Full time traveling couple wanting to hang out with your cool pets!
Shauna and Craig kept in touch every day with pictures of kitties and how they were doing even though no expectation was set for an update, so they did that of their own accord. They were easy to communicate with and very friendly. House was immaculate when we returned and one of our kitties sheds a lot. They even left us a little gift. We would love to have them return again!

Skip was great! Very available for communication, sent a couple of kind updates with cute pics of my cat, left the place very tidy, even made up the bed. An all-around happy experience and I'd be delighted to have him back if he wanted!

Amarilla & Tyler were FANTASTIC sitters. They took amazing care of my dog Bubba, send frequent updates and left my place absolutely spotless. I would recommend them to anyone looking for great care :)

Matt, Kimberly and their two children looked after our Cadence(Goldendoodle) for a little over 3 weeks. They were incredible, my neighbors loved them. I heard someone played the piano very well❤️. They sent us some beautiful photos of our baby being loved by them and the kids. I wanted them to feel at home and enjoy the Hobart 4th of July celebrations and I think they did. I had no stress leaving my home and dog with this beautiful family. The house was perfect when we got back! As if we'd never left, Cadence was in great shape but will miss them for sure. So many thanks to Matt and Kimberly for their kindness and generosity. I hope to see them again.

Majoring in Travelpetology - I look forward to meeting you!
Kristine was great....kind, considerate and great attitude. The cats readily took to her. The house was left in good order. Kept us informed both before the sit and during. Would definitely have her back.

This is our second sit with Angie and we enjoyed having her. We were able to communicate easily and she appeared to remember the routine of our home. The house and our dog, Lucca, we’re both in great shape and ready to welcome us home. We are hoping for an opportunity to lure Angie and Sarah once again out of the cold to our Florida home.

Teacher/petsitter dreaming of making petsitting and traveling a reality!
When we select a sitter, we read every review in addition to conducting some sort of video interview. We really rely upon the experiences of past hosts, so that’s why I believe it important to be honest in this review. I love giving out 5 star reviews and do quite frequently, but I also need to share any less-than-positive experiences as well for those hosts who rely upon reviews such as we do. As such, I’m a bit ambivalent about writing this review of Katie, as there were some really good things Katie did while here. She is a lovely, energetic woman who responded immediately to the concerns I voiced to her during the time she watched our pets; however, the “negatives” we experienced speak to the heart of the importance of having a dedicated pet sitter. For the most part, our home was left tidy and neat – which is no small feat as ours is a large house and I appreciate the care Katie took in ensuring we walked into a clean home. That said, Katie failed to notice my dogs had urinated in both of their dog beds and on the floor of our downstairs office, which we believed happened in the first part of the sit and resulted in the downstairs smelling of stale urine. Further, because she didn’t notice the urine, my pets, when downstairs, had to either sleep on the bare floor or in wet beds, neither of which is a satisfactory option. Also, my dogs don’t generally urinate in the house as they have access to a doggie door, and this seemed more a sign of their distress or discomfort. I believe this incident was part of a larger problem I experienced with Katie and that was in the manner in which she approached this sit. I advertised dates of July 6 – July 22. We generally ask our sitters to come in a day or two early as to walk them through the schedule for both our animals and our many plants, as well as to give them time to get to know the animals and experience a little of the town we live in. We also provide a very detailed introduction and welcome guide which outlines our expectations. Katie came in late in the day on the 7th, without personal transportation, which necessitated us picking her up and then my neighbor taking her to a rental cart company the next day because we left very early on the morning of the 8th. This abbreviated introductory time didn’t allow us to fully prepare Katie for the sit and allowed for some apparent “misunderstandings.” The “issue” for me was for the first five days of our 13-day trip, Katie was away from the house for up to 13 hours at a time – leaving our two, older rescue dogs, who have some separation anxiety - alone and with an extended time between meals. It was clear Katie was using this opportunity to visit many of the beautiful areas which surround where we live – hence using our home as more of an Airbnb to vacation – than a house sit dedicated to caring for our animals. Our dogs are fine with being alone for up to six hours but even that, for multiple days in a row, is, frankly, distressing to our animals and to us, as owners. To Katie’s credit, when I called and brought her daily, extended time away to her attention and reiterated my wishes the dogs not be left for more than 6 hours, she changed her schedule and while still gone every day, capped her time away at six hours. And, as I said, she is cheerful and responsive; hence, the ambivalence is positing my concerns with this sit. I think if Katie is provided with very clear expectations prior to the sit and understands exactly what is needed and expected, she will absolutely deliver. For whatever reason, from the start, this sit was rushed, there appeared to be too many misunderstandings, and it ended up being frustrating for us in ways other sits have not been.

A great, responsible dynamic lady for your home & furry family member
I have been unsure what rating to give Kristiane. There were a few things I was upset about, but while considering her other reviews, it seems to be an anomaly. She mostly apologized and took responsibility for things she did wrong. She provided good pet care and seemed to enjoy her stay here. I couldn't quite tell if the missteps were her normal character, or if it was because she was going through a hectic period in life. TLDR: She disappointed me at the beginning of the trip, but her pet care was good. She scared me that she gave the pill to the wrong cat. I returned to a dirty home, including literal broken glass, but she went above and beyond in other areas. I'll start by saying we had a pleasant video call and were in fairly constant communication for about a week before my trip. She contacted me probably every day, asking for various details, usually with long voice memos. She appeared to be a good & thorough communicator. I had shifted my departure to the night before instead of the morning of and had explained that my cats would be ok alone overnight, but my cat Willow gets a pill every morning and I would love for her to get her pill ASAP. Kristiane had said she could get there around noon the morning of, which I was fine with. I had said that noon would be pushing it pill-wise, but as long as it isn't much later, that is ok. Because I received constant communication with her leading up to the start of the trip, I was shocked when I didn't hear from her at all the day the sit began, even a "on my way" text. I tried texting and calling her to no avail. I was getting worried that something had happened and I had no way of finding out. At this point, I started to panic a bit because my cat needs her medication. I contacted zeewoi support asking for help. I heard from Kristiane around 2pm. She had chalked it up to having a very busy/hectic morning and said she still had about 2 hours left on her drive (so, 4 hours later than she originally said). I ended up getting a Rover sitter to check in on my cats, feed them, and pill Willow ASAP, which Kristiane offered to reimburse me for. I was thankful she reimbursed me but was confused about how there was so much miscommunication when I thought I had clear expectations. I try to be clear with my expectations of my sitters while still being flexible for normal life mishaps. I would have been less upset if she had notified me of her real ETA when she left (it was about a 4-hour drive) instead of leaving me in the dark. It was not responsible or reliable. Once she arrives, my anxiety is lessened. Things seem to be going well. The next morning, however, she tells me she gave Cherry a pill. Cherry does not get a pill, only Willow does. I have this explicitly stated in multiple places, including my printed-out instructions and the pill bottle itself. Turns out, she got the cats' names wrong. She pilled the correct cat, somehow. Kristiane is an overcommunicator. She sent me several voice memos every morning, sometimes totaling about 10 minutes long. While I appreciate daily updates and don't mind chatting here and there, I am on vacation, and it became annoying to have to leave my friends to listen to the memos. A balance needs to be found. I returned to a dirty home. I spent the first 2 hours after arriving deep-cleaning everything. She broke a glass while she was here (which I ultimately don't care about materialistically) and did not clean it up well. I found about 10 large chunks of glass within reach of my cats. I found out about this mess because my cat was literally playing with a chunk of glass. Every surface Kristiane touched was dirty, smudged, or sticky. There were so many drips and spills and stains, that I was confused about how she managed to make such a mess. However, the litter was done perfectly. All the dishes were washed. Trash was taken out. She did ALL my laundry, including the bedspread (which I don't ask sitters to do). She left me small gifts of tea, chocolate, and ice cream. All of this is to say that it seems her heart is in the right place, but she may need some help with following through. I am wondering if her past 5 star reviews were because she used to sit with her former partner. Maybe that person was the "cleaner" of the two. She was solo this time, apart from a friend visiting and staying with her for one night. I hope my thorough review is good feedback for Kristiane so she can become a better sitter. I feel bad about leaving a complaining review, but I know it is important to have honesty in these reviews so we can all learn for the future.

Lindsey was great! She left the house clean and organized and no concerns with that. My dog loved her and it went so well he didn’t have any behavior problems when I got back. Would definitely recommend and have her come back in the future.
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! 
Chris was an outstanding pet sitter and I would definitely use him again! He is reliable, responsible, and thorough. I was able to FaceTime Chris prior to the sit and he spent a lot of time answering and asking questions. I felt confident after speaking with him. Throughout the weekend, Chris communicated clearly through texting. He let me know when he arrived and left which was helpful. He also sent photos and updates of both my cats. My boy cat has occasional anxiety issues which cause UTI's. Andy had a flare up while I was away and Chris was very attentive to him and let me know how he was doing. Chris did not seem to mind taking extra care of him which I very much appreciate. Chris left my house clean and even washed the sheets and towels he used before leaving!
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
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.
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
strongly recommend Christine and Phil to housesit for your kitty. Our pets, Babbles and Cousin Eddy, and property, were in very good hands while we where away for two weeks. They had a fair amount entailed with two cats on different food and needs. Cousin Eddy, or Edoardo, is a barn cat we recently adopted. Eddy is very sweet and stays outside but hangs out the side door wanting to be petted and fed; Bubbles is an indoor cat. Both cats were spoiled by Christine and Phil! Christine and Phil were also very caring and attentive with the needs of our Airbnb guests. During the time we were away they kept us updated daily (including photos of the cats). When we came home, our house was perfect, with lovely fresh flowers, notes for us, and our cats had been well-cared-for. They are wonderful house sitters, and we highly recommend them. They were Five-star sitters of our house and cats!
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!

Becky is absolutely incredible and offers pets and their families top notch care and service! Highly recommend!!!
Happy with services at My Pet Nanny. Took great care of our dog while we were away. Even administered medications as needed. Don't hesitate to bring your pet there!
Becky cares about all of the pets she watches.
I boarded my dog for a weekend and had a fantastic experience. The owner was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that my dog felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. The facility was clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space for the dogs to play and relax. Would highly recommend!!!!
I just picked my dog up and of course he was being very dramatic, you know, because I abandoned him forever (which is 4 days), but, he's already calmed down and is acting as he normally does. He ate great as soon as we got home and is currently chasing his cat all over the living room. Now, he did have a serious looking limp at pickup, but, it was gone within the hour. Curiosity won out so I looked it up and apparently that is a very common deception from dogs after pick up from boarding. Liars. Every last one of them. Obviously, he's very happy to be home, but, he was also very obviously well cared for and I can tell by his demeanor. I am very happy with the love extended to my boy. Thank you!
Ashley at Greenwood Boarding Kennel is awesome! She took great care of my Boston Terrier 9 mo old Woody while I had to go back home to the Chicago area for a couple days and he really likes her after of course being scared at first, it was the first time we were separated since I brought him home in December. Woody was scared from all the other dogs barking alot but Ashley really helped him!!! (My other Boston Wrigley just loved Ashley!!!) 🐾🐾🙂
A nice kennel in a lovely setting. Very reasonable price and such nice people. She was able to get my dog in last minute and took great care of him!
Very good experience owner is very knowledgeable about the fur babies she cares for... must show current vaccine records and after first meeting I knew my little guy was in good hands for the four days I was in the hospital will definitely be using her grooming and boarding services again with confidence in the care she gives.
Ashley is amazing!!! I has a family emergency and she was more than accommodating!! Plus my boys has a great time ❤
Great service. My dogs came home tired but happy. I would definitely bring my fur babies back.
They have heated floors to keep my dogs feet warm and a big run-plus she does a great job grooming my pooch.
Outstanding services and the best staff. You can tell they love animals and take pride in taking care of them.
Great place Ashley took great care of my Buddy 🙂 …
Sharon and her staff excel in the care of each dog, irregardless of breed, behavior, temperament, special needs, or apprehension as a dog parent boarding your doggo for the first time. Fantastic facility!!
A small dog day care, but all the dogs looked SO happy, and my big guy had a great time and tried to climb into Sharon's lap...
Great little place! Took very good care of my doggo, he was in such a good mood when we picked him up. Very accommodating! I had to make very last minute arrangements, and it all worked out great. Love that they take any dog, regardless of breed or temperament.
Sharon takes amazing care of our dog Brodi. I would not hesitate to have her watch Brodi anytime. She has answered a few questions I had about feeding him raw food and it has helped out a lot.
Sharon and her crew take amazing care of our pups while we're away on business. They're excited to go there, and exhausted when they get back. Great people to work with!!!
We were greeted by the owner when we arrived and were given a tour of the facility. It's a smaller, private building on their own property that only houses 13 dogs, so we knew that our precious puppy would be getting the attention she needed. The facility was very clean and well-maintained, and the owners were very friendly and knowledgeable. Best of all, when we picked up our dog after a week of her being there, she was clean and happy (not the normal dirty kennel smell and boarding stress.) I HIGHLY recommend DeBoer and will definitely be boarding my girly there again!
This is the best kennel around! They always take such good care of my dog. Sharon is so good with dogs, and I feel very comfortable when my dog stays here. I highly recommend Deboer Dog Boarding!
Our dogs stayed here while being trained by Sharon (K9 Specialist). They were very well taken care of, and we would use the service again if we ever need to board them. Wonderful service, and they clearly cared about our dogs.
Sharron knows what she is doing. Had my dog there for training, lasted about 6 weeks, when spring came around my pup started to revert back to her old overly excited self, went back to Sharron for a touch up to see if it was my errors leading to the dogs misbehavior, and she worked with us for about 45 min and made a couple corrections and my pup is back to being a good dog.
Pups seemed to like it on their first visit ..will return
Loved working with them! I called and talked to several trainers and knew immediately that this was the place for me. Our GSD is from East working lines and I trust these guys completely, they are laid back and eager to educate you and give you the confidence to work on the skills you can use to continue training anywhere you take your dog. Their focus is to proper conditioning techniques to train your dog to be socialized, neutrality in all environments and create a custom training plan based on your needs and the dogs capabilities. I can't Thank them enough for all their hard work and cannot wait to work with them again in the future!
Trainers are very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job with my fur boy. He was having some behavioral issues so I sent him to their board and train for 30 days and he came back a new dog . They also threw in a few free puppy lessons for the new Rotty I got. Definitely recommended…..
Highly recommend Working Dog! My pup Canelo did their 30 day board and training and during the time I received multiple weekly check in’s on his progress and accomplishments. Kaylon and his team helped my dog with not just his obedience but to also build his confidence. I was so happy and grateful with training provided that I will definitely be returning back in the future for additional training. Thank you Working Dog Team!
This is awesome group. Kaylon is a great trainer. He helped me from day 1 of our training for my service dog and even after our training was done he has always been a message away and helped with questions and tips and it's been over 2 years and still has always answered my questions and offered to meet up to help with new tasks. Definitely recommend
