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.

Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
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.
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
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!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her 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!
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 $20 per visit, $22/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!
Great place for daycare or overnight stay for your dog. Splinter gets so excited when we turn onto the road and he sees the building. It is easy to see everyone there really loves dogs and Valeri, the business owner, is so nice and easy to work with. I feel confident my Splinter is happy and safe at Rover. Highly recommended!
Great place, good energy. Valeri was easy to talk to. She even took the time to send me a couple of pictures of my dog Hank with his new play pals. The look on Hank's face said it all. (Happy dog.) And speaking of Hank, he's been pestering me to let him say a few words about his stay at,"Send rover on over." Hi Hank here, I promised my mom I'd keep it short. But it will be tough because i have soo much to say. I really like this place. I have a new best pal, "Milo." He's everything you'd want in a friend. Fun, funny and spontaneous. He even looks like me After a hard morning of play we have naptime. Now, naptime is not something I usually look forward to but I actually welcomed it here. The people that work here are kind and friendly. And get this, we even get to bring our own bed and blanket for overnighters. How cool is that!? I give ,"Send rover on over" 5 plus tail wags.
This place is wonderful. They are very knowledgeable about dogs and provide a high quality experience.
If you have a fur baby and need day care, play dates, boarding or training Send Rover on Over is the place. I trust Valerie and staff with my heart. Her name is Molly. She has so much fun playing with the other pups and begins whinning as soon as we turn onto their road. I can't recommend it more highly.
My dog loves it here! Great supervision. Dogs are carefully assessed for temperament, and grouped with dogs with similar energy levels. No aversive methods used. My dog comes home tired but not exhausted.
Started bringing my Wesite weekly for daycare to socialize and we couldn't be happier. Valerie is so knowledgable , caring and truly an advocate for the dogs in her care. I felt she really knows her craft and watches out for all of the dogs, choosing what is best for them in different situations. My Westie is so happy now to go for her "day of play"..Next we will plan an overnight . I Know my dog will be in the best of hands..Highly recommend
Very happy to say that "Oliver" the groomer listen to what I wanted. He nailed it. Schnauzer cut all the way. Valeri is easy to talk to, she worked with me on my time. I have a new grooming family. Woohoo.
Very insightful related to dogs, dog care, breeds, disposition etc. Training and socialization are core part of the system and they are In touch and in tune the individual dog. We were pleasantly surprised that Becca correctly identified the dog's breed which had excaped us. She served as the advocate for the dog and his interest: we could not have asked for anything more. All the dog's in daycare seemed happy and content.
My dog got kennel cough her because Val goes on the 'HONOR SYSTEM" when it comes to checking pet vaccines. Been boarding and going to classes with my sogs for 25 years and this has never happened. Very unprofessional.
Had "Signature" waygu burger. Hooked to perfection. If you want medium rare, order medium. Margaritas made with fresh ingredients. Can hardly wait to try their ribs.
After boarding my little yorkie in kennels all around the area and always picking him up sick with kennel cough, or even a hurt leg, and taking weeks for him to unstress, I was very skeptical of everywhere. Just seemed no good solution for leaving him anywhere. I was referred to Christy, and was still skeptical until I met her and saw her place! She is so nice and her place is really clean and dog friendly! You can tell right away how great she is with dogs. She kept him for 10 days, and sent daily pictures and updates. I felt really good about where he was and how he was being treated. I picked him up and he was so healthy, happy and even bathed! So nice to be able to know I don't have to stress about going away anymore and what I will do with Max! Thank you so much Christy, you're a gem!
My two pups Bella and Bode just love Christina's pet care. They didn't want to leave when I came back to pick them up! I know they are in loving, caring hands when I drop off at Christina's. My highest recommendation !!!
Christina is fantastic! She took care of our large, energetic puppy, Charlie, for 8 days. This was my first time boarding a pet, so I had concerns. But Christina eased all of those right away. She was very quick to respond to my inquiry and asked all the right questions to learn about our puppy. While we were away, Christina sent pictures, videos and updates daily. She even made homemade food to add to Charlie's kibbles! Upon pick up, I could tell Charlie felt very comfortable with Christina and had had a great stay. She is the only boarder I will call next time we have a need.
This is Molly my puppy who spent 3 nights at Christina's pet sitting. Molly made new friends and enjoyed her time. Christina sent pictures every day of activities that Molly was involved in with other dogs and cats as the picture shows. I highly recommend Home Away From Home if you need a caring person to take care of your pet.
At first I was a bit apprehensive leaving my beloved dog with someone I did not know. However, upon meeting Christina and seeing the way she treats her own dogs and how clean her house is I felt very comfortable leaving him there for a few days. Christna is great and treated my dog extremely well. She sent pictures a few times every day and I could see that my dog was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Home away from home Christina pet sitting. Everything was great!
I highly recommend Home Away from Home, Christina's Pet Sitting and I would give her 10 stars if I could. Right away when I contacted Christina I could tell that she was very professional and cares a great deal about animals. Before my Mia came for the weekend we arranged for a meet and greet to make sure my dog would get along with her pets. Luckily, all went well. Mia had a great time at Christinas and she sent me daily pictures and updates which I truly appreciated. The name of her business accurately describes that it is a "home away from home" for your pet.
Our dog needed a sitter for one night at short notice. Christina was super flexible and helpful. It was the first time in our dog's life to spend a night without us. At 5 months old, he and Christina did a great job. The next day we picked him up safely. He was a little intimidated, but that was certainly due to the unfamiliar situation. Payment was made in advance. Everything went smoothly and in a friendly manner. If we need a dog sitter again, we turn to Christine.
Need someone to watch your animal while you are away? Want someone who will care for your dog just like you would? Want your dog to stay in a clean home with someone who loves animals? Christina is the person you need! Christina took excellent care of my dog while we were on a 3 week vacation. She loved him, walked him, made him homemade dog biscuits, and texted us daily with pics and told us how their day went. Don't take your dog to a kennel, take them to Christina and know that your loved one is safe and happy while you are away.
I am a travel, nurse and work long hours at the hospital. I’m usually gone for 13 hours at a time, and am always needing a place to take my puppy when I work. Christina’s house has truly become my dog”s home away from home! Driving to Christina‘s house on a work day is what my puppy’s, Juniper favorite thing! She jumps into the car and wiggles all the way there. Juniper runs straight from the car to the door and rushes through the door when it’s opened!. If she could turn around and say to me how much she loves it here I think she would. But how happy she looks says it all!!!!
I have a 100 lb German Shepard and I left him with Christina for two days. The whole process was as easy as it could possibly be and I was very pleased with her service. My dog (no, not a child, it’s a dog 🤦♂️) was very happy. She even sent me photos and a couple of short videos to put me at ease, and I never asked for that. Her rate is very favorable and I will, without a doubt, only use her to dog-sit from here on out.
I have so much praise for my experience training with Sarah at IDTE. I am now able to have more fun with my dog because of what I've learned and I still marvel regularly at how much I didn't know. Sarah has an intuition with animals that is beyond compare. I had done research on dog training and watched lots of Youtube videos but, hanging out with my dog and talking to Sarah is like have a translator with you in a foreign country. Suddenly behaviors have meaning and I know how to respond. I have had so many aha! moments with her explaining to me what my dogs motivation is and how I can communicate what I want from him to him. Also the property at IDTE has a network of walking trails which is a really great bonus. To be able to utilize hiking trails with no worries of random dogs is a great way to accustom your puppy to the outdoors.
I highly recommend Sarah! My husband and I adopted a Doberman Pincher who had some issues and she showed us the tools we needed to help correct his behavior and he is by far the best dog besides my late doggie who passed 4 years ago. Cinch is a amazing dog and with Sarah's help and guidance he became the perfect family dog for us.
Sarah Thompson has worked miracles with my dog. I adopted a shy lab from a local shelter who needed a lot of expert help. With Sarah's expertise, our dog is blossoming into a wonderful treasure to our family. Sarah has advanced awareness of dog psychology and shares fascinating insights while effectively shaping desirable dog behaviors. I'd still love to get to her weekend group classes now and learn more techniques. I'd highly recommend her programs.
Highly highly highly recommend. I have been meaning to write this review for over a year but I get overwhelmed with just how much Sarah and her teachings have impacted my life and shaped how I relate to dogs. I did a board and train program, one on one lessons at her facility, one on one lessons in public locations, attended in-public group lessons at the hardware store, and on Sundays attended her play group sessions (highly highly recommend). Sarah is the real deal. She cares with all of her being and her knowledge and experience are *mind blown emoji*. As a client, you have to understand that you have to show up, put in the work, and be consistent at home and you WILL see results. Sarah will support you and teach you everything she knows! She has a way of explaining things that is relatable, easy to understand, and allows things to just "click". I could have sat there and listened to her talk all things dog for hours! Sarah has guided me through navigating a reactive dog, a fearful shutdown dog, and a top ranking dog (all seperate). She is quick to communicate, and even after moving out of state she *still* spends so much time responding to all my dog training questions, being a continuous pillar of support in my journey with dog training and understanding them. I could cry I am so grateful. Sarah, thank you.
They are training me,my dog is way smart,it's me that's the problem, but they help me the first day! Night and day difference, we have a year old Rottweiler that got labeled vicious, anyway they are perfect,reward ,pleasure treatment type training,and they care about my dog being ok,mentally and physically, and very patient with me,I am kind of set in my ways ,66 years of my way,wasn't working,there way is,highly recommended
Amazing people the classes and training are amazing and easy to follow! They train and shape your dog and it's behaviors to suit your family and needs!
Solid and dedicated professional services. The dogs are taken care of with all possible considerations and love.
Great instructor who takes excellent care of puppies boarded with her.
Sarah is absolutely wonderful and excellent with our puppy.
Very helpful. Help with pet problem
Kathleen is amazing! We have brought our dog Jenny to Woodys several times. It's very comforting to know the care and love provided for our furry best friend when we are on a vacation. Woodys kennel is kept clean and is a safe place for your pet to stay. It is Jenny's 🐾 vacation spot. We receive texts and photos while on vacation. Very cool place and highly recommended!!!
This is the second time i take my 2 dogs to Kathleen, she is great and was extremely helpful giving me directions to her place. The kennels are very clean and well kept both my doggies loved it there.
More of a personal reference, Kathleen at Woody Dog Boarding was the breeder for our dog, Emma, who is quite possibly my favorite being in the world of all time-- is 14.5 years and still going. An extremely good dog , a German Shepherd, a real athlete and Kathleen is responsible for bringing her into the world. Thank you Kathleen!
My dogs home away from home..he loves it there!!
Hi Lachelle, We have not heard from you in quite a while. Please let us know how you and your fury friends are doing.
The place was clean and heated when I dropped my pooch off! It was in the same condition when I picked her up as well! Dana was very pleasant and thorough in explaining how things ran for my pooches stay there! I am very happy l found this place. My pooch was in good hands.
I have a lot of anxiety about leaving all my critters when I go out of town but I don't when I have Good Dogs to rely on. They are so thorough and so many times have gone above and beyond the call of duty. I can get updates from them to hear how it's going, which is very reassuring. They are responsible and trustworthy and I would highly recommend them to take care of any type of animal!
Good Dogs has been a life saver for drop in pet sitting. I have 2 dogs, and they are our babies, so I would not trust them to anyone. Scheduling services is easy, the team are great, communication is excellent, and I have always felt my pups were in good hands.
Was more than happy with Good Dogs! Dog Inky really liked being taken for walks by Brigid. Arrived on time every day - even brought the mail in!
My pups love Bridget and get so excited when her car pulls in the driveway. Highly recommend her.
I keep Brigid and Good Dogs Pet Sitting on speed-dial. Wouldn't let anyone else care for my greyhound.
Very happy with Brigid and team. Took care of our dog, Indi, and let us vacation with peace of mind.
Greatest pet sitters ever!
Thank you Orion! We enjoy caring for Hannah.
They took great care of my zoo while I was out of town. My dog & cat loved them and it was a great relief to not have to worry about them during my trip. We had some miscommunication about dates (probably my fault!) and they immediately responded and visited twice more than they had planned. Even left me a very nice welcome home flower and card. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
