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.

Sneha
Tom provided a last minute sit when my 2 week long trip got extended to the 3rd. The previous zeewoi sitter was no longer available for the 3rd week, and Tom came in as a savior. As requested, he started his sit a day prior to the posted dates (thank you for being flexible). He met the prior zeewoi in person, since I was not in town, and got to know the house and cats quickly. He sent pictures of the cats each day and added a note about their well being. He was independent and was able to figure out how to use the litter genie on his own. I returned to a clean home and healthy happy cats. Would love to have Tom return and recommend him to anyone leaving their pets in his care.
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.
Shonagh
Duncan was an excellent pet sitter and looked after our old girl Cookie really well.
Nanette
Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home :) We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there! They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.
Robert
Melissa did an AWESOME job with our 4 pets! Her personal style and communication via text, video, and pics were stellar and super comforting while we were out of town for 2 weeks. She showed up before the sit to go over instructions for the pet care and was even here when we returned (before she left for her next engagement). You would never know this was her first TH sit. She quickly earned our trust, asked for clarification when needed, and overall is just a GREAT PERSON!! Her kindness showed through in the care of each and every one of our furry babies. She will be a great sitter for others and is looking to travel across and see more of the US while remote working. We have adopted her into our family and she is welcome in our home anytime. Our whole family hopes to see her again-either for a visit and/or for a sit :) Thank you, Thank you, Melissa!!!
Chris
Jacob sat for us during our holiday in March. We do not have any pets but we do have garden plants etc to look after. Jacob did a fantastic job of looking after the young plants that had arrived by post the day before we went away. He sent us regular updates and photos of how the plants were doing. We came home to a very clean and tidy house and thriving plants. Jacob did a great job and we have no hesitation in recommending him. If he comes back to the Uk and we require a sitter we will contact him first. Well done Jacob.
Jeanette
I have had 4 pet sitters this year so far. And Liz was the best! She was wonderful with cats. She has an easy going manner and is very comfortable to be around. Very smart and she is a great communicator. She followed all directions and left the house spotless. I highly, highly, highly recommend her! I would have her again anytime!
Tina
If you’re lucky enough to find Anna as your pet sitter you will have peace of mind and well cared for pets whilst you are away and a clean and tidy home on your return. Anna is thoughtful and kind, she arrived the evening before the sit which allowed for some time to hear about her interesting travels and work, kept me updated with fabulous photos and details of the friendship she was making with the cats and even took the trouble to fix a sticky catch on the cat flap. I can recommend her as a sitter without hesitation. Thank you Anna
Wanda
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda
Mara
Jerry and Suzanne were absolutely ideal sitters for our home and pets. We spoke with them ahead of their visit and could tell that they are genuine pet and travel lovers. Over their stay we got to see even more that they are wonderfully friendly, kind, and responsible - plus they kept us laughing with their updates and descriptions of our pets' antics while we were away. Our pets and plants were well loved and our house was spotless upon our return home, and they were even kind enough to leave a few goodies in the fridge. Our dog in particular seemed to miss them and their long walks around the neighborhood. Thank you Jerry and Suzanne! We wish you well in your travels!

HIGHLY Recommend!!!!! Meg is amazing!!! I have two cats with very different needs & personalities ,one can’t get enough attention and the other very shy, Meg recently provided in-home cat care, ( for the 2nd time ) provided individual needs & love for my cats…. She is extremely dependable, …she respected my home and the details of care that we discussed ahead of time (during our meet and greet ) were met beyond my hopes , she is very loving, sent pictures /videos daily while I was away on an 18 day vacation !!!! Looking forward to her next visit, my kitties & I love her! Thank You Meg :)
Meg is AMAZING! We have an adopted senior pup who struggles with some anxiety and socialization issues, but Meg has made his walks and vacation care a breeze! She’s awesome with our pup and so patient with him (probably more patient than I am with him 😊). I trust her 10000% to take the best care of Tiger. I know he’s always in good hands! Highly recommend! She even sends me adorable pictures while he’s out for his afternoon walk.
Meg has assisted us several times with our Pug pups Sammy and Sassy. We first met her last year and we tried her for a short weekend, and she did an amazing job keeping an eye on them at our house. She has helped us out recently for a long vacation. She came by the house three time a day to feed and care for our dogs. We highly recommend her services. Thanks Meg!
Meg is an absolute life saver. I first reached out to her to inquire if she'd watch my puppy for daycare. After making sure her temperment was in order Meg accepted our pup. Our Hazel is an absolute sweetheart but like any dog, needs strong socialization to know what's acceptable behavior and what's not. It was night and day when we brought her back home. She not only was exhausted from a long day of having fun, but her puppy biting stopped dramatically. Thank you so much Meg. If you have any doubts, just do what I did and give her a call. You will not be disappointed!
I met Meg when I needed help socializing my dog Stihl. We rescued him 3 years ago when i was a stay at home mom during the pandemic. I recently went back to work and felt he needed a companion; however stihl had never really been around others dogs before. She was so patient working with me, Stihl and the new potential dog taking repeated walks to slowly acclimate them to eachother. I can happily say I now have 2 beautiful huskies who absolutely love eachothers company thanks to her hard work and dedication to creating a safe and happy pack within our home. I am fortunate to have found her and her expertise!! 💕
I have been sending all three of my dogs to Meg for over a year, and they love it! Meg has such great experience and provides a safe, loving experience for all the dogs. I use her for day and vacation care. I completely trust her with my fur babies. She’s awesome - highly recommend!!!
Meg is simply the best! We board our dog at Second Chance Pet Sitting every time we travel out of town. He is always well taken care of while there and he looks forward to going back each and every time. She sends videos, pictures and provides us updates so we know how he's doing while in her care. We never have to worry about him and we know he's in good hands with Meg. She genuinely cares about all the animals in her care and we trust her completely. She is a gem and we feel very blessed to have found her.
We have been using Meg's services for this past year, and words can not describe how much of a life saver she has been for my husband and me. We feel fully trustful leaving our girl in the care of Meg because we know she will be well taken care of and get a chance to interact and release her energy with the many other dogs at Second Chance Pet Sitting. Meg is incredibly accommodating, and this makes everything so much easier. Most importantly, our dog was quite young and had some behavioral issues when we first started using Meg's services, but Meg has gone above and beyond to help correct her behavior and now our dog is behaving so much better thanks to Meg's help! Elena, Andrew and our dog Kira
Our dog Blue just loves Meg at Second Chance Pet sitting! Meg has been watching Blue since she was a puppy and has had such a wonderful impact. We feel so comfortable leaving our dogs in Meg’s hands knowing how knowledgeable she is and having watched her loving interactions with the animals. My husband and I can’t recommend her more!
We first met Meg when we were looking for a mid-day walk for our puppy during long work days. In the year since, Percy has had many dog play dates, stayed with Meg during our vacations, and participated in doggie day care during the week. Meg is attentive, kind, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and always gives updates on how our dog is doing while we are away. We always know that our girl is in the best hands when we leave. Our dog begs to go to Meg's house and cries when it's time to leave. For over a year Meg has made our dog, Percy, feel like family and we are so grateful we found her! I 100% recommend Second Chance Pet Sitting to anyone looking for care for their pet.

My dog had so much fun! The staff is super friendly and we enjoyed having a tired out dog for the rest of the day. I loved seeing her play on the live cameras. I was afraid she wouldn't be accepted since she is a big dog with a lot of energy but the staff was very knowledgeable and didn't have any issues with her. Definitely recommend!
Responsible staff who care and interact with your pup! We love the extra activities too! And we love the new addition with Rachel!! If you have a doodle she’s a MUST, and overall grooming she’s AMAZING! It’s so wonderful to know we have a kind and patient groomer we can trust. Especially with a Sheepadoodle with challenging hair. GO SEE RACHEL! And a pit stop at daycare is so enriching for your pup!! Cannot recommend Camp Bow Wow enough!
From grooming to boarding, they’ve nailed it! Kind and caring folks watch over your precious pup every day. Rachael is an AMAZING groomer! Knows her stuff, sweet demeanor, my dogs favorite person!!
Our dog loves coming to camp! Everyone is so friendly and attentive to the dogs. I'd highly recommend Camp Bow Wow to anyone who is looking for daycare and boarding.
Camp Bow Wow is an absolutely amazing place! It's incredibly tidy and the staff there is exceptionally friendly and genuine. They genuinely care about the dogs that enter their doors! The live camera feature is definitely a wonderful addition as well. It allows you to easily keep an eye on how your furry friend is doing! Moreover, the dog groomer is extremely skilled and always prioritizes the well-being of the dogs. She's also very understanding and attentive to your specific requirements. I highly recommend everyone to visit this place!
We love having Camp Bow Wow so close to our home. There are lovely people that work with the pups, and the prices are very affordable. Highly recommend!
Leo loves going to camp, when he gets home he's exhausted from playing all day. Stephanie and the rest of the staff are great with Leo and are very friendly. We highly recommend Camp Bow Wiw
Couldn't say enough on how much we love Camp Bow Wow! They love our dog like their own and they are so nice every time! Super happy with this service!
We were so excited when this facility opened so close to our home. We are new to owning a puppy as we have always had young adult dogs or seniors. The staff have been so welcoming, informative, and consistent when it comes to the love and care they show our girl, Helena (Helly). She’s a puppy and is full of energy! They welcome her with open arms every day she goes to play and we look forward to watching her grow with Camp Bow Wow! I highly recommend this facility!
Took my pup for her first grooming appointment. She came out looking amazing and everybody was super friendly. Will definitely be going back!

Angela is absolutely terrific and we are blessed to have found her for our senior golden. We agree that she is responsive and highly reliable. From the first meet and greet, Angela demonstrated a level of professionalism, knowledge and understanding that left no doubt she was the right fit to stay in our home. She took exceptional care of, not only our dog, but our home as well. We received regular updates while we were gone, and we enjoyed peace of mind knowing that our aging pooch was in good hands - truly custom care. We will recommend Angela as often as we can and hope that her business continues to succeed.
Angela is absolutely amazing... She recently did a 7 night pet sitting job in our home to watch over our 2 dogs while we were out of town. Angela was absolutely respectful of our home and provided us with pictures and updates during the week. She stayed over a few extra hours on the last day as we were returning later than expected... and she even came back after we arrived to tell us everything that happened with our buddies during the week. She is caring, trustworthy, and reliable... our dogs absolutely love her and we are so fortunate to have her to love on our dogs when we have to go out of town. 5 stars all the way!!!!
Angela is Awesome. She is responsive and reliable. We lived in the area for 3 years and our only regret was not finding her sooner! She watched our animals for both long and short trips while we were out of town. Angela consistently provided us with check ins and photos. Both our cat and dog were extremely happy and in good hands. We recently moved. Diamond in the Ruff will be one of the businesses we miss most!
I have been working with Pet/House sitters for over 28 years. It is rare that you find someone who takes as good a care of your pets as they do your house. My six pets eat at different times in different locations all day long. Angela was not only able to adapt to this complicated schedule, but did it with a positive attitude. I have a nine-year-old GSD and two little Bostons on two the other four-months-old. I don’t like creating the puppy for long periods of time. In addition to spending the night with the pets on two separate occasions, Angela came for babysitting mornings. After her first stay, Angela, gave me some very useful tips on housebreaking the little one. Her input and help on this has been very valuable. Angela sent updates, photographs and asked questions when necessary. I’ve also worked with Angela as a trainer with very positive outcomes. Her prices are reasonable. I’m very happy to have Diamond in the Ruff Pet Care as a go to resource for supporting my pets.
Angela was able to fit us into her schedule for a few overnights for a last minute trip. She was great with our three dogs when she came over to meet them. She came over to play with them several times a day and was very reasonable priced! She provided updates and pictures while we were away. We will definitely be using Diamond in the Ruff again!
The pet sitter we had been using went back to college and we needed to find someone at the last minute. We have 3 small dogs who do not accept strangers very well so we were a bit worried. They took to Angela almost right away. We highly recommend her, she is professional, reliable, absolutely trustworthy, and obviously a dog lover. Everything was perfect, allowing us to enjoy our vacation without concern. She sent pictures of our dogs daily with nice notes on their status.
Angela treats my puppy as if he were the only Lab on this earth! I travel & Angela stays and when I return the home is in better condition then when I left. Angela calls when she’s in the area to see if she can stop by and play with my puppy. Never experienced someone as devoted as this young professional!!!
MS. ANGELA is very flexible and available at all times and day. Very responsive and willing to accomodate to our needs. Not only did she help with socializing her and such but our dog, Azuka gets really happy to have Angela play and walk. She is very knowledgeable about dog training and gives reliable suggestions. We got her booked for weekly walks, worth it.
One of my cats has diabetes that requires 2 shots a day. Knowing she was in good hands made me feel better. Also my little one who doesn’t come out for anyone, showed her face on the first visit. Highly recommend Angela and her services.
I'm thrilled that Diamond In The Ruff is available to provide in home dog care. Angela is professional and knowledgeable, and my dogs adore her!

Arelys is amazing! She has been boarding my dog Otis for 2 years now. He was very shy when he first met her and she took the time to get to know him and make him extra comfortable. Now he loves getting to spend time with her and her pup. Arelys is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, caring, and responsible. I love that she always sends me pictures and updates of my dog during his visits and it feels good to know that he is happy and having fun. I totally recommend Drooling Pups!
My dog has been so happy and by extension, so has our family. Arelys is flexible, kind, and so knowledgeable about animals, even the super anxious ones. You can tell she really loves dogs and she will take such great care of yours too!
Arelys is the person to trust with my doggo. Drooling pups has been amazing and reliable. Thank you for all you do and the dedication to our pets.
Arelys is the best. We've trusted her with our dogs for years and they have a great time every time. They come back happy and relaxed, and she sends lots of great pictures of them playing with their little friends. I strongly recommend sending your dog over.
Arelys is the best! We don’t board our dog often, but when we do, we go to Drooling Pups. She keeps them active and the only thing you need to provide is dog food. She has everything…love it!
There's truly no place like home, and that's exactly what your dog will experience under Arelys' care. She treats each pup like family, showering them with love and attention. Her beautiful home, complete with a large fenced-in yard, offers ample space for furry friends to roam and play or simply relax indoors. Arelys' flexible schedule accommodates busy lifestyles, and she's always willing to provide overnight stays. Her own sweet dog, ILSA, is a wonderful companion for visiting canines. Whether you're nearby or far away, Drooling Pups is the perfect choice for a home away from home. I wholeheartedly recommend Arelys' services and encourage anyone seeking reliable and loving care for their beloved pet to reach out. Thank you, Arelys, for taking such great care of my boy, Felix
Drooling pups is the best. We trusted Arelys with our three-year old Pomsky Lily, when we were out of town. Before our trip, we met Arelys and her dog Ilsa to see if we were a match before she agreed to watch Lily. She was very professional and knowledgable as she shared her background and answered all of our questions. While we were on our trip, Arelys sent us updates with pictures and some videos, which really put us at ease as we saw how happy and comfortable Lily was at Drooling pups. We were happy with entire experience, and will be using them again.
We cannot recommend Arelys enough. She takes care of the dogs with so much love and affection. ILSA is the best sidekick too. Our pup never looks back when it’s time to hang with Arelys. It truly feels like leaving him with his other family. She continues to be the only dogsitter we use even though we are an hour away. We’re so grateful we found her.
