Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
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.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
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!
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
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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 $30 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!
Kiaora Park Pet Care has been looking after our boy Louis since his puppyhood 4 years ago back in 2021. Words can’t express how much we love their service and help. Professional, love and care, they always give us a peace of mind when we are away. They send us daily updates via message or email which is a guarantee. Waking up to the photo updates every morning has been a biggest pleasure while we travel overseas and gives us a real peace of mind. We would like to say a big THANK YOU to Lisa, Rory, Monika, Tabea, Heidi, Loren and the rest of the team who has been taking care Louis. Photos in this post are from them during Louis’ stays in 2024 and 2023. See you next time ❤️❤️❤️
I cannot recommend Kiaora highly enough. They took such amazing care of our dogs multiple times over the past 3 months and the dogs returned home very happy and content. We loved receiving mulitple photos from the team each day and which really put our minds at ease (especially in the beginning) as we could see the dogs were in their element and not fretful. Kiaora accommodated all of our requests for the dogs and we so lovely even when it came to a last minute booking. If you are looking to board your pets, you can't go wrong at Kiaora 🐕❤️
We have used Kiaora now a couple of times and are very happy with the care our two spoilt dogs get. The last time was for 2 weeks and I was very stressed with leaving them that long. But we picked them up on the weekend and although they were over excited to see us they looked happy and healthy. I got a daily updates with photo's while overseas. I would leave them with Kiaora again.
A fantastic boarding facility, with staff that really care about your animals! We had our kitten booked in for ten days recently whilst we were overseas. They asked all the right questions to get to know her initially when we booked, then followed up with plenty of photos and cuddles for our kitten whilst we were away. She was very content by the time we returned home, and comfortable around the staff - something unheard of at other facilities we’d taken her to previously. Thank you, KiaOra!
From the initial booking, I knew our cat would be in excellent hands with thorough questions being asked. The boarding itself is absolute luxury accommodation for cats - no cages to be seen, a gorgeous ‘outside’ area to explore daily and a view of outdoors from what I can only describe as a ‘hotel room’ of an enclosure. The daily updates (with photos) were so comforting. We picked up a clearly well looked after kitty. Thanks so much.
Our staffy Bella loved her time at Kia Ora in July. We picked up a happy and well looked after pooch and I’m sure she will be just as loved on and looked after during her next stay. Staff are very friendly and approachable and they tried their hardest to accomodate a potential booking for us when they were full with bookings. Also super grateful for the daily messages on her welfare - it made us stress less to know she was doing fine and we loved receiving photos of her happy self at play time. Kia Ora will be the only place we leave our dog and would highly recommend their services to anyone wanting high quality care for their furry loved ones.
We cannot recommend this place enough. After a recommendation from family who regularly board their dog here we decide to give Kiaora a go while we were away for 6 days. We were a bit wary of leaving Athena at a place we had not used before, especially with a drive from Sydney at each end and we wondered how she would cope. On arrival we were greeted by staff who were very happy to show us around and put us at ease. We were sent daily updates with photos which was great and to be honest I don't think Athena wanted to leave when we came to pick her up. She was very well cared for, had all her usual treats and toys and had daily play dates with her carers. The only downside for us is that Kiaora is not closer to Sydney! We will certainly be back with Athena. Thanks for taking care of her. Lachlan & Tara
My puppies absolutely love their time at Kiaora - they are happy, clean and non-stressed when I pick them up. They are excited too when I drop them off. Love getting the texts and photos of their ‘pet retreat’.
Wonderful amenities and friendly staff. We recently left our two young pups in the care of Kiaora Park Pet Care and couldn't be happier. When we picked up our boys they were happy and calm, you could tell they had a great vacation. We were a bit nervous about leaving them for the first time but then we recieved a pupdate photo (attached) and could tell by their smiles they were comfortable. I would highly recommend their services for anyone with pampered pups.
The most wonderful, caring cat hotel. Our anxious, timid, elderly kitty loves Kiaora. They truly understand the individual needs of each cat. We appreciate the daily updates and photos, which reassures us he doing well. Their staff are always so kind and caring. Many thanks Kiaora.
Pip has looked after my dog Pippin, a couple of times over the past year and I wouldn't trust anyone else to look after him. He is a high maintenance dog but I can trust her whole heartedly, and with regular updates means I don't have to worry! He regularly goes to her daycare too (Capital Paws) and loves it.
Pip is such a sweetheart. She obviously adores dogs and genuinely cares about all those in her care. Pip is so patient, attentive and understands dog behaviour. Archie is such a fussy eater. Pip was able to help us with ideas to encourage him to eat. He even put on weight when he stayed with her for a month. It was a huge comfort knowing Archie was in safe hands when we left him for an extended time. We were sent regular photos and updates. We are so thankful to have found Pip. Don’t look any further, Pip is your best choice.
Highly recommend! Pip is amazing & we were so at ease leaving our dog with her. We were continuosly updated with photos & snippets of how he was going, making our holiday even more relaxing. We will be using Pip whenever we need (hoping we can get in) & know our dog will be safe, well cared for and have lots of fun!
We sent Lulu to Pip's recently for 2 weeks while we went overseas. Lulu was well taken care of and Pip even tidied up her for us. Lulu looked happy and pretty when we collected her. Not only did Lulu have warm and cuddly nights at Pip's place, Lulu also enjoyed herself playing at Pip's Capital Paws Daycare on weekdays. Even after such a long time away, Lulu has no issue resetting back with us. Highly recommend Pip's Pet Sitting if you are looking for a sitter.
Pip took excellent care of my 2 dogs. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Pip is reliable, very responsive to messages and genuinely loves dogs. My dogs came back happy and tired after daycare or board at Pips. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for pet sitting, doggy daycare and boarding. Thanks again so much!
Pip took care of my 12 month old lab x Golden retriever for my first proper trip away. Terra was at doggy day care through the days and with Pip and her fur family over night. Terra had an absolute ball! Pip sent regular updates and videos of Terra which helped keep this nervous dog mums mind at ease and meant I could really enjoy my time away. It was obvious even looking at Instagram stories that Terra was having the time of her life and making new friends, she is a very expressive pup. When I went to collect Terra she was so comfortable with Pip and while excited to see me and go home -seemed a little sad to leave. Could not recommend Pip enough. Terra was settled with her, the other dogs and the environment - and had such a good time! Thank you for taking care of my girl!
Pip is the most incredibly caring, diligent and experienced animals professional I have met. Her service is impeccable and will look after your animals as though they were her own. Always responsive and attentive to every need, I can’t recommend Pip’s Pet Sitting Service enough. I will never go back to using another service after having found Pip. Not to mention her property is out of this world xx Kim & Angel
We had Pip come out to look after our goats for a couple of night, and the peace of mind was such a relief! She sent good updates and took lots of care when visiting them If you need any sort of pet looked after I highly recommend Pip 🥰
Pip’s adoration and passion for the animals she looks after is second to none! She has such great expertise and knowledge of all animals and I know that my pets are in the best hands with her. I HIGHLY recommend her to absolutely anyone and everyone looking for someone to look after their fur babies!
Amazing! Pip and Josie are so caring and brilliant with my dog. Whether it's daycare or a sleepover, I never worry about my Charlie when she's with Pip. Can't recommend this place enough, best doggy care available 😃 …
So happy with the grooming done for my two Pomeranians! They look so cute and are so soft! Professional and affordable :) Thank you Strictly Paws!
My dog has been going to daycare for years. He loves it, Rob and Alicia are excellent. Very flexible and caring.
Our baby girl Cookie loves going to see Rob and Alicia! They are easy-going, flexible and caring. We wouldn't trust anyone else to care for our little girl. I have also recently discovered that they are so far the best groomers we have had an experience with! I'd happily recommend them for any duration of care your little family member requires :)
Alicia and Rob have been taking care of our Corgi for almost a year now (daycare 3x per week + occasional boarding) and we will stay repeat customers as long as possible. They are absolute professionals and our boy always has the most amazing time with them. They cover daycare, short and long stays, and are super accomodating with requests and changes where possible. Great communication and excellent quality of service for the price. I highly recommend their services!
Great price. And they did an amazing job on my pup
Bonnie is very well looked after at Strictly Paws. She has the opportunity to socialize with other dogs whilst in their care. We receive photos and videos updating us during her stay. We can go away being at ease, knowing Bonnie is being well looked after.
Neat and tidy grooming for my dog and would definitely come back. Highly recommend.
Alicia is so kind and helpful. My pup always has the best time with her, I know she will be well looked after and loved. Alicia is very flexible with my busy schedule which I appreciate. Highly recommend 👌 …
Thanks for looking after our fur baby , Great service, Winnie 🐶 says thanks as well …
Thanks to Strictly Paws for taking such good care of our Loki over the Christmas break. We are so happy we have found a home away from home for our boy where he’s treated as part of the family. He’s always so excited to get to you guys every Tuesday for his doggy day care.
Joanne was wonderful! Chloe had such a great time! As always Don’t Fret Pet saved me during the Christmas holidays when it is so hard to find a dog sitter!! Such a fabulous service. Never disappointed. Thank you!
Process was easy. Jennifer had a natural affinity with our dog. We had no hesitation leaving her and enjoying break away.
After a few bad experiences using pet sitter apps we were delighted with the service provided by Don’t Fret Pet for our 2 energetic dogs. From start to finish we felt that we were in good hands, and our minders were wonderful with our dogs. They have both come home from their ‘holiday’ happy & relaxed and we will definitely be using Don’t Fret Pet again in future!
Margaret and Jenny were very responsive in matching our dogs Lily and Alvie to a perfect minder in Canberra. Trudy took great care of our dogs. They loved Trudy the minute they met her and were happy and ‘right at home’ when we picked them up. We highly recommend Don’t Fret Pet and Trudy.
Our gorgeous girl Izzy , a now 2 year old bordoodle , stayed with Stephen and Erica. This stay for 2 weeks is the longest she has ever been away from us Her care was amazing , they sent updates and we felt they loved her as much as we do . Highly recommend this service and these carers
The team were great, found a sitter that was perfect and kept in contact while finding the right sitter for our dog. And the carers they had were amazing. Couldn't fault any part of the process.
The interaction with both Jenny and Margaret was friendly and the Web site was very easy. I found the carers, Gerry and John, to be wonderful and very caring people. They sent lots of photos showing my dogs had settled in really well, including making themselves at home. I highly recommend DFP and Gerry and John.
What a wonderful experience for our 10 year old, 3-legged labradoodle and for us as well! Having such experienced and generous sitters meant my husband and I could get away for a long weekend without any worries whatsoever. We will certainly reach out to "Don't Fret Pet!" again soon. Very well worth it and highly recommended
Highly recommend Don’t Fret Pet. The response from Jenny was prompt. She rang me a number of times to ensure the matching was most appropriate for my 9 month boy. She called me in New Year’s Eve and emailed on New Year’s Day when she was on holiday. Emily-Jane and Jeremy were so patient with Auggie. He is going to stay with them again in two weeks’ time.
Our minder Trudy looked after Bowie and Sophie very well. They didn’t seem stressed at all by the experience and I appreciate having somewhere for them to go that is so welcoming and safe. I highly recommend Don’t Fret Pet.
I needed to find a pet sitter urgently and I contacted Emma and she responded within a couple of minutes and said she could look after my two fur babies. I felt so bad leaving my babies, for the first time, with a pet sitter so I called and Emma was more than happy to take my call and reassured me that they were having an amazing time. She even sent me a photo. When I came to collect them, they were so calm and happy. I could see that my babies had the best time with Emma and the family I highly recommend Emma and will definitely be using her services again. Benji and Bella just love you and their Mummy is so happy that I found you on Google search. Thank you so so so much for looking so well after my fur babies.
Emma looked after Jabu again … what an absolute joy to know our little four-legged boy is so well looked after! We will recommend Emma any and everyday as she is a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Emma.
Emma is really really great. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She walks my boisterous adolescent Labrador regularly. She is reliable, friendly and trustworthy. Most importantly, she is wonderful with my dog.
Emma has looked after our pooch quite a few times with dog sitting and has taken him for many walks as well. Hes always well looked after and ready for a nap after a decent walk/run. Thank you! Would absolutely recommend 1000%
'Woof dog sitting' was wonderful for my two dogs. Professional service, great set up and attention to detail. I was able to relax while away, knowing my dogs were getting lots of attention, play time and walks. Highly recommend.
