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.

Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
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.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
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.
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
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!
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 :)
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!
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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, $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!
Wonderful service. Could not ask for kinder, more qualified individuals to watch over my fur babies. 5 stars!!
Beautiful location and nice attentive people! My pup gets excited to go and play!
Emily and Heather consistently deliver stellar grooming services here on Kauai. Friendly, professional and accommodating. Our Basil always comes out so beautiful and smelling amazing!
Aloha, my name is Juan Ramirez and I like to share my experience with bringing my dog Finn to Kauai Pet Sitting and grooming, I met with Emily and she showed me the facility. The place is clean and safe. She gave me the option if I would like to have Finn with other dogs or by himself. We partnered him with her dog Biscuit and they immediately started to play. As I’m on vacation she kept me informed with videos and photos and it gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend this place. Thank you Emily and Biscuit.
Heather is very knowledgeable and friendly! She truly cares for and loves every single animal. . Also I had a million questions about my newly adopted dog not even regarding pet boarding, and she gladly answered every question and gave me wonderful advice. I highly recommend this place!
Heather and Emily are very nice!! I hope they have plans to make a prepared path from the parking area to the grooming building because my white Husky had to walk through the dirt right after his grooming. Also, I was a bit let down when Heather informed me that not very much fur came off my Husky, but when I arrived home I ran a brush through his fur to find quite a bit still coming out with ease. Alas, he did come home smelling quite nice!
Thank you Heather for taking care of our sweet Luka Boy! Always kept in contact, catered to his every need without hesitation, and sent photos everyday! He was SO loved while we were away and looked incredible after the grooming session for us to love on him when we returned! We will ALWAYS use Heather and her team! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Heather is awesome! My dog buddy is a rescue dog that is very shy and usually scared to go to strangers. Heather did an amazing job on making him feel safe! He was so happy and looked amazing after his grooming session :)
We had the pleasure of meeting Heather of Kauai Pet Sitting and Grooming in June. We were looking for a pet sitter to care for our female GSD.Duchess our German Shepherd spends 1 day week with Heather and on several occasions Duchess has spent a week at Kauai Pet Sitting. Heather’s staff is awesome!, there is a genuine love that they show our Duchess. The wonderful thing about having our GSD at Kauai Pet Sitting is the ability for the her to run around with the other dogs that are there. There is a gazebo in the play area where the dogs can relax without the need to be put in a kennel. The dogs are free to run and play all day!. A staff member is always in the playground area to play with the dogs. Another great part of having our GSD at Kauai Pet Sitting and Grooming is we can request a grooming session before we pick Duchess up. Don’t hesitate to call Heather at Kauai Pet Sitting if you want a great outdoor experience for your canine
I had my Chihuahua boarded at Kauai Pet Sitting. We went to the mainland and unexpectedly came down with Covid. Heather and her assistants were incredible. We had to extend our stay. She was very accommodating and understanding and when he started to board there she picked him up at our home and dropped him off at the end of his stay as well. I got sent several pictures a day of my Mijo and he always looked happy and part of the family. He even came back with obvious improvements in housebreaking. He was a rescue, and although he was adult, he apparently had not been potty trained. They took him on walks everyday. The facility was safe and comfortable and he had a puppy, Romeo, that he happily and vigorously played with every day he was there. Heather had great suggestions about his care and shared her observations about his behavior, which was very helpful for me. Clearly she has a lot of experience in the care of animals. I would not consider any other boarder. Heather is the best and I have boarded several dogs. I could tell that she loved my Mijo like he was her own.
Heather was very helpful and knowledgeable. My pup stayed the weekend and got a grooming, we will be back.
Quick and easy drop off. Pomeranians look great! Mahalo for your services.
Karen and the team are very professional and amazing. You can tell how much love they have for our dogs. The training program is 10/10 recommend. My dog was very unwell and now she’s a confident happy pup.
I cannot express enough the amazing job Karen did with my girl Mila!! We recently brought our 7 year old Pitbull mix to Bark Bark, seeking help, as she was developing separation anxiety every time we left the house. She was destroying our furniture or just trying to escape, which she has never done before. I had tried many things but it wasn't until I took her to Bark Bark! that we found an answer. When I called, they reassured me they could help, of course I was a little nervous because she was not a puppy anymore but figured I should give it a try. I dropped her off for her initial assessment and after that, we left her for "boot camp" training for 10 days (so hard not to see her!) but as soon as I picked her, she was a different dog. They went over everything she had learned over these past 10 days, showed me videos and answered any questions I had. I felt like I was getting a new dog but my same sweet girl! There is a lot of work to be done at home, this is a must, but now our girl is crate trained, our walks are so enjoyable (she does not pull anymore, she walks by my side and does not attempt to launch at trucks or other dogs) she eats and sleeps in her crate, and more recently, she started to put herself to bed in her crate without having me take care. I have no words to describe how happy and pleased I am with Karen and the whole team! I really thought there was no help out there for my girl, but I was wrong. And Karen is always there to answer any questions or concerns via text! I 100% recommend them and would do this all over again in a heartbeat! My husband and I are so grateful to you guys and Mila as well :)
This is Kauai's premier dog behavioral rehabilitation center. Their methods are strict because they take on some tough dogs. They give each individual pup the structure and experience they need to live a healthy, stress-free lifestyle, ESPECIALLY if it's a working breed dog with high drive. If you need your dog boarded or just want your pup socialized, they also offer supervised playtimes, structured exercise, and some grooming/personal pamper options as well. Great place, Karen is the bomb!
We had a wonderful experience working with Karen & RJ! Our 8 month old English Cream Golden Retriever, Darby, already at nearly 60 lbs, was just more puppy than we could handle! We all gained an incredible amount of knowledge during her training, but still have a long way to go. Karen was available via text and extremely helpful getting us through those first few weeks of training. We have since moved off island, but continue working with Darby as we were instructed and appreciate knowing we can still call if we need help. We look forward to that initial 90-days of "coming to a meeting of the minds" with Darby but know full well she is a smart, but stubborn kind of girl! We won't give up and know with the training we received at Bark! Bark! Backyard! we will have a sweet Golden that won't constantly pull - someday! We highly recommend this facility for doggy daycare as well! It was a huge blessing to take Darby there while we were packing and getting our house ready to sell.
I can’t thank you enough for taking care of Roxy for me. I appreciate you service and I will always bark bark when I go on vacation. Thanks again 🙏🤙🫶❤️🙌 …
They are awesome!! The service was great!!! My pup looked too cute with her flower lay. Will definitely be bringing Gracie back at least once a week!!
My two dogs Oliver and Kingsley LOVE bark bark as much as we do! Karen and her team take such great care of them and they are always so tired after their stay. I know the boys are in good hands with them. Highly recommend!
Wonderful place and wonderful training. We use daycare 2x/wk and my dog is always excited to go. Karen is a master trainer and has immensely improved our relationship with our dog. I have only great things to say about them.
Karen and her team are amazing! They did an excellent job in training and setting the ground work for our dog so we as owners can build upon by helping us understand our dog better.
Bark bark’s experienced trainers have trained me and my partner to be much better dog owners and our whole family (including our pup) is better because of it. Their obedience training has worked really well for us and they have been wonderful in addressing any questions we have during or long after the trainer program was completed. I highly recommend their services.
Great place to pamper your pet!! It was my new puppy's first time and she needed a nail trim.
Lovely shop with many natural treats and foods.
Wonderful staff!
