Tracie took care of our two elderly cats while we were away for the week. She went above and beyond to set our minds at ease...meeting them ahead of time, taking copious notes, and sending us photos/updates. I knew they were in good hands which freed us up to truly relax while away. Tracie even offered to take in our mail and water the plants. A professional through and through. I would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Tracie!!

Definitely took care of my fur babies they were not anxious when I got back home which is a relief. I only critic would be of the amount of times my door alerted me of in and out home alerts (not ones of taking out trash which makes me anxious) and would like more photos next time. But other than that kitty care 10/10. And like I said next time as in, I would have her take care of my babies again!💕 very sweet lady. Very responsive. And knows what’s she is doing.

Mike did a great job for us. We were away for an extended vacation. He kept us well informed about our cats but also things at our home. A neighbor left mail on our porch and an outdoor ornament blew off our house. He notified us on both issues. The ornaments were brought in and he checked our community mailbox to confirm our mail was being held by USPS. During our vacation we received a boil water notice; We informed Mike and he brought bottled water for our pets. It’s the second time we used him and I’m sure we will be using his services again.

Aleisha is so great! She took the time to meet our dogs ahead of time and get the lay of our house. She manages all 4 of our pups with ease! Our dogs range from puppy to senior, and she takes good care of all their individual needs. She is always on time and so flexible with our changing schedules. She communicates everything and takes the best pics during her visits! Book her now :)

About: I have such a huge passion for creating an environment where your pet can be happy and healthy. No matter what kind of age or disabilities or temperaments, I can handle all. Ever since I could remember I have had pets all my life, everything from cat to dog to rabbit and even birds, and each and every one of them has lived or is still living the best life. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule can be a little messy but I will have time to take care of your pups wants and needs! At my home I have a fenced in yard and have many crates, and at your home as long as I have directions on how to care for your pet I can work in any environment.

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and have spent most of my adult life volunteering for 2 animal rescue organizations. I fostered over 170 cats for my last organization (that was over a period of 15 years!) caring for all ages as well as taking in some with medical needs. I'm skilled at administering medications of all sorts and we currently have an asthmatic cat that takes an inhaler. I've been a "cat person" my whole life, but love dogs too! My husband and I love the large breeds, in particular Mastiffs. We currently have 3 cats plus a Mastiff who is the biggest baby. :-) We recently moved to Delaware (from just outside of DC) and I'm looking to re-start pet sitting as I LOVE meeting new furbabies and taking care of them. I used to pet sit in VA but put it to the side when fostering took up most of my free time. I recently took an early retirement and have plenty of free time so can offer flexibility. Since I'm married my husband helps takes care of our own cats/dog, and he understands my love of animals and desire to help others. I understand that every cat/dog is unique, with their own personality and needs. I will take the time to get to know each one and tailor my approach to ensure their comfort level,

About: Animals have always been part of my life. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been caring for cats for the past 18 years, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, breeds, and care needs. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy pups to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I also care for cats, fish, and reptiles, and understand that each type of pet has its own routine and environment that needs to be maintained. I have experience administering medications, including oral medications and injections, so I’m comfortable caring for pets who require extra attention or specialized care. When caring for your pets, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, habitat checks, or simply providing a calm presence, I adapt to what each pet needs most. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and give you peace of mind while you're gone. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet and greet—I’d love to meet you and your pets! 🐾 I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan pet care throughout the day between meetings and other responsibilities. This flexibility makes it easy for me to provide reliable drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and care. Because I’m home-based, I can often accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits to match your pet’s normal routine. Caring for animals is already part of my daily life since I have experience caring for my own pets, so incorporating visits, feeding schedules, and check-ins throughout the week fits naturally into my routine. My goal is always to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or habitats, and plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship based on their personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I also have experience administering medications, including oral medications and injections, for pets that require additional care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe environment and making sure pets feel secure while their owners are away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. 🐾

About: I can’t remember the last time I’ve lived without dogs. I’ve been dog sitting for family friends for years now and love love love spending time with them. I currently don’t have a job so i’m free majority of the time! Very flexible schedule. I can do potty breaks during the day and so on! I’ve cared for my own dog at home for many many years and I’d do the same for any other pup! I can do overnight visits and more.
