About: I am an experienced care giver for animals. I worked in a non-kill shelter for three years and cared for all kinds of dogs and cats. I have taken care of the young, old and sick and they all hold a special place in my heart. I can administer any needs for your pup or kitty! I have always had animals in my life wether it’s fostering or gaining a family member. I can make sure that the environment is clean and stress free for your fur baby. My experience with many different animals will aide me in getting to know you and your pet better to provide the best care. Book me today to help me gain a fur friend and take care of your animals.

About: I’ve had dogs basically all my life. I have a lot of experience with puppies and adult dogs of all sizes. I can give medication. I can work on basic obedience with puppies. Or help with pregnant dogs also. I’m available pretty much anytime. I used to be a caregiver for my mom. So I’m pretty much available anytime now. I can be available during the day or evening. I have a very large yard and also have a good size dog kennel. I never leave my own dogs out alone. I also have cameras outside. And inside dogs are welcome to get on the furniture or whatever.

About: I've been working with dogs professionally for almost 1.5 years, but I've also always dog-sat for family and friends. I've sat with dogs from small to big sizes, younger to older dogs, and I've dealt with dogs that have had many different medical issues, including providing medication and insulin. I'm ready for anything, and I'm excited to meet some new furry friends. Pet care is part of my everyday life both at work and at home. I currently work at a dog kennel, so I’m experienced with feeding schedules, exercise routines, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. On top of that, I have three dachshunds of my own at home, which means my day naturally revolves around walks, playtime, training, and plenty of cuddles. Because of this, caring for dogs isn’t just something I do at work; it’s built into my lifestyle. Becoming a public dog sitter is an exciting next step for me, since it allows me to take the skills I’ve built in a kennel setting and apply them in a more personal way, giving each dog the love and attention they deserve. In my own home, caring for pets is a constant part of daily life. I have three dachshunds, so I’m used to keeping up with regular feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and play. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and included as part of the family, whether that means structured walks or just cozy cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the same attentive approach while respecting each pet’s individual routine and needs. I stick to the feeding, walking, and play schedules the owner provides, and I take time to get to know the pet’s personality so they feel comfortable and cared for in their own environment. My goal is always to make the transition smooth for both the pet and the owner, giving pets the same love and structure I give my own dogs.

“Alysa was awesome with Charlie! He got his exercise and some play time with her and he loved it! If I ever need services again I will definitely be happy to have Alysa hang with Charlie when I am out of town!”

About: I have been a pet appreciation magnet as long as I can remember. Even when I am not aiming for the attention, the pets gravitate my way, and i have scritches and belly rubs for them all. I have a rescue of my own for 6+ years now, bichon/poodle mix. Though he had a traumatic start before me, he has adjusted well and is a cuddle bug, and getting better with his socialization with new doggos. I have been a dog sitter for friends over the last 8+ years, when they go on trips. I have experience in minor training, like sit/stay/leash leading, for a few breeds up to 50-70 lbs (no certificates, just repitition and patience). Positive recognition of good behavior and moderate activity (to remedy the bad behavior) when you need me are what I hope to share with your furry family members. I am currently working part-time, so i can set up a schedule of regular pet attention care during part day time hours. Currently I have weekends free if weekend care is requested, though this may change if requests are light. I am working on my house to be able to provide overnight care in the future, making it care friendly for additional furry friends. I have a fenced in, good size yard, and a medium size fur baby of my own to greet stay over friends, though my house needs a little more time for prep before we are ready. I am happy to do drop-ins and day or eve walks at your home, and follow any/all your rules. I respect your needs and want to make sure your fur baby is safe and happy in my care. I keep trainer treats in my car, if we need to practice a few basic commands, as well as water and other care essentials. I have a back seat hammock/cover for the pet's safety when traveling (as needed). I also have a med to large dog kennel I can put in the way back of my SUV if that is preferred for safety and security.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was a kid. My neighbors, friends, and family would always reach out to me to care for their dogs while away or just to walk and let them out on a busy day. I have some experience training dogs, grooming them, and giving medications. I have also helped foster dogs! I am active and love to walk and play with pups but can also act as a great companion or company! I work 3 days out of the week. I am looking to care for pets on the days that I am not working. My schedule differs each week. I am looking for something to keep me busy and entertained on those days! I am safe and knowledgeable when it comes to pet care. I am comfortable coming into your home and handling your pet and of course cleaning up their messes! I love being outside, playing and being active! But I also love hanging out and being a companion when your fur baby needs it.

About: Hello! My name is Lily, and I have been taking care of pets for nearly 12 years. I adopted my first dog over 11 years ago. She had a lot of trauma from before we adopted her, and so have other dogs we have adopted, so I have plenty of experience with anxious “problematic” pets! I have owned 4 rescues in my life which all had their own quirks, and I have also watched dogs and cats for many people in my community. I have watched puppies and senior dogs who need help going to the bathroom. I have watched cats with three legs, cats who always get out, and even lizards! I absolutely love animals and I would love to get to know you and your fur babies. Message me if you have any questions! I’m currently working full-time in Wilmington DE, but unfortunately in this economy that’s not enough! I am available early in the mornings (before 8am), at lunch time, and after 5pm for walks and visits. I can do overnight stays as well, and I am always available on the weekends! Everyone has their own particular preferences for their pet. Some allow pets on furniture or in the bed, and some exclusively use a crate. Some dogs may love walks, while others prefer to run around in the backyard. I have worked with many different owners and pets and I will adjust to whatever is best for your pet! As for me personally, there is a wonderful dog park near my apartment that I take my dog to almost daily, she loves it! She doesn’t love walks and prefers to run around freely, and it allows her to play with other dogs and socialize! Every dog has different needs and I will make sure to meet them.

“Raelyn is an absolute pleasure! She’s incredibly attentive and makes accommodations specific to your pup’s needs. I’m so grateful to have her help me out! She’s also very responsive and sends detailed report cards and pictures every single day. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!”

About: My love for dogs has been with me since I was a kid, but it truly took off when I got into hiking and the outdoors! There’s something magical about seeing a dog’s pure excitement on the trail—the way their tail wags nonstop, the burst of energy as they explore, and that unshakable bond they share with their humans. Watching my friends' dogs thrive on these adventures made me realize just how much I love being around dogs, and soon enough, I found myself pet sitting for coworkers while they traveled. That’s when everything clicked—I wasn’t just helping out, I was doing something that brought me real joy! Over the past two years, I’ve gained a deep understanding of dog behavior, problem-solving, and structured care. I know how important trust and communication are when it comes to caring for someone’s pet, and I always keep owners in the loop with updates and insights into their dog’s well-being. I’ve also developed a strong ability to read body language, making sure every dog I watch feels safe, comfortable, and excited for their time with me! Whether it’s juggling multiple dogs with different needs, sticking to medication and feeding schedules, or adapting to new situations with patience and confidence, I’m always ready to step up and provide the best possible care. Now that I’m back home in New Jersey, I’m beyond excited to continue this journey! I’m always looking to grow, learn, and bring even more love and energy to the dogs I care for. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s something I truly love doing! I can’t wait to meet your pup and make sure they’re happy, safe, and having the best time ever!
