Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

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!
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
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!
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.
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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!
Our lab had a great time at Rosey’s! Shara met me for a meet and greet, showed me where my dog would be staying for boarding, and also booked a daycare day to ensure our dog would do well before booking a longer boarding stay in a new place. She answered all my questions and I never felt rushed. I felt the facility and quality time spent with our dog was above my expectations - a large fenced-in yard, an air conditioned barn where kennels are at, lots of doggie toys, and special one-on-one play time appear to be the norm at Rosey’s, I received photos and videos of our dog daily! The only negatives I can think of is having earlier drop off times for boarding would be helpful and this business is cash only and you pay in full before the service is completed. I get it, so whatever, but it’d give the customer peace of mind having a paper trail and it would be convenient to pay by check or card.
We just picked up our Husky from Roseys kennel, after spending a week in key west. I am beyond happy with the services she offered. She sent us updates everyday with photos and videos. Our husky never once looked sad. He got to interact with other dogs. This was our first time boarding him, and first time using Roseys. We will be back for sure. Thank you Roseys kennel for taking such good care of my handsome man while we were gone ♥️
I had seen Rosey's Kennel & Rescue recommended many times in a local community group. I contacted them for nail trims for my 2 cats and my dog and was able to schedule it for the next day! She came to my home which was nice and got the job done without any problems. Nice people and a good price. She was so good with my pets. I will definitely be scheduling all future nail trims with her.
The first time that I called to see about getting my dogs nails trimmed, Shara was able to do it that same day! The price was even better than I expected. She only charged me half the price of what the vet charges! Shara is such a sweetheart and she did an exceptional job with my Karma girl. I will be going back and would highly recommend her services to anyone! :)
We had Rosey's watch our dog Hannah last weekend for two days and was very happy with everything! Shara came over the week before for a meet and greet with Han and us and it went great. We got lots of pictures and videos of our Han while we were away and she looked so happy! Very glad to know she was in good hands while we were away. Rosey's does a great job making you feel like your pets are cared for and their prices are great. Will definitely call again!
I've always been leary about who I let watch my dogs because of issues one if them has had with fear of other dogs. Roseys came very highly recommended so I decided to try out her doggy daycare. I am SO glad I did!! Shara is amazing with animals. She shows so much love and care to her clients. She's helping my scared dog get used to other dogs again and they love pulling into the driveway knowing they get to play all day rather than sitting at home. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs boarding, or even a day away at daycare! She sends me pictures and videos all day so I know how they are doing. The prices are more than reasonable for the service and peace of mind she gives!!
Recently booked in home pet sitting and I am beyond impressed with their service! Shara went above and beyond taking care of my dogs. She sent updates and photos every day and treated my pups like they were her own. You can really tell she cares about the animals. I highly recommend Rosey’s to anyone!
I randomly met Shara at a store when I asked her about her jacket advertising Rosie's. She gave me a business card. Several weeks later, I found myself in need of an at home sitter for 24 hr care. I called Shara and luckily she was open and could fit us in. She came for a meet & greet visit and my 2 dogs and felt very comfortable right away. She's was very very good with them. While sitting, I was sent pictures of them playing and resting. My anxiety was instantly gone! My dogs thrived and happily were able to stay at home! As far as my house, Shara left it picked up and clean....you'd never know she was there. What a pleasant surprise. DONT HESITATE TO TRUST THIS WONDERFUL LOVING YOUNG LADY. She's very professional and yet down to earth caring, loving person. I thank God I ran into her that day at a store..I have several more out of town trips this year and will not hesitate to use Roseys Kennel and Rescue. Would give her 10 stars if I could! Grateful our paths crossed
We had a Great Experience with her! My dog is almost 8yrs old and has NEVER allowed anyone to trim his nails. She did it with little to no problem! Thank you for trimming all 3 dogs without hesitation. We will keep using her services!! Thank you again!! B. Green
I am temporarily housebound and Rosey came to me and clipped my dog’s horrendously long nails and for such a reasonable price! I’ve already set up a schedule for keeping them trimmed!
Paws-A-Playin' is the best. It is amazing to see how well a business can be run when it is the owner's passion. They love every pup who comes to stay with them. My daughter discovered this pooch paradise 5 years ago, when her golden was a puppy. I started bringing my Norfolk terrier when I moved to the area. They love it! We have had them go to both the day camp and the overnight stay and have been very happy with how well our dogs were cared for. The prices are competitive as well. You can't go wrong with Paws-A-Playin'.
Paws a playin has been a wonderful place for my dog to go. Jamie has been so welcoming and my dog is so excited to go every week! Highly recommend!
Paws-A-Playin' is simply the best! We have had Jamie and Randy watch our puppy several times now for doggy day camp and sleepover pawty's and I just can't imagine taking her anywhere else. They are affordable, but most importantly, our girl is so loved and well cared for during her stay. We know she plays with the other puppies ALL day long because when it is time to pick her up, she falls asleep in the car before we even leave the driveway and is exhausted the entire next day! I would recommend Paws-A-Playin' to anyone. Thank you Jamie and Randy!
Our Lab Mackinac loves going to Paws A Playin. They take such great care of her like she is their own. I LOVE looking at the photos on FB so I can see how the day is going and I enjoy reading the end of the day report cards. Jamie and Randy are great with communication and great to work with. :-)
Amazing, Wonderful, Caring, Loving, Kind. These are just a few words I would use to describe this absolutely amazing place! The people are beyond wonderful & our dog did so well!!! She loved it! Her adjustment took time but they took the time to work with her, texted me & the most amazing part is they post pictures so you can see your baby! 😍 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Recently switched doggy day cares to Paws A Playin and I am soo happy I did. I have one super energetic dog and one dog that just wants to nap and Jamie and Randy have both treated my dogs like king and queens. We are so blessed to have found Paws A Playin.
Miss Jamie and Mr. Randy are amazing. Nowhere else will your dog get this amount of playtime and love from the owners of a daycare place!
Best place ever!!! My st bernard loves to go here. As soon as the car door opens she darting towards the stairs to go play. I love the Facebook/ Instagram photos they put up all throughout the day, And they are very reasonably price!
Amazing with animals my dogs had a amazing time playing. Jamie and randy are dog lovers who treat your pets like their own would hugely reccomend
Jamie & Randy are amazing! They are so passionate in what they do and love every dog they care for!
Julie and her team took the most excellent care of my dog for the past 3 years. They came by almost daily for afternoon walks and the odd overnight stay, and it became a highlight of my day to receive a daily photo and update on my dog's adventures with them. Cannot recommend them enough for their amazing care!
I have used Julie and her team for at least 20 visits over the last several months. They are excellent. My cats are always happy when I get home (a very good indicator. They give great updates on what is happening while I’m gone. In addition, the app they use for scheduling, payment and communication is so convenient. I really appreciate their service and am so happy that I found them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Prancing Poodle to anyone.
Julie and her team have been incredible! I had to start a new job that required a long commute and took me away from my lunch walks with my dog. Dog daycare fell through and I needed a solution in just a couple days. Julie quickly met with me and my dog for a consultation, and helped me sign up for services immediately. Siouxy, Mary, and Julie have all treated my dog with care far beyond my expectations! They walk her, play with her, give her fresh water and love. I couldn’t ask for more and truly grateful I found a trustworthy team to look after my dog on such short notice. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for pet sitting, walking, or boarding services! * the app makes scheduling and paying for the requested pet services extremely convenient.
Prancing Poodle is a step above, or probably many steps above, other pet care services we’ve tried. Julie, the owner first came over to check out our place and our kitties, followed by a visit by Jacob, who would be providing the care, to also meet our boys and go over their care. The pet sitting while we were gone was outstanding, with Jacob really taking the time to get to know our kitties. He also sent thorough updates of each visit with some fantastic pictures. We finally feel like we can relax a little with regard to our pet care and better enjoy our time away knowing our babies will be well cared for. Everything can be set up, and paid for, through the TimeToPet app, and the updates come through the app as well. Very well run and professional organization. Highly recommended.
We recently moved from out-of-state with our two dogs, so finding a pet care provider was a big deal. We checked around with several different services and kennels before choosing Prancing Poodle. It was a great decision. We get incredible care and support for our 4-legged kids during the week when we're at work, as well as any time we travel. The dogs love Ms. Duke, which is a big deal to us. They're exceptional judges of character, after all. She is one of the most knowledgeable pet care providers I have ever met, and some of her care advice has been invaluable. If you want the best care for your pets when you can't be there yourself, then I highly recommend Prancing Poodle.
I don't normally take the time to fill-out surveys, let alone give a perfect score... but in this case it was fully warranted. Julie has found a wonderful niche for pet owners that care about their pets like their own kids. We couldn't bear to put our dog, Pepper, in a kennel for our son's wedding. Julie came to our home to walk and feed her and give her some companionship. She was such a great communicator and so dependable that we were totally at ease for this family event. Thank you Prancing Poodle!
Julie at Prancing Poodle Pet Care Services watched our 4 dogs while my husband and I were on a 2 week trip. It made our vacation much more enjoyable knowing that our dogs were in such good hands. She was very thorough in finding out everything about our dogs prior to our departure. During our trip, we received daily reports, which was reassuring. The house looked terrific upon our return and the dogs looked well cared for. I can't recommend PPPCS enough. Thank you, Julie!
We are incredibly grateful for Prancing Poodle as they have connected us with the most fabulous pet sitter, Sally! My husband and I have never needed pet sitting services before, so with our 3 & 5 year old Australian Shepherds, this was a new experience for all of us. The entire process was easy, and we feel confident that our dogs are treated well and taken care of while we are gone. Sally does drop-in visits 3-4x per week, and on occasion, has watched them for weekends here and there at our home. The dogs love her, she always sends updates/pictures, and most importantly, she always treats them with love. Thank you Prancing Poodle and Sally, we would give more than 5 stars if we could. We’d recommend this petting sitting service to anyone.
Julie has been providing exceptional care to my four cats for almost 3 years. Two of my cats need especial care due to age and other health conditions. She makes sure that all needs are covered and provides extra attention to my senior cat who is 19 years! I love her daily updates confirming cat feeding, box cleaning and their individual behavior. My cats love her. I will recommend Prancing Poodle Pet Care for any pet owner who wants professional and loving care.
Julie was wonderful. We have three animals; dog, cat, and house rabbit and were away for a month. Her level of care, service and professionalism were first class. Our rabbit needed medical care while away and we were at ease knowing she was there taking such good care of our 'crew' (and tending to our house plants). She drove our dog to daycare a couple of times a week, and our 'people' cat was well attended to. We were very impressed with Julie and would use her again without pause. She sends daily updates (notes, pics) and does what she says she will do as per her information given to clients. It was lovely to come back home to a clean house with happy, well looked after animals. Have already recommended her to a friend, and would unequivocally recommend her.
