Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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 20$ per visit, $15/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!
Every time my husky stays at the kennel, he gets so excited when we get there that he pulls me to the door and can't wait to get inside. He loves it there! I wouldn't take him to stay anywhere else!
Great place! Wanda and staff took great care of our Cane Corso “Cane”! It’s very clean and it’s an awesome place to take our gentle giant! Thanks so much 😊 …
Great place to board your dogs!! I will not board my dogs anywhere else. Wanda and staff are amazing and they actually care
Great communication (super appreciated a few pictures)! Very clean facility. My dogs appeared well care for.
EXCELLENT customer service. Super affordable! 25 for all day care? My puppy was extremely wiped out! 30 overnight? Mannn can't beat those prices!!! Wanda is extremely professional and really knows how to handle a hyper pup! Will definitely be bringing our dog back!!
Wanda, the owner of Hall Town Kennels, has taken amazing care of our two Maltese dogs numerous times. The kennels are exceptionally well maintained. Wanda treats our dogs as family & cares for them as she would her own dog with lots of love & attention. I highly recommend Hall Town Kennels!
They took care of my rescue dog when I just met her and left her in there care and they did a wonderful job. Thanks
Took my two smaller dogs there for the first time. They did wonderful, I can tell they were well taken care of. The facility is very clean even on my surprise first time visit. Highly recommend, my baby's will be coming back, thanks Wanda😊
Great place. Very clean. The owner is awesome and friendly. The kennels have an individual outside run area so the dogs can play outside in good weather. I highly recommend them to everyone. My dogs love it and my daughter kept her 3 dogs there also.
My dog loves Wanda. She is always excited to go to the kennel and never fearful or depressed about staying. I feel so secure knowing my Allie is well cared for and having fun while I am away.
We called up two days before we needed boarding desperate to find a place. They accepted our dog last minute, and it was truly the best thing for our boy. When we dropped him off, he immediately took to Victor and forgot all about us. Our dog, who usually has really bad separation anxiety, went off like a kindergartener who made friends. Victor sent us multiple videos while we were away to show how our boy was doing, and in every video, he looked so incredibly happy. When we picked him up, he was the happiest boy. The pricing was great. The communication was great. And what we saw looked good. Our boy was taken for a walk with other dogs on a trail. They have kennels they can go in and out of throughout the time and a couch they can also sleep on. A big difference between this place and others is that this isn't a kennel. He was around other dogs the entire time, which he loved.
We have a 10 year old Akita and needed someone to watch her at our home, so we called My Trails and Tails. Sooo glad we did. We spoke with Victor, who was super kind and helpful. He watched Dancer at our home for a week while we were away. What an amazing service!! Each day we got updates, pictures and videos of our girl and she was always so happy!! She really liked Victor. Complete peace of mind that she was being well cared for and, just maybe, a little spoiled. Highly recommend My Trails and Tails!!!
Absolutely a home away from home for our Pawpaws! They take care of our dogs as their own. I highly recommend them to all who need pet sitting!
Victor always does such a good job with my dog, and gives updates daily!
We used the Pet Nanny last fall. I have always had so much anxiety leaving all of my animals for more than one night that I just did not do it. I found the Pet Nanny online, read about her, the company, services, saw they are licensed and decided to try it. The animals really liked her when she came to meet them. I gave detailed instructions about all their needs and issues. She was fine with everything. We were gone for 4 days. She and her staff took care of our 2 dogs and 8 cats. Everything went great!! And she text me throughout to let me know how they were. I will use her anytime we go anywhere which will be more often and possible now 🙂 Thank you Pet Nanny!!
I have had multiple pets my entire life, and am admittedly SUPER paranoid about leaving them. I tend to have shyer animals, and am not comfortable leaving them with just anyone. After finding Dana and her crew after a not-so-great experience with another pet sitter, I finally feel like I can leave them and not have to worry. She has a pet portal that is very user friendly where you can communicate directly with Dana and her staff, get updates on the visits, and even see pictures of your pets during the visit! She is professional, accommodating, and organized. You can tell she genuinely cares about the services she provides for her customers, and their pets. I'm so happy I found her.
The Pet Nanny has the best sitters I've ever experienced. I have used several in Richmond before I moved to Gloucester, and I can say that the Pet Nanny has the best follow through and attentiveness of any I've ever used. I get updates and photos with every visit. They are the best!!
First contact with Dana sealed the deal. It's all about the critters! 🥰 …
Always dependable, professional and caring. We recommend highly.
My Trails and Tails is perfect for my pup! He goes to doggie daycare one day each week and wants to stay with Victor when I go to pick him up. The personal attention is heart warming. Victor and Abigail obviously love all living creatures. My pup loves the nature walks through the woods and down to the water. The large enclosed area allows him to run and play with the other pups. At nap time he goes into the home. I could go on and on about My Trails and Tails because being there helps give my pup his best possible life!
This is not a boarding facility! No fencing, no kennels, it is pet sitting in their house. They seem to be great people, and I’m sure they care and do a good job. Their set up is not for a high energy dog that needs sturdy fencing.
Wonderfully clean. Very friendly front desk staff. The Vet Tech was very personable and knowledgeable. The Vet was very thorough with the check up of our puppies. Their prices are very reasonable as well. A wonderful place to take your fur babies to get taken care of.
Had several well visits with my dog that were good, then when he was not well we called twice and was told both times that we should go to an emergency clinic. Wouldn’t even offer to do a basic exam to see what the issue might be. As a …
Wonderful place! My dog loves it here. Okay, maybe she don't always but, they are all so kind. Bee loves Dana who grooms her!
Very kind and attentive vet and staff. Went out of their way to make sure we could be seen as new patients, get numerous labs drawn, and microchipped. Would recommend this practice.
Great & understanding staff. We had a very difficult discussion to make & felt horrible about what we had to do. They made us feel better about a bad situation. Thanks to the staff, my husband and my self knew what we needed to do & what was best for our Buddy. It was a sad day & we miss him everyday but he's in a better place. 🙏😇🐈 …
Very caring staff. Vets keep you well informed about any medical issues your pet may have. Wish they had Saturday hours and a way to overnight pets that have had surgery & need care.
I had to make a difficult decision today to euthanize a stray cat I’ve been feeding for the past several years. The staff and vet were so understanding of the circumstances and spent ample time with me discussing my options, as well as …
Wish I could give them a zero. Very poor customer service from Dr. Mitchell. Took my dog there with ear issues. He had the vet tech swab her ears, test came back with yeast infection. NOT ONCE did he even touch my dog. Never looked in her …
I recently moved to Gloucester from Richmond, and my one year old kitten came down with severe anemia so she was at critical care hospital in Richmond for five days. They sent her home, but I have to keep checking blood every other day to …
Wonderful vet and staff. We used this vet office years ago and had great experiences then. We just moved back with a pittie that is skeptical of new people. They did a wonderful job with her care, reading her body language, and making her feel comfortable. All staff were so kind.
