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.

Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.
Such a great family! George, Larissa and their crew were a fantastic bunch. Our large senior dog got an eye infection right before we left for our trip and so we had to ask them to do some extra eye care. When it was clear that it wasn’t getting better they were willing to load up Lorax and take him to a vet appointment and then apply the prescribed ointment for the next week and a half. Definitely above and beyond care that we really appreciated! Our house was left in great shape, our pets were super well cared for, and George and Larissa were great communicators. We have had many many sitters over the past 3 years but this was the first family. Nothing to worry about, they were terrific and we would happily have them back again. Thanks for taking such good care of our fury family and our home!
Great sitter and kept in contact regularly. Would gladly have her sit for my dog 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.
Katie & Kevin jumped in last-minute, as our sitters had to cancel. And what can I say: We couldn't have chosen better even if we would had more choices and time. Katie & Kevin were so easy to communicate with and the first meeting and handoff were so easy and smooth. We could go on vacation with peace of mind knowing our dog and 2 ponies are in the best hands. Katie & Kevin: Thank you so much for looking after our animals so well !!!
Ray and Lynn are absolutely the best pet sitters you could ask for. They were extremely responsive to texts and emails and chatted with us over WhatsApp before the sit. They were very flexible and arrived the night before our sit so we could leave early the next morning. They even brought us ice cream because it was Joe's birthday the day they arrived. Very thoughtful of them. They are very friendly, relaxed people that are easy to talk to. Our dogs immediately bonded to Lynn upon their arrival. The first morning our cat managed to sneak outside and was MIA overnight despite their valiant efforts to get him to return. Ray tried to capture him but our cat fought with him and escaped again before eventually returning the next morning. Unfortunately Ray was scratched and bit by the cat during this struggle. He developed an infection in his hand. We did offer to come home or find a replacement sitter so they could return to the US but they were able to get medical attention here and antibiotics. They are so kind and didn't want to ruin our vacation! Two days before we were to arrive home the infection in Ray's hand took a turn for the worse and they had no choice but to head home to the US to get immediate medical care. They waited for our friend to arrive before departing. We were so impressed with them that even under these stressful circumstances they cleaned our house and laundered the sheets. Our kitchen cupboards looked better organized than before we left. Our garden was watered and well cared for during the heat wave. They were excellent at sending updates and photos throughout the sit. Our dogs were very happy and well cared for. We cannot recommend them highly enough!
Ryan is a great house and pet sitter and I definitely recommend him. He took excellent care of my apartment and my dog for peace of mind when I was away. He is professional, friendly, and experienced.
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.

Just finished 5 weeks puppy training course for our 20 week old C.Spaniel. Really great tips on basics and training on heel work and recall. Ryan very mindful of nervous puppies so was an excellent class to take our timid pup. He's now confident and doing really good me. Highly recommend to any new pup owner. 🐶👍 …
I booked my 1 year old Spaniel in for one to one street obedience training due to him constantly pulling on the lead and being all over the place, within 45 minutes of the training Ryan managed to get my dog walking 100x better. Since the training my dog hardly ever pulls on the lead and he walks by my side pretty much at all times. It feels like Ryan has given us a completely different dog. Ryan is calm, patient and knows what he’s talking about, all the advice he gave me regarding walking my dog and my dogs diet has been very beneficial. I can’t recommend him enough.
Took part in Ry's puppy class course. Was a great informative course that was reasonably priced. The knowledge that Ryan shared with us was great and we would recommend anyone with a new puppy taking part in these course here.
Just completed the five week puppy training course with our 12 month old miniature bull terrier. Ry and Alanna have both been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and even though our dog is still fairly unruly, we can see progress has been made and we have more confidence in what we're doing with her. As we'd already had sessions with two other trainers on the island, we were a bit wary, but have been very impressed with Ry's professionalism and structured training. Thanks a lot!
We have just finished our second session with Ryan, at our home. Ryan's natural affinity with dogs shines through as he shares his huge knowledge, experience and insight into what makes both dogs and humans tick! We have shared our home with dogs for 4O years but our sessions with Ryan have been absolutely invaluable in helping us to develop a trusting and companionable relationship with our new, busy puppy. Looking forward to Puppy Chaos tonight and ongoing training with Ryan and the Team. Thank you. Maggie and Nigel
An awesome business. We’ve been using Ry’s services for the past 6 months for our dog Leia, especially the day care. We use it to get a bit of freedom and as a treat for our dog as she loves it there. We also love the flexibility of the services and how friendly everyone is. Highly recommend!
Being a "lockdown" puppy training and socialising was difficult so behaviour problems were inevitable. Finding Ry's has been a wonder - with their help/advice and facilities we are beginning to see changes in Leia's social behaviour and we look forward to many more happy sessions with Ry and his team of wonderful helpers. Thank you
Everytime I drop my dog off at Ry's in the morning for daycare, she can't wait to go in! She has such a lovely time here, and comes back so happy and puffed-out from all the playing and fun she's clearly had! I also can't fault the staff, so friendly and helpful all the time. It's a huge comfort knowing I can drop her here on my days on the island!
I have used Ryan numerous times for both 1 to 1 training and doggy day care with my German Shepherd Dog Baz. He is patient, caring and great with the dogs in his care. He is extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviour and training and will also give the owners the training they need to get the best from their dogs. He is my go to dog trainer / day care provider.
Highly recommend Ry's dog training he has brought our Cyprus rescue dog on leaps and bounds, from a very frightend little boy into a very confident boy whilst out walking and to heel no longer worried about outside noises, he is now a better mannered young man in the home. Dude always looks out for him on his weekly visits and can't wait to get going. Thank you Ryan here's to the next 9 months. X
Absolutely brilliant service, couldn’t be more impressed. Benji came back to us happy, having clearly had a fantastic holiday. Suzi kept me well informed of his stay with videos and photos. We would highly recommend.
If there were more than 5 stars to add, Suzi would get them all. Our 2yr old Cavapoo has been going to Suzi since he was 4 months old both for daycare as well as boarding. He absolutely loves her and has grown into a well balanced happy dog with her high level of knowledge with individual dog behaviour or fears. Teddy has developed confidence as well as respect for other dogs during his stays. Suzi ensures her dogs are safe, active and supervised. Teddy benefits not only from supervised care but games, training and walks too. I cannot praise her enough. When we go away and unable to take Teddy, we are completely reassured and at ease knowing Teddy is enjoying his holiday too.
I cannot speak highly enough of Just-Like-Home! My 7 month-old Cavapoo stayed for two weeks this summer and it is safe to say that he enjoyed his holiday just as much as I did mine! He spent two weeks making friends of all sizes, digging in the digging pit, swimming in the pool, going on long nature walks and taking lots of naps in between! As it was our first time apart, I especially appreciated all of the sweet photos and videos I was sent of him doing all of the above. Just-Like-Home is truly a 5-star resort for dogs! We have our next holiday dates booked in already--thank you so much, Suzi!
Sidney has been to stay with Suzi a few times now, he jumps out of car and runs to gate as he can’t wait to go there. Suzi is very friendly, approachable, caring and accommodating and I highly recommend her. Sidney always is well looked after and I’m updated on his time there
An amazing place that really looks after your fur baby! My dog has loved his walks, communication is always excellent and the service is second to none
I can highly recommend Suzi and Just-Like-Home dog boarding. Our 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, stayed for the first time last week and if they could talk, I am sure they would tell me they had a brilliant time. We met with Suzi for first introductions ahead of our stay and saw her wonderful set up, including a sensory garden and play area for the dogs. Toby and Chloe even went for a taster day before their stay, at no extra charge. While we were away Suzi sent us messages and photos to let us know how happy and settled they were. They are now looking forward to their next visit in the summer, while we are totally reassured that they are being very well cared for 😊🐶
Absolutely brilliant daycare and boarding the best in the area. My cockerpoo has been to a few but have never settled overnight with anyone. Suzi is brilliant and is like a dog whisperer she is fantastic with our cockerpoo and has helped us with some of her anxiety issues. She has stayed with Suzi when we go away and the first time we couldn't believe the dog we came back to she was brilliant. Couldn't recommend Suzi doggy daycare and boarding enough. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
I am so glad I found “Just-Like-Home” as Suzi offers a truly amazing atmosphere for dogs. When I first brought Poppy to meet Suzi, my first impression was a place of calm but also a fun and stimulating environment for dogs. It's so comforting to know that when I'm on holiday, I know that Poppy is being very well looked after. Poppy recently had a 2 night stay and during all this very hot weather, Suzi purchased an air con unit to keep all the dogs cool!! Another lovely touch is that Suzi also sends photos and video clips which is great. Looking forward to Poppy’s 10 night stay in August. I can highly recommend “Just-Like-Home”, you won't be disappointed! 😀
Suzi looked after our 2 dogs for 12 nights when we went on holiday. She was fantastic! We received daily updates on them both as well as videos of them playing in her garden, which was much appreciated. The dogs really did make themselves at home, and I felt reassured leaving them with her. We will definitely use Just Like Home again when we next go away. :)
Our 14year old fur baby stayed with Suzi recently for 2 weeks, she had never stayed with anyone but family before and we were concerned about how she would be. Suzi and her team were absolutely amazing, Sasha had a fabulous time and we were sent regular pictures and videos of the fun she was having. We cannot recommend Just Like Home enough, your fur baby will have a great time with Suzi.
