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.

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
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!
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!
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!
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
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!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their 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 them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were 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 Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make 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 of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. 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. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
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!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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, $29/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!
Planet Doggy is a wonderful boarding home. They kindly accommodated my two pups last minute when I was in a jam to find care for a week. They sent me a video of our pups while I was away, and my dogs returned home very happy. I’ve already booked our next boarding dates. Thank you Planet Doggy!
This is the best doggy daycare/ boarding I've taken my pup Prince Dior to. He gets so excited when I mention the words daycare, and believe me I've tried other places before and no other place compares. I usually board him around the holidays and I always get a cute festive picture of my Prince Dior. Fabiola is always so accommodable and her team is awesome. I highly recommend the place for your pup!
Brought our dogs Acorn and Gidget to Planet Doggy and things went smooth. No problems and no hassles, easy to drop off and pick up. Would recommend!
We are so thankful for Planet Doggy! Having a place that our dog loves to go to for daycare and boarding is a godsent for us. We never have to worry! Everyone is so accommodating and kind... Thank you to Planet Doggy for loving our dog like your own!
I bring my black lab Brady to daycare here. He loves going everyday. I am here for a short term because I am a travel nurse and the staff worked with me to get my dog into daycare everyday I work! Staff is very friendly when I drop off and pick Brady up. He also smells good after daycare and the facility is very clean. Brady plays all day and sleeps when I get home and these pictures are him after daycare which is a nice relief after working 12 hours. I recommended this to any dog parents looking for daycare in the area! :)
I've been nervous about finding the right dog day care for my 10lb, sometimes shy pup, Houdini. I'd taken him to a few other centers for temperament tests and he left horrified. Planet Doggy was the opposite. Every morning Houdini is excited when we get to the gate. He loves Fabiola and staff. Their instagram (@planetdoggydaycare ) shows happy dogs and engaging activities. Attached is a picture of Houdini and the mother's day gift he came home with from day care <3. I feel blessed to have Planet Doggy and could not recommend more strongly!
My "Kids" love Planet Doggy. I have been going there for years. Fabiola and her staff truly care about the dogs. I know they will come home happy and safe. I have used them for boarding and doggy day care.
The crew at Planet Doggy is simply the best. From the moment we met Fabiola, we knew our dog Stevie would thrive in this environment. She took the time to understand our dog's needs and provided a safe, comfortable space for boarding. Planet Doggy is unique in a few ways: the space is a converted bungalow with indoor/outdoor spaces. It is setup to accommodate both group play and solo spaces (important for our dog). The crew invests time and resources for games, puzzles, and other enrichment exercises. Planet Doggy's policy caps the amount of dogs much lower than other daycare/boarding places, meaning all dogs get the individual attention that doggy parents hope for. This place provides a HUGE improvement to our lifestyle compared to previous places we have taken our dog. We now have peace of mind to drop Stevie off for a day, weekend, or week with this lovely crew. Kudos to the Planet Doggy team!
Our family loves Planet Doggy, we have boarded our dog Maverick with them many times since he was 6 months old and he is always so excited when we get there. He is a very social husky so we love that he has a space to play with other dogs instead of being locked up by himself. They always take wonderful care of him. I would definitely recommend it!
I have been a long time customer with Planet Doggy, since 2008. I started with the previous owner and this is my 2nd dog at Planet Doggy. I couldn’t be happier with new ownership. Owner Fabiola and staff member Toni do a great job watching the dogs and making sure they all get along. I also love that they offer grooming, it’s top notch. My dog is brushed out weekly and bathed every 3 weeks. So nice to have the daycare AND grooming for my dog in one location. It’s a great place, They truly care about your dog and you.
My dog, Penny, loves K9 Loft. She is always so happy to run in to daycare in the mornings. The staff is very friendly and efficient. Morning drop-off is quick and easy. I love how they great my dog by name! It is so nice to know Penny is well cared for and happy when I’m at work! K9 Loft is great!!!
I had a daycare appointment. The day before, I asked them to verify all the documents and ensure my dog had all the required vaccines. They said they would call if there were any issues. I never received a call, so I showed up the next day. …
my fat chiwennie with separation anxiety tried out a non aesthetic dental cleaning at this place! 🪥 …
