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!
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!
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
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!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
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!
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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, $40/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!
My dog has been going to the Zuri for boarding for about 5 years. I appreciate all the staff and how well they care for my dog. I always get her bathed before I pick her up and the groomers do a fantastic job. The groomers always give her a new bandana, man tie or a bow tie. I love that while I am on vacation enjoying myself, my dog is also hanging out with other dogs and enjoying herself. She always comes home tired. I also love that while I am away I can look at my dog enjoying herself on the Zuri live feed cameras. I also take advantage of the vaccination clinic that the Zuri has at their location once a month. I only have wonderful things to say about The Zuri. The report cards they send with her pictures always make me smile while I am away from home. I am able to relax and enjoy my family’s vacation knowing that our dog is being cared for fully. OMG and the holiday photos. I love and appreciate it all. Thank you Zuri! You are the best!
The entire Zuri Family is wonderful! Every time I drive up Calle Perfecto my dog gets excited. Every staff member is very loving and patient with my "ball of energy". I have complete peace of mind when he is there especially when he has an overnight stay.
Zuri (San Juan Capistrano) cared for our female Belgian Malinois for 4.5 days. We were impressed with several aspects of their approach and facilities: 1) A 'practice day' to evaluate her reaction to a typical day at the 'spa', 2) A comprehensive pre-stay questionnaire, 3) the ability to maintain her diet and eating times, 4) the option for interaction with other dogs (play-group) or personalized one-on-one care such as walks and agility training several times a day, 5) the ability to live-stream the play group during the day where we observed her interactions with other dogs and the pack-leadership displayed by the individual in the room (monitoring the dogs) and 6) a personalized 'report card' each evening that provided photo evidence and summarized her interactions, overall behavior and personality. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the care, facilities and additional care options available at Zuri. Highly recommended. Dr. S., Dana Point
I do like Zuri for my pups and that they have nice pet rooms. However I wasn’t advised beforehand that there would be a charge for putting eye drops for one of my pups. Also, I wasn’t able to access the web cam. Overall I think it’s a nicer boarding facility than most. I will be back.
Have been taking our pup here for daycare and boarding for the last year and a half. Sawyer and the staff are always kind and love our little furry pup. They take such good care of her and she definitely is always excited to go. Thank you for loving her!!
Love Zuri. Have trusted them with many dogs through the years and have never been disappointed.
My dog's first time getting groomed was wonderful. He looked very cute and happy upon pick up. Clean facilities, very kind groomer, and all the dogs seemed well taken care of!
We have been boarding our Labrador here for the past 4 years and it’s been a good experience. Staff is great to work with. Our pup gets lots of pets and attention. He loves the daycare enrichment program. Highly recommend it!
My two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have been going to Zuri Pet Spa for almost five years. They love going to Zuri for daycare, boarding and grooming. Everyone at Zuri takes great care of our fur babies and we are very grateful. I would highly recommend Zuri for anyone looking for a caring, loving and clean environment for your pet’s care.
Zuri takes such great care of our babies. They are so kind to them, and they always look wonderful.
Going on vacation can be a stressful ordeal when you know you can't take your little fur babies with you, or at least it is in our case. When my boyfriend and I went out of town for a long weekend trip for my birthday, we struggled with figuring out what to do with our two kitties while we were gone. We did not like the idea of boarding them somewhere, even for 4 days, because one of our little boys is quite shy and easily scared. We decided that a pet sitter would be the best option, especially after seeing the phenomenal reviews for OC Pet Companions on Yelp. Boy were we not disappointed! Marilyn was very professional, courteous, and kind when we met her to show her around the house and introduced her to our kitties. She took great care of our boys in our absence! She fed and played with them and sent us texts and photos of them to give us peace of mind that they were well cared for. And imagine our surprise at seeing photos of our shy little Hades out from under the bed and playing with her! We will DEFINITELY be using OC Pet Companions again the next time we go out of town, and we can't recommend them and Marilyn enough!
OC Pet Companions cared for my two dogs for about one year. Their services were timely and thorough. I would not hesitate to use their services again if the need were to arise.
