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

I have taken classes from Theresa Richmond at Mahogany Ridge for over 5 years. Most recently I sent my Wheaten Terrier for some private training. I have always been impressed at the quality of the training in the classes, but WOW the private lessons and board and train were truly fantastic. What a difference! Theresa not only has the touch with dogs, but is able to explain and help their humans! I highly recommend! Fancy says hello in her best ladylike position!
Our 6 month old boxer, Sadie, spent 16 wonderfully productive days at Mahogany Ridge while we went out of town. She did the "Board & Train" program and stayed with Theresa. When we dropped Sadie off, she knew "sit" and that was pretty much it! When we got her back, not only did she look happy & healthy, but she knew all the basic commands (sit, down, come, stay, off)... and also had been taught good manners such as no jumping, not pulling on the leash, staying off the counters/couches, sitting for her food and at the door. We were amazed!! The fact that Theresa keeps the dogs in her house with her is a huge bonus, and allows them so much more time to learn. They learn how to behave IN a house setting... which is a big advantage once you bring them home. Theresa kept in touch with us via phone/email/pictures almost every day. We can't thank Theresa enough for all the love and attention she gave to Sadie. She came back a better version of herself, which is exactly what we wanted. We will be sending Sadie back for boarding every chance we get!
I was pretty nervous to send my fist dog away to board and train, but I couldn't be happier to have sent him to Mahogany Ridge. Theresa put me at ease from our very first conversation - I could immediately tell that she is not only a skilled trainer, but cares deeply about the dogs in her care. My puppy went to Mahogany Ridge as a wild child and returned home with impeccable manners and confidence that I didn't think would be possible to learn in two weeks' time. With the board and train program, Otto was not only taught basic commands and leash etiquette but gained confidence in day to day activities such as riding in the car, visiting other people's homes, and socializing with other dogs. Plus, Theresa shared photos and videos everyday which made the two weeks without Otto more bearable. Since bringing Otto home, almost every sticking point we had before his board and train has been resolved (follows commands, doesn't cry when I leave the apartment, walks on my left/doesn't pull, and doesn't bark at other dogs). If you are considering a dog trainer, look no further than Mahogany Ridge!
Theresa is one of the best dog trainers I know. She was able to get my dog Booker, to learn when no one else could. Not only did she train my dog, but she was able to help train me to be a better dog owner. You can really tell that she loves what she does and has such an awesome connection with all animals. I can't say enough good things about her and Mahogany Ridge.
Our dog Riley has stayed with and done training Theresa many times. He comes home happy but tired...lots of good activities with Theresa. I really can not say enough good things about Theresa and her work with dogs. I am very, very particular in where I board Riley and who does training. There is - quite simply - no one better with dogs than Theresa.
I have had a variety of experiences at Mahogany Ridge with many different dogs. I am in awe of the skills of each staff member and I have learned so much from each one. I am especially impressed with how Theresa goes above and beyond even when it is not convenient. She is there for training and boarding and help with problem solving. I had to be hospitalized unexpectedly several times over the past years and she has instantly taken my service dog to care for her. Even when she was out training I could leave my dog in a crate for her and she took care of her when she got back. She was ready willing and able at a moments notice when I fractured my spine to take my dog for an unknown period of time and keep her working in service mode while I was in the hospital and nursing home for rehab I volunteer to help train service dogs for diabetic children and Theresa has been a great resource and help to me since I am not a professional trainer. Chris was amazing in helping me with calming a nervous dog by showing me the exact spot to massage and he also figured out the problem a service dog was having in a store with sonic pest repellents. The noise was hurting the dog's ears but I could not hear it as it is too high pitched for humans....just designed to keep mice and birds out of the store it also was repulsive to the service dogs. Canine Massage and nose fun along with rally and agility and the kids camps are all wonderful workshops I have attended there over the years. This is a very versatile and professional training facility that any dog would LOVE to visit. I would not say she is a 'know it all" but whatever she does not know...she does know how to find out and she can connect with someone who does know it. I would turn to her for all my canine needs anytime and always. I love Mahogany Ridge!
Mohagany Ridge Dog Training is the top dog training program within 1 hour drive of Spotsylvania county Virginia. I have participated in others over the years. I appreciate the Volhard Method that Theresa teaches. Dog Trainer Theresa Richmond takes training - both dog and human, to a whole new level. My 7 month old Miniature Poodle, Legend☆Skyler and I have completed Living With Your Dog, Part One and have learned so much. Theresa not only completely knows and trains dogs but is clearly a deeply devoted dog advocate. She knows what they are capable of and targets the highest achievement level. From the very beginning she instills confidence and motivation - in dog and human. We are so grateful for having discovered the opportunity to learn under Mohagany Ridge Dog Training and excitedly look forward to continuing our tutelage under Theresa Richmond. I encourage you to research the various programs offered through Mohagany Ridge. Ie daycare, private and group training, workshops and camp sessions. All superior. Thank you for your time reading this review. Theresa readily responds to any questions you may have.
Took our rottie here for Good Citizenship test, obedience training and agility training so far. Awesome trainer, excellent experiences. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their dogs behavior or to increase their bond.
I love training with Theresa and the Mahogany Ridge experience. My dogs (2 GSDs) squeal like stuck pigs when I turn down Turkey Track road because they can't wait to have fun.
My dog and I love Theresa. Her expertise in training and her kind guidance were instrumental in developing a healthy and lovely relationship with my dog.
