Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.

I’ve been using All Creatures Pet Care for about two years for dog walking, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Brooke and her team are incredibly reliable and always keep me in the loop with frequent updates and photos. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals give me complete peace of mind, knowing my dog is in such capable hands. It’s not easy to find someone who checks all the boxes—pet care experience, reliability, trustworthiness, and professionalism—especially when you’re entrusting them to come into your home and care for your beloved pet. I feel very lucky that I found All Creatures Pet Care. If you’re searching for a dog walker you can truly count on, Brooke and her team are the ones to call!
I've never used a company to stay with my dog while I was traveling until now. They were terrific! Brooke and Jenna took such good care of my big boy and were so thorough with updates. I will definitely use them again.
Brooke is amazing! My dog loves going to her house. All I have to do is say Brooke and my dog gets so excited. Brooke takes such wonderful care of our beloved dog. I know that she is well cared for when she stays for the day or overnight visits. And Brooke makes it so convenient with picking up and dropping off at our house. I highly recommend Brooke and All Creatures Pet Care.
All Creatures Pet Care is first-rate. Brooke has taken care of my golden doodle since he was a puppy, sometimes for up to three weeks when I have traveled. The care is exceptional! I never have to worry about my dog as I know he is getting lots of attention. He looks forward to going to Brooke’s house and spending time with other dogs. I give All Creatures Pet Care my highest rating.
We started sending our puppy to doggy daycare with Brooke so she could socialize with other dogs, have fun, and get used to being away from us (pandemic puppy problem--we are ALWAYS home!). Brooke is great and Nova loves going with her! She comes home a happy & tired pup. Brooke is extremely reliable, capable, and great with communication. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend All Creatures Pet Care! Our dogs Chance and Shelby love going to weekly daycare. The socialization and exercise is great for them. They are excited to be picked up and always come home happily tired. We enjoy and appreciate getting the updates and photos from their visits. Plus, the pick up and drop off services are a big time saver for us. We also use All Creates Pet Care for vacation boarding for our dogs. Chance and Shelby are treated like part of Brooke’s family. We have complete peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy and getting personalized care and attention. They also provide dependable home visits for our cats, fish and turtle while we’re away. The fees are reasonable and the services are top quality. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our pets!
I highly recommend All Creatures Pet Care! Brooke and her team are incredibly knowledgeable, responsible and communicative. My normally nervous pup gets so excited to come here each week. We have left her with Brooke for multiple nights in a row and have felt 100% comfortable and at ease. I trust her and appreciate the way she treats our girl like family. Don’t know what we would do without her and the team!
We use Brooke and All Creatures for doggie day care and love it! Brooke is wonderful with our dog and provides so much love and stimulation for all the pups at her house. The communication via text and the app is also excellent and seamless. Highly recommend!
I am so lucky we found All Creatures Pet Care. Brooke and co. are reliable, responsible, caring, communicative, and absolutely dedicated to the pets they take care of. My dog leaves excited and comes home tired and happy. I never worry when he's at All Creatures; I know he's as well taken care of as when he is at home. Love the app, the ease of booking, and the accountability it offers - as well as the pictures Brooke takes of the dogs during their day! All Creatures provides the kind of nurturing pet care our dog loves and the piece of mind we need.
Brooke and her team are literally the best. They will treat your pet as if it were their own. I’ve used them for about two years now, and I will never look elsewhere. They are extremely professional and will handle any of your concerns with the upmost importance. As a busy dog mom, I can assure you that they are the most reliable pet service in our area. They pick up and drop off for almost all of their services and they make it a seamless process through their app. All Creatures will communicate with you one on one and they are always more than willing to answer any questions for you. They provide pictures throughout the day, and you can even track your dog walker through their app. Brooke was a vet tech for years and warned me about an issue with my dog that saved me thousands. I was given faulty advice from my former vet and after leaving them, Brooke recommended a vet who I absolutely love. I also have a very dominant, alpha dog and I wasn’t sure if my training was effective or not so I consulted with Brooke and her team and they were able to provide effective solutions to correct those behaviors. I could honestly go on and on about how much I have benefited from All Creatures. If you are stuck between services or if you are seeking a pet service, I would highly recommend this company. You won’t be let down.
When dogs chew the plastic, it needs to be replaced, when they have an accident, it needs to be cleaned immediately, so they n employees don’t fall. Aggressive dogs can not be mixed in, you end up at hospital. If someone that knows what they are talking about offers suggestions, listen. Keep dogs moving, people want dogs having fun, playing, interacting, unless they can’t n are elderly. When they come home from work they are tired and their dog should be happy to see them but also feel like they had a busy day. Not , gee! Me, me, me, let’s walk n play for hours now, I had hours of boredom while you were at work! No non spayed or neutered, all shots. If any chance of illness…no do not endanger 50 for 1. The location has the ability to be wonderful. N children should not be brought in to middle to lay around n play with dogs. It is a business, dogs are wonderful animals but once you put 5 together anything can happen. It’s not a child day care a I repeat, kids do not belong on the floor with clients dogs. If a dog bites once you are putting him at risk for bitting again. Step on them, if you bang into them n they have cancer n you don’t know it, a nice dog will bite. You now created an issue for dog owner because you thought it would be fun to have your kids on the floor of a dog day care/ boarding business.
Very expensive for a fair job. I left it to the groomer’s discretion and although my girl was very pretty when I picked her up, they barely cut any hair. i will need to bring her for a haircut elsewhere and pay a nominal fee. Anyway $95 dollars for a wash and a trim for a 10 pound dog is absurd. I will not be returning. Chris and Zoe
Amazing service! I first sent Chloe just for grooming. Then she has done doggy daycare a few days as needed. Always is happy when she sees where we are going. Lia and the team are AWESOME!!!
Our favorite doggy day care spot! Our dog, Houie, goes a few days a month and he absolutely loves the whole team there. He goes running in as soon as we walk through the door. Highly recommend!
They did a wonderful job grooming my Corgi! Everyone there is friendly and their prices are very reasonable. So happy we have a new groomer!
Fuzzy Butts Is The Best Doggy Daycare Out There! I Highly Recommend Bringing Your Dogs To This Establishment Because They Take Excellent Care Of My Pup (OREO) And She Loves It There!!! It's A Win Win 🏆 🐶 …
Amazing place! The team consists of friendly, experienced dog lovers who greet every pup that walks through the door as if it's their own.
I have two rescue dogs who I have to board occasionally, they have high anxiety and we have had bad experiences at previous places but I feel so comfortable leaving my dogs at Fuzzy Butts. It is clear all of the staff I have met care so much for the dogs here and treat them as their own. My dogs who hate going places, love going here even to board! The staff are so accommodating and they communicate so well during their stay.
Our daniff goes to fuzzy butts for regular daycare and boarding. When we get out of the car he runs to the front door and is genuinely excited to see everyone and spend time with his other doggie friends. He had major separation anxiety and a very particular diet due to his size (he needs three meals plus a day) and fuzzy butts has been more than accommodating. The staff are extremely friendly and we love the daily picture updates!
Fuzzy Butts is top tier! The staff is extremely friendly and personable. They go above and beyond to make your pup feel at home. On top of all that, their facility is state of the art. I am extremely happy that my dog is a Fuzzy Butts pup!
Been taking our pups here since 2009 and we all love it! Our pups always come home exhausted from their play! The staff evaluate the dogs to ensure a good fit and friendly atmosphere. They are so sweet and treat our pups like family - so caring and loving. They also offer boarding and grooming services and we recommend those as well. The hours are great and pricing very reasonable. They've been super flexible when we've had a last minute ask for a weekend boarding. We're so lucky and appreciative to have found this gem years ago. Love, C, V, and past pups: Jules, Lady, Angel.
I've been a customer here for 14 years, with 4 dogs over those years. My dogs have always loved this place, where they have lots of room to run around, lots of toys to play with, and people who truly love them and get to know each dog. They celebrate birthdays, Santa comes for Christmas pictures, and there is nothing better than Halloween at Bark Avenue! The staff is great, the place is spotless, and my dogs are nice and tired at the end of the day!
We are extremely satisfied with Bark Avenue. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I feel so at ease whenever i drop off my dog because i know that hes going to be in good hands. Sometimes they even post photos or videos on their facebook feed and every once in a while i get to see my pup running around. It makes my day knowing that hes happy and playing with other dogs. I also love that they split up the dogs by energy level, not just size, so i know my small dog is around other pups who wont be too aggressive with him. Im so happy i found this place. And i know my dog loves it too, because he gets so exciting when we ask him if hes ready to go to "school".
So great to be back at Bark Avenue! We moved and started taking our Basset Hound to another day camp. Not sayin’ nothin’ but the name of the franchise rhymes with “Messed Ends” Rather than go into all the problems with them, I’d like to list just a few of the ways in which Bark Avenue distinguishes themselves from the aforementioned chain. 1. Bark Avenue retains customers and staff 2. They recognized Ike (after a 3 year absence) and welcomed him back with great warmth and enthusiasm. 3. Their hours are much more convenient 4. When Ike is bathed or gets his nails trimmed (by Marydean) the work is noticeable. 4. Best of all the director and staff seem to genuinely enjoy the dogs! Bark Avenue is not fancy or pretentious, but we trust them implicitly to care for our “best friend.”
I have a 7 month old rottweiler and I don't know what I'd do without bark avenue to tire her out while I'm at work. Great staff and very fair rates!
One of my dogs has gone since she was a small pup. I have nothing but good things to say. She loves it there and they are very accommodating!
My licensed therapy dog was bit terribly. Then, they try to make it sound like it was my dog's fault. My dog is very friendly and has NEVER had an incident. I'm now sitting at the animal hospital because my dog has severe wounds from the attack. Never again!
Redford loves going to “school” to socialize with his other furry friends at Bark Avenue! Great staff that cares for the animals as if they are their own
Love this place! We have been taking our dogs for years and they always come home happy and tired. We know they are well loved.
Our dog Sydney loves going gets her out of the house and socialize with other dogs and a great staff also!! Highly recommend!!
We absolutely love Camp Bow Wow! We rescued our dog earlier this year and Camp has been so helpful. Our little guy was nervous around people and Camp Bow Wow has improved his confidence so much! He also has separation anxiety and he is so excited to go and see his counselors he doesn’t even realize I left. He loves the activities and we love the pictures! The counselors are so sweet, kind and caring and I feel so comfortable knowing he is with them. He is one happy camper!
We love bringing Frankie to socialization class, day camp, and boarding. The best part is how much she loves seeing her doggie friends and especially the staff. You can’t beat the tail wag or smile.
Omg!! I’m very happy I made the switch from Wilmington Dogtopia to Camp Bow Wow! THIS PLACE IS SO MUCH BETTER in so many ways! Like the communication is transparent, I got to see the facility in whole. where he would play, where he would board. I met many of the workers. They have a awesome new camper package. Everyone was really friendly. I had the pleasure to watch my pups interview. Just an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend Camp Bow Wow to my friends and family.
Camp Bow Wow Delaware North is run by experienced people who truly care about the dogs. The indoor/outdoor facility is modern, extremely clean, and has roomy "cabins" for overnight stays. The grooming staff, particularly Michelle, do a wonderful job with our dog, Maggie, who is old and a bit feeble. Their caring attitude is comforting. All of the staff we have come in contact with (which is many) offer wonderful customer service. I can't imagine a facility and staff that could do a better more reassuring job. I'm constantly impressed.
I absolutely love this place. The people are so friendly. They love the dogs. My dog loves coming here. The other customers are so sweet as well. It’s an awesome network of people. Boarding is just as easy as daycare. What a relief it was to find this place. Thank you so much❣️Being able to check my pup on camera makes it that much more stress free.
This is a wonderful place of care, play, training, and grooming. We've been using Camp Bow Wow for just under a year now, and I'm impressed. We have two dogs who are just over a year old and we've used various services at Camp Bow Wow so I can reflect on a little of everything offered. I tell neighbors and relatives, now I thought I'd share with strangers researching Camp Bow Wow. Camp Bow Wow deserves five stars for the care of the facility and care of the animals! We appreciate the atmosphere provided and cleanliness of the facility. It's extremely convenient to use the dog care for half or full days. Sometimes, our little guys just need to interact with others for a few hours, or we have errands and doctor's appointments, so we use their services for a few hours. Without fail—whether they boarded overnight or just attended a day here there, it was always clear they were well taken care of. This is why they're always so excited to go back! It is obviously a lot of fun for them and there's always someone around, too. Your dogs are not just left alone in a room or in a yard. Dogs must sense that kind of care, I'm convinced. I've checked in on camera throughout the times they've stayed, and I see a dedicated staff member who takes care of each play area. I also notice they rotate, which I assume keeps workers from burning out, becoming impatient, or careless. I truly could go on and on with positive thoughts here. Nothing is perfect so of course I had a couple of little things here and there that bothered me. These did not relate to the care of the dogs but could have been resolved with some better customer service training or maybe a person was misunderstanding me and I misunderstood them, or we were both having a bad day. 🤷🏽♀️ I threw these thoughts in here, so anyone reading knows I'm not just gushing over them as if I've never seen anything I disliked. The good heavily outweighs those couple of experiences though.
Oh, my goodness! This is the best place to let your dog play or be boarded. Everyone at this Camp Bow Wow location loves dogs and is so professional. They are very available via phone or email when you need to speak with them about your dog or any details in regard to services offered. There is another Camp closer to us, but we prefer to drive an extra 20 minutes so that our Theodore is well taken care of and loved on. I can't say enough good things about Camp Bow Wow Delaware North! Kelly
After visiting two other doggie daycare and boarding facilities, we knew Camp Bow Wow was the place for our little Dommy. Jenny and all the staff are wonderful! They're very attentive and professional and made us feel comfortable with leaving our fur baby in their care. No other facility was willing to give us a tour of their facility or where our little one would be housed, or the play area. Camp Bow Wow is very organized in all aspects of the services they provide, 1/2 day or full day camp, boarding, training, and grooming. They have no problem taking you on a tour of the facility and answering any questions or concerns. Since it was our first time using the day camp and overnight boarding, we were very happy they provided an App for a webcam which allowed us to view our little one when we were missing him or just needed to know how he was interacting with the other fur babies. Our baby has never been around other dogs before this visit. He was exhausted when he got home, but was better behaved than before his time at Camp Bow Wow. We think he was bored before attending Camp Bow Wow which resulted in him destroying any toy or pillows we provided, within a few hours. We bought him a new doggie pillow and a few chew toys after he got home. It's been almost a week, and he hasn't destroyed either of them! We're looking forward to his next visits which we feel will help more with his socialization and alleviate his occasional boredom.
I am always pleased with my dog's visits at Camp Bow Wow. Whether I am using them for doggy day care or grooming, I know he is going to be well cared for. Michelle is a wonderful groomer and always gives me updates on how my dog is doing - which I find so helpful because my dog can be a bit of a diva when it comes to getting a bath. I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow!
Camp Bow Wow is the go-to place for my family whenever we need dog boarding or training services. We've used their facility in more than one state, and it's always been a great experience. We recently used their training program at their Delaware location, and the 5 package deal was well worth the money. When we adopted our Golden Retriever, we were about to have our third child, and I had surgery six months later. Our Golden was trained on the basics, but he was not great at discerning how to behave around small children and was constantly knocking them over, which was a hazard in our two-story house. The trainers at Camp Bow Wow were amazing, and their guidance and training have made all the difference. Our Golden is like a different dog now, and we owe it all to their expert training and advice. We also appreciate how much fun our dogs have when they are there. They always follow our overnight instructions perfectly, and the trainers have even sent us update pictures via email while we were away. While they can be expensive with multiple dogs, their pricing is still reasonable considering the level of care and service they provide. The owner even reached out to me before our dogs first overnight stay to personally speak to me (dog mom to dog mom) about flea and tick brands. Needless to say, I’ve been ordering the one we discussed and recommended and it was probably the best decision I could’ve made all thanks to a 2-minute phone call. Overall, we highly recommend Camp Bow Wow for their excellent dog training and boarding services. The trainers are top-notch, and the dogs always have a great time. They are worth the money, especially in times when you need the extra help with your furry friend. A well-deserved 5-star rating!
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
I'M IMPRESSED: Claudia came and took care of our cat for a short time and did a great job. She went above and beyond what I expected. I will definitely use Content Critters again.
We love Content Critter and highly recommend this family to care for your pet! We had issues previously with our dog getting stressed when we would leave her with others - but not with Claudia and Jed! She is so excited when we arrive at their home (shown in photo - this is her smile as well pull up). It is so reassuring to know she is in good hands when we go out of town. She is truly a Content Critter when we get home.
My Goldendoodle Star loves Claudia. She got in the car with her the first time she met her and never looked back. That’s saying something because Star doesn’t usually like strangers. They board Star at their house and she always comes back happy. I can go away and never worry. They are professional and personable and very reliable. Love them.
We’ve been using Content Critter for several years to look after our cats when we’re away from home. They have always done a wonderful job, providing pictures and updates of our “fur babies“ and going above and beyond to look after them. The last time we were away, there was a major storm with power outages, and Nicole even checked in a second time that day to make sure our pets were okay. I always feel completely safe and comfortable and can’t recommend Content Critter enough! (Included picture of Wyatt with the mail Nicole brought in!)
They take great care of Kingston and he has increased his social interactions while attending their daycare. I am so glad that I chose Content Critter, Mrs Claudia and her family are the BEST. Your pet will be in excellent care and peace of mind is very important to me.
We have used Content Critter since 2008. Claudia and her team are amazing! They are trustworthy, kind with our elderly (20-year old) cat, and reliable. It gives us peace of mind when we leave knowing that someone is watching our fur-baby. They email daily service reports with notes about their visit, and often share photos. One of their team members left us an amazing note after our most recent trip with details about our cat while she was there and a very helpful suggestion based on her own experience with an elderly kitty. It is just another reason why we continue to use their services! We are so so grateful to Claudia and her team, I love to travel but hate to leave my darling kitty. It's such a relief getting updates and photos during our time away, and I am really impressed with the level of care and detail this company provides.
Claudia and her team at Content Critter is truly BEST IN CLASS for in-home dog services. AMAZING. I'm so very glad to have stumbled upon their services and I'm sure you will be to. My three 'not small' dogs are walked several times each week by the Content Critter team..... this in itself is a herculean exercise....and the fact that my dogs are absolutely in love with the Content Critter team.....puts a smile on my face every time they are here.
I would highly recommend Content Critter Pet Sitters to anyone who loves their dogs like they are our children. Claudia, her husband and son are some of the nicest and most conscientious people I've ever met; they took excellent care of my dog. Will definitely call them again!
I do not have biological children,but my pets are basically my most prized treasures to me and leaving them is supremely stressful. Claudia Todd and her son made sincere ,from the heart, efforts to look after my "kids" when I needed to go out of town. I returned to find them well fed, relaxed and in cleaned habitats as I left them. Content Critter ives up to its name because yours will be exactly that: content ! This business is trust worthy, honest, reliable ,professional, and above all, KIND. Claudia loves animals and you will see her care reflect in your pets when you get back. Thank you for caring for all five of the crew, Claudia !Quilliam says, "Happy 2021!"
We've been using Content Critter for years and rely on their expertise and attention to detail. They provide excellent pet care services. I am impressed with the attention they give to our pets. They are respectful with our home and let us know how things are going in our absence by text and email. We are so happy with their care and have complete confidence in them.
My dog Mason and I love Playtime. Every member of the staff are very conscientious, caring, and wonderful with the dogs. Jess is excellent at matching dogs by temperament so there is a lot of interaction and fun play. Special events like birthdays and holidays are celebrated with great photos taken by Lauren. Alise does an amazing job of scheduling and treats every owner and pet as if they are the only special customer. My Mason squeals with excitement when we pull into the parking lot and comes home tired and happy.
We used to send out dog to daycare here. She loved it! The staff here are great at communicating how her was at daycare and how she interacted with other dogs. They also occasionally sent emails to check on our pup. We have since had to rehome our pup but she definitely loved it here and I would highly recommend them for the daycare and grooming services.
My Belle was bath there and they were awesome considering my dog was never professionally bath before. Belle looked amazing. Thank you so much for everything you guys are amazing.
We love love love Playtime. We have 3 dogs. One of them is very timid with other dogs. She was turned away from one of the big dog daycare/boarding chains because she "wasn't having enough fun" (she laid in the corner and kept to herself in the playroom). From the first phone call with Playtime, I could tell this place was different. The owner/manager took a good amount of time getting all the details about our dogs and explaining everything thoroughly. I had never felt so comfortable with the idea of someone else caring for my dogs. When we brought the dogs in for a temperament test, they let us know that our shy dog was a bit nervous, but it's nothing they couldn't handle. They actually made the effort to give her attention and try to get her to play and to be more comfortable. The service was incredibly individualized, which we truly needed. I can't say enough good things. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of while we were away. We love checking the FB page to see if there are any pics of our dogs. We've been back for daycare but please please please bring back overnight boarding. This place was a godsend!
I am beyond delighted wirh Playtime Doggie Daycare and Pet Salon. I brought my two pups here after careful review and interacting with the staff. They spent quite a bit of time with me before they even took care of my dogs. They have an established business (14 years I think)and have a substantial staff; who all appear happily employed. You are able to view the dogs in their day care, who seem content in the silly way only dogs have. Big dogs are separated from small dogs. One surprising observation all the dogs are shockingly good looking. Great cuts. Glossy coats. Bright excited eyes. That in itself is a revelation regarding the high quality care given. The facility is spotless and smells clean. When my dogs greet me after their grooming their tails are wagging and they are excited. Plus the cuts are beyond gorgeous! Shout out to Angie their groomer! Even my vet commented on the superior quality of their cuts. Please research where you leave your pets. I have close exposure to a kennel and it's heartbreaking what the dogs endure without their owners knowing. You can't stay in business 14 years unless dogs are your passion.
Chico Buresch Tusso went to doggie daycare he loved it we took him to doggie day care to get groomed and he smelled good..
I like bringing my dog Chase here for grooming I like his groomer, prices good and smaller place. Rating low bc for the past couple of months I have not been pleased with the front reception. Each time I arrive I am very pleasant. The greetings, attitude/tone is not. I was never informed about discount if you bring your dog every certain amount of wks for grooming each month. I never knew this until I heard her share this with other customers. When I asked her about it she gave me a strange look said info is posted on side wall. An ongoing customer each month should be informed of this by communication! There was a time I dropped off my dog /receptionist was eating lunch/talking and I was left standing there waiting (can’t remember how long) to be serviced and when she finally greeted me her face/tone was not pleasant! Lastly after Covid it seemed the smell of the reception area has been horrible, to the point I felt sick on my stomach. I understand it’s a grooming/play facility for dogs however it can smell better. My husband picked up our dog for the first time last month and he spoke about how bad the smell. In this field of work you treat all that come in with Great customer service as well as keeping front area smelling fresh. If not , for me I will spend my money elsewhere and will not recommend your facility.
This place is great. My pup really doesn't like being taken from her family to go for her bath, but they are so sweet with her. They do a great job with her bath, along with nail trim, and keeping her floppy ears clean. My family also utilizes their daycare option from time to time, and the dog's love it. The people here know dogs, and take every precaution to make sure your pup stays safe. Costs for baths range, depending on breed and need, but they're definitely competitive.
My dog has not done well at other daycares, because she get nervous and overwhelmed. The staff at playtime took their time to help her feel comfortable and safe, and she even made a friend! They do an excellent job grooming her as well. She looks beautiful!
My husband and I just adore Mary, she has been our groomer for our Sasha, Daisy and Lula for close to 13 years. Mary does a wonderful job, she is knowledgeable on breed pacific cuts, she is caring and so kind, when my fur babies get out of the car, they get so excited to see Mary, they know they are going to get lots of love we will not take them anywhere else
My dog loves to stay here and it’s convenient with the Doggie Day Care as well. Sometimes things come up and even if I have to drop my dog off last minute, they are so accommodating! If you are looking for a place to keep your fur baby, I highly recommend!
We have been clients of The Doggie Playhouse for over 10 years ever since our dogs were pups. The Doggie Playhouse’s staff are the only other people besides my mother that I would trust to provide the level of care to our dogs that I require. Our dogs are considered our children and we now consider Kelli, Joe and the staff part of our extended family when it comes to caring and loving our fur babies. I highly recommend them. Having Kelli, Joe and the staff involved in the care of your dogs will bring you peace of mind and you will wish you had gone to the Doggie Playhouse sooner. We are blessed to have Kelli, Joe and the staff in our lives.
I had to put my puppy in daycare because I work 12hr shifts at night and when I get home she wants to play and I want to sleep. This place has given me peace of mind knowing that she is being watched by people who love dogs and getting the exercise she needs while I get the rest I need. Their hours allows me to drop her off when I get off and pick her up before I go back in! They are also super affordable!
Highly recommend this location for day care and boarding. We have previously utilized other, bigger doggie daycare centers in the Newark area, but loved the "Mom and Pop" personal feel of the Doggie Playhouse. Their staff are super friendly and my skittish dog runs right up to them every time. The owner, Joe, is very personable and overall just a lovely human (my dog agrees!) We've unfortunately moved from the area, but I would be remiss if I did not share how great of a daycare center this location is. I wish Joe and his staff/business many years of great business and success!
Had sent my dog there for years. They’re very kind and caring. Love them!
I have had a horrible experience with this owner..I brought my dog in for a short weekend stay when I go to pick him up the credit card machine was not working which I get happens so I called the next morning to pay gave my number and they told me that k you ...a few days later I get an invoice asking for pymnt I immediately emailed them and he said I have no record of pymnt I wa shocked what happened when I called In where and who took my credit card number I wanted to make sure that it had actually not gone thru which took me a while as my phone I can not see well and had to request the atmnt at my cost ...so I emailed them and let them kept them informed for which I have all emails and then I let them know that my card was not charged for which they still have not told me who or where my information went ...but now due to there mistake my dog is not allowed back ...that i a how good customers are treated
I boarded my dog for the first time here. He's a senior with some mobility issues. They allowed him a big open space and also provided him with a rug so he wouldn't slip on the floors. Would highly recommend
Joe and his team take such great care of our Blaine. Blaine is a very temperamental dog but drags to me to the car when he sees his “suitcase” because he knows he’s staying a few days at the Doggie Playhouse! I cannot say enough great things about the care he gets while there! I highly recommend The Doggie Playhouse for your pets!
The Doggie Playhouse is the best! My 7 month old puppy loves it there. Since starting about a month ago, her confidence has grown tremendously due to the amount of socialization she gets with staff and other dogs. My expectations were more than met and we are relieved to have found a fantastic option for boarding/daycare!
The Doggie Playhouse welcomed Bella into the family with open arms. Bella is super energetic and playful and absolutely loves daycare. With our previous daycare option, we slowly became a number rather than a beloved and loyal customer. The Doggie Playhouse staff continue to value and appreciate my business, and tirelessly work to accommodate Bella, ensuring her health and safety while she is playing. The biggest selling point (and a fabulous idea) is that Bella gets a 2hour nap from 12pm-2pm. This really gives Bella a chance to settle down and relax before continuing her play during the second half of the day. The small local feel that Joe and team provide to their customers is also a huge asset. I would highly recommend daycare here.
We were did 3 weeks of board and train and were very satisfied with the results. Our dog struggled with resource guarding, walking on a leash and reactivity. We saw a huge improvement over time. Our dog still requires additional training but Corey help provide the resources and tools to ensure we were set up to do that on our own.
Corey is just the best! Frank, our 4 year old rott mix was a handful. We went to other trainers and used all the methods from Cesar Milan, love that guy, but Frank still had big issues. We struggled with dog aggression, reactivity, and a handful of other problems. We did a 3 week board and train and would recommend/already have, Corey to everyone! We are living in a whole new world! I will say, if as a pet owner, you’re not willing to also put in the work, no training will work. Corey helped build our confidence and Franks, we can’t thank him enough!!!
Corey was amazing! I was having reactivity issues with my black lab Maverick, I contacted Corey and we decided the 2 week board and train hybrid package would be best for Maverick! The package was worth the investment. Maverick has made great progress since the beginning of his training sessions! Corey is patient, kind, answered any and all questions and is great at explaining concepts to make sure you understand! Corey kept me up to date with pictures and videos of Maverick! Maverick is much more confident in social settings, has greatly improved his recall, and listens to commands! I can now confidently take Maverick out in public. I would highly recommend Corey to anyone!
Corey helped my dog Archer significantly with socializing. And more importantly, he equipped me with the tools to be a great dog owner! I highly recommend his dog training and dog obedience services. i did the one-on-one sessions and then a year later did the one week board and train as "college" to further refine archer's skills. He can now be trusted off leash with his safe, friendly eCollar. highly recommend Corey to anyone looking for affordable dog training services. Contact Corey! you will be glad you did!
I am beyond happy as my wildest dreams have come true. I have a 100 lb. livestock guardian dog and live on 7 acres surrounded by parkland with hunting and 2 heavily used roads. I wanted so much to be able to have my dog off-leash to walk around and to and from the barn. Corey taught us many things but the most important was recall and keeping her at a heal. It happened today! I had stuff in my hand and decided to not put her leash on. We were doing great and as we got closer to the barn, I spotted at least a dozen deer. I stayed calm and kept walking. She stayed at my side without hesitation. She looked at the deer and stayed with me! All the way back to the house was even better. Corey was wonderful with my puppy. He made it fun for her and she loves seeing him now for boarding as well. Corey was the best investment I have ever made in a dog. Thank you. Joy Latzko
Core K9 has been Outstanding with our mixed puppy. Corey trained us and the puppy! All dog training is expensive but Core K9 will get you real results. My pup loves going and gets so excited when we pull up to Core K9! Corey will even make videos so you can see your pup in action. I recommend Core K9 Solutions!
My dog Louie took Corey's 2 week puppy training and I feel like it made all the difference to set him up to be a disciplined and well behaved adult dog. Half the training is done with the human owner, and he did a great job teaching me how to continue with the training. Corey also is the only person I'll board my dog with. Furthermore... I've also had training and general dog ownership questions that I have reached out to him about since. He's always so helpful and responsive - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
We just completed Corey's hybrid training package and are EXTREMELY HAPPY! with the results. During our five 1-in-1 training sessions and a 2 week board and train, we and our energetic 14 month old goldendoodle, Wally, have learned the training and dog-life skills that will ensure our best life together. Corey's patience and practical training showed us how to handle Wally's bad behavior and help Wally learn acceptable behavior that will allow his personality to shine. Shout out to the Core K9 film and camera crew! We especially enjoyed watching Wally's training accomplishments on Instagram while we were away. Whether you have had dogs before, or if this is your first dog, we highly recommend you train with Core K9. You will be glad you did!
Corey helped us with a 5 session package 1 on 1 at our residence with our 4 month old Shepherd Ace. Corey is a great trainer, very patient and gentle . He gave the whole family plenty of tips and tricks to work with Ace. I feel very confident in continuing Aces training myself and will definitely bring him to Corey for refresher training and when he needs boarding. I highly recommend using CoreK9 Solutions !
From training our 2 dogs, to taking care of them when we go away, Corey has given us the best experience of care. We've been happy customers for years! Whenever a friend is in need of training or boarding their dogs, we always recommend Core K9 Solutions. It's good to know that their experiences have been positive as well. Corey is thorough in his explanations of how training will work, and clear on about our responsibility of keeping the training going when they come home. There has been great improvement on our pets' behaviors, and we're very happy with Corey's follow up.
