“Jenny was fantastic! My dog felt right at home and the updates that Jenny sent put my mind at ease. Whenever I have boarded her in the past, my dog has come home stressed and exhausted. This was not the case! She came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Jen is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She is so good with handling dogs, even when mine has an attitude sometimes, and she always communicates with us very well and sends lots of pictures. Our dog loves her and we will rebook her again!”
“Jilesa is simply awesome. I love her little farmette and all her animals. Shorty is a very active dog and meeting the different animals certainly kept him entertained. She had given him a bath, ( he is part Shih Tzu and has white curly hair), and trimmed his nails before I picked him up and he looks like a big fluffy snowball! He came home and took a long nap which is unusual for him so I know he was a busy little man. Don’t hesitate to engage Jilesa; she and her husband are definitely animal lovers and will take good care of your pet. 10 out of 10 stars!!”
“Emily is awesome. Our 8 month old pup stayed with her for a week while we were away and had such a great time! They had a doggie pool party day and we were even able to opt in to some additional adorable doggie craft activities. Highly recommend!”
“Teresa was amazing! From our beginning communications pre-booking, throughout the stay, and pickup was nothing short of a stellar experience! Teresa is very accommodating to your/dogs personal needs. Teresa is very attentive during drop-off. Teresa sends you frequent pictures of your dogs during their stay which really goes a long way in helping you feel at ease while you are away. Teresa provides a very smooth pickup. Very gracious sitter, professional with tons of experience! Looking forward to my next worry-free booking with Teresa!”
“Kari was an awesome sitter for Brew! She accepted our request at the very last minute (much appreciated) and her family showed him a ton of love while he was there. She’s a great communicator and very caring. Brew came home so tired from all of their adventures. Thank you!”
“I'd give more than five stars if I could. Rachael looked after my two cats for a long weekend. One is very shy and timid in new places, and the other is needy and cuddly but can sometimes decide she'd rather hiss at you instead. Both were cared for with patience and understanding, and with more time I think they'd probably decide to stay there permanently. Thanks Rachael for being so accommodating!”
“I would definitely recommend Sureya to keep your pet. My Koda is very shy, barks at most people especially men ?. When I dropped him off he never barked. He went right to her. She’s very warm and inviting and i would absolutely rebook with her.”
“Jill and Tommy took wonderful care of Zora during her stay. Their frequent picture updates made us feel connected and assured. Thank you for providing such a loving environment!”
“I really appreciate Kara boarding my pups at the last minute for the holidays. Kara took really good care of my pups. Kara kept me updated with lots of pics to keep me updated with what was going on in their day. The best part they provided transportation to and from my home.”
“Brittany took great care of Chewy during our vacation! He looked happy in each picture she sent while we were away. He even took his 1st swim! She has a wonderful yard to explore and I can tell her family loves animals. I looked forward to her pictures and updates daily. So glad I found her at the last minute and we will absolutely use her services again! Thanks again Brittany!”
“Zackie is absolutely exceptional. Provided excellent communication and is super friendly and welcoming as well. I would defenitely recommend for others & and would rebook for myself. Can’t thank her enough.”
About: We have been a dog family for the past 11.5 years! We love our dogs so much! We have an 11 year old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix and a 2 year old Aussiedoodle. They are sweet and fun and love other dogs! We have 4 kiddos as well who love caring for the dogs including our 12 and 11 year old girls who love taking the dogs for walks! We are a homeschooling family so we are home most of the time and don't kennel our dogs at all while we are home! We have a huge fenced-in backyard that the dogs love to roam and run around in! Playing fetch in the back yard is a highlight in our home!
“Absolutely professional , greeted us with a smile , on tine upon drop off and pick up . Sent photos to assure my pet was safe and happy . Titus did not want to live Lananda when I came to pick up . 😊😀”
About: My schedule can be flexible so please let me know what you need and I'll be sure to let you know if we can make it work! I have owned a couple dogs in the past and dog sit for my family and friends all the time. We currently have two cats that are dog friendly, or tolerant. We’d love to host your fur babies with us for a long weekend to let you get away. I work full-time Mon-Fri so would mostly be available for weekend boarding, Fri-Sun. I am available for drop in visits or walks during the week after 5pm. We have a fully fenced in yard with tons of shade and multiple rooms and spaces to separate animals as needed. Dogs are TOTALLY allowed on furniture and we have healthy treats as their diets allowed. Big neighborhood for walks (with sidewalks) and the pavement is always tested on my own skin before their precious paws. I have lick mats and kongs for mental stimulation and love to fill them with protein and veggies.
About: My name is Taryn and I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, horses, fish, chickens, and small snakes. I have two young adult daughters that live at home and share the same passion as I do. I do have a 7yr old mix of my own that enjoys playing with others. If your dog happens to not be dog friendly, no worries; I provide in home dog care, drop in visits and dog walks! My home is clean, quiet, and pet proof. I have a large back yard with plenty of room for your best friend to run and play. We even have trails nearby where we can go on fun adventures! Pets will have free roam of the house so they don’t feel left out, after all they are apart of the family. Your pet(s) will never be alone or feel scared with me as their sitter. I work full time during the week. But I’m available weeknights for drop-ins, walks, and daycare. I’m available Fri-Sunday for the above as well as in home and in my home boarding. I have a large yard and a friendly dog for your pup to play with. If needed, I also have a crate. I don’t like crating my dog so prefer not to crate yours unless instructed by you for specific reasons. Of course they’ll be let out often to use the bathroom and have unlimited access to water. In your home, your pet will be let out when needed/scheduled if they have one, played with, and loved on. No matter where we are, my goal is to make your pet feel safe.

“My pets Daisy and Missy were very happy when Delany would make her daily visits. Delany was always on time and very conscientious with making sure the kitties had fresh food and water and clean litter boxes. Delany went the extra and made sure they had lots of playtime and most important sent me lots of pictures with her update. I’m very happy with the care my pets received with Delany and would love to have her care for my kitties the next time I travel.”
“We absolutely loved Deanna. She did everything that we asked plus more. I really looked forward to her updates and pictures every day. She got some really great pics. We will definitely be hiring her again. Just a wonderful overall experience thank you so much, Deanna.”
“Samantha was so good with my 10 year old cat who recently started medication and needs to take it twice a day at very specific times. She came out for a meet and greet on short notice to make sure my cat let her administer her medication before I booked and she really gave me peace of mind for my trip. This was the first time I had used rover and my cat is not used to being by herself so I was really nervous but Samantha was always punctual, spent the full 30 minutes twice a day playing with her, brushing her, and giving her all the pets, and sent updates consistently so I definitely recommend Samantha! Can’t thank Samantha enough!”
“Rachael was amazing! couldn’t have asked for anything more from her, they would send me updates and pictures multiple times throughout the day and it felt like i left my cat with a friend rather than a stranger. She made poseidon feel very comfortable and welcomed? i would definitely recommend and would 100% use her services again if i ever need a cat sitter. Thank you so much Rachael!”
About: I’ve taken care of several cats in my life, and now have the pleasure of having my own cat! I have experience with kittens, adult and senior cats. I love spending time with my cat playing with toys, brushing him and cuddling. He’s my greatest friend.
“Elizabeth is amazing! Excellent communication and goes above and beyond! She not only took excellent care of my cats, but offered to bring in mail and other household tasks. Will be using again in future trips!”
“This was our second time booking with Christina, and it was our first time going away now that both of our cats require daily oral medications. They’re also not super friendly when it comes to strangers, but with Christina’s knowledge and suggestions we came up with a plan that made us feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. She did a fantastic job giving them all of their medicines, and spending time with them, and her clear communication each day always left us feeling like we made the right choice.”
About: Over the past several months, I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions. Every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have experience administering medications to senior dogs and understand the importance of following care instructions carefully and consistently. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. When I house sit, I also take great pride in caring for your home. I always aim to leave it cleaner than I found it, so you can come home to happy pets and a tidy, well-cared-for space. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing both your furry family members and your home are in caring, reliable hands. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week as well as house sit for as long as you need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.
“We absolutely love Liz! She’s been so patient and gentle with our little Kenny & Seth, which means the world to us. Kenny can be a bit shy, but Liz takes her time and always makes sure he feels safe and cared for. We also really appreciate the detailed notes and adorable pictures she sends — they give us so much peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear she truly cares, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
About: Hi! I'm Jordan, a lifelong animal lover with a special appreciation for cats and their unique personalities. I understand that every cat is different—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship and routine. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Whether that means feeding, litter box maintenance, play sessions, administering basic care, or simply providing company, I'll treat your cat with patience, kindness, and respect. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your feline family member is in good hands.

From my baby Miniature Pinscher to my Great Dane I am capable of providing individualized care. I am currently a student athlete at DSU. I ride on the equestrian team so after my one in person class I am typically in and out of the barn with lots of time to spare as everything else I do for school is online. Pet care fits into my routine as a priority. I recently moved to Dover for school, and miss my dog terribly. Prioritizing your dogs in my schedule is not just a job for me, but a source of happiness! We have a large backyard for fetch and a safe neighborhood for walks and adventures! One block over we have a small park area as well. We have no other animals in the house, just four college girls who are all missing our companions from home. In the house your dog can roam freely about and sleep in my room/bed with me, whatever they are comfortable with.

About: Hi! We are Hannah and Bierina. In order to provide the most flexible care possible, we work together to care for your fur babies. Quality care for animals is our forever top priority. Between us, we have trained puppies, had many senior dogs and dogs with special needs. (Epilepsy, etc.) Our biggest goal is to work with you to hear what works for your pet on the daily and find a way to recreate that in the new environment or match that in theirs! This way your fur babies know that they are safe, and the change of carer and environment creates the least amount of stress possible. I currently create my own schedule so I am able to facilitate flexibility around your pets and their established routines. I will work with you to make it as seamless as possible. I care for pets by ensuring I am communicating with their parents about their daily schedules and expectations; trying to replicate those typically ensures pets feel the most comfortable with consistency!

It is my mission to treat your babies with the same amount of love, respect, and compassion that I would hope somebody would give to my own. I believe that behavior management, if necessary, should always be rooted in consistency and positive redirections. My Experience: Beyond being a cat and dog mom, I have years of experience with long term cat and dog sitting. I am experienced and comfortable with any age of pet, from puppies/kittens to senior animals. I have some basic experience with training from my own pets. My Schedule: Until my summer ends, I am available almost daily. Once school starts, I am available on weekends and week day evenings. During these times, I can do check ins, feedings, walks, play times, or overnights. I am comfortable with week day overnights, if your pet is able to be alone during my typical 8 hour work day.

About: I grew up on a farm in Maryland and were around animals daily! My business is financially affordable and will give you peace of mind that your pet or pets will be taken care of when you are not at home. I’am not working anywhere else at this time and have the time to love and care for customer’s pets. I will follow all my customers instructions to ensure their pets safety and general well being. Sorry I don’t watch pets in my home. I feel your pets are more comfortable in their own homes. Pets feel more relaxed in their own environment.
About: I’ve taken care of different types of cats and dogs over the past 10-15 years, as I love animals! I feel I have a good bond with the animals I meet and am aware of signs from animals if we just don’t click - and that’s okay! I’m open to meeting you and your animals, hoping we are a good match and that I can assist you with your animal care needs. I’m currently working part time during the week so I will have plenty of time to provide the needed walks for your dogs! I am open to checking in on your cats as well! The cats that I currently have are both indoor cats, they have plenty of toys to keep occupied with and food/water to nibble on. My 2 dogs also have their toys, food/water and fenced in yard to make their days a fun and comfortable as possible! I love animals and treat every one that I have with respect and care.
About: Hello everyone! I am an animal lover, I grew up around animals all my life. Our furry friends are extended family members. I hope you entrust me with your furry loved ones. I am currently an active college student, but I have somewhat situated myself with a work-life balance. I am available and flexible for weekdays and weekends! I currently have a kitten almost a year old. Having him has taught me patience, and having complete responsibility. Milo is my profile picture! I feel as though I am completely up to any challenge, I hope I can help with your furry loved ones!
About: I was raised around dogs since childhood, and have always been involved with animal rescue since I had my own place. We have dogs and cats of our own, and they enjoy having fluffy friends to play with as much as we do! I’m currently available during the day full time, and only work part-time at night. So there’s a lot of availability for either dog walks, emergency boarding needs, or doggy daycare options. We have a fenced in yard out back, and crate-and-rotate when needed. I am experienced in handling all behaviors of dogs, from the fearful/shy to the escape artist.
About: My schedule can be flexible so please let me know what you need and I'll be sure to let you know if we can make it work! I have owned a couple dogs in the past and dog sit for my family and friends all the time. We currently have two cats that are dog friendly, or tolerant. We’d love to host your fur babies with us for a long weekend to let you get away. I work full-time Mon-Fri so would mostly be available for weekend boarding, Fri-Sun. I am available for drop in visits or walks during the week after 5pm. We have a fully fenced in yard with tons of shade and multiple rooms and spaces to separate animals as needed. Dogs are TOTALLY allowed on furniture and we have healthy treats as their diets allowed. Big neighborhood for walks (with sidewalks) and the pavement is always tested on my own skin before their precious paws. I have lick mats and kongs for mental stimulation and love to fill them with protein and veggies.

“Jenny was fantastic! My dog felt right at home and the updates that Jenny sent put my mind at ease. Whenever I have boarded her in the past, my dog has come home stressed and exhausted. This was not the case! She came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Jen is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She is so good with handling dogs, even when mine has an attitude sometimes, and she always communicates with us very well and sends lots of pictures. Our dog loves her and we will rebook her again!”
“Jilesa is simply awesome. I love her little farmette and all her animals. Shorty is a very active dog and meeting the different animals certainly kept him entertained. She had given him a bath, ( he is part Shih Tzu and has white curly hair), and trimmed his nails before I picked him up and he looks like a big fluffy snowball! He came home and took a long nap which is unusual for him so I know he was a busy little man. Don’t hesitate to engage Jilesa; she and her husband are definitely animal lovers and will take good care of your pet. 10 out of 10 stars!!”
“Emily is awesome. Our 8 month old pup stayed with her for a week while we were away and had such a great time! They had a doggie pool party day and we were even able to opt in to some additional adorable doggie craft activities. Highly recommend!”
“Kari was an awesome sitter for Brew! She accepted our request at the very last minute (much appreciated) and her family showed him a ton of love while he was there. She’s a great communicator and very caring. Brew came home so tired from all of their adventures. Thank you!”

“I really appreciate Kara boarding my pups at the last minute for the holidays. Kara took really good care of my pups. Kara kept me updated with lots of pics to keep me updated with what was going on in their day. The best part they provided transportation to and from my home.”

So glad I found her at the last minute and we will absolutely use her services again! Thanks again Brittany!”

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine, and caring for them is more than just a job to me. With 12 years of pet care experience, I provide loving, dependable care and treat every pet as if they were my own. I enjoy spending time with animals, keeping them happy, comfortable, and safe while their owners are away. I currently own my own business, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’ll treat your pets like part of the family and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my priority. I’m a proud German Shepherd owner, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us! We have two acres where my dog gets plenty of room to run, play, and enjoy his daily zoomies. I’m very hands-on and love spending time outside playing, exercising, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’ll treat your pet like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care.

We love being able to leave our dog with him, always knowing she’s getting the best care and attention when we’re away. He also always leaves us with great care tips and suggestions. Thank you, Rackeem!”

About: My name is Taryn and I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, horses, fish, chickens, and small snakes. I have two young adult daughters that live at home and share the same passion as I do. I do have a 7yr old mix of my own that enjoys playing with others. If your dog happens to not be dog friendly, no worries; I provide in home dog care, drop in visits and dog walks! My home is clean, quiet, and pet proof. I have a large back yard with plenty of room for your best friend to run and play. We even have trails nearby where we can go on fun adventures! Pets will have free roam of the house so they don’t feel left out, after all they are apart of the family. Your pet(s) will never be alone or feel scared with me as their sitter. I work full time during the week. But I’m available weeknights for drop-ins, walks, and daycare. I’m available Fri-Sunday for the above as well as in home and in my home boarding. I have a large yard and a friendly dog for your pup to play with. If needed, I also have a crate. I don’t like crating my dog so prefer not to crate yours unless instructed by you for specific reasons. Of course they’ll be let out often to use the bathroom and have unlimited access to water. In your home, your pet will be let out when needed/scheduled if they have one, played with, and loved on. No matter where we are, my goal is to make your pet feel safe.
“She was wonderful sent pics of her dog and my dog playin together and even asked questions like what time does he eat how often go out and things like that. I would recommend her and will be using her services again.”
