Jinnie took great care of our cat Suki and they became firm friends during her stay. Jinnie was communicative and organised prior to the visit which helped. She was friendly and we had some lovely chats when we returned home.

Let go of worry. I'll do the pet sitting :)
Chemda was so great and my cat Ginger just adored her. My cat was so happy. And my home was in perfect condition. What a lovely person

Loving, adventurous professionals seek amazing pets to cuddle
Erin is an amazing pet sitter. This is her second time to sit with Gracie, which made the hand-off go smoothly. She sent me frequent mini-video updates and asked great questions about minor health issues. I could tell how much Gracie loved her by watching the two of them say their farewells. Erin will always be my first choice when traveling if she is available to return!

Joyful, well-employed, traveler in the “best half” of life!
Lisa was a total rockstar, taking over for the last leg of our multi-month sitter extravaganza. She was super organized, showered the pets with love, and left the house looking better than it did when we first moved in. Highly recommend, and would love to have her back any time. Thanks Lisa!

Jennifer was amazing! She is very kind and easy to communicate with - and obviously a great presence with animals. She left my home in better shape than she found it! Not only did she send me funny regular updates about Patches and keep the place impeccably tidy, but helped me stay on top of some issues that cropped up. Plus, she left Patches with some great new toys! Definitely recommend Jennifer!

Paul was friendly and kind and we were lucky to have him spend the weekend with Peanut! He arrived prior to us leaving so that we could show him around and introduce him to Peanut. He had read through all of our care instructions and it was clear he takes great pride in caring for pets and doing what is best for them. We’d love to have him back!

It was a pleasure to have Avery as a house sitter. We got pictures and updates daily, the house was clean and tidy on our return, she had fun with our neighbors, and Sunny got plenty of exercise and attention. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Fiona took excellent care of all four of our animals. She sent us pictures regularly and was communicative with us both before the sit and throughout the week that she house sat for us. The house was very clean when we got back and all the animals were happy. I highly recommend Fiona.

Susan and Peter were wonderful house and pet sitters! They walked our 3 dogs and played with them in our fenced yard. They kept my garden and house plants watered and they left the house spotless. We were in communication the whole week and they sent pictures of our dogs daily. We couldn’t be happier with the care they gave our dogs! Susan even bathed all 3 the day we were returning! We highly recommend Susan and Peter.
Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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.
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!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
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!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.

I want to thank CountrySide Kennel for all they did for my family when we had a medical emergency. Their kindness was unprecedented, as they took in our four dogs (one a puppy) and our cat at the last minute. They were so helpful and understanding and went way above and beyond to accommodate us. They kept us updated on my pets welfare. They were so compassionate with our situation and took AMAZING care of my pets. I highly recommend CountrySide Kennel, the kennel was immaculate and the dogs extremely well cared for!! 5 + stars
Nick and everyone else at CountrySide were great. My dog Rocky had his own large area and got a ton of outdoor time and personal attention from the staff, I know he will be excited the next time he gets dropped off. He even got a free bath because of the length of his stay. Their prices are great and I will definitely go to them from now on
Oscar had such a great time at Countryside. They were very accommodating with diet and grooming. They recognized that he has a ritchy rear end and what doggie doesn’t? He had a bath and a nail trim with Dremel and he looks so handsome. I really can’t recommend this boarding/daycare highly enough. Nick and Deborah truly love four legged furry friends and it shows.
Our boy Maxx stayed for 6 days. The staff is excellent and the cost is affordable. If the need arises again, they will be our first choice for boarding. He got a bath while there too.
First time leaving my girls, I was a bit nervous. But they all seemed to have done well. Everyone working there is extremely nice, when I pulled in there was someone in the yard playing ball with one of the boarders. Would definitely recommend and will use them again!
This is a nice facility out in the country (hence the name). Prior to leaving our dog here I went and took a tour. The owner, Nick, seemed very knowledgeable and has invested in quality kennels. He seems to give each dog a lot of personal attention. I was anxious about leaving our 2 year old German Shepherd, but when we picked up he seemed happy and was in great shape.
Friendly & accommodating nice facility. Our dogs have no problem being kenneled at Countryside & we love knowing they are well cared for
I have a 6 year old, high energy, high anxiety Australian shepherd so I'm often worried where I board her at. Countryside boarding was amazing! I trusted them with my baby, got regular picture updates, and she even got a complimentary bath at the end of her week stay. They were very accommodating with all of my dogs quirks and anxiety triggers. I really felt the owner and team were compassionate and cared a lot about the wellbeing of the animals and weren't just looking to make money doing the bare minimum like some boarding facilities. The facility was very very clean and they allowed tours of the whole place before hand. They are just starting out and there isn't many reviews but don't let that deter you, I can't recommend them enough!
Countryside watches over our little old (14) lady with care and compassion. We have total confidence in their care when we need to leave her
Great kennel. They took really good care of my two dogs while I was away for Thanksgiving. The people were so nice and you could just tell they care for the animals.
My little puppies love it here!! They have been to Little Ponderosa the past 3 days, the past two days, they run to the front door! They do tours on Monday/Tuesday too! My favorite part of the day now is getting pictures of my little babies playing 😍 …
They are extremely pet oriented here. Our dogs love going here and the prices are reasonable for what you get. Oh, and our dogs have their first album coming out soon!
We have boarded our Bongo at Little Ponderosa for several nights, as well as taken him for Doggie Daycare on a few occasions. Bongo has gotten his nails trimmed there twice as well. He is so excited to see his human and dog friends there. I love the messages and pictures the staff sends us to let us know our pup is doing fine and having fun. Great staff and clean facility!
Could not have any better place for our Brandi to visit. Perfect for all of your pets needs. Boarding, Daycare and not to mention Annette's training! Brandi also loves her baths and nail treatments!
This is the BEST kennel we have ever used and we are so grateful to have found them!!! We have owned multiple Australian Cattle Dogs, and our current dog Bailey can be a handful. We struggled for several years trying to find a kennel that would love Bailey and understand the nature of this breed. Multiple kennels didn't work out. But from the get go, the team at the Ponderosa has not only made it work, but they love our dog Bailey, they play with him regularly (he needs lots of exercise), they send us photos, and he is happy and healthy when we pick him up! The Ponderosa is great with all dogs, they adapt their services to meet the needs to insure the best care possible. Each dog has lots of room to play, with and indoor/outdoor kennel and play yards. We are so grateful for the Ponderosa -- to finally have peace of mind knowing our special needs dog is safe and happy. Thank you so much to the owners and staff. We love you guys!
Our dog Lucy goes to daycare and really comes home well exercised . All the staff have been extremely nice. They often send pictures of Lucy playing with her friends. We have never boarded but most of our neighbors have and highly recommend. The facility is clean and they offer many additional services. Would definitely recommend Little Ponderosa.
Super passionate caring hard working individuals that love your dog just as much as you do. They send pictures to you to ease your worries and love what they do. Highly recommend! Can I check myself in?!
We have bringing our dog to Little Ponderosa for over a year now and they have loved going there. We can tell because everytime we pull in the driveway she gets excited and can't wait to get inside. The staff is so sweet and always love on our girl. I love getting the pictures every day - when you are away and see other dogs it makes you so sad ...then you get a pic of your pup having a ball and it makes you smile. Thanks Little Ponderosa Pet Resort
We have been bringing our year old Lab rescue to Little Ponderosa for daycare. The staff is wonderful and it's easy to see that they enjoy their job and are great with the dogs. Additionally, it's the cleanest kennel I've ever been in. Our boy is always happy from a day of play there.
Our dog, Sunny, has stayed many times at Little Ponderosa over the last 3 years. She loves playing with the other dogs and her favorite people there. We can do what we need to do, travel as needed and never worry about her care. Thank you Little Ponderosa for taking such good care of our fur baby!
