Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
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.
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!
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 is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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.
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, $15/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!
My dog LOVES Forest Acres! I am so happy I found Chelsea - she is amazing with all the dogs and I can tell she loves what she does. There is so much room to run and play. My pup is so happy and exhausted when I pick him up - I have a huge smile when I leave every time!
Our pup had a great extended vacation at Forest Acres Dog Stay. She was treated as if she were in her own home with room to roam and get comfy. The animals are vetted well and our golden retriever had plenty of fun friends to play with during her stay.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars. We are so lucky to have Chelsea and her Forest Acres Dog Stay. Our pup enjoys her time at Chelsea’s so much that sometime it seems like she doesn’t want to leave. Chelsea is always quick to respond and is so great with the dogs. Her property has a lot of room for the dogs to run and play together. We love getting videos and pictures of the pups from Chelsea while we are away. I highly recommend Forest Acres Dog Stay!!
Chelsea is incredible! First off, I was expecting Chelsea’s home to be kind of a scrappy and smelly…. Um it is immaculately clean, but also totally dog friendly. I had no idea anyone could take care of my dog as good as she does. Huckleberry (my golden) loves going to her house! It’s really a vacation for him. He isn’t sad or stressed when we leave. He gets special treats like deer meat for dinner some nights, he gets to sleep near Chelsea (which he loves), he has other fun dogs and toys to play with. Plenty of room to run around and play. Chelsea sends me pictures and videos of Huck and how he is interacting with the other dogs. She is a dog lover and it shows. Chelsea is a really special human, so happy I happened to stumble upon her number when googling dog sitters. She will be our forever dog sitter as long as she will have us. Forever customers.
My dog had a wonderful vacation of his own at Forest Acres Doggy Day care. He got to be in a lovely home and treated like family. This was his first time being away from home while we were gone and it was like Doggy camp and he had a blast. Thank you Chelsea
An absolute gem of a place! Chelsea took wonderful care of our two dogs while we adventured on our bikes for the day in Sandpoint. The property is so well set up, the dogs got to play outside and cool down inside. Chelsea was extra sweet to our nervous older dog, which was so appreciated and made us feel safe and comfortable leaving her for the day. We will 100% be using Forest Acres again for any boarding needs if we find ourselves in the area. Thank you, Chelsea!
We left our 11 month old golden retriever with Chelsea for 10 days. Each day, Chelsea would send us videos and pictures of our girl playing with the other dogs. Her communication with us was top notch throughout the entire stay. When we picked up our dog, she was bathed and so clean! The yard is perfect for the dogs to play, and the house is set up in a way that the dogs all have space to play and sleep. We will definitely be using Forest Acres again. Thanks so much, Chelsea!
We have used Forest Acres for both doggie day care and overnight boarding. Cookie loves Chelsea and all the dogs that are there. This was the fist time we have boarded our dog and Chelsea made us feel at ease, she runs a very well organized business and is awesome with dogs.
Chelsea and Forest Acres Dog Stay are the BEST home-away-from-home EVER! We could not believe how happy and comfortable our pup was with Chelsea and all the other dogs, some hers and some visitors also. Chelsea is clearly a dog-whisperer and is in tune with each dog individually and knows what’s good for the varying play groups as well. The property is so well maintained and perfectly set up for your dog’s enjoyment, which we could see in every photo and video, not to mention our dog’s smile too!! We cannot say enough about how awesome Chelsea is!!
What a wonderful place for a dog. Our dogs had a great time. We will definitely be back. We highly recommend Forest Acres Dog Stay.
Erik cared for our 2 dogs for a month while we travelled out of the country. He is a fantastic dog sitter and is very comfortable handling dogs and took our pooches on a number of hikes and adventures with frequent pics and videos of their outings. We would highly recommend Erik and Powder Pups and he took great care of our dogs and home.
Erik Yingling of Powder Pups. Took great care of our dog Prince while we were out of town on vacation! Took him on walks, played with him and made sure he was well fed. I highly recommend his dog sitting services!!
Erik did an amazing job with our 3 big dogs, and all at the last minute! We were in town for a family wedding and suddenly found ourselves in need of doggie day care for 3 dogs over the course of 2 days. And it was 4th of July! Erik agreed to take all three dogs at the last minute, and he did such an amazing job. He took them swimming, playing, napping in the shade. He sent us pictures every few hours and reassured us that the dogs were in good hands. He even brought the dogs to us at the end of the day. If you want quality, compassionte, and professional dog care in Sandpont, call Erik @powder pups of North Idaho! I will be forever grateful to Erik for saving our trip!
Erik was awesome. We were in town for a celebration of life and called Erik to drop off our yorki-poo. She has never been separated from my husband and I but Erik made the drop off easy and stress free not only for her but us too. He sent pictures and update of what they were doing. The whole experience was easy.
The best dog care! I always feel confident that my dog is happy and well cared for.
Style N' Stay is absolutely the perfect place for my cats to stay when I need to board them. There was ample room for them play and lots of "hiding" spaces should they feel the need to catch a cat nap. Each room has its own heat lamp to keep everything comfy and cozy. And, Jessie is just the best care-giver! This was a very positive experience. Thank you, Jessie!
I left my lab with Jessi for 6 days and it couldnt have gone better! She has taken care of animals for so long and truly cares about them. Best price and best care!
Jessie is very knowledgeable as well as wonderful! My dogs have been groomed by her and boarded for 14 yrs and it is the only place I would take them!
Very nice people. I will use it for washing my dogs and avoid the mess. They supply everything.
