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.

Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
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!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
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!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
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.
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 .
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, $20/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 can't say enough great things about Doe Creek Kennels! Allison and her team are such kind and wise dog lovers and caregivers!! Our dog, Lucie, LOVES her time there. As soon as we pull into Doe Creek Farms she starts singing and dancing …
We've been taking our dogs to Doe Creek for years. Best kennel you could ask for! They are professionals and pay attention to your dog's wants and needs. Kennel is very clean, dogs have their own rooms and lots of space to run and play. Our dogs love going there and we have peace of mind knowing they will have the best care! Thank you Allison and crew for providing a wonderful, safe place for our puppies! 🥰 And stop by The Bad Apple for some incredible food too!!!
I have taken my grand dog(for my daughter) for several years to Allison at Doe Creek Kennels. Kirah, (Siberian Husky) love it there!! It is so organized and the dogs are watched and played with so you can leave them and feel totally …
Our dog has been going to Doe Creek Kennels for many years, ever since they first opened their wonderful facility. The staff there has always treated him just like a member of their own family. Our dog Junior is always happy and excited …
I used this place for my three precious pugs several years ago. (like 2012 - 2016 ish) Sorry it took me so long to leave a review. They were fantastic! We used them several times. The pugs LOVED it here. My senior citizen Shelby was special needs and blind, and she did well, too! I remember being concerned she'd fall into their pool, but the staff were super attentive and kind. I received some pictures via text of their stay. The pugs were super well cared for. I left them here numerous times for several days at a time. It is truly a very exquisite and special place on earth. I live in a massive metroplex now and NOTHING like this exists where I'm currently at. What you guys have is very beautiful and unique! I miss you guys!!
Hawk has always felt welcome and comfortable at Doe Creek. When we pick him up he's happy and we get great feedback about how he behaved and who he played with the most. The folks there give him goodies that we supply and they feed him like we do at home. He well cared for and we keep going back. Love the folks there!
We left our furbaby a few days ago.for 3 days it was great experience for him and us. Allison was so nice when I text her the first night.we don't go away much but will most definitely use them again if we need too. Thank You so much.
They're great at taking care of my Zelda!
Outstanding kennel. My dogs are tired and happy when I return.
Buddy had a great time. Awesome place and people who work there!!
Absolutely wonderful!! Cayla worked with our dog Shiva and after the two week board and train our dog came back happy and very well behaved. She also took about 2-3 hours when she brought her back to make sure that we understood every …
If you're looking for exceptional dog training services, look no further than James at Mission Impawsible Dog Training! James is truly a miracle worker when it comes to understanding and training dogs. From the moment we started working …
An amazing experience. James really took his time with my Aussie and made sure she was prepared for home life. He provided me with so much insight on how to be a high energy dog owner and helped lay a foundation for my dog, Ruby, and I to grow a stronger bond. I recommend Mission Impawsible to everyone looking into dog training.
James and his staff are the real deal, the best of the best! It’s amazing what they have done with our intelligent, high energy, reactive border collie pup, Magnolia “Maggie”! She went from being a handful, an absolutely unmanageable pup to an obedient, loving pup who is now leash trained without becoming reactive when encountering other dogs and adult humans. They taught her how to respond to recall commands, whereas she would often jump our fence to chase deer (and other animals) and not return despite our commands. This was one of our biggest issues with her and James and his staff applied training methods successful in getting this corrected. One added bonus…they teach the dogs who board and train how to create paintings! How remarkable! In this review I included photos of Maggie with her masterpiece completed this past July during one of Mission Impawsible’s board and train doggie camp. James follows up with us frequently to check in on Maggie to see how her training progress is going at home and not because he has to, but because he wants to. He truly cares about the dogs he works with (and frankly, all dogs). I’d give Mission Impawsible a 10+ star review if it were “pawsible” 😊 to do so! To say we are pleased is an understatement! I highly recommend their Board & Train program for training extremely high energy, intelligent working dog breeds.
James is so caring and attentive with dogs and their owners! He is very knowledgeable and answers any questions you may have. He's made a huge difference in mine and my pups' lives!
Superior training. Outstanding staff. They are professional and they take their job seriously. My dog was given great care, a safe environment that allowed my dog to feel calm and secure, fun activities, confidence building field trips and most of all a tremendous amount of love. They give you the tools you need to keep your dog on the right track and also follow up to make sure all is well. Wonderful experience. Probably the best program in our region.
James was incredible with my 1 year old puppy Scrappy Doo! He is patient and works individually depending on the dogs needs and personality. Even after finding out Scrappy had some health problems in the middle of his training James still worked and did what was best for him!
I can not say enough about James or his training. I have a pack from all different scenarios (rescues and breeder). My most recent was a challenge behavior wise and he worked his magic on my previous rescue. She has manners. She listens. She knows her commands. She is a changed dog but still a dog with a personality. I love that he teaches the dog, allows them to still be a dog with a personality, then teaches the owner. It truly goes full circle and shows. He cares about his clients, both dog and human. I’m forever grateful for the love and training he put into my precious Onyx.
If you need a trainer who is patient, dedicated, compassionate and loves what they do. James is your guy. :)
James is amazing. Super caring. Done very well with training our sweet boy. Very pleased with the outcome.
James has been training my girl to be a therapy dog for the last 4 months. He is highly motivated, positive, and encouraging with her and me. He enjoys what he does and it shows every time he trains. He is easy to work with and my dog loves him. He makes training fun for her. Training is very reasonably priced. I highly recommend him!
