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

High praise to all who have helped run Totowa Petco Playcare smoothly over the last 9 years… my dog LOVES this place! He can tell when we pull into the parking lot ‘it’s going to be a great day’! This facility is clean and properly maintained. With 3 pens (2 lrg + 1 med) that have washable doggie couches, chairs, modular cubes etc. Aside from the necessary constant clean-ups, everything (they use a hose w/environmentally friendly germ killing solutions) is also sanitized each night so it’s ready the next morning for play to begin all over again. There is a feed area ‘dining room’ where dogs are separately taken to eat in peace if you so choose to pack your pooch a lunch box with a meal/snacks. And because they are located inside of Petco, grooming services can also be obtained. I have requested a few baths or just nail clippings over the years, and it’s such a convenience to drop off my pup for Playcare and pick him up happy and groomed. And lastly, none of this well done day-to-day canine dance could be accomplished if it weren’t for the outstanding Playcare staff. All of them are dog lovers and the dogs know and love them too! They are friendly and professional and ensure everyone (not an easy task) plays nicely together. My dog returns home happy, exercised (sometimes he’s asleep on the ride home) and I believe less stressed. And I too am happy and less stressed knowing he is safe and in great care. They don’t advertise, it’s all word of mouth. They’re that good. -H.W. *Side note: Being able to play with all different canines has helped socialize my dog. A perk of Playcare that my family and friends also benefit from. For less than the cost of one walk from a dog walker you and your dog get so much more… who says money can’t buy you happiness? ;)
This place has been great for us. My dog comes home good and tired. Everyone there treats the dogs very well and they are attentive to the needs of other dogs with medical issues and such. Friendly, knowledgable staff, good hours for us working folks, and Sam is always happy there.
Pooch play is a very valuable place for me and a safe environment for my dog Kiko! The staff there looks generally pleased and happy to be there and look like genuinely happy dog lovers. How could they not be being around so many big dogs would really intimidate me! As soon as I mention Pooch play to my dog Kiko his ears perked up and looks forward to getting there. Once we get to the door of Patco he knows exactly how to get to the door of Pooch play on his own desperately scratching the door to get in. Pooch play is a great service especially when it's raining for 3 or 4 days or snowing it's a great Outlet for my dog Kiko to release his stress of being in the house for too many days in a row. For only $15 for 5 hours you can't beat it. The only thing negative I have to say about Pooch play is that they're not open on Sunday.
The idea is great, but the service is poor and does not adhere to the wonderful promises made on Petco's website. I have left my dog at this establishment several times during the past couple of months and here are my observations: 1. Dogs are separated by size and possibly temperament. While the area for the big dogs is cleaned regularly, the one for the small dogs is neglected for hours. Dogs in the small suite have peed at several places (yes, you can see it on the webcam), and no one, repeat, NO ONE, came to clean the area up or even refill the water bowls. 2. The website indicates that the employees play with the dogs to entertain them. During the 2 times that I observed the suites via webcam, no one played with either the big, but specially the small dogs. They were just laying around, bored/tired, and in their or some other dog's pee. 3. The place is understaffed. Two-three people, three suites (one of which is often closed with almost 20-30 large dogs squeezed in the other). Of them, one moves between the front desk and playsuite. As I mentioned above, the concept is great and an affordable option for some dog-owners. But, the place needs to hire more employees who genuinely enjoy their job, and who would gladly play with their canine buddies. The place is lacking in constant cleaning and replenishing of water bowls...maybe because it is understaffed? Hope the management takes the right steps to improve the quality of this invaluable service.
Our dog loves Pooch Play! Great exercise & socialization especially in bad weather. He's been going now for 4 years! It's his home away from home 🐶💙 …
I have been bringing my dog to daycare now for 4 years. Staff is great, they are knowledgeable, patient and are always making sure dogs are safe, rates are reasonable. I definitely recommend trying it out
They are wonderful and take great care of my little doxie :)
Great staff and place for my dog to run around!
Thank you Cherie, Tania and Yvonne for taking great care of Fiji for us🙏 We were faced with using a boarding type facility... We have in the past, however, having our elderly 14 yr old dog in the comfort of her own home with expert care was so less stressful on her.... Us as owners also! We appreciated all the updates along the way, photos and videos as well! Again... Great service... Hope to use you all again real soon!
Cherie and her crew have been walking our two dogs weekly, taking our younger dog on adventure walks, and have provided care over a long weekend while we were away. They provide pictures and detailed notes after each walk or home visit. We could not be more pleased with the service they provide and the care with which they treat our dogs. Perhaps the best endorsement is from our dogs - they greet her eagerly and happily leave for their walks.
Our dog has a heart condition that is terminal. They have shown up, taken her for a walk, changed her diaper, given her medication all graciously and kindly. After every walk they make sure that all our animals have water and food. This is not something we asked for but it makes us feel confident knowing all our pets are taken care of. We are so so very grateful and highly recommend them for your pets.
Cherie and her team are life savers and treat their clients pets as if they were their own. Highly recommend!!
Cherie, Yvonne and Tania were all fantastic with our dogs while we were away on vacation. They did multiple drop-ins a day and sent updates each time with pictures. We would def recommend them! - Lauren & JP
Cherie did a great job with our Fergus! He loved seeing her every morning and going on a walk! We really appreciate the care given.
I can’t recommend Wags Walks n Whiskers enough! I was lucky and blessed to have found Cherie and her team last December. From the moment I met Cherie, I knew instantly she was the right fit for my goldendoodle, Lucy. Her warm, loving, and caring personality instantly won over us both! You can immediately tell she has a love for all animals which makes you feel comforted when you are away from your pups. I never feel nervous or worried when I’m not at home because I know that Cherie is treating Lucy like she is her own. They are trustworthy, very knowledgeable when it comes to animals, and truly know how to handle them, which is something I did not have experience with in the past. Plus, for each and every visit, Cherie or Tania will send me pictures, videos, and an update on their walk for that day. I always look forward to it! Not only are Cherie and Tania both wonderful, but they are also very reliable and efficient. They always respond to any messages or requests you may have. The lines are communication are always open. If you are looking for a dog walker in the North Haledon area, I highly recommend Wags Walks n Whiskers for your furry family member!
I, Erica B, live in N Haledon and had Cherie from Wags,Walks n Whiskers walk our elderly dog, Freyja, beginning of July for a few full days and single walks while we were away. It was first time having someone other than family care for Freyja. Cherie came to meet Freyja first , got details of her routine, and gave me details of her very professional business, that has a fantastic app to use when you sign up. After every visit , even if short walk, she followed up on app with many pictures and detailed report of her visit with Freyja . Obviously I highly recommend Wags, Walks n Whiskers. I am thrilled I have Cherie for Freyja whenever we are away. She really gets to know your pet. It is not just a walk, but a caring visit .
Cherie is great. I've been a customer of hers I think from the beginning (or very near the beginning). She walked my black lab Lucy before she crossed rainbow bridge. And Lucy loved her. Then when I got my yellow boy, I reached out to her immediately and of course he fell in love with her too. Just the other day he saw MY car parked outside on the street and spent 90 minutes going crazy because he thought it was Cherie getting ready to come in to get him. I trust her implicitly. She's done all kinds of dog care training, i.e., Canine CPR, etc. She's kind and caring. I HIGHLY recommend her.
My dog can be nervous and shy around new people. Cherie was so kind and patient with him. There are very few people I would trust to let into my house and take care of my dog, and Cherie is definitely on that list. She is always considerate and gives thorough updates after every visit. I would highly recommend this business to anyone!
Lisa and her staff are incredible! We've used Nature's Nanny for various pets over the last several years, and they have always taken great care of them. We appreciate the notes and photos they send after each visit. For our last service, in addition to Lisa taking care of our two cats, we had to make last minute arrangements to have our dog taken care of when my mother-in-law had a medical emergency and couldn't watch him anymore. Lisa was so accommodating, which made us feel so much better about being far away from home. We will continue to use Nature's Nanny for all of our pet care needs whenever we go away for extended periods.
I needed a reliable dog sitter who could give my dog meds twice a day and sometimes doesn't want to take them. Lisa was able to get them down for him. She sends me photos and updates for every visit. My work plans changed and she was able to accommodate that as well. As a dog mom with a dog with health issues, it is a huge sigh of relief to have someone trustworthy and caring taking care of him! Thank you Lisa! 💜
From the second we met with Lisa, we knew we ( and our VERY particular kitty) were in excellent hands! It’s not easy to entrust someone you don’t know personally into your home to take care of your furry family member while you are away. Lisa interviewed us as much as we interviewed her, and we truly felt like her expertise and experience made her an extremely trustworthy caretaker. We couldn’t have been more impressed! Despite the fact that our cat becomes territorial and downright vicious with strangers, Lisa managed to feed, change the litter, and even attempt to socialize with her, while knowing exactly how to handle such a difficult cat. We got a daily log of the day’s activities, as well as pictures and text updates. When we got home, it was obvious that an unbelievable amount of care and attention had gone into her, and she behaved as if we’d never left.( In fact, her litter box was better cared for than I think we even do!) We can not recommend Nature’s Nanny Pet Service and Lisa enough!!!! We have already used her services twice, and will continue to do so in the future.I felt like she cared for our cat as much as we do, and was professionally able to handle her in a way that neighbors and family members were unable to. We are so grateful, and have recommended her to several people, and will continue to do. I highly recommend giving yourself complete peace of mind, and hiring such a fantastic service. I only wish we had found Nature’s Nanny’s Pet Service sooner!
Had a great experience with Nature's Nanny! Lisa took care of our cat while we were on vacation and I couldn't have been more pleased. Her communication is fantastic (daily updates and pictures) and she is so kind and compassionate. We found our new pet sitter!
Luna is our first pet and I was very apprehensive leaving her at first. Lisa came to meet us and put us at ease immediately . She has been back several times and now we have a trusted FRIEND coming in to help . She always sends texts with pictures and leaves a detailed account of her time with Luna . Lisa is the BEST!
Lisa is someone that we trust completely with our boys! We count on her to give insulin injections to our one diabetic cat and she gives them plenty of love and attention while we are gone.
We have used Natures Nanny for 18 + years and Lisa has always been great with all of our cats.
I used this company for 2 years for my high energy dog. They’ve been amazing and I always felt safe with my dog in their hands and them in my home. I can’t recommend highly enough. The only reason I’m stopping is because I’m moving, and if I could take them with me I would!
Lisa provides great dependable care. Has taken care of our kitties for many years. Very trustworthy and caring.
Very caring for pets. If ur out working too long for your fur baby's. They come in at a set time to walk or water/feed ur baby!! Lol great service and very caring owner!
