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.

Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
. 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.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
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.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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, $5/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've been taking my small fluff ball of a dog to Rhonda for a few years now. She is very kind and considerate, she treats all the dogs as if they were her own. She gets to know them personally and what dogs play well with each other. She is passionate about her Kennel and is amazing.
My Corgis absolutely love Rhonda at Kaley Park Kennel! It’s a huge relief when I go on vacation and I know my dogs are in perfect hands and being Loved.!
Ronda gives my dogs tons of attention. I love her drop off method....she takes care of paperwork first then comes to your car and takes dog to play first thing. They think it's a play date!
I know my dog is safe and well-treated here. Always a very good experience. Nollie, our dog, gives it Two-Paws-Up.
This s my first time going she was very friendly n professional even tho she said my dog talked a lot the whole time she was there sorry she talked u to death but hopefully next time she’ll do much better😊thanks for your service! …
The worst kennel experience ever !!! If you love your dogs, stay away from this crazy lady! She won't even let you view the kennel !!! All they needed was a little attention !!!
This place is pretty great! They have their property secured so our pets are safe and the owners spend a lot of time with them. It’s the only place I have sent my babies to and the only place I will ever use.
Great rates and Rhonda is very friendly and accommodating. My dog loved her.
Teddy, my black lab loves Rhonda and loves the walls. Very good place. And I am picky!!
My dogs love this place and Rhonda loves my dogs! The care and attention is unmatched.
I've been bringing both of my dogs here for a little while now. My dogs have pretty different personalities but they both leave beautiful and energetic. I appreciate the care taken and the good vibes of this location. The groomers always do a great job giving my dogs a natural trim, de-shedding, and sanitary trim. I've never had a bad experience.
We were disappointed with our recent visit to Sitting Pretty. We requested a bath, blow-dry, ear cleaning, nail trimming, and teeth brushing for our dog, confirming these services both on the phone and in person before the appointment. At no point was anal gland expression mentioned to us, and we didn’t realize this would be performed as part of their standard services. When we got our dog home, she seemed uncomfortable, chewing at her butt and clearly distressed. Later that night, we noticed anal gland secretions on our bed (something that we had never had issues or experiences with before), which was upsetting for us and stressful for her. When we called to clarify, they informed us that this service was performed, but it was not communicated to us during the booking or drop-off process. While we understand this may be a standard practice for them, we feel strongly that procedures like this should be explicitly discussed beforehand. Our dog has never had her glands expressed, and this situation has left us concerned about potential future issues for her. We hope this feedback helps improve communication between staff and clients in the future so everyone is fully informed about what services are being performed during a grooming session.
Every groomer I’ve had has done a phenomenal job. The cut, the way my dog is excited to go there. The place and building itself is amazing. Only reason I’m giving a 4/5 stars is in order to be a client. I have to deal with the receptionist, who is not very customer friendly.
First time going there and they were super fast booking an appointment for my pup. KAYLEIGH was my puppy's groomer & she was beyond fabulous!!! Great customer service skills and met all of our expectations!!!100% recommend!! I will be returning thank you, Thank you, thank you!!!!
Took my cat in to get his nails trimmed. It was so quick and cheap. Though, I didn't know there were steps to get in/out. That made navigating my pet stroller awkward/slightly difficult.
The owner does an excellent job with my dilute calico cat I will continue to have her shave my cat with a lion cut it certainly helps her not to be a poopy but.
I have been twice now with my 3 huskies. They are always so soft and fluffy when I pick them up, and it's been a great experience so far.
I would highly recommend Sitting Pretty because they are very careful with your dog. When you get your dog back they come with a free bandana already tied perfectly on them. Also when my dog leaves the place she comes back smiling like she enjoyed it. I would recommend it to send them there for cutting their nails and for haircuts. 😁 …
We have a juvenile cat whose long hair is impossible to keep untangled. The staff at this salon do an incredible job giving her a lion cut that helps keep her happy and tangle-free! Appointments are easy to make, the staff are friendly, and the salon is clean and inviting.
I really like to support businesses in lakeside, that is why I first chose sitting pretty and boutique. Sitting pretty pet spa is our doggie groomer of choice every time. BAiR and I love, sitting pretty. We go to this pet salon, Monday's especially you can get a discount on getting your dog's nails trimmed. You can walk in and get your furry Friends nails trimmed for $10 I believe. You will walk in the front counter girl says hello they come out take your dog to the back area you can look at all the little dog toys and dog bones they have and then before you know it they're bringing your dog back out happy as can be. We always make sure to grab a special bone before we leave the salon. They have a cooler full of Bones up front they're very yummy I mean I wouldn't know but my BAiR always lets out a good howl when he gets a bone. They are very very very busy you need an appointment if you want to get your dog's haircut. Don't think you can walk in and get an appointment I have tried many times just because I'm not good with appointments and it's impossible they're so busy so make sure you call at least a month in advance. There is tight parking at the salon there's probably about 5 parking spots on the side of the building other than that you're going to have to park on the street. If you need a dog groomer and you have never been to sitting pretty salon I would recommend, Kristen one-hundred-percent go with. Woof woof
