I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
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.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
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.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
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.
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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, $14/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’ve used Kevertin pet resort for years and no other grooming company compares! My dog is quite the menace and has been turned down at most places but I’ve never had any issues with them and best part is he always comes out looking handsome every time🐶 …
Kevertin is the best. The people that work here love my pet and she's quite ok with going there and she likes the handlers. She comes here to play with other dogs and also gets kenneled when we go somewhere and can't take her
Excellent! Family owned/ran, kind, compassionate. My puppy did great during her overnight stay (4 or 5 nights) and came home bathed, brushed, happy! All her items/toys she came with were categorized and returned laundered! I brought the pup back for grooming along with my other dog and they did an amazing job! The last 2 photos are before pix. Very reasonable cost also. My chihuahua terrier is very unruly when it comes to getting his nails trimmed (no luck at Petsmart, they refused bc he tried to bite, & the vets will do it but it took 2 ppl to hold him down, muzzle etc). Well, at Kevertin it only took one person (Willa I believe) and they had no problem to report when I asked how he did. I could also tell he was calm when I picked him up, not scared and shaky as per usual. I love this place and highly recommend!
A very professional well-run kennel that really is all about the dogs under their care. We’ve used the kennel for overnight stays and also the day care. I was impressed by their careful evaluation of our dog.
Very happy with our pups 1st overnights away from home. Staff is very helpful and experienced. The whole package from extra playtime to grooming made us more than likely to return. Traveller made some new friends without a doubt.
Planning to leave our dog with Kevertin for an upcoming vacation. Since this will be her first time, we visited 2 well known sights. We were impressed with their set up, tour of the facility and attention to our concerns. They have a set price that includes everything for your pet including play time, medications and special needs. No multiple upgrade fees like the other place we visited. They also offered a visitation day at no cost for our dogs introduction and ability to become familiar with the resort and staff.
My dog gets major boarding stress and anxiety but when I leave her at Kevertin I can feel confident they are taking good care of her. I can call anytime and get reassured she is doing ok. She makes out just fine. She is 14 and mostly deaf. This is a picture of Peaches.
We’ve been steady customers of Kevertin for 20 years. Great kennel. They really care about the dogs who stay there.
I seen many super happy pups enjoying the good life today!
I can’t say enough about Kevertin. We’ve loved them to pieces, since our last older lab, Rudy… and now, our 13 month old labradoodle. These folks are wonderful. He comes home happy. What more can you want?
Charley, my Havanese, has stayed with Top of the Bay while I was hospitalized and received the best of care. They have done a great job with his grooming. I am very pleased with Greg and his staff.
This is a great place to take your pet for lodging. My dog has stayed here two different times and comes home happy and healthy. He got groomed here as well and the groomer did a great job! Highly recommend this place!
This place used to be "Top of the Bay"Now it is rundown and shabby looking, Overpriced,And now they exploit dogs with these ridiculous dog shows,And obedience training,Which is done cruelly,Skip this place and go to Keverton or Goldenwood
They take care of the dogs, however the place is run down and disorganized! The kennels are clean, but the facilities need a really good cleaning & overall makeover! The layout is so dysfunctional it causes the employees to spend so much time running in circles! This place needs to be torn down & built over to be functional & run properly & smoothly!
We have been using Top of the Bay for years and love the staff! Extremely friendly and I love that the owner lives on site so the animals are never alone. My English Mastiff can be very timid - the first two times I practically had to drag him in - by the 3rd time his tail wags, he is excited, and walks right on in. The only draw back is the appearance, the place is a little outdated - not a fancy dog spa. But personally, I care more about the staff and how they treat the animals.
They were very accommodating. I drove in from out of town and they saw me when I got in. They took great care of my cat, Athena, and dog, Zeus. My pets did NOT want to leave. Plus, they had so much fun that they slept the entire ride home, which was about an hour and a half. They did not have too much energy the next day either. Lol! I go to St. Michael's about 10 times a year so I will be stopping back at Top of the Bay Pet Lodge again.
Love the team here. Great for boarding, and also training. The staff really cares about your dog - it's good to know your buddy is being cared in great manner. Will continue to use this nice place.
We boarded our 2 three year old beagles here for 4 days. The place is very dated, but it appears safe. They use a two gate system to keep dogs in, which was our main concern given the nature of beagles. The reason for my review is for the extremely poor, rushed nail trimming job they did on one of our beagles. We called over 5 hours before pickup to state that we would arrive around 5-5:30PM to pickup our dogs; we arrived at 5:20PM. When we walked in, they indicated that they had forgotten to clip our one dogs toes. They said they would do it right then. They did, and the $20 nail trim took all of about 2 mins. This was shocking to me, as our vet and normal groomer usually take much longer, but nonetheless we paid our bill and left. About 10 mins later down the road we noticed blood everywhere on my wife's shirt, front seat, and dash. Four nails, one on each of her paws were bleeding very heavily. It was not a small drop of blood, but a very noticeable and alarming amount. They were cut way, way too short. We live close by and immediately called the pet lodge to notify them of what was going on, and ask what we needed to do. Their comment to my wife was, "this happens here all the time, just put some baking soda on them or anything startchy." They did not offer any apology whatsoever, and frankly acted surprised that we would call them with such a small issue as having a dog with 4 profusely bleeding toe nails. It is also not common with professional nail trimming, and it has never happened at any point in the past when we have had them done at our vets office or normal groomer. We have always paid someone to do it because we understood how incredibly painful it is for them to get cut too short. After this treatment we could never trust them to provide any service for our dogs, and frankly have serious concerns for their grooming ability and judgment. It would be one thing if it was one nail, and they apologized; dogs can move, I get it. This, however, was a botched rushed job that resulted in extreme pain for the dog, 4 bloody toenails, blood all over my car, and an excuse that "it happens all the time."
They do a great job grooming my fluffy corgi. And believe me, there's a ton of fluff to groom. My pup is always excited to go visit and is always happy and ready when I pick him up. Would definitely recommend.
Yesterday I took my little Shitzu Poo to Top of the Bay for grooming. I didnt realize how scruffy Rugby was until they bought out Rugby after grooming...I now have a show dog ! I was so excited. They not only made my dog beautiful, the groomer gave me so much info on this breed of dog without me even asking. I'm just so impressed with Top of the Bay and their staff.
I never thought the day would ever come when I could comfortably leave my corgi at home when we had to go away. Then I met Ashley! She is amazing with my Skye, and has the patience and knowledge to turn a corgi with separation anxiety into a loyal puppy who loves and trusts her. Skye gets SO EXCITED when Ashley walks into the house! And Ashley excels at communication, sending daily photos and reports to put my mind at ease. Skye has so much fun with her – when we returned home, she was happy to see us, but I could tell she was still wondering where Ashley went! Thank you so much Ashley for taking such good care of my dog.
Ashley is amazing! As you can see from the pics she sent below, my dogs Tito and Ringo absolutely love her and had a blast. She did a wonderful job caring for them for a week, which is no easy feat with two border collies and a muddy yard. So much so, we look forward to working with her as a trainer too. I highly recommend Ashley and feel lucky to have found her.
Ashley was amazing with my dogs. Even gave my newf a nickname that we use still! She was always on time and kept me posted on how my boys were and sent pics sometimes! Definitely a great person to take care of any animal!!!
We were going away for three days and didn’t have anyone to come feed our senior dog and our cat. Found Ashley from a Facebook group. I am so happy we found her. She was amazing with our senior dog. I am really picky about how he is taken care of and she was perfect. Can’t recommend her enough. If you need someone definitely give her a call.
Ashley is amazing with our small dog. We are not comfortable leaving our dog with any kennel but Ashley makes us feel at ease! Will continue to use her in the future!
We have had the opportunity to get to know Ashley and her supportive crew for our golden doodle Sox. I must say that when we leave Sox behind, we are never riddled with the usual guilt ("he's going to miss us so much, etc"). We literally drop him off and he jauntily trots right up to Ashley's front door without a look at us as we depart. He's super happy there, and that tells us that Ashley is providing a safe and happy place for our little guy. Totally recommend!
Ashley is absolutely amazing with our yellow lab rescue dog, H. New environments can be stressful for H, but Ashley makes her literally feel right at home. Ashley sends us pictures of H curled up and sleeping on the couch or snuggled next to the nearest human, just like she would be at home. Having a reliable pet sitter that our dog loves gives us peace of mind when we travel and we are so grateful to have Ashley nearby.
Ashley is amazing and very knowledgeable. We used her for training and she really listened to the issues we were having and was so reassuring that she could help us. We were at a critical point of overwhelm with our “rescued” pup and her boot camp training turned everything around. She is incredibly compassionate and intuitive to dogs and humans alike which makes her an absolute gem and lifesaver to our family. Our dog clearly both loves and respects her. She is available to us ongoing as small issues arise and her expertise and care has been invaluable. We can’t recommend Ashley enough!
Ashley is awesome! She helped train my deaf dog Gulliver and he stays with her whenever I go out of town. She keeps me up-to-date with photos of him playing with his friends as well as lounging in her house, so I always know he is in good hands! I highly recommend her services.
Absolutely the best pet sitter!!!! Right at Home Pet Sitting took time and care with each of our fur babies. Sent pictures and updates daily. Which let us know how they were and we got to see them every day!! This is the ONLY pet sitter we will ever use. Thank you for helping and loving our babies like your own!!!
Katherine Wickum showed up to our home for a puppy training consultation and we were suppose to start training the next week, but she didn’t show up and has not responded to any forms of communication. If this is the way she treats her customers, then she shouldn’t be promoting her business!! I assure you that if you had texted me, I would not have posted a negative review. I’m glad that you were able to find the time to respond to my google and Yelp review, but couldn’t respond to any of my text messages or reach out to me directly. Take care!
