Elizabeth
Bennington County, Vermont
Conscientious cat sitter eager to care for your home
Elizabeth is such an amenable and reliable housesotter - it’s a breeze to work with her. She is very organized, clear about arrivals and departures, attentive to our cats and very good about sending photos and updates every few days. She works from home so she spent more time with them than we sometimes do, and both parties seemed to relish each other’s company! Elizabeth is also smart, thoughtful and resourceful.

Premium Pet Grandparents
Jerry and Michelle are so great! From viewing their profile and reviews, I knew our dogs would be in great hands while we were out of town. Communication was smooth and reliable throughout the whole process, from the initial zoom to when we made it back to our respective homes. During the house tour on the first day of the visit, we were very comfortable and got along great. We received photos of the pups each day, usually with funny captions and usually with the dogs under their blankets. The house was super tidy when we got back, and we appreciated the fresh sheets after our 9-hour drive home. We would not hesitate to have Jerry and Michelle come back again - hopefully with nicer weather next time!

Alice was super helpful, taking care of Xabat and our home with short notice. She is thoughtful and tidy and we are grateful!
Leslie
Bennington County, Vermont
For the animals, loving companion
Leslie was wonderful! I would highly recommend her. She did an excellent job taking care of our 4 horses, 3 dogs, and Earle Kitty. When we arrived home, they all looked happy and well kept. She texted updates and sent pictures every morning. The house, I couldn't even tell she had stayed. Leslie washed towels and bed sheets and remade her bed. She is a lovely person to be around.
Karen

Experienced Attorney, Writer, Traveler, Coach and Dancer.
This is the second time Karen has sat for us and hopefully she will be sitting for us again this August.
Kristina
Bennington County, Vermont
Writer/teacher/artist and animal lover
Kristina did an excellent job as our house sitter. We have quite a few house plants in our home and in a small green house. Kristina took great care of them. She communicated with us and sent photos whenever she was concerned about a plant. Her concerns were unwarranted as she took excellent care of them. She also communicated well with us regarding some issues with the house. Upon returning from a six-week trip we found our house sparkling clean and well taken care of. We would be happy to have Kristina sit for us again and recommend her without hesitation
Nancy
Bennington County, Vermont
PET-LOVERS, WITHOUT THEIR OWN, WISH TO HELP OTHERS
Lovely people and wonderful sitters. The cats were happy and my home was well cared for. Nancy communicated well through the sit and was flexible setting up arrival and departure times. She and Dan would be welcome back anytime!
Rebecca
Bennington County, Vermont
Digital Nomad w/ 10+ Years House-Sitting Experience
Rebecca is very sweet and incredibly considerate. We had a nice long zoom call before confirming the sit and she was easy to talk to. At the time I had two kitties and one was very ill. Rebecca asked thoughtful questions and had so much experience that my stress and anxiety were alleviated; I was grateful to have found her and felt completely comfortable entrusting my kitties and little piece of paradise to her. Unfortunately my Fizzy Fitzy's health deteriorated and he didn't make it. I let Rebecca know before the sit that it would be only one kitty and that he would be adjusting to the loss of his "brother" and companion and might need more care and attention. She was so kind and again, I felt like the universe had sent me the right person. Rebecca and I got a chance to meet as we overlapped by an hour or two on day one; I was so glad to be able to see her in person and give her a hug before I left. I returned after about 10 days to a calm kitty (which was amazing given that he'd just lost his lifelong companion) and an immaculate apartment. Rebecca even washed the sheets and made the bed which was so beyond helpful and appreciated after a tiring trip. Rebecca sent me a long message on the last day letting me know what had been done and showing a walk-through of the home (she's very thorough, which I love), so I knew what I was coming home to down to the fruit in the fridge. Seriously, the place was immaculate! I know you're journeying on Rebecca but I would love to have you sit anytime. Thank you!
Sunil
Bennington County, Vermont
Responsible & non-flakey. Neat and tidy. Experienced homeowner.
Sunil is an excellent house-sitter. Great communication before and during the sit, with many fun photos. Sunil took great care of our cats, houseplants and home. It is people like Sunil that makes zeewoi a success. We hope he will be available to return to our home in the future. Many thanks to Sunil.
Wesley
Bennington County, Vermont
Responsible, young professional.
Wesley was our very first exposure to zeewoi and he certainly did not disappoint! What a great experience. We felt safe being gone for almost 20 days while our Leo was in excellent hands. Wesley was excellent at communicating, sending photos of Leo and even describing some of their activities, which made our vacation that much better. He also shared with us that he was enjoying the town and our restaurants which made us happy to know he was doing well himself. Wesley, not only kept Leo happy and well exercised (our mail man said they walked as much as he does every day!) but he also kept our plants alive and kept the house spotless. He even went as far as washing his linens and remaking his room! Definitely a star pet sitter, and I certainly hope he will consider staying with Leo again.
Reviews from Dog Owners
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.
Jacqueline
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Julianne
Emily and Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one. We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Adrienne
We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house again

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

If you need a sitter don’t hesitate to pick Vanessa, I highly recommend her. She cared for our fur baby for two weeks and received the care and attention she needed. We came back to a very happy pup and clean home which is awesome after coming back from a long trip. I received texts and pictures of our dog while we were gone which gave us peace of mind. You could tell right from the start that she genuinely loves animals and will care for them as if they are hers. I will continue to use her as my pet sitter if she’s available. All I can say is she is a wonderful person!!
Nadine
Katie & Kevin jumped in last-minute, as our sitters had to cancel. And what can I say: We couldn't have chosen better even if we would had more choices and time. Katie & Kevin were so easy to communicate with and the first meeting and handoff were so easy and smooth. We could go on vacation with peace of mind knowing our dog and 2 ponies are in the best hands. Katie & Kevin: Thank you so much for looking after our animals so well !!!
Sarah
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Sidney & Larry
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!
Deimantė
Liz did an amazing job babysitting our home and our pets (3 cats and a dog). Communication with Liz was easy and we felt at ease knowing that everything was being taken care of. Liz took our dog Summer for daily walks and kept her entertained. We got regular photos of our pets which were great. She even looked after and watered many of our outdoor and indoor plants! She was very tidy and our home was left spotless. If you are looking for a sitter we can't recommend Liz highly enough!

Equinox Pet Care is fantastic. Our dog loves her walks with Morgan. Morgan provides great updates (and pictures), is organized and prompt. I know our dog is in great hands with him.
Morgan is great and my dogs love him! He took the girls for a nice little walk. They are both 14 yrs old and one is nearly blind and deaf and they loved the walk! Morgan sent pictures so I knew they were happy! I won’t worry about leaving them for a long day home again!!
Morgan is so amazing with my senior rescue girl, Bambi!! She loves him so much and he always bends over backwards to accommodate. He has even helped me out in several emergencies. Bambi even got a lovely bag of treats for Christmas. Amazing, trustworthy pet sitter!!
Our OES took an IMMEDIATE SHINE to Morgan / owner of this professional and reliable dog walk service . Scheduling and fees all streamlined and easy to work with, with Equinox Pet Care we don’t have to worry about anything. Thx!
I highly recommend Equinox Pet Care! Morgan is the best! He is reliable, professional, and takes such good care the animals who have been entrusted to his care.
We're so grateful to have Morgan come daily for our 2yr old dog & 15wk old puppy. Our two dogs can be pretty wild together and require careful supervision; Morgan's expertise regarding dog behavior has been so reassuring! Our dogs are safe and happy every day when I come home from work. Morgan also does our puppy's daily feedings, and is great about sticking to our household routines/ training. He sends us so many lovely pictures, and we also get to watch updates on EPC social media. If the future, we would not hesitate to use EPC for overnight/ special visits. Morgan and I connected in a last-minute/ emergency situation wherein we needed a new dog walker ASAP, and he responded immediately! Has been wonderful ever since. Would highly recommend Morgan/ Equinox Pet Care!
Morgan took great care of our pup while we skiied near Manchester. He was super flexible with scheduling and very responsive (even during the week he had a baby, unbelievably!) our dog was happy and tired :)
Equinox pet care did a great job with our two dogs! He took them hiking, was always on time, and sent photo updates each visit. They get so excited whenever he comes over to pick them up. Highly recommend!
Morgan is the best. Calm cheerful reliable .. he is all the good things. Our dogs and kitty all love him. So do we! Hikes treats overnights … he does it all. I give him my highest recommendation.
My dogs are so lucky to have Equinox Pet Care! They are always responsible and reliable! I highly recommend them!

Thank you so so much for all the kind words. Don't know what we would have done without you for so many years. Hector's favorite days were Tuesday and Thursday when he got to go to "camp" All we had to say is time for camp and he got so excited to go to Wagmore. When he got to Wagmore he would just jump out of the car. Even with bad hips!!! He loved his vacations there. Sometime when I would pick him up he would go back to Damien. He loved him so much. He loved all of you. And so do I! Wagmore has been so wonderful to Hector over the years. We will miss the wonderful staff on drop off days. They are so great! I am so sorry that Hector passed in his sleep at your place. I can't think of another place he loved so much. It made us feel so much better knowing he was taken care off so kindly and professionally by you. We will NEVER forget that. Nancy and Amos Brown Jamaica, VT
We have had nothing but good experiences with Wagmore Kennels. We bring our rather active Lab to daycare every week. She always comes home exhausted and happy! You can really tell that the people at Wagmore genuinely care about the pups as they get to know each one personally. We never worry about leaving our dog in their care.
My 2 Sheepadoodles had a great time and were very happy! They did daycare during the day and were boarded overnight for 8 nights. I will definitely leave them there again when I go away.
Cassie and Sam and all of the staff at Wagmore take loving care of my dog, whether he attends day camp or boards overnight. Wagmore is bright and airy and my pup is happy and calm when he comes home to me. Highly recommend.
We love this kennel when we're in Vermont. It's very convenient to Stratton and Manchester and our golden loves going to daycare at Wagmore while we ski. The owners are a really nice young couple who go out of their way to accommodate your schedule and make sure your dog is happy and comfortable.
We were so happy with Wagmore and all of the great people taking care of our dogs! Our terrier can be a bit of a handful, but Rachel and her staff welcomed him and both our dogs just had a great time!! Thanks Wagmore (^.^)
I brought my timid dog for daycare. There were no attempts to win over his trust with treat or toys. They just grabbed his leash and tried pulling him toward the kennel. When this didn’t work a different employee came over and said, “your not going to like me” and grabbed him by his harness and attempted to drag him. No surprise that these two techniques didn’t work. I gave two stars because the kennel itself looked nice but the employees have no idea how to deal with timid dogs. Edit in response to owner. Our dog wasn't frightened until they started to pull him by the lead. How would giving him treat in the entrance without any other dogs around lead to resource guarding? Our dog absolutely loves other dogs and is very well socialized with dogs. The problem was not with dogs is was how the employees failed to gain any trust with the dog before dragging him on lead. I would highly recommend professional training for your staff. Edit in response to the owners edit. You obviously were not there. We didn't help ourself to treats in the front office. Your staff of teenagers absolutely draged and forced our pup with no attempt to gain trust. I'm also sorry we brought our pup to your establishment. Satisfy owners needs? We don't need daycare, never had needed it. We just wanted to get him comfortable with boarding. He is house trained, has a 16 acre farm to explore, and always comes with us on trips. Don't worry though, if we ever do need to board him we found the perfect match at The Barn at Off The Hook Kennels. They took the few minutes to gain his trust. It's crazy how people who know how to work with dogs can easily gain the trust of unsure pups.
I trust Wagmore with my furry daughter, Penny, 100%! When I first adopted her, she was a wild seven-month-old puppy, and bringing her to daycare twice a week was a blessing - she would leave and be (a good, healthy) exhausted for 48 hours! I've also boarded Penny overnight multiple times. I love when they post pictures of her on their Facebook account, and I know she's in good hands. They have been so responsive and accommodating when my schedule has changed last minute.
Very friendly staff who care about the dogs in their care. Our dog loves it so much that we now have to spell Wagmore rather than say the word as he gets too excited if we say the word. The kennel is very clean with safety a big priority. Our experience there has been GREAT.
We love Wagmore. Our dog always enjoys herself and comes home happy as can be. They are always professional and I feel very comfortable bringing my dog there. Highly recommend.
Pawnal Pets
Recent Reviews:
Great place for pets; our dog comes back very happy every time. We joke that she likes us pretty well, but loves her friends at Pawnal Pets. Really lovely staff. Highly recommended!
My dog and I used to love Pawnal Pets. I didn't have my own car, and had to rely on other people for rides for a year. Other people let me down. I called twice the same day to cancel two grooming appointments. They will no longer accept my dog for grooming or boarding, even now that I have my own car.
They seem like very nice young people with a very nice business and a good attitude. I feel confident my pet will be well taken care of.
Pawnal Pets is a great place! My three dogs have stayed several times and are happy while there. I love that they have "play" time and can socialize. Now they offer grooming so the dogs come home clean, groomed and happy. I highly recommend Pawnal Pets!
Tammy was helpful and knowledgeable about their operations. Suites are big enough for two 100lbs dogs Fair prices. Clean and well maintenance. Seems safe, but this is our first visit.
Pawnal pets have been an amazing find for us and our 3 dogs and 2 cats. They are always so accommodating and I just love the picture updates of our guys having so much fun. Highly recommend them!
After a week away I came back to two very happy cats! They had an entire room to climb and play in, I was very impressed with the facilities. I highly recommend Pawnal Pets, and will definitely return in the future.
Ashley did a great job with our 14 year old cockapoo, Cinnamon. His cut was great and he seemed to enjoy his time with her.
An absolutely wonderful place to board your pets while away. Our kitties love coming here for their vacations while we take ours & the prices are more than fair.
Had a trip to Europe planned and my traveling companion had made a reservation for her dog to stay here for the week. Owner insisted she did NOT need to meet the dog in advance even though my friend told her he was a rescue and was still working out behaviors. Brought dog to drop off with less than an hour to spare to make our plane to England and owner refused dog. Less than ideal accommodations had to be made for his care with her refusal to meet him in advance.
