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!
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 was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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!
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.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
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!
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 !
Hope and Julian were great sitters for our cat. They are easygoing and communicate in a timely manner. Our cat seemed very happy and our home was clean and in great shape upon our return. It was great having Julian and Hope here and we highly recommend them for any sit. Great people!
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, $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!
Pet Vacations has been THE BEST EXPERIENCE for our puppy Tucker since he was 6-mos-old (he's now 8-mos-old). He gets so much playtime outside with others that he would play well with (not all dogs are the same demeanor!) and gets so much attention from Owner Lindsay Stark and her staff. We are so, so happy we found a good place for Tucker to have fun with his friends and other humans besides us. Lindsay gave me daily updates for Tucker's first time and these wonderful pics. We highly recommend Pet Vacations. 🙂
I went camping 4th of July week and while I was out of town, there was an issue with where my dogs were staying and I needed immediate help. I called and explained my situation with Pet Vacations and she was amazing with helping me out last minute and during a busy week. My two dogs were in a stressful situation and I was worried about the change of location stressing them out more but I was put at ease by the text and picture updates of both my dogs playing and having a great time. They go out several times a day to play and run and even got to make new doggy friends to play with. I will never use a different boarding facility again!
We recently had Lindsey at Pet Vacations take charge of our previously never left without us 3 1/2 y/o labradoodle. She’s our baby and of course we were very cautious with who we’d trusted with her. We met Lindsey at her location and she showed us around. Mollie, our pup felt very comfortable so we had Mollie do a 24 hr complete day at the board and care. Mollie came back in great shape. Now we feel more comfortable with leaving her for a longer amount of time knowing she’ll be well taken care of. Thanks again Lindsey for your caring support and hope to see you again soon.
Coco loves going here on vacation! She makes friends every time she goes. Staff is very friendly. Anything you need or a question you may have, they will be there!
My dogs love going to Pet Vacations and the staff is always professional and caring. Over the years on the rare occasion when we’ve had to take our dogs to another facility, they are apprehensive, and show stress, especially if we have to take them to a place a second time. However, they are always happy to arrive at Pet Vacations and run right in the door!
Another great stay! It is so nice to go away, and know that my dog is being cared for by a compassionate, knowledgeable provider. I never have to worry about her and know that she’s being well cared for. Thank you, Pet Vacations!!!!!
We had a trip to Yosemite planned and found out we could take him on the trail we planned. Called up a day prior and they were more than accommodating for the 2 nights. Brodie seemed to have enjoyed himself. You cannot beat the price and convenience in respect to going to Yosemite from Sacramento.
This is such a fabulous place, so much room to run and play and when I’m taking Wilson here for his vacation and when we turn onto the road Wilson gets so excited cause he knows he’ll meet a friend or some friends for the time he is there. The staff is so caring and loving to him every time he stays here. This is definitely a two thumbs up from my family and especially Wilson. Thanks for your personalized caring for Gods creatures. 👍👍
First time we used Pet Vacations. We have a finicky dog and hate leaving him. The person there when we dropped him off was really good with him and made us feel good about leaving him. They let him out to play on his own instead of group play. Our dog seemed fine when we picked him up when usually he comes out wining and crying like they tortured him.
We've been boarding out pets here for at least 15 years. We know that they're well taken care of and get plenty of exercise in the doggie play yard. Lindsey has been our fairy dog-mother through a couple of adoptions. Highly recommended.
Emily is a God send for nervous fur mommas (and dads’) I’ve never left my little Ike with anyone but family, so I was very apprehensive leaving him when our entire family went on vacation together. We did a meet and greet with Emily and her fur family and I was put at ease. Throughout our vacation she sent me daily updates and pictures of Ike which made me feel so much better knowing that he was being taken well care of and loved. Her rates are more than reasonable for what she provides and I plan on using Comfy Paws for future drop offs and extended vacations. You can be rest assured that your pup will be absolutely well taken care of when they are in her care.
We had a fantastic experience with Emily - both of our dogs were well taken care of the whole time. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and tailored care to all needs she identified. I loved the regular pictures she sent - it put us completely at ease with leaving our dogs in her care. We will absolutely call her again for any dog sitting needs. Thank you thank you!!
Emily was so wonderful with my dog over the weekend! Very communicative and sent me lots of photos! It really helped me feel at ease while being out of town. I will absolutely be using her in the future.
Emily and her family are wonderful! My dog just loves her and her sweet dog. Emily takes really good care and sends pictures. She is willing to work with me and my schedule fairly and promptly. I’m so grateful to have a loving home to have my dog boarded when I’m away. I couldn’t ask for anyone better!
Emily was so great with our two dogs while we were on vacation. Her communication was awesome, and she even sent us pictures and videos of our dogs so we could see how happy they were. Our dogs loved their time at Comfy Paws! We highly recommend it!
Emily is a true animal lover. She understands that our dogs are our children and is happy to send updates throughout the day. My dog Josie loves to spend time with Emily and I just know she is well taken care of when she goes there. I just wish there were other dogs there for her to play with, that's the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5.
Emily is so wonderful! I always get updates on how our pup is doing. He is so happy when he stays with her.
I am so grateful to have found Emily! From the initial ‘meet and greet’ we knew she would take excellent care of our 1 year old, high energy pup! She kept me updated constantly over our 10 day vacation and put my mind as ease to know our pup was being loved and cared for. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who does not want to board their fur babies in a large facility, but wants to know they will continue to be loved and cared for in their absence.
Comfy Paws has been taking care of our Sadie for several months. Sadie loves to go to Comfy Paws. We know this because of how excited Sadie gets everytime we drop her off. She gets walked several times a day and she comes home tired. Picture of tired Sadie included.
Emily is a great dog minder. She’s cared for our big dog many times. We never feel guilty dropping him off with her as he LOVES going there. She’s also super responsive and great at sending pic/video updates.
My doggy had such a great time he didn't want to come home. I know I can rest a sure that my KiKi is safe there at pet hotel. Had a great stay and a nice bath. Home safe and sound. Thank you Jill and Antoinette. Appreciate your care.
I can’t say enough good things about this place! Antoinette treats each one of our dogs like her own ! She patiently takes all of our calls And provides us with great updates regarding our pet’s well being. There is a veterinary office right next store and she doesn’t hesitate to contact them for any health concerns of the pets she takes care of. She spends time with each one of our pets to gain their trust and to make them comfortable with her. We trust her and highly recommend this pet boarding facility! Judy Turpin
Our local rescue boards several dogs here regularly- Antoinette and Jill are so caring! Family owned and run.
My dog loves this place he has been boarding there now for some time. When he enters he is all wags and he happily goes right up and jump up on the counter. He is in a great mode when we pick him up too, these ladies really care for their boarders as if they were their own! I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a pet sitter. Oh yeah just let you all know our boy is a 90# German shepherd/ Pitbull mix and so no dog is to big for them.
My cat Muffin has stayed here now for over fours years. Pat and Alice are great to work with. Great atmosphere very large and clean pens for cats with a lot of toys to play and climb on.
we left our cats here for three days, the kennels were big for them , and each one had a climbing tree. clean. Our cats will be staying here from now on. very calm atmosphere for them, thank you
Our 5 month old puppy came home with infected bloody wounds on his throat from being attacked by another dog or dogs. This was almost 2 years ago, but I still feel like it’s worth mentioning because of the severity of the injury, the negligence in caring for my puppy’s wounds, the fact that we were never notified that it had happened, how long-lasting the effects of this incident have been (permanent), and because they never acknowledged in any way or took responsibility for what happened.
I always take my dogs here. They are always so nice and take good care of my dogs
Very kind and receptive to animals and dogs get plenty of exercise as well.
Clean pens, very friendly, and gave a good deal after hearing our circumstances. I will definitely be trusting them with my little guy again.
Our dogs are big and a lot to handle and Paws Inn does ab amazing job! Our dogs can't wait to get out of the car when we pull up and they come home just as happy! They send us pictures often. We don't live there anymore but I would HIGHLY recommend!
We had to leave our 2 dogs for an extended stay (3 months) after our pet/house sitter fell through at the last minute. Our dogs were very, very well cared for while we were gone. I am so grateful for the caring staff! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we were finally able to make it back home :)
We called on a Wednesday searching for a place that could take our dog Thurs-Sat morning during spring break. Everywhere was full and the Paws Inn called us back as they had found a spot for him knowing we really needed it. They took great care of our boy and he even had another large friend to play with during his stay!
The staff was great!!!! We left our two little guys with them for 3 days. First time ever boarded them. We called everyday and they gave us updates saying they we're fine. So thanks Paws Inn!!!! Great job!! Rick and Dacy
I left my three dogs in the inn for 9 days. they took very good care of my dogs . They came out healthy and happy and they were all safe while I was away. And I have a husky who is hard to keep. Thank you paws inn
Tillie our 8 month old Lab loves it their. We do play day and over night stays 3 or 4 times a month. Recently remodeled. Indoor/outdoor kennels. Heated and cooled. Reasonable rates. Friendly staff.
Paws Inn has been nothing but wonderful, the staff is awesome and they treat your dogs as if they were their own. Their pricing is very reasonable, you can't beat it. Just all around an awesome place to take your pooch. 😊
We've tried a few places to board our doggo when we can't take him out of town with us, and Paws Inn is where we take him now. The staff is friendly, and greets him by name when we arrive. He always looks happy and healthy when we arrive home. 13/10 doggos would agree.
I could get my dog washed for just 25 bucks. The help is always friendly and I enjoy going there I probably would have found it if my dog didn't have an emergency and I went to Mono that's next door. While I was waiting for my dog to get fixed up I notice assignment so I walked over there and talk to them. This is where I get my dog washed from now on
They were able to fit our puppy in for boarding during a last minute trip while our normal (in town) boarding facility was remodeling. So thankful to have thought to look in Sonora
Bonnie cared for our 2 dogs while we visited Yosemite. They were both super happy to be there even though they are very different personalities. Our older dog needed to be kept calm due to an injured hip and Bonnie did a great job. You can hardly tell she is injured. And our younger dog got to play to her hearts content! Thank you Bonnie for being here and providing a safe and fun environment for our dogs!
We boarded our Pitty with Bonnie just before Christmas for two nights while we explored Yosemite NP and it was a great experience. We were a little worried going in, as a few days prior to our trip stay our pup suffered a pretty bad leg sprain and we were concerned she might injure herself further during puppy play. Bonnie was awesome, and even sent us a couple of email messages during our trip to let us know that our dog was doing well, which we really appreciated.
Very impressed with the care and love. We visited Yosemite with peace of mind knowing our shih tzu was in good hands. Dog heaven
Bonnie is amazing! She took excellent care of our pup! Great price and close to Yosemite. Our pup left happy! We will use her again! She even worked with out pick up times too!
So glad to have found this place. Left my pup, Milo here for 4 days while exploring Yosemite and he had the best time in the large yard and in Bonnie's care. Bonnie made me feel so at peace with trusting my pup in her hands. Great communicator, she had everything confirmed a month out and already has our booked for the next time we are returning. Better than any kennel or dog hotel I've ever found. Thank you for everything!
We did a last moment daycare when we were visiting this area for our doggo. The owner was extremely kind & loving. She took care of our doggo Milo very well & accommodated changes in our schedule very gracefully too. We felt happy & safe leaving our doggo. We 100% recommend this place
Bonnie took great care of our Josie. About 5 or 6 dogs getting along. When it gets hot, Bonnie brings them in. Both days when we picked up the dogs were inside, not kenneled just hanging out. If you want to do something and doggie can't go, this is worth the extra time and $$.
Bonnie is a very nice, trustworthy person and you can tell she loves dogs a lot. Your pup will be in good hands with Bonnie. We would highly recommend her!
Best place to kennel your dog on Groveland/Yosemite. Bonnie takes excellent care of our dogs, been using her service for over a decade and always reliable, trustworthy, attentive and caring. Highly recommend!
Best boarding place ever. Bonnie was great and able to to get my little Zoey in on short notice. I felt very comfortable leaving Zoey there for a few days while we enjoyed Yosemite. Bonnie made the process easy and I would definitely take Zoey there again. Highly recommend Big Creek Boarding. Thanks again!
Mary has been there for us in the drop off a hat. My husband requires treatment in SF and we literally have given Mary just hours notice that we need her and she never hesitates to be there. It's nice not to have to worry about my fur babies with her. They're in excellent hands. And she sends me pics of them which cheers me up. She also goes above and beyond with specific things needing to be done at the house (specific lights on, checking mail, garbage can day, etc.) I highly recommend her services, she's been incredible.
Mary watched our 7 cats while we were on vacation, and she did an amazing job! I got pictures of all kitties each day so I could see that they were ok. I could tell that she was nice to them because in the pictures, they really liked her. They enjoyed her company very much. She also made a photo collage of each kitty for me as a nice gift. It gave us a piece of mind to enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend and will definitely use her services again in the future!
I feel so fortunate to have found Mary to provide care for my dog Doorstop while I am at work. She deeply cares for animals and is super reliable. I feel very comfortable and at ease, knowing that she is there to help. Doorstop loves his walks with Mary!!
Mary is the best sitter! She is very attentive, professional, affordable, and send me tons of update pictures so I didnt miss my kitty too badly while I was away.
If you are looking for a reliable and professional pet sitter. Look no further! We used Mary many, many times over several years and were never disappointed. The dog always went away with us but kitty stayed home and Mary visited daily, keeping Kitty fed and watered and loved! Sometimes we even got videos of Kitty’s play time. Although we no longer have our sweet old Kitty, we cannot recommend Mary any more highly! If you love your cat(s), you will love Mary! ♥️
We had Mary watch our cats and fish while we were gone on vacation. We are so thankful that we did. One of cat's became ill and Mary took her to vet for us, dealt with long phone calls and wait time. She kept us up to date on her condition through text messages and videos. She basically saved our cat's life and we owe her a debt of gratitude. She took special care of our ill cat and the others... We truly appreciate Mary and the service she provides...
Finding someone you trust to take care of a pet while you’re gone tends be stressful and difficult. I have a rescue cat who is a shy and nervous little guy. Because of his disposition, I didn’t want to board him and instead wanted to keep him home in a place he was comfortable and familiar with. Between his and my separation anxiety, I was really anxious about finding someone who would take care of him while my husband and I went on vacation. I am so beyond thankful I found Mary. Her initial house visit immediately put me at ease. We sat down and discussed everything, from the scheduled visits right down to every little detail. Her attention to detail and thoroughness of everything is really amazing. I wanted someone who would spend time with my cat instead of just “come to feed then leave,” so the fact there were options for the amount of time spend per visit was so appreciated. She also offered to take care of additional small tasks around the house while we were out, like watering plants and take out the trash, which I thought was incredibly thoughtful. I knew she was a perfect fit when she got a few pets in from my cat — without a single treat !! I knew he was in the best possible hands. Mary was so wonderful while we were gone. She sent pictures and video updates with each visit so I could see how he was doing (the photo uploaded is one she sent me). She was communicative, responsive, and professional, and I am thrilled to have a go-to sitter whom I truly trust. I cannot recommend Mary or her business highly enough. Thank you Mary !!
We"ve trusted Mary's care for our pets for almost 2 years She's our go to person when we need a pet sitter. Very responsible and her prices for all that she does most importantly to us when we're away our peace of mind is all worth it. We would highly recommend Mary to all our friends & family.
We highly recommend Mary’s Pet Project! Mary came in twice a day for visits with our kitty, Lucy while we were away on our first get away since COVID hit. This was also the first vacation in many years that we were able to really relax because we knew that Lucy was being taken care of so well. Mary sent photos & videos & that was so much appreciated. We love that she tailored her services to our special needs. She was so great with Lucy. It was the first time that Lucy was so calm when we arrived home. Mary also took care of the neighborhood kitty that sleeps on our porch. She made certain to give our home the ‘we are at home’ look & even placed our garbage cans out. Thank you Mary for your kindness, professionalism & a wonderful pet sitting experience.We will definitely use your services again!😻
Our cat is very affectionate and likes attention and being around people at all times. She does not like being left alone. After moving to California 4 years ago, we were searching for a pet sitter. The Humane Society of Stanislaus County recommended Mary's Pet Project after hearing good things about her. She deals with all sorts of animals. My wife and I travel often, sometimes overseas, and need reliable visits to our cat. I was impressed that Mary maintains detailed files about every pet, including Vet and medication info if required. Mary texts updates, including videos of a kitty who is happy at receiving regular visits. She deals with all pet related cleaning, grabs the mail, and takes care of lights and other household adjustments. I would highly recommend her services.
Murphy’s Pet and Home Sitting was great! Diane is the universe’s best! My cats were injured by dogs and Diane took very good care of them. She updated me every day and sent pictures. I felt so secure being away.
