“Enrica was wonderful! My boys are pretty high maintenance and she took great care of them. My Labrador has some anxiety issues and my French bull dog has special dietary needs and medications. She sent lots of pictures and updates during their stay. She even taught my bull dog how to swim…amazing!”

About: I have been involved with pet rescue for coming up on 10 years and have been an avid pet parent to all types of animals for my entire life. My family and I were responsible for the rehabilitation of pets with high needs. This involved pets with both behavioral concerns and medically fragile pets through my fostering experience. I work with them to ensure they can put their best paw forward into their forever home. I have also attended several pet training class for fosters and my own family pets and am generally good with pets of all temperaments. I work full time, but am committed to taking care of all of our pets! Primarily I would be looking for night and weekend work to make sure I have adequate time to spend with your fur babies. I have 3 cats that live in my home and mostly roam freely (except for mealtimes) I also have a large dog kennel in my home for boarding needs. I have a small fenced in yard and also live in an easily walkable area with lots of doggie neighbors.
“Rita is absolutely fabulous, she’s so sweet and considerate. Our pup LOVED staying with her, we even got regular photos and videos! She’s an amazing communicator and her house and yard are so cute!”

“Sara took a great care of our little guy. She gave timely updates and I can see that our Leo had so much fun and comfortable at her place. I would definitely keep our little guy with Sara again.”

“Sandra is an excellent sitter! Our dog Chico was very happy to be with her! Definitely we will go back to her as needed and certainly highly recommend Sandra as a pet sitter!”

“Our pup loved her week long stay with Adriene. She had so much fun and actually didn’t want to leave Adriene’s house when we came back from vacation lol. The communication was great, we got plenty of updates and pictures of our pup during her stay. Highly recommend”

“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”

“I was very happy with Mac's stay with Laurel. I had shared with her that Mac loves going on walks and she took him for two long walks. She shared with me how he was doing over the course of the day. I would use Laurel again without hesitation.”


“Chyann, was an amazing sitter for my baby. Beanie stayed with her for a week and throughout the entire stay she kept me updated with pictures and insight into how he was doing. She’s one of the more informed sitters on this platform and following our meet-and-greet I was completely sold on choosing her as a sitter. With the updates, smooth transition for drop-off, and Chyann’s warm personality I was completely at ease and confident throughout the boarding process. I’d definitely recommend choosing Chyann!”

“Cecilia took good care of our Ida while my wife and I were out of town. She took time to introduce Ida to the other dogs there to give all the dogs the best chance of getting along. Ida went for one day of daycare before her boarding stay and seemed happy to be returning when we dropped her off. Cecilia was very responsive when we asked for updates and sent us some pictures of Ida while we where out of town. If I wasn't moving out of state I would happily send my dog back to Cecilia's for boarding or daycare!”

About: My home is always filled with love and laughter over our dogs. Rex is 16, a ShihZhu, Jack is 10 yr Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Peppa is 8 yr Chihuahua. Good nutrition, comfort, care, love and exercise are the keys to our content and playful pets. I am currently retired, and I have time on my hands. Dogs are very important to me, I feel they know more than we think they know. To give a dog comfort, company in your time of need would be my pleasure. I will take your instruction on how you’d like me to structure walks, exercise, feeding and meds. The playing and affection part is included. I will help you keep you pet on their routine.
“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”

“Lindsey took care of Sydney for a night. When I was there to drop off, the kids and the family welcomed Sydney and made her comfortable. Lindsey provided frequent updates which I greatly appreciate. Sydney had a great stay at Lindsey's.”

About: I grew up around dogs my whole life, which has informed my experience with them. I enjoy walking dogs and training them to learn new tricks. I know several dog training techniques, including positive reinforcement techniques. I can always make time out of my schedule to walk Fido or give Fluffy extra cuddles. I am available especially on Saturdays. When I'm spending time with your furbabies, it never feels like work. I care for my pets by making sure they have plenty of water and food. I also walk the dog frequently and make sure the cat has a clean litter box. For clients, I care for pets per their instructions.

“I was out of town for the week and Olivia watched Lulu for the being. She was wonderful, kept up with Lulu’s meds, and kept me updated the entire time. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

“Joey is awesome!! We have a sweet but rambunctious pup. He kept her active and gave her lots and lots of attention. She has really awful separation anxiety and we hate leaving her. He sent us tons of photos and videos of her stay with him. That helped to ease our stress of leaving her knowing she was having so much fun. Would highly recommend Joey to anyone. If he can handle my crazy canine he can handle yours!!”

She has a lovely home with a spacious backyard, and I know they enjoyed the freedom and outside time. She treats her dogs as one of her own and I came back from vacation to happy dogs. Thank you, Patti. ♥️🐾”

“Alison visited Max over the weekend while his people were away. She provided a detailed summary about what the two of them got up to as well as 10+ photos per visit. Alison also had no issues with remembering Max and his routine even after 4 months since the last visit. She left both his food bowls washed and ready to use and if I'm not mistaken she also cleaned up the litter around the litterbox before her last visit.”


About: I started taking care of cats by feeding the stray cats outside of my apartment. I love sitting outside with them, even when they don’t let me pet them. I have since been cat-sitting for friends and plan to adopt my own cat when I begin my PhD program this fall.

About: I’m a true dog enthusiast who was the primary caregiver for my German Shepherd, Jax, for almost 9 years until he passed away last year. During that time, I handled every aspect of his daily life—long walks in any weather, scheduled feeding, plenty of play and exercise (he loved fetch!), grooming, basic training, vet appointments, and showering him with affection. Jax was a big, energetic boy with a strong personality, so I’m very comfortable managing high-energy breeds, leash pulling, setting boundaries, and keeping routines consistent for a happy, well-behaved dog. Though I don’t have a dog of my own right now, that deep experience has only strengthened my passion for caring for pups. I’m excited to bring the same level of dedication, patience, and one-on-one attention to your dog—whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, boarding, or whatever they need. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and send daily updates with photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’d love to earn yours. Feel free to ask any questions or set up a meet-and-greet! 🐾 Honoring Jax by helping other dogs thrive.” I am a stay home mom currently working in an online certification so I’m at home almost all day .

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.
“I can not say enough about how wonderful Cecilia was in taking care of my 2 Aussie pups. We were in town for 2 days visiting friends and having her and her husband to take care of our children allowed us to relax and enjoy our stay. She even offered to keep them till 8pm and deliver them to us. Both our babies us came home happy and exhausted. Cecilia is so passionate about caring for furbabies. I especially loved how she could read their body language and make quick adjustments to how she introduced them to her home. You could tell that their comfort level was more important than just moving from point A to point B. Thank you Cecilia for being you!”

About: I’m a devout animal lover with two dogs of my own and one cat. Caring for animals is truly one of my favorite joys in life! My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home when they’re in my care. Your baby will be well taken care of. I work remote so I am able to give your dog lots of love and attention throughout the day. Your pup will be able to take potty breaks every two hours in the fenced-in yard and spend time outside. We typically go for walks in the early morning and late evening. My pets are kept separate during boarding and they will have no interaction. Boarding & Daycare: My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home! I only board one dog at a time so that I can give them adequate, individualized attention all throughout the day.
About: Your pets are your babies; your home is your sanctuary. I understand & relate to both. I treat your pets & home as I would like mine to be treated. Leaving our four-legged friends behind while we work or travel is really hard. You miss them, and they miss you. Will they be OK? Yes! With me, they will be more than OK. They will be happy. They will be loved. They will have fun. They will enjoy our time together. This all means you can leave your babies behind and not worry!! Caring for pets brings me great joy. I hope you'll reach out. Thanks! Specializations: I specialize in caring for seniors, separation-prone anxiety & nervous cats & dogs; untrained puppies, and recently rescued, adopted & fostered. It's all about building a trusted relationship where an animal feels safe, secure & loved. I work with my niece, who is an Emergency Veterinarian. Birds/Parrots: I am also an avian behavior specialist who rescues and provides forever homes for parrots, including large ones, screamers, biters, and disabled. If you see this and know of a bird parent who can no longer provide the care & attention, proper nutrition, cage-free time & medical needs for their parrot, please reach out to me. There are so many birds out there with owners who just don't have the time, patience, or financial resources that parrots need. Many outlive their caregivers. Thank you! Need care for your pet at the last minute? No worries. I try to be THAT sitter you can count on to always be there for you when you need help the most. I am flexible. I don't charge for last-minute changes, and if available, I'm more than happy to accommodate your change in plans. I'm interested in working with families and their pets on a loyal, repeated, long-term basis. Your pet deserves a familiar face and a trusted caregiver when separated from their family. Each home, owner, and pet is unique and special. My services are uniquely tailored for every pet I am privileged to care for. I will provide you and your pet with the specific care and services you and your loved ones require and expect.

About: I haven’t taken care of dogs professionally but I have always had a deep love for dogs.

Otherwise, I have the ability to use my flexibility to be present. I have an open living room setup and an English bulldog of my own to keep them company as well. We go on multiple walks a day and I make sure to try and exert the energy of whatever dog I am with at the time (so they don’t have much time to miss their parents 😂). I have room to crate the dogs if needed and also a pet camera that helps with monitoring.

I have over five years of experience within dog sitting and in my care, they will be loved, respected, and given the enrichment they properly deserve! I'm currently working part-time with plenty of availability during the week! My flexibility allows me to properly care for all the needs of your pet! At my apartment we have a trail that is great for walking pets and in close proximity within my complex. It's perfect for walking your pet(s) and a great place to decompress! If you have any questions or concerns I am here to accommodate for you and your furbaby!

“Chyann, was an amazing sitter for my baby. Beanie stayed with her for a week and throughout the entire stay she kept me updated with pictures and insight into how he was doing. She’s one of the more informed sitters on this platform and following our meet-and-greet I was completely sold on choosing her as a sitter. With the updates, smooth transition for drop-off, and Chyann’s warm personality I was completely at ease and confident throughout the boarding process. I’d definitely recommend choosing Chyann!”

“Cecilia took good care of our Ida while my wife and I were out of town. She took time to introduce Ida to the other dogs there to give all the dogs the best chance of getting along. Ida went for one day of daycare before her boarding stay and seemed happy to be returning when we dropped her off. Cecilia was very responsive when we asked for updates and sent us some pictures of Ida while we where out of town. If I wasn't moving out of state I would happily send my dog back to Cecilia's for boarding or daycare!”

About: My home is always filled with love and laughter over our dogs. Rex is 16, a ShihZhu, Jack is 10 yr Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Peppa is 8 yr Chihuahua. Good nutrition, comfort, care, love and exercise are the keys to our content and playful pets. I am currently retired, and I have time on my hands. Dogs are very important to me, I feel they know more than we think they know. To give a dog comfort, company in your time of need would be my pleasure. I will take your instruction on how you’d like me to structure walks, exercise, feeding and meds. The playing and affection part is included. I will help you keep you pet on their routine.

“I was out of town for the week and Olivia watched Lulu for the being. She was wonderful, kept up with Lulu’s meds, and kept me updated the entire time. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

“Joey is awesome!! We have a sweet but rambunctious pup. He kept her active and gave her lots and lots of attention. She has really awful separation anxiety and we hate leaving her. He sent us tons of photos and videos of her stay with him. That helped to ease our stress of leaving her knowing she was having so much fun. Would highly recommend Joey to anyone. If he can handle my crazy canine he can handle yours!!”

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats and love all animals. I have had 2 golden retrievers, Tucker and Trey. Last summer I worked full time for Camp Bow Wow as a dog walker and pet sitter. I have also taken care of my neighbor's, friend's and family's pets. I am a pediatric nurse and I love to walk and be outdoors. I work full time during the day as a school nurse. I am available for holidays, weekends and some evenings to walk or care for pets. I am available when the students are off of school. I own a single split level home in a wonderful, safe neighborhood. I have a large, fenced in back yard. My home is pet friendly and comfortable.
“My 2 Boston Terriers had a wonderful time at Patti’s house. She took wonderful care of them and gave me daily updates and pictures. She has a lovely home with a spacious backyard, and I know they enjoyed the freedom and outside time. She treats her dogs as one of her own and I came back from vacation to happy dogs. Thank you, Patti. ♥️🐾”

About: Ive had cats and dogs since a very young age I currently have 4 dogs and three cats. I have many years of experience and love them all! I am currently a student at University of Delaware and I thought maybe this job would work for my class schedule. I have a lot of free time outside of class. I have 3 cats, a boarder collie, australian shepherd, and a west highland terrier. They are all very good animals most of my animals live at home except for one of my cats that lives with me at school, but I’ve taken care of all these animals from almost all my life.
“Christie was a great dog sitter, communicative, and sent daily pictures/video :) Our dog had a great time with her dog, Mousse, and she was very happy when she came back home.”

“Cassandra was very polite and professional. She appeared to be knowledgeable about dogs and asked me questions about my dog to make her feel comfortable while staying with her. She sent me pics everyday and updated me on what or how she was doing each day. I would recommend her anytime.”
