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.

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
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.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
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.
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!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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, 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!
Best groomers around. So glad I had to make the change, a true blessing! Rita groomed my Maxx who passed, still grooms his friend Rosy. She's always gorgeous after her spa day. The atmosphere and friendliness of this facility is awesome.
i couldn’t believe how affordable they were. i have a nervous german shepard and they did great with her. she’s back to smelling fresh and looking beautiful
I took Saweetie my standard poodle(45lbs) for a full service and it came out to $120, which is a great price in my opinion given she’s an outdoor dog and gets filthy. Rita went above and beyond and gave me suggestions on cleaning her ears at home as well as maintenance tips. My girl came home tired from playing with the pups and knocked out which was a bonus🤩I will leave before and after pictures but they don’t do her justice lol. Overall, great place, good customer service and great practice as well as quality service.
Best of the Best!!! My golden doodle (Stella) LOVES coming to her spa treatment and I trust this friendly staff will exceed my expectations. What do I love about this place: - Terrific staff and owner - friendly and knowledgeable - How well customers pets are treated - Communication, if they notice any pet issues you will be notified - Friendly pets are allowed “play time”with each other- love this, instead putting in a cage when done - Super Clean - Full service business- they also offer sleep overs - Very important, they love dogs and will treat your pet like there own 4 years a counting, I drive from Ripon to Bubbles & Bows in Escalon because they are simply the BEST!!!
Very friendly people work here. At our last groomer in Arizona our dogs barked non stop. But at bubbles and bows they were having a good time with other small dogs.
Great ladies that work here. Down to earth and not robotic like a lot of places can be. The dogs seem to enjoy being there and get excited when someone comes in. My dog always leaves looking fresh and smelling amazing. A great spot for a small town establishment.
Have taken dogs here multiple times, always a great experience. These ladies love the animals like their own. Alexis is my groomer, an incredibly sweet human.
I cant say enough about this place and the ladies there. My dog absolutely loves going to Bubbles & Bows to get her hair done. The quality of grooming is top notch and you wont find a nicer staff.
I have been bringing my pets to Melissa at Bubbles N Bows for years and years now! Everything from old senior dogs that need a lot of extra care to cats with long hair that are very difficult to handle! I am inspired however, today to write a review because I got a new puppy that needed a lot of coat, care and grooming, and he was very naughty and spoiled and Melissa took the time to train him to be groomed and took great care to ensure his experience at her shop and with grooming in general was a positive one. Thank you Melissa for always going above and beyond doing exactly what my pets need and for doing a beautiful job
I love this pet salon & so do my dogs! They have so much fun getting to interact and play all day with other pups. They do a great job on doodles! Mine always look so pretty when I pick them up!
Best place to board your dog in Modesto! + grooming as well
I started bringing my Maggie here as soon as she was fully vaccinated, so about 4-5 months, to help her socialize, and she absolutely loves it. They group the dogs according to size and temperament and watch them closely. The staff is always happy to see her, she's like Norm walking into Cheers 😂 They have healthy meals and treats, or you can pack their lunch. She comes home EXHAUSTED which is the best part!! UPDATED to include pics of Maggie and her bestie, Gambit, as puppies, and grown ❤️
Service is amazing. Our Macie comes home "Happy" and very well taken care of by everyone! It's truly a Top-Notch!!
Lisa Moore and her incredible staff have taken care of my dogs for more than 20 years. The work they do is nothing short of amazing. My dog struggled with boarding after being home so much with us during the pandemic (prior to the pandemic , he was fine), and Lisa personally made sure that everything was done to make sure he was comfortable and stress free. She emailed me letting me know how he was doing, and made sure his stay was successful. He made friends and had a good time. It allowed me to enjoy my vacation. I can’t say enough positive things about Top Notch.
I unfortunately had to move out of Modesto. My dog absolutely loved the girls there. She had been going since she was a puppy. After 4 years, we had to say goodbye. On her last day, all the girls had gotten a basket together of goodies, toys, clothes, magnetic pictures of my dog, and a card with all their warm wishes and goodbyes. I have the basket and i pull a new toy out every other week or have her wear a new piece of clothing. She smells the basket and remembers her friends there. I honestly was sadder about picking her up that last day her than I was about moving. I so truly appreciated everything they did for my little girl. Your dog would be in absolutely good hands with this establishment.
My dog Max has had such a wonderful time meeting new dogs when he was boarded there two different times. Thou they haven't learned my dog doesn't need to be in the slow and steady group. He's very energetic. Needs to be in a group with more energy.
Our dogs went for grooming. 70 lb Goldendoodles. They came home looking great. Everyone there is very friendly and our boys didn't act traumatized like they normally do after grooming. Highly recommend
We have boarded our dog twice in Modesto with them and both times he comes out with no collar on when we pick him up. They also have him marked as no treats or extras both times which must be an ongoing miscommunication we thought we cleared up the first time but apparently did not. Both times he goes in freshly groomed and comes back smelling like dog urine, including his bed. My primary concern and why we won't be using this boarder again is because he has to stay in the cage all day except for potty breaks and a short, very short, period of 1:1 play which we pay extra for that isn't nearly enough for a healthy happy pup. The first time boarding him was prior to being neutered so I understand why he can't be with the group somewhat, however there should be enough supervision that this is possible or some other comparable accommodations or free play/roaming area. The second time they literally barred him from group play PERMENENTLY because he was mounting and "wouldn't take no for an answer" and removed his "suite's" mats because "he's a shredder." So now he has no activity, and minimal interaction, and he's acting out - obvious and predictable dog behavior. He's also obviously attempting to establish his place in the pack albeit in an undesirable way but 1, it was his very first time with the group, 2 they removed his collar which helps to calm him down, 3 no attempt at positive reinforcement for successful group play was made. It's his very first experience with the other dogs so he obviously needs some support to be shown the proper behavior not being barred at 18 months old from group interaction "for all future stays" due to mounting. It just shows a general lack of expertise and effort on their behalf, in addition to poor communication since we only find these things out upon pick up. It's like he's recovering for 2-3 days when he gets home after a 3 or 4 day stay and it's just too sad. We feel like irresponsible pet owners going from 2 walks a day and vigorous active play and exercise to this.. and we have to sanitize everything (including him) when he gets home. Their practices may be the most economical and easiest but they're not what's best for the animal. They are nice at the front desk, thougha dn we appreciate the report card. It's just not for us or our pooch.
They are so good with my difficult dog. A lot of groomers won't groom him because he can get aggressive. They are so patient and take their time with him so he feels safe and let's them make him handsome without getting scared.
Absolutely the best place for grooming. Our 13-year-old border collie was groomed by Sam, and she did an amazing job 👏. The staff is so courteous, and all the groomers who have taken care of our girl have always done fantastic. I highly recommend Top Notch for your grooming needs for your pups! Wish I could get a better picture but she is camera shy . 🤭
Great service! Super friendly and great with my fur baby!
