I WILL CARE FOR YOUR PET AS IF THEY WERE MY OWN!
Another great sit with Linda. She even helped us with training Hazel to ignore the dogs next door. Highly recommend Linda—she is great with both the dog and chickens, left the house beautiful, and was perfectly communicative. Hazel adores her!

Responsible and reliable mature couple looking to care for your pets.
Jessie and Chris are wonderful, interesting people, and took great care of our princess Shanti and our home. Communication before and during was spot-on. The pics of Shanti were terrific! We will gladly invite them for future sits as opportunities arise.

Pet Owner and Home Owner, Happy to Take Care of Yours.
This is the second time Clare has sat for me and it was smooth sailing the whole time, just as before. She's so considerate with coordination and the information she shares before, during, and upon departure. I can tell she spends ample time with my pup and that makes me rest so easy knowing she's being taken care of and appreciated as if I was there. I would recommend Clare to sit wholeheartedly.

Professional couple taking care of your home & pets as you do.
This was the second time Audrey (and her husband Kurt as well, this time) stayed with Millie, and it was so seamless, with frequent brief notes and photos reminding me of how lucky Millie was to get such attention. My plants were well-tended to and the house was left spotless. If Audrey and her husband Kurt apply to housesit for you, you should grab that chance - they are so wonderfully caring and responsible.

Retired animal lovers looking to explore new areas
Michael and Faye were absolutely fantastic guests and took wonderful care of Whiskey and our home. They kindly arrived the evening prior to our departure and spent time with Whiskey that evening and the next morning to ensure they were well-versed on feeding, walking, etc. They provided regular updates and took Whiskey on several adventures during their stay. We would happily have them back in the future.

A “young” retired couple who will love your pets and home while you travel.
Cannot say enough about Avis and David. Avis sent daily updates and adorable pictures of the dogs all together. Communication was excellent and my home was left in pristine condition. The dogs were sad to see them leave. I hope we are able to coordinate another sit in the future and would highly recommend them. Thanks again for your excellent care.

Active, retired PAs would love to care for your pets and home while you are away
Jane and Ed were fantastic pet & house sitters. I couldn't have been more pleased! I got regular updates and photos on all the pets, etc. My cat needed daily meds which they had no problem doing. And my highly energetic large lab was well exercised and happy. I highly recommend them. I hope to have them back another time!!

Sailor looking for boat will take care of your pets! :)
This was a return visit to our home for Hannah. This time, we took our dog along with us, so no pet sitting was involved. Hannah did an excellent job looking after things at our home during our 2 week absence. She kept us informed of any small issues that came up and, as previously, she was a delightful sitter.

Kate was an AMAZING cat sitter, and a wonderful house sitter! She took excellent care of our two cats while we traveled overseas for a month. She really understands cats' ways and needs and went above and beyond in making sure they were safe, happy and stress-free in our absence. She sent pictures, and stayed in communication (at my request). She left the house clean and in great shape. We couldn't have found a better fit for our needs. Kate is mature, responsible, attuned and knowledgeable about cats -- plus, she's just a lovely person. We're delighted to have met her. We highly recommend her as a pet sitter for your animals.

Writing about my house-sitting days!
Alan was such a great sitter for our dog Tush! He was very communicative and easy to work with before his stay and during! Very cool and easygoing but attentive person! We would definitely Alan back to sit for Tush anytime without hesitation.
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!
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
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.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
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
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)

Boots is a caring and communicative pet sitter - we felt so safe knowing she was taking care of our kitties! Reasonable rates.
Best pet care around! Highly recommended!
Tara is amazing!! She takes great care of my two pups! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!! I drop them off and leave stress free knowing they are perfectly cared for!! P.s. my dogs get excited when we turn onto her road! They know where they are going! 😁😁 …
I couldn't have found a better boarding place for my Jacky...last minute on my part could've been a big problem. Wedding at Mountain top...last minute boosters which I would've blown had I not been informed...thanks again for that. Jacky can be nippy , with strangers...assertive that he's actually the big dog in the room though only 15 lbs. When I returned to pick him up....he was playing with others and loving his caretaker. You be hard pressed to find better . Thanks again...Doggy daycare school comes to mind.
Tara has been taking care of my dogs when I go on vacation for several years. My dogs love it there.They start whining when I pull in her driveway and can’t wait to get out of the car! Tara is so good with them. She gives them lots of love and attention and makes sure their needs are more than met. They are often tired out when they get home! I highly recommend The Boarding Spot to anyone looking for dog boarding.
We feel so comfortable leaving our dog with Tara at the Boarding Spot! We enjoy seeing posts on facebook of him playing or relaxing with the other dogs, and Tara gives us updates as to how he's doing. He's an older dog, and it's very reassuring to us to know he's happy and well-cared for.
My pups stayed at the Boarding Spot a couple weeks ago. Tara did a pre stay meet & greet for us as 1 dog has Addison’s Disease. Tara put me st ease asking appropriate questions and both my dogs loved her. Tara sent me daily pics of them and an update. They looked very happy. They came home happy and tired. Would definitely contact for another stay! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've used other boarders in the past, but this place is by far the best with the unique home based care where she gets to play with other dogs. My dog is the white dog with beige stripes. She seems to be loving it there so much I don't even think she misses me. Also,the owner Tara will bend over backwards for you and,blind a Saint, actually picked up. my dog for me when I was unexpectedly hospitalized and couldn't drop my dog off for boarding. I don't think I'd ever board my dog anywhere else again.
The Boarding Spot took great care of my pup while I was out of town for a few days! It’s great to have a small place that really gets to know your dog. He came back happy and healthy, will definitely be booking with them again!
It is difficult to find a place to board Woody since he doesn't adjust to new situations; however, he feels right at home with Tara and The Boarding Spot. It is a great fit!
We just found The Boarding Spot as a convenient place to board our three dogs as we handled moving to the Rutland area, and Tara turned out to be quite the lucky find. She was great with our pups, and they have such a good time there. It's good to know we don't have to worry about what to do with them if/when we go out of town in the future.
Great place to board your pets. Tara genuinely cares about your animals and is passionate about her work. Provides an excellent environment . Treats your pet as if it was her own making it a wonderful experience for them and their owner.
