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.

Samantha and Scott are great sitters and we enjoyed hearing from them a couple of times while we were away. Our pets were very relaxed and happy too! Very happy to recommend them.
Kim
We were lucky to have Andrea back for another sit with our elderly dog and feral cat. She has been wonderful both in the past and on this last sit for a month! We trust her implicitly and are always at ease that our pets will have the most kind and careful attention. She is excellent with videos and communication and very clean and tidy. Again we feel lucky to have found her, and feel she would be a great sitter for any pets!
Brooke
Sharon was a fantastic sitter for our week away! She left the house as tidy and clean as we left it, including changing the sheets for our arrival. I truly cannot even tell she was here and that made coming home after a long travel day so much easier. She was communicative every step of the way and provided daily updates on our cat with photos. We knew our home and pet were in good hands! I would gladly welcome Sharon back any time should we be so lucky : )
Kristina and Doug
Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.
Kate
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Lynn
I enjoyed meeting Samara. Sosha arrived after I left so we only communicated in writing. Samara is a sweet, considerate pet sitter. She brought her cat, who posed no difficulties to my pets. Samara was in good communication with me during her stay. She used my car without incident. My home was left much cleaner than upon her arrival. Samara proved to be an honest and responsible pet sitter and I would open my home to her at any time in the future.
Kim
Andrea was the perfect sitter for our older Italian Greyhound and our shy cat. She followed every request to a “t”, and helped us to feel comfortable and care free for a long zeewoi. The communication of photos and videos were a warm reminder of how well they had been adjusting to our absence. Andrea showed care and consistent compassion for Darcy and Hammy. She seemed to enjoy them and our home as much as us! We returned to an absolutely spotless home, without anything left undone. She thought of everything related to us and our pets, so we could have a seamless late evening return. We highly recommend Andrea for any zeewoi, as she is a jewel. Anyone looking for a “perfect” sitter would be lucky to have Andrea as a trustworthy, considerate and kind person to care for their pets and home.

5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith

Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her. Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging. She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away. And the biggest compliment I can give: when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot). I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.

My worst nightmare !!!!! Stay Far Away from this place !!!! Danger ! My father was passing away so I needed to board my beloved dog for a week . Within 2 days he was attacked, mauled , eviscerated and killed by the other dogs . Negligent . Inexcusable . At my father’s deathbed I received a call from Onion River Animal Hospital that my Beau had passed . No word at all from Sam !!!!!!!😡😡🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😡😡😡😡 this was 10 years ago !!! I can’t believe she’s still scamming people. Stay away !
I originally wrote this in 2017. In 2023 I adopted a pup from Sam that she rescued from an abusive situation. She's amazing. Original review from 2017: When I was in the hospital for nearly 4 months my pups Trista and Scooby stayed with Sam and Random Rescue. I was in the hospital with my dying mother when I too was admitted to the hospital. Two days after I was admitted my mother passed away. I was overwhelmed emotionally and physically, mourning the loss of my mother and dealing with my health issues. Sam stepped in without hesitation, taking in my pups without knowing how long they'd be in her care and without knowing if I'd even be able to compensate her and the rescue. This is a testament to what kind of person Sam and everyone at Random Rescue is. The care they received, and the peace of mind that gave me, made it so much easier to concentrate on getting healthy and recovering. Trista and Scooby are my family, knowing that they were being taken care of was incredibly important in my recovery. Being able to check in on them, having a friend or family member bring them to the hospital to visit, and seeing pictures and videos of them on the Facebook page was so great. As if all of that wasn't enough, when they finally came home I noticed that Scooby especially was calmer than he had been before going to Random Rescue. Both had been well behaved, and were potty trained, but Scooby had pretty severe anxiety. Things like thunderstorms and fireworks would cause him to pant and whimper. He'd run away from beeps, like the sound the microwave makes when you touch the buttons or when it's done. Ever since he has been home though he has snoozed through several thunderstorms and 4th of July fireworks, which both always scared him, and no longer runs from noises like the microwave or beeps on my phone. I don't know what kind of sorcery they practice at Random Rescue but not seeing my buddy have panic attacks is pretty great! From the bottom of my heart, thank you to Sam and Random Rescue for coming to our aid during a really dark, difficult time in life. I couldn't recommend them enough if you need to have your pup (s) boarded. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Sam and her knowledge of breeds and temperament is the best. She has helped so many dog and educates about the good, bad and the ugly. I have adopted four animals from her. Two canines and two felines. All amazing furr babies❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Adopted Ollie from Sam back in Jan 2024. Her and her family treated us well and accommodate meet ups with us to see Ollie mulitple times. He has been amazing. Thank you Sam.
I recommend Sam and her Random Rescue organization without any hesitation. She helped me find a home for my beloved dog, without any judgment, and with so much compassion and understanding. She found an ideal home for my dog within just a couple of days. She treated my dog with as much love and care, as if it was her own beloved dog. She is incredibly devoted to taking care of these animals. She understands dogs and their individual needs in a way that most people do not. I noticed that the only reviews that included complaints were referring to her not returning their calls or emails ( regarding wanting to adopt)as quickly as they would like. If they understood how demanding her responsibilities are, and how devoted she is to taking care of the animals that she has under her care, they would better understand. There is only so much someone can do when they have a limited budget and cannot hire staff. And I praised her for making the priority taking care of the animals that she has.
Our 14yo and 1yo dogs just finished a week of boarding. They came back happy and tired. They were. Leary lovingly cared for. We will definitely use Samantha's boarding again.
Sam and her family are truly wonderful and kind people, and my dog had a fantastic time being boarded there. Definitely a great place to board your pup and not have to worry about them while you are gone. Thanks again for letting Hank live in luxury while I was in the woods!
Was wanting to adopt a rescue , they kept me waiting to talk to someone. Finally got a call that a volunteer did from Canada. She was great. Did my interview references were checked, landlord said yes , so I'm waiting again another 2 weeks get a message last night sorry cant adopt to you right now good luck. That cam from Sam P. Not happy and crushed
Horrid Cruel Scammer Dog broker Living on acreage in a rural area off the backs of dogs Greedy Deranged Evil Always physically go to where the pups are kept, see their housing conditions inside and out; if this is refused run and report to others via review / word of mouth So many bad actors in this field
Random Rescue is our go to rescue! They do an amazing job getting to know their animals, take excellent care of them, and are diligent about trying to make the best match possible for them. We've adopted from them several times and send everyone in search of a rescue their way!

Bess does an awesome job taking care of our yellow lab, Sam, when we are away. Her boys assist her in some of the duties and it is a family business full of family love for the four-legged creatures. If you are considering using her services stop thinking and just call her.
BEST BEST BEST Doggie daycare EVER! My dog is treated like family!
Bess was amazing! This was definitely the right place to leave our little 12 year old yorkshire terrier for a week. Bess treated rosie like she was part of her family. She also sent us pictures every day too, which we loved! Both me and my wife highly recommended using Riverbend Dog Daycare!
Bess is an amazing dogsitter! Our dog loves going to her house! She gets excited when we pull in the drive, a far cry from her previous wimpering because she knew she would be "left behind." A beautiful setting, with a large safely-fenced backyard, the dogs are incorporated into the family home and Bess sends pictures and videos to ease my doggie-mom heart while I am gone. I love the homespun feel of this place. There are no cages, no add ons for extras and plenty of creature comforts for your beloved pup!
Loves my dog, very easy to work with, great communication. Thank heavens I found this dog daycare.
Great place! My dog LOVES it here! She is worn out when we pick her up
Cute dog lady.
Bess is the best!
