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.

Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them. I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!
Marlen was such a blessing. We had another sitter cancel just a week before our vacation date so I was so relieved that she was able to step in at such short notice. She came to meet our pups a few days in advance so they would recognize her. While we were away, Marlen sent picture updates and made sure the dogs were cared for. So glad to have found someone like her to help us out.
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!
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.
Katie & Kevin jumped in last-minute, as our sitters had to cancel. And what can I say: We couldn't have chosen better even if we would had more choices and time. Katie & Kevin were so easy to communicate with and the first meeting and handoff were so easy and smooth. We could go on vacation with peace of mind knowing our dog and 2 ponies are in the best hands. Katie & Kevin: Thank you so much for looking after our animals so well !!!
Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.
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.
Angela was fantastic. She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her! She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention. She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us! It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!! We would definitely recommend Angela. She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!
Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.
I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals. My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.

Great service. Very happy to be able to leave our dogs with someone who loved and cared for them. Thanks Marilyn
Our Corgi Steve looks forward to going to daycare every time! We get to drop him off whatever time we like and they bring him home for us in the afternoon. They do a screening test for each dog to see who they're compatible with and let them play with the dogs that match your dogs energy! We love that they go the extra mile and offer frozen treats and have parties for the dogs like Taco Tuesday, pool days and Christmas, Easter and Birthday parties! I also LOVE their instagram stories and seeing all the happy dogs 🥰 Steve comes home so tired and happy from interacting with the other dogs and staff all day! We love doggy daycare ❤️
We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog, Arlo, receives at Off the Bone. He absolutely loves this place and always has the best time! Sarah and Declan looked after him while we were away for six weeks, and they took such good care of him that he felt just at home. Now, Arlo goes to daycare there every week, and the staff are consistently fantastic. Their passion for dogs is evident in everything they do, and it’s clear they genuinely love and care for each and every dog. We highly recommend Off the Bone to anyone looking for a loving and safe environment for their furry friends!
OffThe Bone is a great place for my Assistance Dog in Training Trix to develop his social skills, while playing and being happy. I know that my adolescent dog is in the best of professional hands and supervised with care and relevant knowledge. Sarah makes also every effort to be accommodating and flexible to suit my time table. I am glad that I found this place via the recommendation of my Assistance Dog trainer.
Off The Bone doggy daycare has been a lifesaver for us, and our separation anxiety prone dog, Scout. Declan and his caring team look after the dogs as if they were their own, and provide a fun, and safe environment. It's a great place, and our boy LOVES to go each day, and is so tired out at the end, but energised to go again the next day. Scout has stayed the weekend a few times as well, and settles in to his home away from home. The new shop at the front is an amazing addition - selling locally made pet treats. I highly recommend Off the Bone to anyone looking for great care for their fur-babies!
By far the best doggy day care in the shire. Daisy loves coming here and is well looked after. Thanks Declan and crew
Declan and Sarah from Off the Bone are amazing!!! My GSD Doja Absolutley loves her two days a week, With a variety of all breeds and sizes of dogs Doja gets to socialise well. Declan and staff are so kind and real animal lovers. I highly recommend if u are needing someone to take care of your fur baby to get in contact. I have used Off the Bone for stay overs as well and Doja loves it. Always happy times with Off The Bone.
Not only a fabulous, fun place for my dog, but also a much-needed service within the area. My dog Nala loves her weekly visit, where she is looked after by Declan and his great team. They are so caring and great at what they do, and Nala comes home tired after such a fun and stimulating day. We love Off The Bone.
We send our boy Henry here twice per week. He absolutely loves Declan, Caitlin and the team. I love the photo updates on Instagram. The smile on his face speaks for itself!
Riggs the Border Collie absolutely loves Declan and the humans at Off the Bone. They provide a safe fun environment for the doggos to be doggos.
I’ve had multiple great experiences here both with grooming, doggy daycare and Saturday play group. The employees are all very kind and Misty is always exhausted but very happy when I pick her up. I chose them specifically because she can see the groomer and daycare staff regularly and have a little group of humans she trusts. Extremely happy and I highly recommend them.
We used mad paws to guarantee a sitter. You pay a premium for this. They can cancel at the last minute and have no email or contact number to reach to help manage their unreliable sitters. Mad paws pls respond. We need not just a refund of the sitter but our 3 day accommodation because you have no customer service. Be warned, mad paws all care but no responsibility, it you are planning a trip you cannot count on them.
Love Mad Paws! So nice to have my dog cared for by Savin and his family each time we go away 🤩 I know my dog is looked after and loved. So lovely to receive pics of him while we’re away too. Thanks so much for caring for my little darling while we’re away 🥰 …
We recently had an unfortunate experience with Adrian, who we found through MadPaws. Our 6-year-old Golden Retriever, Benji, stayed with him last week, and while the sitter had great reviews and the meet-and-greet with his Maremmano dog went smoothly, our experience was far from what we had hoped for. When we picked Benji up, we noticed a lot of blood on his thigh. At first, we thought it might be a scratch, but once we got home, we discovered five puncture wounds, which were clearly bite marks. We were devastated and rushed Benji to the emergency vet twice that night to ensure he received the care he needed. We messaged the sitter to let him know what had happened and shared photos of the wounds. Initially, he denied that his dog could have bitten Benji, claiming he always monitors the dogs. While we weren’t accusing him, we simply wanted to share our experience so he could take extra precautions in the future. Unfortunately, he did not respond to our concerns at first. After following up to express how upsetting the situation was and mentioning we would leave feedback on MadPaws to inform other pet owners, he finally apologized. However, we felt that the response lacked genuine empathy or acknowledgment of the seriousness of what happened. We are sharing this feedback not to defame the sitter but to inform other pet owners. If you are considering this sitter, please be aware of his dog’s behavior and ensure your pet’s safety. We don’t want any other pets to go through what Benji endured. Benji is recovering now, but this experience has left us deeply shaken. As pet owners, we understand how important it is to ensure our furry friends are safe and well-cared for when we’re away, and we hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision.
Dont use these services, just google pet sitters and walkers and have a chat with one of them about options, all pet sitters are different and you will be able to find someone who suits your needs without letting Mad Paws take a cut for no reason at all, they provide nothing.
Tiago and his partner were absolutely wonderful with having our puppy sleep over for a night. They were lovely to deal with and treated our little man with such care and kindness. We highly recommend Mad Paws. What an awesome and easy service to use. 🐾
Terrible company, after contacting about 50 sitters who are either overpriced or keep declining I’m still yet to find someone who can look after my pets. The app is horrid and keeps crushing and the fee they want to take makes the whole sitting unaffordable. Would not recommend
Great business very easy to use and our pet sitter was amazing our dog loved her stay. Will be using her again for sure. Can 100% recommend Mad Paws
I have been trying to sign up as a sitter on madpaws for a few months now. I cannot get any email answered from their customer service team. Shocking service
I've been using mad paws for over a year and had great sitters each time. I like that you can see reviews before booking with someone. We have a few sitters now that we use on a regular basis.
Mad Paws is a fantastic service that put me in touch with great dog people. The system was really easy to use, I was able to review potential pet sitters based on their profile, reviews and proximity to my home. Booking and payment was secure and simple. Each pet sitter has looked after our puppy perfectly and sent photo updates while we were away. Our dog returned home happy and relaxed. I can highly recommend this service.
I will rate 10 stars if I can! I found them because they replied to me so quick and very polite. They arranged meet and greet before house visit so that we can see whether our puppy loves them. The answer is 100% YES! They are so kind and real animal lovers. They will meet every requirement you need. They will send you many photos to keep you updated of your fur baby. It’s so important for us to trust them while we are out working. Our puppy absolutely loves to stay with them. I highly recommend if you are needing someone to take care of ur fur baby to get in contact.
Todd is great with my Pumba, she loves going for walks with him. He is very patient with her and she is tuckered out when she gets back ☺️ Todd is also easy to deal with and kept in communications!
Todd has recently started walking my dogs in the last few weeks and they really enjoy seeing him! Todd is very good with the dogs, always prompt and easy to communicate with
Todd was our pet sitter and house sitter for most of August when we were away overseas. Todd was fantastic, sent us lots of photos of our pets and kept us informed. The house was well looked after and it gave us great peace of mind to know that Todd was there looking after things. The price was reasonable and we would not hesitate to use Todd and Ruff Pet Day Care again.
Honestly hands down best in the business! I have a staffy with anxiety and Samantha comes and looks after him and he really adores her. She’s always gentle and calm with him as he stresses out a little bit so he needs someone like that. The owner Todd is also amazing to deal with stress-free experience when booking in any walks or overnight stays. I’ve had people make me feel silly about having a dog with anxiety but they honestly make you feel at ease and will do anything to help. You couldn’t recommend enough.
Todd and Jo were amazing with our 8 month puppy Nova. It was the first time we had left her with people that were not family and she had never stayed at another person's house. We did a meet and greet about a month prior and we left feeling confident Nova would be well cared for and have the time of her life, and we were not wrong. We loved the updates and following her on Instagram and seeing how lucky she was to be at a home away from home. It enabled us to have a relaxing break knowing she was being well looked after and mentally stimulated. Nova has made some new friends that I know will become part of her future as well.
Found Ruff Day Pet Care when frantically searching for last minute pet boarding. Todd was quick to respond and very flexible with pick up and drop off times. We were kept up to date with messages and photos of little Donald, he looked like he was having such a good time I didn’t think he’d want to come home! We picked up a very happy and sleepy pup! Absolutely trust Todd with Donald and will be using his service many times in the future.
Our Golden Retriever absolutely loves Todd and his team. He is a big boy with lots of energy and is always exhausted and happy when he arrives back home. Todd is awesome to work with, professional and we’re so comfortable leaving Beau in his hands. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else!
Felt very comfortable leaving my fur babies with Ruff Day pet care. They came and stayed at our house to ensure the best care was given. It was our first time and would definitely use them again. We received updates and photos of our beautiful dogs. Greatly appreciated! Thankyou!
Todd has been exceptional from the first time we contacted him. Responds immediately and looks after our girls like his own. Annie and Chloe are going to miss Todd when we move to WA, they get so excited when they see him and know they’re going for a walk that will tire them out! We used Todd’s dog walking and day care services and cannot recommend him highly enough!
