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.

Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
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.
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!
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!
Truly The Best House sitters Ever!!! Shannon, Travis and their son were absolutely terrific. I’m so lucky to have had the genuine pleasure of meeting them. Very warm, generous, open and loving people. My dog Wolfie usually barks at men who come in the house and I was a little worried about how he would be with Travis, but I had nothing to fear because within seriously 1 minute from Travis walking in the door, Wolfie was giving him kisses on the lips! I was so happy to receive their updates and photos and videos of my pets while I was away. They really went above and beyond taking terrific care of my many, many furry and feathered friends. When I got home, the place was sparkling clean, all linens laundered and beds made and they even left me sweet little surprises. I would welcome The Exums back with open arms anytime and highly recommend them.
Jamie was a lifesaver! Our confirmed sitter canceled just greater than 2 weeks out from our trip, and after just a short chat I could tell that she was ideal for our home and dogs. When we had a Covid exposure just before leaving for our trip Jamie didn't miss a beat. We did a hand-off of the dogs and home outdoors to keep her safe. We unfortunately had another exposure just before returning home, so were bummed that we couldn't spend some time with Jamie before she left us. Jamie is dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling. She is an excellent communicator and sent us the cutest pictures of our dogs. We knew Teddy and Bella were in very capable hands while we were away. Jamie left our house very clean and with all the linens washed. She even left a plant and thank you card, so thoughtful! We would love to have Jamie back at any time to sit for us. I give her the highest recommendation!
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
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!!
As ever, Charlie was the perfect dog/house sitter - took loving care of our dog and looked after the house and garden as if they were her own; all returned in immaculate conditon!

Love this kennel and doggy daycare! The owners are the kindest caring people I know. Darius and Jamie really love what they do! Our border collie Patrick has been going there for many years. He is always well loved, exercised, cared for and all his basic needs are met. We have a difficult time getting him to go home when we pick him up. Thanks you for being such a great place to board my dog.
The owners and staff at Dobe Run are awesome! They have always taken excellent care of our dogs and were extra helpful and flexible during a recent extended stay of a sick family member's dog. The facility is very clean with plenty of room for dogs to get outdoor exercise during their stay. I highly recommend Dobe Run Kennel and appreciate the excellent customer service provided by the owners and staff!
The staff is amazing and my dogs love them. They no longer offer full grooming , but still do baths. Their daycare options are great if you don't need overnight.
We take our fur baby to Dobe Run at least 3 times a year! He gets so excited when we pull in and when we walk in they know him and his tail wags and he runs to the staff! I would recommend them to every pet owner!!!!
They pay close attention to my pups and have no problem calling me when there's a problem. Really like home
We couldn't have been happier with Dobe Run and their daycare services! The staff was very welcoming and accommodating for our dog Hank while were on vacation in Gloucester, VA. He must of had a great time too because on the second day he jumped out of the truck and dragged me inside... I'd say that's doggy language for "this place is great!" :) Thank you for taking such good care of him!!
Love these guys. Our high strung cocker always runs right in. They seem to spend plenty of time with the dogs and our dog never seems to mind being left, even tho he is quite happy when he gets picked up.
Generally, my dogs are anxious creatures but they always leave Dobe Run happy! I love how many "layers" of fencing they have, the facility is clean and safe, and the staff is great with my pets. I definitely recommend trusting Dobe Run with your pets!
Our dog stayed there one night and everyone and everything seemed great. Our dog goes back for a week's stay soon, we'll see how that goes. I'm hoping I will be "upgrading" my review to 5 stars after that. Very clean facility.
My dogs havent kenneled at Dobe Run yet. However, I feel that they will be comfortable and looked after well when they do stay over. I expect my 4 star rating to go to a 5 star rating after their stay.
Amazing doggy day care! Our dogs Buster & Smokey loved the 2 days they spent in your facility! Friendly, pleasant, caring people. Clean facilities! Thank you again for accommodating us on such short notice! You saved our Williamsburg vacation! Michelle & Tom
I recently had a quality of life visit for my sweet Booboo she is a chihuahua. I decided to euthanize her due to her deteriorating health. Dr. Fiddler, the assistant and Mrs. Terry were so accommodating, friendly, kind and understanding. They professionally took care of us and my sweet girl. Here's to 17years Booboo, Thank you all for your continued support and professionalism. 💝
Thank you Paws! Best doggie daycare I have ever been to! Not over crowded and each dog has their own suite to rest in. My puppy Lola is shy and had a bad experience at another daycare previous to Paws. They worked hard building her confidence. Karen is a master at picking the right dogs to play with each other. I would recommend Paws Pet Resort to all!! Cannot say enough about how good they are.❤👍👍
Our dog enjoys going to Paws Pet Resort to day care or to board. They play with all the animals inside and outside. The staff is very friendly and cater to any special needs. It is a very clean and well run place. I highly recommend!
We had a family emergency and had to leave out of town in two hours. Paws Pet Resort stepped up and took cared of our little Molly so we could be with a family and know that she was in good hands. Thank you for being so flexible and taking care of our little Molly, we missed her so much.
My Jubilee came home a happy camper after her stay at Paws Pet Resort. The camping was more like ‘glam-ping’ as overnight guest accommodations replicate a cozy home environment with cushy slipcovered sofa and/or club chair and flat screens! Staff members are professional, nice people who shared lots of love with Jubilee. Felt good leaving Jubie here after scouring reviews, meeting members of the team, and touring the facility; and, Paws Resort proved me right.
Bag of mixed feelings here. Yes, it seems like my dog did well here. I am also glad they were able to fit me in on memorial weekend just a few days prior. However, the human to human service was awful. I came in to this business with my dog and there is this lady, one of the older ladies with white hair, who appears to be the owner or manager, who at first sight just oozes passive aggressiveness. Now all people make mistakes and I did not read the part where I had to have a collar on my dog, this lady starts harping over “it’s in the contract” and in a span of 1 minute reminding me about 4 times that my dog needs a collar. If you give me a chance I’ll go back and get one, I had barely just said hello. The rest of the checkin in process was exactly the same. It seems like she treats everyone the same because even her employees stayed quiet and somewhat submissive for example when she spoke to the younger lady at the front desk.Perhaps this line of work has her thinking everyone are dogs and they must be submissive? Maybe a hammer thinks everything is a nail situation? When I came to pick up my dog, which went much better, it was only slightly dampened when I saw the [owner/manager?] I respectfully said hello, and ignored me like I wasn’t there. Someone, if you’re reading this, give this lady back her cats. I won’t be coming back until you do
I live in the suburbs of D.C, but am from the 757, so I board my "yorkie daughter" with Paws at least 3 times a year. I'm very picky about who she stays with and though the drive can be up to 3-3.5 hours each way, it is well worth it. I don't have to worry about my baby girl and can vacation in peace either internationally or domestically because I know my sweet and sometimes timid or loud Valentine is in great hands, along with my "nephew Yorkie!" I love the owner so much and the desk assistant. They are very nice people! I also love getting birthday emails for my Valentine every February 15. Paws is really great!
I cannot say enough good things about Paws Pet Resort! Karen and her staff are amazing in every way! The attention and love they give to the animals is beyond compare in my opinion! The facility is extremely clean! My dog boards there as well as goes to Doggie Daycare and she loves it there and always is so happy to see the ladies and her doggie friends :-) I would highly recommend them and I'm so grateful for all they do :-)
It is too bad that we can only give a five star rating to the Paws Pet Resort ,as opposed to ten stars !!! Not only was the resort a "Resort" for my pet but I felt reassured and relaxed about her stay away from home. The staff was kind, courteous and concerned about her welfare. We were both treated like welcomed guests. SO, FOUR PAWS UP ! Thank you from us both.
Jackson's Pet Haven is wonderful! I have been boarding Charlie my mini-weenie dog with Melissa and her gang for over a year, and he always thrives when in their care. The moment you walk in the door you are greeted by spa-like smells and a calm and attractive reception area. It's an immaculate, charming, welcoming, and friendly environment, and as an over-protective owner of a tiny dachshund who has had back issues, I am so grateful to have a safe and professional place like Jackson's nearby. Oh, and they do a lot more than boarding...I cannot recomment them enough! Thank you for being here in Providence Forge! Aprile (and Charlie--woof)
I shouldn't have waited so long to bring my 2 GSDs. They are a handful at times. My youngest we haven't been able to clip her nails since we adopted her even the vet tried! Melissa got them done! Thank you!
Melissa did such a great job with our senior pup! He wasn't stressed at all when we picked him up and he was squeaky clean and smelling great - thanks Melissa!
Great kennel. Ive used it for day boarding 3 times, and the place is relaxing like a soa for dogs!
Highly recommend, very clean day care/boarding in a home-like setting!
We were looking for a new pet care place and I got nothing, but positive things to say! :)
She does a beautiful job on my Dixie!
Thank you for the wonderful rating! We hope to see you again soon.
