House Sitting in Spence

“Kim is an absolute delight. She enjoys pet sitting and our puppy loves her visits. At the very first meeting she sat on the floor with our pup and played with her. While we were away she shared pictures of our pup resting on her lap and updated us during her stay. Our puppy was well taken care of and we will definitely hire her again.”

“I couldn’t have asked for more. Hanna stayed with our two girls - Darla and Hazel - one senior dog and one space cadet young English Setter. We got photos everyday that showed us in an instant that our girls were well taken care of. We like them to be more comfortable at home and having Hanna here with them was wonderful - she brought in the mail and took great care of our home. What a blessing and a treasure. In a heartbeat I’d ask Hanna again. Too bad she’s not available for our cruise this spring! I tried!”

About: I love animals of all sorts, and have had experience working in an animal science program for two years. On top of that, I have had experience with taking care of family and friends pets of different species, like rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I am currently a student at Salisbury University, but currently home in upper Delaware for Winter Break. I am available in the area from 9 am - 11 pm. I would do anything for my own dog, and I will treat any pet with that same attitude. I want all pets to feel as comfortable as they can without their parents.

About: I have had pets my whole life. I have experience with senior pets as well. I work during the week in the local school system so I can do evening or weekends! I work 8 to 3 Monday through Friday. I can help on weeknights or weekends. I can do dogs, cats and horses if need be. I can come right to your residence so no need for boarding! I can stay over on weekends or some school holidays. I can walk dogs as needed too.

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds for my whole life living on our 50 acre family farm. We have horses, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, reptiles and fish! I take care of all of them and provide them with a loving and enriched environment. I can’t wait to meet your best friends, or have them for a visit! Pet care is my greatest passion and second job at home. I spend my mornings out in the fields with my horses and cows pitching hay, mucking stalls, and cuddling in the grass. I spend my evenings snuggled up with my 3 hound dogs on couch or landscaping my reptile and fish tanks for fun. I am open to the needs of all pets as I know people do things in their own way. I will carefully follow the instructions left by the client.

“Absolutely amazing! Melissa and Jordan were so attentive to our pup, Tucker. He loved them so much! They took him on a ton of walks, played in the backyard, and even cared for our chickens too! They sent pictures throughout their stay and we’re so detail-oriented. I felt so at ease knowing our house and animals were so well cared for. Will ABSOLUTELY be using them again!”

“Another great visit. Jacqueline is always communicative and available, which gives me so much peace. We looked forward for next weeks sitting as well.”

About: My name is Carla, I have over four years of pet care experience (working in pet stores, vet clinic's, and volunteering for local shelters. I also am mom to 3 fur babies of my own: My senior dog Dino, my rescue Darla, and my youngest daughter Appa. I have a genuine love for animals and will ensure that your pet receives the love and care they deserve. I will walk, feed, and play with your pet to help you give them the extra care they need while you work or take that vacation. I enjoy being active especially with animals so long walks are a favorite past time of mine even during the cold weather months. I look forward to working with you and loving your pets! Thank you for your time! Carla C. I work from home during the week and have the weekends free! I have plenty of time to drop-in and walk your pets if needed. My dogs are crated during the day while I work. Darla gets 3-4 bathroom breaks, while Appa is still being house broken. As far as my client’s home, all I need to know is what their routine is and I go from there.

“Kaitlyn did a good job with our boy Zeus, our overactive 2yr old Doberman! We would recommend her service for pet sitting!”

About: Rover takes so much of the income - high prices can be negotiated down! I do this regularly and have been for many years! Contact me ! Dog trainer/ care giver 🖤 At home I have two large breed dogs, and one cat who are my absolutely life! In my spare time I am always walking in our local town and doing training sessions as training is my passion! Throughout the week I am nanny- however I was previously for the past 3 years a full time dog trainer at Shore Dog training and a vet tech at Berlin Animal Hospital 🖤 I work consistently 8:30 -5:30 MON - FRI my schedule is incredibly flexible so 3 walks and let outs are always easy to do! As I do not have a fenced in yard, I do heavily rely on taking animals out and about. I do have a crate in my vehicle, because safety is my upmost importance! When we do go out and about, I tend to walk around town and well-known areas! I do not allow off leash dogs or on leash dogs to meet client dogs as It could be a safety concern. However, if the owner is not comfortable with field trips, I do offer different types of enrichment throughout the day kongs, lick Mats, ect as well as a large play area for both cats and dogs at my residence. For more info contact me ! Along side field trips/ outings and enrichment opportunities I offer structured play sessions and LOTS of belly rubs ! I will also do some grooming if you would like!

“Kelsie is a great sitter! Ziggy loves her and is wildly excited when she comes to the door. We're happy to leave him in such good hands.”

About: I provide reliable, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a 15 year old Yorkie mix and a 1 year old Yorkie. My experience includes caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, so I understand everything from basic training and routines to giving extra patience and comfort to older animals. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and keeping pets active, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and check-ins. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets aren’t left alone for long. I’m flexible during the week and weekends, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule and give them the time, supervision, and care they need. I create a safe, calm environment by following each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise pets. In your home, I respect your space while keeping your pet in their normal routine. I also provide updates and can handle special needs like medications.

About: I’ve have taken care of pets since I was a child. I have been with Rover since February 2023.I have a large yard and a little boy who loves animals. We spend a lot of time outdoors. If your pet likes that, they will be able to join us. I have a chain link kennel out in the yard and a lead where they have room to walk around and hang out outside of the kennel too. I work full time. I am available after 5:30 pm Mon-Fri. Weekends I’m free all day! We love animals and can’t wait to care of yours! :) I have a large open yard with an enclosed porch for your pet to lounge and take in the sunshine! I provide morning, evening and bedtime walks and outdoor time.

“Heather C. Was great with our rescue pit bull, our old man beagle, and our ornery cat. The dogs were happy and comfortable the whole time. We will continue to use Heather for our dog sitting needs.”

About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals from Horses to goats, to dogs and cats, to chickens and fish. I have experience with all ages of dogs and cats from newborn to seniors. I am currently the DayPlay Lead at K9 Heeling, rates the “#1 Dog Training Company” on the Eastern Shore, based on The Metropolitan Magazine! I love all animals and would willing to watch any type!! I am currently working full time! I’ve plenty of free time to take care of your pets and make sure they have the best quality care! After all it is what I do for a living! I would prefer to pet sit in your home so that the dog can stay in the comfort of its own home, if at all possible!

About: I have volunteered in the past with a rescue shelter and I loved walking and playing with the dogs. Since we are a virtual school family, my schedule is pretty open and flexible so your pet will get lots of attention and cuddles. I have cared for cats and fish most of my life. I am comfortable with grooming, providing special diets, giving oral medication and inhalers. If boarding, your dog must be gentle and friendly with kids and cats. I have a 4th grader and we recently adopted a kitten. They must be comfortable in an apartment setting with a busy hallway where barking is frowned upon. Cuties who like to be guard dogs might not enjoy staying here if frequent noise is activating. We are usually home most days due to virtual schooling, but occasionally have short outings and field trips. We continue to use pretty strict Covid precautions, like always wearing high-quality masks and running hepa air purifiers. I ask that my clients are respectful of this. I am very flexible and encourage last minute cancellations if any symptoms of illness pop up. Likewise, if we have symptoms or test positive for Covid/flu I will cancel the booking. Luckily, I have only had to do this two times in so many years and will always issue a full refund. We live in a very pet friendly area and are close to great dog parks. Our neighborhood is full of green spaces and sidewalks and the Rock Creek Park trail is directly behind our apartment. We will care for your dog like it is our own. I love taking photos and will send as many as you’d like and will provide updates and check-ins as often as preferred.

“Mariah did a fabulous job with our two fur babies. We came back from vacation to find them happy, healthy and well cared for. She sent plenty of photos. Definitely recommend. She was caring for them in our home and left the house spotless.”

“Jordyn did a wonderful job puppysitting our two furbabies! She kept me up to date and answered in timely manner. From the minute we met, I could tell how loving and caring she would be. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with boarding and/or other pet needs.”
