I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
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!
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!
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
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 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!
Clean and reasonably priced. The nicest people work here. Took call-ins while we were traveling, so we could check on our pets!
A bit out of the way but worth the savings. Clean facilities and knowledgeable, caring staff. Daily walks or play time optional for the canines. If you don't want to pay for your dog to watch television and just need to board then this might be the place for you.
Very nice kennel boarding place, we recommend! The kennels offer indoor and outdoor space
Town & Country is the best!!! My dogs came back happier than ever and their prices are so affordable compared to others. They took great care of my dogs for a week, I won't use anyone else now! Thank you so much!
We have an anxious pup who only likes his family, and acts nervous and seems scary/aggressive (he is a 75 lb lab/shepherd mix with issues) to anyone else (aka strangers). Town & Country is the ONLY kennel in the area who would take him. They are friendly, listen and he acts excited when entering and leaving. So grateful for them!!!
I had the best experience boarding my dog with T&C Kennel. They were so nice, accommodating, and my dog came back happy and healthy. I had to extend her stay by one day and had no trouble doing so with the staff. The facility was clean, check in was efficient and calm, and I felt the overall cost was very reasonable. Thanks again T&C!
I do not like kenneling my dogs but Town & Country is wonderful. Kind, caring staff. My dogs are so good when we pick them up so I know they also had a good experience. I wish I could find a similar business in our new location. Thanks Town & Country!
Boarded our cat, she can be a handful due to her separation anxiety. She came back with no issues, the staff was super friendly, on top of the great prices. They recently sent us a handwritten follow up card which was so nice. Definitely getting our business from here forward.
The owner will take your dog on a “vacation” in a different state without telling anyone and then try to hold them for ransom and refuse to bring the dog back. And then after police and local12news get involved finally decides to bring back the dog. 0/100000 do not recommend !!!!!
Town & Country takes great care of my dogs. They’re well-organized for drop-off and pick-up. And I know my dogs are taken care of when I’m out of town. We highly recommend them!
Four dogs I have loved have been boarders at Animal Ark when I travel to visit family. The last two, Buckwheat and Millie have also been regular campers during the week. They have been well treated and loved by the staff. They were not fearful when dropped off for boarding because they knew they would be in camp during weeks they were staying at the Ark. I don’t feel guilty about leaving my pet in their care. My current dog Millie is always excited to be there! Thanks to Dakota, Mira, and Brianne and others and all those who preceded them! We love Animal Ark!
Everyone at Animal Ark is so amazing and friendly. Mazie loves going there and playing with all her friends. Especially when they have the pools filled…to say she is a water baby is an understatement. Staff is extremely interactive and creative with the activities they plan. Friends and family have all seen the photos and can’t believe they do a better job than most child day cares. But hey they are our fur babies too! We are counting down the days for her to heal from surgery and be able to come back.
Thank you so much for taking care of Sophie and Toby. After they were groomed and taken to the vet, I’m happy to say that they’re both doing so much better and seem to be happy and comfortable with me and my family. I’ll never forget your kindness. 💕 I want to add to my review. Both cats were in terrible condition after having lived with my elderly aunt for years. They were completely flee infested and their fur was so matted that they couldn’t walk or even lay down properly. The black and white cat (Toby) was 15 years old before he passed away a couple of months ago. He was so much happier and comfortable with my family before he passed. Sophie (the black cat) is now living with my dad who is taking amazing care of her. Animal Ark took very good care of them by making them so much more comfortable by shaving them (which I cant begin to imagine how difficult it must’ve been) and getting rid of the flees. They were so gentle and kind to both kitties while in their care.
It is wonderful. The dogs all have a great time. And my little guy runs to the door to go in. The staff really cares for the dogs
Good quick nailtrim and the staff is always super nice! They take good care of my little ugly dogs. Good local business to support
Animal Ark Pet Resort is great they really helped us out when we went out of town for a couple days for a wedding. My dog has NEVER been away from home and is always nervous anyway. He seemed to be at ease when we dropped him off and very happy when we picked him up also. Thanks Animal Ark for a positive experience for our doggy Rosco!!!
We have always had a positive experience with Animal Ark, whether daycare or boarding. Everyone we’ve encountered has gone above and beyond to provide kind and compassionate care for our pets, we’ve been taking our pets several years. Appreciate that we are given an overview “summary” of pet’s stay upon check out and usually a daycare report. It’s great having Animal Ark as a resource to care for our pet when needed.
Our first experience there and they did an amazing job on our Goldendoodle puppy. He was a farm dog with 9 months worth of hair and extreme matting! After taking him he looked like a completely different dog. His cut looked so professional and he smelled so good! With all the work they put in with the bath, cut, nail trim, ear clean, I paid $70. I highly recommend them and they will have a lifetime customer!
He was so happy to see us went on vacation he stayed about five days they did answered ever when I would call them and get good news about Hooks he did well thank you guys for taking care on the family dog
I really like Animal Ark. I've been taking my pets there for years, for grooming and occasional boarding. I have always had a good experience and their staff has always treated my pets very well. I like how they consult with you each time you arrive, to be sure they know exactly what you'd like done during the grooming. My sheltie dog Kirby, goes there regularly for grooming and he always comes out tail wagging, and looking great!...his fur and nails are trimmed as requested, and he smells really good too! Not only are the groomers great, but the front office staff are always very friendly, and try to accommodate my requests for certain dates when I call, which I appreciate, because sometimes there's so much to juggle! A couple of years ago my husband became ill and unexpectedly had a long hospital stay. On a moments notice Animal ark was able to board my dog and 2 cats immediately...and I was so grateful for them. All things considered, I couldn't be happier to have such nice people at a location nearby. If they ever moved, Kirby, the cats and I, would definitely follow them!;) Many thanks Animal Ark! ~Rhonda Mapes and fur babies
Our groomer retired so we tried here. Our dog is a miniature schnauzer. She is a retired show dog but we still get her hand stripped to keep her coat. This was a place that does hand stripping. I brought her in for a consultation first to make sure. Showed pictures and groomer looked at coat, etc because it is a bit more expensive. She agreed she could do it in 2 hours (full grooming and stripping as I try to strip at home for maintance). Made appointment. Drop off 8:30 pick up 10:30 or so. Dropped her off, groomer said I will call you in 2 hours. By 11:30 I was getting worried they didn't have my number so went there. Called first and no one answered. The person at the desk checked the groomer's schedule and said the groomer had 2 appointments at 8:30 so my dog didn't start until 10:30 and would be ready at 12:30. OK, 2 hours grooming still and maybe I misunderstood drop off times. I picked her up at 12:30. They charged me 4 hours of grooming, from 8:30 to 12:30 at $300. Despite what I was told at the desk. A girl brought my dog out so I had no chance to talk to the groomer about why she said 2 hours and what happened. Even when my dog was getting show groomed, IT WAS NEVER 4 HOURS. My dog is a miniature schnauzer, not a giant poodle. She is well kept up and I have photos that she wasn't an overgrown, matted dog that needed special attention. Despite that and showing pictures, they cut her eyebrows off and short beard, nothing like the photos I shared. I paid, didn't complain, will never go back.
Ryu Capone was very well taken care of for his 1st time being boarded at any type of pet spa facility. I believe they cut his toenails because they look very short. I'm fine with that. He was still a little rambunctious when he got home but when he settled down he slept real good. I would say double check the pricing because there were a few mistakes made in the pricing which makes me want to rethink some things. Overall out of 10 I give the Pet Spa a 9.
Amy does a great job grooming my Goldendoodle. She always takes the extra time to get any mats out of his fur and avoid having yo shave him down. Other groomers at other salons have just shaved him to avoid having to put in that extra time. After she grooms him he always looks beautiful! Thank you, Amy!
Morgan did an amazing job grooming my Great Pyrenees. Best he’s ever looked!
We are so glad to have found The Pet Spot! We had our two doodle mixes groomed by Morgan. The pups' coats were in pretty rough shape, but Morgan was so kind, informative, and nonjudgemental. She did a wonderful job. We will be sure to be back in a couple months, and we're looking forward to using their boarding services in a couple of weeks!
First time visit for my tiny Shorkie. She’s not easily handled. Other groomers didn’t quite style her as requested. But Pet Spot communication made it easy to get the look I wanted for my dog. I am beyond satisfied!
I highly recommend The Pet Spot! Our previous dog Josie went until she passed. We have 2 dogs now Bruno and Vinny who go. The people are caring. Our dogs love going. We have also used their boarding service. They are the best!
After having a bad experience at another dog groomer for the type of dogs that I have, I took my 3 dogs here for a nail trim. They were all done within 15 minutes. Very professional and quick! We will definitely be back in the future.
Kat is great. I am always happy with her cut and my schnauzer booker seems to listen to her and be comfortable with her when we come and go
Over the past year, we have regularly brought our golden-doodle Jack to the Pet Spot for boarding, day care, and grooming. Our experience was great, until it wasn’t. My wife and I had read the cautionary tales and nightmare reviews online, and never thought that would be our story, too. First, let me say that I understand things happen with dogs. They get sick sometimes. Jack has come back from Pet Spot before with an eye infection, as well as kennel cough. We chalked that up as normal. On the other hand, what happened to our dog the first week of August, 2023 was a different story. It was, in our opinion, negligence of care resulting in nearly $500 of expenses following a week of boarding and day care. It could have been worse. That same week, friends we referred there had to take their dog to urgent care with serious G.I. issues and diarrhea following being at Pet Spot. They are out over $1000 and won’t be back. In our case, Jack came home to us with parasitic Giardia causing a bad case of diarrhea, an infection on his foot leading to painful swelling, an open puncture wound on his back, as well as a fracture of his paw nail where it meets the foot bone. He nearly had to have a surgical procedure to remove the infection. So, what would’ve made it right and had us considering bringing our pup back? Really any offer to offset our expenses that wasn’t contingent on signing a non-disclosure, confidentiality, and non-disparagement agreement. Initially nothing was offered, but then they came back and offered to pay for our first vet visit charges in exchange for our silence. The Giardia and foot infection could be considered risks that come with dogs being around other dogs, but with all the recent stories I’ve read about dogs getting sick there, I think it may point to a lack of cleanliness at their facilities, among other issues. Most of the staff at the Pet Spot we have interacted with are wonderful, and we will miss them. The management team, on the other hand, could’ve offered a bunch of different things to make this situation right. I kindly asked them to see if they could come up with something to help (a discount, partial refund of his stay when all this happened, a gift card). Instead of getting back to me with a response, I was told by their insurance agent to refrain from contacting them again. When you consider leaving your dog in their care, I hope our experience will provide insight on their facilities and how you could be treated if something goes wrong during your pet’s stay.
We love Dogtown and so does my pup Violet! It’s a relief knowing that my dog is being cared for by awesome staff while we’re away at work. Violet has made so many friends and enjoys her time there. I cannot say enough positive things about Dogtown and the people that work there, I feel so fortunate to have found them.
My dog loves Dogtown, and so do I!!! He is there 3 days a week and he drags me through the doors every single time! Having a place for him to get energy out and socialize is amazing. Plus knowing he is safe and well taken care of really eases your mind when you’re not with your pup!!!
We found Dogtown West after our first doggy daycare closed and we weren't sure at first, but our little Leo loves it there now. Now that everyone knows him, he loves going there and doesn't want to leave at night. They are all so great with the dogs. So glad we have this close by and that they love our doggies like we do.
My dog, Ziggy, loves going and playing with his friends. He is always greeted by the staff by them telling us how much they love him and Everytime we pick him up or call, they recognize him or say how much they love him. We have boarded there and done daycare. Nothing but great experiences. Highly recommend.
I love Dogtown, and so does my dog Rosie! Rosie has a membership, and goes to daycare at least twice weekly, sometimes more. Every time I drop her off at daycare, she bolts through the door. My dog is very social, and Rosie loves to be around all the dogs and employees at Dogtown. I also exclusively board and groom Rosie at Dogtown. As long as I live in Cincinnati, Rosie will be a member at Dogtown West. I cannot recommend it enough!
Our pups love going to dog town. They get lots of attention and have so much fun when there. They are worn out from continuous playing. The friendly staff loves the pups like their own.
The most horrible experiences I ever had. We tried to give them chances so many times, but all they did just made us disappointed and upset. First time, One night my husband picked up our dog, any of employees there didn’t tell him my dog got a cut on her face. Until I got home, I figured out that. My husband called them next day, what the manager’s answer was “they forgot to tell us that night, but they actually wrote it down in the journal. This won’t happen again.” Ok, that’s fine. We tried to understand. But honestly, that’s their everyday work, how come they can forget? Not even professional about their service. Second time, we checked on the camera. Quite while I couldn’t see my dog. So we called. They said my dog was at the hallway, she didn’t want to go into the room and play with dogs. Actually it’s kinda scary if you can’t see your baby for some time. The last time, which totally ruined our trust to this team. From the camera, we saw our dog was put into a smaller cage compared to other bigger ones. She is a German shepherd, a big dog, when she was in the cage, she couldn’t even straight her back and stand up and barely turn her body around. We kept checking on her about an hour, finally we called. The manager said “from our angle maybe looks smaller, but actually it’s not.” When my husband asked the reason why they put her into the cage for so long, they said ”just give her space for nap, we only let her in like 15 mins, every dog have their turn.” You can see the pictures, the dog at the corner is my dog. Look how uncomfortable she was. And the pictures with their cages, smaller ones are on the chair, bigger ones close to the window. The sizes you can count by the floor tiles/squares. I think maybe they think I am blind or a fool, so they tried to convince me I was wrong. Well, anyway, maybe because the price is cheap, we only deserve this service quality. If you have no choice to accept this team for your daycare, don’t forget to check on camera as much as you can. My advice.
My dog peaches loves dogtown. She is always super sleepy when she comes home. The dog groomer Skylar is very nice and accommodating. I highly recommend bringing your dog here for daycare, boarding, and grooming.
Our family loves dog town and our sweet husky gets so excited when he knows we are heading there! The socializing he gets with other dogs has really helped him have the best SOCIAL SKILLS! Super important with big dogs. I love that we can check in on him throughout the day on live webcams too! He went today and is so tuckered out! Helps with his behavior at home too! I'm glad we found this place and HIGHLY recommend it!
Thank you DogTown for taking care of my fur babies 😊 I am recommending this place to my friends. I was totally comfortable leaving my little dogs for 5 days. The employees I had contact with are very kind individuals…loving all dogs! One of my dogs needed medication twice a day and they were more than willing to handle this. However, my chihuahua wouldn’t take her pill (in a pill pocket) from anyone other than me! I did get a phone call concerning this issue. They did manage to get her to take the pill one time! I was fine going to the facility in the AM and PM to give her the pill. They followed my feeding instructions perfectly. When I decide to go on a trip, I will definitely bring my fur babies to DogTown West!!!
I am so happy we found Professional Pet Nanny/Kyle! The best pet care we have experienced. I felt extremely comfortable leaving our two cats and not having to worry about them. We got updates on play, medicine, food, water-you name it. Amazing care and service. We are so happy to have reliable pet care we can trust now!
This is our first time having a pet nanny and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Kyle from day one was accommodating and helped with every step. We were still nervous leaving our 4 kitties, but by day 2 didn’t worry at all. We were updated at every visit with email and pictures. She managed to get the big girls to play too! Kyle even cleaned, dishes, vacuumed, watered the plants, left lights on at night etc. And unless it’s my imagination the bigs and littles like each other a little more than when we left! The only problem is I think our cats now think we are boring and are waiting to play with Kyle again!! This will not be the last time we have Kyle and Tyler watch over our furry kiddos!!
I have had nothing but great service from Kyle and/or her team for my two cats Watson and Holmes on multiple occasions. I would recommend their services to any pet parent in the area!! Her level of service is way beyond what you pay for. For example, she changes the water fountain water each day, waters plants, and even tidies up my kitchen! I have SO much comfort in receiving the daily pictures and updates in the app after each visit while I'm away. It always makes me feel so much better seeing my cats thriving when I'm not home. And the level of playtime is EPIC! Every time Kyle plays with my cats, they have SO much fun, I buy new toys when I get home so they continue to like me as much as they like Kyle! 😹 I am so thankful to have someone trustworthy and knowledgeable care for and love my boys when I'm out of town!
I chose to switch my pet sitting needs to Professional Pet Nanny after being disappointed with reliability of Rover. I have been so pleased with the care Kyle provides for my kitties, especially the amount of time she spends getting to know them and their style of play. I receive pictures from each visit that show them playing and enjoying meals, putting my mind at ease. When I come back home, everything is just as it should be. I know my cats are more comfortable staying at home while I travel, and the app is super convenient for booking and staying in touch with updates during my travel. Would recommend to anyone who wants peace of mind knowing their pets are in professional hands!
Our cat has separation anxiety and doesn't like when we go out of town. So when they did the home visit, we were surprised how well our fur baby responded! She was playing and having a great time! We'll be booking again in the future!
As always, Professional Pet Nanny took excellent care of our kitties, Minnie, Cecil and Samuel, including playing with them each time they visited, which was twice a day! They also took care of the mail and our plants, which were so happy. Most of all, we have peace of mind knowing everything will be perfect when we’re back home.
So very happy with my services while I was away for ten days. Carmen, left amazing photos and messages about all my babies and I felt so relieved to know that they were so taken care of!!!!! Thank you!!!!
I had a wonderful experience with Professional Pet Nanny. My sitter, Kyle made my cat feel comfortable and allowed for me to not worry during my trip. The one hour of play time along with feeding worked out perfect for my high energy cat. I received photos and messages of my cat during and after the play sessions that gave me peace of mind. Professional Pet nanny is the best option in town for pet sitting!
We hired Professional Pet Nanny a few years ago since all of our family was going with us on a trip - we needed a pet sitter. We had never had anyone but family do this. We had special needs and she had to visit several times per day. We loved our experience! Nanny Kyle met our pets prior to our departure and reviewed everything with us. During our trip we received daily photos and updates. We returned to find a clean home, happy pets and a detailed visit log. Kyle even brought a new toy and catnip for the babies. There was also classical music playing for them. One of my cats was a bit chubbier than I left him but that was probably stress eating on his part! I'm just glad he was comfortable enough to be eating! She also got the mail and took the trash out. We will be taking another family trip soon - we will need a sitter - and we plan on calling Nanny Kyle!!
Kyle did a wonderful job watching our 10 year old golden doodle for overnights and day walks! Kyle is very details and wants to know everything about your house and dog to make sure nothing could go wrong! Our dog has cancer and Kyle made sure to meet all of his needs! 100 percent would recommend! She does a fantastic job and even updates you every few hours!
