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!!

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.

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!

Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!

We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.

Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.

Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.

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!

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.

Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!

We had an amazing experience with The Ruff House! We needed a place to board our dog (Lincoln) over Thanksgiving and were fortunate to find an opening. The communication was excellent—we received daily report cards detailing our dog’s activities and even got pictures of him playing and enjoying his meals. It was so reassuring to see how well he was cared for. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely be using their services again in the future!
We LOVE The Ruff House!! Our pup gets so excited for daycare days ❤️ And the report cards and pics they share are adorable. We can tell she has a great time. They also do super cute theme days, including letting the dogs send valentines to each other! 💌 We love them!!! …
The Ruff House and its employees are the best of the best. Our 2 beagles have been frequent daycare and overnight boarders for several years. You know your dogs are happy when they run to the front door of the facility as if to say, let us in, let the party begin. Thank you Ruff House!!!
Pretty Sure Rex would also give a 5 star review! Great loving staff and a very reasonable cost. When we dropped him off for his first boarding there were other dogs arriving as well. They all looked super happy and excited to be there. When we picked him up it was obvious he felt at home at The Ruff House. I sure appreciated the daily pictures and the report cards.
We love The Ruff House so much. Our pups stayed here for 20 days in total so far and they were thriving! One of our pups gets very protective of our other pup in social settings and also gets very anxious when she sees her sister playing with other dogs. The staff patiently listened to our needs. As a solution, they made sure to separate the pups when they socialized with other dogs and they even made time for one-on-one play! The daily report cards were fantastic and were the highlights of our vacation (sad, I know). Our drive to The Ruff House was 1.5 hours from DC but we’d readily make the trek in the future. That’s how great this place is!
We left our yorkiepoo for a long weekend and she enjoyed her time at the Ruff House. We didn’t receive any issues about her and she’s very happy! She will probably miss her friends from the Ruff House! We are very pleased to leave our yorkiepoo at the Ruff House! She seems to really enjoy all the other dogs she plays with and the staff is wonderful with her! We bring her there whenever we leave town!
My husband and I are newer pet parents. We have an almost 2yo boxer mix and this was our first time having to board him. The Ruff House had great reviews so we took the leap and scheduled a week with them. I love that they have a meet and greet to evaluate the pup and see how they do with other dogs, especially since ours hasn’t been around dogs in that type of setting. Obviously we were nervous but the staff member that we handed our pup off too on 7/18 was wonderful. I also voiced my concerns about him being a pain to feed. Sometimes it sits out all day sometimes we sit down and spoon feed him. Obviously he’s spoiled rotten. They were happy to oblige!! Also the report cards and pictures were sent were comforting. To be able to see him having fun made us so happy! I highly recommend boarding your pup here.
We love The Ruff House! We recently boarded our dog here for 3 nights and we couldn’t have had a better experience! We looked forward to the daily photos and report cards! It gives us comfort to know our girl will be taken care of when we travel!
We LOVE the Ruff House! Our dog, Grohl, has the best time whenever he goes there, jumping to get out of the car. I love getting daily report cards with photos and updates on what he did all day. They do such a great job with the pups and I HIGHLY recommend them!
My husband & I felt very comfortable leaving our dog Kassie at the Ruff House for 2 weeks while on vacation. With daily report cards & pictures of her playing with her new friends, we felt like she was also on vacation & having the time of her life. The facility is very structured & the employees are very caring & nuturing. We will definitely consider using the Ruff House again in the future.

I'm new to the Fredericksburg area and this was my first time using Peace of Mind Pet Services. I have kitties and was apprehensive leaving them with complete strangers for the very first time. I have to say that the name says it all!!! First I had communication with Janette who answered ALL of my many questions with patience and humor and she definitely laid my fears to rest. Then I met Wanda who was the person who actually took care of my kitties and boy oh boy, what a magnificent person she is. Wanda took care of my kitties, I feel, like they were her own. This was the first time that I came back from being away and didn't get that kitty attitude from them that how dare I leave them, so I know they were in very good hands with Wanda. I would highly recommend Peace of Mind Pet Services! As I said above, their name says it all.
Janette and staff are amazing! We have a reactive dog and another dog that takes medications. I fully trust that my dogs are being taken care of with Janette. They send updates and pictures of my happy pups when they visit. I’ve been using them for several months now and do not have any complaints!
Such a great pet sitting company! Janette is incredibly responsive, reliable, and very caring. She has saved me numerous times with last minute requests. Her team is great too. My dogs love them and get so excited to see them. Jannette loves them almost as much as I do. Can’t recommend her and her team more highly!! You can trust them with your fur babies.
When a last minute travel opportunity came up, Janette was able to accommodate us. While away, she came in, fed our cat, spent time with him, and sent updates and photos. She also did us the service of bringing in mail and packages for our 2 days away. The descriptions of how our cat was doing were incredibly reassuring, and it was nice to see his face and how he was adapting to Janette. I look forward to using Peace of Mind Pet Services in the future, and not just because it means another vacation! :) I highly recommend this company and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
With my long commute, and impromptu traffic jams, I could not continue to have pets without "Peace of Mind" Pet Services. This business is very well named! Thank you!
I have known and used Janette Housley's pet services since 2010. She is an outstanding pet person. My pets adore her and I have never had a poor experience with her. She is brilliant, loving, kind, generous, and totally devoted to animals. Anyone who uses her services will never seek another. Congratulations on offering such outstanding services to the community of pet lovers.
Janette and her crew have provided excellent, loving care for our dogs. They work with the schedule we give them (i.e., 4 walks and feedings per day since one dog has trouble with less than that). The dogs LOVE everyone with Peace of Mind Pet Services! We enjoy the notes about many of the visits along with the current pictures of our boys eating, walking, or being loved. We have left our babies with Janette et al for a week at a time and shorter spells also.
I have used Peace of Mind for many years. I can be away from home knowing that my canine and feline pets are being well cared for. I receive daily updates . They even took care of a special fish my grandson gave me. I strongly recommend them as they are loving caregivers and wonderful people.
We highly recommend! We've been having Jeannette and her team sit our kitties for a few years now..... She uses a handy app for scheduling visits and making payments, but she's always a text or email away when plans change or status is requested. The app also allows sitters to send visit status posts and photos, which is nice when on the road away from home.
In the several years of using this business I have never had a single problem. The staff is very professional and quick to respond to requests. The attention to detail, including providing updates during longer out-of-town trips, is fantastic. It's not just the business, they truly care for the pets they watch. I couldn't be happier with this service and I would rate them as highly as possible to anyone looking for a dedicated pet sitting service.
