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, $21/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!
I can't say enough about what a great job/service Leana provides in taking care of our dog Max when we are away. It doesn't matter if we are gone for only a day or a couple of weeks she is always there to walk, feed, care, and stay overnight with Max. I would definitely classify her as a wonderful dog whisperer. Will continue to have her care for and watch over our Max. I give the highest of recommendations for taking care of your furry family member(s).
Leana was the perfect petsitter for Luca, our small miniature poodle. She responded to all inquiries promptly and even rearranged her plans in order to help us out! She let us know that she was going to be 10 minutes late because of heavy Friday evening traffic (which was not a problem at all), and she was completely responsible. Luca immediately recognized that she was a "dog person" and took to her at once. We re-engaged her for a few days later. She is absolutely trustworthy, and we recommend her highly. She is a dedicated and serious professional about her work!
Leana did a great job of taking care of my 11 month old Aussie/Doberman rescue named Stella last week. It was easy to book space with Leana and her price is very reasonable. I have already booked another two nights later this month. Highly recommend!
Leana did a wonderful job taking care of our family cat, Rocky. Rocky is used to being outdoors, and Leana knew just the way to keep him entertained and engaged inside while we were away, so we didn't have to worry. Her friendly and warm demeanor helped us feel confident that our Rocky would be in good hands.
I was so happy to find Mary and PamperPet. I know when I go away my 4 cats will be well cared for as well as my home. She truly loves animals and will go out of her way to make sure they get the best care. She keeps in touch sending photos of the cats and leaves detailed notes so I know just what they were up to! She is so kind, professional and lovely to work with! One of the best pet sitters I have had.
Mary Scott (Pamper Pet) is hands down the best cat lover I ever hired to take care of my special beloved cat Chase for the last couple of years of his life. She was completely reliable, and she took care of him as if he were her very own. She even took care of him when he became terminally ill with kidney disease. Her billing system was prompt and accurate, and she left me notes daily on how he was doing and sent me texts and photos of him daily. He was always happier when I returned from a trip if he had been taken care of by Mary. She grew very fond of him, and she came over to help me on the morning when I had to take him to the vet for euthanasia. We both pampered him and soothed him; she took some treasured photos of me holding him, and we cried together. This prepared me for when my significant other came to take me to take me and Chase to the vet for the last time. I am deeply grateful for all that she did so well to help him, to love him, and to help me.
Finally, a pet care service that provides total peace of mind! We can't say enough about the quality of care Mary and her team at PamperPet provide. They are conscientious, caring and make us feel totally comfortable leaving our loved ones for either quick or extended trips. Love the text messages and photos we receive while we are away, and the very detailed diary of their visits when we return. Our two cats love them too! Highly recommend.
Jen was great! We made arrangements with the understanding plans might slightly change on my part. She was receptive as she was sitting other dogs but I was respectful of her time. We were in communication b4 meeting up and leading towards picking our babies up from her location. My two dogs took to her right off the bat, even though my female dog is typically very leery of strangers.They behaved as if they knew her for a long time. When we picked them up they happily ran towards us, but kept looking back at her. We could tell they enjoyed their time with her. I definitely recommend her and definitely will use her again if/when I find I’m in her area again. Thank you again Jen! 💐🐶 ❤️🐶
I am so happy I found Jen! Our dog is a rescue and can be very nervous and suffers from separation anxiety. Jen welcomed her with open arms and always goes above and beyond to accommodate her needs. Our dog absolutely loves her and I have zero worries when I leave her with Jen. Jen has also saved the day several times when we needed a last minute per sitter. She is kind and an animal lover. She also sends pics and updates which I love! I would recommend her to anyone with any type of dog.
I cannot say enough good things about Jen & her daughter, AZ. They were AMAZING!!! I was coming up to Santa Barbara for a wedding, and wanted to bring my fur babies along for the fun weekend. I found a pet friendly air bnb, but the rules were that I could not leave my dogs alone. Thank goodness for Jen! I was SO worried as I don't trust just anyone with my dogs. From the first time I called in and spoke to Jen, I could tell immediately that I really liked her. I was able to book her for both Friday & Saturday night for wedding festivities. Jen, who is fully insured, showed up early to meet "the girls". My two shy Italian greyhounds instantly fell in love with her (they usually take a while to warm up to strangers). This made me feel SO comfortable to leave them. She truly has a way with animals! Jen sent me photos throughout the night, which was great! I had the pleasure of meeting Jen's daughter the following night, who was equally as sweet and just as good with animals. The girls loved her too! Jen & AZ saved my weekend. They made my trip that much better!!! I cannot thank them enough! I highly recommend Jen's services. She is extremely professional, kind, funny, and an all around good person. My dogs loved her & AZ! Thank you Jen & AZ for making my life that much sweeter! I will def be recommending you to anyone and everyone I know that's planning a trip up to SB that needs a pet sitter.
Best dog sitter we have had for years. We travel a lot and at times need a sitter in the hotels the be with our schnauzer. She is getting old and needs TLC. Jen is amazing friendly and most of all I could tell she loves animal's and they love her. Do not hesitate to hire her for your pet. You and your pet will be very glad. Dubby

Thank you Wasim! 💗🐾 …
Not a client, false review
I don't know who this is, no matching email or client name?
I never heard back from the owner so it makes me wonder if they are still in business? They have a nice website!
Terrible experience doing business with the owner. She gets irate and unreasonable. Avoid!!
Our Catahoula Tipper loves Ventura Dog Ranch! She absolutely loves it there and they take such good care of her. The staff is excellent. They are very attentive and always so kind. Tippper will be boarding in September, and I’m sure she can’t wait! Thanks Ventura Dog Ranch for taking in our girl and treating her with love. It means so much.
Ventura Dog Ranch is the only place we let take care of our dachshund Josie. After having several bad experiences at other local dog care and boarding, we trust Ventura Dog Ranch with the safety of our sweet fur baby. She always has fun and our minds are at ease. Can’t recommend Ventura Dog Ranch enough! - Jane Hatfield
We left the country for a weeklong destination wedding. After reading so many positive reviews, we decided to board our very high energy 1 year old German Shepherd at VDR. Although we missed him while we were gone, we were confident that he was in good hands. He was sure happy to see us when we returned but I could tell he was well taken care of. The staff is great. We got a full report. He was very happy. He got lots of playtime and lots of love. We’ll definitely be back. I highly recommend Ventura Dog Ranch.
Amazing staff who care for each of our dogs. They will notice any changes in behavior from day to day and share with us. Dogs always come back exhausted from all the great play. We take weekly and they love every moment!
LOVE LOVE LOVE I've been taking my dog Clover here for over 2.5 years for daycare, since she was about 8 months old. It was (and still is) great for socializing and she got exercise for over 6 hours. It has been an absolute life saver for us. Since we started, we've met a few of her siblings there from her moms second litter, that is so fun. She loves it and I love that. The staff is superb and the techs love the dogs. We've recently adopted a 10 year old dog who we've started to bring as well and of course she loves it too. I have recommended the dog ranch to at least 50 people since we started going and I know many of them still go as well. I
Ventura Dog Ranch always takes such good care of my dog! My dog is always so excited to go to daycare and is sad to leave. The staff is very attentive and I can tell they are observant of my dog’s personality. I also love to see pictures that they post on Instagram of the dogs playing. Can’t recommend enough!
Ventura Dog Ranch provides excellent care for all dogs. As a dog owner, I have complete peace of mind while I am on vacation with my dog boarding there. In fact my dog loves going there!!!! All employees are so committed to the dogs’ comfort and care, and the communication is excellent for reservations. I really can’t say enough about how great they are!
Ventura Dog Ranch is a fantastic spot for doggy daycare and boarding! The staff is incredibly friendly, always greeting Disco by name and making him feel at home. Their spacious outdoor play yards are perfect for Disco to roam and socialize, and I love seeing regular updates on their Instagram stories. It's clear Disco is having a blast during his stays. ☀️ 🐶 The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and secure, giving me peace of mind when I'm away. Whether for daycare or overnight boarding, I know Disco is in excellent hands with their attentive staff. Highly recommend!
They take the best care of my dogs! I have 2 high energy pups and taking them to the Ranch a couple days a week has upgraded my life and the dogs life’s a ton! The dogs can socialize and burn out their energy while i’m at work so we can relax and enjoy our night. Staff is wonderful!
I live in Santa Barbara, but bring my dog down to Ventura Dog Ranch as I think it is better than all the places up here. They are easy to work with, always happy to see Ivy when I drop her off. And share about all the friends she made. It is a great place to board or day care!
