Dog Walkers in Townsend, DE

“Breanna was perfect. She came through for us last minute and took great care of our boy.”

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, including dogs, cats, and horses, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and attentive care, whether that meant daily feeding routines, grooming, exercise, or recognizing subtle signs that an animal might be stressed or unwell. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, temperaments, and activity levels, and I approach every animal with kindness, reliability, and respect. My lifelong hands-on experience allows me to provide safe, loving, and attentive care, so pet parents can feel confident their pets are in capable and compassionate hands. I am currently in nursing school and work part time at two different jobs. Some weeks my school schedule changes so I might have more flexibility! I have a fenced in yard that I use for my dog. I am also able to crate animals as needed and will supervise all interactions.

“Cheryl is always great with our Gumbo. She always gives him her full attention and love. We’ve had nothing but great experiences every time we book with her.”

“Jill was professional, kind, and very easy to work with. Her communication was timely and very helpful. Thank you for spending time with Greyson!”

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: Dog owners and their dogs will love many things about the care that I provide. First, I have always shown love and care to every dog that I have met and all these dogs have responded in a positive manner. Second, I believe in a healthy lifestyle for my dogs (as well as myself, haha) and take my dogs for walks everyday, and feeding them their recommended portion of dog food with minimal people food. Third, keeping my dogs on a daily routine helps tremendously as well as their owners. Growing up I have had a Schnauzer (Mickey), Springer Spaniel (Snickers), Springer Spaniel (Princess), two box turtles (Fred and Wilma), and currently own two Puggles (Liberty & Bell). All the dogs I have trained to not go to the bathroom in the house, and many tricks. I work full-time (7am-330pm) and I am available Monday-Friday before 7am and after 330pm. Saturday and Sunday I will be available all day. If you need more information, please don't hesitate to contact me, Thank you.

I have experience giving medications and following care routines, as both of my dogs are on daily medications.

I also send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. In my younger years, I regularly house-sat and walked dogs for coworkers and friends, helping them feel at ease while they were away. Life got busy with marriage and raising a family, but now that my kids are more independent, I have the time and flexibility to do something I truly enjoy again—spending time with animals and providing loving care when their owners can’t be there. My family and I have four friendly, sweet dogs and some chickens of our own, so I truly understand how much pets mean to a family.

We even have indoor and outdoor cameras as well as an entryway yard and gate for added security. There are many trees so it's pretty cool and shady on hot summer days and plenty of room to explore. And for all you senior pet owners we have a huge handicap ramp leading to my back kitchen door. If you want your dogs to play with others it will be supervised and I’ll give you a full report on how they did. We also go on pack walks daily, weather permitting. A tired dog is a good dog. Want a bath and nail trim before they go home? Just let me know and consider it done. My home is a bi or split level home and I have dedicated one level to my dog care business. Spacious private areas have been mapped out for any dog or family of dogs so they may eat their meals, take breaks and sleep in their own space. I have it set up this way in case there’s any pups who don’t like other dogs, if certain dogs don’t get along or owners who don’t want their dog around other dogs. On the other hand, if your dog is not enjoying their area we can and will make any special accommodations necessary to provide a fun and stress free stay.

You dog will have their own spacious area, where they will sleep, eat and rest. I follow a schedule where your dog will be let out at least 5 times a day, to go for a walk or play outside or to go potty. But, if your dog is having trouble settling in and prefers to free roam, I can and will make any changes in accommodations to make them more comfortable. As far as dogs on the furniture. I go by what you tell me. If they are allowed at home then exceptions can be made to make sure they are comfortable.
