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.

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!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
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.
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
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.
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!
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!
Kathy and Ron are the most accommodating sitters you will ever find. At my request they arrived a few days early and also made it clear they would be willing to extend their stay as needed. While at first they were a little uneasy about giving pills to our cat Sparky, they soon got the hang of it and did an excellent job caring for both cats even though the cats have very different schedules and needs. Kathy was great about keeping in touch with us and we knew they would be just fine for the several days when we were out of communication range. I would gladly invite Ron and Kathy back anytime and highly recommend them to you for your next getaway!
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, $13/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!
I highly recommend Elizabeth with Perky Paws Pet Sitting. While we were on vacation our 13 year old lab's health deteriorated. Elizabeth kept us in constant contact as to what was going on the entire time. She even agreed to spend the night and stay with Chester until we would arrive home the next afternoon. I can't tell you how good it felt to know that someone was there with our "son" loving on him and taking care of him just as we would have. Perky Paws service has been a blessing to us.
Elizabeth and Cody completely exceeded expectations in caring for our two cats. We had never used pet sitting before because I honestly didn’t trust anyone. This year our one cat developed an issue where she needs to be on a special diet so I decided to look into options for pet sitting while we’re away to make sure she was eating... Perky Paws is a godsend. The weight that has been lifted off of our shoulders is immense. Both Elizabeth and Cody did amazing with our girls and we received updates twice daily with pictures. I honestly can’t say enough about them. You guys are such a blessing! If anyone is considering using pet sitting services please don’t hesitate to call on Perky Paws. Take it from an overprotective fur mamma... you won’t be disappointed! ❤️
I'm a long time client of Perky Paws Pet Sitting & Dog Walking and I simply can't say enough about Elizabeth & Cody and what a fantastic job they do for me whenever I need them. They're reliable beyond compare & they truly care about my pets as much as I do, making us feel like family at every turn. Listen up Chambersburg, if you're worried about who's going to care for your fur babies like you do; or if you need someone to care for your pets on a daily basis or a much awaited trip, look no further! Perky Paws has everything you need, and they're affordable too!!
Elizabeth and Cody consistently go above and beyond. I've had a few last minute requests and they were flexible and accommodating. They send thorough updates and plenty of pictures. I completely trust they treat my Penny as their own pet. They let me know what they do when with Penny and how the visit went. I have cats too and I don't pay for services for them, but they sometimes with play with the kitties too - they send pictures of them too. Also, they have brought in packages on the porch and any literature left behind. I don't believe anyone else would provide such outstanding services. I'm very happy with Perky Paws.
My wife and I highly recommend Perky Paws Pet Sitting. While we celebrated a momentous occasion away with family, Elizabeth checked on our three Shubunkin goldfish, fed them, and wrote us an e-mail two days in letting us know all was well with our fish and our home. We had peace of mind for our five nights away and came home to a sweet personalized note right by our fish tank. Our "friends", as we affectionately call them, required less adjustment than usual from our absence thanks to the attentiveness, care, and compassion from Perky Paws.
We have been having Elizabeth from Perky Paws check in on our babies for the last three years. Hannah and Rusty love her. They get excited when we tell them Elizabeth will be here to see you. Hannah has a seizure disorder and Elizabeth is great to make sure she gets her medicine. We wouldn't want anyone else taking care of our babies.
My husband and I recently moved to the area. We were very nervous because we have two very spoiled special needs rescue dogs. We read great things about Cody and Elizabeth and we are thrilled to say that they have exceeded our expectations. They go above and beyond not just for the dogs but doing things that affects us all.
5 stars is not a high enough rating. Elizabeth adores her job and it clearly shows in her work. I had to travel extensively for work (on the magnitude of multiple weeks straight), and not only did Elizabeth meet the expectations set in her contract, but wildly exceeded them. What drew me to her services were the professional layout of her websites across all media platforms, the cost competitiveness of her services (boarding my pup in a kennel would have, in my area, been as or more expensive), and the fact my dog could be in the comfort of his own home while I was away. The first consultation was professional and loaded with questions I would have not thought to answer without being prompted; it showed me how thorough she is and how seriously she takes this responsibility. Although the first consultation eased my nerves significantly I was so nervous leaving my dog for as long as a did, but after the first few days I knew he was in good hands... Elizabeth sent updates (not to mention pictures!) frequently throughout my visit. My dog is near impossible to get a good picture of because he's loaded with so much energy (until he's thoroughly played with, when he's exhausted and finally sits still haha), yet every picture I received (there were a lot! :) ) was of him happy and smiling for the camera. It showed Elizabeth didn't just come to feed/let him out/play a bit, it showed she gave him full attention her whole visit and, more importantly, showed the immense amount of love she gave to my dog also. The last point is the most important because that kind of service is priceless. It's also important to note that the house was in immaculate condition when I came home. Everything was exactly where I had left it (despite my dogs tendency to try rearranging ;) ), with a thoughtful note left on the table waiting for me. That in itself made coming home much less stressful than I had been anticipating. :) Elizabeth was also extremely accomodating with working with my neighbors (who normally watch my pup for short visits) and my family on his care. It's obvious that she always puts the care of her pets she watches first. In short, Perky Paws Pet Sitting deserves the highest of ratings.
Elizabeth and Cody do a fantastic job. I really appreciate them helping me out with short notice. They truly love pets and I don't know what I would do without them. Poco, Max, Charlie, Roxy, and Cooper are fans too!
Anyone else have trouble getting a response for a service request? Per the site requests are responded to within 48 hours, however I never receive any response. Not so much as a "No". I also make sure to check my spam so not sure what the issue is. My best friends of almost 20 years love and trust Perky Paws and have been using them for the past few years with their lab that passed and with their newest addition. So, this is not a slam just a curiosity as to what the issue could be.
Abby, Steph, and the staff at Golden Wood were so kind and sweet to my dog, and were very responsive and courteous to send me updates. It was his first overnight stay there and they made him feel loved and sent me lots of pictures of him happy at playtime. Grateful for the peace of mind while I was away, and thankful for a safe place where he got to play outside with other dogs and kind humans who made sure he was cared for. Highly recommend!
What an Amazing experience! They were so nice and considerate! We toured the facility before boarding! they stayed in contact with us during his stay! We knew Hershey was in good hands!
Excellent Doggie Daycare! My dog comes home well exercised & tired. He looks forward to his Wednesdays there. Highly recommend Golden Wood Tract Road.
My Murphy has had very positive experiences at Golden Wood. The staff has been incredibly helpful, and we know that our sweet pup is healthy, happy, and safe when he is in their care. We look forward to our continued relationship with Golden Wood.
Staff was helpful and friendly. Great communication. I appreciated the photo and update the first day my dogs were there. I would highly recommend.
Nelly girl loved boarding at Cozy Canine for (8) years. It was her second home. Her first experience at Golden Woods Tract Road in January was also positive. She socialized with her canine pals and engaged with the supportive staff and came home happy but sad to leave her new friends. Just like Cozy, Golden Woods treated her like their own and learned to give her time/space to get acquainted with staff and dogs. They were very good about providing me with updates while she was with them. I am so pleased that she can continue boarding with Golden Woods.
Our dog Gracie Lou loves her daycare days She arrives happy and comes home happy The girls who work there are extremely friendly
We stayed a week in our RV at a local Gettysburg RV park and wanted a day camp for our two Labradors. Cozy Canine was a great place for our dogs to play and become wore out by the end of the day while we explored the local area. Sharon is wonderful to work with and the facilities are very nice. We would highly recommend her for taking care of your furry friends.
We used Cozy Canine to board our girls Scarlett & Heidi for years and they were always well cared for and excited. After speaking to Denise we felt confident the girls would be well cared for, and they were. I highly recommend them!
Our pups LOVE going to Golden Wood 3 days a week for daycare. They get so excited when they arrive.The staff is extremely kind, welcoming, and caring. I know our pups are loved and cared for.
I can’t rate Casey’s services high enough! We needed an in home pet sitter service while we were out of town. Our cat was very well cared for, his litter box and water dishes were clean, and she took time to play with him and give him treats. I would absolutely request Casey to care for our pet again and highly recommend her!
Casey is wonderful. She did a meet and greet with our dog first, made sure she got along with other dogs. She was able to watch her for a day just one week later and was really flexible with timing. When we picked up our girl, we could tell she was happy and she was way less anxious than when she is in the crate all day. I definitely recommend Casey for your fur babies!
Casey takes awesome care of my two cats! They are both quite skittish, but Casey has won their trust. She's been super at keeping the house looked occupied when I'm away by bringing in the mail, changing lights on/off, whatever it takes. I recently had to have unexpected surgery and Casey agreed without hesitation to check on the cats with only 24 hours notice. Definitely the best pet sitter I've ever had!
Best place ever. Only place I'll take my dog. She treats them all so calmly and like they are her dogs. Mine loves it there. They can run in house,lay on sofas or go out in the large yard and play. I called and needed to come extra early, she was so nice about it. I give her name to everyone. All the dogs running around and whatever time you go ,the place is always clean and spotless.
Great services. My dog was treated like she was in her own home. It was a wonderful experience. After going to Casey’s we will never go anywhere else. Traditional kennels are a thing of the past for our four legged family member.
After reading all the information on their website regarding their boarding services I reached out to see about scheduling just to be told they don’t do boarding? On the website alone there is information not only on dog boarding services but cat and exotics too. Unfortunate.
This is a great place from Opening The Door Meeting The Sitter My Dog Charlie Was Very Happy And Wagging His Tail I Was Even Impressed On How The Business Staff Member Or Owner Was So Professional Im Definitely Going To Be Using This Organization Again Thank You 5 Stars All The Way P.S We Will Be Seeing You Again Real Soon
Casey is responsible, reliable, caring and excellent with our animals! I recommend her to everyone in the area
Casey was wonderful with our senior pup! Very accommodating and flexible! Would highly recommend!
I will give you one star just because when I came back from my trip I found dog pup in different places around the house. The money that you charge me wasn’t worth it
friendly service. we have a VERY friendly rottweiler who is 6, and when we request for them to give him a bath, they never do, and say something like 'oh, he tried to bite us' or 'we didn't have enough people'. and when we picked him up recently, he smelled so bad, as if he was rolling around in poop and mud.
Very friendly staff, able to see kennel facilities. Pricing was a bit confusing but I could’ve asked more questions-email breakdown would be helpful. With that pricing seems reasonable. Would take pets there again.
Wonderful place. A good location that allows for "nature walks" for your dog. Friendly, caring staff. We received text photos of our dogs every day, which made us very happy to see them during their stay. Our dogs were in good hands, and we plan on using them again.
Excellent kennel!! We have been going there with all our dogs over the years. Whether our dog requires special medication or food or special handling, we can always rely on the staff there to give them personal attention. It's so nice to know our dog is in good hands and well taken care of.
Our dogs always go to Pets Vacationland. We appreciate the owner and her attentiveness to our pets, and the prices for grooming services and boarding are great. After boarding with them for more than a year now, I can give a solid recommendation. I think you will be happy with the service.
We took our beloved lab there and it was a HORRIBLE experience. When we came tp pick her up, the desk person didn't know which dog was ours and when we asked if she'd gotten the daily walks (which we had requested and paid for), the staff member shrugged and said "I don't know." We found her stinking of urine and her bed was soaked, too. This was a dog that never had accidents. I was furious and felt horrible for our dog. If I could give nehative 5 stars, i would!.
This place is dirty. Smells of urine and had puddles of urine just outside the dog kennels. No drainage whatsoever when they just spray down the kennel. When I picked my dog up he was coughing and wheezing terribly (he spend 6 days there). I brought him to the vet today and he has kennel cough (and yes he has his vaccination). Unbelieveable! This place has great marketing but poor execution! Never take your dog here if you care about their health! There is a reason they have a lot of room when other kennels are booked solid. Disgusting!
I have used many other kennels from California to Maryland. Pet Vactionland is miles above the rest!! I had to board my dog for almost two months at P.V. while I was looking for a place to rent that accepted dogs. I am so glad I found P.V. They made me a client for life!! The place is always clean and the staff is super accommodating and dedicated!! The owners Karen and Scott are wonderful and absolutely care about animals!! The rates are super reasonable and I will never take any of my pets any where else!!!👍👍👍👍
We were nervous because our 10 yr old cat Bruce had never been to a kennel but they put us at ease with how caring they were about his needs and our concerns and even went out of way to accomadate our drop off and pick up time! Would gladly recommend to anyone!
I'm really not sure I've got my dog scheduled to stay there in about a week. But from my tour it seems like a nice place for her to stay. The staff there are very personable and care alot about the animals in their care. We will see.
