“Jenny was absolutely wonderful!!! Our reservation depended on the plans of others and she was very flexible with the changes we had to make. An added bonus was that the doggies were happy. I will definitively select her the next time that we go out of town!”
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Kirk immediately put me at ease about leaving my somewhat spoiled, always supervised , many food/ environmental allergies 9yo male pekinese. It’s necessary to watch he only gets the food and treats provided and allergy med twice a day. I feel that’s a tall order, but Kirk and Anita were wonderful. Sent update pictures so I knew he was fine and they treated like their own family pet. Can’t thank them enough. And recommend using them 100%. Kirk had me come over once to meet him so he could show me the layout ,explain what to expect ,and meet his own dogs To see how your dog reacts.”
“It was obvious during the meet and greet when I introduced my 3 dogs to Rebecca that they were going to be in good hands! Rebecca loves dogs and it shows. My dogs took to her right away, and I know I will book with her again! I’m extremely grateful to Rebecca for the peace of mind she gave me, and for providing me with updates and pictures during their stay with her.”
“Recently left my puppy with Thelma. I was able to go on vacation without concerns for my pups well being. She took extra precautions to keep him safe by putting up extra barricades around her fence to prevent him from escaping. My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.”
“Norman had an absolutely fabulous time with Mariah! He was well-cared-for, played with, and loved just as if he was at home! Thank you Mariah and to all the new friends that Norman made in your home!”
“Jen took very good care of my dog and I will definitely use her again to sit. She was very nice and communicated with me from the 1st meet-up and up until I picked Kobe up. Thanks again Jen”
“She was very communicative and accommodating. She sent good photos and dogs seemed happy and comfortable The dogs came home very tired and lovey so they must’ve enjoyed their vacation. Thank you Teresa ❗️”
“Diana was absolutely great! She kept in contact with me the entire time and always send pictures and videos. She is such a sweet and loving person that truly cares for animals. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again.”
“I have no worries when my pup is in the hands of Kelley, she takes good care! Once again, Kelley is very friendly and patient with my high energy husky. I appreciate her fast responses and pictures.”
“Jilesa was very accommodating when we needed a last minute sitter and was flexible with pickup/drop off times. We had peace of mind since Jilesa clearly has experience with all types of animals. I know Pepper had a great time with all the smells and exciting farm activity. Will definitely be back!”
About: Hi! I’m so glad you’re here :) I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years professionally, and it’s something I genuinely love doing. Even while working full-time, I’ve always made time for pets because being around animals is where I’m happiest. At home, I share my life with five cats and two dogs, a snake, a bunny, and also my husband and daughter, so I truly understand that our pets aren’t just pets—they’re family. Whether your companion is playful, shy, energetic, or a senior who just wants a quiet cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also really excited to share that I’m now starting to branch out and turn this passion into my full-time career because caring for all animals is such a passion. My goal is simple: to give you total peace of mind knowing your pet is getting the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family and be someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand. My goal is to build long-term relationships with local families so your pets always have a familiar face they know and trust. Pet care for my own pets and yours is the primary focus of my days! I believe every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and, of course, plenty of affection and cuddles. If your pet enjoys walks, games, or simply relaxing on the couch with a companion, I'm happy to match their energy and preferences. I'm also comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering most medications when needed, and caring for senior pets or those who need a little extra patience and attention. I treat every home with the same respect I would expect for my own, and I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“This was my Shaka's first time with a Sitter since we relocated to Delaware. I was nervous at first because he had not been with a Sitter in over a year since moving here. However, as soon as we had our Meet and Greet with Myra all of that changed. He was nervous at first, but then she took his leash and began talking to him, walking him, rubbing him and giving him toys; I knew that she was the one! He showed me that he trusted her and both of our nerves calmed down. Myra kept me updated with daily texts and photos and I was able to see how relaxed and calm my baby was. I truly appreciate the care and love that Myra gave to my Shaka and I will definitely use her services again. I highly recommend Myra for all of your dog care needs.”
““I can’t thank Olinda enough for the amazing care she gave Ollie! From the moment we arrived, I could tell how excited and happy he was to be around her. Her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine love for dogs shine through. It’s such a relief to know Ollie was in such good hands.”
“Brooke was awesome with my dog. Being the first time she left with someone outside of our family member, she adjusted well and Brooke was great with her. Thank you Brooke for making me feel at ease with her being with you.”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She took amazing care of my puppy, Ziggy, and kept me updated on how he was doing throughout the day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and trustworthy hands. Ziggy had a great time playing outside, socializing with the other dogs, enjoying his treats, eating well, and getting plenty of fresh water. When I picked him up, he was happy and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and treats them like family, this is the person to trust. I’ll definitely be using her again for future dog sitting. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Ziggy”
“Jason was incredible with my two dogs. He was very communicative and let me know how they were doing while I was away. My dogs instantly were comfortable with him and in his home too, which says a lot for them. I would absolutely book with Jason again!”

“Melissa E. sat with our three 11 week old kittens while we were out of town for the day. She sent me pictures throughout the day and even crocheted them a toy!!! We will definitely be booking her for our summer vacation!!”
“Diana watched our kitty Gypsy again recently and did a great job. We really appreciate the care she gives him and the extras she does like watering the basil plant. I like that she gives detailed updates even when Gypsy was being a bad kitty.”
About: I've owned my beloved food-finicky senior cat for 4 years. I am proud that she has blossomed under my care! Listening to body language and giving space or cuddles when needed was key. Whether your feline wants a friend for life or a servant they can ignore I am on the job!
“FABULOUS caretaker! She made sure to send pictures of each of my 5 cats every day, had experience with the Sphynx breed herself, and went well above and beyond for us. My animals get fed a raw diet and due to a mix-up, 50+ pounds of meat got delivered while I was out of town. She made sure it got inside and in the freezer without even a hesitation! I didn't have to worry about them at all with Erin, and that itself was a blessing!”
“Cassie was absolutely so great with my cats Pib & Poe while I was away for the weekend! After a lot of commotion of my home being renovated and then having a trip away my cats were definitely confused as to what was going on lol! Cassie was so communicative and helpful and really put my mind at ease completely while I was gone. Cassie was super prompt, easy to talk to, and honestly fun to communicate with about the silly habits cats have lol!! I will definitely be booking with Cassie again during my next trip away. Thank you so much for taking care of my girls😊”

“Kate was fantastic taking care of Kyzer while we were camping at the Jersey Shore! She was communicative, reliable, and it was so clear how much she genuinely cared for him — she sent updates that put our minds completely at ease while we were away.

“Kirk was incredible to work with. I had asked him many questions and he got back to me quickly with answers. I have been struggling finding the perfect place to take my fur babies when I work long hours or am away for a night occasionally. He was flexible with the hours I needed for drop off and pick up. As soon as my dogs got there they were venturing around the enclosed fence area and seemed very happy. My maltipoo has separation anxiety and you wouldn’t have known it when I dropped her off to Kirk. My boxer is a puppy and Kirk was willing to take on having a high energy puppy for a long duration of time. I can’t say enough good things about Kirk for this being only my first time taking my dogs to him and his wife. I will be booking again immediately and have every intention of using Kirk and Anita for any needs I have in the future regarding doggy day care and/or overnight stays.”

About: I have been a pet appreciation magnet as long as I can remember. Even when I am not aiming for the attention, the pets gravitate my way, and i have scritches and belly rubs for them all.

I have experience in minor training, like sit/stay/leash leading, for a few breeds up to 50-70 lbs (no certificates, just repitition and patience). Positive recognition of good behavior and moderate activity (to remedy the bad behavior) when you need me are what I hope to share with your furry family members.

I also have a med to large dog kennel I can put in the way back of my SUV if that is preferred for safety and security.

About: I’ve had years of experience growing up with and caring for my family dogs. I miss having a dog (but not so ready to adopt one of my own) so hoping to help out those in the neighborhood who need an extra hand with their furry friend for the day, night or weekend. I have tons of love and experience to give!! I work from home freelancing part-time so have a lot of time and energy to dedicate to your pup! Walks, boarding, companionship, anything they need! I don’t have any pets in my home, so no worries about your fella getting along with anyone else. I have a great fenced in yard out back of my townhouse.

“Jenny was absolutely wonderful!!! Our reservation depended on the plans of others and she was very flexible with the changes we had to make. An added bonus was that the doggies were happy. I will definitively select her the next time that we go out of town!”
“It was obvious during the meet and greet when I introduced my 3 dogs to Rebecca that they were going to be in good hands! Rebecca loves dogs and it shows. My dogs took to her right away, and I know I will book with her again! I’m extremely grateful to Rebecca for the peace of mind she gave me, and for providing me with updates and pictures during their stay with her.”
“Jen took very good care of my dog and I will definitely use her again to sit. She was very nice and communicated with me from the 1st meet-up and up until I picked Kobe up. Thanks again Jen”
“Diana was absolutely great! She kept in contact with me the entire time and always send pictures and videos. She is such a sweet and loving person that truly cares for animals. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again.”
“I have no worries when my pup is in the hands of Kelley, she takes good care! Once again, Kelley is very friendly and patient with my high energy husky. I appreciate her fast responses and pictures.”
“Jilesa was very accommodating when we needed a last minute sitter and was flexible with pickup/drop off times. We had peace of mind since Jilesa clearly has experience with all types of animals. I know Pepper had a great time with all the smells and exciting farm activity. Will definitely be back!”
About: Hi! I’m so glad you’re here :) I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years professionally, and it’s something I genuinely love doing. Even while working full-time, I’ve always made time for pets because being around animals is where I’m happiest. At home, I share my life with five cats and two dogs, a snake, a bunny, and also my husband and daughter, so I truly understand that our pets aren’t just pets—they’re family. Whether your companion is playful, shy, energetic, or a senior who just wants a quiet cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also really excited to share that I’m now starting to branch out and turn this passion into my full-time career because caring for all animals is such a passion. My goal is simple: to give you total peace of mind knowing your pet is getting the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family and be someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand. My goal is to build long-term relationships with local families so your pets always have a familiar face they know and trust. Pet care for my own pets and yours is the primary focus of my days! I believe every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and, of course, plenty of affection and cuddles. If your pet enjoys walks, games, or simply relaxing on the couch with a companion, I'm happy to match their energy and preferences. I'm also comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering most medications when needed, and caring for senior pets or those who need a little extra patience and attention. I treat every home with the same respect I would expect for my own, and I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Brooke was awesome with my dog. Being the first time she left with someone outside of our family member, she adjusted well and Brooke was great with her. Thank you Brooke for making me feel at ease with her being with you.”
“This was Bubba’a second time with Beth and she is AMAZING. I drove an extra hour before my trip just so bubba could stay with her. She is always sending updates and if she has any concerns or questions is sure to ask before preceding. I can also contact her and she’s quick to respond during the day. So thankful to have found her to watch my boy! Will be returning next time too!”
“Carrie was wonderful! My dog, Murphy, seem to really enjoy staying at her home. Carrie sent me pictures throughout our time away showing me that Murphy was having a good time. This made us feel very good. Drop off and pick up were very easy and I would highly recommend Carrie to anyone who’s looking for a dog sitter.”
“Emily was amazing with my furbabies, she made sure to be attentive to their every need. She treated my furbabies as her own, I was so please on all the photos that she sent me while I was away, to ease my separation anxiety, lol. My furbabies loved her, and I really, loved her set up and how she manages her time with each individual furbaby. Thank you so much Emily, for taking care of my furbabies, I would definately leave them with Emily again.”
“Zackie was very good with our dog. It was a blessing that we found her and to be so close. She always provided updates with photos and Chanel looked very happy. I love how she gets plenty of exercise with her too. Thank you and we will definitely see you again!”
“Our dog Cooper seemed so happy during his overnight boarding. He normally doesn’t eat at first when being boarded but he was enjoying a treat and eating his breakfast within moments of being dropped off. We received thoughtful updates and photos and Cooper was relaxed, comfortable and had settled in so quickly. Fantastic communication and quick responses made our trip stress free; we knew our dog was in good hands!”
About: I have 3 year old collie/heeler mix pup. I can come and walk or run your dog any time of the day and am willing to sit your animals while you are away in your own home, I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I can also do cat care and other small animals as well. We recently lost my cat of 18 years so I love cats and miss having them around! I also have horse experience, own my own and have been riding for over 20 years. I love animals, all of them (you can ask my husband). I will treat your furbabies as if they were my own and they will get a ton of affection and attention while I visit.
“We were nervous to drop our 12 yr old dog with a sitter, but Kate eased our minds immediately by sending us frequent photos and updates over the 4 days we were away. We will definitely use Kate’s services again!!”
“Deanna was absolutely amazing, and we will definitely be booking with her again! We left Remi with her for a week while we were on vacation, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. The daily texts and photos were such a wonderful bonus and made us smile every day. A special thank you to Deanna for being so patient, caring, and loving as Remi adjusted to being around other dogs and all the new sights and smells. We truly appreciate everything she did to make him feel comfortable and cared for. Thank you so much, Deanna—we couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
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.
