This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
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!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
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!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
We knew that we would have a good experience with Carole & Ron from the moment we first had a video chat with them. They are very experienced house sitters and it showed in the questions they asked about our cats and our home. We were so fascinated by them that we invited them to arrive a day early so that we could all go out for lunch and then dinner to hear about their travel stories and share a few of our own. When we left, we felt very confident in our choice and took off on our trip with confidence that our dear kitties would be well cared for. We were not disappointed as Carole & Ron sent us photos and an update the very next day to let us know that all was well. During the next two weeks, we never had a moment of concern and fully enjoyed our vacation knowing that these seasoned sitters were both looking after our place and also enjoying themselves exploring our wonderful city of Philadelphia. We came home to two very happy cats, a clean house, and even a full bowl of fresh fruit on our kitchen counter. We would absolutely have Carole & Ron sit for us again and we wish them the very best of fun and exploration in their future adventures!
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Cat and Paul sat for me in December and kept a watchful eye on my trusty sidekick Jake. All I can say is my gosh what a great job they did giving Jake a lot of TLC. He obviously missed them since he wandered around our home looking for them after their departure. My home was left in the exact same condition and they did a great job of communicating with me during my trip, letting me know exactly how Jake was getting along. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of my home and showing Jake a great time. I hope that during the coming year they will volunteer to do another sit for me. If you need any other specifics about how awesome a sitter Cat is please feel free to call or email me and I will be more than happy to give you more details. Hope you have an opportunity in the future to use them as house and pet sitters! Regards! Edward
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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, 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!
We have worked with Teri for a little over two years now and we are so grateful for all that Teri does!! It is so nice to have someone who takes such good care of our pets to rely on. Teri sends thoughtful reports and the best pictures after her drop ins!!
Chloe did an excellent job of providing 4 mid-day visits. She was faithful in giving me a report (with pictures) each day. When my flight home got canceled, she agreed to visit on the 5th day. The web portal is easy to send emails, payments, etc. I’ll use again and I highly recommend.
I cannot say enough great things about this pet sitter! She was reliable and thorough. Every morning I woke up to a full daily report of her visit including updates on what she did each visit and how our cat was doing, with a few cute pictures as well. She was thoughtful in taking care of the house and was very responsive in the communication portal. She truly went above and beyond, and I'm so grateful to have someone to count on when traveling out of town. Highly recommend! Thanks so much, Leah.
Distinctive Pet Care and Julie have been caring for my two senior dogs with all the love and cuddles I could ask for from a sitter. Julie has done overnight stays and mid-day walks for me. One of my pets is diabetic and requires timed insulin shots. The other is a puppy mill survivor and very nervous around new people. Julie has gone above and beyond to meet my dog's medical needs. Her patience and consistent care have helped to bring my shy dog out of her nervous shell. She now will run up to the door to meet Julie knowing there is a walk and a snuggle waiting. Thank you, Distinctive Pet Care, for finding reputable pet sitters and providing them the support they need to be successful. Thank you, Julie, for being the pet sitter I needed!
We LOVE our pet sitter, Kathy! It can be so nerve wrecking to find someone you trust to come into your home and take care of your pets, and we are so thankful for her! One of our pets is prone to medical issues and has been on lots of different medications and food. Each time we have to leave them we know Kathy can handle it and follow new and specific directions. We also LOVE getting a picture of them every time she comes to visit!
I love Distinctive Pet Care! We used them when we were out of town for five nights on vacation, and they had a fantastic in home sitter stay every night and another check in mid-afternoons every day. They sent pictures and an e-mail report every day both for the mid-day and the overnights, which was a huge relief to me. One of my dogs has abandonment issues, so coming home to see her so normal and happy was AMAZING! We will definitely use them every single time we go out of town or need a pet sitter.
I’ve used Distinctive Pet Care’s sitting services for several years. The pet sitters are always attentive to the pets and to the house. I am very satisfied with the quality of care and their communication.
We have used Distinctive pet care several times over the last few years. We have used them for many different type of visits, from brief "mid day potty breaks" for random long work days, to two week long trips for mom and dad to go to Europe where they visit three times a day. It is never easy leaving our babies behind but DPC (specifically Cheryl (retired now) and Nikki) are AMAZING. They are responsible, keep us well informed and ease our minds when we have to leave them behind. I am so grateful for their service and commitment to our pets. I would whole heartedly recommend to anyone needing pet care in our area. Thanks for all you do!
Holly at Distinctive Pet Care did a wonderful job taking care of our bunny while we were on vacation. It was comforting to know he was in such good hands and the daily reports she sent after every visit were filled with information and pictures so we always knew what was going on. Holly's communication was stellar, her care for Milo was above and beyond and we will definitely use Distinctive Pet Care again.
I literally cannot say enough about Fran and Holly with distinctive pet care!!! I have a12 week old puppy and travel A LOT for work which would be very difficult if not for Fran and Holly. They do daily visits, overnight sitting and training. They are amazing with her and REALLY love her and care about her development and happiness.....it feels like family (only better because Fran is such a fabulous trainer) I would pay them twice as much as they charge for everything they have done for me and my sweet puppy!!!! Thank you Fran and Holly ❤️
I've used Wag & Purr Pet Sitting for several years now and I always recommend them to friends. This pet-sitting service is reliable and friendly. All the sitters who have looked after my cat are great and seem to truly love and understand pets. I appreciate that they'll send a pic with each visit, provide an update and pick up the mail. The online platform for scheduling is convenient and easy to use. Love this local pet-sitting company!
Molly, Ryan, and Paula were lifesavers for us whenever we were gone. They cared for our girl like she was there own. They came even when we needed a quick potty break for our girl unexpectedly.We always had detailed updates, and pictures while we were gone. In the final days of our sweet girl’s life, they went above and beyond to make our girl comfortable while we had to be away on a family trip. It meant the world to know they were taking care of our dog, and also to know that someone was watching over our house as well. When we are ready to get a new fur baby, they will be the first on our list to call again!
I have used Wag & Purr Pet Sitting for just shy of a year now and have zero complaints. I rarely trust my cats with anyone other than myself, so the bar is high. Molly and Ryan are extraordinarily communicative and always reliable. They have been understanding and go the extra mile when it comes to picking up / returning my key and picking up packages while I'm gone. I highly recommend Wag & Purr Pet Sitting.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our pet sitter provided for Maggie and Ginger! We received daily updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. When we arrived home, it was clear how happy and well-loved they were during our absence. We can always tell when they’ve been sad, but this time they were their cheerful, content selves. Thank you for going above and beyond for our furry family members—it means the world to us!
We have used Wag and Purr pet sitting twice now and they have been incredible!! Very professional and responsible. Molly, the owner, is so easy to communicate with and we trust them with our pets completely. Ryan has been the one to come out to our house, feed cats and water plants. He always sends us pictures and updates. He is very professional and has the perfect personality for coming in our home and making our animals feel comfortable. I find there rates to be very reasonable and will be calling them every time we travel!!
100% Reliable. Go the extra mile while pet sitting my cat - took out my trash cans, water plants, collect packages off the porch, turn lights on and off - I consider them not only pet but house sitters too! And I love the daily “pet journal” updates and pics they send after every visit! Highly recommend!
I LOVE Wag & Purr! The owner is organized and responsive. And we ABSOLUTELY love the person who comes to our home to take care of our puppies! I couldn’t be happier!
Word of mouth is how I found Wag and Purr and I can't be happier with their service and care of our beloved dogs. They have provided overnight care for our 3 100+lbs dogs for over a year now and are fantastic! When my husband and I got stuck in another state due to a snowstorm canceling our flight home to Colorado, we were in direct communication with our dog sitter and the owner who ensured us our dogs would be taken care of no matter how long we were delayed. This gave us such comfort in an already stressful situation. If you are looking for top-notch in-home care for your fur babies, I highly recommend Wag and Purr! (Plus you get to support a woman-owned small business!)
Such a great experience with Wag & Purr! I loved the updates and pictures each visit. My dog looked like she had a wonderful time, and I could tell Ryan for sure took care of her! Can’t wait to use Wag & Purr in the future!
I’ve used Wag and Purr to take care of my three cats for several vacations now. Ryan has been the pet sitter the last few times and does an amazing job. He always sends me pictures and I can’t look very happy and playful and every photo. He topped off the litter box when it needed it and brings in the mail every day. I’m so much happier since I went to a pet care service. I don’t have anything to worry about. I know my cats will be taken care of.
