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.

Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $ per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I take my pup to Hannahs House for Daycare a few days every week for over two years at this point. He absolutely loves it and can’t wait to get there in the morning and being a high energy little guy, when he comes home, he eats and sleeps well! Hannah’s House feels like family to me and my pup. I trust and know he is safe and well taken care of when I drop him off for the day. Or when I have to travel and board him for a bit of a longer stay. The staff are friendly and informative and they know and love my pup. I can’t recommend them enough!
The boys love coming here for their spa day. Pups always look and smell so good when they're done. Definitely recommend checking them out.
I've been taking my dog to Hannah's house for years! They are the best! My dog enjoys being there and the staff is friendly! They always take care of her and if anything happens they always contact me right away! When I pick her up at the end of the day they give me feedback if she was having any kind of issues or if she was having a good day! This place is amazing!
I take my dog to Hannah's House multiple times a week and board her when needed. Its great having a place i know she is being taken care of and i don't have to worry. My dog absolutely loves going there. Sean and Hannah and all the staff there are awesome. Its like my dogs second home!!!!
I have used Hannah’s House to board my two dogs in the past. I had only boarded them overnight a couple of times since we live close by, but this time, I boarded them here for a week. Never again!! Not only did I pay over $600 to board them, they were extremely filthy and stinky when I picked them up. They were not dropped off like that! Both dogs had small piece of feces on them and my oldest dog has had severe kennel cough since I picked them up. Why wouldn’t they wipe poop off of them? They were not dropped off like that. I usually board at their vet, but they were full. The service does not justify the costs- usually when you board dogs in the same run, you are given at least a half off for the second dog discount. Not here, just $2 off for the second dog and they don’t provide food. A ridiculous amount of money, and since they have been back I have incurred more costs as I have had to get a vet appointment to address my oldest dog darn near coughing up a lung. I knew something wasn’t right this time around…..they came back acting traumatized. Not sure if the conditions in the kennel are true, but they way they were returned to me, I have to believe it’s not the most sanitary. I love supporting small businesses, but unfortunately that was my last time boarding them here.
My family has been using Hannah's since 2016 and have always had a great experience. Highly recommend!
unsanitary conditions for the dogs. the yard is over grown with grass. one of the girls in charge of the day care actually hits people’s dogs when they aren’t listening…VERY UNACCEPTABLE!!! the kennels are nasty as well. just overall bad experience. wouldn’t recommend it
We have been a longtime customer of Hannah’s house and have always had a great experience. We really like that the dogs have an indoor/outdoor free play area.
Wet run down. Unsanitary. Very humid damp wet. In building back Yard for dogs is nothing but dirt. Untrained staff owner place should be knocked down. Dont pay employees take money from them. Recommend. Never using Hanna’s house. Dogs deserve better.
This kennel is run down and very outdated. The kennel where they board the dogs is very humid and stuffy, when I took a tour i heard the one employee complaining and seemed very upset it was so hot and humid and don’t blame her I broke a sweat just standing inside looking at the kennel area. The employees were complaining and no one seemed happy all seemed to be in a bad mood like they don’t wanna be there and didn’t care. They do not do what they claim they do when you board your dogs or even have your dogs in daycare. They don’t treat your dogs like they care about them they drag and pull them around. Standing in the building talking to lady at the desk and you hear someone yelling that a dog escaped the lady in office doesn’t do anything to help or even respond back, so how many dogs have escaped that they don’t tell anyone about? My dog was in day care and got hurt multiple times from different dogs attacking him that he can’t even go to daycare anymore because they would rather keep the dogs that start the fights there instead and it’s not like it’s only my dog I have been told these dogs have started fights with many other dogs and they still keep them there and allow them to do these things. I won’t bring my dog to play and enjoy daycare anymore because they can’t keep dogs safe and fights to a minimum, and they really don’t seem to care. I would be afraid to even board my dog here ever again.
I have been bringing my furry friend to Kenyesta's Fur Baby Haven LLC for over three years now! He lights up whenever she’s around—it’s so sweet to see how excited he gets when I pull up and spot her. The place is always kept so clean and welcoming, and you can just tell that every dog is treated with tons of love and care. I feel so blessed to have found someone who takes such great care of my pet; it gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands!
I have left my Husky, Ryder, with Kenyesta several times and she is wonderful! Ryder has separation anxiety and does not like being away from me, but when we pull up to Kenyesta’s, he can’t get out of the car fast enough. He loves her (and her husband)! She sends texts and photos while I’m away and he always looks like he’s having the best time. I wouldn’t consider leaving him with anyone else. Thank you, Kenyesta!!
Extremely pleased with the love, care & patience Kenyesta provides for our 3-yo pup Dior! She’s been our go-to boarder since she was a puppy. She provides photo updates, crafts a healthy social environment based on size &keeps track of all pups vaccinations! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone in Delaware!
I love, love, love Kenyesta’s Furbaby Haven! Her place was like home away from home for my dog Precious. When you walk through the door, you can instantly tell that your pet will be safe and well cared for. We used Kenyesta many times and I’ve absolutely no regrets. My dog would take off as soon as we got her inside and removed her leash because she was that comfortable there. Kenyesta has a special rapport with animals. She’s a natural. She should be called the “Dog Whisperer “. The facility is very clean and well kept. There are areas for different sized dogs and kenyesta is very knowledgeable about what dogs she can and cannot pair together. I never had any issues or worries when leaving Precious in Kenyesta’s care. She came highly recommended and I pass this recommendation along to anyone needing a safe haven for their pet. ( In case you are wondering why I am speaking in past tense it’s because my Baby crossed over, but if I ever decide to get another pet, I most definitely will book with Kenyesta’s Furbaby Haven.)
Kenyesta 's Furbaby Haven is truly a Godsend. Last year, when my wife and I were about to leave for our vacation, our original dogsitter abandoned us at the last minute! We were didn't know what to do until we reached out to Kenyesta. She came to our rescue and was able to keep Pockets, our puppy at the last minute. We have been using Kenyesta for our dogsitting needs ever since. We appreciate her loving care of our dog, her sending of pictures to let us know how Pockets is doing, and that she maintains the proper number of dogs in her care. This fact alone assures us she provides personal attention to Pockets while he is in her care. I would definitely recommend Kenyesta's Furbaby Haven to anyone and to everyone who cares how their pet is cared for and treated while in her care.
Kenyesta is always amazing and cares for my dogs as if they were her own. I have a golden retriever that loves everything and everyone and a mix breed that is scared of his own shadow. My golden does pretty good in the car going most places, but my other dog hates traveling anywhere and preffers to stay home. The fact of the matter is when it comes time to take them to kenyesta, both of them are trying to jump through the door when we get to her house. The fact that they both love her as much as they do is enough for me to know I would never take them anywhere else without being forced to. This will always be my number one place to take my dogs when I go on vacations.
I highly recommend Kenyesta for dog-sitting! She took exceptional care of my dog, Oslo, while I was away. Every day, she sent me pictures and updates, which made me feel so at ease. Oslo was always so happy when I got home, which shows just how well she cared for him. Her dedication and love for animals really shine through, and I’m so grateful to have had someone so dependable looking after Oslo. Thank you, Kenyesta!
I have been bringing Colton to Kenyesta for overnight stays for over a year now. She is always reliable and I feel relaxed while I'm away knowing that Colton is in great hand. Kenyesta is very responsive and sends pictures while away. I am so grateful to have someone I can trust!
Star stayed overnight for the first time last Monday. She must have loved it because she didn’t leave Kenyesta’s side when she brought her out to come home.
The Best Doggie Day care in Delaware!
