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!
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!!
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!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
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"!
My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
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, $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!
My dog loves this place and she does not like every daycare. Definitely recommend for playful dogs, I'm sure all dogs love Happy Dog as well!
The best doggy daycare! My basset Hickory doesn't always find it easy to be social. The Happy Dog folks make sure he is in the right play group for his needs and that he has a true happy experience! They often give me reports when I come for pick up so I know he is getting personalized care not just another face in the crowd. As much as Hickory enjoys seeing his doggy friends I think he likes his people friends even more! The staff at Happy Dog are truly wonderful! Every time we come to drop off my dog is wagging his tail and every time I pick up he has a happy doggy smile. With half day and whole day options prices are very reasonable. This place really does make for a Happy Dog!
Happy Dog is great! We've taken our dog there several times. The staff is extremely friendly. They have indoor kennels and also have covered outdoor play areas for the dogs to run around.
I find myself relating to pet parents who know just how important it is to find a safe and happy place for their animal companions. I found that magical spot in Happy Dog. My pup comes home after a long day of playing and being showered with love and attention.
My dog Ripley absolutely loves it here. I have to roll the back windows of the car up on the way to drop him off, because he once got so excited that he jumped out the window! He is always super happy to come play with his friends and is peacefully tired when I pick him up. The staff are all friendly, calm, professional, and efficient -- and my dog loves them, too. They manage the busy drop off and pick up times of day amazingly well. I had never used a doggy daycare service before this and was very hesitant at first, but I have been put completely at ease, and I know that if I ever need to board Ripley here overnight he will be in good hands. ❤
We were displaced due to the fires. Our beagle was with us and we needed a day care so while my daughter attended remote classes she wouldn't pester her. This place is amazing from the staff to the other dogs they allow. Our dog came back at the end of the day tired and happy. After the first day she hopped right it if the car and ran with the attendants inside she was so thrilled to be there! They are observing very strict and careful covid distancing. Which is so important right now. We were so happy to find them and if we're ever there again I'll 100% bring it dog there.
My dogs, Sienna and Spencer, absolutely love their weekend and daycare getaways to Happy Dog!! They start getting excited on the freeway before dropping them off. Happy Dog staff have been great to them. It feels good to get away and know our fur kids are in good hands!!!
My dog has gotten kicked out of another daycare before for playing too rough because they sorted dogs into 3 categories. I love that happy dogs sorts them based on size AND play style. My boy loves it there! They have better prices than the other place too and are pretty quick with getting my dog out and notifying if there were any issues.
I've taken my dogs to a number of places and Happy Dog is by far the best. My dog is getting older and requires a little extra attention and the staff at happy dog treated her amazing. And when work kept me away for weeks on end they made sure Maggie was in good health and happy. I can't say enough of how awesome this business and staff are. Many thanks !
Staff folks are superb. My Corgi, Zuli nearly knocks the door down to get in at drop off and just as happy to come home, when I pick her up. I’ve brought my dogs to Happy Dog daycare and boarding since 1998. Always a great experience for the dogs and for me!
THE ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS We recently left our 3 dogs for a week at Whisker City, in Fortuna, CA. (all Belgian Malinois X German Shepherd Dogs) We were a bit anxious as our dogs haven't been away from home more than an overnight in their lives. The facility is clean and inviting and full of animal loving, caregivers. We picked them up this morning and, of course, they were happy to see us but I think they might have been as happy to stay with their new friends as to go home with us. The personal care that the babies received was unbeatable and the pricing is very reasonable. If I could give 10 STARS I would. Thanks to all the wonderful caregivers at Whisker City, Sincerely, Sherman, Buster and Emma
