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.

"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
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.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
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!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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 $ 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!
We drive from Paris to kennel our dog at Red Barn! Very worth it!! Our sweet Cavalier does great there and Sandra shows her love like she was her own! Much better than a crate at a vet! We will never go anywhere else! 5 ⭐️
We rarely need a place for our pup, but when we do we come here. Friendly staff, large play area, and frequent updates of your pet is why we love Red Barn.
Red Barn Kennels is the only place we trust to board and take care of our furry loved ones! The owners and staff are super friendly and always treat our animals like their own. Great prices! I would recommend their services to anyone!
Sandra does an excellent job with the small dogs! My young dogs seemed to enjoy their doggie daycare day and we are looking forward to their return visits!
Friendly staff. Took great care of my pup! Would definitely recommend this kennel to everyone looking for quality care for their pets. They take great care to provide the things your pup needs while your away. Noone does it better.
I. Was very impressed with the friendly people and the excellent care of my little baby. I encourage anyone to use them for many purposes. I will be using their doggy daycare services also. I appreciate their love and compassion for everyone's fur babies
Great experience with Red Barn Kennels. Kirk is the best and he takes great care of our animals. We have used them many times.
I have a mini pin and this is the best place to take him. Heat in winter air in summer. Play area for smaller dogs with a covered area to.get out of sun. A mini spa time
Great place for our Mya! She was very well taken care of. We will definitely board her there again. Thanks!
When we go on vacation we trust our fur baby to Red Barn Kennels. She enjoys her staycation and comes home healthy, clean & smelling good!
Best place to get your babies groomed.. They will be taking care of like family....
Our babies have been boarded here a few times and I never once felt like they were not in more than capable hands. In fact as happy as my dogs were to see me they weren’t just ready to run out the door as they do at other places.
Our dog(s) have been boarded here for over 18 years. Mads literally runs inside when we arrive. Great haircuts for her, a golden doodle, too!
Lucy has stayed there many times over many years. She always goes in wagging her tail and ready to go! Makes me feel so good leaving her. They are doing things right!
We have taken our furry family members here through the years and they have received the best of care. In fact, we're planning on taking a trip before long and we will contact Mrs. McLeary again to see if she can watch our baby for us.
The very best place ,so thankful for Kathy taking care of my dog.
Very Good with our dogs. Grooming is very professional and feel very comfortable leaving our dogs for boarding.
Kathy is the best! Great care and thoughtful owners.
Very nice lady and my dogs enjoy going all the time!
A great place for your pet. Cathy is wonderful and Tommy does a good job..
Great place, great people. Prices are fantastic and they really give your fur baby the attention & care they deserve. The grooming is great. I highly recommend them for both grooming, boarding and doggy daycare.
Left my baby Brody with them for 5 nights. They took great care of him and I highly recommend them for your pets needs.
Our dogs actually love to go there! Great place to watch your dogs and care for them when you need a break or have other things that you need to do. Highly recommended
My cats were boarded there six days. They were fine, clean, and acted normal when I picked them up. They were also fed well, not hungry when we got home but if course, ate anyway! It was nice to see them healthy and know they were well taken care of. I definitely recommend this boarding facility. It was clean, quiet, with no dogs barking or cats meowing. BTW, Dr. Boling recommended this facility and he was wonderful too!
Very friendly staff that are kind and sweet towards the dogs. The place was clean and they were very open to you looking around to see how things are run on a daily basis. They do grooming boarding and daycare. I would definitely recommend.
Maya is so fluffy and clean they took such good care of her! We will be back again for a regular bath and we found a new vet too!
They take good care of my four dogs. Great with animals and people!
Kelly and her Hubby, couldn't been more nice! My Pup Sadie, just loved it! Thank you so much and Great Job on the detangal.
This is the best place to board animals. The ladies that work there are amazing with them and give you updates on your babies while your away. Hands down the only place I feel 100% comfortable leaving my babies with when I have to go out of town!
Just picked up my Yorkshire terrier, asked for a puppy cut. She was shaved! Not for sure if you know this but you can not shave these dogs. Their fur protects their skin, therefore now I must worry about her getting sun burned. She looks like a Chihuahua. Very disappointed in service and very surprised as the last cut you gave her was a good one?
Best dog boarder in the area. Kindest staff. Comparable prices. Owner is so nice and so is the assistant Manager. They saved my trip when my Rover backed out. They have a customer for life. They love dogs.
This place is great! They took great care of our dogs! The yard is huge, and our two dogs went out to play together without other dogs in the yard. The rooms are super clean, and they have great hours.
Lisa was AMAZING with my baby girl Pearl. I have never felt better about leaving her somewhere for an extended time. I'm not sure who was more upset when I picked her up to leave Lisa or Pearl. Lol we will definitely be going back to board at Happy Pawz. Pearl gives her 5 stars!
Lisa took amazing care of our dog while we went to the beach, and she made sure to send videos and updates as well. If we need to board him again, we'll definitely be bringing him back.
Today was my first time bringing my fur baby! They were so amazing and welcoming! My baby looked so amazing after, we have found a permanent groomer! Thank you all!
Lily was groomed and Tanya did a wonderful job.
Absolutely love this place. Tator's first time away from home. Lisa and her staff took great care of him. Super nice facilities .
Such a great new facility with a caring owner. Each fur baby is treated like family.
Great place for your furbabies to stay and have peace of mind knowing they are treated like family.
Super sweet great place
