Pet Sitters in Brandywine, DE

Allison

Allison was flexible in her schedule and I’m thankful that she was willing to work around mine. She took good care of my fur babies and very reliable. Would definitely ask Allison to be back again.

Heather

Heather was awesome! Gave us regular updates and pics, and left the house much better off than when we left! An absolutely great house sitter.

Amanda

Amanda and Lester were great houseguests and sitters. They adored my dog Rondo and took him on day trips and hikes. I felt like I should be paying them! They were very communicative, conscientious, and friendly. I cannot recommend them enough. They were very thoughtful and left me a checkout list to let me know how everything was organized for my arrival.

Steve

We scheduled with Steve and Lucia for a Christmas Eve-Eve sit months ahead of time. We met via video call and they were very thorough. Steve did this sit solo and he was great! He even brought Kalita a new toy. Steve had made notes of our initial conversation (months before) and everything was a breeze. It was an essentially a 24hr sit, but we would happily have them both come back for a sit of any length. The house was spotless, sheets washed and bed made. And Kalita was safe, well-taken care of, and greeted us at the door with her new toy. Thank you, Steve and Lucia!!

Matthew

Matt stayed with my cats over the course of a long weekend and he sent many pictures of the cats and showed how much he liked them and how much they enjoyed him. The shower door to the guest basement broke during his stay and he let me know right away. House was left in good shape!

Mary & Al

Mary and Al were such loving care takers of Alvin. Mary's communication was thorough, and considerate. I felt completely at ease having my pup in their hands. She was prompt, and checked in with any questions or concerns, and left my home perfectly neat and tidy. They took the extra time and attention to take Alvin on an adventure to a place where he could interact with nature. I would definitely contact Mary in the future, and recommend this couple to anyone looking for loving and kind sitters.

Amy & Dharshan

Amy and Dharshan were WONDERFUL! They looked after our energetic kitty and needy houseplants for a week, and they did a fantastic job. Very communicative and tidy, and it was clear our kitty was super happy with their care when we came back. We would recommend them to anyone (and will absolutely be trying to get them to come back soon). It meant the world to not have to worry about our little home while we were gone, and we are so grateful to them for making that happen. Thanks, Amy and Dharshan!

Kathryn & Rick

Truly exceptional. She baked cookies, if you can believe it. Such a perfect sit for our beloved animals and the house was almost certainly cleaner than we left it. Can’t say enough positive things about Kathryn and her husband, Rick. Filled with gratitude!

Liz

Liz was wonderful. She was a wonderful person caregiver, ensuring I had pictures and updates. And my house was left in pristine condition!

Josh

Josh and Kristina sent us photos of Gus while we were far away in Europe, it was so comforting to see that things were well here at home. It was enjoyable for us to get away, and I think, enjoyable for them to be here, truly a win-win. Josh is experienced with dogs and even fosters dogs that are trained to go into service. We came home to a clean apartment, even better than when we left it. We are grateful to Josh and Kristina for their wonderful care of our dear little Gus, and our home. Highly recommend.

Verena & Gabriel

We really appreciated the ease of communication with V & G. They were reassuring about their stay in such a nice relaxed way. The house was cleaner than we left it. Our dogs loved them and we would have them back any time.

Lisa

I recently had the pleasure of having Lisa pet sit for me, and I couldn't be more pleased! When I returned home, everything was tidy, and both Turbo (my dog) and Tonks (my cat) were calm and happy. It was clear that they received plenty of love and attention during my absence. Lisa's care and attention to detail made the whole experience stress-free for both me and my pets. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!

Karen

We had an incredible time taking care of the animals! Karen and Andy were welcoming from the moment we arrived, making our stay easy and comfortable. Islay stole our hearts with her intelligence and sweetness. Ellie and Minkie were so affectionate, always ready for a cuddle and following us around. Jaynie and Betty were a breeze to care for. Even the hens were low maintenance, requiring just some feeding and even laid a few eggs while we were there.

The house was nestled in a lovely area, provided a cozy retreat. We're grateful for this experience and wholeheartedly recommend it!

John

My wife Cat and I loved sitting for Mabel and Oreo.   John was a perfect host.  His communications were clear and concise.  And we loved the house and the neighborhood.

Sarah

I had a lovely time at Sarah's over Christmas, looking after Tosca and Willow. Sarah and her family were very welcoming and the dogs were so gentle and loving. It was a pleasure taking Willow out for walks in Ashdown Forest, she's so well-behaved and happy. I never felt lonely - the dogs followed me around wherever I went. I already miss them. Happy to come back!

Philippa

Amazing stay! Wilbur and Kippa were sooo sweet and friendly, very cuddly! They are so well behaved! The cats were very sweet too. Would love to do another sit with the crew! The house was gorgeous and there were such nice walks round the area. Philippa was so lovely and helpful with great Comms! Thanks heaps!

Sheila

Darrel and Sheila are new friends for us! They have a lovely home. We enjoyed this sit so much! Their pets Griffey, Pearl, and Broccoli are all very sweet and easy to care for. They will easily win your heart! We would highly highly recommend this sit to anyone and would love to do it again if our paths cross!
