Lovell, Pennsylvania
Looking forward to meeting you & your furry family! :)
Cara was a lovely pet sitter for Roxy. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and Roxy was relaxed. Cara committed only a couple days before we left and it was a seamless sit. Recommend!

Furbaby Gramma and Grampa on the move. Let us take care so you can have fun!
Christine was just a wonderful sitter for our sweet Sadie. She can be a challenge, Aussie and Border Collie, but t seemed like she was well under control and everyone had a good time. Our neighbors commented on the frequency of her walks. Thanks for everything.

David and Pam and the boys could not have been any more wonderful! They took excellent care of our senior dog Sam, took him for walks and paid a lot of attention to him. I think he was sad when they left. We also had 5 cows and 2 donkeys who appreciated their attention. They left our home in immaculate condition, and Pam had baked us a loaf of sourdough bread to enjoy upon our return. I love that David communicated with us regularly, sent updates and pics daily. We are very grateful that the McIntires traveled all the way from Pennsylvania to care our home and dog and livestock! They are the best!!
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 am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
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.
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!
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!

Even though our dog couldn't be boarded here. Fred is an awesome person. His knowledge about animals is amazing. Wish our dog wasn't so cage aggressive, or we would be using Best Friends all the time.
Love Best Friends! Our dog is four years old and we only recently had to board her. Fred was so good with her and even had a pre-board meet and greet to be sure she was familiar with him and her temporary surroundings. He really knows his dogs and makes sure they are well looked after. We will definitely be coming here every time we need boarding. 😊
My Rottie Gunner was at Best Friends Pet Care for 9 days while we were out of town on vacation. Fred was very professional and our Dog took to him immediately. It’s a great place to have your pet be safely watched! Everything is very inviting and clean and his prices are phenomenal! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a place to board your pet. We will be using his services again absolutely!!
Fred has kept my dog, Winston, several times. His facility is well kept and welcoming. Fred is a definite pet lover. Winston doesn’t warm to strangers quickly and was a bit apprehensive at first but now does quite well with Fred. Fred is very accommodating and would be given a 10 star rating if possible. He doesn’t mind my calling to check on Winston. He is quick to respond if I leave a message. Fred is #1 in pet care.
Fred was kind and friendly. He took the time to go over the care he gives our dog. He has good prices for the services he provides. If you are in need of a board for your pet and want someone to take good care of them. This is a perfect place!
Fred is very attentive to our dog, Luna. She is always happy to stay at Best Friend Pet Center. She actually pulls to go inside. We are confident that she is safe and well cared for during her visits. We highly recommend Best Friends. We have learned some good tips from Fred for the care of Luna. His knowledge of dogs is superior!
My pup absolutely loved staying at Fred's for the weekend! He was such a pleasure to work with and loved our dog as his own! We'll be using his facility every time we go out of town. Thank you, Fred!
I have taken my dog, Faith, to Fred at Best Friends a few times now. I do not board her to often but am so glad to have found Best Friends. Fred is wonderful to work with, his place is very clean and he really seems to care for the animals. Faith comes home with no issues and seems happy:)
I had an extremely bizarre experience. I arrived 15 minutes early to drop off my four dogs to be boarded for a long weekend. My dogs had been there before and had a seemingly decent time except for when he "fasted" my two labs for 24 hours because he couldn't figure out which one had an accident. Really? Anyway, Fred seemed to care about the dogs so I brought them back. This time was quite different. Upon my early arrival he abruptly met me in the parking lot and insisted he couldn't take my dogs early because he was still registering other dogs...my parent's dogs. I explained that I had my four dogs in the car and my 9 month old baby and would appreciate if we could start unloading etc. He insisted that wouldn't work, raised his voice at me, and told me to come back15 minutes later. Needless to say I got back in the car, canceled my reservation and took my dogs to Paws N' Claws in Girard and they were cared for very well. Though he is taking care of dogs, I am a paying and customer service should be considered. I will not board my dogs there again.
This was the first time that we ever boarded Zona and I was very nervous. Fred made everything easier and was super organized with lots of good tips. I was impressed at how clean and quiet the kennels were. Zona had a good time and I would definitely recommend best friends pet care.
I recently brought my two dogs here while I went on a trip. I have always been hesitant to kennel my dogs in the past, as it seems they always came home with some kind of issue. I usually opt to have a friend stay with them but nobody was available this time. I have been following Hounds On The Hill on Facebook ever since they opened and love the fact that they share pictures of their establishment and the pets who come to visit for the day or an extended stay. The legit online reviews and feedback from people who have taken their pets here further assured me that my dogs would be safe in their care. When I pick my dogs up, they were happy and healthy, well exercised, were not covered in fecal matter or dirt or fleas, and neither of them had stomach issues upon returning home. This tells me that the owners are attentive, caring, and actually do spend time with the dogs while they are in their care, ensuring that stress levels for pets are low. I am confident that my dogs received love and attention daily. The facility is clean, welcoming, and well maintained. The owners, Jim and Kathy, are phenomenal pet caregivers! Both of my dogs have vitamins they take everyday, but different dosages, and one of my dogs had antibiotics she needed to take. Jim was very accommodating and wrote everything down and these supplements were distributed as requested. I got text updates with pictures and felt very much at ease leaving my dogs with the Kesterholts while I was away. There is not a question of if my dogs will return, but when! Top notch, five star, highly recommend! Thank you Jim and Kathy!
Topper waits by the car to go to Hounds. The dogs come home exercised and loved on. We never really considered using a doggy daycare until we had heard of Hounds on the Hill, and realized what a local gem we had. There is no place that compares!
We boarded our two dogs the past 2 weekends. The facilities are clean and well maintained. I've used other locations in the area. I chose Hounds on the Hill because I wanted my dogs somewhere they can spend time outside. Jim is kind and I could tell right away he cares about the dogs he boards. He texted me with updates and pictures which I really appreciated. I will definitely board my dogs here again!
My husband and I have had our four dogs boarded on multiple occasions for long time stays. I would never trust anyone but Hounds on the Hill Pet Lodge to care for our dogs. When they are there I know they are well taken care of, get time to play together, have plenty of exercise, and a comfortable place to sleep and stay together. We even receive texts and/or phone calls with any immediate question and just general updates to keep our minds at ease (and cute pictures). Our boys are like our children; and we except the best care for them, and we know they get that at the pet lodge! Thanks Jim, KK, and Ethan!
On 8/9/24 went to pick up my dogs at this kennel - I had kenneled 3 dogs - and 2 of them were dead. the owner called me while in route there to say he had "just went in the back to check on the 2 littles and they were both gone". Lead me to believe they had died in their sleep. When I got there, he still let me believe he didn't know what happened. They were in the kennel on their bed - with all other dogs locked in kennels by time we arrived. But my dogs did not die in their sleep -they were attacked. Report shows pretty vicious attack. People protect your dogs. Please Vet said at least 12 bites around head and neck for Rock and 4 bites around torso - chest and belly for Pebbles. He is trying to say my other dog who is younger and nonaggressive and actively grieving them - was only one with them. They were her pack for over 7 years. They were Raised together. Nope. Why didn't he protect my furbabies and why didn't he at least try to give them some care - take them to vets? Anything? no - he put them back in their kennel. He could have saved them! His job was to take care of them. Why didn’t he? Where was the care and concern for them. There wasn’t any! Look at those fur babies. Dead At Hounds On The Hill The truth will come out. I miss them so much.
We left our puppy Willow at hounds on the hills for a weeks vacation we were hesitant to leave her anywhere because she was young but I have known the owners for years and new she was would be in good hands and after seeing the facility and leaving her for a play date before we left I knew she would be alright, and at her age I was worried she would be a handful as she was very energetic and loved her play time. They kept me updated the entire time we were out of the country, even just an occasional picture of her playing with other dogs here and there. She was in great hands and if we have to board her again she will definitely be back.
I have boarded our dogs at Hounds on the Hill twice now and they have been absolutely wonderful!! You can tell from the moment you meet the owners how much they truly care for animals. And the facility is always clean and well maintained. They are always adding new things for the animals and make sure they are comfortable, entertained, and well cared for each and every time. They ask questions and take note of any concerns you may have. And also go above and beyond to send photos and updates of your fur babies while you are away. That is always a nice surprise when you are missing their sweet faces. Hounds has been so great to our girls and the only place I feel comfortable leaving them other than with our family. Thank you for treating our fur babies like your own!🩷🐾
My boys love it here! We’ve boarded our three dogs multiple times and have sent our newest puppy there for daycare. You can tell Jim and Kathy genuinely care so much about all the dogs. The first time we boarded with them my one boy cut his paw and Jim immediately called me and sent me pictures. He even took it upon himself to put ointment on it and wrapped his paw up. Since that first experience we haven’t trusted anyone else to watch them! They are friendly, professional and my boys clearly love them! 10/10 recommend for boarding and daycare.
Absolutely love bringing my dog here! He's a pretty anxious and clingy dog, so the fact that he willingly leaves us to go play as soon as we get there is huge. He knows we're leaving him and still runs off! He doesn't even do this at our families' homes when they watch him for us. We love the communication we receive while our dog is in their care. You can definitely tell these guys love what they do and are passionate about providing a safe and fun environment for the dogs. Our dog always comes home happy and tired from playing so much. Facilities are clean, organized, and well thought out. Price is more than reasonable. Would definitely recommend!!
I have used Hounds on the Hill for boarding & doggy day care many times. I will continue to use them as i truly feel that Jim & his family love my dogs just as much as i do. Jim has always been incredibly kind & compassionate. During my dogs stay fair week 2024 Jim texted me and asked me about a “hot spot” on my dogs paw and provided aide to it when He seemed to be licking at it more. He goes above and beyond to care for my fur babies by sending pictures and updates as well as taking on the responsibility of providing one of my dogs his medication. Both my dogs have a blast being able to run and play and are exhausted by the time they come home. I will continue to use & recommend Hounds on the Hill for all boarding and daycare needs because they truly go above and beyond! No bad review will ever waive my opinion on this facility.
