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.
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.
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
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.
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her 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, $18/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!
Underworld Kennels helped me with puppy training with my German Shepherd so when I learned that I needed a major back surgery and would be unable to care for my GS, I immediately thought of Rae and Tilly. I did not want to simply "kennel" her. There were some behaviors I hadn't been able to get on top of that needed a professional trainer. Shortly before surgery, my husband also took turn for the worse and was placed in hospice. I don't want to go into too much detail, but when I needed help, Rae and Tilly were there. When I was able to pick up my dog again, I was confident that I could bring her home without worrying whether I could handle her while I was still healing from my surgery. Tilly spent the time to explain what she had worked on with Dodee, kept me updated with photos and messages, and worked with me to make sure I was able carry on with her training. My family was blown away when they came to visit and instead of a hyper, out of control dog, she was well behaved and enjoyable to have around. I am so impressed with both the level of training my dog received but also the compassion and caring that was shown to me as I went through the hardest time of my life. I have a dog I now absolutely love and I feel like I have an extended family because of the caring and compassion they gave me.
Before Cinnamon went to training with Tilly we were ready to give up. We tried everything and nothing worked so decided to try the 2 week training as a last resort. She came back a new dog! She listens to commands, is playful and no accidents! Thank you so much for all you have done - now we can enjoy her. She thinks she is a lap dog though. 😉
A few months ago, my family adopted a little Shih-Poo, Coco, from the shelter. At the initial meet-and-greet, he was a perfect fit. However, a few weeks after we brought him home, he began showing some challenging behaviors: growling, barking, jumping up for attention, and occasionally nipping. With strangers, he was especially reactive and would jump on them, tug on their clothing, and even nip them. We thought grooming might help, but he became so anxious he would lunge and bite at the groomers. One groomer even suggested we consider putting him down. After some consideration, we decided to invest in professional training. From the very first session with Tilly, we knew we had made the right decision. Her expertise and confidence put us at ease, and she answered all our questions. Week by week, we saw Coco’s behavior improve. Tilly sent us video updates and photos, showing the progress he was making. She went above and beyond, providing CBD oil, adjusting his diet, buying him sweaters, and even getting him groomed! We knew we were in good hands, but we had no idea she’d be this amazing! Today, Coco is back home, and he’s like a different dog! We feel so much more confident taking him out in public and have already seen a huge improvement in his behavior. He’s overcome years of habits in just a few weeks, and best of all, we have ongoing support and all the tools we need to help him continue progressing! If you feel like your dog’s behavior is beyond help, I can’t recommend UKDT enough. Their expertise, patience, and genuine care make all the difference. The cost is definitely worth it!
I dropped my 15 week old lab puppy off for a two week board and train and it was well worth the time! Tilly is a great trainer and set us up to achieve at home! He came back with much better manners and socialization, walks on a leash like a champ, and reeeeally improved on his kennel training. Tilly provided updates every couple of days and has been really supportive after he has come home by answering questions and giving advice. Would 100% recommend Underworld.
Best training experience so far. Tilly was fantastic, and took amazing care of our dog. He was with her for two weeks, and he came back to us a noticeably different dog - for the better. Tilly truly set him up for success; introducing him to new environments and challenges, and worked with us to address the things we were seeing. We felt very confident in the safety of our dog the whole time. At the end of the two weeks, Tilly trained my husband and I, and gave us new and better tools to continue the work with our dog. Could not recommend Tilly and UWK enough. Thank you, Tilly!
Raelene did an amazing job taking care of my lab during the two week board and train program. She gave updates of his training, nutritional advice, and even took care of a medical need he had while he was there with no issue at all. He was able to socialize with new people and dogs. We met in public on the last day of training, and she gave me hands on training and answered all of my questions. She really helped set him up for a better future.
I had a really great experience with sending my dog Milo to puppy boot camp with Raelene! Milo is a smaller dog and he is quite scared of his surroundings including people and other animals. Before sending him off Milo couldn’t go outside or be around anyone or any animal without tucking his tail and shaking. At the end of the two weeks Milo was able to walk around a public area with his tail wagging! Allowing people to hold him. This has been such a great experience and Raelene has even been helping me keep up with Milo after the fact which is amazing! 10/10 recommend!
Rae and Tilly are both amazing! We live in Southern Utah and Tilly was willing to meet us so we could do the board & train for our German Shepherd - we are very grateful, couldn’t be happier. They provided frequent updates, along with pictures and videos, of the progress. When we picked our dog up we got thorough instructions and guidance on how to continue the training, I’d recommend UKDT to anyone!
Dropped our 3.5 month old Dogo Argentino 2 weeks ago for the Board and Train program. Tilly Thain from Underworld had the task of caring for and training Alta. All went really well and after taking our dog home she has performed better than expected! We can, with 100% surety recommend this establishment for training. We will continue Alta's future training with them and look forward to a life long friendship Thank you both, Rae & Tilly!
All of a sudden our new dog stated attacking our older female dog, who had been with us since she was 12 weeks old. It was a very stressful time, we could not understand nor stop it so we kept them separated and called dog trainers. One place told us it would be two weeks to even get a consultation. So we called Underworld Kennels who our neighbor recommended to us. They came to our house within two days, evaluated the situation and told us what needed to be done. Tilly, the trainer, took our 9 mo. old female dog for board and training for 14 days and when our girl came home, we had our sweet tempered girl back and trained better than the other two. We still have training to keep up on, but Tilly was worth every penny we paid for her training. Hands down, she is the best trainer who cares and loves dogs! We highly recommend this company.
