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.
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
strongly recommend Christine and Phil to housesit for your kitty. Our pets, Babbles and Cousin Eddy, and property, were in very good hands while we where away for two weeks. They had a fair amount entailed with two cats on different food and needs. Cousin Eddy, or Edoardo, is a barn cat we recently adopted. Eddy is very sweet and stays outside but hangs out the side door wanting to be petted and fed; Bubbles is an indoor cat. Both cats were spoiled by Christine and Phil! Christine and Phil were also very caring and attentive with the needs of our Airbnb guests. During the time we were away they kept us updated daily (including photos of the cats). When we came home, our house was perfect, with lovely fresh flowers, notes for us, and our cats had been well-cared-for. They are wonderful house sitters, and we highly recommend them. They were Five-star sitters of our house and cats!
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.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
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!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
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!
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?

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.

Highly recommend Anna's Ark Pet Boarding. We booked our fur- babies for a stay 10/4/24-10/12/24. This kennels location is very beautiful, the play area is perfect, and safe. The building is very clean, temperature controlled, and charming. The space inside is also excellent. This small kennel is perfect for anyone who loves their fur-babies and doesn't want to have to worry when gone on vacation, a getaway, or date night. The staff. The owner is a certified vet tech, so that brings great comfort knowing our girls would be cared for in all ways. While on our trip we received update photos and video's on how our babies were doing. That made our trip even better, knowing how they were doing. Other things we loved, was the daily walks they received, the play time, which included arts and crafts, and a TV in the Kennel which is a calming help for our girls. Also they are monitored by camera 24/7 which adds a since of safety and care I have not found anywhere else. We will definitely be using Anna's Ark Pet Boarding for our fur-babies.
I’m so thankful I found Anna’s Ark Pet Boarding! From the second I dropped my dog off, I could tell he was in great hands. Anna and her family are so friendly, and you can tell they genuinely care about the pets they look after. They took the time to get to know my dog and made sure he felt comfortable. The facility is clean, spacious, and cozy. I got regular updates, including photos, which made me feel so much better while my dog was there. I’ll definitely be bringing him back next time I need to board him. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and loving place for their pets!
I recently left my dog at Anna's Ark Dog Kennel for 10 days, and I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention he received. The staff were incredibly attentive, ensuring he felt comfortable and loved throughout his stay. The facilities were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, providing a safe and happy environment. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear they truly care about the animals, and my dog came home happy, healthy, and well taken care of. I highly recommend Anna’s Ark to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!
Anna and her husband treat Iris as if she was her own, Iris loves going there and is extremely well looked after. I would 100% recommend Anna's Ark Pet Boarding to anyone wanting assurance that their furbaby will be very well looked after.
Anna was wonderful! Our sweet, older boy had never been boarded and we were very nervous and apprehensive about leaving him. Anna sent us daily pictures and videos and we could tell that she was giving him extra love and attention. He was well-taken care of and loved his daily walks and ball time.
Anna's Ark Boarding is top-notch boarding for your furbabies! We have 4 chihuahuas, and one (my rescue) has pretty bad anxiety from previous trauma. I would trust Nikki again with my babies, she is FANTASTIC!!! 💜🩷💚 …
Leaving town, but not sure where your fur babies will be loved and taken care of like you would? Anna’s Ark Pet Boarding is your place! I always know that my dogs will have a great time playing and taking walks with Nikki and Tom.
The absolute best kennel we have ever used. She treats every pup like her own. She shares pictures and keeps u updated on your fur baby. Blitz is a high energy puppy who loves his sleepovers!!
So grateful to have found such an amazing place to board my dog. The owner, Nikki, put in time, heart, and dedication to build a relationship with my dog who has significant trauma and had a history of growling and lunging when scared. With all that my dog has gone through, trust comes after working through significant fear at times. Highly recommend!!
Nikki has taken great care of my dogs past and present. She’s very attentive; loving and treats my fur babies like her own. Given her background and education, I know my dogs are always in good care and that gives me peace of mind when I have to leave them. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants their pet to be loved and cared for.
