Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
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.
We knew that we would have a good experience with Carole & Ron from the moment we first had a video chat with them. They are very experienced house sitters and it showed in the questions they asked about our cats and our home. We were so fascinated by them that we invited them to arrive a day early so that we could all go out for lunch and then dinner to hear about their travel stories and share a few of our own. When we left, we felt very confident in our choice and took off on our trip with confidence that our dear kitties would be well cared for. We were not disappointed as Carole & Ron sent us photos and an update the very next day to let us know that all was well. During the next two weeks, we never had a moment of concern and fully enjoyed our vacation knowing that these seasoned sitters were both looking after our place and also enjoying themselves exploring our wonderful city of Philadelphia. We came home to two very happy cats, a clean house, and even a full bowl of fresh fruit on our kitchen counter. We would absolutely have Carole & Ron sit for us again and we wish them the very best of fun and exploration in their future adventures!
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
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!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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 €15 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!
We bring our dog Aoife here for both day care and boarding. She loves it! Rae and the rest of the staff are so kind and knowledgeable about dogs. Love lil dog lodge!!
I brought my dog here twice and on both occasions he needed to pee immediately after we went outside and he was very thirsty, which confused me as those both seem like basic needs to be met. The couple that runs this has a large number of security cameras set up outside, patrolling the parking lot and surrounding area, however, they don't have any internal cameras that allow people to see the conditions the dogs are being kept in, or how often they get out to play. So I decided to take my dog elsewhere and highly recommend The Good Dog Spot.
Chompy has been going to the LDL for about 3.5 years. We love the staff and trust that she is happy when she is there because she is always so excited to arrive.
My puppy goes wild for Lil Dog Lodge. Here is a photo of him eager to be put down by my son to run to the door. He absolutely loves to go and is so excited when I pick him up. He even protested to leave once, sitting at the door step. The owner (Rae?) talked to me for a good 20 minutes, sharing her expertise. I’m grateful for this home away from home, and the price is reasonable ($15 for 3 hours, $38 or maybe less for 24 hours.).
No other place I would take my dogs. We have had the best experience with the staff and owners of Lil Dog Lodge. They make you feel like family is taking care of your fur babies and whenever we need them they are there for us!! They provide boarding and amazing snuggle time with your fur babies. Be sure to check out this wonderful and super friendly small business.
I have two precious dogs. My girlfriend and I look for pups others may not take and that comes with some behavioral issues due to neglect and abuse. One of which has separation anxiety like I’ve never seen. I’ve tried training and medications and all have failed. He is destructive when left alone and will rip up the walls. I’ve been reliant on a daycare facility for the last 6-7 years and had the privilege of working for one. My usual facility has shut down due to the virus. I have to work from home and my pups are used to being at the other daycare facility and draining their energy there. It is pretty hard to sit down and work from home when you have two dogs with separation anxiety with a ton of energy. The lodge has been a god send. I called last Friday and the lady I spoke to (I believe the owner) was very friendly and made it very easy for me to get everything set (vet records, intake form) so my pups could have their first day today. She answered all my questions and having worked at a similar facility, I had a bunch. I went in this morning and was greeted by someone who genuinely looked like she loved her job and was excited to see my dogs. She was very friendly with them. My newer dog is a very sad neglect case and has problems with new people. The lady today took it slow and I was amazed Joy didn’t bark at her. Upon pick up I was informed on how my pups did. They didn’t even want to leave at first. I had to call them from the lobby. Both came out wit tails waging and smiles on their faces. They have been exhausted since returning home. I would highly suggest using these guys in you are in the hill towns. I will continued to bring my pups until my other facility is open and use them as a backup or if I don’t wanna make the 45 minute drive to the other one. The other facility is on my way home from work anyways and they let me keep my employee discount. Being a college student that’s helpful. But if money wasn’t part of the equation, I would be just as comfortable leaving my pups at the lodge as I am with the facility I worked for and have been using for 5-6 years. These folks seem to really care about their guests.
Great staff! They really work to maintain safety.
Are you looking for knowledgeable, caring, professional care for you furry child. Look no further. At the Lil Dog Lodge your furry loved one will recieve the best care with over 20 yrs experience in the industry. They were working in dog care well before most of the daycare/boarding facilities in the area opened. The folks at lil dog lodge know what's best for your dogs and will go above and beyond to supply fun and safe socialization while you're away. Check them out, you won't regret it.
We’ve had several great experiences for day care and over night stays, our pup goes in excitedly for drop off and comes out in good spirits during pick up
Absolutely terrible owners! Rude, cruel, and seemingly spiteful of the whole community.
Steve and Anne have a great set up. They are great people and truly care for their animals. They part of our dogs family now. They update you on your dog, send pictures and its such a great feeling knowing that your dog is in good hands. I will always bring my dog to them.
You can tell right away that Anne and Steve love dogs and are knowledgeable about dogs. Our lab Maddy is happy when she arrives and happy when we pick her up! We will always use this kennel.
An excellent kennel! Steve is a very experienced dog handler and trainer. His first concern is always for the dogs in his care. During our dog's first stay she became very scared due to a thunderstorm. Steve took the time to sit with her and keep her calm.
I highly recommend this facility! The owners really care about your animal as if they were their own! The prices are fantastic and the care provided to your animal is amazing! I cannot say enough about this kennel! I will continue to use them in the future. Our vacation was that much better knowing our dog was in great hands. Our dog loved them! Don’t hesitate to use this kennel. Again, they are amazing!
Great experience! They were in constant contact with us and sent pics every day. They took the stress out of leaving your pet while you are away. Very clean and our pup came home happy and healthy.
We love taking our Cockapoo puppy to board here. She gets so much TLC and we get pictures and updates throughout her stay. We're thankful to have our puppy here and know she'll be in good hands. Thank you so much Anne!
Endorsed by Karma, the dog! Ann and Steve are true "dog people." Our dog provides his endorsement every time he goes there. He prances happily to "his" large kennel, which has its own private fenced-in yard.
So kind and accommodating. And they clearly love the dogs. Highly recommend Summit Kennels
Top notch in every way!
