It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
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!
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.
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
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 !
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
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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, $14/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!
Charley, my Havanese, has stayed with Top of the Bay while I was hospitalized and received the best of care. They have done a great job with his grooming. I am very pleased with Greg and his staff.
This is a great place to take your pet for lodging. My dog has stayed here two different times and comes home happy and healthy. He got groomed here as well and the groomer did a great job! Highly recommend this place!
This place used to be "Top of the Bay"Now it is rundown and shabby looking, Overpriced,And now they exploit dogs with these ridiculous dog shows,And obedience training,Which is done cruelly,Skip this place and go to Keverton or Goldenwood
They take care of the dogs, however the place is run down and disorganized! The kennels are clean, but the facilities need a really good cleaning & overall makeover! The layout is so dysfunctional it causes the employees to spend so much time running in circles! This place needs to be torn down & built over to be functional & run properly & smoothly!
We have been using Top of the Bay for years and love the staff! Extremely friendly and I love that the owner lives on site so the animals are never alone. My English Mastiff can be very timid - the first two times I practically had to drag him in - by the 3rd time his tail wags, he is excited, and walks right on in. The only draw back is the appearance, the place is a little outdated - not a fancy dog spa. But personally, I care more about the staff and how they treat the animals.
They were very accommodating. I drove in from out of town and they saw me when I got in. They took great care of my cat, Athena, and dog, Zeus. My pets did NOT want to leave. Plus, they had so much fun that they slept the entire ride home, which was about an hour and a half. They did not have too much energy the next day either. Lol! I go to St. Michael's about 10 times a year so I will be stopping back at Top of the Bay Pet Lodge again.
Love the team here. Great for boarding, and also training. The staff really cares about your dog - it's good to know your buddy is being cared in great manner. Will continue to use this nice place.
We boarded our 2 three year old beagles here for 4 days. The place is very dated, but it appears safe. They use a two gate system to keep dogs in, which was our main concern given the nature of beagles. The reason for my review is for the extremely poor, rushed nail trimming job they did on one of our beagles. We called over 5 hours before pickup to state that we would arrive around 5-5:30PM to pickup our dogs; we arrived at 5:20PM. When we walked in, they indicated that they had forgotten to clip our one dogs toes. They said they would do it right then. They did, and the $20 nail trim took all of about 2 mins. This was shocking to me, as our vet and normal groomer usually take much longer, but nonetheless we paid our bill and left. About 10 mins later down the road we noticed blood everywhere on my wife's shirt, front seat, and dash. Four nails, one on each of her paws were bleeding very heavily. It was not a small drop of blood, but a very noticeable and alarming amount. They were cut way, way too short. We live close by and immediately called the pet lodge to notify them of what was going on, and ask what we needed to do. Their comment to my wife was, "this happens here all the time, just put some baking soda on them or anything startchy." They did not offer any apology whatsoever, and frankly acted surprised that we would call them with such a small issue as having a dog with 4 profusely bleeding toe nails. It is also not common with professional nail trimming, and it has never happened at any point in the past when we have had them done at our vets office or normal groomer. We have always paid someone to do it because we understood how incredibly painful it is for them to get cut too short. After this treatment we could never trust them to provide any service for our dogs, and frankly have serious concerns for their grooming ability and judgment. It would be one thing if it was one nail, and they apologized; dogs can move, I get it. This, however, was a botched rushed job that resulted in extreme pain for the dog, 4 bloody toenails, blood all over my car, and an excuse that "it happens all the time."
They do a great job grooming my fluffy corgi. And believe me, there's a ton of fluff to groom. My pup is always excited to go visit and is always happy and ready when I pick him up. Would definitely recommend.
Yesterday I took my little Shitzu Poo to Top of the Bay for grooming. I didnt realize how scruffy Rugby was until they bought out Rugby after grooming...I now have a show dog ! I was so excited. They not only made my dog beautiful, the groomer gave me so much info on this breed of dog without me even asking. I'm just so impressed with Top of the Bay and their staff.
We brought our 4 year old German shepherd/ husky for a last minute stay. They were extremely accommodating, provided photos, a report card and provided exceptional care to our baby. He got to go for a nature walk, have some yard time and play in the pool which is his favorite activity in the world! Staff was extremely lovely and we can’t wait to come back!! Photo is after pick up! He’s usually awake in the car!
I was a little apprehensive about taking my two dogs to a kennel. They are 5 and 7 years old and normally they stay at home with a sitter when we go away. My dogs made out fine and were very happy when we picked them up after a 14 day stay. I will certainly take them back to Golden Wood when we go on our next trip!
The staff is very nice and the care they give is individualized to the pet. My animals are always happy and relaxed when I pick them up. The facility has been modernized and is very clean and attractive.
It's hard to have someone else watch your pets but I really trust Golden Wood. Their communication is amazing and it's so wonderful to be able to book online. My dog and my cat have both stayed at Golden Wood and I will continue to bring them here when I go out of town. The staff is very helpful and I am so happy knowing my pets are in good hands!
Golden Wood is a great place to leave your pet while you are on vacation. We have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and she is very lovable. They have a wonderful staff, and they just love when Abigail smiles at them. We really get to enjoy our vacation knowing that they are taking great care of our Abigail while we are away. Golden Wood definitely gets 5 stars and hands down the best place to leave your pets. I will highly recommend them to anyone who asks where to leave their pets. #1goldenwood kennels is the BEST
We have used Golden Wood Kennels numerous times for our two dogs. We love the staff and our dogs love the staff, which is the most important thing. Love getting pics of their snuggle time and we always feel comfortable boarding them there, knowing they will be safe, comfortable and most of all LOVED!!!!
Kelley R. gave our pup her first haircut and it is adorable! Our pup doesn't have her confidence yet with new situations and people and this made me nervous leaving her for grooming. But I felt she was safe at Golden Wood and obviously Kelley was able to keep her calm and gave her an awesome haircut. We will be back.
Kelley always does a fantastic job grooming our dogs. They leave looking beautiful and happy. Our boy Mateo says 4 paws up!
Would highly recommend Golden Wood in Oxford for a wonderful home away from home! Very caring, and loved receiving the daily pics of my Zazel.
Goldenwood was perfect! Daily updates on Bella with pictures and she came home happy, healthy and clean!
I never thought the day would ever come when I could comfortably leave my corgi at home when we had to go away. Then I met Ashley! She is amazing with my Skye, and has the patience and knowledge to turn a corgi with separation anxiety into a loyal puppy who loves and trusts her. Skye gets SO EXCITED when Ashley walks into the house! And Ashley excels at communication, sending daily photos and reports to put my mind at ease. Skye has so much fun with her – when we returned home, she was happy to see us, but I could tell she was still wondering where Ashley went! Thank you so much Ashley for taking such good care of my dog.
Ashley is amazing! As you can see from the pics she sent below, my dogs Tito and Ringo absolutely love her and had a blast. She did a wonderful job caring for them for a week, which is no easy feat with two border collies and a muddy yard. So much so, we look forward to working with her as a trainer too. I highly recommend Ashley and feel lucky to have found her.
Ashley was amazing with my dogs. Even gave my newf a nickname that we use still! She was always on time and kept me posted on how my boys were and sent pics sometimes! Definitely a great person to take care of any animal!!!
We were going away for three days and didn’t have anyone to come feed our senior dog and our cat. Found Ashley from a Facebook group. I am so happy we found her. She was amazing with our senior dog. I am really picky about how he is taken care of and she was perfect. Can’t recommend her enough. If you need someone definitely give her a call.
Ashley is amazing with our small dog. We are not comfortable leaving our dog with any kennel but Ashley makes us feel at ease! Will continue to use her in the future!
We have had the opportunity to get to know Ashley and her supportive crew for our golden doodle Sox. I must say that when we leave Sox behind, we are never riddled with the usual guilt ("he's going to miss us so much, etc"). We literally drop him off and he jauntily trots right up to Ashley's front door without a look at us as we depart. He's super happy there, and that tells us that Ashley is providing a safe and happy place for our little guy. Totally recommend!
Ashley is absolutely amazing with our yellow lab rescue dog, H. New environments can be stressful for H, but Ashley makes her literally feel right at home. Ashley sends us pictures of H curled up and sleeping on the couch or snuggled next to the nearest human, just like she would be at home. Having a reliable pet sitter that our dog loves gives us peace of mind when we travel and we are so grateful to have Ashley nearby.
Ashley is amazing and very knowledgeable. We used her for training and she really listened to the issues we were having and was so reassuring that she could help us. We were at a critical point of overwhelm with our “rescued” pup and her boot camp training turned everything around. She is incredibly compassionate and intuitive to dogs and humans alike which makes her an absolute gem and lifesaver to our family. Our dog clearly both loves and respects her. She is available to us ongoing as small issues arise and her expertise and care has been invaluable. We can’t recommend Ashley enough!
Ashley is awesome! She helped train my deaf dog Gulliver and he stays with her whenever I go out of town. She keeps me up-to-date with photos of him playing with his friends as well as lounging in her house, so I always know he is in good hands! I highly recommend her services.
Absolutely the best pet sitter!!!! Right at Home Pet Sitting took time and care with each of our fur babies. Sent pictures and updates daily. Which let us know how they were and we got to see them every day!! This is the ONLY pet sitter we will ever use. Thank you for helping and loving our babies like your own!!!
We took our two beagle puppies there for the day while we attended a Graduation on the Western Shore. When we went to pick them up, they were happy and playing. They took great care of our babies while we were gone. I would definitely take them back whenever I needed a daycare or a boarding place. I highly recommend them!!
Thank you for taking amazing care of our girls, they’ve had an overnight stay and grooming here - love this place!
This was my first time visiting peace of mind pet boarding and I will never choose another place but this. I needed both of my dogs’ toenails trimmed. I was very anxious about the whole process, but everyone was super friendly and competent and made the whole process seamless.
Peace of Mind Boarding does a great job in caring for my doggie. I just used them recently and their professionalism, clean and modern facilities, and responsive staff surely gave me peace of mind. I will definitely board my dog there again. The photo is of my happy doggie after 8 days boarding.
What a wonderful place to board your pet. My Maggie spent 6 days at Peace of Mind and I couldn't be happier with the care she received. The owner worked with me when my flight was delayed and I couldn't pick Maggie up until the next day. Best part is that even with separation anxiety, Maggie didn't have to take any meds. I have already booked her next stay . LOVE ❤️ 😍 💖
Highly recommend ❣️They are the absolute best and truly care for your pet. This was the best haircut my dog has had in 11 years🥰 …
Just picked up our dog Nelly from Peace of Mind and she will def be back again next time we go out of town!!! Brittney and Heather are so nice and really care about each pup like they were their own 💕 When they brought our dog Nelly out for pick up, I could tell right away that Nelly LOVED them both and had been well taken care of while we were away. They even washed her bedding for us after she had an accident on her first night, which was so super nice of them to do!
I called last minute to get our dog in for a simple bath and they got her in and did a great job. They were super friendly and kind. We will be definitely using them again.
Jess is very upbeat and you can tell she loves her job. My dog looks great and had a great experience. She truly cares about her clients. Thank you for a wonderful experience and we will be back!
Love this place! The staff are so kind, and seem to enjoy my little dog, even though she's an ornery little puppy.. She loved being there! It was a great vacation for us and for her. I used to kennel my cat here before she passed, now they are looking after my puppy. There's no place I would trust more. Appropriately named, Peace of Mind!
A year ago, I met The Freckled Pair when I needed to be with my daughter for a period of time. It was the 1st time I'd ever left my kitties for more than a day or two. I was so anxious and texted them many times each day. They would respond quickly and sent many pictures so I knew things were okay. Since then I've depended on them many times and know how much my kitties like to see them. They've even mastered one of the shy, scared ones to come out and get petted. I love these two ladies and don't know what I would do without them. They are loving to the animals, professional, and dependable. I feel like they are part of our family!❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Freckled Pair are the best! They provided excellent care for my 2 quirky cats (who choose to live on different floors) while I was away. I truly appreciated the daily updates and pictures. I highly recommend these two lovely ladies.
….the best cat sitters on the eastern shore.... we recently used the Freckled Pair for a second time for a longer visit of twice daily checking on our cats, and I must state that they did a phenomenal job of not only giving our cats- much needed daily attention , but they kept in touch, sent pics, took care of the house and left us feeling completely secure that our furbabies were in the best of hands! one of the cats is quite shy but they even managed to get her to come out to them(remarkable!!) absolutely recommend them to any anxious pet owners who need quality care from two of the sweetest n most professional people around... thank you both!
