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.
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
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.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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.
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, $18/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!
Was our first time away from our dogs. I was definitely nervous about having someone in my home that i didn't know. After the first meeting, my fears were relieved. Very professional operation! You can tell they love what they do. Kristin was wonderful. The dogs loved her! She was very caring and reliable. Her communication while we were gone was top-notch. I was updated after every visit with text and photos. She left such an impression on my boys. They were waiting by the window for her to come for a few days after we got back. I was able to enjoy my vacation instead of worrying. The boys want to thank Kristin and GPP as well. I will use GPP again.
I feel so comfortable having Tracy care for my pets while I'm away! Incredible service, and I feel they genuinely care about my pets. This is the only in home pet sitting service I will use!
Really thankful to Gentle Pet Protectors. The visits and walks from Kristin, Ruth, & Danie for my dog Ivy have been fantastic every single time!! And the quick communication from Lisa is great. is A weight of my shoulders knowing Ivy is in good hands when I have long work days.
Lisa is a Amazing person. My dog fell in love with her. She has so much patience and let my dog sniff all over so she would be comfortable. She took the time to reassure me all would be okay, show me around, She even asked ahead of time if there was anything special she could do to make my pups stay easier for both of us. If there was 10 stars, I'd have given her 10. I Highly recommend her ( so does my vet, who only had amazing things to say about Lisa) 💞🦴🐕
Lisa and her team have taken care of my cats for well over a decade. The first time I met Lisa she said "I'll take care of your cars as if they were my own" That has been 100% true for anyone on her staff. I NEVER worry when I'm gone because I know my cats are well cared for! I trust Lisa and her staff implicitly and give them an unconditional recommendation.
Absolutely a pleasure to work with! My husband and I work full time jobs and Lisa helped us out when our puppy wasn’t able to go to doggie daycare due to lack of vaccinations. She not only got in contact with us immediately, but scheduled times that would work best for him and his potty breaks. Extremely trustworthy and gives you the ease of mind that your pets are getting taken care of. I am beyond impressed from the communication to the notes and updates left from our sitter Kaley. I will be referring them out to anyone who needs a sitter or dog walker!
Lisa is awesome. We were on the road traveling through Michigan and decided to visit The Henry Ford Museum. Our Toy Poodle is not a service dog and was not allowed to go with us. I reached out to Lisa and she re-arranged her schedule to accommodate us. She was able to keep our Toy Poodle for 2 days, while we enjoyed The Henry Ford Museum and all the extras at The Henry Ford. Thank you Lisa, you are awesome.
We just started using Gentle Pet Protectors and couldn’t be happier. We get communication and pictures with every visit and our dogs look happy and well cared for while we are gone.
Love Lisa and her team, especially Angie and Claudia. My dogs are like my children, and it goes without saying their safety and comfort is my top priority. I have never had a moment of concern when Angie has stayed with them, and Claudia has been very helpful when planning a trip.
We had Maya as our dog walker and she was fabulous! Every dog walk we would be left a detailed note of how the visit went with Murphy. She would feed and water him as we liked and would also bring in our mail for us. If you are looking for a reliable trust worthy dog walker this company is the company that you should hire! Keep up the great work.
