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.

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
. 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.
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.
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.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
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!
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!
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.
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
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 :)
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!
Kris is great! She is reliable, so friendly. She did a great job taking care of our golden retriever while we were away. We were so happy to come home and find a sweet pet report and thank you note. We will definitely be using her again!
Kris has been great! She is reliable and a great communicator. My morkie is usually anxious around people, but Kris is always able to put her at ease. Pet reports, photos, and texts are always welcomed.
Kristie is great!! She’s professional, responsive and a great caregiver for my newly adopted greyhound. Loved getting text updates and photos while I was away.
We couldn’t ask for a better place for playtime and boarding. EA is like heaven on Earth for our pup Kodak and he is always so excited to get there. The staff are truly wonderful and we’re so thankful for their love and care of our furriest family member.
The friendly staff provide such good care of my senior dachshunds! Boarding rates are very reasonable for the incredible care and attention provided.
My dog, Betty, loves going to daycare at Elizabeth Ann Kennels! The staff is so loving and they take great care of her. I love seeing the photos of her on instagram! I have peace of mind knowing that she is safe and happy while I am at work. I recommend EA Kennels to all my fellow dog owners because they are the best!
Good service. They also send you periodic updates on your pet during their stay there. My pets have been there many times and had a positive experience.
We have boarded our dog and cat here many times while traveling and have always been very happy with the quality of service. My daughter has also left her cat for an extended stay when she joined the National Guard. He did not get along with our animals so she had no choice but to board him while she was gone for three months. Of course she was really nervous about leaving her "baby" for so long however they assured her he would have time to play with staff and be well taken care of. She was very happy to find that the staff was very friendly and always answered her one million questions when calling for updates. When she returned she found him to be healthy and happy. I highly recommend this kennel for anyone who really cares about their animals.
Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our baby while we were away! This was the first time we had our dog boarded and we were nervous to leave her in the care of others. Our friends use this kennel to care for their dog and recommended we board our dog here while we were away on vacation. The girls at the front desk were so nice, they made us feel confident that our dog would be taken very good care of. They went as far as to email my husband an update on how she was doing and sent pictures of her playing outside with another dog, she looked very happy! Again, thank you so much! We will be using your kennel in the future.
Boarded my dog for an extended stay and the staff was very caring and patient with all my phone calls checking up on my baby!!! They also sent me photos during play time. Indy was happy and healthy when I picked him up. So grateful to have found this place.
Great place. They are great with our Husky
We are thrilled with the service we get from the entire team at Elizabeth Ann Kennels. They are always willing to accommodate us and we’ve never had a problem getting our dog in or having specific issues resolved. We highly recommend EA Kennels.
Have boarded our dog a few times now and they've always taken really good care of him. They have a mandatory bath at the end of boarding which is nice, because he doesn't come home smelling like a kennel.
This place is brilliant. I have been coming here for 11 years with my pup, even though I don't live in NJ anymore. He's so happy here and loves to stay so much that he doesn't even look back at me when he goes off to play. I never worry about him while I'm away as I suspect he has a better time on vacay at preferred pet care than I do on my vacay. 😀♥️
Took our dog here years ago and hope this place has improved. The problem is they have so many animals. At 7p they closed for the night and your dog will be locked in a small concrete pen until they open again in the morning. That didn’t sit well with us. Our dog came home stressed, hoarse and aggressive. Think carefully before you board your dog in a facility.
Sam has so much fun at day care! He even gets excited when he sees the PPC 'party van' (i.e. the transport van) driving around the neighborhood while we are out on walks. The drivers always honk for him!
My dog loves coming here! The staff is so friendly and accommodating for us as well! I highly recommend it!
The Preferred Pet Care team is amazing! My pup Moose ❤️❤️❤️ loves going to daycare. He bounds in the morning and is the busy pup playing all day. Highly recommend the PPC team. The proof is in the picture
The staff was amazing and very helpful! They definitely helped ease my mind of any worries for my dog's first stay with them. They were also able to answer my questions and even relay personal anecdotes of my dog.
Preferred Pet Care team is awesome! My dogs are not the easiest to take care of (one gets injured easily due to a slipped disc and has ibs) and I boarded them there for 5 days (right after an injury from another daycare not keeping a close eye on him). They kept in constant contact with me as well as my dogs came back in perfect health. 10/10 would recommend. Only wished I lived closer so they could be going to daycare there as well.
Preferred Pet is really the perfect place for day care and boarding for your dog. The staff is very friendly and my little man loves going there to play. While on a week long trip, he stayed and was obviously very comfortable and happy while staying there. He's always so eager to return.
We are so lucky to have found Preferred Pet Care for our dog. Our dog is always excited to go there. She pulls towards the door when we arrive in the parking lot. She has been to many day cares in the past. Preferred Pet Care is very responsive, truly care for the dogs, and accommodates the needs of the pets and the owners. I've been recommending Preferred Pet Care to my neighbors. I highly recommend Preferred Pet Care, and our dog will surely continue to go to Preferred Pet Care!
My puppy is beyond happy to go to play at Preferred Pet Care. She jumps for joy when we arrive. I can understand why. All the employees are sooooo nice. You can tell they LOVE the dogs & enjoy working there. Whether my 11 month old dog goes for a half or a full day, when she comes home, she eats, drinks water and falls asleep because she’s exhausted!!! Love. Love. Love this place.
