Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
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! 
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.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
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!
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
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 overnight at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, 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 overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Decided to try them out for my very nervous 10 year old lady. Aimee gladly took her on, even though she had never been professionally groomed in her whole 10 years. Aimee was amazing with her! She was able to bath her, do a de-shed treatment, clip her nails and clean her ears with no problems, not even needing to muzzle her (which has always had to happen during nail trims, etc). I can’t thank Aimee enough for how she treated my girl. So much patience and kindness! We will be coming back!
Today I took my dog for a bath and nail trim. Sadly he has Cushings disease and has weak back legs. Amy was Fantastic with him! He was nervous and afraid and she scooped him up! (he is not a small dog!) and she was great with him! Many thanks. Nice clean place and friendly staff!
I adore coming to Scotti's! I train dog obedience at the shop. She is ALWAYS friendly and helpful with my clients.
Scotti's is wonderful! I was at a different groomer before Scotti's and the dogs didn't want to go in at all. When I bring my dog to Scotti's its nerver a problem. They are happy to see her and always look picture perfect when I pick them up. Staff is Wonderful! Very friendly and professional.
I really appreciate this establishment. They got Chili in the same day. I had called around for hours and couldn't get a same day appointment. They were very kind and caring to Chili. Her name was pepper when I brought her in but I changed it to Chili. Thank you guys soo much.
If you like being ignored or not having your phone calls or emails returned, then this is the perfect place for you! Spoke with the owner in October about setting up a grooming appointment right before Christmas. She said her and her staff have to figure out the schedule but they will definitely put me down and will call back once they have a day/time figured out. It’s now December 2nd and NOTHING. I tried calling, leaving a voicemail and emailing and STILL no response!!! If you’re not accepting anymore clients or have too much going on… then fine, I totally understand. But to not even bother with a call back? That’s just lack of customer service right there. Will be sure to let others know NOT to waste their time here.
My daughter took her Bernedoodle to Scotti's for its first hair cut. They did a GREAT job! She & I could not be more pleased. She will definitely be a repeat customer.
They have done a fantastic job with my Mountain Curr Soco for a couple years so far, and we just brought our golden doodle puppy Steve in for his 1st trim, on the House! Always a phenomenal experience, 6 out of 5 stars!
Scotti does a phenomenal job on my 2 collies and 2 Pomeranians. My one Pom has alapecia and she has him looking like a show dog 😊. Amazing. Scotti is so flexible to work with and with scheduling. Awesome work at reasonable prices. 👍👍👍👍👍👌😊
Scotti’s Dog House is great! Terri is the absolute best. Everyone is very professional and friendly. I fully trust them with my little rescue dog and he also loves them!
They are an amazing group of animal lovers! One of our dogs is leary of new people. With care and patience, he now enjoys daycare with his brothers and sister. Thank you for being patient!
Very knowledgeable, helpful and fun place for my pup for daycare and for boarding. My other two dogs only used boarding and appeared to love it. I decided to try another local daycare and my dog refused to go willingly, was terrified and crying and had an accident in fear trying to get out on the 2nd visit. I immediately left with her after they laughed and shamed me went to Chelstars to see if she was just having an off day and my pup ran straight to the staff wiggling her tail full of excitement. I guess having all the bells and whistles and cute Facebook page doesn’t mean anything. I trust my dogs vibe and also trust Rob and his staff. They love on my dogs like they are their own. No regrets trying a different place out because now I know Chelstars is where my doggos belong when they need to play or go for boarding. If your dog is hesitant about a place trust them.
We've been going to Chelstars for almost 20 yrs. Never had an issue. The facility is clean. They are flexible, always available. Brandon is an excellent groomer, as is the rest of the staff. Their prices for daycare, boarding, and grooming are reasonable. Staff is knowledgeable in training and, over the years, has been beneficial in training our pups.
We used to take our dogs here. We asked if we could see where they would be kept, a quick look at the kennels or cages. They told us they don’t allow that. Every other boarder is fine with that-- good places want to show off their facilities. Why not here? So we now drive to Peebles even though we are a block from Chelstars. Some owners can't get out of their own way.
We've been bringing our furbabies to Chelstar's for the last 13 years. All of our dogs have loved it there & go wild in the car as we approach the driveway. The staff are wonderful & go out of their way to make sure every animal is cared for - even when our last shih tzu had glaucoma and required eye drops several times a day.
They have been great! The staff is so friendly and helpful. I thought they might have a problem with my generally nervous dog, but they know knew just how to handle her! Great job! We will be back...
I LOVE this place. Hands down the best place to board my dog. He's been going here for years and he's almost 12 years old. I used to take my other pets here too. My dog enjoys going here and gets the care and exercise he needs while I'm away. I highly recommend going here to board your pets.
I have used Chelstars for about 10 years, for multiple dogs including one that was difficult to say the least. They are spectacular. The owner is present, and shows a genuine love and care for what they do. Last time I had my "Poppy" there for a haircut and nail trim I watched one of the employees spending time with the dogs outside (doggy recess) I watched him play with them, entertain them and help them run and get some energy out. Clearly someone who loves there job. He didn't know I was watching but it just reassured me that my dog is in good hands. Can't say I would ever go anywhere else!
In the past, our dog has enjoyed this boarder. She takes a daily anxiety medication, one that causes severe mental distress when quit cold turkey. They, apparently, decided that our dog should not take her medicine and did not give any to her. We picked her up 9 days later in a pitiful state. She was skin and bones, looking as if she hadn’t eaten since we dropped her off. I’m fearful that, had we been gone another couple days, she would have died. 2 months later, she is just beginning to regain weight. We will not be returning here because they show a clear lack of concern for the true well-being of your pets. Do you pet a favor and look elsewhere. You may save their life.
Great place to leave your pets on boarding
