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.

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.
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!
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.
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
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!
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!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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 $ 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!
We have been going here for a while now, and I’ve always been pleased with the way our little man looks. However, this last groom was the best groom he has ever received period! I couldn’t have been more impressed by the way he looked! Elisha, the newest groomer did an absolutely fantastic job making our little man look so dapper❤️ it was also such a nice change walking in to see two new smiling faces ready to do their job. Both ladies came and loved on our little man when we first got there to help ease some anxiety. When I got there to pick him up a couple hours later he had a treat and was nice and secure in the back with Elisha which I love seeing. Thanks guys for taking such great care of our little man and making him look so handsome❤️
I boarded my 3 year old lab with them for a week. I opted for a go home groom as well. I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. The staff was super accommodating and truly cared about the pets. The booking process was smooth and super simple. I got lots of photos and updates on my dog while we were away to help appease my missing him. He came home clean, happy and so tried. He clearly had a great time. We will definitely be going back. I love all the extra options they offer to make your pet more comfortable during their stay. Edit to add: one year later of grooms and nail trims and stays and my review stands. Excellent care and service and am so pleased with Big Blue Barn!
Larry and Jordyan are so professional and wonderful to work with - we have giant breed dogs which makes it hard to find a groomer in our area. Big Blue Barn is definitely our go-to groomer from now on! Their prices are great, and they made our dogs look and smell amazing. Highly recommend!!!
The staff here is awesome! They do a great job with grooming and I would use them without hesitation for boarding if I ever needed to. Frank runs for the barn when we come here and is always happy to see his friends!
My 17 week old goldendoodle was professionally groomed for the first time today (7/26/2023). I love him fluffy, so he was washed, dried, and trimmed on his face, feet, and butt. He's such a handsome boy. Laura did an awesome job with him. We will definitely return. Pictures - right is before and left is after.
I want to recommend and thank Larry and Laura. I have an 85 lbs. Strong Bernedoodle that does not want to cooperate with the grooming process. My former groomer said she would no longer take him. I contacted Big Blue Barn. The owner and groomer took time to discuss my issues and did a meet and greet groom. They gave me some advise and are going to work with me. He even looked good with the 1 st visit and I feel completely comfortable with them. You know how we are with our fur babies.
Larry and his gang took great care of my Sadie. She's scared of almost everything and most men, but she warmed right up to him. He took the time to ask about her habits and things to watch for. We will be back!
Great professional customer service, on top of making my pup look absolutely amazing every time he is groomed!! I can’t recommend this place enough! They truly care about the well being of your dog!
I would highly recommend Big Blue Barn for grooming services! The facility was immaculate and inviting. The owner and groomer were gentle with my dog and allowed time for her to adjust. Not only that, she looked amazing when we picked her up and was having a great time playing ball toss with the groomer. Love this place and thank you!
Highly recommend! I called this morning inquiring about a nail trim for my nervous..older girl. They got her in within a couple hours and took absolutely wonderful care of her. Truly the best experience we’ve had! We will be booking a full grooming very soon.
Wakin Paws is the best! Our Cooper loves it there!! He is in the best hands! We love knowing he gets ticked in at night with cartoons and they always make sure he gets his rest/ nap time! Our boy is a lover and they make sure to take time to give him his cuddles!! Love that I get updates and pics of him living his best life!! Here a just a few they have sent when he is there!! Such a happy boy!!
We just had our first experience with Walkin Paws at the beginning of March. We have three pups and one of them is nervous around strangers. Kelsie was very reassuring and everything went smooth. She sent pictures of them every day and kept us informed on their diet and activity. So happy to have found a "vacation home" for our dogs while we are away. Thank you Walkin Paws for a great experience.
We used WalkinPaws for the first time with our Sunny girl and Kelcie was so amazing. She sent daily updates with multiple pictures. Sunny loved all the friend pups and looked like she was having a blast in all the pics!! Will definitely send Sunny there again ❤️
My girl, Bailey has recently started going to daycare and let me tell you she loves it! I am so pleased with how great Kelsie, the owner has been. She is very sweet and energetic and quick to answer any questions via text or email or even through her app which is easy to use! I am so glad that my girl is part of the WalkinPaws clan! ♥️ Jenny
Walkinpaws are the best!!! I know my dogs are loved and well taken care of just by the way they greet Kelsie &gavyn! I couldn’t be more happier than I am with their service!! I can leave my dogs with them and not worry!!! And that means a lot!
We started using Walkin Paws at the beginning of the summer for drop in visits for our two dogs and we just love Kelsie. She is professional, flexible, and extremely reliable. Not to mention, our dogs love her! She always sends us pictures of our fur baby's on every visit as well, which I love. I would highly recommend !
Our boys just got home from their first stay at Walkin’ Paws. They are absolutely amazing and the dogs loved it there! Most importantly mom and dad loved it more! One of our boys ended up having an upset stomach during the stay and Kelsie was wonderful. She contacted me right away and let me know exactly what was going on and talked to me the entire time giving me updates and even went to the store to get him some special food so we could help calm his stomach down and he could feel better and enjoy his stay. I got constant updates and pictures letting me know they were having a good time and enjoying themselves. They really do go above and beyond for your pets. I highly recommend them if you’re going out of town. I never felt concerned while we were on vacation I knew the boys were in good hands.
We LOVE working with Walkin Paws! We recommend clients who are looking for in-home boarding and every client we send is always so happy! We are so thankful to have such an amazing company to partner with, who has a small team of passionate dog people like us! It truly makes a difference for us and our pet parents
I use Walkin Paws for my golden retriever and he loves Kelsie! Kelsie is professional, kind, and trustworthy. I am so glad I found someone who I can trust to leave my pup with. I know he is taken care of when he is at her home. He also gets along with the other pups and has so much fun!! I highly recommend you board your pup with Kelsie at Walkin Paws 🐾
i only use walkin paws!! Kelsie is amazing and so trustworthy!! i never worry when leaving my dogs with her, plus the smile on their faces when i leave them tells me everything i need to know! i get so many pictures of all the fun they’re having. She’s able to accommodate their needs! i won’t go anywhere else!
