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
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
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
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!

Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
Lori
Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.
Larissa
Great sitter and kept in contact regularly. Would gladly have her sit for my dog again.

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.
Deborah
This was our first experience with TH and we are very pleased. From the moment Rose arrived we knew she was the right sitter for our “kids”. Communication while we were away was great with pics of the dogs as well as text messages. Rose cared for our home and our “kids” with great care, she is very conscientious of your space. Extremely pleased with the care she provided to our “kids” and our home. We have another trip planned in a couple of weeks and are happy Rose will be staying in our home again. I highly recommend Rose as a sitter!
Mary
Joanna and David were absolutely perfect!!!! This was my first actual time using a sitter and they went above and beyond what I expected. I have a 1 year old Bully Breed that I adopted 6 weeks ago, so if you know dogs you know what they had to deal with :)) They sent pics daily and kept me updated. We were not able to meet before I left but they were nice enough to stay to meet me when I returned. My house was cleaner than when I left, all bedding and towels washed. Charley, my dog, was happy to see me for a minute when I got home but immediately went back to play with David, so I am thinking she had a blast while I was gone. I am totally sold with this process after having Joanna and David here. If you have the chance to book them for your trip, you will not be sorry. I am hoping to use them again when they return to Florida.
Sarah
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.
Sharon
Alia is awesome and we have used her several times. She is a 5 star rated sitter every time. The dogs are happy and the house is perfect when we get home. She even cooked dinner for our arrival home because we came home late. Highly recommend Alia!!
June
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.

We have just used Paula's Pet Sitting service for the first time with 3 of our whacky kitties, and it was the least stressful absence we've EVER had! It's so nice to have the peace of mind that everything is taken care of and to be able to see and read that all the critters are acting normally. Thank you so much, team! We will be sorely disappointed to ever live somewhere without this service.
We have used Paula's Pet Sitting for over 2 years now and taken advantage of the wide range of services they offer. They are always flexible with our ever changing schedule and always go above and beyond to make sure our fur baby is taken care of. Another great feature is the time to pet app that they use. Everyday I get an update with pictures of how our little fur baby is doing during her visit. The pet sitters are always professional and always respond quickly to questions and schedule changes. I would highly recommend using Paula's Pet Sitting for all your pet sitting needs.
I have only used them a few times so far but HIGHLY recommend!!! My friends first showed me how to get a pet sitter with an app while I was away visiting them and I loved the idea so I could set up times without having to call. When my one of my other friends told me about Paula's Pet Sitting it was exactly what I wanted! Unlike Rover and Wag you get to meet your team and that was extremely important to me. They came, saw where we kept pet items in the house, and met me and my pups. When they came both times, they were fantastic! They let you know when they have arrived, and then at the end they send you pictures of their visit as well as a message letting you know how it went. It is so nice to have finally found a pet sitter I feel comfortable with and with many options to use (dog walks, mid day let outs, overnights, etc.). Again, I HIGHLY recommend them.
I brought home a 6 week old puppy and hated leaving him alone during the day. Driving home on my lunch break daily was not a sustainable plan. A friend recommended Paula's pet sitting and I am so pleased I contacted them! My puppy gets visits twice a day and loves each woman on the team that is assigned to him. They refresh his water, prep Kong toys, replace soiled potty pads, and send me a report with pictures after each visit. I am still working on training and the ladies work along with me. If I require the dog sits before a gate is opened, they do the same. If I reward my puppy for relieving himself in the correct place, they do to. I don't have to worry that visits are counteracting the training. If you are considering using a pet sitter- go with Paula's!
We used to avoid travelling because it was so uncomfortable asking friends and neighbors to care for our cat while we were gone and the cat would get upset and pee on the carpets. With Paula's we know our pets routine is as normal as possible so they're happy when we get back. They even water our plants and come at 12 hr intervals to administer meds to our 17 yr old cat.
We have moved to Midland in 2018 we needed to travel shortly there after. We are so lucky to have found Paula’s Petsitting. Without her and her staff it would’ve been very difficult to go on trips and feel assured that our “hairy “children are very well taken care of. Before moving here we used to “board “ our Pets and having them at home in their own environment is such a reassuring thing. Thank you for giving us peace of mind !
We hired Paula's pet sitting on 2 different occasions now. Their service is outstanding. The pet sitters are going above and beyond at each visit, they will check everything and keep you informed every step of the way. Last minute requests are responded to within minutes. Will definitely continue to use.
We planned a trip and three months before we left, decided to get two more westies, in addition to our four year old. We have only left the four year old with family members, but with two puppies, thought it would be best to keep their routine at home. Our vet recommended Paula's and the experience was wonderful! Daily updates and pictures made our vacation so much more enjoyable, knowing our boys were at home, playing in their own yard and sleeping in their own beds. Gigi did a wonderful job with the dogs and answered every question I had while we were gone!
Paula's Pet Sitting provides excellent care and recreation for my crazy cat, while providing me with peace of mind. And that is all I ask. I receive 'real time' reports and photos, which when shared with others always evokes the same response: "I don't get that kind of service from my pet sitter!" I will continue to use this service and confidently recommend it to others.
We are so happy to have found Paula's Pet Sitting! Paula and Amy take great care of our older dog, who is beginning to experience some health issues. It's comforting to know that she is in good hands when we are away from home!

Exceptional service. The kennel caretakers genuinely care about each and every dog left in their care. They pay attention to each dog, treating them as if they were their own pet. My dog is very anxious and they were able to accommodate his needs.. Will be using Rainbow Kennels for all future boarding needs.
First time kenneling our dogs. They were perceptive to the needs of our dogs. Kennel is very clean. We would definitely use them again!
Always have the best interest of our pets in mind, we go back everytime we need boarding for our three labs.
Took my dogs there for the spay neuter express and was talking to a worker from the kennel and they were very nice and loving toward a mastiff who had only been there 2 days. If they didn't care about the animals then they would not be IN the fence with this beautiful massif mastiff. They care for ALL the needs of the animals!!!
Local family owned and operated. More of a home-style, comfortable atmosphere. Pets get love and attention plus extra care, exercise, and/or grooming upon request.
They treat your dog as their own they take time to exercise them my dog was very happy when I went to pick him up great facility very nice people I recommended this place to any dog owner
Great place and they treat your pets well. Very friendly!
First time for Ava to be in a kennel and she did great. People were friendly and kennel was warm and clean.
Have taking my dog Marlo there a couple times. Very reliable and they try their best to accommodate your fur baby.
Pups had a good almost two week stay. They came back healthy.

We are so thankful for Dog Haven Ranch! We have a 5 month old GSP and he loves "going to see his friends". They keep him on routine, he gets lots of exercise, love, and socialization.
Yikes. I don't have a pit or a pit mix, however I work with a lot professionally. From my experience, any "kennel" or dog care service that refuses care to them, is because they don't actually have the ability, licensing, insurance, or experience to control any unruly dogs or work with them in any safe capacity when thijgs happen. And trust me, things happen. 7 years of training and boarding, I have had 9 pit/pitmixes who have had issues, yet there was never a bad outcome because we are prepared and educated. The other breeds I have worked with that had major aggression issues we had to accomedate; I kept a list starting about 4 months in. This list began when I had a golden retriever in my care that the owners did not warn had bowl aggression, even a while after finishing the meal. That dog taught me so much, and truly sparked my passion for rehabbing dogs and giving those who are struggling special attention. The list is in no particular order; every time a new breed acted aggressively towards a human, other dog, or both, we wrote the breed down and then just tallied next to any prior breeds. 11 Goldens, 9 Australian shepherds, 22 shepherds/malinois, 2 collies (one rough one smooth), 1 coonhound, 13 shepherd/mal mixes, 1 carolina dog, 2 Akitas, 14 beagles, 7 Shiba, 1 plotthound, 13 shih tzus, 2 dalmatians, 18 labs, 4 border collies, 9 huskies, 1 Italian greyhound, 2 great Pyrenees, 1 jack russel, 1 Rottweiler, 2 pomeranians, one maltipoo, 11 doodles (of all kinds), 3 dobermans, 4 bullies, 2 Australian cattle dogs, 1 bouvier, 1 giant schnauzer, 1 pointer, 1 löwchen, 1 newfoundland, 2 vikhan,
Adopted a dog that was one year old and had some socialization issues. Ryan, Amy, and their staff worked with him a great deal, and I am very grateful to them. My dog is older now, and the kids went off to college, and my dog loves when I send him there! It really helped him cope with all of the changes in our house. He's always happy to go, and is more at peace throughout the week.
Thanks to Dog Haven I can work and not feel guilty about leaving my dog in her crate all day! It really goes beyond just that, my dog Ladybug is VERY energetic. She gets her need for play and exercise met completely at day care while I work. She just about pulls my arm off to get into the door of Dog Haven. In the morning either Ryan or Amy are there to take her back to see her friends, and she jumps all over them like they are part of our family. They have been great about giving feedback on her behavior and interaction with other dogs, which I really appreciate since she came to me through a foster situation. I am confident when I introduce Ladybug to new dogs that she is well socialized because of her time with Ryan and Amy, their great staff, and of course all of her doggy friends at Dog Haven. A friend (who's dalmatian goes there) recommended Dog Haven to me. I would definitely pass the favor on and recommend this doggy day care to all of my fellow dog lovers!
We have taken our dogs to Dog Haven Ranch for 10 years - all have loved their time there. Ryan and Amy and all of the staff are so good with the dogs. My dog gets so excited when we arrive, he can't wait to play with his buddies.
This is a great dog day care and overnight boarding place in Midland. The dogs get actual exercise and they will groom and wash them. The dogs start to get excited when we turn into the parking lot as opposed to other places where they get anxious about being dropped off. Matt runs the dogs during the day so they get in their exercise and fun.
We love Dog Haven! My dogs been going for years and she absolutely loves it! Everyone there is super nice and you can tell they really love all the dogs. Thank you for making Roxi feel so welcome!
DogHaven is such a friendly place to bring dogs! The owners treat each dog as if it's their own. I cannot tell you how comfortable I am leaving my Springer in their care and she always comes home exhausted!
One of the few places our pup is comfortable around other dogs. Ryan and Amy treat these dogs like their own. Thank you for taking in our grumpy boy and helping us to socialize him!
My pup leaves daycare in a calm and happy state of mind, unlike another daycare that I sent him to once. He is super excited to be there and happy to see me at the end of the day.

My 7 month labradoodle puppy loves going to daycare here. Angela takes great care of her and keeps me posted on things and updates me throughout the day. She definitely takes pride in her business and cares about her customers. I highly suggest this kennel to anyone that is looking for a great doggie daycare or overnight care!
First time at the kennel. I was very nervous about leaving our fur babies there for a long weekend. Glenn and April were very warm and welcoming. 2nd time the furbabies were excited when we pulled in the drive. Finally met Angela again she was very warm and welcoming.Prices were great. We definitely will be back. ❤️
Charges too much and the 2nd time we took our dogs she didn't even wash them and charged us. They didn't smell clean or look or feel clean. Wanted to charge me 60.00 per dog, we have huskies and a morkie. Found great place in Beaverton
Loving caring people who will care for your furbaby like their own. Highly recommend
5 Gold Stars! Angela from Golden Paws Kennels is the best. She is great to communicate with and even sent me photos and videos of my new puppy, Floki, while we watched her grow. I thought it was such a nice idea to give Floki a comforting blanket that smelled of her Mom and siblings too. I highly recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a doberman puppy.
A couple years back we had unexpectedly had to get our dogs Nova and Abby out of the house temporarily and Golden Paws here did amazing and took them in last minute! When we picked them up they had the happiest of smiles on their faces! I would totally recommend taking your dogs here if you need someone to watch over them
Well taken care of pets, busy place, very helpful for emergency care needed to board pets. Angela and Glen good people
We recently moved to the area and needed to find a kennel for our dog while we were out of town. I was very disappointed with our experience. When we went to pick him up they told us he ran out of food but never contacted us about it before picking him up so we could remedy the situation, so he came home with an upset stomach. They had no idea which one was our dog, but also made comments about how he has been there before when we hadn’t. When we got him home we found a wound on his paw that we weren’t told about either. We will not use this kennel again.
It only takes a couple of minutes to see that they love all the dogs in their care. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog there for a week. When we got home, he went right to bed. That means they gave this puppy plenty of activity to wear himself out (which takes a lot for a 1yo lab). We will definitely use them again!!
We’ve boarded our dog at Golden Paws for over a year. Glen and Angela have always treated us and our dog like family. I couldn’t recommend a local business more than this one. 5 stars.
