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.

Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
. 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.
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!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future 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!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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 :)
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me 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 $ per visit, $25/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!
We had our 2 medium size dogs stay here for 7 nights because our regular border were full. Upon dropping our boys off and their pick up, it was a breeze. The staff was super friendly. However I was little troubled on the amount of food returned. Our boys don't eat much and I had an extra 7 days of food in their food container for emergencies if anything happened like flight delays etc. When we picked them up it was literally empty. Which means they staff fed other dogs our dogs food. The day we dropped them off they were done with dinner with little left in their feeding bowl, so it would have come out to 6 feeding days instead. Our regular boarder always returns with alot of emergency food left, unfortunately I've lost trust here rather they thought it was okay, it is not, that is stealing.
Friendly staff and nice facilities. Unfortunately my dog was injured during her first night there. Nothing was mentioned about this until I discovered her injury upon pickup on day 4. We attempted to go next door to their vet center immediately and they wouldn't provide urgent care. Not sure yet if I'll be returning as this should've been handled differently.
My husband and I have a very independent 13 year old heeler that hates baths and hates having her feet touched. She never really needed her nails trimmed due to being active; however, with age, they were getting long impacting her mobility. We bought clippers thinking we would try cutting them ourselves but were worried about hurting her and worried about her tolerating us trying. We decided to schedule an appointment with Makawao Veterinary Clinic, Boarding, Grooming, & Health Center to have them trimmed. We warned them about her hating having her feet touched and would understand if they were unsuccessful. The day we took her in, we were very anxious. Surprisingly, she was very calm and walked into the grooming room with the technicians like they were her best friends. We watched through the glass door in shock at how well she was behaving. One technician was petting her forehead while the other was trimming her nails. She was a perfect 'client'! They really are the dog whisperers. We may even consider taking her back for a bath. Our experience was surprisingly wonderful!
Andy is Awesome...She is so beyond patient with our girls, talks to them, spends as much time as they need to be calm..Especially Bea who gives Andy a run for her money. Very impressed! Highly Recommended!!!
Unfortunately I didn't think to take any pictures while I was there, BUT I can paint a decent picture with words right? I hope so 😩. So, we actually went to the grooming center which is across from the clinic. There is a nice fenced in area with a locking gate that overlooks a beautiful property full of blind horses. I am sure they were blind for a good reason though, don't worry 🤣. Just beautiful! Although this was our first time at the grooming center they treated us like they knew us personally. The groomer (I apologize for not remembering your name) was very friendly and my dog loved her. She was patient with all of our questions and even got my doubtful dog to come with her and clean her ears! 😲 She must have magic hands because my dog acts like her ears are the treasure at the end of the rainbow. I don't know how she did it 🤔. The front desk staff was very nice and professional as well. We really appreciate professionalism because it can be so hard to find these days. 😖 My dog is medium sized and she came out feeling so soft and luxurious. I highly recommend them if you want a great service and people looking after your fur baby that care as much as you do. 🙌 I had a short encounter with the front desk at the vet clinic as well. All staff were super helpful, informative and friendly.I don't see how you could go wrong here. 💖
Customer service at the kennel has been lacking since the new management. The first time we took him there, he got sick and the vet charged me $900 to tell me he had an upset stomach, then last time we took our dog there it seemed he was mistreated. Not recommended!
My dog wouldn’t let anyone cut her nails. Until we found Andy at makawao grooming. She was so patient and so comforting to my dog. And she did her nails perfect. Each time we go she heals my dogs anxiety a little more about getting her nails cut. I am so grateful to these girls!!
Great with our dogs. Never have a problem taking them there for a little TLC. Professional and treats our dogs like their own
Wonderful groomers & owner! Andi, Daja, Danielle, Mika. All wonderful with my little terrier
Friendly staff. I trust them with my dogs twice a year when we go on short trips.
Wayne and Sue love dogs/animals! Our dog has gone to them since he was a puppy and enjoys being there. He can't wait to get out of the car when we get there. It's clean and our dog, although large, sleeps in the house and they accommodate him to be in side at night. They are very thorough of being sure ticks, fleas and other diseases aren't on the animals. Your dog needs to go for an interview and temperment session before they'll think about allowing them to board. We are so glad we have our dog there!!
Love the owners! They love all the dogs! They treat them all like family!
They both take really good care of our baby Delilah!
Land of OZ - Maui is awesome, fun and a place where all the dogs are well taken care of.
Good dog obedience training
