“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!!!”

“Olive recently spent 8 nights with Jen. Jen was wonderful. I received 3-4 texts a day with lots of photos. Olive went on 2 or more long walk each day, got lots of love and plenty of belly rubs. Jen and her husband treated her as their own and she fit right in!”

“This was our second time booking with Jill and Thomas, and once again, we had a wonderful experience! They took care of cucu for an entire week. They were incredibly responsive, provided daily updates (which gave us so much peace of mind), and were always quick to answer any questions we had. It’s clear they truly care about the pets they watch. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust with our pup, and we’ll definitely be booking again! :)”
“We were looking for someone to care for our Luna who would treat her like one of their own and keep her safe while we were away on vacation, and we found that person in Brittany. Her love for animals of all kinds and sizes is obvious and we are so grateful to have found a place like Safe Hayven Fields. The property is a perfect getaway with a large fenced in yard for running and playing, and the pool for pups that like to swim. Brittany is such a great caretaker, sending us daily photos and updates, even going above and beyond to replace Luna's bed when another pup made a hole in hers! We will be back and look forward to having Luna spend more time on the farm 💜”

“I could not recommend Samantha enough! She took such good care of our cat while on a week long trip. She sent super cute pics with updates everyday and really went above and beyond! She has made a customer for life out of me! Thank you, Samantha!! 5++ stars!”
“I'd give more than five stars if I could. Rachael looked after my two cats for a long weekend. One is very shy and timid in new places, and the other is needy and cuddly but can sometimes decide she'd rather hiss at you instead. Both were cared for with patience and understanding, and with more time I think they'd probably decide to stay there permanently. Thanks Rachael for being so accommodating!”
“Elizabeth was/is amazing ! she was prompt and great with messaging, sending photos , reaching out with any questions. the house is amazing obviously she cleaned up litter, hay , disposed of wet food cans ... I could not be happier ! It really made the difference in being able to relax on vaca especially with insane heat. She went above and beyond checking thermostat and adjusting as needed ! thank you - will be in touch next vaca .”

About: Over the past several months, I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions. Every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have experience administering medications to senior dogs and understand the importance of following care instructions carefully and consistently. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. When I house sit, I also take great pride in caring for your home. I always aim to leave it cleaner than I found it, so you can come home to happy pets and a tidy, well-cared-for space. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing both your furry family members and your home are in caring, reliable hands. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week as well as house sit for as long as you need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.
About: I have experience bathing all types of cats and know when to have boundaries set. And it’s a win win if you like your cat area to be neat again because I love cleaning and organizing things
“She was prompt and very patient with my cat. My cat is very skittish and is afraid of everything. Elizabeth came in every day and tried to coax her out and fed her and gave her her medicine. I would definitely use Elizabeth again.”
“Kelsey did a fine job for us. Dogs liked her and they got their daily walk in. This was our second time working with her. We’d request her again but our schedules aren’t working out this time.”
About: I always grew up with animals and went into college studying pre-veterinary medicine. I worked closely with veterinarian at an animal hospital gaining experience and knowledge on how to care for animals. My daily routine is organized and dependable, allowing me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I make sure they stay on their normal schedule with feeding, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for animals to run around in. And a good trunk space and seat accommodations for car rides.
About: My passion for animal care began at age 8 and spans over 13 years of hands-on experience. Through caring for personal pets across different life stages, I developed foundational knowledge in animal behavior, nutrition, wellness needs, and recognizing signs of illness. Currently, I work as a veterinary assistant at a general practice clinic, where I assist with routine examinations, diagnostic procedures, and treatment protocols while providing compassionate care to animals and educating pet owners. I am presently enrolled in the Veterinary Technology Program at Delaware Technical Community College, pursuing comprehensive training in animal health, medical procedures, and veterinary science. This formal education, combined with my professional experience and lifelong dedication to animal welfare, has developed my technical skills in diagnostic equipment operation, laboratory techniques, and advanced animal handling. My extensive background demonstrates a unique combination of natural compassion, developing technical proficiency, and unwavering commitment to animal care
About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 25 years. I grew up in a home full of pets and can’t remember a time without them. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even a lizard. As an adult, I’ve chosen to adopt rescue dogs and guinea pigs because helping animals has always been important to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time so I have the time to care of your pets and take care of all their needs. My availability is flexible most days. I can do whatever you prefer for your pets in your home. Whatever their routine is, how you like things to be done to keep them feeling safe and comfortable.
“Christina took excellent care of our two cats and a hermit crab while we were away for a whole holiday week. The update notes and photos made us feel so much better while we were so far away. Her knowledge and skills gave us complete confidence, and we would absolutely book with her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and pets most of my adult life, including flying to other states to house and pet sit for family and friends. I’ve administered subcutaneous injections, managed the special diets of multiple cats & taken pride in the care I give in the absence of the pet parent.

“I was in town for a family celebration and needed someone to watch Zeus for a few hours. I’m so happy to have found Olinda. She took amazing care of him. She is very sweet and very accommodating! Zeus took to her right away and had a blast playing in her fenced in backyard! She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout his visit! I will absolutely use her services again the next time we are in town. Thank you Olinda! You were great!”

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter ! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Sureya connected with my dog immediately. She got down to his stature level and rubbed and hugged him, at that point I knew he was in good hands. Sureya took my dog Corbin without a two hour notice and I was so thankful especially being away from home. Sureya took great care of Corbin and I will definitely use her again when near the area.”

“Abigail and her husband Daniel provided my dog Peace with a safe and comfortable place to rest and recover after his oral surgery. I felt reassured and gained complete peace of mind while I attended appointments throughout the day that I could not miss. I feel completely comfortable to reach out to Abigail again if I need more support for Peace. Grateful for their care of him.”

About: I have over 20 year experience owning, showing and competing dogs for clients as well as my own. I have titled/finished dogs in conformation shows and agility and currently own working German shepherds that are trained for personal protection. I have worked with animals my entire life from dogs to horses and everything in between, I’ve worked for many boarding/ doggie daycare facilities and worked as a hospital tech at animal hospitals. I am extremely confident working with any breed or temperament! I currently own and manage a small farm raising sheep, goats and cows which gives me a lot of free time I’m looking to fill. I am home all day and can take care of your pets while you are working or away I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs that can keep your pups entertained during their stay and if they are not dog friendly we can accommodate that as well!

About: I grew up on retired farm land, so I gained lots of experience raising and training several dog breeds, all sizes and ages. We rescued and fostered several dogs, cats, and rabbits over the years. As an adult I started fostering dogs and rabbits myself. Until recently, I was fostering primarily dogs. I have 2 shepheards and 2 pitbulls permanently placed in my home, as well as a dwarf rabbit. 2 of my dogs are trained and registered as service animals. I have a very adaptable home with lots of indoor/outdoor play space, as well as space to be separated as needed. I are very particular about keeping our food and water bowls clean with washing every day. I am happy to love you fur babies! There is rarely ever a time my pets are home alone. They all free roam and coexist peacfully, so I have a very calm house usually. We have a go out/walking schedule we follow to ensure proper exercise, as well as a secure feeding routine. My fiancé works full time, so I am the full time caretaker of the animals. Stranger pets in my home are introduced calmly and carefully, as to maintain a safe environment for all. Higher energy dogs meet my shepheards first, calmer animals meet my old boy first. My animals stay leashed infront of guests until a calmness has been reached. I have separate feeding bowls for all animals, water is communal as to resist territorial behavior. If calmness can not be reached, I have space to separate any unrully animals as needed. As a stranger in another animals home, I aproach very calmly and happily to respect their space. I am very adaptable to understanding and applying a feeding/walking schedule. Play time is always important, and my favorite part of the day! Lots of play time and pets are given to fur babies.

“Deanna is AMAZING. Highly recommend her. My dogs loved her and she really went the extra mile to help me out. She sent lots of pictures, has awesome yard and pet play room. She bonded with my pups and they were excited to see her again.”
“I am always nervous about leaving my anxious dog with new people but Emily was fantastic. She communicated and handled him with care. I even got photos of a clearly fun day. I can trust her and will for sure be back!”

They were incredibly responsive, provided daily updates (which gave us so much peace of mind), and were always quick to answer any questions we had. It’s clear they truly care about the pets they watch. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust with our pup, and we’ll definitely be booking again! :)”
“We were looking for someone to care for our Luna who would treat her like one of their own and keep her safe while we were away on vacation, and we found that person in Brittany. Her love for animals of all kinds and sizes is obvious and we are so grateful to have found a place like Safe Hayven Fields. The property is a perfect getaway with a large fenced in yard for running and playing, and the pool for pups that like to swim. Brittany is such a great caretaker, sending us daily photos and updates, even going above and beyond to replace Luna's bed when another pup made a hole in hers! We will be back and look forward to having Luna spend more time on the farm 💜”

Fantastic communication and quick responses made our trip stress free; we knew our dog was in good hands!”
