Mike was the best. - I’m pretty sure our dog was sad to see him go he took such good care of her. His communication is great. If you get the chance to have Mike sit for you - take him.

This was our second time having Mercedes pet / house sit for us and once again she was amazing. Super organized, meticulous, clean and tidy, and updated us on our pets throughout her stay. I highly recommend Mercedes!!

Not all dog lovers can care for the large breed dogs. You can't just pick them up to fix a problem. And they tend to drool. Betsy was just marvelous with Byron. He likes to get out to walk or ride around in the car. He is a nosy thing. Betsy was able to find his best self. She sent lots of pictures. The house looked the same as we left it. I could not ask for more. We appreciated all she did to allow us to take a vacation without worry.

Honest, hard working teacher and nurse, available to take good care of your home
Amerlia was a god send. She communicated clearly and had promised that she will arrive 9am before I left on the 6th. She came even before time. She was taking care of two dogs. My son's dog Klay was very needy and both the dogs were full of energy. Amelia took them for trail walking, beach and did lots of activities with them. When I came back on the 10th, both the dogs looked very content. Thnak you Amelia for your wonderful service.

Brittany was great! I was gone for about a month which is the longest I have been away from my pets. She asked minimal questions and sent me picture updates of the pets throughout my trip which was appreciated. I would certainly welcome her back into my home again to care for my pets.

Lover of travel and animals is ready to get back out into the world
Stacy and Chris were the best house/dog sitters we could have hoped for. When we first met via video chat Stacy was very thorough in asking questions and it was clear she really prioritized the health and safety of our dogs. She immediately put me at ease for my first experience using this platform. While we were away, Stacy and Chris were wonderful with our dogs and taking care of our house, as well as very accommodating of our travel plans when it came to arrival and departure times. They made friends with our dogs right away (including the skittish one who usually takes a few days) and were great about walking them and letting them out at regular intervals. The dogs didn't even have any indoor accidents, which doesn't always happen even when we are home. Stacy also sent us pictures and updates about the dogs each day we were gone. It was the perfect amount of contact to let us know that our dogs and house were well taken care of. We knew we didn't have to worry about anything while we were away. In terms of the house, they were more than willing to help with maintenance, like bringing in packages, taking out the trash, and even sending me a picture of a recipe I forgot to bring with me. Our trip was so much more relaxing knowing that Stacy and Chris were taking such good care of things. When we returned home our house was spotless and the dogs seemed very happy. The only problem is that I think the dogs might miss them! I would absolutely recommend Stacy & Chris as sitters. We've had many different experiences with sitters in the past and this has been one of the best. Stacy and Chris proved themselves to be extremely reliable and trustworthy, as well as people who really care for and treat animals right.

Travel and Pet Lover Available Worldwide
Lisa is a true animal lover and especially a cat lady in the best meaning of the term, and my two kitties would agree. She was reliable and organized and communicative and very adoring and attentive to the fur babies. She kept them hoppy and entertained and very well-groomed, and sent me fun photos of them to keep my mind at peace. I would totally invite her again to look after Pumpkin and Gremlin, and I recommend her to anyone who frets over their pets like I do.

Looking to babysit the world's most cutest pets ever.
Tammy was incredible with communication. She asked and took daily photos and texts of our pets while we were away. We came home to an immaculately cleaned home (I can't even clean it to the level we came home to!!!) Tammy had dinner ready for us when we arrived home. The night we got home my dogs were calm and confused where to sleep, hence I KNEW they loved her being with them. I cannot recommend her enough! We were truly blessed to have her care for our dogs, chickens and home.
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
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!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.

Our dog is always in great hands at Zorba kennel! They have a wonderful setup, and it makes me feel confident that my dog has a wonderful pupcation with friends when we are away! Spring break stay last year they did a photo shoot!!
Our pup is always so excited to visit Zorba. He loves the staff and playtime with the other dogs. We have utilized both vacation boarding and daycare. This week we had to go out of town last minute and Zorba was able to give Jax a great stay instead of being crated alone at home. It was comforting to know he was well cared for in an enriched environment. He was all smiles when we picked him up. Thank you Zorba Team, your service is much appreciated.
We love Zorba!!!! Our dog, Rip has stayed there twice now! And we feel so comfortable leaving him there when we go places or on vacation somewhere. Hands down the best and cost friendly place! Everyone there is so nice and friendly and gives our pup the space he needs when it’s needed.
Awesome staff great service and treatment for your fuzzy friends. We take our dog here 4-5 days a week cuz she is temperamental at home alone and we also use their services when we go on vacation our dogs love it she is excited in the morning to go daily
Zorba Kennel is the only place to take your pets!! Like many, my two dogs are an important part of our family and we don't trust their care with just anyone. A few times a month, we need to travel on the weekends and can leave knowing that they are in the best care possible! We know that TC and Eris LOVE going and LOVE the people there! They love the play time with the other dogs and attention they receive. They burn off lots of energy and come home happy. I wish I could leave more than five stars!
The staff was nice and worked well with me for pick up and drop off times. They took good care of my 10 week old puppy. He was very happy when we picked him up and in the picture they had on Facebook. I will definitely go back if we need someone to care for our puppy.
I absolutely 💯 % recommend Zorba Kennel. I am always impressed with the care, quality and kindness they give my dogs and I. Kristine and her crew are AMAZING. Thank you , thank you, thank you for everything. If you need a quality place for your pet look no further. …
Our dog loves going to daycare here and is always so excited to walk through the door! It's convenient to have a place he is comfortable staying overnight when needed as well. 10/10 recommend taking your pets here!
My dog has been going to daycare here for months, and he loves it!! He always comes home happy and tired from playing with the other dogs. When he gets a bath here, he smells so fresh and has these big, beautiful curls! It’s an amazing kennel with amazing people who take great care of the dogs.
My Sheepadoodle loved her time at Zorba Kennel and was so happy to play with the other dogs. It was clean and very comfortable and the staff was great. Their boarding prices were very reasonable too and they fit us in with very little notice. I will definitely bring Chloe back again!
Definitely recommend this kennel! I’ve boarded my dog multiple times! Each time I drop him off, he’s always super excited to see the girls! If you’re looking for a trustworthy, well kept kennel definitely visit Windy Acres! Also the grooming services are great and I 100% recommend Shyann!
Love the girls at Windy Acres! My dog has severe separation anxiety and never could stand being around other people without barking or running away. Now after a month of doggy daycare he wags his tails at the girls when we come in and now has started warming up to other people. They are super accommodating and let me bring his blanket and favorite toys with him and they even bathed him for me ❤️ worth any and every cent!
This is the kennel I will be using to board my dogs from now on. I have tried other kennels and never felt good leaving my dogs there. One of my dogs doesn’t like other dogs and I was always made to feel bad about that. When I called this kennel she said they deal with it all the time and it wouldn’t be a problem. I felt comfortable having them watch my dogs and they even got a complementary bath so they smelled good and were all clean when I picked them up. The staff is wonderful and really put my mind at ease. They even said I could call and get updates on how the dogs were doing if I was worried about them. Because of this, I was able to enjoy myself on vacation and felt confident my dogs were in good hands.
We have used Windy Acres multiple times now..we love and trust this kennel so much. They have always taken care of our GSP, and he always comes home happy, exhausted (in a good way) and smelling amazing! We have used another kennel once and the experience was underwhelming. Our dog came back smelling like he laid in his pee for 5 days..We will only use Windy Acres from now on. My brother also used them Labor Day weekend along with us and they let the pups even play together during play time. We were even able to call and check up on both pups and how they were doing together..They really love your pets like their own. Highly recommend!
Windy Acres was great with boarding our medical marvel elder cat for 2 weeks. Our old lady has given other boarding services some behavioral trouble, but the staff at Windy Acres are truly talented and reported no problem working with her. We especially appreciated the opening hour on the weekend to be able to pick up our kitty ASAP when we returned. Thank you!
I have boarded my two dogs at Windy Acres probably a dozen times over the past several years, and I always have a good experience. The staff is very friendly and you can tell they all really love animals. The kennels are large and I appreciate the option of boarding dogs in the same kennel so they are together. My dogs do come home stressed out, but I believe that is just because of the experience of being in a kennel/around strange dogs and not anything to do with the care the staff provides.
Wendy Acres Kennels is a fantastic choice for dog boarding! I recently boarded my dog there, and I was thoroughly impressed. Not only did they provide a safe and comfortable environment, but my dog also received a bath, which was a wonderful bonus. The staff is incredibly caring and kind, making sure every dog feels at home. The value for the service is outstanding, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I highly recommend Wendy Acres Kennels to anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry friends.
Would not recommend. We’ve boarded two of our dogs here twice. The first time was fine, neither bad nor great. The second time however, both of our dogs came home with KENNEL COUGH which then infected our other dog and our cat. All of our animals are vaccinated. Please beware if you’re planning on bringing your fur babies here.
My dog seemed happy with Nikki. He was kissing her when we picked him up. We went back a second time, Nikki wasn't there unfortunately. Didn't have a good experience this time. Dog came home so thirsty. Never have seen him drink water like that. And they didn't feed him breakfast. And none of his treats. They gave him a bath, that we didn't ask for
Absolutely trust the care for our two beagles at Windy Acres. Clean sectioned off dog runs indoor comfort winter or summer as well as easy independent access for dogs doing their outdoor needs. Super kind staff who can walk the dogs in a natural setting for those curious noses to explore! Thanks so much for taking such good care of our puppy dogs. Jerry
