Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already. She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it. She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand. She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side. We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of. We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!

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.

Once again Dede was the most perfect pup and house sitter you could ever hope to have the pleasure of using. She leaves our home cleaner than we left it and our pups so happy that they continue to search for her after she leaves. Dede handled an emergency situation with a false CO2 alarm which resulted in a visit from the fire department perfectly and we were so grateful! I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and know she is giving our 2 dogs the very best care. Thank you Dede - you truly are the best!

Leah & Elias, were an absolute joy as housesitters. They arrived a day early so we could all meet and go over the pets routine. Our cat is relatively new and has a little separation anxiety but they managed his care really well. Our dog needed to be dropped off at a sitters and they took care of that as well. We also came home to a clean and neat house! Overall, they went above and beyond and I highly recommend them.

Our dog loved Angela, as did we! She was friendly, efficient, handled our large, happy bernadoodle effectively and with love...we could not have asked for a better dog sitter and would be happy to have her back.

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 🙂
Emilie
Wendy was the perfect dog sitter and house sitter for us. She managed our house and dog and in such a caring a responsible way. Wendy was prompt with communicating with us and managed situations that arose professionally. Our house was spotless and our dog happy when arrived home. I knew everything thing was in good hands while we were away. I hope we can invited her to stay with us again.

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.

Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.

The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!

Such a great place for little dogs. The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable. You know your dog is in safe hands when they are at daycare. They give lots of photo, video and verbal updates at the end of the day. My dog loves going to daycare each week and leaves happy and very tired. Highly recommend!!
Our spoiled boy loves coming here. They really care that everyone has a good time and will give you an honest update at pick-up. Follow them on Insta and you might get to see your baby be a social media star!
Our dog, Finch, was cared for here three or four days a week for two years. It is by far the best dog daycare we have come across. The staff are fantastic and really seem to love the dogs. The dogs all seem so calm and, well, ‘content’!
Roxy our schnoodle goes once a week and has a blast every time. The staff are fantastic and it's reasonably priced. Highly recommend but be aware its for smaller dogs.
I can’t speak highly enough of the Contented Canine! My dog Clover absolutely loves going and the staff are amazing. Clover can be quite shy around new people if I’m not there but from her first day there she has loved and been completely comfortable with the staff. Going to daycare at the Contented Canine is the highlight of her week, and given the choice I’m not sure she would ever want to come home. It’s helped Clover get comfortable around other dogs and she now sees all dog we meet as new friends to have fun with. The staff have been so lovely and accommodating with me too, allowing me to add in hours or days when I’ve needed too. I would absolutely recommend the Contented Canine to anyone with a small dog. I’m so grateful that I found it for Clover and couldn’t be happier with it.
Bo just arrived home after his 3rd day in 3 weeks at Contented Canine. Tired and happy. He loves playing with the dogs as he has always been shy. Getting more confident every visit. Totally recommend.
My puppy and I went to Contented Canine for a puppy play group. The facility was lovely and clean, and well set up. The staff were friendly and kind and clearly knowledgeable about puppies.
My dog loves it there. It is a positive experience for him and as a result he is great with other dogs. He is happy and tired at the end of the day.
Absotively posalutely splendiferous daycare that our wee girl Tilda just loves going too. Friendly caring knowledgeable staff. Great amenities.
I am so excited only first day for my two little dogs they are home sleeping there little heads off, anita'and her husband are very clued up with information and experience on dogs,I am over the moon . Thank you for looking after my baby's

Just wanting to say a huge thank you to Nikki and the whole team at the Daycare and Spa. We have been sending our various dogs there twice a week for three years now and our dogs can't wait to get out of the car and into their home away from home. It is such a relief knowing they are well looked after. The super friendly atmosphere, genuine job enthusiasm, expertise and experience are simply awesome. High five team!!
The Dog Spa used to be very good a few years back, but in my experience the service they provide now is rushed and of poor quality. They are so busy that there is barely time for a chat on drop off. I took my mini schnauzer in for a groom - he came back with eyebrows and an untouched beard. The rest of his body was shorn much like a sheep. No allowances for the style of the breed even after I'd had the discussion with the groomer that I was after a mini schnauzer style cut. Definitely would not recommend The Dog Spa.
Biggest thanks to all the staff. So kind of you to squeeze my two dogs into doggy day care and grooming today. They came home beautiful and tired and told me they had a great time. What a professional outfit. I was super impressed.
The dog spa does an amazing job grooming our retrodoodle Herman. He always smells incredible for a whole week after visiting. He is always happy to go in & the staff are incredibly friendly! Highly reccomend
Fantastic staff, pup loves the place and is always excited getting out the car for the daycare. Extensive range of dog accessories available to buy. Always appreciate the detailed feedback on pickup with how visit went. You can do long or short visits. Definitely recommend to those who want the best experience for their dog/pup.
Absolutely Incredible! Very Kind and Caring with our two girls getting groomed. Both were difficult grooms to do and the workmanship was impressive. Loved the cute coats and accessories as well. Professional all round. We can’t wait to come back. Thanks a million!!!!
We have been 100% satisfied with the day care and the groomers at The Dog Spa for several years now. Nicky and her team are always so cheerful and happy to see our girl, and she is always excited to go there.
Me and my pup are so happy with the Dog Spa, could not recommend more! The staff are extremely friendly and professional. Coco always leaves there happy and looking great.
Nikki and the team are amazing and my little fella gets super excited to be groomed. They always do a fantastic job and make my dog feel welcome and loved. I'd never go anywhere else.
The girls at the Dog Spa were amazing with my very nervous dog, and he looks absolutely beautiful after his groom... thank you!

I have total piece of mind when leaving my labrador in the care of Heather & Tay and their wonderful staff. I love it that they look after his social needs as well as his physical needs.
Has taken a few days for my dog to adjust going in each day, but now she loves it. Great team and clean kennels.
Hi - I'm Bindi the greyhound! I've stayed many a time at Abbeyblyth Boarding Kennel and always receive good care and atttention while playing with my friends who also like to stay there. Thanks Abbeyblyth!
I absolutely love everything about Abbeyblyth, and would happily recommend it as the best kennel in the region. Their facilities are clean, spacious, and well-constructed, everyone on the team is awesome, and they take such good care of the animals as if they were all their own. It is the only place I feel comfortable leaving my dog, as I know he will be well looked after like he's part of the family, and have a great time to boot. Great work guys, thank you!
I highly recommend Abbeyblyth boarding kennels. A great friendly and very helpful team. I have had two dogs in there care at different times. one of my dogs had special needs and Janine, Dave and there team went the extra mile to ensure my dogs were happy settled and well looked after. I would just like to say, i would never take my pets anywhere else. Thank you team for all you do and have done for my precious babies
I have used Abbeyblyth for the last two years for my English Pointer and its been superb. Great facilities, smart attentive people and a great location. Very reasonable rates and also flexible to real life challenges of getting dogs to kennels. Highly recommended.
We've used the friendly and caring services of Abbeyblyth Kennels for about 2 years now and our dogs love going here! As any caring parent, the first couple of times we dropped them off we probably felt worse than they did - they didn't even look back as they were taken to their kennel! The first time we came, we were shown around where our dog would stay and play and this really helped put our minds at ease. We didn't like leaving our puppy home alone for too long so she would regularly go to day care at Abbeyblyth when she was younger and absolutely loved it. Now that we have an older dog we tend to only use them if we go away overnight and again he loves it too. The owners and staff are real animal people and the dogs recognise that. I have no hesitation in leaving our fur babies in their care and highly recommend their services.
Our dog Moose has now been for a few stays at Abbeyblyth and comes home incredibly happy. Each time we get a report from the staff on his time we discover who the other dogs he played with were and how he got on. The rotating packs that dogs are placed in offer him a variety of socialisation from older and slower dogs right to young puppies and he seems to love the variety of play combined with a set schedule that the team offers each day. We look forward to using Abbeyblyth for years to come and are grateful to the team for taking such good care of our doggo.
Our pup Fin stayed the night last weekend. We rang up at the last minute to book in as we were travelling from Christchurch for the weekend. The owners were so helpful, friendly and accommodating. The facility was lovely and clean and the price was much cheaper than our usual kennels. Was extremely impressed and wish they were our local kennels!! Thanks for all your help :-)
Just the best. Was in town for the day from the North Island, my pup stayed for the day and the service was the best I've ever experienced at kennels. My pup got a bit dirty and they offered to clean her up. The price was affordable and staff were friendly and looked after our needs perfectly. Thanks so much team.

Molly has been a regular at Purr-fect Retreat Cat Motel for many years and gets looked after extremely well. We can can go away knowing she is safe and well cared for.
We have used the Purr-fect Retreat for our Snoopy boy for 9 years now. They're really good with the animals, and the rooms are cozy, large and some even have an outdoor space, guaranteed if your pet stays over 21 days. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone
Excellent place to leave our 2 cats when we are away, Gavin and the team look after them well. We can relax knowing they are in safe hands.
This is simply the best Cattery if you want your cat to have a stress free time. Our girl is 17 and even though she doesn't like being away from us, she is so chilled once she comes home. I just love this place! Thank you!
We have left our Alfie here three times while we went on holiday and we have been very happy with his stay and the care he received, very clean and tidy, lovely carers - it feels like a well run cattery, would definitely recommend 🐈⬛🐈⬛ …
George our short persian haired cat stays regularly at purr-fect cat motel .He seems to come home every time happy and content even when he is dropped off he is aways ok even with Gavin as he usually does not like men company .he is well looked after. M Davis
My cats never want to be in a cattery but they do not leave here stressed at all. They are well cared for and the facilities are spotless.
Buddy loves to stay here, lovely owners, nice clean rooms, and one happy cat!
A fabulous Cat Motel I use often, and my cats are well looked after I highly recommend

My cats were very well loved during their stay. It is a homely set up with a great little play area for them to use each day. They looked very settled and content when we picked them up and had obviously gotten used to plenty of cuddles with Helen (owner).
The best Cattery in Nelson. Personalized care for each cat. Highly recommend
Absolutely awesome cattery. Helen is wonderful and really loves all the cats under her care. Even our antisocial cat appears very at home.
Lovely to have a break away and know my precious kitty looked after so well by Helen. She has a real way with cats, would highly recommend Catnip Cattery
Our cat was very well looked after at catnip. Your cat gets personal care & grooming here, plus gets to play or rest outside.
Helen is amazing and gives 100% care to the cats, wouldn't go anywhere else
We Love Hellen, she puts her heart and sole into this Cattery. We feel at ease leaving our Tank with Aunty Hellen 😊 …
