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!
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
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!
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
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.
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!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again 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, $20/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 Summer loves going to Blue Barn! She gets to play to her hearts content, and I always pick her up happy and exhausted. I also appreciate seeing photos/videos of the dogs on social media!
Wonderful assessment day for my great big anxious 6yo male Labrador Retriever. He came home wearing a big grin, bolted down a quick supper and fell asleep still grinning. He slept the next 13 hours with only 2 quick breaks when I made him go relieve himself! We can’t wait to come back!
I have used Blue Barn 3 times now for doggy daycare and have been extremely pleased each time. Kalem provided "valet" service yesterday, meeting me at the car with my dog during drop-off because he knew I was running across the mountain to a meeting and at pick-up, following a long day! This added touch meant so much! After a full day of playing with the other dogs and playing fetch with the staff, my pup comes home exhausted! We are set to board overnight in a couple of weeks - we are so grateful to have this new option available in our area! I would highly recommend Blue Barn!
Our dogs loved their stay Blue Barn. Everyone there is so friendly and really cares about each pup. The facilities are wonderful and secure. Artemis and Fable will be spending a lot of time playing with all their new friends at Blue Barn!
My dog is obsessed with Blue Barn, she can’t get out of the car fast enough to go say hi to all her new friends. She comes home so happy and tired, definitely worth your money. The people are also great, they quickly learn the personality of the dogs, I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog for a day or longer.
How do you begin to put into words what is simply the nicest addition to animal lovers and pet parents in the Staunton area! Blue Barn owners Holly and Kalem provide such a loving and safe environment for our 4-legged companions. Thank you Blue Barn Team! You have become like family!
Great people. Love the open range boarding.
A fantastic place to leave your animal. My dog is well cared for, loves Jason and is always happy to see him. We are very particular about leaving our sweet girl and never worry about her while we are away. Miss her terribly but never worry about her care! 😋 …
I really like this kennel! It's very difficult to leave my pup with anyone but Jason is really caring and thorough about special diets or shot records. The kennel is clean and well maintained. It's the only place I'll board my four-legged furry.
Boarded my cats here. The website is misleading for cat boarding. It says separate facility, which in my mind meant a separate building. The online picture of the cat room is NOT their facility. There are 4 large dog crates in a small storage room right outside of the dog room. Wish I could post a picture on here to show it.
Rainbow Springs Kennel is a fantastic boarding facility. Our dog was well cared for. The kennels are spotless and there is no odor (dog, cat, or chemicals). Jason is very kind, patient (our dog is a bit hyper) and answered all of my questions. Highly recommended
I recently had my first experience boarding my furbaby, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed with the care and attention provided by Jason at Rainbow Springs. From the moment I dropped off my little Bela, knew she was in good hands. The facility is super clean and there was no "kennel odor" at all. Jason is friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly loves animals. He took the time to listen to my concerns and make sure that all of Bela's needs were met. When I picked up Bela, she was happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I would highly recommend Rainbow Springs to anyone in need of a safe, clean, and comfortable place for their furbaby. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
Jason is great! I have taken my dog here many times now when I go out of town. She always goes right up to him and barely gives me a second glance when I’m leaving. It’s this reason alone that I fully trust leaving my dog here. Highly recommend!
Breathtaking views surrounding the property, very clean facility and excellent quality care was provided for our dog while we were away. Jason was friendly and communicated with us throughout the whole process. Our dog got a bath there and came home happy, fresh and clean. Highly recommend!
5 stars all around! First off, I was very impressed with how clean the kennels were. Prior to leaving my pup, I visited Rainbow Springs. The area where the dogs stayed didn’t smell one tiny bit! Jason is extremely helpful with all questions I had and my dogs needs. Colt doesn’t get along with all other dogs so I was very happy this facility didn’t let the dogs just mingle together. I was in Europe and emailed once just to check in. Jason was prompt with his response and very reassuring that Colt was doing fine! This is the first time I have boarded Colt and will easily send him back, he was well taken care of and I couldn’t be happier!
Rainbow Springs had last minute availability for Memorial Day Weekend (I called several places) AND online booking. Prices were a bargain as well. Kennels were clean and safe. Pup came back happy! We will board here again.
This is a fantastic place to take your dog for boarding. Arguably the best place in Augusta County. The prices are reasonable, the owner is very nice and obviously cares about the animals he boards. The location is absolutely beautiful and made me feel like my dog also got a dogs version of a vacation while we were at the beach. The online bookings are easy and super convenient. I love that you can add other services like 1 on 1 dog walks and baths. I really felt like my dog was genuinely cared for here and she came back looking and smelling exactly as she did when we dropped her off (we did not purchase a bath). Highly recommend!
