People-loving kiwi couple experienced looking after pets, lawns, gardens, pools
Greg & Toni sat for us looking after Charlie our labrador and our 2 chickens. They were superb. The house was kept clean and tidy and Charlie was a very happy dog. I highly recommend these guys, they are reliable and go the extra mile, arriving early to get full information about the house and our pets. They even cut the lawn!!

We Will Endevour to Keep Your Pets Happy While Enjoying Your Home Area
Simply the best. We cannot praise her enough. Our dog Jack loved her and was clearly very content with his time spent with Helen. Helen arrived the night before we left for our holiday. We and Jack bonded very quickly with her. . She was so easy and cheerful. It was such a relief. It meant that we could go away knowing Jack would be fine and of course he was. Helen gives gold star care. She is an absolute treasure. Thank you Helen for loving and caring for Jack. We are deeply grateful.

Reliable retired teachers looking for house sits around the world.
We left the house confident the dogs and house were in the best of hands. While away, we received lovely messages and photos showing very happy dogs. And on return we found everything so clean and tidy and the dogs had obviously been given the best of care - lots of love and walks. We were so glad Andy and Julie had a chance to go and explore locally too. We would happily invite them back at any time.

I met Olive the day before the sit and we went for coffee, she is the loveliest lady; friendly and caring and clearly loves both her own animals and all those she sits for. I felt very relaxed and comfortable knowing she’d be in my flat whilst I was away. My flat was clean and tidy when I got home and I even had clean bedding on the line ready for me…what a star! I would highly recommend Olive for any of your sitting needs!
Talia
Providing Pet Sitting in the Opotiki, New Zealand
Husband & Wife Ready to Provide Love and Care for Your Pet
Talia and Ben are first of all a lovely couple. But they are also the best pet- and housesitters. You can see they are used to take care of animals. They did not think it was a lot of work to take care of our pets while other housesitters thought it was loads of work. They are really communicative, send pictures, when we came back the house was clean and the pets were all well taken care off. They would always be welcome to do a housesit again at our house.

Mike
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
Diana
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Joel and Esme
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!

The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
Julia
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.

We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.

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.

My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!

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.

Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!

Paws-itively Healthy
Recent Reviews:
We have a giant breed dog who is high energy. It can be tough finding places who make the dog feel welcome, but the staff have been wonderful each time we have used them. Price is reasonable and the dogs seem happy.
Crystal treated our dog, half Havanese and half Yorkie (Tillie) to what I believe -- by far--- the best grooming she has ever had. I had no idea how the proper way her breed should be cut and could not be more thrilled with the end results. …
Brought my two havanese dogs in for grooming and couldn't be happier with the friendly staff and quality grooming by Crystal. She met with me ahead of time to discuss my wishes which I appreciated. Also.. The dogs in the pond area when I arrived looked so happy! I felt so comfortable here and will continue to bring my dogs to Crystal. Before and after....
If you are looking for good boarding services, with trustful and tender loving care staff, THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO LEAVE YOUR FUR BABIES!. Paws-itively Healthy staff knows how to handle your doggies. I have 3 dogs with different behaviors and they give the same care as we do at home. When I pick up my babies the are so so happy and that means a lot to us. I highly recommend Paws-itively Healthy 100% for boarding services. They also offer other services! Check it out! Thanks Jill and staff!
Our dogs love their visits to Pawsitively Healthy. They love seeing other dogs, spending time in the pond, and barking all day with new friends. Highly recommend!
Crystal did a fantastic job on both of my dogs. They are 100-lbs. each and a lot of work to get into the bath and keep still while bathing, drying and primping. When I picked them up they smelled wonderful and looked beautiful. I'd highly recommend her to anyone seeking a friendly, professional, thorough groomer who knows how to take care of all pets!
We took our puppy for her first grooming with Crystal. Puppy was nervous but had a good experience. After puppy was finished she was offering lots of kisses to Crystal. She looks beautiful and smells great! Very positive experience for us😃 …
Crystal did an excellent job grooming our puppy, Charlotte. Charlotte and I are both extremely pleased with her fresh cut and fresh scent. As a first time puppy Mom, I wasn’t sure what to expect so Crystal was happy to speak with me and provide a recommendation based on her long fur and playful personality. Charlotte loves her family at Paws-itvely Healthy and we can feel the love from the staff every time we take her to be groomed, nails trimmed, and day care.
We took our little lady Lola, a papillon for her first ever grooming. When we arrived she was nothing but crazy hair on a windy day. Needless to say she needed it. Crystal was our groomer and having never done this before we left it in her hands. We gave her ideas on what we would like and left it at that. 1 hour later we went to pick up our Lola and she was a different dog. She was adorable to say the least. Crystal did such an amazing job with her. Wash, cut, nails and ears. She smells incredible and now looks red carpet ready. We highly recommend Crystal and Paws-itively. We will be back for all of our pet grooming needs.
I'm disappointed. I had great experiences with Paws-itively until this past time I boarded my dog. He was usually fine when I picked him up—tired, but fine otherwise. When I last picked him up, multiple staff members were chatting out front while the dogs were barking like mad in the back. I've been going to Paws-itively for years. I had never seen that before. My dog came out anxious and desperate to leave. He had lost weight, which was not a regular occurrence. He was anxious all the way home and even after we had been home for a while. I'm doubtful I will return. I trusted them to care for my dog while I was away. I'm giving them 3 stars rather than 2 stars because I had great experiences before. EDITED: Jill the owner reached out to me via email. She said that she did some research, and she concluded that the staff was congregated in the office area because they were about to have their morning preparation meeting. She instructed the staff to have their meetings elsewhere in the future. She also assured me that my dog was in good spirits during his stay. I am updating my review to 4 stars because Jill quickly responded, validated my concerns, and made steps to adjust her staff's behavior. Thank you, Jill!
Furry Buddies In Home Service, LLC
Recent Reviews:
I love Furry Buddies! Our two whippet dogs had the best team of walkers: Tracey, Corbey, Brian, and Carol Ann! Each walker treated our pups with kindness, gave them treats and toys, and absolutely left an impression. The dogs would wag their tails at the front door when a furry buddy walker was at the door! Truly excellent service, always on time, and reliable, and great value. I always felt comfortable and trusted the walkers. Very much recommend their services.
I used Furry Buddies for around 7-8 years. Everyone I met was kind, caring and extremely reliable. They communicated well and if one of the staff was planning a day off and they provided a replacement. I felt so comfortable and relieved knowing they were with my dog,Lexi. They would call or text me if they noticed anything different about her. Their daily notes were great and when I had to say goodbye to her at 15 years old I received cards and beautiful gift from her walker amd the owner made a donation in her memory to a local rescue. This is the best organization to help you care for your pet. It is a great price for what they do. Much more than just a “walk” they provide a loving - compassionate reliable service. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you CaroleAnne
Tina is the best! sometimes we think our cat likes her more than she likes us! Always reliable and the cat isn't stressed when we return so we know she feels safe and cared for.
