Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
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.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
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.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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!
Valerie has been petsitting for me and my girls for over two years. She is fully licensed and insured and takes excellent care of my pets. She loves animals and cares so much that they are happy and balanced. She is very trustworthy and reliable, and she is also a licensed dog trainer and helped me with my new pup. I would recommend Valerie over a kennel any day!
We are so happy we found Valerie. Our dog, Everest, is 3 years old, and we have had some bad experiences with other dog walkers off of rover. Valerie is super responsible, very educated on dog behavior and knows how to respect your home! Everest looks forward to her visits and sits at the door when it's time for her walks/ fetch. Valerie has been our dog walker for over a year. If you are looking for someone you can trust to make sure your animal is safe, and your home is respected. Call Valerie.
Valerie is my pet sitter and takes care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats and does an excellent job. I would recommend her to anybody.
Can't say enough about Carla and the care my dog got. She sent me videos of my dog playing with the others each day. Never once did I worry about my pup, but instead knew she was having a great, great time and being attentively watched over.
Our dog really liked this place. It's in their home so they don't allow too many dogs at a time. Like most of the places you have to interview first but we had no problem. The staff was fantastic. We would most definitely go back and definitely recommend it.
Loving people who offer a spotlessly clean large home, have a warm hearth to curl up by when it’s cold, large open spaces indoors and out, huge gardens and run around room and security gates.
Perfect place to leave our dog for the day. He was safe and enjoyed being around the other dogs. Nice people also.
Karla is the most amazing person. Took good care of my dog. Thank you very much Karla god bless you.
Amazing
I feel bad for this review as the staff there are absolutely amazing. BUT their new hours make it just a complete rip-off. Before, you could pick up anytime on Saturday and in a pinch, could work out some sort of situation on Sunday. It’s that kind of personalized family friendly experience that we loved. Now they close at noon on Saturday, and you can’t work anything out for Sunday. So if you are going somewhere over the weekend you are forced to pickup on Monday. It breaks our heart coming home and knowing our furry family member is still in boarding and has to stay there for 1-2 more nights. As such, despite the very friendly and sympathetic staff, we are searching for a new, more practical boarding facility.
Asked them if they do both washes and cuts on the phone for my Pom as the weather was getting hotter and he needed a haircut. Was told on the phone that was no problem. Got here and they said they dont do shaves. Waste of my time. Staff was friendly and apologetic though. Still doesn't negate wasting time when I specifically asked.
Pet sitters are the hardest part about m making travel plans. These guys take the worry out of traveling..thank you for loving my fur babies while I'm away
So I just moved to fallbrook and my dog needed to stay while i went to Laughlin Nv And so they quote me for $130 for shots and $26 night and when I asked multiple people if that would be all I owed they said yes and then when I picked her up they said that the shots and boarding would be 130 total insted of 130 plus 26 a night but that I owed $53 for a physical that its it's mandatory that dogs get a physical so beware there not working on the same page, this is a great place as far as taking care of her but as far as them getting prices right good luck It's funny I was reading reviews and they say that there apologetic but don't do much well I totally agree she apologizes and offers a free bath for my dog lol
Why not take pictures of the inside maybe it’s because it’s dark and dogs don’t like it in there you think one person is going to take care of all those dog no I’m never going back there my dogs where not happy.
Great staff, when we need boarding they always accommodate us. Highly recommended.
Nice people, reasonably priced and took good care of my cat while I was out of town for a week.
My pet had a wonderful time visiting with the caregivers.
