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'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
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 !
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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, $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!
Margo is a kind ,compassionate, and caring person who loves dogs, and will care for your dog as if they were her own. Whenever I have to leave my dear furry companion, I know I never have to worry the tiniest bit when I leave her with Margo, as she gives her all the love, attention, and care she could possibly need by walking, feeding her regularly, and giving her lots of warm and caring cuddles. I have also observed her with many different dogs, and she provides the same care and attention to each and everyone of them! I highly recommend her to board and care for your furry loved ones!
Margot cares for dogs like they're her children. She's kind, responsible and especially meticulous with dogs requiring medications and special care. Really the best dog boarding experience you can get!
Margot is a very loving and trustworthy person. She has very good skills working with animals. I recommend her!
We ADORE Margot. She is attentive, understanding of both pet and owner. What a gift she has been to our fold.
My standard poodle had a great time playing with the other dogs while my husband and I were mtb at angel fire bike park. It was such a quick and easy location, super close to AF and where we were camping. The owner is so friendly and I felt my dog was well taken care of. Would recommend to anyone looking for daycare/boarding 10/10. I will be using the facilities again the next time I’m in town!
We just picked up our dog, Pula, from Pet Pals. It was his first overnight visit and it couldn’t have gone better! Sandra, the owner, runs a great facility and her dog Rocky is such a sweet heart! It was clean and the dogs had plenty of space to run around and play. When we pulled up to pick him up he didn’t even notice us because he was having such a good time! It was so nice to see him having so much fun!! She sent plenty of pictures and updates which made me feel good and more comfortable with him spending the night away for the first time. I would definitely recommend Pet Pals for anyone who wants a fun and safe space for their pet. Thank you Sandra!
Her communication was good and her attitude as well from the start. She has the rule of no pitbulls or bull breeds of any. She declined my rot saying she looked more pit then rot which in my years of owning her and taking her out on hikes brewery tour or even walk.... no one person ever ask if she had pit in her. She told be she sends the pics of my rot out and some committee of 12 members 9 of them though my dog was more pit then rot. I wish Google had ways of me loading photos so viewers checking out my review could see how poor her knowledge is on dog breeds are!in Could see no way what so ever my dog has no pit in her. Lastly she told me inaccurate story of 2 pits getting out and attacking a person ripping there finger off... I contacted 8 different residents in the town about the attacks and not one including the mayor said "that's never happened here. If your not comfortable watching my dog... just tell me! I wouldve bee alright with it. But dont make false claims about people's dogs.
Our little vacation was almost ruined when our pup absolutely REFUSED to stay in the hotel room while we skied. LUCKILY this kennel was open and it was such a blessing! Our dog had the best time playing outside in the snow & laying by the fire. Highly recommend. Thank you for saving our vacay!
Worst customer service I’ve ever received, I don’t imagine how the dogs may feel with that lady and his attitude that she has, I’ll never trust this business again.
Because of the snow it is a beautiful place
Thank you for looking after my Rosie. The kennels are clean, heated, & each dog has their own kennel with a door for outdoor time. The host was extremely helpful and reassured me. This was Rosie’s first time in a kennel and seemed satisfied but when it was time to go home, she was READY!!
I highly recommend for all your pet boarding! I travel frequently and have been bringing my pet here for over a year now whenever I have to leave town. They are such a joy to work with and so caring - I always know my pet is in great hands!
Very attentive and loving to clients pets she cares for!! I would definitely recommend her. You have to make an appointment to get your dog boarded FYI.
Always a pleasure! They take fantastic care of our fur babies when we need to travel out of town. There isn't anyone else we trust! Thanks for always being there for us when we need you, SMK! ❤️
My Salukis go here when I am out of town. I know they will be safe and well cared for
Really friendly owner who takes great care of our dogs.
I wouldn't take my mother in law to this place! Very Scary. Works out of a mobile home with a few dog enclosures outside. Very unprofessional.
Nice people that treat the animals well
Great place staff is excellent
Love this place.
We’ve been boarding our two dogs, Bane and Ozzy, at Monte Vista Pet Lodge for quite some time, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they receive. Every time we drop them off, we know they are in great hands. The staff is simply amazing—they’re always friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about the pets. Bane and Ozzy always get plenty of attention and playing time, and it’s clear that they are well-loved while they’re there. It's such a relief knowing that our dogs are not only safe but are also having a blast while we’re away. We highly recommend Monte Vista Pet Lodge to anyone looking for top-notch pet care. It’s truly a fantastic place!
This place is absolutely incredible!! Our lil guy has gone here for almost a year & each experience has been pleasant! The staff is always so amazing & have worked hard to make sure each dog is comfortable! Nothing but good things to stay about this spot!
Monte Vista Pet Lodge is amazing! Cayla and the entire staff are incredibly friendly and genuinely care about the animals they look after. They always go above and beyond to make sure Omar feels comfortable and loved while we’re away. We wouldn’t trust leaving him at any other facility—Monte Vista truly feels like a second home for him. Highly recommend!
Our fur babies come home happy, healthy and exhausted. The daily updates are reassuring, especially since no matter where we vacation they are always on our minds. The incoming reception is warm and heart felt, as well as the release staff letting us know our boys will be missed.
They are super friendly! I love how they send you pictures and a quick report letting you know how your dogs are doing. These are the type of photos you receive. The grooming services are great as well. Both of my dogs were groomed over their stay. They are beat from all the playing.
Monte Vista Pet Lodge has been taking care of my dog while we travel for a few years now. They never disappoint. The staff is amazing and my Syd loves it there. I will continue to use them.
Monte Vista Pet Lodge is our family's go to place for doggie daycare and boarding services for our two canine family members, Oswald and Winky. The staff is friendly and attentive, and when we boarded them for 18 days during our vacation this past summer, they were very well taken care of, and were given the food that we provided for each of them per my instructions. Our pups attend daycare at MVPL at least once every week, and they are always very excited to go. When we pick them up at the end of the day, we receive two happy, tired pooches, and we often get verbal reports on how their day went from the staff. Monte Vista Pet Lodge has been great for our family, and it's nice to support a truly local business in Rio Rancho.
They treated my baby girl like the princess she is 😊. First time daycare was exceptional and every visit after was equally yhe same. Friendly staff, easy client portal and pup loves it. Definitely a keeper for a home away from home for our girl!! …
We were on vacation for a week and during that time our dog went completely blind, and into organ failure due to not eating. The story that I am getting from the facility keeps changing. We are beyond upset. Dropping off a dog who was given a clean bill of health the week prior by her vet (she has dental decay and a heart murmur) and then picking up a dying dog covered in her own vomit is not acceptable. The report card we received from them while we were gone stated she was doing “great”. They didn’t notice she went blind while in their care, nor that she had lost an extreme amount of weight. After getting her home, we made the decision to take her to an emergency vet facility. Due to her condition, the decision was made to put her down to end her suffering. We are devastated. We have used them for our girls for years with no problems until now. I do not believe our girl was treated with malicious intent, but with neglect. How do you not notice a dog has gone completely blind in your care and is starving to death? The manager Cayla, was kind, but the story we have been told has changed multiple times and many excuses have been given. The bottom line is our dog was neglected while in their care and it has resulted in her death. The owner lives in TX but I did speak to him by phone and after a lengthy discussion, he reimbursed us the cost of our dogs stay, and for Daisy’s cremation. He also owns the Zia Pet Hospital which is located right next door. I understand both businesses are currently up for sale. I did reach out inquiring if I could make a grooming appointment for one of our other dogs, as the groomer was wonderful and always did a great job, and is separate from the boarding, but was told no. That’s perfectly understandable, and we scheduled her somewhere else.
my dog Q-bert would write her own review of daycare at Monte Vista Pet Lodge, but she doesn't have thumbs or know how to use a computer, so instead here is a picture of her celebrating a recent birthday with her friends there. I am hoping it accurately conveys her feelings. thank you :^)
