Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
. 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.
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
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!
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
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.
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his 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 him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was 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 Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes 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 within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. 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. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me 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 €15 per visit, 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!
Pierre and I love Harvey’s House! They provide a very cozy indoor and outdoor environment! They were so welcoming and helpful with getting him use to being around other dogs. Now he’s excited to go on play dates any chance he can get!
I have been bringing my dog to Harvey’s for 1-1/2 years now and Andrea and Chris are great! They care about the dogs and I love their updates. They are so easy to work with especially with my little nervous doggie! I highly recommend Harvey’s house pet care!!
So grateful for finding Harvey’s house after a friends recommendation! I was nervous for our first time leaving our pup for vacation, but Andrea and Chris made the experience so easy and stress free! I Would 100% recommend and will be using them again now that we have experienced such great care for our Rebel while we are away from home. Rebel had such a great time with Harvey and was able to explore and have fun while we were away. I got frequent pictures with updates and felt at ease knowing he was comfortable and in good hands. Allows for us to easily book our next trip knowing our dog will be in good hands in the future.
I’m so glad that one of our friends shared Harvey’s House w/ us!!! From the 1st contact we knew that Rudy was going to be in the best hands!! Communication is caring, prompt & so easy! Everything they do is so thoughtful! For our 1st step Andrea, Chis & Harvey had us come over for a meet & greet! They had several dogs that day & let me tell you they have this figured out!!! They had the dogs they were watching come outside one by one to meet Rudy. He has never had the opportunity to play w/ other dogs so we did not know what to expect. The approach that they have was awesome & he had so much fun making new friends & playing! Drop off & pick ups are easy! The communication while we were away was OUTSTANDING!! Anytime I texted I heard back right away, we received pictures & you can follow along on their instagram stories & it puts your heart @ ease while you are away from your pet! We truly felt like Rudy was on his own little vacation!! We will always use Harvey’s House now when we go away & will definitely be spreading the word to anyone looking for the best care possible for their pet while on vacation! They also have dog play dates which we will have Rudy attend soon as I am sure he is already missing Andrea, Chis, Harvey & his other new friends❤️
Harvey's House (Andrea and Chris) were amazing caregivers for our guinea pigs while we were away for a week-long vacation coinciding with our kids' April school vacation. Beyond simply feeding and cleaning up after our GPs daily, they gave them plenty of love and kept us updated with adorable photos and videos. We could not be happier with the service Harvey's House provided and we would certainly hire them again and recommend them to our friends.
We are new to Harvey's House. I used to bring my guys to a kennel and always kind of felt bed, since they are not used to sleeping in a crate. Harvey's House is perfect. They get to socialize with other dogs (carefully though...we needed to do a meet and greet to make sure all the personalities meshed before we jumped in). The environment is very similar to their environment at home...lounging around the house and running around a fenced-in yard. Additionally, Harvey's House came to the rescue when my mother passed and I needed a place for my buddies to stay for two nights...it was great. I was not worried one bit about my Frank & Mick. 🐶❤️🐕
Harvey's House is an amazing place! Andrea and Chris are super nice and patient. They welcomed my doggie with love and joy. They make the drop off and pick up process very easy. I highly recommend Harvey's House to anyone looking for a safe, loving and reliable environment!
We are ever so grateful for finding the most perfect pet care place for our very energetic 7 month old silver lab - Charlie. Andrea, Chris and of course Harvey are a blessing to my husband and I. They take such good care of our dog when we cannot be him. They love him as if he is their own dog. Andrea sends me pictures throughout his stay to assure us that our dog is doing well in their care. I never worry about Charlie when he is with them. I would 100% recommend Harvey’s House to anyone that needs pet care. Don’t hesitate to reach out to Andrea & Chris. You will be so happy that you did! I know that we are.
Harvey’s House Petcare is a local treasure. Our dog is extremely social and it is a dream come true to have Harvey’s available for both Saturday play dates, to let him simply be a dog with other dogs, and for sleepovers when we are traveling. He is able to be in the comfort of an home and honor his instincts as a pack animal. Andrea and Chris are like every dog’s Auntie and Uncle and we are so lucky to have them in the Greater Springfield area. Highly recommend!!!
Harvey’s House PetCare is AWESOME!!! What a find! We were referred by a friend after having a horrible experience with an area kennel. Andrea and Chris took the time to meet Lucy (free of charge) to get to know her so she and we would be comfortable with her staying at Harvey’s House. Being able to go away and have a peace of mind that Lucy was being well taken care of and loved meant a lot to us! We received daily videos and pictures which were so fun to watch. We highly recommend Harvey’s House PetCare for their professionalism and love for animals! Worth every penny!! Thank you Andrea & Chris!
