Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

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.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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, $16/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 never write negative reviews. This might be the second or third I have ever written in my life, but I will not be sending my dogs here again. Our German Shepherd puppy, Daisy, is about 7 months old and has been to daycare here on a few occasions. Today, when my husband picked her up, he was told she was being aggressive to other dogs. Daisy has never been aggressive to other dogs or people ever before and has been to several daycares, has two dog brothers, and other dog friends. That being said, dogs are dogs. But my husband or I should have received a call when the daycare noticed a change in Daisy’s behavior. We should have been made aware immediately that something was wrong. They did not inform us of this until the end of the day. My dog was in what must have been an uncomfortable, upsetting situation as she was reacting aggressively. We would have never left her there all day if they had let us know what was going on with our baby girl. When my husband asked for specific details regarding the situation he was told “she was just being aggressive.” I would’ve liked more information. I am beyond disappointed with the lack of communication. But, unfortunately, that is not all. We were also informed that they put our dog in a crate after she displayed aggressive behaviors and tried to introduce other dogs to her outside of the crate. Anyone who knows anything about dog behavior should know that barriers are very capable of making aggressive situations worse. I am disappointed with how this situation was handled, and will not be a returning customer.
Misty is amazing, especially with big dogs! Their outdoor play yard is awesome and the dogs seem to have so much fun out there. Facility is clean and all the pups seem happy to be there. Friendly and caring, highly recommend.
So my Rottweilers like to visit here when they sneak out (cat opens the door) of my house & visit the neighbors. They have ended up here twice in 2 years. The people are very kind about it, and I appreciate them when I come looking for my babies blubbering with tears from fear of losing them.
Absolutely love Misty Fields Pet Resort. My Samoyed, Cosmo, is super social and needs the interaction he gets at Misty Fields. They treat all their animals like family, inside their spacious farm house or outside in the several varied pen areas. They monitor the dogs and make sure they are grouped together with like temperaments as well as give them people play time and rest time too. We go for a full day, once a week, and Cosmo is always excited to arrive and sleepy on his way home. Best part is that he is calmer all week long after having his social day away. I am thankful that Misty and Mike provide such an oasis for our doggos!
This is an awesome place to take your pooch! Our dog gets so excited every Tuesday, when it is time to go play with her friends, that we can barely contain her! Misty is wonderful with animals and her staff does a great job as well. There are really nice play areas and her furry guests are treated like family.
If I could give Misty Fields Pet Resort zero stars, I would. They lost my dog before she even got inside. I caught her two days later at a freeway rest area. She managed to cross the freeway without getting hit. My sister's dog was staying, too. When we dropped them off, Mike met us in the front yard. We offered to bring them inside, but he refused. There is a horse fence around most of the yard, which is nothing for my little dog. We hadn't gotten back home before Mike called to say she had gotten away and they needed my help catching her. By the time we got back, they had no idea where she was. When Mike had tried to take her in, she had been startled by another dog and slipped her collar. She hung around in the yard until Misty grabbed her, then she "screamed", Misty let go, and she ran. Misty never even talked to me. She stopped looking hours before the rest of us. Mike did drive around for quite a while the first day, but not as long as the family and friends that came to help. We searched for about 5 hours the first day. It was raining and then snowing. We were all in spring jackets, without hats or gloves. Misty and Mike did not offer to let us in to warm up, or use the bathroom. They didn't contact us on our second or third day of searching. My sister sent them a text in the late afternoon on the second day to let them know that we were still searching and another text in the late afternoon on the third day to let them know that we found her.
I cannot say enough wonderful comments about Misty, her husband, and her team at Misty Fields. I had a difficult time finding a place that love Hansel & Gretel as much as I do- that was until we took them to Misty Fields. Her price range is fair and she has multiple options for you to pick from. She goes above and beyond to make them comfortable and is knowledgeable with any cuts, bruises, or concerns your dog may have. My dogs used to shake when I pulled into other boarding places and I would have to push them out of the car; but with Misty Fields, Hansel & Gretel are wagging their tails and they don’t even look back at me to say goodbye. I am able to completely relax and enjoy wherever I’m going because H&G are in good hands. If I ever left this area, I would highly consider the drive to drop them off at Misty Fields for long stays. This pet resort is worth it.
Always takes care of our dogs and treats them like family. Never had even the slightest problem will continue to use their services. Love the care that is given to each animal it makes me very comfortable to leave my baby's with them.
We love Misty Field Pet Resort for our (older) dog! The owner is very responsive and professional. We hadn't borded our dog in a few years and Misty took wonderful care of her while keeping us updated with pictures and messages. We would absolutely recommend this pet resort!
We had Misty watch our two dogs for a week when we went on vacation. She was nice and let us drop everyone off early so we could catch our flight. She sent us photos with updates, and you could tell she enjoyed watching them.
Aunt T has been visiting our dogs for a few months now and we highly recommend her services. One of our two dogs has special needs and is very fearful of people, but Aunt T was successful in working with her to gain her confidence. She treats each pet with the necessary individuality required. Aunt T is very knowledgeable and is extremely patient with the animals as well. She keeps us updated during her visits and even shares photos. We highly recommend her services!
Millie, my 4 month old puppy, did a trial overnight at Aunt-T's and it was a great experience for both of us. Theresa kept me aprised of what was going on with her and sent photos in the evening of the first day and morning of the second. The big backyard allowed plenty of play and exercise room and I know Millie enjoyed having their dog to interact with since she's very social. The fact that takes only one client at a time ensured Millie got lots of attention. I don't hesitate to recommend her services.
My husband’s service dog whom he has never been separated from for more than a few hours stayed with Aunt T due to a lack of space in the car to take her when we traveled. We were unsure of how she would do being separated from my husband but Aunt T treated her like her own and took such good care of her. She is absolutely awesome about keeping us updated and in the loop and even sends pictures! We know it was a rough adjustment for Hydra to try and take commands from someone else but Aunt T was incredibly patient with her adjustment. We have used Aunt T in the past for our dogs that have passed on and we will continue to utilize her and recommend people to her.
My son has used Aunt T's twice now and myself once. We can't say enough of the amazing, thorough and loving care she gave to all our animals. Our pets just love her and her love of animals shows. I wouldn't even think about using another pet sitter! She is amazing and will be using her again in December.
Aunt T let me know she is starting to board dogs on a limited basis and I recently brought my 2 dogs to her for a trip. I could rest easy knowing my babies were well cared for. Photos and updates shared every day to us. When my elderly dog ate a spicy sky raisin, Theresa let me know straight away, and brought him into the vet for steroids (he’s doing okay!) would 100% recommend for boarding services.
We have used Auntie T’s pet services a couple times and I wouldn’t want any one else watching my dogs! She is awesome and has the best heart for any animal! Both my boys love her and loves when she comes to see them! Great at communicating, amazing availability, and makes sure your furry kids are well taken care of!
Aunt T definitely has her work cut out for her with my four doggies. They range from a 10-year-old to a 9-week-old and one of them is very shy, but Aunt T’s Confucians calm demeanor earned her love and trust from each one of them right away. I am so grateful for her and recommend her to everyone!!
Theresa is absolutely the sweetest and most caring pet sitter we could have ever asked for! She went above and beyond for my husband and I last minute when we really needed someone to watch our dogs for the weekend of our wedding. She sent us pics and took such good care of our babies! We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone you can trust in your home. She even bought us these beautiful flowers 🥰
Aunt T deserves all the stars in the heavens as a pet sitter. Theresa has taken care of our dogs for years. Our Dylan was a Mastiff who had Addison’s disease and Theresa dispensed medication with exceptional experience when caring for him. Now we have Lily. She is another rescue after Dylan. Aunt T took care of her for a week when we were out of state for our daughter’s wedding. Such a relief to know our Lily was safe and snuggly in her own routine at home. Theresa has enormous love and compassion for all animals. She pays attention to detail. She is reliable, trustworthy and so friendly. I am so happy she has been part of our dogs lives in caring for them.
They were absolutely amazing with our animals-I have never seen Kia (older sheperd) take to anyone as much as she did to Theresa-we got daily updates,with pictures,every single day! Truly an amazing service! Now I know for sure that any time I have to be away from home,I will use this service and know,without a doubt,that our animals are in the best of hands and very well taken care of-thank you Aunt T’s for taking such good care of our babies-you are a credit to your profession ❤️💕
