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.

It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
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!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
strongly recommend Christine and Phil to housesit for your kitty. Our pets, Babbles and Cousin Eddy, and property, were in very good hands while we where away for two weeks. They had a fair amount entailed with two cats on different food and needs. Cousin Eddy, or Edoardo, is a barn cat we recently adopted. Eddy is very sweet and stays outside but hangs out the side door wanting to be petted and fed; Bubbles is an indoor cat. Both cats were spoiled by Christine and Phil! Christine and Phil were also very caring and attentive with the needs of our Airbnb guests. During the time we were away they kept us updated daily (including photos of the cats). When we came home, our house was perfect, with lovely fresh flowers, notes for us, and our cats had been well-cared-for. They are wonderful house sitters, and we highly recommend them. They were Five-star sitters of our house and cats!
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.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her 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 $ per visit, $10/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!
I’ve been taking my dogs here for daycare and grooming. The staff is so friendly and welcoming! Any questions I asked they answered happily. I will forever take my four legged babies here!
We’ve only used them twice but both times have been great. The staff is friendly and welcoming. My dog always seems to have a great time and comes back happy and wiped out. The only thing I wish was different was the option to add photos/videos while the dogs are there. I totally understand that the staff is busy but just would love to see my pup while away. Regardless we will totally be using their service again…in fact we’ve already booked our next reservation!
We started bringing my Standard Poodle here for grooming about a year ago, when there was a wait to get with the mobile pet groomer. It was supposed to be a one-time thing, but Ashlyn does such a great job that she has become our permanent groomer. Our Poodle is large - 72 lbs, and she does a wonderful job all over. She's always open to new ideas and is very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Hanover Your Pet for grooming!
First time boarding my unfriendly cat with Hanover Your Pet. The staff was friendly and showed me the cat room where she would stay. Facility was very clean and there were a few cats already there along with many dogs by the sound of them!! The price was reasonable and was $15.00 per day less than the one behind Hanover Green Veterinary clinic!! I would happily take my cat there again and recommend them!
Took my two pups here to board them for a weekend. They got lots of attention, lots of playtime, and we're well taken care of and fed. I will definitely bring my dogs back.
Boarded my cat here for 7 days, called on the 2nd day to check on her & they told me she had the sniffles, to which I told them to call me if it got any worse. My phone broke after this, but there was another number on file plus the emergency contact. My cat didn't eat THE LAST 4 DAYS she was in their care & they didn’t call either of the numbers. Got her back dehydrated and starving and covered in drool, her breath smelled terrible and the vet believes her kidneys started to fail, waiting on bloodwork results. We believe she will recover but she ate immediately when she came home & this has never happened before when boarding her at other places so it’s hard to believe this wasn’t incompetence. They also forgot to give me back her blanket and wet food cover that I had to go back for. Failed to communicate on so many levels professionally and medically, will never be back. Please take this as a warning to not bring your cat here
Absolutely wonderful experience for me and my pets. Personable, safe, clean, and timely.
We recently boarded our dog here for 4 days. He came home with kennel cough. My biggest issue is with the lack of communication from staff. When we picked him up he was obviously not well yet they had him running around with other dogs outside. Staff said nothing to us. I find it hard to believe they did not notice the symptoms.
Our Collie and Golden Retriever love it here! They stayed for 9 days while we were on vacation. We paid extra for pool time everyday and they loved it. The cost for boarding is very reasonable. The day care rate seems a little high, but the dogs are happy so we use it when we need to. Staff is great! Manager is awesome! Overall 2 thumbs up. Haven't used the grooming services yet, but just might try them next time!
We've used several boarding places for our pup, but this one is our favorite. We've really had great experiences boarding our dog, Brooke, here. Their groomers also do a fantastic job with her as well!
A great experience for our dog. He was there for a practice day and night then for 11 days. He had no issues- staff were loving to him.and reassured us that he would be fine since this was his first time being boarded other than staying with friends!
They are wonderful to my dog Augustus and very accommodating. I always feel at ease knowing he is safe, happy, and well taken care of with them. I highly recommend them. Thank you!
Another job completed. Help assist a customer to order leaf springs for his RV. I did not have time myself to do the repair but I got him under way and helpers him to locate the parts with initial visit with my mobile service so hopefully he is on his way. I asked him to reach out if he needed anything else and he confirmed all was going well. I was able to help him and the tech with the slight size difference and understanding of the aftermarket parts so I’m assuming all went well. Very nice gentleman and the place overall seemed like a great place from what I could take from his description of what they do there. Dog racing and other events. Seems like fun. I wish him the best of luck and I am definitely interested in visiting myself now and maybe bringing my dog or calling for more information. Beautiful spot and over all sounds like a good time!! Here is a picture of what had happened. This had broke and I was able to quickly locate two of them so he could get back on the road. Feel free to visit my page as well if your in need of any vehicle repairs problem we do it all!! Best of luck to this gentleman and I am sorry I stay so busy but at least I could get him started and on his way on time!! Good to here!! He works at here he explained. No need to put all of his information out but spoke highly of Dude Ranch and was a very understanding and hard working gentleman. Regards.
I dropped off my German Shepherd on a Friday and toured the facility before I handed her over. I cannot RAVE enough about how SPOTLESS this place was even with an almost packed house. There was zero smell that's what I noticed immediately... not even a chemical air freshener scent... it was just CLEAN!. Every dog had water & blanket/bed and seemed happy and the walls between them were solid which I thought was great because they couldn't fight or spread germs between bars. I opted for the Luxury Suite for my dog and it was so POSH! She had a toddler bed with mattress, blankets, & pillow. a toy shelf FULL of toys and a TV!!!! Did I mention turndown service with a treat on her pillow, how adorable is that? I also liked the fact that she had a Dutch door instead of the wire grid so it had more of a homey feel instead of a kennel. I can't imagine ANYONE being unhappy with this facility or any of the staff members! They even sent me pictures when I called to check on her.... I would GLADLY take her back. When I picked her up she was happy, clean, and just as clean as when I dropped her off! I've attached the picture they were kind enough to send me!
Great place. I take my 100 pound Doberman there and he loves it! He always comes back in good shape and loves the play groups. The staff who take him in and out seem to know him and his goofy quirks. The reservation form is annoying but this place has openings and availability and friendly and competent staff. I am glad they are vigilant about vaccines and checking for fleas.
During my dog's stay at your facility, he unfortunately suffered a significant tongue injury, which resulted in a laceration that measured 3/4 inches across and went completely through the tongue. While I understand that accidents can happen, I am deeply concerned by the lack of timely communication and proper attention given to my dog's injury. It is evident that the staff acknowledged the severity of the injury to some extent, as they provided basic first aid. However, I was not informed about the incident nor was a veterinarian consulted in a timely manner. This oversight becomes all the more alarming given the noticeable alteration to my dog's tongue, which resembled that of a lizard! Moreover, it appears that the injury caused prolonged bleeding, which again raises questions about the level of care and attentiveness provided by the staff. Following a veterinarian visit, surgery, and a considerable financial expense, my dog is now on the road to recovery. However, had the situation been addressed with appropriate urgency and care, his healing process and trauma would likely have been significantly reduced. I must express my disappointment and concern regarding the apparent disregard for the health and safety of the animals entrusted to your care. I sincerely hope that steps will be taken to improve the communication and attentiveness provided to the pets and their owners in the future.
We absolutely love this place - and so does our chocolate lab! He hops right out and cannot wait to go inside and play with his friends. It's great for us to be able to travel now knowing our four-legged loved ones are in Loving Hands. Thank you dude ranch!:-)
My 2 little dogs love Dude Ranch! They are always excited when we drop off but obviously pleased to be coming home at pick up! The staff are extremely helpful and polite.
Went out of state for 6 days and they took great care of my frenchie! Came home spotless and received his medication on time. They also sent me photos of my pet while I was away, so that was very nice. Great place overall!
Love this place, have been using it for several years now. It's run by true animal lovers and they treat my pets like their own. My dogs always go enthusiastically, and they seem happy and normal when I pick them up. Someone is always on site. I also appreciate the fact that they don't charge extra to give medications. Before I found Dude Ranch, another place was charging a dollar per pill, which really added up for my older dog.
