Lifelong pet lover, longtime pet sitter!
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.

Spending life's adventure caring for your animal loved ones, big & small, w/ TLC
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!

Caring and loving pet-sitter.
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!

Eric is a wonderful sitter! I knew he would be great after I saw all of his 5 star reviews. When I first talked to him, Eric was very amiable, and asked all the right questions, which showed me that he had read through the listing and paid particular attention to the types of pets that we had and their particular quarks. Eric took the time to meet with me as needed before he came to the place. He was always happy to meet me at the times/days I requested. We had to catch a ferry and it was prebooked, Eric was very flexible and allowed for plenty of time to arrive at our home for us at arrive back so we did not have to worry about the dogs being alone. During his stay, Eric made sure that the dogs were walked and properly attended to. One of our dogs requires daily medication and Eric did a great job with that. One of our boys was a bit whiny during the stay and we had a chat about it, Eric solved the problem during his stay. One the day we came home, Eric offered to launder the sheet and towels which was a such a relief to me a I had so much to do when I got home. One of the best things that Eric did was take our dogs for one last walk right before we came home so that we did not have to attend to them after our long journey. When we got home, our house was clean, our dogs were happy and tired and we were extremely pleased. Be sure to book Eric if he enquires about your listing!

The house sitter that is also a jack of all trades, master of many. Main focus.
Pearl was a good pet sitter. She kept us up to date on her arrival and departure, as well as updates on our cat, with photos! She was quick to respond, and left the place exactly as it was left.

We love animals and we love to travel!
Jennifer & Cendy really above and beyond. First, they organized a group chat to stay in touch and sent tons of videos and photos throughout our weekend away. Then, we got delayed in our return because of flight cancellations and a big storm. They offered to stay an extra night w our dog and cat. I dont think I’d have been able to get to sleep without their flexibility and kindness. Amazing people who you should definitely invite to stay.

Peter was a great sitter! Our dog and cat were very happy during his stay. Peter was also very communicative and flexible with his schedule, and left the house spotless. We will definitely have him stay again!

I went overseas for a week and was a bit nervous to leave my dog for so long. Zoe was perfect and put me at ease. She was on time and easy to schedule with; she kept my home tidy and kept Kinoko fully entertained and cared for. definitely recommend her! 💜🐶

Abigail was kind and communicative the whole time, and Lucy looked happy and healthy when I got home (to a clean apartment, too!). Can't wait to have her come sit again for us :)
Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
I had the pleasure of having Tracey and her two children as house sitters, and I can't praise them enough for the incredible job they did. From the moment they stepped into our home, it was evident that they were dedicated, caring, and attentive to every detail. First and foremost, Tracey's approach to caring for our house and our beloved pets was nothing short of excellent. She has an innate ability to connect with animals, and it was clear from the daily updates and photos that our pets were happy and thoroughly pampered. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and they treated it with the utmost respect as if it was their own. Moreover, Tracey demonstrated remarkable responsibility and initiative when our AC system unexpectedly broke down. Without hesitation, she arranged for an HVAC company to come and fix the issue, taking time from her day to ensure our home was taken care of. Her willingness to front the repair costs until I could reimburse her was an act of kindness and trust that you rarely see. Tracey and her children's thoughtfulness and thoroughness provided me with peace of mind during my time away, which is priceless. I returned to a home that was just as I left it, if not better. Their stay was characterized by an extraordinary level of care and I was particularly impressed by how they left the house in perfect condition, with happy pets to welcome me back. I wholeheartedly recommend Tracey to any future hosts. Her reliability, compassion, and the ability to handle unexpected situations with grace are commendable. I would welcome Tracey and her children back to house sit in a heartbeat – they are exactly the kind of house sitters that one hopes for on this site! Thank you, Tracey, for everything. You and your children are welcome back anytime!
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.
Laura was an exceptional, reliable, and loving sitter for our goldendoodle Scout, and took such good care of our home! Scout was excited to meet Laura immediately when she arrived at our home for this sit, and showered Laura with all the hugs and kisses. Scout has recently been having issues with seizures, so for this sit I was specifically looking for a sitter who had a depth of experience with giving medication and responding calmly in the event of an emergency. It was a big relief to be able to entrust Scout to Laura's capable and kind hands, and it was extra special that Laura's beloved vizsla had shared the same name. Laura is wonderfully easy to communicate and coordinate with, and was thorough in her care of our home. We came back to our garden looking great, house left in even better shape than I left it to Laura, and a very happy Scout! I cannot overstate how much we appreciated Laura's care for Scout and our home, and heartily recommend her as a pet and house sitter. If you're lucky enough to get on Laura's schedule, your pups will be with the most wonderful stand-in dog mom you could have hoped for!
Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home :) We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there! They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.
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!
Lyndsey and Jordan were wonderful pet sitters and house guests. They kept us informed of how our pets were doing and went above and beyond to care for them. We felt entirely comfortable leaving our home and pets in their hands and arrived home to find everything tidy and the pets well cared for. We would absolutely have them sit again if the need arose.
Toby and we were SO lucky to have Tom be our home and pet sitter for our Thanksgiving Holiday trip! From the very beginning Tom was responsive and communicative. He was even able to arrange a "meet and greet" with us and Toby before beginning his stay. While here Tom took great care of our home, and, most importantly, provided wonderful care of Toby! When we got home everything was in perfect order and we could tell that even though Toby was happy to see us he was going to miss Tom. I would be thrilled if we could have Tom as our zeewoi again. You will be lucky if he can do the same for you. :)
5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith
Tom was the PERFECT pet and house sitter. I went out of town for a while after my dad passed, and I had a few pet sitters bail before he came in for the rescue. He cleaned up the messes and I came home to a clean house and VERY happy babies! My two dogs LOVED him. He is extremely reliable, clean, trustworthy and was incredibly caring to my dogs. I would have him back ANYTIME and HIGHLY recommend him!!

Susan has done a great job with my Shiloh not only teaching him commands/listening skills, but also socializing him with other dogs and cats. She truly cares about the animals she trains and cares for. Her breadth and depth of knowledge about animals is remarkable! The advice she has given me has been most helpful with Rebel. I recommend A Pawsitive Experience without hesitation!
Susan has helped our family by teaching us how to understand our dogs' needs and behaviors. She quickly identified some areas we, as pet owners, needed to improve and gave us the tools to reinforce the good behavior we wanted to see from the pups. I appreciate her eye for detail and way of breaking down lessons into digestible parts. Our training sessions built up on the successes of previous sessions and the feedback we received was in line with our self reflection; praise for improvements made and tips for shoring up areas of struggle. We have a more peaceful home, with 2 pups and 2 young kids, now that we have the knowledge to set behavioral expectations for the dogs and the confidence to put our training exercises into practice. Thank you, Susan! I highly recommend her services to anyone serious about helping their good boys become great boys.
Susan is truly fantastic, no other way to describe her. From personal experience A Pawsitive Experience with Susan is the only place I would trust to bring my dog for day care and for longer stays. One can leave his/her dog and know that their pup will be in good hands and have the time of their life. Additionally, she will keep you updated on how your pup is doing and is very transparent and honest!!!!! I left Leo with Susan for three months and not only has Leo gotten super responsive and calmer. Highly, HIGHLY recommend! Truly understands dogs, owners and the importance of training for building a loving relationship between the two.
My husband and I have a very energetic 14 month old Border Collie - Susan was recommended to us by friends, and I can say that he is a totally new dog after going through the PAWS program! He is so much calmer and he has learned so many new skills. He doesn't bolt out the door like he used to, now he knows to wait for us to give him permission. Susan taught us how to handle him better as well, which has turned us into better dog owners! We are both impressed with Susan's knowledge base, and we have seen significant improvements in our dog's behavior. I highly recommend Susan for both training needs and boarding! We will continue to take our dog to Susan once a week so that he can continue to work on his skills. We are so happy with our investment, and can definitely say we had such a "pawsitive" experience with using Susan as our trainer!
If you’re looking for a great place for your canine family member I highly recommend Pawsitive. Susan has helped my Chocolate Girl Sophia learn how to overcome her anxiety issues. After only 3 weeks of daycare as well as a few nights of boarding, Sophie has become more confident and less anxious. She loves the other dogs.I feel good about the fact that Susan assesses all the dogs to be sure they are a good fit . When Sophie stayed for boarding she was in a home environment and became one of Susan’s family. I love that Sophie is so happy to go to daycare and that she’s tired from a day of play when she comes home. Pawsitive is not only Susan’s business but also her passion. She truly loves what she does and it shows.
When I got my golden retriever puppy he was a hot mess and I knew he needed to be trained. A co-worker recommended Susan and I'm so glad she did. Since completing her puppy course, my puppy has completely changed. Susan created a program that was specifically catered to him and what he needed. While providing consistency and structure she gave him love and praise. Since I live a bit far, I left my puppy boarded there. Throughout the entire process, she communicated about his progress, how he was doing and his overall growth. She reassured me he was having fun and enjoying his stay. Without Susan I would have been lost when it came to my new puppy. I HIGHLY recommend her and her services. She's very knowledgeable. My dog was always happy when he was under her care.
Susan is an angel in disguise! As a new dog owner and long time animal lover I knew very little about how to care for my 7 year old English Yellow Labrador who came to me after having 5 litters at a breeding kennel. Susan knew exactly what my girl needed!!! She offered her love, structure, consistency, and new friends. Honestly she offered her a 2nd home! Susan has also shared so much advice and help with the little challenges I never saw coming... I’m sure there will be more of these and it’s comforting to know that Susan will always take the time to help me figure these things out. Susan keeps the best interest of the dogs in her care in mind at all times. She individualizes her care based on what that particular dog needs. My dog is always happy upon her arrival to daycare. Susan has amazing hours and is a great communicator so if I have asked for some flexibility she has always been able to accommodate my dog. Any dog young, old or in between would be lucky to be a part of the A Pawsitive Experience family! I strongly endorse Susan, her work/business and the environment she provides for the dogs!!!
We fully trust Susan with our 8 month old great Dane, Margaret. We did the 4 week PAWS program and saw a big improvement in our puppy's obedience. Great Danes are known for being picky when it comes to training and the job Susan did was remarkable. Susan not only is great at correcting the puppy's behavior, she's great at correcting the human behaviors that help with a dogs development. Go Bills.
I enrolled my 4 month old lab shepherd mix in the 4 week long PAWS program. Since my puppy was a rescue, he was initially very nervous around new people and other dogs. Susan did an excellent job of socializing him and helping him become the confident pup that he his today. In addition to this change of behavior, Susan was great to work with and showed me many helpful tips on how to handle unfamiliar situations that come along with being a first time dog owner. This program was extremely helpful and I would highly recommend it to anyone with a new puppy!
I have been entrusting my dogs to Susan at A Pawsitive Experience since 2007, so when I was finally ready for a puppy I knew there was nowhere else that I wanted to take him for training and daycare! I enrolled him in the PAWS program (5 days a week for 4 weeks), and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. Susan’s positive approach to training is amazing, and both Arlo and I learned a lot – she trains the person as well as the dog 😊. From day one he was exposed to dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages, as well as cats. And he was subjected to “real life” experiences (doorbells, deliveries, people he didn’t know, etc.) which helped him learn how to cope with them. I still take him to daycare twice a week, and I know that he is safe and happy and well taken care of. I can’t say enough good things about Susan - I would highly recommend A Pawsitive Experience to anyone who needs training, daycare, or boarding!
