Maureen
Algonquin Hills, Virginia
Never cancelled a sit, all boosters, non-smoker, traveling solo
Maureen was a treat from start to finish with our home and cat, Poppy! She is perhaps one of the most organized sitters we have encountered on zeewoi. Her resume speaks for itself. She was eager to sit, despite it being a somewhat short notice (about 10 days). Upon arrival we received pictures of Poppy to let us know that she was in good hands. We also got daily updates in the evenings, which we enjoy. Maureen stayed at our home during the coldest stretch of the year, and came prepared with heating blankets, etc, which we appreciated as we only have space heaters currently. We would be happy to host Maureen any time. Her communication and experience are certainly top notch and your pet will be in great hands!
Elena
Algonquin Hills, Virginia
Quiet, reliable and responsible cat (and small dog) lady
This was our first time using a Trusted Sitter, and I'm so grateful Elena chose to stay with our precious pup. He's a senior dog that requires a little extra attention, and Elena was so kind and caring with him. From our very first zoom call to get to know one another, I knew Elena would be a great fit. She was very organized, told us what she needed to know, and was very flexible when our dates changed a bit. Elena sent several pictures of Beamer every day. My kids eagerly awaited to see what their brother was up to while we were away. He looked so happy in all of his pictures. She took him for walks and gave him plenty of cuddle time. Elena also took such great care of our home. We arrived back to a spotless house! Our experience with Elena was more than I could have hoped for using Trusted Sitter. It was like having an old friend stay over. I highly recommend Elena, and hope she will be available to stay the next time we go on vacation!
Olivia
Algonquin Hills, Virginia
Hi! I am Olivia, and my partner's name is Belrie. We look forward to meeting you
I am so fortunate because I had to cancel this sit at the last moment and Olivia and Belrie were extremely understanding. All our communications leading up to the sit were phenomenal, and I can't wait to have them stay with Pearl soon.
Monica
Algonquin Hills, Virginia
Non-smoking remote worker eager to love your pets as my own!
Monica was an outstanding house sitter. She communicated well, took very good car of our cat, and was very gracious after a falling tree limb took out the internet. We would definitely invite her to sit again.
Sharon
Algonquin Hills, Virginia
Traveling professional with a love for new experiences!
Sharon was just a wonderful sitter. She has an engaging, positive personality and is full of energy. We were happy with the updates and photos of 2 content Goldens, whether on a trail or chilling by her feet. It is so wonderful to go away knowing your fur babies are loved and cared for in their own home. Will need to come up with a trip so we can invite this special lady back.

Jordan
Algonquin Hills, Virginia
Flexible, reliable, & adventurous married couple. Animal loving + Travel ready!
Jordan and Alexander were absolutely wonderful pet and house sitters during our 3.5 weeks away. Jordan kept in contact with us with pictures and updates about our dog, and it was clear both she and Alexander are real animal lovers. They took wonderful care of our home, plants and garden as well, and we came back to a clean and tidy house and a happy dog. If they had any questions, they would just ask, and they took care of everything that was needed while we were traveling. We highly recommend them for any house and pet sit opportunity, and hope they will come back to our home again next time we go away. Thank you, Jordan and Alexander!

Maeve was very communicative and kept us updated on our pups and house during her stay. Prior to her visit, she was very organized with a list of questions so she was well informed before she arrived. The dogs seemed happy and well cared for while we were gone. Recommend her to others.

Sharon took great care of our two dogs! She sent pictures and updates frequently. The house was kept neat and clean and all of the plants were taken care. 5 stars.

We hope to make the acquaintance of both you and your pets!
Nicole was amazing! This was the second time she sat for Leo and she was great again. She expertly navigated Leo dealing with digestive issues, was communicative, and took great care of Leo and my home. After her first time sitting, I reached out immediately to see if she was free for this sit.

Kylie was a great sitter for my dogs. She kept in contact and sent pictures and took them on many walks which they love. She has her own sweet little dog that keeps to herself and was just fine with my 2. I would recommend Kylie to anyone looking for a housesitter
Abby
David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again! David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away. They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out! David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it! I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)
Nathalia
I was very happy with the love and affection that was very apparent when Travis and Shannon met the pups. I received one picture on my trip and was happy to see Shannon cuddled under a doggie pile. Nothing like seeing your dogs being loved by others as their own. Every thing was in its place when I return which was nice. I also received a welcome home gift handmade by them which was very lovely and made my day. I highly recommend them as trustworthy and reliable pet sitters to anyone.
Natalie
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
Wendy & Rob
Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.
Sheri
We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!

Lea is seriously the best! We lucked out big time with her as our house sitter. She didn't just watch our home; she made it sparkle, and our dog Mezy? Well, he fell head over paws for her! Mezy's doesn't always warm up to new folks so easily but Lea had this magical charm that had him wagging his tail from day one. She showered him with cuddles and playtime, and we got daily photo updates that were basically cuteness overload. But Lea didn't stop at being the dog whisperer. Every nook and cranny was squeaky clean, and it felt like we were walking into a Pinterest-worthy home. Our plants thrived under her care too. Communication was a breeze with Lea. She kept us in the loop about everything and replied to our messages super quickly. It gave us peace of mind knowing she had everything under control. Lea's not just a house sitter - her friendly, laid-back vibe made everything so easy. We can't thank her enough for taking such great care of Mezy and our home. We're definitely booking her for all our future adventures. If you want your pets to adore your house sitter and come back to a spotless home, Lea is the one to call. Thanks a million, Lea!

I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.

Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.
Teona
Alia is truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used. My husky LOVES her. Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly. She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia. She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)

Giselle is wonderful and took such great care of my pups. I had to extend their stay by one day and there was no issue. I highly recommend her and my dogs will be back! She also sent home the sweetest care package with them.
Giselle and Brian of Canine Comforts did an incredible job taking care of my four-legged friend. Typically, I try to arrange for a friend or family member to stay at my house or drop by a few times per day to take care of my dog when I have to travel. However, unexpected events required me to travel out of state for a few days and my friends/family who normally watch my dog were unavailable. Thus, I was forced to look into dog boarding services. After researching and calling a few different options, I stumbled upon Canine Comforts. Giselle confirmed that they could take my dog the following morning, and provided clear instructions for me to streamline the intake process. A few hours after I dropped off my dog, Canine Comforts sent me a link to a shared Google Photos album, where they added pictures of my dog throughout his stay. It was really nice to see him running and playing with all the other dogs. Canine Comforts was also incredibly accommodating regarding my dog's pick-up schedule. Originally, I had planned to pick him up from Canine Comforts on Sunday, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I was not able to fly back home until the following day. Canine Comforts was willing to extend my dog's stay and hang onto him for an additional day. Thank you, Giselle and Brian, for making an otherwise stressful last-minute travel experience easy and pain-free! My dog loved staying with you, and I certainly plan to utilize your services in the future.
Working with Giselle & Brian was a blessing. She was accommodating to all my needs especially on a last minute notice when my boarder cancelled last minute. I have taken my pups there multiple times for day care and they come home tired and ready for bed every time. Giselle and Brian have been amazing and would recommend them to anyone looking for boarding or day care.
Our pup spent 5 nights with Giselle and Brian while we were out of town and we were thrilled with the care she received! Giselle and Brian are incredibly knowledgeable and truly care about the dogs they care for. We took so much comfort in knowing that our pup was a part of their family, received individual attention and got to play with new friends. Fantastic communication every step of the way - from scheduling a meet and great to pick up after our trip - and the picture updates were appreciated too. Highly recommend, we will be using Giselle and Brian again!
Super convenient to have non-crate boarding IN Vienna! I’ve been taking our dog to Giselle and Brian for over a year and know he’s in good hands. He gets to play with other dogs, be outside and most importantly, is not caged up at night. Rates at excellent if you buy a package!!
Great place. Owners very responsive and truly love all the dogs they have. My puppy just spent three nights with Giselle and Brian and he was well cared for and came home exhausted from all his playing outdoors. Highly recommend Canine Comforts.
My dog has a hard time leaving, when I come to pick him up. Very professionally organized. It's great to have such a dependable service and knowing your little one is well taken care of!
Great with my nervous little rescue! Very professional and accommodating also.
We’re really happy with Giselle and the way she treated our dog!
Absolutely amazing, great with all kinds of dogs, and the sweetest people ever, who actually love ALL dogs.

This is a fantastic self serve dog wash! Very reasonable prices. A raised tub to save your back with sturdy steps for large dogs. Great selection of shampoos and very good water pressure. Fluffy clean towels and an adjustable hand dryer to get your dog dry. I stopped by while traveling with my dog and I wish this was closer to my house. I would use it all the time in the cold weather. They also have a great selection of healthy natural treats in the lobby! Great place and a very good deal.
My dog Kunu has been attending daycare here for years. He loves to go and I love the fact it wears him out. He is a high energy dog that needs the activity and socialization. Plus, they have the best prices on the raw food he requires because of his digestive sensitivity.
LOVE Paws-N-Play! I have been using them for my cat-sitting needs for almost three years now. Every time I come home I have a report card ready for me to read and my cats seem very well attended. They are also very reasonably priced. The last time I left town I forgot to give my kitten his medications and Paws-N-Play was on it! I feel extremely comforted every time I am away due to the good hands of Paws-N-Play. Thank you for everything you all do!
I’m really sorry to have to do this, as I think Jacqui has the very best intentions in mind. We had an unfortunate experience at Paws & Play and after two days of attending we decided to pull our puppy from this daycare. Below is a list of things went wrong. This is not an intention to bash the daycare’s owner or the daycare itself- but for awareness because we were very disappointed. 1. The website states that dogs are separated by size and temperament. Our puppy was about 15 pounds when he started and when we picked him up, he was with the big, big dogs. He seemed okay, albeit timid, until we met a husky on our very first walk post daycare and reacted in fear and aggression. Before the daycare, our dog approached dogs of all sizes with tail wagging. Luckily we have worked hard with him and he is better now. 2. We provided food for our dog to be fed in the middle of the day as he is a puppy and he gets fed 3 times a day. He did not get his meal fed to him, because she/they forgot to feed him. He was starving when he got home. 3. They open at 6:30, which is when my husband showed up our second day. She didn’t come to open the doors until 6:45. Husband missed the train for work. 4. We were asked what type of food we feed our dog. We responded with “core wellness, both dry and wet”. I was completely judged. She responded, “dry food is a complete waste. Processed food, even if you buy the 80 dollar bag”. Then proceeded to tell me about the food they sell there. Clearly trying to sell to me. There are a few other smaller things that turned us off, but these were the major ones. Unfortunate experience because I really wanted to like this place but I do not feel good leaving our dog there.
Love this place! It's so nice for my deaf pup to have a safe way to play off leash and socialize. It's also the best place, by far, to get healthy food/treats for her.
Service was very nice. We washed our blue healer they only have one tub elevated place is very clean
It was ok, we went late like a hour early and they were preparing to close, so the food wasn't fresh at all.
Very good puppy play! My baby had a ball there every time he visited.
Great prices, quality products, friendly staff.
Jacqui is very friendly and helpful

A Thank You to Lauren and the Story of an Ex-Reactive Rescue Dog ✨ Oh, it was such a joy to finally take my favorite rescue dog, Nessa (an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois), home after a month of walks at the shelter. It was exciting because she was our first dog ever. But after just 5 days, we started noticing serious problems: endless barking (I'm not exaggerating when I say 500 times a day), reactivity towards dogs/people/cats/birds, protective behavior, pulling on the leash, restlessness at home, uncontrollable behavior, it felt dangerous... To be honest, after 10 days, we considered bringing her back to the shelter. We felt so incapable and thought someone else could handle it better. This was not at all the dog we had dreamed of. But then came the turning point. We desperately called Lauren, who guided us from A to Z. Thanks to her help, Nessa transformed in just a few weeks into a happy, relaxed dog. I never could have dreamed back then that we would have such a wonderful dog now. She can now walk off-leash, is no longer reactive, has found peace, is super obedient, is starting to trust people, and our bond is stronger than ever. If you are struggling, I want to encourage you and let you know there is hope. Don’t be afraid to ask for help because a good relationship with your dog is worth its weight in gold. Charlotte
Amazing trainer, who knows a lot about dogs!!! It’s been great to learn and see her in action. No doubt, 100% recommended!! 👌 …
We have been using Off Collar for kitty visits for about 18 months and have nothing but good things to say. They are responsive and prompt. Thank you for taking such good care of Patches!!
My wife and I are happy we found Lauren and Off Collar. Our Great Pyrenees was impossible to walk, constantly barking at other dogs. Enter Lauren and within a short period of time, our dog was walking by our side, not barking and listening to commands. What a wonderful trainer and walker. Thank you Lauren, we couldn’t have done it without you!!!
We (and our pets) love Off Collar! Lauren, Katherine, and Alyzah are so sweet with our babies. It is hard to find someone to trust with a Great Dane. They are big animals but also very sensitive and require a gentle but firm touch. Our boy is always so excited to get walked by any of them, and we’re glad to have people we can rely on to give him some company midday. Katherine also takes care of our two kittens when we are away for vacation. They are very shy, but last month, they finally came out to say hi to her, so they must have decided in the end they like her after all :) Off Collar is also very understanding of emergencies and flexible, which is hugely helpful because we have variable schedules each month.
I love Off Collar! Lauren has been amazing in coordinating and supporting my senior pup! Alyzah, my pup’s wonderful walker, is so good with him and keeps me informed if she notices anything out of the ordinary. They’ve both been very …
We are so grateful to the Off Collar team for helping take care of our dog! Sandi, our walker, was always prompt, friendly, and so patient with our dog Ivy, who is sometimes scared and anxious. She sent detailed updates after every walk, …
We’ve had a few 1-1 sessions with Lauren to help with our reactive dog, Chloe, as well as monthly pack walks. She has been nothing short of phenomenal and has helped us so much! She taught us the skills and tools to help work with Chloe and …
I cannot say enough about how awesome Lauren is! She helped me and my dog work through some behavioral issues recently. I was at my wits end with him and had read/watched everything I could find and nothing seemed to be making a difference. …
Lauren has been great with Karma (dog) and his parents (us). We are learning a lot in such a short amount of time and have already seen a positive difference.
