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.

Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
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.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
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!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
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.
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, $14/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!
Alex & Wolfsong Petsitting have been the BEST. Alex truly loves your fur babies as if they were his own! I am so incredibly lucky to have Alex helping us out when we have to leave the furbabies behind. He has become more than a pet sitter… He is Smokey & Peaches’ “Uncle Alex” … They love Alex so much & we are appreciative for his help. Even in a pinch, last minute, he’s helped us with Drop ins🐾 ❤️🐾
I have two senior chihuahuas who can be aggressive with strangers. After struggling to find someone who could handle them, Alex was a lifesaver. He came over and got to know the dogs before I went out of town. While I was gone, he stayed with them and provided regular updates. It didn’t take long before the dogs were literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him. He did a great job taking care of the dogs, but also went above and beyond as a housesitter. I’d highly recommend him.
Love love love!!! I have used Wolfsong Pet Sitting for years and would change my travel plans rather than use another pet sitter! My pets have adored Alex so much. Compassion, empathy, love. Truly an A+ pretty sitter who goes out of his way to create a perfect experience.
Alex is the BEST! We never worry about our pets when we are away. We get daily updates and photos which we love. I highly recommend services!
We so appreciated the care that Alex brought to our two big dogs!! He stayed in our home and took wonderful care of the home and our beloved dogs. too. We relied on him when our dogs got older and needed specific foods and medication. He understood them and met their needs perfectly. When one of them needed medical care while we were out of town, he took him to the vet, stayed with him and contacted us immediately. We are so grateful for his care! I would emphatically recommend Alex to anyone with a pet. He is very caring and thoughtful and responsible. What more could you ask for?
Alex consistently gives us the best dog sitting service. He responds quickly, always shows up on time and sends us pictures and video while we're gone. We have 3 dogs of different ages and sizes. We much prefer to have someone come into our home. Alex has been our sitter for 2 years and has sat for us 6 times for a little as an overnight to an entire week. We have peace of mind when we are gone and know Alex is in charge of our babies.
Alex is an animal whisperer! He took such great care of our cats. In addition to the basics of feeding and litter box cleaning, Alex spent time with them and sent pictures so our minds were at ease. He is the best!
I just had the most selfish thought. You know when you discover something so special that you want to tell everyone, but at the same time, you don’t really want to share? This is how we feel about Alex! With Alex’s help, we are able to leave town, or even the country knowing that our dogs could not be in better hands. He walks them, gives them their vitamins, feeds them, sends pictures of them in cute little birthday hats—but mostly he loves them and treats them like his family. You can completely entrust your animal family and home to Wolfsong Petsitting!
Wolfsong cared for our dogs with compassion and kindness. We felt very comfortable having Wolfsong get to know out dogs, Alex brought treats! He was very professional and appropriate in our space, staying overnight. Lovely affect and connection with the dogs. Highly recommended!
Alex is one of the kindest and most gentle people I know. Your dog and other pets are in good hands with him!
My family and I went on vacation for 2.5 weeks. For the first time, we had to hire a service to take care of our cat, Athena, because we were going to be gone for so long. I was a little nervous, but Paws Amore did a fantastic job. Melissa sent photos every time she visited along with a quick blurb about how Athena was doing. Upon our return, Athena was very happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Paws Amore for pet sitting needs.
The team at Paws Amore is amazing. They are responsive, flexible, and so lovely with my fur baby. One time, I had a camera on in the house and I watched Linda come in to see Jasper - not only was Jasper over the moon to see her, but Linda was just as excited to see him! She never looked at her phone the entire time she was with him - only to send me a text message with a photo of Jasper! I've had a great experience with this team and couldn't recommend them highly enough. I wish there were 6 stars!
Paws Amore offers reliable and attentive services that one should expect from a professional petsitter. Every sitter that has visited with my cats has been communicative and friendly. They deliver what they promise and I never come home from a trip worrying about how my cats have been care for.
These walkers are Great! My main walker Linda is so sweet and any time she has had a substitute they have been just as great. Very loving and they send me a text with a picture of my puppy and cat every time they visit. They are very flexible with my ever changing schedule too. Look no further you have found the Best animal helpers in Smyrna!
We had been using the same pet sitter for years but found we need more structure for Georgia and Maci. Paws Amore is the best, very personal service that you can tailor to fit your needs. With older pets it is nice to get daily updates on how things are going, what they are doing and just know that when we are not home they have their own "special friend" visits and really a vacation too.
What peace of mind to know our precious pets were being played with, fed, and cared for during our vacation last week. We got a text every time from Jonathan with photos of them, and it we could see they were content. He did a great job and when we returned home, the floor was clean (our dog always leaves a trail of food around her bowl), the water and food bowls were food, and he had left our newspapers and mail on the kitchen table. Thank you so much!
I have no concerns about my kitties when traveling now, I find them since July 2018 and during summer and winter break let them take care of my two kitties. After each visit I receive photos of my kitties and it comforts me a lot. Only one complain is the office told me they will take away the litter but actually he didn't, might because of mis-communication
We love Paws Amore Petsitting! We have used them several times for our cats and they are always professional and keep in touch with us the entire time. Can't say enough good about them!
Being able to truly enjoy our time away, knowing that Dash was in good hands made all the difference. We got daily text updates and when we got home it was like we were never gone. Dash acted as though she barely missed us! Very reassuring and gave us peace of mind. We will use Paws Amore again and again.
I'm a sitter w/ Paws Amore, and I love my clients, and their fur babies! Dena and the rest of the team are thoughtful and always on top of whatever happens, and really appreciate their employees and customers. I love working with them!
