Pet Sitters in Wycliff, DE

Virginia

Ginny and Ian went above and beyond in every way. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely loved them. They were kind, and communicative and sent me frequent updates. They left my house and car perfectly clean and tidy, my car is actually in better condition than when I left! All 5 of my free-range chickens are alive and my garden is watered. While we were out of town 2 of the horses from our stable escaped and Ginny and Ian rounded them up and put them back, then actually found the spot in the fenceline that was down and fixed it. They even mowed the lawn! In my wildest dreams, I never thought a housesitter could be this amazing. With a property like ours, it's very stressful to go on vacation, but they made my trip stress-free and enjoyable. They cared for everything on the homestead with the same care and attention that we do. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Kellysue & Nathaniel

I can’t say enough great things about KellySue and Nate! All my prior reviews capture the key themes but I should add that KellySue provides a written summary after each Sit with extremely detailed and helpful feedback about my two cats and any things household related.Without exception everything with the cats and the house is always better than I left it!!

Heather

Heather was awesome! Gave us regular updates and pics, and left the house much better off than when we left! An absolutely great house sitter.

Jackie

Jackie was great! She sent pictures and video as soon as she arrived, which was definitely not too soon! She and my boys seemed to enjoy each other, and she was great with communication. I would happily have her back.

Karin

Recommend!

Matthew

Matt stayed with my cats over the course of a long weekend and he sent many pictures of the cats and showed how much he liked them and how much they enjoyed him. The shower door to the guest basement broke during his stay and he let me know right away. House was left in good shape!

Sabrina

I felt at ease and like I could relax with my cuties in Sabrina's hands. She sent me daily updates as requested and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed the cats rather than just doing the basics. House was left cleaner than when I left.

Alan & Amy

It was a pleasure to have Alan in our house when we went away on holiday. He looked after our cats really well, in fact Eddie may have put a bit of weight on! Alan gave us regular updates about the cats and sent photos. When we arrived back the house was clean and tidy. We would highly recommend Alan as a housesitter.

Michael

Michael was a superb choice for our house and pets. He kept the house clean, kept us in the loop regarding what was happening in our building/apartment, and gave us regular updates on what our little furbabies were up to. We would definitely use his services again as he was very professional during the period leading up to the designated dates, and showed a lot of respect for our living space. 10/10 would have him again.

Andrea & David

Words cannot describe how lucky we were to get Andrea, David and Luca as our house sitters. During the house sit, our little dog Honey became very ill and was hospitalised numerous times. They handled this situation with so much compassion and generosity. We we’re uncontactable for a large proportion of time and as such they had to liaise with members of our family and also the vet directly. Everyone who came into contact with them said they had been just wonderful with Honey. There is no doubt the whole scenario was very stressful for them but they never complained. In the end, we had to cut our trip short to come home and be with Honey during her final days. This meant that they had to find alternative accommodation over Christmas. Again, there was no fuss or complaints just compassion. Aside from that they kept the house in excellent condition and looked after our other pets (chickens and a cat) very well. Luca is an adorable child by the way! I would thoroughly recommend Andrea, David and Luca for any house or pet sitting assignments. 200% happy. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any additional references for them. I would be more than happy to provide.

Regina

Regina was a wonderful house sitter! She was incredibly communicative and did a wonderful job taking care of our cats. We would absolutely work with her again!

Corinne

Corinne did a great job caring for our boys! They seemed very happy when we came home and the house was neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend.

Claudia

This sit did not involve staying at the host's home as Claudia had an automatic cat feeding device and it was a question of attending at the property (we live locally) and topping up the device.  Claudia gave us very full instructions on how to add cat food for the additional days and the visit went entirely according to plan.  We were able to say hello to Claudia's cat Ray which was nice.  Claudia was also prompt in responding to a query when we wanted to check that we had set the device correctly. We would be very happy to look after Ray again in the future and the sit is highly recommended, Richard and Sue

Arunima and Kunal

A 5-star sitting experience for sure!💝

Arunima and Kunal were perfect hosts - organised, friendly and hospitable. I really enjoyed our conversations throughout the sit. Their house is pretty cosy, warm and well-equipped. 

Luna and Thor were a bit shy at first, but then we quickly got to know each other~ And they were very friendly, surprisingly cute and adorable. There was a lot of fun seeing them eating😝

Arunima and Kunal, thanks so much for having me! Highly recommend this sit! ❤️

Millie

We had an amazing time at Millie's place taking care of Phoebe. She's a young and super curious little dog who loves spending time together. Communication with Millie was great, and we arrived at a super clean house. Millie always made sure we felt at home! We highly recommend this house-sitting experience, and we would come back!

Thank you so much for trusting us!

Robert

I had such a lovely week with Maisie! She was very well behaved, easy to look after and the house was lovely

Michelle

Michelle and Harry are organized hosts with a detailed welcome guide. Their home is beautiful and in a great location too! It was a literal joy to care for Kona over the holiday period. Highly recommend to other house-sitters as well! 😻

Patricia

I really enjoyed house sitting for Patricia and taking care of her wonderful cat......Sofia. The house is beautiful and also situated in a lovely forest. Patricia is great to work with, communicative and friendly. The town the house is located in is interesting and historic with lots of local shops/restaurants..... and also outdoors opportunities. Overall a great experience!!
