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.

We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
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.
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
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 :)
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
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
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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!
My dog was treated like family. I left my bigger girl here for 6 days and bought all the special add ones for her. They also have an option for a go home bath , and wow was she soft when I picked her up. I absolutely love the staff here, they really make you feel like they've known you forever. This is the best daycare and boarding in downriver in my opinion. the set up and amenities. It's just beautiful. And it's also right by the airport so it was convenient with our travel. I have nothing but praise for Halliday. I can't wait to bring my pooches for their Halloween party. Thank you for all that you do.
I've been bringing my pup here the last 2 months to prep him for boarding (which we just returned from vacation.) My pup has loved doggy day care. They are very good with him and also very re-assuring for pup parents. It was our first time boarding him for a few days and Carrie was nice enough to send me pics and give me an update on how he was doing! My dog has never been happier. I would recommend this place again and again, and 😊with continuing to bring my pup here. At least you know your fur friend is safe, and very well taken care of. For boarding the day they leave they will also wash everything that was brought with them. I thought that was really cool. 😁
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about both locations. They treat my dog like he was one of their own pets. They are always so excited to see him when he comes through the door and when I pick him up, he is always so happy. It’s hard to find a place to trust your pet with while you’re away but you can rest assured they will be in good hands at Halliday’s.
Halliday's is great! My dog has some reactive issues with other dogs, so finding a boarding facility that understands and has solutions to help make him comfortable is such a relief for me. All of the staffers are so nice, friendly and they treat him so well!
I board my puppy here and he loves it everytime we drop him off. I can only imagine the staff spoil him. We have also boarded my daughters cat here which went very well.
My dog loves it here. It is a little expensive but worth the money. He gets excellent care, and we are always comfortable leaving him here knowing he gets the best of care!
10/10 would recommend. I was very nervous to board as one is a little special needing multiple medications and they have literally not left my side in over a year due to the pandemic. My girls came home happy and clean. Staff didn’t get annoyed when I called the first day to see how they were doing. And were very polite answering my nervous questions. They even hand fed my one eyed pirate puppy because she was too nervous to eat. Will be booking with them again for future needs.
When I go on vacation, my dog goes on vacation at Halliday's! I've used them for the past 3 years and will be using them for many more. I trust them with my best friend!
They took great care of my dog and I am thankful for the updates they were kind enough to send me while I was away because I was missing my baby. They need to work on attention to detail and communication. What I was expecting to pay was already discussed over email and I thought that’s what I was agreeing to at the time of drop off but I guess I added a package on there and spent an extra $100. I also told them that my dog was on a strict diet and could only have what I brought due to allergies. My fiancé told me that she got a special treat every night any ways and that she had loose stool and then was straining to poop. I’m just glad her allergies aren’t worse and only caused gastro issues. For one dog I spent almost $550 for 10 days, and while I understand that’s a fair price for some, I did not see that the result was worth the price and is the most I’ve ever paid for boarding for my dog.
Staff is excellent and knowledgeable and care about my dog. Take great care of her and very affordable to.
The girls are wonderful! My baby loves seeing them and has a great time every time he goes! He's a 100 lb German shepherd and can be a little shy/ skittish but he always gets excited when he sees the girls. He'll jump right into their car! Toni is always wonderful about giving me updates and even sent me this wonderful picture which is one of my favorites!
Thank you, The Golden Leash, you’re amazing! The staff is very welcoming, friendly and professional. We highly recommend this place if you want a happy dog!
These ladies are awesome!!! Great pet care and grooming. Excellent bonus service -- if you're handicapped or without transportation -- they will pick your pet up and return them for a small fee!! Our big GSD who doesn't feel comfortable with anyone but us LOVES these girls. They can get him to do anything. LOL see pics. They actually managed to tire my Frenchie out at daycare and that's a feat. They love dogs and take excellent care of yours while they are in their care. Highly recommend.
The girls at Golden Leash are the best! They always take care of our pups with the utmost love and care possible. I could not recommend them more, fantastic!
Today was my dogs first grooming appointment at The Golden Leash and I can not say enough on how wonderful my experience was. From my first call to schedule the appointment, to picking her up afterwards, it was by far the best experience I've had with a groomers in my entire life. My dog has some special accommodations and they over exceeded all of them! She's also very vocal and dog friendly, so having the other dogs there was great for her. The staff was so caring, friendly and knowledgeable and the environment was just what she needs. If you're looking for a loving, caring, fun place to take your dog, The Golden Leash is exactly that! I highly recommend them and will be forever clients.
I am thrilled to share my experience with The Golden Leash, where my new puppy received top-notch training and transformed into a star puppy! I couldn't be more satisfied with the results, and I would recommend this exceptional dog training center to anyone in need of training services. From the moment we arrived at The Golden Leash, it was evident that the staff was dedicated to providing excellent service. The trainers held us accountable every step of the way, and each week brought a new training exercise for our beloved puppy. The transformation was truly remarkable, and it is all thanks to the unwavering commitment and expertise of the trainers at The Golden Leash. One of the most impressive aspects of this training center is their attention to detail. Every puppy receives a personalized training program tailored to their specific needs and learning style. This approach ensures that each puppy receives the individualized attention they require, and no training session is ever the same. It's no wonder that my puppy progressed so rapidly, mastering new commands and skills with ease. Moreover, The Golden Leash offers an American Kennel Club (A.K.C) certificate at the end of the training program, which serves as a testament to the quality of their training services. It's a proud moment for any pet parent to receive this certification, and I couldn't be more thrilled that my puppy earned it. Lastly, I must mention that the price of the training program was more than fair, given the level of quality and attention provided by the trainers. The Golden Leash has exceeded all my expectations, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking top-notch dog training services. Thank you, The Golden Leash, for transforming my puppy into a well-behaved and loving companion!
Convenient, pleasant! $25 well spent. Alicia came to my home,cut nails,brush teeth and clean ears. Happy customer! Will definitely use this service again.
I took my dog here for the first time for grooming and I had a wonderful experience! Staff was very professional, friendly and caring. My dog looks great and even got to play with the other dogs! I will definitely be taking her back for future appointments and I highly recommend the golden leash!
Omigoodness, we just love the days our pup plays with the devoted animal lovers and the pack at The Golden Leash!
They always take great care of my boy! He's a 100 lb German Shepherd who can be a little shy/ skittish but as soon as he sees that it's the girls coming to pick him up. He jumps right in their car, no questions asked. He always comes back and a great mood and the girls are kind enough to take pictures of him for me.
