“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!!”
“Sylvia was an incredible sitter! The moment my husband and I met her we knew she’d be great. She has such a lovely personality and you can tell how much she cares about animals. She made sure to keep us updated on how Trigger was doing and sending pictures, he looked so happy in all of them. When we picked him up, he was just happiest old pup. I most definitely recommend Sylvia to anyone that needs a sitter!”
“Our Prince had a great time with Kelly!!! She was very helpful when it came to the needs of Prince and went above and beyond for his needs! Would highly recommend and we will definitely use Kelly in the future! Thank you so much for caring for Prince!!!”
“Mary Sue is phenomenal! This was our first stay with Mary Sue and she was patient and loving with my pup. I appreciate her organization and communication and my puppy appreciates all the fun!”
“Megan W and her family were fantastic! Not only was she a delight to communicate with, my dog clearly loved her and her home, The pictures she sent of my furbaby showed him undeniably smiling ear to ear. She is a little bit off the beaten path which is exactly why I chose her as we were on our way to Rehoboth. It was an easy and short detour to drop our little buddy off on our way. Her place has plenty of shade, fencing, and other pups for my dog to enjoy. I will definitely be rebooking with Megan W in the future!”
About: I have had several dogs in my life through their entire life span. I recently lost my soul dog. Not ready to get another but because they bring me so much joy, I would love to take care of others. I have the time because I am retired. I also know the feeling of worrying that they are in the best care! I can assure you that they will be! I am retired for the most part. I teach yoga a few hours a week but I have plenty of time. I can take your dog for several walks, AM or PM. I do not have a fenced in yard but do have a very long leash to allow freedom in the yard. I also live in a great neighborhood with lots of dogs. My dog recently passed but we used to take lots of daily walks and had lots of interactions.
“Carlie and her husband were an excellent pet sitters for our Jack Russell dog. They were very caring, reliable and accommodating to our schedule. We traveled from New York and be were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pet because she was in good hands.”
“This is our third time having Jenna watch our pups in our home. She does a wonderful job of keeping them safe and sharing photos with us each day. She also takes very good care of our home and leaves it very clean and tidy after her stay. I will continue to book Jenna as I know she is responsible, caring and communicative when it comes to my pups. Thanks Jenna!”
“Neena was awesome. She watched my dog Loki for the weekend and let us do a meet and greet beforehand. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day to let me know how he was doing. Highly recommend”
“Michele is a wonderful dog-sitter! She is very knowledgeable about dogs. We met in advance of my dog’s stay so Michele could ensure compatibility and understand his needs and routine. My dog has separation anxiety, and Michele was extremely caring and accommodating. She sends photos and messages frequently. This was my first experience using Rover, and I have booked another sitting with her for May 2026. Thank you, Mickey!”
“These guys are outstanding! Susan gave me so much confidence socializing my dog. Dogs of all sizes are there and Susan takes care of each one of them with kindness and love. She is an absolute expert. Would highly recommend Susan and Bob. We will be taking our dog back there for all our play dates and long trips.”
“Ziggy appeared to enjoy his stay with Jacqueline and her son. He was nice and tired when we got him home. Jacqueline communicated promptly and sent photos during Ziggy’s stay. Many thanks!”
“Lori takes such great care of our labradoodle. She’s been a lifesaver for us when we need to go out of town and leave our furry friend at home. It’s comforting to know she’s in such good hands. Thanks Lori!!!”
“Margit and Bill welcomed Callie with open arms and were absolutely wonderful with her for her very first visit. They sent many pictures and were highly communicative which was so reassuring. They went above and beyond to make sure Callie's needs were met and make her feel very comfortable throughout her stay. We highly recommend Margit and Bill and will most definitely reach out again knowing Callie is in the very best hands.”
“When our flights got canceled, delaying our return home by a day, Eric was incredibly generous and offered to continue watching Pepper. It feels as though Pepper is incorporated into the family and Eric always has Pepper’s best interests at heart. He will continue to be our first pick for dog sitters on Rover.”
“Our experience with Colleen was truly outstanding! From the very beginning, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that immediately put us at ease. It was clear that her top priority was Storm's well-being and comfort. Colleen took the time to ask thoughtful, detailed questions to fully understand Storm’s needs and personality, which spoke volumes about her dedication. Her home is not only beautiful but also a calm and welcoming environment—Storm settled in with ease. We felt confident and reassured knowing our dog was in such attentive and loving hands. Colleen went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch, compassionate care for their furry family member! Thank you so much!”
“Kendra is amazing! She was so great with my dog Beans, loving, cuddling, playing. She included him in everything! She is very patient and empathetic and very responsive. I will be sending Beans back to her when I am back in Delaware!”

“Melanie was the best. She was prompt and reliable and followed our instructions to the tee. She spent time interacting with our cats, taking some adorable pictures to send us. She was also flexible about a last-minute change in plans. We highly recommend her! We will definitely use Melanie's services again in the future!”
“Iuliana did an amazing job watching our cats, Chubbi and Slim, while we were away. She was dependable and punctual, always arriving on time and keeping us updated. It's clear that she truly cares about our cats, as they were happy and well taken care of. We highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her next time we need a pet sitter!”
“We met Alison for the first time today for a meet and greet. She was extremely friendly and charming. She listened to all of our needs and best of all, our boy Sherman absolutely loved her. We will be booking with her very soon.”
“Second time benefiting from Jen’s service - this time with two cats instead of just one. It gives me comfort to know when she’s popping in to visit them and once I get the update and pictures, I feel great knowing that they’re ok!”
About: I’ve been volunteering with an animal shelter since 2018, and still work with them today. I’ve dealt with many different temperaments, breeds, and sizes. Within the shelter and outside of it at our events, I’ve gained a lot of experience and confidence when it comes to kitties.
“This was our second time using Kasey, and once again she was absolutely wonderful! 💕 She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about our pets as if they’re her own 🐱 We had complete peace of mind knowing they were well cared for while we were away ✨ It’s such a relief to have someone we trust 100% - we won’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Jenna was very responsive. She respected my home but more importantly she took care of my 2 kitties for about 10 days. She made sure all their needs were cared for (fresh water, food and clean litter). I felt good about leaving them with Jenna.”
“Sydney is fantastic! She house-sat for us for five nights, caring for our elderly cat, Frankie, while we were out of the country. Frankie has medical issues that require frequent medication every 6–8 hours, and Sydney handled it all with ease. She had no trouble administering his pills and liquid meds and kept us updated with photos and messages at least three times a day. Knowing Frankie was in such capable hands made our trip much more relaxing. We will definitely ask for Sydney’s help again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“After another sitter canceled last minute, Emily was able to come in and watch my cats on short notice (over the holiday, at that!) She always did her check-ins in a timely manner and provided detailed updates. I’m very happy and would book with her again.”
About: I got my first kitten when I was 12 and from the first "purrrrrrrr" I was hooked! I love cats of all shapes and sizes and would be more than happy to help you care for your furry friend when you are unable to.
About: Ever since I can remember, cats have been a part of my everyday life. I grew up in a home filled with love—and 10 to 15 cats at any given time. My family and I rescue stray cats, and it’s taught me that every cat has a unique personality and story. I have worked at various shelters over the years, so have had experience with all different kinds of cats. I truly believe every cat deserves endless love, patience, and a place to feel safe.
“Thanks so much to you, Neena, for taking care of our little girl! Neena came over to meet us, she was sweet & personable. She was great with pics & notes. Went above & beyond by putting out our trash cans! I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I believe that dogs need walks!! Not just let out to go to the bathroom, but real physical activity! Dogs need to see the world around them - this makes there temperament better equipped to handle strangers and other animals. I have a sweet yellow lab who thinks she is human -- no, really!!!! My Jags wants to play all the time. She loves other dogs - we are a dog lovin family! I believe that giving dogs proper exercise is what may set me apart from other sitters -- Im a fast walker. I am a responsible adult who cares deeply for the comfort and well being of all animals!! Fresh water is a must as well. I can't wait to meet your pup! Thanks for considering me. I’m very flexible! I work from home and that allows me to be flexible with my schedule – thank you so much! I look forward to serving you! I care for each pet as my own- I love fitness and making sure dogs and cats get the care and attention they deserve and require!
About: I have had dogs my whole life and started pet sitting back in high school. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and taking care of them just feels natural to me. In college, I also lived with cats, so I’m comfortable around both. I really treat every dog I watch like they’re my own — whether that means playtime, walks, or just some good cuddle time. I’m reliable, responsible, and always make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I am currently working part-time so I can help out with your furry friends and give them my full attention and all the love and care they deserve! "I care for pets as if they were my own, whether in my home or yours. The services I provide are always tailored to fit your pet’s specific needs — whether that’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply providing lots of love and attention. I’m happy to adjust my care depending on what your furry friend needs to feel safe, happy, and comfortable!"
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. In my household growing up we had three dogs. I have always been around dogs and know how to interact with and play with them. I recently got my own puppy, and have been taking care of him as well. I am currently working part time as a server, I am home a lot of the day and I have a very flexible schedule so I am able to do a lot including boarding, walks, etc. I do have a puppy of my own so depending on if they are dog friendly I would be happy to welcome the dogs into my home. A meet with my boy would probably be great before any decisions are made just to be sure they get along :)

“Great communication! Clean and appropriate environment. Despite Axe's terrible anxiety, he loved Cory and never fussed one bit. We will definitely be using Cory's daycare again!”
“From the moment I met Colleen, I knew she would be a great pet sitter because my dogs immediately loved her!! I have a 2 year old Bernedoodle and 5 year old Bernise Mountain dog and Colleen welcomed them into her home like they were old friends! We happened to run into her while on a walk after we met and my dogs were so excited to see her. That told me everything I needed to know! I am one of those pet parents that is hesitant to leave my dogs with other people, but I feel so blessed to have found Colleen. I know I have found a true pet lover to watch my dogs if I must be away, and that gives me true peace of mind!!”
“Neena responded right away and was available and gracious in regard to my last minute request! Neena was great at communicating and Daisy was happy and well cared for upon pick up! Would definitely book here again!”
“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. Our dog looked extremely relaxed and happy in her home. She came home exhausted from playing in their large fenced in yard. I felt very safe, leaving our precious pup with Meghan.”
“So glad to have found Christina to take care of our dog Lucky during our recent trip to the beach. She's warm and friendly and took care of Lucky as if he were her own. She communicated promptly and clearly. She was so flexible with our vacation schedule and sent us adorable pictures of Lucky throughout the day. I'd definitely rebook with Christina, no question.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats so I’m very aware of the care they need and I’m very passionate about keeping my pets happy. Right now I have 2 chihuahuas and a cat who I love unconditionally. In my free time I volunteer as a dog walker at the animal shelter to help those pets who are not as fortunate to be in a loving home. I would love to help keep your pets happy and safe while you are away. I’ve learned a lot through my work at the animal shelter on how to work with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Keeping pets feeling happy and loved will always be a big goal of mine because they deserve a good life. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility during the day to take care of your dog or cat during the week! I currently have my own cat and he is very friendly towards all other animals including dogs of all sizes and ages that’s he’s met
About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.
“Margit and Bill are the best!! They went on bike rides with my active dog and treated her so well! They are very kind and great communicators. They loved my dog so well and went above and beyond in every way. I definitely recommend them!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 of my own who I take out and play fetch daily. My family and friend rely on me to help with their pets while at work. I am most definitely a dog mom and love dogs!! I’m currently working part-time. Both me and my partner are available weekdays and weekends. We are very flexible with our schedules. Between the two of us we can make it work to meet your needs. I have a large fenced in yard. Your dog must be friendly with other dogs and children if looking to have your pet stay with me.
“I cannot say enough great things about Michele! She has given me my life back! I have two little rescues that are highly reactive and do not like anyone, so consequently I have been unable to leave them. After talking with Michele and getting a sense of her experience and patience with rescue.dogs such as mine I decided to give her a try...and it went beautifully! My dogs had a great time with her and loved her...and cannot wait to go back again! Michele is truly not just very much a professional but is gifted with animals as well.”
About: I am a very compassionate and outgoing person who wants what’s in the best interest of your pet. I have a very calm demeanor which makes pets feel extremely comfortable. I also have a 6 month old border collie so I’m extremely comfortable with high energy dogs I’m currently in between jobs so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am very compassionate and want what’s in the best interest of your animal. My boyfriend and i just got a border collie/ Australian shepherd puppy so i am very used to a high energy dog. I live in a house with lots of land so the dog has plenty of room to explore. I live in a very safe area
“Jacqueline and William were great! We made a last minute reservation and they accommodated our drop off and pickup times which needed to be flexible since we were going kayaking and uncertain how long it would take. Will definitely use them again the next time we are Trap Pond.”
“Martha is just the best dog sitter, ever. She is wonderful with our dog, Riley. He loves being at her house with her very friendly dog, Montana. We are so happy to have found Martha. She is so friendly and a great person. She has become our friend.”
“Jessica is amazing with Fur babies. Very accommodating and professional. My Tug love going there. Its always a great day whenever he spends his day with her. Her dog Tashi is very good with other dogs. Tug's favorite retreat is his stay at Jessica's. Highly recommended 👌”

About: I’ve always had a dog in my life, and it was my responsibility since I was young to care for our family pets! I am 32, and at the age of 13 I started housesitting dogs/cats for neighbors and friends. Consistently in the last 10 years, I have taken care of pets for family and friends while they are out of town. I have a 15 year old dog who is blind, so I understand the desire to have someone give specific care and love to an animal with special needs. Every animal I take care of, I care for like it's my own! I have cared for multiple large dogs at once, dogs with high energy demands, as well as dogs as young as puppies or as old as seniors. I have also been a nanny for the last 5 years, so respecting someone’s home and space is essential to me. I have recently moved to Delaware to be closer to family. With this new move, I also hope to focus on my art career and get more involved in the community. With that being said, my schedule is very flexible! I am a morning-person who loves to exercise early, so morning dog walks/pet care wouldn't be a problem! I also do not mind being up later at night, if that is what your pet needs. I care for other’s homes and pets how I would want someone to care for my own. I am extremely respectful, and will make sure your pet and home are my first priority! I am very good at following specific instructions for pet-care in one’s own home. I have experience caring for both old and young pets, as well as pets with additional needs, such as routine medications and vitamins. When housesitting, I am also able to give animals as many walks/play time as desired. Although I have a dog of my own, I will not be bringing my dog along for walks/housesitting (my husband is able to watch him at home). I also am in constant communication with the owner, when caring for their pet.

“I have had the absolute pleasure of entrusting my beloved dog, Kimchi, to the care of Iuliana, and I must say, she is absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, it was clear that Iuliana possesses an extraordinary love and understanding for dogs. Kimchi instantly connected with her warm and caring demeanor. Iuliana's genuine passion for dogs radiates in every interaction. I was particularly impressed by Iuliana's incredible flexibility and understanding. Despite a last-minute change in my schedule, she graciously accommodated the time change for the walk. Her willingness to adapt to my needs without any hesitation truly speaks volumes about her dedication to the pets she cares for. The detailed updates provided after each walk were heartwarming. It was evident that Kimchi not only had a great walk but also thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Iuliana. She ensured Kimchi received the exercise, love, and attention that every dog deserves. Iuliana's reliability and professionalism are truly commendable. Knowing that Kimchi was in her capable and caring hands put my mind at ease. She exceeded all my expectations, making each walk a safe and enjoyable experience for my furry family member. If you're searching for someone who genuinely cares for your dog as if they were their own and consistently goes above and beyond, Iuliana is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional care for their furry companions. Thank you, Iuliana, for your exceptional service and for being an invaluable part of Kimchi's well-being!”
“Kasey is amazing. I have a new rescue that’s super sweet but very reactive to other dogs on walks. I was very anxious about having a dog walker due to lily’s reactivity but Kasey really knows how to handle such behavior. Lily took to Kasey right away which really put me at ease. Kasey is so wonderful and gives such great updates on their daily walks and activities. I absolutely trust her with my fur baby and will be using her often!”
About: Hi! I'm Zoe, and I've been around animals my entire life. I've always had at least one dog growing up, and I shared 17 wonderful years with my cat, Love, before saying goodbye this past fall. I currently have two Labrador Retrievers, Finley and Sadie, who I've helped train from puppies. They have a strong foundation in obedience and can even walk off leash, which taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've also pet sat for friends and family, providing feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention while they're away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'll take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're gone. I also know how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away, so I'll send regular photo updates and messages so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or relaxing at home, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I currently work online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I'm available any day of the week and can easily fit walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and cuddle time into my day. I'll make sure your pet gets lots of love, care, and companionship while you're away! I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to keep things as consistent as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely, whether that's feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or any other special care your pet needs. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment while you're away. I'll also keep your home clean and secure and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“We were first time users this past weekend. Our dog Jasper proved very difficult. Jennifer went above and beyond trying to bond with Jasper. She kept us informed of the situation. We appreciate her extra efforts ❤️❤️”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me! My mom is a veterinary technician, and between her experience and having five dogs of our own (plus fostering dogs!), I've had the opportunity to be around all kinds of personalities, ages, and energy levels. I've also been dog sitting for over 10 years for friends, family, neighbors, and other pet owners. As a recent college graduate with a degree in Early Childhood Education, I'm responsible, dependable, and pay close attention to details. If your dog has a specific routine, I'll make sure to follow it! Whether it's feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or extra cuddles, I'm happy to provide the care your pup is used to. I'm spending the summer living at the beach, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the dogs in my care! I truly love spending time with animals. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I'll treat your pup like family and do everything I can to give you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work part-time at a gym with flexible hours, and my shifts are usually no more than five hours long. This gives me plenty of time to provide your pet with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve! I care for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable and can maintain their normal routine. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special requests. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away, while also giving you peace of mind knowing they are in reliable hands!
“Highly recommend! We used Susan for 2 straight weeks to provide an extra walk for our golden retriever while my parents were watching her (we were away on vacation). Her communication was wonderful and put us at ease. Will definitely book her again.”
About: If you are looking for a trust worthy, animal loving pet sitter who loves to walk, please give me try! I am a retired, non-smoking, responsible pet sitter with references. When your pet stays with me in my home they will be treated like family with full range of the house. I want them to have the best and safest experience with me. I will take pictures and have my phone on at all times to communicate with you. Please rest easy knowing that I will take great care of your fur baby. I have been lucky enough to have parented two golden retrievers and many cats. Taking care of and walking more than one dog is not a problem! I live in a neighborhood with miles of sidewalks to safely walk dogs plus two large fenced dog parks for off leash fun and excersise. Having fostered pets for a shelter for many years, I am able to administer medications when needed. From young to senior I can handle housebroken pets of all ages with love. Medical records and up to date vaccinations are a must. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! I am retired so I can work with your pet's schedule. I love to walk and can take your pet out for long or short walks multiple times a day. I have a dog friendly home and live in a dog friendly neighborhood with two large dog parks and miles of sidewalks for safe excursions. Each dog park has separate areas for small and large dogs. Your pet's excersise schedule and diet will be followed!
“Carlie has been really great. She was able to fit Emma into her schedule and help me get her out on my long days at work. Been a huge help and Emma goes right a long with her with no issues especially for a new pup. So thank you .”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Cammie and I am looking to help you with all your pet sitting needs. Whether it is a short walk during the work day or overnight care while on vacation, I am here to give as much love to your pets as you do! I currently work from home, so my workday is very flexible! Whether it’s short walks during the workday or longer visits on weekends, my schedule is highly adaptable. I follow the owner’s instructions when caring for their animals. By providing a safe and comfortable environment, pets can maintain familiarity with their surroundings and routines, just as their owners would.
“I needed someone to walk and feed my very energetic dog on short notice. Dave was very responsive, communicated well, and sent photos. I was worried my dog might be stressed being left alone all day, but when I returned, he seemed great! I would definitely recommend Dave and will use him again.”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and parakeets, and my mom bred and showed dogs, so I learned early how important patience, consistency, and attentive care are for every pet’s personality and needs. As an adult, I’ve primarily cared for cats and currently have a diabetic cat of my own. I’m very experienced with glucose testing and monitoring, administering insulin injections, recognizing and managing hypoglycemic events, and giving calm, compassionate care to pets with medical needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, observant, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m recently retired, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. While I do travel occasionally, my trips are planned well in advance and I keep my calendar updated. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walking, and I enjoy helping pets stay comfortable in their normal routine and environment while their owners are away. I only provide care in the client’s home because I believe many pets feel safest and least stressed in familiar surroundings. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, and comfort needs so I can provide calm, reliable care while you’re away. I’m especially experienced with cats and pets requiring medical attention, including diabetic care, glucose monitoring, insulin injections, and recognizing signs of hypoglycemia. I treat every home respectfully and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I was a Mom of 3 dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take care of your pets. I currently work from home so that gives me the freedom to care for your pets. I can do morning, lunchtime and evening walks. I can do overnight stays. I will do a meet and greet to see what makes you and your pet comfortable. I will learn their schedule so I can keep them on their normal routine.
About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience in the pet care field, with a background that goes far beyond basic sitting or walking. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also own and operate my own professional pet care business, which means I approach every booking with a high level of responsibility, professionalism, and accountability. My experience includes working in animal rescue and volunteering, where I cared for animals of all species, temperaments, and medical needs. I have extensive experience with puppies, senior pets, and special-needs animals, including those requiring medications, mobility support, or extra patience and structure. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong ability to read the body language and communication cues of different species, allowing me to understand when a pet is comfortable, stressed, anxious, or unwell. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and routine, which helps me recognize early signs of illness or behavioral changes and communicate concerns clearly and promptly with pet parents. My background in rescue and professional pet care has taught me the importance of calm, consistent care , especially for pets who may not thrive in boarding environments. I am confident working with pets who need extra reassurance, individualized routines, or specialized care, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and secure in their own home. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that allows pets to feel safe and understood while giving their owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is not something I fit around another job. It is my full time profession, and I have intentionally built my daily schedule around providing reliable, attentive care for my clients and their pets. Because this is my business, I am able to plan my days with flexibility and prioritize consistency, routine, and comfort for the animals in my care. I am deeply passionate about both my work and the peace of mind it provides to pet owners. Caring for other people’s pets is something I take seriously, and I treat every visit with the same level of attention and responsibility I would expect for my own animals. With advance notice, I am available 24 seven for scheduled care, including overnights, drop ins, and extended visits. I also offer emergency visits for established clients when unexpected situations arise, subject to availability. This added flexibility allows my clients to feel supported, even when plans change. My goal is to be a dependable, long term care provider that pet owners can trust to be there when they need it most. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat each space with the same respect and responsibility I would expect from someone caring for my own. I understand that inviting a pet sitter into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also come with letters of reference that speak to my professionalism, reliability, and integrity. I am mindful of home security, privacy, and routines, and I follow all client instructions carefully. This includes locking up properly, respecting personal spaces, and maintaining a clean and orderly environment during every visit. My focus is always on keeping pets comfortable and stress free in familiar surroundings while ensuring their home remains safe and well cared for. Whether I am providing drop in visits or overnight care, I aim to create a calm, dependable presence that both pets and owners can feel confident about. My goal is to provide in home pet care that is not only attentive and compassionate for your pets, but also respectful, trustworthy, and professional within your home.

“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!!”
“Our Prince had a great time with Kelly!!! She was very helpful when it came to the needs of Prince and went above and beyond for his needs! Would highly recommend and we will definitely use Kelly in the future! Thank you so much for caring for Prince!!!”
“Megan W and her family were fantastic! Not only was she a delight to communicate with, my dog clearly loved her and her home, The pictures she sent of my furbaby showed him undeniably smiling ear to ear. She is a little bit off the beaten path which is exactly why I chose her as we were on our way to Rehoboth. It was an easy and short detour to drop our little buddy off on our way. Her place has plenty of shade, fencing, and other pups for my dog to enjoy. I will definitely be rebooking with Megan W in the future!”
About: I have had several dogs in my life through their entire life span. I recently lost my soul dog. Not ready to get another but because they bring me so much joy, I would love to take care of others. I have the time because I am retired. I also know the feeling of worrying that they are in the best care! I can assure you that they will be! I am retired for the most part. I teach yoga a few hours a week but I have plenty of time. I can take your dog for several walks, AM or PM. I do not have a fenced in yard but do have a very long leash to allow freedom in the yard. I also live in a great neighborhood with lots of dogs. My dog recently passed but we used to take lots of daily walks and had lots of interactions.
“Carlie and her husband were an excellent pet sitters for our Jack Russell dog. They were very caring, reliable and accommodating to our schedule. We traveled from New York and be were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pet because she was in good hands.”
“This is our third time having Jenna watch our pups in our home. She does a wonderful job of keeping them safe and sharing photos with us each day. She also takes very good care of our home and leaves it very clean and tidy after her stay. I will continue to book Jenna as I know she is responsible, caring and communicative when it comes to my pups. Thanks Jenna!”
“Neena was awesome. She watched my dog Loki for the weekend and let us do a meet and greet beforehand. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day to let me know how he was doing. Highly recommend”
“These guys are outstanding! Susan gave me so much confidence socializing my dog. Dogs of all sizes are there and Susan takes care of each one of them with kindness and love. She is an absolute expert. Would highly recommend Susan and Bob. We will be taking our dog back there for all our play dates and long trips.”
“Ziggy appeared to enjoy his stay with Jacqueline and her son. He was nice and tired when we got him home. Jacqueline communicated promptly and sent photos during Ziggy’s stay. Many thanks!”
“Lori takes such great care of our labradoodle. She’s been a lifesaver for us when we need to go out of town and leave our furry friend at home. It’s comforting to know she’s in such good hands. Thanks Lori!!!”
“Our experience with Colleen was truly outstanding! From the very beginning, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that immediately put us at ease. It was clear that her top priority was Storm's well-being and comfort. Colleen took the time to ask thoughtful, detailed questions to fully understand Storm’s needs and personality, which spoke volumes about her dedication. Her home is not only beautiful but also a calm and welcoming environment—Storm settled in with ease. We felt confident and reassured knowing our dog was in such attentive and loving hands. Colleen went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch, compassionate care for their furry family member! Thank you so much!”
“Our dog, who can be a wee bit nervous, had such a lovely time with Jeremiah and his family! They were so kind and communicative, and we’ll happily trust them to care for her again. She can’t wait to be back for snuggles with the kids!”
“Robert was fantastic with Gracie. He sent pics and updates several times a day. She came home exhausted so I know she was played with A LOT while she was with him. He truly loves dogs, I highly recommend him!”
“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.”
“Let me start by saying we’ve never left our dogs overnight let alone with a total stranger. We left for 9 days and have 3 dogs and I was so nervous and had a thousand questions and accommodations I needed fulfilled. Samantha was absolutely incredible. If I could give 100 stars I would. My dogs were so loved and cared for the entire time they were in her care. The pictures I got each day were just filled with joy in each of my dogs faces. If I could afford to send them there for playtime everyday I definitely would!!! Two of my dogs had stomach issues on the 5th day or so and she made them chicken and rice and pumpkin for their meals until they felt better. She trimmed their nails. She washed their bedding. I mean what more could you ask for?! Do not hesitate in sending your animals with her. She is the best of the best! I will be sending my dogs to her house anytime we go out of town… worry free!!”
“Marvina and her pups are amazing! Our dog, Koda, loves going there and always has a great time/comes home exhausted! Marvina communicates extremely well and sends plenty of pictures/updates regarding Kodas stay. We're so happy we found her!”
“Jill was absolutely fantastic and took care of Storm like her own dog. She kept me in the loop everyday with emails and wonderful pictures/videos. I highly recommend Jill and will be a repeat customer. Thank you!!”
“Julia was the best sitter for Indi girl! She sent so many pictures and updates. Indi walked a TON with Julia - a couple miles each day. She was very sweet and easy to work with, we needed a sitter last second and she was such a blessing! She was so sad to see Indi leave and knowing Indi was so loved while I was gone is the best piece of mind. Would 100% recommend Julia!”
“This was our first trip away without Rocky. Daniela sent me pictures throughout the night and kept me updated on how he was doing. Rocky had a blast with her dogs! Definitely would recommend Daniela, they make your dog feel like one of their own. Thank you again!”
