More than 35 housesitting assignnments completed!
We would recommend Karmen and George without reservation! They were our first experience with zeewoi and we couldn’t have been more delighted. It feels like a big ‘leap of faith’ to leave your much loved pets and home with complete strangers but Karmen and George, as very experienced sitters, put us immediately at ease and we left for our holiday in the knowledge that we were in very safe hands. On our return (11 days later) our dogs seemed a bit puzzled about our return, rather than it feeling like they were desperate to see us, which we took as a very good sign! Happy dogs and a clean and tidy house were lovely to return to.

Kind and Caring House/Pet Sitter
It's always a pleasure to have someone as warm as Nicole over again. She took great care of our young dog and cat (as well as our house) who can be a handful for one person. She even managed to get our skittish cat to warm up to her and ask for pets, and that's saying something. We loved that she was, as always, very communicative and was so considerate to send us a steady flow of pet pictures during our absence. On a few days, Nicole did have to take on some unplanned last-minute event jobs, but she worked closely with us to make arrangements and be sure the pets were looked after and taken care of. When you are hundreds of miles away from home, you can't ask for someone better than Nicole to watch over your pets. She's a kind, self-sufficient person who took wonderful care of our home, and we'd recommend her to anyone.

Communication with Noe was perfect he was super responsive, the house was left exactly the way it was when I left and Chase was super calm when we came back which means he walked him a bunch! No complaints here with Noe I highly recommend using him

Peaceful Pet Sitters
Sabrina was amazing. We got back to a spotless home and a happy cat. She was very responsive and communicative as well as a very nice person. Everything I could hope for!
Natalie took great care of it dog and cats! She was clean, organized, conscientious, and communicative. Our dog had a small cut on his foot and Natalie took great care to help him heal. I would highly recommend Natalie as a house sitter and pet sitter!
Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.
We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.
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.
Cristina is simply the best house/pet sitter that we have ever had. She is responsible and dependable and an experienced dog owner. Our Wheaten, Bridie, adores her and misses her when she leaves.
If you need a sitter don’t hesitate to pick Vanessa, I highly recommend her. She cared for our fur baby for two weeks and received the care and attention she needed. We came back to a very happy pup and clean home which is awesome after coming back from a long trip. I received texts and pictures of our dog while we were gone which gave us peace of mind. You could tell right from the start that she genuinely loves animals and will care for them as if they are hers. I will continue to use her as my pet sitter if she’s available. All I can say is she is a wonderful person!!
They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday. They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.
This was our first experience with TH and we are very pleased. From the moment Rose arrived we knew she was the right sitter for our “kids”. Communication while we were away was great with pics of the dogs as well as text messages. Rose cared for our home and our “kids” with great care, she is very conscientious of your space. Extremely pleased with the care she provided to our “kids” and our home. We have another trip planned in a couple of weeks and are happy Rose will be staying in our home again. I highly recommend Rose as a sitter!
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!

I have used Smith Kennels a number of times for my dogs. Linda and Mark are great people and really do care for the animals that stay there. Each dog has their own kennel and they keep the males and females separated. This is very important especially if you have dogs that are not spayed or neutered. Many kennel owners do not think about this and mix the dogs when they are out in the yards, not a good practice. It is out in the woods so ticks will be near, so check out your dogs when you pick them up. I've only ever found one though. Prices are reasonable and if you have questions they will contact you back when a message is left.
I have boarded my dog with Smith Kennels several times. I am thankful for their care and attention to my dog, as well as the stray dogs that they take in and find homes for. Mrs. Smith is a kind person who has saved hundreds, probably thousands, of dogs through the years. I hate to leave my dog, but when I have to, I trust Smith Kennels.
I dropped off my Beagle for a 4 day stay with the Smith family. When booking my reservation, Mark and Linda ensured I had all the proper instructions on what to bring for my pup for her stay. Their boarding facility was great and my pup had a lot of room to run in her kennel and the owners made sure to ask questions upon her arrival to ensure they knew her feeding schedule and any other possible information. I asked for daily updates on her and got a reply within an hour of each email or phone call. I want to thank Mark and Linda for showing Oaklee unconditional love and administering her vitamins as needed daily. I will be back again soon to Smith Ranch Kennels!!
I left my dogs there for a week. They came back infested with ticks. I pulled at least 50 off my two dogs, and I had to take them to the vet for a tick dip. My dogs had tick treatment on them when i took them to the kennel but they were still completely infested. My vet knew immediately where I had taken them and said that she's seen this happen to other dogs who had stayed there and that I should be watching them for tick--borne disease. My vet has seen other dogs that stayed at Smith ranch develop tick--borne illnesses. I'm so sad they stayed there for a week, and the owner never told me they were covered with ticks, and she clearly didn't give them a tick bath. I will never take my dogs there again. They're also wheezing a lot so I'm concerned they may have caught somethingelse too while at the Smith ranch kennels.
Ignore the bad review..this place is great. I left my four dogs in their care. My dogs got to be together. They went into a play yard. They were fed the food I brought for them. 3 small dogs, one large. They enjoyed their stay. Reasonable price. Great price for multiple dogs. Owners live on the property. They have access to vet care if need. Should be able to give them six stars. They do alot to rescue needy dogs. I am so impressed by them.
This place is infested with Ticks. I found A lot on both of my dogs that stayed here. They are treated with a pill and topical to prevent ticks, but still some how got them. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt after seeing all the other reviews and thought my dogs wouldn’t get anything since they are treated, but I was wrong. Just be aware and I suggest if anyone wants to leave their dog here please think twice. Especially if they are your babies! Look into everything before you board your dogs and don’t make the same mistake I did.
Do not leave your precious pets at this place. This kennel has seen better days. My dog spent two nights there and came back with ticks and smelling like piss. His favorite bed also came back wet and stinky. I stopped by the Tractor Supply store to give him a much needed bath. There is a for sale sign at the kennel's entrance and the place has an "I don't give a damn" vibe. Better options out there.
I never like to board my girls but there are times when there are no other options. We had to fly home for my husband's father's funeral and I was thankful to find a kennel I felt comfortable with. I liked the country location and the cost was reasonable, too. I would use Smith Ranch Kennel again.
I just adopted an Aussie shepherd mix from Linda and had nothing but a great experience. She kept him for a couple weeks longer to have him neutered and wait for me to be home from a trip. When I finally picked him up he was flea and tick free, and just needed a bath to freshen up. He is as healthy as possible for a dog that was a stray and then living in a kill shelter until Linda rescued him. She has several dogs that need adopted and I wouldn't hesitate to send anyone there to pick out a new fur baby. Thanks Linda!
I can leave my dogs and not have to worry about them while I'm away. I have a prized bird dog and I know several others that leave their trophy dogs with Smith Ranch including the border patrol. They spend time with the dogs and really keep an eye on them. Best value, best care, best kennels in the valley.
I’ve taken my dog to several places since moving to Brownsville. No one compares to waggin tails. The personnel is caring and understanding and so very patient. Milo always looks so handsome when I pick him up. The prices are very reasonable too. Very professional!!
Michael and his team took such amazing care of my dog I had just recently rescued. I’m really thankful for them. Their love for animals clearly shows. I would highly recommend bringing your pet here!
My fur baby Mel loves the staff. Always well cared for and she enjoys her visits! Thank You all for taking such good care of Mel!
Horrible service!! Will never take my dog here again. They mistakenly completely shaved off all my German shepherd's hair. I can only imagine what they put her through. Their apology was reimbursing me 10 dollars for ruining the look of my dog. Never again!!
Absolutely an awesome pet hotel for your Furiend pet. Friendly personnel and a very clean environment for your baby! Prices are fair and competitive for this area and I highly recommend it!
They butchered my dog. I don't think they have any clue on how to properly cut dogs hair
I have a rescue that’s not very trusting. When I first rescued him, the vet had to sedate him to be groomed. I’ve taken him to other places before and they were never able to work on him, until I found this place. They are extremely patient and caring with my fur baby and Max always ends up looking so good. I started taking my other dog there too. Not to mention this place is very reasonably priced. Great service at a great price. Thank you Wagging Tails for taking care of my fur babies and keeping them looking sharp!
We were happy with the grooming and made another appointment at that time. Today we show up at 8 am and we’re told we didn’t have an appointment. He looked on the calendar and it was there but never put on the appointment schedule. We …
Been taking my fur baby for a few years now and we love it. He always leaves so handsome and in such a happy mood. Makes me feel at peace and comfortable knowing my baby is in good hands. Currently live in San Antonio and always make it a point to get him groomed when I'm in town! Thank you Wagging tales!
I've taken my dogs for grooming at other places and many, like Blue Ribbon, I will never go back because of animal cruelty. My dogs love WAGGING TAILS and always return home with the best grooming and as …
