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.

This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
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!
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!
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"!
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.
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 $ per visit, $25/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!
I loved my experience with these people. They have been in business for a long time and I’ll definitely be going back. We were tenderly greeted and my Australian Shepard has never looked so good. I asked for a nice close cut, because it’s summer and he loves to swim and the owner did a fabulous job. I will bring him back there and I will board there if I ever need to. Great place I walked in to a place in a small strip mall in Hubbardston to get some information not too long ago and waited and waited and waited (in fact I think I was being ignored, since she looked at me several times) young lady working on an Aussie who didn’t appear to be having a good time (yelped while I was there). Once that occurred, I turned around and headed for the door and decided that I will never return there.
I had my high energy yet obedient dog groomed . My dog is usually excited to see me when I pick him up from a groomer. He was groggy, listless and slept the whole way home. Ask if they give calming treats before grooming. My dog was drugged without my permission. If you love your pet, do not go here.
Puttin on the Ritz is an excellent kennel. Their price is very fair and they handle the dogs excellently. Our dog Dover was a challenge when put into a kennel next to a smaller dog he would turn into a vicious frothing maniac. However through proper kennel management by the owners they found out when placed next to a larger dog he was calm passive and happy. They had no problems with him we even brought tranquilizers just in case because our last kennel could not handle him. When we picked up after 10 days of being in Aruba they said that he was a charm they would be glad to have him back and they did not give him any medication at all and through proper kennel management they handled him brilliantly. I would recommend them to anybody.
POTR receives a lot of great reviews so I was excited to leave my dog with them. However, I was pretty disappointed. When I first arrived, I really couldn’t figure out how to get in. There were no signs about where to go and it looked like a residential house. A woman yelled to me and pointed from inside but I couldn’t figure out what she meant. Whatever though, I know that’s a very minor detail. I continued with the drop off process and spoke to the gentleman that I assume ran the place. He seemed friendly but I was a little concerned about the environment as I saw a lot of dogs in crates. I wasn’t told about how my dog would be treated (if she would go for walks, play time etc) for all I know she could have been in the crate for most of the week. I think if that had been discussed I would feel a little better. After a week went by I picked my dog up. The same gentlemen met me to release her. Again he seemed friendly. However, I quickly noticed a few things. 1) My dog had a significant injury to her nose. I understand that stuff happens when dogs play but I wasn’t told what happened or anything about it. This made me a little concerned. 2) My dog smelled bad. 3) Cost was decent but not for the level of service I got. One year my previous dog stayed at a place in Littleton, NH that charged 25/night and it included a doggy suite, homemade treats, long walks and a full staff of support. That was a steal compared to this. Unfortunately, I will probably not bring her back to POTR.
Great place to board your beloved pets with reassurance that all will be good a short time later. Both my girls got the bath and nail treatments before I picked them up as well! Thumbs up for T & T. !!!!
One of the top groomers in the country. Very good with the dogs. Also excellent for boarding. The dogs are treated well.
They are amazing at grooming, but more importantly, you know you dog is safe and well attended.
Good place to go if you're blue and don't know where to go, this is assuredly where fashion sits. It's really cool here after nine!
They make my rough and tumble, shaggy Poodle look like a show dog when he walks out of there! Wonderful groomers!
My 2 dogs seem to have had a great time for the week they were there!
I brought our cat, Spot here today. July 7, 2020. She needed a bath and due to Covid was past due. Spot doesn't like everyone, she can be very friendly and get mad quick if she doesn't like the situation. Our groomer has moved and I wanted to find one close. Fox Run was awesome. The groomer met me at the door, took Spot and instantly started talking to her, Spot loved that and it made her and me feel good. I picked her up 3 hours later and she was so soft, beautiful and absolutely adorable. Happy as a clam. It cost 45.00 and I gave her 60.00. You cannot beat the price. I highly recommend and will def be going back.
I have a rescue dog that I got in February who is very timid and nervous around new people/dogs, so I was anxious to board her for the first time. We found Fox Run, and Shelby was so great and really listened to my concerns about boarding her. Shelby had different strategies to accommodate her depending on how she adjusted and wasn't judgmental at all (which I have experienced a lot with other dog "professionals"). When we dropped her off for the first time, I could tell my pup was scared, but the staff was great and took it slow with her. We have used them three different times now and I can tell that my dog really likes all the staff and has a lot of fun while she is there. I would use them more for day care if they weren't quite so far from me. Shelby and crew are awesome, and I would trust them to look over any of my dogs I have now or in the future!
Very happy that they were able to board our 2 large mastiffs. Our dogs can be very difficult and they were able to keep them for 12 days on short notice. They kept us up to date on how they were doing. The process was very simple.
We used Fox Run Kennel during our trip to MA. When booking the reservation I was told as long as I picked my dog up during the morning hours of 7:30-9, I would only be charged one day. There rate is $45/day/dog. When I picked them up at 8:45 they tried to charge me for two days, stating that if I didn’t pick them up at 7:30, (opening time) then I would automatically be charged for an entire another day. This is deceiving and a scam. I feel like because I was from out of state they were trying to take advantage of me. I refused to pay the two day rate. They allowed me to pay for one day after refusing the ridiculous amount. Don’t go here!
Cancelled on my boarding at the last second in what appeared to be revenge for me cancelling a boarding appointment the other month. I had a boarding scheduled for my dog in June and our trip was cancelled so I cancelled our boarding two weeks in advance. The woman I spoke with obviously didn't properly cancel the boarding because on the day our dog was originally scheduled to be boarded a man called us and asked us where we were and if we were coming. I explained to him that I had called the other week to cancel and he asked who I spoke with. I told him it was a woman and he just gave a "oh, ok." and hung up. The woman who called me today to cancel our boarding appointment gave me this nonsense excuse that our dog was difficult the previous time boarded her there and that "the kids" had a hard time handling her. Excuse me, kids? This place uses high school minors and doesn't tell pet owners. I was under the impression that trained professionals would be handling my dog. Nope, they let untrained children handle them. So they lie about who's handling your animal and will then cancel your boarding last minute for spite because you previously cancelled and they screwed up their own schedule. Do yourself a favor and go someplace else. Lots of better boarding options in this area.
Fox Run is a great place to board your pet. They not only take dogs of all sizes but cats and other animals also even rabbits. Very family oriented.
Great place to leave your dogs for the day. The staff is awesome! They were able to accommodate our last minute request.
Wonderful staff, very accommodating (administering meds, extra play time, etc), the only place I bring my dog when I go away.
Took care of my wife's cat made her happy that they took care of him above and beyond for a cat that had to have shoots with every meal and a cat that is old and frail so we could go away
Place used to be awesome used to bring both my dogs there
