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.

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!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
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.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
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.
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, $15/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!
This is the only place I feel our dogs are taken care of in a boarding kennel. Lisa and Randy are great care takers, and it shows in their facility and in our dogs behavior when we pick them up. Our dogs are stress free, not thirsty and their fur and bedding is clean. Thank you Wag n Purr for peace of mind while traveling.
We love Wag and Purr! This is the first and only place that my mom took her beloved 11 year old Boston Terrier too and we took our dog there as well. Randy and Lisa are terrific and the place is so clean and nice! You can feel so great leaving your pet there - they are well-taken care of, played with and have a lot of room to run! This area was in desperate need of a clean, well-kept kennel and Wag and Purr delivers that and so much more!
There isn't a better kennel on Earth! We live out of state and enjoy our visits with our non-pet friends because we can board our dogs at Wag & Purr. It is the standard to which other kennels strive to be. The dogs get plenty of attention and lots of outdoor time. The facility is immaculate and the grounds are obviously groomed by a master gardener. Lisa and Randy - we wish you great success!
Lisa and Randy are so nice! I have not left my dog there yet, but am scheduled to board him. All the kennels are spotless, the runs are huge, everything is so we'll set up. All the animals seem happy and not stressed out.
Wag & Purr is the only pet boarding place we go to now. Lisa and Randy are so attentive and welcoming for our dog. We have gotten into the habit of scheduling our dog's stay at Wag & Purr and making sure that is set before scheduling anything else for our vacations since it is such a good experience and above the competition.
Wag & Purr is the only place we will take our boys too. Randy and Lisa are exceptional. When we toured the Hotel aka facility, we were highly impressed. The first time we boarded our boys, upon picking them up we were given pictures of their stay and when we got home they were exhausted. This was a sure sign they had tremendous amount of fun. Now, throughout the years, we consider the boys to be going on their own special vacation as well. They become excited as soon as we turn down the street and are in a big hurry to get out of the car and into the resort. Randy and Lisa are passionate about their business. They are patient, kind and calm. And when I see my boys comfortable and happy I know this will be their home away from home forever. It's the best kept secret! Elite is an understatement for the services provided. My husband and I have been out of country for an extended period of time and although we have missed our boys we trust Randy and Lisa. We never worry about them while they are in their care. To us trust is priceless and we fully trust Wag & Purr.
Simply put-Best kennel ever. The personal touch is evident in everything they do. There is real care for the dogs, not just ours but all of them. Even though we moved out of state we we bring our dogs back next time we need boarding.
Love these guys. They have aways taken care of my dogs. Their units are very clean. They have a living room where the dogs feel like their at home. Fenced in dog runs.
I service this company's Heating and Cooling and want to say, this place and it's ownership are top notch! I would feel very comfortable leaving my animal here.
This business is amazing Lisa the owner so personable I will not be stressed at all leaving my dog with these people for 7 days their facility is beautiful their attitude is awesome check it out
Absolutely wonderful! If you love your dog as much as I love mine they will be in excellent hands at beyond The basics dog care! You can tell the difference when someone sincerely does it for the love of animals and this place is all that and then some! I'm a guy that's very attached to his dog as though he's my little boy and I felt hesitant to leave him overnight anywhere and because of unfortunate circumstances I had to have a place for him to stay the night and all of my worries were taken away by the genuine care he received! I highly recommend this place! Best Dog Care Around! Jenny Actually Cares! Beyond the Basics is true my dog is happy to arrive 😁 Jenny goes that extra mile to make your fur babies feel like they're still at home. She is it genuine sincere kind soul and I trust her with my fur son❤️
Only boarding we use. We drive an hour out of our way just to use Jenny. She is beyond experienced handling dogs and takes great care of each animal as it’s her own! She helped tame Wildman Tux. ❤️
Our dog loves this place. She takes very good care of our Murphy.
Mrs. Jenny and her mom literally saved my dogs life!! They are amazing and care for your dogs as they are your own!
Jenny is awesome and really cares for our babies. My boys love going to see her, it’s like they get their own little vacation.
Jenny is one of the most wholesome and kind hearted business owners I have ever met. We are beyond grateful that Jenny has watched our dogs for the past four years. We would be lost without her care and are glad we found such a caring individual to leave our dogs with when we are out of town. Please don’t hesitate to leave your pets with Jenny at Beyond the Basics !
As always nothing but the best treatment . We've been using them for a few years maybe once or twice a year and our great Danes seem to enjoy and have a wonderful time. Very clean , plenty of space for the doggies to play and I cant say enough great things about Jenny. Patience of a Saint, nicest personality, clearly actually does it for the love of the animals.
The owner is awesome. We never have any issues. She does awesome with our dogs. It's so nice to be able to go away and know they are safe. Thanks Jenny for everything we appreciate you so much!!
Jenni is fantastic. My crazy pup loves her. She feels safe, loved and well cared for while she is there.
I will not take my dogs anywhere else for boarding. Jenny is a dog person through and through and it really shows. She's always excited to see our dogs like they are her own. She takes pictures and videos for you as well. Nothing bad to say at all. I wish every animal boarding facility was ran by her!
My Harley girl has been coming to this facility for a few months now and she is always so excited to go play with her friends. The staff there are always so happy to see her and sometimes give me a review of how she did and what friends she had made that day. The only thing I could maybe critique is the cameras to check on the pups aren't great quality but now that she's so happy to go every few days, I trust these beautiful humans to take care of my baby girl. Thank you! ❤️
We have been taking our border collie puppy Dexter here for a few months now for daycare. They always take great care of him! He gets so excited when we pull up, and is always tired coming home. The staff there are friendly- we especially love Izzy, they always gives us nice little updates on how his day went! It's really nice that they have cameras as well, where we can check on Dexter throughout the day. The last few months he has grown a lot, turning into a nice young adult dog and we have them to thank for helping with that!
Absolutely Love and Highly recommend The Furlough Dog Daycare. I have two large dogs a Husky and a German Shepard which are difficult to find overnight stays or grooming, not for The Furlough, they are amazing. I use them for a dog play day, to let them mingle with other dogs in an amazing and safe environment or more recently a few nights vacations for the family I was able to board my dogs. My dogs love this place. Grooming is great too!! Thank you Furlough!!!
After having a few bad experiences at another facility with Titan, a previous dog I owned, I decided to groom him myself. I currently have 2 Keeshond dogs, Maive and Maverick. There is NO way I could groom them! I have only ever gotten them groomed here, and don’t plan on going anywhere else! Why would I? They ask me what I want for them. They follow through with the directions I give. They do it with a smile on their face. The best part is they do a beautiful job!
I have gotten my dogs groomed there and I have bored them there. I love this place they live on my dogs and take great care of them. I won't go anywhere else!!
🐾We love this place ❤ we have been taking our dog Noah for about a year now he loves it! It feels good to beable to go on vacation or away for the weekend and know my fur baby is safe only compliant would be it's hard to see the cameras at times 🐾 …
I read all the reviews and a family friend recommended this place to me. I needed a place for my dog to be boarded for Thanksgiving week. This place is so nice and friendly. The staff members really care for your fur baby while you are away. There are nice dogs everywhere. My little husky-mix, Plum made lots of friends both human and canine while she stayed there. Miss Plum was so happy so she and I will definitely return to the Furlough for sure.
They take great care of our Sailor! You can trust them with your fur baby!!!
Great place. Took my dog here a few times. Employees to me feel like they actually care about your pup and not just babysitting. Definitely will recommend!
A great place. It is obvious they love what they do
Our (2) Labrador Retrievers have been lovingly cared for and adored by SSWD, Michelle Payne and her staff for almost 6 years. They LOVE her and everyone that have cared for them from her business. We appreciate you and are so blessed to have had you around all of these years loving our babies as if they were yours! Thanks for all you do and for always going above and beyond! These days you don’t know who to trust, but we have sure trusted you with our precious angels! Much Love, Beauregard & Maxwell Calhoun & Family.
Highly recommend Michelle!!!!! One of our dogs is a little nervous with new people and she spent extra time to gain his trust - we can tell he loved her!!! She took such good care of our boys. 🐾 …
Michelle from Sit, Stay, Walk was amazing! It was everything we wanted in a pet sitter. She kept a log of her visits, with a list of the duties she completed, she gave us periodic updates, everything clean and neat when we came home AND she got our mail!! Amazing!!
Sit stay walk Dog walking and pet care are great . They are so good to our labrador puppy and patient loving and kind. Don’t know what we would do without them. Our dog walker, Hannah. She is amazing! Gives us peace of mind, knowing she takes such great care of him . Gina Daniels
Savannah & Michelle take such good care of my boys. They were very accommodating to my schedule change last minute and taking extra care of my injured pup. Highly recommend.
Let me just say these gals are AMAZING 😍. We found they went above and beyond what they were to do. Our dogs LOVE them! There communication while we were gone was outstanding which Included even pictures! If you're thinking of a vacation or let out service or dog walking these ladies are your go-to ♥️ We highly recommend them to all our fur family.
Very upset! The sitter (S.E) locked our dogs OUTSIDE in our un fenced yard the weekend before the 4th! So people were already setting off fireworks! A conversation that I had with the sitter several times warning about the unpredictable nature of dogs and what will freak them out! Our neighbor corralled them after hearing them whining for SEVERAL hours! When I contacted the sitter she said she had “just” left but the neighbor proved that entirely inaccurate. When I contacted the owner as this was all happening she didn’t even feel the need to respond to my text AT ALL!!! I contacted her again after six hours and she didn’t even apologize! I waited several hours for the sitter to show me in photos that she was in fact back home with my dogs safely in the house. She didn’t rush and I HAD to ASK for proof she was back and everything was as it should be! Unbelievable! Then she had the nerve to take the tip I left in advance and left our shower a mess! Never ever use this company!!! The owner doesn’t even care!
This is a very professional organization, patient and caring. You would be hard pressed to find a business that is as concise and timely. Your animals will be in good hands, and your mind at ease while you go about your daily life. Couldn’t recommend a better service, you won’t regret booking an appointment.
No one will take care of your animal babies as well as SSW!! I can’t say enough great things, and highly recommend! Your fur babies will thank you 😊 …
Used them for a vacation sit recently. Amazing service, and was great with my doggos! Will be using them again in the future!
