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 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
WFH researcher excited to provide quality care to your furry loved ones!

• 26 reviews
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.

Reviews From Pet sitter
I used to sit through Rover, but it always felt like a job. I had to accept sits I didn’t really want—like pets I wasn’t comfortable with or dates that didn’t work for me. If I said no, my rating would drop, and I’d lose future opportunities. It was stressful, and I started to lose my love for pet sitting.
Then I found Zeewoi. Here, I get to choose the pets I love, the dates that fit my schedule, and the places I want to explore. It’s not a job anymore—it’s a chance to spend time with animals I adore, and feel empowered to say no without fear. Zeewoi gave me back the joy of pet sitting.

I’m a writer who works remotely, but hotels and Airbnbs add up fast. Zeewoi lets me live in homes full-time while owners are away—not just caring for their pets, but keeping their house safe. Turns out, in a lot of states, leaving your house empty for more than 5 days can mess up your insurance.
It’s a trade that works. Owners avoid risks, and I get free places to write—like that month in a cabin where I finished my book with a snoozing Labrador at my feet. The pets keep me company, the house gives me space to focus, and nobody’s stressing about an empty home.

After retiring and losing our dog, my husband and I sold our house and started traveling full-time. We’re in our late 60s and can’t rush, so Zeewoi is perfect. We care for pets in exchange for free places to stay.
In 3 years, we’ve visited 46 states. We’ve stayed in homes, farms, and apartments, looking after dogs, cats, and even a llama. Owners get free pet care; we get to travel slowly and affordably. It’s meaningful—we help people (new parents, busy workers) and still feel connected to pets after losing ours.
No stress, no hotels. We’re healthier, happier, and forever grateful. Alaska and Hawaii, here we come!

Prashant and India were fantastic pets sitters for us. Both were dependable and were even kind enough to allow some service people into the home to do some repairs. Our dogs were well looked after and we got daily updates on how the dogs were doing. Prashant is very knowledgeable and gave us a few strategies to combat some negative behaviors that we were seeing with the dogs. Could not recommend them more. They will be missed.

Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
John
Kyle was a great house sitter and pet sitter for us. We had a good dialogue prior to him sitting for us, and we also did a short walkthrough the week before. Kyle formed a great bond with our dog Charlie and also took good care of our rabbit Poppy. A couple of minor issues came up with systems in our home due to an unexpected power outage, and Kyle was quick to connect with us and then was able to work 1:1 with the service providers to resolve the issues. We look forward to working with Kyle again.
Lynn
I enjoyed meeting Samara. Sosha arrived after I left so we only communicated in writing. Samara is a sweet, considerate pet sitter. She brought her cat, who posed no difficulties to my pets. Samara was in good communication with me during her stay. She used my car without incident. My home was left much cleaner than upon her arrival. Samara proved to be an honest and responsible pet sitter and I would open my home to her at any time in the future.
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.
Dominique
Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!
Jeanette
I have had 4 pet sitters this year so far. And Liz was the best! She was wonderful with cats. She has an easy going manner and is very comfortable to be around. Very smart and she is a great communicator. She followed all directions and left the house spotless. I highly, highly, highly recommend her! I would have her again anytime!
Tina
If you’re lucky enough to find Anna as your pet sitter you will have peace of mind and well cared for pets whilst you are away and a clean and tidy home on your return. Anna is thoughtful and kind, she arrived the evening before the sit which allowed for some time to hear about her interesting travels and work, kept me updated with fabulous photos and details of the friendship she was making with the cats and even took the trouble to fix a sticky catch on the cat flap. I can recommend her as a sitter without hesitation. Thank you Anna
Mara
Jerry and Suzanne were absolutely ideal sitters for our home and pets. We spoke with them ahead of their visit and could tell that they are genuine pet and travel lovers. Over their stay we got to see even more that they are wonderfully friendly, kind, and responsible - plus they kept us laughing with their updates and descriptions of our pets' antics while we were away. Our pets and plants were well loved and our house was spotless upon our return home, and they were even kind enough to leave a few goodies in the fridge. Our dog in particular seemed to miss them and their long walks around the neighborhood. Thank you Jerry and Suzanne! We wish you well in your travels!

Amazing experience! Five stars all the way... Nikki was kind enough to watch our two cats Thomas and Toby while were away on our honeymoon. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable with clear communication and quick replies. Since she was local in Atlanta we got to meet her ahead of time and hand off keys before we left. While we were away she sent pictures of our little buds having fun and being themselves, so we always knew they were ok. She always showed up exactly when she said she would from pickup to dropoff and it was so incredible to know they were in good hands, and we never had to worry. They love being around people so for her to have been able to stay with them and love on them regularly we came home and could immediately tell both Thomas and Toby felt great as they were completely comfortable. Much much different than when we leave even for a few days and have a pet sitter stop by and feed them. She asked all the necessary questions in advance, so she didn't have to email or ask anything while we were away. She even took the time to make sure everything was neat and tidy, prepped the sheets to be changed, and was unbelievably sweet to get us a wedding gift we both love. Nikki we can't thank you enough for taking care of our cats, and we would only be so lucky if you stuck around town! :)

Heidi did a great job with my kitties. I had just moved in to a new home and new state - Heidi was prompt and professional in setting up a first meeting to see my home and the cats. Her follow up was also fast and professional. And, most importantly, she connected quickly with the cats and they love her. I'll be using Heidi for my pet care needs. Highly recommend! Professional, caring, and trustworthy. Hallmarks of good care.
Heidi took care of my cats for a week while I was out of town. She provides truly outstanding care! My cats were in a great mood when I came back. One of them is really shy and she managed to get along with him. She sent frequent updates, including videos and pictures. I will certainly ask Heidi to care for my cats again when I travel. Highly recommended!
I recently moved to the area and after trying another pet caregiver I would definitely say that Heidi has been the best for my kitty girls! Heidi is very professional; provides updates with pictures and/or videos every visit! Sometimes my cats can be a little finicky (hey they're cats) and we have to adjust something but Heidi handles every visit with ease. My girls are so relaxed when I come home from a trip because they've been well cared for! We're lucky we found her. I'd recommend her to anyone!
I use Heidi to cat-sit for my two indoor cats when I'm out of town. She is absolutely wonderful. She keeps in touch, is timely, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about my cats! She knows their personalities, likes/dislikes, and always sends pictures and/or videos when she stops by. I trust her completely and never have to worry when I'm away!
Heidi is absolutely wonderful with our American Staffordshire Terrier. Heidi has taken care of our dog multiple times and I know every time that our dog will get the best care possible and be treated like a member of the family while we are away. Heidi is very good at giving updates on how my dog is doing at her home and has always made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her home. She is very organized. You can tell she has a great love for animals. She pays attention to the schedule we keep for our dog and replicates that in her home. I recommend her to everyone I know.
Heidi is amazing! Her love for animals was apparent the second I met her. She is incredibly thorough, kind, and professional. I just moved to Iowa and I can't imagine a better person to look after my fur babies! I know they are safe and cared for when I am gone. Highly recommend!
I give Heidi my highest recommendation! She's great. She has cared for my cats several times, and my cats are comfortable with her. She is professional and prompt. She administers medications and provides updates when she visits. I can count on Heidi to provide high quality care to my furbabies (and fish). Thank you, Heidi!
We have been clients of Pristine Pets(Heidi Schmitt) for almost a year and very highly recommend her service. We have 2 cats and Heidi follows our instructions to the letter and asks for updates as each visit begins. Her updates via text and email make being away so much easier and we honestly feel like Heidi loves our girls as much as we do. Heidi responds very quickly to our requests for her service. 5 stars!!!!!
Heidi did a great job keeping me updated and sending pictures/videos each time she visited my pup (3 times a day). It was great to have the reassurance he was doing well and getting plenty of outside and play time. Thanks Heidi!
Heidi was fabulous with my dog, who is shy of people he does not know. She was very patient with him, and has developed a trusting relationship with him. She kept me informed throughout my time away from home with updates and photos. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worries! I will definitely be using her services again!

Our cat Sunny was in amazing hands at Tails! He is a newly diagnosed diabetic and needing insulin and extra monitoring. Patsy (owner) went above and beyond sharing updates and the staff was so nice and welcoming!
Highly recommend for boarding! Patsy and crew took great care of my 6 dogs and gave us peace of mind while we were on our trip. 5 of our 6 dogs have never been boarded before. She moved 2 of my dogs to a larger room, to accommodate my Senior dog with hip arthritis. This made room for the cot for easier access to get up and to go outside. Thank you for making Ginger more comfortable. Very nice place, clean and peaceful. We will come back in the future for boarding. Thank you, Patsy and team! 👍👍❤🐾
I am so pleased with the care that was given to my dog at Tails A Wagg'n Resort during her recent board there. My newly rescued dog is very shy, timid, nervous, and anxious. Patsy went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that my dog was comfortable during her stay there. My dog learned to trust Patsy, and that is not an easy thing to accomplish. I would highly recommend using this facility for all of your boarding needs!!
My 14 month old baby had to be reluctantly boarded for 5 days. Leo is a 80 pound Bernedoodle that has not been properly socialized. He also has not been away from my side for more than a few hours. I was broken hearted to leave him but Patsy assured me that he’d be fine. Patsy texted me several pictures of Leo everyday showing me how much fun he was having. She also provided updates on how he was doing daily. The extra attention that Leo required was provided by the crew and made me feel relieved. Words cannot express my immense gratitude towards this second home for Leo. Amazing! Leave your puppy here knowing that Patsy and her staff will do anything at all to make your experience delightful and totally awesome!!
We travel out of town often on weekends and our dog, Kota, loves it there!! She stood beside me with her paws up on their counter like she was checking herself in and then couldn't wait to go see all the other dogs that were there. We love that we don't have any worries leaving her there, Patsy and her staff are so friendly.
I have never had to board a dog until recently and I am so happy that I found Tails a Wagg’n! Patsy and team were amazing! Thank you so much for taking care of Riley!
My German Shepherd had a great time there! He was happy and ate all his food, we got daily updates and pictures while we were away! I’m very happy we found this place!!
Patsy gave us a tour of the facility and she answered all of my many questions that I had. We definitely felt very comfortable knowing our pups would we taken care of! They made drop off/pick up quick and easy. We knew our dogs had a wonderful weekend away and we were worry free! I recommend checking them out! :)
I sent my two dogs to board here while I was on vacation. They were so spoiled, they had so much fun! I got daily updates, and pictures. Definitely recommend them!
Exceptional place to board your dog! They take the time to get to know each dog and their needs and idiosyncrasies! The facility is clean and the workers are clearly vetted for their love of animals and well trained. Our dogs take medicine and they have special diets and Tails A Waggin listens carefully to instructions and will go above and beyond to make sure each dog is provided a safe, warm, clean and loving stay-cation. I would not take my dogs anywhere else!
