Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
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!
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
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!
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!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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, 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!
Sherri and I bought two fantastic burner puppies for Stacee and Keith. To make sure the puppies are adequately socialized and old enough for transfer to their forever home, we had to wait until the puppies were 10 weeks old. To say it was difficult to wait is an understatement. Stacee did an outstanding job keeping the new fur parents apprised of the puppies progress. We formed a bond, not only with the breeder, the puppies and some of the other fur parents. The care, selection and knowledge of Baby Bear awesome. We totally appreciate and applaud the diligence in their breeding program. Thanks Stacee and Keith.
We were exploring the Redwoods parks and needed a place for our 2 year old boxer during the daytime. She loved RRR. Had lots of fun playing with other dogs all day. 15 min drive from our campsite at Del Norte Mill Creek Redwoods state park. Highly recommend.
We have been bringing our 9 year old Lab cross, Smokey, here for 8 years! We just adopted a 7 mos old lab cross from the shelter (we got Smokey also from the shelter when he was 9 weeks old). Claire has been wonderful. Smokey has always whined in excitement when we turn on her street in anticipation! Skye, the puppy was gulping Smokey's food after her food and Claire separated them into 2 kennels when we boarded them for 2 weeks. He eats slowly ;). We absolutely trust her to do what's best for our dogs. She is knowledgeable and separates the shy dogs from the more active ones. Leaving our dogs here is like leaving them with family. We are so grateful to have a place like Red Rover to leave them. Claire is the best!
I can not nor will not recommend bring your dog to Red Rover Ranch! The lady seems very nice and was great at communicating the things that is going to be happening with our dog while she was there. My boyfriend and I spoke to her a few times on the phone and obviously in person before we decided to entrusted our dog to stay with her for roughly 2 weeks while we were out of town. When we returned our dog had fresh cuts on her nose and face, the lady never communicated with us what had happened nor did she tell us when we picked her up I found out after looking at her face and seeing fresh blood. I have been going back-and-forth on what we can do but I know that I need to leave a review to warn people before they make the same decision as my boyfriend and I did. It has been a few weeks since we have got her back and as of today she still has marks on her nose that we believe are going to just be scars.
Such an amazing place. I heard about this place from ladies at the dog park. The owner Clare is a godsend!!! She’s great with dogs. Cares about them and their well being. She will work with you and such modest great rates compared to the wag or rover app. Come here first!!! You won’t want to go anywhere else. It’s better here than at the vets. The dogs are loved and cared for. Felt good leaving my baby here
I always take my 85 pound Labradoodle to Red Rover Ranch when we're going out of town for a few days. He gets good exercise and is placed with other friendly, non aggressive dogs. A bath is available when it's pick up time and the rates are very competitive. Clean kennels, too.
Very poor service. We made an appointment to have our dog watched for a few hours while in town on vacation. We tried to confirm the appointment the day before but could not get any one to answer the phone or return our call. We arrived at the scheduled time and there was no one even at the dog daycare.there were at least 3 dogs in a fenced area that was over grown with weeds. With no supervision.
Claire, the owner, is absolutely wonderful. She treats the dogs like her own and gas a real way with them. I will be using her any time I have to board my animals.
Claire, the owner is terrific! She is friendly and takes great care of my dog=))
Dogs were set up nicely. No complaints. Very nice lady runs the place.
They wirk with rescues to find beautiful dogs their forever home. I love my boy.
