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!
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
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!
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
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.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
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!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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!
This is the best affordable dog boarding in athens ! took my dog here for a few days and he loved it! he met his identical twin as well!
We are so glad we found this doggie daycare! We have been wanting to go on vacation but have been hesitant because what do we do with our dogs. I have heard nightmare stories at daycares! Our dogs are our kids and I’m a helicopter mom with them! One of our dogs has a heart condition and we didn’t want to take him somewhere where he’d be stressed. Also, he’s on a strict schedule with medicine that keeps him alive. Leaving them here took a lot of the worry and stress away! We got pupdates everyday and I could see in the pictures that they were not stressed at all and having a good time! Highly recommend wags n whiskers!!!!
They are amazing. Our beliefs differ and i was cautious at first but they took very great care of our animals. We will return and highly recommend.
They did a great job taking care of my dog. Very good price as well cant beat it. They were also able to take my dog on only a day notice.
Have taken my puppy here two times already, great people. Theyll update you on your dog and they are very understanding! Definitely always my first option from now on.
I LOVE Wags 'N' Whiskers! Beverly is the only one that I trust my gigantic mastiff! She loves every pet that comes to her like her own and I wouldn't hesitate to have my pup stay with her any day of the week! If you live in the Athens area, you need to give her a call!
My dog was boarded for one week while I was away. Wags n Whiskers was very friendly, sent several photos and updates and treated my dog as family. I highly recommend.
Beverly takes excellent care our doggo and outdoor cat when we're away! She is attentive and responsive... always sends pics!
My Rowdy enjoys going there and I feel good about him going there. He has spent many days there.
Very understanding.
We were in Athens for a cheer competition and no other dog daycare would take my pup close to the venue. THANK GOD FOR HAPPY TAILS! I called and spoke with the nicest lady that told me not to worry and they would take my girl! Nova had the best time! She slept the entire way home! You can tell the owners and staff really enjoy what they are doing! I am a FOREVER CUSTOMER! THANK YOU HAPPY TAILS! My girl will definitely be back anytime we are in the area!!
Our dog had an amazing time here! The ladies working there were kind and happy to see my pup. They made her feel very welcome.
Happy tails has always been such a wonderful boarder for our pups. We have been using them consistently for a few years. They always remember our beagles by name! Our doodles are newer family members and Happy tails has welcomed them graciously. When one of our dogs had an issue with the other of our dogs he was rooming with, they realized quickly and changed his run. Our dogs (we have 4) love to spend a few days at happy tails. I love seeing photos when we are away, the dogs seem to miss us less than we miss them. For years we have spent countless hours interviewing people to care for them at home, however, having the peace of mind knowing they are safe while we are traveling is worth every penny. I would honestly give these sweet boarders a 5/5 rating. Happy pups, happy us!! Thank you guys at Happy tails, I recommend you often!
We recently boarded all of our dogs for a week with Happy Tails. They range in size from 18 to 65lbs with varying energy levels. When we dropped them off, the owners made sure they had all of the info they needed for each dog's schedule and requirements. During the week, we checked their Facebook page (probably a little too frequently) to see the photos posted each day. One of the best things Happy Tails did is give each dog plenty of time and attention outside without charging any extra fees. All of our dogs came home happy and healthy from their stay and we will be using Happy Tails for our future trips.
My dogs always return safely from Happy Tails. This is where my vet boards his dogs. The hygiene and care for the dogs is great. My specific dogs sometimes return with bump or scratch, always self-inflicted from excitement. Pleased with flexibility and pricing, very local.
I have put off giving this a review (I want to give more than 5 stars), because I don't want more people to know about this amazing facility. A fantastic place to bring your dog. Very accommodating and engaging. Highly recommend.
Our anxious dog, Maggie, had such a good time at Happy Tails! We loved the staff and how much they worked with her to make sure she was comfortable. Highly reccommend!
I boarded my dog here for 1 night, 2 days and everything went great. When I picked her up, she seemed so happy and relaxed. We'll definitely be back! It brought me a lot of peace of mind to have my dog with such caring people while I was away. Thank you :)
Have been taking my dogs here for years. They always get excited once they realize where they are going. My retired service dog Freckles loves it here.
They take great care of my anxious little pup! 🥰 Two years later edit: Absolutely the best place. My dog has anxiety about new people, but he's soo good at drop-off when I bring him. He goes with them nicely with a tail wagging. They post photos, so I can check and see his happy face. Definitely where I will go to always!
