Dog Sitters in Brandywine Springs Manor, DE

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! 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.

We’ve been using All Creatures for several weeks now and we are absolutely thrilled with the service we have received. Brooke is the best. She communicates well and gives our dogs lots of special care. We were concerned too about sending one of our dogs to day care because we tried taking her to daycare once before at a commercial chain and she flunked out (they called us and told us she was too stressed out to stay). But she loves All Creatures and both of them can’t wait to go in the morning and crash when they come home because they are tired and happy. That’s what I call a win-win. Try All Creatures you won’t be disappointed.

Brooke and her team at All Creatures Pet Care are absolutely fantastic! The process is well run, easy to use app, and they gather all kinds of info on your pets’ likes/dislikes, habits. The team has been great with my dogs. I have used Brooke’s services for single day, quick coverage; as well as for 7-8 day vacations where they stayed in our home. It was so good for pups to be home in their normal routine and Sarah did a wonderful job caring for our dogs. I would absolutely and highly recommend Brooke and her All Creatures team!

I can't say enough good about Gabby & Chris. They were able to help with handling my pup in a different way that really helped both of us be more confidant. I am now able to have Athena meet other dogs without the over reactions she had before. 100% cannot say enough good things about the trainings!

Cannot recommend Chris and Gabby enough! They met with me at a halfway point just to help me out and really opened my eyes to how to better communicate with and reward my working line GSD pup. She does not open up quickly to strangers and Chris was easily able to get her engaged in play away from me and gave me a lot of pointers moving forward in building confidence in new situations. One main thing we will be working on is phasing out food as a reward and introduce play as the reward in obedience. They brought two of their dogs to demo for me and I cannot wait to get to that point with my girl! Really looking forward to putting this lesson into action and future lessons! Bonus points that they are never going to avoid training in the rain, it was a great time!

There are not enough positive adjectives to describe my experience with Motivated Canine. My husband and I have two German shepherds. Our lovable rescue Greta (small pony we lovingly call her at 115 pounds 2 years old) struggled with her anxiety and all new things. She started refusing to use the steps to come inside and go upstairs, she hated walks, going in the car and any change to her routine causing us to put her on medication to try and help her but it just made her drowsy. With a baby on the way we were so worried as our dogs mean everything to us and we wanted her to be more confident and set up for success. Well thank goodness we found a trainer that understood Greta, us and held the same values. We ended up making the choice to board and train. I could not imagine a day without her but Chris’s professionalism, communication and commitment to Greta and her success made all the difference. Chris goes above and beyond and even that doesn’t do him justice and all that he does. Greta is now home, off medication, doing better than we could have expected and his commitment to her success has never wavered or stopped. Checking in, and even though it’s a business it’s truly a passion that he is just best in class at. He creates individualized training plans, he doesn't rush and truly cares for your pet the way you would. I will continue to use him for any pet in the future and recommend him to anyone. You will not find a better trainer out there because the training is in a way secondary it’s all love and care for your fur baby.

Gabby & Chris are absolutely super! They were incredibly helpful and patient; brainstorming out of the box solutions for my dog that struggled with overstimulation. They modified everything to suit my dog— her sensitivities, reinforcers, and quirky behaviors. They went above and beyond to make sure I understood what was being asked and how to continue the training on my own. My dog had a great time and we left our session feeling so much more optimistic and hopeful! Can’ t wait to keep working together! Thank you so much Gabby & Chris!

I recently took my small (skittish) dog Connor for training sessions with Motivated Canine. They were very informative, gave us tips and we did actual exercises with all the dogs together on how to handle various issues. I was impressed after a couple sessions that my dog was no longer getting overly excited when first seeing the other dogs. He had some leash skills going in that we worked on refining, and I am very pleased with the results!

I got Chris and Gabby to come give my dog Blu some lessons. They were great. They definitely corrected the issues I was having with her showed me some other things as well. Blu was excited to see them everything. They are great would definitely recommend their service.

Gabby and Chris are the best! They are some of the most passionate people I've ever met and it absolutely shows in their work. No matter what your specific goals are, they will make sure they work with you to develop the best plan possible and keep you updated along the way. They genuinely care so much about their clients and are always going the extra mile. Their training is an investment that keeps on giving!

These two have an incredible thing going! Chris and Gabby are a power team and know exactly what they are doing when it comes to training. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for low level training -- to the highest level! Keep up the good work Motivated Canine!

Gabby and Chris are amazing trainers! They have clearly put the work in the learn to train a dog the right way and continue to learn to be even more proficient trainers every day! I’ve worked with them for years now and am constantly impressed by them. They are one of very few people I’d trust my dogs with.

This was an excellent class for our dog! He is walking on a leash SO much better, and the instructors made everything simple to follow and understand. Would highly recommend their services!

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

Flat out the best daycare for dogs in the country, I've used dozens even in major cities none compare to this place, service is VIP level.

Michelle and her staff at Dog Dayz are incredible! I originally looked into daycare options for Lola as a way for her to meet other dogs while working through some social anxiety, but none worked out until we met Michelle and Sarah. At only 10lbs Lola was nervous at first in a new environment surrounded by much larger dogs -- Michelle was optimistic about how daycare could benefit her and has continued to work with Lola week after week to get more comfortable in the pack! Lola has been going to Dog Dayz for 6 months now and loves it. She has even made a few friends! I appreciate knowing she has a safe place to interact with other dogs while I’m a work. The staff pay such close attention to her and always check in during the day with updates. We have had a great experience here and I can’t recommend it enough!

Michelle and all of the staff that work at Dog Dayz have been so amazing and patient with our dog Reese. Reese is reactive towards people but loves dogs so much and had done amazing at daycare where we used to live, but we were nervous to put him in a new day care environment after moving. I explained my situation to Michelle and she was so accommodating and accepting of him, letting him come in on a trial basis with close supervision to see how he would acclimate. Now he goes once or twice a week and he is obsessed with Dog Dayz! All of the staff have been wonderful with Reese and his behavior issues. It is so nice and comforting to know that he has a safe and accepting environment to play and socialize in. We love Dog Dayz!

I was nervous to take my rescue to a daycare but knowing they specialize in rescues and after my first meeting at Dog Dayz I knew he was in good hands! A neighbor recommended I reach out to Michelle and I could not be happier with how I’ve watched his confidence grow with other dogs and people. Before I even put my car in park in the parking lot he’s ready to jump out to see his friends. As a 2 year old his energy seems endless, but he’s always pooped when I pick him up. I’m so thankful to Michelle and her team at Dog Dayz for the positive changes I’ve seen in my pup.

We are new residences to the Wilmington area and we’re looking for a space for our dog Bogey to make new friends and have weekly social interactions with other dogs. We are so grateful we found DogDayz. It’s a big open facility with lots of different dogs and plenty of attentive and knowledgeable staff. Bogey absolutely loves going there. He gets so excited when we drop him off and doesn’t want to leave when we come to pick him up. It’s the highlight of his week and we love knowing he’s playing and getting exercise while we are at work.

The staff is what separates this place from all of the rest! They love our girls, and our fur kids certainly love them back! We are happy and blessed we found them!

Very friendly staff who clearly love dogs and are also nice to people! ...my dog goes twice a week and returns exhausted from playing. I like the gate system they have set up to ensure nobody darts out, I feel my dog is safe and the dogs are well supervised and cared for.

I feel so blessed to have found Dog Dayz. The staff is unbelievable! They are true dog lovers, and sincerely care about your baby or babies. I contacted several services when I decided my active puppy needed to go to daycare two days a week. The only one that responded was Dog Dayz. Not only did the owner, Michelle, respond within an hour but it was on a Sunday afternoon. She was responsive and informative, and we immediately set up a meet and greet the following week. My Milkshake has been attending two days a week for almost two months now. I could not be happier. Michelle, Kimm, Cierra, and Dylan are amazing to work with. Cierra and Dylan have reached out to inform me of things I need to know about, and I appreciate that greatly. Milkshake gets beyond excited the second we grab his harness and leash and say “are you ready to go to school”. He cannot get out the door fast enough! When he comes home, he is a different dog. The energy he is able to release by playing with his friends has decreased his hyper activity and negative, destructive behavior. I feel less guilty because he has not been in a crate all day. It makes my evenings less stressful because he puts himself in his crate and sleeps for at least 2 to 3 hours while I cook dinner and do my evening routine. This is the best decision we could have ever made and money well spent! Once I can afford to increase his days, I will surely do so! Thank you Dog Dayz staff for your dedication, hard work, communication, professionalism and loving hearts. ❤️ I added a pic of Milkshake passed out after a day with his friends. I cannot say enough positive things about this Daycare. I highly recommend Dog Dayz. You will not be disappointed!

Dog Dayz has been wonderful for our big, energetic 2 year-old puppy. She comes home completely worn out. The team is so sweet to her, and more than once, they’ve alerted us to her health concerns before we’ve noticed them ourselves. We’re so grateful for their attentiveness—they really love and care for your pets.

Dog Dayz has been a LIFESAVER for us! We have a very energetic puppy, and Michelle & her staff have been so wonderful in welcoming her to the pack & taking amazing care of her. #ClementineInTheCity has food allergies & they are super cautious & great about letting us know when she's out of her special treats so that she doesn't get chicken. We'd be lost without Dog Days & can't recommend them enough!

My Golden Retriever, Obi, attended Dog Dayz for 11 years. He made many friends and enjoyed his play dates especially with Lulu, Milo, Foster, Bailey, Rocky, Daisy, and Tucker to name just a few. The staff, Michelle, Kimm, and Brian, know and love dogs. They take pride in providing a great playtime experience for each dog. I recommend without reservation.

When I say LeeAnna is the best, she is the best!! It is very difficult to trust new people but she was very inviting right away. She communicates and puts our mind at ease when on vacation. We never worry about our fur babies. We have a new puppy who was a little worried with a new place but hours after dropping her off, LeeAnna sent us a picture and she was already comfortable! King and Nova love it there and the care that she puts into taking care of them as if they are her own is very comforting!

We love LeeLee’s pet care! We adopted a young beagle who needed way more exercise and play than we were able to give. Scout goes to ‘daycare’ two days a week and has so much fun running around with the other dogs and getting all that young doggie energy out. LeeLee is so kind and conscientious making sure that Scout is safe and having fun. Her love of dogs is so evident in everything she does and says. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Highly recommend LeeAnna as a trusted dog boarder. It was my first time leaving my dog and she made me feel comfortable instantly, sent pictures and videos daily, and daily updates. I felt so at ease and will be using her again! My dog had the time of her life there as well!!

Leanna is great with the dogs. Since the moment you meet her and she meets your dog you can tell how caring she is. My dogs stayed overnight a couple of times, she kept me updated with pics and videos of how they were doing. Prices are reasonable and you get a discount for more than 1 dog. She's been available every time I needed to bring my dogs. She pays attention to any diet if needed and interaction with other dogs is per the size, only a low # of dogs at a time. I will recommend anytime, this is a person who treats animals like another family member not just animals for business. Her mom and children are also there and pet and love the dogs all the time. 5* 🐶

LeeLee’s is a definitely a home away from home for my pup! It is clear that LeeLee & her family are dedicated to providing a high level of care, attention & love to visiting pups in a safe & clean environment. There are play areas inside & out as well as plenty of toys & activities. I thought my dog Cree would need time to adjust to a new daycare but he was comfortable & happy from day one! I couldn’t ask for more! ❤️🐕‍🦺

Lee Lee is the best pet sitter around. Very responsive, respectful, easy to work with and someone you can trust. I adopted a new kitten and she helped do house visits while I was away. She not only took care of entertaining the kitten and making sure there was plenty of water, food and clean litter, but she also sent many daily pictures. She even offered to help check on my other animals like the fish and guinea pigs which was not originally an ask. Highly recommended!

As a dog owner, you can tell when your dog feels safe and loved. I trust LeeAnna completely and know that she takes great care of them because my two dogs always run up to her porch like it's their second home when I drop them off, and they look like they're right at home lounging in her living room when I pick them up before they realize I'm there.

LeeLee did a great job at taking care of my cat. She played with him, did his litter and checked to make sure he had enough food and water in his feeder. Another thing is, she got mail from the porch and mailbox if there was any. She was super helpful and was great with communication. The best part was LeeLee sent photos and videos of my cat to show me what he was doing. I am glad my mom found her service!!!

Leeanna and her family are absolutely wonderful. They treat my dog like their own and take such good care of her, including times when I’ve had to send her with special medicine or instructions. Leeanna is caring, compassionate, skilled, and a great communicator. This is the only place I want to send my dog when I’m going away, and I recommend everyone I know to bring their pets to Leeanna, too!

My Mia has been going to LeeAnna since she was about 5 months old. She is now a yr and loves it there. I receive updates throughout the day along with pictures of Mia playing and enjoying herself. Recently she stayed with LeeAnna for 4 days while we were on vacation. I knew she would be well taken care of and loved while she was there. I'm so happy that I have found her to care for my fur baby!!

Dogtopia of Elsmere is the best place to bring your dog for daycare, boarding, and grooming. My dog loves going to daycare while his parents are at work. He can play with his dog friends, get pets from the friendly staff, and enjoy the multiple theme days every month! You can tell the staff at Dogtopia really love their jobs and each and every dog. They maintain a safe and clean playroom. They plan multiple theme days and parties throughout the year that make every day at daycare memorable for pets and parents. My favorites include Valentine's Day treat exchange, Dog Prom, Back to school week, Halloween costume contest, and pictures with Santa! My dog and I love Dogtopia!

I took my puppy Cookie Monster here for the first time and everyone was great!! When I dropped her off at 9 they told me that she would be ready at noon and they would call me. I was called right at noon. She looked great when I picked her up. Diana did a fantastic job and did everything that we discussed at drop off... this is going to be my permanent groomer!! The office staff was great as well! Gemma was very friendly when I scheduled my appointment... Thank you for everything!!

My baby loves it here. Sooooo happy we found this place. The Staff are amazing and treat every dog with the utmost care and love ❤️

Wanted to love Dogtopia of Elsemere, but I don’t plan on bringing my dogs back there again. From the first full day my huskies stayed at Dogtopia, after the intro, I noticed that one of my huskies was crated for an hour at multiple times via their webcam. It’s important to me that my dogs aren’t crated for extended periods of time, otherwise I could simply crate them at home rather than pay someone else to crate them (and I expressed this on day one). When I asked the manager if there was any issue with my dog that was crated, I was told there was no issue. It wasn’t until I told her that I saw my dog crated for about an hour that she revealed that the “dog trainer” Maya was new and that my dog should not have been crated for longer than 30 mins. I’m not one for second and third chances, but I gave them another chance and noticed that when the manager was the dog trainer in the gym, my dog in question did not get crated for long periods of time multiple times. Yesterday was the 3rd full day my dogs stayed at Dogtopia and Maya once again crated my dog (the same one I referenced) multiple times over 30 mins. When I asked the staff member at the front desk if everything went ok, they responded yes there were no issues. I then pointed out that one of my dogs was crated multiple times and sincerely asked if he just isn’t a fit with the other dogs. That’s when the staff member finally said another dog wanted to mount my dog and my dog wasn’t interested so their solution was to rotate crating my dog and the aggressive dog. I don’t think that’s a fair solution. The aggressive dog should be crated not mine. To top this all off, my dog that was crated has had diarrhea all through the night. I brought the food they’ve been eating at home to Dogtopia for their lunch, but who knows what happened. My pup was also fine before his daycare visit. Apologies for this review being so long, but if you decide to use Dogtopia’s services I would monitor their webcam to see how your pets are being treated and ask questions because they aren’t transparent at all. I would also not leave my dog there while Maya is the trainer on call.(Btw learned their summer “dog trainer” staff is comprised of mostly college students). I should be able to trust the people I’m paying to leave my dogs with and I just don’t trust Dogtopia of Elsemere specifically and Dogtopia generally.

Rosco seemed to enjoy his first experience. We will have him go a couple times a month for socialization with other dogs. We loved watching him on the camera. He's not been with other pups very often.

Everyone is friendly and attentive. They know you and your dog when you arrive (usually before you even enter the front door!) The facility is clean. Mist importantly my dog is happy and exhausted at the end of the day!

We took our seven month old puppy for the first time to Dogtopia in Elsmere DE yesterday. I was very nervous and within minutes of watching the webcam was relieved and impressed. The caregivers are very attentive to all needs. We have booked our first boarding and are confident leaving our pup overnight. It’s too early to recommend overnight boarding, but definitely a daycare stay. Our pup enjoyed the day.

Everyone was very welcoming and you can tell they are all dog lovers. I really love the fact that they separate the dogs based on size or temperament. It shows they really pay attention to how the dogs interact with one another before placing them together. The camera access is the cherry on top to make me feel at ease to be able to check in with our two pups whenever I needed. Thank you!

My Golden Retriever, Isabelle, means the world to me. She is now almost seven years old. She passed the Canine Good Citizenship Test at 12 months, advanced therapy companion test at 14 months and AKC Community Canine Certification at 4 1/2. I am convinced that having such a well behaved dog, in large part has to do with Dogtopia of Elsmere. They are active, watched carefully, and exhausted when they get home. A tired dog is a good and happy dog, allowing them to learn the things that Isabelle has learned. The facilities are spotless and Christine, and Anita, know every dog, and more importantly, each personality. Isabelle had ACL surgery in January 2019, and still can’t attend full time. I took her last week for 1/2 day. Dogtopia stayed in touch during her absence to see how she was doing, and believe me that was one happy dog to return! She loves the people there (so do I) and cannot wait to get in. Your dog may not be able to speak words, but when he/she is treated well, they can’t hide the excitement of arriving at a fun place. Thanks to everyone at Dogtopia of Elsmere.

Beau, our Schnauzer mix rescue was in need of grooming. I don't think we could be more pleased. Friendly staff, expert grooming and convenient.
