Tricia
Whatcom County, Washington
Responsible, Experienced, and Loving Pet/House Sitter
It was such a pleasure to host Tricia! She was incredibly kind, organized, and responsive, and took care of our two cats like they were her own. We would welcome Tricia to stay at our house again and highly recommend her for other sits 😊
Cindy
Whatcom County, Washington
Professional, flexible, world-travelling pet loving married woman with one cat.
As this particular sit was very last minute Cindy offered to take Bo to her place due to prior commitments. As she has pets of her own there was no hesitation on my side and I was beyond grateful for her offering to do this. I know Bo loved it as his daily walks were out in the county side not his usual city adventures. Thank you from The White House!
Julia
Whatcom County, Washington
Retired caregivers, living the dream! We’ll love your pets like they’re our own!
We enjoyed having Kevin and Julia as Housesitters! From our initial “interview” to communicating while we were away, it was easy! Checkers, Stampy and Bae (the fish) were well-taken care of and happy! Our house was very clean when we came back and I appreciate that they went above and beyond by putting one of my kids bedding that was in the dryer on his bed. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Kevin and Julia sit again for us! Thanks!
Barbara
Whatcom County, Washington
Spending time away from your precious home or pets? I'm the one for you!
Barbara is an amazing pet sitter and we wouldn't hesitate to have her back. In fact, we did ask her to come back and gave her our next dates, but she is booked. If you choose Barb, you'll find a physically fit person with a great personality, completely trustworthy, tidy, communicative, and mentally stable. Barb left our house spotless. She washed and dried the sheets and towels, and the place looked great when we returned. All I can say is that Barb is a great find! If she lived closer, we'd want to be friends with her. Our trip was one week long. Since this was the first time we've left our cats, we were naturally fretting. Barb came a day early to meet the family and learn the routine, which was truly above and beyond the call of duty. Over the course of the week, she sent us text updates and photos, and she responded to our texts without too much delay. Our two cats want her to come back! At first, Milo hid and wouldn't sneak out until Barb went off to bed. (He's a shy kitty.) But by the third night, Milo was snuggling on the bed with her and they were best friends. Finnegan, our outgoing cat, checked her out and gave her the seal of approval right away. When we arrived home, I think our pets were actually disappointed that Barb had left. They wanted her to stay. We recommend Barb with the highest number of stars in every category. We'd give her more than 5 if we could.
Kristina
Whatcom County, Washington
Pet and home lover looking for house sits in BC Canada
Well, we were lucky enough to get Kristina to sit for us once again! This time, Kristina had to deal with a rodent problem in our house (yes, it happens to the best of us!) while we were gone and she was amazing! She got together with our wonderful neighbour who has a cat and arranged to 'borrow' the cat to do some hunting at our house. The situation was taken care of (temporarily of course, as we are now dealing with it to ensure it doesn't happen again). Kristina is a star! Once again, we returned to a pristine house and a home-made loaf of sourdough bread. Could it get any better?!?! We think not. The only problem with Kristina is that she is becoming too popular and we are afraid we might not be able to get her for our next sit!
Colbe
Whatcom County, Washington
No dog or cat left behind!
Jaci and Colbe saved the day! They were able to be with my Senior cat (who needs meds twice daily) for a last-minute overnight stay. They were super friendly and sweet and attentive. Communication was great before, during, and after their sit, and I knew my cat was being well taken care of. My house was left in the same condition I left it in as well. :) I'd love to have them back in the future!
Heather
Whatcom County, Washington
Experienced and trust worthy
This is the second time I have had Heather care for our dog and house. I can not state enough praise about her. She is very organized, fabulous in communication and daily pictures. We came home to a content dog and a meal prepared for us!
Kelly
Whatcom County, Washington
Happy and YOU know it!!
Kelly was great! The cats and our house were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and hope she'll be available for another sit at our house sometime. Thanks, Kelly!
Onika
Whatcom County, Washington
Empty nester excited to meet furry friends while exploring where next to settle
I am so thankful I found Onika! She is absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond anything I could have asked or hoped for! She gave my cats so much love, when I returned they were so so happy! Onika also kept me updated daily with photos and texts (which I appreciated SO MUCH), which helped ease my mind while on vacation. I knew my fur babies were being loved and very well taken care of! When we returned, not only were our cats happy, but our house was immaculate! It looked as though a professional cleaner had come! Onika is a gem and I am so thankful for her!!! I will definitely be asking her to cat/house sit every time I go on vacation!!

Happy Sitters
After30hours of travel, we arrived home to the stench of a messy pile of runny dog poop. I had to clean it off the hardwood floor right then. Then I noticed a bowl of water. (That should be outside) and the animals had slopped water all over the hardwood floor. Shortly thereafter my husband found some poop and a bunch of paper towels that had clogged up the downstairs toilet. Every time we turned around we found more. A bunch of food left in the fridge, a whole bunch of damage to the plaster in the wall next to a sliding glass door. The floors were filthy and sticky. Not vacuumed. House was definitely dirty. Towels just sitting in the washer. There was much more. When confronted with the evidence, he out and out lied. “I never used that toilet” “My daughter wouldn’t have touched the antique Lionel trains that they were specifically told not to touch”. Even though they had been played with. We have only ever had FANTASTIC people with zeewoi, but this was the WORST experience. He was also very non responsive to texts, did not keep me updated on our babies, so I worried the whole. Time. I was gone. It was awful.
Reviews from Dog Owners

Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.

Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉
Amanda
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
Ann
Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover. They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx

Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.

We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.
Rebecca
Romina and Ignas took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were away! One of our dogs, Beau, is extremely high energy and it takes a special person so make sure he gets enough mental and physical stimulation each day. Romina kept us in the loop of his trips to parks and outdoor excursions. She was very thoughtful and responsive during our time away. Additionally, our home was in pristine shape when we returned from our trip. The rooms were clean and tidy and Romina left us such a thoughtful note. Romina and Ignas are top notch sitters and I'd highly recommend them to anyone with pets! Thank you so much, Romina and Ignas. Our dogs were so well cared for and loved.
Craig
Ryan is a great house and pet sitter and I definitely recommend him. He took excellent care of my apartment and my dog for peace of mind when I was away. He is professional, friendly, and experienced.
Teona
Alia is truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used. My husky LOVES her. Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly. She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia. She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)
Paula
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

Kim is amazing! She absolutely loves animals and takes great care of them. She is super flexible and always willing to work around our schedules as much as possible. She goes out of her way to make for the best experience possible for her clients and their animals. Our dog has been going to Kim’s for about 7 months and loves it every time. She feels right at home in Kim’s house and is well cared for and loved. We can’t recommend Kim enough!
Kim is a trustworthy person. She loves taking care of dogs and when our family go on a vacation trip we all know that our pet Rico is in good hands with her. We highly recommend Kim!
Kim is amazing, she has gone above and beyond for us in caring for our two dogs. Our youngest had a UTI and bladder stones while we were away. Kim drove her to the vet and took care of her for us. She also sends updates, videos and pictures of our dogs.
I was fortunate to find Kim at Pet Pleasers in early 2020. I have a little Boston Terrier named Ariel that is always with me. When I had to leave for a location that I could not bring her, I considered cancelling my trip. Since Kim had gone to my school years ago and I knew who she was, I contacted her and had a few discussions over FB and eventually went to her house to check it out. She has such a dog friendly home. A safe fenced back yard, double gated front entrance and she treats the dogs just like her own. I was very impressed that she also wanted to have Ariel spend a few hours at her house to make sure she got along with everyone and that she wouldn’t pose problems for other dogs. That’s so important to me that she doesn’t simply accept any dog. She makes sure that she reduces the chance of problems that can occur due to animals that may be too aggressive or cause problems for other animals. She truly does everything she can to provide a safe and fun environment for every animal she cares for. I left Ariel for a few hours to see how she did and she did great, playing with other dogs and running around freely. After that I left her for a week and was pleasantly surprised to get the occasional picture and video from Kim showing me how Ariel was doing. Although I bring Ariel’s crate along, Ariel has free roam of the house and yard all day long and most of the time she jumps on Kim’s bed at night and sleeps on the bed…just as she does at home. I can’t say enough good things about Kim and Pet Pleasers. I no longer have to worry about Ariel being constantly locked in a cage, or deal with the scams that so many other kennels have where they want to charge you $5 for a daily hug, or $10 for 5 minutes of one-on-one time, etc. Kim is open and honest and provides a friendly, loving home-like environment for the dogs she cares for. Her pricing is very reasonable with no extra charges for paying attention to your dog. She clearly loves animals and you can be sure she will treat your dogs like her own. I will never go anywhere else and I’m so glad to have found Kim at Pet Pleasers. I may miss my dog when I have to go away but I know she’s in good hands and don’t have to worry about her. You can’t go wrong with Kim of Pet Pleasers and I believe that once you try her, you will never go anywhere else either.
Kim is amazing with our dog! We always love having Kim watch our Daisy because we know she will be able to run and play and not be stuck in a kennel all day. Communication is great and Kim is very easy to work with. Thanks Kim!
Our senior bichon, Louie gets stressed at traditional boarding kennels. Kim from Pet Pleasers treated him like part of the family. It is a relief to have someone so great with dogs taking care of him in a home setting. Will continue to book here and recommend!
Pet Pleasers is truly like sleepover camp for our doggo! Kim’s care and consideration for the animals in her care is evident from the happy barks that greet you upon arrival. There is plenty of safe space for them to roam and play, and when it’s time for rest, they have their choice of several warm and comfortable beds. We’ve never boarded our dog before we met Kim, and it’s a relief to find someone who loves him as much as we do. Pet Pleasers for the win!
Kim has been great with my great dane Jaxi! She can be a nervous Nellie and Kim understand her needs and always makes sure she is comfortable. I have left her there for longer vacations and overnight stays. Jaxi is always glad to see me come back but Kim always sends me pictures and messages while I’m gone letting me know Jaxi is having a great time. Wouldn’t take her anywhere else!!
Don't like leaving our Pomeranian, Bija with anyone, but he's treated like family at Kim's place. Just like at home he's able to sleep on the bed and watch TV. By request she will send pictures and a report of how he's doing. We have total confidence that Bija gets the attention he deserves.
I am not comfortable leaving my husky just anywhere or with anyone! Kim is the only person I have ever left her with when I leave town that I feel good about. Taken care of, safe, not in a kennel or crate with small bits of "play" time. Its a healthy environment that i have no concerns for dog illness such as parvo or kennel cough. I drive 45 min to leave my girl with Kim.

We have been taking our dogs to Deb for a while now and they love it! One of our dogs has severe separation anxiety, so having somewhere with caring staff that caters to small dogs allows us to take some time for ourselves without feeling guilty about neglecting our doggies! If you have a dog that’s under 25 pounds, definitely look into daycare and boarding at 3 Schips!!
Love love love! Our dog Pax LOVES going to play with friends. Deb and staff are truly wonderful with the pups. We’re so grateful for these folks. We do day care once a week and also board when we’re out of town. What a life-savor. Again, SO grateful!
Such a special spot! Our small (pandemic) pup was apprehensive about other dogs and people but we wanted an option for her to socialize. Deb and her lovely staff worked with us to ease her in to daycare, and it’s been a game-changer. She now LOVES her 3 Schips days: goes in tail wagging, comes home happy and pooped from all the fun. Sweet staff, details on behavior/activity provided each visit, and excellent communication.
Need a great place for your small dog to play and have fun? Then this is the place for your pupper. Deb and her amazing staff always provide wonderful service and support. They monitor the animals closely and provide daily report cards for fur baby mommas and poppas. Deb usually requires a day's notice prior to drop off. If you don't call prior, then don't be surprised if you have to be turned away. She will work with you for special circumstances, but the responsible thing to do is to communicate with Deb so she has a heads up. I think I can speak for most of us when I say that I appreciate Deb's desire to ensure proper staffing and pup limits. She does this by asking us to call at least a day prior to you doing off your pup. Cash is king here, so payment options are limited.
We have been bringing our Yorkiepoo here for about 31/2 years. He absolutely loves coming here. The owner Deb and her staff are true dog whisperers and they love our dogs and their job. They only take small dogs up to 25 lbs , but it's a great place to take your dog. They come home happy and very tired!
Cooper loves day are at 3 Schips and a Girl. This little doggie daycare is wonderful. The little furry kids have a beautiful, inside and out, facility to play in. Cozy chairs to cuddle with each other, and benches outside to chill on in between zomies in the play yard. I highly recommend 3 Schips and a Girl!
This is a great place to board your small dog. Very caring and professional. We boarded our small cocker for 5 days without any problem. Would highly recommend Deb and her staff.
The best dog daycare, tailored to small dogs. Deb Bruner and her staff are very attentive to the dogs and understand dog behavior. Adorable decor, and very clean
My pup loves it as much as they love him!
Best doggy daycare ever

Had the pups nails done, quick and good enough considering the pup is not cooperative. The place is a bit stinky but I guess it would be hard not to be 🤷🏻♀️ I haven’t been to many groomers. I’ll be back! …
I just picked up my two Springer Spaniels and I am really happy with what a great job Pooch Palace did! I usually groom them myself and I can be a bit nit picky. There are no shaver lines and their paws were trimmed up really nicely. I am starting a new career and will definitely bring them back to save myself the hassle. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
This place is a gem. I love the homey feel our dogs have. Our big shepherd likes to hang out with the Littles. The staff is friendly and amazing with our dogs.
You can really trust this place. Heather and her staff are definitely pet lovers! As well as insuring that your fur baby is safe and happy they can deal with other issues like medical care, anxiety, old age. I know my pets are in good hands always.
Took our shaggy Boi in for his annual cut and couldn't be happier. They did exactly what we wanted, and his paw-de-cure makes him stealth again. Thanks a bunch
This place has been a godsend, Heather is so kind, patient, and passionate about animals, you could just tell by meeting her. I'm usually a bit skeptical when it comes to someone else caring for my dogs but I'm not worried when it comes to bringing my dogs to the Pooch Palace! They have a great time and we're happy they have a fun, safe environment. 10/10 would recommend and it's been my 3rd time using the dog boarding service and definitely not the last. Thank you again, Heather and team!
Specifically asked you not to touch our dog's tail hair. Especially the amazingly cool white tip. You indeed did not touch any of the other tail hair with the exception of chopping off the amazingly cool white tip after we asked you not to. I was able to overlook the bowl cut you gave him but you just had to cut off that tail hair didn't you. We will never be back. Pooch Palace, I think not more like pooch poor house.
Left our black lab and German shepherd pups here for 9 days. They came back washed, groomed, and toenails clipped. Wasn't even expecting that! Plus the prices are unbeatable. They also offer a military discount! Thank you pooch palace! We are definitely return customers!
This place is a gem! My two dogs and two cats recently stayed with them for almost three weeks, and they took very good care of them. Highly recommend
This was my first time taking my elder cocker spaniels to Pooch Palace. The gals were really nice and attentive to the things I shared about my dogs, giving them a little background on each of them. They let me know how much it would cost, and I found them to be very thorough. I did think they were a bit more expensive then some other places, but the professionalism and cut was definitely top notch and completely worth it. I am very happy, and my pups look cuter then buttons! I would totally recommend. Thank you 😊 Update...from the first groom to the 3rd groom, I went from 65 a dog to 90 per dog!!! My dogs are cockers...I wondered why and just figured they priced me right outta there. Too bad, nice folks there. I drop my stars, am dissappointed☹

We have used Kayla several times and she was great! We have 3 dogs and they just love her. She is meticulous in caring for them & our house is always clean when we return from traveling. Highly recommend her for day visits or overnights.
Kayla provided exceptional house sitting and drop in visits to my kitten and 2 pups! She is extremely knowledgeable, reliable, and kind. I get nervous leaving my pets with new people, and Kayla kept me updated with pictures and little blurbs about how my kiddos were doing! It was a very stress-free process, and I cannot say enough good things about her services!
Kayla is reliable and communicative. I don’t worry about my pets under her care and know they love spending time with her.
Kayla has taken such amazing care of our two dogs and cat on many occasions. She sends wonderful updates throughout our time away and our animals love her tons!!!
Kayla has a love for animals. It was evident in her interactions with our anxious and dramatic, middle aged pooch. She is kind and eager to deliver whatever you set out for her to do. We highly recommend her whether it be for a day or a lengthy stay.
Kayla has taken care of our boys many times! She is trustworthy and professional and most importantly loves our dogs as if they were her own. We will definitely be using her services in the future! Kate & Chad
Kayla has taken excellent care of my special needs cat. She is super friendly and attentive. My cat loves her!! Highly recommend!

Beautiful and wonderful farm! My Alaskan Malamute stayed here for one week. Very clean and well maintained. Tracie is amazing! She is very sweet and great communication. She kept in touch everyday and let me know how my dog was doing. He got to play outside on the farm and play with other dogs. When I picked him up he looked well taken care of. He looked great and was so happy!! I will definitely bring him back. I feel very comfortable leaving him in good hands.
Amazing place, great price. Our dog loves it here.
They take great care of our fur buddy when we are out of town!
Great place to ride!!! Loved it
