Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!

Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!

Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.

Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.

Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.

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.
Kaori
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)

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!

Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.

My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.

We have tried several places to board our Nina & Bella. The places were all cages for the dogs & our dogs are not use to being caged. They love interacting with people & other animals. We then found Barks Town Country, Chris & Brooke are the nicest people! We knew from our first time meeting them they love animals. Our dogs loved going to their home where they got the same care there like home. Our Bella has a medical issue & when she gets nervous there is always a change in her bowel movement. Going to Barks Town Country there is no change in Bella 🥰. Both Nina & Bella come home exhausted from playing so much. We are so grateful that we found them & we highly recommend them.
If you have been worrying about finding a safe and comfortable place to leave your dog overnight, you can breathe a sigh of relief. These are your people. I had been dreading the day when I would have to board our 2 year old dog. She is used to being with family, is a sweet pup, can be a little nervous and is a bit spoiled... I just didn’t see her faring well in a traditional kennel. I found Brooke and Chris Rivera’s BarksTown site and thought it would be too good to be true... However, I’m pleased to tell you that they are amazing. They took our dog into their home and gave her what seemed like a little “vacation” of her own! Our dog got first class treatment that included walks, lots of play time, snuggles, daily brushing, lounging around a super cute home and best of all, she made new friends with the Rivera’s over-the-top cute dog, Marshmallow. I received pictures and daily updates on our dog that included details about how she was adjusting and overall reassurances that she was having a great time! When we got home and reunited with our furry family member, she was relaxed and just happy to see us again. She was bright eyed, rested and even smelled good! Give these folks a call if you need a place for your dog to stay. You (and your beloved pet) won’t be disappointed! Thank you, BarksTown!! 🐾🐶
We boarded our dogs with BarksTown Country this past weekend and I couldn’t have been happier! We have two Rhodesian ridgebacks who can be a little hard to handle, and on top of that, they're my babies so I am VERY overprotective of them and am extremely picky about who watches them. I’ve been looking for an in home boarding service for awhile now and am SO happy I found Barkstown Country. We've boarded our dogs at traditional kennels in the past and I just never felt comfortable leaving them there - one of my dogs would start shaking in fear the second we showed up at the kennel. But when we showed up at Chris and Brooke's, both dogs settled in instantly and felt right at home! We brought them out back to check out the fenced in play area and instantly they started playing!! This is when I knew we had come to the right place! When the dogs are inside they're not kept in a kennel, and can comfortably sleep on the couch or bed (which is exactly what they do when they’re home). Chris sent me pictures and updates throughout the weekend which gave me a peace of mind knowing they were happy and well taken care of! I’d highly recommend BarksTown country! We’ll definitely be using them again!
If you’re looking for a dog walker - then I 110% recommend Barkstown Country. We were having issues with our 6 year old medium sized puppers, Penny. She is housed trained and rarely had any accidents in the house until this passed winter. After a few weeks of consistent accidents we decided she needed someone to get her out of the house in the middle of the day. We reached out to Barkstown and that same day Brooke responded to us to set up a time for her and Chris to come and meet us and Penny and just get an idea of what we were looking for. Right away Penny (and us) loved them! They were so accommodating when it came to my Husband’s and my schedules (which at the time was consistently changing especially with the snow / working from home). After every walk we would get a text from Brooke or Chris saying Penny was good to go and occasionally we’d get an adorable picture of Penny enjoying the outside! We could tell that they just enjoyed taking care of your dog and gave them as much love that we would give our pup. We recently moved out of the area but Chris and Brooke still occasionally check in with us to see how Penny is doing! They’re truly amazing and caring people! Thank you guys for everything!
THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I have never boarded my 6 year old Yorkie before and when I had a family emergency (my mother fell on Christmas) Chris and Brooke took my fur baby on short notice during the very busy holiday weekend. I was so nervous and stressed out at the thought of putting my spoiled yorkie in a kennel when hes never even been in a crate - thats when I found BarksTown Country which is kennel free at their own home. Chris and Brooke are the most genuine people and it was divine intervention that I found them because I will go back again and again. It was like having a friend watch my dog. They were easy to communicate with, sent me pictures all the time which totally put my mind at ease, and most importantly they treat your dog like one of their own - seriously! My yorkie snuggled with Chris' mom all weekend (they sent me pictures, she was literally holding him while snoozing like a baby in her arms on the couch) and their dog, Marshmallow, was the most friendly (and adorable) host. I think my dog actually came back to me in better spirits than when I dropped him off! Thank you chris, brooke and family.... can't wait to see you again!!!
We've been using BarksTown's services to walk our boxer Monday through Friday for the past year, and have been very happy. They're reliable, responsive, and clearly care about her. We just started using the BarksTown Country boarding services as well and it was such a relief to know our pup was in good hands while we were traveling. They shared pics and video of her throughout the week and their pickup/dropoff service made it incredibly convenient.
Chris has been taking care of my five cats for a year now. He sends photos of my cats when he visits and keeps me updated on how they are doing. Chris is gentle with my cats and they are happy with him. I’m am extremely satisfied with BarksTown Country.
I am so glad I had Chris take care of my senior cat Etta while I was away He was wonderful with her and even sent me a picture to put my mind at ease She was fed and socialized and received her medications from a loving sole I think she misses him Will definitely use his services again
The best ever!! I have a chihuahua. Pinto first stayed in August and I've used them every month since. Every time I call to see if there is availability for Pinto to stay they come through. Pinto absolutely loves staying with them. Wish I found them years ago!

my border collie Oliver loves this place! He comes home completely exhausted and I can tell he enjoys his time here because of he perks up his ears and wags his tail when I say “daycare”. Thank you for taking care of my high energy dog! Highly recommend 10/10
Amazing pet boarding place. My dog always comes home exhausted! I love being able to go on vacation knowing that my dog is happy and safe. I recommend this place to all of my friends ad family! Affordable prices and clean facility.
Absolutely love this place! The employees are friendly and you can tell they love their jobs! They keep it so clean, they post videos daily of what’s going on in both little dog and big dog rooms and it’s great, affordable rates! There was an incident where my pup got hurt. The staff reached out to me immediately and handled it all in a very professional manner. Highly recommend. My pups smile in the picture says it all. She loves it!!
My little girl loves to hear that she going to play with her “LITTLES”. I love that I can drop her off without prior notice. The staff is so great, they handle the dogs wonderful. The dogs are wonderful care Prices are super great too….Having access to watch them is great for worry full fur parents.
Our dog has been playing & vacationing for years at LRD. He loves it, and we love the care he gets! So grateful to have it so close by! 🐶🐾❤️ …
They are so friendly and the periodic pics and videos are awesome. We definitely found our new boarding place. Highly recommend.
My dog was very happy with her stay. She is very little and staff takes extra care of her little needs. She is a little shy too. Nice to know they have sweet , appropriate, animal loving staff. What a relief to not have to worry about my sweet girl while on my trip. Extra ty to Steven who carried her around a lot. 😊 …
Highly recommended! The kennel is clean. The staff is friendly. The dogs are safe. The prices are reasonable. The location is convenient. What's not to like? I've boarded my two dogs here twice. They seem to love it. The owner posts videos of all the dogs every day. It's great. No complaints whatsoever.
Over the weekend, my dog stayed at a care facility and was returned to me with the same amount of food that I had provided. I was impressed with how quickly she devoured her meal and rushed to her food bowl. If you are unable to properly care for a large number of dogs, it may be best to limit the number of dogs you take in.
This place is the absolute best! I never worry about how my dog will be treated because they treat them like they are part of the family. He gets SO excited on days he gets to go play with all his friends :) Friendly staff, clean clean clean!, welcoming atmosphere, great place all around!
