Experienced Mom-Daughter Duo!

*Please note we are not accepting any bookings less than 2 nights* (except day care and existing clients) 20+ years of experience in petsitting and boarding. Pet first-aid and CPR certified. Born and raised in Wilmington, Amy attended BHS and Goldey-Beacom College. Cathy is a retired teacher. We host dogs in our North Wilmington home (fenced yard), or Amy can come to you. It's not unusual that Cathy is watching 2-4 dogs at our house, while I stay at someone's home. We have 1 dog ourselves, a female lemon beagle named Sammie, who is wonderful with visitors. Many references available! We treat your pets like they were our own. Our house is filled with water bowls, dog beds, treats, and lots of love. Pets are welcome to sleep in the human bed, in crates, or dog beds. We require a meet and greet before any boarding or sitting takes place. Please note we have a hard weight limit of 30 pounds per pet. We look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!

Amy & Cathy were fabulous with my pups. And they were easy going when I needed to extend their stay. The dogs loved their home set-up and easy access to a beautiful, private, secure back yard. I highly recommend.

Amy and Cathy took our two dogs in for two weeks while we were in Japan. It's clear that they're both avid dog lovers, so I had no worries while away because I knew the pups were in great hands! They texted a few updates and pictures as well. We could tell our dogs were having a good time with good people. I would absolutely recommend Amy and Cathy!

Doggy Day Care • Jan 14, 2026

Cathy and Amy were wonderful and took great care of our Doggo! They are super friendly and create and joyful environment for the visiting dogs. As soon as I heard my dog was relaxed in the dog bed outside the bedroom and the kitchen I knew we found great sitters for our dog:)

Schedule

We have a high focus on pet care. Cathy is a part-time tutor and is gone a few hrs per week, and Amy works hybrid (some office, some from home) each week, so 1 or both of us are home almost all of the time.
