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.

Jeff
My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.
Natalie
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
Michael & Ashleigh
From her promptness to schedule a pre-sit call to her truly thorough tidying of our house, Stella was an amazing housesitter from start to finish!! She read all the info we put together ahead of time, and asked for clarification on just a few things which made us confident that the pup and the house were in good shape :) Stella was really gracious when we admitted to not having a coffee pot, and handling things calmly when there was an incident with street parking. Maybe most importantly though our dog Luke was calm when we came home. I think if future sitters are clear in their expectations around frequency of communication/photos and the dogs needs then Stella is the perfect person to exceed your expectations!
Alaina
Sharon was an excellent sitter who I knew was taking great care of my two dogs while away. She walked them, was a clean guest, and sent regular pictures and updates. I’d recommend her to anyone.
Jacqueline
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Lori
Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.
Ann
Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover. They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx
Andrew
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
Susan
Katrina and her family were amazing house sitters who took wonderful care of our dog. Our dog is reluctant to go on walks with new people, but the entire family pitched in and found ways to take her to the park. Her daughter developed a particularly close bond with our dog. Katrina communicated us frequently and we always felt reassured by her messages. We returned from our long trip to a spotless home and a beautiful cake in the fridge. What more could you want!
Sidney & Larry
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!

Only good things to say about Rhiannon! Her rates are affordable and her level of service and care is top notch. My cat took to her immediately and loved snuggling with her in my absence! I got daily updates and photos, giving me peace of mind and assurance that my cat was well cared for and loved. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again. 10/10 recommend!
Finding Rhiannon has been a true blessing for us and our fur family! Her kindness, professionalism, and thorough communication bring us so much peace of mind while we are away. Each of our 4 cats has some kind of bizarre special need, requirement or preference. All of our requests (and some were embarrassing to ask, lol) were met with a carefree "No problem!" response from Rhiannon. Needing the most care is our 18-year-old senior, Iommi, who has inflammatory bowel disease. When we are away, it is extremely stressful on her sensitive system. Rhiannon understands this completely and showers her with loving energy during every visit, and is able to pill her with ease. How comforting it is to receive photos and updates that all is well with Iommi and her partners in crime! In addition to fulfilling all of the quirky requests and needs of our motley crew, Rhiannon goes above and beyond the normal call of duty to make sure everything is in order when we return. When we walk in the door, everyone is so content that it seems like we never left! We trust Rhiannon like family, and really couldn't ask for more in a pet sitter. If you are looking for truly exceptional, loving care for your furry companions, we highly recommend Misty Mountain Pet Sitting!
We were referred to Rhiannon by a friend and couldn't be happier we crossed paths with her and Misty Mountain Pet Sitting! We have two CRAZY huskies but Rhiannon was so great with them. She set aside all my worries with her knowledge, kindness and professionalism. She checked in with us every day and truly cared for our pups. Look no further for a sitter. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
I can’t say enough good things about Rhiannon and the quality service she provides to our pets when we’re away. We’ve been using Misty Mountain for years now (multiple time a year and for varying amounts of time) and there’s no one I trust more to care for our three kitties. She’s reliable, caring, communicative and - better yet - our crew loves her. We’re always able to enjoy our time away knowing our furry family members are in good hands!
Rhiannon is a very caring dog sitter and trainer! She comes to your house to meet your pet and has lots of knowledge from years of experience.
Rhiannon is patient, kind, and goes above and beyond with customer service. Highly recommend Misty Mountain Pet Sitting !

Jeff and John are good fellas👍 We trust them with our entire pack when we go away vacations. We filled this entire quadrant with our livestock guardian dogs. They have 4 sections this size. And they aren't afraid to handle dogs that others might call dangerous either... That's an extra bonus! 👌 We'll never have a reason to go elsewhere. If you're looking for "pet spa" type of place you might want to look closer to the city. If you need a reliable and dependable place to house your real dog... You've found your place! 👍😉👍
We have used Willow Run Kennels a few times now and they dona fantastic job watching our doggo. The accomodations are very basic, but they are very nice and friendly there. They are our go to place when we need boarding.
My parents introduced me to Willow Run Kennel and I'm grateful they did. They used to bring their Shepherd here and I've begun bringing my own dogs. Picked up Pups today, they smelled fine, were well taken care of and John was able to give me a nice report of how they behaved at the kennel. I gave Jeff a list of my pup's medicine at drop off and they were able to keep up her steroid treatment. 👍🏻
I have been boarding my pets here for years. Very trustful and kind owners. My pet is always in great hands when left here. Zero behavioral issues when I pick them up. I will continue to use them for their services for years to come. I would 100% recommend them for kennel services to anyone. Thanks for your services!
Agree with CB on the prior review. Jeff and John are salt of the earth kind of people. They provide a clean, safe environment for your pet(s). We've been going there for years and trust them like family. Now if you're the kind of folks who like your pets to have access to TV and fine art on the wall during their stay along with pedicures and manicures, this place is not for you. But if your pets like fresh air and a safe, peaceful environment you will be pleased.
Great great people! Great with my dogs! Their kennels r always clean, you couldn't ask for a better safe place for your pets! I love this place and my dogs do too!!
WARNING!!! DO NOT BOARD YOUR DOGS HERE!!! If I could give Willow Run Kennels zero stars, I would - for negligence and mistreatment. We entrusted our two dogs to Jeff and John at Willow Run Kennel. When we dropped them off they both had a clean bill of health and were in great condition. We left multiple contact numbers with Jeff/John for them to let us know should the dogs need anything or should Willow Run need to contact us for any reason. Further, during our trip, we called to check up on the dogs and were told by John that they both were great and that everything was fine. However, when we picked them up - “great” and “fine” were the furthest from the truth. Both dogs were unrecognizable - they had lesions all over their bodies, and faces. We scheduled an emergency visit to the vet where the vet declared they were severely dehydrated, had bacterial infections, and mange. When we spoke to Jeff to ask how this could have happened, he brushed it off with excuses and blamed the situation on “misjudgment”. We trusted Willow Run Kennels with our precious dogs - two lives - and the neglect and abuse that our dogs experienced at the Kennel is incomprehensible and unforgivable. We truly have no words and are heartbroken by the way our dogs were mistreated. In addition to other actions we are taking we private regarding this matter, we want to tell others what happened so that you do not make the same mistake that we did. We would STRONGLY advise everyone to please STAY AWAY - for the sake of your animals. Do NOT board your pets here. Do NOT trust this place or these people.
Great place. Our lab mix has spend ~45 days there over the past few years. You can't beat the value. Now, if you're snoody, and expecting "fancy" then maybe you'd prefer the places that cost 4x a day. For us and our dog, this place is a God send! Jeff and family are great people, and the dogs are all fine and happy there.
Place is filthy and dogs don’t have food or water. Very tiny place for any exercise and dogs not happy. Possible animal abuse. Will never return. Father and son put on a good face, but dogs mistreated.
I trust Willow Run with our fur babies every time we leave town and I have for the last five years. Our pups actually get excited every time we hit the gravel road to the kennel!! They are reliable, consistent, and give the best care to animals.
