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!
The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
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!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
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
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!
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!
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, $21/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!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 recommend. We discovered Eileen when our (previous) pet sitter bailed on us at the last minute about a year ago, but in hindsight, we are so glad that happened! Eileen has pet sat for us for the last year, and she is truly the BEST. She’s reliable, consistent, observant, and SO sweet with our babies. We have 2 cats with 2 very different personalities, and she’s great with BOTH of them, giving them each what they need while we’re gone, including extra attention for our high maintenance orange boy :). I feel so blessed to have her in our lives, and I can’t overstate how nice it feels to have true *peace of mind* when we leave home. Thank you Eileen!!! 🩷🩷
Eileen makes it so easy for me to feel confident about the kind of care my pets will receive while I’m away on long trips. They don’t get just basic care but love and attention. I get updates and pics so I can see how they are. It’s hard to be away from my four legged friends but Eileen makes it much easier because I know I have nothing to worry about. 😊
Eileen is a treasure and if you're sitting around reading dog walker reviews and weighing your options you should just drop it now and hire her. She's been walking my big, VERY enthusiastic amstaff, The Doobs, for a few months now and she's completely transformed his walk. This dog LOVES to walk, and can go for hours at a time. He's a dedicated puller with the muscle to back it up. When I first brought him home, I no joke had a dog walking helmet for a while, because more than once he pulled me right over. He's also very interested in people. He's a really friendly dog, but was such a handful to walk that we were really only going out reliably once a day, and he needs so much more exercise than that. Eileen has slowly mellowed out his walk to where he's a real joy to take out now. He gets so much more exercise now that it's easier to walk him, and he's a happier, healthier dog. Eileen has also been walking my 7 month old hound mix, Donny. Donny's challenges are at the opposite end of the spectrum. He's young and, like many pandemic puppies, his socialization was spotty. He's easily spooked and it can be hard to keep his focus on a walk. Here, again, Eileen's been a total game changer for him. Watching him bond with her and seeing the confidence boost he's getting from spending time with her has been totally awesome! Finally, Eileen just met for the first time with my other hound puppy, Walter. Walter's a very nervous little guy, and Eileen took the time to make an initial appt just to sit with us and let him come out of his shell with her. She's got a really quick, savvy grasp of doggo drives and body language, and it's a real pleasure interacting with her and each dog together. It's clear Eileen puts a ton of thought and effort into her relationships with her dog charges. She often brings a new trick or tool she picked up working with another dog and suggests it for one of mine, and the way she phrases her explanations always shows how appreciative she is of each dog's individual personality and needs. Bonus: Eileen's got a real gift for pet photography, and she sends beautiful pics and the occasional video while she's out walking my pups. I love reviewing those photos at the end of the work day and checking out the awesome adventures my doggos had. The attached photos are all shots Eileen sent me. Wrangling three doggos, two of whom are puppies, while working full time is a lot. Eileen provides all the extra love, exercise, and play these pups need to keep our household running smoothly enough to keep dogpocalypses from crashing my zoom meetings. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Our first experience with Sit Walk & Wag was fantastic! Eileen stayed with our Great Dane for a week and I couldn't have been happier with her service. She always made us feel comfortable while we were away. We are very impressed with the professionalism in which she runs her business and her high standards as a caretaker for our pet. We feel very fortunate to have been recommended to Eileen and highly recommend her.
Eileen at Sit Walk & Wag has been really wonderful to work with. She was extremely reliable, professional, and loves dogs. I have a high energy pup and Eileen's walks wore her out! After each walk I always looked forward to receiving pictures from their adventures!
From the minute I spoke to Eileen, I knew she was the right person to look after our very beloved but aloof cat, Dee Dee. Not only did Dee love her (I've never seen her warm up to someone so quickly) but Eileen really put her needs first. So much so, that she suggested shorter visits to accommodate her shy behaviour. Whatsmore, Eileen is great with humans too! 😁 Super responsive, communicative, and has a great sense of humour too. Would definitely recommend! 👍🏻
Eileen was recommended to me by our regular pet-sitter, who was unable to complete the pet coverage we needed. I trust and love our pet-sitter, so I knew she was recommending someone great - and she certainly did! Eileen is professional, kind, fantastic with animals, and reliable. I was so impressed with her services and her willingness to take on a few extra visits when our plans slightly changed during our trip. My husband and I came home to three happy fur family members and I we were able to enjoy our trip knowing that they were in great hands (nothing is more important than that). We will definitely use Sit Walk & Wag in the future and I highly recommend Eileen!
Great dog walker! She has been walking our 75lb pit mix three times a week for over a month!! We get daily photos. A GPS map of distance and where they walked! I really like these added features as it provides assurance our family pet is getting the best! Thanks so much And we do recommend Sit Walk & Wag !! Eugene Scott Owens
It can be hard to find a pet sitter who is great with pets and with their humans. Eileen is that, and then some! She is a natural "cat person" and excellent cat sitter - we feel truly at ease whenever we go away, knowing our cat is being taken care of just as well (or honestly even better) as when we are home. Friendly, responsible, great communicator -- everything you'd want in a pet sitter!
Eileen is wonderful! My dog loves her and she is very reliable and trustworthy. I come home to a happy exercised dog every time I elicit her services. Highly recommend and want to encourage to support. We are lucky to have people like this in our community.
Melanie has cared for my girls (pups) for the past 15 months. Whether I am away just for a day trip or a two week vacation, her care is consistently loving, kind and intuitive. She knows when my girls need extra loves & pets or just an extra blanket. She actually spends time with them playing and talking. She is very dependable and always pleasant. She has helped me out with last minute dilemmas , too! Melanie always goes the extra mile—- she brought my trash cans back from the curb today! She is also an excellent plant caretaker! I never worry about the girls or my home with Melanie!! She is the best the girls have ever had and they love her!
Melanie has been taking care of my two pups for nearly two years. I could not imagine having anyone else care for them. They trust her and love her so much. When she walks through the door she is met with great affection and much excitement from both pups. Each visit is detailed in a text message along with photos. I appreciate knowing how each visit went that day. Melanie is very intuitive and pays attention to every detail. I am happy to recommend her services to everyone who is lucky enough to be a fur baby owner!!!!
