Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
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.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
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!
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!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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!
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
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, $11/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!
We have a 3 year old miniature pinscher that generally goes with us whenever we travel. We never had a need to board her before last weekend, when we had a planning hiccup and needed to find somewhere for her ASAP! Luckily we found Three Oaks. The staff were super helpful and answered all my questions confidently and were a great help setting my mind at ease when trying to figure out if it was a good fit for my pup, and they didn't bat an eye at my last minute panic-booking. I was impressed by the extremely reasonable prices, and loved the optional add-ons like a bedtime story, or my favorite, updates via email with pictures (attached to this review) and a short message about how my girl was coping with her first stay away from us. All in all, it seems like Minnie had a great time, the staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and I feel super confident in my choice of Three Oaks. I would definitely bring her back!
The staff here is amazing! And both my dogs love it here. All I ever have to say is “want to go see Brittany (the manager) or Dani (the owner)” and craziness ensues. They are loving and caring. I never hesitate to bring my fur babies in for daycare
They groomed our two standard poodles and our senior Schnauzer mix and did a phenomenal job!
Not a customer- I called to inquire about grooming services as my current groomer is closing. After I gave the woman on the phone all of the pets info and was asked about my availability and preference of an appointment date I was told they would call me back. Which they did. Unfortunately, I was told the groomer felt they were "too old" for them to groom, but recommended I seek a veterinary groomer as they are no longer taking older pets. I found this odd as the dogs are older (13-15 years) but they are all in excellent health except one does have bad knees and it is hard for him to stand for more than 15 minutes at a time but they all are well-behaved during grooms and have been groomed regularly all of their lives. None the less I called a vet that had recently seen the pets and asked about the need for a veterinary groomer. I was told that they did not think that was necessary for any of them. Therefore unfortunately I can not leave a review on the quality of grooming but I would suggest that customers be told upfront and immediately that there are age restrictions for senior pets. Sadly this establishment is not friendly to the senior dog population. Fortunately the next two groomers I spoke with we're happy to have me come and view their establishment and answer all of my questions. I have to edit the original post since it will not let me reply. 1st I have a witness that can confirm I told the receptionist the dogs were 13-15 year's old. I never said any of them were 17. Also they could hear the receptionist tell me the dogs were "to old" for this establishment that you were not taking older pets. I'm sorry for the incorrect relay of information that you received from your receptionist. That's unfortunate.
Three Oaks is a wonderful, caring place to bring your furry family members. Dani, Seth and the entire staff are so wonderful with the dogs and cats in their care. I love that the play is structured and not just a free for all. Dogs are required to take breaks - so important. Lola loves seeing all her best friends at doggie daycare. We also love knowing she is given the best care when we board her. Highly recommend!
They don’t accept pets that aren’t housebroken and that’s understandable. It would take up their time having to clean. In the pamphlet they said that they would give you resources for finding a kennel that would accept your pets. Which I asked for when I emailed them, in total honesty…and crickets. We had been corresponding prior to this. I could have been dishonest just so my little guy could be accepted but I wasn’t. I tell you this generation lacks common courtesy and professionalism. Thankfully I found someone who has accepted my little guy. ☺️
Young lady that checked us in could not have been more helpful. There was a hiccup with our vet and their record keeping and the staff at Three Oaks not only helped us through that, but still made sure we were able to keep our appointment for our dog’s scheduled stay! We are looking forward to the email updates to show our kids while we are out of town!
Our Lab loves.... really LOVES going to Three Oaks! He makes friends and plays with those that are similar in size, getting appropriate levels of stimulus, training, love and treats. I highly recommend for your day-care or boarding needs.... oh, and don't forget grooming! Ranger gets his nails trimmed while at Three Oaks when needed and they are always done well!
All I can say is wow. These folks will take care of your fur babies like they are your own. Hands down the best place we have ever taken out dogs.
Very nice people and my dogs come home happy
