“Jenny was fantastic, my boys were happy and well taken care of. Her Pack is well behaved and well mannered making being my boys very easy. Jenny communicated excellent so there was no guessing during my boy’s boarding. Thank you again Jenny!”



“Jer was wonderful with my 2 dogs. She sent me daily updates, which put me at ease. She really cared about them. We will be sure to use her again when we are out of town. Thank you, Jer, for loving my dogs”


“Barbra and her family were the BEST decision we ever made!! We just got a dog and had a trip we could not cancel (scheduled before we got a dog) and were nervous about what to do. Choosing Barbra made everything so perfect. She was so attentive caring and kind, treated our dog as if it was her own. In fact i think our dog and her dog are new BFFs now ?. We got updates, pics and videos while we were gone to take all the nervousness away…she’s the absolute best, with a fantastic yard for the dogs to play. I don’t think our dog wanted to leave!! It was like a vacation for him too lol. Highly recommend Barbra and will definitely use again!!!”


“Erin was so amazing, my dog sitter canceled last min and I found Rover and sent messages out and she responded in minutes to watch our dog for us. She met Blue the day before which was great so he can be familiar with her. My dog has never been away from the family and even though he was nervous and sad Erin kept in contact with me and kept me updated on everything. She even sent photos. Erin is great with dogs and very kind:)”


“Jen is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She is so good with handling dogs, even when mine has an attitude sometimes, and she always communicates with us very well and sends lots of pictures. Our dog loves her and we will rebook her again!”


“Katherine and her family were absolutely amazing to my little guy. She sent me lots of updates and pictures of him while I was away which I loved. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”


“Kari was an awesome sitter for Brew! She accepted our request at the very last minute (much appreciated) and her family showed him a ton of love while he was there. She’s a great communicator and very caring. Brew came home so tired from all of their adventures. Thank you!”



“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.”


“Emily was amazing! She took such great care of my girl while I was on vacation. Sent me updates and photos the whole time. I get nervous leaving my shepherd with anyone but with Emily, I felt confident she was in good hands. Will definitely use her to book any other stays from here on out.”


“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting Busara with the care of our 9-month-old kitten for five nights, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the outset, Busara demonstrated exceptional professionalism and genuine affection for our kitten. Throughout our trip, she kept us consistently informed, sending regular updates and photos that showcased our kitten’s well-being and playful moments. Her attentive communication provided us with peace of mind, knowing our pet was in caring and capable hands. Upon our return, it was evident that our kitten had been well-cared for, appearing content and healthy. Busara’s dedication and attention to detail exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter.”


“Katherine clearly has a great love of dogs and animals in general. When I picked up my dog Frannie, while it was clear she was happy to see me, she was also sad to leave. If we are ever needing boarding on the Eastern Shore again, we would go right back here.”


“Amazing stay for my pup! Shatera treated my Little Girl like her own and gave me constant updates on her progress, play time and even helped me figure out her eating habits! My Pup will definitely be going back to the best Dog Air BnB in Delaware !”


“I would definitely recommend Sureya to keep your pet. My Koda is very shy, barks at most people especially men ?. When I dropped him off he never barked. He went right to her. She’s very warm and inviting and i would absolutely rebook with her.”


“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!”



“Terri was a lifesaver! Our usual boarding place suddenly shut down the day before our beach vacation. I found Terri on Rover and she was quick to respond, super accommodating and did a terrific job with updates via text messages plus pictures and videos! My kids enjoyed seeing Nala in action and it gave us peace of mind knowing that she was cared for. We will use Terri again in the future!”
