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!
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!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
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.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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!
10/10 experience! My husband and I sent our Siberian Husky Captain to All Paws during our most recent trip to Ocean City! Captain had an absolute blast!!! She was so excited every morning and was exhausted every night! The one day camp we send her in NY is indoors so this was great that Captain could be outside or inside! She was able to play in the pool during the day and had so much fun! The staff was so welcoming and you can tell how much they care about your dog. They welcomed Captain every morning, took her for a walk the first day to show her around, and showed her lots of love. We will be back to Ocean City again this summer and plan on sending her every time! Thank you Matt, Caleb, Angie, and Kate!!
We called All Paws at the last minute, to board our dogs locally while we took a quick trip to the beach. They happily squeezed us in, and allowed us to take the dogs out one day as well. They also sent pictures each day without me even asking for them! My dogs had their own room with beds instead of crates, and got to socialize all day with the other dogs there. All around a great experience and very reasonable prices!!
Well so glad I found this place close to my mom's house! My girl had the best time there! The staff was very good with her made her feel very comfortable. My dog is always been afraid of other dogs. They started her out by herself, and then put her in with the older dogs. When I drove by I saw her in the window having a good time. By the time I picked her up she was with the big dogs having the time of her life! I couldn't have been happier! Definitely recommend!!!
Our lab had a great time here. He is an active boy and loved playing in the water. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was great to find a place to leave our dog while we’re at the beach when needed.
Just picked up my two pups and it is obvious the new owner lacks any professional training or handling of dogs. When we arrived to pick up the pups, she advised that she caught our females paw in the door and ripped her nail. She was very nonchalant about it and was not concerned. When she brought the dogs out she was trying to train them to remain calm before she let them out of the gate. They were excited to see us so not sure what that was all about. Our dogs don't need trained, they need a loving place to stay where we are confident they are getting the best care possible from a professional. How can you have confidence when the owner herself injured my dog? Totally unacceptable. When we left, it was obvious they were dehydrated and we had to stop and get them several bowls of water. The prior owner and management were awesome and we never had any issues in the last two years. This was our first visit this year and we won't be back.
Our dog has done two separate overnight stays at All Paws and we have been extremely happy with them! The staff truly care about the animals and the facility is clean and welcoming. They were very transparent in asking if we would like a tour before his first stay. Our dog was happy when dropped off and just as happy during pick up, continuing to play with the other dogs and staff - showing us his new friends. We will be using them in the future without a doubt.
We are new to the area and I was desperate to find a doggy daycare for my baby. He has one at home that he loves and I was nervous about taking him to a new place. All Paws was a win. He gets so excited about going, he’s definitely all played out at pick up and the set up there is perfect with them him having freedom to come and go as he wants.
Caring providers and a great arrangement for dogs to play or to find their own spot( little beds). There are also little doggie doors to go in and out to the outdoor covered area. My dog loves to sit on the window sill and look out the window. She is very happy coming here and I am always confident that she is getting the best care.
We had a bad experience at the Dogtel Hotel and came here instead. It was fantastic! Our little dog had never been in a kennel before and had a great week of overnight boarding while we vacationed in OC. Rose and her staff took such great care of him. He went out every 2 hours (they even kept a log of his "business") and socialized him with other small dogs. He had his own little area separated by baby gates in a very clean, air-conditioned room with windows on 2 sides and lots of light. The room had several toddler beds for the small dogs to lounge/sleep on. It seemed more like our home than a kennel. We came to visit him every day and he was always happy. All of the staff that we spoke to clearly cared about the animals as their own. We were also very impressed that they locked the door every time they went out for walks and came back. We couldn't be more enthusiastic about recommending this place, especially for small dogs!
My dog loves going to All Paws daycare! I posted pics of her (not sure if they are showing up) but the first one is of her in her car seat on the way to daycare, all perky, and the next one is of her in her car seat sleeping so soundly she can't hold her head up from playing all day!!! She has so much fun there while I am at work. They walk her every two hours, feed her lunch, she has lots of play time, and then quiet time. We love it there!!
My experience with South Paw and Denise has always been 5 stars. They work with me for drop off and pick up times sometimes pushing the envelope to beyond normal hours. They take excellent care of my fur babies even when an injury is involved. Or should I say especially when extra care is needed. Thank you, Denise and all of South Paw!
We were first timers and had never left our dog (Teddy) at a kennel before. When I walked in I knew that we would be in great hands. The kennel is unbelievably clean and immaculate! The owner was very knowledgeable, organized, and patient with us. She made me feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby while we went on vacation. We were so impressed with our experience and I can tell our dog had a wonderful stay. I would highly recommend South Paw
Could not be happier with South Paw Pet Resort. Warm, friendly and super clean. My dog has some nervous tendencies and was excited when he arrived on his second visit. That tail wag confirmed his comfort as well as mine. Denise and staff are very accommodating to specific needs. Thank you for amazing service for everyone's fur babies.
As owners in Ocean City we were looking for a place to take care of our 2 YO yellow lab Lily. Since South Paw is only a half hour away we gave them a try. The minute we walked in we knew Lily would be fine. The place is spotless and the staff is very friendly and caring. They didn't hesitate to show us all around. We liked the big grassy play area. You can trust Denise and her crew to take great care of your baby. Denise was even kind enough to text me these photos and word her messages as if they came from Lily!
I discovered South Paw Pet Resort recently while I had the pleasure of training an adorable dog for one of my customers. While doing so, I had the opportunity to visit this facility several times. The resort is not only beautiful, clean, and relaxing, but it also has an incredibly caring and trustworthy staff. I never had to worry about the dog's wellbeing while I was away because the staff took such great care of him. Every time I picked up my furry friend, he was healthy and happy, which made me very glad. Denise, the resort's owner, was very accommodating and let us use a beautiful, clean, grassy fenced area with plenty of room for running, training, and playing with my furry friend's dog Rico. It's clear that Denise and her staff genuinely love the animals they care for. If you're looking for a reliable and welcoming place to care for your precious pet, look no further! You'll love this place, and your furry friend will too!
We have taken our dog here for the last four years. Denise is always wonderful. She is friendly, caring and so incredibly attentive to all the needs our dog has. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does. Our dog, Tiger, is always so excited to be there with them. We will ALWAYS bring all of our dogs here when staying on the eastern shore.
Took my dogs here during my beach vacation in ocean city. The place is very well kept and the owner Denise was so kind and even sent pictures of my boys during the week. I had never boarded them before but I felt good knowing they were in great hands after I left. When I picked them up they were so excited and happy at the end of the week. Great experience & would recommend to anyone!
I love this place and my fur babies had a wonderful time there. I have 3 and was able to visit with them during their stay. They all got to stay together. It was comfortable and spacious for all 3 in their area. They got to run and play in a secured area in the backyard. The place is in a nice area close to Ocean City and other surrounding areas. Its neat, clean and prices are reasonable. The owner, Denise is kind, polite and attentive. She responds quickly to messages and communicates extremely well. I'm glad I chose this beautiful place for my fur babies and look forward to more stays in the near future.
I highly recommend South Paw Pet Resort! Beautiful and clean facility. This was the first time Jake was boarded. Denise would send us pictures of Jake playing with his new friend. She would also text me on how he was doing to help ease our mind. Jake had a wonderful stay. We will definitely go there again! Denise and Heather are the BEST!!!
It has been about a year or so of using South Paw Pet Resort to watch our doggy. She has stayed for as short as a single night, and as long as a few days. They are so friendly, and I never once felt uncomfortable with leaving our girl in their hands.
Amanda watched our 3 pups for a month. It was so hard for us to leave them for such a long time but she made it a lot easier. She communicated with us daily and sent photos of them playing and cuddling together. It really assured us that they were good and doing ok while we were gone. If we ever need a pet sitter in the future she will be our first call. Thank you for taking good care of our babies!
We have two chocolate labs and a frisky husky. Amanda does a great job with all three, she can handle taking them out for walks and giving meds (if need be). Sends pics too!
My pup made some friends while visiting ocmd, and definitely missed them after we left for home. Thank you again, Amanda! We will be coming back to you whenever we are in town! 👍👍👍 …
There is not a better place to trust your dog to be. This small business owner puts her heart and soul in taking care of animals as if they were her own. 5 stars is not enough
