I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
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.
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!
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!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Kathy and Ron are the most accommodating sitters you will ever find. At my request they arrived a few days early and also made it clear they would be willing to extend their stay as needed. While at first they were a little uneasy about giving pills to our cat Sparky, they soon got the hang of it and did an excellent job caring for both cats even though the cats have very different schedules and needs. Kathy was great about keeping in touch with us and we knew they would be just fine for the several days when we were out of communication range. I would gladly invite Ron and Kathy back anytime and highly recommend them to you for your next getaway!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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!
Amanda and her team really go above and beyond. We have three dogs and like most dogs, they each have their quirks. Everyone over communicates with us, they are all so great in our home and with our dogs. Aly is incredible as well. She was concerned that our vacuum was scratching the floor so she brought up new heads for our Dyson. They bring snacks if they think their stomachs hurt, they bring toys, I cannot say enough about the great experiences we have. Going out of town when we can’t bring our dogs is always stressful and I worry but they have really put me at ease.
Amanda is absolutely wonderful with dogs. I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember and it is obvious that Amanda knows dog behavior very well. One of my dogs is very high anxiety and aggressive and absolutely does not want to make friends with anyone. She took her time with him and literally had him eating out of her hand and doing tricks for her. I never thought I would find someone willing to work with him but she absolutely mastered my “advanced” dog. My other dog is elderly and needs medication and she has no problem taking care of him as well. She goes out of her way to make sure my pets are taken care of. I let her do her own thing as far as working with my dogs because she obviously knows dogs and knows what she is doing. She communicates with me and sends pictures every time she visits and booking dates and paying for services through her online portal is super convenient. So happy I found her! Cannot recommend her enough!
I cannot say enough about Amanda and her crew. My situation was unique because I called upon them to pet sit my father's dogs while he was in the hospital for months and all family was out of state. The love and kindness they showed to my father's dogs as well as the family during this difficult time went above and beyond. They stayed on top of the dog's care while also attending to needs around his house since we all were out of state. They all were an absolute blessing. When we realized my father would never be coming home they even helped us find a rescue organization for his dogs which was very emotional for all involved but their kindness will never be forgotten in my family. Thank you Amanda..Jen..and Amy for all you have done...God definitely put you all of you in our path❤️
I have known Amanda for years and once she started her Pet Services there was no question that I would prefer her taking care of our fur kids. She loves her job and the fur kids she cares for and goes above and beyond when she visits. I have referred several friends to her. When we are out of town she stays in touch with photos of our critters and I have so many photos that I cherish. If you need a pet sitter or a great pet photographer - call on Amanda!
I have 5 dogs, including a rescue with some issues for whom a second set of experienced "eyes" can be a tremendous help. Amanda has invaluable experience having worked in a vet's office, at various levels, and that was the most important factor in me choosing her above others I considered. Her ability to notice things I miss is very important, as well as her ability to connect quickly, and deeply, with all my dogs. I have a fearful one, who can be intimidating - Amanda had won him over in 30 minutes. Plus, she is an excellent photographer, something I consider a great sideperk. As long as I have dogs - forever - she will come by twice a week! Check out her website and Facebook to see some pics!
We have been using Premier Pet Sitting for a year and absolutely love it. We have a labradoodle, Gus, who is very energetic. He loves being there with Amanda and her dogs. Sometimes I am afraid he won’t want to come home. You can tell how much they really care about your pet.
Premier Pet Sitting considers all their clients “family”. The level of genuine care, concern and love they show on a daily basis is beyond exceptional. Whether it is a daily visit or in-house overnight care, they always go way above and beyond to make sure you know your pets are being lovingly cared for as if they were their own. It is hard to put into words how much I love this company-but having Premier Pet Sitting in our lives and taking care of our pet everyday is the greatest blessing!
I highly recommend Amanda and her team. She takes care of our pup just like he is her own. I have no worries when we aren’t home and he stays with her when we are out of town. We love Amanda.
Very very upset and disappointed...expected a visit from Amanda tomorrow. Had I not gotten a hold of her today, she would have just left me hanging. Right up front she was told I have a high strung hound. I left her commands he knows from training and treays to reward. Never used them and let him roam. He needs the discipline and is worse off now for her not using them. Good luck. The high reviews may be misleading
Cannot say enough amazing things about this pet sitting company! I have been working in veterinary medicine since 2001 so needless to say I am VERY particular about who watches my fur babies. These guys not only send you pictures at every visit, they do a little write up about how everyone is doing. Highly recommend Premier Pet Services!!!
