Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

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
WFH researcher excited to provide quality care to your furry loved ones!

• 26 reviews
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

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.

Reviews From Pet sitter
I used to sit through Rover, but it always felt like a job. I had to accept sits I didn’t really want—like pets I wasn’t comfortable with or dates that didn’t work for me. If I said no, my rating would drop, and I’d lose future opportunities. It was stressful, and I started to lose my love for pet sitting.
Then I found Zeewoi. Here, I get to choose the pets I love, the dates that fit my schedule, and the places I want to explore. It’s not a job anymore—it’s a chance to spend time with animals I adore, and feel empowered to say no without fear. Zeewoi gave me back the joy of pet sitting.

I’m a writer who works remotely, but hotels and Airbnbs add up fast. Zeewoi lets me live in homes full-time while owners are away—not just caring for their pets, but keeping their house safe. Turns out, in a lot of states, leaving your house empty for more than 5 days can mess up your insurance.
It’s a trade that works. Owners avoid risks, and I get free places to write—like that month in a cabin where I finished my book with a snoozing Labrador at my feet. The pets keep me company, the house gives me space to focus, and nobody’s stressing about an empty home.

After retiring and losing our dog, my husband and I sold our house and started traveling full-time. We’re in our late 60s and can’t rush, so Zeewoi is perfect. We care for pets in exchange for free places to stay.
In 3 years, we’ve visited 46 states. We’ve stayed in homes, farms, and apartments, looking after dogs, cats, and even a llama. Owners get free pet care; we get to travel slowly and affordably. It’s meaningful—we help people (new parents, busy workers) and still feel connected to pets after losing ours.
No stress, no hotels. We’re healthier, happier, and forever grateful. Alaska and Hawaii, here we come!

Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Tracy
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
KATHLEEN
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
joby
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Elizabeth
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.

If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!

Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Steven
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Phyllis and Alan
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
Nancy
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.

I left my two Dobermans here for two weeks and I couldn’t be any happier. I was a nervous pet mama after not so great an experience with a different kennel, but they were very reassuring. They sent me pictures of the dogs playing outside and I could tell they were happy and well cared for, and that I didn’t need to worry about them. When I picked them up today they were perfectly healthy. I will definitely leave them here again any time I need to board them.
Absolutely wonderful people. They really care about each and every animal they care for. If you want the absolute best care for your four legged family member while you are away. This is the place!
Very friendly staff. Very reasonable prices. They got to know my pup snd seemed to enjoy her and her personality. I will be taking her back when they start grooming in the near future.
I am visiting from out of town and have my dog with me and needed to board her last minute. Although Mike didn't have kennels available at the time, he was super friendly and helpful.
We board our pups here and today was my first time dropping them off. My pups knew where they were at arriving. Awesome owner and such passion for a furry children. Was polite and getting all details and sharing details of her care she provides. I love the set up and locations it’s Puppy Heaven! Our pups are in the best care here and we won’t go any place else.
Great place for boarding your pet. The owner is super nice and friendly. Good communication and our pet was happier than usual when we picked him up. Highly recommended.
We had to go on an pre-planned extended holiday and found this wonderful kennel/pet resort to take care of our recently and unplanned rescued pup. Julia, the owner, must be a dog whisperer, and the care and attention she gave our sweet Gracie was just amazing. Gracie has had some trust and behavioral issues due to her history before she rescued us, so we were - and still are - over the moon happy on how well adjusted she is back at home with us. We’ve already let Julia know what our next holiday plans are so Gracie can stay at “Aunt Julia’s.” In addition to her own super clean environment and kennel run, Gracie’s toys were laundered before they were sent home with us. Further to that, because of the way the kennel is set up, Gracie got to “socialize” with other guests in a “safe environment” — eg within her own dog run. It is such a relief to know we left our sweet pup in trusted hands. Also need to include that throughout our time away, we kept in touch with Julia who answered all questions and kept us posted pretty much real time. You can tell that North Acres is a “calling”, vs a business. Needless to say, highly recommended!
The people that own this place are very caring and love the furbabies! When I picked up my babies, she told me that my Shepard wasn't going potty like he should have been and to watch him and take him to the doctor if he still is having issues at home. That's real care for everyone's babies!
Julia and Bob are wonderful with my 15yrs border collie / lab mix who is blind. She has been staying with them for 7 yrs now. They helped her come out of her she'll she was very abused before I rescued her. You couldn't find a better place to leave your fur kids! Jenitia
Love love love Bob and Julia!!! Wouldn't take my fur baby anywhere else!!! He is always so happy to go to see them 😁 …

We had our first visit yesterday, and my dogs absolutely loved it. The staff was so kind and welcoming. At drop off before I even left, the staff was already loving on my puppies. I felt comfortable leaving them in their care, and I was thankful for how well they were treated and taken care of. I really appreciated the staff taking the time to send me pictures of my dogs so that I could feel assured that they were doing well and having a fun time. One of the best parts was that since it is a kennel free facility, my dogs didn't seem to have any anxiety and completely wore themselves out by the end of the day. They fell asleep as soon as they jumped in the car and slept all through the night (which doesn't happen often!) My husband and I were both very pleased with how professional but also friendly and homey this business feels. I feel secure dropping my dogs off here knowing that they are in good hands and will get consistent love and care while at this facility ❤️
I am so grateful to have found lol dog resort! My pup's previous daycare had become very busy, and the larger group of dogs seemed to be stressing them out. I saw someone mention this place on Facebook and decided to switch. Not only has the stress disappeared, but they're also more excited than ever to go to daycare and always worn out when they get home. I love that the dogs are separated into smaller play groups and have a scheduled nap time as well. It's great to have the option to add on extra enrichment activities. The setup is so cozy, and I'm confident and happy knowing that my dogs are just as comfortable and loved here as they are at home!
First visit I became instantly smitten. Debbie and her staff are completely present with the dogs. Seeing the other dogs there they know they are safe and loved. Home away from home. With waaay more play time and naps. FYI Naps are very important. Darwin was super happy there & made instant friends. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 …
I was out of town when I got word that my brother had died in a car accident. Working with Debbie who was taking care of my Eugene made being away during that time easier. She sent me so many photos daily of how much fun he was having and was very easy to work with when I had to change the pick up date twice due to flight delays and the funeral. Forever grateful for her and her team. I know Eugene was having the time of his life while there.
From the bottom of my heart, I love this place! My Gracie was so settled & happy to be there. She came home with a skip to her! The environment was super clean, well attended & happy!! You could feel the calmity. I have taken both Gracie & Tyson to 3 other facilities & there’s no comparison. If you’re needing to kennel or do daycare for your babies…. This is the safe place!!❤️
I am so thankful we found Lots of Love for our dog Maple. This is the first place Maple has been comfortable & excited to go to thanks to her new best friend Debbie and this is the first place I’m comfortable leaving her at when we go out of town. ☺️ She gets so much love and is well taken care of. We get daily photos of Maple while she’s there which is so nice! I highly recommend Lots of Love!
Debbie and her team are great! They took care of my boy Aaron while I was out of town for a weekend and sent lots of updates. This was the first time in a while that I boarded him because of his bad kennel anxiety and being kennel free with 24/7 staff is amazing! He is going back this weekend for some more fun!
This was our first experience in boarding our puppy. It was easy to leave her knowing she was going to have a good stay. The free play space made it so nice. The staff play and live on the fur baby’s. It was nice to get updates and pics during her stay. We will definitely use the service again
Wow! Debbie and her team are awesome! Finding a place where my dogs are not confined to a kennel all day and given attention and love was extremely important. The facility is beautiful and lots of space for my pups to roam. Thanks Debbie for all you do!
We felt so blessed that we found Debbie and her business at Lots of Love. She offered a free day of daycare to acclimate our GSP, Jax. They really spend the time and effort to make sure your dog, as well as everyone else’s has the BEST experience. Needless to say, Jax received a TON of love (including a treat cone) and necessary exercise from Debbie and her staff. The facilities are clean, organized, and large enough for endless indoor and outdoor play. We will absolutely be continuing to utilize and trust this business with the care of our “good boy”.
