Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
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.
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!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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, $24/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!
Ashley is thoughtful and professional. Our 3 year old yellow lab thoroughly enjoyed his 7 days/nights with Ashley! And, I appreciated the frequent texts and photos she sent daily. Ashley truly cares for your pet and knows how to communicate with the people! Will be back again. Highly recommend!
Ashley took great care of our 2 year old golden and 4 year old bernedoodle! She was a wonderful communicator and very thoughtful in taking care of things around the house as well.
We met Andrew a few yrs ago when we were in need of a last minute dog walker for an extended period. Andrew has been caring for Chloe ever since ! We esp appreciate him on cold winter mornings... Our family highly recommends Andrew and Front Range Pets. Andrew is also a very talented photographer! He’s been generous in sending us some awesome pics of our girl! Thanks Andrew.
I dropped my 2 year old pup off for his first ever professional groom. He got a Bath Brush nail trim and teeth clean. He came out looking super handsome with a tie not to mention how happy and excited he was. His nails were trimmed perfectly, Teeth looked way more white, less shedding and he smelled great. We will definitely be taking our pup back here!
If you have a high energy breed consider finding a different place. The hours they are out playing is 8 or 9 to 11 and then 1 to 3. My Brittany is reenergized by time I pick him up at 6. In addition, multiple times he has been in the kennel more than that because they have employees call out and they don’t have the enough employees to let all the dogs out at once.
I am very thankful for Bowhaus in Erie. Both of my dogs get so excited to visit! There is nothing better than feeling confident about where you leave your pups for the day or a trip! They have a large indoor and outdoor area. Also, I love their enrichments and holiday events! You cannot go wrong with taking your pup to Bowhaus.
Website in not compatible for booking although advertised. When I called the chick up front didn't even take down my information. She explained it was a very long process to get the dogs in and that the groomer was scheduled out until September....Receptionist convinced me to go elsewhere. Please reach out if you'd like to provide us services for two dogs. I have already created a profile for my dogs. Doubt I'll get a call. Horrible customer service.
LITERALLY THE BEST PLACE YOU CAN BRING YOUR DOG!!! I have brought my senior dogs here and my puppy. I wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff is super patient, kind, compassionate, caring, loving, and they have the BEST customer service. I have boarded my dogs and they love going. My puppy is learning to socialize and they are researching her breed to make sure she is successful. I am over the moon about BowHaus. I hope all employees get a significant raise. You have a forever customer. ❤️
This is the only place our pup PULLS to get INTO. Love the webcams and the ease of booking. Prices seem high to me but it’s not like you can find similar for less.
Bowhaus was able to accommodate a last minute walk in reservation for us! They provided pictures and a report card for the day. Our 11 month old pup had never been so tired. Highly recommend and definitely plan on letting Oliver join the pack! Live webcams are a plus also!
While I don't board my dog, we do use the grooming services here. Katelyn is the absolute best groomer around. We have been with her for years, followed her to 3 different places. She's the only one I'll trust with my labradoodle. She takes extra caution with his ears as he's prone to infections when they get wet. He loves going to see her.
All I know is that everyone at Bowhaus is very nice and my dog comes home happy from his visits. That's all that matters. Happy dog.... happy life. :)
Bowhaus is such an awesome place to take my little boy!! He is loved, and cared for by everyone. I appreciate that they take pictures of him when he is there and that I can see him playing with his friends on live video. The fact that they offer new and thoughtful ways to stimulate their senses and use every teachable moment to help them be better, is a bonus!! Thank you to all of you that make Bowhaus such an excellent place.
I have been using Fuzzy Paws for at least 15 years for my pet sitting needs. Tosha has taken great care of my various cats. My cat now is a real people cat and he gets lonely without a visit from her while we’re gone. She goes above and beyond taking care of my pets as well as picking up mail and watering plants.
I travel frequently for work, and Tosha has been taking care of my cats regularly for over a year. My cats have developed a relationship with her and are comfortable with her when she visits. She is as familiar to them as family. Tosha even sends me pics of the girls when she visits, which helps me know they’re safe and well when I am gone. I couldn’t do my job without Tosha’s valuables help. Fuzzy Paws gives me piece if mind. Thank you! Fuzzy Paws is an extremely professional, reliable, friendly company and I recommend them strongly.
Tosha did a fantastic job watching our little guinea pig while we were away! She was responsive and reliable and kept us updated with a daily photo. It was nice to know our little girl was in good hands. I highly recommend Fuzzy Paws Superior Pet Care and plan to use their services again soon!
Great sitter! Kept me informed with texts and pictures of our cat while we were gone. Gave our kitty extra love and attention and took care of our fish, too. I felt our pets were in good hands and I didn’t need to worry. Would definitely recommend!
We have been very happy with Tosha! She is great at communicating before & during our travel, which makes us able to fully enjoy our time away. Our cats love her and she takes amazing care of them. They not only get their basic food/litter needs met, but she spends time playing with them as well. We are so glad we found Fuzzy Paws!
Our two cats are in good hands with Tosha-We have used Fuzzy Paws multiple times now and are not disappointed. The communication is clear and we love receiving photos of our cats playing and being cared for while we are gone. It’s great to have someone you trust look after not only you pets but also your plants and home while you are gone and Fuzzy Paws does just that!
I reached out to Tosha shortly after moving to the Superior area. She was prompt and confident with her response. Very shortly thereafter I had an unexpected trip home for an unknown period of time (my dad died). Tosha was incredibly understanding and pounced into action to take care of my kitten until I had the space to return. Tosh is special in that she really cares about my kitten. I cannot recommend her more based on our communications regarding looking after my Layla bug during a really hard and unclear set of absences.
Tosha is fantastic, our cats loved seeing her when she visited and they were very happy and well-fed when we came home. We’ll certainly hire her again to watch our two cats when we’re out of town. She even left little Christmas treat bags for them!
Tosha has been walking my dog every day for almost a year now. She is very professional, very thoughtful, frequently updates me on how the walks are going, and most importantly, extremely reliable. I feel very confident in her caring for my dog and would definitely recommend her services to anyone needing their loved one taken care of!
Being new to the area and finding someone we could trust to take care of our kitties was a daunting task. But Tosha immediately put our minds at ease. She has a special gift with animals which came across the first time she visited. Our two cats both confidently approached her right away. You can expect excellent communication from Tosha, timely updates, and above all, she will take excellent care of your furry loved ones. Everything was perfectly in order when we returned, and we could tell our cats had been well cared for. We will be repeat customers for sure!
You will not find a more compassionate, thoughtful, intelligent, communicative, loving caretaker for your furry family members than Juliet. She is truly the best there is. We feel total peace of mind when Juliet cares for our cat and dog when we travel, and even though they are happy to see us when we return, we always say that they seem to be missing Juliet! If you’re looking for the best pet care in Boulder, or indeed anywhere, Boulder Pet Care is it.
Juliet is not only reliable and caring, she is also amazing with animals! My cat absolutely loves her, and I know when I go away he is very well cared for. Juliet really understands animals. She develops relationships with all the pets she cares for, and truly is passionate about what she does. I would recommend her services to anyone!
I have nothing but praise for the care Juliet and Boulder Pet Care has provided for my dog. I have a very high energy labradoodle, and as a professional I travel for work quite often. Juliet and her team has done overnight care for my dog and provided many walks and she's always timely, communicative and really easy to work with. Aside from the logistics, I know she genuinely cares for the pets, and my dog is truly loved by her which is priceless. He nearly jumps out of his skin when she shows up. Big recommend for all of you looking for the best pet care!
Even though Juliet is more experienced with dogs and cats than with birds, she was very willing to learn how to take good, gentle care of our parrot while we were gone on vacation. Our parrot is 26 years old and a bit set in her ways (stubborn!), but Juliet has managed to do a fabulous job with "our baby". I have no worries about our parrot's health and well-being under Juliet's care when we leave on any trip now.
I travel a lot and I know I can rely on Juliet to take care of my pets when I am gone. She is extremely reliable, takes good care of the animals, always gets in contact if there is even the slightest issue and she has great backup systems in place to make sure no matter what happens, my cats will be taken care of. Thanks Juliet!
This was great for my dogs. Juliet came by the house to meet them beforehand, made it very easy for me to drop them off, and took great care of them -- including texting me photos of their activities. The price was also very reasonable. I definitely recommend Boulder Pet Care for dog sitting!
This review addresses the house sitting service as the dog sitting/care was, like other reviewers have stated, good. We were not satisfied with the condition of our home upon returning from our trip as it was not cared for appropriately. Juliet, the owner of Boulder Pet Care was not helpful in resolving the issue. Will not recommend nor use this company in the future.
It’s such a relief when I go out of town to know Boulder Pet Care is taking care of my special cat Boots. They have excellent communication so I do not have any stress around the happiness and comfort of Boots. When I return from trips now he is the same as before I left. 😻 …
Juliet is as loving and devoted a pet sitter as you will find. Knowing her for more than ten years I can happily vouch for her integrity and her TLC with animals.
Boulder pet care have an amazing costumer service and is very professional!
Happy Hounds is what doggie daycare should be! The are attentive to the dogs needs and temperaments, and separate pups accordingly. I had never boarded a dog until I got my whippets. They are couch burritos and champion runners. HH reads them and gives them an awesome balance of exercise and down time. I trust them with my girls, while I am away! Thank you, Happy Hounds!
When the last doggie daycare I had used for many years closed, I was concerned that I would never find another place that I could trust and that provided structured playgroups rather than free-for-alls, like some other daycare places. Luckily, I happened to find Happy Hounds and both me and my pup could not be happier! I have been taking my pitty mix, Henry, to Happy Hounds for 2-3 years now - for daycare at least once a week and for longer boarding stays when I travel - and they consistently impress me. They take the time to understand each dog’s temperament and take a great deal of care in accommodating the needs of each dog. They adore my Henry and take excellent care of him every time he visits. We love HH and highly recommend them to anyone looking for doggie daycare/boarding. Thank you HH for taking such great care of Henry!
Absolutely my favorite doggy day care and I've been to several all over the state and country due to travel. I frequent here weekly and will always recommend them!!! Thank you happy hounds for making my dog so happy every day at daycare.
Our dog had to start going to doggie daycare when he was 10 months old. The apartment complex we were living in told us we had to get rid of our rescue pup because he was too loud when we weren't home. Happy Hounds made it possible for us to keep Percy because they watched him when we couldn't. He is now 12.5 years old and I credit his time with Happy Hounds as a huge part of the reason he stayed healthy and active for as long as he has! I am incredibly grateful to them for the care they have given our neurotic, rather antisocial pup!❤️
We love Happy Hounds, and so does our sweet puppers, Lucy. The only complaint that I have is that the location is now too far out of my drive from my new job to take her regularly. We've enrolled Lucy into a new daycare closer to work, but the quality of care and attention just doesn't compare to Happy Hounds. Our Lucy loves being around people, and the staff at Happy Hounds always made sure she was given love and attention. I would recommend sending your fur babies to Happy Hounds 😊
wonderful team of folks that you can rely on to keep your puppies entertained and happy during boarding. highly recommended!
We boarded our boy Huckleberry with Happy Hounds a few times over the last year when we were traveling. He was always happy and obviously well taken care of when we came to pick him up. The staff there is caring and sweet and were always excited to see him walk in. We unfortunately lost our boy to cancer recently and the team sent us the sweetest card and each of them wrote something about Huck in it. We will definitely be using Happy Hounds again when we welcome a new dog to our family.
I took my 5 month old Beagle here, she is very special as she has orthopedic issues with her back legs. The staff were very professional and friendly in accommodating her needs. At the end of the day they will give a report on how your dog did. The staff here show an amazing amount of love and care for your dog. Fantastic experience.
These folks are amazing. They really know and care for each dog's individual needs and both of my girls absolutely love the staff there. We sometimes get report cards or instagram photos and my two pups come home totally tuckered out.
Friendly staff and I can tell they love my fur babies like I do! My pups are always tuckered out when they come home from Happy Hounds, but hey, we aren’t complaining! Addie and Toby are always happy before and after their stay!
Cindy and her team are not just the best care we could find for our pets it’s the best service I’ve ever heard of. While we were out of the country one of our pets had an emergency situation and not only did Cindy’s team recognize immediately that something was wrong she solved the problem. If it were not for this amazing team our little Daisy may not be with us. If you need pet care while you’re away you will not find a better option.
We've been using VIPet's services for our last several trips out of town, and feel very happy to have found a sitter service who we trust completely with our home and our pets. We receive photos from the sitters at every visit, and you can tell the owner, Cindy, takes pride in providing dependable service from sitters who are true animal lovers. My only recommendation for the sitters would be to ensure that all overhead lights that were turned on during the visit, are turned off upon their departure.
Cindy and her crew have been taking great care of my Orion (cat) for over 2 years now and I would highly recommend them for any pet-sitting needs you have. At the end of every visit I get a text with photos and an update on how Orion is doing and that is very comforting. Solid, reliable, responsive….what more can you ask for? 5 stars for sure!
VIPet Sitters Services always come through with all needs. Cindy is a one of a kind gem! So thankful to have found them!
Incredible Pet sitting service, we have used VIPet a handful of times now with more upcoming. While getting set up for service they are very thorough in getting as much information as possible to ensure they can provide excellent service for your pet. Claudia, has been absolutely fantastic and has made our out of state travel stress free with frequent updates and detailed logs of her visits. Highly recommend and will be using again as long as I live in this area.
I have used VIPets several times for taking care of my senior cat and keeping my plants alive, both indoors and out, while I’ve been away for sometimes extended trips. The kindness and professionalism of everyone who has come has been exceptional. Getting daily texts and pictures helps me see how things are going and is reassuring. I have only one frustration and understand that it is being addressed. A couple of times there has been missed communication while setting up initial visits - I have sent emails that were not seen until days later, causing confusion and flurries of last minute texts or calls. This has happened on two separate trips months apart which is why I mention it. I believe that issue is supposed to be resolved in the upcoming weeks. I advise using text messages as the best way to communicate reliably. I’m definitely a repeat customer!
This was our first time using VIPet Sitting - or any pet sitting service - for our kitty Valkyrie and it was a wonderful experience! Cindy and her team took excellent care of our little lady while we were away and provided daily updates that really helped us feel better about leaving her home for a few days for the first time since we’ve adopted her. I would definitely recommend VIPet Sitting to anyone in the area looking for reliable, caring folks to look after their pets. We had a great experience and we’ll definitely be using VIPet Sitting again in the future!!
I highly recommend Cindy and her amazing team at VIPet Sitters to anyone who could use their services. It was our first time using at-home pet services and it was exactly the experience we had hoped for. Constant communication, updates, pictures (we so appreciated all the many pictures!) and we arrived home to two very happy very well cared for pups. Cindy requested that I message her once we were physically back together with our girls. Rather than assuming we made it home at the expected time, Cindy makes sure of it before considering the job done. I really appreciated that. For years when they were younger, our girls would board at a pet hotel whenever we would leave town. They were always very well taken care of but our one pup who has a bit more separation anxiety would have a desperate and frantic excitement about her when we would pick them up. Even though they were well taken care of, it was a stressful experience. When we arrived home this time though, they were both excited to see us but there was no desperation in their excitement. We came back to two sound asleep pups who had been well taken care of in their own home by some really great folks. To Cindy, Shannon, Daniel, and Mindy - Thank you so very much for taking such great care of our girls. You guys awesome!
We've used VIPet Sitters for several years now to watch our two kitties. They have been amazing with our boys over the years. They give picture and text updates every time they come over and make sure they get some love and attention while we are away. Recently, both our kitties were put on medication. They did a great job giving the kitties their meds with no issues (which is hard for cats)! I would definitely recommend VIPet for your pet sitting needs.
VIPet Sitter has taken care of my animal many times in the last 2 years. They have been amazing every single time and I know I can trust them with my animals. One of my cats got sick while I was away, and Cindy personally came and took my cat to the vet and communicated with me the whole time about what was going on and how I wanted it handled. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Melanie with Lovett's Pet Care is awesome! I needed someone to watch my 1 year old Portuguese Water Dog for a weekend and Melanie was so beyond wonderful!! She truly & genuinely cared for my pet like it was her own. Her pets are also so …
We boarded our dog with Lovett Pet Care for roughly a week, and it was a phenomenal experience. Melanie send us daily updates and photos, and made us feel comfortable that our dog was in incredibly good hands while we were away. If you’re …
My senior dog had a big surgery and needed someone to be with her to monitor for several days post surgery. I was not able to take off time from work, and was very glad to find Melanie. She stayed with my dog all day for the whole week …
My favorite place to take my boys, hands down. Everyone here is so kind and friendly, and they always tell me how much they love my boys. They are always so excited when they realize where we’re headed, and they come home sleepy and happy. Very reasonable pricing, very responsive, and they clearly take great care of the dogs for both daycare and boarding. I have been taking my dogs to Rogue’s for over a year now, and they have even dedicated time to working with my more reactive dog who used to be difficult around strangers and new dogs, and he is now happier than ever when we head to the farm. I’ve never had a bad experience with Rogues!
I've been bringing my big dogs (80 & 100 lbs) here for daycare for about two months - once a week. All of the staff that I've met have been friendly. It's been nice for my dogs to be able to socialize with other dogs. I do wish I could know more about where/how they spend their day. Overall I would recommend this place for daycare. (don't know about boarding)
Rogues is amazing! Always takes very good care of our pup Zimmy! He loves going up here too, always gets very excited when he sees we're on the road to rogues!
