Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
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.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
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!
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!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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, $18/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!
Need a pet sitter? Wendy is more than that. She is a loving caregiver for our fur kids. Extremely conscientious, reliable, and really cares about our kids’ health and happiness. The photos show how happy they are with Wendy’s care.
Our dogs love when Wendy takes care of them! She gives them lots of love and attention and follows any special care instructions very carefully. She sends us cute pictures after every visit so we can see how they're doing. We highly recommend her as a pet sitter. The peace of mind Wendy gives us is priceless.
Wendy was hands down the best pet sitter we have used since having our two dogs. She is very thorough and you can see the passion in her work shine through immediately. She was very accommodating even though we only gave a weeks notice of needing her services. We would recommend her without reservation and will certainly use her again in the future!
This is completely unsolicited. Wendy has taken care of my girls for many years. She’s thorough and consistent. My Siberian Huskies love her. More importantly, I never worry when Wendy is in charge of my babies’ needs. Highly, highly recommend her. My neighbors use her services for their cats and they too are thrilled.
Hard to find an honest & reliable pet sitter in our area. Wendy watched our 3 dogs and sent pics & updates daily, while we were gone. Highly recommend her for any pet services in our area.
Wendy is excellent, and our go-to pet sitter. Our two cats enjoy her visits (including playtime!), and we love receiving her daily photos and updates while we are away. She is reliable, detail-oriented and truly cares for her clients and their furry kids :-). We highly recommend her services and can't thank her enough for always taking such great care of our cats.
Wendy is awesome and our 2 fur babies just love her! She is super reliable and trustworthy. Additionally, she provides fantastic updates and pictures of our babies every time she visits. Using her service, provides the peace of mind that our pups are in good hands and will be cared for properly. I highly recommend her!
Our 3 doggies love Wendy and are blessed to have her take care of us!! We highly recommend Wendy Collins Pet Sitting Service!!
I have used Wendy for a couple of times and feel comfortable when leaving my pets in her care. I would definitely recommend her!
Wendy is the best! When she lets our dogs out during the day, she gives each one of them love and attention. She is reliable and pays attention to every detail for each of our dogs. She is so thorough, organized, and professional! E love Wendy!
Michael is the absolute BEST! He clearly has a talent with dogs and cares very much about them. We sent TWO giant breed puppies to him for board and train. With 2 giant puppies and two toddlers in our house, (yes, we know we’re idiots) he saved our sanity! We get compliments all the time now about how well behaved our, now, 7 month old puppies are. And if we ever have an issue arise through their growth, Michael is very fast to respond and help us out. He is truly dedicated to the dogs he trains. He even helped eliminate a bad behavior we had with our 12 year old dog. Thanks to Enlightened K9 Perspective, we learned that old dogs CAN learn new tricks. We recommend him for any dog owners at ANY stage of life, 110%.
As owners of a miniature schnauzer with behavioral issues, we would highly recommend Michael and his dog training techniques. We went from an aggressive and barking dog to a well-behaved one. We are now able to take walks with Spencer, and it is more enjoyable to be in public with him. Michael is truly a master at what he does. Thanks Michael for a new dog!
I had the opportunity to work hands on with Michael and my husky Yuna. We specifically worked on control during walks which lead to off leash. Michael not only trained my dog but more importantly he trained me on how to interact and communicate with my dog. With the groundbreaking work he did that week and the recommended advise for returning home, my husky can now walk off leash amongst all kinds of distractions. (Kids, barking dogs, cats, squirrels, etc.)
Within just a few hours of Michael working with my two dogs on simple leash training, I noticed a huge difference. They were generally calmer, and even issues he had not yet addressed had improved greatly. My two dogs issues included; aggression towards other dogs, food aggression, barking at every little sound they heard, jumping on people, “mouthing” peoples hands and clothes as a “greeting,” and pulling when walked. I really appreciate the way he takes the time to explain things to the owner and answer questions with humor and kindness, he never makes you feel like there’s a stupid question, and has a lot of empathy for owners and dogs alike. My dogs bad behavior is practically gone, they are SO much calmer and better behaved. People who frequent our home (the gardener, friends, mailman, etc.) have already noticed a difference. “It’s so quiet here now!” I feel confident that Michael has given me the tools I need to continue their training on my own. I highly recommend Enlightened K9 Perspective.
I know I left a review several months ago, but this man deserves all of the 5 star ratings. He has gone out of his way to help my two shepherds, and guiding me. I’ve gotten both shepherds trained with Michael & I will say that it has done absolute wonders, if I could give 10 stars I would. I never thought I would be able to have both of my dogs out together in one space without nervousness and aggression. Michael truly cares about the well-being of dogs and making sure they are well trained. I can never thank him enough for his help! You’re awesome!
Michael is amazing.. he trained our husky for two weeks and changed our lives! We went from not being able to walk her at all (she would pull excessively) to being able to take her out with no lease and being able to walk her anywhere.
If your looking for someone to just train your dog , go somewhere else, once your dog or pup has been to enlighten K9 perspective it has become part of Michaels family , this man genuinely cares for these dogs well being and will go above and beyond to do what he can to help you and your dog. anytime of day or night he has been there to answer questions and even tell us what we are doing wright or wrong
As a dog trainer myself , Michael is the only other trainer that I truly trust with my pack. I had rescued a washout belgian malinois from the coast guard who had a bite history. My kennels were full and I felt it was best Michael assist me in acquiring my dog . Michael took him in for 2 weeks to work on some behaviors. I've watched him train , he is my friend and I'm honored to know him giving him a 5 star isnt enough. 10 stars he ROCKS and can save your dogs life and give you peace of mind and guide you on what to do .. Cheers my friend
We called Michael for help with our overly reactive miniature schnauzer, Porter. We were worried about his unpredictable nature and increasing aggressiveness towards people and other dogs. Michael took Porter for 2 weeks and Porter came back much calmer and happier. Michael took the time to train my husband and I an also helped out with our other two pups! I would not hesitate to recommend Michael - he's super knowledgable and will work with you and your pup until the issue is under control. Thank you!
Michael is amazing, he trained both of our golden retrievers, Savannah and Shelby, we cannot sing his praises enough! We call him the dog whisperer, he has a true gift with animals!
