I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
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!
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.
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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!
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, $15/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 am picking my dog Ollie up today, this is the third time he has been there. No complaints at all the price is reasonable, the staff is friendly, and most importantly Ollie was taken care of. I would higly recommend them, and will continue to take Ollie for years to come.
I have a special needs dog. He is a rescue and was severely abused, causing him to get violent if he is enclosed in a kennel. Kitty allows him to stay in her office so he doesn’t hurt himself. She always accommodates his anxiety and her staff has been very helpful in managing his issues. It is also important to know that this place is alway impeccably clean and the pups are given clean soft blankets to lay on. I won’t consider taking my boys anywhere else!
Been going for years and they have always treated me and my pets with great care and kindness
I have 2 small dogs, and never had to put my dogs in a kennel before. My dogs took quickly to staying here. The owner and workers were helpful, and very nice. I was worried because my one dog has anxiety issues. He had no problems. Definitely will take my dogs here again.
Never worry about your pets there. They definitely give your pet the attention they deserve when you are not around. Whether it's a day or week the prices are super. If you plan on using them make plans a few weeks ahead of time for reservations they are really busy so that should tell you how good they are.
Everything was quick and simple, but i left a bag with my dog full of his items and when they handed it back to me it was torn to shreds? Saying my dog or some other dog chewed it up. Then when we get home he has diarrhea and blood in it. So chances are he has a piece of the bag in his intestines and if thats the case, Id like to know WHY he wasnt being watched and WHY he was even able to reach his bag? Very upset.
Kitty and her caring, kind, staff are absolutely wonderful. They took such excellent care of my Teddy 🐕 while I was out of town for 14 days. I trust them completely, and higy recommend them,,,thankyou again everyone 🙏 ❤️ …
Kitty takes exceptional care of my dog when I am on vacation. The kennel is next to her house and someone is always there. I feel at ease leaving my dog with Kitty. The kennel is spacious and always clean. I highly recommend Animal House for boarding your fur baby.
I had a favorable impression based on the visit so for. One experience makes it a little hard to give a whole-hearted, blanket recommendation but would definitely bring my boys back again. The price is very, very reasonable. I've paid considerably more elsewhere.
Our dog Cash loves it there, they take very good care of him. He can't wait to get in when we get there. He has anxiety and he does very well there.
Called the night before to confirm our appointment and I offered to email the dogs vaccine record. They said they needed a paper copy. Arrived at 8 am to get our dog groomed and they asked for a bordetello vaccine record. Provided the record provided by the breeder. They said they didn't accept it. I called the breeder and got the number of the vet that gave the vaccine. He confirmed it was valid and given. They said they'd groom the dog this one time and if she got kennel cough it was my fault and I'd be responsible if she gave it to other dogs. Called at 11 am to see if the dog was done and she wasn't even back to be groomed yet. Picked the dog up and decided not to have it groomed here.
Terry is always well taken care of and I know I will be informed of any problems. It's nice to not have to worry about his care.
They took care of our dog over a weekend and seemed very nice. Our dog dog didn't seem to distressed when we picked her up.
Made us get a Covid “wash/spray” last year when we boarded our dog. Said we could not board our dog without it. Forced us to pay 💰 for the wash/spray.
My dog came back to me 4 pounds lighter, with a cough, runny nose, and hoarse with an obvious sore throat.
I cannot say how much I love these guys! We take our Springers there for grooming and they always come back looking so beautiful.
The workers are very nice and our doggies enjoy their stay. Very reasonable cost.
These people care about each and every animal that comes through the door and they treat them like their own.
Always great care got our pets when on vacation.
Get your fur babies clean, and groomed!!
This is a fantastic small business run by a true pet lover, with a huge fenced in yard to exercise the dogs, daily photos and kind texts, and lots of play time with the other dogs who are boarding at Mad Pawz. Truly first rate in every respect, with clear communications and fair pricing. The owners are lovely people who will love your dogs. Our family travels regularly. And as much as we love them, we can't always take our two dogs with us. A friend recommended trying Faith and her family at Mad Pawz for the very best care in the area. And our friend was right - we feel like we hit the jackpot in dog boarding.
Faith and Justin at Mad Pawz are awesome! They sent us photos and updates of our Luna everyday and even got her a pup cup for spoil your pup day! When we picked Luna up, Faith was very informative on how everything went. 10/10 recommend!!
We found Mad Pawz by chance while we were frantically looking to board our Bo right before a trip Puerto Rico. The place we normally take him was full because of course we wait until the last minute. Of course I was hesitant as he had never gone there before but I tell you what, I’m normally not a lucky person, but we hit the jackpot. Mad Pawz isn’t a typical boarding facility, it’s a home away from home. What boarding facility has ever sent you pictures of your pets every single day? Without fail, every day I received a picture of Bo and I could tell that he was so happy to be there by the look on his face. It made me smile and tear up a little every single time. He’s not sad in a kennel all day. He’s happy and playing with his new best friends! It gave me a peace of mind that you can’t really even put a price tag on. I didn’t worry about him for one second while I was gone. I only leave reviews if I am so extremely happy with something that I feel I have to tell others. If you’re looking for a HOME (not a kennel) away from home for your pets, I can’t recommend anywhere better!
You couldn't find a better place to board your furbabies than Mad Pawz! You can tell instantly it's more than a job to Faith and Justin. It's a passion, and that's what makes Mad Pawz our first choice for our pet boarding needs! Oh, and the daily pictures of our pups didn't hurt either!
Mad Pawz takes great care of my dog when I'm away, and it's been a big help with her socialization with other dogs. Prices are fair, and with their new location, the dogs have a big yard to play in.
A+++ service, friendly, pet oriented care. This is our go to pet boarding and drop in dog walking service. Price is very reasonable. Your fur baby is in good hands here!!!
It was a great atomsphere for my 2 dogs they had a blast, Mad Pawz sent me photos of them playing or laying around relaxin. They had a party and the dogs get pup cups. Thanks Mad Pawz job well done
I was very apprehensive about leaving our boy Loki with a boarding place and I’m so glad we chose Mad Pawz! He was taken such great care of and he absolutely loved it there. He was treated like one of the family and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was doing so well! They send daily updates and photos and that was wonderful! Highly recommend this for your fur babies!
Horrible customer service from Faith. She did not check the paperwork or ask any questions prior to his first visit nor did she try to get to know him before taking him inside. We heard Faith screaming at the other dogs from the front yard when we arrived. Then she continued to tell us that she was leaving to run errands but her husband was in the yard. When we arrived for pickup, Justin was in the yard and the dogs were inside. Completely unacceptable to be paying for a sitter and he’s not being monitored especially when other dogs are present. Justin was very nice and friendly during pickup and the only positive outcome of this experience
Such an amazing dog daycare spot! My family & I went to go experience the Allegheny train ride, so we needed to drop our little fur baby for a couple hours. He had lots of fun with the other dogs and would definitely recommend it to others! Faith was super sweet and we felt very comfortable dropping our little pup.
My fiance and I rescued a puppy a few months ago, and quickly realized how hard it was to find healthy food, treats and chews at our local stores. Pet Wants has EVERYTHING we could have ever hoped for. Every product they carry is natural/ organic and most is even "human grade", this is NOT a milk bone and bleached rawhide establishment! We have been so impressed with not only the products but the staff as well. They are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and have helped guide us to exactly what we need. We purchase all of our food and treats here and urge all our friends and family to do the same!
I love this place! Very nice and helpful staff, nice variety of cat food, toys, treats, etc (as well as many dog items). And my cats have never looked as healthy as they have since being put on the amazing food (we buy the cat and kitten grain free). They also offer delivery and online orders. Just a great store.
Cute little pet shop in town. Has a nice size of pet merchandise at a reasonable price. Friendly staff. Watch out for the little puppy at the door! He likes to greet people. Definitely will return.
Wonderful service and truly dedicated to dogs. Their dog food may be a little pricey but well worth the expense and what a difference in our pup’s coat. The food has stabilized her weight. The owner even delivers our purchase. A real asset to our surrounding area!
Pet Wants has everything your your pet needs from treats, food, leashes, harnesses and more. If they don’t have something they will try to get it for you. They also have delivery service. Great place and very friendly. Highly recommend
Visiting the town from the Cumberland train ride. Ate locally and went next door to this place. The owners (assuming) was absolutley wonderful people, they went above and beyond to help our family. We love supporting wonder local shops just like this. Thank you!
I called the place 20 minutes before closing, showed up and he helped me with everything I needed explained everything we bought. Their selection was fantastic, actually ended up buying extra items because of how helpful the staff was! Their selection of toys and treats is phenomenal I highly recommend anybody that loves their animal to visit the store
Amazing I'm glad Cody recommended this place. Our 6 mouth old German shepherd was having the runs and we tried 3 different foods nonw of them see to help. So we asked Cody and he said to try this place we did and she loves the food and it helped with her stomach problems. 100% recommend this place. Thank you for the great food. I'm headed up that way right now to get more. I only got a 10lbs bag before to try it out and make sure Rosie like it and it helped. I will not buy any other food from now on.
I went here today for the Grand Opening! Really clean and nice atmosphere and the staff were very kind. I wanted to try the food because my dog is such a picky eater and everyday is a battle! I got the lamb and brown rice kibble and she liked it and ate it up with enthusiasm! So happy this place is in town! We really needed it!
Quality pet food, treats and toys. Staff are incredibly helpful to work with! They also offer local delivery options as well. I don’t have the words to describe how pleased I am to have them in our community to service the needs of our fur family.
We took our two Shih Tzu's, to Brooke to groom. Brooke did an amazing job. I couldn't believe how fast she was able to groom them. They looked great and smelled great. Brooke was very nice and professional. Her shop is very clean and doesn't smell like dogs. Even the grooming area was clean. I will definitely be taking my fur babies to Brooke again. Thank you Brooke 😊
Brooke takes good care of our Snickers. He not only looks great with his new fur trim but smells nice too. Her new little shop is so cute.
Jasmine continually does a great job grooming our Pomeranians. She is always very friendly while Bandit and Dolly seem to love her! A great place for a pet spa day!!
We loved them!!! Most importantly my Holly loved them. They cut her perfect. Very professional!! Easy to find and to park. Thank you!!
Brooke is wonderful witth the dogs and their people. She takes care of special needs and special requests.
Brooke is the best! She does a great job grooming my dog and has reasonable prices!
They will not return phone calls. Period. Tryed serval times on the recommendation of friends, but no return calls.
Fast & Friendly. They do a great job and have great prices. I recommend.
This place is awesome. People are very nice and do amazing work on animals.
They never returned my phone calls :(
Jessica and Kevin are the very best caretakers for your pet. My dog Pinky warmed up to them faster than she’s warmed up to any sitters, including my own family members! This is because they showered her with true kindness and even love. They were great to work with - very accommodating and sent updates. They will welcome your pet into their family, and I am so happy we found them. Highly recommend & we will use again.
Jess and Kevin were able to watch our dogs on a last minute trip for us. The pups were so happy and content being there. It was obvious how well they were taking care of. Only 30 minutes from Oakland. We will definitely use their services again. Thank you both!
