Kind and Gentle Person Who Loves Animals!
Laura was an outstanding pet sitter. She took excellent care of my dog and provided needed medication for him daily. She understood the directions of my greyhound's routine and followed then beautifully. He really bonded with her and he slept in her room while we were away. It was so reassuring that Laura was so comfortable with him. She texted me daily to keep me abreast of his activities. She even took him out with her for dinner one night. She was so kind that she left a monogrammed collar sleeve for him. She also left a treat for my boyfriend and I! I only wish that she lived closer to us so that we could see each other on a regular basis and my sweet dog could play with her. Laura kept our house in immaculate condition and her attention to details were really appreciated. A pet owner would be lucky to have Laura sit for their pet. Patrice

Looking forward to meeting new people/pets. As a retiree my schedule is flexible
This was the second time we used John as an extended house/pet sitter, as he is a mature, responsible pet lover who takes his responsibility seriously. Once again John did a wonderful job, communicating regularly with us while sharing pictures of our cats. We'd recommend John very highly to anyone considering him for a house/pet sit.

Respectful and friendly animal lover in pursuit of global adventure!
Chelsey flew to Oregon to care for Lucy for four days and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She came a day early like we requested and we so enjoyed getting to know Chelsey. She is a delight…funny, caring and very warm. Lucy immediately fell in love with her and even slept with her the first night when we were still home. Chelsey took Lucy on many adventures…to the mountains, the coast and even paddle boarding on a local lake which she loves! Chelsey kept us updated with photos and texts. When we got home every thing was tidy and in order and Chelsey left us a lovely note. We highly recommend Chelsey for your next sit. In fact we are hoping she returns to be with Lucy again!

Experienced caretakers looking to go where we have never been before.
Great sitters - were very flexible with our departure and return dates/timings. The photos I received showed two relaxed dogs!! House was spotless when we returned. Thank you!!

Heather and Monica were great dog sitters! They were easy to communicate with and sent us pictures of our dogs daily. We felt very comfortable leaving our 2 dogs and our home in their care. We hope they will sit for us again!
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
Sharon was an excellent sitter who I knew was taking great care of my two dogs while away. She walked them, was a clean guest, and sent regular pictures and updates. I’d recommend her to anyone.
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!
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.
Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.
Great sitter and kept in contact regularly. Would gladly have her sit for my dog again.
Joe arrived some days before I left, so I could show him some nice places in Switzerland and he had enough of time to learn all about the dogs and how to handle them. He is an amazing nice and an animal/natur loving person who took care of my dog with incredible affection when I was in vacation. I could really enjoy it, because I knew, everything is ok at home. He sent me picutres and I could see, how much fun they have together. He cooked for the dogs, mad a lot of nice hikes with them and huged them, when they need it - so he even got the trust from Artu (as a man really not easy). And not only that, he made woodruff punch for me and sowed my tomatoes and spoiled them with melt water. And he helped also the women which looked after the horses and helped her to going walk with them. Generelly he is super friendly, so everyone in the village likes him. He is considerate of your belongings and has handed the house back neatly. He is just the best. I'm so gratuful he was here. So, if you have a chance to get him as a sitter, take it. Your animals will be grateful to you and have a good time while you are on vacation. Joe, you're not just a dog sitter for me. You were so familiar to me from the first moment. We had a lot of fun and we already miss you sooooo much. I'm really looking forward to see you again in some monthes.
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.
Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly. We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house. Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues. We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs. Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!!

Love that we have Olivia's in the area. They were awesome with our dog Dusty. They bathed him, (which we tried to do and eventually gave up), combed out his undercoat, (which we tried to do and eventually gave up), cut his nails, (you got it... We tried to do and although somewhat successful, we decided to let the girls at Olivia's do it), and then gave him a haircut. Awesome job!!!!
Unfortunately, all the staff that groomed my dog left the business and I have no clue who is the grooming here now? I’m sure there’s a good reason why they left. I have a beautiful standard poodle that needs someone that knows what they’re doing and the girls that groomed my dog no longer work here. Do yourself a favor and go to a new place: OK The Doggie Detailer’s (about 15 mins away) and you will be impressed. I definitely was. I didn’t need to drop my dog off first thing in the morning and they were done in two hours. They did an immaculate job. My dog was happy to be there. Your beloved animals deserve better and kinder groomers!
My dog is animal aggressive. But loves people. Olivias happy tails did a great job at keeping him separated. We were involved in his nail trimming and he looks feels and smells so much better. He didn't want to leave. Now he won't stop smiling
Let me first start off by saying that the abhorrent customer service of this disgraceful establishment is the absolute least of your worries here. I implore you, do not allow your animals to be subjected to such disgusting behavior. When you Bring your dogs in for a simple trim and they come back with not just bloodshot and swollen eyes but their eyes are dark red and filled with blood, that is a sign of abusive and neglectful behavior. These detestable people deserve nothing short of being shut down. This place and these people are vile.
My Pug shepherd loves going to Olivia's! They do an awesome job. 👌 He is clean & happy. Thank You …
Dog abuser. Dog came back all cut up and in bad shape. Shut her down and call the police!
From my heart... No other Olivia and her stuff... OMG the best in the State of NY God bless you Olivia No best words can describe you Thank you beautiful angel
We have been going to Olivia's Happy Tails for a few years now. The salon is bright and clean with cool boutique items in stock. Colleen and her girls are always super friendly and very helpful. They are always patient with our over-dramatic Siberian Husky, taking great care while trimming her nails and making her pretty. We recently brought our cat there so they could dematt her fur, making her feel a lot more comfortable. Keep up the good work, A+
My dog gets very matted as she just refuses to be groomed by me. These guys are so good with her. If it wasn't for them, I don't know how I would care for my pooch.
First time there, they did an excellent job trimming my very small dog (10lbs). Second time her hair was left longer. I Waited a week to get the nerve to call. I really don't like complaining. She told me it was the same as last time and didn't offer to get it right or even to look. I'll be taking my dog to a different groomer. She lost a regular customer at $60.00 a shot.
My dog stayed for a week, never boarded before and he came home just as I left him, which is great! Easy to find and they are very nice!
We've been trusting our dogs to their care for many years now. It's great to have such peace of mind knowing that our pets will be well cared for while we're away. Their facility is clean, and the owners are friendly and helpful. I would recommend them without hesitation.
Great People to deal with. Our two dogs are always safe and secure.
They have such nice accommodations for the Animals! I really felt that they listened to me regarding my pets special needs and took excellent care of them. I highly recommend this Kennel and am so glad I found it!
We miss taking Toby there! We moved South. Toby went there since he was about 6 months old. They were so good with him and he loved going there. Very clean, professional, caring. Great placed
My dogs came back happy and healthy, so I can't ask for much more than that!
Send my two dogs here multiple times. Great experience! They love it!
Very knowledgeable, caring and flexible! Always send our Duncan there whenever they have room.
Great job
