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.

Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
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
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
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.
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.
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!
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
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.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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, $21/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!
When getting a puppy, I knew I wanted to have him go to a daycare to get out extra energy. After much research, picking Puptown was by fair the easiest decision. Knowing the love and care the staff has for these animals is unparalleled to any other. I am so happy to leave my beloved Charlie with a group of people that care about these animals. Charlie LOVES going to Puptown and we happily send him 3 days a week. Tyler and his team have the dogs best interests in site. I would highly recommend anyone to bring their dogs to Puptown!
Puptown Funk is the best doggie daycare for my Cleo girl! She comes home happy and tired from all the fun she has! The staff are amazing and know all the dog's personalities. I love that I get a "report card" about what she does while she is there and I enjoy seeing the pictures taken. I would recommend Puptown Funk to anyone looking for a fun and safe place to send their dog.
Puptown Funk is the best doggy daycare around. The staff is wonderful, the play is curated and my dog comes home not only physically tired but mentally tired too. I can tell he has been challenged to think and listen and learn. If your dog goes to Puptown Funk you won't have to worry that it's just hanging out in a pen, bored. Nor will you wonder if it just sat in a kennel all day. My dog is excited the moment we pull into the driveway. 10/10 would recommend. (I added a picture of Tonka focused on the agility course. I've already noticed he listens better since he started with the agility lessons!)
We started bringing Mack to Puptown Funk a month or so ago. He is a very energetic 15 month old golden retriever. In the time he has been going there, we have seen HUGE improvements in Mack- listening and following direction better, increased positive interaction with our family! Tyler came out to help me learn a new way to get our stubborn boy into my car. Mack looks forward to going to play (he is great at showing and vocalizing his his excitement) and he just loves all of the wonderful staff!
Puptown is a great doggy daycare. My girl Chloe goes there two to three times a week and absolutely loves it there. The handlers are awesome and Chloe gets so excited when we get there. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog.
Incredible people, incredible environment, and incredible care. What more can you say about this amazing doggy daycare! Our dog has been going there for almost a year and all of us couldn’t be happier! We are proud to be members of the Puptown Funk family!
I visited Puptown Funk when vacationing in Maine and couldn't be more pleased with their service and commitment, both to the individual dogs and to us people. As a former animal welfare inspector, I was quite impressed with their system of allowing dogs that get along to enjoy playing together, while keeping a watching eye over any potential conflicts and acting accordingly for the peace and safety of all. Of course that requires Tyler's (and each member of his staff) personal knowledge of each and every dog in his (their) care to understand the individual needs, quirks and limitations of each dog, allowing them (but not forcing them) to develop their social skills and being rewarded with the joys of playfulness and regular rest. I highly recommend Puptown Funk! ❤️
We are very happy to have our dog at Puptown twice a week! The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, and they take every care and precaution managing the dogs. Our dog absolutely loves going there, and the dogs don't lie! Highly recommend Tyler and the Puptown crew.
As a first time pup owner, I wanted to do everything I could for my baby girl. I've heard the scary stories some people say about doggie daycare but Puptown Funk has made all those scary stories seem just that...stories. The staff are amazing and they take fantastic care of Ruby for me on those busy days where I need her to be at daycare. I can't say enough good things about this facility. Ruby shakes with excitement when we turn into the driveway and she runs inside. She's greeted every morning with a warm hug from the staff and they provide report cards weekly to discuss how she did. Anyone looking for a daycare for their pup...please use Puptown!
We've been bringing our dog, Osi, to Puptown for over a year. We were excited to learn that they passed their recent inspection by the Maine Animal Welfare Program with flying colors! The thing is, Osi knows. She's well cared for at Puptown, and seems to be aware of the days she's going. She won't walk in the morning on those days - she'll stop at the car, and wait until we let her get in for the ride to Puptown. Tyler and his staff all have a genuine love for dogs and for the work they do. We cannot recommend Puptown Funk highly enough.
My dog is skittish and had never had a trim at three years almost because she used to have acerage. Now an apt dog, I went here and she is so professional and fast. No trauma, no cut quicks. In and out in 6 minutes. 10 stars to her
We have two GSD mix rescues who hate to get nail trims. One of the big pet stores in Augusta asked us not to return (dogs are NOT aggressive, just struggle). Vet couldn’t do it either - said they need sedation. I heard that Lisa was wonderful and wow- yes! Her husband soothed and cuddled while she clipped. We now have healthy paws. I am beyond happy. Recommend highly for their professionalism and compassion
I have taken my dog and my daughter's dog to Happy Tails for several years. Lisa shows her love for grooming dogs and her prices are beyond reasonable. I want excellent service and I get it.
My Wife took our Little Chihuahua to Happy Tails My Wife stayed with her while she was Groomed, Lisa did such a awesome Job my wife said and when when Emma Lou came home She looked Amazing... and Smelled amazing Highly recommend this service.
Omg this is the best groomer bar none. My long hair Wegie Rose is so pretty when she gets her hair did here. Love her. 💕🐾💕
Lisa really cares for your pets. If you bring your animal to her she will treat it like one of her own. Can't ask for better service
I love this place, Lisa Hawkes is fair honest and an accomplished groomer as well. Friendly place and in a lively area of Farmingdale.
Good job, great price, very nice groomer. Highly recommended.
She is very accommodating and treats my dog very well.
They do a great job on Molly & have a positive attitude.
Kim has cared for our dogs for well over 10 years and she is the best. Before discovering Kim's K9 I tried several others and nobody cares for my dogs like her. The inside was recently remodeled and looks great. Thank you Kim for being there for us.
We have taken 3 dogs over the past 10 to 15 years to Kim's Canine. They have stayed anywhere from just one night to 9 nights. All of our dogs have looked forward to going to see Kim. My first pugs would yelp with joy when we would mention where we were taking them. When we dropped them off, they never looked back when we left. It's such a great feeling to know my dogs are well taken care of and they enjoy being at Kim's.
my dogs are always well cared for, and I love the safe, fenced in yard that they go out in, along with the "bedroom" they have inside. And then they get special time in the "living room" with TV and toys. I never worry that they can dig out under a fence, or are unsupervised. Individual needs have always been met. My dogs recognize where they are when they are dropped off and go happily inside with Kim which tells me they are happy to stay there!
My extended family and I have been boarding our dogs here for around 10 years. It is so nice to drop your dog off somewhere and know that they are well loved and cared for 😊. I have nothing but great things to say about this business. The price has never increased and the owner has always managed to make room for my pup - even at the last minute. I would highly recommend Kim’s canine retreat.
This place is amazing! Each dog has their own room and she makes sure the bigger dogs get the bigger rooms. There’s plenty of space for them to move around. There a doggy living room with couches and toys and even a tv for the pups. Cameras to watch the pups if she isn’t by there side. She allows each of the dogs outside time multiple times a day in a huge fenced in area and will even have multiple dogs out at the same time to play with each other. The owner is amazing and treats every dog like they are her own. If your pup has a hard time without you, she makes sure you are informed and gives that pup extra time out and extra love! I love this place and I would never take my fur baby anywhere else.
Love Kim's. Only ace I have taken my dogs for 10 years. My dog can be difficult with people and he has been nothing but excited to see Kim. No concerns with the level of care. Thank you Kim.
This is the only place to leave your dog's. Where else would they be given a room each (dog sized)? Where else are they encouraged to socialize with like minded, similar sized dogs, in front of a fire place and t.v. with a sofa? Your best friend becomes the best friend of Kim and her staff. Why would you let yours be placed in cages?
Kim takes great care of the Dogs that she boards. I won't leave my Golden Doodle with just anyone and she is one of those people!
Our dog loved it there! A wonderful house, so cozy! I can only recommend this place!
