I started For the Love of Dogs when I was 11 years old as a way to connect with dog owners in my neighborhood since I didn't have a dog of my own. I got my own dog when I was 13 years old but continued to dog walk, which expanded into pet sitting and house sitting.

In January 2013, I incorporated and became For the Love of Dogs LLC. During this time, I also brought on three wonderful employees who care just as much for animals as I do. Working with animals feeds my soul and is a passion of mine that I hope to share with you! It is not just about connecting with your pets but also about the relationship we form with you.

Our services are offered in Wilmington and the surrounding area as well as parts of Pennsylvania. We offer dog walking, pet sitting (where we make visits to your home) and house sitting (where we stay with your pet in your home, both watching over the house and your furry, scaly, feathered and more loved ones). Rates are based on location, number of pets, temperaments of pets, and the length of time required to meet all needs. We are comfortable administering medicine, from eye drops to insulin shots. We are bonded and insured as well!

If you are looking for reliable and responsible pet care from people who provide outstanding service, you've found it!

Have peace of mind while you're away from home and call today. I promise you'll come home to happy, relaxed pets and your home the way you left it. I look forward to meeting with you!

Firstly, I'd like to note that I'm currently blocked from leaving a FB review on the For the Love of Dogs LLC Facebook page.

My wife, and I hired FLD from Wed Nov 13th in the evening, to Friday evening to provide 6 60-minute visits for our 2 dogs. We have strict rules for our pets that were quite clearly illustrated, most notably that our dogs are to stay in our large kitchen area when nobody is home so that they don't get into things around the house. When we arrived home we had found:

1.) Main door unlocked.

2.) Kitchen door (sunroom connects the main door, and kitchen area) ajar.

3.) The gate in the kitchen wide open, and our critters running around the house. Over the course of the day they had knocked over electronics, candles, and made a mess (#1 & #2) in our piano room.

After a 3+ hour drive back from Washington DC, it was not a great look for us to have to Bona 3 rooms because of an error on our sitters part. I wish I could say that that was our only complaint, on a whim we decided to check the logs for our security system to see when our sitter had last been there, and we were shocked to learn:

1.) Out of 6 60-minute visits, he only came 4 times.

2.) Not a single visit lasted an hour, one lasted 45 minutes, and the remaining 3 averaged 30 minutes.

This is absolutely unacceptable. I hope that nobody else will ever have to come home to a completely unsecured home after hiring this company. It's blatantly irresponsible, and there needs to be a better system for vetting sitters, and their actions while in a persons home.

For our trouble were were refunded $99 out of $168. I believe that we deserve a full refund, not a single service that we hired this company for was properly rendered. This is not acceptable.

Although I did not hire Leah, I appreciated her professionalism and prompt responses. Her resume is everything we could have wanted; unfortunately, we had just hired someone else for the job that morning. Leah and her business is worth taking a look at.
