently rescued, adopted & fostered. It's all about building a trusted relationship where an animal feels safe, secure & loved. I work with my niece, who is an Emergency Veterinarian. Birds/Parrots: I am also an avian behavior specialist who rescues and provides forever homes for parrots, including large ones, screamers, biters, and disabled. If you see this and know of a bird parent who can no longer provide the care & attention, proper nutrition, cage-free time & medical needs for their parrot, please reach out to me. There are so many birds out there with owners who just don't have the time, patience, or financial resources that parrots need. Many outlive their caregivers. Thank you! Need care for your pet at the last minute? No worries. I try to be THAT sitter you can count on to always be there for you when you need help the most. I am flexible. I don't charge for last-minute changes, and if available, I'm more than happy to accommodate your change in plans. I'm interested in working with families and their pets on a loyal, repeated, long-term basis. Your pet deserves a familiar face and a trusted caregiver when separated from their family. Each home, owner, and pet is unique and special. My services are uniquely tailored for every pet I am privileged to care for. I will provide you and your pet with the specific care and services you and your loved ones require and expect.

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for a diverse range of pet breeds and ages, I offer personalized, trustworthy pet sitting that prioritizes your furry family members' unique needs. I understand how much pets mean to their owners, and I’m dedicated to providing the highest level of care and companionship while you’re away. Your pets will feel safe, loved, and right at home! I am fortunate to be able to work from home Monday-Friday, which allows me flexibility throughout the day to serve families in my area for short visits or walks. Weekends are wide open for longer visits or even overnight stays! I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment in all my pet sitting services. Your pets deserve a secure and loving space, and I ensure they receive the highest level of care and attention while you’re away. My back yard is fully fenced as well. You can rest easy knowing that your furry friends are in safe hands.

About: I’ve grown up with German Shepherds and an American Bully. I have taken care of a senior dog and puppies for weeks at a time. As well as frequent dog walkings. I am a graduated college student with a break before physical therapy school begins. I have many available times throughout the week. Very flexible with your needs. I have a yard and a walking path nearby. I have no pets in the home so your pet will get my full attention. In your home I will be able to take care of your pet as well as keeping your home tidy.

About: I became a puppy raiser for Guiding Eyes for the Blind right around 2000. It was a great program to help me stay in tune. My favorite take away - your emotions travel through the leash. It reminded me to stay focused on my 4-legged guy when we walked especially. I stayed a sitter for the non-profit even when I wasn't raising. I currently work FT - most days remote. My routine with my own was a morning walk to the entrance of the neighborhood (15-20 min). Mid-morning and mid-afternoon of just the street (~10 min). And a longer after dinner walk (~30 min.). And a night-night walk before turning in. I am currently without a furbaby, so yours would be my focus. I have a gated back deck we could hang on nice days. Leash walks throughout the day.

“Super thankful for Olivia! We’re so happy we found her! It’s been a challenging journey to find the doggy day care for our 11 week pup. When we finally found Olivia, she allowed us to have an informal interview with her which we were super thankful for because for some reason some sitters on here finds that offensive (?). She welcomed us into her gorgeous home and”

“Our dog was well cared for and loved during his day care stay! We could tell he had a wonderful time at Cecelia’s and definitely came out of it making some new friends! Thank you so much!!!”

About: I got my first dog when I was 18 years old. She was the sweetest pup I have ever met! Since then dogs have become an irreplaceable part of my life. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs & few dogs with behavioral needs. I have fostered dogs through the years and learnt how meaningful this experience can be. My last foster was a young adult who was a year old. Open to pets all day subjected to advance notice/short notice. I'm mostly home so I can be flexible with your routine and needs. A small heads up is always appreciated. I live in an apartment complex which is 5 mins away from 2 dog parks. I'll take your dog for daily exercise and morning, afternoon and evening. I live in a neighborhood which has lots of space to walk for regular/short walks. I have a 7 year old mild tempered female dog who will provide excellent care and comfort while you are away. I can easily crate your dog if needed, I have a large crate.

“Alyson was great with my yorkie Zoe. Zoe was very happy to see her each time I dropped her off, which has not always been the case with sitters! Plenty of pics and poo updates.”

“Latoya was very sweet and prompt with her responding. She helped my dog who’s very anxious to feel calm which put me at ease. Would definitely recommend Latoya and use her again for services!”

About: Animals are always taken good care of I love animals and have a lot of experience to care for an animal when I pet sit. I have free time we mostly do pet sitting I have the time and care when your animal is with me while your away .

“Sunaina was great with Loki! He had such a great time with her and her family. She sent us many pictures and updates periodically of him during his time with them. She listened to our instructions on his allergies and food timing, and took him out for walks. We were super happy that he was happy! Definitely will book again when we are back in the area!”

About: Experience with owning and caring for 4 dogs & 1 cat, in my household- at once. Over 16 years of experience with Dachshunds, Pitbull’s, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, many breeds of cats, Flemish giant rabbits, and turtles. Enjoy being active and taking care of our little creature and other’s loved ones! ❤️ Every animal is different, so their care needs to be unique and carefully planned for their happiness. Giving lots of attention and love to your little creatures when you are working hard- and you don’t have to rush home to let them out or feed them. Want to spend my free time helping and taking care of the beautiful and loving animals we have the chance to meet. Very fortunate enough to have many animals in my life. My schedule on the app is always up to date. If I am booked on the schedule, please still free to reach out, as cancelations happen! 😊 I just moved into a new house, so I created different spaces for the animals to safely play, and relax in. I am very flexible on drop off and pick up times. I love meeting new people, and have no problem traveling to clients houses to sit their animals. Overall, I love every type of animal, and even though I do not have a dog of my own currently, I hope to add a furry friend to my family shortly after I grow my family. :)

“Was very friendly and welcoming. Kept me updated and informed with my puppy. He seemed very calm and happy. Definitely recommend and would be back!”
