I can promise a safe and caring environment for your best friends! As well as someone who truly cares about giving people the best service possible. I am in school and work part time! However even if my availability doesn’t align with your needs, I might still be available! Due to Rover settings I cannot put in hourly settings, but I am available certain times that I cannot put in the app. I am currently looking for a part time job while I am enrolled in school, and want to do something I love as well ! I have a fenced in backyard, as well as a doggy door so they can have access 24/7! Additionally I have a large neighborhood to take any fur baby’s on walks.

“Lacey is fabulous! He is polite, patient, and flexible. He walked my 89 year old mother’s dog and handled her constantly changing requests with grace and kindness. Her old dog adapted quickly to his visits and waited by the door for him to arrive. He arrived on time for every walk, printed out the schedule for my mom who forgets things, and was just all-around wonderful. I highly recommend him and thank him for everything he has done.”

Evan R.

“I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough! It gives me tremendous peace of mind knowing my dog is in such caring and capable hands. Walker is dependable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog gets excited every time they arrive, which says everything I need to know. Communication is excellent, with updates and photos that make me feel connected even when I’m away. Walker is always punctual, attentive to my dog’s needs, and goes above and beyond to ensure every walk is safe, fun, and enriching. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will care for your pet like their own, Jennifer is the perfect choice. Five stars!”

Around 2005 my sister who has since passed away, got a dog and named him sammy and that is when i fell in love with animals. I saw how much she loved him and how much he loved her back, its a special bond. During her sickness he was by her side constantly and thats something I will never forget.

When he is out of town I am the 1st person he calls to see if someone can dog sit, I always say yes of course. I love dogs and all animals and I'd be honored to meet and help take care of yours.

About: Hi! My name is Ashton and I have 7 years experience in check-in pet care for dogs and cats. Growing up on a farm, I was always been around animals but my love for animals grew even more when I adopted my soul cat, Biscuit. If I could have an house full of pets I would, but unfortunately due to Biscuits medical issues, he requires being the only animal in the house. This is why I love pet sitting so much!! It allows me to love on so many different fur babies! I have experience with all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I can also provide extra patience/attention to animals who may be shy/nervous or may have anxiety (social, separation, storm, etc.) I am knowledgeable on specific special needs such as dietary restrictions and medication administration. As a pet owner myself, I love to provide owners a peace of mind while away from their fur babies, as well as provide reliable care and love to their pet! Can provide excellent references! Can’t wait to love on your fur babies! I currently work from home full time during the week. With my ability to work remotely, I am available during the day, as well as afternoons. Also, have open availability on the weekends. Not providing care in my home at the moment. Only available for care at the owners home due to already having a pet in the home

About: I have experience with Elderly dogs as well as puppies. I have some experience with training and am able to assist with simple commands like sit, stay, and heel. I have experience with reactive dogs as I used to have one of my own, and am very good at soothing stressed animals and keeping them under control. All types of pets are welcome. I live in a more rural area of Wilmington and have a large fence surrounding my house. Most days, my schedule is very flexible and open, and I am able to give my full attention to the pets staying with me. I am a very diligent caretaker, always keeping an eye on the pet and taking time to determine what they need when they express distress. I am very active and love being in nature, so I am happy to take as many walks as might be necessary, go to the park, or even go swimming!

About: I know you’ve heard the same story on here just with a different name attached to it. So I’ll save you the “I’ve been around animals my entire life speech”. If you entrust me with your animals, I will care for them as if they were my own. You’ll never have to question whether they’re being loved, well cared for, and thoroughly spoiled. I pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and punctuality, so you’ll always know your pets are safe and happy. From consistent updates to dependable care, your animals will always be treated with the attention, comfort, and affection they deserve. They truly couldn’t be in better hands. I work a full time job but it is a split schedule so my availability is different than the standard fri-sun availability that comes with having a full time job. I provide attentive, in-home pet care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medication support, litter box cleaning, and companionship, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, giving updates and plenty of love along the way.

“Banjo absolutely loves and waits for Nicole to open the door and take him on a walk. He knows her name before she ever comes which tells me that he’s very excited about the treatment that she does in making him feel comfortable on his walks. what a peaceful feeling for a dog owner to know that their dog is that well taken care of.”
