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.

Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
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.
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!
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!
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
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, $10/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!
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Holly was on time, trustworthy and dependable. I would highly recommend her.
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!
