Full time traveling couple wanting to hang out with your cool pets!
Shauna and Craig kept in touch every day with pictures of kitties and how they were doing even though no expectation was set for an update, so they did that of their own accord. They were easy to communicate with and very friendly. House was immaculate when we returned and one of our kitties sheds a lot. They even left us a little gift. We would love to have them return again!

Responsible house sitter that will care for your home/pets as if they were mine.
I would highly recommend Tracey. She is kind, caring and easy to work with. This is the second time Tracey has come to stay with Boz. Like before, she was responsible, dependable, clean, self sufficient, and Boz was a happy girl when I got home. The garden was also well taken care of. Thanks so much Tracey. You are welcome back anytime!

Loving care for your pets & home
I was very nervous about leaving my senior rescue dog with a new set of humans…he had been through a lot. But from the moment Dani and Dawn walked in , I knew everything would be fine. They are both very relaxed and kind and Beau took to them immediately. They took exceptional care of my dog AND my home. I came back to a happy dog and a spotless house. I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you Dani and Dawn. Beau misses you!

Active 38 years old travel Nurse that loves animals, and has a flexible schedule
I would higly recommend Rachel for pet sitting. She took great care of my elderly, highly social cat, who needs extra love and attention in addition to requiring daily medicine in her ears. She handled everything beautifully and sent me great updates throughout the week. I'd definitely invite her to sit for me again!

Animal Lover & Sitter
Richard and I are very happy that we chose Dara. We were very comfortable leaving our dogs and our house in her care for three months. As for every home, over this period of time unforeseen issues arose. Dara was very good at communicating with us and following up on our suggestions/solutions to resolutions. Dara is very reliable, calm and easy to speak with. Our dogs were well taken care of and, I’m sure, sorry to see her leave😊. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.

Teacher/petsitter dreaming of making petsitting and traveling a reality!
When we select a sitter, we read every review in addition to conducting some sort of video interview. We really rely upon the experiences of past hosts, so that’s why I believe it important to be honest in this review. I love giving out 5 star reviews and do quite frequently, but I also need to share any less-than-positive experiences as well for those hosts who rely upon reviews such as we do. As such, I’m a bit ambivalent about writing this review of Katie, as there were some really good things Katie did while here. She is a lovely, energetic woman who responded immediately to the concerns I voiced to her during the time she watched our pets; however, the “negatives” we experienced speak to the heart of the importance of having a dedicated pet sitter. For the most part, our home was left tidy and neat – which is no small feat as ours is a large house and I appreciate the care Katie took in ensuring we walked into a clean home. That said, Katie failed to notice my dogs had urinated in both of their dog beds and on the floor of our downstairs office, which we believed happened in the first part of the sit and resulted in the downstairs smelling of stale urine. Further, because she didn’t notice the urine, my pets, when downstairs, had to either sleep on the bare floor or in wet beds, neither of which is a satisfactory option. Also, my dogs don’t generally urinate in the house as they have access to a doggie door, and this seemed more a sign of their distress or discomfort. I believe this incident was part of a larger problem I experienced with Katie and that was in the manner in which she approached this sit. I advertised dates of July 6 – July 22. We generally ask our sitters to come in a day or two early as to walk them through the schedule for both our animals and our many plants, as well as to give them time to get to know the animals and experience a little of the town we live in. We also provide a very detailed introduction and welcome guide which outlines our expectations. Katie came in late in the day on the 7th, without personal transportation, which necessitated us picking her up and then my neighbor taking her to a rental cart company the next day because we left very early on the morning of the 8th. This abbreviated introductory time didn’t allow us to fully prepare Katie for the sit and allowed for some apparent “misunderstandings.” The “issue” for me was for the first five days of our 13-day trip, Katie was away from the house for up to 13 hours at a time – leaving our two, older rescue dogs, who have some separation anxiety - alone and with an extended time between meals. It was clear Katie was using this opportunity to visit many of the beautiful areas which surround where we live – hence using our home as more of an Airbnb to vacation – than a house sit dedicated to caring for our animals. Our dogs are fine with being alone for up to six hours but even that, for multiple days in a row, is, frankly, distressing to our animals and to us, as owners. To Katie’s credit, when I called and brought her daily, extended time away to her attention and reiterated my wishes the dogs not be left for more than 6 hours, she changed her schedule and while still gone every day, capped her time away at six hours. And, as I said, she is cheerful and responsive; hence, the ambivalence is positing my concerns with this sit. I think if Katie is provided with very clear expectations prior to the sit and understands exactly what is needed and expected, she will absolutely deliver. For whatever reason, from the start, this sit was rushed, there appeared to be too many misunderstandings, and it ended up being frustrating for us in ways other sits have not been.

Online Registered Nurse seeking to explore new areas and bond with animals
Lindsey was great! She left the house clean and organized and no concerns with that. My dog loved her and it went so well he didn’t have any behavior problems when I got back. Would definitely recommend and have her come back in the future.
Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa! We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best! First, communication was fabulous from the start. They put me at ease before they ever got here. Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures. They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world). They handled her medications with no problem. It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them! I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!
Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) Thank you, Angela and Erica!
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house again
Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.
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!
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Melissa and Chris are amazing. We are very picky about our dog sitters, and we chose them because they have been doing this for a long time and track your wants and needs carefully and follow through with utmost care and integrity. They offered to come the day before we left to meet Winnie so that we could rest in that she would trust them and connect to them. Honestly, we would hire them as our only dog sitter all of the time if we could. I cannot thank them enough and say enough good things about them. They also took very good care of our house and plants.
Veronica House sat for us for a month. She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat. Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals. They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them. When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe, she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity. She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks. This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy. A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in. Our cat was so content and well-groomed upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention, too. Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day. I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home. We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.

Grateful Paws is fantastic! Eve has taken such good care of our cats, including one with diabetes. It was really difficult for us to find a boarding place that would give insulin shots, so we were incredibly happy to find Grateful Paws. We have absolutely no worries when we leave our cats with Eve - she's the best!
Grateful Paws is a wonderful place! Eve was so kind to my boys, and they seemed to enjoy their time there. It's nearly impossible to find reliable care for a diabetic cat, but this was great. Eve kept me updated on their behavior, and it made my vacation so much more enjoyable. She even sent pictures, and I could always check in on them with the 24/7 secure camera feed. I'm so happy to have found Grateful Paws and have already referred friends.
Eve and the whole Grateful Paws team are awesome! I have utilized their home visit services and couldn’t be happier. Eve is super knowledgeable, reliable, and overall an amazing caretaker! I always know my cat is in the best hands while out of town. I also love the super cute photos and updates she sends during each visit, it really puts me at ease while away from my kitty!
I have nothing but absolute positive things to say about Eve and Grateful Paws. My fiancée and I are very protective of our furry ones and only choose the best for them. Grateful Paws is that place! Eve goes above and beyond to answer any questions and truly cares for your pet as her own. There’s no one else around that we would trust with our loved ones. Thank you!!!
Outstanding service. My cat, Archie, stayed with Eve for three weeks and he loved it. Eve is very communicative and spends time with the animals every day. She also accommodated a schedule change last minute which was a lifesaver. Archie and I will be back!
I can’t recommend Eve and her team enough. I have used their services for cat care many times in the past few years and I have nothing but wonderful things to say! They send updates and photos of my cats and I sincerely appreciate the high level of care they provide. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to watch my cats!
Eve and the Grateful Paws team are the best. They've been my cat sitters for about 7 years now. Each time I travel, I really feel like all 3 cats will be well cared for and they always are!! My boys are happy to see them when they visit! They send texts and photos while you're away, which I'm always appreciative of. I 100% recommend Grateful Paws. :-) 1/20/23
We use Grateful Paws for our two cats every time we go on vacation and have only had wonderful experiences. They are reliable and caring and text us with photos and updates. They're super flexible and have accommodated all of our last minute requests and weird feeding requirements. I'm so happy that their service exists and wouldn't trust my cats with anyone else. Highly recommend!
I feel so lucky to have found Eve and Grateful Paws! There is nothing like having the peace of mind of knowing Doja is in excellent hands when we are away. The space is comfortable, clean and well cared for. I also love the fact that Eve spends time playing with Doja and genuinely cares about her well-being. Eve is also very professional while still being warm and friendly. The service is top-notch and I highly recommend!
It is hard to find the words to describe how great Eve is! I am so incredibly happy that I stumbled upon Grateful Paws online. Eve creates such a tranquil and welcoming environment for our cats. Eve is so very kind/welcoming, knowledgeable, organized, accommodating, and she truly has a gift with animals. I feel so incredibly comfortable leaving my two cats with her; I never have to worry about them. I KNOW they are in the best hands. She is wonderful about communicating with me while I am away. To speak to Eve’s gift with cats, my one cat Queso is scared of her own shadow. She once went on a four-day hunger strike at a local cat boarding facility and had to be picked up! The FIRST time I took her to Eve’s home she came right out of her cage! She ate food the first day! She allows Eve to pet her and she truly seems relaxed and happy there. I like having the option to view the live cameras that are in the cat’s room while they stay. I can always see just how comfortable and happy they are as they are lounging on one of the many fun spaces in their room. The rooms are absolutely beautiful, clean, calm. Just the best! You will not find a more loving person and wonderful space for your kitties. I feel so extremely fortunate to have found Eve at Grateful Paws. Thank you, Eve!
My family and I were leaving town and I was absolutely terrified leaving my pets alone or boarding them it gives me anxiety to even talk about it. Genesis’s reassured me that Ellie and Hammy would be in the best of care. Now Ellie can be a lot of work. She is a hyperactive American Staffie Mix and has her moments where she’s either super clingy or a ball of anxiety. Genesis took the time for Ellie to decompress in her at home boarding, and used positive reinforcement to help ensure Ellie that she was doing fine. She even took the time to train with Ellie in her dominant behavior she tends to have when she finds a person she likes and clings to. It was nice to know that while Ellie was boarding that she was continuously kept engaged in activities, whether it be puzzles, training, or even just a walk. Genesis gave me daily progress reports, updates and even pictures of Ellie and Hammy the hamster and it honestly helped so much with putting my mind at ease. Genesis is compassionate, kindhearted and loving with your pet and while your pet is with her they become her pet and her baby so you know they will have the best of care. Words cannot express how grateful and appreciative I am for the care. And from now on when I travel, Zoomies K9 Care will be the only place I will board my pets. Thank you again to Zoomies K9 Care!
We love using Zoomies! Genesis and Damien are caring, professional, and treat my dog as their own. I use them for weekly walks and boarding and both experiences continue to be phenomenal. I know my dog is happy, safe, and also having fun! I know my dog loves them too because she gives lots of tail wags and kisses when they pick her up for boarding, she is always excited to see them. For boarding I know she is safe and receiving the one on one attention she would be getting at home. My dog can be stubborn and they are so patient and invested in her wellbeing and take the time to train her and play games. They send detailed updates with lots of pictures too. I highly recommend!
Genesis and Damien have been a godsend to our anxious pup, Joey! Genesis was patient, persistent and consistent and now Joey is comfortable enough to even give Genesis some kisses. Joey is still a bit timid around Damien (and most guys) but I have faith that she will come around! Genesis and Damien took a lot of time during the meet and greet to get to know everything about our dogs and about us. Their app is so amazing, you even get a report card at the end of each visit! Scheduling is also a breeze through the app! Genesis and Damien are such a delight, I feel like they are our long lost friends! Your dogs (cats, snakes, bunnies, alpacas) will love them!!
Let me start by saying that if I could give a million stars not just 5 I would. These guys are absolutely amazing. I was nervous leaving my 6 dogs at first, but now I will never ask anyone to dog sit but Zoomies. I am absolutely amazed at their service. They went above and beyond. Seeing happy faces on my dogs was absolute joy. I actually enjoyed my vacation without a worry. Very professional. My dogs loved them. I think my dogs were disappointed that it was us walking into the house yesterday and Damian and his wife. I had never had such great service. They even took care of our cat. They posted everything they did, everything that my babies did. They posted pictures. They even left a magnet with the pictures of my dogs. I could never get a pick of all of them together, but they managed. Overall best experience ever. I am excited for them to come back when so go on my next vacation. Highly recommend them.
I cannot recommend Zoomies K9 Care ENOUGH! Genesis has given me sanity when it comes to my newly rescued friend! She has been there for me and supported me before I even adopted my dog. I was very nervous to adopt my dog because I am a nurse with a hectic changing schedule. She answered all my questions thoroughly and gave me the utmost support in adopting Otis! Now she feels like another member of my little family. She is Otis’s second mom! She has worked with every silly quirk that Otis has, always going above and beyond for my little guy. She gives me peace of mind when I leave for my twelve hour shifts. When she first met my dog, she quickly caught on to his rescue behaviors. I can firmly say now after almost a year, Otis is a different dog because of Genesis. I could have never gotten through this journey with my very first dog without her. She truly has made all the difference in Otis and mine’s life. Zoomies K9 Care came into my life very unexpectedly after seeing a flyer on a street corner. I am forever grateful for their business! Please check out all the different services Genesis and her team has to offer! She will go above and beyond for her customers and their “children” !! Otis and I love Zoomies!
I love Zoomies K9 Care and so does my baby boy, Atlas, who was cared for exceptionally while I was away on vacation. I received daily and multiple updates on how my boy was doing, which I appreciated greatly. I also appreciated the thorough questions and set up for his time with Zoomies. l always get nervous leaving him to board but Zoomies made it super easy and I could enjoy my time away knowing Atlas was having the best time. I am and will 100% use them again! Thank you for caring for my boy like I do.
They are the best dog walkers and trainers anyone can ask for! I have two rescues and they have done wonders for their walks and behaviors! One of my dogs doesn’t even like males and he jumps up and down every time they come over for walks and that says a lot how great they are with my dogs.
Highly recommend going with Zoomies for any pet care needs! My fiance and I work odd hours, and with 4 dogs it was a bit worrying to find someone who can handle a rowdy bunch. Genesis has been absolutely wonderful and super flexible to work with us. She attends carefully to each of their needs and provides pictures with updates, which puts me at ease. 10/10 will continue to use and refer her services!!
Due to an unexpected work trip, I urgently needed someone to watch after my Leo. I was able to quickly connect with Genesis who really listened to my needs and concerns regarding my anxious pup. Genesis was patient, knowledgeable, and reliable throughout her care with Leo. She provided me with regular updates (pics & texts), continually asked about my preferences, and, above all, provided me with peace of mind while I was away. Leo even learned a few new tricks. Definitely would recommend! Thank you Zoomies!!!
Thank you Zoomies for the outstanding care and peace of mind you provided to Leo while I was out of the country. I was given multiple daily reports, pics, and notifications about my dog. They even provided home made natural meals ! A million times over, thank you!!!!
The only place I trust and feel comfortable leaving my pup. The fact that he gets SO excited when I drop him off, tells me everything. Smokey loves it! Everyone at Northern Tails is amazing. Make sure you add them on Snapchat too! Thank yall so much for taking great care of my boy!
My little girl Mia has seizures due to stressful events so I was super worried about getting her groomed for the first time, but they brought her in with lots of love and pets and she loved it. They took amazing care of her and she never had a seizure during or after. Thank you so much. I appreciate all of you. She looks absolutely beautiful and thank you for taking such great care of her. 💙
My German Shepherd loves going to daycare and playing with all the others guests. The staff takes great care of Luka so we have no worries when we go to work or on vacation.
Luka, my germam shepherd, absolutely loves it here she sprints to the door as soon as we let her out of the car. The dogs and cats are very well taken care of and loved while the owners are away. Luka goes out there on weekdays!
Wonderful staff - Clean place. Nervous about leaving out small friends, but was relieved after taking a tour before making plans. And by small I mean a 4lb Yorkie and a 8lb Chihuahua mix. After a very hard (for US) two night stay, our friends were glad to see us, but it was also obvious they were well taken care of.
My dog loves coming to northern tails for daycare. He's so wore out by the end of the day that he barely makes it out of the parking lot before he's asleep.
For over two years I've been bringing my dog here for a toenail trim. My dog gets"anxious" there so they've always had me hold him in the lobby and an employee trimmed the nails. Today, (5/23/24) they refused to do that anymore. We left...
Let me tell you the truth about Northern Tails Pet Resort. The new owner that took over July 2023 beat a dog to have seizures. When employees disagreed that he didn't have to beat a dog when working with them. He fired the employees. And the employees that quit were bashed by them. The new owner Greg Dibble or any of the Dibbles should never be around dogs. UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR DOG BEAT DO NOT BRING THEM THERE
Abby needed grooming....... They made me feel ok about the whole experience since this was hard for her Auntie. 😂😅🤣 …
My pup Prim comes to Northern Tails several days a week for doggie daycare and the crew here is great! She always comes home tired and happy. So thankful for this service! Not to mention their in house trainer Trina is truly a dog whisperer and has given me so many wonderful lessons. 🤗
