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.

Life is available only in the present moment
Mirielle was great with our cats, one of whom has special needs and the other one is a scaredy-cat. By the end of her short visit, the scared one got within a foot of her, which is remarkable. The most complicated part of taking care of our cats was keeping their food separate, which she did. When I got home, the cats were glad to see me, the house was all in order, and all was well. What more could I have asked?

Mature, responsible pet lover loves to travel
This was the third year in a row James watched our pets. For the third year in a row, we came home to happy and cared for pets and a house that was left in great shape. We trust James; and it is a wonderful feeling. We have old pets. Our little dog is over 15 years old and has some special needs. James handles her like a loving pro. James is a go to person.

Frequent Petsitter Who Loves Travel Seeking Accommodation and Pets to Watch
Elizabeth was an excellent sitter. She is clearly an animal lover and was in tune with our cats, especially bonding with Daisy who loves company and cuddles and attention, but also winning over slightly more picky Saffy. Liz kept us informed throughout the sit with photos and news and we came home to two contented and calm cats. The house was neat and tidy, the sheets and towels in the wash, and everything clean. We are glad she liked our area and Bushy Park and made use of our bicycle to explore. We have no hesitation in recommenting Liz and hope to see her again in the future.

Kind, impeccable house/pet/property sitter for your home and pets.
Leslie did a great job taking care of our four cats, our house was neat and clean, and we received lots of pictures from her daily - we can't thank her enough! Aside from an alarm on an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in my office (she has NO blame for this one - it failed while we were gone!), she was self-sufficient and took care of all out plants and paid great attention to the cats!

Experienced, caring sitter and your pet's new best friend.
All expectations exceeded!!! Outstanding, Amazing.....I would give a ten star review if possible. Patricia was my first sitter off zeewoi and she was a dream come true. Patricia is an excellent communicator, is responsive, flexible, kind, thoughtful....you get the idea that I can't say enough!! Then there was the cat care. My cat Minnie has never before been so normal upon my return from travel. Typically Minnie would be a nervous wreck after my travel, have lost a ton of hair, be meowing constantly, etc. Not this time, it was as if I never went away, amazing!! Minnie was so well cared for! Patricia is a cat whisperer I am certain because my cat can be a paranoid freakazoid but she was normal with Patricia! Patricia also sent videos and pictures which was both very sweet and made me realize I needed to up my own game playing with my cat.... I'm sure she misses play time with Patricia. And like many other reviewers mentioned, Patricia even left gifts...wow, what!.... .I was the one who should be gifting Patricia!! Thank you Patricia, you are an amazing pet sitter!!
honeybee was a great sitter for our 3 animals. She communicated very well throughout the sit. Our flight home was delayed and she was great about being able to cover the extra days. Her connection to the animals was wonderful. We were less organized than intended on her arrival due to some unexpected work issues, and she was great about rolling with the changes (e.g. the closet doors were missing as the painter hadn't finished with them). She used public transport to get to Golden and then drove our car while here. She left a few items behind, and her attention to kitchen cleanliness could be better, but we would definitely have her sit our pets again if the opportunity arises.
Rebecca was amazing! She is a kind and clear communicator, took loving care of our pets, and left the house in perfect tidy shape. My husband commented, "You can't even tell she was here!" :-) Her calm demeanor, intelligence, humor, and common sense experience as a pet owner made her the ideal sitter for our 7 pets of varying species, ages, personalities, and needs. She managed the pet routine like a pro—including diapers and daily meds for our older dog—and cared for all of our pets as if they were her own. If you're looking for total peace of mind, Rebecca is your sitter!
Tom provided a last minute sit when my 2 week long trip got extended to the 3rd. The previous zeewoi sitter was no longer available for the 3rd week, and Tom came in as a savior. As requested, he started his sit a day prior to the posted dates (thank you for being flexible). He met the prior zeewoi in person, since I was not in town, and got to know the house and cats quickly. He sent pictures of the cats each day and added a note about their well being. He was independent and was able to figure out how to use the litter genie on his own. I returned to a clean home and healthy happy cats. Would love to have Tom return and recommend him to anyone leaving their pets in his care.
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.
Bryan and Dana were the perfect sitters for Cella. We were delighted that they were able to arrive a day early so that we could enjoy dinner with them and get to know one another. We would be honored to have them sit again. On top of their great care they left us a thoughtful friendship gift. zeewoi continues to be the best site ever. Not only do we have great pet sitters for Cella, we also have the opportunity to meet great new friends. Thank you!!
Rachel was an excellent pet sitter for my cat. She was a good communicator and also kept my place very tidy. She even left me a gift of a bar of chocolate upon her departure! Highly recommend.
Jeremy and Brooke were fantastic! We have a senior dog and a over hyper pittie. They gave Daisy her meds and had lengthy walks with Fin to burn off some of his energy. Brooke sent me regular texts to show me precious pictures of the pups by the Christmas tree, which warmed my ❤️. The house looked great when we returned. They are awesome detailed sitters and will make your pets feel loved and secure!!
Janis is a wonderful person and also an incredible sitter -- we were very, very fortunate that she agreed to care for our beloved pets and rural log home for 3 days. We were confident that everything would be perfect – and it was. We returned to a home as clean and ordered as we had left it, inside and out. All plants were thriving; outdoor hanging baskets were blooming profusely. Most importantly, our beloved dog and 4 cherished cats had obviously been lovingly and attentively cared for. The koi were also active and happy. Janis is a “cat whisperer”. She is especially skilled and patient with shy felines, so we truly appreciated her patience and caring for our sweet Angie (with a semi-feral background). Janis immediately understood that Angie, despite her reclusiveness, craves affection and was able to start to earn her trust even with such limited time. Among Janis’ many gifts: she is a talented photographer and delighted us with frequent updates and photos of our furry children. They are so beautiful that we, with her kind permission, plan to include several in our zeewoi profile. Janis’ communications, reliability, self-sufficiency, and punctuality were exemplary, start to finish. We made a wonderful new friend and have already invited her back to sit again. If you are privileged enough to ever have Janis sit we are certain that you will be as delighted and happy as we are.
Laura is hands down the best sitter that we have ever had care for our pets and house! Having her stay made our trip away so care free and added a super fun layer of getting her daily (morning and night!) updates with photos and videos, some were hilarious I love Laura’s sense of humor! We were gone 8 days and when’s we arrived home our house was cleaner than when we left, mail on the counter, yard was picked up, it was beyond what we would expect. This made our first day back so easy. Oh’ and our pets were so relaxed and happy we knew they were loved and taken care of while we were away. Laura knew that we were coming home late and she even had bought a yummy quiche, rolls, fruit and juice so that we had breakfast in the morning! Laura is responsive, a great communicator, I could go on but simply put she is welcome at our house anytime. Simply the best!! Thank you tons Laura!!
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda

There are so many options to board a dog, but we are beyond thankful to have found Hammertown! Mary and her staff treat our big GSD like family and, judging by pictures regularly sent while we're away, he responds in kind. From the moment we walked into the comfortable living room-esque waiting area, we and our pup were at ease and every pick up reveals a well-loved dog. If you're looking for a serious kennel that will tailor their service to your dog's needs, Hammertown is the place to go!
Our pit/lab Louie had a wonderful time at his 2 night stay at Hammertown Kennels. He hadn't been in a boarding situation in a few years, so we were nervous about how he would do with the other dogs. Joanne and Mary are very knowledgeable about dog behavior and knew which dogs to introduce him to first, and in a careful and safe manner. Their love for dogs was evident and we so appreciated their care and concern. When we received a video of Louie joyfully playing off-leash with another dog, we were so happy and relieved. We have already booked another, longer stay.
I highly recommend Mary and her staff at Hammertown Kennels. This was only the second time we needed to board our Basset Hound, Lulu, and it was a wonderful experience for us as well as Lulu. Our anxiety was eased as we received pictures of Lulu with other dogs, interacting with staff, and even a video of Lulu in the play yard. We even got some helpful training tips that are working for us. Mary and staff show such obvious affection and provide a vacation like setting for all their guests. We will definitely be back!!
Highlights: they provide great care for your pet, great communication (they send updates with photos & videos throughout), pets are happy and free (my dog loves going), friendly and caring staff and an incredibly organized operation. The location is perfect and beautiful. Each pet has its own kennel with indoor and outdoor space which is great. Would recommend to a friend? : absolutely.
Our experience was amazing! Everyone at Hammertown Kennels clearly loves dogs and treats them as if they are their own. Communication was amazing and the service was easy and efficient. My dog was happy and I could relax knowing he was in a caring environment getting lots of exercise and love. Mary was super accommodating when I had travel troubles and needed to add additional time. What a great find! 🥰
Can't speak highly enough of Hammertown. Our dog Lulu has stayed 2 times for extended stays, and it's very comforting for us to know that her days are enriching. We love getting photos of her everyday! When she comes back, she's happy and well adjusted.
If anyone is ever looking for dog boarding/training I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Hammertown Kennels in Pine Plains, NY. They are Amazing!!! The place is Beautiful. The kennels are indoor/outdoor - seperated by a doggie door so that your dog can go in & out as they please (inside air-conditioned of course). There is a farm with horses that the dogs Love. A shallow lake to run and play in. And the Owners are just Great people. I can tell my dog Loved them very much. I am so happy that I chose them & I will most definitely bring my Nala back. 🐾❤
Our 3 boys had a blast here!!! Everyone was so kind and accommodating. We were in a bind & needed a place to board our boys for a week over the holiday weekend, so we reached out to Mary and she gladly got them in. While they were staying there we received pictures and updates which we really enjoyed. Would recommend to any family or friends needing a place for their 4 legged friends.
We boarded our rambunctious and social dog with Mary this week. She got socialized with other dogs, spent time out of the kennel in the office and went on walks. The kennel and grounds are gorgeous. Mary sent videos and pictures so we could see how she was getting on. Mary was very responsive by text.
Most loving and individual attention you're dog will get at any kennel
Amazing care for our dogs! The entire staff is so welcoming and really make is feel like they truly enjoy having our crew stay with them. It's nice to go away and know they are happy and well taken care of.
Last week our puppy had his first boarding experience at Ledgewood. Heather and the staff took extra special care of Ellis. We so appreciate the care and attention they gave him and we loved receiving the updates and photos during his stay. Thank you Ledgewood!
This is an indoor/outdoor dog kennel on a large working farm. The staff will take you dog for long walls around the property of several acres, have them go for a swim in the onsite outdoor pool or do basic training training sessions during their stay. The dogs staying in the outdoor kennels during nice weather do tend to talk to each other a lot. I didn't have my dog stay here but used their pool for training purposes.
Jax has never been away from us for more than 12 hours at a time, but he did amazing from Friday morning drop off til Sunday evening pick up! They have a beautiful, cool facility where the dogs could stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. He was tuckered out for the next two days from all the running around he did, and he came back to us like a new dog. We had been working on off leash recall but he always ran off. Since he came home from his weekend at Ledgewood, he has perfect manners off leash. We won't ever board anywhere but Ledgewood!
I used to board my dog Bailey here before he passed away and he actually *loved* to be there! The staff took such good care of him! I brought my parents' dog Maple over, and they were so courteous and helpful. They listened to all her fussy habits that my parents liked to keep and didn't mind at all. She came back looking beautiful and happy. Great experience and a great location for a kennel!
We love Ledgewood for our two dogs. Our pitty can be a bit dog aggressive but we know she is safe and loved at Ledgewood. We ask to have our two dogs kept in separate kennels but close so they can take comfort in seeing each other and Ledgewood always accommodates. We travel 45 minutes to Ledgewood because they have always done what's best for our to babies. They also were easily able to accommodate our one dogs medication. We started using them a few years back and could not be happier!
Rosie is so sweet with my ZuZu that hates going to the 'spa' Really top notch grooming and affordable.
Our yellow lab, Bodhi, loves Ledgewood and loves Amanda, who looks after him. When we arrive for a stay, he pulls us into the office with his leash, he's so eager to get inside and see his friends, both human and canine. I think he'd rather stay at Ledgewood than be spoiled with us at home.
We've been taking our GSP here whenever we cannot travel with her. Friendly staff & reasonable rates. We would recommend Ledgewood to all dog owners.
Both of our dogs actually get excited when start to drive down the road to your kennel. We’ve tried them at others and they’ve always come back injured or depressed. They live you! That means we do too. Thanks for always taking such good care of Rudy and Sadie
