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
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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!!
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
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!
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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 18 CHF 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!
Claudia has a huge heart for dogs and looks after her four-legged customers with loving care and great competence. Our dog Quinn loves the days and also the holidays with Claudia. She always comes home happy and full of energy. As an independent entrepreneur, I also really appreciate Claudia's great flexibility. Picking up later due to an occasion or extra days are almost always possible. Thank you, dear Claudia, for the great support and your loving, warm manner. We are very happy that you exist!
We would like to thank Claudia and Adi for the loving and competent care of our dog. He didn't lack for anything and we were able to go on vacation with peace of mind. They paid attention to his food allergy and that he doesn't get anything else in his mouth that he can't tolerate👍 We always enjoy bringing Baily back. Thank you both for everything🙏🏻
Our Mira (toy poodle) loves going to Claudia. Claudia also looks at the special needs when feeding. We are glad we found Claudia. So we can hand over our Mira with a clear conscience. I always say: “Mira is in the playgroup” 😅 …
Our little Sky loves going to Claudia. She is very professional and the dog comes home completely tired and exhausted. Claudia's Animalcare is highly recommended! :)
Claudia has helped us enormously over the last few years with her competent and very loving care of our dog. It was only thanks to their commitment and efforts that my father was able to keep his dog. For the last few months our dog lived entirely with Claudia because my father was no longer able to do it himself due to an operation. The dog was doing very well and we were happy about this good solution! Christine Künzli
The care of our dogs in Claudia's Animal Care is good. The dog is happy and tired when he comes home in the evening. Exactly what I expected. I can recommend this support.
I had my dog with Claudia for more than 5 years. Since we moved, I had to look for new care with a heavy heart. My dog always loved going to her. I highly recommend this place as a great choice for dogs.
Super great and reliable dog care. Our buddy really enjoys going to Claudia and we are happy that someone is taking such good care of him.
Very loving dog carer with a big heart towards all animals. She has enormous knowledge of animal behavior and can immediately recognize when a dog is suffering. I can only recommend you. Johannes Häbenschwiler
Absolutely reliable - goes outdoors with her pack every day in all weathers. Always has the pack well under control & the dogs feel comfortable with Claudia!
Jennifer is the absolute BEST!! She understands my dog better than I do, and my pup ADORES her. She has learned SO much under Jennifer's training. She's a more confident and social dog. Jennifer truly loves dogs and is always trying to make their lives better. I never have to worry when my pup is with Jennifer either for daycare or boarding. And she always comes home happily exhausted from their adventures :) Plus, Jennifer takes amazing photos and videos of the pups! Highly recommended.
Jennifer is one of the best dog educators and caregivers I have ever met. Every time my dog comes back tired, more educated, and couldn’t wait to go back. Jennifer sends pictures and updates throughout the day, and always gives feedback and tips at the end of the day. I strongly recommend Jennifer and her services!
This dogsitter is great! My dog loves to spend the day with Jennifer. She is very knowledgeable and will also make sure the dogs get mental work to do in addition to the physical exercise. I can highly recommend her! 👍🐶 …
We got almost 5 months old puppy that has not been socialised with other humans and animals. Moreover he barks at any moving object and has no basic training so currently is very thought. Jennifer came to our house and was able to provide us with great training, which only after a day has a great potential for permanent results. She is very kind and patient. Thank you and we will for sure be back to you Jennifer!
Jennifer is a wonderful and caring person, ready to help you/your dog in every way she possibly can. Also, Norman is the sweetest dog! She also has a very nice space to accommodate dogs. Can only recommend!
I can highly recommend Jennifer and her dog care services. When we got Rocco, a 2.5 year old wirehaired dachshund Kaninchen, we started looking for trainers and dog cares to help him socialise with other dogs and get some training at the same time. Then we met Jennifer and from day one Rocco has enjoyed his days with her and the pack, which is never too big, always full of walks, training and cuddles! Every time that Jennifer picks Rocco up, he waggles his tail and whines happily, and you can really tell that he can't wait for his next adventure!
We have taken our dog Kira (2 years old) to Dogsitting24 for day care and holiday care. Kira has a wonderful time with Jennifer and her pack. Jennifer is very experienced and professional, she structures the walks and trains our dog while respecting our preferences. During longer stays, dogs usually stay in a big garden where they can run around and play, they also have their own space in the house to relax and sleep. They are walked several times a day in the wonderful fields of the area. Whenever we leave Kira with them, we recieve updates regularly on how she is doing so that we can see what they are working on and how she's spending her time. Dogsitting24 creates an amazing environment for dogs to socialise and provides a reliable service. Dogs are in great hands, highly recommend!
Our dog simply loves spending time with Dogsitting24 both in daycare and overnight. Jennifer takes great care of the dogs as well as having a deep knowledge of all things dog-related. We are very satisfied with the service provided by Dogsitting24 and we highly recommend it.
Jennifer is great with our dog and a very nice person. She also had great tips and tricks for our dog. I can highly recommend her!
Jennifer is wonderful! She is very caring and attentive. My young, 3 kilo Yorkie has really blossomed since she started regularly going for the day. She is always so excited to go, and has become more confident and relaxed at home. Jennifer trains the dogs while they are with her, and now my dog is better at coming when called, walking on the leash, and staying by my side while off leash. I love getting all the cute photos and videos of the dogs playing throughout the day, and knowing she is not picking up any bad behaviours. Jennifer's service is excellent, and I highly recommend her. I am so happy we found her!
