Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Nia is a wonderful sitter - punctual, considerate, caring, and tidy, and also a lovely person, who I enjoyed spending time with before and after the sit. While I was away Nia sent photos and videos of my cats Tommy and Arthur every day, with witty updates and observations on their personalities and behaviours, and it was obvious that they adored her. Arthur has a mild neurological problem, so it was particularly reassuring to know that Nia feels especially connected to animals with specific physical or emotional needs, and knowing this contributed hugely to my peace of mind while I was away. I have no hesitation in recommending Nia as a sitter.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $10/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I have had the most amazing experience with Debbie and the team at Paws and Claws. Finding myself in a very difficult spot and needing boarding for my four cats at very short notice they were able to work with me and accommodate. My life was up in the air and I was desperate to do all I could to keep my fur family together during this difficult period. To say the team there were guardian angels would be an understatement. They went above and beyond to take care of, help and support me and the cats during their stay, what they did to ensure that I was reunited with the cats… was priceless. They are all now with me in the UK, all together again, in no small part thanks to the love and kindness of this team. I am forever grateful!
We went out of town and had to board our boxer. Years ago we boarded her and I won’t mention the kennel, but when we returned she was very sick and it took 6 weeks, with vet bills, to get her back on track. Since then we have always taken her with us on vacation. However, this short get away we did not. I chose Paws and Claws this time to board her. For the “Meet and Greet” I got a full tour with Nala of the facility and a run down of their schedules. The owners even came out to meet me AND Nala. The staff was amazing as well. I got pictures and updates sent daily to my phone. Nala is very attached and not use to other dogs or people but she absolutely warmed up to everyone and we could tell she was content and happy. Their facility even made special accommodations for her. No extra fees for additional potty breaks or play time (she was let out I believe a total of 7x a day). No cages, a large warm kennel with privacy curtains, including a nice long outside run and a huge fenced in play yard. The prices were excellent but it was the people that sold me. Even with the pick up I was greeted again by staff and the owners. You can tell they adore animals and they truly care about your animal having a comfortable transition. Everyone knows how I am over our “special” little girl and I felt good knowing she was with good people. After researching, I found that they exceeded all expectations over any other kennels in our locality. It’s comforting and convenient to have a business like this in Amherst County!
Was my and my little pups first time going to a boarding and i’m no longer nervous because we found Paws and Claws! Definitely bring your babies, this business deserves all the 5 ⭐️
Phil and Debbie are wonderful people and always baby my big, spoiled hound dog! They have a great set up for the dogs so that they have both personal space and outside space to run around and play. They keep cats as well. Your pets will be well cared for at Paws and Claws!
Paws and Claws is the very best home for our pets. I call it a home because this facility is unlike any other kennel I've been too. They are loving, concern for the pet as well as the owners feelings, they give the pets their own sleeping space and a nice run space which they run the animals several times each day. You can't go wrong leaving your pets at Paws and Claws also very affordable. Thank you Paws and Claws for the piece of mind on our vacation.
Our two dogs have stayed there twice now. They seem right at home in their surroundings. Love the access to the outdoor play area. Everyone who works there is caring and it shows when we drop off and pickup our happy pets.
Paws and Claws is like a summer camp or resort for your pets! This was our first time boarding our dogs there. I was so happy I found them. It is a family owned farm and boarding facility (dogs,cats,birds etc). They are the nicest people and very knowledgeable and experienced. The facility is clean and very organized. I am very particular about where I board my dogs. This gave me the peace of mind I needed to be able to go away and enjoy my vacation.They have all the amenities your pet will love and even play soothing music and essential oils at night. They send you a video of your pet playing outside in the huge fenced area every day. They request that you come for a visit with your pet on a day prior to boarding and let your pet explore and get all the info about your pet.Please check out the pawsandclaws website.It is in Amherst Va which is about 30 minutes away for me but worth the drive. Please check them out. You and your fur babies will love them!
We love taking our Great Dane and Golden Doodle to Paws and Claws. The dogs are well cared for and loved on as if they were at home. The facility is top notch and you won't find a better staff anywhere.
Debbie and Phil were absolutely wonderful! It was our first time boarding our dog Lincoln for a long period and we boarded him for 11 nights at Paws and Claws while we went on vacation. We were nervous boarding him for the first time for so many nights, but thanks to Debbie and Phil and their wonderful care, he was right at home!! They cared for our fur baby like he was theirs! He had such a blast playing frisbee, had tons of outdoor time, and received lots of love! He already misses staying with Debbie and Phil at Paws and Claws! During our vacation, I received great updates and photos from Debbie! Thanks so much Debbie and Phil! We can’t wait to board with you again! Thanks from Luke, Bridgette, & Lincoln!
This was our first time using Paws n Claws for boarding our dog and I will say that we are extremely happy with Debbie and staff! She is super friendly, prompt responses, and most importantly great with our dog! Super flexible and affordable, but knowing that our fur baby was in good hands is priceless! We will definitely be using her again in the future for our doggie babysitting needs!
Jenn of Paw Keepers is my one and only go to pet caregiver in NOVA since 2020. Very lucky and grateful to find her services. To be able to trust someone, to come your home and not just provide essential care to your animals but real attention and affection. You can be assured your animals are safe and loved and your property respected. Jenn loves what she does and it shows in her attention and communication.
Jennifer has been taking care of our pets for several years - we absolutely love her!!! Initially she came in daily to check on our cat when we were out of town, we boarded our dog. Our dog is now a senior and doesn't do well outside the home. Jennifer stays overnite in our home when we're away. Our babies love her. She takes care of their every need, she also brings in our mail. The house is immaculate when we get back. Most importantly she truly loves and plays with the pets.
I 100% would recommend using Jennifer and Paw Keepers! Jennifer is amazing! She’s incredible with animals, very professional, reliable, and will work with you to ensure your pets’ needs are met. Whenever we would boarding our dogs at a kennel, they would come home incredibly anxious and sometimes ill. The boarding situation was panic-inducing for all of us. We decided to try Paw Keepers even though we were nervous that our two Aussies can be a bit hesitant around new people. No need to worry! Jennifer is so skilled and I think our dogs could sense that. They loved her immediately! I honestly have never seen them warm up to anyone so quickly! ( My cats loves her too!) Every time we use Paw Keepers we come home to happy and calm pets. It’s also great knowing someone is checking on the house while we are away. Jennifer will rotate lights on in the house, bring in the mail, and take up trash/garbage cans. She sends great updates of what the pets are up to and leaves a visit summary sheet with notes about the visits. And she gave my blind dog her eye drops without worry or additional fee like some kennels. I am so glad we decided to try Paw Keepers and will never go back to a kennel. Definitely give Paw Keepers a try! You, and your pets, will be so happy that you did!!!!!
It's never easy to go out of town and having to leave our fur babies. But Jennifer was wonderful. She spent great quality time with our kitties, put extra bird seed in our feeder out front, wiped down high touch surface areas, and sent a detailed daily update. Communication was fantastic. Even one of our kitt7es that is very shy around strangers allowed Jennifer to pet him. She is so good with our cats. We will definitely use Paw Keepers again and we highly recommend her services.
Our family has had a wonderful relationship with Jennifer owner of Paw Keepers that spans 15 years! She has taken care of my dogs with love and care while staying in our home. I never worry while away as I know our boys are happy. Communication is key with Jennifer. Keeping in touch with some adorable pictures of our boys or a quick cell call to catch me up on “ a day in the life of Theo and Vance”! Aside for dog sitting, Jennifer left our home in fabulous condition. The bed was changed, kitchen spotless and she took great care of of my plants and flowers. I also want to share a very personal story regarding the care Jennifer gives. My dad passed away in 2008 and Jennifer played a significant role in his care. He lived with us and while I was at work she provided elder care making his lunch and providing conversation that was so meaningful. My family and I are so grateful to have Jennifer in our lives, not only for our dogs but for us. Finding a caring, trustworthy and honorable business person is not easy. Should you need her services you will have an opportunity to work with a wonderful woman who truly has made a difference in our lives. I would never put my boys in a kennel as long as I can have Jennifer stay with them in their home.
As a life-long pet parent, I’ve been utilizing pet sitting services for nearly 30 years. My experiences have varied significantly from bad to ok. And then I found Paw Keepers! A neighbor recommended Jennifer in 2017. She’s been taking care of my pets professionally and lovingly ever since. She’s does midday walks for both of my dogs. She’s also done house sitting for my dogs and three cats, two of whom required twice daily insulin injections. It was such a relief to be able to leave my house knowing they would all be well cared for and happy when I got home. If you are looking for a reliable pet professional who will love your pet nearly as much as you do, I encourage you to reach out to Paw Keepers.
Jenn did an OUTSTANDING job taking care of our kitties. It was our first time ever leaving them alone and we were worried, especially because one of my kitties likes to pee where he shouldn’t. However, I am so happy that I had found paw keepers for our future vacays! Jenn went above and beyond, she came and introduced herself before we left, asked questions and had amazing communication skills. My kitties showed her so much affections which gets to show they trusted her!! If you are looking for a good companion for your pet Don’t hesitate and contact Jenn!
We simply cannot say enough great things about Jennifer and her Paw Keepers Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Service. Jennifer took our lab-baby Bella on her daily walks for about 3 1/2 years until we recently lost her. Bella looked forward to her time with Jennifer as she was treated like royalty each and every day. Our minds were always at complete ease knowing that Jennifer was there for Bella. Each day we received a detailed description of the visit, and if anything seemed “out of the ordinary” Jennifer never hesitated to contact us to let us know. We also have 2 cats that Jennifer always ensure they received attention. Jennifer is simply the sweetest trustworthy person we know.
Jennifer is amazing! She genuinely cares for the well-being and safety of your pets, and she is so great with them, Jennifer is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and you can tell by the care she takes with your pets! I would highly recommend Paw Keepers Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Service. It is such a relief knowing that my pets are being taken care of so well!
Jennifer is an awesome dog walker. She’s taken care of our pet for almost four years. Her attention to detail, professionalism and genuine care for our pet is unmatched. We’ve taken advantage of her services for both daily walks and overnight care during our trips out of town. We count on her to treat our pet as well (if not better) than we do. She’s an absolute treasure and we offer our strongest endorsement of her services!
The best boarding and days facility around. They take great care of your pets. Definitely recommended.
Awesome place. Always happy with our experiences here. Our pups enjoy their time there.
Lake Gaston Dog Boarding came highly recommended by a neighbor and on facebook. We had to leave town for a business trip. We have used another boarding kennel in the past. They were expensive and just OK also they would not let our dogs …
They watched willow there's while we went visiting no complaints pics where great too.thankyou
Can't find people who care more for your furbabies! They love from The heart! Our baby has separation anxiety and they melt his heart with kindness! Love them all!!!
Our first time boarding EVER! We were so nervous and unsure about leaving the babies. My doodles REALLY loved Lake Gaston Dog Boarding! The staff was really great at communication, providing photos, and asked a lot of questions regarding …
Great place to take your pups for daycare or overnight. They took excellent care of ours and they come home tired! Highly recommend!
Love the care and the exercise that my silver lab gets. They love him like their own.
I loved how everything was set up to cater to ANY fur baby. The staff there were the best. We took two babies there for a weekend. They were looking happy an playing. No signs of trauma or abuse. An you know as a fur parent. You can just …
A few years ago we boarded our dog here during an emergency. When we got her back she was obviously ready to go home but was in good shape/health. The employees were very nice and took her on relatively short notice. She's not friendly with other dogs and they said they would keep her segregated from the other dogs. Was impressed.
