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.

I was very happy with the love and affection that was very apparent when Travis and Shannon met the pups. I received one picture on my trip and was happy to see Shannon cuddled under a doggie pile. Nothing like seeing your dogs being loved by others as their own. Every thing was in its place when I return which was nice. I also received a welcome home gift handmade by them which was very lovely and made my day. I highly recommend them as trustworthy and reliable pet sitters to anyone.
Michelle
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!

I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.

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!
Ann
Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover. They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx

Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!

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.
Kathleen
Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie. She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get. She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps. Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with. I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.
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.
Katherine
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!!

Maya from PCAT looked after my elderly dog, 16 year old cat, and disabled rabbit the other weekend. Being a vet nurse myself, I am very cautious when it comes to trusting someone with my pets. However, I was not only comfortable, but my pets received the best care. From my dog receiving his daily medication, the cat being allowed to sleep in Maya's bed, to my rabbit getting his much anticipated bedtime treat. An all round awesome experience for all ❤️🐾
Lauren from PCAT enjoys being with your pet as they do with Lauren. She is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and will go the extra mile for your animals and their well-being.
I can always rely on Lauren to give me sound advice and many other services though PCAT. Highly recommended!!
Wouldn't trust anyone else to look after my pets! Can't recommend Lauren enough!

Looked after our dog when we went to Sydney...
Lovely care from Louise and Jennifer and top-notch facilities mean we happily drive 45 minutes from home to drop our pets here.
Hotel for fur babies. Really lovely family run business. Been taking this fella there for years, he is always well looked after in his private, spacious room.
Both our furbabies had a great stay thanks for your great care
My 2 cats and I met Louise during one of the most stressful times in our lives. During the Auckland flooding my babies needed a place to stay and Louise provided the care, love and attention they needed. They ended up staying at Pet Park for two weeks and came home happy and relaxed. What makes this more amazing is I moved house whilst my babies where with Pet Park so what they knew as home had changed. I can't recommend Pet Parks enough. They are just simply amazing and will love your fur baby as much as you do. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my girls!
Petparks looked after my dog, who passed away earlier this year, on numerous occasions. Although he could be quite challenging behaviorally, Petparks understood him and managed him really well and he was always happy and relaxed about going there. Jennifer and Louise were always accommodating and gracious about booking changes, and drop off and pick up times. I never felt hurried when updating them about anything new each time I checked him in for a stay - I felt that they were genuinely interested in his welfare, and fond of him. I was able to enjoy complete peace of mind about him whenever I was away, and I recommend this place unreservedly. Plus Jennifer does the most fabulous grooming!
We had our "special needs" dog Oscar (who is a tripaw Labrador X) staying with Petparks for 4 weeks in August. Oscar seemed relaxed and well cared for when we picked him up. Louise, Jennifer & Co. are very caring. Will certainly come back.
Our puppy Charlie has stayed at Pet Parks twice. They looked after him really well. We supplied our own food and they had no problem with this. It’s a social kennel - so may not suit all dogs. Charlie came home happy and healthy. I have no hesitation in taking him there again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a boarding kennel.
We have been taking our pets to Petparks for years. They have always been so well looked after, and our pets were always so happy to arrive.
We are very happy leaving our beagle Milo with this great team. Milo has stayed with them on numerous occasions and we feel he is well taken care of and I love that they have the freedom to go outside. Thanks for offering such a great service!!!

Natalie did a wonderful job shaving our cats belly, we knew he would need to be sedated to get rid of the knots. I felt much more comfortable with it being at home with less stress on him and me getting to the vet with my newborn. She was gentle and calm with him, I would highly recommend Natalie : )
Natalie did a great job minding our furry pet cat while we were on holiday in Australia. She was great on communication and really took care of our cat Trixie, who seemed very OK when we got back.
Natalie looked after our fur babies, Willow and Jinxy, when we went away at short notice for the weekend. She was fantastic with great communication, cute photos and just a warm caring personality. We felt totally at ease with Natalie looking after our cats and would highly recommend her services to others.
Natalie was so thorough with looking after my pets from coming to my place beforehand to meet them and see what to do, to updating me through the week as to how they're doing and finally leaving a lovely note making sure I was home and they were going to be fed. I didn't worry about them at all. It's clear how much Natalie loves animals. I would totally use her services again if I need to. Thank you for taking great care Natalie.
We are so pleased that we chose Furry Pet Minders to look after our cats. Natalie was very professional & took the stress out of being away from home. We will definitely use this service again the next time we go away.
Highly recommend Furry Pet Minders. From our fist contact Natalie was professional and friendly. I had never used an in home pet sitter before but she made me feel very comfortable and secure leaving her to look after our elderly cat Rosie. I received regular updates and photos from her throughout our time away and came back to a happy and content Rosie. We will definitely being using Natalie again in the future.
Natalie was so kind and professional with looking after our cat and dog over Christmas. Got daily texts and photos of how they were doing. Feel so pleased we have found someone we can trust with our precious pets. Highly recommend Natalie.
Natalie clearly really cares about animals. She looked after our cat for two weeks, and we came back to a happy kitty. 😃 He's always seemed stressed after being in a cattery. But being at home, with Natalie visiting each day to play with him as well as do food, water, and litter tray, kept him relaxed and comfortable. Good communication and reliability -- couldn't recommend more. We will definitely be using them again!
Natalie did an amazing job looking after our cat while we were away and we will definitely use her and her team again. Recommend to all to know your fur baby is being well looked after!!!
Furry Pet Minders are absolutely awesome! They go the extra mile and nothing is ever a problem. It's so reassuring to know that Natalie has veterinary practice expertise too! Highly recommend!

I haven't used their service because I haven't been given the opportunity to use it... I booked for Easter weekend 2021, signed their documentation before Christmas, months in advance, and now when it comes time for me to confirm details and asking how they'd like to be paid I'm being ghosted... I've tried several messaging platforms, emails, calling from other numbers than my own, leaving voice messages and have nothing come back. Not even the courtesy to say they are sorry but won't be able to provide the agreed services. I should have seen the writing on the wall when I asked if they would be able to look after my pets a few weeks before Auckland Anniversary weekend. Again, the same story. I can see my messages are being read, but no response. Weeks later I get an email to apologise that they were ill and in hospital. I hoped that was the genuine reason for blanking me which is why I still kept the booking for Easter, but that was a big mistake. Very unprofessional, and you won't be getting any recommendations from me.
Paws and Feathers are fantastic and I highly recommend them for looking after your pets while you're away. They always do a great job, are very reliable, and it gives us a lot of peace of mind that our pet is being well looked after. Can't recommend them enough! :)
Paws and feathers looked after my 2 cats over Xmas and I will definitely use them again as well as recommend to others. Photos daily and even though I have super timid cats that hid when they came over - they searched them out to make sure they were ok and I had a photo. Super organised and met up beforehand with all the notes to make sure everything was in order. Thank you ladies ❤️
I have hired Paws and Feathers NZ to care for my beloved Bunnies. I got absolute amazing care. My Bunnies were fed, watered, cuddled and loved as I would of cared for them. I 💯% recommend the services of these Lovely Ladies.
We love the service provided! Our pets are always so well cared for and extra services like watering the garden/bins out/mail collected are never a problem. Always fast and friendly communication with photo updates. Highly recommended!
Confirmed availability over Xmas over 2 weeks ago, and now doesn't respond to emails/voicemails or answer the phone. Have to look for alternatives at short notice due to disappointing service

Millie adores her time in day care through the week, but this weekend she had the extra special treat of staying with one of the awesome staff on their farm while I celebrated my birthday. I'm not entirely sure she was thrilled about coming home to be honest! I'll work through my separation anxiety 😉 she has been very snuggly and sleepy today, absolutely shattered!
Our puppy always has a wonderful time and comes home exhausted. Staff are friendly and post lots of photos.
Great staff, great environment. Our dog totally loves going. I highly recommend DogHQ to anyone looking for some socialization or daycare for thier pup 😀 …
Great staff, they really care and look after the dogs. Been bringing my puppy there since she was really young and she is well socialised. They put out the doggy pool sometimes and also blow bubbles for the dogs to play.
Bernie absolutely loves going to Dog HQ. When we drop him off in the morning he flys in the door he’s so excited. When we pick him up he tells us all about the fun times he had with his friends. Lovely staff and the daily photos on Facebook and instagram are a lovely touch. Would absolutely recommend sending your dogs here. 10/10
We take our dog here every week and it puts our mind at ease that he can have a full day of interactions with other dogs in a safe environment.
Not impressed by this daycare, unsure if they actually look after your dog or just put them all in a room and leave them all day, taking sporadic photos to make it look like they’re with them. My dog has gotten kennel cough twice since being there and comes home stinking of urine like she’s been rolling in it all day.
Great place for dog day care. I have been using Dog HQ services for near on 9 years now and have never had anything to complain of. Both my dogs love their visits.
Penny loves having her time at DHQ. She comes home happy and can’t contain herself when sh is dropped off in the mornings... sh is so happy. Great way for her to socialise
Trainers are great they care about the welfare of your animal and are very knowledgeable
