About: Hi, I'm Kiran! With over a decade of experience caring for my three dogs and various pets like birds and bunnies, I truly love animals. Your pets will be in great hands with me! I am currently a student at Wilmington University and am available anytime after 11 a.m. due to lacrosse practice. Also I am available for house sitting overnight Since I have pets of my own. I only offer services at client homes. But I have lots of experience and will spend time throughout the day with your pet playing with them, feeding them and giving them water.

“Mia was an excellent sitter for our cats while we were away. She was prompt when responding to our booking requests and was easy to talk to during the meet and greet. Her notes after the visits were detailed and gave us comfort knowing everyone was doing well. She even took the time to play with the cats and give them each some attention during her short visits. Thank you Mia!”


“This was my first time since moving and having my cat alone so I was nervous to hire someone to check in on her. Tai was communicative, caring, friendly and sweet! She closely followed the instructions I left. I am so grateful for the last minute drop-in visit. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend her for anyone’s pet!”


“We cannot recommend Ronny highly enough! When another sitter backed out at the last minute, we reached out to Ronny on short notice. He responded promptly and was more than willing to come by for a meet and greet, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment he walked in the door, our cats were comfortable with him which is not always the case. Ronny took his time answering all of our questions and asked thoughtful questions of his own. Even though we admittedly have a very detailed list of instructions, he did an amazing job remembering all the little things and checking in regularly with messages and photos throughout his stay. It was clear that Ronny genuinely cared about making sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving everything exactly as we left it. He even went above and beyond by offering to clear our driveway after an unexpected snowfall. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile and treats your pets like their own, Ronny is absolutely the person to book!”

About: I’ve adored taking care of especially cats since I was just a little kid! I understand that they’re more likely to have pickier needs that dogs which I am always happy to adapt too! Maintaining a cats area and appearance is very important for them and I am willing to clean litter boxes, cat towers, and even the cat themselves with bathing and fur grooming. Medications are also not a problem, I have tricks to ensure your cat takes or is given proper treatments as needed. All I care about is ensuring you kitty-cat is healthy and happy no matter how friendly or distant they are!

About: I've had many cats over the years. I love taking care of them. They're very unique creatures at this time. I only currently have one dog, but I would love to care and take care of yours

About: I’ve been caring for and loving dogs my entire life, with extensive hands-on experience caring for large and senior dogs. I’ve volunteered over 1,000 hours at Damien’s Gift animal sanctuary, caring for animals with a wide range of needs. I’ve adopted large senior dogs and have experience with breeds including Kuvasz and Huskies. I’m comfortable with grooming, administering medications, and providing the patience and attention every dog deserves. I’ve opened my home to provide a temporary, loving place for many dogs when their owners faced homelessness, medical issues, or other difficult circumstances. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved dog in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog as one of my own. Availability I work part-time from home so I’m usually here with the dogs. I’m home and available most of the time, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you on your dog’s individual schedule and needs. Our Environment Your dog will stay in a peaceful, spacious 60-acre homestead at the end of a quiet road, surrounded by a creek and plenty of room to explore. I have a very secure, fully fenced large yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space to relax. I have miles of walking trails through the woods, around the fields and down to the creek. Inside my home, I have several kennels available if needed, including a large 5’ x 10’ kennel and a 3’ x 5’ kennel. Most importantly, dogs are treated as part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision.

“Jenny is amazing. Made me feel at ease from the first meet through the first week of daycare. She is flexible and helped me with all the transitions of a new sitter while starting a new job. Dog daycare was the least of my worries thanks to Jenny. Jaxx got everything he needed while I worked. Definitely recommend Jenny.”

Would love to have pet care as my fulltime hustle, I’m looking forward to building my client base and serving their needs to the best of my ability! I live in a complex that is very quiet and has a great walking community with play yards and other pups to play with if desired!
“Krista has dropped in and taken care of our dog and also our dog has done doggy daycare with her- both were great experiences! Krista is dependable and sent frequent check ups. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs of all different sizes and breeds since I was a young kid. I have always loved dogs and wanted my house full of them when I got older. This gives me a chance to care for all the dogs I’ve always wanted to. I have history with dogs that have different temperaments and know how to handle dogs of all different energy levels. I am a stay at home mom of two younger kids who love all animals so your pups will never be alone. I am always home and able to let them out for potty breaks and take them on nice long walks when the weather is nice! We are a family with a very flexible schedule and will be able to meet any of your pets needs at any time of the day or night. I have a large fenced in yard, lots of room for playing, running and relaxing along side of our very friendly dog named Eliza who loves having a buddy to play with. We have lots of room indoors as well as outdoors for snuggle time on the couch, floor or wherever they feel comfortable. We have an upstairs and downstairs so there is room for a crate if your pet feels more relaxed in there own space. I do also have a large crate unused if you can’t bring your own! I have the ability and practice of giving dogs medications if needed so anything your dog may need while staying with me will be no problem at all! We are an animal loving family who has a lot of care to give, we are very trustworthy and will always treat your pet like they’re our own!
About: I have taken care of my own pets and others for over 25 years. Our current house includes 3 dogs and 2 cats. I have a lab, golden and corgi. I also welcome foster animals into our home when i can. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have flexibility to visit multiple times a day or host in my own home.

I keep extra crates in my home to use.

About: I was raised as a child with pets - fish, cats and of course dogs. Growing up we had 2 Irish Setters a Chihuahua and multiple cats. As an adult I started off with just having multiple cats and then began to have dogs enter my life again. I had a very loving Pit Bull for a short period of time and a few years later I adopted a Boston Terrier who is now 13 years old. In addition to my senior dog, I now also have a 1 ½ year old Boston and 1 senior cat. I never had children so these are my kids and my extended family. I do everything I can to ensure they have a loving home and are well cared for and I will do the same for your four-legged kids :) With a lot of patience I have been able to do a few simple commands with my dogs. I have experience with potty training a puppy and also have extensive experience with senior dogs as my senior is currently half blind, has incontinence issues (at times) and has trouble walking. I currently can be home during the day and am usually home in the evenings and on weekends. When I know im pet sitting i stay home so my focus is on your pet. I spend a lot of time playing, walking and giving love to my pets. I will do the same for yours. I have a large unfenced yard but also have a dog park nearby that i utilize. My pets are on a regualr feeding schedule and I will adhere to any directions or special needs you may have,

“Cynthia is absolutely awesome! She is great with Tucker and leaves you very detailed and funny rover cards. She sends plenty of pictures and videos so I know my baby is having fun and enjoying her company!”

About: Taking care of dogs and cats has been my specialty since I was a child! I have had 8 dogs of all kinds, as well as 10 cats, not including my grandmother’s. My family and neighbors would trust me to feed and water their pets while they were away. I am great at crating puppies and socializing feral/young kittens. It’s always a pleasure to brush or bathe pets depending on their size! I am working a part-time job at Petsmart so my day is already filled with furry faces! But I will still have plenty of days where I can come take care of your puppy or kitty! My schedules are usually two weeks out so I have plenty of notice of when I am free. Contact me of a day when you’d like me to care for your pet and I will let you know the earliest I am available that day! Unfortunately I am not in a position to invite pets into my home… I am figuring out my living situation and will update this section when I have a suitable place for pets to visit!
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our dog received while we were away on vacation. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt loved, comfortable, and well-exercised every single day. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. From daily walks and playtime to thoughtful updates and photos, everything was handled with professionalism and genuine love for animals. Our dog absolutely adored her and it showed! We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything about the quality of care provided. We are so grateful and highly recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional with dogs!”

“This was Ruby’s first time being walked by someone other than a family member- so she was a little nervous! But Ronny made a nervous momma and pup feel at ease right away. He greeted Ruby with a smile and happy puppy talk. Clearly she enjoyed the walk as she’s passed out at my feet!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my family all of my life. Along the way I’ve also shared space with birds, fish, reptiles, rodents, and even a horse and some cattle when I was a ranch hand. Right now, I’m getting into dog behavior and training. I’m pro Mother Nature in all things! I currently have three days off a week, so I will have plenty of time for visits and walks, to get some exercise, and be fed. For dogs, I offer walks and play time, along with feeding if necessary. For cats, I offer feeding, box cleaning, and play time. I have no problem feeding and caring for exotic pets or giving medication to any pets
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years now. I have three pups of our own and come from a family of pet lovers! Love spending time with pups and helping them keep comfortable in the comfort of their own home. I work full time in a flexible and hybrid environment.

I will work with each pet family’s care guidelines to make sure they are getting the best and stress free care! For us, we have a fenced in yard which helps us with ongoing activities.
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all different sizes and personalities! My three dogs always have my attention, and are treated like my children, just like yours would be! I prioritize safety, affection, comfort, trust, and patience. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your animals! I pretty much have open availability until I figure out a more firm schedule. I can do whatever your pets need, walks, play, crate time, feedings, and of course, cuddles!!! I will not be offering time spent at my house due to already having three dogs and no fenced in yard.
