Pet Sitting Powellville

“Lucia is fantastic. We are first time reptile owners and it was great to know that our sitter has a lot of experience taking care of tortoises. We were able to leave the country knowing Ged was in capable and caring hands. She is communicative and understanding of our needs. We will definitely be rebooking with Lucia in the future!”

About: I’ve had various pets my entire life (mainly cats) and have always loved caring for all animals. I grew up around families with dogs, so I’m extremely comfortable caring for dogs as well and have pet-sat many dogs over the years. At one point, I had 12 cats, so I’m able to care for multiple pets and keep up with their individual needs. I’ve also cared for two senior cats and understand the extra patience and attention older pets may need. I’ve rescued and cared for kittens, including helping them feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I also have experience caring for a cat who needed medication and experienced seizures, which taught me the importance of following care instructions carefully, paying close attention to changes in behavior, and staying calm when a pet needs extra care. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and keep an eye on your pet. I’m usually available throughout the day for walks and other services. If my availability ever changes, I’ll make sure to communicate that ahead of time. I currently offer dog walking and house sitting services. When house sitting, I’ll make sure your pet stays comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated while you’re away. I will also treat your property as if it were my own!

About: Hi, I’m Jess! I bring a unique, holistic approach to pet care that focuses on keeping your four-legged family members safe, calm, and completely cared for. Through my business, Salt & Soulistics, I also practice as a Canine Somatic Practitioner, Ayurvedic Animal Wellness Consultant, and Animal Reiki Energy Worker. This means I don't just walk your dog—I tune into their energy, monitor their comfort levels, and ensure that both their physical and emotional well-being are prioritized while you're away. Whether your pup needs a high-energy stroll, a patient and gentle walk for an older or anxious pet, or specialized attention, I adapt to their individual personality and pace. Why choose me to care for your best friend? • Advanced Animal Care Training: I am trained in Canine First Aid & Pathology, Canine Massage, and Palliative/Hospice Care. If your dog has medical complexities, mobility challenges, or requires specific medication schedules, they are in highly capable hands. • Nervous System Regulation: Using simple somatic and energy-work techniques, I specialize in helping anxious, hyperactive, or easily stressed dogs find a sense of safety, calm, and grounding. • Deep Lifelong Experience: Beyond my professional holistic certifications, I am a lifelong animal lover and a dedicated pet parent myself. I understand the trust it takes to leave your baby in someone else's hands, and I treat every client's dog with the same fierce loyalty, kindness, and meticulous care that I give my own. I can't wait to meet your pup and provide them with a soulful, happy, and refreshing break in their day! Pet care isn't just something I squeeze into my day, it is the central focus of my daily routine. As a holistic pet health concierge running my own practice, my schedule is intentionally structured around the well-being of the animals in my care. Because I work independently, I have the ultimate flexibility to prioritize your pup's routine exactly when they need it most. Here is how pet care seamlessly integrates into my weekly life: • Open Daily Availability: I am fully dedicated to housecalls and pet care 7 days a week, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Whether your dog needs an early morning wake-up stroll, a midday wellness break, or dinner-hour companionship, I am reliably available during peak care windows. • Dedicated Midday Windows: My daily rhythm is built around giving pups a refreshing, soulful break right when the workday gets long. I structurally reserve my midday blocks for active dog walking, sensory strolls, and custom wellness check-ins. • Grounded & Paced Bookings: I never overbook my days. I structure my schedule to include plenty of buffer time between visits. This ensures I never have to rush through a walk and can fully dedicate my focus, energy, and somatic grounding techniques to your dog without watching the clock. • Localized Travel Routine: My service routine takes me all around Delmarva and the beach areas. Because I am consistently on the road for home visits, fitting your pup into my daily transit circle is a natural, seamless part of my neighborhood routine. Whether you need a recurring weekly walking schedule or occasional daytime check-ins, your best friend will always step into a calm, reliable, and entirely dedicated routine. Because I care for your pets exclusively in the comfort of your own home, maintaining a secure, familiar, and low-stress environment is my highest priority. I understand that leaving your pet requires immense trust. I design my housecall services to preserve your home’s security while giving your dog a meticulously safe and grounding experience. Here is exactly how I ensure safety and build trust during every home visit: • Meticulous Medical & Care Plan Adherence: If your dog requires complex medication schedules, strict handling protocols, or specialized mobility care, I handle it with precision. With advanced training in Canine First Aid & Pathology, Canine Massage, and Palliative/Hospice Care, I have deep experience monitoring vital comfort signals, handling precise medicine regimens, and managing physically fragile or medically complex pets. • Proactive Home Security Protocols: I respect your space. When entering and leaving, I follow strict door-locking protocols to prevent escape artists from slipping out. I ensure your home stays fully secure before, during, and after my visit, and I am hyper-vigilant about keeping doors locked tightly if any unexpected local deliveries or disruptions happen while I am there. • Individualized, Distraction-Free Walks: I only offer private, one-on-one sessions tailored directly to your pup's unique pace and needs. I completely avoid distracting environments like crowded dog parks or group walks with unfamiliar animals. This strict 1-on-1 focus eliminates external stressors and keeps our entire outing completely safe and controlled. • Continuous Real-Time Communication: I believe that proactive updates build true peace of mind. You will receive detailed updates from every housecall, including real-time text check-ins, fun photos, and specific tracking details about how your pup's session went, what their energy levels looked like, and how they responded to their routine. • Custom Environment Adjustments: Before I leave, I make sure your pup is completely settled back into their safe zone. Whether that means refreshing their fresh water bowl, setting up interactive brain-puzzles/buttons, or using gentle, trauma-informed somatic techniques to ground their nervous system, I leave them calm, happy, and fully relaxed.

About: Hi, I’m Lindsey! I absolutely love long dog walks and spending time with furry friends. I have 4 years of previous professional experience where I was responsible to care for animals that were boarding at a veterinary clinic. I’m comfortable with pups of all ages and sizes, and I can give medication if needed. Whether you’re on vacation or just need an extra hand, I’m here to make pet care easy. I primarily work from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm able to arrange my schedule so that I can care for your pets when they need me most! I know being away from your pet can be stressful for the both of you. Detailed feeding/walking instructions are greatly appreciated so I can stick to your pet's routine as much as possible.

About: Hello, my name is Allegra. I have some free time on my hands and I love animals so I thought this job would be the best fit for me. I grew up with multiple dogs, chickens, goats, rabbits. I currently own 3 ducks, 3 quail, and 6 cats. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, bearded dragons, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, and small snakes. I absolutely love animals and caring for them. I have no problem helping with any special needs or extra care that a pet will need. Both cats and dogs are perfectly fine and I’m okay with taking care of any other animals in the household if needed. I would be happy to be your next helper for your pet! I am currently available most days 7AM to 8PM, but I am open to staying overnight and after these hours if needed. I have a flexible schedule! I feel comfortable coming to your residence in order to care for your animal due to me having multiple indoor and outdoor pets at my home.

“Dina was amazing! Ours was a very last minute request and she was incredibly accommodating on such short notice. She took excellent care of our golden doodle puppy and we could tell that she really cares! She was very responsive and provided updates often during/after her visits. Highly recommended Dina!!”

“Alex was great! She took great care of our dog, and was generous with her time and communication which was appreciated because we were nervous leaving the pup for the first time since moving to the area. Our dog is a cuddler who clearly adopted Alex happily into the pack. Would definitely recommend!”

Joan R.

“Kristin was awesome! I was able to contact her last minute about Stevie and she was able to come out the next day to help me out. Her and Stevie got along the second she walked in. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to leave their pet behind because they’ll be in good hands!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life (primarily bigger dogs), I am super reliable, responsible, communicative, and willing to go the extra mile for your pet to ensure both you and your pet feel at ease! I currently am a college student at Salisbury University pursuing a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education.I am typically available early mornings, mid day, evenings, and any time on the weekends! I am super flexible and can work with you to meet you and your dogs needs. :) I will make sure your dog gets to know me well by being gentle and using a calm voice to ensure trust with your pet!

About: I have loved taking care of friend's and family's pets whenever there is a need. I am very active and enjoy taking walks and playing! As I am a stay at home Mom, my schedule is very flexible. I go on walks with my own dog and play fetch daily! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly black lab to keep your pup company! There is also plenty of room for space if needed.

About: I grew up with a Weimaraner who was our family dog for years. Two years ago, I rescued a puppy from a shelter in South Carolina and trained her myself — she's now energetic, well-behaved, and a total sweetheart, so I know what it takes to work with young, high-energy dogs. We also have two rescue cats at home, one of whom needed to be bottle-fed as a kitten, so I'm comfortable with more delicate or high-needs care too. I've been around dogs and cats my whole life, at every stage — puppies, seniors, and everything in between — and I treat every pet like it's my own. I work remotely, so I'm home most of the day, which means feeding, walks, and check-ins happen on a consistent schedule rather than being squeezed in around a commute or office hours. If a pet needs a midday walk, a bathroom break, or just some company, I'm already there for it. I'm also an active person by nature — I played soccer for years and still love running and being outdoors — so walks and playtime are things I genuinely enjoy, not just tasks to check off. I'm naturally attentive too — I notice when something feels off with a pet, whether it's energy level, appetite, or mood, and I'd rather over-communicate with an owner than assume everything's fine. In my home (boarding): Pets have full run of a comfortable, pet-proofed space — not crated or confined all day. I stick close to their normal routine (same feeding times, walk schedule, etc.) so the transition feels as seamless as possible, and I send photo/video updates throughout their stay so you always know how they're doing. In your home (house sitting): I follow your exact routine — feeding times, walk schedules, medications, and any specific instructions you leave. I treat the house like I would my own: pets stay comfortable in their own space, mail and packages get brought in, and I keep you updated with regular check-ins. Drop-ins & walks: I show up on time and give pets my full attention for the visit — no rushing through it. That means real walks (not just a quick lap), fresh water, playtime, and a few extra minutes of company if they want it. I always send a summary and photos after each visit so you know exactly how things went.

About: Ive been taking care of little to small pups ever since a little girl. Our family has had breeds anywhere from chihuahuas to lab to boxer. Im looking forward to meeting new pups, as well as giving them the exercise and cuddles they need or desire. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out anytime! I love puppies, so anytime is puppy time. But, I'm currently available only early mornings, mid day and evenings. I do have a child at home so that will have to be taken into consideration. I work a 8-4 schedule, but I am free to leave if I absolutely need to. I can definitely do grooming. Your pet will be fed based on owners normal schedule. Dogs can be let out ever 2-6 hours depending on availability. Any rule you apply for your pet to adhere to, I will delegate that.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes pets deserve their own little staycation while you’re away! Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, some backyard playtime, belly rubs on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to stick to your pet’s normal routine — meals, walks, medications, playtime, and all the extra snuggles they’ll allow. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is being well cared for and getting lots of love while you’re gone. 🐾 My schedule is flexible as my husband is a business owner and I work part-time for him, which gives me plenty of time to work pet care into my day. I’m happy to plan visits, walks, feeding times, and check-ins around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Whether you need occasional help, vacation coverage, or regular visits, I’ll do my best to make things easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always come first. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, doors or gates, and anything else that helps your pet feel secure. I’m also very respectful of your home and belongings and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it. 🐾

“Chelsea was wonderful! She was so patient with our hardheaded shepherd mix and really won both our dogs over. Will absolutely request her assistance again and highly recommend her.”

About: Hi there! I’m Cole, a passionate and reliable pet caregiver with years of experience taking care of dogs and cats. I’ve personally cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats and gained hands-on experience at a Doggy Daycare/Hotel. I specialize in providing personalized care, from playtime and feeding routines to extra attention for pets with unique needs. I understand how important it is for your pets to feel comfortable and safe while you're away, and I’m here to ensure they’re cared for like family. I’m available on weekdays and weekends with flexible hours. Pet care fits easily into my daily life, and I ensure every pet gets the time and attention they need, no matter my routine. When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety and comfort. I supervise them at all times, indoors or outdoors, and maintain their established routines for feeding, playtime, and rest. I aim to make their experience as stress-free and familiar as possible.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them part of the family. Until last year, I cared for my own dog, Tank, who passed away at 14. Caring for him through his senior years taught me the value of patience, close observation, and keeping a pet’s routine as comfortable and consistent as possible. Tank occasionally had seizures, which gave me firsthand experience remaining calm, reducing stimulation, helping keep a dog safe from injury, and closely monitoring them while following an owner’s or veterinarian’s instructions. I understand that every pet has their own needs, personality, routines, and comfort level. I’ve also dog sat for family members and truly enjoy making sure their pets receive dependable care, affection, exercise, and companionship while they are away. I’m detail-oriented and will follow your instructions closely. Feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules to favorite toys, training cues, and any special needs, your pet will feel safe, loved, and cared for in your absence. I work part-time as a caregiver for a person with a disability, a role that has strengthened my patience, reliability, and attention to individual routines and needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I can accommodate a wide range of pet-care routines, visit times, and scheduling needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine safe, comfortable, and as familiar as possible. At my home, I have a yard available for regular bathroom breaks and a small park nearby for daily walks, exercise, and fresh air. I do not have any pets living with me full-time. From time to time, I care for my mother’s friendly French Bulldog, Vinny, who enjoys being around other dogs. I will always communicate in advance if another dog may be present and will make sure introductions are handled slowly, safely, and according to your pet’s comfort level. In a client’s home, I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, house rules, and any special routines or needs. My goal is to provide dependable, detail-oriented care that helps your pet feel secure and well cared for while you are away.
