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
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
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
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.

There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....

Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Heather
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.

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.

Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Carrie
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Inma
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Phyllis and Alan
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
JANELL
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.

Our Belgian Malinois Zeus completed the 3 week board training program and came back home with obedience skills well beyond our expectations! Neighbors, friends, family and even strangers are “wow’d” by his obedience level and focus! Aside from that, he has been more pleasurable to have inside and out of the house without having him attached to a lead or leash all the time any more. We can’t thank Steve, Joellen and they’re kids enough for taking Zeus into their home and working with him through his transformation! 10/10 recommend Cross Rifle K9 training!
Cross Rifle K9 has been boarding our German Shepherd Isaiah, for over a year. Steve and Jolene are amazing with Isaiah. Isaiah is a strong will 2 year old German Shepherd, but as soon as he is in their presents with their kids he turns into this dog that wants to listen to their every command! Their interaction with Isaiah and the love they show him is a beautiful blessing. Isaiah is now with Cross Rifle K9 for a 3 week board and train. Isaiah has been with them for 1 day! Isaiah has learned more in 1 day; than he learned in 2 weeks with his previous trainers at a cost of 3000.00 for the 2 weeks training. If you’re looking for a trainer that will love your dog like their own, Cross Rifle K9 is your Trainer Period! They are amazing people with a loving heart for every pet they service! Thank you, Steve and Jolene for making the difference that nobody else could! You guys Rock… 😉💕
The Gowings are such a beautiful family! I’ve boarded my German Shepherd, Grigio, with them many times and I wouldn’t leave him with anyone else! Grigio also did a three week board and train with the Gowings and it was a game changer! He walks beautifully on leash now, doesn’t jump up and I can take him to the local battlefields and play fetch with him without having to worry about him running away! Every time I bring Grigio to Cross Rifle K9 for boarding, he gets so excited to see them again; I have a hard time getting him out of the car in a calm manner! The Gowings were also a huge help to me over this summer. My father was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer very suddenly. The Gowings took Grigio for me without any hesitation and cared for him while my father was so sick. They always treat Grigio like family and I’m so thankful to be able to board Grigio with them!
I highly recommend the board and train services offered by Cross Rifle k9, dog trainer and their family. My 6-month-old puppy came home well-trained and displayed impressive obedience skills right from the start. The trainer skillfully addressed my puppy's car anxiety, making car rides stress-free. Training took place in a family environment, ensuring my puppy learned to adapt in various social settings. The continuous support, guidance, and genuinely kind nature of the trainer and their family made the entire experience enjoyable. Don't hesitate to choose this outstanding team for your dog's training needs.
I am so thankful for Cross Rifle K9! I have an anxious cattle dog and they are wonderful with him! He started off nervous to stay for the day, but it didn't take long for him to love it at their kennel. The dog space is so clean! I appreciate that my pup has his own space when he stays with them, has a great yard to play in with supervised play time. Steve and Joellen are friendly and they have been so helpful and encouraging with my dog training questions. My pup LOVES them!
Cross Rifle K9 was absolutely wonderful with our two pups. One of them who is especially anxious with new places. The kennels are really clean and they have great yard space. Will definitely recommend them and will be boarding with them in the future!
Our pup, Stella, stayed here while we were on vacation. I was somewhat nervous because we had never left Stella with anyone before and she is used to having us home all the time. I shouldn't have worried. Stella had a great week. We got texts, emails, and photos to let us know she was doing well, and when we picked her up she was obviously healthy and happy. I definitely recommend Cross Rifle K9 and we will use them the next time we need boarding services.
We boarded our pitty and Doberman here on such short notice for a weekend. Cross Rifle K9 was very accommodating and took my babies in no problem. We had no problems and look forward to boarding with them again and maybe even doing a board and train soon!
I can not say enough positive things about Steve and his wife. They are absolutely incredible to work with. They treat my dog like he’s one of their own. Otis gets so excited to see them each and every time. Otis has done board and train, daycare and overnight boarding. I would not trust anyone else with my dogs. Otis gets so excited to see them when we get there he tries to climb over me to get out of the car first, he wouldn’t be this excited if they didn’t treat him so well. Cross Rifle K9 is absolutely amazing, they are professional, caring, understanding, and accommodating. I would recommend them to anyone who needed any kind of care for their dog and will continue to use them to care for mine
We had a wonderful experience with Cross Rifle K9. We boarded our two dogs with them when we went on vacation. The dogs were well taken care of and I would certainly recommend them to others. We will be booking with them again for our next vacation.

I’ve always had a great experience there. Got a sweet six-year-old female German Shepherd there today.❤️
Janis is like a second mother for our 2 year old GSD. Whenever we have to go out and Archie can't travel with us, we feel confident that Archie is safe and happy at his second home.
I trust Janis with my fur baby. She is very knowledgeable on dogs, really all animals! My girl loves coming to see her. I would highly recommend.
We’ve been using Highland Oaks for over 10 years. Nearly my entire neighborhood uses this Kennel. I cannot recommend Janice (sp?) more! Absolutely amazing.
Janis is wonderful with dogs. Her decades of experience clearly shows with the way she handles all the different types of dogs that she cares for. Highly recommended!
Janice is a friend of ours and she also takes care of our two dogs when we travel. We will continue to take our dogs there because of the care and attention they get from Janice.
I highly recommend Highland Oaks. I would never leave my precious pup with anyone else other then Janice.
Great place to board your dog. Owner is very nice and friendly.
Wonderful location for boarding! The owner takes a special interest to make sure your pet is happy.
What a lovely place for your dog to hang out while you're on vacation! Great home away from home!!

Nathan is amazing!! My dog is not other dog friendly and I’ve never entrusted someone before to walk him. Nathan though is a true professional! My dog is very comfortable with him and looks forward to his walk.
Nathan has been pet-sitting my two house cats for at least a year. He's reliable, trustworthy, and loves the pets. I can see how much they love him, too. It's in the pictures he sends! I travel a lot for work. Even with short notice, he schedules my cats in! Nathan makes his services affordable. It's wonderful to have a person with a service that cares that much!
Nathan is fantastic. We have a mini golden doodle who is our fur baby. We just have such a hard time leaving her. She has been to Nathan’s five times during the day due to work around the house. He has also watched her for a short two day and two night trip. He sent us updates and pictures. We are so thankful we found him. Highly recommend
Nathan is great. You can tell he genuinly Loves dogs. He has taken care of our Lexi several times when we travel and is so competent. Highly recommended.
Nathan was great with my Dalmatian, Niko. We did a test night before I took a 10 day trip to see family back in WI. I was pleasantly surprised how well things went that first overnight because Niko can be wary of strangers and this was the first time I'd be leaving him in the care of someone else. Those 10 days were stress free because I knew Niko was content and in good hands with Nathan. Nathan also helped me out by bringing Niko to the vet to get neutered and restraining him for the sedation!
Nathan has taken extra special care of our Golden "Honey" for over a year whenever we are out of town. Honey adores him & will often lay at the gate when she comes home just hoping Nathan will be back! Nathan is kind, reliable, trustworthy & truly loves dogs 🐾 …
Nathan does a wonderful job taking care of our dog! He's super friendly and has a passion for taking care of animals.
Angus has been going to Nathan’s for over a year now and he loves it. In the morning when I say “ready to go see Nathan” the excitement starts and doesn’t end until we are in the driveway and Nathan is getting him out of the car. We couldn’t ask for anyone more wonderful to care for our big guy
Thank you Nathan for watching our dogs. What an amazing job we could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Our babies can't wait to come back to see you!
Nathan is the best at caring for your 4 legged family members!!!! I trust him with our dogs and wouldn't use anyone else!!!
