Beth and Matthew have been my first house sitters - and I was their first house sit too. Beth and Matthew have been great. I was a little nervous as this was the first time I've the zeewoi platform and service. Beth contacted me to let me know that one of my dogs had a sore on her chest and sent me a video to let me see and decide what to do. We agreed my dog needed to be seen by a vet and within a few hours my dog had antibiotics. Beth even popped into a shop to buy my dog a jumper to wear as the vet had recommended this to stop her scratching the sore. When I got home Beth had washed all their bedding and the house was clean and tidy. Both Beth and Matthew are a lovely couple and I would definitely recommend them both if you are looking for reliable and trustworthy house and pet sitters.
Erica was great! Easy to communicate with and very self -sufficient when we ended up being out of service for several days. Pingo and the house were clearly in good hands, we came back to a spotless house with a freshly made bed and a happy dog. We'd definitely have Erica again!
I am so grateful to Victoria for taking such wonderful care of my elder cats,, Zoe and Mischief, my home and my garden! She stayed in touch, and even sent photos of Zoe and Mischief, which further reassured me that my kitties and my home were in good hands while I was away. In short, I feel lucky to have connected with Victoria through zeewoi, wouldn't hesitate to call on her again, and recommend her without reservation.
This was my first time using zeewoi. Not only did I have to prepare my home for a guest but prepare myself for leaving my boys with someone I had only met through a zoom call. Right away, I was put at ease as Sharon just gravitated right to my boys. She asked questions about info that I had missed in my welcome pack that made me rest assured that she was on the ball. Throughout my trip, Sharon kept in touch with me about how the boys were getting along... I was so relieved hearing that their usual playful selves was apparent. Given that our flight home was going to be late, she insisted on waiting until we were heading out of the airport before leaving the boys with their last walk until we came home. When we walked through our front door, the boys were chilling out, our home was spotless, and she even washed the bedding. I can recommend Sharon with 100% certainty that your pets will be in great hands. Thanks Sharon for everything.
Jaclyn was a wonderful sitter for our dog Tucker! She was always quick to respond to communications, she was easy-going and excited to sit with Tucker, she shared updates (with pictures) while we were away, and she left our house cleaner than when we left - she even ran the dishwasher, which we forgot to do before we left! She and Tucker bonded immediately, and when we returned home it was clear that he had a great time with Jaclyn. We can't recommend her highly enough!
I can’t say enough good things about Felicia! She was willing to come over ahead of time so we could meet her. Lele took an instant liking to her (and I think it was mutual).😁 Felicia showed up on time, checked in on a regular basis while I was away, and sent photos of Lele, too. I tend to over prepare, and Felicia was accepting of that and helped me feel okay about my preparation and absence. I felt very comfortable leaving, knowing the most important thing, Lele, was well taken care of. This is my first time using zeewoi, so I didn’t really know what to expect. Felicia far exceeded all of my hopes and expectations. I would absolutely love to have Felicia come back again!
I am so glad that my cat, Duque, and I met Sharon! She is a wonderful person, very kind with pets, thorough with house care and communicative. Sharon's cleaning (and brownies!) went above and beyond and my cat did not seem to have missed me much when I got home. I recommend Sharon if she applies for your sit and we hope to welcome her back to our home one day.
Julie and Adrian were ideal pet and house sitters. Julie and Damian are very friendly and made sure to go over details and ask questions when they arrived. We came home to very happy and contented pets. Our dog and cat clearly got lots of love and attention (also clear from the great photos that Julie and Adrian sent us). The house was immaculate when we came home. We could not ask for better, more trusted, house sitters.
Although they are experienced pet sitters this was their first sit with zeewoi and they were wonderful. Jyoti (our cat) was completely at ease and spent plenty of time on their laps. The chickens were well looked after and they managed the broody one efficiently. Excellent communication before and during the house sit. They followed our detailed instructions conscientiously and left the house clean and tidy. They cooked a meal for us on our return and we enjoyed getting to know them. We would welcome them back any time and highly recommend them for future sits.
Lea was so wonderful, we highly recommend her. She was friendly and communicative throughout, sending us daily updates and photos. We returned back to a beautifully cleaned house and a very happy cat, we are so grateful- she was an absolute delight

Such a great place for little dogs. The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable. You know your dog is in safe hands when they are at daycare. They give lots of photo, video and verbal updates at the end of the day. My dog loves going to daycare each week and leaves happy and very tired. Highly recommend!!
Our spoiled boy loves coming here. They really care that everyone has a good time and will give you an honest update at pick-up. Follow them on Insta and you might get to see your baby be a social media star!
Our dog, Finch, was cared for here three or four days a week for two years. It is by far the best dog daycare we have come across. The staff are fantastic and really seem to love the dogs. The dogs all seem so calm and, well, ‘content’!
Roxy our schnoodle goes once a week and has a blast every time. The staff are fantastic and it's reasonably priced. Highly recommend but be aware its for smaller dogs.
I can’t speak highly enough of the Contented Canine! My dog Clover absolutely loves going and the staff are amazing. Clover can be quite shy around new people if I’m not there but from her first day there she has loved and been completely comfortable with the staff. Going to daycare at the Contented Canine is the highlight of her week, and given the choice I’m not sure she would ever want to come home. It’s helped Clover get comfortable around other dogs and she now sees all dog we meet as new friends to have fun with. The staff have been so lovely and accommodating with me too, allowing me to add in hours or days when I’ve needed too. I would absolutely recommend the Contented Canine to anyone with a small dog. I’m so grateful that I found it for Clover and couldn’t be happier with it.
Bo just arrived home after his 3rd day in 3 weeks at Contented Canine. Tired and happy. He loves playing with the dogs as he has always been shy. Getting more confident every visit. Totally recommend.
My puppy and I went to Contented Canine for a puppy play group. The facility was lovely and clean, and well set up. The staff were friendly and kind and clearly knowledgeable about puppies.
My dog loves it there. It is a positive experience for him and as a result he is great with other dogs. He is happy and tired at the end of the day.
Absotively posalutely splendiferous daycare that our wee girl Tilda just loves going too. Friendly caring knowledgeable staff. Great amenities.
I am so excited only first day for my two little dogs they are home sleeping there little heads off, anita'and her husband are very clued up with information and experience on dogs,I am over the moon . Thank you for looking after my baby's
Just wanting to say a huge thank you to Nikki and the whole team at the Daycare and Spa. We have been sending our various dogs there twice a week for three years now and our dogs can't wait to get out of the car and into their home away from home. It is such a relief knowing they are well looked after. The super friendly atmosphere, genuine job enthusiasm, expertise and experience are simply awesome. High five team!!
The Dog Spa used to be very good a few years back, but in my experience the service they provide now is rushed and of poor quality. They are so busy that there is barely time for a chat on drop off. I took my mini schnauzer in for a groom - he came back with eyebrows and an untouched beard. The rest of his body was shorn much like a sheep. No allowances for the style of the breed even after I'd had the discussion with the groomer that I was after a mini schnauzer style cut. Definitely would not recommend The Dog Spa.
Biggest thanks to all the staff. So kind of you to squeeze my two dogs into doggy day care and grooming today. They came home beautiful and tired and told me they had a great time. What a professional outfit. I was super impressed.
The dog spa does an amazing job grooming our retrodoodle Herman. He always smells incredible for a whole week after visiting. He is always happy to go in & the staff are incredibly friendly! Highly reccomend
Fantastic staff, pup loves the place and is always excited getting out the car for the daycare. Extensive range of dog accessories available to buy. Always appreciate the detailed feedback on pickup with how visit went. You can do long or short visits. Definitely recommend to those who want the best experience for their dog/pup.
Absolutely Incredible! Very Kind and Caring with our two girls getting groomed. Both were difficult grooms to do and the workmanship was impressive. Loved the cute coats and accessories as well. Professional all round. We can’t wait to come back. Thanks a million!!!!
We have been 100% satisfied with the day care and the groomers at The Dog Spa for several years now. Nicky and her team are always so cheerful and happy to see our girl, and she is always excited to go there.
Me and my pup are so happy with the Dog Spa, could not recommend more! The staff are extremely friendly and professional. Coco always leaves there happy and looking great.
Nikki and the team are amazing and my little fella gets super excited to be groomed. They always do a fantastic job and make my dog feel welcome and loved. I'd never go anywhere else.
The girls at the Dog Spa were amazing with my very nervous dog, and he looks absolutely beautiful after his groom... thank you!
I have total piece of mind when leaving my labrador in the care of Heather & Tay and their wonderful staff. I love it that they look after his social needs as well as his physical needs.
Has taken a few days for my dog to adjust going in each day, but now she loves it. Great team and clean kennels.
Hi - I'm Bindi the greyhound! I've stayed many a time at Abbeyblyth Boarding Kennel and always receive good care and atttention while playing with my friends who also like to stay there. Thanks Abbeyblyth!
I absolutely love everything about Abbeyblyth, and would happily recommend it as the best kennel in the region. Their facilities are clean, spacious, and well-constructed, everyone on the team is awesome, and they take such good care of the animals as if they were all their own. It is the only place I feel comfortable leaving my dog, as I know he will be well looked after like he's part of the family, and have a great time to boot. Great work guys, thank you!
I highly recommend Abbeyblyth boarding kennels. A great friendly and very helpful team. I have had two dogs in there care at different times. one of my dogs had special needs and Janine, Dave and there team went the extra mile to ensure my dogs were happy settled and well looked after. I would just like to say, i would never take my pets anywhere else. Thank you team for all you do and have done for my precious babies
I have used Abbeyblyth for the last two years for my English Pointer and its been superb. Great facilities, smart attentive people and a great location. Very reasonable rates and also flexible to real life challenges of getting dogs to kennels. Highly recommended.
We've used the friendly and caring services of Abbeyblyth Kennels for about 2 years now and our dogs love going here! As any caring parent, the first couple of times we dropped them off we probably felt worse than they did - they didn't even look back as they were taken to their kennel! The first time we came, we were shown around where our dog would stay and play and this really helped put our minds at ease. We didn't like leaving our puppy home alone for too long so she would regularly go to day care at Abbeyblyth when she was younger and absolutely loved it. Now that we have an older dog we tend to only use them if we go away overnight and again he loves it too. The owners and staff are real animal people and the dogs recognise that. I have no hesitation in leaving our fur babies in their care and highly recommend their services.
Our dog Moose has now been for a few stays at Abbeyblyth and comes home incredibly happy. Each time we get a report from the staff on his time we discover who the other dogs he played with were and how he got on. The rotating packs that dogs are placed in offer him a variety of socialisation from older and slower dogs right to young puppies and he seems to love the variety of play combined with a set schedule that the team offers each day. We look forward to using Abbeyblyth for years to come and are grateful to the team for taking such good care of our doggo.
Our pup Fin stayed the night last weekend. We rang up at the last minute to book in as we were travelling from Christchurch for the weekend. The owners were so helpful, friendly and accommodating. The facility was lovely and clean and the price was much cheaper than our usual kennels. Was extremely impressed and wish they were our local kennels!! Thanks for all your help :-)
Just the best. Was in town for the day from the North Island, my pup stayed for the day and the service was the best I've ever experienced at kennels. My pup got a bit dirty and they offered to clean her up. The price was affordable and staff were friendly and looked after our needs perfectly. Thanks so much team.

Molly has been a regular at Purr-fect Retreat Cat Motel for many years and gets looked after extremely well. We can can go away knowing she is safe and well cared for.
We have used the Purr-fect Retreat for our Snoopy boy for 9 years now. They're really good with the animals, and the rooms are cozy, large and some even have an outdoor space, guaranteed if your pet stays over 21 days. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone
Excellent place to leave our 2 cats when we are away, Gavin and the team look after them well. We can relax knowing they are in safe hands.
This is simply the best Cattery if you want your cat to have a stress free time. Our girl is 17 and even though she doesn't like being away from us, she is so chilled once she comes home. I just love this place! Thank you!
We have left our Alfie here three times while we went on holiday and we have been very happy with his stay and the care he received, very clean and tidy, lovely carers - it feels like a well run cattery, would definitely recommend 🐈⬛🐈⬛ …
George our short persian haired cat stays regularly at purr-fect cat motel .He seems to come home every time happy and content even when he is dropped off he is aways ok even with Gavin as he usually does not like men company .he is well looked after. M Davis
My cats never want to be in a cattery but they do not leave here stressed at all. They are well cared for and the facilities are spotless.
Buddy loves to stay here, lovely owners, nice clean rooms, and one happy cat!
A fabulous Cat Motel I use often, and my cats are well looked after I highly recommend
Great place staff are all friendly. Harley is 18 and I feel at ease to leave him. Thanks Purr~fect Retreat from Mr Harley and Katie
My cats were very well loved during their stay. It is a homely set up with a great little play area for them to use each day. They looked very settled and content when we picked them up and had obviously gotten used to plenty of cuddles with Helen (owner).
The best Cattery in Nelson. Personalized care for each cat. Highly recommend
Absolutely awesome cattery. Helen is wonderful and really loves all the cats under her care. Even our antisocial cat appears very at home.
Lovely to have a break away and know my precious kitty looked after so well by Helen. She has a real way with cats, would highly recommend Catnip Cattery
Our cat was very well looked after at catnip. Your cat gets personal care & grooming here, plus gets to play or rest outside.
Helen is amazing and gives 100% care to the cats, wouldn't go anywhere else
We Love Hellen, she puts her heart and sole into this Cattery. We feel at ease leaving our Tank with Aunty Hellen 😊 …
Helen has a real comfy cattery, Phoebe loved her stay. Thanks again
My cat Phoebe stayed here awesome place and good vibes nice person Helen Thank you for looking after Phoebe
