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!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 :)
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.
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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 $25 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!
The kennel is home based. I have used many times and no issues ever. Very resonably priced and always have space for my dogs. Bonus, they dont charge extra to give medication or if your dog isn't good with other dogs.
Excellent groom for the first time at this groomer today. My dog came out with the best groom he’s ever had! Very nice people and a good environment. Definitely recommend.
Exceptional work, as always. Before and after. Hehe
Excellent service. Extremely simple booking and they take lots of photos so you know your fur baby is okay.
Catherine has been a life saver. Billie adores her and doesn’t seem to miss me at all! She sends a report for every visit that gives me comfort when I’m at work. Highly recommend her!!!
We just picked up our 8 month old Australian Labradoodle named Abby. While on a European holiday for 17 days we left Abby in AJ’s care. She had a wonderful time. Everyday there were posted pics and videos of Abby playing, running,swimming and napping. Every morning we would check the videos and then set out for the day knowing that Abby was well taken care of by AJ. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shady Orchard Dogs if an open concept kennel is what would suit your dog best. Abby would have hated to be kept in an individual run all day. She is a social butterfly and loves playing with other pups, all shapes and all sizes. Our heartfelt thanks to AJ.
My dog loves being here. She once spent over a month with AJ and her family, am not sure she wanted to come back! AJ is also fantastic with behaviour issues, she spotted that Gracie was unsure with other dogs, not having been socialised much previous to her living with me. We highly recommend this business.
Hidden gem...Adrienne treats dogs like they were her own and sometimes I think my dog is sad to come home! Definitely not a “kennel”, this is a doggy retreat!
A great home away from home for your pet. They care for them like it was their own.
This is a great place to train and have fun with your dog!! Knowledgeable and caring trainers walk you through exercises from novice to advanced. Love this place!!
Incredible compared to a regular grooming salon! Ashley is an awesome groomer, my dog looks amazing and he had a blast running around the free space after his groom. Already booked for next time and definitely going to sign up for their classes! They are all so friendly :)
It is a nice size indoor dog training center and has lots of equipment for various types of dog training. My dog loves it there as well as our trainer and has lots of fun while learning obedience and other classes they provide. Very helpful to what ever our needs are.
We just finished a fantastic agility course and had so much fun. Joanna and Crystal are clearly passionate about what they do and we are looking forward to the next course! We have also used their puppy power hour previously which was ideal for socialising our puppy in a safe and stimulating environment. Will be back!
Have done obedience and agility classes here and my dog and I love it. The trainers are very knowledgeable and fun, they are so great with the dogs and use a very positive training style. My cattle dog is obsessed with them!
Crystal was so lovely and knowledgeable with our dog. Great facility, would recommend to anyone!
Love this place. I went for ratting and obedience lessons. I don't have the easiest dogs to handle and I found the staff at the centre very accommodating and knowledgeable. I had a great time there so far. 😊 …
Love them! I took my Bernese puppy to Obedience classes and puppy social and they were amazing. My Frenchie and I do ratting classes and love them! Great place
Great dog training, getting our Covid puppy socialized and better behaved. Crystal and the other trainers are very patient with puppies and owners 😊 …
Puppy Power Hour is a great way to burn off your pups energy and to lean to socialize with other pups.
I travel a fare amount for work and it has been amazing to have waggs n’ whiskers to be able to bring my dog to while I travel. Pam and her team truly care about the dogs under their care and I can leave my dog without worry. My dog loves being there and is well cared for every time. The crate free environment allows my dog to interact with other dogs all day long. I also appreciated the fact that they meet each dog before they join given the crate free environment. It has made traveling so much easier as I never feel guilty dropping him off as he has so much fun with the other dogs and so well taken care of.
My girls just love going... Owners and staff takes good care of all dogs present. Always feel good leaving my girls there never worry. I would recommend them to anyone. Just knowing they are free to play and not put in a crate or room where they need to stay for an hour or more makes me feel at ease. Sleep overs I feel the same. Waggs n' Whiskers is the Best of the Best.
If you are looking for amazing doggy daycare or boarding then this is the place! No kennels or cages, huge play areas, both indoor and outdoor, and exceptionally well organized drop off and pick up. Your dogs go from your car to the person greeting them underneath a carport so you don't need to go more than five feet to drop them off and pick them up. Pick up can sometimes be a bit busy with cars lined up waiting their turn, but the care the dogs get and how happy they are when you pick them up is well worth the sometimes 5-10 minute wait. My two dogs are ecstatic when we arrive, and pooped when we picked them up. And they take fantastic photos of your dogs too!
I don't know what we would do without Waggs. Pam and Todd and their team have made all 3 of my dogs feel at home. I love the boarding with no cages and can depend on this team to take care of all my dogs needs. Having a beagle is no easy task, but Waggs makes it hassle free!
Waggs and Whiskers is amazing! I can’t say enough good things about it!! Every staff member is kind and truly cares about the animals. Our Australian Shepherd loves her doggy daycare days and is pooped when we bring her home every evening.
Pam and Todd have created a fun, safe and loving place for your dog to hang out for the day. Have been taking out dog there for over 6 years since she was a puppy and can't say enough great things about Waggs 'n Whiskers and their staff!
The staff at Waggs 'n Whiskers are absolutely amazing. They ar so kind to our babies and they just love being there. So happy we signed Niko up for his play dates. I would highly recommend it.
There is no better place to bring your best friends. Pam & Todd are wonderful people who do a wonderful job watching your best friends while you run errands or work... there is nobody else I would leave my best friends... Lennie & Carl knew every wednesday where they were going and could not wait to get there.
We love this place. We travel often and know when our Jewel is here she is getting the best care and having fun! Jewel always comes home exhausted!! A happy dog is a tired dog!!!
There is no better place to take your dogs. These ladies are awesome and they care so much.
