Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
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!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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 20$ per visit, $19/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!
My fur baby and I love Woodcroft! This has been like a second home to him and I feel at ease when I have to drop him off for daycare or boarding because I know he is in good hands! All the staff are wonderful and it’s very clear they are all dog lovers! Would highly recommend this place.
My border collie and I had a great experience here at Woodcroft. I was nervous at first to take him to daycare because he can be a little shy and is usually never away from my partner and I. However Hannah made us both feel more comfortable by giving us a tour of the place before hand and also ensuring us that she does not take in too many dogs (which I liked very much). Inside was a very open and clean space and the dogs have easy access to an outside patio that my dog enjoyed a lot. After pick up, Hannah gave me an assessment of Huck's behavior and also advise on how to make him more comfortable the next time he comes. Although this is a new business I would recommend Woodcroft if you are looking for a doggie daycare.
This place is great. They are easy going and nice and my Dog loves going there!
This was our pup’s first daycare and boarding experience and she absolutely loved it! She was nervous at first, but Hannah did an amazing job of making her feel comfortable and by the time I left, my pup was running around having a blast with the other dogs. I also really appreciated getting little photo updates during her stay. Very thoughtful. I am so grateful that this business exists here in our community!
Woodcroft Doggy Day Care is the best place to take your pups in the entire county. Staff is extremely friendly, accommodating, and prioritizes your dog's needs and health. Kenneling, daycare, and training are well-priced. The owner is charismatic and works perfectly with all kinds of personalities ("pooch"inalities?). I cannot recommend Woodcroft enough if you have to travel without your companion.
LOVE Woodcroft, great for stays, also a BIG shoutout for Hannah as dog trainer! We had a session recently, just a half an hour of practical pointers and advice and at a critical moment Hannah said “trust your dog.” Something clicked in both me and dog and frustrating problem is gone ever since! Magic!
My dog loves Woodcroft and so do I! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. There is a good staff to dog ratio, and they gently correct inappropriate behaviors. My dog plays so much better with others now.
I'm very impressed with this business. My uncle was in the hospital in feb for at least a month and a half. My cousin contacted Woodcroft and was able to get my uncle's dog (Elliott) in right away. Then unfortunately my uncle was flown to an out of the area hospital this last weekend for emergency care. My cousin asked me to contact Woodcroft for Elliott. When I called Hannah said no problem bring him on in. When I dropped Elliott off he was so happy to be there and Hannah was excited to see him as well. Hannah your awesome and your making a huge difference in people (and doggies) lives. Thanks again for being there.
I was out here on vacation from Chico and I absolutely love this place! I have a nervous adult dog (Scout) and a puppy (Toby - in the picture) both being a bit of work. They loved being here so much they didn't want to leave when it was time to leave. I always worry that my pups will be stuffed in a kennel and given limited interaction. Here they are allowed to free run and play and get enriching activities and I could absolutely see the difference in their attitude versus some places we've tried back home. The only thing I don't like is that I can't come more often. Hannah is amazing and I'm already looking forward to the next time I'm back out here with my pups! Hands down the best doggy day care I've worked with.
I have purchased every service at this kennel. Across the board this doggy daycare has helped my high energy dog calm down. We started with training, the team there taught me basic training and really worked with my experience while assessing the needs and behavior of my boy. He's very high energy snd by the time we had finished 5 trainings he had all his basic training down. 7 commands later, from sit to leave it, we were ready to face the world! When my office had me go back into the office this place was the obvious choice. They knew Lucky and spent the time to access his behaviour with other dogs. He's now so friendly with other animals and has really grown. No matter how much I miss him their Instagram page posts stories daily to show how my baby is doing. And its just a text away to see if anything is happening. These people are very communicative and their online app makes it easy for me to roll over in the middle of the night and schedule an emergency board or day if something happens. Overnight boarding is great and there is so much space for the dogs to run around. Toys, other puppies and the reassurance that he is in a safe environment makes this place my only choice in Humboldt. Sometimes he comes back with all the slobber and I know that that means he had one of his best days with the friends he is making at Woodcroft Doggy Day Camp. Thank you to the great team and thank you for creating this service in our community!
I have been a dog owner my entire life. Taking vacations away from my fur babies can be very stressful. We have never boarded our dogs and we have always had a pet sitter come to the house. We just returned from a 10 day vacation to find our babies happy and well cared for and house spotlessly clean! This is our first time using Mike’s services and he will forever be our first call going forward. We have three dogs, one of them is a senior, another one requires special medication including weekly injections, and the third is very high energy and needs a lot of exercise. All of their needs were met flawlessly. We got daily updates with pictures and videos and could see they were having a fantastic time with Mike. We are truly grateful for the excellent service and love Mike gave our babies. Looking forward to future vacations knowing that Our precious babies will be loved and cared for a while we are away.
Mike took great care of our cats and pet chicken while we were away. He sent us updates and pictures of the cats, made sure our senior kitty got his meds, and responded to texts quickly anytime we reached out.
Mike gets an A+ Mike understands how special my cats are to me, so he happily agreed to mimic some of their daily (feeding and playing) routines to maintain normalcy in my absence. But at the same time, he had his own "pet voice" he used with them and developed friendships with them. He sent me short videos and photos of them while I was away and responded promptly to texts I sent him. When I got home, I could barely notice that he house/pet sat there for a week. And my cats pretended like they had noticed I'd been gone. That was a good sign. I highly recommend Mike as your house/pet sitter. He's been a professional in the Humboldt Region for decades and is true to his dependable reputation. The Peace of Mind I had while I was gone was worth many times more than I paid. This is the pet sitter you want if you don't want to worry about your pets while you're gone. But he won't be available the third week in October ever! I'm calling it right now!
Mike Seeber was a great house/dogsitter! The dogs enjoyed their time with him and got a lot of walks. The house was spotless when we returned. I highly recommend! Jan Ross
Mike is very caring and sensitive to our dog Sadie and he’s very conscientious about her needs and her schedule. We completely trust Mike to take good care of her and our home.
They are the best doggy daycare/ boarding we’ve taken our dog to. They are very involved, very educated, and I feel so safe leaving my Louis with them during the work week. I 10000% recommend them over other options in the area. They care greatly about animals, and my puppy comes home in such a good mood and sleepy from all the dog play!! They’re also great photographers and update consistently throughout the day on how your doggo is doing :)
100% Recommend Pine Hill Pet Care! My pup always come home happy and tired. They are great with communication and accommodating with scheduling changes.
Highly recommended. Pine Hill Pet Care cared for our cat in our home when we were out of town and did a phenomenal job. They took excellent care of our cat, sent daily updates via text, and were very friendly and flexible. I will definitely be using their services again.
I've been using Pine Hill for my dog waste pick up for a few months now. #1. Amazing customer service. Very good communication about scheduling. Always professional, polite, and just pleasant to talk to. #2. Reasonable pricing for a month's worth of service. #3. Does an excellent job picking up, even when the grass gets a little long. I highly recommend their pick up service and believe any service they provide would be worth it!
The folks at Pine Hill Doggy Daycare were super professional and sweet. Our pup came back happy and absolutely exhausted after a full day romping around the beach and yard at day care. Pine Hill picked up and dropped off our girl as well as sent video/photo updates during the day. I would highly recommend Pine Hill Doggy Daycare and plan to use them many times in the future!
Melissa was great with our little senior dog. He got along well with her other dogs, and seemed to be having a good time. The homey vibe is what we were looking for instead of a cage and one hour a day exercise. I highly recommend Pine hill Doggy Daycare! Austin Snyder
They always take such good care of Arrow, I love seeing videos of her playing with the other dogs in the woods and on the beach on their Instagram feed, while I'm off on business. Whether it's a dog walk on a long workday, or dog boarding while I'm out of town, I know she's happy and having a blast
Awesome pet sitter-- they did such a good job taking care of my beloved kitties. Thanks again, will always use Pine Hill from now on. :)
I had my puppy Penelope stay in their care while I was at work for over 4 months. They were professional, kind and engaging with my puppy! I was blow away by how kind and caring they were! I received daily pictures of her play time and any questions I asked were answered. My puppy had the highest quality care with puppy ply, puppy art time and even a bubble party! I HIGHLY recommend this business to anyone who is looking for care. 10/10!!
I am a travel nurse and needed someone to take care of my sweet pup, Ollie, while I was at work. Lindsay came through and was there for me when I needed it most! She took Ollie in like he was her own and took such great care of him. I never worried when I dropped him off. I could tell Ollie loved going there because he basically ran out of the car as soon as we pulled up to her house! Lindsay is extremely caring, kind, flexible, and communicative. I love that she limits how many dogs she takes per day to maintain safety. She also sends updates and pictures throughout the day so you can see your pup in action. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a doggie daycare that is fun, safe, and affordable. She is absolutely wonderful!
When I got my new puppy last spring, I asked my vet if she could recommend a puppy friendly pet sitter. Her response " Pet Sitter Extraordinaire" with Lindsey's contact attached. Best thing that could have happened for me!! Lindsey is so incredibly wonderful in every way and goes above and beyond to ensure your dog's safety and comfort in her home. Her home is literally my dog's second home. So highly recommended!!
100% recommend! Lindsey will take care of your pets as if they were her own. She's sweet, kind, professional, easy to talk to and incredibly caring. I've even recommended her to a few of my cleaning clients and they were blown away by her care of their pets. I would trust her everyday with my love fluffs.
Lindsey and her husband Chris are so caring and so attentive to all the dogs they care for! Whenever I have to leave town I know my pups are in good hands with miss Lindsay. She goes the extra mile for my doggos! She even gave them all Christmas presents. She bakes them homemade treats and is a registered vet tech! So not only are they safe, I can rest well ok owing that they are being looked after by a veterinary professional! Thank you Lindsey! Loofy and Cody go crazy when we get there!! They love it
Paws and Wet Noses is one of the best! I’m one of those pet parents who is WAAAAY over protective of the care my animals receive. But I know that I can trust this team with any type of care. My diabetic pet needs multiple daily medications and they were able to take care of him so well it was like I had never left. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend!
This place knows how to take care of your pet. With Lindsey's veterinary experience and their obvious love for animals, I can't think of a better place.
Seemed nice but couldn't help me!
My dog loves this place and she does not like every daycare. Definitely recommend for playful dogs, I'm sure all dogs love Happy Dog as well!
The best doggy daycare! My basset Hickory doesn't always find it easy to be social. The Happy Dog folks make sure he is in the right play group for his needs and that he has a true happy experience! They often give me reports when I come for pick up so I know he is getting personalized care not just another face in the crowd. As much as Hickory enjoys seeing his doggy friends I think he likes his people friends even more! The staff at Happy Dog are truly wonderful! Every time we come to drop off my dog is wagging his tail and every time I pick up he has a happy doggy smile. With half day and whole day options prices are very reasonable. This place really does make for a Happy Dog!
Happy Dog is great! We've taken our dog there several times. The staff is extremely friendly. They have indoor kennels and also have covered outdoor play areas for the dogs to run around.
I find myself relating to pet parents who know just how important it is to find a safe and happy place for their animal companions. I found that magical spot in Happy Dog. My pup comes home after a long day of playing and being showered with love and attention.
My dog Ripley absolutely loves it here. I have to roll the back windows of the car up on the way to drop him off, because he once got so excited that he jumped out the window! He is always super happy to come play with his friends and is peacefully tired when I pick him up. The staff are all friendly, calm, professional, and efficient -- and my dog loves them, too. They manage the busy drop off and pick up times of day amazingly well. I had never used a doggy daycare service before this and was very hesitant at first, but I have been put completely at ease, and I know that if I ever need to board Ripley here overnight he will be in good hands. ❤
We were displaced due to the fires. Our beagle was with us and we needed a day care so while my daughter attended remote classes she wouldn't pester her. This place is amazing from the staff to the other dogs they allow. Our dog came back at the end of the day tired and happy. After the first day she hopped right it if the car and ran with the attendants inside she was so thrilled to be there! They are observing very strict and careful covid distancing. Which is so important right now. We were so happy to find them and if we're ever there again I'll 100% bring it dog there.
My dogs, Sienna and Spencer, absolutely love their weekend and daycare getaways to Happy Dog!! They start getting excited on the freeway before dropping them off. Happy Dog staff have been great to them. It feels good to get away and know our fur kids are in good hands!!!
My dog has gotten kicked out of another daycare before for playing too rough because they sorted dogs into 3 categories. I love that happy dogs sorts them based on size AND play style. My boy loves it there! They have better prices than the other place too and are pretty quick with getting my dog out and notifying if there were any issues.
I've taken my dogs to a number of places and Happy Dog is by far the best. My dog is getting older and requires a little extra attention and the staff at happy dog treated her amazing. And when work kept me away for weeks on end they made sure Maggie was in good health and happy. I can't say enough of how awesome this business and staff are. Many thanks !
Staff folks are superb. My Corgi, Zuli nearly knocks the door down to get in at drop off and just as happy to come home, when I pick her up. I’ve brought my dogs to Happy Dog daycare and boarding since 1998. Always a great experience for the dogs and for me!
Excellent and thoughtful and trustworthy care for all my critters!
Holly has many years of experience and a wonderful demeanor with the animals. She can come to you and will work on a plan specific for your furry friends individual needs. She helped us get our Augie ready to be certified as a therapy dog. She is also a supporter of and part or our group "Therapy Dog of Humboldt".
I've learned alot from Holly . This is a great service she teaches trainer and dog. I would highly recommend her to anyone
I've called and left 2 voicemails, and sent an email. Absolutely zero response.
This place is awesome! Everything about the place is great; super clean, great staff, the “cottages” that Sophie stayed in was well made, roomy, and super clean. They took great care of my cat. They even sent me updates and photos of her to let me know how she was doing. Great peace of mind knowing she was so well cared for. They will definitely be my go to for boarding in the future.
This is the 2nd time we've entrusted Cozy Cat Cottages to take care of our cat and once again we are very happy with their services. Xochitl helped us with intake and throughout the long weekend of our cats stay. She even updated us by texting us how our cat was doing and with pictures :)
My cats were well taken care of and the staff is kind and helpful.
Unfortunately never had a good experience at this place. Front desk is rep is unprofessional and disorganized. My dog always comes back with fleas.
Boarded my puppy here for 4 days while we were out of town. No issues at all. My Honey git the VIP treatment and it was her first time being around other dogs. When we picked Honey up she was happy and had no issues. The staff was great with her while I was there and they seem really knowledgeable about dogs. Plan to use their services again.
You can rest assured your animals will be well cared for here and may not even want to go home.
I love this place. Thanksgiving was the first time we left our dog with VIP. I have to say they were excellent. I called to check on our sweet pup and they weren't even irritated. They called me back and updated me on everything he was up to. When my husband picked our dog up, he learned that they spoiled him. Lol I love it! It gave me so much comfort to know he was doing so well being away from us. And that he was treated so well. We've already got another boarding session signed up for him. We will continue to board here. We love it!
Just traveling through and left our dog here for daycare for a few hours and he loved it! The staff was very friendly and our dog had a blast! I would recommend this place and will use them again when we come back out this way!
Our pups were worn out from playing at VIP for 2 days of daycare while we got to experience the beauty of the redwoods, Trinidad Beach area, Lady Bird Park and Avenue of the Giants. We would definitely have Scooby & Sissy stay there again. Staff was great and informative. ...it's an older building so don't let that hinder you in any way. The setup is great just.ask staff to let you tour around.
I have helped out on occasion 1st It is the cleanest kennel facilty. I have EVER seen, more than necessary which says it All Every "guest:" (dog) no matter how spoiled, previously traumatized, quirky, annoying,or flat out plum stupid is treated with respect and dignity. The owner has essentially spent her life in this pursuit with dedication although its sorta beneath her abilities gifts and intellect, you could almost think its almost as important as she is. I don't say that out of adoration. My onbjectivety is unassailable, inexorable and beyond question. I'm glad my dogs didn't know about this- and love Genna more than me. Yes, yes she's sooooooo beautiful, I know I'm so sick of hearing it!!!
This place is great. The workers are very nice. And my dog was well taken care of and happy.
My little dog did so well here while I was out of town. He was happy and not anxious or nervous at all, they took great care of him.
I made sure to write a review on every page of this because of how much I love and appreciate this daycare. The staff is amazing, my puppy leo loves them and it has helped so so much with our very hyper fur baby.
THE ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS We recently left our 3 dogs for a week at Whisker City, in Fortuna, CA. (all Belgian Malinois X German Shepherd Dogs) We were a bit anxious as our dogs haven't been away from home more than an overnight in their lives. The facility is clean and inviting and full of animal loving, caregivers. We picked them up this morning and, of course, they were happy to see us but I think they might have been as happy to stay with their new friends as to go home with us. The personal care that the babies received was unbeatable and the pricing is very reasonable. If I could give 10 STARS I would. Thanks to all the wonderful caregivers at Whisker City, Sincerely, Sherman, Buster and Emma
Friend of mine boarded her dog here. He didn't want to go home.
