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.

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!
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!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
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!
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.
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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, $16/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!
Just like home! We had never boarded our dogs prior to this year. We have used CCC twice in the last three months. Both with the prior owner and the new owners. They are excellent and attentive caregivers of our pack. For a fee they offer departure baths and nail trims so your pooch is returned smelling fresh. Book really early as they fill up.
We love Camp Critter Creek! My dog enjoys his time there and is always excited when we pull in. They are busy so book in advance, it took a while to get in but I'm so glad I kept calling and found a time that worked with our schedules!
We have been using Camp Critter Creek for 9 years and they never disappoint. Our pet is well cared for and actually enjoys visiting there. Patty and her staff are excellent!!
They are absolutely the best. Highly recommended. Will only trust our pets with them from now on. Great place. Our dog loves these guys. They care and it shows.
These folks were kind enough to take my German Shepherd in at no cost while my husband was hospitalized. Awesome place!! Highly recommended!!!
Wonderful people who do a fabulous job of taking care of my animals moochie loved it ❤️
I highly recommend Camp Critter Creek. The staff are all amazing! You can tell they really care about your animal and take the time necessary to make them as well as you feel comfortable.
Our three big dogs are always happy to go to Critter Creek. We feel that they receive great care at Critter Creek. I feel that the dogs are well cared for and a home away from home.
Staff cared for our cats as much as we do. You can’t ask for more than that.
I love this boarding kennel, and my dogs do too. They are very professional and care about their clients. A+
If there wasn’t a House of Hounds, I don’t know what we’d do daily so our babies didn’t have to be home alone. House of Hounds not only provides wonderful daily daycare, but it is so comforting to know the dogs are never kenneled when we board them. The staff is exceptional! They are very responsive, provide updates as needed, and I know they love all of their furry clients! We have been using House of Hounds since 2018 and highly recommend their services!
The House of Hounds is a wonderful option for day care for your dog. The Charleston location has an incredible staff who truly love dogs. My dog has been going to House of Hounds about once a week for the last few years. He is always excited for daycare day, and it is part of his regular routine that he looks forward to each week. I feel confident dropping him off at HoH because I know how much the staff there care for the dogs. I also use the grooming service at House of Hounds in Charleston, and they do an expert job in maintaining my dog’s high maintenance coat. I also love the convenience of having daycare and grooming in one place. I can drop my dog off for daycare and pick him up, freshly groomed, after work that same day. If you are looking for a caring environment to trust to take care of you dog during the day, you can’t find a better option in Charleston than House of Hounds. It is pawsitively great.
Great location and beautiful interior. I love the assortment of products they have available when I stop in - but of course the best part is knowing my dogs will have fun and be well cared for. We love and appreciate you House of Hounds!
It has been awhile since we have been to this location. Taking Beyla went seamless even though it has been awhile. We always enjoy finding Beyla on the TV in the waiting room once they take her back. We adore all the decorations there and how cozy they make the place. If you feel that way walking in then you know your dog feels just the same; just like home! .
Love this place!!! Our Jack Russell HATES getting his nails clipped. Finally gave up doing it ourselves and took him to House Of Hounds of Nitro and not only did it take like 5 minutes if that...he didn't even make a whimper! Customer for life now :)
House of Hounds is wonderful! My dog Blue loves it there!!
I absolutely love how the staff takes care of my boy, Cooper. I appreciate how if they see something off in his behavior or see something physically wrong. This is at both locations too.
My dogs love this place! The staff is top notch! I could not think of a better place to take them
I would never send my pets here the staff is rude and I have witnessed them miss treating dogs being bored there I watched one of the staff kick one of the dogs because she looked like she was in a bad mood but that is no excuse
Our golden doodle LOVES this plAce. I live there we can buy a chunk of hours and drop him off for the day or for an hour or two if we’re going downtown for something. They are wonderful with the dogs and the grooming was great also. We’ve just moved and I REALLY miss this place for our dog. Only thing I’d change is that I always wished they did boarding downtown and not just at the nitro location (or at least had a shuttle).
