Give your pets a fun staycation!
Fiona was a really great sitter. She was super self sufficient, she sent many photos of Zoe and funny commentary. It was clear that she loved spending time with Zoe. She left my place clean and she was easy to coordinate with. I’d have her back any time.

Kristina did an excellent job as our house sitter. We have quite a few house plants in our home and in a small green house. Kristina took great care of them. She communicated with us and sent photos whenever she was concerned about a plant. Her concerns were unwarranted as she took excellent care of them. She also communicated well with us regarding some issues with the house. Upon returning from a six-week trip we found our house sparkling clean and well taken care of. We would be happy to have Kristina sit for us again and recommend her without hesitation

Experienced Pet Sitter, Property Manager, and Airbnb Superhost
Molly and Lee knew exactly how to be over the top sitters. The house and Tabby were well taken care of. I was pleased to know that they embedded with our community and staff. Additionally, Molly and Lee were able to explore beautiful St. Lucia to learn of why it is so great to live here. Mary and I look forward to their return next year. Molly and Lee, job well done. I appreciate the work on the lawns, absolutely beautiful.

Lovely people and wonderful sitters. The cats were happy and my home was well cared for. Nancy communicated well through the sit and was flexible setting up arrival and departure times. She and Dan would be welcome back anytime!

Lover of animals and travel...
Jonathan was prompt and clear with communications. He reached out with questions before the sit and sought clarification on my instructions during the sit. He sent photos of Sophie and Pepito, along with updates. He reached out with a concern about an open gate in the backyard to make sure I knew about it (I did). My animals were well cared-for and the house was tidy on my return. Overall, he was reliable and trustworthy. Thank you, Jonathan!

Digital Nomad w/ 10+ Years House-Sitting Experience
Rebecca is very sweet and incredibly considerate. We had a nice long zoom call before confirming the sit and she was easy to talk to. At the time I had two kitties and one was very ill. Rebecca asked thoughtful questions and had so much experience that my stress and anxiety were alleviated; I was grateful to have found her and felt completely comfortable entrusting my kitties and little piece of paradise to her. Unfortunately my Fizzy Fitzy's health deteriorated and he didn't make it. I let Rebecca know before the sit that it would be only one kitty and that he would be adjusting to the loss of his "brother" and companion and might need more care and attention. She was so kind and again, I felt like the universe had sent me the right person. Rebecca and I got a chance to meet as we overlapped by an hour or two on day one; I was so glad to be able to see her in person and give her a hug before I left. I returned after about 10 days to a calm kitty (which was amazing given that he'd just lost his lifelong companion) and an immaculate apartment. Rebecca even washed the sheets and made the bed which was so beyond helpful and appreciated after a tiring trip. Rebecca sent me a long message on the last day letting me know what had been done and showing a walk-through of the home (she's very thorough, which I love), so I knew what I was coming home to down to the fruit in the fridge. Seriously, the place was immaculate! I know you're journeying on Rebecca but I would love to have you sit anytime. Thank you!

Experienced, caring sitter and your pet's new best friend.
All expectations exceeded!!! Outstanding, Amazing.....I would give a ten star review if possible. Patricia was my first sitter off zeewoi and she was a dream come true. Patricia is an excellent communicator, is responsive, flexible, kind, thoughtful....you get the idea that I can't say enough!! Then there was the cat care. My cat Minnie has never before been so normal upon my return from travel. Typically Minnie would be a nervous wreck after my travel, have lost a ton of hair, be meowing constantly, etc. Not this time, it was as if I never went away, amazing!! Minnie was so well cared for! Patricia is a cat whisperer I am certain because my cat can be a paranoid freakazoid but she was normal with Patricia! Patricia also sent videos and pictures which was both very sweet and made me realize I needed to up my own game playing with my cat.... I'm sure she misses play time with Patricia. And like many other reviewers mentioned, Patricia even left gifts...wow, what!.... .I was the one who should be gifting Patricia!! Thank you Patricia, you are an amazing pet sitter!!

Responsible, young professional.
Wesley was our very first exposure to zeewoi and he certainly did not disappoint! What a great experience. We felt safe being gone for almost 20 days while our Leo was in excellent hands. Wesley was excellent at communicating, sending photos of Leo and even describing some of their activities, which made our vacation that much better. He also shared with us that he was enjoying the town and our restaurants which made us happy to know he was doing well himself. Wesley, not only kept Leo happy and well exercised (our mail man said they walked as much as he does every day!) but he also kept our plants alive and kept the house spotless. He even went as far as washing his linens and remaking his room! Definitely a star pet sitter, and I certainly hope he will consider staying with Leo again.
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!
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
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!
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!

Equinox Pet Care is fantastic. Our dog loves her walks with Morgan. Morgan provides great updates (and pictures), is organized and prompt. I know our dog is in great hands with him.
Morgan is great and my dogs love him! He took the girls for a nice little walk. They are both 14 yrs old and one is nearly blind and deaf and they loved the walk! Morgan sent pictures so I knew they were happy! I won’t worry about leaving them for a long day home again!!
Morgan is so amazing with my senior rescue girl, Bambi!! She loves him so much and he always bends over backwards to accommodate. He has even helped me out in several emergencies. Bambi even got a lovely bag of treats for Christmas. Amazing, trustworthy pet sitter!!
Our OES took an IMMEDIATE SHINE to Morgan / owner of this professional and reliable dog walk service . Scheduling and fees all streamlined and easy to work with, with Equinox Pet Care we don’t have to worry about anything. Thx!
I highly recommend Equinox Pet Care! Morgan is the best! He is reliable, professional, and takes such good care the animals who have been entrusted to his care.
We're so grateful to have Morgan come daily for our 2yr old dog & 15wk old puppy. Our two dogs can be pretty wild together and require careful supervision; Morgan's expertise regarding dog behavior has been so reassuring! Our dogs are safe and happy every day when I come home from work. Morgan also does our puppy's daily feedings, and is great about sticking to our household routines/ training. He sends us so many lovely pictures, and we also get to watch updates on EPC social media. If the future, we would not hesitate to use EPC for overnight/ special visits. Morgan and I connected in a last-minute/ emergency situation wherein we needed a new dog walker ASAP, and he responded immediately! Has been wonderful ever since. Would highly recommend Morgan/ Equinox Pet Care!
Morgan took great care of our pup while we skiied near Manchester. He was super flexible with scheduling and very responsive (even during the week he had a baby, unbelievably!) our dog was happy and tired :)
Equinox pet care did a great job with our two dogs! He took them hiking, was always on time, and sent photo updates each visit. They get so excited whenever he comes over to pick them up. Highly recommend!
Morgan is the best. Calm cheerful reliable .. he is all the good things. Our dogs and kitty all love him. So do we! Hikes treats overnights … he does it all. I give him my highest recommendation.
My dogs are so lucky to have Equinox Pet Care! They are always responsible and reliable! I highly recommend them!
Thank you so so much for all the kind words. Don't know what we would have done without you for so many years. Hector's favorite days were Tuesday and Thursday when he got to go to "camp" All we had to say is time for camp and he got so excited to go to Wagmore. When he got to Wagmore he would just jump out of the car. Even with bad hips!!! He loved his vacations there. Sometime when I would pick him up he would go back to Damien. He loved him so much. He loved all of you. And so do I! Wagmore has been so wonderful to Hector over the years. We will miss the wonderful staff on drop off days. They are so great! I am so sorry that Hector passed in his sleep at your place. I can't think of another place he loved so much. It made us feel so much better knowing he was taken care off so kindly and professionally by you. We will NEVER forget that. Nancy and Amos Brown Jamaica, VT
We have had nothing but good experiences with Wagmore Kennels. We bring our rather active Lab to daycare every week. She always comes home exhausted and happy! You can really tell that the people at Wagmore genuinely care about the pups as they get to know each one personally. We never worry about leaving our dog in their care.
My 2 Sheepadoodles had a great time and were very happy! They did daycare during the day and were boarded overnight for 8 nights. I will definitely leave them there again when I go away.
Cassie and Sam and all of the staff at Wagmore take loving care of my dog, whether he attends day camp or boards overnight. Wagmore is bright and airy and my pup is happy and calm when he comes home to me. Highly recommend.
We love this kennel when we're in Vermont. It's very convenient to Stratton and Manchester and our golden loves going to daycare at Wagmore while we ski. The owners are a really nice young couple who go out of their way to accommodate your schedule and make sure your dog is happy and comfortable.
We were so happy with Wagmore and all of the great people taking care of our dogs! Our terrier can be a bit of a handful, but Rachel and her staff welcomed him and both our dogs just had a great time!! Thanks Wagmore (^.^)
I brought my timid dog for daycare. There were no attempts to win over his trust with treat or toys. They just grabbed his leash and tried pulling him toward the kennel. When this didn’t work a different employee came over and said, “your not going to like me” and grabbed him by his harness and attempted to drag him. No surprise that these two techniques didn’t work. I gave two stars because the kennel itself looked nice but the employees have no idea how to deal with timid dogs. Edit in response to owner. Our dog wasn't frightened until they started to pull him by the lead. How would giving him treat in the entrance without any other dogs around lead to resource guarding? Our dog absolutely loves other dogs and is very well socialized with dogs. The problem was not with dogs is was how the employees failed to gain any trust with the dog before dragging him on lead. I would highly recommend professional training for your staff. Edit in response to the owners edit. You obviously were not there. We didn't help ourself to treats in the front office. Your staff of teenagers absolutely draged and forced our pup with no attempt to gain trust. I'm also sorry we brought our pup to your establishment. Satisfy owners needs? We don't need daycare, never had needed it. We just wanted to get him comfortable with boarding. He is house trained, has a 16 acre farm to explore, and always comes with us on trips. Don't worry though, if we ever do need to board him we found the perfect match at The Barn at Off The Hook Kennels. They took the few minutes to gain his trust. It's crazy how people who know how to work with dogs can easily gain the trust of unsure pups.
I trust Wagmore with my furry daughter, Penny, 100%! When I first adopted her, she was a wild seven-month-old puppy, and bringing her to daycare twice a week was a blessing - she would leave and be (a good, healthy) exhausted for 48 hours! I've also boarded Penny overnight multiple times. I love when they post pictures of her on their Facebook account, and I know she's in good hands. They have been so responsive and accommodating when my schedule has changed last minute.
Very friendly staff who care about the dogs in their care. Our dog loves it so much that we now have to spell Wagmore rather than say the word as he gets too excited if we say the word. The kennel is very clean with safety a big priority. Our experience there has been GREAT.
We love Wagmore. Our dog always enjoys herself and comes home happy as can be. They are always professional and I feel very comfortable bringing my dog there. Highly recommend.
Great place for pets; our dog comes back very happy every time. We joke that she likes us pretty well, but loves her friends at Pawnal Pets. Really lovely staff. Highly recommended!
My dog and I used to love Pawnal Pets. I didn't have my own car, and had to rely on other people for rides for a year. Other people let me down. I called twice the same day to cancel two grooming appointments. They will no longer accept my dog for grooming or boarding, even now that I have my own car.
They seem like very nice young people with a very nice business and a good attitude. I feel confident my pet will be well taken care of.
Pawnal Pets is a great place! My three dogs have stayed several times and are happy while there. I love that they have "play" time and can socialize. Now they offer grooming so the dogs come home clean, groomed and happy. I highly recommend Pawnal Pets!
Tammy was helpful and knowledgeable about their operations. Suites are big enough for two 100lbs dogs Fair prices. Clean and well maintenance. Seems safe, but this is our first visit.
Pawnal pets have been an amazing find for us and our 3 dogs and 2 cats. They are always so accommodating and I just love the picture updates of our guys having so much fun. Highly recommend them!
After a week away I came back to two very happy cats! They had an entire room to climb and play in, I was very impressed with the facilities. I highly recommend Pawnal Pets, and will definitely return in the future.
Ashley did a great job with our 14 year old cockapoo, Cinnamon. His cut was great and he seemed to enjoy his time with her.
An absolutely wonderful place to board your pets while away. Our kitties love coming here for their vacations while we take ours & the prices are more than fair.
Had a trip to Europe planned and my traveling companion had made a reservation for her dog to stay here for the week. Owner insisted she did NOT need to meet the dog in advance even though my friend told her he was a rescue and was still working out behaviors. Brought dog to drop off with less than an hour to spare to make our plane to England and owner refused dog. Less than ideal accommodations had to be made for his care with her refusal to meet him in advance.
