Pamela kept us well informed. She sent pictures and videos of our pets nearly every day. Many of the videos were of them playing ball with her and getting exercise. She was prompt in contacting us when she had questions or concerns about their behavior or habits. We recommend Pamela for your house/pet sitting needs. We would gladly use her services again.
I recently had the pleasure of having Alberto and Mardi pet-sit and home-sit for me, and I can confidently say that they provided exceptional care for both my cats and my home. I recommend them to anyone needing reliable, attentive, and trustworthy pet and home sitters. From the moment I met Alberto and Mardi, their warm and friendly demeanor put me at ease. They showed a genuine interest in getting to know my cats and asked thoughtful questions about their routines, preferences, and any specific needs they might have. Their attentiveness and eagerness to ensure the well-being of my furry babies immediately instilled confidence in me that they were the right choice. Communication was effortless throughout the entire pet-sitting period. Alberto and Mardi kept me informed regularly, providing me with text updates and sending photos of my cats. Not only did Alberto and Mardi excel in pet care, but they also went above and beyond in maintaining the cleanliness and orderliness of my home. Upon returning, I found my house in impeccable condition, with everything neat and tidy. Thank you, Alberto and Mardi, for providing such a positive and worry-free experience. You are an incredible team.
Jordan was an excellent sitter! She was flexible when my travel plans were changing and was reassuring when Simon got sick shortly before the sit that she could monitor him and give him medication if needed. Thankfully Simon was okay by the time the sit started, but it was so helpful to know Jordan could handle it if anything came up! Highly recommend Jordan as a sitter, she's reliable, tidy, responsive, and a really kind person.

I love this place! More importantly, my puppy loves this place (quite possibly more than home). They’re so great to my baby and to us. The facility is well staffed, clean and my puppy is safe and supervised. Can’t say enough good things! Be prepared for lots of sleep after daycare. JB is always wiped out from all of the fun!
People are everything and Dogtopia has the best. Everyone is so nice, qualified, knowledgeable and caring. Our Rita loves it there and we have no worries when we drop her off!
I would not recommend this doggie daycare anymore. My dog Finley had been going to this location for 14 years - back when Helen was the owner. I felt like she was taking care of my dog like her own. I saw the negative changes with the most recent ownership changes - much higher prices and the manager was not very friendly. Finley was under their care in May while I was on vacation. He was an older dog with cancer. He passed away while there. They took him to the emergency vet that I had requested while I traveled home. 3 days later I received an email from “Dogtopia of Fairfax” - not signed by a person - saying they were sorry of his passing and they had his belongings for me to pick up after I pay for his stay. They did refund the last day. I was in shock to see that a service related business would continue to charge when a dog has passed away. I went to pick up his things and pay what I owed - the manager said the Regional or District Manager is the person who made her charge it. I sent him 2 emails about it and had NO response from him!!! Terrible way to run a business. I then reached out to Dogtopia on Instagram to send them a DM because I couldn’t find any other way to contact them. A few weeks later they reached out, were very sorry about the situation - they then contacted the location and had them refund my money because I should not have been charged. Just be warned that this Dogtopia does not have the small home feel anymore.
Would never recommend Dogtopia anymore. They have gotten WAY too expensive for the service they provide. Staff is friendly enough, but they will put the bigger dogs in with the little dogs. And these bigger dogs are very hyper and playful around the little ones. My dogs also come back sick more often than not after boarding. Would not recommend.
Wonderful experience, building is secure and clean, staff is friendly and knowledgeable, all dogs are tested for temperament with other dogs and placed in room with dogs similar in size. There are food/snack options available for reasonable prices or bring your own food, they have a fridge and microwave to warm it up. The play rooms are frequently cleaned, supervised, and there are cameras to watch how your doggie is doing. Best of all is my dog (which has separation anxiety) had a blast and didn’t want to leave! Dogs get to have a play day, learn social skills, are safe and protected, provided nap time and meals in a clean safe environment. I feel safe leaving my dog here and knowing they will have fun. The outside play area has small dog pools, splash pads and other various things to do!
I would definitely recommend Dogtopia. My dogs love going there for daycare. The staff is friendly, caring and interactive with my dogs and they love them! I check in on them during the day on the cameras, and they are always having a good time and are tired out when they get home.
Oh wow! My dog hasn’t been this happy since he was a puppy! He didn’t want to come home with me today. Jess and her team already feel like a part of the family - they keep him busy playing all day, he is fed and so happy. Thank you Dogtopia in Wilmington, we are so lucky to have found you.
My dog loves this place! Every time I pull up he is excited to run through the door and see his friends. I am glad knowing my pup is in a safe well cared for environment. The staff are very friendly and you can tell they care deeply for the dogs and their wellbeing.
My dog loves coming to daycare! And whenever I have to board him, he always has the best time! And I love that they send updates and photos! The Wilmington team is the best and I won’t send my dog anywhere else! Best daycare ever!
Our dog, Maggie, has been going to Dogtopia a few days a week for the past two years. She has a great time and loves everyone that works there! It is really comforting to know that she is safe during the hours she is not at home with us!
Olivia is amazing with my rambunctious, reactive with strangers at home, quirky dog. She took the time to slowly get to know him and let him know her. She comes to my house to let him out now and he is excited to see her. Marty also goes to her in-home daycare and loves it! Olivia is an amazing Pet Sitter!
I'm so glad I found O & O! I feel so lucky to have her. I never have to worry about how my pet is doing when he's in her care. Olivia is the hardest working person I've ever met. So dependable and caring. I've used her for both daily walking and pet sitting, and highly recommend her to everyone. Five stars!!!
Olivia is my #1!! She is amazing with all the dogs (big and small), and she always goes above and beyond. She gave my pup Leo (the small one) a real home-away-from-home when I travel for work. Safe, clean, and social environment. Love her, and all that she provides! And Leo loves her too! 🐶 …
Olivia was great. She sent me daily reports with a picture of my dog King. It gave me such a piece of mind to know he was in good hands. I definitely will use her service again😊. …
Trustworthy and reliable
As a very particular pet owner, I can tell you Heather is OUTSTANDING in her care for pets!! I think my Tervuren gets better care/walks from her Nanny than from me!! And as a neighbor, I see the care she takes of her overnight guests. Heather is kind, conscientious, diligent and caring. If she has a spot for your pet, take it! You will be very happy too!
Heather is the best!!! We went away for a family vacation and she came over 4x a day, she fed , walked and played with our crew of cats and dogs. She also took our one dog to his daycare. We got emails and pictures of everything that was going on during each visit. I can't say enough about how at ease we were, knowing that our fur babies were in her hands. She got to know each one of them and knew their likes and dislikes. If you are going away and need someone to watch over your "crew" ( that's what she called them) Heather is the one to call.
Michelle and her staff at Dog Dayz are incredible! I originally looked into daycare options for Lola as a way for her to meet other dogs while working through some social anxiety, but none worked out until we met Michelle and Sarah. At only 10lbs Lola was nervous at first in a new environment surrounded by much larger dogs -- Michelle was optimistic about how daycare could benefit her and has continued to work with Lola week after week to get more comfortable in the pack! Lola has been going to Dog Dayz for 6 months now and loves it. She has even made a few friends! I appreciate knowing she has a safe place to interact with other dogs while I’m a work. The staff pay such close attention to her and always check in during the day with updates. We have had a great experience here and I can’t recommend it enough!
Michelle and all of the staff that work at Dog Dayz have been so amazing and patient with our dog Reese. Reese is reactive towards people but loves dogs so much and had done amazing at daycare where we used to live, but we were nervous to put him in a new day care environment after moving. I explained my situation to Michelle and she was so accommodating and accepting of him, letting him come in on a trial basis with close supervision to see how he would acclimate. Now he goes once or twice a week and he is obsessed with Dog Dayz! All of the staff have been wonderful with Reese and his behavior issues. It is so nice and comforting to know that he has a safe and accepting environment to play and socialize in. We love Dog Dayz!
I was nervous to take my rescue to a daycare but knowing they specialize in rescues and after my first meeting at Dog Dayz I knew he was in good hands! A neighbor recommended I reach out to Michelle and I could not be happier with how I’ve watched his confidence grow with other dogs and people. Before I even put my car in park in the parking lot he’s ready to jump out to see his friends. As a 2 year old his energy seems endless, but he’s always pooped when I pick him up. I’m so thankful to Michelle and her team at Dog Dayz for the positive changes I’ve seen in my pup.
We are new residences to the Wilmington area and we’re looking for a space for our dog Bogey to make new friends and have weekly social interactions with other dogs. We are so grateful we found DogDayz. It’s a big open facility with lots of different dogs and plenty of attentive and knowledgeable staff. Bogey absolutely loves going there. He gets so excited when we drop him off and doesn’t want to leave when we come to pick him up. It’s the highlight of his week and we love knowing he’s playing and getting exercise while we are at work.
Very friendly staff who clearly love dogs and are also nice to people! ...my dog goes twice a week and returns exhausted from playing. I like the gate system they have set up to ensure nobody darts out, I feel my dog is safe and the dogs are well supervised and cared for.
We love the competent and responsible staff at Dog Dayz! Been clients for over 10 years, now with our 2nd pup who loves the people and all her furry friends. She's always excited for another day at Dog Dayz and she's so tired at the end of the day that a cat can use her as a pillow!
The staff is what separates this place from all of the rest! They love our girls, and our fur kids certainly love them back! We are happy and blessed we found them!
I feel so blessed to have found Dog Dayz. The staff is unbelievable! They are true dog lovers, and sincerely care about your baby or babies. I contacted several services when I decided my active puppy needed to go to daycare two days a week. The only one that responded was Dog Dayz. Not only did the owner, Michelle, respond within an hour but it was on a Sunday afternoon. She was responsive and informative, and we immediately set up a meet and greet the following week. My Milkshake has been attending two days a week for almost two months now. I could not be happier. Michelle, Kimm, Cierra, and Dylan are amazing to work with. Cierra and Dylan have reached out to inform me of things I need to know about, and I appreciate that greatly. Milkshake gets beyond excited the second we grab his harness and leash and say “are you ready to go to school”. He cannot get out the door fast enough! When he comes home, he is a different dog. The energy he is able to release by playing with his friends has decreased his hyper activity and negative, destructive behavior. I feel less guilty because he has not been in a crate all day. It makes my evenings less stressful because he puts himself in his crate and sleeps for at least 2 to 3 hours while I cook dinner and do my evening routine. This is the best decision we could have ever made and money well spent! Once I can afford to increase his days, I will surely do so! Thank you Dog Dayz staff for your dedication, hard work, communication, professionalism and loving hearts. ❤️ I added a pic of Milkshake passed out after a day with his friends. I cannot say enough positive things about this Daycare. I highly recommend Dog Dayz. You will not be disappointed!
I have been entrusting my dogs to Dog Dayz since 2002 (almost since their opening). What an amazingly experienced and caring owner Michelle Latham is. She and her staff are incredibly knowledgable with regard to dog training, dog whispering and also in running a business. My dogs have always come home from their “dayz” there: better socialized, better behaved, and doggone tired (sorry, couldn’t help it). Dog Dayz was the first doggie daycare in the area and they are still the best!
Dog Dayz has been wonderful for our big, energetic 2 year-old puppy. She comes home completely worn out. The team is so sweet to her, and more than once, they’ve alerted us to her health concerns before we’ve noticed them ourselves. We’re so grateful for their attentiveness—they really love and care for your pets.
Terry Lynn is the most incredible and conscientious person who lovingly takes care of our cat. She takes the worry and anxiety away when we would travel. I feel completely comfortable and at ease knowing she is caring for our dear friend. She is reliable, dependable, flexible and always provides informative updates with her visits and sends terrific pics of our friend keeping her close in heart until we come home. I totally recommend Terry for you pet string needs we finally have peace and know our pet is in good hands and receiving the best care.
I have a very anxious, older dog, who is unable to be kenneled. With a family trip to Disney coming up, I needed to find an alternative to a traditional boarding facility. Terry has provided us with so much more than just that. She gave us comfort and peace of mind. We did weekly daycare visits leading up to our trip so that my dog could get to know Terry and get comfortable with her. This helped so much with her anxiety. When it came time for our trip I knew that my dog was in good hands and that she would feel comfortable and safe with Terry. Terry took care of her, like she was her own and sent me daily updates letting me know how she was doing, which I loved. I will definitely continue to use Terry’s services and recommend her to everyone!
We left our 4 year old hound pit bull mix cookie with Terry knowing she will be in good hands and we could relax during our vacay . Cookie walked eagerly towards Terry - whenever we drop her off so we know she’s happy there with someone who truly cares .
I’ve trusted Terry for over 8 years! She is amazing and does great handling my dogs with special needs. She loves them like her own and is so accommodating and flexible. We would be lost without her. Thank you Terry!!!
Terry Lynn is very much dedicated and devoted to caring for pets - her own and yours! She scheduled a meet and greet with us for all 3 of our dogs, providing a sense of relief in leaving them overnight. She has soothing music playing at all times and easy access to the secured yard. Terry Lynn was kind enough to send us pictures and reassurance throughout the pups' entire stay. She is kind, professional, and a genuine animal lover. Her prices are extremely reasonable and she provides superb care to your fur babies, even insulin administration. We highly recommend her services. Thank you, Terry Lynn!
Terry Lynn’s critters is our dog Harper’s favorite place to be! Harper has been going to Terry’s since she was a puppy and we have had nothing but a wonderful experience. Terry is incredibly accommodating to our work schedules as my fiancé and I both work in healthcare. She loves all the dogs at daycare as her own and we are so thankful to have Terry love our Harper.
Terry took care of my 3 cats while I was out of the country for 10 days. She sent me photos, in and of itself a feat because I never expected them to come out, and communicated with me frequently. She had to have a medical procedure during this time and still made sure my cats were taken care of. I highly recommend.
Terry is a fabulous, caring pet-sitter. Our dogs, Ollie and Ellie, and kitty, Tommy, love her and she treats them like family! She did at-home visits while we were away sending texts and pictures frequently. Our kitty needs medication administered twice a day and she had no problem doing that for us. She brought in the mail and even refilled my bird feeders when they were empty. She goes above and beyond. It is such a great feeling to be able to get away on vacation knowing your pets and home are well cared for. I highly recommend Terry.
Terry is the absolute best pet sitter I’ve ever found, and truly the only non blood relative i’ve ever totaly trusted to take care of my sweet, adorable and very challenging rescue bichon, Spencer. Spencer came to me as a last-chance foster off death-row, after burning his way through shelters and foster homes. He suffered from the most intense separation anxiety- a vet even suggested putting him down at one point, to end his suffering! He came a long way with training and a behavior consult, but he never was able to shake his separation anxiety…. enter Terry. This woman made it possible for me to attend law school and work, and Spencer actually enjoyed week long stays while I vacationed out of the country. I’ve moved out of the area, but have yet to find any one as sweet, kind, caring, responsible, trustworthy and knowledgeable as Terry! your fur babies will thank you.
My family has relied on Terry Lynn’s for over 10 years for cage- free dog boarding and home visits for our cats. She is caring, reliable, honest, responsive and an expert in taking care of animals large and small. She makes every effort to accommodate her clients while always having her furry guests’ best interests in mind. I can always count on Terry, and trust her judgement, as we have been through a lot together through the many years and our many pets!
All Fur Them pet sitting is a women own business. They offer a variety of services and their pricing is reasonable. Best part is they genuinely care about animals. Your pets are in great hands! Highly recommend! 😁
Services are great, very nice people and always very reasonable and accommodating!
From helping to leash train the pup to being available over the holidays - A+
Dogtopia of Elsmere is the best place to bring your dog for daycare, boarding, and grooming. My dog loves going to daycare while his parents are at work. He can play with his dog friends, get pets from the friendly staff, and enjoy the multiple theme days every month! You can tell the staff at Dogtopia really love their jobs and each and every dog. They maintain a safe and clean playroom. They plan multiple theme days and parties throughout the year that make every day at daycare memorable for pets and parents. My favorites include Valentine's Day treat exchange, Dog Prom, Back to school week, Halloween costume contest, and pictures with Santa! My dog and I love Dogtopia!
I took my puppy Cookie Monster here for the first time and everyone was great!! When I dropped her off at 9 they told me that she would be ready at noon and they would call me. I was called right at noon. She looked great when I picked her up. Diana did a fantastic job and did everything that we discussed at drop off... this is going to be my permanent groomer!! The office staff was great as well! Gemma was very friendly when I scheduled my appointment... Thank you for everything!!
My baby loves it here. Sooooo happy we found this place. The Staff are amazing and treat every dog with the utmost care and love ❤️
My dog really enjoyed his introduction day. He was worn out when he got home. Thank you, Dogtopia staff, for taking good care of my baby boy. Thank you for making a card for me for Mother's Day.
Wanted to love Dogtopia of Elsemere, but I don’t plan on bringing my dogs back there again. From the first full day my huskies stayed at Dogtopia, after the intro, I noticed that one of my huskies was crated for an hour at multiple times via their webcam. It’s important to me that my dogs aren’t crated for extended periods of time, otherwise I could simply crate them at home rather than pay someone else to crate them (and I expressed this on day one). When I asked the manager if there was any issue with my dog that was crated, I was told there was no issue. It wasn’t until I told her that I saw my dog crated for about an hour that she revealed that the “dog trainer” Maya was new and that my dog should not have been crated for longer than 30 mins. I’m not one for second and third chances, but I gave them another chance and noticed that when the manager was the dog trainer in the gym, my dog in question did not get crated for long periods of time multiple times. Yesterday was the 3rd full day my dogs stayed at Dogtopia and Maya once again crated my dog (the same one I referenced) multiple times over 30 mins. When I asked the staff member at the front desk if everything went ok, they responded yes there were no issues. I then pointed out that one of my dogs was crated multiple times and sincerely asked if he just isn’t a fit with the other dogs. That’s when the staff member finally said another dog wanted to mount my dog and my dog wasn’t interested so their solution was to rotate crating my dog and the aggressive dog. I don’t think that’s a fair solution. The aggressive dog should be crated not mine. To top this all off, my dog that was crated has had diarrhea all through the night. I brought the food they’ve been eating at home to Dogtopia for their lunch, but who knows what happened. My pup was also fine before his daycare visit. Apologies for this review being so long, but if you decide to use Dogtopia’s services I would monitor their webcam to see how your pets are being treated and ask questions because they aren’t transparent at all. I would also not leave my dog there while Maya is the trainer on call.(Btw learned their summer “dog trainer” staff is comprised of mostly college students). I should be able to trust the people I’m paying to leave my dogs with and I just don’t trust Dogtopia of Elsemere specifically and Dogtopia generally.
Rosco seemed to enjoy his first experience. We will have him go a couple times a month for socialization with other dogs. We loved watching him on the camera. He's not been with other pups very often.
I am so glad we decided to bring our pup to Dogtopia. Aside from our dog loving it, the facility is very clean and the employees are so friendly and helpful. Being able to access the webcams eased my mind the first few weeks when I wasn’t sure! 10/10 would recommend!
We took our seven month old puppy for the first time to Dogtopia in Elsmere DE yesterday. I was very nervous and within minutes of watching the webcam was relieved and impressed. The caregivers are very attentive to all needs. We have booked our first boarding and are confident leaving our pup overnight. It’s too early to recommend overnight boarding, but definitely a daycare stay. Our pup enjoyed the day.
Everyone is friendly and attentive. They know you and your dog when you arrive (usually before you even enter the front door!) The facility is clean. Mist importantly my dog is happy and exhausted at the end of the day!
Everyone was very welcoming and you can tell they are all dog lovers. I really love the fact that they separate the dogs based on size or temperament. It shows they really pay attention to how the dogs interact with one another before placing them together. The camera access is the cherry on top to make me feel at ease to be able to check in with our two pups whenever I needed. Thank you!
