Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ocean View
“We were a bit apprehensive about leaving our 2-year-old Cavapoo, Ollie, with a sitter for the first time, but Sylvia put our minds at ease the moment we met her. She is incredibly caring and attentive. I loved receiving the photo updates showing Ollie happy and enjoying his stay—it meant I didn't have to worry about him at all! I can’t recommend Sylvia enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Carlie was a pleasure to work with and was super communicative with me for our Goldens care...She was also flexible and understanding when an unexpected sickness arose (which was not related to her care in any way) Would recommend her and will use her again for sure!”
“Megan watched our Charlotte and kept us up-to date with her activities. She cared for Charlotte as if she was her own! This was definitely an upgrade to leaving her at a kennel. Megan is super kind and thoughtful. Our Charlotte loved her vacation so we could, stress free, enjoy ours.”
“Jessica was great. She responded very quickly on very short notice. Felt very good dropping Leif off and Leif looked great picking him up. I would use this boarder again in the future.”
“Cory was friendly and knew a lot about puppies. We were very comfortable leaving our six month old Finnegan with him. He has a big yard and a fenced in deck. I would bring Finnegan the next time I’m in the area.”
“Always an excellent experience. Our Gingy girl loves going to Janice's and we love the peace of mind we have working with Janice. She asks for vaccination records and checks in to confirm all the details - it's so comforting to know our dog is in such good care and that she maintains a high standard. We 1000% recommend Janice.”
“Kelly is awesome! We went to Ocean City to spend some time at the beach and Kelly is just off the main route coming from Northern Virginia. She took great care of our dog for three nights and sent us pictures at the end of each day, totally unexpected. Besides being great with animals she is just a great person. If you are in here area I would recommend giving her your business!!”
“Mary Sue made me feel comfortable as soon as I pulled in her driveway with Ava. She is extremely accommodating and attentive of the dogs in her care. I didn't worry once about Ava for the four days I was gone. I will definitely be calling Mary Sue the next time we go for a short weekend trip or extended vacation. Mary Sue was wonderful!”
“This is our third time having Jenna watch our pups in our home. She does a wonderful job of keeping them safe and sharing photos with us each day. She also takes very good care of our home and leaves it very clean and tidy after her stay. I will continue to book Jenna as I know she is responsible, caring and communicative when it comes to my pups. Thanks Jenna!”
“Michelle was very attentive to our dog Mickey and took him on many walks which they both enjoyed. We loved getting lots of photos of Mickey and, when we picked him up, he was brushed so nicely that he almost looked groomed.”
“Bob was fantastic and his location is very convenient if you're staying in OC and can't bring your pup to your hotel. He sent lots of videos and photos throughout our stay, which we really appreciated, and he even gave our dog Lila some special gifts and treats. He was extremely responsive, caring, and accommodating. We'd book with him again if we're back in the area.”
“Debby was a wonderful pet sitter! I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care and knew he was safe, happy, and well taken care of. She even checked in with a picture of him. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Margot was a complete host! We felt at ease using this Rover for the time, and relaxed that we picked the right Dod-Lover! My Winnie felt very comfortable with Margit ‘s other Rescue dogs. I highly recommend Margit and this Beautiful home!. Thanks again. Tom N.”
“Lori was able to accommodate a last-minute sitter request for our senior dog and we are so appreciative. Our little guy, Finn, didn’t make it easy for her either particularly during feeding times. Lori hung in there and worked with him patiently. There was a high level of communication throughout his stay and lots of updates and photos too. Thank you Lori!!”
“It was a pleasure working with Kathy. She is responsive and attentive with communication. I can tell she genuinely loves dogs and enjoys getting to know their personalities. Her home is clean and well cared for, the neighborhood is residential and safe for dog walking just as described. Sadie is a most gracious host too. Thank you for taking such good care of my Hawk. Talk to you in November!!”
“Collen was great. Wiyot is was so relaxed when I picked him up and he us usually a hyper type doodle. I would not hesitate to have Wiyot stay again. Thank you so much for a worry free visit.”
“My 2 girls were so happy with Sandee, i could not have asked for better care of my two spoilt pups! I am very grateful to Sandee for taking my girls for the afternoon, which freed us up to do the necessary things related to purchasing a home. I won't hesitate to go back to Sandee and trust her with my precious fur babies. Thank you Sandee!!!!”
“Kelly was wonderful. My little Maggie was happy and well taken care of. The yard is well fenced and shady. Maggie got along very well with Kelly’s two dogs. I would highly recommend Kelly!!!!!!!”
“They were great! They kept my wife and I informed of the dogs wellbeing everyday with photos and text. We had a late pick up on Sunday due to our drive and they were very accommodating.”
“Our Zoli received such awesome care while with Bob and Susan, we were worried she’d be bored coming back with us!! Bob and Susan went above and beyond our expectations and we could see via daily pictures from Susan how happy Zoli was playing with the other pups at the house. I knew immediately upon speaking with both Bob and Susan prior to our trip that Zoli was going to the perfect place...and it truly was!! I highly recommend Susan & Bob!! We will always use them when traveling to the Rehoboth Beach area!!”

Cat caregivers near you - Ocean View
“Abby was an excellent caretaker for our two cats! She did an awesome job of communicating with us, sending regular updates, and truly taking the time to keep the kitties company. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Kasey took great care of our cat, Mila and sent lots of pictures. She was very communicative as well. We will definitely think of her again if we need a pet sitter.”
“Melanie did a great job with my two cats. They are new to the home and getting adjusted. They always seemed relaxed and happy after her regular visits. They are fed and their litter boxes scooped. I would recommend Melanie as a cat sitter.”
“I highly recommend Iuliana as a cat sitter. She is dependable, trustworthy, and truly cares about the pets she looks after. Knowing my cats were in her care gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Iuliana is always prompt, communicates regularly, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. She is kind, compassionate, and has a natural way with animals that immediately puts both pets and owners at ease. My cats were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I returned home, which speaks volumes about the attention and affection she gave them.”
“This was our second time booking with Jennifer, and once again she was wonderful. We have two cats, including one with diabetes who requires blood glucose monitoring and insulin injections, so finding someone we completely trust is incredibly important. She handled their care with confidence, kept us updated with messages and photos, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Sydney is fantastic! She house-sat for us for five nights, caring for our elderly cat, Frankie, while we were out of the country. Frankie has medical issues that require frequent medication every 6–8 hours, and Sydney handled it all with ease. She had no trouble administering his pills and liquid meds and kept us updated with photos and messages at least three times a day. Knowing Frankie was in such capable hands made our trip much more relaxing. We will definitely ask for Sydney’s help again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“I was beyond pleased with the services I received from Neena. She was very accommodating and sent pictures and updates of my pet while he was with her. I would definitely use her services again in the future!!”
“Carlie was amazing with our Binx! Our feeder went offline and she went into action! She posted photos and followed up with us to make sure we knew we didn’t have to worry. Can’t recommend Carlie enough!”
About: I’ve been volunteering with an animal shelter since 2018, and still work with them today. I’ve dealt with many different temperaments, breeds, and sizes. Within the shelter and outside of it at our events, I’ve gained a lot of experience and confidence when it comes to kitties.
“Jenna was very responsive. She respected my home but more importantly she took care of my 2 kitties for about 10 days. She made sure all their needs were cared for (fresh water, food and clean litter). I felt good about leaving them with Jenna.”
“After another sitter canceled last minute, Emily was able to come in and watch my cats on short notice (over the holiday, at that!) She always did her check-ins in a timely manner and provided detailed updates. I’m very happy and would book with her again.”
About: Hi and thanks for stopping to read more. I’m an animal lover. I’m patient and attentive to each fur kids needs and personalities. If they are on a routine, diet or have special needs, feel less stressed knowing it will be done. I have a diabetic dog so I am comfortable with administering shots and understand the importance of schedules, dietary needs and alertness for behavior. All the fur cats and dogs are welcomed anywhere in the home and on furniture, including cuddles for naps. I love playing, loving and training. I’ve trained one of my fur kids (Bella) to be my service animal. And because every breed has their own DNA hardwire, I make sure I’m aware of their general habits. I am a full time FurMom and am the go to person when someone needs a sitter because I don’t have other commitments and I can stay home, walk, train and/or care. I have an enclosed backyard patio with some dirt area for the bathroom and concrete to sun bathe. I also have a roof top deck fenced in if it’s a nice day for sun and breeze. I live in a really dog friendly neighborhood and have 3 floors for stretching their legs. I have a spare bedroom for anyone to relax in and an indoor camera to see monitor I am at home full time to pet sit and am able to maintain timely health care, recreation, feedings for your loved furry loved ones. Everyone is welcomed wherever they feel comfortable and safe. I have a quiet room separately if needed and I let my dogs out every 2-3 hours for bathroom breaks and continuous refreshing water. For my cats, I make sure all their preferences are in order and litter is cleaned out daily. I’ll spend laser chase and smart games throughout the day.
“Cammie house sat for us and took great care of our beloved kitty cat! I can tell he was very happy and calm while she was here. I’m so grateful to have such a wonderful caregiver here to make sure my baby has everything he needs❤️”
About: I believe that dogs need walks!! Not just let out to go to the bathroom, but real physical activity! Dogs need to see the world around them - this makes there temperament better equipped to handle strangers and other animals. I have a sweet yellow lab who thinks she is human -- no, really!!!! My Jags wants to play all the time. She loves other dogs - we are a dog lovin family! I believe that giving dogs proper exercise is what may set me apart from other sitters -- Im a fast walker. I am a responsible adult who cares deeply for the comfort and well being of all animals!! Fresh water is a must as well. I can't wait to meet your pup! Thanks for considering me. I’m very flexible! I work from home and that allows me to be flexible with my schedule – thank you so much! I look forward to serving you! I care for each pet as my own- I love fitness and making sure dogs and cats get the care and attention they deserve and require!
About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.
About: Hi there! My name is Valentina and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own. I am a pet lover, young and old, big and small! I lived most of my childhood surrounded by farm animals: cows, goats, sheeps, dogs, birds, cats, pigs. Growing up, I had different dogs and cats that I cared about as pets at my gransparent's house. Then, I've bought a Pug named Max. He is 12 years old now. Moving to US 1 year ago made it difficult to see him. He remained with my family back in Europe. I miss him so much and I will care and treat any pet the same as Max. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding, I’ve got experience with it all! Teaching them tricks, long walks or just playing with them was always a fun time! Any specific requests for them ? Let me know! I will keep the pets happy and healthy!

“Neena responded right away and was available and gracious in regard to my last minute request! Neena was great at communicating and Daisy was happy and well cared for upon pick up! Would definitely book here again!”
“From the moment I met Colleen, I knew she would be a great pet sitter because my dogs immediately loved her!! I have a 2 year old Bernedoodle and 5 year old Bernise Mountain dog and Colleen welcomed them into her home like they were old friends! We happened to run into her while on a walk after we met and my dogs were so excited to see her. That told me everything I needed to know! I am one of those pet parents that is hesitant to leave my dogs with other people, but I feel so blessed to have found Colleen. I know I have found a true pet lover to watch my dogs if I must be away, and that gives me true peace of mind!!”
“Great communication! Clean and appropriate environment. Despite Axe's terrible anxiety, he loved Cory and never fussed one bit. We will definitely be using Cory's daycare again!”
About: I have had several dogs in my life through their entire life span. I recently lost my soul dog. Not ready to get another but because they bring me so much joy, I would love to take care of others. I have the time because I am retired. I also know the feeling of worrying that they are in the best care! I can assure you that they will be! I am retired for the most part. I teach yoga a few hours a week but I have plenty of time. I can take your dog for several walks, AM or PM. I do not have a fenced in yard but do have a very long leash to allow freedom in the yard. I also live in a great neighborhood with lots of dogs. My dog recently passed but we used to take lots of daily walks and had lots of interactions.
“Extremely calm and knowledgeable. Knew exactly how to introduce our Boston Terrier to her own dogs. Everything went smoothly. Her home was immaculate and organized. She sent pictures frequently. Our dog looked extremely relaxed and happy in her home. She came home exhausted from playing in their large fenced in yard. I felt very safe, leaving our precious pup with Meghan.”
“So glad to have found Christina to take care of our dog Lucky during our recent trip to the beach. She's warm and friendly and took care of Lucky as if he were her own. She communicated promptly and clearly. She was so flexible with our vacation schedule and sent us adorable pictures of Lucky throughout the day. I'd definitely rebook with Christina, no question.”

“Jessica is amazing with Fur babies. Very accommodating and professional. My Tug love going there. Its always a great day whenever he spends his day with her. Her dog Tashi is very good with other dogs. Tug's favorite retreat is his stay at Jessica's. Highly recommended 👌”
“I cannot say enough great things about Michele! She has given me my life back! I have two little rescues that are highly reactive and do not like anyone, so consequently I have been unable to leave them. After talking with Michele and getting a sense of her experience and patience with rescue.dogs such as mine I decided to give her a try...and it went beautifully! My dogs had a great time with her and loved her...and cannot wait to go back again! Michele is truly not just very much a professional but is gifted with animals as well.”
“Jacqueline and William were great! We made a last minute reservation and they accommodated our drop off and pickup times which needed to be flexible since we were going kayaking and uncertain how long it would take. Will definitely use them again the next time we are Trap Pond.”
“Margit & Bill were absolutely WONDERFUL! We felt comfortable as soon as we arrived and really appreciated photos through out the day. Our pup Ripley had a great day and when we arrived, she was happy to see us but also was super happy to stay and hang out while we chatted. She was treated so well and they followed our feeding schedule. I would recommend them over and over again. Their pups are great and got along very well with ours. We look forward to using them again. Great, great GREAT!!!”
“Marcel had a great time with Bob and Susan. I was so glad to have found someone I felt comfortable with taking care of my baby for a week of daycare. I really appreciate you!”

About: I have been taking care of animals (both as a sitter and in my own home) for 20 years but have been a sitter for 13. I’ve taken care of all size and breed dogs (and cats) and am passionate about making sure they feel loved and taken care of while their parents are out of the house or on a trip! I have experience giving oral medications, and taking care of dogs with special needs. I have a 2 year old mini Daschund that has been with me since he was 8 weeks so I am very comfortable with the needs of puppy care. Ive also taken care of senior dogs and am very patient and attentive to any and all needs of my furry friends! I work from home full time so am totally available to show your animals my attention. For all services I would be available weekdays and weekend, and would arrange my work schedule around the care needs. I will be caring for animals in their own home as my family has a prickly frenchie who gets jealous of other dogs in her home!
“We were first time users this past weekend. Our dog Jasper proved very difficult. Jennifer went above and beyond trying to bond with Jasper. She kept us informed of the situation. We appreciate her extra efforts ❤️❤️”

When your pet stays with me in my home they will be treated like family with full range of the house. I want them to have the best and safest experience with me. I will take pictures and have my phone on at all times to communicate with you. Please rest easy knowing that I will take great care of your fur baby.

I live in a neighborhood with miles of sidewalks to safely walk dogs plus two large fenced dog parks for off leash fun and excersise. Having fostered pets for a shelter for many years, I am able to administer medications when needed. From young to senior I can handle housebroken pets of all ages with love. Medical records and up to date vaccinations are a must. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! I am retired so I can work with your pet's schedule. I love to walk and can take your pet out for long or short walks multiple times a day. I have a dog friendly home and live in a dog friendly neighborhood with two large dog parks and miles of sidewalks for safe excursions. Each dog park has separate areas for small and large dogs. Your pet's excersise schedule and diet will be followed!
“I have had the absolute pleasure of entrusting my beloved dog, Kimchi, to the care of Iuliana, and I must say, she is absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, it was clear that Iuliana possesses an extraordinary love and understanding for dogs. Kimchi instantly connected with her warm and caring demeanor. Iuliana's genuine passion for dogs radiates in every interaction. I was particularly impressed by Iuliana's incredible flexibility and understanding. Despite a last-minute change in my schedule, she graciously accommodated the time change for the walk. Her willingness to adapt to my needs without any hesitation truly speaks volumes about her dedication to the pets she cares for. The detailed updates provided after each walk were heartwarming. It was evident that Kimchi not only had a great walk but also thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Iuliana. She ensured Kimchi received the exercise, love, and attention that every dog deserves. Iuliana's reliability and professionalism are truly commendable. Knowing that Kimchi was in her capable and caring hands put my mind at ease. She exceeded all my expectations, making each walk a safe and enjoyable experience for my furry family member. If you're searching for someone who genuinely cares for your dog as if they were their own and consistently goes above and beyond, Iuliana is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional care for their furry companions. Thank you, Iuliana, for your exceptional service and for being an invaluable part of Kimchi's well-being!”

Whether they’re cuddly, quirky, or full of zoomies, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and so loved while you’re away. 🐶✨ I am available from 8am - 5pm! I don’t work during the day and can typically support at any time that you may need :) I live in a home with a small fenced in area in the back to let my dog out, roam and enjoy the outside but if that makes you uncomfortable, I can always use a leash!

About: Hello! I offer a specialized, ultra-attentive doggy daycare and boarding experience right here in Dagsboro. Unlike traditional high-volume environments, my business operates on a strict Constant Care model. This means your dog receives 100% direct human supervision and is never left unattended for longer than a quick bathroom break. Because I focus entirely on safety, peace of mind, and individualized attention, my rates reflect a premium level of service. My Safe-Graduation Setup: To protect my own small, senior dog and two cats, I utilize a careful, low-stress transition plan for all incoming guests: The Baseline Suite: Initial visits and early boarding periods take place in my secure, comfortable, and fully supervised basement area. I hang out right alongside your dog to bond with them and evaluate their unique personality. On-Leash Graduation: Once your dog is fully relaxed and comfortable with me, we graduate to controlled, on-leash introductions in our secure outdoor space. Secure Play Yard: Your pup will have access to a dedicated, secure potty area (which is currently expanding into a fully enclosed backyard) for safe sniffing and play. Strict Safety Limits for Peace of Mind: Small Intake Limit- I strictly cap my home at a maximum of 3 guest dogs at any one time. Your pup will never be overwhelmed by a large pack. Size Restrictions: I exclusively accept small and medium dogs to ensure a safe, harmonious energy level for everyone. Cat-Friendly Guests Only: For the safety of my household cats, I only accept dogs with a proven history of calm behavior around felines.If you are looking for a true "home away from home" where your dog is treated like family and never left alone, I would love to meet you!

I have a fenced potty area and plenty of space in my neighborhood for as many walks as is necessary!

About: Hi everyone! My name is Cammie and I am looking to help you with all your pet sitting needs. Whether it is a short walk during the work day or overnight care while on vacation, I am here to give as much love to your pets as you do! I currently work from home, so my workday is very flexible! Whether it’s short walks during the workday or longer visits on weekends, my schedule is highly adaptable. I follow the owner’s instructions when caring for their animals. By providing a safe and comfortable environment, pets can maintain familiarity with their surroundings and routines, just as their owners would.
About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience in the pet care field, with a background that goes far beyond basic sitting or walking. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also own and operate my own professional pet care business, which means I approach every booking with a high level of responsibility, professionalism, and accountability. My experience includes working in animal rescue and volunteering, where I cared for animals of all species, temperaments, and medical needs. I have extensive experience with puppies, senior pets, and special-needs animals, including those requiring medications, mobility support, or extra patience and structure. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong ability to read the body language and communication cues of different species, allowing me to understand when a pet is comfortable, stressed, anxious, or unwell. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and routine, which helps me recognize early signs of illness or behavioral changes and communicate concerns clearly and promptly with pet parents. My background in rescue and professional pet care has taught me the importance of calm, consistent care , especially for pets who may not thrive in boarding environments. I am confident working with pets who need extra reassurance, individualized routines, or specialized care, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and secure in their own home. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that allows pets to feel safe and understood while giving their owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is not something I fit around another job. It is my full time profession, and I have intentionally built my daily schedule around providing reliable, attentive care for my clients and their pets. Because this is my business, I am able to plan my days with flexibility and prioritize consistency, routine, and comfort for the animals in my care. I am deeply passionate about both my work and the peace of mind it provides to pet owners. Caring for other people’s pets is something I take seriously, and I treat every visit with the same level of attention and responsibility I would expect for my own animals. With advance notice, I am available 24 seven for scheduled care, including overnights, drop ins, and extended visits. I also offer emergency visits for established clients when unexpected situations arise, subject to availability. This added flexibility allows my clients to feel supported, even when plans change. My goal is to be a dependable, long term care provider that pet owners can trust to be there when they need it most. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat each space with the same respect and responsibility I would expect from someone caring for my own. I understand that inviting a pet sitter into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also come with letters of reference that speak to my professionalism, reliability, and integrity. I am mindful of home security, privacy, and routines, and I follow all client instructions carefully. This includes locking up properly, respecting personal spaces, and maintaining a clean and orderly environment during every visit. My focus is always on keeping pets comfortable and stress free in familiar surroundings while ensuring their home remains safe and well cared for. Whether I am providing drop in visits or overnight care, I aim to create a calm, dependable presence that both pets and owners can feel confident about. My goal is to provide in home pet care that is not only attentive and compassionate for your pets, but also respectful, trustworthy, and professional within your home.
About: I was a Mom of 3 dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take care of your pets. I currently work from home so that gives me the freedom to care for your pets. I can do morning, lunchtime and evening walks. I can do overnight stays. I will do a meet and greet to see what makes you and your pet comfortable. I will learn their schedule so I can keep them on their normal routine.

She asks for vaccination records and checks in to confirm all the details - it's so comforting to know our dog is in such good care and that she maintains a high standard. We 1000% recommend Janice.”
“Kelly is awesome! We went to Ocean City to spend some time at the beach and Kelly is just off the main route coming from Northern Virginia. She took great care of our dog for three nights and sent us pictures at the end of each day, totally unexpected. Besides being great with animals she is just a great person. If you are in here area I would recommend giving her your business!!”
“This is our third time having Jenna watch our pups in our home. She does a wonderful job of keeping them safe and sharing photos with us each day. She also takes very good care of our home and leaves it very clean and tidy after her stay. I will continue to book Jenna as I know she is responsible, caring and communicative when it comes to my pups. Thanks Jenna!”
“Bob was fantastic and his location is very convenient if you're staying in OC and can't bring your pup to your hotel. He sent lots of videos and photos throughout our stay, which we really appreciated, and he even gave our dog Lila some special gifts and treats. He was extremely responsive, caring, and accommodating. We'd book with him again if we're back in the area.”
“Debby was a wonderful pet sitter! I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care and knew he was safe, happy, and well taken care of. She even checked in with a picture of him. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Lori was able to accommodate a last-minute sitter request for our senior dog and we are so appreciative. Our little guy, Finn, didn’t make it easy for her either particularly during feeding times. Lori hung in there and worked with him patiently. There was a high level of communication throughout his stay and lots of updates and photos too. Thank you Lori!!”
“Collen was great. Wiyot is was so relaxed when I picked him up and he us usually a hyper type doodle. I would not hesitate to have Wiyot stay again. Thank you so much for a worry free visit.”
“They were great! They kept my wife and I informed of the dogs wellbeing everyday with photos and text. We had a late pick up on Sunday due to our drive and they were very accommodating.”
“Our Zoli received such awesome care while with Bob and Susan, we were worried she’d be bored coming back with us!! Bob and Susan went above and beyond our expectations and we could see via daily pictures from Susan how happy Zoli was playing with the other pups at the house. I knew immediately upon speaking with both Bob and Susan prior to our trip that Zoli was going to the perfect place...and it truly was!! I highly recommend Susan & Bob!! We will always use them when traveling to the Rehoboth Beach area!!”
“Michele who was recommended by a neighbor, was absolutely amazing and I had no worries at all leaving my two pups in her care. Her home was filled with toys, doggie beds and plenty of room to roam and play. I could enjoy my daughters beautiful wedding and not worry about them, which was priceless. I will definitely being using Michele's services again! Highly recommend!”
“I am so incredibly grateful for Samantha and her family. Her communication from the start was so reassuring. She asked all the right questions when I dropped her off and I knew she was in good hands. She sent tons of pictures and it was clear that Daisy was totally enjoying herself and felt comfortable in her new space. When I picked her up, my heart totally melted by how happy she was. I will ABSOLUTELY be using Samantha in the future! I highly recommend!”
“Paige was great. She was available on short notice and was accommodating to a weird drop-off time due to bad weather. She was attentive to my animals needs and it was obvious my pup had a great time with her. She sent tons of pictures and videos and gave comprehensive daily updates. I would absolutely recommend this sitter and will be using her again in the future.”
“I am a newby to taking my doggie daughter out for a pet sitting. I needn't have worried though because Christina was just wonderful to my girl. My minature dachshund was welcomed into Chris's family for the Christmas holiday allowing me to travel out of state for 1 week. Chris kept me informed of Gracie's adjustment throughout the week and was very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Chris without reservation!”
“Oh my gosh, what a wonderful experience for my dog and myself. This was the first time that my dog, Caera, spent time (3 nights) with a non-family member. From the time I made the booking, we met briefly with Neena, and throughout her booking, Neena kept the lines of communication open, via text and pics! I absolutely would re-book with Neena, as Caera seemed to enjoy her stay; and I love the fact that I have found an outstanding alternate caregiver for Caera.”
