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.

We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
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.
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.
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
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!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
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.
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. ⭐
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, $19/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!
Looking for comfortable and calm but affordable grooming/boarding? Then call Josh and Emma! My pups had such a wonderful weekend at Woof Valley! I've never boarded my fur babies before as they are usually babysat by family because I never felt confident or comfortable with boarding before, but I'm 100% confident in boarding my babies with Josh and Emma! We got one of our pups nails clipped too, and they look great, I think I'm gonna book more spa services for both pups on their next visit! Thank you so much and I look forward to seeing y'all again! 🐶🐶
We have taken our dog, Willow, to Josh for her baths, grooming, boarding etc. since she was born. We live in Jonesborough, 5 minutes from his old location and we are willing to drive further to his brand new business in Elizabethton because they are JUST THAT GOOD!! We won’t trust anyone else with our girl! Just toured Woof Valley at Willow’s last visit and to say I was impressed is an understatement! So thrilled with this new place! Willow has everything she needs.
Our would revolves around our two Maltese babies . So making sure they are well cared for in our absence is very important to my wife and I. Emma has our absolute trust and she does an excellent job with our two little ones. We have never once been disappointed not even a little bit. I feel they go out of their way to make sure we are happy. I would not consider going anywhere else.
I absolutely love this grooming facility for boarding and grooming. They treat the fur babies like their own. Extremely nice staff and very reasonably priced.
Emma did a great job with Ziggy, but most importantly she was warm, caring, and loving toward him. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her, and he was much less anxious and apprehensive than he has been with other groomers. We are very happy to have found Woof Valley!!
We’ve been looking for a new groomer after several bad experiences. A friend recommended Woof Valley and we love it! Our little Schnoodle finally looks great and we are happy with the experience. Highly recommend Woof Valley! Emma is a sweetheart and does excellent work!
Such a welcoming environment! We live in Bristol and have a goldendoodle named GiGi and I can tell you first hand that it’s well worth the 30+ minute drive for the amazing service and grooming. My dog has always been skiddish going to the groomer, but as soon as she sees Emma she calms down! So grateful! I also love seeing all the help they do with the animal shelter. ♥️
Joshua and Emma are the best! If you want your pup to be well taken care of, they have to go here!! Joshua has always made sure my pup was well taken care of and has been nothing but kind. Emma is a sweetheart and does a fabulous job grooming and you couldn’t ask for a better team.
We were very impressed with Woof Valley! Our Doge's look great and had a good time there! We really like the owner and staff.
This is Chaco’s first time being professionally groomed! Miss Emma did a wonderful job taking care of our little furboy! The new facility is amazing!
Update**** They did it again! Ruger had a blast and our new baby Mable enjoyed it as well! Thank you again for your love and patience with our pups! ——————————————————————————— We had the best experience! This was our first time leaving our baby with someone while we left town and it couldn’t have gone smoother! The boys listened and understood we were worried. They even sat on the ground and let Ruger get comfortable with them and the building before taking him back. We looked forward to our daily report card on our Ruger boy. Thank you Happy Houndz for such a good experience! We know where we will be taking him next time! Well worth the cost (which is around the same as other places)
My girl Nesta LOVES coming here for her grooming days. As soon as we pull in she gets so excited when she recognizes the building and even more excited when she sees the staff. They take such great care of her when she’s there and do a fantastic job grooming her, and are always so nice and friendly. Highly recommend!!!
My dog pogi absolutely loves the place!! He has the best time! The girls and guys there are so respectful and nice!!
My daughter takes our Baby girl Jade there..Jade absolutely loves the staff! Very clean, professional staff. You can't beat the prices nor the kindness and love they show...I highly recommend this place! Ten outta ten in my book!
Gunner loves Happy Houndz! The staff is so kind and loving with our anxious dood! Gunner makes himself at home as soon as he gets through the door! Could not be more pleased with grooming and day care! He’s looking forward to a week of boarding!
The staff here are lovely!! You can tell they really enjoy working with animals, and treat them like their own! Very clean facility and prices are really good compared to other places. Definitely recommend them!
This was my first time boarding at any location other than my own vet. Madison has been fantastic and so pleasant to work with from the start. When arriving to the facility it is very clean. The customer service is fantastic. They will answer any question that you have. In addition, go over any details thoroughly. I've already got my second booking with them this Friday. They are $30 per night which is more than my vet but I think it is worth it. My pup has anxiety but she was handled with care.
I love the staff at this facility, brought my dogs and they absolutely loved it and immediately was at home, and the staff took them in with care and were excited to meet my puppers, thank you! And kudos 👏 …
Staff were very sweet and professional. Do amazing work and very affordable. Highly highly recommend!!!!
They take so good care of my dog I love taking him to happy houndz
They are really good people and wonderful with my fur babies! Any time we go out of town and need to board or need a nail trim we go see the sweet ladies at the Silver Clipper! My dog loves them too and they are so good with her and treat all of the animals like family. Also super affordable! Love this place! ♥️🐶 …
Kitty is absolutely wonderful with my dog, Trixie. Trixie loves to go there and she’s very well taken care of during her stay. I would recommend her to anyone wanting top quality care for their pet.
We were very happy with the silver clipper pet groomer,they were very happy efficient,& great with handling our two dogs,we will going back there,Thank you Silver Clipper pet Grooming,Job well done !
Amazing place! We do both the grooming and the boarding and are extremely happy with both.
They wouldn’t even see my dog because she’s a medium 7 month puppy who will eventually be a bigger dog in size. So if I could give a 0 star I would! She’s had her nails clipped before at the vet and they had no issues.
Out of town traveling with my Chi. Kitty trimmed his nails just right with lots of care and attention and even recommended an area vet to help with his car sickness. Much appreciated!
We have boarded our dog and cats for over a decade with Kitty. She is so loving and kind...our animals have always enjoyed their time with her. Our dog would eagerly jump out of the car and go to her so we knew he was well-treated. The boarding area is climate controlled for the comfort of the animals. She lives close by and checks on them often. You cannot make a better decision than to board your animals at the Silver Clipper with Kitty!
They're always so nice and take such great care of our dogs! We've been going to them for a few years now whenever we need boarding and they have always been wonderful!
Kitty, Ralph & Lisa have always treated our dogs as if they were their own. They truly care about each dog. Kitty “retired” as a Vet Tech to open this ever growing Grooming & Boarding Kennel. We have been clients for 15 yrs now. Wouldn’t take our babies anywhere else.
We have used Miss Kitty for about 5 years. We also board our 4 legged family members when we can't take them on vacation with us. Kitty and Ralph are wonderful, animal loving people. We will continue with them as long as they are open and we have dogs.
I’ll definitely be boarding my dog here moving forward. I love how all the dogs are separated and still have access to go outside whenever they’d like. My dog has awful separation anxiety and is super timid, but I can tell she enjoyed herself more here compared to boarding with her vet. It also gives me peace of mind that they have a fenced in area to run around and go potty as needed instead of someone walking her on a leash(she’s an escape artist) the owners are also super nice and gave me reassurance when dropping her off❤️
We have left our rescue love in their hands a few times and could not be happier. They are so kind and considerate. Our rescue is dog aggressive and must be kept separate and they did not look down on her or on us. She requires daily medication and they were so incredibly accommodating. They gave her extra loves and people time. We know she's safe there and cared for when we cannot take her with us.
They have an awesome setup for dogs. Your dog can be separated from other dogs if needed and still walk inside or outside through a doggy door. Each kennel slot has a lot of room. Very cool place
New to the area. Tried very hard through Rover to get a house sitter for our dogs, but they were insane with their prices and we had to go away. The reviews were high and now I get it. Sam and Regina have a kennel right on their property in the middle of the country. Our dogs had been through a lot mentally as my husband was involved in a very tragic accident and couldn't come home for 2 years so I was nervous. They were put in the same kennel which was wonderful. When I went to pick them up...not one dog barking. Not mine, nor the other ten in there. Happy doggies. I will not go anywhere else and highly recommend!
Always have an amazing experience and my dogs love it just as much as I do. Always very convenient and go out of their way to need my needs. Also love the personal touch they treat my dogs just like their own so I don't worry when I leave them because I know they are being pampered with love and affection. Wouldn't dream of taking my pups anywhere else.
We have boarded our Blue Heeler here for the last 8 years. More recently we boarded our Boston Terrier also. In all that time our dogs have received excellent, personalized care. When we pull up to the kennel the blu3 heeler gets very excited and can’t wait to get out and see the owners, Regina & Sam. Very reasonably priced compared to others in the area. We’re very happy with the Stewarts Country Club Kennel & highly recommend it.
My 3 German shepherds stayed here during Christmas. My first time ever leaving my babies. I was a wreck and so tore up. Regina and Stan took such good care of them for me. To comfort me about leaving them for a week they even texted me photos and videos which helped me worry a bit less. Their prices are fair and well worth every penny. Will definitely be using them again if need be. Thanks you Regina and Stan. ❤
We have kenneled our 5 dogs there twice. Great place. They are well cared for. The owners are very nice. They have great size kennels and even suites if you want to put your dogs together. Highly recommend
Can't believe this place has never been on my radar until just a few weeks ago! We are originally from Elizabethton, TN and had to make an emergency trip to visit an ailing family member. They were able to quickly reserve a spot for us on short notice and i emailed our vet records over. They accommodated a late drop off (7.30pm) upon our arrival and immediately made us feel welcomed and was very patient and kind to my jumpy, 85 lb (almost) 2 yr old GSD. Over the course of his four day stay, i texted ea day to ck in and received timely responses and when i asked for pics they sent me a few snap shots. He was in the same healthy shape when we picked him up as when we left off and i cld tell he honestly enjoyed the company of the gentleman who runs the place. I am a VERY picky dog owner, who treats her babies like children, so this is saying a lot. No, the place is not bougie but it is homey and safe, which is what i care about. Also the value is unbeatable. We paid $18 a day vs Jax, FL (where we currently live) and pay bare min of $46 a night at our boarding facility. We'll be back every single time we visit the area 😊
No one who cares for a pet should trust this kennel. We were in an unexpected pinch and were taken in by a few reviews. When we arrived, the place was an absolute mess. The pics shown must be very old. The man asked that we give him a call, and he would meet us at the kennel. Upon our arrival, he was sweeping the floor around the front door. Again, everything was filthy. He said that the good news was that he had no other boarders, and our golden retriever could have the yard--overgrown and full of apples fallen from a tree in various states of rotting. When we arrived, after making another call to the owner, he met us with Rocky. He returned the food we brought saying that he had not fed him yet. Upon our return home, Rocky went straight to his water, and drank and drank. We fed him, and he returned to drinking. Our belief was that the owner put Rocky in the yard without any type of caring on a hot day, and returned at the end of the day to meet us with Rocky. DON'T LEAVE YOUR PET HERE.
