Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
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!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
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.
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, $18/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!
Missy Doggo spent a whole week at LoveBug Farm while we vacationed on the mainland. Rachel and Adam were incredibly kind and very communicative, sharing many pics and updates with me daily. When Missy wasn't too busy playing with other dogs or snoozing in the the shade, she was being snuggled by her newest human friends ❤ We couldn't be happier with the service and it's a relief to have another family kicking it with my dog versus being locked away in a kennel. LoveBug Farm all the way!!
My wife and I both work, LoveBug farm has become a second home for our pups. They actually fight to get out of the car to get to Rachel. The space and care are second to none. Reasonably priced, responsive we even get of few pics from there day. Absolutely the best experience. After a day at LoveBug they’re both ready for calm restful night.
LoveBug Farm did a great job helping care for my 3 dogs while we were on vacation. Rachel did a great job of communicating with us every day, even Sending us pics of our pups! LoveBug Farm dog care rates were affordable and her invoicing was simple to do via email. She made the whole process easy, so we could enjoy our time away without worrying about our dogs. Mahalo!!
LoveBug Farm is an exceptional place for your companion to be boarded. I've taken my Paka, a Chatahula/Pibull mix, on multiple occasions to LoveBug Farm. Rachel, the owner, made Paka feel welcomed and most importantly safe! My Paka loves going to LoveBug Farm! When he comes home, he feels at ease and ready to take the best sleep of his life. lol I only trust Rachel, at LoveBug Farm, to board Paka on the Big Island.
I was really nervous about ever being able to go on a trip and leaving my dog. But we heard about the Love Bug Farm. Rachel was amazing! We got to come check out their place before hand and have my dog meet her family and I got to ask all my questions. I felt so secure my whole trip getting pictures and check ins sent regularly. It felt more like a family friend was watching, hanging out and loving on our dog. We will definitely be using the Love Bug Farm Dog Oasis again!
Nothing short of AMAZING! She came to my home and got to know the dogs before we needed her. You could tell the dogs liked her right away (my pups are a little picky about who they like). Then she let us know when she was coming and sent pictures of the dogs - every day - many pictures. It made being away just a little easier. I will use her again, for dog sitting, as well as doggie daycare!
Rachel is absolutely amazing! Once I reached out to her, she responded within minutes, and after our initial conversation, I could tell that she would be a great fit. She came a day early to meet my herd and she connected with my babies right away. She’s warm, loving, responsible, and passionate about animals. I immediately felt like I could trust her. While I’ve been off island, she’s gone out of her way to keep me updated, send me pictures and my animals absolutely love her! I cannot recommend her enough! If you’re looking for someone reliable and who cares, Rachel is your lady!
We have taken our fur-baby Pono here quite a few times in the past year or so. Sometimes for a couple days, sometimes a couple weeks. We know Pono is well taken care of by Eddie and Lily. He loves massages and he loves walking himself lol
We took a last minute trip and needed a place to board our border collie last minute. The Hilo Holiday Pet Hotel was recommended by a friend and didn't disappoint. They made room for him and we're very friendly. The only problem we had was our boy didn't want to leave when we got back! Great staff and great facilities. Will definitely use again.
Eddie and his staff was awesome. Anyone that knows me know I do not leave my dogs with just anyone but we were very confident that our babies were in good care. We visited a few boarding facilities before I decided here. Our babies stayed here for 5 days and even though in the beginning they had to get used too it . They loved running in his huge enclosed yard. I called everyday to check on them and I also received pictures ( which eased me). I will definitely use this place and I trust my babies in his care ! Thank you
This is a very caring place they treat my pet as their own family pet. He comes home clean n in the same way as I left him. They play n let the pets run in the yard. Eddie n his staff is like family to us we don’t worry when we live our zoney there. The best pet boarding hotel!!!!
I had planned a trip to the mainland for ten days and landed in the hospital in Nevada. Total days gone from my dog: 17. I felt so helpless and I missed my house dog, Snowflake so much! Snow is handicapped on his hind legs. He can use his hind legs but not for long. He will eventually drag them. Anyway, Uncle Eddie and Aunty Lilia took such good care of him at the kennel that when I picked him up, it was just another day to him. He looked happy, strong, independent and ready to run! Three times a day he would have the freedom to run and exercise his legs and he loved all that grassy areas. I made couple of videos for Snow and they would play it for him just so that he could see me and hear my voice. For sure I will take him there again if I ever need to travel. And the prices are so reasonable especially when it’s long stay. Thank you Eddie and Lilia! I’m so happy my daughter recommended your place! God bless!
My dog absolutely loves it here!! It takes a lot of worry off my mind when I have to leave my dog for a while knowing he is in good hands! Eddie takes great care of him, knows how to handle dogs, and my dog always has lots of fun during his stay. Highly recommended!!
Eddy was amazing with our dogs. He takes them out and plays with them and walks them. His place is so clean and beautiful , I dont think my pets wanted to come home at first. So nice knowing they ste safe and happy with him.
They left my dog unattended all day locked in a cage. She had urinated all over her bed. I had to have a neighbor go and pick my dog up early. No apology from the owner. No refund. Absolutely nothing. Be very cautious when booking here. Also they have fleas on their property. They say they have play time with them but never once took my dog out of the kennel. Be aware!!!! This place is not a 5 Star!!!!
We absolutely love Hilo Holiday Pet Hotel! Eddie is the best and takes such good care of our pups.
My wife and I take our two big pups here. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. I would recommend them to anyone.
Amy and Zeisja are the absolutely best! They are professional, friendly and super helpful. Callie absolutely loves them both and I appreciate them so much! I cannot recommend them enough. Simply the best!
Amy and her staff are so amazing. From little fur babies to BIG ones they do it all. Amy does her magic with my spoiled Shitsu. She looks so pretty when I pick her up. Thank you 😊 …
She does a greatb job Very good with animsls
I am so grateful to have found Su Lin Kennels! I was able to relax a bit knowing my cat was in good hands. They went above and beyond for a fair price. The service that they offer is priceless so they could have charged more. There are not enough stars! Good people! G and I thank you.
This is the only grooming place where the staff is consistent and friendly. My dog started biting other groomers (never happened before), so I found Su Lin Kennels. My dog has never attempted to even bite again! This is huge. I recommend to all! Best groomers on the island!!!!!!
You can depend on Su Lin kennels staff to take great care of all your pets! I highly recommend their services. Zeisja cared for and fed our cat, chickens & fish so we could enjoy our holiday. We are grateful.
Took my two dogs to trim their nails. Super fast and efficient. Friendly staff. I will definitely be back.
Very friendly and nice people. They do a great job, and my dogs love going here!
I highly recommend su lin kennels! They are friendly and professional I am so grateful that they are here in Hilo to take care of my dogs 🐕 …
My two huskies are a job and a half. Couldn't ask for better care or better grooming.
Yes, Madame's Cathouse is still open. I have left my cat with Sharon many times (and will again shortly) and it gives me great peace of mind knowing he isn't being left in a cage all day.
At this time, just checking it's still open. I left my cats with Sharon a few times, they are always well taken care of, and, to be honest, she knows more about cats than I do. Now I only have one cat but I have to leave the island again and I hope that's where she can go while I'm away.
Is this business operating at all? I've been calling at different times for about 3 months now. Every time there's no response and I get sent to voice mail. I've also left several voice mailed and have yet to be called back. All I want to know is if this business is still open.
The owner’s 20+ years of solid experience and the cozy, very cat friendly, space devoted to housing a small number of cats, makes this place the best of the best when it comes to cat boarding. Very happy to leave my cat masters with Madame!
I love Sharon - her love and care for all animals alike is something out of this world. The location of her property is secluded and in a unique spot, most definitely a good experience for all kitty cats!
Love Auntie Sharon. Best cat lover on the Aina! I always trust my darling little kitty in her care when we're on the other side or on the mainland. Best cathouse in town!
I love Madame's Cathouse and feel comforted that my kitty is well taken care of when I travel! I would highly recommend Madame's Cathouse for boarding your furry friend!
