Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
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!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
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.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
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!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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 $25 per visit, 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!
If you're looking for a place for your pup to have a great time with other dogs, Barkendale is the spot! Holly and her team have done an amazing job making a secure and safe play environment for dogs to spend time outside sniffing and playing as much as they'd like! In the summer, they always make sure the dogs have enough shade and water. In the winter, they've got a heated space for dogs to dry off and warm up. They've truly treated our dog, Daisy, like family and she's so excited to go back every time. Daisy comes home with a HUGE smile on her face and immediately curls up on her bed after a big day of romping around with pals at Barkendale. We (including Daisy) highly highly recommend Barkendale!
This is our dog’s favourite place! She can’t get out of the car fast enough to join her pals. Holly & team have made a Disneyland for dogs in Squamish. The best staff, amazing dog pals and lots of space to explore and have fun. Holly has always gone above and beyond to accommodate our needs. It brings us joy to see how much fun our dog has when we are at work. She also loves the cuddles and warm fire in the winter time.
We have been using Barkdendale since they opened, and I can’t recommend them enough! Holly runs a great operation, and we never have to worry about our cheeky golden retriever Frango when we drop him off. He’s our little prince and we wanted to make sure we left him in safe hands, and Holly and team are exactly what we had wished for with doggy day care in Squamish. She has a completely secure setup, and constant supervision of the dogs. They all play and get along great and not only is Frango incredibly excited to get to doggy daycare (if I do much as say “Holly” he waits by the front door until I take him!) he comes home and is super satisfied and enjoys a nice afternoon nap! We take Frango 3x a week and are Barkdendale regulars. The people, facility and setup are absolutely ideal and a real asset to the doggo lovers of Squamish. If you’re looking for someone to look after the doggo member of your family go and meet Holly and see their setup, you won’t be disappointed!
Barkendale is a dream come true! We have a dog who has quite a bit of separation anxiety and has a hard time hanging out by herself at home. She absolutely loves Barkendale and looks forward to going and seeing her friends every week. The staff are super friendly and attentive. The owner is quick to respond to any questions or concerns and is very accommodating. We would highly recommend this place to any dog owner!
The most wonderful daycare for my pup. Holly and team are the BEST!
Always a fun place for my dog.
Holly is fantastic and the dogs LOVE going there
Thank you Kim! We are so happy that Bowen has joined Barkendale and we are looking forward to his next visit!
Annie let the dogs out and her dog walkers have been a great help for our family. Our 2 dogs have walked on hikes weekly for 2 year now. They absolutely love their walks. Annie was also very accommodating when one of our older dogs needed to switch to a slower group as she was getting older. Also we felt very comfortable leaving our pups under their boarding care while we go on vacation. Very professional and convenient and truly a great service. Highly recommended.
We've been using Annie for the past 2 years for dog hikes for our energetic dog and can't speak highly enough about our experience. Our pup is always excited to see the van pull up and greets Annie and her team as if they are family. He comes home well-exercised and happy. We particularly enjoy coming home to see the 'report card' and finding out which trails they were on and which dogs he was playing with that day.
We love Annie! Our rescue dog Vesica has built a great relationship with her walkers and she literally loses the plot when they arrive at the door. The hikes have helped her to integrate with other dogs and people (which we have noticed when we take her out now with other dogs) and she comes home happy and tired out. We will be sticking with Annie and her walkers / hikers and we love her professionalism around insurance and other important safety features that she offers to her clients. 5 Stars!
Our dog has been going out for hikes and receiving boarding services from Annie and her crew since he was a puppy. As soon as he sees Annie's van pull up he's out the door and doesn't look back, he can't wait to get on with the day's adventures. He always comes back tired, which is no easy feat considering his high energy level. Also, it's fun to see what him and the other dogs have been up to from the Facebook posts. We feel very fortunate to have found a dog care service that is so caring and reliable.
We use Annie and her team to take our dog for hikes when we have the odd longer day in the office or on the ski hill. They regularly pick him up when we are not home, and they are always completely reliable and accommodating. On the odd occasion when I have been home to witness the pick-up, our dog has been completely excited to go with whomever is walking him that day I love the special touches of a note about when and where he hiked and who he played with during the day, and photos from the day on Annie's Facebook page. A surprising side-effect of these hikes is that his behavior around other dogs has improved leaps and bounds. I am so grateful to have found someone that I trust so much with our loved one. Thank you Annie & team!
I have been using Annie Let the Dogs Out and her team for a couple of years now. I know Kili is always in good hands and I never have to worry about him. Annie and team are very service orientated and reliable and they have never once let me down. I also appreciate how flexible Annie is, as I sometimes have to cancel or add walks and she is always accommodating. Kili always comes home tired and happy after his hikes and it is fun to read the notes left behind to see who he hiked with that day, what time he was picked up and dropped off, where they went and what he treats had. Annie & team provide a great service, are dedicated to the dogs in their care and I highly recommend them. Two thumbs up from me!!!
Annie and her wonderful team of dog walkers are so wonderful to have in Squamish. My dog is a 13 years old Cockapoo. He is keen to go with them for the dog hikes when they arrive to pick him up. He is picky about how who goes with so this says a lot about how happy he is. Thank you Annie for creating and delivering a wonderful service for our 4 legged friends. Teddy and I are very grateful
Annie Let the Dogs Out- friendly, knowledgeable and reliable staff members! Annie will cater to your dogs needs: if it is hiking, boarding or leash walks. We have used all 3 options with our two dogs Stella and Desert; and we are very happy customers. We would highly recommend Annie!
Annie is amazing. We had an important family gathering to attend to on the other side of the world and Annie took in our 5 month old mini Dachshund, Lil Lenny!. One of the hardest things for us to do was leave our cutie lil puppy that means the world to us for a whole 4 weeks. Annie made it easy as he was taken care of like it was their own puppy, giving him lots of love, exercise, cuddles and really get him socialized with other dogs. Annie is also on facebook and puts up photos daily of all the dogs, which made it exciting to wake up to each day. We certainly recommend Annie Let the Dogs Out for the best dog care in the sea to sky region. Thank you so much Megan and Dennis..ox
Alfie LOVES going out with Annie's team for hikes. He comes home oh so happy and ready for a long nap! It's great getting little notes after his walks, to hear how things went. He get's super excited when he hears the van roll into the driveway :)
