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.

Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
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.
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
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.
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!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
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!
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.
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, $10/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!
First would like to thank Martin and Marissa for an amazing job while watching my puppy over the week ! Had a business trip last minute I had to go on and with none of my family being able to watch my puppy I decided to try out Joyful Jitters. I am more than pleased with the experience and my puppy loved it as well ! Highly recommend this company and will be coming back. Thanks Martin and Marissa.
Going out of town helped. Booked with them from a recommendation of coworker. Fair rate and ease of mind. Good updates when requested. Will book again
From the moment I first spoke to someone on the phone to the day I picked him up, I've never felt more comfortable and safe leaving my sweet Dobby dog with at a doggie hotel! The love they have for pets is so real and present. Dobby came home happy, bathed, and full of energy! I highly recommend our new family at Dog Days Inn! And they gave him a distinguished bow tie!!
I took my Golden Doodle for grooming at Dogs Day Inn. Jess, his groomer, is simply amazing at her job. I really didn't appreciate how talented she is until I had another groomer cut him a few months ago. Her attention to detail, technique, and ability to shape my Doodle's hair is what sets her apart from the rest. If you want a professional cut for your Doodle, call dogs day inn and schedule and appointment with Jess. I promise you will not take your dog anywhere else after you experience her expertise.
Dogs Day Inn is the only place I trust for my dog! While they may not be the newest facility around, the staff's warmth and friendliness more than make up for it. My dog absolutely loves it here and is always happy when I pick her up. At some of the newer places, my dog has come home scared and anxious, but at Dogs Day Inn, she never wants to leave! The care and attention they provide are top-notch, and I know my dog feels safe and loved every time she’s there. If you're looking for a place where your dog will be treated like family, this is it. I can't recommend them enough!
My dog absolutely loves this place. We had tried multiple other places (for boarding) and I had found that he was incredibly anxious entering and leaving all of those other places. But with Dogs Day Inn I found that Archie has been repeatedly excited to enter and is always happy and not at all anxious when he leaves. It appears that they pay close attention to each dog, and give them love and care while their owners are away! Couldn't recommend it more.
Staff was amazing and fit my Butter in last minute. They are very professional and efficient!
We always board our two dogs here. They come home happy and tired from all the fun. It's the staff that keeps us coming back. The facility is not the newest or best appointed facility in town, but the people make the difference for us.
All of the workers are very kind and seem like they know all the dogs by names❣️😊 The groomer is one of the best! Definitely stop by and see for yourself! They are very clean and offer special made treats for your furry babies as well! 🥰 …
Bradford enjoyed his stay as usual. Great care and personal attention. He’s glad to be home again but will be glad to be back at the next opportunity!
Great family oriented services. My babies get boarded and groomed here. I’ve been a customer for over 10 years and I’d dare not dream about taking them anywhere else. My dogs (Dutch Shepherd and a Yorkie) start turning in circles and whining as soon as we pull into the parking lot because of their excitement to go in! I have to tell them to stop it because it’s so annoying 🙄. It was so bad one day I had to call the owner because I was so tickled at their behavior. It’s like instant gratification for them and they know exactly where they’re at. I have recommended this place since I found it back when Paige was the owner, and now that her daughter Kris has taken over I still have the same stance! There’s no place better that I’d trust with my babies. So much so that even my mom started boarding her babies here. Great job to the team! You’ve gained a loyal customer for as long as I’m in the area!!!!
It’s taken me a long time to get over the loss of my dog Marley. We had been taking our dog there for several years without a problem In April of 2023 we took Marley who was healthy, update on his vaccines and only 9 years old in for routine grooming and was called an hour later with the shocking and devastating news that our dog was DEAD!!!… We haven’t heard from them since that day!! No phone calls to see how we were doing! No sympathy card! Nothing!!!!!! GOING FORWARD I WILL NEVER TRUST MY DOG IN THIS FACILITY AGAIN!!!
Haley is the absolute best pet sitter that we could ask for! She genuinely cares for our dogs, even despite their barky nature. We have used Haley on multiple occasions and I have such peace of mind for our dogs when they are in her care. Every time we come home we can tell that the dogs were well loved and our house is in great condition. Haley is quick to respond to messages and communicates regularly. I highly recommend her services to anyone who is interested.
Haley is wonderful business owner and pet sitter. She is responsive, caring, and truly looks after your pets with the same attention and love that you would yourself. It's a comfort to know she is there with them, and I appreciate the extra mile effort of keeping us up to date. We have several pets who are advanced senior age, and the reassurance is very much appreciated. Can't recommend Haley enough.
Haley at All Animal Care and Pet Sitting is amazing!! It is evident that Haley loves all animals of all kinds, and they love her in return. Haley has a lifetime of experience and knowledge, she is truly gifted and highly skilled, and it is obvious that she loves what she does. Haley is very professional and trustworthy, she is quick to communicate, provides updates, and the absolute best care of pets and their homes. I wholeheartedly recommend Haley at All Animal Care and Pet Sitting!
So many amazing things to say about Haley. We have used her twice for overnight stays with our 2 rescue dogs. First of all the communication before and during is effortless. She texts almost immediately if we have questions or if we are just checking in. Also, she is very prompt. If she says she will arrive at 3 pm she will be there. I was a little nervous using her the first time just because we had never left our pets with anyone other than family. We went away this past weekend overnight and she stayed with our pups and I had zero worries and knew that I could text or call at anytime. Both of our dogs love her and she always sends us adorable pictures. I would not use anyone else. We have several upcoming weekend getaways coming up in the Spring and we will definitely use Haley. We feel so blessed that we found someone that truly loves what she does and it shows!
Haley is a gem! She kept us updated on our pups' welfare and took great care of our home. She is very professional, thoughtful, and accommodating. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Haley has cared for my dog Calvin for nearly four years now, and she is wonderful. He adores her and we think of her as part of the family. He has canine epilepsy, and though it has been well- controlled for a couple years now (fingers crossed), he has a somewhat complex food and medication regimen, but Haley is always on top of it and is more than capable of handling it. She has done both drop-in visits and overnight house/dog sitting for us, and she takes wonderful care of everything. She is a "natural" with animals and I absolutely recommend her.
I cannot say enough great things about this business! I reached out to Haley to check in on my cat while I was out of town, and I do not regret it one but. She responded to my inquiry very quickly and was easy to chat and schedule with- we even scheduled a meet and greet for her and my cat. She was thorough and thoughtful in asking questions- she even cleaned up when my cat dumped her litter box over, lol. Haley took great care of my cat and I will definitely choose All Animal Care and Pet Sitting the next time I go out of town.
Oh my gosh.....where do I even start on Haley?! Is there a way to leave more than 5 stars? Let me start by saying I was impressed when she didn't run off after meeting with me.....I think I may be one of the worst helicopter fur-moms and the pickiest about my animals care, in the world. That being said, it is hard for me to even explain how grateful we are to have found her and have her in ours/our animals lives! She is so knowledgeable and understanding, and goes above and beyond every single time. Our animals, who sometimes take a while to come around, took to her instantly and are familiar with her face now and look forward to when they get to see her. I think when we came back from a trip, they were more sad that she had left. She remembers every little detail and for someone that gets so beyond stressed leaving their animals, that is so, so helpful! She checks in on our animals (one of them has some life threatening health issues) when she doesn't have to, and knows the way we want everything, every time. I used to not be able to leave without writing a book of instructions and being panicked the entire time I was away...and even with all the things our animals require and everything she has to remember, she still finds time to send pictures, give additional updates and go the extra mile for us and our pets without us even asking. I cannot explain the gift this girl has for this or put into words how much I recommend her. She has been a blessing to us and we are so thankful for her every time. If you want the best care for your animals, and I mean the best, do not consider anyone but Haley!
Fantastic service from a top rate pet sitter. Haley takes the most amazing pictures (side bonus when she is watching our pup!) She is always reliable and responsible and we don’t ever worry when she is pet sitting. Also a great communicator!
Haley did an amazing job caring for my boy Charlie! It’s so comforting to know that he is in his own home being cared for by someone who loves animals as much as I do. She was very respectful of our home and followed all of the instructions left for our home and Charlie. Thank you Haley!
Adopted a farm hound dog and brought him to the city... Diamond Doghouse is the BEST decision I have made to help him get energy out. His new favorite word is "daycare"! XD Jodi, Bob, and the whole team know all the dogs. Visiting vet helps get bordatella and all the needed shots done at daycare.
Josh is excited as we arrive at the Doghouse! Much respect to folks that care for Josh. In addition they are aware of current veterinary health issues and strive to counter with veterinary health input and deny questionable clients that maybe prone to aggressiveness .🐾🐾 …
This team is simply the best! Nacho loves it here and they always give him tons of love and attention. You can tell he knows the car ride there and gets more excited as we get closer to the Diamond. Love it!
My dog absolutely loves it here- he practically busts the door down with his head to get in during drop off. He started here as a puppy and then again after he was fixed, and we’ve never had any concerns. it’s been great for him- and for me for longer days in the office. Highly recommend!
Everyone at Diamond doghouse is the best! They are so caring and wonderful for our pup. She’s always excited to go to daycare, and they make boarding a breeze, as well!
Lmao Well my dog was discriminated against because he's lab/pit mix I guess bad reputation of his kin he's not welcome to this establishment
Barron loves the Diamond Doghouse! Dodie and Sarah are absolutely phenomenal. We have been to all rest and this is the best daycare and boarding. The team is attentive to each dog’s unique needs. We love the Diamond Doghouse.
Was denied over the phone because my dog is a pit mix. My dog is 35 lbs has never shown signs of aggression and is beyond sweet and gentle with other dogs and people. The site said they do in-person evaluations. That’s when they should determine if the dog is a fit or not. Extremely disappointed.
We’ve been taking our dogs here for 6 years for both daycare and boarding. We’ve been to other places and watched our dogs try to drag us back to the car. But here, they sprint to the door. One of our dogs has epilepsy and we feel so good about leaving her here. They are taken care of and loved on and we couldn’t be happier. Also you can’t beat their prices. I am getting ready to have our first baby and even though I’m due around Thanksgiving (which is a time when boarding reservations are a MUST - which I clearly can’t make because I don’t know when I’ll go into labor) they have been so accommodating, telling me not to worry and there will be space for my pups whenever it is that they come in. I am truly grateful for this place.
I love this place. I take my dog every Friday to play with the other dogs and would recommend Diamond Doghouse to anyone (and have) with a dog! Prior to here, I tried two others and neither of those would let me see the facilities and one even had lost my business due to negligence claims and pet deaths. When I started at Diamond Doghouse, there was a break-in period that showed the staff how my dog acts with others. This helped them determine the best grouping to keep her happy. In all the time I have been a customer, my dog has been in one scrap that I know of. I also know my dog, while a small one, can be very rough at times. The rates are very reasonable and the location is perfect for anyone in the city who needs to drop off and jump on the highway. You cant say the staff doesn't care either: Recently they petitioned to reduce the amount of firework activity at the Diamond, with all of their boarders in mind! Finally, there are soft surfaces, via grass carpet for the dogs to be on, not just concrete (which is mostly smooth and sealed). My dog loves everything about this place, from the drive there to the drive back. I highly recommend.
