John spent over an hour getting to know my intimidating big 100+ lb cane corso! I feel like both my dog and myself made a new friend. John is confident, patient, caring and a true lover of animals! He goes above and beyond to care for my dog! And can now sit on my couch with Sicario with no problems, It is truly a blessing to find someone like John!! We thank you tremendously!! And he loves his walks with you!! See ya next week!!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves care that meets their unique needs — whether that’s a fun, stimulating walk or a calm, reassuring visit. I’ve raised my own dog from puppyhood to adulthood and spent years learning about enrichment games, and training methods that build confidence and trust. I’ve spent time with multiple rescue dogs and I understand how to give anxious or excitable dogs the space and structure they need to feel safe. During walks and drop-in visits, I tailor the experience to your pet — mixing play, training reinforcement, and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to body language, use calm communication, and always prioritize safety, keeping dogs under threshold and away from stress triggers. Whether your dog thrives on adventure or needs a gentler touch, you can count on me to show up with patience, consistency, and care. I’m also comfortable with basic grooming, administering medication, and supporting senior pets. Your pets are family — and I’ll treat them like my own. I work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility during the day for pet care. I’m usually available on weekdays during normal business hours — great for midday walks, drop-in visits, or keeping pets company while you’re at work. I can sometimes do early evenings or weekends with a little notice. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love spending my free hours making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable during our time together. During drop-in visits, I follow your routines closely — whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medication — so your pet gets the care they’re used to. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and anything else that keeps your pet safe, and I always make sure your home stays respected and tidy. I love sending updates and photos so you can see how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.

About: I got my first dog when I was 18 years old. She was the sweetest pup I have ever met! Since then dogs have become an irreplaceable part of my life. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs & few dogs with behavioral needs. I have fostered dogs through the years and learnt how meaningful this experience can be. My last foster was a young adult who was a year old. Open to pets all day subjected to advance notice/short notice. I'm mostly home so I can be flexible with your routine and needs. A small heads up is always appreciated. I live in an apartment complex which is 5 mins away from 2 dog parks. I'll take your dog for daily exercise and morning, afternoon and evening. I live in a neighborhood which has lots of space to walk for regular/short walks. I have a 7 year old mild tempered female dog who will provide excellent care and comfort while you are away. I can easily crate your dog if needed, I have a large crate.

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 💜

About: I have trained two vivacious pups from 8 weeks old as well as walked a blind senior pug with diabetes. I love to be outside, keep a clean home, and keep a very close eye on any dog I'm with. I may be a bit of a paranoid dog mom to some but pet safety and happiness are very important to me. I'm currently working part time after moving to Delaware from South Carolina to be closer to my partner's family and new job. I am available to walk during the workdays M-F right now. I can board or house sit any evening. I have a fenced in yard. My landlord lives upstairs with three friendly Pomeranians but I have a separate entrance if your pup is not feeling friendly. I have tile and hardwood floors, no carpet.

About: Hi, I'm Leticia and I cannot wait to meet your fur baby! I love all pets and have a big family of my own consisting of pups and cats. I have raised them all and have experience caring for all their independent needs. I know how hard it is leaving pets behind during time away from home and I want to make that experience as comfortable and stress free for both you and your pet. How? I prefer caring for pets in their homes since they are already comfortable and have their favorite napping spots and all their toys handy. This takes away the anxiety of staying in a new home. For pet parents, I will gladly send as many updates as you want including pictures and videos to ease your mind and let you know that your baby is in great care and having fun! I also understand that sometimes life can get hectic and we need more helping hands to take pets for walks. I can guarantee that during our walks, your pup will have a blast while getting their steps in. I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I have a flexible schedule and have plenty of time to play with your pups or take them out for walks any day of the week. I have a small friendly pup who will gladly keep your pup company. I don’t mind sending as many pics or videos as you request to ease your mind.
