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.

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!
Koni
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.
Emilie
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.
Courtney
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!
Andrew
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.

If you need a sitter don’t hesitate to pick Vanessa, I highly recommend her. She cared for our fur baby for two weeks and received the care and attention she needed. We came back to a very happy pup and clean home which is awesome after coming back from a long trip. I received texts and pictures of our dog while we were gone which gave us peace of mind. You could tell right from the start that she genuinely loves animals and will care for them as if they are hers. I will continue to use her as my pet sitter if she’s available. All I can say is she is a wonderful person!!
Geo
Truly The Best House sitters Ever!!! Shannon, Travis and their son were absolutely terrific. I’m so lucky to have had the genuine pleasure of meeting them. Very warm, generous, open and loving people. My dog Wolfie usually barks at men who come in the house and I was a little worried about how he would be with Travis, but I had nothing to fear because within seriously 1 minute from Travis walking in the door, Wolfie was giving him kisses on the lips! I was so happy to receive their updates and photos and videos of my pets while I was away. They really went above and beyond taking terrific care of my many, many furry and feathered friends. When I got home, the place was sparkling clean, all linens laundered and beds made and they even left me sweet little surprises. I would welcome The Exums back with open arms anytime and highly recommend them.
Jackie
Tom and Diana were perfect house sitters and guests. Great company, our dog immediately made herself at home with Tom. Animals loved and cleaned. House spotless, great communication and even left a thank you card and gift when they left. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.
Sidney & Larry
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!!
Kristin
Melissa and Chris are amazing. We are very picky about our dog sitters, and we chose them because they have been doing this for a long time and track your wants and needs carefully and follow through with utmost care and integrity. They offered to come the day before we left to meet Winnie so that we could rest in that she would trust them and connect to them. Honestly, we would hire them as our only dog sitter all of the time if we could. I cannot thank them enough and say enough good things about them. They also took very good care of our house and plants.

Catherine took care of our Kobe for two weeks whilst we were overseas, and he seemed so happy playing on the beach and in the lounge with the other pups. When Kobe became unexpectedly ill, Catherine promptly took him to the local vet and kept us informed every step of the way. Thank you so much Catherine for your care and attention!
We highly recommend Catherine for doggy daycare and boarding. Charlie was a timid dog when she joined daycare and has benefitted from regular socialisation with other dogs and she adores Catherine! Charlie just spent 10 days happily boarding with Catherine in a safe and loving home environment. Charlie was well cared for and happy on our return. Catherine provides a top service and we love the regular photos and videos of their adventures. Thanks Greg & Edwina
Catherine took such great care of our dog who came back happier than ever! She maintained constant communication including photos and videos of our dog on a regular basis and was very careful to meet her every need. Our dog received a wide range of outings and overall had a great time in Catherine’s care. Would highly recommend Salty Dogs!
Catherine took great care of Nessie our 2 year old dog while we were away on a recent holiday. From the start Catherine’s approach and understanding of dogs was immediately reassuring that Nessie would be both well cared for and have a good time. Nessie settled really quickly in Catherine’s home and with the other dogs. We received photos & videos of the dogs out walking, exploring new dog parks and relaxing at home almost daily. Nessie was clearly having a exceedingly good time and was being well cared for. I highly recommend Catherine as a dog minder and we would definitely leave Nessie with her again.
The service Catherine provides at Salty Dogs is fantastic and this is evident in how excited our little cavoodle is to go there. We get sent photos and videos of the various adventures the dogs get to go on during the day. I think it’s fair to say that the time our dog spends at daycare with her friends is the highlight of her week.
Catherine is amazing and has provided so much love, kindness and support for our dogs, present and for our recently departed boy. We are blessed to have her in our lives, Poppy loves the walks when we are at work for the day.
Our dog Squid is our princess. We were worried about taking her from the daycare she's been at for 12 years to move onto somewhere new. Salty Dogs has exceeded our expectations in every way. We would never have thought that for the same price, Squid would get one on one attention (as opposed to 20:1 attention), two walks a day, quality sofa snuggles and in the care of Catherine, who clearly is a dog person. Squid loves Catherine who recognises her needs as an older girl, so much so that Squid HOOTS with excitement on the drive to Salty Dogs. We should have moved her sooner. 100% recommend.
I was so thrilled to have my precious boy dropped off after spending a lovely weekend with Catherine. He came home relaxed and happy. Catherine sent me lots of photos and a video of Reggie running around the beach. I would highly recommend Catherine.
My dog Hero had such a fun time with Catherine and Hugo, he was happy and relaxed throughout and has been very expressive since he came home and keen to play. He really enjoyed spending time with the other friendly dogs, and I enjoyed the nice updates from Catherine every day. Thank you Hero will be back to play soon!
I've used Catherine's services twice now. My pooch had a blast, he was well cared for and regularly exercised. Catherine also provided updates with photos and videos of their adventures. Very please and highly recommend! 😊 …

I used to kennel my dogs here but sadly they have died. Tracy runs a wonderful business caring. At the moment I've been taking a friend's dog out from there to walk at Makara Beach once a week while my friends the owners are away. Tracy has been very supportive of my doing this.
What a lovely place. The team are wonderful, and the facilities are excellent. I just wish Fred was a bit more happy to come home when I pick him up. He might be having too much fun at Doggy Camp.
I have been taking my girl Maggie to Dog Bach since she was little. Tracy and her team are all wonderful, kind, and caring and I have never worried about leaving Maggie in their care. Communication is excellent and prompt. Book early as this is a smaller kennel, but well worth the drive out to Mākara. Best kennel in Wellington!
Haven't been yet but as we are going to pick up both our new puppies next weekend we will definitely be training them and bringing them here during our overseas trip. I loved all the reviews and look forwarded to bringing our beautiful babies to use :) can't wait to meet the team.
Our golden retriever has stayed at the Dog Bach several times over the past year as we carry out home renovations - sometimes for 2 weeks at a time. Tracy and the team are wonderful, we know he is well cared for, in clean and safe facilities and has a great time. The team really care about the dogs in their care and ensure they have good play mates! Would definitely recommend them, but give them plenty of notice as they are always in demand!
What a great place! You can really tell that the staff love dogs--good vibes. Tracy was so helpful and friendly. I boarded my pup for a week. She got to play with a lot of other dogs. The facility is clean and well managed. I highly recommend Dog Bach :)
Probably not really relevant! It's years since been here! But worked here for the couple who owned the Ridgebacks! 🐕🐕 Loved it! 💛 They were great to work for!👍 Also was an amazing walk we use to take dog's🦮 down to like a waterfall swimming area! 🌊 Was great! Enjoyed my time here!🙂 As I'm sure the people who have it now do! 👋
Yuli checked in at The Dog Bach last week, and when we picked her up after 5 days she was happy and well. The place looks great, bathed in green with lots of fresh air. The team is professional and attentive, and they took excellent care of our girl. Will definitely use them again.
Pickles had a pretty cool holiday at the Dog Bach. He gets very well looked after and it's always such a treat going to pick him up and see how happy he has been. Thanks Tracy and the team! We look forward to booking in Pickles for his next summer vacation.
Excellent service - they went above and beyond expectations - and reasonably priced. My dogs came away in a playful, happy mood, and I will certainly be using their services again. Recommended.
