Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
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.
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
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.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
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.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
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!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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, $20/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!
Our experience with CV Pets was truly exceptional, thanks to Dianne, who provided outstanding care for our four dogs, including two seniors that required extra attention and love. Her dedication and compassion made our vacation so much more enjoyable, as we could relax knowing our beloved pups were in such capable hands. Upon returning home, we were greeted by happy, healthy dogs, a testament to the wonderful job Dianne did in looking after them.
We have relied on Jennifer, Caren, and the entire team at CV Pets to take care of our two little guys for almost two years now. Whether we are away for a weekend or a long vacation, we always have peace of mind knowing they check in on them. They are reliable, trustworthy, and experienced. And I appreciate the updates after each visit and photos so I know how they are doing.
Janine took wonderful care of my fur baby while i couldn't walk her, training her and coming early in the day to avoid the heat. She was a great friend to my dog and I.
I was very anxious to find someone reliable to take care of my cat Leo while I was out of town, and I am so grateful I found CV Pets! Jennifer and her team were so communicative from day 1, making me feel like they cared about Leo just as much as I did. The daily visit updates with photos just made my day! I am so thankful to have found them, and I truly find myself at ease now when thinking about taking another vacation because I know they will be there help. I highly recommend them to all pet parents in the desert! :)
Jen is an amazing person and animal lover. She is not only a wonderful caretaker but also a highly knowledgeable trainer. She goes above and beyond!!! Words that come to mind to describe Jen: devotion, reliability, efficiency, trustworthy. Call her, you won’t regret it.
We have a 17, 7, and 1 year old. And over the years we have had the opportunity to use various teams in support of our pups when we are not at home or traveling. None of them compare to CV Pets through Jennifer and her team. We have been using them for over a year now. They are so attentive and loving to our dogs, but also so very respectful of our home. I believe anyone will be as pleased as we have been. Thank you CV Pets !!!!!
Update: whenever I travel to the area now I have moved I bring one of my four dogs with me. Since I am traveling for work Jen and her team always are where my beagle daisy goes. Jen is responsible, on time and provide excellent service! Jen has walked my dogs many time’s and has even house sat for them. She is a wonderful reliable and responsible pet caregiver. The dogs are her life and cats as well. It can get hot out here in the desert one day it was 120 degrees she wouldn’t take them out. Instead she used wee wee pads abs gave them extra ice water. And made sure they were cool. I appreciate the extra effort. Recently my fiancé and I travelled from Pennsylvania to visit friends in Coachella Valley. Our dogs Lucy and blackjack stayed with Jen and they were great
Jen & her associates are my go-to folks, we are so lucky to have them taking care of our furry family. We use them for pet sitting services. They come by twice a day promptly, stay for a while, and take great care of our big Mastiff - who can sometimes be a challenge. But her gang has a handle on even our complicated circumstances! We have also used her housesitting services, they left the house immaculately clean. Jen is organized and efficient knowledgeable and on top of it! I’m a veterinarian so I’m pretty picky about who interacts with our dogs, they are awesome!
Jennifer always let me know exactly when she would arrive, took excellent care of my dogs, was very reliable. It was apparent that she truly loves dogs. And the dogs loved here. Got to the point they’d recognize her car pulling up and be ready to run to her. I’d recommend CV Pets anytime!
Jennifer walks our miniature schnauzer three to four times a week. Our dog loves her and Jennifer clearly loves him. She is very trustworthy and she does a great job of letting us know how the walk went. Our dog is 14 and she does a great job of being sensitive to his capabilities. I would highly recommend CV Pets.
Madiisyn is fantastic for the pet and the owners. She a rare professional that cares, on time and completely trustworthy. When in Coachella my doggie demands that we use Sit, Stay, Relax! I 100% agree!!!
Madyson is terrific! My 10 year old labradoodle is so relaxed when she comes to stay. Lucca is very calm due to her personality and attention to his well being. I never worry about Madyson...my last trip away the power went off in my house...she figured out how to reset everything, and keep his environment normal. She provides me the ability to enjoy my vacations as well knowing my buddy is so happy. She is a 6 out of 5!
I would highly recommend sit, stay, relax! I have used her services multiple times and have a few more trips upcoming. Madisyn has taken wonderful care of my dog and kitten, they always seem happy to see her. She is a warm, caring, responsible person. I have referred her to others who have also had great experiences. Communication is excellent with updates and photos always coming. My house is always immaculate when I return. It is hard to leave my animals at home when I travel but I am confident that they are well taken care of. Her service is stellar!
We have used Madisyn a couple of times and both went great. First time she stayed at our place to look after Sutton, second time he stayed at her place with her two dogs cause they all get along great and had a blast. We had a bad dog sitting experience a few years ago and she renewed our faith in dog sitters! We have already booked her for a few more jobs and look forward to continuing. She loves pets and you can tell! Highly recommend. Dave and Georgia and Sutton Palm Desert, CA
Madysin is absolutely the best cat sitter I have ever encountered in my 17 years of owning cats. The thought of leaving our beloved senior cat with a sitter has always filled me with anxiety, uncertain if they would be equipped to handle any situation that may arise. However, Madysin's exceptional professional background as a vet tech, coupled with her gentle and affectionate approach, has instilled in me complete confidence and peace of mind when entrusting our cat with her during our vacations and work trips. I wholeheartedly recommend her services without reservation.
From the moment we met Madisyn I knew we found our dog sitter. We had some horrible experiences with past dog sitters so were skeptical at first but she proved within seconds that she was reliable and loving towards them, just an automatic ease. Her background as a tech, quick responses in text, and sending us pictures and videos allowed us to enjoy being away rather than be constantly worried about what was happening at home. She is a 5+ star of a human and dog sitter!
Exceptional service! Without a doubt Madisyn will provide your pet with detailed and loving care. My cat Cali loves Madisyn! As someone with 2 Desert tortoises who require specialized care and attention I can have peace of mind knowing she is knowledgeable in reptile care. When I’m gone she always makes sure to communicate with me every detail of her visit with my pets. Highly recommend!!
I’m so glad I found Madison! She has been critical in taking care of my fur baby and in a pinch she always makes time for us. She treats my dog like her own. I have had her do drop ins, walks, and stay at my home and have been very happy with all her services.
Luna and Koda love Madi💕💕💕 She takes excellent care of them! She always goes above and beyond😊 I definitely recommend her!! Dog walks and overnights. …
