Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
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.
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. ⭐
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them 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 .
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!
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 20$ per visit, $19/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 boarded our dog here and he did great! They are very reasonably priced and took great notes about our dog during drop off. Pick up and drop off were easy and they were so friendly! We will definitely use them again soon.
Great staff, did an awesome job on our pup!!!
My dog is generally shy and doesn't love being away from me. However, she did great with the staff, and the care they gave her was definitely more than just boarding. Highly recommended
We love Marjon Kennels and always feel calm leaving home when our dog is there. The owners have been boarding and training dogs for years and they know their business like no others we have used. We listen to all their advice and suggestions.
We have used other kennels in the past and our dog has come back sick and always smelly. That has never been an issue for us at Marjon. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and truly loves dogs. We've boarded our dog here a few times in the last two years and have always been happy.
Dearly love these precious people. They make sure all dogs have updated vaccines & genuinely care about them. This is a great business!!!! It's very hard to find good boarders for our Aussie. ❤
I love Marjon Kennel! Took my puppy to level one training, and I always buy her and my cat’s food here. Best prices that I have found, and Vicki is always ready to answer your questions.
The staff and owner are great. We've been boarding our dogs here for years and we have never had any issues. Thanks for taking care of our babies!
They treat your pet as if they were their own. Very friendly. Does a wonderful job on your pet. I'll always use them.
This is the place for your pet to lodge in luxury! They are seasoned veterans. Fully dependable, caring, and extremely competent.
We’ve been using this kennel for about 1 1/2 years and our dogs seem to love it. The staff communicates well and are responsive to our dog’s needs. We’re going to try doggy daycare next for our young doodle. When we have to go out of town, it’s comforting to know that our dogs will be taken care of well!
I really don't want to write this review because I want to keep the best kept secret of dog boarding in Cincy to myself. Alas, A Dogs Life is too good of a facility and people and cost to not let other people know. I've been taking my two large dogs here for over a year, and they are always happy when they get there and happy when they leave. The staff pays attention to detail, especially when we started boarding our nervous second dog, they watched over him the whole time. In addition the staff is responsive, flexible on availability and have SUNDAY pick up! It's not a fancy dog spa facility, but my dogs do not need a TV, or a spa. They need an attentive staff who care for the animals every day and that is what Dawn and her team do. I highly recommend!
A Dog’s Life is incredible! Dawn, the owner loved what she does and you can tell her staff feel the same. They are so kind and they are wonderful with all the dogs. With a pup that has a lot of energy, A Dog’s Life has been an a absolute blessing. It’s a great feeling to drop her off and know she’s going to have a dog’s best day!
I should have known better than to pick the cheapest daycare in the area but all the good reviews had me hopeful. When I started taking Buddy earlier this year we had no issues. He’s a high energy boy but very dog/people friendly and has completed obedience class. One day a worker told me he was “a big problem” and “always causing fights to break out”. They assured me however that he was not aggressive, just “too playful.” This was the first I heard of any problem and it sounded like it was withheld from me for a while. The next time I picked him up a different worker told me he just has a problem with one dog that he’s “infatuated with”. I was getting 2 different stories. They suggested a trainer and socializing him at dog parks more. This didn’t sound like my dog, but I believed them and agreed to their suggestions. I continued to see no bad behavior when I took him to dog parks and the trainer I used also saw no problems and hinted that the workers just don’t know how to handle him and redirect him. A few weeks later I decided to bring him back. Within 1 hour of drop off I got a call I needed to pick him up now. They said “he’s playing too much” and the dogs he’s playing with are “not playful and are picky” I asked why he’s being punished for playing too much (is that not one of the main purposes of daycare?) and why it’s his fault these dogs aren’t playful. I wasn’t given a real answer but went to pick him up. When I got there I was not determined to argue, as I can’t prove to them what I know to be true, that’s he’s a good dog who would do well at any other daycare in town. I just asked if I would be refunded for the day as he was there for less than an hour. The owner Dawn said no because they “worked too hard in that hour” I then asked if they could just charge for a half day (per their policy this is a stay less than 5 hrs). They still said no. I was shocked. At this point they were just being spiteful. A few days later I did get a full refund so I don’t know why they acted so rude and unreasonable. I truly believe these workers are lazy and incapable of handling a high energy dog. I think Dawn is taking the side of the other dogs who’ve been there longer over my dog although he did nothing wrong. They apparently don’t have a way to separate high energy and low energy dogs and should be more upfront about their limitations at the beginning. They also don’t have cameras so who knows what is really going on there. I’m so glad my boy will never again have to step foot in a place where he is not loved or accepted. I would not recommend bringing your dog here.
My doodle and I love A Dog's Life. They were so accommodating when we moved to Cincy 3 months ago. I can tell they watch and take care of my baby and make sure he is happy when he stays with them. I get a report anytime I ask with details of what he has done and who he has played with - which I love!!! Our move was difficult for my pup and they made sure his transition was as smooth as possible. He now gets super excited anytime I tell him we are going. It's super clean and friendly and all the employees are friendly and inviting. We are so glad we found "A Dogs Life"!!!!
We love taking our baby here! It is very obvious the whole team loves and cares for our pup like she is one of their own! As soon as I walk in, Stella runs to whomever is working with such excitement!
There is no other place we would take our dogs! They love daycare and the employees really care about the experience every dog has. It is not the most beautiful of entries, but don’t let that fool you. Our girls have tried, nearly, every boarding and daycare facility on the east side. A Dog’s Life is the only place they forget about me and run in to.
I left my dog for boarding for the first time ever this week. This place was a great choice. Booking her was easy, and the girl was super sweet and genuine. It shows that they love dogs. And I could tell my girl had a good time when I picked her up! If I am ever back in an office, I will consider day care for sure and I wouldn't hesitate to board here again.
This is the best daycare! Dawn and her staff love the dogs and treat them like family. It is such a comfort knowing my dog is in good hands here. I also use them for boarding and haven't had a moment's worry leaving my dog overnight here.
Dawn and her staff are fantastic. We have run the gamut on dog daycares over the past decade and couldn't be happier with A Dogs Life. Our Bobo went to daycare there every Monday until his recent passing. We couldn't even mention the word "daycare" without him crying at the door, wanting to go be with his friends. We recommend them for both daycare and boarding. They took great care of our older girl who only did boarding there. We are so thankful for all of them and their sincere care for all the dogs!
I first knew Lynn as a client. She was the kind of daycare client you dream about- she was so dedicated to her dog that it made you want to go above and beyond when caring for him. That is the kind of dedication she brings for every dog in her care, and I know that is the standard she sets for her staff. As a dog daycare professional for over a decade, I know that behind the scenes, TailWaggers staff is thinking about your dog even outside of work. They are working long hours that are both physically and emotionally demanding. They are using their creativity to come up with fun and safe activities to keep your dog engaged. Money spent on your dog at TailWaggers is money well spent!
I absolutely LOVE this place for my pups! Bruno (Irish setter) Absolutely LOVED playing with his new friends! The staff are always so kind and caring and absolutely love the dogs! My Bruno has a whole bunch of Energy and loves to run around and get some of that out! I 100% recommend this place for daycare and boarding!
I took the free tour of the facility at Tailwaggers Doggy Daycare and I was very impressed. I can not imagine a dog not being happy during their stay here. Everybody here seems to genuinely care about all the dogs whether they are here for the day or boarded for longer. This care is obvious by how clean the entire place is! I don’t know how they can keep it so clean. They have separate play areas, inside and outside, for the small dogs and the big dogs. Plenty of room for them to romp and play! The retail store in front was well stocked and organized. From what I saw and was told, the prices are very competitive. They offer specials too, so be sure to ask about that!
Tailwaggers is the best and Ally is an amazing groomer. i cant take my dog anywhere else!
Best in the area. I trust the staff to take great care of my boy when he is at daycare. There are cameras in the large and small dog area that allow you watch your dog while you are away. My boy won a full day of fun because he won the 2021 Halloween costume contest!!
I have been taking my little Jake to Tailwaggers for the past 9 months. He loves it. Today I was called because Jake was acting erratically. I was out of town going to a very important medical appointment. Lynn, the owner, took my little guy to her vet and remained there while blood was drawn and other tests administered. When Jake stabilized, she paid the vet bill and took him back to Tailwaggers. She kept me informed every step of the way. I picked Jake up later in the day and he seemed almost normal. Never in my life I have encountered someone who was so dedicated to the dogs who go to Tailwaggers. This is a very special place. Don't hesitate taking your dog to them. They are the very, very best.
Tailwaggers is amazing. We were of course nervous at first, but after his fist day it was obvious he had the time of his life. It continues to be one of his favorite places even after 2 years of taking him here. Everyone is extremely kind, gentle, and patient. We also boarded him here and that was wonderful as well. I’m also so glad they have live webcams you can see them when you’re away! Highly recommend taking your dog(s) here. I’m sure we’ll be back soon.
Our dog Brooke got a bath, nails trimmed, ears cleaned and teeth brushed and we had a great experience!! She was a happy girl when we picked her up and she still smells amazing 2 days later! Nails and teeth look great. We will be bringing her back for her next good scrub! Thank you!
Tailwaggers is a fabulous “home away from home “ for our two fur babies! We are content that our babies are well cared for when we are away.
I absolutely love Tailwaggers in Eastgate! They treat my husky Thor like he is a part of their family. Always excited to greet him and he is exhausted when he comes home! It’s non stop play which is huge for a husky in general. Plenty of physical and mental stimulation during his stays at daycare. I have checked out competitors near by and honestly they do not compare what-so-ever. Some of them were actually depressing and felt like doggie prisons. I couldn’t run out of those locations fast enough. If you are looking for a daycare that loves your fur baby as their own, gives them the attention they deserve and want them to be worn out at the end of the day - highly highly recommend Tailwaggers!
The best boarding and doggie daycare in Greater Cincinnati, hands down! The service and care is high quality, and I love being able to see Gracie via their online cameras while I'm away. Gives me additional confidence. Highly recommend Go Fetch!
After going to other doggy daycare and boarding facilities, we are so happy to have found Go Fetch!!!! We have zero worries when dropping off our dog for a short or extended stay. Truly the Best!!
Love, love, love Go Fetch! We brought our greyhound who suffered from separation anxiety here for daycare for the past two years. They consistently provided great care and affection for our dog. She loved coming here each day and was always exhausted by the time we picked her up. I would recommend Go Fetch to any dog owner who’s wanting great daycare or boarding services for their pup.
Our Golden, Luke, has been going to Go Fetch for years and he cannot wait to get there... almost every day through the week. Matt and the staff are awesome and they treat our pups with loving care. Luke runs around chasing tennis balls a good part of the day and sleeps and eat better after all the exercise. Go Fetch is a clean and safe environment and I highly recommend their services.
Been taking my dogs to Go Fetch for a few months now and boarding occasionally. My dogs LOVE being at GO Fetch. The staff and owner are knowledgeable and remember my dogs by name. Reasonable pricing and go the extra mile to help me feel comfortable with my dogs care. Highly recommend!
Our high energy dog always comes home so tired after doggie day care! She definitely has some fun playing with her friends in camp.
My Dog Chopper loves Go Fetch. He's been going for about 8 months 2-3 times a week and on several occasions for boarding. He gets excited the minute we get there. All of the staff are great and you can tell they really care about the dogs. The best part is he comes home all tuckered out so he's getting his exercise and he's staying out of trouble.
We have boarded our dogs for a couple years with Go Fetch. They take care of our dogs as if they were their own dogs. We love Go Fetch!
Go Fetch Dog Day Care and Boarding is the BEST! We have tried other boarding facilities in the past but once we tried Go Fetch we will never go anywhere else. Our three fur babies jump out of the car and run straight to the door so they can go play all day. The facility is always spotless, the staff is so helpful and know every dog by name. When our fur babies get home - they go to sleep immediately - they are worn out! Tucker, Buckeye and Remmy personally recommend Go Fetch Services!
The best. Our pups literally come to us in the morning and give us “that look” to let us know they want to go play. They are happy and best of all worn out when they get home so we are happy.
