How it works?
Maureen
Providing Pet Sitting in the Hardscrabble, Delaware
Never cancelled a sit, all boosters, non-smoker, traveling solo
Maureen was a treat from start to finish with our home and cat, Poppy! She is perhaps one of the most organized sitters we have encountered on zeewoi. Her resume speaks for itself. She was eager to sit, despite it being a somewhat short notice (about 10 days). Upon arrival we received pictures of Poppy to let us know that she was in good hands. We also got daily updates in the evenings, which we enjoy. Maureen stayed at our home during the coldest stretch of the year, and came prepared with heating blankets, etc, which we appreciated as we only have space heaters currently. We would be happy to host Maureen any time. Her communication and experience are certainly top notch and your pet will be in great hands!
Debra
Providing Pet Sitting in the Hardscrabble, Delaware
Mature, responsible retiree would love to care for your home and fur babies.
This was Debra's second pet sit with us. You will not find anyone more capable and caring. She takes the time to get to know your pet and provide so she can provide customized care based on their personality and quirks. When she noticed that Maggie wasn't eating her food, she bought a different brand to see if that would help. (It did). I think one of the best signs of how a pet has been treated is how they feel when the sitter leaves. Maggie was actually a little blue for a day or so and I think that says a lot.
Peggy

Dog & Cat Lovers
Peggy and Dave were the ideal sitters for Sika and our house. We had loads of communication before and during the sit. They definitely walked Sika even more than we do and we know she absolutely loved it, they are very experienced dog people and it really showed. Pictures and videos arrived daily (even though we didn’t ask for them – we’re pretty relaxed about that). Actually some of the pictures are the best we’ve ever seen of Sika and we’ll put some of them up on our Zeewoi profile. Needless to say this gave us complete confidence that everything was under control and when we returned, Sika was happy and relaxed and the house was just as we left it. So many thanks to Peggy and Dave for helping us make our holiday relaxed and stress free. They are welcome back any time and have our unreserved recommendation for anyone needing a sitter.
Kelly
Providing Pet Sitting in the Hardscrabble, Delaware
The house is sold, things in storage, the car is packed, the adventure begins…
Kelly was very reliable and communicative. Cassie was so comfortable with her, always seemed to be smiling in pictures that were shared. Kelly even made dog treats for Cassie and she loves them!
Debra

Single retired animal lover.
Debra was kind, communicative, and attentive to Tommy & Ashes. Super grateful for her willingness to be their person and to tend to my home & plants in my absence. Definitely recommend!
Valerie
Providing Pet Sitting in the Hardscrabble, Delaware
This adventure just gets better and better!
We had Valerie back to watch Bolt and look after the house, and, per usual, she was fantastic! Great communication, super tidy, and really keeps Bolt calm. They seem to have a blast together. She's incredibly self sufficient, but communicative, thoughtful, and transparent. Would have her back anytime she's willing! Bolt would too ;)
Alex
Providing Pet Sitting in the Hardscrabble, Delaware
Active and Reliable Pet Sitter
Alex was the perfect dog sitter/ house sitter we could have asked for! She was very responsive, kept us updated on our dog while sending pics throughout the trip. She walked our dog often, played with her and cared for her. When we returned, we returned to a super clean house and a very happy dog. My husband and I would totally recommend Alex as a house/ dog sitter.
Sharon

Ms. Dr. Doolittle
Sharon took great care of our two dogs! She sent pictures and updates frequently. The house was kept neat and clean and all of the plants were taken care. 5 stars.
Olivia

Recent College Grads - One with Veterinary Experience & the other an Eagle Scout
Olivia and Joe are a delightful couple traveling the country between sits during a year before graduate school. They kept us well informed on our pets during their stays and both cats got plenty of attention. The house was immaculate on our return. We would definitely have them sit for us in the future if they could fit us into their busy schedules.

Responsible cat caretaker wants to spoil your kitties
Joyce was great company for Mandy while I wad away! She was communicative, checking in daily, and left my apartment clean and tidy. All around a great sitter - I have no complaints!
Reviews from Dog Owners
Jana
Eliza was my first sitter after signing up on zeewoi. I’m Soooo happy to have had her in my home watching over my dogs. They were very well taken care of and she did everything I asked her to do with the dogs meals and medication. Plus she took excellent care of my home and plants. If you are lucky enough to get Eliza to stay at your home, you will be so glad it was she who took care of things! Very happy 😃
Jackie
Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back
Kara
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
David
Diane and Les were excellent pet and house sitters. Jet was a very happy dog when we returned and Diane had shared many photos of their days together while we were away on holiday. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and some milk , bread and sweet treats had been left for us, which were very welcome after our 2 long flights home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diane and Les as sitters for your home and pets, everything was done to a high standard and Jet was happy in his usual environment , which is all we wished for. Many thanks to you both.
Leslie
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Melanie
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
Kathleen
Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie. She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get. She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps. Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with. I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.
Anne
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
Linda
Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly. We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house. Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues. We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs. Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.

Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

Stay 'N Play Doggy Daycare
Recent Reviews:
The BEST place to take your pup!! We had been looking for a doggy daycare to take our 7 month old pup and Mrs. Jo Ann is just the best! We did a meet and greet, she was very nice and the place was spotless. She takes great care of your dog as if it was her own and keeps you updated during the day, which as a first time dog parent taking your beloved baby some place new can be scary. My boy Jax absolutely loves going there. I would 100% recommend anyone looking for doggy daycare to contact Mrs. Jo Ann.
My father took our dog Gus (9 mos old Smooth Collie) to Stay N Play for a weekend overnight stay. My father was very impressed with the facility (very clean and lots of room to safely run and play). The owner/operator Jo Ann obviously cared for all the dogs under her care as if they were her own. My pup was obviously very well care for and seemed to have a wonderful time. We highly recommended Stay and Play for a daily visit or overnight stays!
We had such a wonderful experience taking our fur babies here! Jo Ann was so nice and amazing with our German Sheppard and Pomeranian. It was their first time away from home without us and Jo Ann made us feel so comfortable every step of the way. She sent lots of updates with pictures and videos. The set up of the daycare is very cool and the dogs loved it! We will be back :)!
Stay and Play Doggie Daycare is wonderful. My dog has attended regularly 2 days every week for the past 2 years to get exercise and keep him social by playing with the other dogs. He is a high energy dog but by the time he gets home, he is ready for some rest! Jo Ann matches him with other dogs his size and temperament, and he has made friends with other regulars. We also board him there when we travel, and I know I don't have to worry because he gets treated like one of her own dogs. She often sends me video and pictures throughout the day. Every week he gets so excited when he hears he is going to see Ms Jo Ann!
I had tried another doggy daycare who was not willing to work with my early work schedule, left the dogs in kennels most of the day, and was more expensive. Finding Stay and Play was perfect! It’s a great fit for my schedule and pup who doesn’t like to be crated. The dogs have the freedom to play all day or choose to take a break. I love the set up there and JoAnn has been nothing but professional! Definitely recommend Stay and Play!
My husband and I adopted a dog with extreme separation anxiety. He wants to go everywhere but doesn’t want to get out of the car. I called JoAnn, she was honest and straightforward with me and we arranged a meet n greet for 45 minutes later. Our dog jumped out of the car & went right to JoAnn. The daycare is clean & well maintained, very spacious and has a great play area outside. Our baby has been going here for just over a year. He is a very different dog because of his days at the daycare. I don’t think twice if we need to board him, I know he’s being taken care of just like at home. LOVE this daycare and the owners.
Stay 'N Play Doggy Daycare is a delight for both us and our Chesapeake Bay Retriever. We know that our pup is in great hands there and she is matched in personality and energy level with the other pups who are there for the day. We've gotten to know the dogs she is best friends with too. When we leave our house and drive down the road that takes us there, she starts barking and whining and wants us to go faster! And when we pick her up, she whines and looks back but eventually sinks down in the seat fast asleep. We highly recommend Stay 'N Play!!
Love, love, love Stay n Play!! Not only am I lucky enough to call JoAnn a friend but I always have a sense of security knowing my precious pups are in her care. This is a wonderful facility filled with love and joy. If you’re like me, leaving your pets can be stressful but JoAnn always treats them like they are one of her own.... so much so, that one of mine would probably rather stay with her😂
We moved to DE four years ago and searched for a doggie daycare and boarding service for our young dog. When we found Stay 'N Play it was an answer to our prayer. This business is immaculate and set up for safety and lots of fun for dogs. Jo matches dogs' personalities so they become buddies! This is our dog's home away from home because it's so obviously filled with love and caring!
Stay ‘N Play is a GREAT Doggie Daycare. I have been taking my GrandDog, a high energy Vizsla for a year, 2 to 3 times a week for exercise and socialization. He gets so excited when I tell him we are going to see his friends. JoAnn is Amazing with all the dogs and treats every dog as if it were her own. Stay ‘N Play is a Loving Doggie Daycare.

Sometimes I think my pups are more happy to see her than me. If your looking for a dog walker or pet sitter don't hesitate to call her. You won't be disappointed. She is a true professional and animal lover, who will treat your pets as her own!
Barb was incredibly attentive, responsive and dependable. We all felt her fondness for our precious puppy. We will absolutely hire her again - repeatedly.

We are a new client and Crystal most recently cared for our two golden retrievers overnight. She took amazing care of our dogs. All aspects from scheduling to payment were seamless and were coordinated with excellent communication. We also received incredible photos of our pups as well! Highly recommend and we will absolutely be using Pawsit Pet Services again! Thank you Crystal for taking us on as a new client!
Crystal is the best pet sitter we’ve ever worked with. She is trustworthy, and reliable. Whenever we are out of town we are sure our pets are in good hands. Crystal provides us with updates after each visit to help ease our minds. She also takes really beautiful professional pictures of our pets- which is a really nice touch. Crystal’s love of animals is apparent, and her professionalism is unmatched.
Crystal is soooo amazing We do not trust anybody else to watch our dog. It is so nice to go away and not have to worry one bit about our best friend. She is fantastic with him and sends pics and updates after every visit!!! Her prices are amazing as well. You cannot go wrong with Pawsit as your pet sitter, especially if you like not having to worry about your furry friend while you are away. I would give a million stars if i could.
Pawsit Pet Services (Crystal) has been caring for our 14 year old Lab for about 2 years & now is taking care of our 9 month old Golden puppy. We have zero complaints. Crystal is kind, thoughtful, responsible, and has grown to be a part of our family. Our dogs are insanely in-love with her! Her communication is outstanding and we would trust her with our lives. Thank you, Pawsit, for allowing us to work and go on vacations with peace of mind!
Crystal is the best pet sitter!! She is the only person I trust to take care of my dog! She is reliable, dependable, and really cares about your pet!! I highly recommend Crystal!! She has been taking care of my dog for years now!!
Crystal is our absolute favorite thing about moving to this area. We treat our dog like our family and so does she. She genuinely cares about his well being, understands that structure and consistency are everything with pets, and gives him plenty of love and attention when we are at work. Crystal really took the time to get to know our dog's personality and uses it to make sure he's happy, loved, and safe. I cannot say enough good things about her. I would recommend her to anyone who asked. She is super communicative, punctual, and genuinely caring. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We could never say enough amazing things about Crystal and how devoted she is to our pup. We found her right as we adopted our husky as new puppy and she has been able to be with him and watch him grow for the past two years now. Our pup loves her just as much as we do! Crystal always goes above and beyond to make sure that our dog, our home, our privacy, and our things are treated with care and respect. She has so many times stayed longer with our dog than necessary in the event that he had an accident, got sick, or something out of the ordinary happened. She is in CONSTANT communication with us and gives really excellent visual reports on how her time with your pet has gone. She even does little things like bringing in mail and sending us homemade treats (which our dog LOVES). She will treat your pet and your home like her own. We don't know what we would do without her!
Crystal takes extra time with my Great Dane and his guard dog instincts. She is patient while he warms up, and has him sitting in her lap by the end of every visit! She just knows animals. I never worry when we leave our boy with her. She’s professional, responsive, and flexible. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our boy!
Crystal was amazing! I knew my 2 cats were in good hands while we were away. She updated us after each visit and sent awesome pictures! I will definitely be using her services again in the future. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable petsitting in Harford county!
Crystal has been a true asset to our little guy. Simba is a 13 year old Jack Russel Chihuahua mix and needs a little extra attention when my wife and I are working long days. We are so happy with our experience and can't recommend Crystal enough!
Wanda's Pet Service
Recent Reviews:
I was excited for my experience with Wanda, but was quickly disappointed. The set up and cleanliness was amazing, but after a few hours I received a call to come pick up my dogs because of whining and drinking so much water, they wet the pen one time. This was the first time they stayed with someone they didn’t know. I was told to come get them because Wanda “didn’t have the time to deal with it.” I thought that an experienced vet tech would know the difference between a stressed out animal and one with behavioral issues. Please note this occurred on Christmas Eve. I would not recommend Wanda’s Pet Service to a friend, however, I would recommend Eastern Shore Pet Resort for their reliability and prices.
We stayed with family in Lewes, De. They are not particularly dog firendly so we needed a pet service. Our pup stayed at Wanda's and had a wonderful experience. We love the idea of an outdoor kennel and fenced in yard with lots of room for him to explore. We already have a reservation for this year! Thanks Wanda
Do not trust this woman. She takes a very large deposit and the rest of the money upon drop off. She will then call you a couple hours later to pick them up without a refund. Her response to my review does not make any sense. The aggression comment is completely false. She is a liar. I would not recommend her “business”.
I drive an hour any time I go away just to drop my dog off. I love her care and attention to detail!
Unreliable, bad business conduct
