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.

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.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
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!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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, $20/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!
Well managed, extremely clean and staff is well trained and friendly. My dog grew up in multiple daycare environments and when he comes home from PETiculars he is clean, doesn't smell, and isn't stressed out. You can tell he's well cared for, and has been given individual care and played with. The cost is straight forward with no hidden fees and I love that there are a clear number of staff to dog ratios that makes me feel safe dropping off my dog and know he's being watched closely and not getting lost in a mix. Every holiday it feels like there are adorable "school pictures" shared, and every time I pick my dog up I get a personalized and detailed update on how he did that day from a staff member. If something new is going on, customers are updated by management, and I feel everything is very upfront, straightforward and transparent. Highly recommended!
PETiculars is an amazing daycare for dogs. It is very clean, never overcrowded and the staff is always friendly. There is plenty of space so that dogs with different levels of energy can each do their own thing. Amber enjoys relaxing on a cot in the sunshine while other dogs are running around and having too much fun! Pictures and videos of the dogs are posted throughout the day. Boarding and nail trims are also available.
Best staff!! They treat my pup like family! Very accommodating. 10/10 recommend!
This day care center is excellent! 5 stars across the board, from the owner/operator who goes to the greatest lengths to make sure the dogs are happy, safe, clean, and taken care of from a-z. It is a meticulous, cheery place with an outstanding owner. Can't say enough great things, after many years of experience with the owner...excellent all around.
I took my pup Tobie there many times and he loved it..Last visit was in 2020... I was so glad to see that this business is still doing well..
We love Peticulars The staff is caring and pleasant The facility is accommodating and clean The feedback is always prompt and in detail Always a smile Maggie is happy there
Clean facility. Some of the best staff. Pups are treated like family. Highly recommend.
If you are planning to do dog daycare in Cape Cod during summertime- make sure you reserve a spot few months before. It is a lesson for me to learned. One of my dogs have separate anxiety. It has been stressful for me to leave him home alone. Lucky, I found Peticulars. Owner showed me around their cute daycare first. Workers are so friendly and welcoming. They are very communicative. My level of stress went down to 0%. They spoke highly of my dogs. It’s like they pay attention to my dogs. Also, one of them were able to trim my Teddy’s nails with no problem. My local daycare in my hometown couldn’t do this. Highly recommend! I will be back when I am back to Cape Cod. Thank you!
I spend a lot of time on the Cape with my daughter and grand kids. Our dog is a rescue and we take him everywhere with us. But I needed a place to leave him on days when it is too hot or cold for the car: a place I trusted, a place where he would be properly and well taken care of. I found that place at PETiculars. I called them one morning, went over within the hour to tour the place, and was able to leave my dog that same afternoon for a few hours. He loved it there. And he came home happy and tired. The staff were friendly and informative. They clearly knew dogs. I recommend PETiculars highly. Of course, I'd rather keep them a secret so I can be sure of an open spot for my pup! It is a small facility, so call ahead. These guys are so good, they will become very popular. Prices were very reasonable. One drawback, they don't do overnights right now. Thanks for taking such good care of Sebastian!
We absolutely love Peticulars! Pups (Chloe - a 14 lb. Yorkie and Chaz - a 84 lb Doodle) love coming to play! They don't look back once they go through the doors and guaranteed to be exhausted when they come home! The staff are loving and caring and owner, Linda, is the best! I trust the pups here cause they treat them like our fur babies, with love and care! Highly recommend!
Training at Howl-a-Day. This is the last thing I want to do. But I feel compelled to write this review to save even just one person from spending way too much money on a subpar training experience. I was quoted a price—in person by Matt, the owner—of $1400.00 for 10 training sessions. After 6 sessions, I was told that they would not be providing any more lessons because I opted not to use e-collars. I had told Matt on day one that I wasn’t sure about using e-collars on my dogs. He assured me that he could still train without the e-collars, but that it might just take a little longer to get them there. On the day of our sixth training, his employee told me we were done, then followed me to my car to get the e-collars back. I was shocked! I reached out to Matt, upset and confused, only to be told that he would not be doing further training with us because we weren’t using e-collars. For $1400.00 my dogs learned basic puppy-class skills: sit, down, stay, heal, and come. I could have learned this for free on YouTube, or for a fraction of the cost at a puppy training class at Pet Smart! My dogs already knew sit, come, and down before I ever took a class. Matt has promised me a refund, but months have passed and no refund has been given. He has told me I was threatening him because I told him I felt obligated to write a review. He lied to me about what he told me on day one. He also had me sign paperwork that was not filled in at the bottom. He later used that paperwork against me after he filled it in to fit his narrative. I questioned his integrity which really upset him. But honestly, who would pay $1400.00 with little to no results?! My advice, and what I learned through this experience is, get everything in writing! Take pictures of everything you sign! Don’t trust blindly. And do more research. Had I asked around, I would have never gone to Matt for training. This is your sign to make a better choice for yourself, your dog, and your wallet! He doesn’t care about you or your dog. He only cares about the money!
I adopted a 2 year old dog from Aruba. They are highly intelligent and very observant. My Ellie was a challenge and I wasn't sure I did the right thing by saying yes, I'll take her. Howladay came to the rescue. They are a great group of people who know what they're doing. Once a week I went with Ellie for her Miss Manners training. Each time I pulled into the parking lot she became very excited and couldn't wait to get started with the next class. It was definitely the positive energy and we both felt it.
Our Boston Terrier, Lucy was boarded with Howl a Day for the last two weekends. She was great when we picked her up. A little tired but healthy and happy. We are happy to have Howl a Day available for day care or boarding when needed. They do a great job and take good care of pets in their care. Thank you.
Lynn and Matt are the kindest owners. I work and have four kids and really needed doggie daycare for my energetic puppy Millie. Once carefully checking her vaccines and an evaluation they determined she could join the other dogs, and she had a fantastic time. I can’t recommended this Diamond on the Cape enough to dog owners more highly. I wish there were 100 stars!
Matt and the trainers at Trainer K-9 are A+. They did an amazing job transforming our shy and skiddish dog, Willow, into a confident pup. Willow was so fearful of loud noises, people, dogs barking, and the general noises of living in the city. After 3 weeks of boarding school, she came back way more confident. Though she still gets fearful at times, we now know how to handle those instances and she is trusting us more. We’re now able to go on walks and to places we never could before! The best part is Willow is still her silly self, just smarter and less fearful. She continues to improve each day and we appreciate the follow up training sessions to keep us on target!
The team here is absolutely incredible, you can tell they run a well-oiled machine and take care of the dogs so we’ll. We boarded our 3 dogs last weekend and asked if they would be able to send us a few pictures and they were happy to oblige. Dogs came home pooped and happy. We’ll be using their services again during our next trip to Cape Cod 😄
Tried these folks recently for boarding. Place is clean, well run, etc. Rate is $100 a day for my 2 dogs to board. Dropped them Friday at 4PM, picked up 1155 AM Sunday. Received a quick lecture on making sure I am there by noon for pickup, which I was. Then told I owed another $65 on top of the $200 I already paid. Charge was for day care? Asked if they were there less than 48 hours, why the extra. Was told if I dropped at 8AM on Friday and picked up by 11AM Sunday (51 hours of their time) it would only be $200. Because I picked up after 11AM (44 hours of their time) I had to pay extra. That math doesn't add up.
Always comfortable leaving my small dog Murphy at the Holiday inn, they did not disappoint this time as well. They were there to greet him and very happy to see him, they led him away from me nicely and with his confidence in their ability to take care of him. I did not worry about his well-being while I was away for 4 days. Very happy to see him and well taken care of during his trip. I would recommend them wholeheartedly
Best place for your dog to be when they can't be with you. Hands down best care you can get for your furry family member.
We needed to board our dog for a week whilst we were on the Cape, and were so happy with Howladay Inn. Our dog loved it, got taken well care of and overall, had a super time.
best dog sitter ever. i really appreciate that i chose her. my dog Nacho was obsessed with her and every time was happy to see her. definitely trust her with my dog, and will, and recommend you all call her if you going on vacation and don’t have someone to sit with dogs , she is great for it . Appreciate you Hanna, you are the best
I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Hanna provided while looking after my dog. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a natural affinity for animals. My dog Kenny instantly felt comfortable and happy, and I received regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend Hanna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Hanna is reliable, flexible, and responsive. She takes great care of our dog Enzo. We are lucky to have found her and so work with her regularly. Enzo loves his time with Hanna!
We’re so happy with the care our dog receives from Barnstable Dog Care. Our pup always comes home happy and well-exercised. The updates and photos they send give us peace of mind, knowing our dog is in great hands. We highly recommend Barnstable Dog Care for anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!
Hana is nothing short of a miracle. We are so thankful to have found her for extended days away. The dogs did great.
Thank you for sitting with my baby Lola , while i was in New York. Definitely will recommend you to my friends. Got such a great experience
Watched my puppy for me last minute on short notice and helped me out so much! Please Book! Thank you so much again!!
Thank you Evenel✌️
