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.

Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
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!
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
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.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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!
My pups Moet and Cashmere love these people. I have been using the daycare for a few months. They are so excited to get there and are exhausted when I pick them up. They are well cared for and loved. So thankful to have found this place for them.
I could not have higher praise for this home away from home for our fur babies.. Last week we boarded our two dogs with them. We have used them since we moved here two years ago and have been very pleased. One of our dogs was young and the other almost 15 years old. She had had problems recently getting up and down and had recently had a seizure. We were praying she would be ok until we got home. Unfortunately Shortly after we left she had another seizure and was in bad shape. The girls on duty called their manager who was on her day off. She immediately went to the facility, assessed the situation and took our sweet McKenzie to our vet. Our poor baby needed to be put to sleep in order to stop her suffering. They were so sympathetic and did everything they could to make the situation as easy for us as possible. Victoria called us numerous times as well as Best Friends Veterinary Clinic. Also our other little dog was confused and upset when McKenzie was taken away. They gave him lots of love and extra attention. They were all amazing! It was very difficult being away when this happened but they took care of everything so efficiently. The owner of Bed and Biscuit contacted us himself and offered his condolences and any services we might need. Justin was so upset for our loss. They are very caring and accommodating. We are forever grateful for everything they did and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good caring place to leave your pets when necessary. Thank you Justin, Victoria and all your staff for your support and kindness to us and our babies!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Our dear friend takes his border collie to this spot and couldn't say enough great things about Bed & Biscuits (which is the cutest name ever!) Recently we needed a place for our fur-baby Boogie and we called on short notice but they told us he was most welcome! We were anxious as it was our Boogie's first time away from home and us_ He literally had to be coaxed inside upon arrival. They took immediate action with him; gentle and loving. As we returned to scoop him up and take him home, we literally had to coax him OUT their door. They fell in love with our 'Boogie' and vice-versa. He had a blast there and adored the attention he received from the phenomenal team at Bed & Biscuits alike! We would pay it forward as our friend did for us_ This is the perfect spot for your fur babies when they need love, care, and a temporary home away from home. Very affordable and easy forms to fill out. We highly reccomend this wonderful spot and we give it (5) paws up 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Thank you guys_ especially to Cathy & Jessica! Boogie says he will be back soon for more of that loving & attention. 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕
Our dogs have been going to Bed & Biscuit for 5 years. Never a worry when we are away they take great care of them. They are always happy when we pick them up but the are happy when they go there too. Would recommend them to anyone! Great people who care about our dogs. Jessica also grooms our dogs and she is excellent. Takes great care in making sure they look their best.
Very impressed with Bed & Biscuit's facility when my family and I toured! Will update after my dogs stay for the first time.
We take our Nugget to Bed and Biscuit every chance we get!! He loves it there and we feel good about leaving him there. The grooming service and kennel service is great. The workers are all nice and knowledgeable.
OUTSTANDING KENNEL! Our exuberant 18 month old Weimaraner was boarded there from 10/26/13-11/2/13. Extremely kind and friendly group of care givers. We took her out 3 times for several hours while there and had a great time. Returned, they fed her. In the past, she hasn't always eaten her food out of anxiety separation but she wolfed it down and was happy to be there. I believe this kennel's approach actually would lure pet owners to the area because they make you feel very comfortable about leaving your pet. It is a very clean, attractive facility. Everyone is kind to the animals. Returning on night close to closing, we opened up the back and the dog jumped out and ran right to the front door where a caregiver came out to greet her. They also charge a flat fee...and don't knit pick you with extra charges for this or that. We asked for her nails to be trimmed and they charged $7 for that but we have paid $15 for that service at other kennels. Highly recommend this kennel. Bill, who owns it, has been doing this for years and still is fresh and loves his work. THAT is evident!!! As a result, he almost always has 50 dogs there.
Our dogs first time visit and when we went to pick him up the next day, he didn't want to leave. The staff was really pleasant. Reasonable price for stay. Will return when needed. Thanks again
We've used this kennel many times over the last several years and I can honestly say something must have happened. What we thought of as a safe place to board our little Chihuahua had become a near-death zone. We will not be taking him back. It took us ten days to get our little guy healthy again after the last visit.
Visiting Fairfield Glade and brought the family dog with us, even though the resort did not allow dogs. I took her to Bed and Biscuit. Reasonable price to board the dog, appears to have been cared for. The staff was very friendly and answered any questions or concerns.
Love this place! My 2 small dogs are always so well taken care of while they’re being boarded. The staff is so kind and the facility is always super clean! I recommend them to EVERYONE!!
We love Creature Comforts and so do our pets! They are the sweetest, most caring people and you can tell they love working with pets. They are currently watching our 3 huskies. We were able to board them together as a group so they could still play together and give each other comfort❤ This place is the best by far!
Creature Comforts in Livingston. I have only brought my dog to this business one time. I booked dog last minute and did not go to facility ahead of time. The staff was friendly. I paid for yearly shots, deworm and bath, all was done during his stay. Prices are competitive and no temper test was required. If you are concerned about your dog getting outside time, do not bring them here. Dogs are taken outside 4 times a day for 15 minutes each. The rest of the time is spent in a cage with no contact with other animals. I figure this is why no temper test is required ahead of time. Other then no outside time to run or social time with other dogs, I have no complaints.
Left my 1 year old rottweiler with them for 5 days while my family and I went on vacation. They greeted her by name and she seemed to be very comfortable from the first minute. The staff was very well trained and made it much easier for me to leave her in their care. Required shots be up to date, boardadella, and dog flu/ kennel cough vaccination. The price was $21 a day. I will definitely use them again.
My dogs love it here and I am always at peace when I know they are there. The staff is great and very attentive to the animals. When they say we treat your pet like family, believe it because they do.
My dogs and I absolutely love creature comforts. The staff all know my dogs by name. My older dog Reece has some anxiety issues and he uses a pair of old socks to self sooth. A couple of times I forgot his socks and a staff member went out of his way to bring Reece a pair. Remi and Reece get so excited when we tell them we are going to see Sheila at doggy daycare. Also, they are right beside our vet so if anything comes up or one of the boys is behind on his vaccinations they come over and give them. I would recommend Creature Comforts to family and friends and anyone else looking for the best place in town for your fur babies.
My dogs and myself absolutely love this place. I would not trust any other place for my girls. The staff at Creature Comforts are loving, caring and very attentive. I would recommend Creature Comforts to all my friends and family.
Hurt my family’s dog, do not use! My family used this business as a retreat for their family pet while on vacation. Upon picking her up, her tail was bent and had a large purple bump in the middle. After taking her to see a vet, it was revealed the tail was permanently damaged. Our dog did not recover fully until about 4 months later and it is permanently bent at an angle. Upon inquiry, they take no responsibility, however it was not bent and she was not hurt at all when they dropped her off. Again do not use Creature Comforts! There are plenty of other businesses that will make sure your pet is safe.
They took amazing care of my golden retriever !! The staff is friendly and helpful!
Very happy with the Creature comforts facility and staff. They did a nice job watching our dog Heidi. We'll be back.
