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!
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
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!
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
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!
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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 20$ per visit, $15/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 dog runs right in excited when he gets there. Great communication! Kind and caring staff. When one of our dogs passed away right before her stay there, the owner and staff gave extra love and attention to our other dog, including sending text updates and pictures of how he was doing whilewe were away. Appreciate their empathy and going above and beyond! Will always be our kennel of choice!
Nothing but great things to say! My dog LOVES going for daycare & overnight boarding. He is treated with kindness, has friends to play with, & comes home happy- exhausted. The staff is great - professional, courteous, & always smiling.
They take all breeds and seem capable of handling difficult or aggressive dogs, although mine are not so I can’t confirm that. The only reason I’m giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the number of vaccinations they require to board. In particular the TDAP and leptospirosis vaccines seem like overkill to me, but I’m certain they do this to avoid getting sued by some overdramatic pet owners, but I’m also not a vet. Gizmo says thanks as always!
Our doggies have been going to Rover’s Ranch for 6 years, averaging 5-6 stays a year. I whole heartedly trust them with our dogs and will not take them anywhere else. Howie and Harvey are always so excited for their stays! Thank you for taking such great care of our furry babies ❤️
Rover’s Ranch is the only place we’ve ever boarded our dogs, every interaction has been positive with staff and the owner. They’re professional, and our dogs have a great time. I know they’re well cared for and get loads of play time, which is important to us.
So very happy with our decision to board our dogs with Rover’s Ranch! The facility is small and the owner is deeply involved. You can tell she truly loves dogs and cares for them as if they were her own! Our dogs had a blast and never appeared stressed or neglected. It’s very easy to check in to see how your fur baby is doing. Thank you for taking the best care of Moose and Keeley, we will definitely be back 🐾
This place is just the best. I have had to do a lot of weekend travel over the past few months, and was worried about what to do with my energetic puppy. The staff at Rovers Ranch immediately put my mind at ease, they were friendly and caring, and always accommodating despite my frequent travel. They always welcomed my puppy with open arms, and I can tell that he is well cared for, because every time we arrive he bolts in, never looking back at me. He LOVES to play with other dogs, and he is matched to dogs that are his same size, as well as energy level, so he has a blast and is worn out by the time I pick him up. I really highly recommend this place to anyone looking to board or take their dog to day care.
We wouldn't take our pooch dude ANYWHERE ELSE!!! We've been taking him there for a couple of years now for this trips you just can't take the dog with. They are so great and he Loves it. They give a report on your dog, the dogs get a lot of play time and their own space to rest. They allow belongings to stay with your dog to make them feel more comfortable. Amazing and will continue to use.
This is the absolute BEST kennel that I have ever taken my dogs to. I’ve taken my dogs to “upscale” places and I’m fairly certain they don’t do what they SAY they do. My dogs seem neglected for attention and come screaming to me when they know I am there to pick them up. At Rovers Ranch the staff was very friendly and they didn’t hesitate to give me a tour, most larger kennels never offer to show you behind the scenes. It’s hard to get in last minute anywhere, but when they can they are more than willing to schedule you for emergency stays! This is the third time that my German Shepherd and Husky have stayed at Rovers Ranch. THIS boarding place actually takes your dogs outside to play and they do not charge extra for it. The owner clearly understands and loves dogs. I do not get the screaming and charging towards me anymore. Now they won’t even come walking to me, I have to drag them out of there. Thanks Rovers Ranch!
We went on vacation for a week and left our dog at Rover's Ranch. Our dog was very happy there. We are actually taking her back this week for a doggy day care day. The owner lives on the property and she is very nice. She is always willing to help you out and make sure your dog is taken care of. I will be taking my dog here for all our kennel and day care needs!
