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.

Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
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 🐈⬛❤️
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
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!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Kathy and Ron are the most accommodating sitters you will ever find. At my request they arrived a few days early and also made it clear they would be willing to extend their stay as needed. While at first they were a little uneasy about giving pills to our cat Sparky, they soon got the hang of it and did an excellent job caring for both cats even though the cats have very different schedules and needs. Kathy was great about keeping in touch with us and we knew they would be just fine for the several days when we were out of communication range. I would gladly invite Ron and Kathy back anytime and highly recommend them to you for your next getaway!
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!
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, $29/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!
The gal running this business is so sweet! Very professional and you can tell she really cares about the animals like they are her own. I went on vacation during the summer and she was so proactive about keeping my house cool for my cats and going above and beyond leaving extra bowls of water just in case. I used to not be able to travel because of my animals, but now Gayta has helped me to get back to doing what I love! Thank you!
Great pet services from Gayta and her son Alex. Very professional and cared so well for our dogs while we were away for 3 weeks.
James and team take care of your dogs like they are part of their own family. Our dog Winston is happy and safe there. 5 stars!
We love this place. My dog can’t wait to go for daycare to overnights. The staff is amazing and they truly love the dogs and what they do!!
Thank you for the review! We enjoy having Ciro as a Camper.
Thank you!
Thanks, Sam!
Fetch made is so easy to find a great sitter for our dogs. Ours dogs loved the company each night while we were out of town. Would highly recommend!
Fetch has become my go-to dog walking service over the past couple of years. It’s easy to schedule dog sitters and I’ve been able to use the same two wonderful walkers, giving me great peace of mind. Robyn, the owner, is wonderful to communicate with, and I’m also able to communicate directly with my dog walkers. The status reports with pictures and updates for each visit are so thoughtful and appreciated. Fetch is the best. I’ll keep coming back! 🎾
We had the most wonderful pet sitter through Fetch! She was so attentive and her updates were charming and detailed and so much fun for us to read - and the photos were fantastic! We were able to relax on our trip knowing our kitties were in very capable and conscientious hands. Cannot recommend Fetch more highly.
I’ve been a client of Fetch for several years and I would highly recommend them to any pet owner. We use Emily to visit our three cats and could not be happier. Prompt, professional, trustworthy. What else could anyone want.
Fetch is a truly great company with a wide variety of services, reliable and caring staff, quick response rates, and reasonable rates. I’ve used them for several years and have never had a problem.
Fetch! were a huge help when we were staying at Cavallo Lodge with our dog and needed someone to come to the hotel and stay with her on New Year's Eve. They found a perfect match for our pup. They were responsive and very professional and our sitter put us (and our pup) quickly at ease that our pup was in good hands. We would definitely use them again.
Fetch! Always takes care of our two cats! They always manage to fit us in with a pet sitter even at the last minute. Really helpful company. Would recommend highly.
We have used Fetch Pet Care for our 17 year old poodle. Because of her age she needs a little extra TLC. Fetch has proven very dependable and kind with out dog. They kept us posted while we were out of town how she was doing and contacted us with any questions. Our house was left in perfect condition and we came home to a very well cared for dog.
We moved to Sonoma 2 years ago and feel so lucky to have found our petsitter Lois, through Fetch. She's reliable, caring and easy to work with. Our two older cats now require medication and Lois has been very accommodating with their changing needs. Most importantly, the kitties are completely comfortable around her and we feel good knowing we've left them, and our home, in capable hands.
We have been using Fetch for many year to care for our cats while we travel. It has always been a great comfort to know that the pets we loved were being so well cared for. The daily journals and pictures we received showed are cats as active and happy. The litter is always clean when we return. In addition, our plants had been watered and mail taken in. Once, part of a tree fell in our yard, and the pet sitter texted us pictures, which allowed us to schedule tree service as soon as we got home. Our current pet sitter is a delight to work with. We sometimes think our cat is disappointed when we return. In short you could not do better than using Fetch for your petcare needs.
Melodie, the owner of Tails Up!, is professional and caring. The dog sitters who have watched our puppy have taken him into their homes, made him a part of their family routines, and given him lots of TLC. This business fills a special need by treating dogs with love & empathy.
We strongly recommend Tails Up! Napa Valley for your four legged loved ones! Melodie made our experience comfortably seamless when we were out of town for several days. Our greatest concern when leaving our dogs was not only the basics of being fed and let out, but she took it a couple steps further by giving them companionship by staying overnight, taking them for walks frequently, and giving them baths. We will call upon her and only her every time we leave town. Thank you!!
Highly recommend Tails Up! Napa Valley! Melodie and her staff were amazing. I received daily updates on how my dog was doing along with photos to boot! My mind was definitely at ease knowing he was being so well taken care of. I will definitely use Tails Up! in the future.
Thank goodness for Tails up Napa Valley! They give so much love to my dog on my workdays! I can tell by all the pictures that he is in love! Don’t know what I would do without them!
We couldn't be more pleased with Tails Up! Napa Valley. Melodie and Penny took such great care of our lab and cat as if they were their own pets. This was evident upon our return home. We completely trust Tails Up! Napa Valley with our pets and home and are planning to use them again next month when we leave for vacation. Thanks fore everything Melodie and Penny!
Thank goodness Tails Up Napa Valley is open again!! Melodie and her team are professional and reliable and our dog, Rusty loves them as much as we do. We just planned our first travel in over a year and are so happy Rusty will be happy and well taken care of while we’re away!
I have worked with the TailUp team to walk my pup since they initially opened. They are extremely professional, well managed, and reliable. Melodie, the owner takes extreme care to screen her staff and to ensure that they, not only follow safety rules, but also make sure that I as the pet parent am comfortable with her team. TailsUp closed briefly due to state independent contractor regulations, but they are now back in business! I couldn’t be happier with their service and professionalism.
We have used Tails Up for walks & dog sitting on two visits to Napa, and they have been great! Very responsive and flexible for early/late requests. We got updates and great pics from each of the walkers. Will definitely reach out the next time we are in town with our pup!
I can hardly wait to bring my Norfolk Terrior Baldwin to stay for awhile after reading your reviews. Our pets become our chosen family so easily. Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts.
I want to take a few moments to express my complete satisfaction with Tails Up pet sitting. Melodie & Penny did a wonderful professional job with my 2 cats. I received complete & thorough reports on every visit. Photos of my cat boys mail & newspaper collection were included. If I could I'd give them a 10 star rating. My cats are like family to me so I compliment only the most professional caregivers with real love & caring for animals .
Jake is now over a year old and as a puppy he’s struggled a lot with reactivity. His main issue is meeting new people, especially if I’m around. We’ve taken him to dog parks which was fine up until recently, as he’s gotten older he’s become more guarded with me and had even shown some odd aggression with dogs at the dog park . My last resort was somehow taking me out of the equation which resulted me to doggy day care. Me and Jake were extremely nervous as he doesn’t do well in new environments. He’d cry the whole way there and even beg for me not to leave him. Now, he doesn’t even look back to say bye to me anymore. His reactivity towards people is still very much there but this group of staff have been so patient with him and he’s now come to love being there with him. We even did a night of boarding! I can’t thank them enough for all they do for him. He’s still able to enjoy socializing with his dog friends and gets to be around other people which warms my heart! Thank you all!
One of the biggest nightmares that can happen to a dog owner occurred to me. While traveling overseas, one of my dogs got sick (not Play Dog Play's fault) during their stay. I can't thank PDP enough. They couldn't handled it better; within minutes they took my baby to the vet and provided the best care. The owner had him stay with him, so my dog got the rest he needed. The entire team truly cares about dogs, and I can't recommend them enough. Hector, the owner, followed up after my return to hear if my dog was ok. Luckily my dog is fine ~ I'm shocked to read that some reviewers had a non-positive experience with the new owners; they have been nothing but lovely and very caring. Thank you again!
Hector, Linda and staff are amazing. Kind, passionate about caring for dogs and very professional. Also very knowledgeable. I highly recommend!
The absolute BEST!!! They love all the dogs and treat them as if they are their own. My dog goes for daycare and overnight boarding. They have options and one of them is for my dog to sleep in the bed with the human staying the night. He loves it!
Great service from the really super people that operate it. Our dog has enjoyed going there for the past 4 years for daycare + multi-night boarding and we trust them implicitly.
Amazing staff, great facilities, happy dogs. I literally begged them to accept my dog as a pup, she passed her assessment and now looks forward to any visit at PlayDogPlay.
Great place. Everyone is very caring and nice
We have been bringing our puppy here regularly since 2011. They are like family to us and I am pretty sure Mya likes it better here than at our house. John and Molly run a great operation and we feel so fortunate to have found them. It is fantastic to have a safe, clean and reliable place to leave our 4 legged family member when we go out of town.
Never again my boy got injured and have to be in emergency room after a couple hours in their care. I leave my boy to all day care near me and he Never get injured or hurt even once. Very disappointed. Staffs are friendly but that just not enough especially if Im picking up an injured boy and in pain. Lessons learned to all fur parent if the staff is saying that your dog is trying to get out don't bring him back there again.
Exceptional facility with a caring and accommodating staff.
Cecil is the owner/caretaker. What a wonderful lady. We took our kitty for a long weekend. I couldn't have asked for better care of my little pet. Total professional care, clean and impressive grounds. Full intake before and upon arrival. Obviously, she cares for her charges. I feel so fortunate to have found her.
Cecile is awesome! She’s always so helpful and clearly loves the animals that come to visit including speaking French to them. Highly recommend and check them out for your dog or cat boarding needs.
Cecile is lovely, and takes care of the dogs with her whole heart. The estate is large and secure. My dog loves coming!
Absolutely wonderful place to board your pets. I've taken my pets here for years and Cecil has always taken great care of them. Both cats and dogs are on separate parts of the property, but it is very secure and clean. The cats are inside of her house,have their own cages and necessities. My pets had a blast and she even spoke French to them! Definitely recommend.
Best and most caring place to bring your pets! Cecilia always makes sure the pets are happy and comfortable! Great for a planned vacation or a last minute carpet cleaning ! Would recommend to everyone. My mom brought our cats there as children and now I have my own and still bring them to happy pets ❤️
We take our one year old puppy here all the time and he loves it. Cecile (the owner) is a very caring pet lover. Your dog will have plenty of room to run and play.
The BEST place to take your four-legged family member! We have been taking our dog(s) to Happy Pet's Inn for over 15 years. Cecile and Jean Pierre are simply the best. They treat our dogs like part of their family. Zeus, our German Shepard, starts getting excited when we are about 3 miles away. He always comes back happy and healthy. We left him ONCE at another place...NEVER again. ONLY Happy Pet's Inn for him. Our previous Golden Retriever, Shane, LOVED Happy Pet's Inn. He too would get excited on the beautiful drive a few miles before we arrived. We have had many of our friends board their dogs at Happy Pet's Inn and ALL have been extremely satisfied. Cecile and Jean Pierre are truly a blessing. It's so nice to NEVER have to worry about our dog when we are away. It may seem like a long way to go for those who live out of the area, but it is well worth it and a lovely drive. As an added bonus, Cecile and Jean Pierre are the most patriotic couple that we know...but that's another story. You won't regret using Happy Pet's Inn. There is nothing that can compare to the care and love that Cecile and Jean Pierre and their staff give to the dogs and cats. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!
Cecile was absolutely amazing, we needed a pet sitter for our chihuahua for a day and couldn't find anywhere else to take her but she said she would and our little schunk was very well taken care of :3
I have known the owners of this exceptional pet friendly facility for more than three decades. They are some of the most hard working and dedicated people that I have ever seen. These people have a genuine love and devotion for animals that goes well beyond what one would expect from from any type of pet related business. The Happy Pets Inn is the real deal twenty four seven and I don't know of a better place for any pet to be cared for. They have taken care of my animals over many years when I have had to deal with out of town family emergencies. I feel blessed knowing that in my absence my pets were cared for far better than I could have hoped for. You won't find a better place to leave your pet. Sincerely, R.D. Martinez
I have been boarding my dogs here for years. I wouldn’t consider any other place. Cecile is wonderful and the facility is a dog’s idea of heaven. My pooch(es - past and present ) have always been happy to vacation here!
We loved Ruff ! My Spinone, Zeppe went several times a week for daycare and he would start making happy noises miles away knowing that he was going to hang with friends. He went thru those doors and never looked back at me. (sigh) He came home tired and happy every day. Everyone so nice, all so clean, a great facility. HIGHLY recommend.
My dog loves coming to Ruff for daycare! The staff treat him like a real fur baby!
Dolce has a great time at her meet and greet and first overnight. She’ll be calling Ruff her home away from home when she can’t travel with me.
The best place to take your dog in the Napa/Sonoma area! Top notch staff who know what they are doing. Excellent facility!
My dog loves the special people at Ruff! And so do I.
Well run. Our boy seemed to like it.
