Becky is simply the best! This was her second time at our home, Egret Cove. This sit, Becky took care of two of our dogs, Hannah and Trixie and our two cats, Cali and Baby Kitty. All of them love Becky and are so relaxed around her. It had been a year since her first sit, but all four were happy to be left in her care. Baby Kitty and Becky have a special bond and she loves Becky so much. From the time that Becky got to our Home until the time that she left, all of our furry family members were happy and content. Becky left the house with everything clean and in its place. Becky is not only a delight for the animals to visit with, but us too. With her delightful personality and easy going outlook we so enjoyed our visit with Becky prior to leaving for two weeks. Becky sent us wonderful photos of the fur family in their daily routines as well as written updates, which always are so reassuring to those that are away from their furry family members. Although we met on zeewoi only last year, Becky is not only a pet sitter for us but a wonderful friend. She will always have a special place in our hearts and is welcome back to sit or visit! 5 stars just seems much too small for a sitter like Becky, so we are personally giving her 10 stars and 100 hearts for being the best sitter and such a lovely person. Until next time Becky!

Molly was a great sitter for my kitties on this short sit. She arrived on time for the handover, listened intently, and was immediately comfortable with my 8 month old kittens. When I returned, everything was in order. I would have her sit again in an instant! Thanks Molly!!

Excited to spend my long summer and winter breaks in new places caring for pets
Rebecca was a great sitter! She stayed here with some family and they were all very responsible and tidy. Rebecca was great with our dog, easy to communicate with, and left our home looking like we had when we left it. Would 10/10 recommend for any house sit!

Rhonda was fantastic with my fur babies! We had an issue with our dogs food and she was so helpful and caring. We also ended up having a leak during a rainstorm and she kept us up to date on the status of that as well. We came home to a beautifully clean house and happy and loved pets! Thanks Rhonda!!!

Katherine did a great job! She arrived the prior night on time to ensure everything was ready and to hear any new information she needed to be aware of. She is very attentive, and the pets loved her. She sent me updates, to include photos of the pets. She also cleaned the bed sheets and left the house clean. Thanks Katherine!

Karen is lovely person who helped us out over Christmas for a couple of days. Unfortunately she had covid so we had to do a non contact arrival and departure. I personally like to do in inperson hand over in the beginning, but there was nothing either party could do. She sent photos of the dogs and they looked happy as can be. Why we only gave her a 4 star rating is that our house smelled of distinct smokey odor. ( we are non smokers which states clearly in our welcome guide) It took over an hour to get the smell out by opening the doors. This really upset both my husband and myself. Agian she is a lovely person and talented as she left a wood carved ornament that she made which was appreciated. all the best Kathy
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.
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!
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!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
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!
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!
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!

After dropping off our baby French bulldog I called them to check to see how he was doing as he just like one of our children. When I asked how he was I was told he was fine and was basically told if I don't hear from them then everything was okay ( no news is good news), making me think that it wasn't ok to call and check on him. When we picked him up we automatically noticed he wasn't acting right. First of all he smelled like feces and urine, and he was shaking and limping on his hind leg. Needless to say he has not been the same dog as when we dropped him off. I would never use this place again. From now on we will take him with us. He also looked like he had lost weight!!!!
We picked our dogs up today. Maybe my expectations are too high after using a facility like going to the dogs, or I just didn't understand the quality of service provided by the description in the website, but I have 2 major issues. When I got in my jeep to leave, I noticed my dogs smelled horrible, almost like they had been sitting in their own waste for 2 days. When I received my little dogs bed, it was wet, I thought it was from water spillage until I smelled it, and it was soaked with urine. They didn't even tell me it was urine. They just handed it to me like this was a normal thing. Luckily, I have leather seats in my vehicle, or I would be requesting a full refund to pay someone to get the smell out. I washed both of my dogs twice, and my lab still doesn't smell his normal self. This was exactly how I wanted to conclude my Father's Day weekend.
We’ve been using Sterling Acres since rescuing our Boxer Mollie three years ago. We have never had a negative experience. Ashley is prompt, responsive, communicative and runs a clean and professional business, but mostly she makes me feel at ease when leaving my fur child. I can relax away from her knowing she’s in good hands Mollie feels comfortable at each drop off and we feel comfortable dropping her off. The new kennel is amazing and it sounds like there’s more enrichment in the works. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sterling Acres.
Ashley took great care of my fur family (3 noisey schnauzers and an even noisier Pom/Chinese Crested) yet again! She calls them chatty, but I bless her for putting up with all the noise! Anyone looking for really good kennel care when they have to be away should give Nimh Kennel a call!❤️❤️❤️
Great Kennel, Clean, Well Maintained and animals are treated amazingly.
Our pups love visiting Sterling Acres. Ashley is the best and I am glad to have her in our area.
This was the first time leaving our dogs behind on a trip kennels were nice and clean paper work was very detailed professional and courtesy staff will use again great job
Dogs looked better when I picked them up than when I left them. Thanks, Ashley. Good job.
We love leaving our pups there. Very nice, responsive, and caring.
Boarding my dog here was one of the best decisions I ever made for her care. The owner of this kennel absolutely loves dogs and treats the dogs that stay here like they are part of his family. He spends individual time with each animal, showing them personal care and affection, and each dog has its own place to go outside whenever they want. Not only is the service great, but the price is very reasonable as well. On a personal note, our dog Mollie stayed here twice. She had been sick for some time, unfortunately, unrelated to her stay here, but she passed away unexpectedly the night prior to when she was supposed to be boarded. I contacted Mike and he offered his condolences. Then, Mike called me back and offered to help me bury my beloved pet. I cannot tell you enough how great the service is here, please do not look anywhere else for your boarding needs! Thank you Mike! Mollie loved you.
Mike is friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. I've boarded dogs with him when we're away on trips for at least 15 years and will be doing so again.
Great Price! They took good care of our little puppy Leo whole we were gone.
The owner takes time with your animal ,talks to to them and is very kind to them. Does an awsome job trimming dogs claws
My dog loves it here, great accommodations and great care.
