Beth and Matthew have been my first house sitters - and I was their first house sit too. Beth and Matthew have been great. I was a little nervous as this was the first time I've the zeewoi platform and service. Beth contacted me to let me know that one of my dogs had a sore on her chest and sent me a video to let me see and decide what to do. We agreed my dog needed to be seen by a vet and within a few hours my dog had antibiotics. Beth even popped into a shop to buy my dog a jumper to wear as the vet had recommended this to stop her scratching the sore. When I got home Beth had washed all their bedding and the house was clean and tidy. Both Beth and Matthew are a lovely couple and I would definitely recommend them both if you are looking for reliable and trustworthy house and pet sitters.
Erica was great! Easy to communicate with and very self -sufficient when we ended up being out of service for several days. Pingo and the house were clearly in good hands, we came back to a spotless house with a freshly made bed and a happy dog. We'd definitely have Erica again!
I am so grateful to Victoria for taking such wonderful care of my elder cats,, Zoe and Mischief, my home and my garden! She stayed in touch, and even sent photos of Zoe and Mischief, which further reassured me that my kitties and my home were in good hands while I was away. In short, I feel lucky to have connected with Victoria through zeewoi, wouldn't hesitate to call on her again, and recommend her without reservation.
This was my first time using zeewoi. Not only did I have to prepare my home for a guest but prepare myself for leaving my boys with someone I had only met through a zoom call. Right away, I was put at ease as Sharon just gravitated right to my boys. She asked questions about info that I had missed in my welcome pack that made me rest assured that she was on the ball. Throughout my trip, Sharon kept in touch with me about how the boys were getting along... I was so relieved hearing that their usual playful selves was apparent. Given that our flight home was going to be late, she insisted on waiting until we were heading out of the airport before leaving the boys with their last walk until we came home. When we walked through our front door, the boys were chilling out, our home was spotless, and she even washed the bedding. I can recommend Sharon with 100% certainty that your pets will be in great hands. Thanks Sharon for everything.
Jaclyn was a wonderful sitter for our dog Tucker! She was always quick to respond to communications, she was easy-going and excited to sit with Tucker, she shared updates (with pictures) while we were away, and she left our house cleaner than when we left - she even ran the dishwasher, which we forgot to do before we left! She and Tucker bonded immediately, and when we returned home it was clear that he had a great time with Jaclyn. We can't recommend her highly enough!
I can’t say enough good things about Felicia! She was willing to come over ahead of time so we could meet her. Lele took an instant liking to her (and I think it was mutual).😁 Felicia showed up on time, checked in on a regular basis while I was away, and sent photos of Lele, too. I tend to over prepare, and Felicia was accepting of that and helped me feel okay about my preparation and absence. I felt very comfortable leaving, knowing the most important thing, Lele, was well taken care of. This is my first time using zeewoi, so I didn’t really know what to expect. Felicia far exceeded all of my hopes and expectations. I would absolutely love to have Felicia come back again!
I am so glad that my cat, Duque, and I met Sharon! She is a wonderful person, very kind with pets, thorough with house care and communicative. Sharon's cleaning (and brownies!) went above and beyond and my cat did not seem to have missed me much when I got home. I recommend Sharon if she applies for your sit and we hope to welcome her back to our home one day.
Julie and Adrian were ideal pet and house sitters. Julie and Damian are very friendly and made sure to go over details and ask questions when they arrived. We came home to very happy and contented pets. Our dog and cat clearly got lots of love and attention (also clear from the great photos that Julie and Adrian sent us). The house was immaculate when we came home. We could not ask for better, more trusted, house sitters.
Although they are experienced pet sitters this was their first sit with zeewoi and they were wonderful. Jyoti (our cat) was completely at ease and spent plenty of time on their laps. The chickens were well looked after and they managed the broody one efficiently. Excellent communication before and during the house sit. They followed our detailed instructions conscientiously and left the house clean and tidy. They cooked a meal for us on our return and we enjoyed getting to know them. We would welcome them back any time and highly recommend them for future sits.
Lea was so wonderful, we highly recommend her. She was friendly and communicative throughout, sending us daily updates and photos. We returned back to a beautifully cleaned house and a very happy cat, we are so grateful- she was an absolute delight
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $29.99 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Our Golden Retriever Loni has such fantastic time over the week with Alex & Alina. Great communication, and lots of photos & videos. I knew Loni was people that understood dogs and also really loved them. Could not recommend them enough.
Fantastic service!!! Easy and fast to communicate, very flexible and accommodating. Our dog loves Doggy Nose Best, you can tell by how excited he gets when we are by the gate. While our doggy is looked after at Doggy Nose Best, we get videos and pictures of how much fun he has. Highly recommend to people who really care about their dogs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for taking such good care of our precious Sofi while we were away. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos on walks. Thank you!
My mini Schnauzer has been going to day care (and also vacationing there while I’m away), for over 1.5 years now. I highly recommend this loving family to take care of your fur baby. Croi absolutely loves it there, he gets super excited when we reach the house as he knows it will be a fun day with lots of exercise, play time and attention. I also get daily photos and videos of him on walks and playing with other dogs, which makes me so happy. They really are his other family and I’ve saved one contact as Mama Croi in my phone, so much love and affection! I just let them know my ETA for drop off and pick up so he’s all ready to go, so easy with excellent communication!
My dog is not the easiest dog to have around but Alex and his family have looked after my boy extremely well. They were kind enough to sent me photos daily of the awesome walks they went on. 10/10 thank you so much.
Alex and Alina are the best! Our dog Phoebe loves staying with them, their dogs are wonderful and get along great and they take such great care of them. They always send us photos and videos so we know how she’s doing ❤️
I can highly recommend this daycare. I have been sending my miniature schnauzer Dora to Alina & Alex since she was a puppy. It's like her second family and Dora really loves them. Plus their Golden retriever Barron was the best baby sitter to Dora when she was a pup. I 100% trust them as they take such great care of her, she is always loved on and protected. I wouldn't just leave her with anyone but I know I can go to work or go away and she will be in the best caring hands. I honestly don't know what I would have done without them. Dora is always so happy to see them because they have such big hearts and are such a lovely family.
Gucci has stayed with Alina and Alex since he was a puppy. They are wonderful people! They always fit gucci in at the last minute! Gucci loves them and their lovely dog! They send daily photos and videos. Very responsive, trustworthy and a Lovely family! Gucci always has the best time!!
I cannot thank enough this lovely family- Alina, Igor, Alex, grandma and grandpa. They treat my Louie with full of love. They care and love my fur baby as much as I do. Louie loves staying with them and their dog, Baron is super friendly. I highly recommend this family!
Alex’s brother Igor was a wonderful dog sitter and helped us tremendously with our dog Balloon. Even though they are located in Auckland he was happy to travel and stay in our house in Jacks Point, Queenstown. He sent us daily updates and was taking our a bit naughty puppy for a walk sometimes 6 times a day 😅 Will definitely use him in future 🥰
Oreo has been going to daycare at Pets in the City Wairau Park for a few months now, and she has the time of her life there. The staff are fantastic and I know they take great care of her while she's In their care. The overnight hotel option is also fantastic for me as a shift worker, and means that my dog is safe and taken care of while I'm away on overnight shifts. Highly recommend anyone looking for doggy daycare and hotel services.
Lovely staff and very welcoming environment! We weren’t sure how our boy Apollo would do on his first day as he’s never attended daycare before, but pets in the city have been amazing with getting him settled and helping him build his confidence. Very easy process with getting registered and always highlight of the day seeing the photos they post to see how he’s doing🤗
Had a day care stay during the week. Staff were great to talk to. Drop off and pickup was efficient. Have a small confident dog but young. He was fine in with other dogs. Place is kept clean and staff genuinely love dogs. They do kennel dogs overnight and rates are reasonable.
I often visit Pets In The City to leave my dog, Queenie, in their care, and I’m consistently impressed by their professionalism. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, always ready to answer my questions with genuine care. Their friendliness creates a welcoming atmosphere, and it’s clear they truly love animals. I have full confidence in returning to this facility, knowing Queenie is in great hands. I’d highly recommend Pets In The City to anyone seeking a reliable and caring place for their pet.
The team are always cheerful and positive when we arrive. Both daycare and overnight stays are enjoyed by my dog. She is always tired and ready for a restful sleep after playing with her doggy friends all day. I love the social skills it's teaching her as well as the exercise she gets.
I was very scared to leave my lil Biscuit at daycare for the first time, but the staff took their time and informed me how everything works, showed me around, and kept me informed about Biscuits progress. And from the lovely pics they post, I could definitely see how happy Biscuit was! Thank you for the Amazing experience, warmth and comfort!
First day for my pup- felt very at ease with the staff and friendliness. mid morning phone call to let me know how he was doing was great and appreciated all the feed back. Hes looking forward to his next visit! Recommend 100%
My dogs love going to Pets in the city Wairau, so much so that they forget to say goodbye to me!
Louis our miniature schnauzer had a great stay for a week. He was well looked after and we could enjoy our holiday without worrying about him. The daily photos on Facebook were great and we could see that he looked happy each day playing with his new friends. The staff were kind and genuinely cared for him. This is his 4th stay and we will definitely be back!
Amazing service , well done Pets in the City Wairau !!!
I have loved working at Pets and Pats. It's heartwarming to work with such adorable little dogs, you create an amazing bond by spending so much time with them. I stopped working a week ago and missed them every day. Another plus is the staff I have met in the 6 months I have worked here, caring people who are always willing to help and lend a hand when you need it, especially if you are from abroad. I made some great friends from all over the world who I will miss very much and would love to see again if this trip brings me back to Auckland.
Absolutely love the friendly team at Pets and Pat! My little pup, Romeo, has been going there for over a year, and he always looks forward to the PupBus coming by in the morning. Romeo is already looking forward to his morning cuddles and kisses from all his friends! Team is very professional and always communicate all so well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Working in Pets and Pats made me feel very grateful, first because I was able to spend so much time with so many doggies, and second because gave me the opportunity to make very good friends while working with the staff members. Also it was very rewarding to see the excitement in the puppies every morning when I had to pick them up, but also see the happiness when they were reunited with the parents in the afternoon.
Pets and Pats are just wonderful! My little Cleo has been going to the farm since she was six months old so the better part of 2 years - we had tried a couple of other daycares before settling for Pets and Pats - They have given Cleo so much confidence, Ang and the team treat her as if she is one of their own but not just when she’s there - When Cleo has been off unwell they would check in on her and drop off care packages making not only her but also me feel cared for and supported. I always know she has the best time while she is there, when she is picked up she is always so excited to go does twirls and squeaks in excitement before bounding out the door and is so worn out when she comes home that she snuggles up on the couch - If your ever considering a daycare for you little fur baby absolutely can’t recommend P&P enough!
I cannot recommend Pets and Pats enough. Being first time fur parents, we care so much about our little Charlie and where he goes. Pets and Pats are constantly AMAZING to deal with. Charlie gets picked up by the "pup bus" which he waits at the door for in the mornings. He gets sooo excited when it arrives - that tells me everything I need to know. He absolutely loves going to the farm as he gets to run around with all his friends. We really like how they categorise dogs in size, age and energy levels so we know Charlie won't be bowled by bigger dogs or step on smaller ones accidentally. The whole team are friendly and really easy to communicate with. I have 100% trust in everyone involved and know Charlie is in safe hands from the moment that he gets picked up, to when he gets back home at the end of the day ❤️
We used Pets and Pats services for over 3 and half years for Mika - our now 4 year old Lagotto. Pets and Pats were very accommodating in that Mika wasn't spayed for the first 18 months, but was still allowed to attend (post a trial period) as long we kept her in at home for the time we was on heat. This pragmatic and professional approach was important to us as a working couple. For over 3 years - Pets and Pats never missed a pickup, and their communication and flexibility when life happened was top notch. They are a very reliable and dependable service.
Absolutely LOVE Pets & Pats Team. They have looked after my two girls for over a year now. The staff are so lovely and the bus drop off is so convenient. Our girls are knackered when they get home (both pointer x that need a lot of exercise!!) The grounds are a dogs paradise and the team absolutely love and care for all the dogs. Owner Ang is lovely and has helped us out when in a major pickle several times!! Our girls have also stayed over weekends many times. Any review which degrades the care or cleanliness of the dogs or property is absolutely rubbish. Our girls come home cleaner than when the left! The property is fully secure and wonderful. I have found no issues with communication with the team - in fact they put up with my slack communication so well. Highly Recommend x Thank you team we are so grateful for your care of our girls x
Pets and Pats is a home away from home for Lilli my wee dog who was welcomed into the family, and I mean into the family in all aspects. She slept with the other treasured dogs inside and the team was happy to accommodate her independent style. I have left Lilli with Pets and Pats since she was born and would not thinking of any other better place. The team care for her every need, food, rugs, grooming and cuddles. I know when I pick her up that she is healthy and happy. I searched for months visiting other places which do not match up to the wonder home with Pets and Pats. Security is big for me and I love that fences and places for all dogs of all sizes to run and play. Pets and Pats the best place ever!
Thank you so much to the Pets & Pats team for looking after our little boy. He absolutely loves Pets & Pats and is so ecstatic every time the Pup Bus comes to pick him up! We honestly couldn’t speak more highly of Pets & Pats. We recommend it to anyone with a loved pooch who is considering a day care. Here is wee Bohdi having fun out on the farm, having the freedom to run about and get as muddy as he likes!! (Because the wonderful Pets & Pats team clean him up before dropping him back home). The best day care ever!
If there was a Disneyland for dogs, Pets and Pats would be it. 😊 This is an awesome place where every pup is a four-legged family member. Angela, Jason and the Pets & Pats team are very caring and professional and absolutely always do their best for each of the dogs entrusted to their care both day care and lodging.
Maya from PCAT looked after my elderly dog, 16 year old cat, and disabled rabbit the other weekend. Being a vet nurse myself, I am very cautious when it comes to trusting someone with my pets. However, I was not only comfortable, but my pets received the best care. From my dog receiving his daily medication, the cat being allowed to sleep in Maya's bed, to my rabbit getting his much anticipated bedtime treat. An all round awesome experience for all ❤️🐾
Lauren from PCAT enjoys being with your pet as they do with Lauren. She is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and will go the extra mile for your animals and their well-being.
I can always rely on Lauren to give me sound advice and many other services though PCAT. Highly recommended!!
Wouldn't trust anyone else to look after my pets! Can't recommend Lauren enough!
Millie adores her time in day care through the week, but this weekend she had the extra special treat of staying with one of the awesome staff on their farm while I celebrated my birthday. I'm not entirely sure she was thrilled about coming home to be honest! I'll work through my separation anxiety 😉 she has been very snuggly and sleepy today, absolutely shattered!
Our puppy always has a wonderful time and comes home exhausted. Staff are friendly and post lots of photos.
Great staff, great environment. Our dog totally loves going. I highly recommend DogHQ to anyone looking for some socialization or daycare for thier pup 😀 …
Great staff, they really care and look after the dogs. Been bringing my puppy there since she was really young and she is well socialised. They put out the doggy pool sometimes and also blow bubbles for the dogs to play.
Bernie absolutely loves going to Dog HQ. When we drop him off in the morning he flys in the door he’s so excited. When we pick him up he tells us all about the fun times he had with his friends. Lovely staff and the daily photos on Facebook and instagram are a lovely touch. Would absolutely recommend sending your dogs here. 10/10
We take our dog here every week and it puts our mind at ease that he can have a full day of interactions with other dogs in a safe environment.
Not impressed by this daycare, unsure if they actually look after your dog or just put them all in a room and leave them all day, taking sporadic photos to make it look like they’re with them. My dog has gotten kennel cough twice since being there and comes home stinking of urine like she’s been rolling in it all day.
Great place for dog day care. I have been using Dog HQ services for near on 9 years now and have never had anything to complain of. Both my dogs love their visits.
Penny loves having her time at DHQ. She comes home happy and can’t contain herself when sh is dropped off in the mornings... sh is so happy. Great way for her to socialise
Trainers are great they care about the welfare of your animal and are very knowledgeable
