"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
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.
Becca did a wonderful job caring for our two cats. She was on time, well organized and communicated with us daily about the boys adventures. The house was clean and tidy on our return and the cats were sane and sound. She is an experienced sitter and expresses great joy in her environment and travels! Becca is always welcome in our home!
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!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
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.
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks 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, $19/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 pup loves daycare! She has such a fun time playing with the other dogs. I get a sense from all the employees that they genuinely care about all the animals. Whenever I pick BB up they always tell me little things about her day- what she did and who she played with and it makes me happy. On Halloween Brittany even made personalized treat bags with homemade cookies for every dog that was there that day. They really go the extra mile.
MickSparkins Pet Care has taken such good care of our Boxer during boarding! They were communicative, kind, & understanding of his individual needs. 10/10 recommend!
I’m sorry I didn’t know I left this review. It looks like I just hit one and I never commented me doing the one star and posting that was an accident star and I never commented. I’m so sorry. I do not know my way around the on the phone to do very much on it except just make calls and texts and look up stuff. And here in this video one night when Lucky has been outside and he has stayed in the yard and he has listened and Marley’s really good about it too in Waze lucky is chewing on a bull stick right there around the corner where he lays does walk out of view of camera For a minute, but not out of the yard
This place has gone above and beyond my expectations for a Day-Care! The stafe is amazing and you can truly tell they care about the well being of thier clients. I'm extremely satisfied with the services they provide and would recommend them to anyone.
I had been looking for a reliable, knowledgeable and caring trainer for our family’s new Doxie. We were actually referred to MickSparkins by another trainer who highly recommended them. Our boy has been in group classes and boarding while we were on vacation, and there’s no where else we’d ever take our pets! I am so glad we followed the recommendation for MickSparkins Pet Care!
Absolutely love this place! They're so friendly and helpful! Loki was the sweetest little rescue with absolutely NO manners when we got him and the proper training made the world of difference in such a short time! He's now not only the sweetest little guy, but also the bestest boy who loves to listen!
Violet loves going to doggy daycare! She loves seeing her human and dog friends. They take such good care of her!
I’ve been taking my dog to MickSparkins for day care for almost 2 years. They take great care of her, have a variety of activities and play groups, and give her downtime so she doesn’t get overly tired. She loves going and loves the staff!
My dog Scout has been enjoying MickSparkins daycare for almost a year now. We both have loved getting to know all of the staff and consider them all friends. They love and treat Scout like he is family and that makes me happy. I recommend the daycare and boarding to every dog owner I talk to. The staff is highly qualified and are continuously learning new techniques and methods to provide top notch care and training for the dogs. Scout is always happy to be dropped off each morning and I know he has had the best day with all his friends when I pick him up.
MickSparkins is an absolutely great place for your four-legged fur baby. The staff is in love with all the dogs, and the care they give to them shows. My dog loves going there for daycare, and his boarding experience was outstanding. And don't forget the grooming! He is a sharp looking pup, thanks to the care taken by MickSparkin's resident groomer. Add in the training available, and the trips to the park, and it is doggie heaven. Hugs to all the staff that makes MickSparkins a great place!
Ginny is the absolute best! We left our girl for the first time, and High Hope Farm would be our first & only choice if we have to leave her again.Anytime I wanted to check in she happily updated me. Our girl has separation anxiety and needed medication, and Ginny took care of everything perfectly. I would recommend her to anyone with fur babies!
I've left my Blossom with Ginny twice now. Once for a month due to a family emergency, and just picked her up yesterday from a week long vacation. Ginny sends me videos of Blossom interacting with her own dogs and regularly sends text updates! I feel safe leaving my old puppers at High Hope Farm. Will not leave her anywhere else.
Ginny is absolutely terrific with her own dogs and LOVES to care for others!! She doesn’t just place them in a kennel and forget them, she lets them have outdoor fun time through the day! If you need someone to care for your dog, she’s it!!!! I highly recommend!!!
Ginny is absolutely amazing! Our dog Goldiepaws loves going to play with all her friends and literally runs inside from the car every time! We recommend Ginny and High Hope Farm and Pet Sitting to anyone with a dog who wants them to be treated like family whether it be just for daycare or while you are away on vacation! Can’t say enough nice things!
Our dogs LOVE going to stay with Miss Ginny! They start getting excited and chirping as soon as we turn onto her road. We have absolutely zero worry when we board at High Hope Farm and are so appreciative to have a place for them when we travel knowing they're taken care of, safe and loved.
My dog LOVES it here. Ginny is super great with her, and very communicative. The dogs actually get to run around and play with each other most of the day, rather than being in a kennel. Great place!
I would never leave my dog with anyone but Ginny! She goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is always taken care of. My dog has a blast with her and always comes back happy and tired. I will always recommend High Hopes!!
Ginny is amazing! Our fur babies LOVE visiting and she cares for them like her own. She has our 100 percent trust!
Me Ginny loves our lab Chaco! He gets so excited when we mention her name. Ginny is great to send pictures and videos while we are away.
Ginny loves animals and it shows! She takes great care of our dogs!
