"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
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.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
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.
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
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!

"Sowapi is simply brilliant with its new features! I love the ease of use and the international openness which makes everything more accessible. Thank you to the team, I am delighted and highly recommend!"
We discovered this application a year ago and found a second family for our dog. 🥰. We can now leave with our eyes closed. In the event of a last-minute childcare problem, they are responsive and quickly find a solution. Thanks to Sowapi as well as Florence's family who always take very good care of our dog
Great idea, good application, easy to understand and handle. Too bad there aren't enough pet owners who know about it or who are willing to make a subscription to look for a petsitter. I have never had a single request from a petparent... If petsitters would have access to owners' requests, I am convinced that exchanges would take place much more quickly. Owners would quickly have several proposals to evaluate and choose from.
I'm still looking for a job looking after dogs. My children would be on task and so happy. But living 5 minutes from Lausanne and knowing that the demand is great, I never have a request. So for me this site is useless unfortunately but good luck for the future
Believing it was a good site I paid for it for a whole year. I wrote to 4 pet sitters to request a care for 3 days, 2 canceled directly without even responding to my message, I reported it to the founders of the app and I am still waiting for their feedback. Don't offer annual membership access if you don't have enough good pet sitters to offer. Big disappointment with this app!
Super happy. Thanks to Sowapi I was able to find a trustworthy person to look after my cat during my vacation. I recommend!
Thanks to the application I was able to find a trustworthy person who permanently takes care of my dog when I am away. Living alone, I wanted to find someone who loves animals as much as I do and, above all, someone I could trust. After a few discussions with Mauricio, he was able to reassure me about pet-sitters. Sowapi keeps track of your requests and listens to you. And if necessary, contact the pet-sitter so that we can get an answer fairly quickly. I am really happy with this service and this application. I know that I can leave with peace of mind because my furball is in good hands. Many thanks!
Superb application, top notch🤩! Reservation in two clicks and with confidence! The pet-sitters are verified by Sowapi, which reassures me. I also look at other people's reviews. I was able to use this Sowapi service for a Last-minute reservation, the responsiveness was great! Very useful for helping me out when I need it: without Sowapi I would never have found it so quickly! 👌🏻 Thank you Sowapi: a solution for owners who love their furballs 🥰🐶🐾 Tested and approved, I recommend 👍🏻✅
Hello, I have just discovered this application with great joy. In fact, I had a last minute problem to keep my snoppy during my vacation and I called SOWAPI. Incredible, I very quickly found several people full of love for animals ready to help me. Vanessa and Mauricio demonstrate great professionalism and excellent speed in assisting us. Adorable people with big hearts for our 4-legged friends. The service is top notch for weekend repairs, holidays and walks. It's great. I highly recommend and the Pet-sitters are committed people with lots of kindness, professionalism and love. What a relief. Thank you for this superb idea. Nicole
I can't use the app. I pet-sit at home.
Hello! My wife and I are happy to have met Alexandre, our first court went wonderfully! He matches our vision, he listens and gives really good advice! We highly recommend it! Pat and Vivi
Friendly, good advice, communicative calm, we appreciate the accompanied walks in the company of Alexandre. It is reassuring and helps us understand our fearful dog and act as best we can to reduce her negative behavior.
Alexandre was able to listen to our problems and provide us with relevant and adapted advice for our daily lives. Contact is easily established with him, his calm is pleasant and his relationship with my dog is most natural.
Nice meeting with Alexandre, a caring, accessible, very friendly person. Listening and very good advice that we put into practice every day and... it works really well. We can see that he is passionate about his job and a great animal lover 🥰 our puppy had a great time during the lessons, especially since Alexandre was in the company of his dog Yuna who was adorable and had impeccable patience with our “electric battery” 😅 We can’t wait to participate in group lessons which will certainly be very beneficial for the socialization of our doggie. We highly recommend him and we are delighted to entrust him with our dog for boarding. Thanks again for everything Alexandre and see you soon.
I met Alex by chance when I was looking for boarding for my 9-month-old cattle dog, during the summer holidays. I am not disappointed! In addition, my dog had a very positive change in behavior when he returned home. I take the obligatory lessons with him too and in 1 hour I have already learned a lot and above all I have learned to trust my dog. I strongly advise everyone to get in touch. Paws and company for both boarding and training. Top of the top!
Super good experience with Alexandre who advises me on the education of Milo, my 11 month old golden retriever. He has a very balanced approach, respectful of both people and dogs. He has a lot of knowledge, explains canine behaviors very clearly and gives very practical advice. I particularly like that it offers group walks, where my dog can perfect his social skills.
Alex is really very nice and invested in his work! We called on him following my birth because we could no longer meet our dog's needs in terms of the amount of walking. Alex comes to pick up our dog from our house and goes out with her without any problem despite her special character :) We recommend +++
He explained my dog's problem to me well and gave me a lot of exercise to do with it. He has solutions to the problem we encounter with our dogs, a very good dog trainer, I recommend him
Hello 👋 incredible experience! I was really stressed at the idea of releasing my puppy with someone else because it was too abrupt, well he showed me that you have to have confidence in your dog and that's how the bond with my saiko really improved and now crossbreeding between dogs is stress-free for me!! Thanks again 💕 …
I recommend Alexandre as a dog trainer and dog sitter. We entrusted her with our Coton de Tulear a few times and she almost didn't want to leave home. He gave us very good advice that we try to implement on a daily basis. He is both calm and firm with the dogs and we feel confident with him. Thank you Alexandre...
Every time I leave, I entrust my cat to Sarah because I know that she takes good care of him and that he is in good hands. Sarah is an excellent professional, always attentive, dedicated, very friendly. Many thanks Sarah.
In a word: EXCELLENT! You can trust him with your eyes closed. My furballs are taken care of and it reassures me every time I entrust them to him 🥰 …
I am delighted with his very professional work! My cats are confident, so I can go away on weekends knowing that they will be pampered. The grooming was perfect too, thank you!
We entrust our cat Lola to him whenever we are away. We feel that she is a professional, lover of animals. We trust him with our eyes closed. THANKS !
Very good work, very professional and 100% reliable. To recommend without hesitation for the greater good of our furry ones.
Trustworthy person, available and attentive. I leave without worries, far from my animals with confidence. Many thanks!
At the top! Trustworthy, pleasant, dynamic person, always smiling, attentive and loving towards animals. My dog loves it :-)
I can only recommend Happy Pet's. Professional, conscientious, dedicated, everything our animals need when we are away. I am delighted and thank her
A marvel for my animals. Very professional and very friendly. Quality service.
Professional and attentive, I recommend without hesitation!!
Melis and her team have set up a fantastic new day care focused around the dogs and their needs. The facilities are great and the amount of thought and care of the team is evident. The communication , and responsiveness has been very helpful as well. Is really easy to book and pay online. Thanks Woofy for creating a space like this for dogs in Lausanne where i feel my little weirdo will be well taken care of.
I brought my Shiba Umi to Woofy and it went super well! Umi was not stressed at all and she quickly took these marks. The staff is super welcoming, professional and attentive to the needs of the dog and the owner. In addition, it is a pension different from the others, there are several rooms whether for rest, games, socialization etc. And a little more the long walks with friends and especially the news of your dog at all times. Umi was delighted with this experience and so was I! Thanks to Melis and all her team for taking such good care of my dog ! I would come back with Umi for sure! 🙏🏼
I absolutely cannot praise Woofy enough! Melis and the entire team consistently go above and beyond to ensure that my dog Cumin has the time of his life during each visit. Their exceptional expertise, care, and genuine love for all the dogs they care for truly shines through. The facility is thoughtfully designed with a variety of interactive rooms that cater to different needs. If you're a pet parent in search of the perfect daycare, Woofy is your place!! 🐶
Woofy in Lausanne has been a fantastic daycare for our dog, who absolutely loves it there. The facility's structure ensures a safe and fun environment, and we plan to bring him again soon.
Woofy is the best place in Lausanne you can drop your dog for half or full day of stay they are not going to regret! Amazing staff, location perfectly furbished and equipped with all the possible toys and stimuli for our beloved dogs (and even more). What you can find here are competencies, trainings, passion and love for dogs. Really well done and looking forward to let Trudy stay with you again! :)
Extremely professional service, we couldn't be more satisfied!
I booked a discovery morning for my dog and I was extremely satisfied of the professionalism and care ! Thanks 🙏 Nala loved it and we will be back soon 🙌 …
We brought our little staffie, Nala, for the introductory morning and were made to feel very welcome. The session began with a 30-minute discussion about our dog's character. During the morning, we were able to follow the activities on Instagram: walk, wading in a pool and a lesson in learning how to lie down properly. When we went to pick her up, we received a little update on her character and her morning. Nala was of course exhausted after so much activity. Very satisfied and we will use their services in the future! We recommend!
Woofy loves our furry companions and this is felt as soon as you set foot in this hotel for dogs. Everything is done to ensure that our dog's stay goes well: a first interview to discuss and introduce Woofy's places. Then we learn that our dog will have walks, exercises and sensory activity! Excellent, you are the solution for people who love their animals. Thank you for making your stay at Spyke a great one. We had a peaceful stay and we were happy for our dog. Thanks Woofy 🐶
AWESOME! Since opening, we have entrusted our little Maki to Melis and the whole team. They are super attentive to his needs and his character, give him a lot of affection and offer lots of stimulating activities. He is always happy to go back. We completely trust the entire team and recommend Woofy with our eyes closed!
Rute is great, she truly loves her job and dogs. Our Beagle Jip loves her very much. Always so happy when it is time for her walk with Rute and Wasabi. Rute is friendly, flexibel and reliable. Would recommend her service to everyone. Thank you Rute
Shortly after we moved to Pully, we were looking for someone not only to give food to our pet when we leave on holidays, but much complex and ”deeper” care. We love our kitty, that is extremely attached to us and super social. Vision of leaving her for slightly more than a week alone with someone “unknown” was scary for us. But now we have found a person of complete trust! We met Rute for an introduction meeting at first and we knew right away that it’s a match! ;) Veeeery professional, our cat loves her and whenever she comes over, Halina pays back with many many biscuits 🍪😅 highly recommended!! And we are able to chill on our holidays because we know, our cat is in good hands!
Rute was absolutely great taking care of our cat while we left on holiday. We can only recommend her as a fantastic cat-sitter! :)
Amazing service, and I really felt that my two cats were well taken care of 😊 …
Very pleasant person, good contact, cares about the little habits of our 4-legged friends. Impeccable service, I highly recommend it.
Cool
I recently took my dog to Fun Dog Daycare to get him used to water, and I was extremely happy with the experience. The staff are incredibly calm and patient, taking the time to advise and support every step of the way. They were able to create a safe and calming environment, allowing my dog to feel comfortable and confident. I also learned how to get him used to water without forcing him, just having fun. Their expertise and kindness really made the difference. I highly recommend Fun Dog Garderie to all dog owners who want to introduce their companion to water.
I go to the swimming pool with my Rottweiler, that's where the swimming instructor Lydwine taught him to swim, as a puppy he had some apprehensions with the water but with Lydwine's enormous experience now he loves it! Great welcome, parking spaces and easy access by car, even for us from Neuchâtel, everything is well planned for both the owner and the dog. Infrastructure always impeccable. I recommend this place. Olive
Know-how to take care of our doggies. I can leave it with confidence. A golden team, which knows how to renew itself and which is organizing a hell of a fundog run for us.
Disappointed to have noticed after several days of observation, that in fact, the little stories on the RS do not really correspond to reality. These games and activities represent at best 10 minutes during the day. No instructor enters the dog enclosures outside of this “showcase creation” time except to clean up small accidents or during the 2 daily walks. Not a hug, not a game. It's really sad. The dogs are waiting under surveillance! That said, for many, this alternative remains preferable to a dog that would be left alone at home for 8 hours a day. Not my vision of day care for kids.
My dog has been going there once or twice a week since he was 5 months old and I think I can say that he really appreciates it and so do I :) The concept is great and I am always calm about entrusting him to a very professional, caring and attentive team. listening to it. I know that my dog is in good hands and that he will enjoy his day between games with friends, caresses and walks... the best! I highly recommend !
I do not recommend Fun Dog for sensitive dogs (small and indoor spaces/lots of dogs at the same time). No alternative for calmer dogs. After 4 hours of testing, I left empty-handed with my dog and I paid 30.-- for a half-day trial in vain! I found the staff unempathetic and unprofessional in acclimatizing a dog... Finally, I found a daycare in Forel and my dog has a blast with people who love all breeds of dogs.
It's really great!
My dog goes there from time to time and is always very happy there. The concept is very nice, with various activities during the day and videos in the evening or the next day to share the good moments of the day.
A daycare with a great concept (play areas, 2 walks, à la carte service: swimming pool / fitness / grooming, etc.). A very professional and attentive team. Our dog goes there every week for her greatest happiness.
