Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
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 for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $60 per overnight watching in your home or $40 for a cat boarding, 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 for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I couldn’t be happier with the exceptional care my Dobermans received during their stay. As this was our first time ever boarding them, I was particularly impressed by how personal and friendly the staff was—everyone knew my two babies by name when I picked them up and had delightful stories to share about their time there. I really appreciated the regular updates and the ability to check in via the cameras while I was out of the country; it truly gave me peace of mind. The facility was immaculate, and it was clear that my dogs absolutely loved the pool. I highly recommend this place—10/10!
Lauderdale Pet Lodge is a happy place for my fur baby. She enjoys being there. Why did I choose them? They have an attendant in house 24 hours a day when most places leave the animals alone for several hours in the night time hours. The only recommendation I would have for the business is to open at 6 a. m. Not everyone starts work at 7-8 a.m. it would allow this if us who have to be at work ay 630 a m to use the day care services.
My boys and I LOVE Lauderdale Pet Lodge. Every time we pick them up they’re worn out from playing on the clean turf with new friends and usually wet from swimming in the awesome pool. Whether for daycare, boarding, or grooming, I know Nuggs and Tito are being spoiled by the amazing team and having fun with the friendly clients. This is the only place I leave my dogs because I know they take the best care of them here 🥰
We took our two pups Cuda and Otis in on Saturday just for daycare while we took our grandson to Zoo Miami. The booking process was easy, the staff followed through and listened to our concerns. They were accommodating for our needs and when we picked them up they were happy and in no distress. That night they both slept well! The staff is great and when we’re back in the area we will definitely use them again.
We have been so happy with the Ft. Lauderdale Pet lodge. Our dog has a great time, he gets plenty of attention and love from the staff. Highly recommend stopping by to check out the beautiful facility. You pet will love it!
DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE! In August, my dog came home with a severe rash under her arms. We thought it was a fluke, and tried them again this past weekend where my dog was BITTEN! There was no communication of the bite, so clearly there was no care there. They are dismissing our case, and not helping with any vet bills, and have not cared at ALL!
Best darn doggy place I've been to. My beautiful boy loves it and they love him. All the pets get screened for comparability. The pool was amazing to see. Hercules had never been in water until his first visit here. He has a blast in the water. The live web cams were great. They even give a report card on how your pet did. The staff made us both feel very welcomed and comfortable. He even got some ice cream. Pet safe of course. Fantastic for boarding and a day of just play. If 7 Starts was an option, this place would be my lifetime choice.
Our favorite doggy day care!! Also where we board our dogs if we go away. Incredible staff that gives endless love and cuddles to our pups. They also have a great groomer Christina and dog trainer Hannah that we’ve used and is incredible. We love this place!
Our first experience with Lauderdale Pet Lodge was amazing. Blue was well cared for and very happy when we picked him up! We already booked his next petcation!
Facility could use updating but the staff and trainers are excellent! Friendly, great communication, genuine & sincere in providing the best for the animals.
