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.

Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
Jenna
Felecia was an excellent sitter and perfect companion for Livi, our 3 yr old Aussie mix! She was always prompt with communication when needed, took great care of our pet and house and was just as clean coming home as we left it. I would not hesitate to recommend Felecia for other sits.
Jenny
Sharon was by far the best sitter I’ve ever had! From the very first time we connected, she was communicative and proactive with follow up. She asked great questions prior to her stay and I could tell she’s done this many times and that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes she cares for. Sharon went above and beyond to leave my house in ever better shape, cleaning and organizing. It was a dream to come home to! Thank you Sharon!
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.
Simon
BriAnna was our first pet sitter and we loved her :). She made every step very simple for us, communication was great, Pastis and Anubis seemed to be very happy with her, and the house was very clean when we came back. We highly recommend BriAnna to take care of your pets and we would love to have her back!
Evelyn & Jeff
Carolina was a fantastic Pet sitter. From the beginning, it was straightforward to communicate with her. She met us before we left our trip and ensured she understood all the house and pet logistics. Luna and Cal were very comfortable with her and were best friends with her fast. She was very affectionate with them, and Luna and Cal loved her and were very happy with her. Carolina was very responsive and sent updates. She was really lovely and easy to communicate with. She was very respectful of our space and very tidy. She even washed the sheets and towels she used even when she didn’t need to. She put a lot of care into caring for Luna and Cal, and they looked very comfortable with her. Having Carolina as a pet sitter made our trip very easy, knowing our pets were cared for so well. We would love to have her back to sit for us again and highly recommend her.
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!
Dean
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

Laura was amazing with communication from the very beginning. She sent updates of photos and videos without even being told or asked to do so. She was watching our cat and treated her like her own. Laura was also very responsive when we were trying to find a sitter for our dates and answered any and all questions we had about her experience with pets and house sitting. I would recommend her to anyone! :) and hope we can have her house sit again for us.
Shelley
Absolutely Incredible.... I will not lie, I was hesitant because David did not have any pet sits before this one (gotta start somewhere) but because he did the background check I decided to contact him. We had a great phone conversation and the decision was made. He came to my house the night before I was leaving to learn all the ins and outs of taking care of my fur babies and then put himself up in a hotel for the night before the sit date. The next day he came over in the morning to learn a few more details before I left. I could not have chosen a better house sitter for my 2nd house sit . David communicated with me daily, sent pictures and we spoke via facetime. My little guy was feeling sick when David started and with diligence, love and kindness he was able to get my little guy eating again and feeling better. I would invite David back into my home over and over again but I am pretty sure he is going to be in high demand. Thank you David for everything!

Can’t say enough good things!! My puppy Sugar Gurl is 8 months old and has a lot of energy. Just went on vacation and needed doggie day care daily. Maggie’s is absolutely perfect!! My dog was so excited the second we got to the house and was sad to leave. The prices are reasonable and Maggie is so friendly. I get pictures and videos throughout the day, and communication her is fantastic. Maggie also has extensive impressive credentials. Highly recommend!! I know it can be sad leaving your pet with someone but it’s easier when you know they’re happy to be there! Love them!!
My dog Mamba loves going to Maggie's and spending time with her and all his friends! Maggie is great with my dog who is very high energy. I trust her with him and feel at ease when she is watching him when I am away. Last week was his birthday and I sent him to Maggie's for the day, and she took photos of him for me wearing the cutest birthday hat and gave him a goodie bag with lots of treats. Every time I pull up to Maggie's house, my dog is super excited and can't wait to go inside. Highly recommend!
I cannot say enough positive things about Maggie!! She’s fantastic with all kinds of dogs (I have a blue nose pit). She treats all the dogs with the individual attention they need. She’s professional, responsive and reliable. Maggie’s did an initial interview with our pup to make sure he mixes well, which I appreciated. My fur kid sees Maggie 1-2x/a week for daycare. We’ve also used Maggie’s boarding services when my husband and I have traveled, and Boston feels right at home. Maggie has been our sitter over a year, and I highly recommend you trust her with your fur baby!
Maggie is amazing! Being a new dog mom I had a lot of anxiety leaving our puppy for the first time during a family vacation. I knew from our meet and greet with Maggie our puppy would be in great hands. Maggie is extremely organized, knowledgeable, professional and loving to her pups! She has thought of everything! Boarding was so simple and stress free with her. We received updates while away and Maggie even did a little Easter photo shoot with our puppy. We will definitely be using Maggie again for our next vacation!
We can’t rave enough about our stay. Our boys are polar opposite brothers & had wonderful care during their stay. Dino is a 130lb Bernese Mountain Dog & TeddyBear is a 40lb Keeshond both came home happy & by the updates & photos from Maggie life was good while we were gone. Just knowing that they were in good hands made our VaCa more enjoyable! We will most definitely be spending more time here! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We picked Maggie's Doggie Care based on her wonderful reviews. Our Max is a 10+ y/o bulldog and based on his age and knowing he would be happier in home we decided to use her Pet Sitting Service. We were not disappointed at all! Maggie was super with Max, she not just feed and let him out... she gave him his meds 3 times a day, watered my garden plants, brought in the mail, took the garbage out on garbage day, texted & sent pics everyday we were on vacation. AND she took care of all Max's oopsie's (he's a messy old man :) ). When we returned there was a detailed journal of everything she & Max did while we were away. Never again will I ever use another pet service. She was amazing and we were extremely happy with the job she did.
My dog was well taken care of while there the first time; the second time she had apparently rolled around in excrement and was attempted to be bathed or sprayed clean to no avail. Nothing was said to us, but we bathed her as soon as we got her home and I didn’t complain. However, this business is severely lacking in responses to phone calls and text messages. As a repeat customer for the third time, our travel plans changed and I accepted that I would lose my fully paid $280 boarding fee, but I never received a “thanks for understanding our policy” response, or any acknowledgement of payment or cancellation. In spite of this, I reached out about rescheduling, but never received a response. Since my dog’s pictures were used to promote the business, it feels a little like theft. A response would have been nice…and maybe a $10 discount on a future stay. After generous tipping and bringing back gifts from our trip, it’s a reasonable expectation if you know how to run a business. Highly overrated.
Maggie is top notch! She is a true professional and highly compassionate. She took such great care of our miniature dachshund (sweet but extremely shy) for my wedding weekend and gave me updates/kept me looped in. When I came to pick her up, she was completely fine and settled right back in when we got home. I honestly felt safe trusting my baby girl with her and will be bringing her back! I highly recommend her - she’s an expert and the best!!
I feel so fortunate to have found Maggie to take care of my 2 pups. Both of them require medication and one had severe anxiety and could not be left alone when I first got her. I explained everything to Maggie and she had no problems with taking care of them. Well that was 3 years ago and I’ve been using Maggie’s boarding and daycare services since then. If you want your pups to be treated to the same environment that they are in when they are at home then Maggie is your girl. I highly recommend Maggie Doggie Daycare.
We HIGHLY recommend Maggie and her doggie care services! She has looked after our 3 year old pitbull ever since he was a puppy and treats him like one of her pack. He gets his own vacation at Maggie’s home whenever we go out of town – he loves playing in the yard all day with the other dogs and then relaxing with Maggie at night. She is reliable and responsive and is extremely flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We love getting text updates and pictures while we are away! When our dog was still recovering from ACL surgery, Maggie was very mindful of his limitations. She made sure he never ‘overdid it’ and happily accommodated his need for ‘alone time’. Maggie clearly prioritizes the well-being of all her dogs. A few months ago there was a lost dog in our neighborhood and Maggie was KEY in reuniting the pup with his family. I asked her to just be on the lookout, but she went above and beyond by posting on social media and directing us to other sites which led to sightings … and ultimately to the reunion! We trust our dog with Maggie and are lucky to have found her, especially as many kennels in the area won’t even accept pitbulls. Don’t hesitate – book with Maggie and your dog will thank you for it!
