Dog Walkers in Spring Valley, DE

“My rescue dog can sometimes be hesitant to trust men but Mark knew just what to do to put her at ease. Mark was punctual and very pleasant and helpful. I will not hesitate to ask Mark to walk Leia again.”

“My Ellie LOVES Joey ❤️ As soon as she sees him her eyes just light right up and puppy-mania consumes the rest of her lol! He is naturally very observant and catches even the smallest changes in her body language, behaviors & bark! Joey started as Ellie's walker, and now he's Ellie's friend, who walks her 💜”

“Anna is such a sweetheart! I rescued an my old girl Bex and she normally doesn’t take to people quickly but Anna knew exactly what to do and how to handle her! I was an avid Wag! Fan and user but honestly I feel more comfortable with Anna watching after my girl(s) she even made sure my cats were inside because of my ocd! She’s fantastic and I’m retiring the Wag! App and sticking to my girl Anna!”

“Jordana is one of the best! She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable as we left our Stella for the weekend. She sent photos and videos. Kept in contact with me throughout her walks. 100% recommend and I can’t wait to book her again in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Maya! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—dogs, cats, and even horses—and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends around age 15, and since then, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I’ve helped raise playful puppies, provided comfort to senior pets, and everything in between. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, relaxing walks, or just a cuddle buddy while you’re away, I’m here to help. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animals. I’d love to meet you and your pet, let’s set up a meet and greet soon! I am currently home from college for the summer and have a flexible schedule to fit your needs! I’d love to work around your busy schedule! I have a fenced-in yard and an extremely playful, friendly English Cream Golden Retriever who is two years old and loves playdates! I also have two cats of my own. Pets in my care get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection in a safe, loving environment. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel right at home. I’ve also had the privilege of caring for a three-legged dog in the past, which taught me how to adapt to special needs and provide compassionate, attentive care for pets of all abilities.

“Heather was great. My pup can get anxious with new experiences, but she made sure he was comfortable and confident on their walk. I’ll definitely look to book her in the future!”

About: I've gained hands-on experience through helping care for my friend’s and relative’s pets over the years. This has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to different animals' needs. Whether it was walking dogs, feeding on a routine, or keeping pets calm, I learned how important it is to provide reliable, loving care. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family—because I’ve seen firsthand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved animal in someone else's care. As a substitute teacher, my summer schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to taking care of your pet. Without a fixed classroom schedule, I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or check-ins. I enjoy having that extra time in the summer to give pets the attention and consistency they need while their owners are away. I always strive to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Before each stay, I ask for detailed instructions and preferences so I can follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I ensure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, playtime, or walks based on their individual needs. Communication is a top priority for me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and reassured throughout my time with your pet.

“Nathan & Meredith are amazing! From arranging meet & greet, communications through app, and the thoughtful notes after every walk, they are really caring to your pets. My dog enjoys spending time with them so much!”

About: Hi! My name is Joelle and I live and work in Wilmington, DE. My partner and I currently have four cats and a beagle/corgi mix! I’ve been pet-sitting dogs and cats for family, friends, neighbors and Rover clients for over 14 years and can’t imagine doing anything else with my free time! I am able to care for and have previous experience with up to 6 animals at a time. I'm currently offering drop-in care and dog walking services, with very limited availability for house sitting. References are available for anyone that is interested and I’d be happy to discuss making adjustments to the services/schedules I have listed if they don't match you or your pet’s specific needs. I work full-time and have a pretty flexible hybrid schedule. Most of my weeks are 3 days in the office and 2 days working from home and these days can be moved around as needed - especially to accommodate house sitting requests! While my work from home days change from week to week, I usually try to work from home on Thursdays and Fridays. For Mondays-Wednesdays when I am in the office I typically have the following availability (with some flexibility): Before 8:00am 12:00-1:00pm After 4:00pm If you feel like I would be a good fit for you and your pets but aren't sure if the schedules would line up well, please reach out! I am happy to switch my in-the-office days with work-from-home days if needed :) My goal while your pet is in my care is to create a relaxing and stress-free environment for them. I prefer to care for animals in their own home so that they are in an environment they are familiar with while also being surrounded by their favorite toys/things. I’m also big on routine and positive reinforcement! In my opinion, following the same routine as normal helps reduce stress on your pet while you’re away and I’m more than happy to recreate those routines for them.

About: The first dog I've had i trained, walked, and took care of her on my own at a young age. Even when she wasn't mine. Im in school at the moment so I have a bunch of free time to check in and walk any dogs in need of attention! I cannot bring animals into my home but I will make sure to follow and rules given to me by the parent in their home.

About: My sisters both have pets that I take care of regularly. Whether big or small, I will play, walk and spend lots of time with them so they don’t feel lonely <3 I’ll be moving out of state at the beginning of August, so just looking to make some extra cash to help with the pricey moving process. I’ll be in Columbia the majority of the summer so my hours are very flexible! I will follow any and all instructions you give me, and I’ll send you lots of pictures and videos while you’re gone if that’s your thing!

“Felipe was timely & thorough with his visits & provided plenty of updates throughout!”

About: Hi, I’m Gina! I’ve been caring for animals most of my life — from cats and dogs to bunnies, birds, and even the occasional reptile. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I meet them where they are with patience, love, and attention to detail. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take pride in creating a safe, stress-free experience while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, medications, or just keeping them company, your pet will be in kind, capable hands. I work remotely most of the time, so I’m available throughout the day on both weekdays and weekends. Your pet will have plenty of company, and even when I do step out, it's never for more than a few hours at a time. I’m also available for early morning and evening care to fit your pets routine. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care. I follow detailed instructions closely to keep routines consistent—whether that’s meal schedules, medications, playtime, or crate training. I make sure pets feel secure and supported while you’re away, and I keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you have peace of mind.

“Jamie was amazing! I really appreciate the love and care he showed my little guy. I would definitely book him again 100 times over. I also appreciate him taking in my package that I had completely forgotten about. I also want to say thank you for alerting me to some concerns he had with Charli itching and not using the bathroom as normal. Once again, I appreciate the time and care that you took with Charli and the fact that you treated him like your own. I look forward to working with you again”
