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.

Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
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.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 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!
Pet House Suites was one of the only places in the area that I didn’t have to put in a form and wait to hear back from them to schedule an appointment. I called them up and schedule for later in the week. They did a beautiful and speedy job on our 100+lb Great Pyrenees. We dropped him off and picked him up 2.5 hours later. We have red clay in our yard and after the rain it’s pretty tough to get the red tint out of his coat. They brought him back to white and added a cute little bow on his collar 🤍 We also have an Australian Shepherd that is very high energy. They did a great job with her also.
My two teacup poodles love going to "camp" at Pet House Suites! The staff is over-the-top friendly, and they truly love their furry guests. To top it off, they offer grooming services, and Taylor does a terrific job! My pups have never looked better!!!!!
Staff and Doctor Stark are great! The customer bathroom is third world country-ish. They saw my cat, Prince on very short notice. Did what was needed, and I did not have to take a second mortgage to pay my bill. Thanks, guys, all the best!
If I could give negative stars…I WOULD!! This place is run by a HACK doctor and his kennel manager. I got my dog back and he was a walking skeleton! There was zero excuse for the condition I got my dog back in, especially since there’s a veterinarian office which is owned by the same HACK doctor right across the parking lot!! My dog died a month after he left the care of this facility! I called to see about getting a resolution to this matter and Tom Roehr….the owner and veterinarian blamed me for my dogs death. He also completely shirked responsibility…rather than taking responsibility and trying to resolve my complaints and concerns. If you even remotely love your dog…DO NOT Use their services.
I thought I would give this place a try… it’s very near where I work and my dog really needed to be groomed. I was not disappointed! The receptionist was very friendly and walked me through the process of what I’d need to fill out and provide ahead of time, and the groomer listened to what I wanted and delivered! She did an amazing job! Very pleased, and I’ll be going back!
The staff is great! Belle goes to doggy day care and absolutely loves it and looks forward to going. She is always treated like a princess. She recently spent 2 weeks boarding there and I could not ask for a better group of people to care for her while we were gone. I highly recommend.
We were so excited to come here for the second time. Unfortunately we will not be coming back after this experience. First I was told a bath would be included if I wanted. I said yes to one of my German Shepards because I knew she would love a bath by others. When I checked out they charged me 55.00 for a bath, when I asked if they trimmed her nails ( I could see they weren’t cut) they stated we tried but couldn’t. Still charging me $55 even they advised when I dropped them off it was included. When I questioned the charges they stated we didn’t say that and the contact says after the 10th day the bath is free.. according to my emergency contact they called her on the second day due to my males anxiety. My emergency contact stated if it continues or any other issues she would come and get them. They never called. Instead when I came and picked him up they said he is no longer welcomed back due to his anxiety and barking . Staff was rude and uneducated and scared of German shepherds. I have not been more disappointed. I do not recommend this facility at all to anyone. They also charged me a early drop off fee and charged me for the same day. They also charged me $30. For an all natural anxiety medication for my dog when I told them do not give him anything when I dropped him off. The medication did not even work they stated.. my male dog also had a large cut on his nose at pick up and they didnt say anything about that.
Literally operates policies that are counter to veterinary recommendations, overpriced and nickel and dime you for every small “service”that should be provided base for the cost they ask.
Great staff and you can tell they love our pets 🥰 …
As always, our dogs were well taken care of. We appreciate the way you treat our fur babies. And the groomer was great.
My babies Sam and Sadie were well taken care of when I had someone cancel watching them for me and I needed someone to watch them within a week of us leaving for our trip! Meg was responsive and eager to help me out. She met with them to see if they were a good fit and we agreed on that visit that she could sit my 2 dogs. I was nervous to leave them however, Meg sent me photos every visit and gave me updates each visit. Also, our flight was delayed when we were scheduled to be home and I had to contact Meg spur of the moment to visit them again. When we arrived home our babies were well cared for and very happy!! There has been no signs of stress and they are doing very well since we have been back. I absolutely can’t wait to be able to use Meg’s loving care services again. They provide a wonderful service and put our minds at ease while we were away from home. Knowing that your pets are taking care of when you’re away is the best feeling ever!! I highly recommend everyone to try their services!
Absolutely loved having Meg watch our two pups. She was reliable and caring. She sent lots of updates and is easy to communicate with. Will definitely be using them again. Can’t say enough good things.
Meg's Loving Pet Care is the only team I'd trust to watch my beloved companions when I'm away. They really get to know your pets (and I only go away a couple times a year), but they get to know the pets they watch and they will pick up on my changes to my pets routine. They will notify me if the house feels a little warm and adjust the thermostat or shades at my request. They bring in the mail with no added charge. I've never needed one of my pets to get vet care while I was away, but I know if one of my animals was not well, they would be quick to inform me and get them adequate care. I use the Sure Petcare feeding system (it's fancy and tells me when and how much each cat has eaten) so I can monitor when I'm away. There was a glitch in the system last time I was gone and Meg got on the phone with me while at my house and troubleshooted with me until we got it working again. Meg and her crew always go above and beyond. I can't recommend them enough. They are wonderful! And they send pictures of my animals every day I'm away. I love seeing their faces while I'm gone. Meg always delivers 100%
Megan and her employee Meg fit us in on very short notice while I was sitting for my granddog. Megan responded right away when I inquired on the website and came to my houses just a few days later with Meg to meet Sophie. Meg took wonderful care of Sophie with walks and rub downs. They were flexible with my schedule and it was a great relief knowing Sophie was so well cared for. Can't recommend this group enough! Do not hesitate to use them!
Meg is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our kitties. We got an excellent first impression when we met her. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets. She contacted us with pertinent questions in a timely manner, which was exactly what we expected. When we came home after our week away our cats were healthy, all medications had been given, and (most importantly to us) they were safe. During our time away Meg sent us photos of our babies having fun which was really nice 🙂. We look forward to booking Meg again in the future. Thanks for doing such a great job!
I have had 4 different walking companies over the past several years and Meg’s Loving Petcare is by far the best one I’ve had. They are structured and very consistent. They are also flexible when I need them to be. And I truly believe they care deeply about my furry baby. They send pictures of her everyday and my baby always looks happy which means everything to me! Thank you Meg and team for all that you do. I am a forever grateful customer!
I have been so happy with the care we have received from Kandi at Meg's Loving Pet Care! She loves my Poppy as much as I do and makes sure she is active and happy! I would recommend Meg's to anyone who needs help in caring for your pet!
We just LOVE Meg’s Loving Pet Care! They are professional, set you and your pup up with the ideal dog walker. Very organized with their scheduling and invoicing. Our dog Caddie just loves her dog walker, Kandi! She was a lifesaver when I went back to work after maternity leave. Caddie looks forward to her mid day walks and adventures!
If you’re looking for trustworthy people to take care of your pets while you’re gone then you’ve found the right place! I highly recommend Meg’s Loving Pet Care! I’m so grateful I found them. My dog, Ford, is pretty shy so I was nervous how he would react with someone new around. Meg and Ivy immediately put us at ease. Ivy provides our pet care and is absolutely wonderful!! She is reliable, easy to communicate with and sends me updates, pictures and videos during her visits. I always know Ford is in such great hands with Ivy. And he loves her too! Meg and her team will truly care for your pets and love them just as much as you do!
We are so lucky to have Meg and her gals in our lives! They take such good care of our aging pup Velvet, and she loves them so much! Meghan is an excellent communicator and has a great team. Velvet is our baby, and they are the only ones we trust to look after her when we are away from home!
We have 3 chihuahuas who do not board or attend doggy daycare on a regular basis so they are a little shy to warming up. Tracy and Joe treated them like one of their own and took great care of them while we were on vacation. Tracy did a home visit first to get to know them, then our dogs went to her home for a few hours the week before we left town. Tracy communicated with us and even sent pictures while we were gone. We didn't have to worry at all knowing they were safe and sound. We will definitely return when we need boarding services again!
Tracy and her team have looked after our cats on several occasions over the past two years. We could not be happier with the level of care, dedication and love our pets receive from her and her staff. They truly go above and beyond and have exceeded our expectations on every occasion. We always look forward to receiving the daily pics, and love the detailed check-in info after every visit. There is no one I would trust more to look after our cats while we’re away. We highly recommend We Let the Dogs Out 4 You for all your pet sitting needs!
Bottom line up front: If you’re searching for an exceptional pet care company that truly goes above and beyond, you’ve found them! A couple of year ago our cat was diagnosed as diabetic and requires insulin twice daily. My wife and I have gotten good at it but it has been daunting to find anyone who is able to provide care for our furry friend when we travel. We Let the Dogs Out 4 You has proven to be an absolute gem. Their evident passion for animals shines through in the attentive care they provide, their rates are reasonable, they’re timely and responsible. I was extremely impressed that not only were they able to administer the necessary insulin injections for my cat twice a day, but also established a bond with him over the course of our travel. Each visit after meeting our cats’ daily needs, Tracy would provide random acts of kindness like leaving toys or putting light music on for him. It's reassuring to know that my pet's health needs are being met with such precision and care. One of the standout features of We Let the Dogs Out 4 You is their meticulous daily reporting. Their attention to detail in these reports speaks volumes about their commitment to the well-being of each and every animal they care for. The convenience of their user-friendly app for communication is also a game-changer. Being able to receive updates, photos, and communicate with the caregivers easily has provided a level of comfort and transparency that's hard to find elsewhere. I wholeheartedly recommend We Let the Dogs Out 4 You to all pet owners seeking a company that not only loves animals but also excels in providing top-notch, personalized care. Jason M
Tracy and her husband are absolutely amazing. She has helped us through long trips and last minute requests and is always willing to help! Our dogs adore her as well and they are pretty picky with people! Tracy sends pictures and updates throughout their stay that leave a sense of peace knowing your babies are in a loving space. What I love most is they aren’t boarded in cages for our entire time away. They are given cuddles, long walks and a home to be in while we are away. We have also used Tracy for walks throughout the day and poop scoop services for our yard and we have always had great experiences with that as well. I have referred multiple people to Tracy and they have all raved over how amazing she is. I am so happy that we found Tracy and never have to stress about where our pups will go while we are away or if they will be well taken care of!
We adopted a puppy back in the spring and were very nervous to leave him with anyone but I saw numerous recommendations for Tracy and decided to use her boarding services. She and her husband have taken amazing care of our pup and she is wonderful about communicating with me and sending pics the entire time. They truly love animals and are extremely dedicated to what they do. Recommend this business 100%!
Tracy and Jaime did an amazing job with my pups. The quality of care they did for them and my cats were none like I've ever seen. They also gave me updated details with every visit including pictures - which I loved and looked forward to :-) They are very professional and caring. They put my mind at ease when I had to go out of town. They were also very understanding if my dogs had any accidents in the house. I highly recommend them !!
We have a nervous little dog but he is always ok going to We Let the Dogs Out 4 You, LLC. He knows he will be well loved there and we know it too. Tracy always sends us pics while we are away to show he is happy! The owner always responds quickly when I ask to get coverage for our pup! She is very friendly and knows my dogs little quirks. We have taken him to other places after our last dog sitter moved. This was the most affordable with the most personal care! I highly recommend this place for your fur babies!
We Let the Dogs out 4 you has taken care of my two dogs for all our summer trips this year. This is the first time I have been able to go on vacation and not have to worry or check up on the pups while we are gone. They sent me pictures and an update for every visit. When we got home the dogs were happy and relaxed and you could tell they had a great time while we were away. Thanks to Cindy, Tracy, Patti and Jaime for all the extra love you showed Phinn and Pippa!
Tracy and Jaime are fantastic and truly care for our pets. Our handsome Asher spent a couple of days with Tracy for in-home boarding while I helped my daughter move back from college and I loved the updates and pictures she sent...he truly enjoyed his stay there. Due to an issue with the move, we had to spend an extra night away resulting in Asher staying with her a little longer and Tracy was understanding and helpful. Additionally, I asked for a quick check on our kitties since one night away turned into two and she easily took care of us. Jaime, who usually walks Asher for us during the week, came over to check on the kitties and sent a great update with pictures. I highly recommend WLTDO4Y and so thankful for their outstanding service, compassion and love of pets, and all around fantastic ladies.
I’ve had a great experience w/WE LET THE DOGS OUT 4 YOU. Tracy came by to meet my new puppy, Benji, about 3 yrs ago. I knew right away she was a responsible & caring person. Before meeting Tracy, my husband & I scheduled a vacation & hired someone to stay w/Benji for 5 days but after just 1 night of being away, she called & told us she couldn’t stay the duration. She abandoned him leaving us desperate for a rescue sitter. Feeling helpless being so far away while Benji was by himself, I called Tracy. She graciously went to my house, packed Benji & his things & took him home with her. After he was settled in she sent text messages, updates & photos of Benji being well taken care of. It was so comforting knowing he was safe. I can’t tell you how relieved we were. We were able to relax & enjoy the rest of our vacation w/confidence & w/out the anxiety. Benji was in good hands. Since that time, Tracy and Jaime have been walking Benji during the day while I’m at work. They’re extremely reliable but most of all trustworthy. I love being at work and getting an email w/photos and updates of Jaime’s visits with Benji. Benji not only looks forward to his visits with Jaime, but he expects them. And ... their scheduling/invoicing/messaging portal is user friendly and super convenient. I highly recommend WeLetTheDogsOut4You!
We've been using the services of 4 Paws A Walk'n for over two years and couldn't be happier. We started as only occasional weekend clients and are now receiving daily walks for our dog. Linda is AMAZING. My dog just adores her, and you can tell she loves our dog as well. Very professional and responsible services. I never worry when Linda is watching our furbabies. I would highly recommend 4 Paws A Walk'n to anyone in the Bristow area!
Linda Waverly is the person that I completely trust with my animals. She is the person everyone should have when they need someone to care for their pets. She is kindhearted, caring, trustworthy, and always puts the needs of the animals above her own. Not only does she take care of her pets and yours, she rescues the ones that people have abandoned and finds permanent, loving homes for them. I know this first hand because that was how I first met her. Long, long story short... my neighbor and I found a kitten less than ten days old, mother run off and siblings killed by a dog. The kitten needed bottle fed every two hours. I work. The shelter said it would put it down. That's how I met Linda. Linda spent the next several weeks bottle feeding that kitten while successfully running 4 Paws-A-Walking. That kitten is now my cat. Linda has such a phenomenal reputation for successfully rescueing and caring for animals that she is the person I went to to get a second cat. That cat and her three siblings were dropped off at Fed-ex building. Linda found loving, permanent homes for all. So that is the person of such high moral character whom you can completely trust to care for your pets. She is the person I turn to when I need pet care. You will love her.
3 years ago I become unable to walk my best friend, my dog Baylin. My heart was broken. He loved his walks more than anything else I could do for him. Linda with 4 Paws a walkn' was recommenced. Right away I knew she was the one to love my dog and give him joy. He waits for her daily. We both love her and can not imagine life without her. If your looking for someone to love your dog and become a part of your family Linda will be perfect for you!
If you're looking for a dependable dog walker/pet sitter that treats your pets like family, look no further. My husband and I and our pack have been loyal customers of 4 Paws A Walk'n for the last 5 years, and would highly recommend this business to anyone.
Wonderful experience! Amy and her husband Don were extremely accommodating and patient with my moluccan cockatoo. I had some anxiety about setting up/breaking down his large cage, but they expertly assembled/disassembled it with me in no time at all. I received daily videos, which helped me relax and enjoy my vacation. It's very hard to find a boarding facility for parrots, and I'm very grateful that Amy is nearby. In the end, my bird was reluctant to leave her and didn't let go of her hand! He was clearly well taken care of. I will definitely be returning on my next trip!
It is difficult to find a place to care for Sailor, our African Grey, when we travel. Finding Boarding Feathered Friends was like finding a treasure. They looked after Sailor for 10 days, and kept us updated daily on how she was doing with a short video. Sailor adapted quickly to her new surroundings. She was in very caring hands. Since their large cage was reserved already, we brought our own for Sailor, which worked out well.
Amy was so great with our cockatiel, Squirt!! She visited daily, with updates, and really took wonderful care of him. It's clear that Amy is very knowledgeable and loving of our feathered friends. We definitely recommend and thank you, Amy!
Boarding Feathered friends is just like a home away from home for your birdies. You don’t have to worry about your feathered children when you are away. Amy and her family love birds and give them lots of attention and healthy snacks. You are texted daily pictures and videos with updates on how they are doing. If you need a safe place for your birds to stay, we highly recommend Boarding Feathered Friends.
Our sweet, senior cockatiel loved his time with Amy! Her and her family showed Mercy such genuine care and interaction, and really helped him feel comfortable. It was heartwarming seeing the daily videos and how much he was enjoying himself. We can’t recommend Boarding Feathered Friends enough, and we’re glad that we can go out of town knowing that our bird is in the best hands.
Amy took incredible care of our blue crowned conure when we were away for 10 days. She gave him a ton of attention and made sure that he was happy and that his needs were met. In fact, she made a trip to the store to buy almonds because she noticed how much he liked them! Amy was more than comfortable holding him and playing with him. She made it so easy for us to relax and we knew our bird was in the best hands. Thank you Amy!
Amy was AMAZING! Very kind, personable and patient. She took good care of our feisty little parrotlet and was thorough with communication before and during his stay. We received daily videos of his stay and felt good about having a safe place to send our sweet boy so close to home. Will of course have Amy take care of him again in the future.
Amy did an absolutely wonderful job with our birds! I highly recommend her! She sent me pictures with each visit and often even films! I felt very comfortable knowing my birds were in such good hands, and I'm so relieved to know we finally have a way to travel without schlepping up to boarding facilities in Fairfax! She's the best!
Amy was wonderful with our baby!! Bella was not mad at us at all when we got home. That tells me that she was given the attention she needed in our absence. I will definitely use Amy again!!!
Amy did an amazing job taking care of my little Felix through her overnight boarding service while I was traveling for the week. She sent regular updates and pictures, and perfectly catered to my bird’s schedule and care instructions! I couldn’t be more pleased Boarding Feathered Friends services!
Siria has worked as a vet technician for a long time and it shows. She is so sweet with both dogs and cats and she is so thoughtful about their needs and knows exactly how to tend to the complex pets that require medications and a lot of love. She is so easy to work with and communicate with. She is fantastic at what she does and I will always use her as my first go to for watching my pets!
I believe that I was her very first client after searching several reviews and was very happy to have Siria to walk by Collie Gabby. She watched over her and would make me aware of any health concerns that she noticed. Unfortunately after 3 1/2 years, she passed away. Both had a strong bond and love for each other and she even took time off work to see Gabby the day she crossed the rainbow bridge. Highly recommend her!
I was very hesitant leaving my baby kai with a sitter as he’s always been with family. When I found Siria’s information as a sitter, I felt at ease that she was closer to my home. She provided any information requested to ease my stresses and make me feel comfortable leaving kai with her while I was away. She accommodated the drop off and pick up times with my schedule. She provided pictures and open communication during Kai’s stay to help me stay at ease. She treated him like he was her own and understood his little quirks. He enjoyed his time with her as she shows him so much love and care. I recommend Siria and will definitely use her services again for future needs.
Siria went above and beyond for my pups! It’s been difficult to find a reliable sitter and I’m so happy to know after the pups most recent visit with Siria we will be going to Siria moving forward. Great for small dog owners looking for somebody with experience and a passion for small dogs. Thank you again Siria!
Siria did an amazing job! Firstly, I’m writing this review on behalf of my mother whose cat Siria took amazing care of during a family trip. She was in constant communication with us and was even there to support my mom when she had to put one of her two cats down right before the planned trip. Siria showed up on time, stayed the entire time and sent lots of pics and updates. My mom Nancy is hard to please especially when her fur baby is concerned but she was at ease the entire trip. So on behalf of my mom, her cat Salem, and the rest of the family in the trip we could not be happier with the service and are definitely planning to use her again!
Siria took care of my high maintenance shih tzu for a long weekend. She did a great job. Gave meds and special meals on time and took her on walks as required. I knew she was well cared for safe. Siria is always relaxed, courteous, and professional.
Siria's services were exceptional. She was accommodating to my schedule and very professional. It was clear she loves dogs. When my Beau sees her at the vet clinic, he runs up to her and stands and jumps on his hind legs. Her fee is very reasonable. I highly recommend her.
I am so happy with the care my dog received from Siria! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew she was in great hands. Siria's warm and loving approach immediately put both my dog and me at ease. She provided regular updates and adorable photos throughout his stay, showing how much fun she was having. It's clear that she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. When I picked her up, she was happy, healthy, and full of energy! I highly recommend Siria's pet services to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry friends!
Couple of years ago, it was first time to leave our dog with a sitter. I searched and asked friends and families to find a sitter for Vasili and found Siria. She provided all information and made us feel comfortable leaving Vasili. She provided pictures of our dog when we were away and we lived with our dog long enough understanding he’s enjoying living with Siria. Siria kept him couple of times so far and we are so happy to leave our dog with her. I recommend Siria to anyone.
Siria has taken care of our numerous pets on several occasions. She even braved a storm to make sure our funnies were taken care of. Her experience working with animals is invaluable, and ours enjoyed her care and attention.
We have used Paw pals pet sitting on multiple occasions for our bunnies while we are away. Many pet sitters are not interested in small pets however; Mary and her team, are amazing and we trust her implicitly! We are very happy with the outstanding service we have received from her team including texts and photos of our pets when we are out of town. They always go the extra mile and we highly recommend them!
Highly recommend as pet sitters! Initially, a sitter from the company will visit the house to meet the pets and learn where everything is. Tatiana took careful notes and we got her some spare keys. While we are away, Paw Pals sends sitters to come and look after our boys. They feed them, scoop litter, bring in mail and packages, and they will even manage trash, recycling, blinds and lights so that everything is comfortable for our kitties. Each time they check in, we receive an email message with updates and pictures, which is so comforting when we are on the road. Also, if you don’t let Paw Pals know when you are home, they assume something has happened and will continue to care for your babies. If something were to happen, I know they would be okay. Five stars for Paw Pals!
The folks at Paw Pals pet sitting are fantastic to work with. This review includes a bit of a long story but goes to show how dedicated they are to their job and the care they have for the animals they watch over. I reached out to Paw Pals, even though I live outside their service area, in a bit of a panic because our scheduled dog sitter for our family vacation suddenly wasn't available. The local sitters we've used in the past seemed like they wouldn't be able to accommodate us on such late notice and so we were scouring the internet for other options. When I submitted a request to Paw Pals, I expected to get a polite no thank you - you're out of our service area. Instead I got a call from Jen, who was so kind, helpful and accommodating and essentially bent over backwards to help set up a sitter for us. We met the sitter at her home and it was more of the same. So friendly and welcoming to our dog and fully prepared to watch her for two weeks. We ultimately didn't end up booking with Paw Pals, only because our local sitter had an opening that allowed someone to stay in home with our dog (who is a very anxious senior shepherd-collie mix). But just based on the limited experience I had with them, I would highly recommend Paw Pals. These folks are fantastic and I only wish we lived closer so we could utilize their other services on a regular basis. Five stars all the way!
I have used Paw Pals for several trips over the last few months, and they have been phenomenal every time! Mary is extremely kind and responsive, and she makes sure that my cat and dog have the care that they need every time I am out of town. All of the pet sitters that I've had have been incredibly sweet to my pets, and they treat them like their own! Will gladly continue using Paw Pals every time I need a sitter.
We used Paw Pals for our two cats during the holidays (2 weeks). Our experience was absolutely amazing! From the amazing communication we had with the Paw Pals team and the cat sitters to the amazing job they did with our cats. One of our cats has always been reluctant to meet new people but after these two weeks she's now the first to greet anyone! I love the updates with pictures you get after each visit which is something I always looked forward to while missing our cats. Part of our holiday included being on a cruiseship which left us with very little internet connectivity but at no point did I feel the need to worry as we knew our cats were in great hands. If you need a cat sitter I'd look no further than Paw Pals. I highly recommend them.
We have been using Paw Pals for several years, and through a variety of pets that we have loved. Mary and her team have always been *exceptional* in every way. They are professional, courteous, and truly love our fur family! Mary herself is an organized and stellar administrator of her pet care business, keeping detailed records of our pet’s needs, scheduled pet visits, payments, and balance due easy to keep track of as the pet owner. The pet caretaking team is reliable and trustworthy. When our dogs see any of their Paw Pal friends, they get SO excited to see them! Follow up comments are left via text to keep the pet owner informed of the visit and how the pets are faring. Paw Pals has allowed our family the peace of mind to leave our pets at home, for work, weekend getaways and longer times away when necessary, where they are the most comfortable and familiar. We are grateful to Mary and her team for giving us the ability to enjoy pet ownership without feeling tied down. The responsibility of having pets comes with the need to keep them safe and comfortable at all times, and Mary and her team affords us this when our family has to be away.
Mary and her Paw Pals team are amazing!!! They have taken amazing care of my cats for several years and have always made me feel comfortable and confident that my kitties would be well cared for!!! And when my oldest cat needed special TLC which meant multiple visits a day, multiple medicines with special directions and sub-q fluids, Paw Pals took extra special care of her and always kept me informed of how she was doing with every visit!! I can’t say enough!! I also recommended Paw Pals to friends who are also now regular clients with Paw Pals!!!
I hired Paw Pals based on my sister’s referral. Meet & greet was very thorough and detailed. I was surprised that my finicky cat came to check the sitter out. Subsequently, a sitter watched my cat over several separate visits, and it was clear through the visit reports that my cat loved the sitter. All the visits were completed having followed my directions & with professionalism. I would highly recommend Paw Pals to anyone who’s looking for a dependable, personable, & professional sitter.
Very positive experience working with Paw Pals Pet Siting. Owner, Mary Telesz, came to our home to meet our pets and get accustomed to their daily routine. When we were away she sent updates and pictures to let us know they were doing well. She informed us when she was introducing a new pet sitter through the business for the following days of our vacation, and the sitter left us detailed remarks. Overall recommend and will use Paws Pals Pet Siting in the future.
We are so grateful we found Mary and her team at Paw Pals. They are exceptionally responsive, amazingly organized and detail-oriented. We have such peace of mind when we travel knowing our home and pets are so well cared for. Paw Pals is the best pet sitting service we’ve used, and we’re so happy we found them.
I had a family emergency and had to drop my dog at daycare from Sunday September 8th in the AM to Wednesday 11th in the PM. I didn't notice when I picked her up as I was exhausted, and only noticed some low energy thinking she probably played a lot. At home is when I saw her right lip swollen and at closer inspection all the scratches around her nose. Her tail was also RAW and bleeding. I called and when I spoke to the manager she told me at closer inspection of the camera it seems she was approached by a great Dane, but she didn't elaborate. All she said was sorry and that it won't happen next time. She asked to send her pictures which I did and asked for accountability via email, and she is yet to reply. I had to take my dog to the veterinary, and place her in antibiotics for her lip and nose, ointment to keep her nose hydrated, and bandage for her tail to help it heal. At dogtopia I remember signing a document stating that if my dog assaulted another dog I would be liable for veterinary and medical cost so I don't understand why they're not making the owner of the great dane take care of this, instead I paid for negligent care and vet costs. It's safe to say I won't bring my dog back and understand now why this place is so slow. EDIT to reply: No you DID NOT communicate the FACE injuries which were more severe than the tail, I still have the message and picture you sent regarding her tail, you never mentioned the SCRATCHES on her face. Also when I called and spoken to the employee before she put me on hold to talk to the manager i heard her whisper "He knows" before the phone going mute. In our phone conversation you also mentioned a Great Dane, AND suggested having my dog with the small dogs to avoid the great dane. Now there is no great dane? Also my dog has stayed multiple times at your facility and the dogtopia in herndon, we've never had this "crate rub" issue before. And if it was what kind of crates do you have with sharp edges to scratch my dogs face like that?
I am deeply disappointed with my recent experience at Dogtopia of Manassas. I brought my healthy dog in for daycare, expecting him to be well-cared for. However, when I picked him up, I was shocked to find him unable to walk properly and covered in scratches. It's evident that my dog did not receive the proper care and supervision he needed during his stay. As a result, he has sustained injuries that were completely avoidable and unacceptable. I urge pet owners to reconsider using this daycare, as the safety and well-being of your pets may not be adequately ensured here.
It’s always a little nerve wracking leaving my dogs (8 and 10 year old dachshund mixes) but I felt a lot of relief after day care at Dogtopia went well. It’s smart that the team starts with temperament testing to ensure the dogs don’t have aggressive habits. My dogs do better in this “neutral territory” compared to being in someone else’s home so this is a perfect solution. We left town for a week and it was nice to be able to check the Ring camera in the Dogtopia app and see that our dogs were wagging their tails and socializing. I also received nice emails and texts during their stay offering extra activities to keep my dogs stimulated. 5/5 stars, can’t wait for my next trip. I know our dogs will be in good hands.
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the care provided to our dog during his stay from 07/03 to 07/06. We paid $400.00 for this service, only to have our dog returned to us with multiple injuries. His nose, head, and paw are all scratched and injured. I have attached photos for your reference. We were not informed of any incidents or injuries during his stay. Upon his return, our dog is now acting unusually, refusing to use the bathroom, and clearly in distress. This level of negligence and lack of communication is unacceptable. When I called to inquire about what happened, I was told that our dog was playing with another dog, slipped, and injured himself. Additionally, they mentioned his nose was scratched from the crate. The only response I received was a dismissive apology and a vague promise to be more transparent next time. This is not the level of care we expected or paid for. I strongly advise others to reconsider using your services if they wish to avoid their pets returning home sick and injured.
My dog was so happy there - I could see on the monitor. And the people were great too!
My girls love both the Manassas and Gainesville locations! The staff is great and all I have to say is “daycare” and they start hopping around like clowns with excitement! These photos are pics that the staff took and sent to me. They are so content!
The manager Melanie and staff are just amazing!! I love that I can watch my pup play with her doggy friends throughout the day. My Oakley enjoys daycare every time.
Dogtopia of Manassas is fantastic. Our puppy is about a year old and gets beyond excited when she sees us pulling into the parking lot. The staff is incredibly friendly, and seems to really care about taking care of our dog. The webcam service is fantastic to check in on your pup! Its a great way to let your pet get their energy out while you are at work! We look forward to many more visits!
I like the fact that every employee is inviting and loving toward myself and my pup. Everyone is always so excited to see Misty and has funny stories to share about her day. I really enjoy the little notes that are sent home.
Archie had a fabulous time and will be back soon.
We are previous Waggin' Tails customers and have had great experiences at Bark + Boarding. Amy has been amazing and hosted a few events at our apartment community over the summer. I think the photo events are a cute idea, and we look forward to returning! We really like this facility because it is always clean, does not smell like other local competitors' facilities, and our dog always seems to be well taken care of. Keep doing what you're doing!
We truly appreciate and completely trust the amazingly wonderful staff as well as the entire boarding experience at Bark and Boarding in Manassas ❣️❣️🐶 From the warm friendliness and efficiency of the front desk, to the genuinely compassionate loving care and expertise of the staff giving the direct care to my 18.5 yr old little dachshund, the whole experience was totally above and beyond ❣️🐶 My sweet mini dachshund, Nugget, has multiple care issues and the tender caring staff gave the very best of loving care and attention to her 🐶❤️ We gratefully have the utmost confidence in the staff when we have to board her! We wouldn't board our fur baby anywhere else because of the trust and confidence we have developed in this Bark and Boarding staff ❣️
The staff are nice. But the one time we did overnight boarding, he came down with a wicked case of bordetella and a step infection.
Our puppy, Wally loves going to daycare. He loves all of his friends, human and animal.
Love this place and the staff, my dog loves it here! Definitely will recommend it to others.
Annie approved! Thanks!
We've been using Paws Awhile for over 15 years. This is the 3rd dog we've boarded... The kennel is very clean with large cage runs. Staff is professional, friendly, and give the animals lots of love, attention and personal care. Great price/value!
Great place for our big dog. He is 135 lbs and he is really happy to go there. No pace else for him
Our English Bulldog stays here when we go out of town on vacation since her was 6 months old and almost 7 years old I can’t saw enough good things about the sisters and the way the team cares for him. Max loves Paws Awhile Pet Motel
I cannot say enough positive things about PawsAwhile. Our family have been clients with Paws Awhile since 2017. We board, do daycare and have used their grooming services for our canine children. With confidence we know our "Boys" are well taken care of, in fact when we arrive for daycare they are very excited to see all the staff. Without hesitation we recommend this small business!
Teddy loved his time at PAPM!! Loved my daily photos of him by email and I so appreciated their attention to detail. PAPM truly loves what they do and I will be using them again to board Teddy!
My dog loves it here. We have been coming here for almost 20 years. Highly recommend.
The Sisters and their staff are so great with our dog. He’s pretty skittish and reactive around new people, but every time he runs right up to the person checking us in, which is a great sign. His preferred place is right at my feet at all times, but while we’re out of town, this is a perfect second best. The Sisters are incredibly accommodating, keep in touch with us if our pup gets sick, and generally just love the dogs. Can’t recommend them enough!
This place is wonderful! I'm so glad I found it. My pup has been coming here since he was old enough to get all the required vaccinations. He LOVES this place. The nuns (yes, nuns!) and staff are delightful, and the motel is set on such a beautiful property. They offer daycare and boarding for both dogs and cats, and have many activity packages and add-ons for your little fella if he/she needs extra playtime, walks, or snuggles. I highly recommend it! Edit: My pup has been "evicted" from this facility. He was recently boarded here for a 12 day stay while I was out of town. When I arrived to pick him up I was told he was no longer welcomed because he "wasn't picking up on another dog's cues during play time". Apparently my pup wanted to play with a dog that didn't want to play. There was no fight, and it was with only one dog, who he had played with in the past. I'm very upset over this, as I think the facility could have handled it differently. Every time I've picked my dog up from here, they always tell me he was a perfect gentleman. He's been coming here since he was about 7 months old, and he'll be two at the end of March. It's a shame he's been "banned" over this one incident. Edit: Adam from this facility reached out to discuss what apparently was a misunderstanding. I feel like we were able to clear up the issue and was reassured that my pup was still welcomed at Paws Awhile. This interaction was handled in a very polite and professional way, and I'm looking forward to getting my pup back into daycare and boarding.
From the moment we walked into Paws Hotel We loved it😍 We were greeted In such a warm and caring manner and the place was very clean . Mother Eirene suggested we leave Dakota for a weekend because our concern was We rescued Her and didn’t want her to feel she was being left again and we wouldn’t be back . It was a great idea she was fine so we felt good about leaving her for two weeks for our vacation . I was a mess we never have left any of our dogs at any boarding , hotel for animals . We made a great choice all the staff and sisters were wonderful, Mike the manager assured us not to worry All was going to be fine . If I could give more stars I would and I don’t give them easy. I called almost every day they never made me feel I was a bother 😀 Thank You all again for taking care of our Dakota⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They were very thorough during the check-in process to ensure they had all the information to care for our dog, including our vets information who we had to call to answer some of their questions. Our dog is the nervous type and they went to great lengths to calm him down and make him feel at ease. When we picked him up 4 days later he was happy, clean, and healthy. We will definitely be using Paws Awhile in the future.
