Responsible, clean, respectful sitter(s) for ALL animals here!
We had just Sara stay to look after Mila our large German shep. Mila can be quite anxious but Sara really knew how to handle her :) Unfortunately we were delayed getting home and thankfully She was flexible enough and stayed an extra night to make sure Mila was cared for. It really took the stress off the situation! Sara and Mila got a long very well and it seemed she had a real soft spot for her. The house was left tidy and clean. Thanks so much Sara!!

Sarah and Scott: healthy, active and retired couple who love animals and travel
I really appreciate Sarah and Scott as my zeewoi! They are great people and do a great job taking care of not only the pets, but the house as well! This is my second time to use them and would be very comfortable using them everytime I go somewhere.

Pet lover and experienced traveler to look after your home and pets
It was so great having Lynn as a dogsitter for my two fur babies! The dogs obviously adored her, and she was very self-sufficient and allowed me to enjoy an extremely relaxed vacation! Also, I had to convince her that she REALLY DIDN'T have to clean every part of the house before she left--THAT'S how considerate she is!

Trisha was fantastic and took great care of our Boogie. When we came home our house was spotless and Boogie was very content. We would love it if she ever came back again!

Park Ranger Who Loves Pets
She did a great job of caring for Tuk. When we got home he acted as if we really hadn’t been gone which really demonstrates how well he was cared for while we were gone. She left our home tidy and Tuk happy. She was able to come the night before and was able to get to see our dogs routine prior to our leaving which was a great help. She was even willing to accommodate an unexpected showing of our home while we were gone. All in all a great sit!

Trustworthy nanny and police officer looking to give your pets lots of love!
Alexie and Nick are excellent house and pet sitters! They are very reliable and personable, and had good communication before and during their sit of our corgi, Augie. Our home was spotless when we returned and Augie was very relaxed and happy. Our schedules did not allow us to meet before their sit and they were able to enter our home sight unseen, find their room and Augie's food bowl and kibble, and follow home & pet care instructions independently. They invested time ahead of their visit to read our Welcome Guide and ask us questions in advance. I highly recommend these sitters!

Experienced sitters want to become your pet's best friend and your peace of mind
Where to start! Eric & Theresa were wonderful from the moment we had our first video call right up until after we got home. Getting an international sitter can always be a bit nerve wracking (they are from the US and we are in the UK) but they made the whole process a breeze. They ensured that they got to the UK the day before so that there was ample time in case of any delays and the whole thing went so smoothly. They had a lot of great questions which showed us that they genuinely cared about the sit and it filled us with confidence. They were communicative throughout the sit, sharing photos and updates on their daily adventures which was so lovely. It was clear that the boys loved them and took to them immediately- they didn’t even seem that sad when we left as they were already settling with their new best friends! Our neighbour has also since commented on how lovely they seemed and how clear it was they adored the dogs which was so heart warming. When we got home, they had left us a very kind note which we really appreciated and the house was beautifully clean with the sheets and towels all cleaned etc. We would 10/10 recommend Eric and Theresa for anyone looking for the perfect sit, both locally and internationally!

Retired from our careers, experienced with house/pet sitting, and love to travel
Connie and Marty did a great job with little direction. Remi and the house fared well under their watch. Only sorry we didn’t get to spend more time together before we left or upon our return. Recommend 👍
Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them. I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!
My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
Brian is absolutely amazing. This was his third time sitting for us and the dogs love him, he left the house immaculate, and is totally reliable and communicative. We can’t imagine a better sitter and hope he’ll come visit and stay in touch now that he has moved to the area.
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.
Ray and Lynn were excellent sitters for Moose! They took him out multiple times a day and always played with him. They sent so many pictures and Moose always looked so happy! They were very flexible on when they arrived and left and very organized. The house was left clean and tidy and we found a happy dog when we got home. We would definitely have them back anytime!
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
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
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.

2 years ago I purchased a finished EB from Sur le Delavan Kennel. Clint was extremely helpful to me getting to know the breed and teaching me how to handle my dog. Along the way I have been impressed with Clint's unwavering commitment to promote the breed and uphold breeding standards to insure his kennel is producing high quality dogs year in and year out. In April of this year we purchased our second EB from Sur le Delavan Kennel, a puppy and we are thrilled with his progress so far and can't wait to see him grow into the future. Sur le Delavan Kennel is the Gold Standard and I highly recommend them if you are looking for a great family dog that is fierce in the field.
Sur le Delavan Kennel is outstanding! I had spoken with many breeders when looking to purchase my last pup and after a short conversation with Clint I knew I had the right breeder and trainer. Clint is not only a great trainer and breeder. but is a great person. He has trained not only my dog, but me as the handler along with him. Clint and Suzanne are always promoting the Epagneul Breton breed and look out for what is best for dogs. I would recommend anyone looking to purchase a puppy or to train your dog to contact Sur le Delavan Kennel.
I recently purchased a puppy from Clint and Suzanne LaFary and Sur Le Delavan Kennel and my experience has been nothing short of fantastic! Clint provided updates on the puppies and their progress until the day I picked my puppy up. It is very easy to see that Clint is very passionate about the EB breed as well as the dogs that he produces. As far as the dogs that Sur Le Delavan Kennel produces, the are top notch! I have had my pup just short of a year and he has been a pleasure to train and watch mature. Sur Le Delavan Kennel will be my first call when its time for my next pup!
Clint and Suzanne really care about developing great bloodlines. Our puppy now 1 year old and he has fantastic bird instincts, has done really well with his training, and has a wonderful personality. Great family pet as well as turning into a fantastic bird dog. We also really like the way Clint and Suzanne socialize the puppies when they are young, so by the time we picked up Luca at 8 weeks of age he had already spent a lot of time with the family. We are planning on getting a second puppy from Sur le Delavan kennels later this year. .
Sur le Delavan is a high quality breeder and training facility that is dedicated to the integrity of the breed and meticulously manages their breeding program. Clint is a great source of information for all things Epagneul Breton and the US EB Club, passionately promoting and fighting for the quality of the breed. During my research of the breed and breeders, Clint gave me tremendous insight and help. He is very transparent and a consummate champion of the breed which is why I chose Sur le Delavan as my breeder. I highly recommend you choose Sur le Delavan Kennel as your breeder too KM Houston, Texas
Sur le Delavan Kennel is great this kennel always produces healthy happy puppies with great potential. Clint and Suzanne are experienced and purposeful breeders- they take the time to truly understand this breed and ensure that everyone involved is happy, and getting exactly what they're looking for. My EB, Iggy-Joe has proved himself both a strong dog in the field and loving family dog. I strongly recommend this kennel!
I purchased a puppy from Clint and Suzanne in Dec of 2015. Clint is a very conscientious breeder producing excellent quality French Britts with beautiful conformation, outstanding hunting abilities, a strong desire to retrieve, and loving personalities. His puppies are healthy and well socialized with both adults and children. Clint is extremely knowledgeable about the breed and in training upland bird dogs. He wants you and your puppy to succeed and makes a real effort for you to do so. The seller/ purchaser relationship doesn’t end when you walk out the door with your puppy. My puppy Ziva and I have attended Clint’s “training days” and both of us have learned A LOT! If you are looking for a small pointing bird dog and a bright canine companion in the house, definitely consider a French Brittany and definitely purchase from Clint LaFary.
If you are looking for a top French Brittany Bird Dog look no further Sur le Delavan Kennel & Clint W. LaFary is the place to look. I have had nothing but a great expedience. Clint has been there to answer all my questions ahead of time to make me comfortable. The bloodline used for his breeding program is nothing but spectacular. Not to mention Sur le Delavan Kennel's stand by their dogs with a great grantee which I do not believe you will find better. In short you cannot go wrong and will be happy with your French Brittany from Clint.
Sur le Delavan did a great job training my young pup (and me). I was new to dog training and upland hunting. Clint was extremely helpful in showing me the ropes. If you would like a great dog or to get some great field training this is the place. All my future dogs surely will go through Sur le Delavan Kennel.
It has been our pleasure to know the Lafary's and become friends with them in the four years since we purchased a puppy from Sur le Delavan Kennel. It has been our delight to become more involved in the adventure of promoting and preserving this wonderful breed due in part to their strong commitment to the same. The Sur le Delavan legacy will impact the Epagneul Breton breed for years to come. Every puppy that comes out of Sur le Delavan is from proven breeding stock. You will find a firm commitment to standing behind what is produced, and a solid guarantee backing up that commitment. Clint has not only trained his own dogs to multiple field titles, but also many of the dogs produced by Sur le Delavan as well as other kennels. The level of training speaks for itself - look at the results from most of the UKC sanctioned upland field trials and you'll find a Sur le Delavan dog (or one trained there) is usually in the ribbons! Field trialing and hunting not your cup of tea? You can count on a sound temperament in a dog that's sure to be a pleasure in your home for whatever you want in a loyal companion. Sur le Delavan dogs truly embody the motto - "At home. In the field"
I will not take my puppy back there to be boarded. He is/was an energetic 7 month old puppy. He does nothing but sleep since I picked him up two days ago. He does not play, he can hardly jump up into the car, and he has explosive diarrhea. Very concerning to me!!
Great place to take your pup. Very friendly and trustworthy staff. I’ve used Cha Dai multiple times and it’s always been a great experience
Cha-Dai takes the best care of my pups when I’m out of town. They even text me photos occasionally of them playing. My pups get so excited when we pull up and can’t wait to go inside.
They took such great care of my chocolate lab. We were gone on vacation and you could tell he was happy there and they were super friendly. Trimmed his nails and groomed him as well. Top notch
Cha Dai is my girls' home away from home. The staff is lovely and takes such good care of them. I appreciate that they get lots of outdoor time with lots of space to run. The photos they send are always appreciated, especially on long trips when I'm missing my girls!
Boarded our dog here while on a trip to FL. He came back smelling VERY clean with a new bandana. He had a really good stay...Thanks Cha-Dai! We appreciate your good service to our puppy!
I left my furbaby at Chai Dai for a week, and they were amazing with him! Gave many updates, spoiled him like no other, threw in a complimentary bath, and they were very accommodating! I loved being able to keep tabs on him and I don’t think i’ll be taking him anywhere else!!
The staff took excellent care of my older dog. They sent me a picture of her while I was on vacation. Eased my mind.
Please know that Cha Dai Pet Motel does not run this site. Our hrs are not listed correctly and we have tried numerous times to get Google to change them and they wont do it.. unless we pay them for their service. We did not set this page up and it is not maintained by us. Please call for our operating hours or check out our Facebook page.
Enjoyed the almost daily pix I got while my dog was boarded. Very nice people who obviously love critters!
Buddy recently stayed here at Hounds Away From Home. I know he enjoyed his stay for sure. Look forward to using her services again. Thank you 😊 …
After covid we had to find a new place for our dogs when we went on weekend trips. After randomly driving past Hounds Away from Home we reached out and scheduled our first boarding. Ever since then, we have been blown away by how much Nichol loves our pups and treats them like her own. They are excited every time we pull up and we are so comforted knowing they are being taken care of. We can’t say enough good things about Nichol and will continue to let all of our other friends and family know about her place!
Our dogs are extremely attached to us and did very well. We would highly recommend!
