Olivia and Otis Pet Sitting

Olivia and Otis Pet Sitting offers in-home dog boarding and daycare in Wilmington, Delaware, hosting dogs in a private home rather than a kennel building. Boarding is cage-free and capped at six dogs at a time.

Services

• Cage-free, in-home boarding for up to six dogs
• Daycare, available seven days a week
• Dog walks and drop-in visits
• Medication administration during a stay
• Care for cats, birds, rabbits, and reptiles

What makes it different

The small scale is the main thing. Six dogs is closer to a household than a facility, and someone is on site around the clock, so dogs have human company overnight. Outdoor time happens in a backyard enclosed by a six-foot privacy fence.

Every booking starts with a meet-and-greet, so temperament gets looked at before a dog joins the group. Medication can be given as part of a stay, which matters for dogs on a daily schedule.

Who it fits

The small-group format suits dogs that get overwhelmed in large daycare rooms, and owners who would rather their dog spend the night in a house than a run. Sizes from small through giant are accepted, and puppies are taken case by case. Multi-pet households can arrange care for cats, birds, rabbits, and reptiles through the same sitter.

Practical details

Drop-off and pickup run from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM, every day of the week. Boarding is listed at $35 to $45 per night. Proof of current vaccinations is required before a stay. The business is licensed, insured, and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates. Booking questions go to 302-547-0269 or olivia@oopetsitting.com, and the site is oopetsitting.com.
