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.

Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
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.
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
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!
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.
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.

My dog’s first day at Dog Party went great! I was nervous since she has bad separation anxiety, but the facility did a wonderful job making her feel welcomed and safe! They called half way through the day to give an update on how she was doing which made all my worries about her anxiety go away! Honey Lemon seemed to have a blast with all the other dogs! We plan to continue taking her to Dog Party!
The people are wonderful—caring, conscientious, responsible. Great communication. They were so good to our shy border collie and worked with him with amazing patience and kindness. The facilities are topnotch. We are super excited to join the Dog Party USA family!
Dog Party USA is the only boarding facility I trust with my Great Dane. They are very tentative, caring wonderful people. My Brody is always happy to go there. If anything happens to come up they are so great at letting me know. I appreciate them so much and I highly recommend them! I really enjoy getting to watch him on the camera while he is playing outside. That’s a super plus for me! Thanks again!
I was very impressed with my first visit. I wanted to get my dog to be social with other dogs. He is very comfortable with people. They explained everything and I came back to get him. He will need to have more time around dogs. I will be grateful to get him where he can see that he can have more than one friend.
The staff is very compassionate. They were so nice to our dog and made sure that she was comfortable. The owner took time to personally ensure that everything went well on our dogs first day.
Our 18 pound terrier had a wonderful time, including lunch, a nail trim, and hours of energetic fun with dogs and staff. Back at home, she slept happily for the rest of the day. The staff is also energetic, courteous, and capable in seeing after Stella and all of the other guests at the dog party. The plan and program for this service is very nicely thought out and executed. The only thing that could improve it would be a 30 minute Zen experience for the dog, with a slow full body massage, under scents of steaming beef tenderloin, accompanied by quiet, slow piano music.
The people at Dog PartyUSA are amazing!! They genuinely care for your pup like their own. They took such good care of our fur baby. She almost looked like she didn’t want to leave! Thank you so much!!
Gracie had such a good time at Dog Party USA!!! I’m grateful for loving people who take care of the pups when they’re in their care.🐶 …
Chaddie and the whole DogPartyUSA team did a great job taking extra care with my very anxious Great Dane puppy. They used pheromones to help settle her upon our arrival and they took several extra steps to gain her trust and give her confidence at her speed. They offered us good feed back and directions for making her daycare and boarding needs successful.
Our dog Zeus Loves Dog Party! He has been partying there since he was old enough to party! 😜 The staff always takes great care of him and he comes home ready to relax! …
Vanessa is the best. I picked up Chester (twice now), and his fur was softer than we've ever gotten it. My wife tells me he smells great, too, though I can't smell. The second time, Chester was there alone, so she made sure her Yorkie was available to play with him. As said in other reviews, there is ample space both inside and out. Our little Leo is in one of the pictures in the Google listing. We will always use NWA Bed & Biscuit.
My 10 year old, sweet baby May has never had a more home-like, comfortable, happy environment to stay and play. The house is adorable and the yard is big and secure. She enjoyed the freedom of using a doggie door as she pleased but they also have indoor heavy duty kennels for unnattended/ nighttime safety. The owners live on the property, are very attentive and care for the dogs as if they are their own. I will be bringing my baby here again and again.
We are so thrilled to find such a lovely, well thought-out pet-resort for our labradoodle! From the huge shaded fenced-in yard, in a beautiful country setting, with safe k9 play equipment and a covered patio, to the safe and spotless pet friendly home with comfy amenities. Our doggie is often finicky and won’t t eat if she’s sad - but she actually ate her meal the first day she visited! Owner, Vanissa was so friendly and accommodating. We definitely recommend NWA Bed & Biscuit!
NWA Bed & Biscuit is nothing short of amazing! They take such wonderful care of my 17-year-old dachshund, Gitsie, who can be quite a handful. Gitsie is a picky eater and on a vast medical regimen, but the team at NWA treats her like the queen ween she is. From her special homemade meals to lounging on the couch barking at the TV, they cater to her every need. Gitsie even enjoys swimming and patrolling their expansive fenced yard. I have such peace of mind knowing she’s safe, comfortable, and truly enjoying herself. NWA Bed & Biscuit is Gitsie’s home away from home, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with her care!
We've had some not-so-great experiences in the past when boarding pets at other places and because of that I've been pretty picky when it comes to trusting someone to watch our girls. After our first visit to NWA Bed & Biscuit, I knew I didn't have to worry anymore. Vanessa is absolutely amazing and she spoils every pup just like they are her own. Both of our girls just love her and her family. When they are there, I know they are being cared for just like they would be at home. We are very lucky to have this daycare/boarding option here in NWA!
I highly recommend Morgan! I was anxious about having my cats looked after by someone I didn’t know. I have 3 cats who all have different diets and one needs medication. Morgan came for a meet and greet and was warm, personable, and professional. She communicated with me each time she went to my home for a visit and sent pictures of my kitties while I was away. She handled all their needs seamlessly. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!
I cannot recommend PETrepreneur enough. Morgan is amazing with my cat and dog. My only complaint is that my dog Rufus seems to love her more than me now. She took care of everything that was expected, but there was so much more. I received the cutest little video of Rufus and Kiko. She loves animals and is passionate about her work. It shows. Leaving town is not a big worry anymore thanks to Morgan. Thank you Morgan. We want to have you over for dinner soon.
I've used PETrepreneur for over a year now.HIGHLY recommend! When I go out of town, they have taken care of my cats, given them all the love, and made sure all their needs were taken care of. Recently, I've been utilizing the daily check-ins for my two dogs during the day and it's been a relief from some of the stress on both myself and the dogs after returning to the office. Morgan is great about letting me know how all the animals are doing (regardless of the service you pick) by sending texts, photos, and videos. They REALLY love playtime with her. She is the only person who has ever entered my house with a key with the dogs home alone besides myself, so I was a bit worried. We did a meet and greet beforehand and she assured me everything would be ok. Very happy to report that it was indeed ok and they have made fast friends. I appreciate the great service, flexibility when needed, and of course, for treating my pets like your own.
Morgan watched my heeler for my while I worked for a few weeks and took phenomenal care of her. She sent me amazing pictures and videos each day to let me know my pup was okay and went above and beyond with exercising and spending quality time with her. I can’t thank you enough, Morgan. I highly recommend hiring Petrepreneur for your next dog sitter. Thanks again, Morgan. Be well
Morgan is awesome! She takes care of my two unruly dogs often when I’m away. She is consistent, reliable, and her communication is great!
I have been with with PETreprenuer for over a year and there is nobody else I would use. Not only are they great for my dog, but they also go above and beyond each time they clean my house. I cannot recommend them enough!
