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.

Rachael
Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Hannah
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Francisco
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.

Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Thea
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Marcia
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
Stacey
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!
Clare
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Katie
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!

I highly recommend Watch Dog Animal Care! Dana exceeded my expectations on the care that was given to our toy Aussie, Laramie. She would even go out of her way to send me pictures of Laramie during her time there. The rooms and crates are plenty big enough for dogs of all sizes. There are video cameras in the rooms as well so the dogs can be watched if no one is present in the room at the time. Baths are offered, the dogs get plenty of outdoor play time along with making new pup friends, and Dana keeps a close eye on females when in heat (or even if they’re close to that time) to prevent breeding. Dana was wonderful with sticking with Laramie's feeding schedule as well. Unlike so many other dog boardings, you can trust that your dog will be well taken care of and will be happy to go back for another stay! 100% best dog boarder in Floyd & NRV.
Watch Dog Animal Care is the ONLY place I will leave my dogs. Dana goes above and beyond in her care and concern treating each pet like they were her own. When you start packing up the car with dog food, leashes, toys, etc…. and the dogs beat you to the car!!!! It’s a clear sign you have found a HOME away from home for the furry loves of your life. Willow and Ezra deserve the BEST that’s why I choose Watch Dog Animal Care♥️
Our dogs love coming to Watch Dog Animal Care! We love the small scale boarding aspect. It is such a nice, clean building and we love that they have own room and a nice yard area to play in. I highly recommend this business. They will take great care of your pets!
Our dog loves Dana and is always treated well when staying at the kennel. Abby gets to play outside and with other dogs when owners are agreeable to them interacting. Abby can get a bath and nail trim when we leave her, and I find the prices for everything to be reasonable and competitive.
Dana and everyone at Watch Dog are amazing! I get so nervous leaving my dogs for any amount of time and there are few people I trust watching them but I know at Watch Dog they are taken care of. There’s a fenced in yard for them to play and get exercise with the other dogs so I know they love it also! Highly recommend Watch Dog!!!
I have used this service several times and have been well pleased with the care my dogs received. Dana is very experienced in dog care and training and has been a huge help with my "wild children!" She has also bent over backwards to accommodate my schedule. I would not think of going anywhere else for pet care!!
My dog just finished his second stay at Watch Dog and I am very happy with his care. Check in was fast and easy, he went into Dana’s care with no trembling anxiety like his first time. He was comfortable from the start. He got his annual bath, and ate all of his pre measured meals, with meds, which is also a sign, to me, of his comfort at Watch Dog. At checkout, Dana’s assistant was professional and ready for me. We will use Watch Dog again.
We love Dana and Watch Dog Animal Care! We know our pooch is well taken care of when she is there. The rooms are cozy and there is plenty of space to play outside. We highly recommend Watch Dog Animal Care!
Our dog is so excited to go see Dana and play with all her friends. We know we don't have to worry about her while we are gone. She is in the best care and treats her like her own.
A WONDERFUL place for any dog to stay! Dogs have time to be outside where they are separated by size and temperament so that everyone gets along and has a chance to run around outside. Even older dogs that may be less “social” get to be out and with other dogs that will leave them alone. The owner has a natural love for animals and it shows. Gaius loves staying there and I know he will be well cared for.

Bryan was fantastic!! We have an anxious cat who usually makes a huge mess when we leave. Bryan met all her needs so we came home to a happy cat and a clean house. He even put the trash out for us on trash day. I loved getting daily pictures. I’m so glad we found him because he is now our go-to pet sitter.
Bryan has been taking care of our dog for about 5 years, first with another pet service and now with his own company. He is reliable, easy to deal with, and most of all, caring. He also does little extras like picking up our mail and playing with our dog. We never worry when we go away because Bryan is tending to our girl. And she is always as good or better when we return. We absolutely recommend Bryan and you won't be sorry!
Bryan is the best in the business. He is professional, kind, and attentive to my pets’ needs. He even sends fun pictures of them occasionally. We don’t travel often, but when we do, Bryan is the first person we reach out to for pet care! Banjo and Bella love him and the house and the pets always show they’ve been well cared for on our return.
I could not function without Bryan Pena helping with my pets. For the past 20 years, Bryan has taken care of my pets, from times when I was on vacation to weekly dog walks. He was even with me to say good-bye to one of my beloved dogs. He truly connects with the animals and they love him. All I have to say to my dog, Isabella, is "Uncle Bryan is coming today," and she sits and waits at the window, watching for him. I would recommend Bryan to any family who has beloved pets. I trust him explicitly and adore him as well.
Bryan does an incredible job taking care of our dog and cat. He is very reliable and has no problem doing extra small tasks like bringing in the mail. Our dog really enjoys his visits, and loves playing with him. I highly recommend this business.
Bryan Pena has provided attentive, reliable care for my cats for years. I particularly appreciate his willingness to fit into his schedule nearly daily visits with a pair of brothers I adopted as kittens three years ago, helping keep them busy and healthy when I am working. Bryan has taken my cats to the vet, tended them while I was out of town, and stayed overnight with them when I was on an extended trip. My cats are precious to me and I confidently and peacefully entrust Bryan with their care.
This is the only company we would trust to take care of our cat after he developed cancer. Bryan is extremely communicative - he always texts me pictures and updates. He spends extra time giving our cat treats and love. Now that our cat is sick, Bryan pays close attention to his special needs....his wounds, how much he's eating, etc. Bryan is incredibly experienced and has an impressive knowledge of animals. Most importantly, he really cares about the animals.
Paws pet sitting service is the best if you need professional, compassionate care for your animals. We went through a long period of having several geriatric dogs and cats with various medical issues. They needed LOTS of support and Bryan always delivered. He made it possible for us to travel and to be away from home during the workday. We have worked with Bryan for several years and couldn't ask for better pet-sitting service. He is extremely competent and capable. Our pets love him!
We’ve used Bryan’s pet sitting services for many years now and have always been happy with the care he takes with our dogs. He’s responsive to texts and emails when we’ve reached and he’s very reliable. Our dogs are always well cared for and happy when we get home so we know they must like him a lot! We highly recommend his services.
Bryan has been taking care of our dogs and cats for several years and he does a great job! We have a dog that is blind and we had a cat that required insulin shots. He takes good care of our pets and we highly recommend him.
