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.

Once again Dede was the most perfect pup and house sitter you could ever hope to have the pleasure of using. She leaves our home cleaner than we left it and our pups so happy that they continue to search for her after she leaves. Dede handled an emergency situation with a false CO2 alarm which resulted in a visit from the fire department perfectly and we were so grateful! I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and know she is giving our 2 dogs the very best care. Thank you Dede - you truly are the best!
Janet and Bob were great to our pups and our home! They were our first sitters so we weren’t really sure what we were getting into, but they made it an awesome experience! They are coming back to stay with our dogs again in August. Definitely trust them with your fur babies!! 🐾🐶
Leah & Elias, were an absolute joy as housesitters. They arrived a day early so we could all meet and go over the pets routine. Our cat is relatively new and has a little separation anxiety but they managed his care really well. Our dog needed to be dropped off at a sitters and they took care of that as well. We also came home to a clean and neat house! Overall, they went above and beyond and I highly recommend them.
Lea is seriously the best! We lucked out big time with her as our house sitter. She didn't just watch our home; she made it sparkle, and our dog Mezy? Well, he fell head over paws for her! Mezy's doesn't always warm up to new folks so easily but Lea had this magical charm that had him wagging his tail from day one. She showered him with cuddles and playtime, and we got daily photo updates that were basically cuteness overload. But Lea didn't stop at being the dog whisperer. Every nook and cranny was squeaky clean, and it felt like we were walking into a Pinterest-worthy home. Our plants thrived under her care too. Communication was a breeze with Lea. She kept us in the loop about everything and replied to our messages super quickly. It gave us peace of mind knowing she had everything under control. Lea's not just a house sitter - her friendly, laid-back vibe made everything so easy. We can't thank her enough for taking such great care of Mezy and our home. We're definitely booking her for all our future adventures. If you want your pets to adore your house sitter and come back to a spotless home, Lea is the one to call. Thanks a million, Lea!
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
Great sitter and kept in contact regularly. Would gladly have her sit for my dog again.
Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie. She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get. She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps. Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with. I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
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!!

Lola, our 1 year old French Bulldog, loved her visit to Kapiti PetVilla! She hadn't been to a kennels before, but she was very well taken care of and had another Frenchie there to play with. She was clean and happy when we picked her up! Mary sent us an email while we were away to let us know Lola was happy, which was so helpful. Lola looks forward to her next visit later this year!
Mary and PetVilla were fantastic! We sent our cat and our dog there for a week and they were both well looked after. Thank you Mary and team, if we can were relocating to the South Island, we would absolutely be staying again. The 40 minute drive from Porirua is worth is knowing your pets are in good hands.
Our staffy cross Pip has stayed with Mary and team several times. This was not the first kennel we tried in the region, but will be our last. We'll not hesitate to send Pip here again. She is well looked after and always relaxed and happy when we collect her. Thanks so much, team!
Easy to book and coordinate with. We had to book nearly a week out and it was stress free. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our dogs appeared well cared for and happy. One of our dogs had allergies and they were able to spot it and gave her meds as needed. Would recommend and use again.
First time using Mary’s Petvilla. Impressed by the thorough approach at the booking stage dealing with our dog’s personality, vaccination status etc. Clear communication on what we needed to bring. Our dog came back super chilled and happy after a few days. Obviously had a great time and we would definitely take him back there.
I have had cats and dogs all my life and gone to many different cattery's and kennels. I recently took my 15 year old cat to Kapiti PetVilla for 2 weeks while I moved home. I am so so impressed! They communicated regularly and I used the option of being able to watch her in her cage 24 hours a day! Whenever I was worried about her I went online and could see how she was! This place is the best I have ever used! Do not go anywhere else - they are absolutely fantastic! I will be taking all my animals here in the future! Thank You PetVilla!
Barb has stayed three nights at Aunty Mary’s and come home happy and settled. And her coat looks amazing from all the brushing. We are so happy to have found you — thanks, team.
Staying overnight at Pet Villa was the first time our over anxious 15 month Cavalier had been separated from me for more than a few hours. She had a ball. She was very happy to be picked up but had clearly bonded with Mary too. Feel so happy to have somewhere that I can leave her with confidence - thank you Pet Villa
Mac had his first overnight stay at Mary's PetVilla this week. He can be a bit of a timid boy but he headed into PetVilla without a backward glance. On pick up he was relaxed and happy - and by all accounts had enjoyed his stay. Many thanks Mary, the PetVilla team and Mac's new four legged friends.
Our 3 boys were staying with Kapiti PetVilla for 2 weeks during what was a pretty wet and wintery time. On pick up the boys look healthy and happy. This is the first time we have left our boys for so long and were glad that whilst we were away on holiday, we did not have to worry about them at all. We are saving up for our next holiday and their stay at Kapiti PetVilla.
I’ve only recently been taking my dogs to daycare and my dogs are just amazing when they come home! Best choice ever
We suspect our dog misses her friends & carers from Zaminka. We were so happy with the whole process during her stay for over a 6 weeks. She came back well behaved and well mannered :) Thank you so much again, again and again. Charlie will come back shortly for a sleepover:) Best wishes, Monika & Paolo
Many thanks, dogs happy and cared for wonderfully. Highy recommend
Pampered pooch had an excellent stay here - a few weekends before a long Xmas/new year stay. Every time he’s been happy to go & comes back home after a great time
We've been using Zaminka for the last four years, whenever we need to go back to Canada for a visit. The staff there are friendly, professional, and ALWAYS take excellent care of our two dogs. Whenever we go to pick up our dogs after the trip, they always look wonderful and healthy, as the staff will ask if we would like them bathed and groomed on pick-up. We're often told of some of our dog's various antics while at the Dog Motel which says to us that the staff take their jobs seriously, and they truly care about them. We will continue to use Zaminka for as long as they show such excellent care and concern for our pets.
Have been taking current dog and previious dog here for years, they always keen to go in so obviously happy and also happy when they get home. Also great grooming service, especially with my double coated pain the a..... ( whilst being groomed) dog.
No way would I ever take my dogs to this kennel again. They were returned to me very skinny, with no collars, bedding, toys etc. We are talking about my 2 x 8 month old lab puppies who stayed here for 2 months. The agreement was that they would be fed 3 cups Royal Canin puppy food per day plus the treats I supplied more than enough of to cover their stay.. The owner was very vague about what they actually were fed, but said they pooed too much, so they fed them 1 1/2 cup puppy food ( no details given) and 1 cup adult dog food a day. At a time when their bones are growing, I was very unhappy with this. They were shut in their kennels, and allowed out to play with each other, but not to mix as I had specifically requested. Definitely would not recommend
Would highly recommend. The staff look after my dogs like it their own. This is the only place where I happy and feel comfortable take my dogs to. Reasonable price. Zaminka is simple the best
We have boarded our dogs here for a few years now, and we always find them in good condition when we pick them up. The staff are very helpful & we appreciate the chance to have them groomed while they're boarded.
Good the first time round. Never returned our requests for booking second time round. Perhaps didn't like our dog???
