“Are dogs are not bad dogs but there are 3 of them and they are all rescues and they have their own quirks. They love Lori and we cannot ask for anything more. She takes care of them and keeps us updated and they are happy when we get back. Lori is great!”


“Alyssa was great! She stayed in our house with our dogs for a few days. Our one dog that can be shy and difficult ended up loving Alyssa! She shared pics of the dogs and kept in touch the whole time, which was very reassuring. She did a great job with the dogs, and was always pleasant to talk to! We will definitely be looking to have her help with our dogs in the future.”


“We don’t live in the Wilmington area but were attending a family event and couldn’t take our little dog, Callie. I found Denise and she was such a blessing. We communicated ahead of time and made the arrangements. She was very warm and especially sweet to our dog. She kept me updated during the evening with texts and pictures. I knew she was in good hands so I was able to relax. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Denise and I would never hesitate to have her take care of Callie again, anytime.”


About: Hi! My name is Emma, and I am majoring in Biology with a concentration in Animal Ecology at Kent State. I am passionate about animals of all kinds, and I have experience caring for exotic as well as domestic critters through various internships and volunteering at a local animal shelter! I am a senior at Kent State graduating in December. My class schedule is pretty flexible, so I would be available certain times during the week for walking or drop-in visits. I am available on weekends for house sitting. I am committed to maintaining a safe and happy environment for your pup by following any of your directions and instructions regarding their care. I want to ensure an enriching experience for your pet that will leave them satisfied and happy for when you return to them!

“Teresa was amazing with our dogs! She spent the weekend with them and they truly enjoyed spending time with her. She sent sweet updates and pictures of them too. Which was such a bonus!! We would definitely love for her to watch our dogs again in the future!”


“Julie was amazing!! She took great care of my cats and even made a special trip back to my house when needed. She took all stress away while I was on vacation and I could really enjoy my time away! My cats loved her and I will book with her again in the future if she’s available!!”


About: Hi! My name is Faith, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all types and temperaments. I currently have a high-energy husky of my own, so I fully understand the importance of daily exercise, mental stimulation, and structure—especially for active breeds. I also have experience working with dogs who have resource guarding tendencies and know how to approach them with patience and safety in mind. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s German Shepherd and cats. I’ve also provided ongoing care for elderly pets and cats with a wide range of personalities and needs. I frequently pet sit for friends and family in addition to working full-time as a school psychologist, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—with kindness, consistency, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs a calm, gentle presence or a playmate who can keep up with their energy, I’m here to meet their unique needs. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks so I can provide individualized care that gives you peace of mind. I currently work as a School Psychologist and I am away from home between the hours of 6:15 AM and 3:45PM on week days (Monday through Friday). I am open to pet sitting outside of those hours, and I have open weekend availability. Please schedule at least one week in advance for pet sitting. I will consider last minute booking requests, but my availability may be more limited. I currently do not offer boarding services because my personal dog battles with resource guarding behaviors and does not do well with other dogs. I am happy to pet sit for you in your home!

About: I have rescued two senior, nine year old, brother dogs in 2019, and they are absolutely thriving. I have also taken in a sixteen year old cat from my grandfather, and I currently live with three disabled cats. I am currently working on selling some things online, which means my schedule is completely flexible and lets me go out and take care of what I need to do, including taking care of pets! I quadruple check that all doors are closed, that there is plenty of water and food available, checking for any messes or hazards like yarn, magnets, reachable food containers, and I ALWAYS use a leash when necessary.

About: It won’t let me change my profile but i currently do not live with any pets but dogs are my favorite pet ever. i’ve watched many many dogs in my life and it is always the best. I’m more than capable of loving and caring for your pet! I have had 3 dogs in my life and currently have two but i’m away at school. I’m in college currently but i have two dogs back at home. I’m obsessed with them and love them so much. I’ve also managed to train them very well. I’ll do whatever you need to make you feel comfortable with me taking care of your pets. I’m very understanding and will do my best to make your pet feel safe and loved.

“Great experience with Carson! We had traveled out of the country for 6 days & had left our dog & cat under Carson’s care! He did a great job with both animals, was responsible & reliable throughout the process. This was our 1st time using Rover & it exceeded our expectations. Carson stayed at our home during the trip overnight & took good care of it. He brought in our mail & was respectful of our space during his stay. We are very grateful & happy to have found him & would recommend him to others!! Thank you so much Carson! ?”


“It was such a relief to have Aidan caring for my dogs at my house while I was gone on my 8 day vacation. My pups are 14 and 11 years old and have special dietary and medical needs and he was able to keep them well fed, medicated and happy! This was the first time in their whole lives that I didn't have friends or family available to watch them, but I didn't have to worry as Aidan sent pictures and kept me up to date on how things were going. If I am in this situation again Aidan will be the first person I reach out to!”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s been for family, friends, or neighbors, I’ve always been the one people call when they need someone dependable and loving to look after their pets. From walking energetic pups and playing fetch at the park, to keeping senior pets comfortable with medications and gentle care, I treat every animal like my own. I’ve cared for shy rescue cats who needed extra patience, and I've spent countless hours cuddling, playing, feeding, grooming, and making sure each pet feels safe and loved while their humans are away. Over the years, I’ve provided drop-in visits, overnight care, daily walks, and even last-minute help when emergencies popped up. I truly enjoy building a bond with every pet I meet—and nothing makes me happier than earning their trust (and a tail wag or happy purr!). You can rest easy knowing your pet will be cared for with kindness, attentiveness, and lots of love. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon This is currently my full time job, so my priority is for you to rest easy knowing your pet will be cared for with kindness, attentiveness and lots of love! Whatever your preference is! Whether you keep your pet on lead or allow them to run freely in your yard, I have experience in both!

About: Ive had dogs all 18 years of my life. Currently I hav 5 dogs all medium sized dogs which is a lot of cleaning and attention. I have an Axolotl right now who is a few years old and have had lots of fish and a few cats over the years. Animals living with me or pets I have always considered family and I would treat anyone else pet with love, care and respect just as I would want for my own "babies". I am a college student so pet care fits into my daily life perfect and helps me make cash for college while having enough time to focus on school work. I am available as I have no other focus like a job as of right now so my hours are pretty open. I would always call or text if there was ever a concern or question and wouldnt do something that wasnt talked about before. I am always loving to animals and would never want the owner to worry about the dog or fish's safety while my care. I am loving to all animals and would be interested in working with animals i've never worked with before. I would love a chat over the phone or in person the first time and may bring my mom or boyfriend just to ensure my safety the first time us meeting but would love to go over all the do's and don's for your pet.

About: I have been around animals, exotic and domestic, since I was taken home in the carrier. Animals are my passion and there’s no animal that doesn’t need loved! I am a first responder with no set schedule, so I would like to spend my free time with animals and helping people out if they are needed. I couldn’t think of a better way to help out! I am very flexible on my off days and would be willing to go above and beyond for your pet. I understand some pets require certain things that may be different or difficult, but I would be absolutely willing to work through that! Walking dogs, doing litter boxes, playing fetch, and giving attention are all my specialties!
