Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
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!
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.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
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!
I made my reservation with them for boarding in July of 2024 in NOVEMBER of 2023. I have 3 dogs that need to be kenneled together and it is VERY HARD to find a spot for all 3 of them without advance notice. In May I emailed them to confirm and they confirmed for July. Around July 1 I had heard some gossip they were closed and I called and was alarmed to hear an outgoing message saying they were temporarily closed but would be open "soon." I tried emailing multiple times and got NO RESPONSE. My vacation at this point could not be refunded and was thousands of dollars and the only vacation we could afford all year. I finally got a hold of somebody at the kennel via facebook who told me off record they were closed for not passing inspections, were doing renovations and they might be open a few days prior to my drop off date but I should "maybe" look for alternatives. What the HELL? Trying to find a place to board 3 dogs with less than two weeks notice was a nightmare. I was lucky to find a place and almost had to cancel my vacation and would have lost thousands of dollars. The place seems to be run by people who think nothing of telling people the day they're supposed to drop off their pets that the place is closed. It is incredibly greedy to not let us know they were closed when it happened in May to warn us so we could find an alternate place because they were hoping the kennel would be open in time to take our money. They said they felt confident they would re open but it's a good thing I made backup plans because they did NOT pass reinspection and open in time for our vacation. This is not a place I would feel safe leaving our pets due to this irresponsible, selfish behavior that shows they're all about money and don't care about their clients or the animals.
We had boarded with them before, booked a stay for my two dogs while we planned to be gone for over a week. We did this almost three months in advance. We found out they canceled on us, AFTER I tried calling to confirm a detail over and over for a week and couldn’t get them to answer or respond. I finally got a hold of a groomer who told me they were shut down for some unknown reason. I got this information ONLY 10 days before our trip. I had to scramble to get family to watch my dogs. They didn’t seem to care at all. They were more upset about their own “loss of work”. I would never use this place again, do not board your dogs here. They have no concern for their customers and did not even have the decency to call me to tell me what was going on. I still have no idea why they are not open. In the end I am glad to find out the type of boarding company they are before I left my precious pups there again, if they won’t tell me what is going on with ANY notice at all, what would they have done with my dogs while I was away? Not sure if they are new ownership Or something but don’t send your dogs here! You are warned.
Perfect place to board your dogs. Lots of play time and sometimes dogs get to mingle in the office area with the staff. Big play area and cozy boarding stalls with a small outdoor run attached. The staff is awesome and if you need any vacs for your pet they can do it right there.
My two dogs were here for 4 days we picked them up and they were both scratched up and one of their eyes was red and puffy. I would definitely never bring any of my animals here again. When we asked what happened all they said was I don’t know. They also smelt absolutely terrible when we got them. I would read these reviews and pay attention to all the bad ones. I’m sure all the good reviews on here are fake
We brought our dogs to be kenneled while we moved. Our dog was attacked by another dog. They admitted fault. Hesitated on getting our dog care and then wouldn't pay the vet bill after they said they would. Don't bring your pets here.
Very cheap but fantastic service. Way better then petsmart or other large companies. I take my dog their every time we cant bring him when were traveling.
I had a last minute situation of trying to find doggy daycare and Although I am thankful they could squeeze him in, this daycare was horrid. Smelled immediately going in, the workers had no motivation, had no customer service etiquette, and quite frankly I was lied to. I was told that play time started at 11 so the dogs could play. Keep in mind, I dropped my dog off at 10. Then when I went to pick him up at 2:30 they had not been let out so he was just kenneled the entire time. Would not recommend this place as it is absolutely the worst doggy daycare I’ve ever experienced. I was not expecting to keep my dog kenneled up the whole time. Also, these girls claimed that it was storming, which it didn’t. They also claimed the power went out. Lie after lie I was told. If I could give -1000 stars I would.
I cannot say enough good thing!! My family was displaced due to the fires and needed a safe place for our two babies. They took such great care of them and were very affordable. Highly recommend and will be bringing the pups again for play dates or vacation boarding!! Thank you for treating my babies like family.
Do NOT take your pets here for boarding. After we brought our dog home from a week long stay, he wasn’t his happy self. He was timid and quiet and seemed traumatized. He had two open winds on his nose. He wouldn’t eat that day he came home. His dog bed smelled of urine. Other reviews say that thier dogs smelled of urine went picked up. We had paid for bathing and when we said we were coming at 9am to get him we were told he wasn’t ready til 1 pm. They bathed him quickly so he didn’t smell. We called many times during the week to check up on him and they NEVER answered the phone. I can only assume my dog was mistreated and not well cared for even though we paid extra.
Staff seemed really interested in helping us with the proper care of our dog. The facility is old and "off the beaten trail" but it was reflected in the price. We really liked the staff!
Anyone who knows me knows I can be a pain in the butt leaving my fur kids behind when I travel and they can't come. My anxiety is bad.. I recently brought in TWO PUPS... and had to find a sitter. Found Caring Canine Commands... I don't think I have enough room here to share my incredible experience with James and Jasmine... not only did they put my anxiety away, but during my boarding and training, I received constant updates, pictures, and videos. They became part of their family while we were gone. I kinda feel my pups didn't want to leave. They had Pawties cake and lots of fun. They were not locked up in a kennel, like an animal shelter.. Caring Canine Commands.. you feel the love and caring feelings immediately when you step into their property. My heart and mind are at ease going forward. They will be my go to place for my pups.. thank you James and Jasmine..see you next month
James took great care of our dogs while we were out of town! This was the first time we have ever left our dogs, and James did a wonderful job. We will definitely use Caring Canine Commands again!
Caring Canine Commands is AMAZING! We just moved to the area and needed a dog sitter. We are super picky! We have previously used family, traditional kennels, VIP boarding, super expensive boarding, etc. I always felt guilty leaving them, and never felt like they got the same type of care that I provide them. UNTIL NOW. Finding James has given me and my husband freedom to travel again! James stayed at our home, loved on my dogs, played with them, took care of them- maybe even better than I do. He sent text updates and photo's and my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our 10-year anniversary without any worry. I cannot recommend James enough. Cant wait to try out his grooming services this weekend too! Love that they offer all-in-one pet services- grooming, sitting and training! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
James and Jaz at Caring Canine Commands are great dog trainers. They are kind and very knowledgeable. They helped me get my German Shepard under control. I would highly recommend them! And they aren't super expensive like most dog trainers!
Caring canine commands taught me to train my new dog and how to get my other dog to like the new dog. I don’t know what I would have done without their help! Highly recommend!
