Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
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!
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
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!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
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.
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!
My puppy has separation anxiety, so I started looking around for doggy daycare options while I’m at work. I found Raven’s service online and saw the good reviews/how close it was in proximity to my home. They have been extremely communicative and professional throughout the entire process. I get a “report card” at the end of my pup’s stay - complete with beautiful photos that make me feel like I was still a little part of his day. Not only does he get to socialize with other pets, he gets to expend all his puppy energy - which means he’s tuckered out and ready for sleep at the end of the day. Naturally I was worried to leave my puppy with other people, especially during a pandemic, but Raven’s K9to5 has alleviated that anxiety completely. They truly seem to care about my pup. Raven and her husband have exceeded my expectations and I am very satisfied with the care my puppy is receiving/has received thus far!
I am so glad I found Raven and her husband! I have never felt so confident about someone else taking care of my doggo. Bella Rose has so much fun when she goes to stay with Raven. When we go on vacation she goes to doggy camp! She always has friends to play with and they do play! She is always so worn out when she comes home. And I love the pictures that I get every day. And the report card usually cracks me up. I was really late picking up Bella and they just rolled with it. Traveling is unpredictable sometimes. Thank you Raven for all the times you’ve watched Belle! We only use Raven now!
So thankful for Raven! She was able to help me on short notice and was super sweet and helpful! She was very patient with my shy and grumpy rabbit, and dropped by my hotel twice a day to make sure she had everything she needed. I was extremely anxious about leaving my rabbit alone, but Raven sent me pictures of her when she could, and I felt so much more comfortable about leaving. Very thankful to have found her and will absolutely be using her again when I go out of town!
I went to Florida for 5 days and used Ravens K9 to 5 to board my yorkie. This was the first time I have ever had to board my baby and I was so weiry about leaving him with just anybody. We are new to the area and really dont know anyone yet. I looked into the "pet suite" facilities that offer boarding and they keep the dogs in a kennel and all the dogs are left over night by themselves. When I found Ravens K9 and seen that the dogs were house board, I felt my dog would be alot happier there. After dropping him off I was so sad and couldn't even enjoy my vacation due to being worried about him. Raven made sure to ease my mind and send me pics and videos showing me that my baby was happy and enjoying himself. This made it much easier being away from him. I will use Ravens K9 to 5 every time I need a babysitter. He is now home safe and sound and I couldn't be happier!! Thanks Raven
After multiple pet sitters backed out we contacted Raven in the middle of a busy holiday planning season. Thankfully she was able to fit in our crew of 4 dogs and 1 cat. She stayed the nights at our house and did multiple daily check ins with them. Her communication was fantastic and we loved getting daily photos. Our house was left clean so you could tell she treated it as her own. The animals all enjoyed her company despite having a few naughty moments! We hope to use her again for any future vacations.
I had a wonderful experience with Raven caring for our pets while we were away. This was my 1st time ever hiring a company for pet services. Raven did a wonderful job of answering all of my questions before she even began services, and kept us updated every step of the way...including pictures of my babies being cared for so superbly!! I HIGHLY recommend this company for anyone in need of a responsible and informative caregiver for your pets. I could not have asked for anything better, and will definitely use her services if the need ever came about in the future!
This was our first time using Raven's services for home visits for our 7+ year old cat Lola. Everything about our experience was wonderful. Raven and her husband were both friendly and knowledgable during their introductory meeting in our home. Lola warmed up to Raven very quickly. We were concerned in that we adopted Lola through Wisconsin Purebred Cat Rescue last Summer and she had never been without us overnight before. Her previous owners left her for sometimes weeks at a time. Raven let us know about her arrival and gave us thorough updates after each visit (including wonderful pictures). We highly recommend Raven's K9 to 5 Pet Services and will certainly use her services again when we are going to be away on overnight trips. Lola seemed to bond with Raven very quickly. Thanks Raven!
We used Raven's while out of town on vacation and found it to be a great place for our pup. Our dog, a Great Dane named Willow, had a blast there and literally played until she could play no more! The daily reports were very helpful and the daily photos that were included in the reports were an added bonus. Communication was quick and easy, and not to mention, Willow had a blast. Definitely will use Raven's again when the time comes!
We have used Raven's K9 to 5 Pet Services for the past 3 years each time we've gone away. Raven does her best to accommodate our travel schedules, and, more importantly, has treated our dogs like family -with care and attention. As our dogs have gotten older, their needs have changed. Raven is always attentive to what is required for their comfort and contentment. 😊
Raven provided excellent care for our two senior cats in our home for a few days. On each visit, we received notification when she was arriving, followed up with lots of photos of the cats and a report card of how they were doing. Her care of litter boxes, feedings, and other details was meticulous. Communication is awesome and she responds to questions immediately. I highly recommend her for excellent care of your pets!
Our pups LOVE Krystal! She is so good to them. We are sometimes gone two full weeks and we have no concerns about our puppies! She loves on them and she takes such good care of them! I would recommend her and her Peanut’s Pet Sitting to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet!
Our dog Beau loved his day at Peanuts. He came home happy and tired. Krystal is amazing and has a true gift with animals. We'll be back!
I have known Krystal for 15 years and she treats dogs with the love she has for her own. When a client's beloved pet passes she grieves right alongside the owner as if it were her own. She is undeniably gifted with dogs. Her knowledge at times exceeds that of a veterinarian. I have seen her go far above and beyond what any normal pet sitter would do. I wholly and completely trust her with my pets. She loves my Molly so much. I highly highly highly recommend her.
Amazing service, Krystal took care of my persnickety bulldogs with special needs at the last minute on a holiday for me. Highly recommend!
Krystal has been absolutely great with our two dogs. From check-ins during the day to overnight boarding, she has gone above and beyond to make sure my dogs are cared for. I could not recommend her highly enough. Most importantly, the dogs are always happy to see her! Don’t hesitate reaching out to Krystal for all your dog sitting needs.
Krystal is the only one I trust with the key to my house to come take care of my cats, water my plants while I’m on vacation. We have continually used her because of her knowledge of animals and her caring. Look no Further than peanuts for all your pet needs.
Krystal took great care of my deaf baby. She was willing to watch her at the last minute and alleviated my worries! You can tell she loves animals! I would recommend her any time you need a caregiver.
Krystal does an outstanding job with my special needs guy, Walter. He’s going blind from a disease brought on by a chromosome irregularity and doesn’t do well when left alone for extended periods of time. That’s when he goes to Krystal for the day and is always so happy to hear her! This is Krystal’s passion in life and it shows in her care and love for all dogs. This city is lucky to have her!
Krystal has been taking care of my high maintenance dog since she was a puppy (she turns 7 this year). She has nursed her through illness, injuries, and Even though this fur momma can get very anxious, she always puts my mind at ease and takes excellent care of her. She is her second momma and Neko loves her so very much. I wouldn’t trust her with anyone else.
Krystal is so sweet and knowledgeable. I was walking my dog one day and she drove by. She backed up and asked why my dog was limping. I hadn’t noticed it. She found a small pebble in between her foot pads. I now check that frequently. She has also helped me with dog training. Now when we go for walks my dog goes up the driveway looking for her. She’s the best!!
We LOVE the dog spot, our dog Louie has stayed many times, they take such great care of him, they provide plenty of play time and exercise, as well as human interaction. The owner and staff are all so caring, polite and professional and we are glad to have found them! P.s. The rates are very reasonable, and they have so much to offer! 😊 …
Gretel really enjoys The Dog Spot! I love that she can run in a huge yard and play with other dogs her own size! We’ve been coming here for years, Gretel is our second German Shepherd we’ve boarded here. I really appreciate Carol and her team! Our pup is always happy and never stressed when we pick her up. This is the only place I would trust with our pup.
First time visiting here, our Dane stayed for 10 days! Always nerve racking trusting a new place but she came home happy and somewhat calm thankfully. She’s usually very anxious and hoarse when she comes home from other kennels. Right price, right location for us and they post videos of the pups daily on Facebook. we will definitely be using the dog spot again!
I highly recommend the dog spot to anyone looking for a place to board their dogs. Not once have I ever had an issue with my dog staying here because Carol and her staff take excellent care of every dog that stays with them. My baby Jack absolutely loves coming here and getting to run around in the yard with the other dogs. He genuinely looks forward to visiting and getting to see his best friend Livy!
The dog spot was great to my fur baby! She stayed for 3 days and when I picked her up she gave the worker lots of love. It was reassuring to know she was in good hands and enjoyed the company of the workers! Kayleigh checked her in and checked us out as well. She was fantastic reassuring me she would be treated with the utmost care! The dog spot exceeded my expectations. Kayleigh really made me feel comfortable leaving my fur baby as she does have anxiety so I worry.
We've had our baby Jax at the Dog Spot while on vacation several times and he had a great experience. The staff is very nice and our dog seemed to respond well with them when we picked him up. We've never had any issues and he seems to enjoy his time with the other dogs and the staff.
I have taken my dogs here multiple times and have had no problems. They are very nice and treat my babies very well. When I picked them up they seemed to like the staff and have no problems with other dogs. I would recommend them to others!
Very pleased and highly recommend the dog spot for your fur baby!! I was always extremely nervous when going out of town and having to board but Carol and Kayleigh always take great care of my pup and give me peace of mind while I’m out of town!
The Dog Spot is the only place I trust to leave my fur babies , Kayleigh checked me in for our reservation over summer break. Her and Carol along with the whole staff did an amazing job at explaining everything . My dogs had the best time !
First time boarding our English Mastiff and was very worried but The Dog Spot took great care of Titan! We called on the afternoon of the first day and they checked with the caregivers and called us right back to assure us! They posted pics and videos on Facebook so we could see how well he was doing! He was happy & healthy when we picked him up. We would definitely take him again! Thanks!
