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!
I've always been lucky with my sitters through zeewoi, and this time was no exception. George, Larissa and their four lovely children were the absolute perfection in house guests and I cannot praise this wonderful family too highly. They did all the usual things you'd expect, gave my beautiful girls all the love and care I could wish, walked them at least once every day despite the best the British weather could throw at them, and sent me regular updates and photos so I could see how much love they were getting. They also left the house cleaner and tidier than I think I've ever seen it! I'm a bit worried that all they did for the week was walk and play with the dogs and then clean the house - I'm beyond grateful, the place looks amazing! They really are the very nicest people too, George has a hilarious sense of humour (thanks for the funny texts George!) and Larissa is calm, kind and an inspiration as a mother. I really can't wait to have them back to look after the girls again in the summer and wish the whole family a wonderful trip until then. If they come and house sit for you then you are in for a real treat!
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!
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
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.
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday. They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!!

Extremely professional and customer-oriented (e.g., charging mechanisms with flexible booking options, seamless communication over What’sApp). My dog loves when we arrive at the place and starts wagging her tail as we walk towards the HuTa. Thank you!
Melanie and Kevin are very nice and helpful, they have been taking care of our dog for over a year. We can say that our Nina is under good care with responsible, knowledgeable and empathetic people who respond to the dogs individually and integrate them into the group. They have given us recommendations to improve certain behaviors with our dog for which we are very grateful. What we also likes is that when we pick up Nina from daycare or boarding, they tell us how she did during the day/days and she always seems to have a good time. Thanks to everyone in Hundebetreuung Ruschenburg for taking care of our lovely Nina!
Our 2y cockapoo has been fantastically cared for by Hundebetreuung Ruschenberg for almost a year now. Having moved a very social dog from a very sociable life with lots of freedom in the English countryside to a city in Germany lacking all of his familiar faces, finding somewhere new for him to engage with other dogs (and humans!) was nerve-wracking for us all. However, Melanie & Kevin were nothing but welcoming, our dog LOVES his days there - and drags us down the road with excitement to arrive - and it is fantastic piece of mind to even go away for a few days and leave him with them overnight, knowing that he’ll be cared for and interacted with to such a positive, high standard. They are very flexible with our variable schedule and in particular, helped me out in a recent emergency by taking our dog for the night last minute - for which I’ll be always grateful. Our dog will definitely miss HR when we return to England next year and I know that we will too! Thanks guys, as always- you’re the best.
If you have a reactive dog and looking for a calm, open and honest trainer you have come to the right place. I love my dog. He is the sweetest friendliest thing, but his reactivity prevented us from most normal life activities. Even going for a simple walk was quite a challenge with him, we have tried other dog schools but unfortunately it wasn't the right approach for my sweet Golden retriever. I would recommend Melanie and Kevin again and again. We just had one session at our home and his behaviour has been analyzed quickly! I was schocked how my dog respects his trainer. We have been using Kevin's tips for 3 days now and walking with my dog now is full of joy and not a challenge anymore and most importantly i can walk around my home without having my dog following me everywhere :) My dog is also going regulary to their daycare and come home tired and happy!
I am overjoyed that Ruschenburg dog day care exists. It's a wonderful feeling that I can give my dog there and I can be sure that she is in very good hands there. Melanie, Kevin and Leonie are doing a fantastic job! I have also had very good experiences with individual training at home because it works if you do it exactly as you are told and you continually stay on the ball. HuTa Ruschenburg is the best thing that could have happened to us. It is absolutely recommended! Thank you very much for everything!
Very competent and reliable dog care! Any questions will be answered happily and, above all, professionally. Our dog really enjoys going to Ruschenburg, so we can give her there with a clear conscience! Thank you for existing!
Both are very good and competent dog trainers who understand their work. They helped me a lot with my dogs, so that communication between me and my current dog works better. I can only recommend both of them.
Our dog has been going to the dog walking service at Ruschenburg dog care for about a year and a half now and has also been to the HuTa a few times. Dealing with the dogs there is simply great, they are well exercised and have social contact with other dogs under professional care. You are always kept up to date on your dog's welfare, which was very important to me. Even if the dog walking service or HuTa remain closed due to vacation (which is... Incidentally, this is very rare!), you will be informed about it in good time so that you can replan accordingly. The “human” interaction with Melanie and Kevin is always absolutely uncomplicated and warm. We and our dog are completely satisfied and can only recommend Ruschenburg dog care!
Very friendly and competent owners. Dealing with the animals and their owners is professional and confident. In addition to the dog walking service and dog care, the trained dog trainers also offer various training courses for dogs and people. Top price-performance ratio. Simply great, thank you.
Great professional dog care. The only place where I can leave my dog without having to worry. It's nice that you exist! An enrichment for all dog owners.
For years my dog Barko was picked up for a walk by Ms. Apfelstädt. She does a great job! Very reliable, friendly and competent! Thank you for that
Unfortunately, visits to see the place are only possible on weekends and only when there are few dogs on site. Does she have something to hide? Otherwise I don't know her. Unfortunately I couldn't find an appointment from Monday to Friday within 4 weeks. (I could have always during those days)
Absolutely top. Our Abby is always really looking forward to Mrs. Apfelstädt!
Best Huta in the Düsseldorf area. Our dogs are in the best hands at Apfelstädt.
It doesn't get any better. Heidi loves Ms. Apfelstädt 😍 …
Experienced professional dog care with heart
