Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
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.
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
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 :)
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
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, $18/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 strongly recommend Sarah as she is friendly and attentive to our dog, Remy. He has been learning to stop jumping, pulling on leash, and his recall. We have seen such improvements in his behavior since starting to work with Sarah. She also sends updates of pictures and videos throughout the day. She really allowed my fiancé and I to work in peace while knowing our dog is well taken care of. Thank you!
Sarah went over a above the call of duty to make my older, anxiety ridden, dog comfortable. My dog has separation Anxiety so being alone for her is very stressful, not only for Lucy, but also for me. Sarah kept Lucy in her bedroom at bedtime, and even took her to an outdoor event so she would not be alone. I have picture of Lucy on a picnic blanket looking very happy. I new every minute I was away that my dog was being cared for as if I were doing the caring. Now really, who could ever ask for more than that? I will not hesitate to bring Lucy to Sarah's pet care again. Piece of mind is worth so much more than the money I paid Sarah to care for my beloved pet.
Sarah was awesome with our boys! They really seemed to like her & were tired when we picked them up (we were gone for 3 days). Will definitely board the dogs there again.
I brought my dog to Sarah this week when I was traveling in the area and needed to go to a place that didn't allow dogs -- I don't know anyone who works with her, I just trusted my gut and her credentials and reviews. I feel so lucky -- Sarah was fantastic in every way -- communicative and caring and flexible so smart with my dog. They went hiking and swimming and she even practiced his training while he was there. I would send my dog to Sarah every day if I lived nearby, and will actually make special trips in the future so he can be join her daycare program and board overnight. I cant wait to bring him back - and he clearly loved being with her. Such a rare find - send your dog to Sarah if you can!
Sarah is so good with the dogs! My dog was so anxious and even the vet was having a hard time. We went to a few other trainers but Sarah has really been able to get through to him and his anxiety is 100x better! great person, great dog sitter. Highly recommended
Sarah is an amazing young women. She is extremely good at what she does. Accommodating, understanding, loving, and a professional. Knowledgable about dogs in every aspect. I know when I take my dogs to her, they are well cared for, they have fun, they are getting everything and more from Sarah. She is worth the investment. Highly recommend!!
Highly recommend boarding with Sarah! Our dog came home happy, tired, and well cared for. Sarah sent videos and photos throughout the day of our dog hiking, swimming, and living his best life. We are thrilled to have found Sarah!
Our dog loves Sarah and has been with her since she was a puppy. Sarah has helped with her training and is always available to help problem-solve. Our dog is never happier than when she goes to Sarah's.
We looked for the right boarding situation for our dogs for years, and we're very lucky we found Sarah's service. The dogs get treated like family–no cages or kennels. Our dogs were so comfortable with her, that they are now going there for daycare as well. Instead of sitting around the house, they get to go hiking and swimming everyday they're with her. We couldn't be happier with this service. Highly recommend!
Sarah does an excellent job with Blake’s and Sylvia. I love when she takes videos of the dogs playing in daycare. Sarah is a wonderful person and I see that she loves the dogs and cares for them as if they’re her own.
We had to board our Aussie pup last-minute for the first night of our trip to Stowe, and Ally made her first kennel experience so smooth. We were worried to leave her but she LOVED Ally and even got to play with some doggy friends. We would definitely recommend her services to anyone and will bring Charlotte to visit again if we ever need to board her in the future!
Ally treats your dogs like they're her own. She is knowledgeable, friendly and offers a terrific setting for outdoor dog exercise and indoor calm. It's a good feeling knowing that my energetic black lab is in the best care with Ally.
Ally is the best. She updated me daily when we were gone for a week. I could reach out and she always answered. Our three dogs were very well taken care of and loved. I would highly recommend Ally!
My dogs are always happy to arrive at Ally's and tired when they get home. We use doggie daycare services and boarding and I feel very confident that they are very well taken care of and enjoying themselves while I can't be with them.
We don’t often post, but after our experience we’d love to see more families with furry little ones consider Ally so writing a little recommendation. We are not locals and she worked with us for full day care while the family enjoyed wintertime activities. We’ll definitely be ringing again when our travels take us near Hyde Park!
Ally's facility is clean neat and well taken care off. Every time she boards mine or other family members dogs we know they are in great hands. They don't even want to leave when we go to pick them up.
Ally makes your dog part of her pack. Long walks, socialization and TLC are part of daily care. Clear and quick communications. I highly recommend Ally’s Pet Service!
Ally is fantastic! She will love and care for your dog as if it they are her own! Premium care no matter the length of stay. My dog’s second home!
My dog is a rescue and has stranger anxiety. She does great with Ally and I always know she is being well cared for when I leave her there.
Amazing service, and such a great environment. I've moved a lot and tried a ton of services. Ally's pet sitting service is by far one of the best.
We can not speak highly enough of Emilie’s care of our pets. They all adore her and we know they get the best love and care while we are away! Emilie is incredibly conscientious and forms strong bonds will the animals in her care. She truly loves them as her own. She is wonderful at communicating with us while we are away and sends daily pictures and videos and updates. Emilie is truly a gem and we feel so fortunate to have her as part of our family. We always know our pets are in the best care when Emilie is with them. They can feel her love and care and respond so positively to her. Our dog, Josie loves her so much that when she comes over, she is beside herself with joy! Emilie has helped us on many occasions. From daily check- ins to staying in our home for up to 10 days and even watching our pets while our daughter had her wedding on our property. She is just that good. Our dogs, horses, donkeys and cats were content and happy with Emilie here during all the excitement of the wedding weekend. It gave us such peace of mind knowing all of our pets were well tended to and we could focus on the wedding festivities. Our lives and the lives of our pets are greatly improved with Emilie’s care. She goes above and beyond and we highly recommended her!
From the first meet & greet we had with Emilie, I knew our pets would be in great hands while we were away from home. She brings an amazing combination of passionate care, professional experience, and personal experience along with her when she comes to visit your pets. Our senior cat was in declining health when we left home for our last vacation and as much as it pained me to leave him, I knew that Emilie would be able to let us know if anything was happening with him that needed attention. As a veterinary professional myself, I hold a very high standard to my pets' care, and Emilie meets that standard and beyond. I would recommend her services to anyone I know. Bonus - she will probably take some very cute photos of your animals while you're away (if that's okay with you)!
I cannot recommend Emilie at Early Bird Pet Care enough. She took such good care of our sweet Rhody, even in the later days when Rhody had a harder time getting around (she was 17 when she passed). Emilie loved her like her own and I would most certainly recommend her for your furbaby's care a million times over.
I cannot say enough good things about Emilie! We have an anxious dog that is extremely shy around strangers and with her patience and kindness, she found her way into his heart. We trust her completely and highly recommend her for pet sitting and/or walking.
Emilie was highly recommended to us by our veterinarian. Her references were stellar! We went to Great Britian for a three week vacation in September. Emilie has an open energy with a kind heart. I can not recommend her enough! She sent unsolicited daily texts to me with photos of my babies! She was amazing! Very intuitive and thoughtful, and not afraid to ask all the questions! She maintained our property, home, plants and most of all our pets with ease, professionalism and love. We would use her services without question again! Happy to share details with anyone looking for a reference. It meant so much to us that our pets could stay right in their home, while we went away. She is well seasoned at her craft and a delight! When we came home this lovely picture and handmade notecard our table...she thought of everything!
For the past few years, we have used Early Bird Pet Care to take care of our five cats while we travel. Emilie is fantastic - she is so caring, knowledgeable, and reliable. Even with our complicated, geriatric kitties that have special needs, she is very attentive to providing them the care they require. And she checks in frequently to let us know what is going on, which gives us peace of mind while we're away. I love that I never have to worry about them when Emilie is in charge! And our cats adore her, too - I always know that when I return, the fur gang will be relaxed and happy.
Emilie is the perfect cat care giver. She spent time with them each day, even sent us pictures so we knew they were doing well. I highly recommend her to care for your pets and home.
As soon as Joel, 13 & Zoey, 7 met Emillie, I knew they were in good hands. With an overseas trip & 6 hour difference, it was a great comfort to get daily reports & photos! It was an added Blessing to have my 'kids' in their own home & not boarded. As a former petter sitter, I was very pleased & highly recommend Emillie.
I guess I can't say enough good things about Emilie. She has taken care of my kids (cats) many times. Some of my cats have special needs and require meds, specific foods and careful monitoring. Most times they can be a handful. But, Emilie was always very accurate with their meds and careful with all of their needs. While we were away she keep in constant touch with us, sent photos and even let us use Furbo to say hi to them. We never worried about them which helped us to enjoy our vacation. I would definitely recommend Emilie to anyone who loves their pets because we know what a responsible person she is and great lover of animals.
I often tell people about our incredible dog sitter, Emilie. I tell them how if I could personally create the perfect person to take care of our three dogs, I would create exactly her. Our three dogs have a variety of personality, a habit of taking off into the woods and a love for porcupines. We love them as our own children and Emilie is one of the *select* few people who we trust to look after them while we're away. She is the biggest animal lover I've ever met and I know she cares for them as if they are her own. In addition to that, it can feel strange having someone live in your house but it doesn't at all with Emilie. We trust her completely and feel such a sense of relief when we know our home and dogs are under her watch. I COULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE MORE THAN EMILIE.
I highly recommend Green Mountain Pet Professionals if you are looking for the best care for your pets while you are out of town. Martin took care of our 2 cats while we had to rush out of town for a funeral. He is kind, compassionate and capable. Our girls need a little extra attention and he took care of all their needs and then some! Daily pics and a full check list of all things requested. As a former pet care provider I was looking for someone who is responsible, compassionate and genuinely cares about animals. Martin is all of these and more. Thank you for taking the stress out of a stressful situation
Green Mountain Pet Professionals is the absolute best in pet and home care! Martin has been caring for my cats for the past six years and I cannot imagine that there is anyone who is better at their business. Always reliable, trustworthy and wonderful. In addition to providing updates (and photos!) after each visit, my mail and packages are brought inside, my plants are watered and I have complete peace of mind knowing that everything at home is being well taken care of. Don’t believe any reviews less than 5 stars! I’d give them 100 stars!
We have used Green Mtn Pet Professionals for over 13 years. They have always been very professional and easy to work with. We make a lot of small trips during the year and can always count on Martin to take good care of our cats, hamster and house while we are gone. Mail and packages are waiting for us inside, gardens and plants are watered, we get weather updates, and the house is checked for any potential homeowner issues or sick pets. Everything is reported back to us with a daily check in from Martin when he leaves. And the daily updates include great pictures of the pets. Their app makes online booking and payment very easy. I always feel that my pets and home are in very capable hands when we are away, and I would highly recommend their services to everyone. - Erin
I cannot express enough how amazing Green Mountain Pet Professionals are. Andy is our sitter. He is one of the most reliable, caring and genuine people I've ever known. Finding Green Mountain Pet Professional, and Andy, has been a godsend.
I'm incredibly grateful for Andy. My dog (Gabby) loves him! He's very responsive to my requests for help, and even my last-minute requests are usually met. Could not recommend more highly!
I cannot say enough positive things about Andy! He has helped us out in a pinch more times than I can count. Our rescue dog,Zara, is very timid and normally takes a while to warm up to new people, but with Andy, it was love at first sight. She absolutely adores him. It gives us peace of mind on work days knowing that she is in good hands.
These guys are the best! When I am out of town, I am totally comforted by the fact that they are the ones taking care of my Teddy Bear. Teddy Bear LOVES them and is always super excited to see them. Andy sometimes sends me pictures of Bear when I'm away. Totally reliable and awesome service!
Samantha at Green Mountain Pet Nanny did an amazing job! We have two dogs - an irish setter and a lab along with a cat and went away for the weekend. All the animals were happy and I could not be more pleased with her dedication and professionalism. Thank you Samantha!
We've been using GMPP's services for about a year now and we love them. Having Martin taking care of our cats while we are out of town gives us so much peace of mind. I can't reccomend them highly enough.
Martin and Andy are nothing short of amazing! Greta always enjoys her weekends spent with them.
