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.

Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
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!
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!
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
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!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
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.
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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, 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!
Katie is absolutely the best!!! I had never left my pets with anyone other than family. I have two golden retrievers, a skittish, shy cat, and a beta fish. Katie came to my home for a meet and greet prior to the dates I needed a pet sitter. My two golden retrievers took to her right away. I knew immediately she would be perfect. She stayed in my home while I was away for my son’s wedding. She would update me with text messages and photos on how all the pets were doing throughout each day. I was able to enjoy my son’s wedding and never once did I worry about my pets. When I returned home, she had left very detailed reports cards for each pet for each day she cared for them. She also left my pets gifts, along with a thank you note. She did things that I did not even expect of her, such as taking out the trash and washing the bed linens and towels she used while staying in my home. I will absolutely always call Katie whenever I need a pet sitter. She is punctual, friendly, very detailed, experienced, professional, polite, and wonderful with the pets she cares for.
“Katie has been a Godsend as I recently moved to the area and my new work schedule makes it hard to get my dog proper exercise and stimulation. In a very short period, Katie has endeared herself to my pup, who now perks up whenever I tell her “it’s a Miss Katie day” when I leave for work! Katie goes above and beyond to communicate, provide insight and observations of how my girl is doing, sends pictures and provides detailed updates (including a report card) on their activities together. It comforts me to know that I have a professional like Katie who provides so much care and attention to my dog while I’m away. I can’t recommend her services enough.”
Katie is incredible! She is kind, thorough, attentive, responsive and animals love her. Plus she makes planning and paying super easy (appreciate being able to use Zelle or Venmo)! I contacted Katie with a last minute request to take care of my Mom's cat while she was in the hospital. She responded quickly and was even willing to adjust her schedule to accommodate my request. The cat is super skittish - but came out to say hello to Katie. She's an animal whisper. :) She took great care of the cat and even went above & beyond by purchasing more litter when I was running low. Thank you Katie for being so professional and so wonderful with animals!
WOW! is all I can say about the incredible care and service my pup (Sophie) received this summer when Katie stayed in our house to dog-sit for a week. Sophie is an older dog who does not get along well with other dogs and cannot be crated. She's a little quirky and we needed someone who understood her. During the meet and greet, Sophie fell in love with Katie- nothing but tail wags and kisses; it was clear Katie was able to speak Sophie's language. While we were gone, Katie sent us pictures of the pup. Sophie always looked happy. When we returned home after a week, Katie had left daily report cards for Sophie's activities each day we were gone. When we arrived home, the house was immaculate and Sophie was a happy girl- but she would still go into the guest room and look for her new best friend, Katie, for a couple of days after we returned. Katie cared for Sophie and our house as if they were her own and we could not recommend her more or give her high enough praise. She went way above and beyond what we expected and we couldn't be more grateful. Be prepared for your pet to be treated like royalty when Katie comes to take care of them- HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We are so happy that we found Katie for help with our two labs. We needed her support during the day because we ended up with a couple work days that were too long to leave them. Katie was amazing! She sent pictures and videos, left adorable doggie report cards, and the dogs LOVE her! She is super professional and has a wonderful attention to little details that make the experience extra special. We are so thankful to find someone that we can count on for help to make our dogs’ lives better when we can’t be there. We give her the highest recommendation! We are excited to have her back soon!
I moved to the area a couple of years ago and struggled to find a pet sitter that I could trust to take care of my fur babies (with special needs) while I was on vacation. I am thrilled that I found Katie. She is absolutely the BEST! Not only did she keep me up to date on the day to day goings on, she kept a daily log to track all medicines she administered and wrote a daily report card for each of my pets. On top of that, she went above and beyond with little things, that together were big things. I highly recommend Katie!
BEST PET SITTER EVER!!!!!! Katie did so much for my two kitties for the week we were away; from daily photos/videos and updates, to even throwing a little 4th of July themed birthday party for the kitties!! I have quite high expectations for anyone watching my babies, and she exceeded them entirely. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and can truly see she cares for every animal that falls under her care. She’s the best of the best!!!!
Katie is amazing! She’s walks my puppy during the day so he can get some energy out and get some exercise while I’m at a work and let me just say he looks SO SO SOOOO happy in all of the pictures she sent! I love how she sends me picture of him through out the walk and a report of how the walk went! I HIGHLY recommend Katie’s Pet Sitting Services!
Katie was ‘a dog whisperer’ with our elderly dog. Recommend her unequivocably. She house/dog sat. All was perfect. She left cute and informative ‘report cards’ detailing our dog daily activities.
Katie cares about your pets and has a ton of knowledge on how to best care and interact with your pets. She’s super awesome and goes above and beyond.
We have been using Country K9 for decades and wouldn't take our pets anywhere else. They have so much more to offer than just boarding. They always take care of our fur babies and our Pit loves going there.
Been here 2+ years now, always professional, friendly, and do a great job with grooming my big and shy German shepherd. Boarding is easy. Highly recommend.
My dog sitter got sick as we were packing to leave for my daughters wedding in Cancun. Country K-9 had availability last minute, Apple Blossom weekend, for both my dogs. The indoor/outdoor runs with the option for no contact was perfect for our aging temperamental Boxer and the extra play time for our English Bulldog was just what he needed. The staff was friendly, understanding and very helpful. I will be recommending them to everyone!
All of our worries were never necessary. This crew was great, we have some high maintenance pets and I had no worries when I walked out the door and when we came to pick them up everybody's clean happy. Very professional operation I would recommend to anybody.
They are always great with our pets. We have 2 pits, a cat, and a rabbit. The one pit is high energy.
We have been coming to Country K9 for 10 years now. In fact, we drive an hour and 20 minutes one way to board our German Shepherd here. Melissa and Chelsea always treat our boy like he's their own. We are so grateful and privileged to know them and be able to count on them. Our dog isn't always easy to handle, but we always know he's in good, capable, and trustworthy hands at Country K9. Although there are several boarding facilities closer to our home, we wouldn't board him anywhere else.
What a life saver!! when you have some thing unexpected come up a day before thanks giving! Those Wonderfull ladies stayed late to work me into the schedule!! That you so much!!!!!
We have never boarded our dogs before, but needed to find somewhere to keep them while we were on vacation. We have two Boston terriers and a Great Pyrenees puppy. Country K9 was great with them, clean, and extremely friendly. I was nervous to leave them since they’ve never been with anyone but family, but I wouldn’t hesitate to leave them with Country K9 again.
Very nice facility. My dog was very happy here. Great price transparency on their website. They are back on a gravel road, so do not bring a low clearance vehicle. Very reasonable rates, especially for the Winchester area.
We have boarded our Pomeranian Dash there on multiple occasions for various lengths of time. Always a good experience, great price, great staff.
We just had our first boarding experience with Back Mountain Canine Cove and I can't say enough good things about our experience. This was our first time boarding our rescue pitbull/husky mix and I was definitely anxious. Carrie did an …
The whole team at Biscuits Dog Walking are amazing. They walk my dog five days a week and are always on time and provide emails when the walk starts and when it is done. I would not hesitate to recommend them for daily walks or daycare.
Always there when we need them. Would absolutely recommend their in home services. We have typically used their services 2-3 times a week over the past several months. Corinna & Karlee are very attentive with our puppies.
Wanye, Corinna , and all his staff and reliable and high tech ! They send reminders, photos of the dogs being walked every day, and are very professional. I am a believer in this company!
Love the staff. Erin was a saint and a great helo with my antisocial dog. He is really opening up. Gabriella is the owner and checks in, ut is wonder to do business with people that care for their clients both human and other.
We need a pet sitter for our two dogs for our holiday vacation and found Gabriela (owner) and her Burke Centre Pet Sitting company on line. We contacted her through email and got a quick response and she did a very thorough and complete …
The Great Catsby has been great to work wirh! I moved and then needed a very last minute cat sitter for a business trip. I realized my old cat sitter was out of network, who then recommended The Great Catsby. Callie quickly jumped in to …
