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

Pets in the City Silverdale was a lifesaver with accomodating our boy last minute for the Christmas period! They’ve made Apollo feel very welcome and he had a real blast during his stay🎉 It’s even a great comfort to us while away that they post adorable photos so we can see how much fun he’s having😊 …
Our dog comes home washed and happy. Our dog also now has allergy issues so they are happy to ensure she only eats the food we provide and that she gets no treats that can affect her.
Polar Bear had another great day. We love that we can drop him off for a weekend day stay if we're going to be out most of the day. Means he gets to have some fun instead of staying home.
My two pups are in safe , caring hands when I go to work and it’s a great way for incidental social training. Fabulous Service
Narae was very caring about grooming my 11mth old Japanese Spitz. She did an amazing job, took the time she needed to present him back to me in tip top condition. Silky smooth finish, clean, smelling lovely, and happy. I have re-booked! All the staff at Pets in the City Silverdale are lovely, welcoming, and friendly. I highly recommend.
Our dog attends on a regular basis and always been a great experience and she comes home very happy after playing with the other pups, especially on themed \ party days.
Our energetic Jack Russell mix absolutely loves the daycare! He is always so exited to go and so exhausted when he comes back. The team are lovely and you can tell they love and care for the dogs 😊 …
Pets in the City Silverdale is a great business. We have used it for short stays for our dog, overnight and for daycare. They are flexible about drop off and pick up times for daycare which is so handy for us. The staff are so friendly too.
My French Bulldog has been to both doggy daycare and a prolonged stay at the doggy hotel she has been well cared for and has enjoyed her stays. I would highly recommend to anyone
Our German shepherd always looks and smells very nice after her grooming here. She knows the place and doesn't try to run away which clearly tells me that the people are very nice to her and that she isn't scared there.
Friendly place
Our Golden Retriever Loni has such fantastic time over the week with Alex & Alina. Great communication, and lots of photos & videos. I knew Loni was people that understood dogs and also really loved them. Could not recommend them enough.
Fantastic service!!! Easy and fast to communicate, very flexible and accommodating. Our dog loves Doggy Nose Best, you can tell by how excited he gets when we are by the gate. While our doggy is looked after at Doggy Nose Best, we get videos and pictures of how much fun he has. Highly recommend to people who really care about their dogs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for taking such good care of our precious Sofi while we were away. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos on walks. Thank you!
My mini Schnauzer has been going to day care (and also vacationing there while I’m away), for over 1.5 years now. I highly recommend this loving family to take care of your fur baby. Croi absolutely loves it there, he gets super excited when we reach the house as he knows it will be a fun day with lots of exercise, play time and attention. I also get daily photos and videos of him on walks and playing with other dogs, which makes me so happy. They really are his other family and I’ve saved one contact as Mama Croi in my phone, so much love and affection! I just let them know my ETA for drop off and pick up so he’s all ready to go, so easy with excellent communication!
My dog is not the easiest dog to have around but Alex and his family have looked after my boy extremely well. They were kind enough to sent me photos daily of the awesome walks they went on. 10/10 thank you so much.
Alex and Alina are the best! Our dog Phoebe loves staying with them, their dogs are wonderful and get along great and they take such great care of them. They always send us photos and videos so we know how she’s doing ❤️
I can highly recommend this daycare. I have been sending my miniature schnauzer Dora to Alina & Alex since she was a puppy. It's like her second family and Dora really loves them. Plus their Golden retriever Barron was the best baby sitter to Dora when she was a pup. I 100% trust them as they take such great care of her, she is always loved on and protected. I wouldn't just leave her with anyone but I know I can go to work or go away and she will be in the best caring hands. I honestly don't know what I would have done without them. Dora is always so happy to see them because they have such big hearts and are such a lovely family.
Gucci has stayed with Alina and Alex since he was a puppy. They are wonderful people! They always fit gucci in at the last minute! Gucci loves them and their lovely dog! They send daily photos and videos. Very responsive, trustworthy and a Lovely family! Gucci always has the best time!!
I cannot thank enough this lovely family- Alina, Igor, Alex, grandma and grandpa. They treat my Louie with full of love. They care and love my fur baby as much as I do. Louie loves staying with them and their dog, Baron is super friendly. I highly recommend this family!
Alex’s brother Igor was a wonderful dog sitter and helped us tremendously with our dog Balloon. Even though they are located in Auckland he was happy to travel and stay in our house in Jacks Point, Queenstown. He sent us daily updates and was taking our a bit naughty puppy for a walk sometimes 6 times a day 😅 Will definitely use him in future 🥰
Wag 'n Stay have been absolutely fantastic in taking care of my dog. Reliable updates (through photos and text/email) have given me peace of mind while I have not been able to look after him as I visit family. Thank you so much, truly.
My 2 boys love every Wednesday! They are sitting waiting for Rebecca from 7am. Such a wonderful caring loving person Rebecca is with my 2 fluffy boys. I would 100% recommend if you need some socialisation for your pup or they need a change of scene weekly. They love their weekly club with all their new friends!
Our Louis has been going to Small Dog Social Club on Wednesdays for some time now and we know it's his highlight of the week. He absolutely has a blaste and we know Rebecca takes the best care of our fur babies while we are at work. Thanks Rebecca you rock!!
Ralphie loves going to the Small Dog Social Club. He can’t wait to get in Rebecca’s van with all his mates. She drops off a very tired and very happy dog at the end of the day. Love all the photo’s and video’s she posts of the group. Highly recommended.
Rebecca is amazing. My 8 year old neurotic rescue was very unsocial. Loved her walks but did not bother much with other dogs. It took a while under Rebecca’s coaching to get her running around with the other dogs and having a great time. She knows when to wait on the deck for her pick up on Thursday and keeps coming to me to ask when Rebecca will arrive with huge wide eyes. When Rebecca arrives she goes completely nuts with excitement When she gets dropped off again she is completely shattered and content. I can’t tell you how much KC has changed having gone on these walks. My family love laughing at all the photos that get posted on Facebook. They adore KC and love to see her having a great. Thank you so much Rebecca for taking your time with KC. We all seriously appreciate it
An amazing pack walker! Rebecca is so understanding of each dog and definitely has a talent with dogs. Small pack sizes means lots of one on one which I love. Zena has been going for quite a while and she loves it! Goes away with excitement and comes home with excitement to tell me about it and then sleeps. She is always so enriched and so many photos to enjoy from the walks. Would highly reccomend! A photo from one of her walks included!
Amazing dog walker. Rebecca spends time getting to know your dog before she takes them out. Tiggy loves her adve tures and eagerly waits by the windows for her in the morning. I have no higher reccomendation
Sending Willow on a daily pack walk means I dont feel guilty about not taking him out while my daughter is away. I know he has been exercised, socialised, trained and had some fun with his friends in his Wild and Waggin small pack. Highly recommend Rebecca - she is a true dog lover and cares.
Millie loves her adventures with Wild and Waggin’. They are structured which allows her to practice the discipline we have been learning at home, whilst also being a fun and enriching walk with lots of fellow furry friends. She comes home absolutely exhausted, but always ready for the next adventure.
We were with another daycare for two years before moving over to Urban dags Silverdale , and I can honestly say , if your dog is like a family member to you , then the best comparison is to say that we moved her from public school to a private school. The attention she gets is personal and thorough and can see in her demeanor that she is a much happier little one. I can honestly not say that we regret our discussion to join Urban Dogs Silverdale. We are happy that Dauphine's well fare is now what is most important at her new daycare. Thank you Team , appreciate your caring and nurturing nature towards our loved fur ones.
We cannot recommend Urban Dogs enough! Luna loves her time here and is always sooo excited to see all her friends each week. The Team are so welcoming, friendly and kind on every visit, keeping us in the loop on how each visit goes and treats Luna like part of the family. Luna has been a little poorly recently and the team at Urban dogs have gone above and beyond accommodating her restricted diet and medical requirements with administering meds when needed. We absolutely love it here and are so grateful we found a loving and caring environment for our little pup. If you are looking for a doggy day care that treats your dog as one of their own, you can’t go wrong with Urban Dogs.
Melo has been doing to Urban Dogs since 3 months old and started at Rosedale and moved to Silverdale when it opened. The team are absolutely amazing and treat Melo like their own. She loves playing with her "besties" a couple of times a week, plus the swimming lessons and farm trips. The best thing though is that if you need to go away for a night, you can book overnight stays with one of the team (and their dog) instead of needing to book your dog in to a kennel (provided they have space). This has been great for Melo who loves the UD team and their dogs so staying over night with them when needed is an extra bonus for her.
We love Urban Dogs for our pup, he has so much fun and loves the special farm adventures. I feel like all the staff go the little bit extra to make you and your pet feel welcome! I love seeing the updates on Facebook on what Marley has been up to for the day with all his new friends ❤️
Great facility. Dropped our two dogs there for day stay. Both dogs were warmly welcomed by staff. They immediately liked them. Was clean and tidy and secure. Picked up about 3.30. Dogs were pleased to see us and slept all the way home. Will use again
Our Boxer X Luna loves her time at Urban Dogs! She can not wait to get through the door to play with her mates. Kerry and the staff treat Luna like their own and go above and beyond. We highly recommend Urban Dogs Silverdale!
We had tried a few other doggie day-cares with no luck for our Pup. Urban Dogs Silverdale took so much time and care to make sure our Pippa felt safe. Now she cant wait to get in the door to see her new friends! The whole team are so lovely and great with all the doggies.
We have taken our Fox Terrier Cross to Urban Dogs Silverdale and as a team I find them to welcoming, kind and very professional. Everyone that works there is a real doggie person and I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with them for the day. As an added highlight we have also done the farm trip a couple of times and on this you could only say my dog is living his best life. He genuinely looks like he is smiling and his eyes are alive with delight as he bounds across the paddocks with his dog friends. The farm trip would be his version of Disneyland. I also like that the half day option is longer than other providers locally, the beautiful photos they take each day and the easy parking outside.
From the moment I stepped through the door, I knew my furry friend was in good hands. The staff greeted us warmly and took the time to get to know my dog's personality and preferences. The facilities with spacious play areas, plenty of toys, and even pools for those hot summer days. I can see regular updates throughout the day, including photos and videos of my pup having a blast with their new furry friends. It's clear that the staff here are not just doing a job; they're passionate about what they do. I couldn't be happier with the care and attention my dog receives there, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and fun environment for their canine companion.
Our fur baby Jess has always loved going to Urban Dogs in Albany - it’s her second home - and now she loves going into Silverdale too! New doggo friends and the same friendly faces from her daycare aunties that treat her like their own 🥰 Will always recommend! …
The most amazing and lovely people, my pup absolutely loves coming to the Dog den and that just shows how much they care about the dogs. The fact that my pup is excited to come every single time, makes me very happy 😊 you can’t fake that smile haha I cannot recommend enough!
My rottweiler Nox has been a regular at the Dog Den for 2 years. She is very well looked after by the all the team, as they are all excellent at what they do. She gets to socialize with all different breads, she is mentally stimulated through the day, with awesome pack leadership by the staff. The full day package suits our needs and expectations, and she comes home well exercised and very happy. If you are thinking about a daycare facility for your fur-baby I highly recommend the Dog Den. The best decision we made for our girl.
We were a bit nervous sending our puppy to daycare but he is always excited to get to The Dog den and play with his friends. The staff are absolutely lovely and care for the dogs like their own. We love the daily facebook photos so we can see what Fox is up too . He especially loves the water play. Hopefully when he’s a bit older he can go on the farm adventure!!
I've been sending my dog to The Dog Den in Silverdale for 2 days a week for over a year now. She loves it - is always so excited to see everyone when she arrives and has the best day! She's usually there on the days I'm working in the city and it's nice to know she has company rather than being home alone all day. The location is also really convenient if you use the Park n Ride at Silverdale.
The best doggy daycare! The staff are awesome. It is going to be our 3rd Christmas for Uran at the Dog Den.
Amazing team at and the Dog Den!!! Mags absolutely loves her days there, leaps out the car to get in. Couldn’t recommend highly enough :)
Dog Den Silverdale is the most amazing place with dog-loving staff who are so knowledgeable about dogs and dog behaviour. Frank my Staffy loves going on the Dog Den pack runs at the farm, where he finds the most mud he possibly can to jump in. He never wants to leave! Dog Den goes out of their way to make sure my dog is cared for. I highly recommend them.
My dog loves going to the Dog den. Staff are friendly and always have time to chat especially if you have concerns with health or behaviour issues
The staff at The Dog Den Silverdale go above and beyond! Maya always looks forward to daycare and comes home happy and tired
The team needs to learn how to care for returning customers. Used to bring my dog here some months ago. there wasn't any booking needed for day care it was just walk in. but then today when I went there with my dog they said you need a booking. and didn't even offered any options to me. disappointing the way they deal with returning customers
