Home Services reviews in Boise, Idaho

Called ahead of time to ask if something was in stock the person on the phone checked immediately and told me it was, when I stepped in I was able to find it along with a few more items and they person at checkout was also extremely nice. Had a great convo about our tank animals (mine being a gecko and a scorpion and theirs a frog). Very nice people and lots of variety in stock!

I went to the Fairview Zamzows to see if I could find a plant light for my succulents while I store them inside my shed. Last year they froze without a light and some heat. I learned my lesson. I met the manager and he showed me a few lights that would work depending on what I wanted. He then suggested I look at a heat light that lizards use in their cages. Sure! To make a long story short....I LOVE MY PLANT LIGHT AND IT HAS A TIMER AND MY SUCCULENTS LOOK GREAT! The manager was attentive, innovative, and a great problem solver, especially since I am on a budget. I've visited several times since and am so impressed with the level of care and professionalism this Zamzows exhibits. Top notch customer service and they really know their products. THANK YOU ZAMZOWS FOR BEING A PART OF IDAHO!

Shopping local is very important to me and it's easy to do so when I can find whatever I may be looking for from pet supplies to plants at Zamzows! The staff here are not only incredibly friendly and greet you with a smile but they are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Amazing place and great customer service. Knew the knowledge of animals and how to care for them.

I had been across the street and locked my keys in my truck.So I walked over to Zamzos on Fairview to look for one of those cat toy sticks to maybe unlock it.And was met with the utmost help I could’ve ever asked for Ben And Jerry not only helped me find something to use but helped me do it.these guys saved the day it was 97 out so I am very thankful for there help.I owe them some beer!

We came here to buy a fish to replace a gold fish from the fair sadly did not make it. Zamzows offered us great service and friendly advice on how to care for our new pet Beta. I'm happy to say we are a week in and Fighty is still looking good!

Found the most perfect beautiful ceramic dish to hang for the birds to drink water out of! Thanks Gail for showing us exactly what we were looking for! And it was on sale!

Evertime I walk into that store.

I will continue to go out of my way to buy from this location specifically.
Because of the great customer service I receive. Like clockwork.
They truly care in that place.

Huge indoor and outdoor plant selection, tons of local soil and dirt options, and very helpful staff. It's my favorite for home, garden, and pet stuff!

I get all of my backyard pond plants here as well as really clean and affordable and clean bulk fill (topsoil, compost, sand or gravel). Anyone taking on yard projects can probably find what they need here.

I want to thank the staff, for not getting upset with me while my puppy poo'd on the floor. They were so quick to help me clean, not get upset, and we were actually there to pick up dog food! We have been with their lawn service since we moved here. We really appreciate it and sorry again!!!!

I still love Zamzows for plants, feeders, and cat supplies — they’ve always been my go-to for that. But outside of those areas, my experience has really gone downhill. I used to feel welcome when I visited, but now I mostly get ignored or watched from around the corner, which feels uncomfortable.

As someone with a background in exotic animal care and husbandry, I have to say their reptile husbandry is lacking. I regret not taking photos, but every time I check, the reptiles are in poor setups: tanks are too small, UVB lights look like they haven’t been changed in ages, and most enclosures use reptile carpet, which I’ve seen covered in mold — especially in the chameleon’s tank.

The fish section generally looks great, but their reptile care sheets are outdated and inaccurate. I frequently stop by the Water Tower location and have been keeping an eye on a butterfly agama there. The poor thing looks absolutely miserable. After asking questions, I found out he’s wild-caught and terrified of people — no surprise, since he’s a wild animal. He clearly has MBD (metabolic bone disease) and mouth rot, which I personally observed getting worse over the course of a week. An employee claimed they "just noticed" it the day I asked — really?

I’ve worked and shopped at Zamzows before, and while it’s a great store for many things, they clearly need a knowledgeable herpetologist on staff. Reptiles shouldn’t be left to employees who aren’t trained in their care. Until that changes, I’ll only be coming in for plants and feeders.

I love Zamzows so much, I go to different locations frequently. I mainly go there for my reptile supplies, but after coming to this store I was pretty disappointed. I’ve always chose Zamzows because of their fantastic animal care, always choosing the best options even for temporary care. Several of lizards were on reptile carpet which is actually really bad for them. On top of this there was improper tank sizes and hides. The Leopard Gecko had little to no humid areas. While I love Zamzows, this location definitely disappointed me a little. I know that these animals are here for a temporary time, but the care they’re given in that time is why animal lovers choose Zamzows over other pet stores and lawn places. It’s still better than Petco or Petsmart, but I can’t help but feel a little angered by it.

Jared was super helpful!! (Long blonde hair) he helped us pick out a ton of different fish and two rats and it wasn’t even his department!!! We are so happy about our new pets but he definitely deserves some recognition! :)

Manager Enoch has the worst customer service I’ve ever seen. I brought my vehicle here to get my propane filled . It’s an older class C motorhome van so the valve to fill the propane is underneath the van not on the side. Still accessible. I’ve had my propane filled at this location 3 times before with a really nice young man with longer hair. I wish I knew his name because he’s always been amazing. Well I go tonight and Enoch tries to tell me I’ve never had it done there and that they don’t have an employee that I’m describing, then flips the script when I insisted I’ve had it done by that employee and he says they’re gonna fire him or they had fired him. Dont know why he’s the only good employee I’ve encountered here. Then proceeds to gaslight me that I’ve never had it done there when I had. He didn’t even TRY. Yes I know it’s an older vehicle it takes a little bit more effort to get it done. Enoch didn’t even try at all claims I can’t come back and get it done there. The lack of effort was insane. Hopefully they fire this manager or tell him to treat customers better.

I went to Zamzows today for a succulent potting class and it was so much fun! The instructors were knowledgeable and helpful without making anyone feel silly. My friend and I had so much fun. Can't wait for another plant class to help turn my black thumb green!!

friendly and accurate. Also I should add that I had a guest visiting from out of town last week for a week and every single day they commented on how green, soft and consistent my grass looked.

These guys are great and I’m so excited to not have to pull as many weeds this year. My grass looks amazing and it’s only a month into spring!

Chris is a great salesman. He knew what I needed before he came out and he was right on. I have the greenest lawn and prettiest trees on the block. Thank you.

Good communication, and the results are terrific. My lawn is green and healthy. Year round fertilizer, pest control, and tree and shrub maintenance. Exceeded my expections!

All the people coming to do the work have been very friendly and thorough. And I appreciate the call the day before to remind me that they're coming by. I'm very happy with their work.
