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!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
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 :)
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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 :)
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!
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 $30 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!
Tracy cares for our little bunny, chickens, and cat while we're away and does such a fantastic job, they all love her. It's nice to know our little furbabies are in good hands when we're not there. She even sends us little videos of them while we're away which is such a lovely touch. ❤️ highly recommended by us.
I’ve used Tracy’s services a few times for my elderly dog. She followed all my instructions without any issues and made him happy and kept him company while I was away. Highly recommended and will use her again
Tracy does a fabulous job of looking after my animals when I am away, we have had her come to our house 4 times and very impressed with her care and contact while we are away.
Very reliable and amazing service. Looked after all my 3 dogs and a cat while we went away for a week. Thank you Tracy ❤️
Tracy has helped us more than once now. She looked after our cats and chooks for over a month while we were away for a VERY reasonable price. Then I called on Good Friday looking for a last minute Easter sitter (for the cats, chooks and dog) and she was more than helpful!! Came the very next day. So well priced, incredibly helpful, very professional and friendly. Will be using again and highly recommending!
Tracy was great. Very reliable. We left our animal family with her for 3 weeks and we will definitely be using her services again. we would highly recommend her.
Tracy is the best! Such a relief and piece of mind knowing our puppies are so well cared for when we go away. Highly recommend
Tracy is reliable and caring. Highly recommend.
I can recommend Southern Highlands Pet Sitting without hesitation. They have looked after all our animals for many years now. They are friendly, totally reliable and so kind and gentle with the pets. The pets don't have to go through the trauma of going into kennels. It is such a great service to have in the highlands.
Tracy is very reliable and our animals love her, we would not use anyone while we are away, we have complete trust in Tracy!
We can't recommend Paws and Whiskers enough! We have a nervous rescue who absolutely loves her home visits from Krystelle and we feel at ease and comforted to know that she is safe and happy. Our doggo has also been on some group adventures and had a ball! We love the messages after each service and the photos make our day! Chenelle is super friendly and extremely accommodating. We are very grateful to have the legends of Paws and Whiskers look after our doggie! :)
Absolutely love the service Paws and Whiskers provide. Communication wonderful, but most of all our pups are so happy to go and tired on return.x
Paws & Whiskers have been an amazing team in walking my almost collie dog, Usher, as I have mobility problems. He loves his walks and I appreciate the comprehensive report I receive with each walk, including photos, a map of the walked area and comments about his progress.
We can’t recommend Paws and Whiskers enough! Our nervous rescue loves her home visits from Krystelle and we feel at ease knowing our doggo is in kind, patient and warm hands with her. The update after the visit is the highlight of my day! Chenelle is lovely and professional and the online booking portal is easy and efficient. So grateful for the hard work and friendly service of Paws and Whiskers :)
Cannot recommend the team at Paws and Whiskers highly enough. Our fur baby feels so comfortable with the team when they come to visit or stay with him overnight. They take such good care of him, and our home - and we love the updates and photos to reassure us that all is well when we’re away.
I have been using paws and whiskers for two years. They are amazing. I love that I am able to easily book in a dog walk online. They send photos and leave a message after his walk so I know it went well. They make sure that they follow any requests I have made, like putting his rain coat on or giving him a treat after. They genuinely love animals, I wouldn't trust my little guy with anyone else.
Our golden retriever absolutely loves his Doggy Day Outs and we would have no hesitation in using other services by Paws n Whiskers. All staff are lovely and very caring. Highly recommend.
Chenelle and her team are absolutely amazing and so accommodating for your pets needs. We have a special needs doggo and a very sassy cat and the paws and whiskers team are so understanding and caring towards them both. They provide a wonderful service and I would highly recommend them for your pet sitting needs. They communicate so well and go above and beyond. Thank you so much!
Chenille and her team were very supportive and caring in helping us while a rescue dog adjusted to alone time and in keeping an eye on a senior dog having some neurological issues. We will gladly have them come again, the dogs were really happy with them (so was I)!
Paws and Whiskers have been a wonderful safety net for us. Their expertise with horses and willingness to go the distance has given given us great security. They've never let us down and the pictures they send show us they genuinely care for our precious herd as if it was their own. We can't imagine anyone not being happy with this exceptional service.
Another year and another wonderful stay for our dog at Dogue. This time he was still recovering from having a tick when we dropped him off. He was cared for so well at Dogue that he came home healthy, he’d regained his weight and he looked gorgeous. Thank you to the Dogue team for such fantastic care.
Harley was nervous to begin with but enjoyed his retreat at Dogue. We were reassured to hear his progress and see his photos each day. The Dogue hosts are so caring right down to the last morning's bath. While Harley missed us, he would enjoy a return visit sometime.
Bella always has a wonderful time at Dogue and the staff is so caring that I know even with Bella's recent surgery we had absolutely no concerns about leaving her there. She knows as soon as we near the gate that she is going to her "holiday estate" and commences jumping around the rear seat with such excitement.
Bailey our mini schnauzer has had many stays at Dogue. The level of care she receives from the team is wonderful, they treat her like she is one of their own pets. She always comes home happy. I love that you can follow there stay with photos/videos on social media. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dogue as a great holiday destination for your dog!!
Our moodle has been staying at DOGUE Country Retreat on and off for over a year now. The level of care, attention to detail, warmth and professionalism at the retreat are outstanding. We feel so assured that our little family member is in the best hands, meaning we don't need to worry about his wellbeing whilst at the retreat. I have no hesitation in recommending DOGUE Country Retreat to any dog owner who wants to ensure their pet is looked after to the highest standard.
Wicket had the time of his life enjoy minute there. And the staff are friendly and every puppy or dog looked happy to be there Thank you for making our wicket very handsome and he will be coming back 😊😊👍 …
My labradoodle, Harrison, has been a regular guest at Dogue for the past five years. He has an absolute ball every stay and we love having somewhere so wonderful for him to stay when we are away. The retreat is picturesque, and the team are the best. The transfer service from Bondi Junction is super convenient. I highly recommend Dogue if you are looking for the perfect place for your pup, with excellent care.
Dogue Retreat is fantastic! It’s the only other place my wife is willing to leave our fur child Chase overnight, other than at her mother’s house 🤣 Chase also loves Retreat - we drop him off at Dogue Bondi who take him down and bring him back. As soon as we arrive at Dogue Bondi he knows where he’s going and he’s off - no time for goodbyes just ‘see ya’!
Our Cavoodle puppy has had 2 stays at Dogue, once at 5 months old and more recently at 9 months old and she was very well looked after on both occasions. Staff go above and beyond to make the dog's stay a fun and happy one. It's great to know that she's in such good hands whenever we need to go away. Thank you!!
Dogue was absolutely amazing and our dog had a fabulous time. The staff were incredibly helpful as not only was our dog staying for a weekend, she was attending our wedding down the road. The Dogue staff coordinated getting Ruby ready for our special day and brought her down to the ceremony and waited until it was time for Ruby to return to the retreat. It was fantastic in that my husband and I did not have to worry at all about our fur baby on our wedding day and she was looked after like a princess for the weekend. It was great to also see updates whilst she was at the retreat on their Facebook page. Next time we visit the Southern Highlands, our dog will definitely be staying with Dogue!
Caylee was amazing - We had Caylee be our Pet Chaperone for our wedding in January and she truly was a blessing! We never once had to worry about our fur babies on our wedding day, which was amazing she picked up our 4 dogs from our house dressed them and then brought them to our venue. Caylee had them under control the WHOLE event and then returned them home. The photos and video Caylee does throughout the day are amazing "from a dog's perspective" it is truly unique and i cannot thank her enough for giving us these memories and making it so easy for us to have our fur babies included in our day. Cannot recommend S & N Pet services enough!
Caylee was absolutely phenomenal handling our dog Tex at our wedding. It was so special having our boy there at our wedding and Caylee made it so seamless and easy having him there. She also took the most beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever. If you have a dog and are wanting them at your wedding hire Caylee, she is the best!!!
We approached Caylee because of her Wedding Assistance option, and boy were we impressed! She looked after our 14 year old border collie, which helped take away any stress of having a family member or friend look after him so they could be present and enjoy our special day! Caylee's communication leading up to the day was brilliant! She took multiple photos and a video which was a bonus! It was so nice to see through Max's eyes on how our day went. I couldn't recommend Caylee enough, she's so kind and you know your best friend will be looked after by the best. I only wish that we could get married once more to do it all over again! Thank you Caylee! Sam & Adam x
Caylee saved the day for us! We didn't book someone to look after our puppy for our wedding until maybe a month before. Caylee went out of her way to help us, and make sure we had someone be with our puppy Lyla on the day. Caylee was very responsive, and made sure she understood our puppies needs before the wedding day. She also went out of her way to help my mother in law with her horses whilst looking after Lyla on the day. We are very thankful we hired Caylee and will not be able to put a price on having photos with our puppy on our wedding day.
Caylee was amazing providing wedding pet chaperone services for our dog. Communication was excellent and the video/ photos provided after were fantastic. She ensured our dog was ready dressed in his outfit and well looked after. Highly recommend!
We highly recommend Caylee for any wedding and pet sitting needs! Caylee was caring, thorough and was absolutely wonderful at our wedding! She made us super comfortable in the lead up to the day so we knew our boy Pino was in great hands. Pino loved being with Caylee. She knew how to make him listen and behave. He "smiled" for all of his photos, and he also got a lot of cuddles and love from Caylee which was super important to us! After our wedding, Caylee took Pino home took care of him and his dog friends Oscar & Sophie. She made sure they were fed, took photos of them and made sure that they were all happy pups. It was a joy to receive a video of our wedding from Pino's perspective afterwards. It was also great to receive pictures of Pino, Sophie and Oscar while Caylee took care of them at home! Thank you so much Caylee! It was such a pleasure to have you on our day. We highly recommend S & N Pet Services!!
Highly recommended for all your pet needs. Caylee is kind and caring to creatures great and small. As you can see in this photo, my dog is very satisfied with services provided.
Caylee did a wonderful day on our wedding looking after our fur baby, Ace. Her communication prior to the day was fantastic to make sure everything was organized To say she went over & beyond is an understatement. She took lots of photos & video of Ace during the day which all turned out fantastic. We are very grateful and cannot recommend Caylee enough
Caylee looked after our two furbabies as part of our wedding day. The communication beforehand was incredible and helped us to better understand how to include them in the ceremony. She showed a lot of love and care for both of our dogs, making us feel so confident that they were being looked after by the best. Thank you for helping our day run smoothly and making it so special!
Caylee was amazing with our fur babies! We really wanted our dogs to attend the wedding but we were nervous about how they would behave. Caylee eased all of our worries from our very first phone call. We knew immediately that we were in good hands and on the day, everything went perfectly! Our dogs were completely under her spell and behaving like we'd never seen before! One of our dogs is a beagle so that's saying something! Thank you so much Caylee. I truly believe we couldn't have done it without you and you helped make our wedding day perfect
