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.

Steven
Our review is written by Steven (house owner, host + my father) + also by Kim (the daughter). Written by Kim: This was our first house sit since the passing of my mother in late Dec 2023. I was helping my father Steven (whose profile it is) manage all the emails + try + find a great house sitter + came along Gretchen’s profile! Not only is she a cool cat + someone you might want to get to know, I found myself quickly talking to her. I shortly found out her profile is just a glimpse of how interesting she is but talking to her was so much better! She is a world traveler with many experiences + stories to share. We quickly became conversationalists who could talk forever + probably will continue to do so! Thank you TH! She is easy to communicate with + continued the consistent communication all along our journey of having her as our *first* guest after my mom’s passing. It was clearly a time filled with anxiety + sensitivity so there were some sensitive topics to go over + Gretchen got it right away. A few of our rooms in the house were off-limits (as they housed my mom’s things) but we reassured her the house has ample space for her to enjoy + there are many lovely outdoor spaces to boot! When she arrived she felt she was in paradise + really relished in the outdoor beauty + the indoor coziness. We were happy to share it with someone who appreciated it so much! She also was very understanding with the fact that both my dad + I would both be involved as we both handled different parts of the stay. Me, writing + setting up the Welcome Guide + would go over the situation but then upon her arrival my dad would take over + answer any questions mostly during her sit. The good part of having 2 people is she had accessibility to us both, in the case she needed it + sometimes it came up! She juggled all the communication oh so well. My mom usually handled most of the logistics so this being our first time we were nervous something would come up we might not know but it didn’t! It was new territory for us + we wanted to make sure she had everything. Gretchen handled it all with such ease, seamlessly, really respecting our wishes/desires + taking all the information into her hands + making it seem easy on her end to do so. She was easy to coordinate schedules with! There was a gap in her 1st + 2nd sit but everything went seamlessly even when my flight had a day long delay. She was able to coordinate schedules with me arriving in between, then leaving, my dad arriving different days + us extending the trip too. It all worked out! We were all a good team! She absolutely loved our older cat, Benny + he fast + furiously fell in love with her oh so easily. When I saw him, he looked oh so loved + after saying hi to me went over to ‘her’ bed + slept there waiting for her to come back. She sent many pictures, videos + even cute creations + toys she made for our Benny + it was obvious the house + our Benny were her first priority. She even asked us if she could help prune our flowers/shrubs, something my mom used to do + honestly it was an honor to hear her ask that. She was welcome to set up her art studio + play away. She was very communicative when our house cleaner, landscape gardener + house manager showered up for different reasons. When I arrived back for a short stint before she came back the 2nd time our mail was so well organized it was an assembly line! She also offered to take down our xmas tree (as we were a bit behind in taking down our xmas decorations) + she was sensitive to the fact that we were adjusting to a new normal. Thank you so much Gretchen! You made our first sit in a long time so seamless + such a relief that we are ready now to host again. We only wish we could have more Gretchen’s! (She’s also a super talented artist!) Written by Steven: Overall, Gretchen has been an absolute treasure. She has fulfilled our goals for a house sitter perfectly - she took good care of the house, great care of our treasured pet, Mr. Benny + took care of the grounds such as watering a few plants + trees. She excelled in all the above + is welcome back anytime I will be out of town in the future.

Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Nancy
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.

I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!

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!

Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
gretchen
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Paola
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Steven
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!
danica and ajit
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!

This is a fantastic small business run by a true pet lover, with a huge fenced in yard to exercise the dogs, daily photos and kind texts, and lots of play time with the other dogs who are boarding at Mad Pawz. Truly first rate in every respect, with clear communications and fair pricing. The owners are lovely people who will love your dogs. Our family travels regularly. And as much as we love them, we can't always take our two dogs with us. A friend recommended trying Faith and her family at Mad Pawz for the very best care in the area. And our friend was right - we feel like we hit the jackpot in dog boarding.
Faith and Justin at Mad Pawz are awesome! They sent us photos and updates of our Luna everyday and even got her a pup cup for spoil your pup day! When we picked Luna up, Faith was very informative on how everything went. 10/10 recommend!!
We found Mad Pawz by chance while we were frantically looking to board our Bo right before a trip Puerto Rico. The place we normally take him was full because of course we wait until the last minute. Of course I was hesitant as he had never gone there before but I tell you what, I’m normally not a lucky person, but we hit the jackpot. Mad Pawz isn’t a typical boarding facility, it’s a home away from home. What boarding facility has ever sent you pictures of your pets every single day? Without fail, every day I received a picture of Bo and I could tell that he was so happy to be there by the look on his face. It made me smile and tear up a little every single time. He’s not sad in a kennel all day. He’s happy and playing with his new best friends! It gave me a peace of mind that you can’t really even put a price tag on. I didn’t worry about him for one second while I was gone. I only leave reviews if I am so extremely happy with something that I feel I have to tell others. If you’re looking for a HOME (not a kennel) away from home for your pets, I can’t recommend anywhere better!
You couldn't find a better place to board your furbabies than Mad Pawz! You can tell instantly it's more than a job to Faith and Justin. It's a passion, and that's what makes Mad Pawz our first choice for our pet boarding needs! Oh, and the daily pictures of our pups didn't hurt either!
Mad Pawz takes great care of my dog when I'm away, and it's been a big help with her socialization with other dogs. Prices are fair, and with their new location, the dogs have a big yard to play in.
A+++ service, friendly, pet oriented care. This is our go to pet boarding and drop in dog walking service. Price is very reasonable. Your fur baby is in good hands here!!!
It was a great atomsphere for my 2 dogs they had a blast, Mad Pawz sent me photos of them playing or laying around relaxin. They had a party and the dogs get pup cups. Thanks Mad Pawz job well done
I was very apprehensive about leaving our boy Loki with a boarding place and I’m so glad we chose Mad Pawz! He was taken such great care of and he absolutely loved it there. He was treated like one of the family and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was doing so well! They send daily updates and photos and that was wonderful! Highly recommend this for your fur babies!
Horrible customer service from Faith. She did not check the paperwork or ask any questions prior to his first visit nor did she try to get to know him before taking him inside. We heard Faith screaming at the other dogs from the front yard when we arrived. Then she continued to tell us that she was leaving to run errands but her husband was in the yard. When we arrived for pickup, Justin was in the yard and the dogs were inside. Completely unacceptable to be paying for a sitter and he’s not being monitored especially when other dogs are present. Justin was very nice and friendly during pickup and the only positive outcome of this experience
Such an amazing dog daycare spot! My family & I went to go experience the Allegheny train ride, so we needed to drop our little fur baby for a couple hours. He had lots of fun with the other dogs and would definitely recommend it to others! Faith was super sweet and we felt very comfortable dropping our little pup.

Tina, Jamie, everyone there has always provided excellent care for our Collies. We think they love them as much as we do! The facilities are spacious and well designed. The drop off and pick up times are very convenient. Communication is seamless. They continue to add enrichment experiences, walks, play spaces, even special seasonal treats. We don’t feel any guilt when Kepler needs to stay at his Pet Resort.
We can't say enough about the amazing care our pups, Bella and King, receive at Dogwood Pet Resort. From the moment we drop them off, we know they're in the best hands. Tina and her team are absolutely wonderful. They treat our dogs like their own, and it's evident that they genuinely care about their well-being. Every time we pick up Bella and King, they're always happy, healthy, and full of energy. It's clear they've had a blast during their stay. We trust Dogwood Pet Resort completely and highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a place to board!
Fantastic experience for our Zuzu! We used Dogwood for 3 separate vacations this summer and couldn’t give them higher praise. Tina and everyone there truly love their jobs and our fur babies. The additions they have offered now such as nature walks and playtime in the yard kept her very active and content. She was always clean and happy every time we’ve picked her up. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality care for their pups. She even gave us updates and pictures 😊.
Staff is great with my dog, Kenji, and he seems very happy there. He's always excited when he goes there, which is a good thing. When I take Kenji to Dogwood, our drive is an hour and some. Because of how my dog is treated, I will keep driving that far when I need to board him again.
First time we took our dog there, we had the best experience. He was only there 5 days the first time. However, our second experience was not the best. He came home with a chewed harness, broken leash, and smelled like dog/cat pee. After spending $150more dollars to replace everything that was broken and on a grooming appointment, he’s finally back to the same self. His behavior has changed drastically. He does not listen to his basic commands and is chewing everything insight, including our brand new carpet. I really hat to give poor reviews to any business because the worked were so kind and informative when dropping and picking our dog up. I just hope this was one bad experience.
Our baby boy loves your place. My husband and I never worry when he’s with you. You can tell that you love him as if he was your own. Your place is always so clean, the entire staff is friendly and helpful… you have us forever 🥰🥰 …
We had a fantastic experience with Dogwood Pet Resort! The staff was friendly, the facilities were clean, and our dog came back happy and well-cared for. AND the nature walks are a plus. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and loving place to board their furry friend.
Tina and Tony are great pet people. They take time to go over all of ur concerns and make sure ur dog is as happy and taken care of as best as any dog kennel I have ever seen. There employees Jamie and Benett are also very willing to listen to your pet concerns and make sure you feel good leaving ur fur baby with them. Our dog loves to stay there and we can tell when we pick him up he is happy as he was when we dropped him off. Our dog will stay there moving forward and I'm glad we found such a great place to take care of our furry friend.
My daughter took my grandog to Dogwood pet resort for a day out of the house and she came back the happiest we've ever seen her! They bathed her, blew her coat (Husky), clipped her nails and played her little heart out. She can't wait to go back for another day out of the house and to explore the new play yard ❤️
My dog is always eager to go and happy when I pick him up. The staff are amazingly wonderful. The beautiful wooded site makes it marvelous for his daily walks. Saxon gives it 5 woofs!

a perfect place to bring your pets if you are going on vacation or just need a day to yourself. the staff is wonderful and super friendly.
They have watched our cats twice now and I'm very happy with them. My cats seemed very happy there when I came to pick them up. Their staff are always very friendly and helpful.
My dogs are always treated so good here. Very clean facility and friendly, caring staff.
Absolutely the best kennel for pets that I have ever used and my wife and I have lived in multiple states!! They are so professional and my dog gets excited about going there. I have never had any issue regarding fleas and ticks there, unlike other boarding places. Their prices are reasonable and I like their grooming services.
Happy Tails is the absolute best boarding and grooming place. We’ve taken our lab, Captain, here for more than 4 years. The kennels are clean and staff are over the top friendly! Highly recommend!
We absolutely LOVE this place. When we bring our fur baby here, we do not exist once he steps in the door. He looks forward to coming here and is always happy which makes us happy. 😁 …
These people are absolutely the BEST!!!! They treat every single dog like family!! Dale & his wife are so sweet/ loving & patient...really good folks. I always feel good about leaving my dogs here & am confident they are in good hands when I'm gone. Both my guys were there today getting groomed & they look awesome! Can't thank Happy Tails enough for always doing an amazing job! Love this place!💖🐩
Love this place for my pets. They take such good care of them. I worried at first cause I never leave them but they did wonderful. The grooming was great my dogs smelled good for a month.
Happy Tails did a great job taking care of our two dogs recently. Will definitely go back. Very convenient drop off and pick up times too.
First visit this week great team, and easy to work with. What peace of mind we had on Vacation. We were able to call to check on Tank. If they did not answer they gave a call back quickly and the price was great for there quality service. We highly recommend if you need someone to look after your fur baby. Thanks Dale and everyone at Happy Tails. You all did great.

Jessica and Kevin are the very best caretakers for your pet. My dog Pinky warmed up to them faster than she’s warmed up to any sitters, including my own family members! This is because they showered her with true kindness and even love. They were great to work with - very accommodating and sent updates. They will welcome your pet into their family, and I am so happy we found them. Highly recommend & we will use again.
Jess and Kevin were able to watch our dogs on a last minute trip for us. The pups were so happy and content being there. It was obvious how well they were taking care of. Only 30 minutes from Oakland. We will definitely use their services again. Thank you both!
