Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
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!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
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. ⭐
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
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!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
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, $23/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!
Wonderful concierge personalized dog boarding! Keren also schedules a meet and greet before your dog is in her care! Meeting her put me and my pup at ease! Keren and her family are awesome and your pup will enjoy their time with her!
We had the best experience with Keren and her dog care. It is in her home and our dog felt much more comfortable there then locked in a metal kennel with concrete floors. Our dog was happy, and even more well-behaved when she came home. But we knew our dog loved Keren when she heard her voice at the local dog park and went bounding towards her looking for attention. It was a great experience. We will go back.
When you need a safe loving place for your furry baby look no further! Keren the owner, is absolutely amazing! She works with all types of dogs from shy ones to very boisterous. Thank you Keren for making our dogs feel like apart of your family! We will absolutely cone back!!
Keren is a nice woman who truly cares about her clients.
Best place ever for doggies! Well managed fields for them to run and chase and play. Great supervision and care! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 …
Stephanie was amazing with my new puppy Josh. He required a lot of play and attention and Stephanie has a heart as big as the sun! She is the sweetest with animals and enjoys giving them love, play time, walks, whatever they may need. I trust my pet's needs to Stephanie and recommend her with an enthusiastic double thumbs up!!
Hannah Weaver has taken my 80# American Bull Terrier from a walking disaster to a walk in the park. She taught my big girl to be patient and calm, and I’m very grateful to Hannah for her expertise. I highly recommend Hannah for dog walking and dog sitting 🐶❤️ …
In the spring, I needed a dog sitter for our 2 year old Australian Labradoodle and had the good fortune to discover Aptos Dogs. Hannah is an amazing young woman with endless energy and enthusiasm. Our dog is in love with her and jumps at the chance to go with her any time I schedule her. She is responsible, on time and sends pictures after each walk so you know where they’ve been on any given day. She always ensures our dog is clean before coming in our home and has fresh water. We love Hannah and highly recommend her and her business - you won’t be disappointed.
Let me start by saying Stephanie is in love with dogs, every type of dog, everywhere she goes!!!I have seen her befriend dogs that were not known to be very social, and it is the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen! She has cared for our dogs overnight, as well as just for the day… in either case, they were treated like family and did not want to leave! She is responsible, hard-working, and kind! I could not think of a better person to care for your dog, and Aptos is lucky to have her!!!!
Hannah's great love of animals is evident in the way that she took care of my 14 year old Shih Tzu and my 20 year old cat. She put their health, wellbeing and comfort above her own and took care of them as if they were her own pets. Due to the fact that both of my pets are elderly, there are quite a few prescriptions and other extra care measures that Hannah had to perform while we were gone. Hannah did these extra care measures without any hesitancy and sent me pictures daily of my fur babies. I would not hesitate to recommend Hannah or use her again next time I need to travel and leave my pets at home.
Stephanie has taken our golden retriever out a few times now and our puppy loves her! She gets a great walk and comes back exhausted. Stephanie is professional, kind and shows our puppy lots of love and affection. I’m really glad we found her!
Aptos Dogs is a wonderful pet-sitting service created by Stephanie, who absolutely adores dogs! Her style is so engaging and kind. I highly recommend her to care for your loved one(s) while you're away!
I have two older dogs that can require a lot of patience. I went back to work teaching so I needed someone I trusted to watch and walk them . Stephanie was amazing and my dogs love her. She was easy to communicate with. Highly recommend her !
Stephanie has been such a big help to me and my dog Oso. She gives him lots of love, attention and time. She goes above and beyond to give him what he needs when I’m away at work. She takes him on fun outings and she was able to bond with him very quickly. Oso is clearly relaxed and well exercised on the days that he gets attention from Stephanie. I’m especially grateful for her professionalism and kind attitude. -Rachael M.
You MUST hire Aptos Dogs!!!! I fell in love with Steph, the founder, the moment I met her, as did my little doggie. Ya know those people that are just magnetic?…yeah, that’s her. I felt so safe leaving my little twiggy with her. She sent pictures and updates to further put me at ease. Honestly I don’t think twiggy wanted to leave her! I will be recommending her to everyone I know.
