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
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 29.99 per visit, $25/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I absolutely love Salty Dog Pet Services. My experiences hiring Salty Dog for cat sitting have been nothing but fantastic. Whenever I go away, I know my cats are happy and well taken care of. Shani, the owner, texts me pictures of my cats every time she comes over to feed them, and it's so clear how much she cares for all of her clients pets. I can't recommend highly enough!!
We love Salty Dog! Very professional, friendly, and easy to work with. They develop a real relationship with our pets and I feel completely confident leaving them in their hands. They work hard to meet our needs, send text & photo updates so that we know all is well. It is so good to have this service offered and done so well!
Shani is super reliable, always sends photo updates and the best part is my pets love her. I feel totally comfortable leaving my animals in her care. I've even had some animals with medical and behavioral needs (I foster) during her visits and I've never had any concerns with her ability to tend to them.
My 3 pups just love going to great island kennel. We all love Hallie. Even our very nervous boy who can’t wait to get out the car and see her! I’m a hovercraft mom and my mind is at ease when I drop the pups off for boarding.
We absolutely love Great Island Kennel! We’ve boarded our dog with them several times over the years with confidence he’ll be well taken care of. Now, our dog starts to get excited when we pull up and is so happy to see his friends that he doesn’t even say goodbye!
My 2 German shorthaired pointers stayed 7 days at great island kennel. Hallie was able to get my dogs to eat, and gave there medications they needed at no extra charge. I highly recommend them I won't take my dogs anywhere else
They genuinely care about our pup and remember her by name, accommodate any requests or questions, and are exceptionally friendly and professional. Our dog is usually skittish around other pups, but she leaves every time wagging and calm. I rest easy knowing they take such good care.
We have been taking our English Springer Spaniel here for "seaside vacations" for almost 10 years now. Never had a less than wonderful experience. The kennel is super clean (and unlike the only bad review states, it is separate from the house) and Rusty enjoys the outdoor play area. When he has needed medication I have no concerns leaving it with them to administer. He recognizes the drive and is excited and happy to be there. I recommend it highly.
My dog stayed a week or so on boarding with Grand Island Kennel during our summer vacation. The oder of the place was terrible. The dogs I saw in their living room did not seem happy at all. Because the water bowls are hidden somewhere hard to find for the dogs. I am not quite sure if they did that on purpose so that they could reduce the times to bring the dogs out for bathroom. The first thing my dog did after we picked him up was to drink lot of water from the water bottle that we brought him. The worst part is, my dog got severe cough and strange loud noise in his throat right after he got home. We had to bring him to the vet. It turned out that he was infected a certain type of kennel cough from where he stayed. Although he’s got vaccine of kennel cough, it was unable to protect him from all kinds of kennel cough. He got well soon, but he’s got some problem with his respiratory system ever since. I will never use Grand Island Kennel again!
Oh my gosh, I wonder if Governmint is confusing Great Island with another kennel. We have been taking our dogs there for 8 years. They LOVE it and come home tired — a sure sign that they are getting plenty of exercise. Everything is perfect. Clean, professional, dog-loving environment. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. In fact, I stumbled on these reviews when I went to look up the kennel's phone number — we will be leaving our two goldens and one australian cattle dog at Great Island for two weeks while we are on vacation. Great Island Kennel rocks!!!!!
Did not watch my dog. She ate all of the treats (including some of the bag). Needed to go to the vet and be on antibiotics.
They are wonderful, very knowledgeable people who understand the different needs of different dogs.
They are awsome !!!! Gunner just loves going there :) I would recommend them to anyone !!!
Great place for the doggos to have fun with eachother, staff is fun and friendly. Prices are a little high, but worth it for the service. I wouldn't worry about the contract mentioned in the other review Even though written in, negligence isn't something that can be excused legally in a contract in Maine. It's just a deterrent thrown in there.
I’m probably the most neurotic and exacting dog Mom in Maine! But the cottage exceeds my expectations! My Akita Sammy, has been coming since January 2015, and he LOVES the care he receives here!!! Daisy Mae, our lab, also comes and considers herself the futon princess 💕 The staff goes the 2nd mile each and every day and we so appreciate them!!!!
Doggie Cottage has been an excellent and supportive place for boarding our cat and dog, as well as, taking excellent care for our dog three days a week. The folks there listen and understand the needs of who they are providing care for. I could go on and on! The management of the facility is always improving the property for their clients. I would not go anywhere else. We love them! Bryan B
My 3 girls have been boarded and attended daycare here and love it! They come home happy and tired! I have one social butterfly, one big mouth, and one very anxious pup- all three are up there in age but not spirit. I never worry when they're here as the entire staff are very personable with each dog making sure all 3 have a wonderful time, everytime.
I regret not bringing my pup here sooner. The staff at the Doggie Cottage are so wonderful and we love bringing our Lab Tucker here. You can tell how much they love their daycare pups and as a worrisome dog mom, it means the world to know someone is caring for my dog like I would. Tuck loves going so much that we can’t make any sudden movements around the 6:30 am time because he expects that it’s time to go to daycare and gets ridiculously excited. Thank you for all that you do, Doggie Cottage!
The best doggie daycare. Phil, Ashlee, Doryann & staff really care about all the dogs. Staff is the best. The cottage is a place that puts a smile on your face. Marty the party looks forward to hanging out with her furry friends everyday, especially with Leroy and Gus. Since this last post Martha passed away. We now have a new puppy Martha #4. Ashlee, Kylie, Madi, Jordyn & the rest of the staff comforted us when Martha passed, they were all there for us which we greatly appreciated. Martha #4 is part of the team at the cottage. She loves everyone there. We greatly appreciate the time and effort of the staff. Tremendous help with training. Martha #4 also is now being groomed by their absolutely fabulous groomer. So grateful to Ashley for taking her on. She was getting to be too much for me to handle. Thank you, thank you Doggie Cottage, your the best! There is no other playground for Martha#4 like the cottage.
