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.

Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
David was a great sitter for our dog! It was just him for this sit. He was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. He visited the apartment before we left to meet our dog and talk with us, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was in good hands. He sent us updates throughout the stay, and left the apartment in great condition. While our dog is on the older side, he can still be a handful at times, but David didn’t seem to have any problems. Would definitely recommend David for any future sit!
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Cristina is simply the best house/pet sitter that we have ever had. She is responsible and dependable and an experienced dog owner. Our Wheaten, Bridie, adores her and misses her when she leaves.
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!! Lisa
You could not ask for better house and pet sitters than Ken and Jane! Before the sit: Communicating with Ken and Jane prior to our scheduled week went smoothly. They were proactive about planning. They came out to the house prior to the sit and spent a couple of hours going over things about the house, meeting the pets, and getting familiar and comfortable with everything. They were delightful people to meet; I was wishing for a couple of days to just hang out and play tourist with them! During the sit: Ken and Jane sent me daily updates and photos of their outings with my pups and with their interactions with my kitties. I appreciated how they chose the sit partly because of their love of exploring rural areas, because that's what I have here! They were perfectly suited to my home and pets. Ken absolutely loves cats and is an intuitive and experienced kitty-handler. Jane really bonded with one of my kitties; both of them made great progress with all three of my cats, each of which is pretty shy at first, and one can be a real problem child. They worked very hard to give love to each pet and ensure that each felt calm, happy, and cared for. They spend tons of time outdoors with my border collie/retrievers. The dogs had daily "spa time" after walks and outdoor playtime, having their long fur brushed on my front porch (which the dogs love!). They sent me happy photos every day. If anything came up, they just handled it. They really seemed to enjoy their adventures and the pets each day, which made my time away that much more enjoyable. After the sit: I was thankful to have some time with Ken and Jane when I returned from my trip. All the pets were calm, happy, and healthy when I got home. Ken and Jane had left me a detailed note about that last day to make re-entry easy. They sweetly left a thank you note and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table also (a very sweet and unexpected surprise!). They seemed quite sad to leave my "kids;" Jane left with tears in her eyes, saying goodbye to my dogs. We've kept in touch since the sit. My whole house really misses them. Oh, and the house was immaculate and plants all watered (inside and out) when I got home! If you're looking for kind, competent, caring, organized and responsible people to care for your home and pets, invite Ken and Jane!

I absolutely LOVE the dog nanny and my dog does too. She gets so excited every time she’s gone and comes back home nice and tuckered out. I love how they have little pools for the dogs to play in when it’s super hot out so they can still play outside while staying cool, and the inside of the facility is always nice and fresh on the summers and cozy warm in the winters. All the staff here is also so passionate and caring for all the dogs and it really shows in how well they are looked after. Best day care and boarding spot around!!
Our family loves The Dog Nanny. The Dog Nanny is my dogs favorite place in the world, plus the staff is also great with communication. Couldn't recommend them enough for canine boarding or daycare.
My dog rusty been coming here for a long time and he absolutely loves it. He’s the happiest dog in the word whenever I pick him up. I’ve talk to a girl named Lila and she was the nicest and most helpful person I’ve met THANK YOU DOG NANNY
I have been using the dog nanny for 14 years with two dogs. When Surf died last year at 13, I received the most beautiful, kind and thoughtful note, that I will always treasure. The note reflected what I already knew - Surf was treated like royalty and they knew her personality and preferences so well. Disco still attends the Dog Nanny and I know she is equally well cared for. The staff are simply superb!
I can’t say enough good things about the staff at the Dog Nanny. They truly care about the dogs and their safety and well-being. My dog is 6 and has been going to daycare and boarded several times since he was under a year old. They pay close attention to the needs of my dog and he absolutely LOVES being there and comes home tired and happy every time!
I would not recommend this daycare. They seem untrained in handling dogs with energy. Instead of allowing them to play and burn off steam, they call you to come pick them up. They called to give me an update and told me they loved my dog he was doing great, and he could stay for the entire day. Not even 15 minutes later they called back saying they needed me to come pick him up immediately because he was overstimulated and he was not allowed back! This defeats the purpose of bringing your dog to daycare for exercise and socialization. This bad experience kept me from trying another daycare for over a year. Since then, my dog has been to two different daycare's where they adore him and have nothing but positive things to say about him. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for daycare services.
The dog nanny is fantastic! My dog absolutely loves it there and always comes home happy and exhausted. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive. Highly recommend!
My dog has been going to the Dog Nanny for around a year and a half now and he loves it! They really are a top-notch organization and take very good care of all the doggos. I'm always happy to see my little guy run into the play yard straight away every morning to play with all his little buddies .
We signed up for the dog walking services offered by the Dog Nanny back in January after hearing great things on Facebook and from word of mouth of friends. We cannot be happier with how amazing all of the walkers are. My 2 year old rescue can be very timid of other people at times. Cortny scheduled a meet & greet with us prior to starting walking to ensure Peyton (and I) would feel comfortable! Cortny walked Peyton for the first several times to get her into the routine of having someone come into our house and take her, then we gradually transitioned into allowing other walkers in. I did not even think of doing it gradually, but Cortny wanted to ensure Peyton was comfortable. I work more than full-time in my office and sometimes feel like a bad Dog Mom not be able to be around more often during the work week. Cortny, Jodi, and Lindsey have helped relieve that stress completely. They are more than flexible with scheduling and have saved me several times when I had a last minute meeting arise to go take Peyton out. After several weeks of walking and loving the Dog Nanny Staff, we decided to do daycare 2 days a week and walks 3. I truly could not imagine life without these people! Everyone who we have interacted with at the Dog Nanny has been nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend the Dog Nanny to anyone considering dog walking and/or daycare for their pup. (First photo from walking, second photo from daycare)
Amazing people and we feel 100% confident of the care our dog receives either with daycare or boarding.
Erin is attentive, caring, loving, and responsible. Her home is a happy place for all creatures great and small!
Hi fur-children parents! Ive very sick, my Dr's on test result called me aft.hrs. to say I needed to go inpatient urgently for treatment. "No, I can't I've my Serv.Animal" and I wouldnt be able to take him out of hospital room for walks" Dr: You don't understand you need to go in! Knowing the extreme affects of my condition-I still refused but promised, Promised my doctors I'd go in 1ce a caretaker found. I remembered this buisiness but not name or other. I called too many and e-mailed the "Internet Ads" for local caregivers- None out of dozens could do a several day straight plan., and some said yes and then bailed out the day before we agreed for them to come. I searched memory and remembered F & T when I met them, gave me there card..it was on a fridge under magnet (the magnet is my dogs likeness) I reached out in agony/distress as it was now 6 days beyond medical needs... Fast forward, a couple of texts, a phone call from F & T and she came and helped me, gave Love & Care to my bff, my helper, my Buddy..and I then only then went overnight for urgent procedures... Some said they would have "kenneled or pet-hoteled" there dog, I said "No-way, I'll never leave anyone behind!" My dog is my lifeline, Regina said "You need to take care of you, so you can take care of him!" She then said, I got this, whilsdt' securing "Precious cargo", I turned from her and "Lil Buddy" quickly as I didnt want them to see me cry. Real men don't cry, "and pigs don't fly!" That night in hospital, I got a selfie of Buddy wrapped in his fav.blanket, with F & T staff smiling face to face with him. That message/photo were "medicinal". The great discomfort I had during treatment suddenly hurt less, and I could get the rest needed. I can't speak to other reviews or experience however I Can speak to the outmost Passion, Compassion, and Sincerity love from F & T. Bumpy road ahead yes, I know who to call when I need the help. Most sincerely, me and my besty, D.
After reading soooo many positive reviews, I was really excited thinking we found someone to care for our dog while we are away at times. My problem has been they won't call/text/email me back! Perhaps they dont have enough staff to handle their popularity? Of the 4 times I have reached out, I only received a response once. At that point, it was too last minute to proceed with care. I understood that, and tried again recently for another trip. No response to text or voicemail. Disappointed
They really love your pets almost as much as you do!
Let me start off by saying I recommend booking unique for all your pet care needs! My pup Gucci, my partner and I had the pleasure of meeting unique and we all automatically felt so comfortable with her! She’s such a kind, responsible, and hard working woman! My pup loved her right off the bat which is not always the case when he meets new people so I was so happy to see him getting along perfectly with her. We had unique house sit for the first time for about 6 days while we were on vacation and have no complaints WHATSOEVER! It was the first time someone stayed with our pup alone and we couldn’t have felt any more secure 🙏🏾 She constantly kept us updated and sent us pictures of him, checked in and let us know when she would be stepping out. Finding a dog sitter for our pup had been so hard due to his separation anxiety but now I’m sooo grateful we found unique and her services! We now have peace of mind and won’t have to worry about finding someone to watch our pup. He made a new friend and now we have someone we can trust to take care of him whenever needed! To anyone nervous about having your dog boarded or babysat at your house don’t hesitate to check out Unique and her services because you won’t regret it! ✨
Great experience! It’s very tough nowadays to find a consistent puppy sitter. Finally found one who my wife and I have been using and will definitely stick with. Unique is very efficient, punctual and flexible. She is also very caring and affectionate towards our puppies. The chemistry she has with our puppies was amazing. My wife almost got jealous at one point because of how loving our puppies got with Unique while we were away. They just loved her and really enjoyed her company and care. My wife and I are now very comfortable with any sudden trips because we can alway count on Unique! One last thing, you won’t need to have a camera in your home while Unique watches your puppies because the amount of photos and videos we received from her was all we needed.
Unique is 100% the first person I reach out to when looking for care for my dog, Nala. I came across her business by chance, on a referral from another dog owner. I had out-of-country travel coming up and scheduled a meet-and-greet with Unique (she was super responsive and got back to me with her availability and sign-up process within a day). Nala can take a minute to warm up to certain people, but took to Unique so quickly that I had no second thoughts about leaving Nala at her home for a week. Unique sent regular updates and photos of Nala's antics. While I consider myself a dog lover, Unique is on the dog whisperer level. My only worry was whether Nala would still want to come home with me when I got back (ha, but actually). Maybe most importantly, Unique noticed some plaque buildup on Nala's front incisors that I'd missed. This ended up being an issue to take care of with our vet and it was something I wouldn't have known to look for. As a first time "dog mom", I've quickly learned how meaningful it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Grateful for Unique's warm presence and proactive, playful care of Nala - 100/10 recommend for massive peace of mind next time you're looking for boarding.
We travel often and have used several pet care providers to board our Our 9 year old lab. We were referred to Unique and what an incredible stroke of luck. Unique is a sweet, kind and enterprising young woman who is building a Unique brand (pun intended) out of her home in Lawrence. Her love for animals was apparent from our first meeting and her daily pics captured the walks, naps and doggy smiles. We will not hesitate to use Unique the next time we travel, based on her service, I just hope she's not too busy.
EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!! I highly recommend Unique. She is extremely friendly, professional and caring. Following our initial meeting I knew she was the right pet sitter for us. Our 8 month-old Bichon immediately warmed up to her as if she was a family member. She kept us updated daily with photos and videos of our Jovi. At one point we started getting jealous. Unique and Kennedy had pictures with our dog posing effortlessly for the camera which made us envious as we have never been able to get him to pose for pictures 😂 We will definitely will be using Unique again and HIGHLY recommend her services
Couldn't ask for a better pet sitter! Unique is amazing, and as you'll gather from most of these reviews she is punctual, caring, communicates well, and actually takes the time to get to know your pup. I'll be honest I was a little nervous leaving my Reg with someone new, as I had ran into some issues with the previous facility that I had used all 4 years of his, Reggie's, life. These troubles and my concerns left me in a rock and a hard place since I had an upcoming trip and all Reggie had known was his prior care arrangements. Unique took all of those worries away from me, and I could tell from the first meet and greet she was going to be great. Unique surpassed my expectations, it was as if Reggie had known her all his life. I've never seen my boy look so at ease, and just happy to be somewhere. It was as if he went to an aunt's or something. I could go on raving about the loving and expert care she gave my boy, if you need a pet sitter DO NOT HESITATE to book with her. She provides multiple picture updates of your fur baby, she is honest with how they are doing in her care and how they are adjusting. She is thorough in her assessments, and realizes not every dog shares the same needs as the last. Again I could go on and on I was so impressed with the services I received. I will be booking with her again soon.
This is the 3rd time that I leave Tyson with Unique because I’ve developed the utmost trust and confidence with her. There’s not a doubt in my mind that Tyson is in the best hands while I’m away. In the past, before Unique I never wanted to leave because I was not sure who to leave Tyson with but that’s not an issue anymore :) Unique always updates me with how Tyson is doing, how he’s eating and behaving. She sends pictures and videos of him playing or just relaxing and that’s incredibly comforting while I’m outside of the country. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for the best pet sitter. Thank you again Unique for everything, and I’ll be sure to message you again for some weekend visits with Tyson 😊
Unique is great and someone I will be booking going forward. I was looking for someone to board my dog since I was going on vacation and I was referred by a friend . I was very nervous because it was my dogs first time staying in some else’s home and also being dog sat by someone for multiple days. My dog is also a crazy puppy with lots of energy but unique did great! She always kept me updated and sent me a bunch of pictures which helped with being nervous. She would take him to the dog park to let him get out some of his energy and she didn’t care about the time or weather. She treated him like her own and took such great care of him while I was away.
Absolutely thrilled with Unique Pet Services! They provided top-notch care for my babies Pablo, Milo, and McKenzie. The team's attention to detail, love for animals, and reliable service made my experience outstanding. My fur babies were happy and well-cared for. Highly recommend! 🐾 #HappyCustomer #UniquePetServices #GratefulPetParent …
Our dog is not able to stay in a kennel anymore, but we were very fortunate to find Uniques Pet Care with a recommendation from a friend. She stayed in our house with our dog Sammy while we're on vacation. It was perfect for Sammy because he was in his own home and Unique was able to keep him on his schedule is including feeding and walks. From their first meet n greet, Sammy was comfortable with Unique. She has a great way about her and clearly loves dogs! I highly recommend Unique's Pet Care!
Amazing service! You can tell she really loves animals, which is hard to come by and extremely reassuring. The only problem is that the dog is more excited to see her than me!
Courtney is truly an animal lover, so caring and responsible!!!!
Jennifer is awesome! She helped so much with our fear based aggressive fur baby and gave us lots of insight on our dog’s body language and how to control certain situations. Jennifer is a professional who knows what she is doing and also a joy to be around. I’m sure you will be very happy with the training she offers. My fur baby has been doing great since working with her. I highly recommend working with Jennifer!
We absolutely love Peace of Mind. My husband and I moved to the area recently and had to part with our long time cat sitter, but we are so glad we found Jennifer and Linda. They have made going away and leaving our cat Holly so relaxing knowing that she is in such good hands. Linda sends an update with tons of pictures every time, and Holly looks so relaxed when we come home. We will always use them, and thank them sincerely!
I recently rescued my 6/7 year old husky, Ariel, off a euthanasia list in Texas. Prior to being in a shelter, Ariel was a stray. Ariel arrived and didn’t know her name or basic commands and resource guards and is leash reactive. I have another dog who is 11 lbs (Ariel is 75 lbs), so I knew I needed immediate professional help for everyone’s safety and happiness. My groomer highly recommended Jennifer Chubb/Peace of Mind Personalized Pet Care Solutions. Jennifer helped us with training techniques to teach Ariel her name and basic commands, and worked very hard with us on the resource guarding issue. Ariel is an older dog who clearly had to fight for food on the streets, so Jennifer’s calm, loving, and rewarding training style helped my pup thrive. When we first started training you couldnt take a step near Ariel if she had something she viewed as hers without her growling and lunging. Jennifer gave us training tools to build trust successfully. I also learned very valuable techniques to help with Ariel’s leash reactivity. This was a life saver since I lived in a condo when I rescued her and couldn’t avoid other dogs. I took my other dog to a different place for training and it wasn’t for us because it was negative reinforcement style. Jennifer’s positive reinforcement method works so well for my rescue (and my other dog loves to join in and thrives from positive reinforcement as well). I highly recommend Jennifer to everyone! She got my 6/7 year old husky to change her ways and successfully teach her new things so she can thrive in her new environment, so she can absolutely help your dog!
I reached out to Jennifer for help and support in training my anxious dog to wear a basket muzzle for vet visits. And I'm so glad I did. Jennifer is extremely supportive, listening to my concerns, and creatively troubleshooting each step of the training process. She's met my dog where he's at, using positive reinforcement methods and never forcing anything on him. It's clear Jennifer loves and cares for all of the animals she works with. And she's very skilled at what she does! My dog is still working towards being comfortable in a muzzle (which she's affectionately named his "Party Hat"), and Jennifer continues to be a source of support and guidance each step of the way.
Peace of Mind Pet Care took amazing care of our 2 cats while we were out of town recently. Our pet sitters, Jennifer and Karen, were professional, friendly, trustworthy and reliable. We met for an initial consultation to discuss our service needs and it didn’t take long for our curious kitties to get acquainted with their pet sitters. Jennifer and Karen kept us informed with email updates and photos after every visit. We loved these communications! We found it hugely reassuring to see our cats were in safe hands, well cared for and getting loads of love and attention while we were away. Everything was done with the welfare of our cats in mind and unexpected situations were taken care of with no trouble at all. We really appreciated that Peace of Mind also took care of tasks around the house in our absence too, opening and closing blinds and taking out the trash. Peace of Mind Pet Care lives up to its name in every sense. We were highly impressed with the pet sitting service they provided, the level of detail, care and attention surpassed our expectations. We truly are satisfied customers and plan to use the pet sitting service again.
I have 4 cats, 1 that needed meds and special food, 2 chinchillas, and 2 mice, all different care needs, and didn’t know who to ask to care for them for our vacation. Jennifer, at Peace of Mind Pet Care did such an amazing job, way way way better than just ask a neighbor, I feel like someone was really taking care of them she sent me photos, and updates everyday and when little unexpected situations can up she took care of them and I was thankful she was there. She keep things clean and spent time with them too, you can really tell she loves animals. Peace of Mind is a perfect name for this pet service because that’s how I felt during my vacation.
I found Peace of Mind Pet Care when I needed someone to come in for two visits per day with my little Labradoodle puppy. Jenn and Kristin came for the initial consultation. I loved that they immediately got down on the floor to better interact with my tiny (3 pound) puppy. They both obviously adored dogs and we felt like she was in good hands. It is now a few months later and I can honestly say I feel so lucky that I found Jenn and her company. She and her employees are very reliable and dependable. My puppy is ecstatic to see them. Jenn is a knowledgeable and talented dog trainer. She kept encouraging us to socialize our puppy (after appropriate immunizations). We have also had 2 training sessions with Jenn. The first was focused on nipping and within a few days the problem was essentially resolved! Connect with Jenn - you and your furbaby will be happy you did.
I met Jennifer through a FB marketplace transaction. I was buying a used crate for my new puppy. After she gave me some great advice about potty training, she mentioned that she is a trainer! So I had her come to the house to help with some training assistance. She was super helpful is training us! And the really interesting thing is that Boomer immediately understood that Jen was the pack leader. I then reached out for help with a harness for walking, as I was having lots of trouble with pulling. Jen's suggestion was spot on and we solved another training issue. I can't say enough good things about Jen's training skills. I'm so glad I know where to go when things come up.
Great experiencePeace of mind is a fantastic pet sitting company. Extremely reliable and always on time during our window of service. We have daily visits with Desiree for 2 of our dogs. Recently one of our dogs got very sick during the day, I noticed on our puppy cam that she was drooling excessively and shaking. Desiree arrived to our house soon after to find out Fiona had vomited and had diarrhea all over her pen. She immediately got on the phone with me to make a plan and offered to either stay with Fiona until I arrived home, or take her over to the emergency vet (almost 30 min away!) I made the decision to meet her at the emergency vet, she was so kind to sit with Fiona and give details to the vet while I rushed over. It is truly a Peace of mind to have a pet sitter that loves and cares for my fur babies like they are her own. I cannot recommend peace of mind enough. She also has won over my sometimes grumpy chihuahua in record time. We have had the greatest experience with Peace of Mind.
Jennifer and her team were a dream. Our cat was so so spoiled at our home and our dog LOVED his stay at camp! Cant recommend them enough. Super easy to book and we kept in touch with constant communication/pictures. We were so relaxed on vacation, and our pets were so happy with their sitters!!! We will definitely be using their services again and again.
Under My Wing is the best! They are so good to my animals. They treat my babies like they are their own.
These folks are the best! I have been using Under My Wing of Belmont, MA for the past seven years, and the service is great. I can always be sure that my pets are well cared for, and that everything is in tip-top shape.
They are the ONLY dog walkers I trust with my show agility Australian Shepard... my dog loves Joe and he takes great care of him when I am traveling.
Great Pet sitters. They really care. Reasonable prices and great service !
I had a hard time finding someone to take care of my cat (Luna), before my vacation. I was calling and texting people and they never answered back. Also I was very concerned about leaving Luna alone. Until i found “Better Way Pet Sitting Service”. They were amazing! From the begging to the end, they were very professional, I was very satisfied with the services provided. They took very good care of Luna and that makes me feel comfortable knowing that someone was looking after her everyday. I recommend “ Better Way Pet Sitting Service”. You will have peace of mind knowing that, good people will be looking after your beloved pets.
We used A Better Way for the first time (twice!) in August and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable pet sitter. We recently took in a senior cat and needed someone to look after him during a couple trips we had planned. They took amazing care of him and we came home to a very happy and healthy cat both times. Michele (the owner) and Liz are super professional and loving pet sitters, who really go above and beyond to make sure your pet gets everything they need while you’re away. They do the basics like feeding and scooping litter; but also gave him daily brushing, played with him, and gave him lots of affection. They leave a daily report saying what they did and how our cat Nick was doing every day, which are really nice to read when you get home, and always responded promptly when we texted asking how things are going. They also took amazing care of our potted outdoor plants and 4 newly planted trees, in addition to taking in our mail every day and putting the trash and recycling on the curb for trash pickup. I felt much more relaxed knowing our cat and house were in good hands while we were away. I can’t recommend them enough!
I cannot say enough about Wendi and the ladies. They are all super. I have been a client for over 15 years with all my dogs. Wendi even stayed with me when I had to put my little Murphy down. You don't see that kind of service from many places today. My pets are like their own pets.
Best pet sitting in the area! They have a meeting with you to walk through your home as a new client to determine all of your pet's needs. Billing is sent to your email (which I really appreciate it). They provide detailed notes for every day they visit with pre-maid sheets that, to me, are truly wonderful to come home to. :D Best of all is their service and compassionate care. We had a family emergency recently, and Better Way Pet Sitting jumped in and was able to look after our cats. It was truly valuable to have a service we trusted when we needed it. So grateful to have access to them now and into the future!
The most important aspect of a pet care company is reliability, which you will get 100% with ABW. I used them frequently when I had knee surgery and couldn't walk my puppy, and continued with their services for the convenience of being able to stay at work through lunch. They always come exactly when they said they will and I love how they leave me notes after each visit! My pups were well taken care of!
I have been using ABW pet sitting service for almost 10 years. Wendi and her staff of pet sitters are top notch! I trust them completely with my dog, Brady which gives me great peace of mind while I am away or out for the day. I love the notes they leave describing the fun they had and providing important information about my dog. I truly feel like they really care about and love the pets they visit. They have become like a family to us. They are ALWAYS dependable, reliable, helpful, accommodating and above all they treat our dog so well. Wendi is highly selective when hiring pet sitters so I never worry if I have someone new. They are simply THE BEST!!
ABW is outstanding! The staff accommodates all types pets with their unique personalities & needs. Wendi, Michele, & Leslie have taken care of our diabetic older cats who needed injections 2 times a day and our current "scaredy cats" who now come out to see their care takers in our absence. The piece of mind is priceless, knowing our four footed family members can be well taken care of in their own home. Thank you ABW for 14 great years of service & care!
I have been using ABW for almost 5 years for my dogs and they have been nothing short of fantastic. In the beginning of looking for someone to take my dogs out in the middle of the day while I was at work, I was not super comfortable with someone being in my house while I wasn’t home let alone with my dogs! As soon as I met with Michele I felt at ease and you can tell both she and the great pet walkers/sitters at ABW instantly fall in love with your dogs (almost) as much as you are! Now I feel a sense of comfort knowing that ABW will be at my house because my dogs love them, they’re incredibly reliable and responsive. I’d be lost without the . I tell anyone I meet that has a dog that they should reach out to ABW for their pet sitting/walking needs!
We switched to ABW from another walker and we couldn't be happier! Scheduling is easy, price is fair and the they provide excellent, professional service. We have a fairly consistent walker who absolutely loves our dog and it makes me feel good to know he is getting love when she comes. Even when we do get someone else, he is still in good hands and he's loved everyone who has come. The additional touches like brining packages in and rolling the trash cans back to their spot on trash day really make the whole package so worth it!
A Better Way Pet Sitting Services is the absolute best. Wendi and her team have been taking care of my dog, Bentley for over 10 years. Wendi and her team provide the epitome of customer service. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate changing schedules on very short notice. More importantly, they are the most nurturing, caring, and trustworthy professional dog walkers. I trust them wholeheartedly to take the very best care of Bentley. Each visit is dedicated Bentley time (& he soaks it all up). I can tell by the cute yet very informative “Bentley visit reports” that Bentley is well taken care of and had a great time on every visit. Bentley’s walkers know him so well, they can also tell if he is perhaps feeling under the weather. They keep me informed via the visit reports and/or by calling me. I have seen Bentley with his dog walkers. It is heartwarming to see the mutual love between them. Bentley gets so excited to see and spend time with them. It is comforting to know that Bentley is in great hands and care with A Better Way. Wendi and her team treat and love Bentley as part of their family. There is no better way than A Better Way for taking care of your pets/loved ones.
Cindy is wonderful! She has been helping me with my dogs for over 20 years. Currently I have a very fearful female rescue who I would never take to anyone but Cindy. She comes out looking great and happy with her clip. Cindy is a true dog person and can handle any aspect of dog management - walking, boarding, grooming and overall loves what she does.
First time at Cindy’s with my toy Aussie and she did an amazing job. Not only was she able to get me in the following week, which was perfect because he was overdue for a groom. Cindy cut him down perfectly he is so cute! Pictures speak for themselves thank you Cindy! We will be back, might try doggy daycare one day.
Kirby was immediately excited to go to Cindy's for daycare. He has been going to her daycare for over a year - 1-3x per week. Cindy is always accommodating if I need to bring him extra days. He whines with excitement when we get close to her house and when I pick him up, he is so tired and ready to snuggle. Thank you so much for taking good care of my boy, Cindy!
My dog, Jack, absolutely loves going to daycare at Cindy’s! He is so excited when I drop him off, and he comes home happy and tired after a full day of playing with the other dogs :) I’ve also used Cindy for dog boarding and highly recommend her! She took great care of Jack.
Cindy offers a more personal approach to dog care with a private outdoor setting along with indoor accommodations which allow the dogs a laid back stress free environment. Cindy’s obvious love for dogs, professionalism and personal care are the reasons I bring my boy here
Cindy has the best doggy day care around! She is attentive, responsive, and friendly, and her day care is set up and run perfectly. Best of all, she loves dogs. She always take fun pictures of them and sends those to my wife and I, which we really appreciate! I don’t know what we would do without Cindy.
My dog has been going to Cindy for over 5 years. He looks forward to going on his daycare days. Her yard is large and spacious with fun things for the dogs to play with. Her basement is air conditioned and has several crates and beds where the dogs can take a break from the fun outside. She also does grooming, which my dog typically hated before going to Cindy. She always shares photos of their fun and even gives them presents at Christmas (owners included). Highly recommend her daycare to anyone looking.
Cindy has the perfect environment for dogs to safely play with a large fenced in yard and plenty of shade, she is an experienced groomer and I will not bring my Pomeranian anywhere else! My dog comes home happy and smelling good for weeks after being pampered! Highly recommend!
Cindy provides an excellent dog care services including daycare, grooming and boarding. It stems from her caring about the dogs she services and their owners. She is thoughtful, caring and respectful of each dogs and owners needs. In addition, she has thorough knowledge on dog care and discipline. I recommend her services.
Our dog Pip loves Cindy's! He was a fearful rescue when he started, and going to Cindy's with all his friends has helped him grow so much. He comes home from daycare tired and happy from playing all day. Cindy is communicative, takes great care of the doggos, and we're lucky to have her do what she does!
Tracey is simply amazing. She is incredibly reliable, and takes such great care of our pup. Provides great recommendations too. We’ve been with Wiggles and Jiggles well over a year and so lucky to have her!
Tracey is an amazing dog walker! She does a great job taking care of our elderly dog during the week while we are at work. She is very reliable and Cooper loves her!
All of our expectations were exceeded from day one. Tracey went above and beyond taking care of our dog Odin every day. She provided updates every time she stopped by, photos, and provided a level of commitment to Odin that we never expected. Tracey proactively helped socialize Odin, provided feedback on how he was acting around strangers, and made it clear that she truly loves animals. With my wife and I working full time, we never had to worry because we knew he was in good hands. He would look forward to his walks and always greeted Tracey with excitement. Tracey is extremely reliable, flexible, caring, loving, and trustworthy. Highly recommended! 10/10 experience.
Tracey had been taking care of our cats for over 12 years. She is so caring and we always feel confident that our cats are well cared for while we are away. She really goes above and beyond. Not only does she make sure our cat gets his daily eye drops, she has even reached out to us to let us know that our home was OK when there was flooding in the area.
Tracey is GREAT! She is always so friendly and enthusiastic with our cat Leo and he loves her. She takes great care of the house while we’re away (ie. clean litter box, bring in mail and packages). She is very professional and thorough when it comes to being on time every day and making sure the house is locked up well. Tracey is also great with communication, keeping us informed on what’s going, and has sent cute pics of Leo. We’ll hire her every time!
Tracey has been 'wiggling and jiggling' with our dog for over 7 years. She is reliable and truly cares about every pet she cares for. Our dog is completely in love with her and I can feel better about her longer days alone knowing she has Tracey coming by.
Tracey is awesome! I was referred to her by my best friend and have been relying on Tracey for almost 3 years now. My kitty loves her and my kitty is very shy... Tracey is reliable, trustworthy, and is always available when I need her. I’d definitely recommend!!
Tracey took great care of my two rabbits- one who needed a lot of special attention including eye drops and some cleaning. It was so good to have someone I could trust! She communicated really well with me and sent pictures. I can’t recommend her enough!
Tracey is a wonderful loving caregiver for our dog (son) Mason. Always there, very flexible and truly cares for loved ones like she is a family member. Tracey makes it possible for me to have piece when we always can't be there for Mason. SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!
Highly recommend, Wiggles and Jiggles Pet Care. Tracey is dependable, honest and an expert with dogs. We have used her service for over 8 years for our dogs and have never been disappointed.
