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.

Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me 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!
Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.
Brian was great and was my first sitter experience through TH to look after my two little dogs and one of them was a recent rescue I had for a month and learning new things and still training. Brian was good with communication, clear about his travel plans and we managed adjustments to him coming in early by a day. This was helpful for me to feel I can personally give orientation to my home and pets before leaving for a few days. Brian was also good with the hand-off to my next sitter when weather conditions delayed me. I came back to a tidy home and happy pets. Brian was calm with my new pup's minor furniture destruction. Thankfully I bought the warranty! I would recommend Brian to anyone and would consider him again for future sits!
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.
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!
This was our first experience with TH and we are very pleased. From the moment Rose arrived we knew she was the right sitter for our “kids”. Communication while we were away was great with pics of the dogs as well as text messages. Rose cared for our home and our “kids” with great care, she is very conscientious of your space. Extremely pleased with the care she provided to our “kids” and our home. We have another trip planned in a couple of weeks and are happy Rose will be staying in our home again. I highly recommend Rose as a sitter!
Charlie was again an outstanding sitter for us whilst we were away at a wedding. This is the second time having Charlie and although we have not met face to face we completely trust her with our home and of course our cat, Nala. Charlie left the house spotless which is amazing to come home to after a long day of travelling. She is reliable, good at communicating and trustworthy and we would not hesitate to recommend her enough. Thanks again Charlie, we hope you come back again and there might even be a dog next time😁
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!
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!!

Lola, our 1 year old French Bulldog, loved her visit to Kapiti PetVilla! She hadn't been to a kennels before, but she was very well taken care of and had another Frenchie there to play with. She was clean and happy when we picked her up! Mary sent us an email while we were away to let us know Lola was happy, which was so helpful. Lola looks forward to her next visit later this year!
Mary and PetVilla were fantastic! We sent our cat and our dog there for a week and they were both well looked after. Thank you Mary and team, if we can were relocating to the South Island, we would absolutely be staying again. The 40 minute drive from Porirua is worth is knowing your pets are in good hands.
Our staffy cross Pip has stayed with Mary and team several times. This was not the first kennel we tried in the region, but will be our last. We'll not hesitate to send Pip here again. She is well looked after and always relaxed and happy when we collect her. Thanks so much, team!
Easy to book and coordinate with. We had to book nearly a week out and it was stress free. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our dogs appeared well cared for and happy. One of our dogs had allergies and they were able to spot it and gave her meds as needed. Would recommend and use again.
First time using Mary’s Petvilla. Impressed by the thorough approach at the booking stage dealing with our dog’s personality, vaccination status etc. Clear communication on what we needed to bring. Our dog came back super chilled and happy after a few days. Obviously had a great time and we would definitely take him back there.
I have had cats and dogs all my life and gone to many different cattery's and kennels. I recently took my 15 year old cat to Kapiti PetVilla for 2 weeks while I moved home. I am so so impressed! They communicated regularly and I used the option of being able to watch her in her cage 24 hours a day! Whenever I was worried about her I went online and could see how she was! This place is the best I have ever used! Do not go anywhere else - they are absolutely fantastic! I will be taking all my animals here in the future! Thank You PetVilla!
Barb has stayed three nights at Aunty Mary’s and come home happy and settled. And her coat looks amazing from all the brushing. We are so happy to have found you — thanks, team.
Staying overnight at Pet Villa was the first time our over anxious 15 month Cavalier had been separated from me for more than a few hours. She had a ball. She was very happy to be picked up but had clearly bonded with Mary too. Feel so happy to have somewhere that I can leave her with confidence - thank you Pet Villa
Mac had his first overnight stay at Mary's PetVilla this week. He can be a bit of a timid boy but he headed into PetVilla without a backward glance. On pick up he was relaxed and happy - and by all accounts had enjoyed his stay. Many thanks Mary, the PetVilla team and Mac's new four legged friends.
Our 3 boys were staying with Kapiti PetVilla for 2 weeks during what was a pretty wet and wintery time. On pick up the boys look healthy and happy. This is the first time we have left our boys for so long and were glad that whilst we were away on holiday, we did not have to worry about them at all. We are saving up for our next holiday and their stay at Kapiti PetVilla.
I’ve only recently been taking my dogs to daycare and my dogs are just amazing when they come home! Best choice ever
We suspect our dog misses her friends & carers from Zaminka. We were so happy with the whole process during her stay for over a 6 weeks. She came back well behaved and well mannered :) Thank you so much again, again and again. Charlie will come back shortly for a sleepover:) Best wishes, Monika & Paolo
Many thanks, dogs happy and cared for wonderfully. Highy recommend
Pampered pooch had an excellent stay here - a few weekends before a long Xmas/new year stay. Every time he’s been happy to go & comes back home after a great time
We've been using Zaminka for the last four years, whenever we need to go back to Canada for a visit. The staff there are friendly, professional, and ALWAYS take excellent care of our two dogs. Whenever we go to pick up our dogs after the trip, they always look wonderful and healthy, as the staff will ask if we would like them bathed and groomed on pick-up. We're often told of some of our dog's various antics while at the Dog Motel which says to us that the staff take their jobs seriously, and they truly care about them. We will continue to use Zaminka for as long as they show such excellent care and concern for our pets.
Have been taking current dog and previious dog here for years, they always keen to go in so obviously happy and also happy when they get home. Also great grooming service, especially with my double coated pain the a..... ( whilst being groomed) dog.
No way would I ever take my dogs to this kennel again. They were returned to me very skinny, with no collars, bedding, toys etc. We are talking about my 2 x 8 month old lab puppies who stayed here for 2 months. The agreement was that they would be fed 3 cups Royal Canin puppy food per day plus the treats I supplied more than enough of to cover their stay.. The owner was very vague about what they actually were fed, but said they pooed too much, so they fed them 1 1/2 cup puppy food ( no details given) and 1 cup adult dog food a day. At a time when their bones are growing, I was very unhappy with this. They were shut in their kennels, and allowed out to play with each other, but not to mix as I had specifically requested. Definitely would not recommend
Would highly recommend. The staff look after my dogs like it their own. This is the only place where I happy and feel comfortable take my dogs to. Reasonable price. Zaminka is simple the best
We have boarded our dogs here for a few years now, and we always find them in good condition when we pick them up. The staff are very helpful & we appreciate the chance to have them groomed while they're boarded.
Good the first time round. Never returned our requests for booking second time round. Perhaps didn't like our dog???
