“If you’re looking for the best in Milton, DE, look no further. Jessica by far is the BEST!! I have a senior bichonpoo who is fussy and Jessica cared for him so well. I knew he was in good hands when I brought him to her house on the first day and he didn’t want to leave. I received pictures and he looked so happy and rested. Thank you for taking such excellent care of my special baby, well senior dog. Will be back when I go to Bethany Beach, DE again. Tiki misses you already! Jessica is such a lovely person too!!”
“Wonderful experience. We were able to leave our Corgi Fiona with Michele, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Fiona was so entertained by Michele’s guests, that she overstayed her customary bedtime for an hour, to play with the children. We feel so fortunate to have Michele’s love and care for our dear Fiona.”

“We were a bit apprehensive about leaving our 2-year-old Cavapoo, Ollie, with a sitter for the first time, but Sylvia put our minds at ease the moment we met her. She is incredibly caring and attentive. I loved receiving the photo updates showing Ollie happy and enjoying his stay—it meant I didn't have to worry about him at all! I can’t recommend Sylvia enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“My 2 girls were so happy with Sandee, i could not have asked for better care of my two spoilt pups! I am very grateful to Sandee for taking my girls for the afternoon, which freed us up to do the necessary things related to purchasing a home. I won't hesitate to go back to Sandee and trust her with my precious fur babies. Thank you Sandee!!!!”
About: I am a proud pup and kitty parent. I have been taking care of pets professionally sine 2005. I provide daily dog walking, doggie boarding and kitty pet sitting services in the Milton area. Fabulous references to attest to my quality care. Contact me for a free consult. I look forward to adding you to the Animal Lovers family! I accept dogs that are friendly to all dogs and humans. No aggressive behaviors. I also can only accept potty trained dogs. I can administer medications and only work outside the home part-time so can easily provide potty breaks and walks every 4 hours. My dog Benny is very friendly and loves doggie company! I am available for daily dog walking Monday thru Friday and petsitting 7 days per week. I am available for boarding as schedule permits as I only take 1 dog, dog family, at a time. I have a home in Milton with a 6 foot privacy fence. I have 1 pup, a Yorkie poo who is used to welcoming fun pup friends. I am never out of my home more than 4 hours when I have pup boarders. Your pup(s) is my priority and treated like a member of my family.
“Staying with Kelly and her family was perfect for Eva. She and Kelly’s dog, Charlie had a great time together. Just as I had hoped, she was totally wiped out from all the running and playing.”
“Janice lovingly watched our 1-year old dog, Libby, as an overnight boarder for 3 weeks while on extended vacation. Highly recommend. Janice is super attentive, sent daily updated with even pictures of Libby playing and sleeping with other dogs. Upon return Libby was happy, well-groomed, and healthy. Thank you Janice! We will be back.”
“Paige was great. She was available on short notice and was accommodating to a weird drop-off time due to bad weather. She was attentive to my animals needs and it was obvious my pup had a great time with her. She sent tons of pictures and videos and gave comprehensive daily updates. I would absolutely recommend this sitter and will be using her again in the future.”
“Mary Sue is a trusted dependable sitter for our dog Dory. Dory loves going to Gram’s house, and gets all the love and care she receives at her own home. Thank you!”
“Marlee had a wonderful stay with Brenda (her second stay). Brenda truly loves the pets she cares for and has a very laid-back style. Her home is perfect for my senior dog.”
“Kelly was very professional and communicative through the entire stay. She even took the extra step to have an additional helper as she knew this would be our puppy’s first overnight stay and wanted to make his stay as comfortable and safe as possible. We really appreciate all the photos she provided and so happy Finch had the best time! We can’t recommend her enough. Thank you!”
“Carlie was a pleasure to work with and was super communicative with me for our Goldens care...She was also flexible and understanding when an unexpected sickness arose (which was not related to her care in any way) Would recommend her and will use her again for sure!”
“Bob and Susan went above and beyond to make my 13 year old American Eskimo feel at home. He is an overly anxious dog and he did wonderfully with them. My boyfriend went to pick him up and witnessed Monty running around being a dog with several other dogs (I have never seen him do this). We would highly recommend Susan and Bob. Thank you so much”
“Camp Michelle as we now call Callie’s little vacation spot was just perfect. She is attentive to our dog’s little quirks - we have a needy Labrador Retriever. Our dog is not used to staying away from home. However she had a blast at Michelle’s. This was our first time working with Michelle and we will be back for sure. If you are looking for a real “dog person” then go to Michelle. She is AMAZING!”
“Desi’s time with Marvina was like a dream vacation for him — lots of open (fenced-in) space to explore, a small number of dog friends to play with, and best of all, a loving caregiver. This was our first time leaving Desi for a week, but we knew he was safe and happy. And we got daily updates and pictures. Marvina is terrific!”
“Paula helped us out with a last minute booking, she was incredible! Quick and clear communication! From my mom: “she's amazing sent me about 4 pictures letting me know he was such a good boy and getting along with other dogs. I was so happy to have her do that for me. Really happy with her! Definitely gonna use her again” thanks Paula!!!”

“Jessica is a fabulous pet sitter! I had a family emergency and had to leave town quickly. She stepped in and visited my cat immediately, giving me such relief. I can rely on her and that is everything!”
About: Cat Boarding: Your cat’s comfort and sense of security are my top priorities. I only care for one family of cats at a time, whether that’s one cat or several cats who live together. I do have cats and a dog of my own, but your cats will be kept completely separate from them. Your cats will have their own private bedroom upstairs, where my dog is not allowed, giving them a quiet and comfortable space that is all theirs. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day and am able to give your cats plenty of attention and care. I can administer medication as well. Welcoming both overnight and long-term stays, I will give your cats plenty of individual attention while keeping their routine as familiar as possible. My goal is to provide a safe, peaceful, and comfortable home away from home where your cats can truly relax while you’re away.
“Thank you so much!!!!! Lori is so caring, making sure everything with my cat was perfect while I went away. She is invaluable, my cat does need to take medicine and Lori ensured she took her pill when needed. I would recommend to anyone that would need assistance with their pet.”
“Jacob did an outstanding job caring for our rabbit, Bunny, while we were away. He was incredibly communicative, responded quickly to every message, and always arrived on time, staying for the full visit. He had no trouble giving Bunny her medication, sent thoughtful updates and great photos after each visit, and made us feel completely at ease. We also came home to everything spotless and exactly as we had left it, which we really appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to book Jacob again and will absolutely be asking him to watch Bunny the next time we travel!”

Michele sent pictures of Harley while she was visiting and everything went better than expected. Looking forward to using her again in the future!”

“This is the third time I've had Leanne do drop-in visits for my kitty Bandit. I had to contact Leanne urgently as we needed to go out of town unexpectedly for my father's funeral. Leanne was very prompt with responding back to me and was able to do drop-in visits kind of last minute for several days. Leanne is super efficient and prompt and always gave me a detailed Rover card after each visit with a few photos. It was a load off my mind that Bandit was well cared for during this difficult time for me.”

“Extremely calm and knowledgeable. Knew exactly how to introduce our Boston Terrier to her own dogs. Everything went smoothly. Her home was immaculate and organized. She sent pictures frequently.

About: I have volunteered at the SPCA for three years, taking care of small dogs, large dogs, and even cats. I even take care of people's pets in my neighborhood. Currently fitting pet care into my daily routine is no problem at all. I am a part time college student but I don't go back until the winter.

I also have two leopard geckos named Mushu and Yoshi. Kaya is fed twice a day, morning and evening. And Snickers is a grazer so he eats whenever he wants. I have a fenced in yard which Kaya adores. Whenever other dogs come over I let them out into the yard so they can run around and play. The yard is about half an acre and the fence is 4 and a half feet tall.
“Martha was the best sitter for my dog that I could want. She let me and my dog, Parker, preview her place to see if we were compatible. She sent updates and pics showing how Parker was doing, and kept in touch. Parker came back calm and refreshed. A great experience I’d highly recommend.”

She was attentive to my animals needs and it was obvious my pup had a great time with her. She sent tons of pictures and videos and gave comprehensive daily updates. I would absolutely recommend this sitter and will be using her again in the future.”
“Marlee had a wonderful stay with Brenda (her second stay). Brenda truly loves the pets she cares for and has a very laid-back style. Her home is perfect for my senior dog.”
“Carlie was a pleasure to work with and was super communicative with me for our Goldens care...She was also flexible and understanding when an unexpected sickness arose (which was not related to her care in any way) Would recommend her and will use her again for sure!”
“Bob and Susan went above and beyond to make my 13 year old American Eskimo feel at home. He is an overly anxious dog and he did wonderfully with them. My boyfriend went to pick him up and witnessed Monty running around being a dog with several other dogs (I have never seen him do this). We would highly recommend Susan and Bob. Thank you so much”
“Camp Michelle as we now call Callie’s little vacation spot was just perfect. She is attentive to our dog’s little quirks - we have a needy Labrador Retriever. Our dog is not used to staying away from home. However she had a blast at Michelle’s. This was our first time working with Michelle and we will be back for sure. If you are looking for a real “dog person” then go to Michelle. She is AMAZING!”
“Desi’s time with Marvina was like a dream vacation for him — lots of open (fenced-in) space to explore, a small number of dog friends to play with, and best of all, a loving caregiver. This was our first time leaving Desi for a week, but we knew he was safe and happy. And we got daily updates and pictures. Marvina is terrific!”
“Cory was friendly and knew a lot about puppies. We were very comfortable leaving our six month old Finnegan with him. He has a big yard and a fenced in deck. I would bring Finnegan the next time I’m in the area.”

“Libby was great with Chloe! We got pictures and updates regularly and Chloe even and a hat and scarf in some pictures! Huge fenced in yard to run around in! Lots of love and attention! Definitely will use Libby again!”
“Samantha was wonderful. Highly responsive easy to work and provided our little man with the perfect first experience away from Home. Woke up every morning with pictures and updates while we were away and never once worried about anything. Highly recommend! Thank you again, Sam!”
