Responsible & Reliable "Seasoned" Couple Joyfully Pet & Housesit Across USA!
What a joy and an honor it was to have Phyllis and Jerry care for my home and my pets. I could write an epistle to describe in detail how much they did and how well they accomplished each responsibility. Our correspondence began many months ahead of my posted dates. Throughout this time, we stayed connected, and as we got closer, we shared more details about my home and care for the pets. Response time was prompt, friendly and courteous. They were incredibly flexible and understanding when I had to adjust my flight time and date. They arrived early on my departure day so we could have time for orientation, lunch, and conversation. Phyllis and Jerry were meticulous in following the instructions I left for cat and home care. They were dedicated to assuring me that things at home were going well by sending pictures of the cats included with special vignettes. They were respectful of my home and took great care of everything as if it were their own. For example, when the hose unexpectedly burst in the back yard on a hot day, they carried water in a bucket to my young Arbor Vitae trees. They are the kind of people who go the “extra mile” based on their high values and elevated work ethics. When I returned home, everything was glistening and spotless. The carpets had been vacuumed, the laundry completed, the dishwasher and waste baskets emptied, the stove shined, and the kitty litter was scooped and cleaned. My fur babies were happy and relaxed, an indication that they had excellent care while I was away. A delightful surprise was the colorful Autumn gift basket and note they left on the counter. I highly recommend Phyllis and Jerry in every way. They exceeded my expectations and fulfilled every task. They are friendly, enthusiastic, and fun to be around, and both have had a wide variety of experiences that translate into good common sense and wise decisions. It was truly my privilege to have the opportunity to meet them and to benefit from all they had to offer me, my home, and my cats.

Lori was super efficient and a very capable cat sitter. Our communication before the sit was clear and reliable Lori arrived by train the day before our holiday which was great as she got to meet our two very nervous and shy cats when we were around, which makes a difference I think They were very happy in her company and even accepted a few treats! Lori is obviously in tune with cats and it shows She took all the house info in her stride It was nice to chat to her over dinner and interesting to hear about where she’d been pet sitting since she’d come over from the States earlier this year We had no worries about leaving the cats in her very capable hands for 9 days We had a few pictures and stories in the time we were away which was welcome On our return Lori had already left ( as arranged previously) we came home to an immaculate house and two cats welcoming us as we unpacked the car Lori had left us a lovely card and an absolutely amazing Apple cake, it really was a work of art and a shame to cut into it to eat! We would love Lori to come back one day to sit for us again

Ibrahim, Iman and Elizabeth continue to be our luckiest find. We trust them implicitly with our home and our kitties. I know Puff and Polly are safe and happy at home, while we can travel worry-free.

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!

'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!

Lisa was communicative and organised. She sent regular updates and took good care of Abby and Arthur. My home was left tidy and reasonably clean. Thanks Lisa!

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!

Naomi took really good care of Beck!
Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.
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.
Diane and Les were excellent pet and house sitters. Jet was a very happy dog when we returned and Diane had shared many photos of their days together while we were away on holiday. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and some milk , bread and sweet treats had been left for us, which were very welcome after our 2 long flights home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diane and Les as sitters for your home and pets, everything was done to a high standard and Jet was happy in his usual environment , which is all we wished for. Many thanks to you both.
This is our second time with Jamie and she’s really a great sitter for our dogs . She’s a trusted person, smart. You can leave her your house and pets. Can’t wait to have Jaimie back next summer
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!
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Wendy was the perfect dog sitter and house sitter for us. She managed our house and dog and in such a caring a responsible way. Wendy was prompt with communicating with us and managed situations that arose professionally. Our house was spotless and our dog happy when arrived home. I knew everything thing was in good hands while we were away. I hope we can invited her to stay with us again.
Alia is a wonderful furbaby sitter and also a wonderful person. It is our privilege to have her for the 3rd time. She keeps us informed, our dogs love her, and she even cooked dinner and left it for us. The house was perfect when she left.
As ever, Charlie was the perfect dog/house sitter - took loving care of our dog and looked after the house and garden as if they were her own; all returned in immaculate conditon!

Rescuing a senior dachschund someone discarded was only possible because of the loving care provided by Doggie Doody Pet Sitting - such wonderful, trustworthy and reliable people! Without this great service there simply just would not have been capacity for re-homing this amazing sweet dog! This dog brings so much happiness and love & Doggie Doody has brought such joy and peace of mind- they make lives better! A true blessing in the community! Thank you for all you do! UPDATE: 6-16-2019: When my beautiful, brave Duchess became gravely ill, Jenny came with me to the hospital when it was time to say good-bye for the last time. She became like family to us, and was there when we needed her most. It must be so hard to accompany someone on such a difficult experience but Jenny stuck by us the whole time. I am inspired by her compassion and caring nature. I would never have trusted Duchess with anyone else - she treated her with respect and love up to the end of her life. With Jenny, I was able to consider out-of-town trips & not have any concerns about Duchess. She never missed a visit or came late- she was so reliable. I loved the photos that she sent to me during every visit- something I did not know how much I would appreciate & ended up really counting on those photos. Finding Jenny when we were new in town was a blessing for sure & it is fortunate she provides exceptional service in the community. Thank you Jenny from the bottom of my heart! God bless you always!!
Jenny is beyond outstanding. She truly does go above and beyond when watching over our animals. We've used their services twice now and couldn't ask for a better sitter. Jenny loves our pets as her own and they love her right back. One of our dogs even has some separation anxiety but you wouldn't know it, being in her care. She sends daily updates with pictures on how they're doing and you can just tell she's providing a lot of TLC. We've been able to relax more on our trips, especially since we know our fur babies are in such great hands. We will continue to call on Jenny as we absolutely love and trust her with our babies.
We are so very pleased to have met Jenny from Doggie Doody through the recommendation of a friend. She has watched our 2 dogs for over 2 years now when we travel and she loves them as her own, and they love her!! Jenny goes above and beyond when it comes to watching our dogs- they love to go on walks and cuddle with Jenny. She truly spoils them. Her background as a vet tech for several years also gives us peace of mind that if one of the dogs becomes ill she will know the signs and get them the care they need. We highly recommend Jenny and Doggie Doody to care for your pets when you must be away. ❤️
After looking at several options for caring for our pets while on vacations, we found Doggie Doody online and gave Jenny a call. When she visited, Jenny asked questions and took notes. She spent time getting to know our pets and clearly loves animals. Our pets warmed up to her immediately and we knew she was the perfect choice for us. Jenny sends text messages and pictures during each visit and we can see first hand that things are going well. I would highly recommend Jenny to any pet owner. She has provided excellent care during two vacations so far and we feel very lucky to have found such a caring and professional pet sitter!
Doggie Doody has cared for each of my dogs since their first day at home. She trained them both to leash walk. Jenny is very reliable and always ensures someone is available to come care for my dogs. She is flexible and has come on short notice if have to work late. My pups love their Jenny walks! Sadly, we had to move away and Jenny did her best to help find someone to help us at our new home. I highly recommend Doggie Doody!
While we were out of town for 6 days, Jenny took wonderful care of our 16 year old cat. He had never been alone for so long. She texted us pictures of our cat ( Billy )every day. She also sent us update daily which made us feel so much better. She also retrieved our mail and newspapers. He took an immediate liking to her and wanted to sit on her lap every day. Jenny truly loves animals and it shows by the great care that she gave him. I would highly recommend Jenny for your pet sitting needs. We are so glad we found her !!!! (And so is Bill) !!!
Jenny has been taking care of my Dobermans since September and I am so very grateful I found her! She is reliable, trustworthy and kind-hearted. I love the picture/text message she sends me after her and the Dobes have gone on their walk. I hate leaving my dogs every day but it puts my mind at ease knowing Jenny will be there for them while I can't. If you are looking to for someone to take care of your "kids" while your away, Doggie Doody Pet Sitting exactly what you were searching for.
I've used many pet sitters over the years, but Jenny is the best I've found! She's reliable, flexible and genuinely loves animals and her job. She texts me pictures and updates of what's going on with my cats every day. This makes it much easier being gone from them and knowing that they're well cared for. She also brings in the mail and packages and makes sure the house is safe and secure. I highly recommend Doggie Doody!
Jenny watched our 10 year old bullmastiff, Stanley, for 3 days. We hired her to come 3 times a day. She spent quality time with Stanley at each visit. Jenny even heated up his chicken in the microwave, just like he likes it! He didn’t even seem upset by our absence when we arrived home after 3 days. We really enjoyed the updates and pictures Jenny sent us. It put me at ease that he was just fine. We will definitely be hiring Jenny again!
••Thank you Jenny•• Jenny has been helping with our yellow lab (Sergeant) since November and we couldn't be happier. She's dependable, flexible, and our puppy seems to smile through the pictures she sends of him everyday. Thanks to her and her amazing service I can be at peace at work, knowing that my pup and my home are in good hands.
We have used Dog Days Inn many times. Very nice place. The indoor outdoor suites are great. Nice people. Dog seams to adjust well. Feel at ease leaving our girl in their care. We always go with a bath and nail trim. She looks beautiful when we pick her up with a colorful bandana on.
I haven't actually used them for a pet resort but I adopted a puppy from a lady who either owns or works there and she was extremely nice and helpful and everyone I talked to there was very very kind, I could see it was well kept and the dogs staying there were all being taken care of .
We love Dog Days Inn. I hadn't boarded my dog Lula in years and my boyfriend and I missed her terribly and worried about her because of her arthritis problems in her back legs (she's almost 10 years old). …
