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.

Kylie was a great sitter for my dogs. She kept in contact and sent pictures and took them on many walks which they love. She has her own sweet little dog that keeps to herself and was just fine with my 2. I would recommend Kylie to anyone looking for a housesitter
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!
My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.
From her promptness to schedule a pre-sit call to her truly thorough tidying of our house, Stella was an amazing housesitter from start to finish!! She read all the info we put together ahead of time, and asked for clarification on just a few things which made us confident that the pup and the house were in good shape :) Stella was really gracious when we admitted to not having a coffee pot, and handling things calmly when there was an incident with street parking. Maybe most importantly though our dog Luke was calm when we came home. I think if future sitters are clear in their expectations around frequency of communication/photos and the dogs needs then Stella is the perfect person to exceed your expectations!
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!
Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa! We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best! First, communication was fabulous from the start. They put me at ease before they ever got here. Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures. They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world). They handled her medications with no problem. It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them! I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!
This is our second time with Jamie and she’s really a great sitter for our dogs . She’s a trusted person, smart. You can leave her your house and pets. Can’t wait to have Jaimie back next summer
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.
Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!

Amazing service and lovely people. My dog is a very nervous dog and barks at its own shadow and other people or dogs. She walked into the dog house and was greeted by the groomer, who put her at ease straight away. The cut was great, but the service is out of this world. Thanks for looking after Ruby.
Great service today for Pepper’s first time there, she is a nervous dog but came out happy and relaxed!🥰 Very reasonably priced too! …
Took our Luna for a puppy groom and the lovely staff did an amazing job, so many compliments when we left the shop from people walking by.
Hannah is a professional and sets very high standards. I am extremely pleased that she decided to set herself up in the village as it has made our regular grooming trips so much easier.
I took my fur baby for her nails to be clipped and I have to say they did a wonderful job would definitely recommend the dog house
Hannah is a magician! Our dog Squid has always been very nervous at previous groomers but Hannah has done a wonderful job today. We are very pleased and would highly recommend.
Have taken both of my dogs twice now and Hannah does such an incredible job with them. They look and smell amazing, and leave very happy pups! She’s so quick too (and I have a Samoyed mix!) Highly recommended.
I have taken my dog to many groomers over the years, but service that Hannah provides is impeccable and I will not need to look elsewhere again. She is very friendly and you can rest easy when leaving your dogs with her, knowing that she is giving them the best treatment and looking after them like her own. I would highly recommend The Dog House.
Our two dogs love their visits to Hannah and Thornton, it's nice to have the peace of mind of knowing that the dogs will have a great time as well as a great cut. Our dogs always seemed reluctant to vist our previous groomer but they actually get excited when we pull into the Dog House. Highly recommended!
I took my dog here today to get groomed and this is the best groomers we have ever used. Our dog looks and smells wonderful and has come home stress free unlike other groomers we have used in the past. We have already booked our next appointment! 5*
We used a pet sitting service for the first time. Purrfect Partners was fantastic, Kim took the time to get to know us and my cat. Kim kept us updated and I felt so reassured that my cat was being well taken care of. For the first time ever I didn’t feel guilty about leaving her to go on holiday or relying on the good will of my lovely neighbours! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kim and I will definitely be using their services again! Thank you so much!
Purrfect Partners have looked after my cats whilst we've been away on many many occasions over the past 18 years. Howard did a great job up until he retired earlier this year and now Kim has seamlessly taken over the business. She took the time to check all the arrangements before we left and sent us the occasional picture whilst we were away, which was a nice reassuring touch. I would definitely recommend them.
We are very happy with the service provided by Howard. Howard came and met us and our cats and went through everything in detail so we felt very confident about entrusting him with their care. Howard came twice a day for the duration of our holiday and he gave us updates (which were very much appreciated) while we were away. When we came back our cats were both very happy and well looked after. Knowing that your pets are in safe hands is so important and we will definitely be using Howard again. Thank you.
Howard did a fantastic job looking after our cat while we were away. We were nervous about leaving our new 7 month old Burmese cat but with text updates from Howard it eased our minds. When we got home our cat was very pleased to see us and we were pleased to see him happy and healthy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Howard and look forward to using his services again in the future. Once again Thanks Howard.
I was nervous leaving my two cats but Howard soon put me at ease. He made the time to visit and talk to me about the needs of the cats. He informed me how my cats were on his first visit so I knew they were being looked after. I would highly recommend him as a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter and I will certainly be using his services again.
I used Perrfect Partners for to look after our cat whist we were away for two weeks. I would highly recommend to anyone considering a pet sitter for their pet. You will have peace of mind your pet is being well looked after in its own home and is in good hands. The text updates were also a nice touch. A fantastic professional service provided by Howard - many thanks.
Kim has looked after our cat a couple of times when we've been away and she has made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. She feeds him twice a day for us and keeps his litter box clean and also gives him some playtime and cuddles. She paid attention to what his particular routine is and was happy to do little extra bits for him as we would normally do. Her regular updates with photos are lovely and the cat seems quite content when we've returned. We would definitely recommend and will use Kim's help again when needed!
We have just returned from 2 days away visiting family and this has been the first time we have used Kim for her cat sitting services. We have 2 cats and one of them needs his medication twice a day and so we thought we would give Kim a try after finding her details on the internet. She came round a week before to meet us and go through everything and from then we had no doubt that Kim is trustworthy and genuinely loves animals and is not purely in the business for financial gain. We received updates and photos on both days which was lovely. I would recommend Purrfect Partners 100% and I am sure both Mini and Milo would too!
Kim took a great care for 10 days about my 2 cats when I was abroad (vistis am and pm). She followed instructions, was kind to my pets, kept my place clean and tidy. She communicated daily, sent pictures. I felt that my cats were safe and cared about. I can strongly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter! My very shy cat start coming to her, what is the greatest proof how great she was with them!
Purrfect Partners looked after our two cats for 4 days whilst we were away and I could not recommend them enough. From the initial enquiry all the way through to the day we came home, Kim was great. We especially liked the updates and photos. It's so nice knowing we are leaving our pets in good hands and came home to them relaxed, and if anything slightly disappointed it was us coming through the door and not Kim!! Really great company and will definitely be using them again. Thanks for everything xx
I can't speak highly enough about Dogability and the incredible impact they've had on my reactive rescue dog, Berkeley. From the moment we started working with them, it was clear that their approach is both compassionate and highly effective. They focus on positive reinforcement, which has not only helped my dog make significant progress but has also strengthened the bond between us. Trust is key when helping a reactive dog. They taught me that in order to have this trust, positive reinforcement was key. The trainers at Dogability are truly dedicated and skilled. They took the time to understand my dog's unique needs and tailored their methods to suit him perfectly. Their emphasis on building trust and developing a strong relationship was exactly what my dog needed. Over time, we've seen remarkable improvements in his behaviour and confidence, all thanks to their thoughtful and patient guidance. If you're looking for a dog training business that genuinely cares about the well-being of your pet and uses humane, effective techniques, I highly recommend Dogability. Their expertise and dedication have made a world of difference for us, and I'm sure they can do the same for you and your furry friend. When we started this journey, I had many tears about the challenges I had with my dog. Walks were stressful, and I would avoid people and dogs. Now we happily walk off lead, and seeing him interact with people and dogs (managed of course) brings tears of joy to my eyes. This sweet, loving and fearful dog has blossomed and I just love him so much. There are still situations that we avoid, but he trusts me to manage them for him. Thank you, Dogability, for helping us create a happier, healthier life together!
I highly recommend DogAbility! We have been attending the social walks since February with Adrienne and Jane who are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly trainers. Both Bella (my nervous dog) and I have learnt so much and are feeling more confident each week - I'm so grateful for all the help and advice and it's become a real highlight of our week. Bella has not only made some dog friends on the walks but she is also starting to find unknown dogs less scary which is really life changing for us all! We also had a fantastic 1-1 session with Jane who supported us in introducing Bella to our next door neighbour's puppy which couldn't have gone better as they are now friends - we can enjoy time in our garden now without fence wars! If you are looking for experienced, effective and practical training which is fun and kind to your dog - these are the people!
I cannot recommend dog ability enough! Not only are they highly trained but they are also fantastically friendly people. Our lovely dog is confident and happy. It is down to the hard work and careful planning that Dog Ability do to make sure every puppy has what it needs to succeed... a well trained owner ;)
I really enjoy training with dog ability they have been sooo helpful with my bully ! I did the distractions course and it was great always something new to learn everyweek and great trainers i had tasha and i cant recommend her enough. Ive also had some private lessons and Adrienne (owner) has always rang to check in on how they went you can tell she really cares ! And they are alway willing to chat and help if your ever having any problems.
Would highly recommend (and do) to anyone and everyone. We have been going to Adrienne and the team since puppy classes and and my dog is now 2 and I still go when needed. We recently did a one on one session with Tash and it was fantastic, she was brilliant with understanding what we were struggling with and how to help going forward, since then I have stuck with what I learnt with Tash and have had a very well behaved dog out on walks! Can't thank them enough.
I would strongly recommend to anyone. Luka started of a nervous boy but after only 5 sessions he is a changed dog. Adrienne was a lovely caring trainer and I appreciate all that she taught Luka and of course myself. Thank you for your help. Angie and Luka
A brilliant time had with fun and fantastic puppy training .My little puppy Paisley could of almost made Crufts agility. We were givern homework weekly to inprove our relationship with our canine friends .But the LOVE and safety you felt in the hands of the expert's was fantastic.I award abig gold 🏆To DigAbility Jane Penfold …
I would thoroughly recommend.Puppy classes are well organized and helpful and staff are very friendly,encouraging and keen to answer questions.
The perfect dog trainers, I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to train their dog.
Kelly and Steph were brilliant I was really uneasy about leaving my furry baby but he was in great hands. They treated him as if he were one of their own and when he was a little off colour they even made him some scrambled egg. Friendly reliable and animal crazy .
We booked Kelly for the day service for our 17 week old puppy and she was great. Max had a lovely day and so well looked after. Thanks so much definitely will use again.
