Cat Sitters in Oak Orchard, DE

Top notch! I love how Pawpular Pets goes above and beyond. Not only do I have the piece of mind that I can depend on my precious Taquito gets the exercise she needs when I am not home, but the attention to detail, and all the small extra things I didn't even expect, like bringing in my packages that were on the front porch, pictures of her playing, and a cute little bandana around her neck! I can always expect such quality care for my pup! The only complaint that I have, is that I think my dog loves her walker more than me! I can always depend on Pawpular Pets to be professional and courteous, but yet treat us like family. More businesses should be run this way! Taquito looks forward to me going out to see Joslyn or Mya again!

Joslyn and Mya love my dogs like their own. They are professional and followed the directions left for them so my dogs stayed on their schedule. I am very happy with the services and so are my dogs!

Excellent service. It was so nice meeting Joslyn and she handled my dogs in a very professional manner. They are timid and don’t open up to people very well but she took her time and treated them as if they were her own.

We have a 17 year old Corgi that requires a bit more attention than most other dogs. From the start, the attention to detail and communication we received were the best we’ve ever experienced, and we’ve used many pet sitting services. We highly recommend and have told our friends they should strongly consider using Pawpular for their pet service needs in the future. We couldn’t be more pleased.

Joslyn was so good with my Ellie. You can tell immediately how much she loves animals. Would definitely recommend Pawpular!

Super sweet staff and always treats my pets like their own!

All Awesomeness. All the time.

Laura and her staff are excellent, it’s that simple. Highly recommended. My dogs love it there, more than any other daycare that I use. I travel back and forth from DC. I cannot recommend enough. My only issue is that they are closed on the weekend:-) lily gets ready and waits at the door to go:-)

There are not enough stars in this review. I've had pups my whole life and this is the BEST kennel ever! My Jack goes once a week for daycare and he absolutely loves it! The exceptional staff treat the dogs like they are their own. The dogs get lots of individual attention in a clean and safe environment. They take photos of the days activity and post them on line which is a feature I really enjoy and have used for photo prints. A big thank you to Laura and ALL the wonderful staff. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have used Simply at Home Kennel many times, they are consistently friendly and welcome our Labrador. Our dog is always super excited to go in and happy when we pick him up. Love the daily pics they send out.

My sweet dog, Jolene, was welcomed to Simply at Home’s daycare as a precursor to a future boarding. I initially felt guilty leaving her (I adopted this lovebug from the SPCA; she was a 5-year old stray and I did not want her to again feel deserted). Simply at Home’s staff, however, enthusiastically provided loving care during her stay, an immensely clean environment, pop cups, and a supervised playgroup with other pups, along with pictures, all of which made me, and Jolene(!), very happy.

My dog absolutely loves it here. He plays his heart out, then comes home and doesn't move until the next day! He's a rescue, and his confidence, as well as his trust in the staff have absolutely flourished in the 2 years we have been bringing him here. Everyone there has such a passion for animals, and they figure out the perfect combination of companions for your dog to play with. I'm so glad we found this place!

Great kennel…. Our three Great Danes love Laura, Sierra and the entire staff at Simply at Home. Our dogs do both day care and overnight stays and always come home very happy…. Ozzy, BLU & Edgar !!!

We have been using Simply at Home for our dogs as their “second home” for 8 years and my dogs love this place! They do feel like they are Home when there. The owner is a such a hard working woman, devoted to her business and her staff is the best for they take really great care of all these pets. Highly recommend them!!!

This place is amazing! I called last minute to board my babies and they took them sight unseen and treated them well . I loved receiving pictures of my furbabies each day and everywhere I had access to see the kennels were cleaned exceptionally well, and when I picked them back up, they of course were excited to see me, but there wasn't a stress & fear in their eyes i've received when I have boarded them previously. The staff are friendly and easy to speak with, and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these guys to care for you four-legged babies. Already have another reservation in place, but i'm thinking of just taking them before then to daycare once a week for the socialization with the other babies there.

Laura and her staff take excellent care of my two pug puppies. Whether it’s an overnight stay or daycare play date, they are well cared for, and happy dogs are returned to me. The facility is spotless, and everyone cares for the animals that walk through the door. I heartily recommend this facility for anyone who has a four-legged creature wanting the best of care.

Took my 2 dogs and they were well taken care of . My dogs came home happy and normal.The facility is spotless and Smells good!!! I've boarded dogs several places and never had a good experience like this place. My one dog gets very nervous easily and when we picked him up he was very much himself.

Absolutely Fantastic

Loved receiving pictures of Taters and Beans when Suzanne visited our two cats!! We feel extremely confident leaving them in the care of Beach Buddies ! Thank you Beach Buddies for the peace of mind!!

Beach buddies was amazing. Both our dog's loved them. They came 3 times per day. Feeding and walking each time. Highly recommend! 10/24 We just had Amber and her fantastic ladies at Beach Buddies care for our girls again and we can't say enough good things about them. They take very good care of our pups. Thank you so much ladies. ❤️

We are new clients of Beach Buddies and give them the highest rating possible! It was obvious from the very first communication, that Amber Kelly is a true professional, smart businesswoman and understanding pet care provider. We recently returned from a 2-week Italy vacation and were extremely anxious in arranging quality care for our 2 dogs. One a 6-year-old, energetic Lab and the other, a 16-year-old, deaf, arthritic but oh so sweet, American Eskimo mini. We had never left them for such a long period. Our 16-year-old required special attention. Amber’s team provided overnight care, mid-day walks and evening meals and feeding. All services/appointments were on-time and provided by caring and affectionate walkers. They provided many snapshots, and detailed reports of their time spent with our pets. I venture to say that our pups did not miss us! Amber’s intake form was extremely thorough and well thought-out. The portal used for scheduling, reporting, and invoicing is very easy to use. All communications are sent to your email as well as being available on the portal. Any questions/concerns we had were answered and resolved by Amber promptly. Whether you need occasional walks or long-term pet sitting needs, look no further than Beach Buddies for attentive, compassionate care provided by sensitive professionals.

Beach Buddies makes going away possible! They are the best. My cats are well cared for and the communication is top notch. We get an email with detailed updates and photos. I am so thankful we found Beach Buddies now that we moved here full time! Highly recommend their services!!

Beach Buddies is such a gift! Amber and her staff have made it possible to go away and not worry about our two Labradors. We haven’t had that luxury in quite a long time. We received pics and notes throughout the day after each visit. Their attention to detail (following our feeding instructions, exercise schedules, etc.) made it seem like we never left! They love dogs — pets in general. The only downside: Lola and Callie (our labs) expected the generous playtime, attention, and general cuddle time to continue after we got home. We’re good pet parents, but Beach Buddies have raised the bar! Thanks, Amber, Suzanne, Brittany, and Hailey, for your wonderful care of our pets.

I can’t recommend Beach Buddies enough. They are reliable, provide updates and most importantly, are great with my pets. I have one huge dog (Newfoundland) and a medium dog (golden retriever) and have no worries that they can easily handle them.

The team at Beach Buddies is AMAZING! The professionalism and dedication went above and beyond my expectations. I recommend them to anyone and will certainly be using them again! Thank you for the peace of mind and care!

Beach Buddies provided excellent service for our two dogs, one of which is an eight week old puppy. They were kind and compassionate and very flexible. I cannot wait to use their services again in the future!!

We've used Beach Buddies for about the past 2 years. Amber has done a wonderful job caring for our 2 cats, Scout and Danny, with each visit. We highly recommend their services. Great job, Amber! Thanks so much for all your help. Laurie & Mike

Beach buddies is a wonderful company! All the sitters are great animal lovers and always sends us lots of pictures of our cats. They are great and I'm so happy I found them :)

Deb is a real professional! Our one dogs was very reactive. After many other trainers we still had issues with her. It wasn't until we found Deb that we are now going in the correct direction. Both Shelby and we are now a happier family. We now enjoy walking in the park and our neighborhood with minimal to no issues. Something we couldn't do easily before. We were looking for Deb so our puppy wouldn't learn these traits. Deb has guided us to having a well-balanced happy puppy other people can enjoy as well as us. Deb's calmness and direction really helped us through the ever-trying times of a puppy! If you listen to her guidance and do the homework all will be very happy! Thank you Deb! Paula,Sharon,Shelby and Lily

Deb M is a fabulous trainer who can handle the toughest training challenges like my little puppy. I recommend her highly for your training needs. Deb is professional and very easy to work with. She did her best to understand my needs and then trained my puppy accordingly. I am very pleased with the results. Thanks Deb

Best investment we made to nurture a confident , happy, loving, and trusting relationship with Jackson, our Portuguese Water Dog. Deb gave us the tools to understand the psychology, physiology, and common sense logic to move forward healthily through the puppy months that are usually riddled with pitfalls. Deb gave us “heads up” for behaviors to look for and showed exactly what to do through exercises, homework, rewards, and discipline. The package (10 lessons) that we went through with Jackson has given him the basic understanding to grow and build on his next chapter. Mitch and I couldn’t recommend Deb more….best money spent!

What an amazing learning experience. My best friend deserves, in addition to love, someone that understands what makes her happy and what keeps her safe and healthy. Deb asked what the expectations were, heard them, then built a plan to achieve the vision. Deb is extremely knowledgeable and has a great approach to teaching - she knows what makes us tick! Deb is patient and always made the time to explain and share different proven experiences. Deb met us where we were on our relationship journey, took us on a great ride, and exceeded expectations. What a positive difference! Thank you, Deb!

Deb is such a joy to work with. We are amazed by the difference in the demeanor of our dog after just a few short weeks. He’s a star at the basics and we can even take him with us when we go out to lunch. Winston loves the structure and is wiped after a few minutes of training. Keep in mind, the training is just as much for you as the owner as it is for your pup! Cannot recommend her enough!

I can’t say enough about Peppers Paws. Deb is amazing to work with. She is so calming and explains things so it makes sense. My dog Buddy has come such a long way from when I first started with Deb. He started off with so much anxiety and would howl the whole time I am out of the house to now he lays down and takes a nap. He is so much happier. I originally contacted Deb for separation anxiety and we covered so many topics that was a concern for me. I highly recommend Peppers Paws!

My wife and I (and Jacey) highly recommend working with Deb. Her passion for puppies/dogs and her upbeat nature makes her in-home training engaging and enjoyable. She has a tremendous depth of knowledge with experience in a wide range of training and behavioral situations. She teaches so much more than just sit and stay and educates owners about dogs and proper dog ownership. Deb had a natural way with our Jacey, and her humans. The training was comfortable, not rushed, and Deb took the time to answer all the questions we had. Deb always demonstrated extreme patience with our Mini Dox, and mostly, the learning humans 😊. Bringing a new pup (and new breed for us) into the house changes the dynamic, and Deb kindly made suggestions during the in-home, one on one training that was a tremendous help. Deb had so many fantastic recommendations, it is almost impossible not to be successful with our puppy. With all this being said, and since completing the in-home training, Deb always invited questions, and was always prompt with a response and offered plenty of suggestions to be successful. Jacey, my wife, and I cannot recommend Deb enough! We will tell everyone about her, her love for dogs, and the passion she has to make both humans and dogs successful.

Deb was absolutely amazing with our boy Tucker who had some serious issues with barking at house guests and learning commands. Deb not only listened very closely to our needs but watched Tucker very closely each visit to help us keep him on track. She gave us so many pointers and he has learned many commands. I absolutely recommend her for any dog training you may need!

Deb provides excellent training using positive feedback. Our rescue pup was suffering from anxiety and was not receptive to training techniques we have used with our other dog. Convenient sessions based on our availability in our home and our pup’s environment! If you put the work in, you will see results! Additional support with handouts outlining different training techniques to continuously support your education. Highly recommend!!!!

Deb was such a pleasure to work with and I couldn't have asked for a better trainer! She was so patient and invested in helping us get to a point where we could really enjoy spending time with him. We started lessons with her about a week after bringing our pup home and I'm so happy we did. It had been nearly 10 years since having a puppy and we knew that we could use some help training him, as well as training ourselves. The tips, tools, and homework she gave us were so helpful. She really focused on our specific needs and I enjoyed having our sessions in different environments (in home, on the boardwalk/beach, and meet ups with other pups) to help getting our pup trained and socialized. Highly recommend working with Deb, don't hesitate if you are considering scheduling with her!

Kelly did a great job caring for our cats. They tend to hide with new people, but she was able to charm them out of hiding. Good communication and daily updates with photos were so appreciated. We'll definitely use her services again.

Kelly is great! She showed up on schedule and took care of our cats while we were out of town. We appreciated her photo updates (included) and know our pets were well taken care of.

If I have scheduled in advance or need an unexpected visit, Kelly accommodates taking care of my Rottweiler Zeyda every time. She takes her out for walks, spends time with her while playing with her toys, and gets a great picture every time with some tasty treats! I truly appreciate the care she gives for my pet.

Kelly is absolutely wonderful and extremely professional. I have a 130lb Rottweiler who just LOVES her!! I've had MANY fails before and I wouldn't ever trust anyone else !! If she has ANY questions I'm contacted IMMEDIATELY !! I've used Kelly many times and will continue to do so !! It's such a relief to be able to go away and not worry about your baby and come home to a healthy and happy pup !! I Highly recommend WAGS AND BISCUITS ❤️❤️❤️

Kelly is the only person I trust with my chihuahua. My dog has bad anxiety and as soon she met Kelly, it's like gia (that's my dogs name) knew she was in good hands. She is always available and her prices are super reasonable. I've dealt with a lot of people and once I came across Kelly I never looked further. I couldn't be more thankful to have found the best sitter in southern DE !!!

Kelly is amazing! Cinders (our cat) adores her!! We just returned from vacation and Kelly sent us pictures and detailed texts on Cinders the entire vacation. We are pretty sure Cinders will help us pack for our next vacation! Nope…..not missing Mommy and Daddy, if she can visit with Aunt Kelly! We HIGHLY recommend Kelly to take care of your “fur babies”!!!!!! Piece of mind is everything when you leave them with someone you can truly trust. Thank you Kelly!!!

Kelly Cole truly loves animals. She goes above and beyond in taking care of dogs or cats. I always know my fur baby has the BEST quality care with Kelly. I highly recommend her!!!

We love Kelly. She takes great care of our 2 cats and send photo updates. She is very trustworthy and reliable so we always have peace of mind when we are away.

Kelly does a great job. She is professional, friendly, and very easy to work with. But, most of all, she loves pets. She sends daily pictures or videos which are great to see when we are away. I highly recommend using Kelly for your pet-sitting needs!

They are so very reliable and SUPER great with our dog. Kelly is wonderful and our dog loves to spend time with her. It really helps us out on days that we are at work.

Love this place! The doggie daycare is so Convenient, clean and the price can't be beat. The staff are so caring and friendly. Jim an his team are the Absolute best!! wouldn't trust my 6 month old puppy with anyone else. My puppy Duke is always so happy being dropped off and picked up. He loves his new friends. Only place around I will be taken my baby.

My sister and I have an annual shopping trip to hit the Tanger Outlets in Rehoboth, DE (we are coming from MD). I was going to back out having recently rescued a Belgian Malinois puppy (January 2024). I also have a 13 year old Malinois, who is happy spend most of his day sleeping. Well, you can see my predicament, Malinois puppy energy versus senior Malinois. I was stressing over this trip until my sister found a "sitter". Unfortunately, the sitter reconsidered, worried her four pound Dorkie would not hold up to my 70lb Mal puppy. Cus in Jungle Jim's Total Pet Care. The sitter recommended we contact Jungle Jim's to see if he was brave enough to take on Jett as a last minute drop off. How great is it that we didn't need to contract x amount of days, this one off was perfectly acceptable. Jim made it very easy. Any question was answered quickly, sending vaccine and vet documents, easy. Friday morning we arrived to a very convenient location to where we would be shopping (10 minutes or so out of Rehoboth) and on the main drag. This is important to me because I get lost in a paper bag! Jett was all wiggles meeting Cassidy, and Cassidy asked all the right questions (is she a jumper, biter, plays well with others...). Cassidy seemed genuinely excited to have Jett for the day (she is truly a gem of a dog). The facility is clean and very pet friendly. I was kept updated on Jett's day; playing, napping, body functions . when we picked her up, she was fast asleep in the front window, she looked completely worked out (that's always the goal with. Mal). We met Jim and one of Jett's walkers. I couldn't have been happier with the positive report on my pup. if you ever find yourself in a bind for a daycare option or boarding site while vacationing at the DE beaches, I highly recommend Jungle Jim's. My little girl was given the best care.

This is the best experience we've ever had with boarding our two dogs. Previously our "kids" shook for a week or more after being boarded at other kennels. With Jim, they came out wagging their tails and happy. The layout is fantastic. There is a homey safe environment. We will only board our dogs at Jungle Jim's!

Beau had an absolute blast at Jungle Jim’s! Jim has excellent customer service skills and clearly cares a lot about the dogs. He texted frequently to update me on Beau and was always very friendly in response. Beau was tuckered out after his big weekend!

Love this place! We have to drop off the little ones for few hours. Jim able to accommodate us and very responsive to text message. My little ones were so calm in there and this is the first time they are in day care. Eddie is a barker but he didn't bark at all in there, they have a really relax environment. We would definitely go there again!!

Our puppies had a wonderful time boarding with Jungle Jim! They came home happy and healthy!

Jim and his team were great. Our girl Abbey had a great time there during our three-day stay in Rehoboth. Rates are reasonable, and customer service is great!

Jungle Jim's Total Pet Care in Dewey Beach took excellent care of our dog, Lucy, while we were on vacation. The attentive and knowledgeable staff gave us peace of mind, and we’re grateful for such a well-respected, professional operation. Highly recommend!

Jungle Jim's was a great safe haven for our ~4 year mixed breed rescue dog while we were at the beach this summer. We called prior to the start of the season to get the low-down for the occasional visit throughout the 2022 summer season and Jim was thorough explaining the policies and patient with our questions. The facility is clean, the runs are small (2-5 dogs per run depending on size), and we felt comfortable leaving our pup with JJ. They are a well-oiled machine with a small business feel and are also very flexible and affordable given the area. The best part of Jungle Jim's was the manager Alexa! She is professional and very caring to all the animals that come through the door. She was so sweet with our dog, we felt infinitely more comfortable leaving her knowing that she was in Alexa's caring hands. She works so hard and give the dogs a ton of attention, affection, and walks. We are very grateful to Alexa and Jungle Jim's for their great service so we could enjoy our beach season!

What an exceptional experience using Jungle Jim’s Total Pet care for boarding our Great Dane. The space was clean and perfect for our big guy. I can tell he was lovingly taken care of. Jim is great with communication and accommodating his needs. Will absolutely be using and recommending their services again.

Amazing service! Would highly recommend their services to other pet parents

For someone that is always on the go, I truly appreciate Barking Trails services! They are a great company that is easy to work with!

Wonderful company! Great service and care!
