Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
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!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
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, $18/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!
Duke LOVES Happy Trails! 🐾 🩵 He can barely contain himself when we turn down the drive and he realizes where we are. They always take such great care of my sweet boy. Definitely recommend!! …
First time leaving any of our pets with anyone other than family/friends. I’ll never have to ask family/ friend to pet sit again. Our “baby”, Lady, was so well taken care of. She even came home in a festive handkerchief. So, so cute. WE WILL BE BACK!
First time using their service this weekend. We will definitely use them again. They asked us if we would like to tour the facility, and we did. Very clean and organized. Very nice people to work with. We have a black lab and an aussie-Doodle. Both well taken care of. Good prices too!
Never had a problem. All my dogs have given them a 1 “Paw” up!! I trust them completely
Awesome place to temporarily home our Great Dane and Lab while out of town. Great staff and facilities!
I rate below one star. I had called & left a VM about boarding my dog there. In the callback I outlined my dog's medical needs. The woman yelled at me, "WHY IS HE STILL ALIVE!" So unprofessional let alone cruel. That's between me & my vet. Just say no, don't be nasty about it!
My two dogs, Jax and Hunter, were very well cared for. They stayed for 5 days. They smelled nice when I picked them up and they seemed to really like the staff. Staff sent photos through text at my request while I was gone. Will always use this dog hotel for my hounds.
They take great care of my kids 💜 …
Absolutely love Happy Trails. The only place I feel comfortable enough to leave my furbaby Molly with, knowing she is being very well taken care of.
Very clean and friendly. Staff made it easier to drop my puppy off for the first time.
This is the nicest facility I have ever experienced. It is immaculately clean the owners and staff are very friendly. They are thoughtful and consider each dog individually. Sweet pea had a fabulous time on her dog vacation! Highly recommended very very thoughtful kind competent service great value
Absolutely love this place! We have been taking our puppy here for a few years now. They are very kind in person and on the phone. Our Belle loves coming here and I wouldn't trust anyone else with our baby! She is a ball of energy. The owners always make sure she is up to date with her vaccines and inquire about any new preferences or changes since her last stay. I would highly recommend this Kennel! In fact I have and my friends are very pleased as well.
We had never used a boarding place for our dog before finding Leiter's Country Kennel. Pam and Bob are amazing and LOVE our dog. They make sure that he has time to play, heat, air conditioning, and even soothing music! The place is spotless, and the staff is so friendly. I never have a question about him being happy and cared for. He is so tired out and happy when he comes back home. He absolutely loves going there and I would never take him anywhere else. The price is very, very reasonable for the attention our big guy gets!
We love Leiter’s Country Kennels so much! A quiet country setting, beautiful Kennels, and lots of love for your dog are just some of the reasons we LOVE this kennel so much! Pam is wonderful to work with and cares a great deal about your dog... sending pictures and reports to you. Our Dog, Chloe, gets so excited when we pull up she nearly knocks down the door to get in! Thank you Pam and staff for caring for our Chloe and giving such attention to detail. We wouldn’t leave her with anyone else!
I boarded my dog here over the weekend. She has been boarded in the past at another place and did not do well there. She would hardly eat, she literally would climb up on my shoulder and cling to me for dear life, and she would cry all the way home. What a difference bringing her to Leiter's Country Kennel was. She ate fine; I could tell she was happy to see me when I picked her up, but it wasn't the anxiety-ridden greeting I've had in the past; and she didn't cry at all on the way home. The kennel is clean, the owner is really nice, and she has people working for her that spend extra time with the animals. I think that makes a big difference. Plus they sent me photos of my dog while I was gone, which was a nice touch. I will definitely board her here again if the need arises.
We have boarded dogs for roughly 7 years now at over 6 different locations in two states, and this is the best place they have ever stayed. They go hog-wild in the car once we turn down the gravel road! It is not the cheapest (it's pretty close), but you absolutely get what you pay for. Their shed is clean, climate-controlled, and very spacious (dogs get an inside kennel and an individual outdoor kennel space). If you stay during off-peak hours, Pam and Bob let your dogs have near-unlimited outdoor play as long as they are quiet (and don't try to tunnel out!). Our dogs have actually bonded better as a pair when staying with these folks. I highly endorse their recommendation.
Incredibly nice people and very caring of dogs. We brought our dog who is often nervous when boarded and around other dogs. They texted us updates and photos of her to let us know how she was doing. They spent the time to get to know her and care for her. Would recommend to anyone, amazing service and care.
Leiter's Kennels were very accommodating on getting my dog in last minute for daycare. I really appreciate their professionalism and will definitely use their services again.
I have been using this kennel for both long and short-term for a little over year now. I have been thoroughly impressed and grateful . They have always been able to accommodatell my two Goldendoodles, Sammy and Sade Rae, at even the shortest notice, every time. Additionally , when I plan to stay a few days longer on my trip, they have always been very kind and happy to have them for an extra day or two. The price is extremely reasonable, the staff very kind, and the social set up so great for my fur babies as they are enjoying the company of other dogs and taking away the added worry of thinking of them cooped up in a crate. Most importantly, Sammy and Sade Rae''s behavior and disposition regarding going to or leaving Leiter ''s Country Kennel is indicative of how well they are treated there. They love the ride there and as soon as I pull in the their driveway they are jumping around in the car to get out! Never once have they been anything but their happy self when I have to pick them up. This kennel is very clean. It is heated and has air conditioning. This is a great business that I am happy to support and would recommend to anyone who''s pet would enjoy the social experience offered at this fantastic kennel.
Excellent place to board your pet. Owner sent me updates and pictures of my pet through my trip. My cat came home happy and contented. Would definitely use again.
