Nicole
Olmito, Texas
Kind and Caring House/Pet Sitter
It's always a pleasure to have someone as warm as Nicole over again. She took great care of our young dog and cat (as well as our house) who can be a handful for one person. She even managed to get our skittish cat to warm up to her and ask for pets, and that's saying something. We loved that she was, as always, very communicative and was so considerate to send us a steady flow of pet pictures during our absence. On a few days, Nicole did have to take on some unplanned last-minute event jobs, but she worked closely with us to make arrangements and be sure the pets were looked after and taken care of. When you are hundreds of miles away from home, you can't ask for someone better than Nicole to watch over your pets. She's a kind, self-sufficient person who took wonderful care of our home, and we'd recommend her to anyone.
Guadalupe
Olmito, Texas
Reliable and hard working pet lover from Texas ready to sit for you :)
Guadalupe is such a kind and warm individual.. just the type of person you'd want caring for little beings! She was very thoughtful and accommodating, and even came in a day early to meet our kitties. It is clear that Guadalupe cares about animals, and that their wellbeing is her main priority. She made sure to always communicate with us (especially if she had any questions!), and regularly sent photos and videos. Our boys have somewhat of a complex feeding schedule, but Guadalupe was flexible and understanding, and even assisted w administering medication. She was very considerate and always gave us a heads up when she'd be out of the house for longer periods of time. Our place was clean and tidy, and we came back to two very happy kitties <3 We would all gladly welcome Guadalupe back, and definitely recommend her!
Mary
Olmito, Texas
I am out for an adventure, but I like the security of home at the same time.
Mary was FABULOUS! She took care of everything while we were away. We returned to a spotless house, healthy plants, and happy cats! She did really well with our four cats, even though some of them are a bit grumpy and strongly prefer their family to strangers. We can tell they were happy based on how relaxed they were upon our return - typically after a week away, the cats are crazy for the first few days, but with Mary, it's like we never left. We would absolutely love to have Mary back to sit for us any time.
Debra
Olmito, Texas
Empty Nester with time on my hands!
Debra was great! Everything I would hope for in a house sitter. We'd be happy to have her again!
Azeneth
Olmito, Texas
Responsible individuals who will take care of your pets like our own!
Azeneth and Alejandra were excellent pet/house sitters. We came home to happy cats and a house that is cleaner than when we left it. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you for giving us a peace of mind when we were away.

I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.

There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
KOLBY
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!

Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.

Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.

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.

Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.

Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim

Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!

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!

Smith Ranch Kennels

I have used Smith Kennels a number of times for my dogs. Linda and Mark are great people and really do care for the animals that stay there. Each dog has their own kennel and they keep the males and females separated. This is very important especially if you have dogs that are not spayed or neutered. Many kennel owners do not think about this and mix the dogs when they are out in the yards, not a good practice. It is out in the woods so ticks will be near, so check out your dogs when you pick them up. I've only ever found one though. Prices are reasonable and if you have questions they will contact you back when a message is left.
I have boarded my dog with Smith Kennels several times. I am thankful for their care and attention to my dog, as well as the stray dogs that they take in and find homes for. Mrs. Smith is a kind person who has saved hundreds, probably thousands, of dogs through the years. I hate to leave my dog, but when I have to, I trust Smith Kennels.
I dropped off my Beagle for a 4 day stay with the Smith family. When booking my reservation, Mark and Linda ensured I had all the proper instructions on what to bring for my pup for her stay. Their boarding facility was great and my pup had a lot of room to run in her kennel and the owners made sure to ask questions upon her arrival to ensure they knew her feeding schedule and any other possible information. I asked for daily updates on her and got a reply within an hour of each email or phone call. I want to thank Mark and Linda for showing Oaklee unconditional love and administering her vitamins as needed daily. I will be back again soon to Smith Ranch Kennels!!
I left my dogs there for a week. They came back infested with ticks. I pulled at least 50 off my two dogs, and I had to take them to the vet for a tick dip. My dogs had tick treatment on them when i took them to the kennel but they were still completely infested. My vet knew immediately where I had taken them and said that she's seen this happen to other dogs who had stayed there and that I should be watching them for tick--borne disease. My vet has seen other dogs that stayed at Smith ranch develop tick--borne illnesses. I'm so sad they stayed there for a week, and the owner never told me they were covered with ticks, and she clearly didn't give them a tick bath. I will never take my dogs there again. They're also wheezing a lot so I'm concerned they may have caught somethingelse too while at the Smith ranch kennels.
Ignore the bad review..this place is great. I left my four dogs in their care. My dogs got to be together. They went into a play yard. They were fed the food I brought for them. 3 small dogs, one large. They enjoyed their stay. Reasonable price. Great price for multiple dogs. Owners live on the property. They have access to vet care if need. Should be able to give them six stars. They do alot to rescue needy dogs. I am so impressed by them.
This place is infested with Ticks. I found A lot on both of my dogs that stayed here. They are treated with a pill and topical to prevent ticks, but still some how got them. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt after seeing all the other reviews and thought my dogs wouldn’t get anything since they are treated, but I was wrong. Just be aware and I suggest if anyone wants to leave their dog here please think twice. Especially if they are your babies! Look into everything before you board your dogs and don’t make the same mistake I did.
Do not leave your precious pets at this place. This kennel has seen better days. My dog spent two nights there and came back with ticks and smelling like piss. His favorite bed also came back wet and stinky. I stopped by the Tractor Supply store to give him a much needed bath. There is a for sale sign at the kennel's entrance and the place has an "I don't give a damn" vibe. Better options out there.
I never like to board my girls but there are times when there are no other options. We had to fly home for my husband's father's funeral and I was thankful to find a kennel I felt comfortable with. I liked the country location and the cost was reasonable, too. I would use Smith Ranch Kennel again.
I just adopted an Aussie shepherd mix from Linda and had nothing but a great experience. She kept him for a couple weeks longer to have him neutered and wait for me to be home from a trip. When I finally picked him up he was flea and tick free, and just needed a bath to freshen up. He is as healthy as possible for a dog that was a stray and then living in a kill shelter until Linda rescued him. She has several dogs that need adopted and I wouldn't hesitate to send anyone there to pick out a new fur baby. Thanks Linda!
I can leave my dogs and not have to worry about them while I'm away. I have a prized bird dog and I know several others that leave their trophy dogs with Smith Ranch including the border patrol. They spend time with the dogs and really keep an eye on them. Best value, best care, best kennels in the valley.

I’ve taken my dog to several places since moving to Brownsville. No one compares to waggin tails. The personnel is caring and understanding and so very patient. Milo always looks so handsome when I pick him up. The prices are very reasonable too. Very professional!!
Michael and his team took such amazing care of my dog I had just recently rescued. I’m really thankful for them. Their love for animals clearly shows. I would highly recommend bringing your pet here!
My fur baby Mel loves the staff. Always well cared for and she enjoys her visits! Thank You all for taking such good care of Mel!
Horrible service!! Will never take my dog here again. They mistakenly completely shaved off all my German shepherd's hair. I can only imagine what they put her through. Their apology was reimbursing me 10 dollars for ruining the look of my dog. Never again!!
Absolutely an awesome pet hotel for your Furiend pet. Friendly personnel and a very clean environment for your baby! Prices are fair and competitive for this area and I highly recommend it!
They butchered my dog. I don't think they have any clue on how to properly cut dogs hair
I have a rescue that’s not very trusting. When I first rescued him, the vet had to sedate him to be groomed. I’ve taken him to other places before and they were never able to work on him, until I found this place. They are extremely patient and caring with my fur baby and Max always ends up looking so good. I started taking my other dog there too. Not to mention this place is very reasonably priced. Great service at a great price. Thank you Wagging Tails for taking care of my fur babies and keeping them looking sharp!
We were happy with the grooming and made another appointment at that time. Today we show up at 8 am and we’re told we didn’t have an appointment. He looked on the calendar and it was there but never put on the appointment schedule. We …
Been taking my fur baby for a few years now and we love it. He always leaves so handsome and in such a happy mood. Makes me feel at peace and comfortable knowing my baby is in good hands. Currently live in San Antonio and always make it a point to get him groomed when I'm in town! Thank you Wagging tales!
I've taken my dogs for grooming at other places and many, like Blue Ribbon, I will never go back because of animal cruelty. My dogs love WAGGING TAILS and always return home with the best grooming and as …
