“Mariah was a perfect host. I felt so safe leaving my puppy with her. Communication was exceptional and she provided videos and pictures to show me what a good time my girl was having throughout her stay. Joni would be more than happy to come here again!”

“Gordie had such a great time at Janet’s house. It was a dream Saturday for him to have a playdate with another friendly dog. We feel very lucky to have found Janet so we could attend a friend’s birthday party on the beach.”

About: I have always grown up with dogs. I’ve helped train my own and have been relied on to watch neighbors’ and friends’ over the years as well! I worked for a dog walking company for over a year. I am a graduating college student with a good bit of free time most days and will be free for most the summer to care for your pets. I will play, pet, and walk with your dogs as needed, and enjoy every second of it. If needed to be in a crate i will place a toy with them and provide a treat if allowed.
“Sol was so amazing with my dog. I cannot thank her enough for going above and beyond taking care of my dog, Teddy. She kept me updated throughout his entire stay and sent me adorable pictures and videos of him. I really appreciate her keeping me informed. My dog, Teddy, is usually nervous at first, but Sol took the time to make sure Teddy was comfortable with her before I left him with her. She responds very quickly to all messages and requests. I am beyond grateful that I found her on this site. I am overly cautious about who is around my dog, and if they are able to take care of him, Sol proved without a doubt that she is to be trusted with my fur baby. I will be exclusively using her to watch Teddy going forward if she is available. Thank you so much, Sol, and Teddy looks forward to seeing you again!”

About: I’ve been around and caring for pets most of my life. Over the years, I have pet sat for friends and family and have been trusted to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving care for both cats and dogs. I also regularly walk dogs down the shore. I recently moved into a one-story, two-bedroom home in a quiet neighborhood and am excited to welcome more furry friends into my care. While my yard is currently unfenced, I am committed to providing safe, attentive, and personalized care for every pet. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of treating every pet like family and providing them with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I am currently a teacher and have extensive availability through the summer. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care as needed. I live with my partner in a quiet neighborhood with a backyard that is currently unfenced. Our home is a one-story, two-bedroom house with a spacious living room and mostly hardwood floors. We currently do not have any pets of our own, allowing us to give your furry friend our full attention and care.
“We needed a sitter for a few hours while visiting Wildwood, and Alexa was great. Super accommodating with our last minute changes in schedules, which facilitaed our planes a lot since we were comming from out of town. Most importantly, Roco went with her without a doubt and came back happy. Not anxious,and saying good bye to her in a loving way. And that for us is the best sign that he was in good care.”

About: Animals are truly all that make me happy these days. I have always loved and cared for all pets in my family, from hamsters to all sizes of dogs. Growing up surrounded by all types of pets has given me a good amount of experience. Waking up bright and early to feed and walk my dogs. As well as saving a few kittens and giving them happy homes! Nothing makes my heart happier than caring for what I love most in this world, animals. They truly are the greatest gift to the world. I am the kind of person who says hi to dogs walking down the street. While helping out some fellow animal lovers when they need assistance, I would certainly give my all! I am currently a student but the classes are fully online so I will have a very flexible schedule! Animals’ needs will always be met first! I have a nice sized yard that is fenced in as well so the pups will be safe! The inside of my home is very spacious for dogs or cats to run around and play! I also do not have any pets at the moment so there is no need to worry if your pet does not get along with other pets!
“Our first meeting was the meet and great and I felt comfortable leaving Franco at Kelly's house for day care. Kelly was caring and friendly to our lab. The property has a large fenced in yard for Franco to run around. He had a room with a door, window and mattress which he napped on. Kelly followed instructions and I felt at ease the time I was away from him. Recommend her highly for dog care, and is located near the shore area for vacationing parents. A+ and four ruffs from Franco.”

“Top tier service! This was my first time using this service and I am so elated I ran into Sterlin. She provided constant communication about the activities she was doing with Bear which made me extremely comfortable and relieved. I also think Bear fell in love as well. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet as if they are there own there’s no need to look any further…YOU FOUND HER!”


“Martha was the best sitter for my dog that I could want. She let me and my dog, Parker, preview her place to see if we were compatible. She sent updates and pics showing how Parker was doing, and kept in touch. Parker came back calm and refreshed. A great experience I’d highly recommend.”

“Max had a great stay! It takes him a while to feel comfortable with people, and Bob and Susan went out of their way to accomodate him. They sent pictures and messages throughout the day, letting us know how he was doing. Highly recommend them!”

About: I absolutely love animals- both my own and other families pets! I moved to Lewes a few years ago from New Jersey and love being active outside and by the beach. My family and I adopted a dog a few years ago and she has brought so much joy to our family. I am very flexible with my daily schedule and around on most weekends and holidays. I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings as well as overnights. I am good with medications and open to any specific needs your pet might have. My cat and dog both have kidney disease, so I have great experience with both oral and injectable medications.
“Kelly was so wonderful! We had her watch our dog Lily so our kids can go to the beach when we checked out of our beach house. She has other dogs that got along great! I will use her again during our next trip to the beach!!”

Mae Ann was super accommodating to our last minute request for a two day sitter, and was such a great friend to our dog Sunny! We got pictures of our happy pup being well taken care of and she had such a great time on the property and with the others! She obviously incredibly experienced and we're so happy with her help!!
