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 & Nataki
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 & Thomas
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 & Susan
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.

Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Tracy
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Joel and Esme
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!
Jenner
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Jacqueline
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
Tiffany
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Erin
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Evelyn & Jeff
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Katie
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
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!

Our dog has been going to Paws Daycare for almost 3 years. Prior to that we used Paws at Home for our cats. We keep going back because of the friendly staff and the level of care and attention they give our fur babies. Our dog gets regular grooms from their groomers that are scheduled on the days he’s booked into daycare, which makes it so easy. Couldn’t recommend them more!
An aculade to paws pet care, Hamilton. They collected a scruffy long haired Jack Russell with very long toe-nails, and returned him a little later in a perfectly groomed condition. I am very pleased in all aspects of the groom. MARK was punctual and professional which was much appreciated. I highly recommend paws pet care to any owner wanting excellent grooming, care and attention for their pet. Happy customer Ross P
Sarah and her team are absolutely amazing! They take such good care of my pup. She is always excited to go to daycare and comes home so calm. I never have to worry about her she is in the best hands. Highly recommend their grooming services and overnight holidays as well. They are the complete package. Thank you so much for all you do!
This is such a lovely caring centre ! They really make this such a positive experience for all dogs , Thank you for your kindness
It has been a few years since my dog stepped into daycare. And guess what? My dog still loves it. Staff are friendly and passionate about their dogs. And I get a photo of my dog each time we go to daycare~ Can't find a better place to trust my dog to.
Exceeded my expectations. Staff were lovely and welcoming. Did a great job of our slightly anxious (when it comes to grooming) pooches.
Ollie is a six month Jack Russell with so much energy since going to Paws weekly for a few days he is such a neat pup at home he absolutely loves Paws I can’t rate their understanding and care high enough 🐶🌟🌟🌟 …
For the first couple of days, I'd drop her off and she wanted to come home. After third or fourth day, I'd turn into Paws driveway and she was jumping around in the car excited to get out. After a week we didn't have to use the harness, she is straight in the door and happy to be with her friends and family staff. Highly recommend Paws.
100% recommend this doggy day care! The big and small dogs are in separate areas which gave me huge peace of mind. Photos are taken daily which I love! And my dog came back after her first day so happy and wanting to go back!
My girl attends daycare regularly and has just spent her first 3 nights with the team also. Hard to put in words how much it means knowing I have these guys to help look after her and it is the biggest comfort knowing she is so happy there and has so much fun. They have helped me socialize and settle her, give me fantastic feedback and advice and show so much care and love to every dog that attends. The facility is amazing and the team are outstanding! Cannot recommend enough!

Cosy Paws have been beyond incredible for my dog. They go above and beyond for all their furry friends and treat them like their own family. I can’t thank them enough for everything they do. Love daily facebooks posts too!
We have just had our dogs with Cozy Paws for 2 weeks. Amazing care taken with our 2 dogs. These people know what they are doing and really look after your pet as if it were their own and take care of individual needs. The dogs had a great time. A huge thank you to all the team.
Our fur babies have sooo much fun here. They love the place and the staff. Amazing, safe and enriching environment, incredible staff and super happy and tired fur babies. Couldn't ask for more. ❤️
Good service good information, nicely secluded for Gut Fawkes night. Perhaps a bit expensive then have been used to. $105 for about 30 hours with 2 small intact dogs. Attention yo detail and good after sale follow up
The most amazing team to look after your pooch. Thank you Jody, Colin and the team for looking after Odin and helping with his education.
The team genuinely care for the dogs and you can see the 'guests' having a great time.
Kind friendly helpful genuine interest in providing best care and plan to best suit etc for yr pet fur baby and go beyond the call of duty to help . Great listeners. Tilly loved her 1st overnite stay. Thankyou for yr genuine care.
I had to keep my dog for two weeks boarding. My dg absolutely loved it. Didn't miss us at all. The team are really friendly and caring.
Caring, genuine, well informed staff who can easily manage complex situations. Very grateful to have found them. Thank you so much for taking Jack

We love going to Hamilton Hounds! Nyla absolutely loves going in the morning and would cry in the car to get out and rush into meet all her boyfriends/furfriends and the staff😂 Honestly the best facility as the staff really gets to know your pups and personality. If there were any issues, they would contact and talk about it with you. At the end of the day Nyla loves her treat and when we get home she's knackered out. Bonus when they update on socials and you see your pup having a blast! Would 100% recommend HH if you need a daycare for your pups to have the best time. Thankyou HH team for looking after Nyla🐶💙
Best doggy day care in the Tron! The team are amazing and incredibly passionate about what they do. They know each dogs name, their individual needs and show genuine love to all the dogs. Our girl is so excited to go hang out with all her friends, she can hardly contain her excitement on the drive there, and is exhausted at the end of the day. "Woof, woof, woooooooofff, woof, woof" - Luna
My lab Ziggy loves HH, she starts squeaking and getting excited way before we get there and tries to drag me through the door to see all her friends, canine and human! Has the time of her life judging by her toofy grins in the photos.
Hamilton Hounds genuinely care about your dogs and will do whatever is best for your furbaby. Even if that means losing money by letting you know that doggy daycare isn’t the right place for your dog! I appreciate their warmth, the love they show every dog in their care, their sense of humour and flexibility. The groomers are also very good, and responsive to feedback. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else.
Really caring, friendly and dog loving staff. The opening hours accommodate all schedules. We couldn't imagine taking our spoilt doggy anywhere else and she'd no doubt put her paw down if we did lol. Highly recommend.
Absolutely love HH, my girl loves the daycare and her overnight stays. HH has amazing opening hours but most of all the staff are absolutely brilliant.
Have been bringing my lab here for a number of years now for both day care and over night stays with no problems. Called over the weekend to book her in to stay overnight and was rudely declined by a lady on the phone saying that my dog needed to be crate trained which she is and that my dog would cause issues with other dogs as it has been too long since she has stayed there overnight. I was amazed as we have never had any issues with this place in the past and a bit of a shame as my dog loves it there.
My wee Kevin loves Hamilton Hounds. He’s so happy and relaxed, he thinks he owns the place and all of the staff. All of the staff are lovely and obviously love dogs. Kevin has stayed overnight, been groomed and is a frequent daycare users. All services have been amazing. Happy dog, happy fur parents 😍😍 …
We have been taking our dog there for daycare since he was a puppy, he loves it and is always happy to go. Also, so easy to get him groomed while he's there for the day. Staff are friendly and experienced, especially in the big dog area where our dog goes to. Opening hours and days to suit lots of different work/schedules, not just regular 9-5.
They are amazing. We have a pitty that is quite reactive with people but she absolutely loves all the staff in Hamilton Hounds. They are such nice, kind people. I would absolutely recommend them.

Jane is a passionate, caring and super responsible dog lover/carer. My wee, highly- reactive rescue shihzu cross adores Jane, in fact she howls with joy and expectation when her truck pulls up! Remarkably, Jane has taught her how to pack walk with little to no reaction! Quite an achievement for a brutally damaged, fearful dog! I can't recommend Doggydayout and Jane more highly for a safe, loving and fun dog environment.
Thoroughly recommend! My dog had so much fun and came home ready for dinner and bed - thanks again Jane!
