Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
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!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
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!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
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!
Playful Paws is one of the most magical places you could take your dogs, and I could not recommend a visit enough! Our Labrador absolutely adores it and gets to fully burn off his energy with his best friends. We get feedback on his day and see photos of what he gets up to. The staff are friendly, attentive and nothing is too much when it comes to your dogs. Our dog used to get too excited on walks when meeting other dogs (he wants to be everyone’s friend) but since visiting PP, he is calmer, much easier to walk, and less overexcited at the site of any other walkers/dogs. He is more calm at home and means he still gets a good bit of exercise in on those busy days when it’s hard to get the time to give them a decent walk! Reasonably priced with block sessions available also! Definitely give them a try!
We had a funeral in Inverness and had difficulties finding care for our two dogs at short notice. Phone call to Playful Paws and it was sorted. Took the dogs along and was very impressed by their set up. Good inside and outside facilities and while I was there there was 1 member of staff to 3 dogs. The real above and beyond service was delivering the dogs back to our hotel. Very tired which was a great sign of the day they had. Will recommend this place to anyone staying in, or visiting Inverness with dogs.
My spaniel pup goes to Playful Paws at least 3 times a week. She bounds in excitedly every morning, and comes homes tired and happy at night. Perfect for us both - don't know what I'd do without them!
Absolutely fantastic dog care here. My dogs had an absolute ball here today; playing with the other dogs and having a great time. I had no concerns whatsoever leaving my precious dogs with Tracie and she kept me updated throughout the day with texts, videos and photos. I would not hesitate to leave them in Tracie’s capable hands again. Thank you Tracie 😊👍🏻
My dogs attend playful paws and absolutely love it. They engage in different games everyday and are definitely much more sociable because of the interaction they receive. Highly recommend.
Fantastic facility with dedicated, knowledgeable staff. Henry loved every minute and we will be back In the future.
Super Doggy Daycare.....Phil and the team are very dedicated to caring for the Dogs. Very professional. Our Ollie loves going... and is always super tired when he gets home. Highly recommended. 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 …
Very happy puppy comes home each week and I could not manage work without this service; friendly and caring staff who know dogs well!
Put my dog to play full paws for Halloween party he had swollen a party balloon then 1rh later he was bitten by another dog he needed 14stitches.The staff where not supervising his group properly as this was shown on the CCTV.Iwould never recommend this company to anyone.And check your contract when you sign i was lucky they paid in full for his vet bills as they were at fault.
They do an amazing job with the dogs, highly recommend it 😀 …
I highly recommend Inverness Pet Care. I have used them for about 2 years now and I'm so happy with their service. Monte absolutely loves going out on his walks with Lyndsey and the gang. Her knowledge and experience with dogs is second to none and I feel totally confident that Monte is well looked after whilst in her care. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone!
Trustworthy and reliable dog walking service. My dog Ember looks like she has a great time on walks with Lindsey and she always updates me with pictures ect to let me know how Ember has got on. Would highly recommend Inverness Pet Care!
I can highly recommend "Inverness Pet Care" . Lyndsey looked after our dog for our two weeks holiday period, and even gave update texts as to how our pet was settling in. A very professional dog walking and home based pet care service we will certainly use again.
Jada was amazing. She cared for my senior dog with amazing compassion and kindness. Not only that, but she washed his blankets for him and even got my mail and took care of taking trash out on garabge day. As a single mother that saved and planned every detail for our vaction for a very long time, her services were extreamly well priced and having the daily updates allowed me to fully relax and enjoy my time away. I whole heartedly will reccomend Rainbow Mutt care, and be using her everytime i can!
A genuine person that loves what she does! Took the recommendation from a friend and Jada went above our expectations. She house sit for us and watched our 2 huskies and 2 cats. She even bought them extra toys and treats while we were gone. She also kept us updated with pictures and how the animals were doing. Can not recommend her enough!
Our favorite place for our spoiled dogs to stay!
