Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
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, $19/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 husky, Azula, has been coming to Better K9 for around 3 years. I cannot stress enough how much she has loved this place. She starts to recognize the route when I’m about to drop her off and immediately starts crying with impatience. Not only has she made friends with the dogs, but with the staff as well. They have shown, on multiple occasions, that this is not just their job. They love these dogs. They are amazing and thoughtful, we’ve received Christmas cards/treats and overall, friendly service. On her last day, the staff came out to say bye to her 😭 I have included pictures they took of Azula to show how much fun and caring this place is!
Better K9 has been wonderful for our dogs. They love going there and get great care. We appreciate how they keep us informed and make sure our dogs are doing well. We have had a fabulous experience with Jack Reacher, the trainer. He is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. Our dog has become much better trained and more reliable. We are excited about continuing to learn from Jack and helping our big dog be at his best.
I recommend this Doggie daycare, staff are always welcoming, staff greet you with kindness. I feel very comfortable leaving Jax.
My frenchie stayed for 5 nights and had a great time. When I picked him up he immediately wanted to go back inside which was a great indication that he was happy while there! He came home exhausted and slept for hours. Will definitely use again
Very caring and attentive staff. Excellent facility. Brought my Aussie pups for an evaluation today and they will be going back for doggy day care and agility training. Got a report card and felt like a proud kindergarten parent!
My dog is a new boy! I adopted him at about 1 from a City shelter, he had never left the backyard prior to being surrendered to the City. He was very overreactive to everything, no understanding of a collar and leash. What I loved the most is that all breeds are allowed to mingle and ay as part of pack time. We are 7 months out since he completed his 21day training stay, he continues to be as good as the day he came home! Wonderful job😀
Great staff, they offer my pup playtime, grooming, feeding some training as well. It's a great place for my baby boy
The staff is welcoming and open, making sure your pup(s) feel welcomed. They do a trial run to ensure your pet is well behaved and fits in with the other pups. I really appreciated this because then I knew my dogs were with other pups that were also vetted. The facility is well equipped with indoor and outdoor activities and is very clean. Security is of utmost importance as well. We have 2 dogs and they boarded them together at night which made us feel more comfortable.
Our 3 year old foxhound loved her time at Better K9! She was at the Corona location for 3 weeks to learn obedience and was also boarded. The staff were quick to reply if we had questions and also provided updates and photos throughout her time there. They even called to inform us she wasn't mastering a few commands and asked if they could keep her a few extra days to ensure she learned them at no extra charge! Jack did an amazing job teaching our girl basic commands and instilling obedience into her. She looked happy in every photo we received and came home well mannered. I highly recommend Better K9 for boarding or training! Jack is a great, thoughtful trainer and the staff are incredibly sweet.
The staff at Better K9 have taken care of Wylie at overnight camp at both of the facilities since he was 2 years old . He loves going there. When I first took him to other overnight facilities, he would look over his shoulder so sadly at me as I dropped him off. With the Better K9 staff, he walks right in and never looks back, his tailing wagging a mile a minute. Now that he is older, the great care they give him, including his medications, is a great comfort to me. He is always happy and more energized when I pick him up than when I dropped him off. He thrives on the attention the staff gives him and the chance to "just hang out" with other older dogs. Audrey and Veronica and their staff are great.
We left our 7 months old lab with Michelle for a week last June. Bailey’s trainer had recommended Barktails to us because we were in need of boarding in a pinch. The experience was awesome. Bailey was very comfortable with Michelle from the start and had a blast during her stay. Michelle consistently kept us up to date with pictures and videos. She was even willing to spend time teaching Bailey how to swim. Though Bailey wasn’t ready just yet Michelle was sweet enough to send her home with a gift. Bailey used that pink swim vest to learn how to swim at home the following week. And since then we can’t keep her out of the pool. Next time we need to board Bailey we will definitely make the call to Barktails. They go above and beyond. An we absolutely know Bailey will be in a safe home environment.
Barktails was an amazing experience for my senior dog, Tanner. Michelle watched my dog for a week in her home while my family and I went on vacation. This was the first time I had no worries leaving my dog. We got daily updates and pictures. Tanner was so happy there and loved everyone at Barktails. They treat all the dogs as if they were their own. I will definitely be using Barktails anytime we go on a trip! Don”t hesitate to use Barktails for your furry family member!
Michelle at Barktails is wonderful! My (90 pound pup) can be tentative around other dogs. Michelle was very patient with her and took the time to truly help her become comfortable! She will even send messages and video updates so that I can see how she is doing. Now Rey runs right up to the front door ready to play for the day! Thank you Michelle and Barktails! We look forward to our next time with you! 🐾💜
I'm so happy that I found Barktails! I truly feel when I leave my pups with Barktails that they are being taken care of the way that I would, providing love, attention, care and of course, a lot of play time! Whether at my home or at their location, I know I can be away and not worry about how my kiddos are doing. Frequent updates with pictures is so great! Also, 2 of my pups are on medication, and I trust that they will get their meds as needed. I highly recommend Barktails!
Michelle is kind and compassionate! She truly cares for your pet while they are in her care. She sends daily messages and pictures that are always so reassuring! She goes out of her way to make you and your pet comfortable… and most importantly that the pets are safe! We will absolutely be using Barktails again!
Barktails is the ONLY petsitter I will trust with my dogs! My husband and I were able to go out of town together for the first time in forever because I had 1000% percent confidence Michelle can handle our two quirky kids with some medical needs. She also loves and treats your dogs like they are her own. We all had a vacation. 🐾🥰 …
Our dogs had a fantastic time at Michelle’s—they didn’t even want to come home after 10 days! As pet parents, we felt a level of peace of mind that we never found at other boarding places. Michelle and her husband provide exceptional care for our fur babies, sending updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. Our pug required some extra care/needs, and Michelle handled everything perfectly. Just a heads-up: your pet might come back a little sad or even lovesick—ours did! Yogi developed the biggest crush on Joe. Despite the distance, this will definitely be our go-to place from now on.
If you’re looking for a place that would take great care of your fur baby like their own, look no further. I’ve booked with michelle several times now and can say that she always does great with my baby girl coco. Michelle is knowledgeable, reliable and really sweet. I’m given picture/video updates of how’s coco’s doing which is always appreciated. I can tell coco always has a good time and is well take care of. Thank you again Michelle!
Barktails provided amazing care for all of my pets. They definitely went above and beyond, by sending me pics and updates on all my babies. I could tell they were all happy and enjoying their time with Michelle. It’s always hard leaving them while I’m out of town, but knowing they will be in good hands with Barktails makes it easier. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using their services in the future.
We had our dog stay here over the weekend and he loved it! Pickup he was the most calm and happy. We really liked that they send daily updates and photos. They also require up to date vaccines and medical on all animals boarding which gave us peace of mind as well. Pickup and drop off times were flexible as well. Recommend this boarding facility and will use again when we take a trip.
