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.

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
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!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet 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.
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
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, 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!
Latitia, her husband and mom are AMAZING!!! They care for our fur baby as their own. They go above and beyond to accommodate us in anyway. The best part of leaving our fur baby with them is watching him get excited and run to them when he sees them. We found Funsize Pet Sitting 2 years ago and they’ve been a Blessing. We receive pictures everyday which keeps us at ease knowing he’s ok. We would recommend them to anyone🩷
Our girls (2 boxers and English bulldog) love being “boarded” here. They are well taken care of and enjoy the personal attention. I love the daily photos and updates. Definitely recommend
Our spoiled babies are loved and cared for by these two while we are away, for a couple of years now. We get regular communication and pictures. Highly recommend!
This family has watched our dog for many years with care and love. They are true professionals who love what they do, and we highly recommend them. We would not choose anyone else.
I have taken my fur babies here for a long time and have been very happy with the service I received for my fur babies. I will not go anywhere else unless she doesn't have room. I am referring anyone looking for a sitter to check this place out. They go above and beyond.
Very dependable, and reliable. Puppup looks forward to seeing her buddies all the time. Snacks, and a lot of play time. Check them out. 🙂🙂🙂 …
It's not what it used to be...... They will feed your dogs, let them out (I Think).... Very Unorganized ..... On pick up I had to ask for collars and leahes.... Food & treats.... we had left.... i think they are understaffed for the amount of boarding #'s they are taking in.... 12/23/24- Took our 2 dogs back thinking maybe it was a fluke ........ nope, just as bad and worse.... they are way understaffed and just milking every customer for fees not advertised or told of.... the Exit bath is a joke.... my dogs were given to me like they had just went swimming, smelling like wet Dog.....& $17 each.....what a sham............... asked about food I had left, no asking anybody, said they had eaten it all.....?????. I do not recommend this place....... defiantly a last resort. ... it's a pound operating in disguise...... animal shelters are operated better....... don't walk away from this place. ....... RUN......!!!!!!
My dog spent 6 days there during spring break. They offer play time (and pool time). The staff was very kind and friendly and Maverick was happy when I picked him up. I will definitely be using puppy day care and grooming services soon.
This has been the best place for my German Shepherd, Bentley! He’s just under 1 and he has so much fun every time he goes. They give him lots of attention and he gets to interact with lots of dogs throughout the day. They also have a pool which is great for the summer days so the doggies can cool off from the sun. Their staff truly cares about the dogs, my dog hurt his nail while playing by the pool and I received a call immediately which I thought was awesome, and a couple days after I also received an email following up to see how my puppy was doing and I absolutely loved that! Bentley will definitely keep going back! Oh and also! They take great pictures with backdrops and props! I’m totally obsessed with my puppy’s 4th of July pics! Highly recommend Noah’s Ark if you need somewhere for your dog ❤️
Love how well my two grown german Shepherds are groomed they are in great hands 👌 ♥️ 🐕🦺🦮 …
Just took Buddy for a Nail Trim & Bath. Groomer is there on Mondays & was very thorough & explained everything he did including bath, scrubbed foot pads, nail trim, Brushed teeth, cleaned ears & removed excess hair. Buddy looks & smells Amazing! Great Job! $15 Nail Trim & $21 for Bathing. Friendly Staff & very clean facility on Marsh Road in Deland!
Customer service was terrible the owner talk down to us as we waited 45 mins. We called hours ahead of pick up ahead but walk-in new customers placed in front of the line , subpar not very friendly matter fact and overpriced. Bad experience from a long time customer since 1988 sorry to say will not be back.
I Took my dog to Noah’s Ark because I heard about the pool, it was close by and I didn’t really want her in the lake at the amazing dog park we usually take her to due to the heat possibly affecting the lake. I did question Owner Nathan and office manager London about a review I read about a dog passing from dehydration after going to Noah’s Ark. They advised me that was a 19’year old dog that had to be carried in and was on its way out. My first impression was not the best, it’s not too kept up, the urine wasn’t cleaned from the create in the front when I walked in and the smell was not great. I was told I could not tour without notice to be sure the floors were dry. I decided to give it a 4 hour trial anyway. NEVER again will I go against MY GUT! My dog came back SEVERELY DEHYDRATED, LETHARGIC and not from playing or being tired. From dehydration. My dog was out of it. Her urine color was dark yellow to where it looked like it could have blood in it. All which are signs of sever dehydration. We hydrated her and her vet advised if her urine was still dark in the morning to bring her in. In the morning after hydration through the night, her urine was fine and she was getting back to a mid normal behavior. By afternoon her behavior was totally back to normal. I waited to do a review after trying a different place today. A week later. I tried one I could tour without notice and that has cameras for me to see my dog as she played and how she was. My dog came back from PET PARADISE in Sanford after not 4 but 7 hours! Her urine was normal, her behavior was just as if she’d had a day at the park and she wasn’t out of it. This is when I decided my dog could have died left longer at Noah’s Ark, the dog that did die was most likely as mine and left not checked in and severally dehydrated. PET PARADISE may be a bit further but it told me all I needed to know and it’s well worth the drive. Beautiful pool, great staff and you get to watch your fur baby enjoy their day as well as the staff interact with them and they are checked on to make sure they are drinking through their stay. I will never take my baby to Noah’s Ark again. She still has plenty of life left in her and I want her to enjoy it and not die from Negligence and painfully from being dehydrated. If you love your pup, I suggest you don’t take them to Noah’s Ark. if your gut says this doesn’t look great, listen to it. After your dogs visit watch it. Their pee color says a lot, their behavior is different between tired and lethargic. Watch them close and pay close attention. I wouldn’t suggest Noah’s Ark to anyone and I feel awful my baby had to have that as her first experience and no it wasn’t anxiety as owner Nathan also tried to say. Our vet who is also our sister in law confirmed our baby was dehydrated and neglected. No excuse for it. They say they love dogs, they use to rescue them, they are looking at opening other facilities for them. They need to work on properly taking care of them first before they cause anymore to lose their life.
My dog loves it here! Daycare is amazing, and he has a great day every time he goes!
Would have given 0 stars but it is not possible. I'll be brief: if you value the lives of your pets, DO NOT take them here! To those who are passionate about caring for animals, DO NOT work here! We lost our dog after being rushed to the ER straight from picking her up. Nobody sought medical care to a dying dog laying on the floor unresponsive and barely conscious. Owner Nathan is a charm and his lack of empathy and consideration showed how much he actually cares about these innocent souls. I can just imagine what the owner's version to a review like this will be but in the end dated and timestamped medical documentation has but one version. Embrace your loved furry ones and please spare them and yourselves the suffering of such a hard loss. Research, research, research... You'll find other unfortunate stories... UPDATE 07/14/2023: As expected from an untruthful owner: 1. Dog was 18 but I don't care about age accuracy. All I care is that the dog was handed healthy and responsive with normal weight. The phone call that they allege is also false. We never received any phone calls. 2. I did not call Animal Control, I contacted Animal Services which is my right and I did not accuse the facility of abusing other pets. I accused the facility for neglect and abuse of MY pet. This is also my right and is indeed public record. If Animal Services decided to run an overall inspection, then that's per their own protocols but not per my request as falsely suggested by owner. 3. Animal Services did not ascertain that dog died of natural causes. Again, you want to talk about records I'll gladly provide all records that show and state from the ER itself that the dog was emaciated and dehydrated upon arrival among other very worrisome bodily states. As to her passing away from natural causes, again much facts owner is ignoring. The dog did not die in the ER, the dog die at our family veterinary. Since the family vet did not treat dog upon removal from boarding facility they were not the ones to state dehydration. Again, it was the ER. By the time we got our dog to the family vet we had already hydrated her at the ER and at home for days so of course the family vet had nothing else to add on record than died of natural causes. Would it had died on the ER the assessment would have been very different. 4. Animal Services has their hands tied due to archaic FL laws that regard animals as an object with fair market value at time of death. This accompanied by the fact that they'll investigate up to the effort that they wish to spend. Video cameras are in facility and I had requested to have these reviewed to counter my own claim and prove that dog was taken care of at all times at the designated office space and this was not done, much less handed over for review. Animal Services will not move a finger to get a subpoena for videos for not going through the hassle of establishing probable cause. Let a worker get their salary doing the bare minimum and that's what you'll get. And so, the very simple proof of a dog laying lifeless on the floor captured by their own very cameras is forever kept in the dark. 5. Upon an emergency common sense dictates that you seek medical attention regardless of communication with owner being made. This was never attempted. For anyone interested in all documents and records, including those that the very owner is citing here with untrue statements, feel free to look them up or request them and I'll gladly provide them. As to the great responsiveness of the owner, again, research for yourselves. You'll find plenty of harsh comments made by a person whose lack of manners is evidenced just at first glance. This is not a passion for the owner, its a matter of money so I dedicate myself now to facilities that, while earning a profit, truly care about their pets with care and compassion and whose employees and owners have basic decency, respect, and courteousness.
Wouldn’t recommend this place and definitely won’t take my dogs back. Not only did they close early without letting us know, resulting in us having to board our dogs another night we were not informed about these “exit baths” that they now require. Called and got quoted a price which was inaccurate at checkout.. told 3 employees one of my dogs was under 40 pounds, we got charged for her being over 40 pounds. Also was never told about how we’d be required to pay $15 per dog for a bath that they require because “they want the dogs to go home fresh and nice and clean” I don’t see how any boarding place makes it mandatory to give dogs a bath but seems like it’s just a way to make more money off of people. Also didn’t get told about these baths until I was dropping my dogs off so had no time to look for a different place to board them. Will not be bringing my dogs back here. After reading the response to my review.. we originally were coming back on the 30th and that’s what I told the employees. Not once did they mention closing early due to Memorial Day. Also what good does it do me if the signs for the bath are posted at the facility when I call to book. That is something your employees should be trained.. to inform customers of all costs especially when asking for a price quote. No one wants to be hit with additional charges the day of drop off because guess what! By then it’s too late to find a new place to board. After seeing how the owners reply to negative reviews, it really shows that you guys lack in customer service and I’ll be so happy to never bring my dogs back and to let anyone I speak with know not to come here as well
My Rosie has been going to daycare at Vetted K9 three days a week since she was about 5 months old. All I need to say to her in the morning is "Want to go see your friends?" and she knows that she is going to daycare. Socialization has always been a priority since we adopted her from a 10 pup rescue litter and there is no better place than Vetted K9 that I trust to care for my baby. Jeff is always willing alto take the time to make reservations for me because I always have a hard time with the app, it's operator error and not the apps fault. 😀 I'd give Vetted K9 10 stars if I could...Jeff and wife truly care about the pups as they were their own. 🥰
Vetted K9 is the BEST! Our two pups love spending the day with their friends running and playing at daycare! They are both cared for so well and are worn out when they get back home. You can tell that Jeff, the owner, truly loves dogs. We also love the photos that are posted online during their stays; it allows me to keep up with them!
I boarded my puppy here for two weeks, which included one week of training. When she returned, she was much calmer and knew all the tricks listed on his website! Jeff also posts the dogs on his Facebook multiple times a day, every day, and he always answers the phone when you call. :) 🩷 …
We found this wonderful place because Florida Wild closed their play dates. We were so fortunate to find Vetted K9. Jeff and their family/team are great with the dogs. Our Bella is so happy and we are Too!
We have been boarding our Shepherd at Vetted K9 for over two years now. There is nowhere else better to board your pet. They take great care of her and she loves going to Vetted K9. Jeff also did training with her when she was a puppy.
Jeff has helped our cavapoo puppy tremendously! Waffles completed the one week board and train and came home with lots of new skills. The boarding facility is clean and the online booking system is professional and easy to use. We would recommend Vetted K9 to any of our friends with furry family members!
I love taking my dogs here for boarding, I know they really love their time spent here, they always come home happy and wore-out. I'm so happy I found vetted K9, they do dog boarding differently. Most places we checked out would only let our dogs out 3 times a day from the hours of 8a-5p. Our dogs are used to going out several times a day from 6a-11p. Vetted k9 let's then out several times a day and for extended hours, which I really appreciate. They post pictures on Facebook of the dogs, which let's me know they're having a great time and being well taken care of. I will continue to take my pets here without hesitation!
We dropped one dog off for two week training. She did okay but was scared. A month later we boarded both dogs. They were well taken care of. They posted photos on social media for us to keep watch. The owner is very knowledgeable and was very helpful.
My pup LOVES it here! Jeff really loves these dogs and I feel my pup is very safe. Facility is clean and check in and out is a breeze!
Hands down, the best place to leave your dogs if you want them cared for and socialized. No better trainer, boarder or daycare.
Not only do I have many of my own pets, but I foster rescues. With a houseful of animals, I was always nervous traveling and leaving them at home. Until I found Jes. Now I wouldn't trust anyone else. I have cats and dogs, and they all react positively to her. She quickly earned their trust, even the cranky cats! I love getting pics when she visits. I see that my furballs are happy and it puts my mind at ease. I've used her services dozens of times over the last three years. Everything from a random afternoon when we were not going to be home to week long trips. The dogs are elderly and take medicine. I've had neonatal kittens that need to be bottle fed. Never have there been issues with either. I literally trust her with my babies lives.
