“We had a wonderful experience when Steve watched our dog at our house for the weekend. His communication style kept us at ease, and we could tell from the pics he sent that our dog enjoyed himself very much.

About: Pups within my care are ensured to be well cared for and happy waggers! Many people like to walk dogs as a way to pass time but for me caring for pets and making sure they get all the help and care that they need are essential to my day to day! I have several years experience in pet sitting, from day to day walks and exercise, to keeping company and helping with food and medical tasks! I am a college student who loves animals and am looking to give some pups some exceptional care! Caring for dogs is my passion and now that i have even more time to give i would like to lend a hand in pet sitting! I am available for Check-in, walking and feeding services! And although i have some time off as of current, even while in classes I am able to do on-going part time care routines! I am able to feed, walk, bathe, and play with your pup! If your pup has a set schedule I am able to work with it and ensure that your pup is safe and healthy and happy! I never like to leave a client dissatisfied with my care so each pup gets their own unique play and care schedule that changes up each day so that it doesn't feel repetitive for them! It can be stressful having to leave your pup with someone new but I always ensure that you will be updated at every moment to know how your fur-baby is doing!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very younger for all of my family members and neighbors. I love giving all animals attention and the love they deserve. I’m currently working full time I currently work until 3:30 so anytime after that I’m available to be able to watch or walk your pet. I have a fenced in yard. I have a dog that loves other animals to keep your pet occupied and have a friend to play with. But I can crate if needed.

About: I’ve always been super interested in animals, so I have a lot of experience in pet care, and I am ready to be here for your pets just I am my own! I have experience in pet-sitting dogs, cats, ferrets, a gerbil, and a rabbit. I also worked at a reptile care center and took care of snakes, bearded dragons, geckos, mice, and tarantulas, so I have experience with a wide array of pets and feel prepared for the unexpected! I have two disabled dogs, and I previously had a nervous, reactive dog. I also have experience with very young puppies and pregnant dogs. I promise your pet will be in great hands with me. I am free most weekends; however, I am in college, and I do not have a car on campus, so weekdays aren’t great for me, excluding Fridays later in the day, which work with my schedule. I am aware that different pets have different needs, and I am prepared to accommodate them. This includes dogs who need scheduled medication and dogs with disabilities. I also would love to take your pets on walks; it’s something I really enjoy! Finally, I have had lots of experience dealing with a nervous, reactive dog, so I understand some dogs can get uncomfortable in overwhelming situations! Please just let me know if your pet has any quirks that I should be aware of, and I will try to be mindful of them.

About: i’ve had pets my whole life and adore taking care of them. I also take care of my friends animals which include bunnies, lizards, cats and dogs when she needs me as she’s out of town often. I’m a full time stay at home mom so I am pretty much always available as I have multiple people who I live with who can look after my child anytime when needed! I have a Yorkie at home who is friendly with any other animals and long leashes outside for any dogs needed to spend time outside safe and secure

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid and have always loved being around both dogs and cats. I have a mountain dog at home, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, but I’ve also worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also have a grey tabby cat and recently fostered a mom cat with seven kittens—which was an amazing and rewarding experience. I’m patient, reliable, and always treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. As for the rate, I listed a number on my profile, but I’m open to discussing it based on the care your pet needs. Once I understand the routine and what’s expected, we can figure out something that works for both of us. I currently work at The Cheesecake Factory in Christiana Mall, and I always make time to fit pet care into my weekly routine. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize Rover and make sure pets get the attention they deserve. I receive my work schedule every Saturday and update my Rover availability right away, so everything stays accurate and reliable. I care for pets by making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved whether I’m in your home or theirs. I follow any specific instructions you provide for feeding, medication, or routines, and I always pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I like to give them plenty of attention and affection, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise or rest based on their personality and what you, the owner, would like. Keeping the space clean and watching for any signs that something might be wrong is important to me, and I make sure to check in with owners regularly so they know how their pets are doing.
