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.

It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
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
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.
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
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.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Cat and Paul sat for me in December and kept a watchful eye on my trusty sidekick Jake. All I can say is my gosh what a great job they did giving Jake a lot of TLC. He obviously missed them since he wandered around our home looking for them after their departure. My home was left in the exact same condition and they did a great job of communicating with me during my trip, letting me know exactly how Jake was getting along. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of my home and showing Jake a great time. I hope that during the coming year they will volunteer to do another sit for me. If you need any other specifics about how awesome a sitter Cat is please feel free to call or email me and I will be more than happy to give you more details. Hope you have an opportunity in the future to use them as house and pet sitters! Regards! Edward
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 $ 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!
I truly can not say enough about Hounds Town Matawan! Coming to HT has been so beneficial for our dog Ollie. He can get his energy out, exercise, and even has doggie best buds now! The people who work there truly care about the dogs that go there, and you really feel that. We are very attached to our dog and I always feel like he is in safe hands when we drop him off. I can tell he truly loves going there and loves the staff. Miranda, sam and of course Natalie (and her amazing baths!) are all rockstars! Don't think twice about taking your dog here you wont regret it! <3
If I could give them 10 stars, I would. This place is great. Every employee clearly knows dogs and loves dogs. It's always clean and smells good. It's really a great place. Most telling of all is how my dog reacts to coming here. She pretty much pulls me in from the parking lot, her tail wagging all the way. They are great! I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Great job to the whole staff!
This place is amazing the staff is treats you like their own and treat your fur babies like their own. They are so welcoming that it make me feel so safe letting my baby girl play there. It’s always clean and my girl Casey always pulls me to go in. Best dog day care ever. They don’t care what size or breed or behavior issues your dog has they will treat the same. My dog used to not be able to play with other dogs now she does thanks to this amazing staff❤️❤️
This is the best place that we ever boarded our dog. We already tried 3 others in the past and this place by far the best. The people we encountered there were so nice and professional. They were very attentive to our needs and worries. Place is very clean. They let our dog play with like tempered dogs and my dog was picked up by us and found clean and well taken care of. We strongly recommend boarding your dog here worry free.
I started taking my pup to HT to play with dogs his own age and size, and was pleasantly surprised how much he loved to be there. He is smiling and happy from the moment he gets there and is greeted by his human friends, then goes to play with his doggy friends. He also gets great spa baths and smells delicious when coming home. As a two year old pup, he has lots of energy to burn, and when he gets home, he eats dinner and tries to resist the "hounds town hangover" but all the exercise and playtime usually takes over and he is ready for bedtime. Even my older dog and grand-dog also became "townies". - We absolutely LOVE Hounds Town as well as all the staff, such sweet and caring humans! Bring your pup!
Walking in I did not know what to expect. Walking out I had a smile from ear to ear. Totally professional and caring. Needed to find a place for my dog to stay. Was having work done at my house. They contacted my vet for me to see if his shots were up to date. What business really goes out of there way for you today. Thank you Hound Town.
My 3 year old rescue is usually very nervous around new people making it difficult to find the right boarding place for her. I spoke with one of the managers, Shauntae, and she assured me that my Nugget would be well cared for. I was allowed to bring my dog to the facility so she could familiarize herself with the new place and meet the staff. I was skeptical at first but her first day was a success! The managers and owners listened to my concerns allowing me to feel comfortable leaving her for a few hours during the opening weekend.
This place has been absolutely amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly and loving towards the dogs, very clean environment, and my dog always comes home so happy! Lots of pictures, videos, and updates posted throughout the day too :)
My pit honey LOVES this place!! They post a bunch of pictures and videos throughout the day, and keep us updated on how she’s doing. She’s usually nervous with new people but she loved all of the staff right away❤️ she comes home superrrr tired and ready to sleep for days!
Hounds town is absolutely amazing!! My dog loves it here and is always excited to come and make new friends 🩵 …
What a wonderful pet sitting service! Dawn does all of the little things and takes the time to make me feel like my cat is the only pet she sits. She sometimes brings children from her family. My cat loves that If you have a cat don't hesitate to hire Dawns Pet Care.
If you are looking for a place for your pups to feel like home and for someone to love and care for them close to what you do, then you’ve found it with Dawn! My pups boarded for a week with her(the longest they’ve ever been away from us) and they came home happy and healthy and clearly loved! Dawn and her associate David are knowledgeable, professional, thoughtful, and truly dog whisperers. Upon meeting both of them my pups were instantly calm and snuggled up to them as if they were family. Dawn provided me with updates and pictures while we were away, and I could always see that they were happy, which made me feel at ease. I feel blessed to have found Dawn and David, and even though we are moving close to an hour away, I will be traveling to bring my pups to her if we go away again. Thank you Dawn and David for diligent care of my fur babies! You are truly so special!
Dawn has been caring for Brody for the past year or so. I am extremely grateful knowing he is treated like family when he is in her care. She is extremely professional and keeps me updated with photos and progress notes. I know Brody will be happy, healthy and well cared for while in Dawns care.
Dawn has been a blessing for our Dozer. She is very reliable and our pup absolutley loves her. When he is with her I get frequent updates, pictures, and video and I have piece of mind that he is being treated like family. I highly recommend her, she is knowledgeable, friendly, great with the dogs and professional. Over all I am so grateful that we found her.
Dawn has been such a blessing to our Cedric & Cleo. I highly recommend her , she has baby sat our dogs on several occasions & even took care of Cleo for a week and half after a major surgery. Dawn sends multiple updates throughout the day with photos. We are so grateful for her & the puppies love her!
I am writing to recommend Dawn for any cat or other pet sitting position. Dawn took care of our cat Nemo for 3 weeks while we were in Italy and we returned to find Nemo happy and healthy. Dawn provided daily updates with photos and made sure that Nemo was visited 2 times a day and spent extra time on each visit. Dawn's love for cats is evident in the way she cared for Nemo, and her dedication to her responsibilities as a cat sitter is commendable. Dawn is a trustworthy and reliable individual, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate cat sitter.
There is nothing Dawns pet care service won’t do for our little furry friends! By far the number 1 best pet care service . Our cannoli loves her visits and walks with this company and loves it even more when she has sleep over vacations!!!! Do not know what we would do without dawns pet care service!
If you love your dog or cat and are going away, Dawn's Pet Service will give you peace of mind. She takes care of them like her own and sends you constant pictures. If you are local, Dawn will stop by your place to walk your dog or feed your cat. I trust her with my fur babies.
Dawn is my dogs second mom. Both teddy and I cannot say enough about her. She is dependable and caring. 110% recommend her services.
I have been using Dawn for my 3 big crazy hyper dogs for nearly a year now intermittently for trips etc. last year she really helped me out very last minute when I had a death in the family and needed to travel across country without warning and on a holiday week! I was so thankful and appreciative to have such a flexible/understanding/caring Pet sitter to make it work at all costs even if it was a lot to add on her plate! I love the photo and text updates and my pups come home happy and exercised so I don’t ever have to worry when I am away. I also have 2 intact males who need to always be seperate and Dawn does a phenomenal job with that tricky situation which again eases my worries! Thank you Dawn!
If I could give Who Let The Dogs Out eleven stars, I would! They came through in a pinch, and took incredible care of our dogs when we went on vacation. I was able to relax and truly enjoy myself, knowing my dogs were in excellent hands - as evidenced by the regular photos I received from each visit! I will definitely use them again!!
We Let The Dogs Out came highly recommend to us from a close friend. I had an exceptional experience with these guys. They took care of our Della like she was their own. I would recommend everyone without any second thoughts and I will absolutely use them again!
Lynn and her team have been wonderful with our new puppy Luna. She genuinely cares for our girl. She is reliable, send pictures, videos, and updates so we know our puppy is taken care of. Highly recommend !!!
We Let The Dogs Out - were wonderful and came on short notice to take care of my pups for 2 days. Highly recommended Thank you for taking care of my fur babies.
Such a great experience!!! 🐶 …
Best Care is is just what it is! We took my Sadie there twice while we went on vacation! Jasmine is a true animal lover and my pup loves her back. More than a sitter, they actually play with her, walk her and entertain her. I can go away with peace of mind know my little girl is being well cared for. They make it like a home away from home and more. They are so good with updating us on how and what she is doing, even sending me videos and photos. I can’t say enough about the care my girl gets when she’s there! I highly recommend them for your pet sitting needs!
We met Jazmin through a referral and let’s just say I am so happy my fiance and I found her!!! She is the absolute best. We got updates (pictures and videos) multiple times a day. The boys were in perfect care!! Jazmin is very thorough and caring our boys did not want to leave! I will definitely be using Jazmin to board our doggies from now on! Thank you so much!
I used Best Care Pet Services for our trip to Jamaica, since we have 2 senior dogs that would do better in a home, rather than a boarding facility. They were fantastic! My babies were not only well taken care of, they were also loved. I received updates and photos regularly, which helped put my mind at ease, while away. When you're obsessed with your pets, like I am with my dogs, this service is a MUST. I can travel, and know my babies are happy and safe.
I have used their services several times I’m comfortable and worry free when boarding Leo (dog). Jasmin is a very detailed and an animal loving person. While on vacation we would receive updates and pictures. This is the only place I trust to leave Leo it took my husband and I some time to find a place thats suitable for us Leo he loves it there.
Jasmine took such great care of our Luna girl for the day. Our 8 month old pup was clearly comfortable with her as evidenced by the pics. With frequent updates and pics throughout the day, I felt I didn’t have to worry at all about her care. Highly recommend!
I had an exceptional experience with Best Care Pet Service for my dog, Milo. Their commitment to keeping me updated was impressive, providing regular photos and videos that showed Milo thriving and happy. It was incredibly reassuring to see him so well cared for. The team treated Milo with such warmth and affection, as if he were their own pet. Their genuine love for animals was evident in every interaction, and their attentive care made me feel confident and stress-free while I was away. I highly recommend Best Care Pet Service to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet care provider.
Jazmin was AWESOME! Top notch care...Your mind will be at ease knowing she's taking care of your pet. She took care of my kitty group and they loved her. I was updated with photos and videos. She really gives 100% and I highly recommend her. I now have her on my speed dial. Thanks Aunt Jazmin....
To be honest, I'm very surprised that I haven't yet left a review. I am 100% comfortable leaving even for extended periods of time, knowing that my cats are well taken care of. I stand behind this pet care service with no reservations at all!
Mizani took excellent care of my two cats on multiple occasions for 3- 4 day trips. My cat lucas who is skeptical and scared of people had no issue warming up to her. Once we got back, the apartment was clean and organized. We are very happy with the service and will continue reaching out when needed. Ty 🙌 …
Took amazing care of my dachshund! And he's excited to return the next time I go on vacation.
Giselle and Tori took amazing care of Charlie while we were away on vacation. We were nervous to leave her, but Giselle was so wonderful with updating us and providing plenty of photos of Charlie through the week. Charlie warmed up to her right away and is always happy to see her. She is always on time and even accommodated a last minute drop in request. Looking forward to more visits. Thank you! 🐾
Giselle is caring and considerate of the needs of our Rottie Dakota. She needs special care and takes time to warm up to people. She always remembers Giselle no matter how much time has gone by. We trust Giselle and Dakota loves her. When we go away or have a day we are not around Giselle shows up and is able to give Dakota the medication she needs and the love and care she deserves. She always takes pictures, gives treats, and leaves a note on how the visit went. We don’t need to worry. We definitely recommend her.
We are very grateful that we met Giselle. When we first met her she made us feel at ease. We have 4 dogs ranging in age from 1.5 years old to 15 years old. We also have a 3 year old pineapple conure who can be quite sassy. One of our dogs was traumatized as a puppy and we have always been cautious who gets to meet him because he is so nervous. Giselle is calm and supportive and has made our nervous guy very comfortable. He is also on a very specific diet due to allergies and she makes sure he only gets safe treats and food. We have a 15 year old puggle that is blind and going deaf. Giselle makes sure that she is always part of the group and not left out. She provides great specialized care to her. She is wonderful with our Rottweiler puppy who can be challenging at times. She always makes sure the rules are followed. This past weekend Giselle witnessed our 5 year old pug having a seizure. She immediately took action to comfort him and contacted us with great detail describing the seizure which was beneficial for us to inform our vet on his visit. Giselle always makes sure she takes the time to interact with our pineapple conure giving him some treats and scratches on the head. She also let's him climb onto her shoulder which he loves. When we made the decision to find a pet sitter we were very nervous. Giselle made us feel at ease right away. When she walked into our home the first time our fur babies were comfortable with her immediately. We especially appreciate the detailed descriptions that she sends us for every visit. She sends pictures of the kids as well a specific details of the visit. She let's us know things like how they were acting, what they played with and what treats they had Giselle did not disappoint she has provided superior care we highly recommend her service.
I highly recommend With Love Pet Care, LLC. I can’t say enough good things about this company. When we got our puppy, I didn’t know where to start with a dog walker. Giselle’s got right back to me and came for a meet and greet. From the start, I felt very comfortable and so did my pup! Benjamin is in great hands with Giselle. Giselle and Kelsey had so much patience with Benjamin and even provided me tips on how to better work with him after a bad experience at the groomer. He goes for a great walk with Giselle and she always plays with him in yard for some extra engagement. When they come he is so excited for his walk. One of the best things about With Love Pet Care, is the amazing communication. After every walk, I get a detailed explanation of how it went along with some adorable pictures. Anyone looking for a Dog Walker reach out to Giselle today.
highly recommend Giselle and her team! they have been extremely helpful with our new pup Lola since we first got her. they always provide great updates and photos from her walk, and do an excellent job of taking care of her when they are with her!
We booked daily at-home visits for our cat and 2 Holland Lop bunnies. Giselle and Kelsea visited us a few weeks prior to the first booking, and asked all the right questions. The Walkies app that they use is great. I can check appointment dates and invoices, track when the sitters begin their visit, and follow the care taken for each of them. We looked forward to the daily pictures Giselle and Kelsea would send! Our cat is extremely shy, and even he came out every day to say hello to them. We've already booked With Love Pet Care again for our next vacation; we know our babies will be in good hands.
Giselle and Kelsea were awesome with our two German Shepherds! They did overnight stays and daily drop in visits and were sure to provide updates and tons of adorable pictures all week. Reya is on medication/a strict diet and Maui is a textbook GSD full of energy so we were so happy for them to be in such good hands while we were away. Thank you With Love Pet Care!
Bruno really loves his daily walks! I'm so happy I found With Love Pet Care, they are reliable and dependable and so great with my boy. I definitely recommend using them, I have used other walkers and they are by far the best!
This was my first time leaving my pups home alone and not boarding them somewhere while my family and I go away on vacation. I am so happy we meet Giselle and decided to leave our boys home. Giselle took such good care of Max and Harvey and always kept me updated on how they were doing. We were able to go away and not worry wither they were ok or not. She always sent pictures and in every photo you can see how happy they were. Thank you Giselle for taking such great care of my dogs. They will definitely being seeing you again.
I can't say enough good things about Giselle! Not only is she always punctual, but she also showers my puppies with love and attention during their walks. They come back home happy and tired, which is a testament to the great care she provides. I get picture updates which makes me feel super comfortable trusting Giselle with my babies. Plus, her thoughtful gesture of giving them treats shows just how much she cares about their well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog walker!
Our pups love Parkwood Kennels. We have taken our dogs twice already and are booking again soon. The individual kennels with indoor and outdoor space are great, especially if you have a dog who doesn’t play well with ours, like one of mine. Patti is so sweet and just loves our babies to pieces! The drop off and pick up hours are limited so you will have to flexible, but for our pups it’s worth it:)
I boarded my small dog here a few years back, and the prices were reasonable. He came back filthy but happy. Unfortunately, I don't think I would return for business since they have put up a large Trump banner across the fence on the main road. It's certainly their right, but it communicates to me that supporting their business also means supporting contributions to things that deeply violate my personal values.
Not my personal experience but a very upsetting recount of events from someone I am extremely close to. A beautiful big dog was treated poorly. The luxurious pup stay the baby was to receive was replaced with solitary confinement and minimal contact with other dogs as well as staff members. The poor thing lost a bunch of weight in a matter of days and isn’t the same as when they were dropped off. There’s no reason to treat a wingless angel this way. ESPECIALLY when the owner is the kind to bring the pup everywhere except where they can’t. They trust kennel workers to treat their children like their own at drop off. Please do better to have sensitivity training for the dogs you guys assume will be too hard to deal with.
Kaelyn is so kind and caring, the only person I trust with my rescued pup for all her grooming needs (especially her nails since she is not a fan of getting her nails trimmed). So happy to have found an amazing groomer!
Parkwood Kennels was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our 2 dogs recently while we were on vacation. Very friendly, clean kennel. Affordable price. Definitely recommend them. 5 stars all the way!
Parkwood Kennels is the only place I trust with our dog. The team is care givers go above and beyond to make sure our dog is comfortable while we are traveling. The kennels are clean. My dogs need are met. My phone calls are always answered. I highly recommend Parkwood to anyone in need of a home away from home for your pups.
Always friendly...and very good service, my Pancho is treated with care. Thank you all!!
They are excellent!! They take great care of my dogs!
Great place for your pet when you need to get away. They take good care of my Pancho and he always comes back home happy and smelling great. Thank you Parkwood.
My dog always stays here when we go away. Very friendly, clearly loves animals.
Can’t say enough good things!! My puppy Sugar Gurl is 8 months old and has a lot of energy. Just went on vacation and needed doggie day care daily. Maggie’s is absolutely perfect!! My dog was so excited the second we got to the house and was sad to leave. The prices are reasonable and Maggie is so friendly. I get pictures and videos throughout the day, and communication her is fantastic. Maggie also has extensive impressive credentials. Highly recommend!! I know it can be sad leaving your pet with someone but it’s easier when you know they’re happy to be there! Love them!!
My dog Mamba loves going to Maggie's and spending time with her and all his friends! Maggie is great with my dog who is very high energy. I trust her with him and feel at ease when she is watching him when I am away. Last week was his birthday and I sent him to Maggie's for the day, and she took photos of him for me wearing the cutest birthday hat and gave him a goodie bag with lots of treats. Every time I pull up to Maggie's house, my dog is super excited and can't wait to go inside. Highly recommend!
I cannot say enough positive things about Maggie!! She’s fantastic with all kinds of dogs (I have a blue nose pit). She treats all the dogs with the individual attention they need. She’s professional, responsive and reliable. Maggie’s did an initial interview with our pup to make sure he mixes well, which I appreciated. My fur kid sees Maggie 1-2x/a week for daycare. We’ve also used Maggie’s boarding services when my husband and I have traveled, and Boston feels right at home. Maggie has been our sitter over a year, and I highly recommend you trust her with your fur baby!
Maggie is amazing! Being a new dog mom I had a lot of anxiety leaving our puppy for the first time during a family vacation. I knew from our meet and greet with Maggie our puppy would be in great hands. Maggie is extremely organized, knowledgeable, professional and loving to her pups! She has thought of everything! Boarding was so simple and stress free with her. We received updates while away and Maggie even did a little Easter photo shoot with our puppy. We will definitely be using Maggie again for our next vacation!
We can’t rave enough about our stay. Our boys are polar opposite brothers & had wonderful care during their stay. Dino is a 130lb Bernese Mountain Dog & TeddyBear is a 40lb Keeshond both came home happy & by the updates & photos from Maggie life was good while we were gone. Just knowing that they were in good hands made our VaCa more enjoyable! We will most definitely be spending more time here! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We picked Maggie's Doggie Care based on her wonderful reviews. Our Max is a 10+ y/o bulldog and based on his age and knowing he would be happier in home we decided to use her Pet Sitting Service. We were not disappointed at all! Maggie was super with Max, she not just feed and let him out... she gave him his meds 3 times a day, watered my garden plants, brought in the mail, took the garbage out on garbage day, texted & sent pics everyday we were on vacation. AND she took care of all Max's oopsie's (he's a messy old man :) ). When we returned there was a detailed journal of everything she & Max did while we were away. Never again will I ever use another pet service. She was amazing and we were extremely happy with the job she did.
My dog was well taken care of while there the first time; the second time she had apparently rolled around in excrement and was attempted to be bathed or sprayed clean to no avail. Nothing was said to us, but we bathed her as soon as we got her home and I didn’t complain. However, this business is severely lacking in responses to phone calls and text messages. As a repeat customer for the third time, our travel plans changed and I accepted that I would lose my fully paid $280 boarding fee, but I never received a “thanks for understanding our policy” response, or any acknowledgement of payment or cancellation. In spite of this, I reached out about rescheduling, but never received a response. Since my dog’s pictures were used to promote the business, it feels a little like theft. A response would have been nice…and maybe a $10 discount on a future stay. After generous tipping and bringing back gifts from our trip, it’s a reasonable expectation if you know how to run a business. Highly overrated.
Maggie is top notch! She is a true professional and highly compassionate. She took such great care of our miniature dachshund (sweet but extremely shy) for my wedding weekend and gave me updates/kept me looped in. When I came to pick her up, she was completely fine and settled right back in when we got home. I honestly felt safe trusting my baby girl with her and will be bringing her back! I highly recommend her - she’s an expert and the best!!
I feel so fortunate to have found Maggie to take care of my 2 pups. Both of them require medication and one had severe anxiety and could not be left alone when I first got her. I explained everything to Maggie and she had no problems with taking care of them. Well that was 3 years ago and I’ve been using Maggie’s boarding and daycare services since then. If you want your pups to be treated to the same environment that they are in when they are at home then Maggie is your girl. I highly recommend Maggie Doggie Daycare.
We HIGHLY recommend Maggie and her doggie care services! She has looked after our 3 year old pitbull ever since he was a puppy and treats him like one of her pack. He gets his own vacation at Maggie’s home whenever we go out of town – he loves playing in the yard all day with the other dogs and then relaxing with Maggie at night. She is reliable and responsive and is extremely flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We love getting text updates and pictures while we are away! When our dog was still recovering from ACL surgery, Maggie was very mindful of his limitations. She made sure he never ‘overdid it’ and happily accommodated his need for ‘alone time’. Maggie clearly prioritizes the well-being of all her dogs. A few months ago there was a lost dog in our neighborhood and Maggie was KEY in reuniting the pup with his family. I asked her to just be on the lookout, but she went above and beyond by posting on social media and directing us to other sites which led to sightings … and ultimately to the reunion! We trust our dog with Maggie and are lucky to have found her, especially as many kennels in the area won’t even accept pitbulls. Don’t hesitate – book with Maggie and your dog will thank you for it!
We have been using The Scruffy Puppy for the last several years. I cannot say enough how happy we are ! Christina and team are absolutely wonderful and take excellent care of our fur babies. They have been there for us not only for daily visits but also when we've had family emergencies or needed help last minute. We know our dogs will be not only taken care of but they will also be loved. The entire team is the best!
We've been using scruffy puppy weekly for about 6 months and it's been awesome for us and our pup! The dog walkers are all great with our dog and send us nice pics of him and are genuinely really kind, both to him and us. They've also been able to handle last minute requests, which is super helpful. Would 100% recommend Christina and her team
I was lucky enough to find Christina about a year ago when I moved to this area. Everything about the Scruffy Puppy is professional and caring - from the meet and greets with the dog walkers/sitters ahead to time, to the excellent communication when services are both requested and completed. Over the last year we have had many walks and two long weekends of overnights, and I have been consistently happy with the level of care, love, and attention that my two dogs have gotten from Christina and her team. My dogs both have health issues, and our walkers/sitters are wonderful about giving the medicines, and dealing with some quirky doggy habits. I recommend the Scruffy Puppy 100% - you will be so happy to have peace of mind knowing that your furry family is well taken care of.
We used SP for the first time for our 14 year old dog while on vacation and it couldn’t have worked out better. Maria came on schedule and even did the overnight stay for 1 night. Her updates and pictures on the portal were perfect to keep us informed. Will def use Christina and team again. Very responsive and easy to work with.
The Scruffy Puppy is a well run, pet loving, professional but personal business. They know how to care for pets in their charge, but more importantly, they clearly love animals. Susan was my dog walker and she always went above and beyond. I never had to ask and honestly, sometimes Inthought she was a mind reader!! She’s a dog expert and a dog whisperer. She also taught me things about my dogs that I was so grateful for. And I thought I had nothing left to learn! You cannot ever go wrong with The Scruffy Puppy!!
We had plans for a weekend away and were going to leave our dog with a family member. When that person became unable to take care of Lucy, we made a last-minute call to Scruffy Puppy. Christina was super responsive, replying to my initial late email at midnight with a positive response and a promise to call the next day. We filled out the user profile form in the meantime, which was very thorough and seemed to consider every possibility. We did connect early the next morning. Christina was sympathetic, professional, capable, and reassuring, and told us she would be able to accommodate this last-minute request with one of their best walkers, Erin. Erin truly was that--coming over to the house after 8 PM to accommodate our late arrival, and assuring us by her manner that she was truly a dog person and a good human. Erin was punctual and communicative and took excellent care of our girl. This was a fantastic experience start to finish. We wholeheartedly recommend Scruffy Puppy.
Christina and her team are truly amazing. They are professional, responsive, trustworthy, and so kind and loving to my pup. I trust them implicitly and cannot say enough good things about them. I consider myself (and my pup) truly lucky to know them and we are so grateful for them. I say with total honesty that I do not know what I would do without them. TRULY THE BEST and would recommend them to everyone.
Lindsay and Dave were amazing. We booked a spring break vacation, but couldn’t get boarding for our 2 Cavalier King Charles puppies. Glad we found out about this service. Our dogs had a wonderful time (an entire week). We loved the photos we received, and Max and Marlee almost didn’t want to come home with us :-). We will definitely bring them back. I feel much more comfortable leaving our pups with them, than a pet boarding place. No comparison.
We love Scruffy Puppy! We are repeat customers. Most recently our little dog Bentley stayed with one of Christina's associates, Dave and his family. Bentley was the only dog in their care which Bentley prefers. Dave sent us pictures or video everyday to keep us at ease. When we picked Bentley up, he was excited to see us, but didn't want to leave! He certainly enjoyed all of the attention he received. We will definitely request Dave the next time we need to leave Bentley for a few days.
Scruffy Pupppy is the best sitter, walker service. I love them. Our sitter Lauren and Tom took care of 3 Huskies. And they were so happy
First and foremost, I'd like to thank Stacey for doing such a great job taking great care of our 4 small dogs while we were on vacation. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs. Her personal care was evident in the updates that she sent us. Our experience with Darlene was exceptional and we will certainly be using her service again and again. This was our first time leaving our dogs in the care of a sitting service and the truth is that at first the idea made me a little nervous. After reading all the great testimonials, speaking with Darling, and later meeting with Maryann and Stacey, I was put at ease. Darlene runs a very efficient business with great people with big hearts. Wonderful experience. Highly recommend.
Aunt Darlene's Pet Sitting Services are worth every penny! My Husband and I travel 1-3 times a year and always leave our Cat in the trusted hands of Aunt Darlene and her Team! We appreciated their in-depth, in-person consult before our first booking as new clients two years ago, followed by easy and reliable email confirmations for all our future bookings. We love coming home to a happy Cat, a tidied home, and notes letting us know how each visit went. Aunt Darlene and her Team truly love Animals amd treat their Client's Pets like their own. They have even recommended a Vet that we love, healthy food and treats to try for our Cat's health needs, and how to place toys around the house to keep our Cat active. We know this is a business, but we always feel like we are leaving our Pet with Family. Worth every penny.
We have used Aunt Darlene several times over many years to watch our 2 cats. Always very pleased with her service. We just called on her again last week. Our cats are both approaching 18 yrs-old and it was a comfort knowing they would be in good hands. Once again it was obvious she made our cats feel safe and secure. I've joked with others that we're not sure who's happier to see Aunt Darlene, us or our cats. It's also a comfort for us to know someone will be watching our place while we're away. She took in our mail and turned lights on and off. She even watered our plants and flowers without being asked. In fact, we had shut the water outside so she had to improvise. She found a container in the kitchen and walked several trips outside to get them water each day in the brutal heat. Above and beyond. If you're looking for someone to care for your pets and hold down the fort while you're away, I recommend you give Darlene a call. You, and your pets, will be glad you did.
We are extremely happy with our experience with Aunt Darlene's. Darlene and our dog walker (Lori) provided excellent care for the 5 plus years we lived in New Jersey. Besides being responsible and reliable, they were very accommodating to our last minute changes and additions. Our dog walker Lori helped us immensely during our time of need. During Noah's bout with cancer, Lori went above and beyond the call of duty to give a multitude of medications and the personal care he needed. Even after he was gone, she was supportive and helped us with the grieving process. She was gentle and kind with our dogs, and we trust her without question. Along with having one dog with cancer, she took care of our difficult dog Storm at the same time. Storm has issues with aggression and anxiety and Lori and Darlene handled her with patience and affection. Additionally, they were careful to follow all the crazy particulars and rules we had. Having two dominant dogs, they needed to be walked separately and have no physical interaction. There were a number of accommodations we needed, and Darlene and Lori were happy to oblige. We will be forever grateful for their service and only wish we could bring them with us to our new location!
Absolutely love Aunt Darlene's pet sitting service for my cat Charlie!! We have been using this service specifically Maryann for over a year now. We have used them about 3 times so far and they deliver the best care for my cat and are trustworthy! Charlie loves Maryann and she takes the time to not only feed him but play with him and water my plants too :). We already are scheduled again to use them in April and I would recommend them to anyone who is in need of a reliable, loving pet sitting service. I refuse to bring my cat to be boarded and I know he would not get the care that he gets from Maryann :)
Before I found "Aunt Darlene" we had looked at kennels and dog hotels in Central NJ area. We would rather cancel our plans for holidays than leave our dog in any of those places. I found Darlene through Google search engine and was very impressed with their services and what people say about their experiences. I contacted Darlene and we went to meet Lola's "foster family". I was very relieved to see their house. It was ideal for my dog (cage free, plenty of space to room, nice and big outdoor area etc.) So, our Lola, 9 m.o. basset hound, stayed with Erin and Gino for 4 days on Christmas and 2 days on New Year's Eve. Such a nice and caring people! I could easily tell that Lola was in good hands while we were away. We will use their services again as long as Lola shall live! Happy and proud to be a part of "Aunt Darlene" family! Best wishes to all of you in New 2015 Year! Thanks, Tanya and Alex.
We used Aunt Darlene's for 5 days this week. Stacey Blumberg did a great job taking care of our 2 dogs. She fed them, gave them their medications and gave us daily updates on how they were doing. We are very happy with the care Stacey gave them and will definitely use her and Aunt Darlene's again!
Aunt Darlene's is the most caring and loving sitting service I have ever used. I have been using their services for over 10 years. They care about your pets and make sure everything is done in your house to perfection. I have 7 cats which is not easy and I come home and my house looks cleaner then when I leave! Do not hesitate to trust and invite them into your home. They are 100 percent reliable and caring.
We have used Aunt Darlene’s since 2008. We had previously kenneled our dogs when we went away. Suddenly, one of our new rescues developed health issues that could not be handled well in a kennel. We called Darlene and have never looked back. For the past nearly 10 years we have been able to count on them to take excellent care of our dogs while we were away. Because of the health issues of the one dog we opted for care in our home with visits throughout the day.Whether away on an extended vacation or just an after work event that kept us from getting home until late, it has been a tremendous relief to have no worries about what was going on at home. You can absolutely trust them every step of the way.
Aunt Darlene's Pet Sitting took care of my baby girl for 11 days. They treated her as if she were part of the family. We have used her petting services for a few years and all her pet sitters are great! I highly recommend using them!! Thank you for taking such good care of Valentine!
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Dog Days! Ryan and his team have been so attentive and caring to our 10 yr old chihuahua mix, Marcel (and is blind in 1 eye) who needs a little extra TLC! Marcel quickly warmed up to Ryan and Val and loves his midday walks with them. Knowing that they are coming by while at work puts us at ease on a daily basis!!
Ryan and his crew at Dog Days NJ are an excellent and caring group of individuals. We have used Dog Days NJ for years and they are phenomenal to our dogs and to us. They have always accommodated us even at the last minute. Ryan even reached out to us several times to see how we were doing when our senior dog passed away. They have a great system for scheduling visits, letting you know how the visit went and they even include pictures. If you want someone who is extremely reliable and loves animals, then going with Dog Days, NJ is the best way to go.
I don't normally trust anyone with my dog, but the moment my dog (Howie) and I met Ryan I was completely at ease. Ryan walked Howie recently for about a week while I was traveling and my boyfriend was working. Ryan is awesome and took great care of Howie. It was so great to see the pics and notes after their walks just to know everything went OK. My anxiety about leaving Howie was completely gone. I highly recommend Ryan and his team!
Working with Ryan has been an incredible experience. We started working with Ryan due to family inability to help dog sit out two timid dogs and after spending $1500 to board our dogs (and I felt uncomfortable the entire time) we began looking for at home dog sitting. Our two shelter dogs do not do well with boarding and we know they do best staying at home.. By luck, me met Ryan and started working with him in June for long weekends away and in August for a long week. We have never felt more reassured leaving our dogs at home. Our two dogs can be reserved towards people they don’t know and require medications which is a lot to manage. My two dogs immediately welcomed him and didn’t even bark when he came in. They loved him from first pet. Ryan manages there care and needs seamlessly. Ryan always has amazing communication letting us know how our boys are doing. We love the picture updates. Ryan has continued to go above and beyond our expectations. In June while he was dog sitting, our storm door blew off and he quickly let us know so that we could make arrangements for it to be fixed. He also always accommodates any other issues even squeezing us in sometimes when travel plans change or a quick weekend away pops up. It’s nice to know that while we aren’t home they are loved and comfortable. We will for sure continue to use Ryan. We thank him tremendously for meeting our needs and our dogs love him!!
I would highly recommend Dog Days NJ for your pet sitting needs. I have been using them for over a year. From the minute I requested a meeting, Ryan has been so responsive. When I request a visit, the responsiveness has been immediate and the answer is always yes. Ryan is so kind, trustworthy, and loves his work!. Immediately after every visit, I get an update on my cats with a photo. The pricing is very reasonable, particularly for the peace of mind I have knowing my cats are cared for when I'm away. Recently, I ran into some travel delays and Ryan was able to accommodate an extra, unscheduled visit. Again, an immediate ( about an hour) response to my request. I can't say enough positive things about this company! You know your pets are safe and well cared for with this team!!
We've been using Ryan and Dog Days NJ for numerous years and cannot recommend them enough. We use them for in home dog sitting while we are out of town, and they've always taken awesome care of our dog, Burton. Burton was recently diagnosed with diabetes and Ryan didn't blink when I mentioned he would need to give Burton insulin twice a day. We couldn't ask for a better dog walker/sitter!
Absolutely love Ryan and Dog Days. My German shepherd can definitely be a handful at times but Ryan and his crew have handle him perfectly. Such an amazing crew with loads of experience. Love the daily updates and photos. Would highly recommend!!!
Michaela was fantastic. First time using the cat watching service. It was great did not have to leave George at the vet where he is extremely unhappy!! Each day I received an update ad pictures of George. Thank you Dog Days!!!! Highly recommend them and will definitely use them going forward!!!
My family and I are so happy to have met Dog Days! Our Australian Labradoodle LOVES when they visit and I can 100 % trust them in my home to Carie for him during the week while we work. That to me is everything. Thank you Dog Days for all your help during the week! It takes a village! Beni is one happy pup!!!!
I am so happy to have found Dog Days NJ! Ryan and his team are so incredible. I recently went away on a short vacation and between the pictures and little message updates throughout the day, I did not worry a bit about my dog. It was such a relief to know she was in great hands, happy and content the whole time I was away. I definitely recommend Dog Days NJ and plan to use them again in the future.
