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.
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 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!
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 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 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 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!
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 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 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.

I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
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.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.

Jeremy is a great pet-sitter! His professionalism and love of animals are felt from the first contact. Thanks to him, my four-legged companion benefited from impeccable attention and care, whether at home or during his trips in an animal taxi. Real serenity for animal owners who seek the best for their companions. My dog has loved being with Jeremy for over 2 years. I highly recommend!
It's always a pleasure to know that your dog is pampered and that he thrives in the company of his current peers. Mélanie is the perfect person to ensure that the holidays of the owners of these doggies go smoothly. We are extremely happy to receive daily news either through a simple message, photos or video. How lucky to have found such a dog boarding facility!
First time that Maestro, my 7 year old cocker spaniel, has joined a dog boarding facility. I was able to see the seriousness of this family pension from the first contact with Melanie: legitimate and reassuring requirements: up-to-date vaccinations, chipping, up-to-date anti-parasite treatments, neutered dogs. After a first presentation, an integration day is scheduled to observe Maestro's behavior with his peers, the cats in the house and people. Valid ! (At home I have 1 cat who plays with my dog so no surprise on his part towards Mélanie's cats). Then the big day arrives: personal basket, kibble, small treats, veterinary passport harness, engraved medal Grooming, my little one is ready! I'm going on vacation in peace because 2 very clean rooms in the house are reserved for the dogs (no wire box!), they live together with large bowls of water which receive a handful of ice cubes if a heatwave and even an ice cream served for refresh them! - don't ask me what flavor it is, I don't have a taste for it! Small secure garden: mowed (to avoid spikelets) and fenced. The best is yet to come: Mélanie takes the small team (her 2 personal dogs + the 5 holiday dogs in a van and off they go for a free walk (closely supervised) in the woods or along the Gardon, with a lanyard for the newcomers. What joy! Sport and morale at their peak for our doggies. The dog training area is also a great leisure destination (Mélanie is a qualified professional). of cyno accomplices: in the evening, after a beautiful day of vacation abroad I impatiently connect to my phone: Mélanie regularly sends several photos of my darling during her activities accompanied by a comment which allows me to see that she is observant and honest: yes, it's true that Maestro can have a temporary bout of the blues the first 2 days and yes, it's absolutely true that he is extremely happy as soon as a small treat is offered or the word walk is mentioned and that the harnesses are fixed. This stay at Cyno Complices is a great experience for him as for me: autonomy, games, socialization for him, confidence and comfort for me during my vacation where the presence of an animal was not authorized. Thank you Mélanie for your professionalism and kindness. Odile CARTON. ALES
Good morning, If you are looking for a family pension around Ales, you are in the right place 😊 We have entrusted our 2 Beaucerons to Mélanie on several occasions, and we are delighted. The dogs are in a colony while we are away, with daily walks, games and treats... In addition, we regularly receive photos and videos during custody, which is really pleasant. Mélanie is available and listens to them, she also advises us on all daily subjects 👍 THANKS See you soon Dina and François
First time leaving our dog with a little apprehension. But everything went very well, Mélanie is very professional and committed. Our dog benefited from activities and walks several times a day in the company of other dog friends. We were sent photos and videos every day Mélanie did a wonderful job!!!
🧡 Mélanie is a magnificent dog trainer! 🐾 She has been a great help to us with our dog, Willow. We have seen positive changes in Willow's behavior and are very happy to have found Melanie! Willow is always happy to see her and spend time with her and the other dogs, for example during group hikes! She remains our best reference in terms of boarding and dog training. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
At the top 👍 Mélanie is passionate. She likes dogs. She takes care of it. Whether physically but also morally. Every time my dog is happy to go to her kennel. And that’s reassuring. I recommend 100% A big thank you for all the affection you give him during each stay.
We entrusted our Australian Shepherd to Mélanie for 3 and 15 days after a one-day adaptation. On the program 2 walks per day, games, brushing sessions, without forgetting the caresses and for us photo reports to share with us the anecdotes of the stay 😉 In short, a real colony rich in activities and attention, which has become home our doggie's vacation. Thanks again to Mélanie for her professionalism and the passion that drives her.
This is the 3rd time that we have left our doggie boarding with Mélanie, we still really appreciate the daily walks and the regular news that we receive. Very professional and caring welcome, we can leave our dog with complete confidence.
I don't regret having called on cyno accomplices!!! Mélanie is a patient and committed person who was able to explain and give me the basics of dog training. She is very gentle with my chihuahua Taylor and this has allowed us to make real progress. It is based on the dog's feelings to focus the sessions and the workplace!!! Really great!!!!! I highly recommend
A top pension! I will trust my little one again with my eyes closed, Mélanie is kind and patient. We enjoyed the news and photos every day, it was the first time and it reassured us. Oria really enjoyed the swims, the walks...and the sofa too 😄 Thank you very much Mélanie 😊 …
Aurelie's family pension is a second home for our dog. Long morning walks in the mountains, a large outdoor and indoor space, everything is done to make our 4-legged friends feel good!!! Every day we receive a message with photos to give us a little report of the day. Thank you with all my heart Aurelie for your kindness, your sympathy and your professionalism. We recommend this pension to anyone looking for a place to leave their dog with complete confidence!!!! Marjorie, Cedric and Spud :)
I entrust my dog to Aurelie with complete confidence, he is right at home with the addition of very beautiful walks that he loves!!! my dog is happy to go back...and we appreciate Aurélie for her kindness and her love of animals...
For our first babysitting experience we found an extraordinary pension. Aurelie is extremely kind and, through her experience, she knows how to quickly make dogs her friends. Every morning the animals are entitled to a walk in the forest and every evening we are entitled to a report of the day with photos. I recommend without any hesitation THANKS Tilou
a first separation for us and Thylie. with complete confidence from the first contact with Aurélie. a life like at home for our "Frog" accustomed to long walks in freedom. 4-legged friends, here they are. the good care and attention of an exceptional “nanny”. Thank you Aurélie 💝🐾
It was the first time we took our dog Alba to a boarding facility. Alba is used to a lot of freedom at home in the Hautes Cévennes. She doesn't like the noise, the engines and the hustle and bustle of a city. She's afraid of that. We thought it would be better if she didn't go on vacation to Italy (with pain in her heart). This is why we had visited several guest houses. We immediately had a good feeling about Aurélie. And it had become reality. More! …. What a beautiful guest house. Great walks every day, playing with other dogs and being part of the family. But more than all the love that Aurélie gives to dogs (and especially to Alba) is wonderful, we are very grateful to her. We recommend this guest house….. and Alba will come back with great pleasure.
I recommend this pension with my eyes closed! I know that my Théo was in good hands because Aurélie is very professional and super kind, you can feel her love for dogs. I will use this dog boarding facility for the next time without hesitation. 🐶 …
Delighted to have found this family pension for our 2 dogs! Everything is done for the well-being of the dogs. They were like home! Caresses, games and walks on the program! Aurélie is very attentive and gave us news every day! Reservation made for 2 weeks next August! You can trust him with your eyes closed! We recommend 1000%
A wonderful pension! It's like at home (no box, access to the garden, living in the house with a long daily walk in nature). Aurélie takes great care of our animals, our two dogs had a great weekend and we are delighted to have found a trustworthy person to take care of our little ones during our vacation! Thanks for everything!
Very positive contact with Aurélie! A place that allows for rapid adaptation and my little Jack Emy was pampered like a baby. Photos every day, long walks every day too. Aurélie is very attentive to diet in the event that there is a drop in appetite due to the change. In short, I'm very happy because I got Emy back in great shape. I trust for next time.
Lots of warmth in this house., I recommend 😍😍😍😍this establishment which shows a lot of humanity for both the dogs and their owners. Thank you Aurelie😋 You are wonderful …
