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

I have absolutely loved Bark Louisville! I take my dog Rye there for all of the services! She gets to the door and instantly knows where we are and is so excited! Another one of my favorites has been getting her groomed there. Doodle cuts are so niche and hard to find someone who does a good job but every time I have taken her I love her new cut! Highly recommend Bark Louisville!
My poor poodle Kyla was a matted mess after I got stuck out of town for 2 weeks and she wasn't brushed, bathed or groomed in my worst nightmare scenario. I thought she would be fully shaved and naked after taking her in for grooming, but when I saw her come out I was in shock by how beautiful she was! So much of her precious floof had been kept and she was prettier than ever! I normally do her haircuts myself but I never would've managed a job like that and I will definitely be bringing her back for big jobs.
My dog, Judge, absolutely loves Bark! Judge would always hide behind me when I took him to other boarding or daycare places. At Bark, he happily walks in and doesn’t look back at me. We use Bark for all their services! They provide the best daycare, grooming and boarding! Judge gets the cutest haircuts and they always give him a personalized bandana after each haircut. We love Bark!
We absolutely love this place. The staff is so friendly and fun. Our dog Reese jumps out of our car and straight into the building. Doesn’t even look back. The staff is attentive and you can tell they truly care. They also do fun optional parties. Can’t recommend this place enough. We were so happy we found it.
I recently had a disappointing experience with Bark Louisville, and I feel compelled to leave a negative review. This was the second time I had been quoted a certain price, only to be charged significantly more when I arrived to pick up my dog. In both occasions, they claimed that the initial quote was just a starting price and that the final price would depend on the difficulty of the groom. This felt like a bait-and-switch tactic and left me feeling extremely disappointed. During my first visit, I asked for a breed standard groom and cut for my Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, so I understood that such a cut could be a lot of work and paid the extra amount they charged me. However, during my most recent visit, I only asked for a simple grooming service to trim my dog's beard and face close to the skin. Despite being quoted a certain amount multiple times over the phone, checking their online price list which listed SCWT at the same amount quoted, and double-checking with the staff the morning I dropped off my dog, they still charged me a significantly higher amount at pick-up time. This extra amount didn't make any sense since it was only a simple grooming service with a #4 clip all over the body, with no long hair to style or brush on the legs, chest, or skirt. I had even made sure that my dog didn't have any knots or mats in her face before the groom, yet they still charged me significantly more than the quoted price. In addition, the quality of the cut left a lot to be desired, with lots of uneven lines on the body and face (see pictures). The grooming was not done to the standards that I expected, given the price that I paid. The simple grooming service I asked for was nothing out of the ordinary and should have been priced according to their online price list. As a customer, I expect transparency and honesty from any business I choose to work with, and I felt that Bark Louisville did not meet this basic standard. Overall, I am extremely dissatisfied with Bark Louisville's service, and their pricing practices felt misleading. I do not recommend their services to anyone.
Decided to try this place out as a groomer for my little man and I'm so glad that I did! Pre-visit: Bark has an online registration system where you can sign a waiver (make sure you both sign the document itself and ALSO click "sign document" on the dashboard or it'll forever think it's unsigned), fill out basic information and vaccine information about your pet, and request an appointment time. Note that online system lets you select a specific time but **regardless* of time, all dogs should be dropped off by 11am. They will call you when your pet is ready. Drop-off: The location is in downtown Louisville, but the curb directly outside the front door allows for quick parking. They'll greet you, check your dog in, and that's it! Took maybe two minutes. Pick-up: Was informed my pupper was done within a few hours (he only went in for teeth, nails, and glands) and was able to pick him up before the morning was over. He was happy, smelling fresh, and sporting a brand new, custom bandana they had thrown in for free! His nails and teeth were absolutely perfect and well taken care of. In short, Bark was professional, quick, friendly, and also very personable. They have won me over as a customer for life and I look forward to trying out their full grooming or boarding services.
These are wonderful people. My dog is a puppy mill rescue and was terrified to go in here for grooming because of all the loud noises. But the staff helped him feel comfortable and gave him love. They were patient and gentle with him. Even called me to make sure I knew he was doing okay. They opted to not trim his nails as he was stressed about it, and I really appreciated that the groomer used their judgment to not push him beyond his limits. He looks super handsome and was calm and comfortable when I picked him up showing no signs of distress. These people understand dogs and genuinely care about them. I would absolutely recommend them!
Wilson always has a blast when he attends Bark Louisville and comes home happy and satisfied. The staff are fantastic and often address Wilson by name when we arrive and always notify me if there are any issues. Also, I love being able to look for him on their webcams!
Having recently moved to Louisville with an extremely active dog and a busy job, I spent weeks researching daycare and boarding options in the city because leaving my dog at home wasn't an option. None of the doggy daycares in the city provided the level of care and thoroughness as Bark Louisville does. The facility itself is brand new and seems like it was actually thought up by a dog because of how perfect it is. The dogs are kept crate-free and have their own playground sorted by dog size with web cams throughout so you can see your dog any time of day. Below is my dog before and after daycare everyday, very few things keep him as entertained and active. My Siberian Husky is a very nice, very shy dog and immediately fell in love with the place and the staff who are all well trained and considerate of each dog's needs. Ana, the owner, treats each and every dog like they are her own to the point where my dog greets her with the same excitement that he greets me (I try to act like I'm not jealous). She has truly put her heart and soul into the business and it shows. If you're a healthcare worker at Norton or U of L this is the most ideal place in the city for you to take your dog since it is walking distance from the medical campus. It has the best combination of price, convenience, and quality in the city by far and trust me I've looked.
Sadie absolutely loves going to Bark Louisville. The are always a lot of other dogs to play with and they even have a playground that the dogs can play on. The staff there are super friendly and cooperative. Our favorite doggie daycare in town!
They have all this extensive advertising as taking care of exotic pets/ bunnies until when you call they cannot take you unless you are an existing pet patient of the vet next door. Will not even allow for me to sign a consent to treat if there is an emergency. Their advertising is a whole lot of fluff. One star only to allow me to post this review. What a disappointment. The guy was rude and told me to let my vet do the boarding. My vet is upfront and doesn’t lead the public on with false advertisement.
Terrible service. I've called and emailed multiple times about rabbit boarding, and they've ignored me. I already thought the 'pet needs to be a patient' thing was annoying, but when I asked how to make her a patient, they started ignoring me. Crazy.
We have taken our dog there for 4 years. He loves it and staff knows him. I trust them with my pet.
We had a lot of issues with our Aussie doodle being scared/timid about everything. Almost home eased her into their daycare program, giving her the special attention that she needed until she was comfortable being with the other dogs. Now over a year later she is as confident/socialized as can be! Very thankful for almost home and their staff.
Love these folks. They know my dog by name even though I only board twice a year. She always comes home happy and loved. It feels like she doesn't want to leave.
Thank you all so much for boarding my puppy. You all helped so much with potty training and encouraging her to go to her crate on her own. The distance was a little far from me but extremely worth it and I look forward to using your services in the future
I refer everyone of my pet owner friends and colleagues to Almost Home. I have two high energy dogs both of whom I've been bringing to Almost Home for daycare since they were puppies. It's been a little over a year since I started coming in and I could not be happier with the staff and the facilities. They know the dogs by name and treat them as if they were their own pets. When one is absent the staff actually notice and ask after them. Boarding has been such an easy process as well since I know the dogs are being taken care of and getting some loving attention. I have also found Almost Home to be very affordable, having heard from others the outrageous prices they've paid for boarding their own animals. Could not be a happier dog dad!!!
Best boarding in the Ville! Our dog is always excited to go!
It’s very difficult to find a boarding place that boards exotic animals let alone boards them CORRECTLY. i’ve had my rabbit for three years now, and I’ve always chosen this boarding place when I decide to take a trip. He gets a full room and lots of love, and everyone knows him by name. Most places offer to keep my rabbit in a cage for the duration of my absence. But here, he gets to roam just like he does at home. This last visit, he got anxiety and almost went into GI stasis and the staff was quick to notify me and also nurse him back to health. They even went out of their way to buy my bunny treats and greens. I’m so thankful for what they did for my fur baby. If you have an exotic pet I absolutely recommend this place!! Thank you to the staff here for caring for my Baloo like he is your own<3
Been taking my dogs here since they were pups. I love it and so do my dogs. They are old now and would prefer to sleep instead of play, but loved Dog Day Out when they were younger dogs. There are also good training classes and friendly staff.
