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.

Sheri
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!
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.
Sally & Andy
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Laura
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Rebecca
Romina and Ignas took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were away! One of our dogs, Beau, is extremely high energy and it takes a special person so make sure he gets enough mental and physical stimulation each day. Romina kept us in the loop of his trips to parks and outdoor excursions. She was very thoughtful and responsive during our time away. Additionally, our home was in pristine shape when we returned from our trip. The rooms were clean and tidy and Romina left us such a thoughtful note. Romina and Ignas are top notch sitters and I'd highly recommend them to anyone with pets! Thank you so much, Romina and Ignas. Our dogs were so well cared for and loved.

I was fortunate to have Lisa as a sitter for my active, 7-year old lab mix (Ozzy) for a week in Bend. Lisa took the time to meet us via Facetime and in person before her stay. It was apparent she wanted to be well-prepared and aware of any special doggie needs he may have, or any help I needed with watering plants or bringing in mail. She took great care of Ozzy while I was away and sent me regular updates and photos of their outdoor adventures. I returned home to a very happy dog and a house exactly as I had left it. I'd welcome Lisa back anytime!
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!!
Teona
Alia is truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used. My husky LOVES her. Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly. She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia. She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)

Veronica House sat for us for a month. She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat. Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals. They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them. When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe, she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity. She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks. This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy. A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in. Our cat was so content and well-groomed upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention, too. Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day. I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home. We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.
Paula
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

You may have to get on their waiting list, but The Doghouse is well worth it. Their huge play area is perfect for active play, especially important for high energy dogs like ours. He comes home tired! We get a report, at pick-up, of who he played with, what he did, any behavior issues. Our rat terrier had a problem with playing too rough. They brought in a trainer to teach him to read and respect other dog's signals. They also taught him to walk off leash with a group of dogs. There is no end to the care and love they give each and every dog.
Our dog has been to other daycare’s, but none of them compare to the Doghouse. She pulls as hard a she can to the doors when we arrive and she loves handlers! Even though she can’t talk, I just know she would rate it 5 stars. She has made so many new dog friends and I would 11/10 recommended the Doghouse to anyone!!
We love The Doghouse so much! Our dog has been going there for 5+ years and every time he comes through the door he's greeted by name with excitement. He boarded there when we took a 2 week vacation and I felt totally comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We're excited to start sending our puppy there in a month or so!
This has to be the absolute best place in the state for dog day care. Most of the day is outside, they play with similar size dogs. The best part, might be how excited the staff is to see your dog when you drop them off. Get on the waitlist - it’s worth it
Not very useful service anymore unless you have lots of money and time to jump through their many many entry hoops. It's more like an exclusive club than an actual beneficial service. I attempted to re-enroll my GSD after a few years away and the requirements just to interview the dog along with the wait-list were no go. They treated us like we were absolutely asking the impossible for the dog to have an (expensive) day care slot now & again and come back in a few months or never. The irony is my dog is actually* featured * in a picture on their website. But we were treated like nope, no room at the inn...get outta here stranger. They also tack on many many fees. They charge you to even to interview your dog to see if they might let it stay. The high overhead of the estate like premises probably has something to do with the high costs too.
As a former dog handler at a day care in MN, I really like this place. We've taken obedience classes here, boarded our dogs here, and bring them to day care. Every aspect has been great. They have 24 hour, on-site staff for boarders, and even take your dog home with them if they're stressed out while boarding. The different levels are great with so much property and the freedom it offers the dogs if they can handle it. (We'll get there one day with our dogs. Ha.) The walks they offer are an added bonus. One of our dogs is deaf and has a hard time understanding dog language, so we really appreciate the extra attention she gets when she goes to day care, since she has a hard time finding play buddies.
We've been doing training with Kim for the past year or so and it's completely changed my dog and i's relationship. We love the doghouse
I am disappointed in the level of care for my dog. I was impressed with the facility and the fact that they had so much room outdoors and had been to several other dog day cares. The Doghouse cost a little more than others and was further away from my home. I made the trip, just leaving earlier, and was willing to pay a little more. My very easy going and obedient dog was miserable. It poured rain all day and I learned that the dogs are left in the rain unless there is lightening. There is no place for them to get shelter. When I picked her up they reported that the handlers would not be giving her a bath because of the way she behaved when they tried to rinse her. Although I have taken her other places to get bathed and they have all reported how easy and sweet she was. I asked how she behaved, because I have not seen any negative behavior from her since I rescued her 9 months ago. All I was told is she was stressed. I pay for dog day care to receive positive benefits for my dog, not negative ones that stress her out. The "handlers" are not friendly to the dogs, they just seem to handle them. If a dog is stressed it doesn't take an expert to know you should talk to them in a soft voice and offer some reassurance. It is not worth the money for my sweet dog to have a bad experience and adverse affects. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Love working here. Awesome place, awesome people and even more awesome dogs!
Our lab loves this place!! We regularly use them for daycare, boarding, and have used their training facilities. Hudson loves to be outside so we love that he has all the room to run around and go on off leash walks! Most other daycares only offer a small enclosed outdoor space, so the large yard is a huge selling point for us. Hudson runs to the door and gets so excited every time we pull up. It's obvious the handlers love dogs and care about the dogs as if they are their own. We would recommend this place to anyone who's dog loves to play outside!
