honeybee was a great sitter for our 3 animals. She communicated very well throughout the sit. Our flight home was delayed and she was great about being able to cover the extra days. Her connection to the animals was wonderful. We were less organized than intended on her arrival due to some unexpected work issues, and she was great about rolling with the changes (e.g. the closet doors were missing as the painter hadn't finished with them). She used public transport to get to Golden and then drove our car while here. She left a few items behind, and her attention to kitchen cleanliness could be better, but we would definitely have her sit our pets again if the opportunity arises.

Kelly was flawless, she was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. She was over communicating with pictures and updates. We were at total peace knowing Kelly was overseeing Leo and Bella. Kelly connected with our dogs perfectly. We loved how Kelly daily took our dogs for walks and even an extended hikes. She has our full and complete recommendation.

Leslie and Kyle set the bar for all other pet sitters! On the first morning of their stay my cat got out due to a faulty window in my apartment and they handled the situation so well. Leslie sent a text explaining what happened and that my cat had returned safely and she was so calm about the whole thing that it put me at ease for the rest of my trip. Kyle went above and beyond and not only fixed the window screen (he actually fixed two screens during their stay!) but also made sure the window was secure until maintenance could come and fix the issue. Their go with the flow attitude was amazing. I would 100% have them sit for me again! I can not recommend them enough. You would be lucky to have Leslie and Kyle as your sitters :)

I have nothing but great things to say about Jill! She’s a wonderful sitter and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her capable hands while I was out of the country. She was thorough in making sure she knew exactly what each pet needed, had excellent communication, and provided me with daily updates. I came home to a house that was even tidier and more organized than when I left and two very loved pets. I would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a kind, caring, consistent pet sitter. Thank you so much Jill!!!

Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.

Sharon was by far the best sitter I’ve ever had! From the very first time we connected, she was communicative and proactive with follow up. She asked great questions prior to her stay and I could tell she’s done this many times and that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes she cares for. Sharon went above and beyond to leave my house in ever better shape, cleaning and organizing. It was a dream to come home to! Thank you Sharon!

We've had many pet sitters over the years (this is our first time using this app) and Missy is the best sitter we've ever had for our dog and cats. Our pets, particularly our dog, adored her and was really sad to see her go. It is obvious she loves animals and immediately understood the pack dynamics and the pet personalities. She kept the house tidy, litter box clean, and the animals so well loved. Because she was traveling from far away, she stayed with us the night before our trip and the night we came back. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We would welcome her back to our house as a friend or a sitter anytime. Highly recommend!

Laura is incredible! For starters, she is a clear and considerate communicator who is reliable and trustworthy while setting up details for a sit in advance. From there... where do we start?! Laura (and her sister Stephanie, for a few days) took care of our cat & dog for a week-long sit. We were immediately at ease with both of them, and it was clear that they were excited to meet our pets and love them, and relaxed and comfortable in this role. They asked informed and curious questions about our pets, routines, and the surrounding area to set up a successful sit. When we departed, our dog hardly seemed to notice, because she was getting to know her new people! The snuggle-fest and hiking adventures that took place while we were gone resulted in happy pets who were calm and content. We received daily photos, which were heart warming, and assured us that dog hugs and cat exercise were taking place. Our dog is very affectionate, and Laura made sure that she received plenty of love while we were gone. Upon return, our home was spotless - tidy and clean (possibly cleaner than when we left, and we tried really hard!) We are games people, and Laura left us some of her favorite games to play (yay), and gifts for our pets, which were so fun to open when we got home. Everything was so thoughtful and kind. Laura is absolutely one of the top sitters we've ever had, and we are so grateful for her care. She went above and beyond basic home/pet care, and her compassion shines through in all of her communications and actions. She (and Stephanie) are welcome anytime, and we (Zora and Morris especially) hope they will come stay again!

I have had 4 pet sitters this year so far. And Liz was the best! She was wonderful with cats. She has an easy going manner and is very comfortable to be around. Very smart and she is a great communicator. She followed all directions and left the house spotless. I highly, highly, highly recommend her! I would have her again anytime!

5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith

Michelle and her staff at Dog Dayz are incredible! I originally looked into daycare options for Lola as a way for her to meet other dogs while working through some social anxiety, but none worked out until we met Michelle and Sarah. At only 10lbs Lola was nervous at first in a new environment surrounded by much larger dogs -- Michelle was optimistic about how daycare could benefit her and has continued to work with Lola week after week to get more comfortable in the pack! Lola has been going to Dog Dayz for 6 months now and loves it. She has even made a few friends! I appreciate knowing she has a safe place to interact with other dogs while I’m a work. The staff pay such close attention to her and always check in during the day with updates. We have had a great experience here and I can’t recommend it enough!
Michelle and all of the staff that work at Dog Dayz have been so amazing and patient with our dog Reese. Reese is reactive towards people but loves dogs so much and had done amazing at daycare where we used to live, but we were nervous to put him in a new day care environment after moving. I explained my situation to Michelle and she was so accommodating and accepting of him, letting him come in on a trial basis with close supervision to see how he would acclimate. Now he goes once or twice a week and he is obsessed with Dog Dayz! All of the staff have been wonderful with Reese and his behavior issues. It is so nice and comforting to know that he has a safe and accepting environment to play and socialize in. We love Dog Dayz!
I was nervous to take my rescue to a daycare but knowing they specialize in rescues and after my first meeting at Dog Dayz I knew he was in good hands! A neighbor recommended I reach out to Michelle and I could not be happier with how I’ve watched his confidence grow with other dogs and people. Before I even put my car in park in the parking lot he’s ready to jump out to see his friends. As a 2 year old his energy seems endless, but he’s always pooped when I pick him up. I’m so thankful to Michelle and her team at Dog Dayz for the positive changes I’ve seen in my pup.
We are new residences to the Wilmington area and we’re looking for a space for our dog Bogey to make new friends and have weekly social interactions with other dogs. We are so grateful we found DogDayz. It’s a big open facility with lots of different dogs and plenty of attentive and knowledgeable staff. Bogey absolutely loves going there. He gets so excited when we drop him off and doesn’t want to leave when we come to pick him up. It’s the highlight of his week and we love knowing he’s playing and getting exercise while we are at work.
Very friendly staff who clearly love dogs and are also nice to people! ...my dog goes twice a week and returns exhausted from playing. I like the gate system they have set up to ensure nobody darts out, I feel my dog is safe and the dogs are well supervised and cared for.
We love the competent and responsible staff at Dog Dayz! Been clients for over 10 years, now with our 2nd pup who loves the people and all her furry friends. She's always excited for another day at Dog Dayz and she's so tired at the end of the day that a cat can use her as a pillow!
The staff is what separates this place from all of the rest! They love our girls, and our fur kids certainly love them back! We are happy and blessed we found them!
I feel so blessed to have found Dog Dayz. The staff is unbelievable! They are true dog lovers, and sincerely care about your baby or babies. I contacted several services when I decided my active puppy needed to go to daycare two days a week. The only one that responded was Dog Dayz. Not only did the owner, Michelle, respond within an hour but it was on a Sunday afternoon. She was responsive and informative, and we immediately set up a meet and greet the following week. My Milkshake has been attending two days a week for almost two months now. I could not be happier. Michelle, Kimm, Cierra, and Dylan are amazing to work with. Cierra and Dylan have reached out to inform me of things I need to know about, and I appreciate that greatly. Milkshake gets beyond excited the second we grab his harness and leash and say “are you ready to go to school”. He cannot get out the door fast enough! When he comes home, he is a different dog. The energy he is able to release by playing with his friends has decreased his hyper activity and negative, destructive behavior. I feel less guilty because he has not been in a crate all day. It makes my evenings less stressful because he puts himself in his crate and sleeps for at least 2 to 3 hours while I cook dinner and do my evening routine. This is the best decision we could have ever made and money well spent! Once I can afford to increase his days, I will surely do so! Thank you Dog Dayz staff for your dedication, hard work, communication, professionalism and loving hearts. ❤️ I added a pic of Milkshake passed out after a day with his friends. I cannot say enough positive things about this Daycare. I highly recommend Dog Dayz. You will not be disappointed!
I have been entrusting my dogs to Dog Dayz since 2002 (almost since their opening). What an amazingly experienced and caring owner Michelle Latham is. She and her staff are incredibly knowledgable with regard to dog training, dog whispering and also in running a business. My dogs have always come home from their “dayz” there: better socialized, better behaved, and doggone tired (sorry, couldn’t help it). Dog Dayz was the first doggie daycare in the area and they are still the best!
Dog Dayz has been wonderful for our big, energetic 2 year-old puppy. She comes home completely worn out. The team is so sweet to her, and more than once, they’ve alerted us to her health concerns before we’ve noticed them ourselves. We’re so grateful for their attentiveness—they really love and care for your pets.

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.

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😊. …

I love this place! More importantly, my puppy loves this place (quite possibly more than home). They’re so great to my baby and to us. The facility is well staffed, clean and my puppy is safe and supervised. Can’t say enough good things! Be prepared for lots of sleep after daycare. JB is always wiped out from all of the fun!
People are everything and Dogtopia has the best. Everyone is so nice, qualified, knowledgeable and caring. Our Rita loves it there and we have no worries when we drop her off!
I would not recommend this doggie daycare anymore. My dog Finley had been going to this location for 14 years - back when Helen was the owner. I felt like she was taking care of my dog like her own. I saw the negative changes with the most recent ownership changes - much higher prices and the manager was not very friendly. Finley was under their care in May while I was on vacation. He was an older dog with cancer. He passed away while there. They took him to the emergency vet that I had requested while I traveled home. 3 days later I received an email from “Dogtopia of Fairfax” - not signed by a person - saying they were sorry of his passing and they had his belongings for me to pick up after I pay for his stay. They did refund the last day. I was in shock to see that a service related business would continue to charge when a dog has passed away. I went to pick up his things and pay what I owed - the manager said the Regional or District Manager is the person who made her charge it. I sent him 2 emails about it and had NO response from him!!! Terrible way to run a business. I then reached out to Dogtopia on Instagram to send them a DM because I couldn’t find any other way to contact them. A few weeks later they reached out, were very sorry about the situation - they then contacted the location and had them refund my money because I should not have been charged. Just be warned that this Dogtopia does not have the small home feel anymore.
Would never recommend Dogtopia anymore. They have gotten WAY too expensive for the service they provide. Staff is friendly enough, but they will put the bigger dogs in with the little dogs. And these bigger dogs are very hyper and playful around the little ones. My dogs also come back sick more often than not after boarding. Would not recommend.
Wonderful experience, building is secure and clean, staff is friendly and knowledgeable, all dogs are tested for temperament with other dogs and placed in room with dogs similar in size. There are food/snack options available for reasonable prices or bring your own food, they have a fridge and microwave to warm it up. The play rooms are frequently cleaned, supervised, and there are cameras to watch how your doggie is doing. Best of all is my dog (which has separation anxiety) had a blast and didn’t want to leave! Dogs get to have a play day, learn social skills, are safe and protected, provided nap time and meals in a clean safe environment. I feel safe leaving my dog here and knowing they will have fun. The outside play area has small dog pools, splash pads and other various things to do!
I would definitely recommend Dogtopia. My dogs love going there for daycare. The staff is friendly, caring and interactive with my dogs and they love them! I check in on them during the day on the cameras, and they are always having a good time and are tired out when they get home.
Oh wow! My dog hasn’t been this happy since he was a puppy! He didn’t want to come home with me today. Jess and her team already feel like a part of the family - they keep him busy playing all day, he is fed and so happy. Thank you Dogtopia in Wilmington, we are so lucky to have found you.
My dog loves this place! Every time I pull up he is excited to run through the door and see his friends. I am glad knowing my pup is in a safe well cared for environment. The staff are very friendly and you can tell they care deeply for the dogs and their wellbeing.
My dog loves coming to daycare! And whenever I have to board him, he always has the best time! And I love that they send updates and photos! The Wilmington team is the best and I won’t send my dog anywhere else! Best daycare ever!
Our dog, Maggie, has been going to Dogtopia a few days a week for the past two years. She has a great time and loves everyone that works there! It is really comforting to know that she is safe during the hours she is not at home with us!

Lindsay is absolutely AMAZING with our pups! Shes incredibley responsible, and truly loves our fur babies like her own! She comes with our highest recommendation!
We feel so comfortable having our dog with 302 Pets. Lindsey comes to let out our large puppy weekly. She has even been available on a weekend when our family is busy with sporting events! We are so lucky to have found a reliable service/person we trust with our four-legged family member! ❤️
Lindsay is wonderful!! So easy to talk to, very flexible for my varying needs, and most of all so good with my pup! My dog absolutely loves her. I would highly recommend her services for your pets!
Lindsay is phenomenal! She’s been an amazing caregiver to our pup for several years now. Walks, boarding - she always goes above and beyond and our dog loves her and so do we. I’m very very particular about who we trust with his care and I have all of the confidence in the world with Lindsay.
Lindsay is terrific! My dog loves being around her. She is caring and reliable. Her set up of the room where my dog slept was adorable. We are lucky to know Lindsay. Highly recommend her!
Lindsay took such good care of my dogs when I needed someone to watch them overnight last minute!! Her house has great accommodations, she communicated with us a lot and I felt totally comfortably with her watching our girls!
Lindsay has been walking our two dogs for nearly a year and has been fantastic! She walks them no matter the weather and always has a great attitude about it. She’s done drop ins for us if we are away for the day, which has been great because one of our dogs requires medication. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and a Must hire. Our dogs absolutely love her!
Lindsay is always super reliable and willing to help out when needed. She keeps me updated through photos and messages. She is super kind and trustworthy, my dog doesn’t like just anyone. Every time I say her name, his head perks up. Would absolutely recommend!
Lindsay was amazing with our two dogs who she boarded. She provided us updates and pictures during our 8 day trip which was very comforting and the dogs were obviously well cared for and had a great time in a great environment. She also visited our home to care for our cat during our time away and did a great job with that as well. I would strongly encourage anyone who needs assistance with their animal family members to consider Lindsay and 302 Pets!
Lindsay came to my house twice a day to feed & care for my 2 cats. She was very professional and sent pictures of my boys. I had used Rover previously and was very disappointed. Lindsay is very trustworthy and I will definitely use her services again.

Dogtopia of Elsmere is the best place to bring your dog for daycare, boarding, and grooming. My dog loves going to daycare while his parents are at work. He can play with his dog friends, get pets from the friendly staff, and enjoy the multiple theme days every month! You can tell the staff at Dogtopia really love their jobs and each and every dog. They maintain a safe and clean playroom. They plan multiple theme days and parties throughout the year that make every day at daycare memorable for pets and parents. My favorites include Valentine's Day treat exchange, Dog Prom, Back to school week, Halloween costume contest, and pictures with Santa! My dog and I love Dogtopia!
I took my puppy Cookie Monster here for the first time and everyone was great!! When I dropped her off at 9 they told me that she would be ready at noon and they would call me. I was called right at noon. She looked great when I picked her up. Diana did a fantastic job and did everything that we discussed at drop off... this is going to be my permanent groomer!! The office staff was great as well! Gemma was very friendly when I scheduled my appointment... Thank you for everything!!
My baby loves it here. Sooooo happy we found this place. The Staff are amazing and treat every dog with the utmost care and love ❤️
My dog really enjoyed his introduction day. He was worn out when he got home. Thank you, Dogtopia staff, for taking good care of my baby boy. Thank you for making a card for me for Mother's Day.
Wanted to love Dogtopia of Elsemere, but I don’t plan on bringing my dogs back there again. From the first full day my huskies stayed at Dogtopia, after the intro, I noticed that one of my huskies was crated for an hour at multiple times via their webcam. It’s important to me that my dogs aren’t crated for extended periods of time, otherwise I could simply crate them at home rather than pay someone else to crate them (and I expressed this on day one). When I asked the manager if there was any issue with my dog that was crated, I was told there was no issue. It wasn’t until I told her that I saw my dog crated for about an hour that she revealed that the “dog trainer” Maya was new and that my dog should not have been crated for longer than 30 mins. I’m not one for second and third chances, but I gave them another chance and noticed that when the manager was the dog trainer in the gym, my dog in question did not get crated for long periods of time multiple times. Yesterday was the 3rd full day my dogs stayed at Dogtopia and Maya once again crated my dog (the same one I referenced) multiple times over 30 mins. When I asked the staff member at the front desk if everything went ok, they responded yes there were no issues. I then pointed out that one of my dogs was crated multiple times and sincerely asked if he just isn’t a fit with the other dogs. That’s when the staff member finally said another dog wanted to mount my dog and my dog wasn’t interested so their solution was to rotate crating my dog and the aggressive dog. I don’t think that’s a fair solution. The aggressive dog should be crated not mine. To top this all off, my dog that was crated has had diarrhea all through the night. I brought the food they’ve been eating at home to Dogtopia for their lunch, but who knows what happened. My pup was also fine before his daycare visit. Apologies for this review being so long, but if you decide to use Dogtopia’s services I would monitor their webcam to see how your pets are being treated and ask questions because they aren’t transparent at all. I would also not leave my dog there while Maya is the trainer on call.(Btw learned their summer “dog trainer” staff is comprised of mostly college students). I should be able to trust the people I’m paying to leave my dogs with and I just don’t trust Dogtopia of Elsemere specifically and Dogtopia generally.
Rosco seemed to enjoy his first experience. We will have him go a couple times a month for socialization with other dogs. We loved watching him on the camera. He's not been with other pups very often.
I am so glad we decided to bring our pup to Dogtopia. Aside from our dog loving it, the facility is very clean and the employees are so friendly and helpful. Being able to access the webcams eased my mind the first few weeks when I wasn’t sure! 10/10 would recommend!
We took our seven month old puppy for the first time to Dogtopia in Elsmere DE yesterday. I was very nervous and within minutes of watching the webcam was relieved and impressed. The caregivers are very attentive to all needs. We have booked our first boarding and are confident leaving our pup overnight. It’s too early to recommend overnight boarding, but definitely a daycare stay. Our pup enjoyed the day.
Everyone is friendly and attentive. They know you and your dog when you arrive (usually before you even enter the front door!) The facility is clean. Mist importantly my dog is happy and exhausted at the end of the day!
Everyone was very welcoming and you can tell they are all dog lovers. I really love the fact that they separate the dogs based on size or temperament. It shows they really pay attention to how the dogs interact with one another before placing them together. The camera access is the cherry on top to make me feel at ease to be able to check in with our two pups whenever I needed. Thank you!

Terry Lynn is the most incredible and conscientious person who lovingly takes care of our cat. She takes the worry and anxiety away when we would travel. I feel completely comfortable and at ease knowing she is caring for our dear friend. She is reliable, dependable, flexible and always provides informative updates with her visits and sends terrific pics of our friend keeping her close in heart until we come home. I totally recommend Terry for you pet string needs we finally have peace and know our pet is in good hands and receiving the best care.
I have a very anxious, older dog, who is unable to be kenneled. With a family trip to Disney coming up, I needed to find an alternative to a traditional boarding facility. Terry has provided us with so much more than just that. She gave us comfort and peace of mind. We did weekly daycare visits leading up to our trip so that my dog could get to know Terry and get comfortable with her. This helped so much with her anxiety. When it came time for our trip I knew that my dog was in good hands and that she would feel comfortable and safe with Terry. Terry took care of her, like she was her own and sent me daily updates letting me know how she was doing, which I loved. I will definitely continue to use Terry’s services and recommend her to everyone!
We left our 4 year old hound pit bull mix cookie with Terry knowing she will be in good hands and we could relax during our vacay . Cookie walked eagerly towards Terry - whenever we drop her off so we know she’s happy there with someone who truly cares .
I’ve trusted Terry for over 8 years! She is amazing and does great handling my dogs with special needs. She loves them like her own and is so accommodating and flexible. We would be lost without her. Thank you Terry!!!
Terry Lynn is very much dedicated and devoted to caring for pets - her own and yours! She scheduled a meet and greet with us for all 3 of our dogs, providing a sense of relief in leaving them overnight. She has soothing music playing at all times and easy access to the secured yard. Terry Lynn was kind enough to send us pictures and reassurance throughout the pups' entire stay. She is kind, professional, and a genuine animal lover. Her prices are extremely reasonable and she provides superb care to your fur babies, even insulin administration. We highly recommend her services. Thank you, Terry Lynn!
Terry Lynn’s critters is our dog Harper’s favorite place to be! Harper has been going to Terry’s since she was a puppy and we have had nothing but a wonderful experience. Terry is incredibly accommodating to our work schedules as my fiancé and I both work in healthcare. She loves all the dogs at daycare as her own and we are so thankful to have Terry love our Harper.
Terry took care of my 3 cats while I was out of the country for 10 days. She sent me photos, in and of itself a feat because I never expected them to come out, and communicated with me frequently. She had to have a medical procedure during this time and still made sure my cats were taken care of. I highly recommend.
Terry is a fabulous, caring pet-sitter. Our dogs, Ollie and Ellie, and kitty, Tommy, love her and she treats them like family! She did at-home visits while we were away sending texts and pictures frequently. Our kitty needs medication administered twice a day and she had no problem doing that for us. She brought in the mail and even refilled my bird feeders when they were empty. She goes above and beyond. It is such a great feeling to be able to get away on vacation knowing your pets and home are well cared for. I highly recommend Terry.
Terry is the absolute best pet sitter I’ve ever found, and truly the only non blood relative i’ve ever totaly trusted to take care of my sweet, adorable and very challenging rescue bichon, Spencer. Spencer came to me as a last-chance foster off death-row, after burning his way through shelters and foster homes. He suffered from the most intense separation anxiety- a vet even suggested putting him down at one point, to end his suffering! He came a long way with training and a behavior consult, but he never was able to shake his separation anxiety…. enter Terry. This woman made it possible for me to attend law school and work, and Spencer actually enjoyed week long stays while I vacationed out of the country. I’ve moved out of the area, but have yet to find any one as sweet, kind, caring, responsible, trustworthy and knowledgeable as Terry! your fur babies will thank you.
My family has relied on Terry Lynn’s for over 10 years for cage- free dog boarding and home visits for our cats. She is caring, reliable, honest, responsive and an expert in taking care of animals large and small. She makes every effort to accommodate her clients while always having her furry guests’ best interests in mind. I can always count on Terry, and trust her judgement, as we have been through a lot together through the many years and our many pets!

Jack and his associate did a fantastic job looking in on my cat while I was away for a week. She is used to my almost constant presence, so it is hard for her when I am not there. But, she adapted to Jack and Michelle very well, which helped her to be less anxious. They are consummate professionals, and I would recommend them to anyone. This is my second experience with their great service, and I will be back!
My wife and I have a cat who, while adorable, is rambunctious to say the least. He's friendly around people but is picky about play and how he is petted. And I would certainly hate to leave him alone! But Jack, Michelle, and Asher take such great care of him that I've been coming back ever since we first tried out Your Pet's Best Friend while we went on a vacation. I particularly appreciate the communication I receive--daily texts, videos, and questions about what to do in certain scenarios tell me that my little furry guy is being taken care of each day he is visited. I also really enjoy that during the warmer months, Jack will water plants. Thanks to him we had some very successful tomato yields! I also appreciate that traditional peak times--Thanksgiving/Christmas/etc--are not a problem for checking up. Last minute availability is also not a problem; I've given Jack sometimes as little as 24 hours notice and he's been able to accommodate watching our cat. Jack was exceedingly professional at our first meeting, and he asks all the questions you would hope that someone watching your pet would ask. You can't go wrong if you need a sitter for the day, for a weekend, or even for a month (all lengths of time I've used him for). I highly recommend if you're looking for someone to care for your furry friends.
I have been using Jack for midday visits to my home since January of 2018. I remember when he came over for the first time to meet me and my animals. I was interviewing a few different people, and Jack was the one that exuded confidence and professionalism. I felt like I could trust him with my two rambunctious pit bulls, which required a higher degree of responsibility. The choice was pretty easy. Not only does he provide great care to the resident dogs, he is always accommodating to the many senior foster dogs that I have had over the years. He texts me after every visit, and his narratives are detailed and frequently humorous. He is proactive about holidays and asks if he is needed or not, and always gives plenty of notice for his vacations. I have no reservations about recommending Jack for pet care needs.
Your Pet’s Best Friend has been walking my dogs on workdays since 2016. I’m so happy with their services - always friendly and reliable. And most importantly - My dogs love them! The communication from Jack and his team is great - I get an update after every walk about how it went. I don’t hesitate to recommend Jack to my friends and neighbors when they ask if I k ow anyone who does pet sitting/walking.
Jack, Asher, and Mary Michelle are truly my Pets’ best friends! Twice a day, seven days a week I can count on them to arrive on time and take care of the needs of my dog and two cats. Parker loves his walks almost as much as he loves his walkers, and I always receive a report on how the walk went. If you are looking for professional, reliable and responsive partners in the care of your pets, I highly recommend this service.
I should be embarrassed to admit this, but since I don't have children, it's fair to say I treat my dogs as if they were my kids. Jack has been there for all our dog walking and pet-sitting needs. If I'm working late, it's comforting knowing our pups are getting a walk and fresh air during the day. Jack's fantastic and has always been flexible if we need a sitter for the day or overnight. Jack's affordable, quick to respond (even when I have a last-minute request), and he takes his work seriously. You can tell his love of animals is genuine and he provides little notes and updates on our pups (who took care of business, where they went) and is reliable and trustworthy. My dogs love him! And they love only the best people (actually, they love everyone and Jack is no exception).
Jack is amazing. I have a rescue cat who does not do well when I leave him for extended periods of time. Jack was SO patient and caring with my cat while I was gone. Jack takes his job seriously and would send me a daily update every morning which eased my anxiety for leaving my cat so long. Cannot say enough good things about Jack and I would highly recommend!
Jack and his son Asher took wonderful care of our dogs. Will definitely use their services again.
Jack has an excellent rapport with both pets and their owners. I will call him every time I have a pet care need.
Great sitters! They watched my cats and kept them happy for a bit while I was away. Would ask for their help again!

As a very particular pet owner, I can tell you Heather is OUTSTANDING in her care for pets!! I think my Tervuren gets better care/walks from her Nanny than from me!! And as a neighbor, I see the care she takes of her overnight guests. Heather is kind, conscientious, diligent and caring. If she has a spot for your pet, take it! You will be very happy too!
Heather is the best!!! We went away for a family vacation and she came over 4x a day, she fed , walked and played with our crew of cats and dogs. She also took our one dog to his daycare. We got emails and pictures of everything that was going on during each visit. I can't say enough about how at ease we were, knowing that our fur babies were in her hands. She got to know each one of them and knew their likes and dislikes. If you are going away and need someone to watch over your "crew" ( that's what she called them) Heather is the one to call.
