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'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
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.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
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.
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
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!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?

How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $ per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.

If you’re looking for a place where your pet will receive genuine care and attention, Barkingham Pawlace is the perfect choice. I’ve been bringing my pet here several times now, and I always feel at ease knowing they are in trustworthy hands. The entire staff is incredibly attentive and treats the animals with real love. Everything here is thoughtfully organized: spacious and clean play areas, comfortable conditions for extended stays, and, of course, 24/7 video surveillance so I can keep an eye on how their day is going. It’s especially nice to receive photos showing how happy and entertained they are. The owners truly care about their guests and create an atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to be sure of their pet’s safety and comfort
I have been bringing my bully princess Kova to Barkingham since it’s been open. The facility is so spacious and so clean. I love the open floor plan and the separate playing areas for the big and small dogs. There are plenty of kennel spaces for overnight guests. Andrea, the owner, is so kind and so loving to Nova. I love that her gentle giant Great Dane, Khal, is always there to keep the dogs company as well! She has 24/7 camera surveillance to make sure all is safe & constantly updates you on your dogs status. I love that she takes pictures to update you as well. Barkingham Pawlace has amazing vibes and I will continue to bring Nova here for play or when I go on vacation. Highly recommend you bring your fur baby here for some love & all the fun!!
I travel a lot and came across this company for doggy day care. I met the owner and immediately fell in love with her. She is so sweet and caring. I left my dog with her while I was in Europe. They took extra great care of my dog, I’ve never seen a company put so much effort in watching dogs. I wouldn’t go anywhere but here in the future.
Want to spoil your dog? Take them to Barkingham Pawlace. The staff is incredible and makes you feel like family. My husky mix, Lucy, literally tries to jump out of the car to run in and be greeted by the owner, Andrea! I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care and attention they provide to Lucy, and it's clear that the team at Barkingham Pawlace genuinely love and care for all the pets. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always going the extra mile to make Lucy's visits so wonderful.
I recently brought my doggy here and I was super impressed with the level of care and cleanliness Barkingham Pawlace has. The owner is super sweet and very attentive, a real animal lover for sure. My dog is older and though he's still playful, he's more cautious around other dogs. The owner made sure my dog was tended to and felt comfortable during play time. I will definitely be bringing my doggy back.
Took my French Bulldog there over a weekend and he had a great time! I was updated with pictures and the service I received was friendly and helpful. I’m always nervous leaving my little guy alone but Barkingham Pawlace is definitely a place I would recommend to anyone in the LA area. 10/10
Barkingham Pawlace is the very BEST daycare/boarding care establishment that I've had the pleasure of keeping my beloved puppy in. They are a very clean and puppy friendly environment for your furry friend! They keep your animals in open spaces to play with the other dogs and not caged for long periods of time. They are attentive toward your pets and will provide you with videos/pictures of your pet during their stay! They provide excellent care and I strongly recommend them!
From the moment you walk in, Andrea and her staff warmly greet you! The facility is very clean, bright, and welcoming. Our pup stayed for a week and didn’t want to leave! We will definitely return for all our daycare and boarding needs!
I am so happy that I found Barkingham Pawlace. I was never comfortable leaving my dog at any boarding place before, but now I am in total peace leaving my dog here. My 8 months old puppy was there for whole month, and she came back happy and healthy. Andrea keeps the place so clean and loves dogs like her own. She sent pictures and videos and updated how she is doing often. I will bring back my dog here anytime, and nowhere else.
Love this daycare! Owner Drea is so sweet and caring for any paw babies who come in. I felt safe leaving my fur baby because she is dedicated to their comfort and safety. 10/10 recommend
