A White Oak Vacation

I have been caring for and loving dogs for 50 years. Our guest dogs have a fun time here at White Oak. I give the best of care in my lovely home which is close to Rehoboth, Lewes and Dewey. We have a great outdoor partially fenced area and a wrap-around screened- in porch which provides for lots of supervised outdoor time if they want it. I leash walk in my neighborhood. Your dog must be comfortable on a leash with no pulling. I work hard at keeping your dog safe and happy. I generally host overnight only four dogs at a time so I can give them lots of attention and love. Being home full time gives me the opportunity to get to know your dog and give your dog the vacation that you would like her/him to have. My policies are: Day care: maximum 8 hours- $40.00 Overnight care: 24 hours- $50.00. The latest arrival and pick up time is 8 pm. The earliest is 7 am. I usually do not answer overnight and daycare requests after 8 pm. We are sleeping by 9 pm. But we are early risers- We can communicate anytime after 5 am. Looking forward to caring for your dog.

Couldn’t have been a better stay! Great communication with frequent updates including pictures. Mary Sue obviously enjoys dogs and our Lucy loved her.

Mary Sue is a trusted dependable sitter for our dog Dory. Dory loves going to Gram’s house, and gets all the love and care she receives at her own home. Thank you!

Mary Sue is the best! She loved my sweet Murphy for 2 weeks while we were at the beach. She sent tons of pics and let me come visit as well. Highly recommend!

Mary Sue was an incredible sitter for our two girls. One of our dogs is very anxious and she was very understanding of that. She sent updates multiple times per day about how the girls were doing, how they were adjusting, and what they did that day. Her house was so lovely and the girls really enjoyed porch time and socializing with the other small dogs. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation because we knew our dogs were in good hands.

Pets

A typical day

We can play on the porch. I take 3 walks a day with each dog. One is not quite a mile and 2 are about 1/2 mile each.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Mary Sue can host up to 4 pets per night
What is the weight of your dog? I am happy to care for dogs that are 50lbs and under since I leash walk and often have smaller dogs visiting. Is your dog a pit bull or pit bull mix? I do not take care of the pit bull or pit bull mixes. Unfortunately, I have had two bad experiences with this breed and mix.
