About: I have several years of paid and volunteer experience with all animals, including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, rabbits, horses, and goats. Growing up, I had two dogs, one small and one medium. I also used to volunteer at a therapeutic horse-riding center for people with disabilities, where I groomed horses and cleaned their barns. I currently have two guinea pigs who are contained in cages, but are very curious, playful, and friendly with other animals. I'm an incoming Master's student who is currently working part-time this summer. I have a highly flexible schedule and short commute times, which gives me more time to care for your pets! I have spacious front and back yards where your pet can roam. I also have a doggy gate to block off the upstairs of my house if necessary, but our downstairs and upstairs are very dog-proof from years of caring for our previous pets. I live in a 3-bedroom home, providing ample room for your pet to explore and wander inside if they prefer the indoors. I also have dog bowls, leashes, toys, and food, ready for use.

About: I previously co-founded a dog training business, managing client relationships and operations, but I have since stepped away from it. Prior to that, I worked for Coaching for Paws, a renowned dog training business in northern Connecticut. I have been working with dogs for around five years and have experience with training basic obedience, dog walking, dog sitting, and overall care. I currently have most weekdays free to dedicate to your pups’ needs, which allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate different care needs and maintain reliable routines for pets, helping them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have lots of experience with different dogs and understand the needs of dogs and owners. I am able to meet any needs or criteria.

About: I specialize in small dogs and truly understand the extra care, gentleness, and attention they need. As a lifelong dog lover and experienced caregiver, I offer more than just walks. I create a calm, loving, and safe environment tailored to each pup’s personality and pace. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening snuggles, I’m available when you need me most. My schedule allows me to be consistent, reliable, and fully present with your pet, just like they deserve! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I treat each pup like a member of the family. I keep routines consistent, prioritize comfort and safety, and offer plenty of love and one-on-one attention, especially important for small breeds who thrive on close companionship. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, cozy, and calm environment, perfect for small dogs who prefer a quieter setting. Walks are relaxed, paws are protected, and playtime is always gentle and fun. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, reliable, and committed to following your instructions down to the last detail — whether it’s feeding schedules, puppy training cues, or simply how your dog likes to be tucked in at night. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, secure, and loved — no matter where we are.

Emily is the best! She has been doing weekly walks with my husky and he loves it. She always gives me great reports on how the walk went and let’s me know if anything happened I need to know. This week she let me know he had a few instances of vomiting during the walk and turned out he had an obstruction that required emergency surgery. Without her due diligence I might not have caught it in time. Such a fantastic pet guru!

Rachael did a great job with my dog Harry today! He came home happy & tired so that's a good thing. He ate his dinner quite heartily too, ha, ha! I'm looking forward to having her come back again hopefully on a regular basis for walks & see if we can get some weight off Harry as he is overweight for his size right at this stage in life. Thanks so much Rachael!

About: I’ve spent several summers caring for both cats and dogs as well as having them in my house growing up! I absolutely love giving them the attention they deserve, whether that’s playtime, walks, or cuddle time. As a 20 year old college student, I bring lots of energy, patience, and genuine love for animals. I enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re part of my own family I currently am a college student with mostly early morning classes, so I am up pretty early. I also am a soccer coach for Wilmington hammer heads which is about 2 hours Monday, Wednesday, Thursday nights. Other than that I am extremely flexible and am never busy for long periods of time! Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, safety and comfort always come first. I make sure pets have a clean, secure space, follow their normal routines, and give them plenty of attention so they feel at ease. My goal is to create an environment where pets are happy, loved, and cared for just like they would be with their family.
