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
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
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!
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.
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!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks 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 €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!
Dianne Carr has always been an advocate of all animals as evidence of her involvement with the Humane Society’s in Georgetown, and Lexington for 2 decades . And would recommend that you consider her services for pet care in any Fashion!! Sincerely , Brian Mallory
Dianne took care of two dachshunds during my hospitalization and recovery and on several other occasions. She fed them, walked them, gave them their medicine and played with them. She made sure any accidents were cleaned up, bedding was clean and made sure fresh water was always available. She is very caring and responsible for the well-being of her own pets and takes great responsibility for the pets of others. If she makes a commitment, she will honor that explicitly.
Dianne is great with animals and is very trustworthy. No concerns about giving her access to our home.
Dianne is great with pets and treats your pet like it is her own.
Absolutely amazing!!! First time we’ve been away from our furbaby ever! We were so nervous but Jennifer sitting for Duke at home was so worth it! She made us feel at ease and Duke loved her too!!! Definitely will use her services again! I forgot to mention that she also fed to cats and gave Duke his meds. 😊 …
My experience was wonderful. My babies had a wonderful time. I know that I won't have a second thought leaving this again.
We were beyond pleased with our experience with Kat. Her property is perfect for boarding animals. The kennels are large and extremely clean with access to an outdoor area for play time. She doesn't just lock them up until they need to potty, she gets them out to play and actually spends time loving them while in her care. While we were on vacation, she updated us frequently and even sent pictures. It's obvious and admirable how very much Kat loves her job and every animal that passes through. We can't recommend her enough and will absolutely be using her again in the future!! Edited to add: Kat's daughter, Cassy, has joined in to offer grooming services. I've taken our dog Wrigley into her twice now and she's absolutely phenomenal. Having used more established and expensive groomers in the past, I wouldn't hesitate to take any of my animals to her in the future. The care and precision she puts into grooming the animals is only second to the love she shows them while in her care. Our dog doesn't come out smelling like he was doused with an entire spray bottle of perfume and shaking with nerves. He's actually clean, his coat is shiny and healthy, his nails look better than mine, and he's well at ease. I very highly recommend Cassy's grooming services. Her rates are extremely competitive and you know that you're getting top-notch service. More importantly, you know that your animal isn't just getting shampooed and trimmed, but also loved and treated like royalty. ❤️❤️❤️
I take my dogs here to board whenever I go out of state. I love this place. They are very flexible with last minute plans and try everything they can to help you out. They are super friendly not only with me, but with my dogs. My pups are always taken care of and they even send pictures and updates if I'm gone for a while. I recommend Kat's if you need to board your animals, as they're also very inexpensive!
They watched our mastiff for a full week while we went on vacation. They have extremely nice facility and send us pictures and kept us up to date. We will use them again!
The dogs looked great and they seemed to do great with their week long stay.
They went above and beyond taking care of our dog!!!!
Wonderful
OWNER: Bob Stevens PET: Finn FIRST STARTED: First month opened in Frankfort. I cannot recommend using Tin Woof Inn’s services enough. The owners and employees are all wonderful people and truly care about my pet and seeing to his needs. The owners and employees all have dogs and they will treat your dog like their own. My border collie, Finn, has been going to daycare at the Frankfort location since it opened 5 years ago. He is high energy and they have taken loving care of him. Finn comes home happy and is definitely more social from getting to play every day with other dogs. He is great around other dogs and people and I attribute that to the love and care he gets at Tin Woof Inn. They will take the time to get to know your dog and will match your dog with other dogs that are similar. They create play groups that allow your dog to socialize and not be overwhelmed. High energy dog-high energy groups. Low energy dog-then a slower paced group. They notice the individual personalities of the dogs and do an incredible job matching the dogs up to play together. I have also taken advantage of the training that has been offered by Tin Woof Inn. It is top notch and has wonderful trainers. It is nice to see the owners and employees also in the classes just like the rest of us. Finn has taken obedience and agility classes at Tin Woof Inn and the facilities are the best. Tin Woof Inn has been such a wonderful addition to the Frankfort community and a godsend to help Finn expend some energy, especially on days I may not be able to walk him or get him to the dog park because of obligations or weather. Tin Woof Inn is open rain or shine. I truly appreciate the care they give Finn, including washing him off on those days he gets particularly dirty from playing. It is little things like that, that lets me know they care. Finn gets so excited when I ask him if he wants to go visit and play. Normally, as a border collie, he is fixated with what I am doing. When I pull up to take him inside, it is the one time that he will ignore me and want to get to playing with the employees and other dogs. Tin Woof Inn offers a complete range of services and they would be and are the first place I go for daycare, training, grooming, boarding, and aqua therapy needs. I highly recommend if you have a dog (or a cat-since they offer services for cats also) to take them for a day to experience what Tin Woof Inn has to offer. Sincerely, Bob Stevens and Finn
Toby loves it there. As soon as we pull in the parking lot, his tail starts wagging. He enjoyed puppy training with Dog Wizard and we look forward to dog training soon. He loves all the staff, fellow boarding friends and the swimming pool. Peace of mind for us when we are out of town or just need a few hours of care.
So happy Tin Woof Inn exists!! Our 2 Black Lab Girls are beyond excited playing in the Pool. And we are thrilled that they have a place to get low impact exercise. The Staff is super helpful, accommodating and friendly and the Facility is kept immaculate. Update: still as good as my first comment, just LOVE this place 👍💖
We recently boarded our 5 pups during our two-week cross country trip. Our senior girls were not used to the boarding situation, and Kimberly, Mary, and crew made sure everyone was cared for exceptionally well. Our bigger pups stayed in a suite together and had an absolute ball! Our senior girls were treated like princesses. They even laundered our soft goods and had our totes ready to go. I can't say enough about the TWI Frankfort crew. I was so anxious about it, and they put me at ease. Even sent photos when I checked in for updates. Exceptional organization!
They don’t value your business. We boarded our dog for 17 days costing $800. We scheduled a grooming for the day we picked up and confirmed the day prior that the grooming would be done by 10am. We arrived for pick up at 10:10am to an extra $36 “daycare” fee. They explained that because we arrived after 10am (8 minutes after to be exact) their boarding policy allows this charge, seemingly unaware of the correspondence of the grooming appt. lasting until 10. They never even called and communicated our dog was ready for pick up earlier so why would we arrive before? I tried to address the unreasonable nature of the “daycare” fee with the manager Kimberly at time of payment and she was unwilling to discuss how this extra fee could be considered frivolous or unnecessary. She seemed to be more interested in making me feel like I was in the wrong for even questioning the situation. It seems some people would rather be right than respect their customers. If they don’t have compassion for their customers I don’t trust they have compassion for the animals they are responsible for.
Wonderful staff and awesome care for our dog. We love boarding there and also our dog’s grooming is always really great. Definitely recommend!
Used their boarding services 3 weeks ago. My dog had one of his ears split open, half of it ripped off. When I picked him up they didn’t mention anything about it. I didn't notice it until we got home. It’s not something that could’ve been missed he’s a white Maltese. He has stayed at other places for boarding and I’ve never had something like this happened. What a terrible boarding experience. Do not recommend!
Great place, friendly staff! My dogs always come back happy (and tired from all the playing)! I recommend this place for anyone needing to board their dogs!
I just want to say that this was by far one of the best experience i have ever had. My dog and I learned so much, I truly will miss everyone here Andrea and Steve were absolutely two of the best trainers I've had the pleasure of meeting and getting to work with, they exceeded my expectations and im amazed at how quick my dog learn from their techniques.Tin Woof inn has the most friendly staff that i have ever met. My dig loves them as do I. We are sad to be leaving and hope to be back someday.
My dogs have enjoyed going to Critter Cradle. They are worn out at the end of the day. Unfortunately we are moving away from the area. Wish I had found out about sooner! Great staff!
