Rose
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
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.

Jordan
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
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!

Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.

Hannah
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
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
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
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!

Courtenay
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
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
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.

Andrea
We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
Shannon
Janis and her husband Dan were beyond phenomenal! Communication was great leading up to their arrival, especially with coordinating arrival and departure times. And during the sit, I got lots of picture updates throughout of how Isabel was doing. I could tell from the pictures how comfortable and happy my dog was hanging out with Janis and Dan and getting all the pets and attention. Coming home, everything was left so clean and organized. I definitely recommend them as pet sitters as they clearly took such good care of both my pup and my home.
Hannah
Tina was a fantastic house/pet sitter for my cat Trixie - I can’t recommend her enough! She was very communicative and also self sufficient and I felt completely at peace with Trixie in her care. She took it upon herself to water my plants and also trimmed Trixie’s nails, which I always struggle with! She provided perfect company for Trixie, playing with her, brushing her, loving her and giving her daily medicine. She also left my apartment in perfect condition. I would gladly have Tina pet sit again. A 10/10 experience.
Brooke
Sharon was a fantastic sitter for our week away! She left the house as tidy and clean as we left it, including changing the sheets for our arrival. I truly cannot even tell she was here and that made coming home after a long travel day so much easier. She was communicative every step of the way and provided daily updates on our cat with photos. We knew our home and pet were in good hands! I would gladly welcome Sharon back any time should we be so lucky : )
Bonnie
Bard and Kim are amazing house sitters and pet care givers. I would recommend them over and over. I wish I could add numbers to the scale. They would get a 10+. Bard and Kim were super easy to work with, efficient, self-sufficient, and considerate. They took immaculate care of my home; it was definitely cleaner after they left! I would recommend them without hesitation over and over.
Hayyah
Kate was an excellent house sitter and pet sitter. She was thoughtful, sensitive, and attuned to our cats and the particulars of our house. It was really easy to communicate with her and she was responsible and conscientious about everything. When we came back our cats seemed unfazed by our return which was a great sign and it was obvious that she spent lots of time with them and gave them lots of love. The house was spotless on our return and she even alerted us to a health matter in one of our cats. She sent lots of cute updates and was easy going when we messed up a logistical detail on our end. Just a delightful person all around. I'd love to have her come again and if you have a chance to have her housesit, jump on it. She is a gem.
Suzanne
Melanie and Steve were excellent house & pet sitters. They sent me so many pictures of my 3 cats without me even asking and it made me so happy to see them enjoying their company. I'd say out of all the house sitters I've had, they spent the most time with my cats which means a lot to me. They are kind, easy to connect with and I'd welcome them back anytime. As far as caring for my house - top notch.
Jessica
Megan and her partner were INCREDIBLE pet & house sitters during my 5 days away last month. I received consistent communication in the form of updates & photos and I had the true sense that Megan was invested in the wellbeing of my animals and truly enjoyed being with them! My house was CLEANER than I left it (immaculate!) and she left a sweet card thanking us upon our return. Truly the best sitting experience I've had thus far, thank YOU so much!
Josepha
Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her. Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging. She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away. And the biggest compliment I can give: when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot). I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.
Aaron
Leo and Susi were wonderful pet sitters for our two cats. They were responsive, communicative, and gracious guests, and the I swear the house was cleaner when we got home than we left it. The cats were very contented. Any time we leave we will be checking in with them first. Such a pleasure to work with.

I hired Rachel to care for one cat, several tanks of fish, and my houseplants while I was away for several weeks. She visited prior to meet my cat and to see how to care for the fish and plants. My cat doesn’t warm up to strangers very quickly but she was all over Rachel almost immediately. Rachel did an excellent job. She sent multiple beautiful photos of my cat, Marie, playing happily every day, sent a photo when a sensor I had on one of the tanks was indicating a warning so that I could tell her how to fix it, and, though she said she isn’t a pro at caring for plants, even all of the plants looked great when I got back. I’m very happy to have Rachel to care for my pets when needed and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.
Rachel has been so amazing with walking my dog Betty! She always shows up in the promised/scheduled time frame and the fact that I get pictures while they are out on their walk is the best added touch! Will definitely be recommending her to anyone looking for a dog walker/pet sitter!!
We recently had the pleasure of Animlz providing both check-in & overnight services for our one fat cat & we (and the cat) were so pleased! Both Rachel & Luke first offered their time for a fun meet & greet to get to know our furry fella & to learn all the specific ins & outs of his routine. Being out of state twice, once for a weekend & then for a full week, & having them take care of our little friend was so reassuring with their regular updates & such great pictures! Our little guy seemed to especially be enjoying all the physical playtime activity that Rachel & Luke initiated with his favorite toys. We will definitely be using them for all of our petsitting needs in the future. Thank you again Rachel & Luke, we are so appreciative of all you do!
As a retired pet sitter , I knew exactly who I was looking for. Rachel and Luke fit right in with our demanding dogs and birds. My pets were happy and relaxed when we returned home. We will definitely use her service again.
Rachel is the best. My anxious dogs loved her the first time they met her and she has been so wonderful. She’s reliable, communicative, fairly priced and is there when we need her. Having her watch our dogs has been a Godsend for us and I feel really good knowing my dogs love playing with her. I can’t say enough good things. She and her company are 5-star amazing and we are so happy to have found her. 10/10 recommend with no reservations.
What a fantastic friend for our pooch (and on occasion our cats)! Rachel is one of those folks that is able to immediately establish a rapport with our furry family members. Our Pit Bull adores her and treats her like a family member whenever she comes by. We are so glad to have found Animlz! It's a comfort to know there is someone out there we can entrust the care of our dog buddy to without reservation or hesitation!
We had an awesome pet sitter at our old house, so when we moved to the country from Maryland, I was a little anxious that we would be able to find someone who would take as good of care of our cats and chickens. Then I met Rachel and within just a few minutes, I knew our pets would be in the best hands possible while we travel. She asked all of the right questions about their care and feeding, I felt very confident she would take good care of them in our absence. We just got back from a two week trip to hike the Alps- the longest we have ever been away from our pets- but I knew all would be well when we returned, and it was. Rachel is fantastic and I highly recommend her for her dedication, concern, and attention to detail. Even better? She sends the best animal portraits and videos every time she visits! I feel so connected to our pets while we travel because of her regular communication and I know when we return, the house and coop will be spotless and the cats and chickens will almost be sorry we are home. :) If you love your pets like we do and want them to receive the best care while you travel, reach out to Rachel. I guarantee you will be thrilled with her services.
At our first introductory meeting with Rachel, my dogs were so excited to meet her and loved her right away. In the time since, we use Animlz every week, whether it’s a midday dog walk or up to four times a day when we’re on travel. We trust Animlz to take care of our dogs and our home and the pooches are always happy to see her!
They did a great job caring for my 9 cats and kittens while I was away. They kept me updated on the little ones and even got some of the cutest pictures and videos. I would highly recommend them.
Rachel & her team are awesome! We needed to find a new sitter for our dogs, cat & chickens - Rachel and her crew take the time to learn about your pets and ask the right questions to make sure they get the best care possible. We've used Animlz for both potty breaks & overnights, and have been very happy each time. Thank you so much, Rachel & Luke!

Della and Applewood are the best! Today I picked up my dog, he has stayed there four times in the last few months. I've taken advantage of their excellent grooming services and had to request a picture or two when we were away multiple days and missed him. Everything is reasonably priced and well organized (the check in and out process takes seconds, you'll see). Lastly, the best compliment that can be made is--my dog hops out of the car when I drop him off and energetically pulls me into the building (enough said).
We had a great experience with boarding our German Shepherd at Applewood Kennels. They took great care of him and went the extra mile to give him some chew treats to help with his anxiety (he was there for an extended stay). We got text updates and pictures from them while we were gone. They were kind, patient and understanding to his care and needs. We will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!!! Thank you so much Applewood Kennels! :)
We recently boarded our dog, Tank, at Applewood Farms & Kennels, for several days, and are extremely happy with our experience! We found the kennels to be very clean and loved that Tank had space connected to an outside run. Della was great to work with and answered all of our questions along the way. Tank even got extra love from her family during his time there which means a lot to our family (since he’s used to kids loving on him). We will definitely be taking him back to board there in the future. Thank you!!
Applewood is a fantastic kennel. The facility is clean and spacious. Della is very friendly and exceptionally kind to our dog. We're very happy to have found such a great kennel for when we need to board our pet. Highly recommended.
I heartily recommend Applewood! Clean, well maintained, attentive to our dog's needs. Della kept us updated with texts and photos of our Labrador "Gus" who had a blast during his stay. We will definitely leave Gus in their capable hands whenever the need arises.
We have used Applewood twice now. The facility is extremely clean. The staff is fantastic and friendly. Della went out of her way to us during a “Moving of homes” during Christmas week by keeping our babies. I would highly recommend to everyone.
Applewood Farm is now my pups favorite place to go while I am away!! Della is always extremely accommodating and goes above and beyond with the care of my fur babies to make sure they are comfortable. One of my dogs tends to be anxious in new places, but almost immediately warmed up to Della which solidified my love for her business. I can’t put into words how much I appreciate her taking great care of my pups.
I can’t recommend Applewood enough!! We have been taking our pugs there for a few months and we absolutely love it! Della and her entire family have been so welcoming to us and our pugs. It has been such a blessing to be able to drop them off while we are at work and know they are safe and happy.
Toured the kennel. It was spotlessly clean with no unpleasant odors. The staff was knowledgeable and pleasant. The animals seemed happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using this facility for our dogs in the New Year!
I hate to only give them four stars but we haven't yet used their boarding services, just had a partial grooming for our dog and he didn't cooperate. But it's a home based business and they're very friendly and very affordable. : )
