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!
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
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!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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.
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
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!
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
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.

My Labrador, Lucy, absolutely loves Camp Happy Tails!! The staff instills confidence, is knowledgeable and truly cares about each dog. The natural atmosphere on a mountain side has got to be a blast for Lucy! To top it off, on site grooming with lots of extra care makes this one of my favorite places For Lucy.
Lisa and her team are the nicest, most competent and loving dog caretakers. I always trust that my pup is in good hands. I have used her services for years and will always keep coming back to camp because I appreciate the quality care.
I dog sit regularly for someone who brought their dog here when I wasn’t available. They put an E collar on her dog while he was there and didn’t tell her until she picked him up. They claim he barked constantly but I’ve never had this issue int he two years I’ve watched this dog. Even at the beginning. In my opinion, you would at least call to get permission OR call with that update. Not wait until the dog is picked up and put it into the notes section of his stay. Poor service in my opinion.
Great place to leave your dog for a governor or daycare. They deliver and pick up your dog too which makes it way convenient! If your dog needs socialization with people or other dogs, this is the perfect place to send them! Trust worthy staff and great play area in the beautiful redwoods of Felton. I highly recommend camp happy tails for your dog!
I just want to take a minute say that Camp Happy Tails has been great. Lisa has been awesome as well as Courtney. Our little guy (not so little anymore) comes home so happy and worn out. And it's great how they post pictures on Facebook! Couldn't be happier to send our pup there!
Happy Tails is great! We have boarded our dogs there a few times and they love it. No cages and lots if play time with the other dogs. Highly recommend
I really appreciate the services and commitment this business provides for my furry friend while I'm at work.
After after 3 months of getting our dog used to being there periodically, we left her there for 10 days vacation just to get a call after second day to pick her up. They couldnt handle her.
Our dog always come back happy and clean when we board him here. Friendly staff who love dogs.
What an amazing, wonderful and trustworthy place to leave my loved one.
We feel beyond grateful to have found Redwood Romps/Deanna, whom delivers exceptional care to our fur babies! Deanna shows great love and compassion towards both us and our beloved animals. Her communication with us is outstanding. She is reliable and trustworthy as well as knowable in all things dog related. And without a doubt we would recommend her to family and friends! 5+⭐️
Deanna has been absolutely amazing! She’s reliable, trustworthy, a good communicator, knowledgeable on dog behavior and leads with love. She first came by to do a meet & greet & was very thorough in gathering information on my dog & his behavior. Before walks she would notify me when she was on her way and update me on how he’s doing including sending pictures. He could be very timid and anxious and she did a great job working with him to make him feel more at ease. She provides top notch service & I know that any pet in her care is in good hands. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a walker or sitter
Deanna from Redwood Romps has been a reliable, communicative and knowledgeable care taker for our dog Ruby during family trips. We are lucky to be able to rely confidently on the care Deanna provides. It has facilitated family travel and adventures that would have been impossible without good care. Cheers!
My first experience of Deanna was when she graciously took over walking my strong bumptious Aussie pup after I had broken my ankle. I was always confident that she would keep him safe and treat him with the same loving care she gives her own dogs. She has knowledge and experience that she shares happily with me.
Deanna has been walking my pup for 2 years now. She has been amazing with her and always keeps us up to date with what is going on during the walks. I love that twice a week I get a pic of my pup while I'm working, especially when I'm travelling and away from the family.
Deanna's service has been invaluable for our pack of 2 humans and 2 dogs. She is trustworthy, engaged, responsible, a great communicator, and a friend to our dogs. Really appreciate her daily communication, including photos, during longer petsits.
Deanna of Redwood Romps! is an ideal dog walker: sensible, loving, careful, and very professional. My dogs always look forward to seeing her and come home tired and happy. Her rates are reasonable and scheduling is easy and fairly flexible. She goes the extra mile to bring joy and ease to our multi-pet home.
Deanna, with Redwood Romps is very reliable and so very caring with our animals! Our dog, Ginger loves her and Deanna sends us pictures of her on their walks. If you are looking for someone to take care of your animals, I highly recommend Deanna!
Deanna is the best! She is such a treasure to have in our lives, especially Sunny’s. Sunny is a 5 year old dog who has the energy of a puppy. Deanna takes her for interesting walks where she has the opportunity to socialize safely and get some energy out. Deanna is very organized, responsive, and thoughtful also. Highly recommend Redwood Romps for your furry family’s needs.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Redwood Romps! Redwood Romps! are very dog savvy, easy to work with and flexible. I deeply love my dog and she has some special behavioral needs. I absolutely trust Redwood Romps to care for my pup like I do. It shows that Redwood Romps absolutely loves the work they do and there is nothing like working with a passionate, intelligent organization.
Winter does not get along with other animals, especially dogs. Heritage Kennels accommodated us, by keeping her safe and comfortable. Picked her up after an 8 day stay. All's good! Thank you Heritage Kennels.
Heritage Kennel is by far the best place my baby boy Ruckus stayed overnight. Thank you for the wonderful care you gave my baby. We will come back again. I highly recommend it ❤️❤️❤️
Heritage Kennel is our Santa Cruz "go to" location for our dog Chica when we are on vacation. Chica loves Hector and the staff and their care of Chica gives us peace of mind when we are out of town. We have been taking Chica to Heritage Kennel for over 5 years and have always been pleased. Heritage Kennel is the best value for high quality pet care in the Santa Cruz area.
Our dog is genuinely excited when we drop him off, and he never seems even a little traumatized when we get him back. I couldn't ask for anything more. 10/10
Pretty good kennel! My boxer stayed overnight and was her usual happy self when I picked her up. She also ate all her food while she was there, which she sometimes doesn’t. Pick up times weren’t clear enough, that I gave them one less star. It’s just a little ways outside of Santa Cruz and relatively easy to get to. I’d recommend this boarding kennel. Following that stay, I took my dog to Heritage again. This time didn't go so well. I stopped to pick the dog up early and no one was on site. Finally, someone came and when I asked who was watching the dogs he said "The camera's". I understand they are closed from 1-3 pm, but the facility shouldn't be left unattended. During this visit, my dog didn't eat and I wasn't told about it and nothing was done about it. I know she didn't eat bc all of her bones stuck out. She also had a large scratch across her abdomen and nothing was said about that either. I will not board my dog here again.
Been taking my dogs to Heritage Kennel for many years now. They have always taken good care of my dogs and are always friendly. Dogs are happy too!
We have been boarding our beloved Chihuahua at Heritage for roughly 7 or 8 years. He always comes back happy to see us (of course!) and in good condition. The kennels are clean, well kept and Hector requires all vaccinations to be current before accepting an animal. I have never had any complaints or issues. Good people. Good care.
Hector does a great job with my Lily who is shy. She also had an injured knee and later needed surgery and Hector was very careful with her. He comes out to get her when she goes for day-care. I highly recommend Heritage Kennel if you want to know you best friend is in good hands!
My dog Toby loves this place. He is always excited to go there. Unlike other kennels where we need to drag him in because he feels like we are abandoning him. Heritage Kennel is like family to him. He jumps out of the car when we get there and want's to run inside. They really take good care of him.
We have been taking our two large Boxers here for around 10 years. We use them exclusively whenever we go out of town which happens quite often since our family is spread out across the country. My dogs were just there for 15 days while we were on a trip to France. The dogs were happy and healthy when I picked them up. I would not hesitate to recommend this kennel to friends, neighbors, and family. They feed according to our instructions and administer medications as required. Overall a very good well run operation.
