"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.

This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.

Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!

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.

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.

Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!

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!

Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .

We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.

Amy is truly a god sent. When I was told there was no other option but euthanasia for my dog, she welcomed her in to see what she could do with no hesitation. She wanted to see my dog succeed and be better just as much as I did and trained her according to what my dog needed specifically - and even found tracking helps her relax. It made me feel even better that I am chopped liver to my dogs when they are with Amy because they love her so much. Both of my dogs are the happiest they have been in many years because of her. They are able to comfortably be on their places in the house together, and occasionally play with each other outside for the first time in 2 years. My dog used to get scared at the sight of a dog in the distance, now we live in the city and walk on the river walk trail and pass dozens of dogs everyday. I still drive an hour to board my dogs because I know they are safe in her care. Thanks Amy, we couldn’t have gotten where we are without you ! -Jordan
We cannot recommend Fox Hollow & Amy highly enough! We sent our puppy to a 3 week Board & Train when he was 7 months old because like most puppies he was driving us crazy as we felt like he didn't listen or understand any direction or basic manners. My first phone call with Amy impressed me beyond belief as I spoke with other trainers (franchise & private) and could tell her approach was the right fit for our family and what we wanted in our outcomes. Amy picked him up a few weeks later for our scheduled dates and got to know our lifestyle, house, and what we wanted most. We had a list of things but our #1 was recall and our #2 was to get him to stop counter-surfing. Amy sent photos & updates along the way and when he came home he had mastered our complete list. She gave us great instruction on how to make sure we reinforced it and maintained it and has continued to be available for support when we get stuck or feel like he's relapsing. He's a happier dog because he can please us now and we are a much calmer household that doesn't yell or get frustrated with him because we have the tools to tell him what we expect and he has the tools to deliver. The investment is worth every penny!!!!
I CANNOT express how amazing Amy is and the work she does. We have a 3 year old Great Dane who we rescued from a “who-knows” situation. Zeus is dog reactivity and people reactive when he’s inside the home and extremely dog reactive when he’s outside the home. It was to the point where he would see someone pass by the house or a dog would bark and he would explode and jump around and go crazy. Then we had our daughter. This dog would run through the entire house going ballistic every time she would cry or make any noise in general. I lost all hope in him and was ready to rehome him but I let my husband find someone to train him as our last resort. We talked to several trainers throughout the area and Amy was the best person we talked to that we felt comfortable with handling our dog. AN ABSOLUTE MIRACLE WORKER. Zeus has done a complete 180! To the point where I have cried from the videos that we were sent while he was away. He’s still a work in progress but I am beyond thankful for Amy and the work she’s done. It finally feels like we can enjoy our lives and Zeus will have a better quality of life in the long run. Not only that but I don’t live with constant anxiety with waiting for him to have an outburst or for him to freak out when our 2 month old cries. The amount of support she gives is unbelievable as well. I could never recommend her enough! Thank you so much, Amy!
Barbara Love Posting publicly I can’t figure out how to post it- i clicked on the post button and it says I am not signed in??? I signed in through google - I hate technology… Please let me know if this is to long.. this is my first written review 😉 I have a 10 month old Cocker Spaniel that is a BRAT! My puppy, Louie, believed he ruled the house and me!!! Things were of control. I needed help! So I started researching training options. I found Fox Hollow Kennel’s web-sight and they offered in home training. Which is what I thought I needed. I filled out their information form. Amy, the owner, quickly responded by phone and we scheduled an in house meeting the following week. I immediately received a calendar invite. Amy arrived on time! My dog, Louie showed himself right away. During our meeting, Amy throughly explained her training concepts and program while working with Louie. By the end of the hour, my little BRAT was starting to consistently respond to Amy’s directions. She explained I was using to many words which was confusing and frustrating Louie. We decided that a 3 week boarding training program would be good for both Louie and myself - for a reset and fresh restart. While Louie was away I received several email updates and videos! Amy would always responded quickly to any and all my questions. I was so taken back by Louie’s positive growth in such a short time! Louie came home a totally different dog! Amy stayed for two hours making sure I knew how to communicate and work with him. It was very rewarding seeing Louie so calm and responsive to me. Amy’s calm, positive and firm approach is always so respectful of Louie and me. I totally relate to her down to earth and common sense style of training. Louie clearly adores Amy by the way he immediately sits and stares into her eyes during our additional support training lessons. I am so pleased with my experience with Fox Hollow Kennel. Louie is growing into a well behaved young dog and I am becoming a positive trainer/mom❤️
I have used Fox Hollow Kennel for years and have always been impressed with the level of care provided by the staff. These are people who truly love animals and will go to great efforts to accommodate the needs of their clients. I personally drive 2 hours one way so I can use this kennel for my pets and I am happy to continuing to do so. When my anxious dog is with Amy and Jen, she always comes home happy and healthy! Don’t believe fake reviewers who have never used this kennel!!!
I will never take my dog anywhere else! My pup tends to be nervous around new people and has separation anxiety when I'm away. He is happy as a clam when he is with Amy and Jenn! I always hear about how he wants to be cuddled and give kisses to them. He NEVER does that with anyone outside of the family. That's how you know they are the BEST! They will care for your baby like their own!
This is a fabulous Kennel! The owner, Amy, is very knowledgeable about animals. She breeds and trains German Shepard's. I feel completely good about leaving my dogs with her and her family. My Sarplaninac dog was recently spayed. Since she's a livestock guardian dog she is an outside dog. After her surgery the doctor wanted her resting for two weeks. I decided the best way for her to rest, but not have to be crated all day and night, was to go to Fox Hollow. Amy was fantastic with her! She gave her the medicines she needed, watched out for signs of infection. And hand walked her! A lot of kennels won't do that, but Amy went above and beyond the normal duties of a boarding kennel. I've been using her for years now and wouldn't send my dogs any where else. All the dogs go out in the fenced yard every day for exercise and fun. She offers grooming as well. She's a horse woman and I think she boards horses as well! The kennel itself is an older one, but don't let that worry you. It's a safe environment for your four legged friends! My one dog is a chronic run away and he's never gotten loose from here! I really can't say enough about this kennel. I highly recommend it!
Amy and Jenn cared for our pup while we were on vacation, and we were so happy with their service. It was so nice that I could just text them to check in on how our pup was doing, and they would answer right away with updates. They provided quality care, with much attention to detail....we were so grateful for the peace of mind this gave us while we were away. We would highly recommend their service to others. 😊
My husband and I have three dogs. 2 Boston Terriers and 1 Border Collie that thinks she's a Boston Terrier! We have been boarding here for a couple of years now. I always request 1 run, because our dogs are used to sleeping together on trips. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable!!! They care for our pets as though they were their own! We wouldn't board anywhere else! My brother and his wife even boarded their German Shepherds here that were trained for two years in the Czech Republic for 2 years. They trust their care to no one! But upon my recommendation they trusted that they would be well cared for and they were! We have never been disappointed!!! The dogs come home happy, which makes us happy! And they always go to the kennel excited and not scared!!! That proves to me that they are comfortable there! Tails wagging and not tucked between their legs!!! I'm very impressed!!! Thank you for loving our babies as we do! Sincerely, Trina & Wes Haddix
The thought and care given to our fur baby was much appreciated. They knew my dog had a nervous belly and took the time to mix her food and watch to make sure she was comfortable.

Pet Nanny Services is amazing! Stacey has cared for my cat, Kitteran, multiple times over the past few months. Kitteran receives an inhaler twice a day, and she's done a fantastic job earning his trust and managing his medication schedule. I would highly recommend Pet Nanny Services!
Tracie is an experienced pet sitter. You can tell she really knows about animals. Both of my cats are older, and one has chronic kidney disease. I’m very nervous to leave them, even just for a few days. I felt like Tracie would be able to tell if something was wrong with them, which is not easy with cats. Getting daily updates was great, also. It allowed me to enjoy visiting with family and friends without being so preoccupied about whether my cats were really OK at home. Peace of mind is worth so much. Also, her prices are very reasonable. And she does more than just pet sitting or dog walking. The first job Tracie did for me was driving my cats to the vet when I was too sick to leave my home. If you ever find yourself in a bind like that, finding a solution that doesn’t break the bank is such a relief.
Tracie and Pet Nanny Services are excellent. She is knowledgeable and caring for our sweet, shy cat, Sabrina. We are grateful Tracie has cared for Sabrina several times and now our cat is affectionate with Tracie—a true accomplishment. Tracie also sends us much appreciated progress reports and sometimes photos while we are away. This really helps with missing our beloved pet. Tracie does much more to help like getting our mail and also refrigerated an unexpected medicine delivery arriving in the mail. Tracie provides services for dogs and cats. Tracie and Pet Nanny Services go above and beyond other pet sitters!
Tracie has helped us with our cats several times in the past. She and her assistants have been wonderful. They have a true love for animals, are very responsible and go beyond and above. We really appreciate that they take care of little details around our house while we are away and we feel that our cats are cared for very well. Tracie and her team are great and easy to work with and we are looking forward to hiring them again.
Tracie is a very kind and caring person, just the right person you want for your pet! She is dependable and flexible. Her prices are very reasonable. She is highly recommended from Chloe and Stella, 14 year old Minnie Wiener dogs. 🐶 …
I have had the good fortune to be a client of Tracie and Pet Nanny Services for several years. Tracie is unquestionably reliable, responsible, professional, and a wonderful resource for dog behavior and health issues. My dog loves her regular walks and time with Tracie. I highly recommend Pet Nanny Services!
I have been using Pet Nanny Services for the last year and a-half to care for my two Maltese siblings. I have been incredibly happy with their services, but most importantly my canine babies have been too. Tracie and her staff treat them with gentle love and caring, as if they were their own. My Maltese twins are very happy when I come home as a result. The PNS staff members feel like family to us. They have never missed an appointment, and have always been available on short notice. I recommend Pet Nanny Services to anyone in need of care for their beloved pets. JG of Charlottesville, VA.
Tracy Galligher with Pet Nanny Services is amazing. Last year when I had an emergency hospitalization, I called Tracy and she immediately went to check on my two pets. My family lives out of town and if it were not for Tracy and Pet Nanny Services my animals would have been in trouble. Since then she has been just as reliable. Thank you Pet Nanny Services.
My husband and I have used Pet Nanny Services since 2008, and Tracie now pet-sits for our third and fourth dogs! There is no one we trust more with our dogs. Tracie is so dependable, and if needed, she has taken them to the vet when we've been traveling. One time when one of our dogs was wounded by a larger dog, she insisted we take our planned trip, and she took the dog to the vet at least three times during our absence. She is so loving and sincerely cares for the dogs, spending time with them on each visit so they don't get lonely. We and our dogs simply love her and know she'll always be there for us. That's priceless. Beth and Jack Schmid
I've used Pet Nanny Services for years. Tracie and her pet sitters are professional and reliable. Pet Nanny works with your schedule and you can use the services either on a regular or intermittent basis. Tracie's easy to reach by e-mail or phone. I never have to worry about my Boxer when I entrust him to Tracie's care. She's also offered to do other tasks, like bringing in the mail taking in packages and watering plants. Her business is 5 star!
