Dog Walkers in Shortly, DE

“Chelsea was awesome. 👏 She paid careful attention to Winston and was patient with him as he was a bit reluctant to walk with a new person. She followed all my instructions and took care of our baby. Will use her anytime I need help with Winston in the future.”

About: I've been the primary person caring for the household dog for over five years now. I have a keen eye for details and a high sense of responsibility when it comes to the care of those who cannot speak for themselves. I also have experience hosting for multi-day sleepovers and managing the dynamics of a small (2-3 dog) temporary pack. I work full time during the week, but am available all major holidays and weekends. I currently walk and feed my dog twice a day, so adding your pup to the routine would be a breeze! Although I don't have a fenced in yard, there is a safe neighborhood nearby where we walk our dog daily. I have one dog currently who has loved every other dog he's ever met and would be happy to share his toys! We do allow pets on the couches & beds, but would be able to crate at night if that is preferred.

“Adrianna did extensive dog-walking with our dog while I was out of town on business. Adrianna did a wonderful job -- she communicated regularly and handled our (big) dog in a kind and experienced way. We were very grateful for Adrianna's help, and we've already booked her for the future.”

“Hailey was great! She came over and took Herm for a walk but with it being so hot they shortened the walk and came back home and played inside. She was prompt with all communication. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a child. I grew up with many pets and many times I was their primary caregiver. I love animals, and would love to help take care of yours! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I could work with set schedules or flexible hours. I can be available throughout the day and night. Since I work from home, I have availability daily to walk or board dogs. I can do long walks outside, play time, and frequent potty breaks. I can also board dogs, I live in a development with lots of sidewalks and grass areas to walk dogs. I keep a close eye on my pets, and always make sure they are safe. From durable toys, to keeping the floors free of anything that could be eaten, I will make sure that all dogs are safe to roam about. The most important thing to me is that the dog is comfortable and happy.

About: Hello ! My name is Annie and I am a long time owner and lover of pets. Since I was 10 years old, I have pet sat for neighbors and families when they went away on vacation or other various outings. As a child, this taught me valuable skills on learning to care for our beloved furry friends, as well as gaining confidence in my abilities to care for different breeds. I have carried these skills and abilities well into my adulthood. I would love to be the helping hand that you need for your pet ! I am currently working as a nanny part-time Mon-Fri. I am available every evening after 4pm. Regarding the weekends, I am available anytime that you need me. My weekend availability is very flexible. I would feel most comfortable caring for the clients pet in the comfort of their home because that is an environment that they know and love. Additionally, I do not have a fence at my house so I think that would be safest option for both the sitter and client.
