Rose
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
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.

Jordan & Nataki
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
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!

Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.

Hannah
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
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 & Thomas
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
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!

Courtenay
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
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 & Susan
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.

This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Oliver
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.

Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.

Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.

Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Carol
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
Kathleen
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Paige
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
Jim
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim

Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!

I hired Rachel to care for one cat, several tanks of fish, and my houseplants while I was away for several weeks. She visited prior to meet my cat and to see how to care for the fish and plants. My cat doesn’t warm up to strangers very quickly but she was all over Rachel almost immediately. Rachel did an excellent job. She sent multiple beautiful photos of my cat, Marie, playing happily every day, sent a photo when a sensor I had on one of the tanks was indicating a warning so that I could tell her how to fix it, and, though she said she isn’t a pro at caring for plants, even all of the plants looked great when I got back. I’m very happy to have Rachel to care for my pets when needed and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.
Rachel has been so amazing with walking my dog Betty! She always shows up in the promised/scheduled time frame and the fact that I get pictures while they are out on their walk is the best added touch! Will definitely be recommending her to anyone looking for a dog walker/pet sitter!!
We recently had the pleasure of Animlz providing both check-in & overnight services for our one fat cat & we (and the cat) were so pleased! Both Rachel & Luke first offered their time for a fun meet & greet to get to know our furry fella & to learn all the specific ins & outs of his routine. Being out of state twice, once for a weekend & then for a full week, & having them take care of our little friend was so reassuring with their regular updates & such great pictures! Our little guy seemed to especially be enjoying all the physical playtime activity that Rachel & Luke initiated with his favorite toys. We will definitely be using them for all of our petsitting needs in the future. Thank you again Rachel & Luke, we are so appreciative of all you do!
As a retired pet sitter , I knew exactly who I was looking for. Rachel and Luke fit right in with our demanding dogs and birds. My pets were happy and relaxed when we returned home. We will definitely use her service again.
Rachel is the best. My anxious dogs loved her the first time they met her and she has been so wonderful. She’s reliable, communicative, fairly priced and is there when we need her. Having her watch our dogs has been a Godsend for us and I feel really good knowing my dogs love playing with her. I can’t say enough good things. She and her company are 5-star amazing and we are so happy to have found her. 10/10 recommend with no reservations.
What a fantastic friend for our pooch (and on occasion our cats)! Rachel is one of those folks that is able to immediately establish a rapport with our furry family members. Our Pit Bull adores her and treats her like a family member whenever she comes by. We are so glad to have found Animlz! It's a comfort to know there is someone out there we can entrust the care of our dog buddy to without reservation or hesitation!
We had an awesome pet sitter at our old house, so when we moved to the country from Maryland, I was a little anxious that we would be able to find someone who would take as good of care of our cats and chickens. Then I met Rachel and within just a few minutes, I knew our pets would be in the best hands possible while we travel. She asked all of the right questions about their care and feeding, I felt very confident she would take good care of them in our absence. We just got back from a two week trip to hike the Alps- the longest we have ever been away from our pets- but I knew all would be well when we returned, and it was. Rachel is fantastic and I highly recommend her for her dedication, concern, and attention to detail. Even better? She sends the best animal portraits and videos every time she visits! I feel so connected to our pets while we travel because of her regular communication and I know when we return, the house and coop will be spotless and the cats and chickens will almost be sorry we are home. :) If you love your pets like we do and want them to receive the best care while you travel, reach out to Rachel. I guarantee you will be thrilled with her services.
At our first introductory meeting with Rachel, my dogs were so excited to meet her and loved her right away. In the time since, we use Animlz every week, whether it’s a midday dog walk or up to four times a day when we’re on travel. We trust Animlz to take care of our dogs and our home and the pooches are always happy to see her!
They did a great job caring for my 9 cats and kittens while I was away. They kept me updated on the little ones and even got some of the cutest pictures and videos. I would highly recommend them.
Rachel & her team are awesome! We needed to find a new sitter for our dogs, cat & chickens - Rachel and her crew take the time to learn about your pets and ask the right questions to make sure they get the best care possible. We've used Animlz for both potty breaks & overnights, and have been very happy each time. Thank you so much, Rachel & Luke!

Della and Applewood are the best! Today I picked up my dog, he has stayed there four times in the last few months. I've taken advantage of their excellent grooming services and had to request a picture or two when we were away multiple days and missed him. Everything is reasonably priced and well organized (the check in and out process takes seconds, you'll see). Lastly, the best compliment that can be made is--my dog hops out of the car when I drop him off and energetically pulls me into the building (enough said).
We had a great experience with boarding our German Shepherd at Applewood Kennels. They took great care of him and went the extra mile to give him some chew treats to help with his anxiety (he was there for an extended stay). We got text updates and pictures from them while we were gone. They were kind, patient and understanding to his care and needs. We will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!!! Thank you so much Applewood Kennels! :)
We recently boarded our dog, Tank, at Applewood Farms & Kennels, for several days, and are extremely happy with our experience! We found the kennels to be very clean and loved that Tank had space connected to an outside run. Della was great to work with and answered all of our questions along the way. Tank even got extra love from her family during his time there which means a lot to our family (since he’s used to kids loving on him). We will definitely be taking him back to board there in the future. Thank you!!
Applewood is a fantastic kennel. The facility is clean and spacious. Della is very friendly and exceptionally kind to our dog. We're very happy to have found such a great kennel for when we need to board our pet. Highly recommended.
I heartily recommend Applewood! Clean, well maintained, attentive to our dog's needs. Della kept us updated with texts and photos of our Labrador "Gus" who had a blast during his stay. We will definitely leave Gus in their capable hands whenever the need arises.
We have used Applewood twice now. The facility is extremely clean. The staff is fantastic and friendly. Della went out of her way to us during a “Moving of homes” during Christmas week by keeping our babies. I would highly recommend to everyone.
Applewood Farm is now my pups favorite place to go while I am away!! Della is always extremely accommodating and goes above and beyond with the care of my fur babies to make sure they are comfortable. One of my dogs tends to be anxious in new places, but almost immediately warmed up to Della which solidified my love for her business. I can’t put into words how much I appreciate her taking great care of my pups.
I can’t recommend Applewood enough!! We have been taking our pugs there for a few months and we absolutely love it! Della and her entire family have been so welcoming to us and our pugs. It has been such a blessing to be able to drop them off while we are at work and know they are safe and happy.
Toured the kennel. It was spotlessly clean with no unpleasant odors. The staff was knowledgeable and pleasant. The animals seemed happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using this facility for our dogs in the New Year!
I hate to only give them four stars but we haven't yet used their boarding services, just had a partial grooming for our dog and he didn't cooperate. But it's a home based business and they're very friendly and very affordable. : )
