Melissa was an excellent pet and house sitter! We came back to our home, just as we left it. And our dog, Ema, was so happy and content. Melissa was great with communication and made everything easy.

Dog and cat lover with high degree of flexibility and willingness to travel.
I couldn't be happier with my experience of Greg as a Housesitter. He was exceptionally easy to communicate with from the start, which made the entire process stress-free. Every day, he dedicated extra time to play with my cats, ensuring each one received individual attention. It was clear that he genuinely cared for them, as they seemed happy and well-cared-for upon my return. Additionally, he maintained a very clean space and left my home in great condition. I highly recommend him for any pet-sitting needs; his commitment and care truly made a difference!

Pet Sitter Extraordinaire *Pet CPR + First Aid Certified*
Kim was an incredible cat sitter! She was very friendly, organized, asked great questions before the sit, and took amazing care of our anxious cat Oscar. Oscar is a picky eater and we get nervous leaving him, but we could tell he was in good hands. Kim seemed genuinely excited to hang out Oscar. She sent us detailed, relevant updates on Oscar and our home. She also sent videos of Oscar. Our place was also very clean when we got back. I highly recommend Kim and we would happily have her sit again.

'Carpe Diem' Loving House/Pet Sitter Available
Amanda was absolutely fantastic with our dog Beaux, our turtle, and our home. From the very beginning, she asked thoughtful and detailed questions to ensure she could provide the best care possible. Throughout her time with Beaux, she went above and beyond—scheduling play dates and even taking him to the dog beach to make sure he was happy and well-exercised. Amanda also kept us constantly updated with photos and videos, which made it clear how much Beaux was enjoying himself and feeling loved. When we returned home, our house was spotless, and she had even taken the time to water our plants! We couldn’t have asked for a more attentive, responsible, and caring sitter. Highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for exceptional pet and home care!

Global sitter who quit job, sold house, & gave away my stuff to travel the world
Suzanne is the most organized sitter we have encountered through zeewoi. She actually had a list of 30 well thought out questions for us during our first FaceTime call. She excelled at remaining in communication with us both before and during our sit. Meeting her was like meeting a ray of sunshine. She immediately set out to bond with JD and Leilani from the first moment she met them. Her daily videos were greatly appreciated. It was clear to us that our fur babies were in great hands. When the second leg of our return trip was delayed due to weather which caused the airline to rebook our last leg until the next morning she graciously altered her own plans to accommodate the change in our original plans. She dropped us off at the airport and picked us up upon our return. Suzanne takes pride in her pet sitting and is truly a gem. Your pets will be well cared for. We highly recommend Suzanne.

I cannot say enough good things about Simiao! She was great with communication and sent pictures daily. I never had to worry that Seamus and deegan weren't being looked after. My house was very tidy when I returned. She went above and beyond during this sit. I would welcome her back at anytime!

Honest, enthusiastic work online girl ready to make your pet comfortable & happy
This was Mia's second time housesitting for us and it went as perfectly as the first time. Mia is fantastic and took such good care of our dogs. They loved their long, off-leash hikes and plentiful cuddles. I swear they are all sad that Mia has left.
Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
Eliza was my first sitter after signing up on zeewoi. I’m Soooo happy to have had her in my home watching over my dogs. They were very well taken care of and she did everything I asked her to do with the dogs meals and medication. Plus she took excellent care of my home and plants. If you are lucky enough to get Eliza to stay at your home, you will be so glad it was she who took care of things! Very happy 😃
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
Our dog loved Angela, as did we! She was friendly, efficient, handled our large, happy bernadoodle effectively and with love...we could not have asked for a better dog sitter and would be happy to have her back.
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
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
Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again. My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone. When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels. I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.
We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.
Ryan is a great house and pet sitter and I definitely recommend him. He took excellent care of my apartment and my dog for peace of mind when I was away. He is professional, friendly, and experienced.

I have brought my dog Koda here to be groomed twice. I am trained to groom, but my busy schedule makes it tricky to find the time. Koda is an Akita, so he gets a bath and a deshed blowout. I was very pleased the first visit, as he was very well groomed, all of his undercoat was removed, and my boy barely shed for weeks afterwards. He was also treated exceptionally well by the groomer and the customer service was unmatched. He was a very happy dog! However, the second time we got him groomed here, I think there was a different groomer on staff. She was just as kind, nice, and professional, but when I picked Koda up he was still covered in hair and was still damp. His feet were wet enough to make marks on the sidewalks outside and on the seats of my car. When I got home, I had to give him another blowout with my own velocity dryer to get the remainder of the undercoat out and off of him and to finish drying him off. I was saddened at this second groom because his first one was so well done.
Norman had a great time at the Indian River Pet Resort. They gave him his favorite treat every night before bed. His routine stayed the same so coming home was not a huge adjustment. Thank you to the staff for taking g such great care of Norman! I highly recommend!
We love Indian River Pet Resort. This was the first time we've left our dog and it was great knowing he was there. Brad and his crew are the best.
Indian River Pet Resort's team is absolutely wonderful! I brought my shy Australian Shepherd here for a 2-week stay and she not only made friends with the team of ladies, but it sounds like she also had fun. Plus, they groomed her and she's so soft now! I really appreciate the team for answering all my questions and helping me book my dog's stay rather last minute. I also appreciated the live video stream of my dog's kennel while she was there. I had so much comfort that I knew she was safe and well cared for while I was on vacation. I will be taking my dog back when needed.
We miss you all at Indian River Pet Resort! Roux is no longer with us due to old age, but I want to let anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet, hands down your the best. We never worried about our old boy. ❤️
Our two kitties had a cat condo vacation while we were away. They were happy and relaxed when we picked them up. The cat room is tidy and roomy with really nice cat condos that have climbing and privacy shelves and food and cat box books.
What a great place,our Scruffer is a senior pekingese ,we were very nervous about leaving him for 10 days especially since he hasn't been boarded for 4yrs, the vet is next door and we signed permission to treat if needed. His kennel(4x8) had no access to Webcam but was able to text every day, and he was doing great. We live in The UP of MI was on our way to Detroit. They even bathed him and washed his bed and blanket since he was there more than 7 days. Great staff. Very happy all went well.
My husband and I booked 4 days at the “pet resort” here for our dogs to have quality, stress-free care while at our own wedding last October. With all the wedding prep, we didn’t want to question our dog’s safety. We were so excited to see them, but it turned out to be no fun at all. Right when we walked in, the lady at the front told us that she had to move one of our Boston terriers to a different cage (we had no clue of this). I was shocked and confused - we had left a list of phone numbers to call (our own and other family members who would answer 24/7 since it was our wedding weekend). She assured us that this was okay because it was an “indoor/ outdoor” cage. Our poor boy Boston terrier (who has anxiety) was separated from his sister for reasons they couldn’t explain and they said they couldn’t take him out, hence the indoor and outdoor cage. Our boy came back smelling like urine, along with his bed and toys we left him. At home, he doesn’t use a doggy door, so he probably had no idea that he was allowed to go outside on his own. When we pay for a service, we expect that it’s complete and that just didn’t happen here. Indian River Pet Resort gave up on our dog, put him in a cage for the whole weekend, and let him pee on himself. The lady at the front even said “he might have peed on himself!” because she could smell it too. I was beside myself. What are we supposed to say to that? Leaving your dogs is one of the hardest things to do; they are family. And it’s even worse picking them up in this condition. Guaranteed they wouldn’t treat any of their own dogs this way. We left the dogs with toys and a scooper in their food too - when we picked them up, the scooper was gone; just careless. I would skip this place and try somewhere else. I don’t think any pet parent would find it worth it. We left heartbroken.
We love taking our sweet pups here and have been for a few years! They are so patient and understanding and go above and beyond to care for our furry family member. Vixie always comes home tired out from all the fun she has! Our pups was a rescue with some quirks and we cannot express how much we appreciate their patient care! I wanted to update my review, which will always be 5 stars, and add that they are amazing! Great care next door at the veterinarian too! Highly recommend this place, they treat your pet like family. ❤
Last year, when my relatives/cat care started leaving for the winter, I sought out a kennel that could take my cat when I travelled for more than a couple days. I didn't know if there was such a thing in my area of Northern Michigan. I was aware of Indian River Pet Resort, so it was one that I visited. And I discovered that they have a dedicated and secure cat room with individual and spacious "kitty condos" that are sight and sound separated from the dog area. I tried my cat there and ended up boarding her there several times for up to ten days. This place has been an absolute godsend!!! It's modern, clean, reasonably priced, very accommodating and the staff provides great affectionate care for Sugar every time. She shows no nervousness about arriving there or any issues on pick up. I give IR Pet Resort my highest recommendation! P.S. When I'm there, the dogs out in the large fenced in yard appear to be having a ball playing with each other and the dog kennels inside are very large and secure looking too.
