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
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
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
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.

Andrea
We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
Lynn
Another amazing sit by Anna and her lovely family - our cocker spaniel Holly has had the best fortnight with these guys with lots of adventures and endless amounts of love and attention! Highly recommend as 5-star house and pet sitters - thank you Anna - hope to see you again!
Wendy
Lani is an excellent Pet Sitter and housesitter. Communication was easy, our pet Cleo appreciated her loving care. We came home to a relaxed and happy cat. I would happily ask Lani to housesit again.
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!
Laura
Davis and Sydney were loving sitters for our pets. We even had an extra cat (our son's) and they took great care of all of the pets and our home. The pictures and the comments they sent showed us they figured out all of their quirky personalities very fast. It was nice to come home to a clean house and all pets were safe and happy! We would ask them back again.
Bonnie
Bard and Kim are amazing house sitters and pet care givers. I would recommend them over and over. I wish I could add numbers to the scale. They would get a 10+. Bard and Kim were super easy to work with, efficient, self-sufficient, and considerate. They took immaculate care of my home; it was definitely cleaner after they left! I would recommend them without hesitation over and over.
Michelle
Elaine was the best dog and cat sitter I have ever had! She was so loving to the boys, kind, reliable, capable and took fabulous care of my two dogs and cat welfare. Walked them every day and would even sing to them (-: I am so very grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting Elaine and I would recommend Elaine to anyone wanting first class care of pets and home!!! We all miss having her around and wish her a fabulous world trip and safe journey back to the States.
Megan
I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
Sally
Toby and we were SO lucky to have Tom be our home and pet sitter for our Thanksgiving Holiday trip! From the very beginning Tom was responsive and communicative. He was even able to arrange a "meet and greet" with us and Toby before beginning his stay. While here Tom took great care of our home, and, most importantly, provided wonderful care of Toby! When we got home everything was in perfect order and we could tell that even though Toby was happy to see us he was going to miss Tom. I would be thrilled if we could have Tom as our zeewoi again. You will be lucky if he can do the same for you. :)
Kerry
Jessica was an awesome pet sitter for my cat Fifi. She texted photos and updates everyday so I knew that Fifi was being well cared for. She was communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she understood Fifi's needs. My home was equally as clean (if not more so) upon my return. I would highly recommend Jessica!

Thank you Jeff and team for providing such exceptional care for Lucy while we were on vacation! Welcott Farm is the BEST and the ONLY boarding facility for our beloved rescue dog! Lucy had a pawsome time making new friends and she enjoyed the snuggles from the staff!
I've been bringing my dog to Welcott Farm for over 3 years & she loves it there! It's her "home away from home." The owner & the staff are knowledgeable & caring.
We brought our rescue dog, Lucy, to Welcott Farm for boarding while we traveled out of the country. We received updates from Jeff and team and were happy to hear that Lucy was making new friends including Anton! Lucy had lots of play time and snuggles with the staff. Welcott Farm was accommodating with Lucy's meal requirements and we picked her up freshly bathed. They were sad to see Lucy go but knew that we would bring her back for her next adventure. The staff was nothing short of AMAZING! Thank you Jeff and team for the exceptional care of Lucy who means the world to us!
Tim and Jeff watched our puppy, Stevie, while on vacation for 10 days. We were very nervous about leaving her with anyone for this time. When I dropped her off, they were so reassuring that they had it under control and would take great care of her, which they did. They sent us photos of her almost daily and took great care of her. Stevie made some great dog friends there and I'm sure she can't wait to get back. Thanks guys!
Unbelievable puppy/dog retreat! My puppy Siku has been going here since 8 weeks old (now 6 months) and she loves the owners, staff and experience she has at Welcott Farm!
We used their doggy daycare while vacationing in the area and had a wonderful experience. They were quick to respond to my message and able to accommodate our dog the next day. The facility is beautiful, clean and organized. The drop off and pick up was a breeze and our puppy was very happy and tired at the end of her play date. We wish this facility was near our home. We would be regulars. Thanks for taking such good care of our dog and allowing us to leave her with peace of mind.
Welcott is such an amazing place for our dogs to play and expend some of that terrier energy. The facility is stunning with a great outdoor space and pristine interiors. It is only equal to the time, care and kindness provided by Jeff and his team. We are beyond thrilled to have Welcott in the area. Their commitment to rescues like ours also makes it a pleasure to bring our dogs there. Highly recommended.
Welcott Farm is an amazing property and our dogs Wolfe and Indi love going there! We we're so happy to find a doggy daycare and boarding facility with nice outdoor spaces for the dogs. Jeff and Tim are very accommodating and responsive. You know you're fur babies are well cared for.
We just adopted a 2-year-old shelter dog who is still trying to adjust. She's only been there two days for doggie daycare and you can already tell the difference, I was amazed and grateful to see her running around the yard with about 10 other dogs. Nice people, I highly recommend.
This place is fantastic! We were in from out of town and decided to give Welcott Farm a call to see if our pooch, Chuck, could come out for a few hours to burn some energy. After we sent over his vet records, they called us back and we brought him out. Chuck was so happy, and so tired, when we picked him up. We decided, on our short commute from the farm back to where we were staying, to take him back there two more times. It's clean, they have space for the dogs to run and plenty of other dogs to run around with.

I cannot recommend Whispering Pines enough. It is evident that they care about the animals they are watching. My rottie loves Emerson to bits and it shows every day when I bring her. I know she is well looked after and they take seriously any and all concerns I have raised for my pooch. Even when we had issues with my dog eating fluffy toys while at day care I knew that they really did start keeping a closer eye on her and the toys she had to play with, unlike other day cares I have tried in the area. Competitive prices, and the best care.
Left our 2 babies for 3 days. Staff was amazing, kennel was clean and dogs seemed well cared for. They post pictures on there fb page daily, which is nice. I would highly recommend. We will be using Whispering Pines in the future.
My dog absolutely loved his time here. no issues whatsoever, he came home happy, smelling good, and it was like nothing changed. proves there are great doggie hotels out here!!!
Have boarded my dog here a few times and daycare several times. Highly recommend. One of the only places with in/out kennels and plenty of room in their own kennel in addition to the big yard. The people are friendly and my dog loves it here!
I boarded my dog at Whispering Pines for 2 nights. It was a last minute arrangement and I was so happy to be able to get her a spot. She is very skittish but seemed to do well there, and she got to be outside to interact with other dogs, which she loves. I will be using them from now on, hopefully.
I have been taking my two large dogs here for about a year. I leave for work from 2-4 weeks at a time every couple months. My dogs are always happy and ready to go as soon as we pull into the drive. Friendly staff and I couldn’t be happier.
They always take great care of our dog, Lily. She is very shy and anxious but she quickly learned to love whispering pines as her “hotel” for when we are out of town.
We have placed our pets here whenever we need to travel and they never let us down. Whispering pines dog Kennel is the perfect place for your pets because they are professional yet friendly and they really do a great job of taking care of your pets. Also their prices are just right , Thank you Whispering Pines.. see you soon. The Barnes
My dog Tyson has had some issues at other kennels. He needs lots of love and attention and he gets all of that at Whispering Pines. I will never take him anywhere else. You guys are awesome. Thanks for taking such great care of my puppy.
We have been boarding our two dogs At Whispering Pines for more than 10 years. Every time we drive down the road to the kennel, my dogs are enthusiastically waging their tails and whimpering in excitement. They are so happy to see their second family! I cannot say enough about how well cared for my dogs are while boarding here.
