Jerry and Michelle are so great! From viewing their profile and reviews, I knew our dogs would be in great hands while we were out of town. Communication was smooth and reliable throughout the whole process, from the initial zoom to when we made it back to our respective homes. During the house tour on the first day of the visit, we were very comfortable and got along great. We received photos of the pups each day, usually with funny captions and usually with the dogs under their blankets. The house was super tidy when we got back, and we appreciated the fresh sheets after our 9-hour drive home. We would not hesitate to have Jerry and Michelle come back again - hopefully with nicer weather next time!

For the animals, loving companion
Leslie was wonderful! I would highly recommend her. She did an excellent job taking care of our 4 horses, 3 dogs, and Earle Kitty. When we arrived home, they all looked happy and well kept. She texted updates and sent pictures every morning. The house, I couldn't even tell she had stayed. Leslie washed towels and bed sheets and remade her bed. She is a lovely person to be around.

Molly and Lee knew exactly how to be over the top sitters. The house and Tabby were well taken care of. I was pleased to know that they embedded with our community and staff. Additionally, Molly and Lee were able to explore beautiful St. Lucia to learn of why it is so great to live here. Mary and I look forward to their return next year. Molly and Lee, job well done. I appreciate the work on the lawns, absolutely beautiful.

Lovely people and wonderful sitters. The cats were happy and my home was well cared for. Nancy communicated well through the sit and was flexible setting up arrival and departure times. She and Dan would be welcome back anytime!

Pete was a very reliable, animal-loving petsitter. I received regular updates about the well-being of my pets. My house was left behind clean and tidy. I hope that he can come back another time for petsitting.

Rebecca is very sweet and incredibly considerate. We had a nice long zoom call before confirming the sit and she was easy to talk to. At the time I had two kitties and one was very ill. Rebecca asked thoughtful questions and had so much experience that my stress and anxiety were alleviated; I was grateful to have found her and felt completely comfortable entrusting my kitties and little piece of paradise to her. Unfortunately my Fizzy Fitzy's health deteriorated and he didn't make it. I let Rebecca know before the sit that it would be only one kitty and that he would be adjusting to the loss of his "brother" and companion and might need more care and attention. She was so kind and again, I felt like the universe had sent me the right person. Rebecca and I got a chance to meet as we overlapped by an hour or two on day one; I was so glad to be able to see her in person and give her a hug before I left. I returned after about 10 days to a calm kitty (which was amazing given that he'd just lost his lifelong companion) and an immaculate apartment. Rebecca even washed the sheets and made the bed which was so beyond helpful and appreciated after a tiring trip. Rebecca sent me a long message on the last day letting me know what had been done and showing a walk-through of the home (she's very thorough, which I love), so I knew what I was coming home to down to the fruit in the fridge. Seriously, the place was immaculate! I know you're journeying on Rebecca but I would love to have you sit anytime. Thank you!

Mature couple ready to help.
Shelley is a dangerous and incompetent housesitter. She should never be entrusted with anything more valuable than a houseplant. Her pet care was terrible. On the 2nd day she left our 2 dogs outside in the backyard, unattended on a 83-degree hot, humid summer day with no water for 90 minutes while she left our home to go out for a walk. We saw this on our Ring camera and immediately reported this to zeewoi (full complaint currently under investigation) and let her know directly how concerning this was for us. Not only was it unsafe to leave the dogs outside while she left the home, but it also went against clear instructions that were communicated to her in person during the handover and in writing about what to do with the dogs anytime she left our home. She repeatedly had trouble following basic instructions that were communicated verbally, in writing and in text reminders. She was incapable of following basic pet care requirements. We asked that only one of our 2 dogs be walked once a day (I did not want her walking the other stronger dog, because during the handover we went on a walk together and Shelley DROPPED our dog's leash). We use Fi collars, so we know that over the course of 11 days, Shelley brought our dog for only 4 walks. We did a phone interview with Shelley and never did she inform us that our medium sized, 40 pound dogs would be too much for her to walk. Additionally, Shelley traveled with her sister who clearly is unwell (likely dementia or some sort of developmental disability) and also was afraid and nervous around dogs. She never informed us of this, and it was clearly a huge safety issue. Shelley's sister let our INDOOR cat out multiple times (at least 4 times are seen on outside cameras). Sometimes our cat was left outside for 20+ minutes without Shelley or her sister realizing. This is so, so dangerous- we are on a main street with a lot of traffic. We are lucky our cat didn't get lost or killed under her "care." Shelley and her sister left our home in a terrible, and honestly gross and unsanitary, condition. A paper bag with human feces was found in our bathroom and made the entire 2nd floor of the house stink for days. The rug in my office was covered with urine- which makes me wonder if she locked my dogs in this room for extended periods of time. Our dogs are fully house trained and have never had any potty accidents. The kitchen was filled with flies, milk had been spilled in the refrigerator and never cleaned up (a gross film had formed by the time we got home). The blender was put away in the cabinet unclean. The recycle bin was filled with dirty trash- so much so that we got a notice from the city. She carelessly used metal utensils and scratched our Le Creuset dutch oven (which will now void its lifetime guarantee). Three brand new bars of soap were taken from our home, like they were some sort of hotel amenity. Shelley went into our basement storage freezer (which she had NO need to access) and took home 3 gallon bags (about 20lbs) of frozen tomatoes I had harvested before our trip from our garden. When I addressed this with her, she claimed her sister packed them by accident (which, if true, & your sister is so unwell that she's packing things from someone's home that are NOT HERS, she should not be allowed to travel with you). However, I don't believe that's the case- 20 pounds of tomatoes aren't really something that just sneaks by your consciousness- it's A LOT of tomatoes. Shelley was offended I accused her of stealing, but that's what she did. She ultimately returned them, knowing full well she was in the wrong. I'm not sure what else she might have taken from our home, as I didn't think I needed to take an inventory of our belongings and supplies before we left. Ultimately the sit ended when our one of our dogs ate some of a marijuana plant in the backyard (she had never shown interest before and we did not know the plant- with no flowers on it- was dangerous). We do not blame Shelley for that (even though it was probably from a time the dogs were not adequately supervised in the backyard); having the plant where dogs could access was our mistake, and one that will never be made again. The part that is extremely concerning is that it took Shelley nearly 2 hours to get our dog to the emergency vet from discovering the first symptoms (she first texted me at 6:26pm that our dog was unwell and "having seizures" and did not leave for the hospital until 8:12pm). And I am certain she never called the zeewoi vet emergency line. She eventually reached out to my mother (our emergency contact while we were in Europe) and my mom told her to go to the vet ER immediately. Afterwards Shelley stated via message, "I cried, prayed & hugged her throughout the incident." So, instead of getting prompt medical care for our dog (emergency vet was clearly listed in our printed out home instructions), she prayed for her. Unhelpful, incompetent and incredibly dangerous. I'm not sure how she has previous good reviews. We were shocked by the incompetency and complete inability to understand and follow simple, clear directions- there are, sadly, many more examples I could include here. We are grateful our girls survived having her stay in our home. I would hope no one else ever has to deal with such a horror. To finish things off, disapproving of the legal marijuana plant in the backyard and probably of our rainbow flag displayed on the front of the house, Shelley texted "You need prayers. Find a Bible based church to go to and get healed. I pray for your soul."
Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
Brian is absolutely amazing. This was his third time sitting for us and the dogs love him, he left the house immaculate, and is totally reliable and communicative. We can’t imagine a better sitter and hope he’ll come visit and stay in touch now that he has moved to the area.
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!
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
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!
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!
Charlie was again an outstanding sitter for us whilst we were away at a wedding. This is the second time having Charlie and although we have not met face to face we completely trust her with our home and of course our cat, Nala. Charlie left the house spotless which is amazing to come home to after a long day of travelling. She is reliable, good at communicating and trustworthy and we would not hesitate to recommend her enough. Thanks again Charlie, we hope you come back again and there might even be a dog next time😁

Brought our malamute in for nail trimming. We were nervous because she freaked out at the humane society when we tried. But my dog let them trim her nails with very little / no fight back. Everyone was super nice & took us on short notice. Will definitely be going back
My dog Jupiter absolutely hates her nails getting trimmed she's 9 months old and never been able to do is she faught to the end but they got it done they were amazing and talked so sweet to her I will be back.
I just love this place, Kathleen and staff are true animal lovers My chubby pug goes to Kathleen for his nails trimming He is 13 very chubby. Lol. I love Kathleen and staff ,all so kind and caring.I never wait long times and always a great experience.best place around for grooming.
Kathleen and her assistant are amazing! Skilled groomer, kind, and accommodating. I couldn’t ask for a better poodle cut for my grey toy poodle Bella
I brought in two dogs who were in DESPERATE needs for cuts… I was worried they wouldn’t cut them because they had some matting but no, they were just as kind to my little furry cousins as they would be to any other dogs. They were kind, compassionate, thoughtful and efficient! Would go back again and again!
They are great with nail trims for my German Shepards!
Kathleen and her young assistant are friendly, kind, and caring. They groomed my Bella a toy poodle beautifully! Will gladly return. Loved these ladies and this place
First time here with my dog Charly. He is usually very fearful when going to a groomer, but Kathleen must’ve put him at ease because she said he was wonderful. He looks great, she did exactly what I wanted and the price was very reasonable. I will definitely use Dapper Dog for My dog’s grooming needs.
They take such great care of our dog. She always comes home looking and smelling wonderful. They are quick and professional and reasonably priced.
my little yorkshire terrier (4lbs) was never into being groomed,at all.but Kathleen was kind and patient. She hung in there and did an exceptional job. I guess 40+yrs.experience pays off. So glad i found her !!!
My dog and I came to Jen for behavioral issues and I left with a changes dog. I went from frustration to a respectful & loving relationship with mt Malinois. Jen Culver is absolute magic ... all stemming from an unparalleled work ethic, love and deep understanding for dogs and her superb talent overall. Sheldon & I look forward to working with her on many more things in the future as Sheldon gets older.
Outstanding
We have been working with Kevin and Julie for over a year now and I would highly recommend their organization. They have been caring for our golden/lab since he was 6 months old. Our dog adores Kevin and Julie. He has come to depend on …
It is a pleasure to write a review about this great service! We have used dog tales for five years and we are beyond satisfied. My cat and dogs are treated the way I would treat them with great love and care! In addition, during family …
We have been using Dog Tales for three years and find them to be very reliable, trustworthy and professional. They give our dogs the same love and attention as we do. They have been very accommodating to changes in our schedules whenever possible. They have become like second parents to our dogs and it is comforting to know that our pets are receiving such a high quality level of care. They are great communicators as we always receive a brief written summary of the day's visit. We are very lucky to have them. The dogs feel the same way too. :)
I was afraid to trust the care of my best friend to anyone, but my work schedule required that he have someone let him out and play with him during the day and when I traveled. Dog Tales was recommended by a friend so I gave them a call. Julie came for the "Get to know us visit" which went really well. My pup bonded instantly with Julie!. My Otter fell in love with Kevin and Julie! Their excellent care, knowledge, commitment and love for my boy was amazing. Kevin and Julie undeniably provide the best care for all the pets they come in contact with.
We have been clients of Julie and Kevin for over 6 years. We never had to worry when they cared for our two active labs as it became apparent they loved them as much as we do. Dog Tales was perfect for us as they worked with our constantly changing schedules, were prompt and always cared for my dogs as we would.We now live in Ct. and miss them dearly, as we have been unable to locate a service that cares for our dogs as well!
They did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs for a week while we were away on vacation. Great communication. We had never used a dog sitter before and were nervous about the whole ordeal. We had nothing to worry about, they did a great job for us and showed great care for our dogs. We would definitely recommend their services and look forward to them helping us out again in the future.
While away on vacation, we used Dog Tales to take care of our chocolate lab Teddy. They are a local dog/pet sitting company located near us in the Hudson Valley (Orange and Ulster County). They provided excellent service and let us know about the costs ahead of time. More importantly, they gave us peace of mind knowing that our dog was being taken care of. I know they also take care of cats while people are away.
We have used Dog Tales for over 4 years. We have 3 dogs and a cat. They are family to us. We use them weekly as well as for vacations and overnights. My pets adore them. They are caring and concerned for their well being. They are professional, reliable, friendly and trust worthy. We can't imagine our lives without them. We highly recommended them.
When we adopted a hyper puppy we knew we would need someone to take him out on the three to four days a week that we'd be gone for more than 8 hours. We also have a very shy and anxious 13 year old dog. She is scared of just abiout everyone. We hired Dog Tales thinking that they'd only need to take care of the pup. But Sadie the senior warmed right up to Kevin and Julie! Dog Tales are consistently RELIABLE. When it's slushy or rainy, they wipe up the muddy paw prints. They always leave a note to let us know how the visit went. When we added a cat to our home, Kevin made sure to give him attention and treats (which he brought himself). I would (&have) highly RECOMMEND Dog Tales. We love them!!!
We have been using Dog Tales services for over a year and we are blessed to have found them! They are reliable, trustworthy and always work to accommodate us. They treat our boys wonderfully and I know they look forward to the days they get their walks with Kevin and Julie.
