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!
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
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.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
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!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
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.
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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, 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!
We’re a repeat customer with Nails & Tails! We love both Marilyn and Pamela. They’ve each watched our 7 yr old beagle who has allergies and needs to only eat her food. They sent the best pictures throughout the stay to show how much fun she was having. You can tell how much they really love dogs and the great care they take ensuring both your dog and you are comfortable. Thank you both!
Going out of town for any extended period of time has been difficult having 3 ferrets and 3 guinea pigs. Boarding is expensive, and on top of that you don't really get to see how your animals are doing. My wife and I were super grateful to have found Nails and Tails, and Marilyn specifically. From the first time she came by for a consultation it was clear not only did she have a passion for animals, but she understood how stressful leaving our animals is. Throughout our trip Marilyn kept us updated with texts and photos of our animals, and it really put our minds at ease. I cannot recommend Nails and Tails enough, especially if you have animals that are not as common to board.
What can I say about the awesome service provided by Marilyn? My guinea pig TJ was left for about a week while I was on vacation, my nervousness as instantly calmed when I first met Marilyn, her spirit and genuine love for animals is so amazing! I would get daily photos and videos while on vacation which eased my mind even more. My guinea pig was happy, healthy, well fed and well taken care of. I highly recommend her services and will definetly use in the future! Thank you so much Marilyn!
Marilyn was wonderful and accommodating! Our regular pet sitter cancelled last minute so we were googling frantically and ultimately took a chance & we are so happy we did! She did not disappoint
I needed someone to watch my puppy for a day last week from Sunday morning until Monday. I tried to reach out to few pet boarding places in the area but most were closed on Sundays. When I reached out to Marylin, she quickly responded. and I am so happy she did! Marylin was so amazing with my puppy and she sent me picture updates of what he was doing. I will be using her services again and recommend her.
Marilyn is an absolute pro with dogs! You can see that she genuinely loves animals and what she does for a living. She came to our house for a nail trim and dremel and our fur baby did very good with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be using her services again. Thanks again Marilyn! Keith
Marilyn was very kind and patient with my 2 dogs one of which is terrified of any type of grooming and she did wonderful with her. She did an excellent job with them and made sure I was pleased with everything.I will be using her from now on. I would definitely recommend her services.
My grandmother used Nails & Tails for her 16 year old cat, Maui, and absolutely loved the service. Marilyn did an excellent job grooming Maui and getting a mat out that was underneath his chin without upsetting him. We'll definitely be using her again in the future!
Marylin has groomed my little Beyoncé twice she has done an amazing job both times. Having her come to the home puts my mind at ease. She is such a sweet caring person. You should really give her a try if you are looking for a wonderful mobile groomer. Her prices are really reasonable I could go on and on but she is great!!!!!!!
I have found a groomer for life and I will never bring my 3 year old Persian cat Gary anywhere else again!!! Let me preface this by saying Before I met Marilyn I would bring Gary to a grooming salon for his annual lion cut and pay about $120; and this groomer was known to be “the best around”. Well every time I brought him home he’d walk around in a strange low riding position and seclude himself for days. we always thought he was just acclimating to being groomed. I learned after bringing him to Marilyn that this behavior was definitely not normal. The reason he had been walking strange was due to the previous groomer causing a kind of razor burn b/c she was too rough and going too fast/ not being careful. So when Gary came home from Marilyn he was 1) not walking strange and 2) he was so friendly and happy and he looked great! She was also able to erase all hints of Gary’s tear stains so needless to say I will not be taking my animals anywhere else again. The kindness and patience she showed my cat are traits that apparently are not found in all groomers. I am relieved to have found someone I trust to groom my animals and it certainly doesn’t hurt that her prices are AMAZING!!! Thanks again nails n tails!!!!
