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!

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
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!

Young couple excited to meet your pets while traveling and working remotely!
This was our second house sit with Hannah and David. As was the case last time, we came home to such a happy, exercised, fit and well-loved Riley. Riley couldn’t decide who to go to next for pets and loves between the four of us. The house was spotless and even with an early morning flight the morning after our return, the beds were stripped and the trash was taken out. Riley got to go places with David and Hannah. They took her to Bark at the Park, they took her to early dinners at outdoor restaurants and they took her on new hikes. There was plenty of cuddle time and we received photos that kept us up to date on their adventures and quiet time. Honestly, we didn’t need to check in but felt totally comfortable with Riley’s care (free to be on vacation) during our three week trip abroad. As many of you will know, who have fur babies that they adore, this is saying something!! Thanks David and Hannah!! We welcome you back any time!!

Petless pet lover who will care for your home and pet as if they are my own!
Kaelee was super easy to work with and to set up as a sitter. Penny and Theo were well cared for, exercised regularly, and very comfortable with Kaelee. The house was clean and organized when we returned. We would highly recommend Kaelee without any hesitation.

Seasoned caregiver with inherent compassion and integrity for pets and homes
We can’t say enough about the care Lauren provided to our little ones and our home. It was like having a life-long friend who you trust take care of things, leaving us to enjoy our break, knowing that our “kids” were in good hands. A wonderful find. Thank you Lauren and zeewoi.

Lee and Stuart were excellent pet sitters! They loved our dog Brooklyn and she loved them. They kept us updated on her and made sure she was well taken care of. They were very neat and our house was in perfect condition when we came home. I would be happy to have them sit again.

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!

Retired Kent & Kathy June of 2018
Kent and Kathy were just terrific!! They took care of our home as if it was there own as well as taking care of our fur babies. Their communication was spot on, every time we called they answered right away to assure us that Sweet Pea and Rufus were getting along just fine. I can't believe that Kathy even made home made soup that was waiting for us when we returned home. This was so appreciated after being on the road for as long as we were. We can't say enough about how pleased we were of our house sitters. We would welcome Kathy and Kent anytime for a return sit.

It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
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!
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.
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $10/day per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Miss Tracy is the best! We have an anxious dog and she is constantly trying to work with him and his anxiety/separation issues. Highly recommend Happy Hounds.
The best! We've always had great experiences. Tracy does an amazing job, and we are very thankful we found her!
Tracy loves every pet brought to her for boarding. Each is given his/her own suite and has a large fenced area to play in with others of their own temperament and size. These pets are treated so special! The cost is very reasonable as well.
Never a worry about leaving my little dog here. Tracy does a great job. She sends texts/pictures and the dogs always look like they are having fun. Nice, clean, safe place.
Tracy, the owner of Happy Hounds Farm is a natural with animals.My Boston Terrier, Opal Marie, loved her and her week vacation at this kennel. Several years ago I had a bad experience with a kennel and since then, I am very “picky” about entrusting my pup with anyone, but I definitely plan to use Happy Hounds near Morganton, NC , again. Thanks Tracy!!
Can't say enough about Tracy and Happy Hounds. This is the best place ever. I have had experience with other kennels and nothing comes close to the care, attention, exercise and love that my dogs get here.
This is a awesome place for the dogs. The best place we have ever used.
Absolutely best dog boarding service in all the surrounding counties!!!!!
The best place to take a dog for boarding or a play day.
Our pup gives this place four paws up! With a wagging tail!
Best groomers around!! They've always taken really good care of our crazy aussie. Today we had a new groomer since we haven't been to see them in a good while and she did an amazing job cleaning him up and getting his fur back to a healthy condition. We take an entire day off work and drive more than an hour away from home to come down to Morganton, they are that good and kind! Thank you, Sydney and Paws & Claws!
One of the best grooming experiences for my doggo. The groomer did a 5 star plus job. Highly recommend.
I just moved to town and this is the first time my dogs have been kenneled here. Everyone communicated with me prior, I could call anytime and check on them, they did great on the grooming And my dogs looked peaceful and happy when I picked them up. I love the atmosphere. I will definitely kennel them again here as Paws And Claws!!
Absolutely wonderful. I'm so glad I found these folks. They were prompt when getting back to me on my initial call and set an appt for my standard poodle. This was her first grooming and Kayla was amazing. My pup was anxious and is very high energy and Kayla took her time to help my girl have a good experience there. I was also super busy at work and they actually made arrangements to have her brought home. I paid for this service but it was a lifesaver because it was a hard day for me to leave work. I couldn't be happier with everything! Amazing customer service and my poodle looks gorgeous. They did exactly what I wanted and exceeded expectations! Thank you Paws and Claws and Kayla!!
I had absolutely no concerns or worries while I was gone. Heather and her special-needs boarding facility are the best! Heather treats my dog as well as she would treat one of her own. The small number of borders at a time and the individualized attention is exactly what my dog needed!
I am going to give an honest review about my experience there. First, the positive, my puppy seems to enjoy daycare there. It’s a clean facility, and Lisa is nice. Now, for the not-so-positive, I took my puppy for his first groom today. The young lady who groomed him, (I won’t say her name), cut his paw pad. I don’t mean his nails, his actual paw pad. There’s a piece hanging, so of course my puppy wants to chew it, so he’s having to wear a cone. He’s also limping on it. The groomer said my puppy heard my voice and started jumping around which is when she cut his paw pad. I have questions about this, but am not sharing those at this time. Lisa, (Manager) was nice about it, and did say if he needed to go to the vet to just let her know. I wasn’t offered any refund for what happened. I know accidents will happen, but I have a sad puppy right now with a sore paw. I hope this experience doesn’t make him angry or fear future groomings. I want him to enjoy groomings not fear them. I will add a photo to show what happened.
Callie is always well taken care of at The Farm. Even though she barks a lot, I feel sure she is happy while in the care of Heather. Thank you ever so much.
Mariah was wonderful. Our dog Gilbert is an old small pug, not used to going to the groomers. He loved it! And he looked great. Mariah was kind and gentle with him and we are very, very happy with her. We will be bringing him back again!
Paws and Claws staff are just an extension of family for Remy and me. Cindy smiles as she checks us in and out. John is fairly new, but he has quickly become one of Remy's very favorite people! Zoey and Kenzie love on her all the time, and Lisa is the eagle eye who can tell me when Remy's not feeling well because her behavior is a little "off". Diane is great to work with on scheduling, and Liz is just an all around breath of fresh air. And Heather -- you are the glue that holds it all together, and we couldn't love you more if we tried!
We recently went on vacation for a week and enlisted Caleb Lunsford as our cat sitter for our two cats while we were away. We were very happy with our experience with Caleb. He updated us with every visit and sent pics as well. Kept our furries fed and clean water as well as taking time to getting to know them giving them TLC and playful moments and reassuring them. Would recommend Caleb Lunsford and have him to check on our furries again.
We have had 3 golden retrievers trained by Mike and couldn’t be more pleased! He is incredibly knowledgeable and our dogs love him! We have also boarded them at the kennel and they are always well cared for! His training is worth every penny and We will continue to use him as long as he is training!! Mike, thanks again for your hard work!
We have been using Mike Mull for over 30 years. He has trained and boarded our fur babies all these years. We know they are safe and in the best hands when we’re away. Best trainer there is around. Mike is family. We think the world of Mike and Mullhaus Kennels. Can’t say enough great things about our experiences. God bless!!
Mike did an excellent job with Jax. Our chocolate lab. He never gave up getting Jax trained. And as we continue the routine Mike showed us Jax is becoming a very well mattered dog. Thank you Mike
We decided to book with Milhaud Kennels because Mike, the owner, gave us wonderful costumer service and his prices are hard to beat. He took great care of our German Shepherd mix.
Mike is always great with our Aussie, he trained her as well and did an awesome job getting her under control.
Mike knows what he is doing. Our dog Miles is a like a new dog and the stress in our house has reduced considerably. Thank you Mike!!!!
This was the first time I used them to board my dog. The lady very nice person and it was a very good reasonable priced
You just can't find a better place to board your dog. I can't express how much trust we have with Mike, he is the best, period.
Great people. Very reasonable rates. Worked with us on a very short notice. Would have given 10 Stars if possible. Thank you
Exceptional...it don't get any better than this. Lindsey is great.
Woofpack is our go-to dog training service. Melissa has been very helpful in assisting us to help our energetic chocolate lab to become a sweet, well behaved dog. Our dog is going through the process of becoming a certified therapy dog. When we adopted a new dog, Melissa was very helpful with some new training challenges before we were able to get our puppy into training. We were also very pleased with boarding services. Our dogs were treated like royalty and had a fabulous time.
Melissa and her team are amazing in all that they do, I can’t recommend them highly enough! I’ve done several training classes with her, enrolled my pup in daycare, and been able to board him several times with peace of mind that he’s being treated as well as if he were home with me. He loves daycare days and always comes home tired and happy. Great customer service, caring and attentive staff, and a clean and safe facility. 10/10, this business is a true gem.
Wolfpack and Melissa have been extremely helpful with my fearful dog. He had his puppy training, day care, overnight care and most recently one on one help to deal with issues. I highly recommend them. You will not find a more caring knowledgeable place.
My dog, Missy, and cat, Sunny, both stayed at Woof Pack for a week while we were on vacation. Usually we take Missy with us and someone cares for Sunny while we're away, but we were unable to do that this time. We decided on Woof Pack after getting glowing references from several people. This place is like a luxury hotel for your pets! Individual rooms for your dog and individual multi level "condos" for your cat. There's tv for them as well as music. They have generous outdoor space as well. Missy is very scared of thunder and a storm occurred during her stay. Melissa (the owner) stayed up with her til 2am to calm and reassure her! I'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen elsewhere. This will be our go to from now on when we can't take our pets with us. I like knowing someone else will put that much effort into their well being.
Melissa Helms of Woof Pack Pet Services is like the dog whisperer of Boone, NC. Her place is the nicest dog boarding facility I've ever seen, and Melissa's passion for her dogs and her work shines through the moment you meet her. I highly recommend Woof Pack for dog boarding, and I recommend their dog training classes as well.
I love my dog and he goes pretty much everywhere with me, including work (he’s the greeter). Sometimes though, my wife and I take a trip and have to leave him behind for one reason or another. Woof Pack is the only boarding facility we’d leave him with and I have 100% confidence in their service and professionalism. This place has high demand (because they are so good) so planning and booking well ahead of time is advised.
Having moved to Boone 6 years ago, I was relived to find Woofpack and now consider it part of our family. My two dogs are excited to arrive and come home relaxed and happy after spending time with the kind, caring, professional staff. What a gift to our community and to my family!
Woof Pack offers a great variety of classes, from obedience to sport to overcoming fearfulness, and the class sizes are always small enough that everyone gets personal attention and can participate fully. Melissa's varied experience with training "typically-abled" dogs and "differently-abled" dogs (her personal pack includes several visually and/or aurally impaired dogs) means she can suggest training options for any dog of any background. We've completed three sets of classes with our pup and can't wait to do more; my parents have worked with Melissa in private sessions to address the reactivity and behavioral issues of their latest rescue, a German Shepherd dog, and the progress they've made with Melissa's assistance is remarkable. I highly recommend Woof Pack for anyone and any dog!
Very unprofessional. When we were finally able to get a hold of the owner, she said she was busy and would call us back that Sunday. It has been two weeks and messages left with no return phone calls. We needed help with our beloved dog and was looking forward to working with someone with her listed creditials but she only returned our call once just to say she would call back and never did. Not a way to run a business.
Woof Pack is the ONLY place I trust to leave my dogs. My dogs are my babies and even though I hate to leave them at all, I can, knowing they are completely well taken care of.
Gina is a kind, caring, and reliable pet nanny! Thank you for caring for our dogs, cats, horses birds, and lizzards. Simply the best!
Gina exceeded our expectations. Our dog, who usually barks at strangers, loves Gina. We trusted her to come into our home and take care of our dog several times a day when we had to go out of town in a pinch. She sent pictures and texts to reassure us all was ok, she walked her and fed her and took care of her potty needs. She went above and beyond to care for our dog and even did a few things to care for the house too. We will definitely be using Gina again!
Carol did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs. She was prompt and very thorough. We definitely recommend!
Carol is phenomenal! She groomed my pomeranian today and she done a wonderful job, she was groomed just as I asked and even got to play with some new friends. She is so knowledgeable and is a true animal lover. I would highly recommend paying her a visit. Thank you Carol!
They did an awesome job on my Lucy. Will go back to her soon.
Bark and Purr Pet Sitting is the best! They’re so friendly and wonderful with our pets and I’ve been really happy to have someone I can trust to care for them while I’m gone. I think my kitties look forward to my trips now lol 😝 Thank you so much! …
Genise and Carson were both amazing! From the home visit to communication while we were traveling. The detailed updates with photos were heartwarming. You can tell they really care for your pets while you’re away!
I used Bark and Purr for the first time this fall and will continue to employ them. They were absolutely on time and sent me photos and updates of interactions with my pet. I love the ease of payment online through the Time to Pet app. Five stars, great job!
Genise and her crew are wonderful. We just moved to this area and she came recommended from my former pet sitter’s company. We’re very happy with them and our three dogs are as well.
We are extremely happy for the love and care our fur baby, Zoe, gets from Bark and Purr Pet Sitting. We know she will be well cared for and loved.
Genise and Carson looked after our hamster and five cats, and they did a wonderful job!Everyone was very calm and happy when we returned. I highly recommend Bark and Purr!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Genise and Amy! They are absolutely phenomenal! They took care of our fur babies while we were out of town a few weeks ago and not only did they give them tender love and care but sent me amazing pictures at each visit! The love they have for animals is evident! Their website website allows you to put in instructions to the tee and they follow them and I love that you can edit it anytime! Their pricing is very fair and for all that they do and for my fur babies to stay in the comfort of their own home is a 100% win-win! 👍 I highly recommend their service and plan to use them again soon!
We were extremely happy with the care our three beagles received while we were away on vacation for 10 days. I loved that after each visit they sent photos and a summary. I was REALLY nervous leaving our fur babies with a new service after having the same pet sitter for many years, but after seeing how well things went after the first couple of days, I was able to really relax knowing that my trio was in good hands and well cared for. I would recommend Genise and her team to anyone.
We have used Bark & Purr Pet Sitting multiple times and have been very pleased with their services. Our fur babies love Genise and we enjoy the pictures she sends us during her visits. She has always been on time and goes above and beyond while she is here. We definitely recommend.
Genise is absolutely perfect for the job. She cared for my one cat and was thorough in every way you would expect and need. Friendly and genuinely interested in providing loving care for your pet, you can leave your home knowing your fur babies will be cared for as if they were her own.
