Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
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
Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!
Robert and Biljana are absolutely the best sitters you could ever get. We have used them several times already. They have always arrived at the stated date and time. They are eager to receive any and all instructions and will follow them as stated. They keep us informed almost every day on our dogs and send pictures regularly. They always go above and beyond their duties. Robert has fixed a few things around the house without being asked. They buy things for our dogs and have even trained our dogs on certain issues. They made a concerted effort to get to know the neighbors and talked up our dogs to all of them. They will be discreet with any and all information given. We really appreciated all their hard work and effort. They have certainly elevated the bar for the next sitters. Biljana took very good care of our plants and spoiled our dogs to excess. They now expect the same from us!! We will welcome them back anytime. Hiring them is a decision that will not be regretted.
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.
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
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.
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!
I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals. My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.
You could not ask for better house and pet sitters than Ken and Jane! Before the sit: Communicating with Ken and Jane prior to our scheduled week went smoothly. They were proactive about planning. They came out to the house prior to the sit and spent a couple of hours going over things about the house, meeting the pets, and getting familiar and comfortable with everything. They were delightful people to meet; I was wishing for a couple of days to just hang out and play tourist with them! During the sit: Ken and Jane sent me daily updates and photos of their outings with my pups and with their interactions with my kitties. I appreciated how they chose the sit partly because of their love of exploring rural areas, because that's what I have here! They were perfectly suited to my home and pets. Ken absolutely loves cats and is an intuitive and experienced kitty-handler. Jane really bonded with one of my kitties; both of them made great progress with all three of my cats, each of which is pretty shy at first, and one can be a real problem child. They worked very hard to give love to each pet and ensure that each felt calm, happy, and cared for. They spend tons of time outdoors with my border collie/retrievers. The dogs had daily "spa time" after walks and outdoor playtime, having their long fur brushed on my front porch (which the dogs love!). They sent me happy photos every day. If anything came up, they just handled it. They really seemed to enjoy their adventures and the pets each day, which made my time away that much more enjoyable. After the sit: I was thankful to have some time with Ken and Jane when I returned from my trip. All the pets were calm, happy, and healthy when I got home. Ken and Jane had left me a detailed note about that last day to make re-entry easy. They sweetly left a thank you note and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table also (a very sweet and unexpected surprise!). They seemed quite sad to leave my "kids;" Jane left with tears in her eyes, saying goodbye to my dogs. We've kept in touch since the sit. My whole house really misses them. Oh, and the house was immaculate and plants all watered (inside and out) when I got home! If you're looking for kind, competent, caring, organized and responsible people to care for your home and pets, invite Ken and Jane!

Amber made our recent trip out of town so much more enjoyable as we knew our senior pup was in good hands! Amber sent timely updates and plenty of photos. Lola & Company will be our go to per care service for all future travel!
So happy to have found Amber at Lola and company. She is definitely an animal lover. I have dogs and cats and she’s great with both. My one dog is grumpy with people and usually likes no one but really warmed up to her. We felt completely at ease while away knowing Amber was taking such good care of our animals. We loved receiving updates with pictures of our pets. Highly recommend.
It took me almost 9 years of no vacations and running home during lunch breaks before I finally broke down and gave Amber a call. I have trust issues, especially when it comes to my dogs! Since then, Amber has been coming by everyday to check on my Butters 🐾🩵. Although timid and shy at first, he is now warming up to her and I feel less stressed and guilty about caring for him. I am so lucky to have found Amber and would highly recommend her.
Lola & Company (Amber) has been pet sitting for us since we adopted Bentley almost 3 years ago. She takes such good care of our fur baby! We are confident that she loves him like we do which means we can rest assured he is in good care when we are away. As a pet owner, that is the peace you need so you can enjoy your vacation even when your fur baby cannot go with you. The reports and pictures she provides to summarize her visit are a great way to know how Bentley is doing and assure us that he is enjoying time with Amber.
Our experience with Lola & Company for cat sitting was fantastic! Amber is professional, reliable, caring and kind - definitely an animal lover. We were away for about 10 days and returned to find our cat Joey to be very healthy, happy and well-adjusted. We appreciated the pics from each visit!
Amber is amazing!! Our cat is usually very shy around strangers but he loves her!! She always provides great updates with a report of how the visit went. It is so nice having the peace of mind while we are away that our boy is in good hands! And she always provides the cutest pictures too! Highly recommend!
Amber provided outstanding service and went above and beyond to reassure us that our cats were being well cared for. Excellent communication throughout and a very well run system.
Highly recommend!! Amber is so nice & very communicative. She provided updates and photos everyday while I was away. My cats love her & we will definitely use her pet sitting services again in the future.
Kris and I whole-heartedly recommend Amber for pet sitting! She is the best of the best in Wilmington. Our dog, Bear, used to be nervous when we'd leave town. Now that he knows Amber takes care of him when we travel, he's relaxed when we leave and relaxed when we get home. This alone says so much about Amber and how much TLC she shows the animals in her care. The app used for scheduling, payment, and updates is easy to use and keeps everything well organized on both ends. Amber updates with photos included at every visit. And best of all, she offers over-night pet sitting. You can't get any better than that! Two thumbs up and five stars!
Amber was absolutely amazing. She accommodated all of our needs for our dogs. She was very friendly and even took the time to get one of our dogs who takes a minute to get used to new people extra love and time. She gave them treats and took them for walks. Amber even turned the TV on so they had some background music to listen too since it was dark. Thank you so much for taking care of our pups for our wedding day! 🙂🙂🙂
Alexis watched our 3 month old golden retriever puppy for a long weekend along with my boyfriends families cat and 1 year old golden retriever! She was so communicative and made us feel super comfortable leaving the pets in great hands. She also offered us a ton of tips that we still utilize today - she’s super knowledgeable and sweet! Highly recommend for any pet care needs!!
Alexis stayed at my house for a weekend to watch my sweet pup Miller while I was out of town. She did an incredible job & I could not be more pleased! She texted throughout the day(s) to update on how Miller was doing & shared lots of photos! She is very kind & goes above any beyond - she washed the bedding, brought my mail in, and took the trash out. She even left us flowers! Miller was very happy & relaxed upon my return! Will definitely be working with Alexis again :)
Alexis is THE BEST!!! There’s very few people we trust to watch our “baby” Loki, our 3-year-old German Shepard. We can always count on Alexis to give us complete peace of mind when we travel. She most recently watched him while we were away for a full week on our honeymoon, and getting pictures and knowing she was spoiling him just as we would while we were away allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. She will take amazing care of your animal, home, and even left us flowers to come home to! Thank you, Alexis!!
Alexis managed our animals and home over a three week period. She paid attention to every detail for each animal and the patio plants. Alexis sent pictures daily to assure us of the animal’s welfare. We cannot recommend her any more highly! She is a true professional. Kim and Steve Pressler
I was traveling to Wilmington for work and needed a dog sitter. Alexis was amazing. She came to my hotel room and took such good care of my pup while I was at work. I loved all the update photos she sent. Will definitely use again whenever I'm in town.
Alexis kept our Jack Russell, Max, for our week out of town and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was so quick to answer my text, FaceTime anytime I asked, and spoiled our baby like he was her own. There are not many people I would trust to come into our home and keep Max but we are so thankful for Alexis and cannot wait to have her again.
I give Alexis and Happy Tails Pet Sitting Service five full blown stars! I have used this service twice thus far, and it is indeed the best pet sitting service in Wilmington area. Alexis spoils my dogs rotten with all of the love and attention she gives them. She also treats my home like her own with respect and tidiness. She gives you peace of mind with plenty of pictures and videos of her time spent with your pets. I will definitely be using Alexis and Happy Tails Pet Sitting Service again in the near future! Thank you Alexis! I posted a pic of Alexis kissing one of my pups.
Alexis was an incredible dog sitter! Our dog Bella was the happiest that I have ever seen her when we returned. She sent us pictures of Bella relaxing at home and out on walks. I was amazed and so very pleased with how much time that Alexis spent with Bella. Alexis is a caring and loving person which definitely comes through in her dog sitting activities!!!!!
Alexis cares so much about her charges, and is especially good for those pets who need a little extra TLC. She is totally professional, and nothing- not holidays, not Covid- gets in the way of taking care of the pets. Her online communications platform is superb for keeping in touch, no matter where you are traveling. Alexis commits all the way, is completely reliable, and is particularly good at improvising to meet the needs of the pet(s). For example, our pets arrived just before we had to travel. It turned out that we were not well set up for their care and feeding, and Alexis had both the initiative and expertise to source the things we needed- ones that we are still using and appreciate. Her experience with high-need pets really showed, as she had the patience, perseverance and experience to help our pets with some major adjustments. We came home to pets who were in better shape than we left them!
We had Alexis stay in our home, and pet sit our little dog Pinot for 5 days..Alexis was Amazing… She took wonderful care of our Home & Pinot. Alexis sent pictures & updates daily.. We felt relaxed knowing everything was in such good hands!! Pinot absolutely loves her, we can’t wait to use her service again soon!! I even came home to a Beautiful card & flowers!!! Thank You So Much Alexis!! ❤️ Could not be happier ~ Highly Recommend!!!
The staff is always so friendly and helpful. I know Bella is in good hands while she is there. I check her occasionally on the cameras and love seeing her interacting with the other dogs plus seeing the attention she is given by the attendants! Whenever she goes to daycare she comes home exhausted so I know she gets lots of activity while she is there.
WOW WOW WOW! All of the staff was super amazing and super friendly!!!! They sent pictures and videos! They loved spending time with my dog, and one of the employees even gave me a harness because mine broke?! Like what?! Kindness goes such a long way, and they have all of it! I will recommend this place to everyone that has a dog and I will absolutely be back there and that’s saying a lot because I’m very particular and don’t ever like to leave my dog but I had to and it was absolutely worth it! Thank you so much there you guys are the best keep up the amazing work!
My dog got bit by another dog, we had said he could not be around other dogs due to his previous owner allowing him to be attacked by their orher dogs. He gets scared of other dogs. So he should not have been around another dog to be bit at all. Our dog never ever eats away from home. We brought dry food and a can of wet for him to eat the second day. When we picked him up, the wet can was returned, no dry food. We asked about it, they said he ate all the dry food. I can say with 1000% certainty, we were being lied to. There is absolutely no way he ate all that food, or any at all. We didn’t expect him to eat, that’s just the way he is and we know that. It was the lying that was really concerning. But that isn’t all. Within a week of boarding he was at the vet with a respiratory infection. Ten days of lots of meds and rest he was better. A few days later he develops a yeast infection in his ears from the antibiotics. So a $120 boarding visit for a weekend turned into $670 and some sleepless nights.
My girls loved their time here! It was pretty pricy at the end of a 9 day stay but I've never seen my dogs more happy while they were away from home. How do I know they were happy? I got updates (report card) from the kennel while I was away. Included pictures, how their demeanor has been AND how they've been eating. Awesome facility and great staff!! **one staff member told me she loved my dog so much that she wanted to take her home!! thank you guys for taking such good care of the girls! ❤
The staff took care of my pet and ensured he was happy. I was kept abreast as to how he was doing. The cameras worked well and seeing my pet interacting with the staff made me smile. When you are out of town and miles away it’s comforting to know your pet is being well taken care of.
Amazing. I came to Wilmington and didn’t realize that the time had expired for dogs to be allowed on the beach that I went to. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get in anywhere as it was Memorial Day weekend, but this place was five star from the moment they picked up the phone and let me know that once I completed the intake process, I could transfer to another pet paradise in Austin where I live and I will be doing so… also considering getting dog training there. My dog was super happy when I came to pick him up and I could tell that the employees really loved spending time with him and put a lot of care and detail into the Pet report. If that wasn’t enough, they offered me a complimentary first time visit so I paid $0!! If you’re in Wilmington, don’t sleep on this place. I would definitely bring my dog back here; absolutely worth full price. 10/10
We love Pet Paradise, and our dog does too! The staff has always been very friendly, accommodating, and wonderful to our furbaby, emailing us pictures during his lodging stays and giving us a detailed update on him when we call to see how he is doing. He is always so excited when we pull into the parking lot and runs right to the staff when we enter the door, which lets me know that he is treated extremely well. We have used their services for lodging and daycare for over 3 years now, and Pet Paradise will continue to be the only place in Wilmington we trust to take quality care of our dog!
This is a great place for bringing your fur family. I have three dogs of different ages and personalities and I feel they all leave happy and well cared for. While we were in Disney for a week, they did a great job communicating anything my dogs needed and adjusted their stay accordingly. I've been to other dog daycare facilities in this area and this is by far my favorite because they keep a close eye on the dogs while playing instead of leaving them in packs unattended. The dog rooms are nice and the cameras to keep an eye on everyone is nice as well. It's not a cheap place but you get what you pay for.
Great place for doggie daycare. We were well pleased with our free trial day stay. Loved the camera views available via the app.
The staff is friendly and helpful, and we feel safe leaving our dogs there when we go away. We also use grooming services and both Brenda and Chandra do an excellent job!!
I recently took my Pomeranian for her first visit to Animal House grooming salon, and I couldn't be more pleased! I want to give a special thanks to the GM, Scott, for recommending his Groomer, Trinette. She did an outstanding job! Every detail of my dog was absolutely beautiful and professionally done. Trinette is one of the best groomers I've used in a long time. I highly recommend you try her for yourself. I can assure you that you will be quite pleased with how your fur baby turns out based upon my dogs experience! Here are my pictures, so see for yourself.
I love Animal House! I've taken 5 dogs there and they all love it. They get excited when we pull on the street! The staff is always friendly and accommodating, even on all the short notices. My dogs come home tired and happy. I recommend this place to everyone!
I really am satisfied taking my dog to Animal House Wilmington. My dog gets to run around and play and socialize with other dogs. Sometimes I have to work extended hours, days on end and it is a comfort to me to know that I can drop him off there instead of keeping him alone, bored in my apt. peeing on the carpet. I also like they have special events, boarding, dog grooming and even obedience training. The staff is very nice and friendly and I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in their hands. When I have to go out of town for several days I don't worry about boarding him at Animal House becsuse I know he is well taken care of.
My dog Finn has been going to day camp weekly for almost four years. The staff recognize us both the minute we walk in and I know I can trust them with my boy. The pool is the best part! I can’t recommend enough!
My Pittie Bleu loves to go to Animal House Day care. The staff is fabulous. He gets treats from the front desk and is always excited to go swim and play with his friends. 10 out of 10 I would Recommend.
Boarded my dogs here 3 times. The last time it was $700 and my dogs returned with kennel cough and my male with a giant wound on his head that was about 4 inches wide, a massive open bloody wound. Took 2 days to get the owner to contact us, and he just ran his mouth for 15 minutes trying to make himself look better, and that he’d pay for the vet visit then never reached back out. It’s been 2-3 months now, my dog is fully healed but I would like to warn others away from this place. The photos are far too gruesome to post, so I will leave those out so the review will post. The 2nd time we boarded them here, I put tape on the top of my food bin for my pets and on two intake forms I put that my female dog is food aggressive, and cannot be fed near my male or she’ll hurt him or worse. We watched for 2 hours while they had the food down in the same room with both of my dogs watching my female try to attack my male while nobody answered and the doors were locked so we could not inform them. I picked them up early from their stay at that time. The only reason I returned after the 2nd time and their fatal flaw in reading paperwork and food bins is because my grandmother passed away in New York and I had to make an urgent trip to go say goodbye to her. I will say on the upside the employees were always excited to see my pups, I just wish they kept the same tenacity in regard to pet safety and injures. I found out he was injured when we got home, they never mentioned it. If you’re anything like me your pets are your world and best friends, so I’m not willing to give a 3rd chance like the owner asked. This isn’t baseball we’re not playing 3 strikes in your house, this is the safety of living beings we’re talking about. As my wife and I are dog groomers this was all the more upsetting knowing the lack of safety and responsibility taking place. I pray no one else shares the experiences we have at this boarding facility.
I brought my cat here for a well needed grooming. This was his first grooming experience and I was really nervous that it was not going to be successful. I’m very grateful for the wonderful staff that made it happen. They warned me he may be agitated when I brought him home but he was happy as a clam. I think he’s pretty happy to have the mattes off of him. Thank you so much!!
This place is great! We left our 2 puppies, Rodrigo and Ranger, there for a few days and they had a blast! I was afraid that they would not enjoy themselves but when we picked them up they did not want to leave. The staff is wonderful and took exceptional care of our babies, making them feel welcome and at home. I would recommend this establishment to anyone. It has great amenities and the staff is just the best!! Thank you for taking such good care of my babies.
I am one to never leave reviews, but I honestly can’t say enough good things about Animal House. My dog is a regular for about 6 months and has boarded with them a few times, and I won’t take her anywhere else. Nicole and the staff are SO welcoming and show such enthusiasm and love every time they see my dog, as well as other regular dogs. It’s comforting to know that they care for the dogs like their own. The prices are even better (compared to other places in Wilmington). Drop off as early as 7:30 and pick up at 5:15/5:30 for 23 dollars a day, you can’t beat it. A live camera so you can see your pup having an absolute blast in the big pool or grassy fenced-in yard. On top of the high level of involvement with little holiday parties for the pups (for an extra cost of like 10 dollars) and posting “pup of the week” and happy birthday shoutouts for the dogs. 10/10 recommend to any pet owner!
Our dog Monty loves Animal House of Wilmington. He especially likes their pool. He gets so excited when I ask him if he wants to go to day camp. Their staff is exceptional, caring, and very friendly. Highly recommend for them for day care and boarding.
Absolutely wonderful experience with Pawsatively Golden Pet Care! When we met Katy for the consultation, we could tell she was a pro and had a genuine concern for our dog's well-being. She meticulously followed our dog's routines and provided daily updates with photos. Our dog was happy and well-cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Pawsatively Golden for anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Will definitely book again!
We had a great experience with MaKayla and Nikki taking care of our three cats! Our cats are super spoiled and get wet food three times a day (plus they are used to my husband working from home - which is also why we can normally feed them during the day with no problems). When we go out of town, we feel bad about how much it disrupts their schedule, especially our older 14 year old girl. Both Nikki and MaKayla gave super thorough updates for each visit with tons of pictures and info about all three of them. Crystal, the owner, was really helpful when we had questions about charges and pricing. Everyone seemed professional at every step! It's the best pet sitting service we've found in Wilmington, and we've tried more than a few. We have already reached out about our next plans to get on their schedule. We will definitely use them again!
Pawsatively Golden Pet Care is an amazing pet service! Our dog, Mac, has epilepsy and requires constant supervision. Not only were they knowledgeable, they were also very understanding to his needs. Crystal and her team SPOILS him. Your pet would be lucky to have them!
Crystal and her whole team at Pawsitively Golden have been an absolute home run. They have been 100% reliable and flexible with our changing schedule and last minute needs. They take great care of our dog and give regular updates. She met with us to talk about our needs and wants for drop inns. She knows our dog’s commands and holds her to the same standards and expectations we do. I definitely recommend Pawsitively Golden, 10 out 10!
We had a great first experience! From start to finish they were thorough and detailed. They came for a meet and greet where we were able to explain everything and ask questions without feeling rushed! Our dog has epilepsy and this has been the first time since it started we feel like we can relax while going on vacation. They sent frequent communication and sent a pic and message each time they gave him his meds so we could be assured he’d received it on time. We came home to a happy and healthy dog and a clean house! We have already booked them for a weekend trip and the holidays coming up.
I came up from Florida for my son’s wedding and was staying in an AIRBNB, so I needed a pet sitter. I got the Royal package and it was worth it. Katy was amazing and I didn’t worry one time about our babies! Crystal the owner is easy to work with and I’m so thankful that I had them! I highly recommend them!
My pets mean the world to me and I wouldn't trust just anyone with the care of my babies. Crystal and her team has helped care for my little zoo for a few years - including exotic, fish, and reptile care! They've cared for my Great Dane, chinchilla, koi pond and bearded dragon. We recently got a new puppy too who I can't wait for the team at Pawsatively Golden to meet!
Crystal and her entire team have been absolutely wonderful. You can tell this company has a heart for animals, they are willing to work with dogs’ varying personalities to make sure everyone is happy. This was our first time going through a service like this and we could not be happier with our experience. Highly recommend.
I inquired about pet care during Christmas but they were booked up! However, I’ve been keeping up with them and I’m very impressed with the education they provide to the community and their clients! I would definitely trust my fur babies in their care!
My wife and I have just returned from a two week trip to the UK and are so lucky to have left our dog and two cats in the care of Pawsatively Golden Pet Care. We don’t like to board our pets so having PGPC come to our house twice a day has been ideal. We couldn’t have asked for better care to be taken of our pets. We received twice daily reports of the visits (as well as photographs) which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. PGPC went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, taking the trash out and leaving the house exactly as we left it. Our pets seem better behaved than when we left! I cannot thank the PGPC team enough and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for professional pet care.
Your pet is in great hands with Michael! He is professional, kind, efficient and top notch! Every video that he sent of his visits my dog was wagging his tail! A sure sign of compatibility! I highly recommend Michael for your pet needs, dog and cat.
Michael is most definitely a Dog Whisperer! I have two puppies under one and that are very strong and opinionated. From the first time the puppies met Michael they could tell he was a good person they could trust. Since Michael has been walking them (and training the humans) everything has changed for the better…the puppies are easier to walk and everyone is much calmer! I had another “trainer” but nothing changed. Dogs know instinctively if a person is good and Michael and all he provides your animals is outstanding!
Michael did an exceptional job taking care of our two dogs over a long weekend. He was able to establish a good rapport with them and really put them at ease. It made our time away much more enjoyable knowing our dogs were in such capable hands.
Michael has been a Godsend. We are so grateful for him and he has quite a load here with 3 dogs 2 cats and 5 chickens. Always on time, professional and my dogs instantly were drawn to him. The daily videos we get are hilarious and heart warming. This experience goes far beyond that of a pet sitter, Michael is a pet Angel.
We highly recommend Michael with pooch n pals. He goes over and beyond to make sure all of our pet needs are met. We had a very sick dog and felt extremely comfortable leaving him in Michael’s care for a long weekend. He gave Winston a ton of love and support. My dog Georgia and cat Bella adore him!!
We recently started using Michael to walk our dog Scout. Let me start off by saying that I am an extremely picky dog mom when it comes to who takes care of my sweet boy. Scout is “literally” our only child. Michael has been nothing short of excellent! He is extremely easy to work with and schedule visits, has always been prompt, as well as very communicative about how the visit went with pictures and videos. All of this definitely puts our mind at ease that our dog is in great hands while we are away. Most importantly, Scout seems super happy on his walks with Michael! I look forward to them becoming BEST BUDDIES!!! Would highly recommend Pooch N Pals without a doubt!
Michael at Pooch & Pals does a phenomenal job watching over our pup when we go out of town & we would highly recommend him! We can tell that Michael genuinely loves dogs and dogs love him! We feel so lucky to have someone so trustworthy to watch over our pup when we are gone!
Recommend us to us from a friend, Michael (Pooch n’ Pals) has been a life saver with our new puppy Jimmy. We live in an apartment- and with all that energy and potty training in the works- Michael is such a relief to help us with walks a few times a week. He is super flexible, communicative, and always sends a few pics of little Jim on the walks! He is very respectful of any special requests we have as well as very knowledgeable about training and puppy/dog needs. I would 100% recommended him to anyone looking for some help with their pup! Pics were taken by Michael on their first walk :)
I would definitely recommend Michael for his pet services. He is so easy to work with, and understands all types of animals. He’s super dependable, and goes above and beyond to provide care, love, and fun!! He is so trustworthy and amazing at his job. My dogs get so excited to see him, and you can be at ease knowing that they are in good hands! I highly recommend Michael with Pooch N Pals.
Michael is awesome!!! We booked the wedding package with him and the entire process was smooth and worry-free. He picked up our loving Corgi at the Airbnb before the wedding, he brought him to the venue and stayed with him until his big reveal during the ceremony, and then escorted him around to see friends and family during cocktail hour until we wanted the pup in pictures. After that, he took him back to our Airbnb just like we asked! Everything went exactly to plan and it’s pretty easy to tell that he’s really good with dogs because our pup followed him around, listened well to him and seemed to really like him. I’d highly recommend Michael for any services he offers, but even for a big, stressful event like a wedding, he went above and beyond!
Tonya has been taking care of my pit/lab mix Birdie Mae for over a year. My work hours required me to be on call and sometimes she would help me out on the fly along with taking Birdie out 5 days a week around lunch time. Incredibly reliable and easy to talk to. Birdie loved her too.
Tonya provides a great service. We worked with her for several years to care for our cat when we traveled. All our family is out of state so we utilized her services many times each year. When you meet Tonya, you will immediately understand that she cares deeply for the pets in her care. We found her to be very easy to schedule with. She was very reliable and maintained a high level of communication that put our minds at ease. We would highly recommend Tonya and Happy Hound.
Tonya has been helping me care for my two dogs for several years, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable, punctual, flexible, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and kind dog walker/sitter. Even though my dogs are basenjis which are certainly not the most trainable or social dogs, Tonya has handled them with ease because she just knows dogs! I love the pictures she sends me from her walks-they brighten my day. I have, over the years, greatly appreciated Tonya's willingness to adjust her visit times as my schedule has changed and her availability to make frequent house calls when I have been away. This last summer, I took a 3 week vacation without any worry, knowing Tonya would be going to my house several times per day. In addition to her professionalism and understanding of the needs of dogs (and their owners), Tonya was a pillar of support for me when the time came to put down one of my dogs this spring. Her presence and kind, wise words helped me make some hard decisions in the best interest of a dog I loved dearly. I will be forever thankful to her for being there for me to lean on. I am sad she is leaving RI but I know there will be many happy dog owners in North Carolina.
I’ll admit I’m a crazy dog mamma with two pups with very different needs so I’m very picky with who I trust not only in my home but with my most precious babies. That being said, Tonya has been the most trustworthy, responsive and fun dog walker for my pups! They go bananas when they see her and every time we have been away with Tonya in charge, we receive updates with pictures and captions that have always made us smile and feel at ease. Tonya is also very adaptable when one of my dogs needed some extra attention while recovering from an illness and provided medication administration and feeding at no extra expense. Her prices are incredibly fair and worth every penny when you get this level of professional service. I have been trusting Tonya with our pups for years now and I highly recommend Happy Hound for all! Thank you Tonya for everything, me and my puppies just adore you!!
Tonya did a great job with our dogs! She did a meet-and-greet so our dogs would get to know her, she sent photos during our trip or of town to keep us updated, and texts, as well! We have found our new pet sitter! Thank you so much, Tonya!
Fantastic service provided by Happy Hound/Tonya. We love our babies as our family, and would not entrust them with just anyone. Tonya clearly loves animals as we do, and her care is nothing short of superb. I would recommend her to anyone who needs pet care.
Tonya is very reliable and I trust my pup Zena is being well taken care of when I have Happy Hound "dog sit" for me. The best is you get photo updates during her home visits! Highly recommend Happy Hound!
There aren’t enough stars on these reviews for Tonya! She is amazing! Been with her for almost 4 years and she is always there when we need her. VERY trustworthy, punctual, and available. I feel she has become family for us and our pups!
I’ve had my mind at ease these last 5 months because we have Tonya as our dog walker and visitor while we are at work. We rescued a dog from Puerto Rico and she arrived rather quickly so we were very lucky Tonya could take us on as clients. Our pup loves her and we enjoy our daily photo and texts from the visits. Tonya runs a very reliable and professional business! We highly recommend Happy Hound.
Tonya is wonderful and she is more than a dog walker. She not only walks our dog, but takes care of our cats and chickens when we are out of town. Oh she brings in the mail too!!! You will not be disappointed in the services she provides and your pets will love her like family!!
We are so grateful to Leslie and Michelle for taking such wonderful care of our two cats, Marla and Polly, while we're away. As frequent travelers, it's a huge relief to know that our fur babies are in such capable, loving hands. Leslie has been especially attentive, making sure both cats are not only fed and comfortable but also getting plenty of playtime and affection, and lickable treats! Marla and Polly always seem so happy and relaxed when we return, which is a true testament to the level of care they receive. It's rare to find a pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and goes the extra mile to ensure they're happy and well-cared for, and Leslie does just that. We truly appreciate everything she and Michelle do for our family and can’t recommend them enough!
We are very pleased with our decision to utilize Cat Care by Leslie to look after our cats while we were away for an extended getaway. It was reassuring to know that our pets were in “good hands” at our own home for the duration of our trip. Peace of mind and reassurance is what we experienced from Leslie and Michelle. They are competent and compassionate caretakers. Thank you both!!!
Leslie and her partner did an amazing job caring for our cat, Zachary, while we were out of state about two weeks ago. We will definitely be using their services again in the future. In addition, my fiancé and I, would like to say don't just consider Cat Care by Leslie for your cat sitting needs or compare her to the competition. Why? Because there is no comparison! Leslie and her partner are both thoughtful, caring, pleasant, and knowledge in their field of service. Moreover, it is, in my opinion, always best to take a chance on boutique size services because their level of professionalism, personalism, and level of care or standards more often than not exudes that of any brick or mortar company. Cat Care by Leslie should be your first choice for any and all of your cat sitting needs here in Wilmington, NC. Trust me you won't be disappointed!
Leslie is very meticulous and detail oriented. She took notes on meal preferences, medication times, sleep schedules and the quirks of my cats. I left for vacation feeling very relaxed about leaving my cats with her. She sent me daily updates and pictures. She is intuned to your pet’s psychological needs as well. I was surprised to find my skittish cat’s bed drenched in dry catnip and her resting blissfully.
Cat Care by Leslie was professional and attentive to our needs. Leslie herself was reassuring and a pleasure to work with. Cat Care watch over our two adult cats and our four male - 15 week old kittens. We highly recommend Cat Care by Leslie
Leslie was wonderful and very reliable. She was very easy to work with for what I needed for my cat whilst I was away. I highly recommend her services.
Cat Care by Leslie is one of these best cat sitters I have ever known. She treats every cat she cares for as if it were her own.
Skittles loves her new friend and the peace of mind of leaving Skittles with her was such a relief. Not only does Skittles already love her but we do too.
Super responsive and kind. Excellent care and trustworthy. Highly recommend her. This is my go to pet sitter!
The peace of mind I get when dogs are in their care is priceless!
Sandy Shores is THE BEST for your pets! I am so happy to have found someone so skilled and so caring! I'm very particular about who interacts with my girl, and I am 100% comfortable knowing Pickle is in her hands! I've added a picture of my happy girl after a walk with one of her new favorite humans! She doesn't often make eye contact unless she's very comfortable with the human she's with!
Glad to support Annisa in this amazing new venture that I'm sure she'll be successful at! If she was still back in Southern California, she would be the only one I would I would trust with my Frenchie Enzo with!
If you want someone that is responsible, caring and will treat your pet the way you would, then Sandy Shores Pet Service should be your pick. You can leave your pet without worrying about them the whole time you are away. If I could give more stars than five I definitely would.
100% recommend Sandy Shores for your furry family members. The owner is knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly provides top notch care for your four legged friends!
Owner is an amazing and kind soul. She will treat your fur babies as her own and work with you to meet your needs.
A phenomenal human to take care of your fur babies!! So loving and kind and responsible! Your babies will be in great (healing) hands 🩷 …
Anissa is a class act! There's no one I'd trust more with my pet, or even my kiddo if she'd let me! :) Your pets are in the best hands with her.
Make sure you leave your pet/pets with a kind and caring person that has many years of experience. I would highly recommend Sandy Shores Pet Services.
Caring. Honest. Passionate and compassionate. Loves animals.
She is a wonderful, trustworthy and reliable person.
