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.

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 absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
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!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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!
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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, $17/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!
A+++! Left my two dogs there this past weekend and they did wonderful! My one dog has a lot of anxiety, and the owner of the kennel made him feel at ease. Also sent me photos during their stay. Thank you for taking care of my fur babies!
We have been using "Like Our Own" kennel for the last 6 mos. (On and off) while we have been moving. Our dogs love it there and always return happy and well-cared for. I never have to worry about my pets' well being and it has eased my mind while I'm away from them.
What a hidden gem! Kari, Brad and her son Hunter truly care for and enjoy all the animals. We are just down the road from the kennel so when the sign popped up I made a call and asked to take a tour (I was nervous to leave my baby). Now, 3+ years later my Aussie, Nash, and my daughter two aussies, Moose and Maggie (the Aussie posse), spend several nights there a year. They eagerly jump out of the car to get to the door. They are even treated to gifts at the holidays and I can leave them knowing they are well taken care of. The kennels are clean with both air conditioning and heat. Day care is also an option, this is how I started trying it out.
Like our Own is so amazing with our pups!! This is the only kennel I will take my babies to. My little rescue pup is a very nervous and distrusting dog. She LOVES Kari and jumps right into her lap when we arrive!!!
My dog Atlas (German Shepherd) loves going to doggie daycare here! They are always accommodating to my early work schedule and will allow me early drop offs. They work to coordinate the best days for him to have the best playgroups and as soon as we pull in he can’t wait to get inside. Pickups are easy and flexible and loading him in the car is a challenge because he doesn’t want to leave. They take excellent care of him and I’m so thankful we found them! Best thing we did for Atlas!
We love Like Your Own Kennel! They are affordable and flexible for drop off/pick up times and last minute schedule changes. Our pup Sasha gets so excited when she sees Kari and has created friendships with other dogs! The socialization our pup is getting is so valuable and we appreciate it so much! 💗 We even get the cutest pictures while she’s there! 🐾
I absolutely love Like Our Own Kennel. Kari and Brad are amazing with my pups. My boy attends daycare there several days a week. They work with my schedule and let me know when his best doggie friends are going to be at the kennel. I love that he can get the exercise that German Shepards require even when I have to work all day. My dog knows the minute that we turn onto their road and gets so excited. I highly recommend Like Our Own Kennel. Hands down, it’s best kennel in the area!!!
Kari was so kind and helpful during a very last minute & chaotic trip to northern Michigan with my Boston Terrier, Butler. Just talking with her made me feel very confident & excited to let Butler try out a new boarding kennel for him. Thank you Kari for your help when I really needed it !
Thank you so much for taking care of our boy. I highy recommend this kennel. Not only are they friends but they genuinely care for the pets in their care. We will be going north in the near future and will definitely be booking a stay for Gunther again.
Very nice people and facility. They have indoor outdoor kennels and a nice grassy play area. Ours girls did very well here. We will be dropping of our boys and girls the next visit.
Rebecca is amazing! At our previous groomer we had our Golden Retriever shaved because she was always so hot. I told Rebecca I regretted it because her hair has never grown back the same. Rebecca not only listened to me, but she Educated me! She told me we would be able to get her hair back to the beautiful soft hair that it was with patience and a lot of hard work on her end. After picking Olivia up, she looked like a whole new dog! Her coat is extremely soft and beautiful and I’m so grateful for Rebecca and her hard work! We will definitely be back regularly!❤️
Rebecca and Amanda did an awesome job grooming my little Jackson, a 5 lb. Shih Tzu! They cut him just as I requested, and he looks so adorable and fluffy! I highly recommend!!!
We thought we try this place because they were close . She did a wonderful job on our 115 lb very anxious shepard/g Pyrenees mix . It was a quiet non chaotic environment. Perfect for anxious dogs . We will definitely return .
Took my Mini Bernedoodle for her first grooming and she looks fantastic!! Owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. Made her next appointment before we left.
I have been so happy about this pooch salon. Rebecca is the best. She’s absolutely amazing and very accommodating to your schedule. I think the biggest thing I like about her and her poochie salon is my Lucy comes home alert, awake and ready to play! Literally every other groomer we used, even other VERY local groomers, Lucy came back tired, lethargic, no appetite and no interest in playing. It honesty took a day or two for her to fully recover from grooming. It truly makes me wonder if they gave me any calming drugs before her grooming. 100% Wag’ Wagon for us! Absolutely love their service and will keep returning.
Best groomer in the area! My dog has never enjoyed herself more being groomed and coming out like a new dog. She was clean an dry and not sheeding like other grooms have left my dog before. Her ears where clean and nails where done. I could not be more satisfied 😌! This groomer will see me back and I hope you will check her out cause it's worth it!
This was the best grooming experience and my fur baby left so happy! The owner was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. She also was extremely kind and treated my dog as if he were her own. Could not recommend enough! If you are in the area and looking for a groomer this is the place to be. 😊😊😊 …
I was super happy with my Dr Lucille Poochenstien’s day at the groomers. They did an amazing job. Stand up place. We will for sure be returning with business. Lucy came home with such a better attitude and lots of energy. She’s come home pretty groggy and kinda tired from other groomers.
I love when I come to pick up my shih Tzu she is walking around waiting for me 🙂🙂 Rebecca does a nice job 😉 …
Rebecca is absolutely amazing! She does such a great job and our dog loves her. We really appreciate everything she does.
