Catherine was the best! We loved having her come and sit for our cats. I didn’t worry and was very relieved to have her at our house and watching our cats. I highly recommend Catherine to anyone. She is wonderful!!

Retired, non-smoking couple looking to travel while caring for houses and pets.
Jess and Matt have house/cat sat for us previously, so we were very reassured to know that they would be coming again. We didn’t worry at all while we were away, as we knew Gizmo and our home were in safe hands. We find them to be a very capable, respectful and friendly couple. They sent regular photo updates and we could tell that our cat was very settled - which was also apparent on our return. J&M communicated really well prior to the sit, letting us know when they had arrived in the country and the times they would be arriving and leaving. They cared for our home exceptionally well. They even topped up cat food crunchies and changed bedding, and the house was very clean and tidy which was joy to return home to. We would strongly recommend them as house/pet sitters. You’re welcome back anytime - thank you so much.

Dependable pet/house sitter with vet tech experience willing to travel to you!
Karla practically became a family member to my boys. They were well cared for and her vet tech experience came in handy. My home was spotless upon return and I'd welcome her back anytime. She's checked back to make sure my guys are doing well once she left. I appreciate her attention to detail.

Trustworthy, non-smoking, professional woman or couple to love your pets!!
Another great sit from Janet! We feel so fortunate to have found her. Leaving our Ruby for such a time period would never be possible without the confidence we have in Janet. It's heart breaking the day we leave, but we always rest assured that Ruby will be living her best life while we are away!

Randy & Joyce. Let us spoil your pet and care for your home so you can travel.
I can't say enough good things about my experience with Randy and Joyce! From the first initial call with them my husband and I felt comfortable and at ease. I was fortunate to meet them before their sit and felt even more at ease seeing how nicely they got along with our Margie cat. Everything went super smooth during their stay and they sent plenty of adorable updates. We came back to a spotless house and a perfectly spoiled little critter 🥰. I hope they enjoyed their time in Philly and with Margie...they are welcome back any time!

Single active traveler that loves to spend time away from home with animals!
Mike was the best. - I’m pretty sure our dog was sad to see him go he took such good care of her. His communication is great. If you get the chance to have Mike sit for you - take him.

Caring, respectful, experienced house sitter to keep your fur babies company.
Annie befriended Katherine within minutes of her arrival and was curled up where Katherine had slept when we returned home. She was a very content kitty. Annie’s only special need is a thorough daily brushing; the lack of mats in her fur when we returned told us that she had been well cared for. We’re pleased that Katherine will be coming back for another sit next spring.
Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back
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!
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs! I highly recommend her!!
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
We initially accepted Deirdre and Jason for a long stay to look after our dogs. We were very happy they accepted. A few weeks later we realized we needed another sitter for another trip we had planned. So, we posted more dates on zeewoi. To our happy surprise, Deirdre and Jason reached out to us saying they could also look after our dogs and home with the new dates we posted. This made our life much easier and we were very confident to have Deirdre and Jason stay longer with us and care for our dogs. We were definitely right!! D&J have countless experiences on zeewoi with very good reviews from all of their previous sits. They are very experienced with all aspects of a house/pet sitting. D&J are very self-sufficient, have the background knowledge and education of pet care, and most importantly a genuine love for all animals. This is most important for my wife and I. We knew from the first meeting with our pups they loved animals. Communication was excellent. The process before and during our sit was stress-free for us. We were given daily updates on our dogs including photos and videos. Any concerns D&J had were vocalized to us. D&J are also problem solvers and know how to react many challenging situations. Our routine for our pets was followed immaculately and all dogs were very happy and connected with them. Even our female dog Kinki grew close so quickly with D&J which is very rare. We had ZERO issues while we were gone and we were able to really enjoy our trip while we were away. The dogs definitely love being around D&J. Homecare: We are very pleased with the condition of our home when we returned. It was clean, free of clutter, and exactly how we had left it for them, if not even better! D&J even mowed our grass and took care of our yard! Our yard is not a small garden. It is very big and takes hours to mow. So we were very surprised and excited to know they did that for us even though it's not expected of our sitters!! They definitely went above and beyond what is expected. Our dogs are so very important to us. When we know we can trust our sitters it's the best feeling in the world. We definitely trust Deirdre and Jason with our most prized possessions and we look forward to the next sit with them in a few days!!! We can't thank them enough for giving our dogs the love and attention they deserve. We highly recommend Deirdre and Jason for your future sittings and you can always feel free to contact Izabela and I about D&J for additional verification from us. They are fantastic! Thanks so much Deirdre and Jason! -Allen and Izabela
Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover. They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
Tom and Diana were perfect house sitters and guests. Great company, our dog immediately made herself at home with Tom. Animals loved and cleaned. House spotless, great communication and even left a thank you card and gift when they left. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!!

Not only do we board our fur babies at Lucky Puppy, but they also attend doggy daycare every week. Brenda and her crew are amazing, and it is easy to see their passion for all the daycare kids they care for. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our fur kids!!
Love love love lucky puppy almost as much as my dog Sadie does! Sadie has been going there for years to board whenever I go out of town and can't take her with me. As soon as she smells that country air as we approach the driveway her head perks up and her tail starts wagging. Brenda and her staff are the best!
We are new to the Lucky Puppy family and just started taking our 8-month-old, Millie, to daycare twice a week. She loves it and we love it too. She comes home happy and exhausted from all the playtime with friends (the picture is from her first daycare pickup). Every morning she asks if it is a Lucky Puppy Day? The Lucky Puppy team is wonderful and keeps us updated on her progress there. We loved the welcome on social media Millie got for her first day and the email postcards the team sent of her having fun. We are excited for Millie to have her first overnight at Lucky Puppy later this month, as it is truly her home away from home. Highly Recommend!
July 16, 2024 - Oski came home this morning from another awesome boarding stay (7 days) at Lucky Puppy. She regularly attends daycare and boards occasionally when we are out of town. She always seems very happy with her canine friends there and comes home happy and healthy! Thank you Lucky Puppy Team!
Both of my dogs went thru the Star Puppy Program thru Lucky Puppy and they also go to daycare there 3 times a week! The puppy program was great for teaching them basic commands such as Sit, Stay, Down, Come, Leave It, Heel, Touch, along with working with distractions. There was also good advice on unwanted behaviors such as chewing, jumping, digging and advice on good dog food. I am excited for the next set of classes to start up! As for the doggy daycare itself, my dogs have a blast! They come home tired and sleep almost an entire day and then they go back off to daycare to get worn out again! I get "postcards" emailed to me with pictures of my dogs having fun with their other dog friends - whether they are playing chase, jumping in the pool, chewing on sticks, running in the rain, or romping thru a giant mud puddle! They come home a little dirty sometimes, but the staff always try to rinse them off before going home - I find it to be a sign that they had a super fun day! Calista and Xanthe give two Paws up for a great time (and lots of stick chewing!) every time they come! All in all I would 100% recommend both the training and the daycare at Lucky Puppy!
There is no place anywhere like Lucky Puppy! He is outside all day playing with his buddies and in there house in the evening. A perfect second home for my puppy😊❤️ …
I sent my puppy, Stanley, to the 3 week board and train program at Lucky Puppy. I was immediately impressed with the facility and professionalism. They truly put the dog's best interests forward. I knew my baby was gong to be in the best of care! I was missing him so much and was e-mailed "post cards" with pictures of him having the best time! When I picked him up I noticed such a positive difference in him. They showed him so much love and care that I just knew I had to send him back for daycare! (We already scheduled him for next week!). I would give ten stars if I could! Two paws up from Stan Man.
I started StarPuppy at Lucky Puppy after having taken a basic manners class with my puppy elsewhere. At 8 months, my puppy understood those basic commands but most of the time she was ignoring me. StarPuppy bridged the gap. Brenda taught me how to cultivate my puppy’s respect through my tone, body language, expectations and rewards. In class we got lots of one on one time and each owner was given specific techniques personalized to their dog. During playtime, Brenda gave consequences and redirection to rough play that the pups understood and responded to. We learned preventative solutions to problem behaviors like jumping and chewing that just worked. At home, we saw HUGE changes to our pup almost immediately. One morning as I let my puppy out into my yard I noticed a skunk scurrying down my driveway. I watched my entire day flash before my eyes, my first thought, “I’m going to have to call off work”. I couldn’t believe that when I called my puppy (my puppy who LOVES to chase) that SHE CAME!?!!!! StarPuppy is worth well beyond the price of the course! I also use daycare services as well and couldn’t be happier with them. Brenda sends me high quality photos of my pup having a blast weekly. Can’t recommend this business enough.
My labradors have been coming to Lucky Puppy for 14 years. They come once a week usually. We also board. It MAKES their week. Swimming, being around their own kind, etc just makes them joyful. And then they sleeeeep!🙂. Thank you to Brenda and her great staff.
Words alone do not justify the amount of value and peace of mind Lucky Puppy has brought to my family. Our dog, Calyx, used to spend the better part of his days during the week at our house, alone, waiting for us to come home. Unfortunately, typically by the time we returned to him we were tired from a long days work and not in a mood to get out and play with him. We considered daycare for some time, however were unable to find a care provider that we could trust our beloved fur baby with. I expanded to more remote locations, and that's when I came across Lucky Puppy... Their website was great, lots of amenities and services offered for the dogs. The aspect that sold me almost instantly was their Cage-Free philosophy, the freedom to roam and play free of confined spaces was an awesome thought. After a couple weeks of back-and-forth communication with Lucky Puppy, we showed up with our dog for his orientation. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but the staff that manage this business are VERY well trained and disciplined in their methods of handling dogs. We took a quick tour of the grounds and were very satisfied with the arrangements they had in place. The next week, we started bringing Calyx for 3-Days a week (Mon-Wed-Fri) while we are at work from approximately 7:30AM - 5:00PM. He has never been so mellow and relaxed while at home! Being able to play with the pack all day at Lucky Puppy has put him in a much better physical and mental health from what we can tell. His veterinarian also noticed how much more lean and muscular he was after a couple months of daycare. When the time came to go on vacation, Lucky Puppy was there for us and took in Calyx for a total of 10 Days while we went on a cruise in the Caribbean. In previous years, we left him with family/friends while away. When staying at friends/family they often preferred crating him to reduce risk. Crating is not part of his normal routine, so this added additional stress on-top of already being separated from us for a length of time. Lucky Puppy is 100% cage free, and he was able to roam about the house to find a spot he was most comfortable to sleep in, just like he does when he's at home with us. Good luck finding another daycare/boarding facility of this caliber with that kind of freedom and luxury... Keeping our dog with friends/family typically left us with a sense of worry and doubt, as we were not certain as to how well he was being treated. Knowing that the staff at lucky puppy are well trained in how to properly take care of our dog helped put our minds at ease, and I can say with confidence that we did not worry for a moment during the length of this last 10 Day trip. Every aspect of our experience so far with Lucky Puppy has been AWESOME, and I look forward to continuing services for our dog and any future dogs with Lucky Puppy for the foreseeable future!
Paws ‘n Pads is the best doggy daycare in Ypsi!! I have been bringing my dog Koda there for 3 years for both daycare and boarding since he was just 16 weeks old! Being a GSD, Koda has so much energy and PnP has been a God send for us. No other doggy daycare we’ve tried has ever been as accommodating as them. When my mother-in-law suddenly passed away they were so gracious in boarding Koda last minute. As a nurse who works 12 hour shifts and weekends, it can be difficult to find a daycare that opens early enough and closes late enough to accommodate my schedule. PnP has always been incredible at flexing around my schedule if I need to drop him off a little early on weekends. Not to mention their staff is INCREDIBLE! All the girls are so sweet and lovely and I can tell they genuinely love the dogs they care for. Not only does Koda recognize the street that PnP is on and gets so excited to run inside and give the girls kisses but they seem equally as excited to see him. They are so patient with Koda and his kangaroo jumps and big slobbery kisses. I have no qualms about trusting them with Koda’s care. I think, as with anything in life, expectations need to be managed for what to expect from ANY doggy daycare. Dogs are dogs and they will sometimes play rough and get slobbery and be…well, dogs! There are several reviews commenting on the “inconvenience” of having to bathe their dogs after daycare and claiming they smell of urine. Koda has never, ever smelled like urine. He can be sticky from slobbery play sometimes but that just tells me he had a good day playing with his friends! I would never expect PnP to wash and groom my dog for me without paying for that service. For the people who want to complain about providing their pet basic hygiene, maybe doggy daycares and pet ownership aren’t for you.
I want to update my past experience at PNP over the past 6 years with my two pups. I appreciate the family atmosphere and ownership of PNP. However, I have noticed things slipping over the past couple years. My first dog Blue loved going there even though he had a lot of anxiety issues from his past (rescue pup). However, I did notice when I would pick him up Blue would smell of urine. I have also noticed the same issue with other husky Loki. The issues started adding up to the point where I no longer take Loki to PNP. Loki came home with Kennel cough after a short boarding stay. Then his next two stays Loki came home limping. I learned from an employee that Loki spent the entire night trying to escape from his kennel and injured himself in the process. Luckily his limp was a soft tissue injury and it healed itself. Loki would come home with minor scrapes which was attributed to rough play (fair enough for a husky) and one time he tried to befriend one of the foster cats in the lobby. I was always contacted by them when this occurred. I also noticed Loki starting to get nervous when and refuse to enter PNP. Clearly Loki was telling me something. He is never nervous or anxious about anything. The final straw for me was when I was bringing Loki for daycare and nobody was in the building! It was an hour after their posted opening. There was about five other cars in the parking lot and we were all trying to reach the owner, Penny. It took all five of us calling and sending Facebook messages for 30 minutes to reach someone. Since that incident, I have been taking Loki to Pup City Daycare. Their owner has education and training in dog behavior. They also ensure dogs are placed in play groups based on a dog’s personality. The webcams at their business ensure there is transparency at what occurs while your pup is in their care. Some recommendations for improvements. -install webcams that allow your customers to check in on their pups. This will increase transparency -Hire enough staff to lower the dog:staff ratio. Also ensure your staff is trained in animal behavior and group behavior. -Use dog safe cleaning products. Bleach should never be used. It is not safe for dogs and will cause chemical burns. I want to support PNP but I no long in good conscience support them. I feel bad because they were the first daycare that took care of my pups.
Hit or miss. Sometimes its great no issues and occasionally there will be some small stuff like dogs feeling low energy or very thirsty when we take them home. We left a toy for our dog this past time as we were told it's allowed when he doesnt board/mingle with the big group but on pick up we could see it clearly wasn't given to him. They're definitely reliable and helpful though. Often will have space for the boarding. Even picked up food for our dogs since our bag ran out. I do like the fb page photos and getting to see all the dogs there that day.
Would go lower if I could. This place not only has the audacity to call deep wounds and smelling of pee normal but seems to brush that type of behavior under the rug.. Could amount to animal abuse in my own opinion.
Love this place!! My dog hope loves it! The employees are very sweet and kind! Highly recommend. Attached is my dog at the daycare :)
I do not recommend this place. Staff is friendly but they do not take proper care of dogs. I took my dog henry there a few times and every time he has come back smelling like pee and covered in pee. I always have to give him a bath after because his fur is sticky and he smells terrible. Truly don’t recommend.
No place if rather take my dog. Staff is fantastic and caring. Place is clean, they even help the community by fostering animals!
Dropped our blind dog off for some R&R after hiking in very hot and humid conditions several days. She rested in air conditioning with just the right amount of social interaction. Staff was professional and friendly. It was a brief but very positive experience for our dog. Thank you Paws'n Pads!
My dogs absolutely love it here! They have the best time and I wouldn't trust my dogs with anyone else!
Great place with a wonderful caring staff. I love the daily pics. And the fact they partner with a rescue is just wonderful!
