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

I've always been lucky with my sitters through zeewoi, and this time was no exception. George, Larissa and their four lovely children were the absolute perfection in house guests and I cannot praise this wonderful family too highly. They did all the usual things you'd expect, gave my beautiful girls all the love and care I could wish, walked them at least once every day despite the best the British weather could throw at them, and sent me regular updates and photos so I could see how much love they were getting. They also left the house cleaner and tidier than I think I've ever seen it! I'm a bit worried that all they did for the week was walk and play with the dogs and then clean the house - I'm beyond grateful, the place looks amazing! They really are the very nicest people too, George has a hilarious sense of humour (thanks for the funny texts George!) and Larissa is calm, kind and an inspiration as a mother. I really can't wait to have them back to look after the girls again in the summer and wish the whole family a wonderful trip until then. If they come and house sit for you then you are in for a real treat!

Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.

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.

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!

Annabella was a fantastic, trustworthy dog sitter for our three pups. She was very responsible and did everything we asked of her and communicated well.

Truly The Best House sitters Ever!!! Shannon, Travis and their son were absolutely terrific. I’m so lucky to have had the genuine pleasure of meeting them. Very warm, generous, open and loving people. My dog Wolfie usually barks at men who come in the house and I was a little worried about how he would be with Travis, but I had nothing to fear because within seriously 1 minute from Travis walking in the door, Wolfie was giving him kisses on the lips! I was so happy to receive their updates and photos and videos of my pets while I was away. They really went above and beyond taking terrific care of my many, many furry and feathered friends. When I got home, the place was sparkling clean, all linens laundered and beds made and they even left me sweet little surprises. I would welcome The Exums back with open arms anytime and highly recommend them.

I was fortunate to have Lisa as a sitter for my active, 7-year old lab mix (Ozzy) for a week in Bend. Lisa took the time to meet us via Facetime and in person before her stay. It was apparent she wanted to be well-prepared and aware of any special doggie needs he may have, or any help I needed with watering plants or bringing in mail. She took great care of Ozzy while I was away and sent me regular updates and photos of their outdoor adventures. I returned home to a very happy dog and a house exactly as I had left it. I'd welcome Lisa back anytime!

Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.

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!!

We had an amazing experience with The Ruff House! We needed a place to board our dog (Lincoln) over Thanksgiving and were fortunate to find an opening. The communication was excellent—we received daily report cards detailing our dog’s activities and even got pictures of him playing and enjoying his meals. It was so reassuring to see how well he was cared for. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely be using their services again in the future!
We LOVE The Ruff House!! Our pup gets so excited for daycare days ❤️ And the report cards and pics they share are adorable. We can tell she has a great time. They also do super cute theme days, including letting the dogs send valentines to each other! 💌 We love them!!! …
The Ruff House and its employees are the best of the best. Our 2 beagles have been frequent daycare and overnight boarders for several years. You know your dogs are happy when they run to the front door of the facility as if to say, let us in, let the party begin. Thank you Ruff House!!!
Pretty Sure Rex would also give a 5 star review! Great loving staff and a very reasonable cost. When we dropped him off for his first boarding there were other dogs arriving as well. They all looked super happy and excited to be there. When we picked him up it was obvious he felt at home at The Ruff House. I sure appreciated the daily pictures and the report cards.
We love The Ruff House so much. Our pups stayed here for 20 days in total so far and they were thriving! One of our pups gets very protective of our other pup in social settings and also gets very anxious when she sees her sister playing with other dogs. The staff patiently listened to our needs. As a solution, they made sure to separate the pups when they socialized with other dogs and they even made time for one-on-one play! The daily report cards were fantastic and were the highlights of our vacation (sad, I know). Our drive to The Ruff House was 1.5 hours from DC but we’d readily make the trek in the future. That’s how great this place is!
We left our yorkiepoo for a long weekend and she enjoyed her time at the Ruff House. We didn’t receive any issues about her and she’s very happy! She will probably miss her friends from the Ruff House! We are very pleased to leave our yorkiepoo at the Ruff House! She seems to really enjoy all the other dogs she plays with and the staff is wonderful with her! We bring her there whenever we leave town!
My husband and I are newer pet parents. We have an almost 2yo boxer mix and this was our first time having to board him. The Ruff House had great reviews so we took the leap and scheduled a week with them. I love that they have a meet and greet to evaluate the pup and see how they do with other dogs, especially since ours hasn’t been around dogs in that type of setting. Obviously we were nervous but the staff member that we handed our pup off too on 7/18 was wonderful. I also voiced my concerns about him being a pain to feed. Sometimes it sits out all day sometimes we sit down and spoon feed him. Obviously he’s spoiled rotten. They were happy to oblige!! Also the report cards and pictures were sent were comforting. To be able to see him having fun made us so happy! I highly recommend boarding your pup here.
We love The Ruff House! We recently boarded our dog here for 3 nights and we couldn’t have had a better experience! We looked forward to the daily photos and report cards! It gives us comfort to know our girl will be taken care of when we travel!
We LOVE the Ruff House! Our dog, Grohl, has the best time whenever he goes there, jumping to get out of the car. I love getting daily report cards with photos and updates on what he did all day. They do such a great job with the pups and I HIGHLY recommend them!
My husband & I felt very comfortable leaving our dog Kassie at the Ruff House for 2 weeks while on vacation. With daily report cards & pictures of her playing with her new friends, we felt like she was also on vacation & having the time of her life. The facility is very structured & the employees are very caring & nuturing. We will definitely consider using the Ruff House again in the future.

I'm new to the Fredericksburg area and this was my first time using Peace of Mind Pet Services. I have kitties and was apprehensive leaving them with complete strangers for the very first time. I have to say that the name says it all!!! First I had communication with Janette who answered ALL of my many questions with patience and humor and she definitely laid my fears to rest. Then I met Wanda who was the person who actually took care of my kitties and boy oh boy, what a magnificent person she is. Wanda took care of my kitties, I feel, like they were her own. This was the first time that I came back from being away and didn't get that kitty attitude from them that how dare I leave them, so I know they were in very good hands with Wanda. I would highly recommend Peace of Mind Pet Services! As I said above, their name says it all.
Janette and staff are amazing! We have a reactive dog and another dog that takes medications. I fully trust that my dogs are being taken care of with Janette. They send updates and pictures of my happy pups when they visit. I’ve been using them for several months now and do not have any complaints!
Such a great pet sitting company! Janette is incredibly responsive, reliable, and very caring. She has saved me numerous times with last minute requests. Her team is great too. My dogs love them and get so excited to see them. Jannette loves them almost as much as I do. Can’t recommend her and her team more highly!! You can trust them with your fur babies.
When a last minute travel opportunity came up, Janette was able to accommodate us. While away, she came in, fed our cat, spent time with him, and sent updates and photos. She also did us the service of bringing in mail and packages for our 2 days away. The descriptions of how our cat was doing were incredibly reassuring, and it was nice to see his face and how he was adapting to Janette. I look forward to using Peace of Mind Pet Services in the future, and not just because it means another vacation! :) I highly recommend this company and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
With my long commute, and impromptu traffic jams, I could not continue to have pets without "Peace of Mind" Pet Services. This business is very well named! Thank you!
I have known and used Janette Housley's pet services since 2010. She is an outstanding pet person. My pets adore her and I have never had a poor experience with her. She is brilliant, loving, kind, generous, and totally devoted to animals. Anyone who uses her services will never seek another. Congratulations on offering such outstanding services to the community of pet lovers.
Janette and her crew have provided excellent, loving care for our dogs. They work with the schedule we give them (i.e., 4 walks and feedings per day since one dog has trouble with less than that). The dogs LOVE everyone with Peace of Mind Pet Services! We enjoy the notes about many of the visits along with the current pictures of our boys eating, walking, or being loved. We have left our babies with Janette et al for a week at a time and shorter spells also.
I have used Peace of Mind for many years. I can be away from home knowing that my canine and feline pets are being well cared for. I receive daily updates . They even took care of a special fish my grandson gave me. I strongly recommend them as they are loving caregivers and wonderful people.
We highly recommend! We've been having Jeannette and her team sit our kitties for a few years now..... She uses a handy app for scheduling visits and making payments, but she's always a text or email away when plans change or status is requested. The app also allows sitters to send visit status posts and photos, which is nice when on the road away from home.
In the several years of using this business I have never had a single problem. The staff is very professional and quick to respond to requests. The attention to detail, including providing updates during longer out-of-town trips, is fantastic. It's not just the business, they truly care for the pets they watch. I couldn't be happier with this service and I would rate them as highly as possible to anyone looking for a dedicated pet sitting service.
