Caring, Clean and Dependable Traveler Who Would Love To Take Care Of Your Home
Elizabeth was fantastic and we would absolutely have her again. She is a great communicator, checked with us if she wasn't sure, took good care of Lulu, and was overall wonderful.

CONSCIENTIOUS, ACTIVE, LOVING, PET-CARER SEEKS NEW, FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS
You are always a little bit nervous to leave the care of your house and pet to a stranger for two weeks but after talking to Reba on the phone.,I knew it would work out. She did an exceptional job house/pet/garden sitting for the two weeks she was here. Her communication was great. She always returned texts promptly and sent us texts with updates on a regular basis. This was our first sitter and Reba showed her experience by guiding us through the process. Our house was well taken care and it was cleaned throughly when we returned. This was much appreciated as we arrived back at 1 am after a long travel day. Our cat was well taken care of also and even warmed up to Reba as Sophia can be a little aloof. We also left the extra responsibility of taking care of our garden. She had to do some watering and with cold temperature, cover it also. Thanks to her for doing this. In conclusion, if you are lucky enough to get Reba to be your sitter. Jump on the opportunity. She was FANTASTIC!!

Responsible, considerate, and well-traveled couple seeking short and long stays
Lauren and Jeremy were wonderful house sitters. I would ask them back or recommend them without hesitation. They communicated clearly, and took wonderful care my pets, house and garden. They left the place cleaner than it started and generously offered to help in ways that I hadn't asked but that were very kind and thoughtful. I felt very comfortable with my animals and home in their care.

Retired Trial Attorney-Trustworthy, Compassionate, Friendly, Caring and Tidy!
We were lucky enough to have Dede sit our house and yellow lab for a little more than two weeks. She treated our house as if it were her own and did an outstanding job looking after our three year old yellow lab, providing the requisite exercise for her, as well as the love and attention she so craves. Our home was spotless upon our return with everything in order and although our pup was happy to see us, she may have been a little sad to see Dede go. We would reccomend Dede, with our highest praise, to anyone who is seeking a responsible, caring, communicative and considerate sitter, you will not be disappointed!

This is our second sit with Angie and we enjoyed having her. We were able to communicate easily and she appeared to remember the routine of our home. The house and our dog, Lucca, we’re both in great shape and ready to welcome us home. We are hoping for an opportunity to lure Angie and Sarah once again out of the cold to our Florida home.

Friendly, Responsible Pet Sitter looking to Travel while Working Remotely
From a pet sitting aspect we were not unsatisfied with Sara. Our dogs seemed happy and our chickens were also tended to well. However, from a house sit I will say we were disappointed with a few things. There was a bad storm the day before we left and we requested some photos of the damage to our property that was done. I asked multiple times and never received what I asked for after saying she would send it. We also agreed to daily updates in form of text or pictures of the animals and I did go the first couple days without reliable communication which didn’t sit well with me. As for the state of the house upon return, while it was mostly clean, one of our curtain rods was ripped from the wall. I wouldn’t have been upset had we just been notified of the repair that needed to be done but she never even told us that she broke anything in the house it was just left. She also very clearly rummaged through our drawers and took brand new unopened toiletries from areas that we did not specify she could use and she never reached out asking if it would be ok to take.

A great, responsible dynamic lady for your home & furry family member
I have been unsure what rating to give Kristiane. There were a few things I was upset about, but while considering her other reviews, it seems to be an anomaly. She mostly apologized and took responsibility for things she did wrong. She provided good pet care and seemed to enjoy her stay here. I couldn't quite tell if the missteps were her normal character, or if it was because she was going through a hectic period in life. TLDR: She disappointed me at the beginning of the trip, but her pet care was good. She scared me that she gave the pill to the wrong cat. I returned to a dirty home, including literal broken glass, but she went above and beyond in other areas. I'll start by saying we had a pleasant video call and were in fairly constant communication for about a week before my trip. She contacted me probably every day, asking for various details, usually with long voice memos. She appeared to be a good & thorough communicator. I had shifted my departure to the night before instead of the morning of and had explained that my cats would be ok alone overnight, but my cat Willow gets a pill every morning and I would love for her to get her pill ASAP. Kristiane had said she could get there around noon the morning of, which I was fine with. I had said that noon would be pushing it pill-wise, but as long as it isn't much later, that is ok. Because I received constant communication with her leading up to the start of the trip, I was shocked when I didn't hear from her at all the day the sit began, even a "on my way" text. I tried texting and calling her to no avail. I was getting worried that something had happened and I had no way of finding out. At this point, I started to panic a bit because my cat needs her medication. I contacted zeewoi support asking for help. I heard from Kristiane around 2pm. She had chalked it up to having a very busy/hectic morning and said she still had about 2 hours left on her drive (so, 4 hours later than she originally said). I ended up getting a Rover sitter to check in on my cats, feed them, and pill Willow ASAP, which Kristiane offered to reimburse me for. I was thankful she reimbursed me but was confused about how there was so much miscommunication when I thought I had clear expectations. I try to be clear with my expectations of my sitters while still being flexible for normal life mishaps. I would have been less upset if she had notified me of her real ETA when she left (it was about a 4-hour drive) instead of leaving me in the dark. It was not responsible or reliable. Once she arrives, my anxiety is lessened. Things seem to be going well. The next morning, however, she tells me she gave Cherry a pill. Cherry does not get a pill, only Willow does. I have this explicitly stated in multiple places, including my printed-out instructions and the pill bottle itself. Turns out, she got the cats' names wrong. She pilled the correct cat, somehow. Kristiane is an overcommunicator. She sent me several voice memos every morning, sometimes totaling about 10 minutes long. While I appreciate daily updates and don't mind chatting here and there, I am on vacation, and it became annoying to have to leave my friends to listen to the memos. A balance needs to be found. I returned to a dirty home. I spent the first 2 hours after arriving deep-cleaning everything. She broke a glass while she was here (which I ultimately don't care about materialistically) and did not clean it up well. I found about 10 large chunks of glass within reach of my cats. I found out about this mess because my cat was literally playing with a chunk of glass. Every surface Kristiane touched was dirty, smudged, or sticky. There were so many drips and spills and stains, that I was confused about how she managed to make such a mess. However, the litter was done perfectly. All the dishes were washed. Trash was taken out. She did ALL my laundry, including the bedspread (which I don't ask sitters to do). She left me small gifts of tea, chocolate, and ice cream. All of this is to say that it seems her heart is in the right place, but she may need some help with following through. I am wondering if her past 5 star reviews were because she used to sit with her former partner. Maybe that person was the "cleaner" of the two. She was solo this time, apart from a friend visiting and staying with her for one night. I hope my thorough review is good feedback for Kristiane so she can become a better sitter. I feel bad about leaving a complaining review, but I know it is important to have honesty in these reviews so we can all learn for the future.
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!
Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
Cristina is simply the best house/pet sitter that we have ever had. She is responsible and dependable and an experienced dog owner. Our Wheaten, Bridie, adores her and misses her when she leaves.
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!
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.
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!
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Great sitter and kept in contact regularly. Would gladly have her sit for my dog again.
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 !!!
Alia is awesome and we have used her several times. She is a 5 star rated sitter every time. The dogs are happy and the house is perfect when we get home. She even cooked dinner for our arrival home because we came home late. Highly recommend Alia!!

I've been taking my small fluff ball of a dog to Rhonda for a few years now. She is very kind and considerate, she treats all the dogs as if they were her own. She gets to know them personally and what dogs play well with each other. She is passionate about her Kennel and is amazing.
My Corgis absolutely love Rhonda at Kaley Park Kennel! It’s a huge relief when I go on vacation and I know my dogs are in perfect hands and being Loved.!
Ronda gives my dogs tons of attention. I love her drop off method....she takes care of paperwork first then comes to your car and takes dog to play first thing. They think it's a play date!
I know my dog is safe and well-treated here. Always a very good experience. Nollie, our dog, gives it Two-Paws-Up.
This s my first time going she was very friendly n professional even tho she said my dog talked a lot the whole time she was there sorry she talked u to death but hopefully next time she’ll do much better😊thanks for your service! …
The worst kennel experience ever !!! If you love your dogs, stay away from this crazy lady! She won't even let you view the kennel !!! All they needed was a little attention !!!
This place is pretty great! They have their property secured so our pets are safe and the owners spend a lot of time with them. It’s the only place I have sent my babies to and the only place I will ever use.
Great rates and Rhonda is very friendly and accommodating. My dog loved her.
Teddy, my black lab loves Rhonda and loves the walls. Very good place. And I am picky!!
My dogs love this place and Rhonda loves my dogs! The care and attention is unmatched.
I've been bringing both of my dogs here for a little while now. My dogs have pretty different personalities but they both leave beautiful and energetic. I appreciate the care taken and the good vibes of this location. The groomers always do a great job giving my dogs a natural trim, de-shedding, and sanitary trim. I've never had a bad experience.
We were disappointed with our recent visit to Sitting Pretty. We requested a bath, blow-dry, ear cleaning, nail trimming, and teeth brushing for our dog, confirming these services both on the phone and in person before the appointment. At no point was anal gland expression mentioned to us, and we didn’t realize this would be performed as part of their standard services. When we got our dog home, she seemed uncomfortable, chewing at her butt and clearly distressed. Later that night, we noticed anal gland secretions on our bed (something that we had never had issues or experiences with before), which was upsetting for us and stressful for her. When we called to clarify, they informed us that this service was performed, but it was not communicated to us during the booking or drop-off process. While we understand this may be a standard practice for them, we feel strongly that procedures like this should be explicitly discussed beforehand. Our dog has never had her glands expressed, and this situation has left us concerned about potential future issues for her. We hope this feedback helps improve communication between staff and clients in the future so everyone is fully informed about what services are being performed during a grooming session.
Every groomer I’ve had has done a phenomenal job. The cut, the way my dog is excited to go there. The place and building itself is amazing. Only reason I’m giving a 4/5 stars is in order to be a client. I have to deal with the receptionist, who is not very customer friendly.
First time going there and they were super fast booking an appointment for my pup. KAYLEIGH was my puppy's groomer & she was beyond fabulous!!! Great customer service skills and met all of our expectations!!!100% recommend!! I will be returning thank you, Thank you, thank you!!!!
Took my cat in to get his nails trimmed. It was so quick and cheap. Though, I didn't know there were steps to get in/out. That made navigating my pet stroller awkward/slightly difficult.
The owner does an excellent job with my dilute calico cat I will continue to have her shave my cat with a lion cut it certainly helps her not to be a poopy but.
I have been twice now with my 3 huskies. They are always so soft and fluffy when I pick them up, and it's been a great experience so far.
I would highly recommend Sitting Pretty because they are very careful with your dog. When you get your dog back they come with a free bandana already tied perfectly on them. Also when my dog leaves the place she comes back smiling like she enjoyed it. I would recommend it to send them there for cutting their nails and for haircuts. 😁 …
We have a juvenile cat whose long hair is impossible to keep untangled. The staff at this salon do an incredible job giving her a lion cut that helps keep her happy and tangle-free! Appointments are easy to make, the staff are friendly, and the salon is clean and inviting.
I really like to support businesses in lakeside, that is why I first chose sitting pretty and boutique. Sitting pretty pet spa is our doggie groomer of choice every time. BAiR and I love, sitting pretty. We go to this pet salon, Monday's especially you can get a discount on getting your dog's nails trimmed. You can walk in and get your furry Friends nails trimmed for $10 I believe. You will walk in the front counter girl says hello they come out take your dog to the back area you can look at all the little dog toys and dog bones they have and then before you know it they're bringing your dog back out happy as can be. We always make sure to grab a special bone before we leave the salon. They have a cooler full of Bones up front they're very yummy I mean I wouldn't know but my BAiR always lets out a good howl when he gets a bone. They are very very very busy you need an appointment if you want to get your dog's haircut. Don't think you can walk in and get an appointment I have tried many times just because I'm not good with appointments and it's impossible they're so busy so make sure you call at least a month in advance. There is tight parking at the salon there's probably about 5 parking spots on the side of the building other than that you're going to have to park on the street. If you need a dog groomer and you have never been to sitting pretty salon I would recommend, Kristen one-hundred-percent go with. Woof woof
