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.

Sheelagh
honeybee was a great sitter for our 3 animals. She communicated very well throughout the sit. Our flight home was delayed and she was great about being able to cover the extra days. Her connection to the animals was wonderful. We were less organized than intended on her arrival due to some unexpected work issues, and she was great about rolling with the changes (e.g. the closet doors were missing as the painter hadn't finished with them). She used public transport to get to Golden and then drove our car while here. She left a few items behind, and her attention to kitchen cleanliness could be better, but we would definitely have her sit our pets again if the opportunity arises.
Nicole
This was our first time using a pet or house sitter and the bar set by Leslie is very high! She is warm, friendly, communicative, responsible and very clean. Upon arriving, she immediately bonded with our rat terrier, Oreo, by bringing him a new frisbee (his favorite toy/activity) and throwing it for him in our backyard. Leslie has a sweet and mellow dog, Benny, who is now Oreo's new buddy! She kept my husband and I updated via texts/pictures of their daily activities, our house, and was proactive in asking questions before she left. She even dropped our dog off at the kennel for one night at the end of our trip since our flight was too late for us to get home for him! Our home was clean and had fresh flowers from our garden that she put in vases for us! Such a simple and nice touch! We have asked Leslie to come back to sit for us again for 2 weeks in August. I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pet(s) and home too!
Katrina
Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.
Chris
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
Suzanne
Initially, I was very nervous about finding my very first in-home pet sitter who could provide the level of care and attention our 3 beloved fur-kids required. From the moment Emily and Johnny stepped into our home, I knew they were going to be in good hands. Their gentle demeanor and genuine love for animals instantly put our dogs Gypsy & Johnny at ease. Emily and Johnny took the time to understand our pets’ unique personalities and preferences, ensuring that their every need would be met. During our absence, Emily provided us with regular updates and adorable photos. Their detailed communication gave me peace of mind, knowing that my fur babies were in the best possible hands. Upon our return, we were greeted by a happy and contented gang, who clearly had enjoyed their time with Emily and Johnny. Emily and Johnny are more than just pet sitters; they are true companions to our furry family. Their exceptional care, genuine love for animals, and unwavering dedication have earned them a permanent spot in our hearts. Without hesitation, we give Emily and Johnny a 5-star rating and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving caregivers for their beloved pets. THANK YOU Emily and Johnny!!! <3
Caitlin
This was my first time using house sitters and Shanen and Ryan were wonderful. She sent me pictures of Calla and game me updates on Calla’s activities. She would be welcome to pet sit for me anytime!
Jenny
We've had many pet sitters over the years (this is our first time using this app) and Missy is the best sitter we've ever had for our dog and cats. Our pets, particularly our dog, adored her and was really sad to see her go. It is obvious she loves animals and immediately understood the pack dynamics and the pet personalities. She kept the house tidy, litter box clean, and the animals so well loved. Because she was traveling from far away, she stayed with us the night before our trip and the night we came back. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We would welcome her back to our house as a friend or a sitter anytime. Highly recommend!
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!
Abhishek
Kuldip exceeded all the expectations we had from a Zeewoi. She took over from another sitter when we got stuck out of country due to a family emergency. A highly energetic person yet extremely organized, she easily matched the energy level of my 2-year-old Border Collie Pavo. She not only exercised him multiple times every day, but even him bought him new doggy toys and treats (much appreciated!). She got along very well with our neighbor and with their combined help Pavo got a much needed doggy bath! With her by my dogs side we were worry-free and able to focus on our family needs. Lastly, she left a pleasant surprise when we came back home. Our home looked squeaky clean and beautifully organized. Kuldip is a gem of a pet sitter and we would love to have her back for our fur baby without any hesitation. I highly recommend her!
Marcia
Heath spent a long weekend at my home taking great care of both dogs and the cat. He was able to help out on rather short notice, and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in his care. Heath is friendly and reliable and left my home neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend him as a house/pet sitter for future assignments!

AMAZING dog sitters! Very kind people! Your dog will be loved while you are gone!
“There’s no place like home” …EXCEPT The Farmhouse ! Simply put, exceptional people who truly love our fur babies. The best !
We have used many different kennels over the years. There have been good, just okay and terrible ones. You always worry that your pet is going to be locked up in a cage for the duration of your absence and given the most basic amount of attention. These guys are different. They send you pictures of your dog playing with other dogs and give them snuggles and attention. They love what they do and you can tell. They have even helped us give our dog medication. Can't say enough good things about them.
Ed and Laura are the best! Just like sending the Kids to camp! We have 3 dogs and they all absolutely loved it here. A home away from home for sure. They had a blast with the other dogs. Thank you so very much.
Laura and Ed were so nice and friendly, and even tho Hannah really didn't really want to be there, I felt she was in good hands. They were able to let her out often, and she apparently "hung out" with their dogs. Much better there than at home alone when we have to be away. Thanks for giving me peace of mind!
These are the best people EVER! They not only care about the fur babies ,they care about the human's . I highly recommend this place no matter if it's for a few hours, Over night or weekend getaway they will take great car of your fur babies!
They are the best! My fur baby loves playing with the other dogs there. They are awesome to my spoiled pup.
SUPER GREAT PUPPY SITTERS! We're visiting for a week, and our dog needs to get out of the hotel room. Great day care and over night. Wish they were in our area!
Our little guy was happy. He was in great hands, and I definitely recommend them. I will certainly use them again.
The owners took very good care of our lab, Lacey, when we went out of town for a few days.

Jennifer grooms my senior dog and Murphy loves her. I totally trust her with him. She has also advised me about his dietary needs resulting in a much better fur coat and tail for my little one. Jennifer responded immediately to me when my dog had eaten a large amount of chocolate. She knew exactly what to do! She loves all animals and it shows.
I love Jennifer!! She has been grooming my labradoodle for over 2 years. She not only makes my Sasha look beautiful, she truly cares about my pets well being. Jennifer is a great person and I highly recommend her services.
Jennifer was fantastic to both my husband and myself and my Yorkie chi mix. My pup had a bad experience before so getting groomed scares her and when I got her back she was happy and excited. Not to mention when I had a schedule issue she took dozer in early to help us out. Thank you Jennifer we definitely recommend her and will most definitely be returning.
Jennifer has boarded our Labrador retriever many times. The lower level of her home is dedicated to her pet care and grooming business. So our dog has plenty of room to roam and is always happy when we drop her off. Her resident cat also loves dogs, so our dog always looks forward to hanging out with her feline friend.
Jenn has been grooming my 5 Yorkies for years. They love going to see her and getting pampered. She is very knowledgeable, very helpful. And, the best part.of it all she loves them all. We love you Jenn, keep up the great work.
Highly recommended for boarding! I have to travel frequently (for work) and need a trusted place to watch my large Doberman. The rates are very reasonable and Jennifer is very friendly and helpful! I've moved frequently and have tried many different kennels. Gulliver's Groom and Board is one of the only places my dog seems comfortable at when I drop her off.
I live an hour away and use The Happy Dog Paw to care for my fur family and fostered rescues. Jennifer has accommodated my hectic busy schedule, sometimes on shorter notice than I should even ask! It is clear to see that she loves what she does, not because she has to, but because she chooses to! Jennifer isn’t just my fur family groomer, she’s my new found friend❣️
My little pup loves doggy day care here! Always has non-stop fun and comes home nearly pooped out at the end of the day. Jennifer is great to work with and I totally trust my dog in her care. Thanks for everything you do!
Jennifer was amazing. So considerate, we had our pup groomed while boarded and she did a great job, stayed in contact while we were away, and we picked up happy, well adjusted dogs....
Jennifer was an absolute angel for us watching our dog with special needs - " Greg " had acute onset paralysis due to a herniated disc and bleeding requiring emergency surgery a year ago in April 2020. He has had a total of 3 surgeries over the course of a year and a half. He has been left with rear leg weakness/partial paralysis and since the last cervical neck surgery in December 2020 has not been able to void independently and requires a catheter to be passed once a day to get his urine out- like I said special needs!! He is a most beloved pet of the family and we have 4 people in our family that help care for him ( 2 of us are nurses). At any rate, it was looking impossible for my husband and I to get away for a weekend vacation as impossible to find caregivers to do what we do, and no one could board him and do it. When I contacted Jennifer, she listened to our story and did not hesitate to take him in her home. She had a great set up so he could have his own space/room and did so many things to make him comfortable and like one of her own. She kept her dogs upstairs and gave Greg the love and attention he was used to at home. She even allowed us to come when we wanted to do the catheterization once a day. She was truly amazing and allowed us a weekend away of relaxation with no worries. She had a wealth of information for us about diet, therapy, and even offered to help us learn how to manually express his bladder! ( She actually has rehabilitated dachshunds with paralysis). My husband couldn't even believe our luck in finding this person close to the vacation rental we were at! We are forever grateful for all the HOPE she instilled in us for Greg's continued recovery and ability to fully walk again. I plan on keeping in touch with this wonderful pet sitter and will use her again in a heartbeat. Anyone that gives her a rating less than 5 cannot be trusted! She deserves a 10 if I could give it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took good care of Sarge he normally is very anxious, when getting his nails done. She took excellent care of him. Very reasonable rates.
My dog has been there twice now and she's enjoyed it. She is well cared for and happy when we pick her up. She got a bath and nails trimmed this last visit. I highly recommend your pet to stay there 😃 …
This is always our first choice to take our dog to. Staff is friendly and we always have a happy dog when we pick him up. We always get him the wash and nail trim the day before we pick him up. Been here many times and never have had any issues.
When I lived in Gaylord, this was my go-to for my two little dogs when I would travel out of state for work. My girls were always happy when I dropped them off. On their last day, I would have them groomed and they always smelled so good when I came to pick them up! Pricing is competitive/fair for the area. If I still lived up north, I would continue to take ky dogs here!
I have a very problematic little rescue dog. He’s very aggressive and violent. My dog has been rejected from the groomers before. Green Valley not only accepted him but they can handle him and he comes out looking gorgeous. This place is the best.
This is a great kennel, I've called all over the place looking for somewhere that would clip my cat's nails. I came in half an hour after calling and she quickly clipped the nails. Very friendly, fantastic with animals, great service.
Our Springer does not like to be groomed, Elaine took him in and did a fantastic job! He loves the water and now will be able to go swimming and not take hours to dry!
OMG!!!! I had my doubts on how easy it woukd be to get my new Girl a MANI AND PEDI !!! It started off pretty challenging...as Mrs. Green was alone...MOCHA...a 70lb Shepherd Huskie mix was not happy...got to the platform fine...the neck loop...fine...the girth cushion fine....first paw....Hold on...I asked if I could hold her head and muzzle..she allowed it...less than 2 minutes later....DONE!!!!! $10 BUCKS??? Are you kidding me???? Well Mrs. G was closing for her vacation in Sun & Surf land.....I thought I'd tip an extra $20.00 for a round of Drinks....WITH UMBRELLAS!!!!!! THANK YOU GREEN VALLEY KENNELS!!! Mocha feels so much better!!!
Absolutely amazing! My dog's were well cared for and she was very sweet and communicative with anything we needed to ensure we were leaving our dogs in great hands.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I feel my fur babies are well taken care of when they are in their care.
