I can’t tell you how lucky I feel that Barbara and John were available for my housesit. They were so fabulous on their first sit two years ago that I actually reached out to them to see if they would sit for me again on this trip – luckily they were! My cat is very fond of both of them. It was also wonderful to come home to a meticulously clean house, especially after a 27 hour travel day. They even bought fresh milk, eggs and bread so we would not have to run out first thing when we got home. Barb and John will continue to be my first choice whenever we travel!

Matt is a great sitter and clearly loves what he does. He communicated with me often about my cat's comings and goings. He left my home cleaner than I think it was when I left. And he gave me a photo gift of Nola, as well. Very pleased!

Active, newly retired, pet-loving, responsible couple, able to travel and available to provide Peace
Pennee and Bill were excellent sitters for Guga. They arrived the night before our trip so we could enjoy dinner and getting to know each other. They kept us informed with photos about Guga and his escapades to the beach, on his walks at Dolphin Head or just cuddling with them at home. Our home was immaculate and our plants were all doing well. Thank you Pennee and Bill for your stay with Guga. Hope to see you soon in the future. Cheers 😎😎😎

Responsible, kind, and communicative sitter ready to provide excellent care
My experience with Nicole was excellent! She was great with my cat, Mojo who was happy and healthy when I returned home. The house was in lovely order and she even picked up eggs and toilet paper for when I got back. She sent pictures and updates on Mojo and only reached out with questions when necessary. I had an evening with Nicole before I left town and found her to be a thoroughly delightful person. I will ask her to house sit again for me for sure.

Life Experiences Matter
Daniela was the perfect choice for a couple of newbies to zeewoi. Daniela is an experienced, worldly, confident, fun-loving, dog/people person who made us feel comfortable leaving our pups in her care from the second she walked through the door! Of course, it didn’t hurt that she baked sweet and savory treats for our travels. I think the most telling observation is that our dogs did not miss us one bit! They were right at home with Daniela. We returned to a clean home and happy pups. What more can you ask? Thank you, Daniela, for a worry-free trip!

Caring, loving , energetic , friendly solo traveller ready for adventure!
Jill is like family now.💕We are always so happy to have her back - she knows our home and our neighbors and the routine, the pets love her and she is sweet and organized and efficient. She always sends delightful pics of Bert and Ollie and Piper and Lucy and this time was no different - lots of action pics of the pups running on the island behind our house and I could almost smell the pic of whatever Burt rolled in. Thank goodness for the outdoor shower. We love having her come a day early to catch up on her latest sits and adventures and because she had done several sits in Vermont, she brought us maps and gave us a ton of fun recommendations to do on our trip. Truly a special lady. As always Jill, we appreciate you and love having you here.

I am a trusted house sitter, stress free, caring and sweet.
Jessica cheerfully endured a sit where she had to deal with a lot of rainy weather and a dog who likes to go on walks regardless of the weather - he’s a Lab, so I think he actually enjoys the rain! She maintained such a good attitude about everything and she sent several photos of the two of them snuggling on the couch when they were stuck indoors. I should also mention that she is excellent with communication during the sit, and she left my house very neat and clean. I felt that Hudson got lots of loving attention and was very well-cared-for. I would recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a great sitter!

Mature, Reliable, Nurturing Lover of Animals. Peace of mind for you & your pets.
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!

Ellen and Chris took care of my cat for 4 days while they were travelling in Europe. All was as agreed and the cat seemed fine as well as my place. They were nice and very self-sufficient.

Experienced, reliable sitter who loves the comfort of home & adventure of travel
Jobie and Aby area as fun couple who did a great job from start to end. As veteran sitters, they exhibited full confidence in and understanding of everything I wanted and asked. They immediately developed a good relationship with my pets, and it was an immediate comfort to know they truly cared about the animals. They also took good care of the house, and left it clean and tidy! Recommended!
"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.
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
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!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
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.
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
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.
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 .

My pups have loved spending time with Jessica at Happy Paws. I recently moved back to the area, and needed to find a good doggy day care. My pups are rescues with a history some anxiety at times. Jessica has been wonderful about making them feel understood & comfortable. I can see how happy they are when they realize we are back at Happy Paws to play. It’s invaluable to have such a great place for my fur babies.
I travel a lot with my dogs so I always have to find a good place for them to stay while I do my own thing. Happy Paws is the perfect place to keep your loved pets if you want them enjoy your vacation as much as you do, if not more! They are very reasonably priced and they work hard to make your dogs enjoy their stay. I always hate boarding dogs at kennels that charge extra for more play time but Happy Paws seems to make sure that your dogs get plenty of exercise with other dogs. The owners are very friendly and they do a great job of accommodating to your dogs' needs. I picked up my puppies in the morning, and they were already wiped out from running around before I came over. That's the way it should be! They even told me the issues that may have occurred (my dogs are friendly but one of mine tend to try to show dominance once in a while and they told me about those times. It wasn't a major problem but it's nice to know the owners are honest about that) As long as your pups are friendly and good with playing, then you need to check out this place. The owners treat your pups as if they are one of their own, and you can't ask for better than that. If you are in the area and need want your fur kids to have an awesome vacation while you're away, definitely check this place out. One of the best boarding experiences I've ever had. Thank you!
I cannot speak highly enough of Jessica and Dustin and their loving care they give to the dogs. I had a special one, fearful of people , never boarded except at a womans house who could no longer handle his energy due to her age. Jessica worked very, very, very hard with my guy and now he even gives her a kiss!!! Her kennel/home is very clean with lots of room for the dogs to play. She goes the extra mile to protect all the dogs, and is sure they are compatible before allowing them out to run and play. I am eternally grateful that she took my guy on and now if I need to leave town I know he will be happy. It's just he and I and I want him to be well cared for. She takes care of the dogs as if they were her own. I believe her background in wildlife rehabilitation helps her really understand them. Your simply the best!!!!!
We used Happy Paws to board our dogs for almost a week when we got married and are so glad we did! We have two dogs and they were able to be boarded together with some home comforts such as toys that we bought! Our dogs were in such good hands, and we received daily updates! That was such a nice extra that helped this boarding facility stand out among the rest! Happy Paws will be our go to boarding from now on! Not mention both dogs came home smelling great from the bath at the end of the week! Our pug and corgi gave their stay 4 paws up!!
I am very particular about who I leave my dogs with. Dustin and Jessie are big animal lovers to not just their own dogs but other dogs well. My dogs had a great visit at Happy Paws and I will not hesitate to take them back next time I’m out of town. I highly recommend the Happy Paws Dog Den. They will love your babies just as you do!
Happy Paws is a great place to board dogs! Our two anxious dogs love it there. Jessica really understands dog behavior and how to make every dog feel welcome and comfortable. We have used many dog boarding facilities and Happy Paws is the best.
Highly recommend this dog care facility for that other member of family. We have kept our dog with them for many months. We have seen wonderful improvement in our dog socially as the owners carefully match dog personalities, and work with each one's situation. Jessie, the co-owner with her husband Dustin have recently gone to great lengths to expand their facility while raising the bar of care for all the dogs that stay with them. Between them they have many years of dog care service, in both a veterinarian and short/long term dog stay care facility. Give them a shot with your pet...you won't be sorry.
We really prefer to take our guys along but sometimesthat just can't be done. This past weekend we attended an out of state wedding and left our dogs with Jess and Dustin. I never worried about their care, got regular updates and came back to happy dogs! Happy paws dog den is perfect with spacious clean facility, kennels like mini bedrooms, big hilly yard (just what they are used to) and lots of features to keep our guys safe and happy. We will definitely use them again.
Our dogs loved staying with Jessica during an extended stay. Jessica did an amazing job taking care of our senior dog who has special needs. She helped our shy dog socialize with the other dogs too. We loved the updates and communication. Thank you Jessica!
We had a wonderful experience with Happy Paws. Our dog is a senior lady Bassett Hound with medical needs. Jessie and Dustin were very accommodating to her needs. We were able to take a worry free vacation as they updated us daily with texts and pictures. We highly recommend Happy Paws!!!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience with Susie Q. Susie is a very energetic 1 year old golden doodle, and I was afraid I was going to get a call telling me to come get her before she tore the place down. Instead, I got texts and photos every day of how much fun she was having. Blue Ridge Boarding is a class act from beginning to end. I knew Susie was safe and loved. I highly recommend Blue Ridge Boarding to anyone wanting their pup to be taken care of by someone who will treat them as if they are their own. Susie Q has found her home away from home. Five stars isn’t enough!
Five stars is not enough for Blue Ridge Boarding! They deserve so much more! Our fur babies are loved and cared for beyond anything we could imagine. We are so thankful for the excellent care, extreme cleanliness, and expert knowledge of animals and how to meet their individual needs. The pictures and videos they send to you are reassurance that your babies will be loved. We used them while my husband had surgery and just the relief of knowing they were loved allowed us to focus on healing and getting over surgery. Teri & Karl are wonderful and we are blessed to have them in our area. We love them and call them friends!
I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! We left our dogs there for an extended weekend and it was the best experience! We received daily pictures and updates on our pups and they were always happy and playing! We have never boarded our dogs before, and we will definitely be bringing them back for our next out of town trip! I could tell they were comfortable and very well cared for. Thank you Teri, from the bottom of our hearts, for caring for our pups so well🤍
Highly Recommend!!! This was our first experience boarding a dog in over 20 years and we were a little nervous but after doing a visit to Blue Ridge Boarding and talking to Teri, we felt more comfortable. We just had our pup there for two weeks and Teri was absolutely amazing! We got daily updates and pictures; we felt that our puppy got so much attention and affection we didn’t worry at all! She was very happy staying there, we weren’t sure she wanted to come back home! We highly recommend Blue Ridge Boarding! We already have two more stays planned for our pup and we will not be worried at all! We know our puppy will be excited to go and very well cared for!
We were so thankful to find out about Blue Ridge Boarding. We recently boarded our dogs there for a week and we were so very pleased. Teri loved them like her own. The daily updates, pictures and videos were great! Our dogs came home happy and that made us happy. We look forward to boarding with them again and are scheduled to board three more times already! Thank you, Blue Ridge Boarding for your attention to detail and the love you pour into what you do!
I was apprehensive about leaving my yellow lab, Jordan while my family & I went on vacation. Blue Ridge Boarding was recommended on Facebook. The wonderful reviews plus location in comparison to my house sold me. It was the best decision for my dog. Teri was so sweet to her and kept me updated on Jordan with photos and videos. Would definitely recommend to other and will be using Blue Ridge Boarding again!!
I have never used a boarding facility with Millie Joe, my little yorkie because I honestly didn’t trust anyone. I was always blessed with family who would care for her/watch her. With family, we could never travel together because of this, and we wanted to take the kids on a cruise. I was worried sick with who I would find to watch her. I found blue ridge boarding facility through work/friends, and I could not have been more impressed with Teri and her husband. They have a great set up, very clean, and safe. Super nice honestly!! They took care of Millie as if she was their own fur child. I could not say enough great things about our experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing doggie boarding. I will definitely feel much better now knowing that we have someone who can care for her while traveling. If you want to travel and feel comfortable knowing your fur child is in the best hands, choose Teri @blue ridge boarding llc. You will not be disappointed or regret it. I appreciate everything including the updates each morning and throughout the day, the pics, and the Facebook post. I could rest assure that Millie was happy and doing well with her. Not only is Teri an amazing lady, so kind, she also has so much experience with dogs. This made me feel completely comfortable because I knew that if something did happen, she would have the knowledge to get Millie the care she needed. I was so worried before talking to her and she answered so many questions, gave me so much reassurance, and helped me feel better the entire process. Teri didn’t make me feel like the crazy dog mom that I can be sometimes, and made my feelings/concerns valid. I felt like family and was treated even better. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will definitely choose blue ridge boarding from now on. ❤️
I recently had the pleasure of boarding my dogs at Blue Ridge Boarding and I am thoroughly impressed with the exceptional care they received. From the moment we arrived, the staff's dedication to the well-being of the animals was evident. The facility was spotless and well-organized, with plenty of space for the dogs to play and relax. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my dogs felt at home. They took the time to get to know each dog’s unique needs and preferences, which made a significant difference in their comfort and happiness. Regular updates and photos reassured me that my pets were not only being well cared for but were also enjoying their stay. The personalized attention they provided was outstanding. My dogs received ample exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, and it was clear they were treated with the utmost kindness and respect. Overall, Blue Ridge Boarding offers a level of care that surpasses expectations. I returned to find my dogs happy, healthy, and clearly having had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this kennel to any pet owner looking for a top-notch boarding experience.
This was our first experience with boarding our puppy, Maverick. I was apprehensive about it at first and called to see if we could have a look around the property before deciding to let him stay. Teri was very accommodating to let us come and gave us a tour of the kennel with all the information we needed to make the decision. The kennel is clean and very secure. While he was there, she kept me updated on how he was doing, which was very reassuring for me since he is still a pup and I wasn't sure how he would respond to being left with someone he wasn't well acquainted with . She assured me that he did well and treated him as her own. I would highly recommend Blue Ridge Boarding and look forward to taking our fur baby back in the future!
Teri and Blue Ridge Boarding in general are wonderful. I got updates about my dog during my trip. When he had a Hotspot come up on his leg, which is usual for him, she contacted me immediately for permission to aid him. I felt so secure my entire vacation! I will be using BRB LLC from now on!
The staff at Fetching Ridge consistently goes above and beyond for my sweet golden retriever pup, Louie, and I. One of the trainers, Emma, is so kind, gentle and caring that Louie practically leaps out his harness every time he sees her! …
I bring my dogs here to get their toenails trimmed regularly. The staff are very friendly and use an easy manner when dealing with my one dog who hates her nails done. They understand she is upset and talk to her and get things done without any issues. Great Job Ladies!
Do not put your pets in these peoples hands! This business does its best to remove negative reviews to paint a better picture that what actually occurs. They will claim you’re not in their system to deflect any negativity rather than …
My dog loves coming to Fetching Ridge! The staff really get to know your dog, their quirks and preferences, and all of their needs. I always feel good about leaving my pup in their hands when I go out of town, and the staff is so accommodating and willing to work with me when unexpected things arise.
This place Is absolutely ridiculous. They waited til the day before boarding to tell us our vaccination proof was not sufficient that it needed to have a due date for the next one on the form. Keep in mind this came from a vets office and …
I've been taking my dog there for a year or so now and he loves it (and me too)! Everytime he realizes where we are going he gets super excited and never gets tired of it.The employees are so loving towards him and friendly to me as well! A …
We loved Fetching Ridge when they did grooming. We are dog-less right now, but will certainly use them should we need boarding! The staff was always attentive, caring, and professional.
The staff was easy to work with, communicated with us while we were gone, our puppies were all clean when we picked them up. Job well done Fetching Ridge!
I love this place! I’ve boarded my dog Milo here a couple times and they always take wonderful care of him and send me pictures! My dog enjoys the times he’s boarded here and always come back to me happy and healthy! I highly recommend this business for anyone wanting to board their pet at a trustworthy, high quality place!
We used this kennel twice, and both times we picked our very loving and social dog from this kennel she would shake and cry the entire rest of the day. She was not supervised well, because no one could tell me what her experience was like …
