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!
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return 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
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
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.
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.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
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!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.

We love taking Ozy to Holiday Kennels. He is a rescue pup and has separation anxiety but he barely says goodbye to us now when we drop him off! The staff is friendly and we feel good about leaving him in their care.
The staff are amazing! They are kind and knowledgeable and take such great care of the animals. My standard poodle, who has some separation anxiety, loves it there!
I've taken my dog here for about 10 years. The staff is great and they always take great care of my pup! They are an absolute life saver for owners of bigger dogs which can be more difficult, or may not get along well with others. They even handle the administration of medications, or other special needs. I don't know what I'd do without them!
This is a wonderful place with people that genuinely care about animals. They are so sweet and communicative! Highly recommend them to anyone and everyone
We really love that our dog is happy to go here every time. The staff seem to like him being there too and this makes our hearts happy. We feel very confident knowing our fur baby is taken very good care of when we leave him here. We would highly recommend them!
I took my dog here for the first time before a 2.5 week vacation, which was the longest I've ever had to board him, and I was nervous about it for him. When I arrived, there happened to be another woman in the exact same boat, and she took the time to rave about her past experiences to me, detailing how great the staff was and how excited her dog was in the car to come back each time. It helped put me at ease, as my dog can be pretty anxious. It ended up being a great experience for us too, as they provided photos and updates on how he was doing. Being an anxious dog, I don't know if he will ever be jumping in the backseat in excitement to return to a boarding facility, but he seemed to do really well there and it was the best I could have hoped for.
I would highly recommend Holiday Kennels! They clearly care so much about the pets they look after. My dog has a lot of separation anxiety and really seems to do well here. The satff does amazing work and their prices can't be beat! Support this local business and trust your animals to Holiday Kennels!
My wife and I travel fairly often and are more than happy with the treatment both of our dogs receive at Holiday Kennels. By the time we are dropping them off the dogs are no longer paying attention to us and are excited to be somewhere they can socialize. They do an excellent job in grooming, they love animals, and the pricing is up front and fair. I have nothing but great things to say about this kennel and recommend to all of my friends when they ask for a place to board their animals.
Our dog spent 7 days at Holiday Kennel during our vacation to Las Vegas. She was well taken care of and we would not hesitate taking her there in the future.
I was very nervous to leave my dog at a kennel for the weekend, but it had to be done! We tried Holiday Kennels because of the excellent reviews here on Google. When I first went in I was a bit shocked because it didn't look fancy like the other kennels we had looked at online. It looked like the Humane Society - no frills, cement floors, cages. Anyway, I freaked out a little bit and the staff were incredibly understanding and patient with me. They said that they could put my dog in a special part of the kennel for nervous dogs (even though my dog wasn't nervous - it was me!). They said they understood if I wasn't comfortable leaving my dog. They were so kind that finally I calmed down and realized that these were the kind of people that I wanted to care for my dog. I also told myself to be more reasonable - dogs don't care about fancy decorations in their kennel - they care that it's dry, clean, safe and warm. Well, it is all those things. There was almost no smell. When we picked up our dog, she was happy and everything was fine. They told us about how she had done while she was there so I know they pay attention to the dogs. I wish that our dog had come home with a bit less pent-up energy but she is a high energy dog (border collie) and it's difficult to wear her out even in the best of times. I'll recommend Holiday Kennels to all my friends.
Muddy Paws has been awesome! Claire is great to work with, and my dog is always exhausted and happy after a walk/run with her. Whether it's dog walking, housesitting or more, I would not hesitate to recommend Muddy Paws!
Another trip out of town (December, 2018) - 5 days again. I've used Laura double-digit times now over the past couple years, and it's always a 5-star experience. Once again my Lab-Rottie mix "Coral" - this time with her new 'little sister', the 4-pound Papillon "Jazzie" - became part of Laura's home. Coral loves Laura, and went into the house eagerly. And when I returned, both were happy as clams and completely at home - and in love with Laura! As I've written before, Laura doesn't have a 9-5 job so she's home to do THIS job. And she does it like an owner would want it. Coral loves it, and I appreciate it!
Beyond pleased working with Jennifer A. She took such incredible care of our three Guinea pigs. I have very high standards when it comes to cage cleanliness and when I got back from a week long vacation, their cage was in better shape than when I’m the one cleaning it. She took exceptional note of all the little details, and on top of everything - when my flight was delayed, she confirmed that she could be there for them an extra day not 10 minutes after I messaged. I will absolutely be using muddy paws, and hopefully specifically Jennifer, for all my pet sitting needs in the future. Their app is seamless as was communication, and I got detailed updates and pictures every visit. 6/5 stars!
Laura is completely professional and trustworthy. She has taken care of my pups for years before moving to Eugene (I live in Austin) and was always 100% reliable. She sends texts and great photos and stays in constant communication. You can TOTALLY trust your beloved pet(s) with Muddy Paws/Laura Kesten. My pups were always calm and peaceful upon my return so I know they were given lots of Loving Care and Attention.
Laura and team are the Best! Working with Muddy Paws was a wonderful experience and very professional. We have a cat who is like our little baby and leaving her is usually a stressful experience for us. But Laura made it so easy for us to feel comforted with her followup with us while we were away. We were texted everyday and given a complete update. We highly recommend Muddy Paws to anyone and we will be using them from now on whenever we go out of town. Thanks again!
Well I called twice to get a time to watch my pup, i was gonna be in oregon at thend of werk and over the weekend, left a message and guess they did not want my business. So will not bother with them next time I am in the city there.
Laura and the wonderful pet sitters she works with are INCREDIBLE. She loves and values my dog, and I can see the care she has for all the pets she watches... she appreciates each of their individual personalities and preferences. She makes sure the animals that interact get along well with one another (doesn't allow aggressive or sick animals). She keeps them safe, feeds them according to their schedules, exercises them thoroughly. My dog always comes back from Muddy Paws tired and happy and safe, and I myself appreciate how responsive and helpful Laura is to me as well. I cannot recommend her and her group enough, for daycare and boarding and in-home care.
Thrilled with Laura, her excellent service, and truly every aspect of our experience with Muddy Paws! She not only took exceptional care of our beloved pets -Mau, 4 yr old tuxedo cat, and Dala, 9-month-old Chihuahua- she also provided extras like texted photos and videos of our sweet animals having fun and being loved on, came to the house for a free consultation, brought our garbage cans up from the street on garbage day, and just generally made us feel 100% comfortable that our pets and home were in excellent hands. We were able to completely relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Laura had everything covered at home.
Laura does a great job caring for our cat! I really appreciate that she sends photos of him during visits which helps us feel at ease. She's very easy to work with and reliable and has the best price to top it off.
I recently and somewhat unexpectedly adopted a puppy from a local humane society and needed someone to spend time with her while I was at work. Emma Jaramillo graciously and enthusiastically accepted the job and she was amazing! She worked with me to make sure Hazel was happy, less stressed and successfully transitioned from the humane society into my home. Emma was patient (mostly with me) and loving as she took care of Hazel. I can't say enough good things about her and Muddy Paws.
