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.

It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
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!
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.
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!
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 :)
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks 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, $20/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!
I used to board my dog (50+ per day) and pay friends to take care of the cats at home (40/day). We tried Pernas to combine costs and it saved us money and also the animals (and house) were better attended. The feedback from every visit is really impressive and I have to say we got a lot of enjoyment out it the pictures and awards. The owner is amazing and we enjoyed the pre-service home visit, it was really fun! I don’t know why anyone uses a boarding facility now that I have had this experience. Also the software and website she has work perfectly.
These are some of the best people in the world. We have an elderly (and sometimes grumpy) Labrador mix, who has thrived under the care of Caitlin, Linda, Amanda, Claire, and Clinton. If you want loving, caring people to take care of your beloved pets, this is it. Every walker we’ve encountered is so special: a few times, I was working from home, and I could hear them singing and laughing with my dog - it was too sweet! On days where the weather is an issue, these folks devise fun little games with treats or snuggle up with my old gal. They never rush - they love animals so much, and it shows. Thankful to have found this group of exceptional people who make our lives easier and sunnier!
Perna's Pet Care is always so reliable, and I never have to worry about my cat when I'm away! They leave me detailed updates when they visit, and I know my cat is in good hands!
Perna’s Pet Care solved my stress in going out of town. I have four cats, one of which needs a little extra attention and medication. Thanks to Perna’s Pet Care, someone comes twice a day to check in, give medicine/food, clean the boxes, and even play with the cats. They will even do household chores like take out/in the trash, get your mail, water plants, etc. However, the best part of the service is that you receive photos and a written overview of every visit. A big thank you to Mason & Svetlana who have taken care of our cats on several occasions! We appreciate you!
Used Pernas Pet care for the first time this week. I have an older, needy cat, who needs meds. I honestly felt at ease right away. They send you detailed visit info with pics and they were great with following instructions. Dishes and litter boxes were cleaned. He unfortunately has Ibd and vomits, which they cleaned up after too. Thank you so much 😊 .
Caitlin is always so responsive and helpful when we are in a bind! She takes great care of our pups and we will continue to use her services. I have a 130 lb Newfoundland, and he is not the easiest dog to manage but she always does well with him. She understands the exercise needs for XL dog breeds and knows when he is getting too hot to continue. I recommend her services a thousand times over!!
Caitlin is the absolute best. Love the easy to use online portal for booking and requests, getting regular updates while we are gone, ALL the pics that she sends (and the bonus of seeing the puppies on her instagram story!)... She has always been so accommodating - and very understanding about us being super anxious and paranoid anytime we leave the dogs. You can tell Caitlin really loves animals and is absolutely someone we trust to stay in our home, and watch over our pups. Our dane woke up from a nap and looked toward the front door when I was watching Caitlin's instagram story one day, no joke - the dog seriously heard her voice talking to a puppy and got so happy. (The only fear I have now about leaving is that one day we will come home and they'll confess they secretly love her more than us, haha!)
There are so many great things to say about Caitlin and her team at Perna's Pet Care. I use the dog walking service regularly and have been incredibly satisfied with the level of care. I get pictures of my dogs in action on their walks and a full report of their behavior/activities (ex. if they pooped, got treats, etc.) every day. Scheduling and communicating with Caitlin and the other dog walkers is easy and quick. I have had nothing but stellar experiences, and I highly recommend Perna's Pet Care!
We (and our two big dogs) love Caitlin from Perna's Pet Care. Earlier this year was our first time leaving our dogs and being able to schedule drop-in visits throughout the day with someone we trust has definitely helped us feel less stressed! We have booked Caitlin throughout the summer and are so happy with her services. The dogs are always excited to see Caitlin. The report cards we receive after each visit include pictures of our dogs playing and snuggling, and let us know how they are doing. We would definitely recommend Perna's Pet Care if you're looking for someone trustworthy and animal-loving to help you out with your furry family members.
Perna’s has been amazing for us. Caitlin is incredibly flexible and responsive. My schedule frequently changes and she always works with me on last minute adjustments. It means a lot to have a reliable group of walkers that I trust to come into my home and help out with my dog…and with all my friend’s dogs that come to visit. Highly recommend.
So beyond thankful for the services and communication from Doggie Latchkey. Our sweet Angel absolutely loves David and is so excited to see him on her walk days. Thankful for him going above and beyond to ensure that Angel is well taken …
I would give Doggie Latchkey 10 stars if I could! They have been amazing to work with since the very first consultation with the owner Denise. We got a dog for my Grandmother living in Assisted Living in September and the team of dog …
We recently needed care for our family dog at short notice. Doggie Latchkey came to our rescue and sent us Angela who went above and beyond all our expectations. She was so kind and caring to our high energy fox hound mix. She brought him …
