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.

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
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!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
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.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
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.

My pup and I felt welcomed, and my 8mo old is 104lb and clumsy. Very reasonably priced, attentive, and really listened to my concerns and needs. My previous vet, the staff could care less when you walked in the door, and they were double the price on just about everything. They book way out, which is the only downfall, but now I know why it took a bit to get in. They're fantastic all around. Update: (pic 2 day post surgery, swelling starting to go down) Fisher just finished surgery there. Staff and doctors were super attentive, informative, and followed up if I had questions. Another great experience. Trust in my vet feels good!
I absolutely love Green Acres. Dr. K is such a compassionate and loving doctor and person. The staff at Green Acres has treated me and my pets like family. I had to unfortunately put my beloved cat; Ryan of 16 years old to sleep. Not only did Dr. K and the staff show me and my precious boy, empathy and love, but they did not even charge me for the service. Dr. K was familiar with Ryan's case and had been attentive and concerned. This center is by far the best out there. Not only are they extremely affordable, but they are extremely courteous and caring. I would never take my beloved pets anywhere else! Thank you, Green Acres, for all you do!
The receptionist woman with the bob cut should absolutely not being working with animals or the public in any regard. Several times she was condescending and rude. We were informed this morning to be there by 4pm to come and pick up our kittens. When I had shown up a bit early she had told me "I don't know who told you to come in at 4" along with "we didn't call you" in a snarky tone of voice. So had waited until 5:10 to go back like I was informed and the first thing I heard when entering the building was the same lady saying out loud "I'm just done with people today." When then taking the crates out to the car I was offered help by the same woman, who when I let her know my car was parked in the gravel parking spots told me to pull the car around because "I'm not walking that far." Who then went back inside after I had pulled the car around so why offer help at all? All of this combined is deplorable unprofessional behavior and again this person should not be working in an industry where she needs to talk to people. I would not recommend doing business with this place unless you'd also like to be spoken to as if you're no more than an inconvenience to this individual's day. * Edit I believe this woman's name was Nancy. 1 Positive thing about my experience here was Kate was above and beyond helpful and polite with setting up our appointment.
I went by recently to adopt a wonderful dog. The staff there was super nice and took time answering my questions. It looks like it's kept up very well and the dogs all looked great!
Best Pet Care in the world. Dr. K is thee best vet my fur babies have ever had. Nancy and the staff are compassionate, caring, true paw-baby-lovers. My Jacqueline, lived as long as she did because of Dr. K's care.
Can't speak highly enough of this place. Very thankful for their last minute affordable assistance they provided for my kittens leg amputation. Kind and supportive staff. I would definitely keep them for future medical needs and recommend them to any pet parent in need of a vet with a heart. Thank you Country Kennel. !
Rude and nasty people here . The owners only care about getting your money. They allow the dogs to fight and get injured. I took my cat here to be neutered and they held him for 10 hours and decided to preform the surgery 3 hours before actually giving him back. So he sat for 7 hours for no reason. I told the owner I changed my mind and wanted my cat back and they did the surgery anyway and returned him covered in urine to me. This was a horror house. Stay far away.
DrK is amazing caring loving compassionate and a true professional in her field. I wouldn't trust my pets to anyone else but Dr K!
Rita had a spa day with Miss Sara, who she adores! She feels like velvet, looks perfect and smells even perfect-er (lol). Thanks, Miss Sara! Rita also had a vet check by Dr. K! Updated 5/2/2024: Nelly had a check up and shots with Dr K today. I love how she approaches Nelly, with gentleness. She doesn't mind meeting her on the floor either. Nelly got a new ball and a smoothie (ice water lol) with Mom after the visit for being such a good girl!
Green Acres is blessed with Dr. K who performed dental surgery on my male cat, she is very good at explaining the process & answering questions. Dr. K is professional and her services are affordable to promote healthier pets in the community. My fur baby's teeth look great and he's doing well because the staff handled him respectfully given his high stress level. I am relieved that his oral hygiene is much improved. Thank you!
I first started to use Lori's service about 3 years ago. She was highly recommended because she is very skilled at what she does. She has been caring for my 2 dogs and 1 cat and based off her many years of being a VET Tech she really knows …
I last used Lori’s services in June of 2021. I was pleased with her service and let her keep a copy of the key to our apartment for future use. …
We were so fortunate to have found Lori Rae last year. We met her last summer and she immediately impressed us with her effortless way with animals, good aura, and positive attitude. She mentioned how she likes pets more than most people and we couldn’t agree more! She always sends texts and photos of the cats with a little update. Lori Rae is very respectful of the level of interaction you need/want. She also goes above and beyond with other petsitting plusses such as mail retrieval, watering plants etc. Her prices are very reasonable considering she spends a minimum of 40 minutes with the pets. As an added benefit she has been a veterinary technician since 1995. Her expertise and hands on experience caring for animals gives me great peace of mind while we are away. I know the cats enjoy her visits and are happy we have found a fun, trustworthy, and responsible pet sitter! I would recommend her to anyone in the Howard County area seeking excellent pet sitting services.
