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.

Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
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.
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!
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
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!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $ per visit, $17/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!
Lauri took amazing care of our small farm while we were out of state! She managed nearly 40 head of sheep, a horse, guardian dogs, chickens & cats like a pro. Lauri also kept my tomatoes alive and well for me. 🥰She paid attention to every detail and gave us such peace of mind while being so far away. We would highly recommend their services!
A Whole Lot of Service at a Great Price Excellent and surprisingly comprehensive service. Very professional. Lauri exceeded all of our expectations the first day we met her, and then she went above and beyond that for the week we were away. Honestly, I think she loves animals more than paying customers, and there doesn't seem to be much limit to the care she is willing to provide. She collected our mail, watered our horse, checked on our chickens, and even brought the cats catnip just because. Everything was performed exactly as requested, on time and with a clearly conscientious dedication to her work and the animals. I would absolutely hire TLC Pet Sitters again. Thank you Lauri!
I can't recommend TLC Pet Sitters enough! I was looking for "like-home" care for my two dogs and got exactly that and more. Tom and Lauri are both so kind and they love and care for your animals like their own. Super personalized care - I really couldn't ask for more!
Took our 1 year old yellow lab here for a week and he will NEVER go back. Prior to his boarding with these sitters the owner commented on how sweet he was and he was showed the farm where he was mobbed by all of her small aggressive dogs to the point he had to cower behind his mom. After a week at her farm he came home with two 1”+ cuts around his eye that were still bleeding and that probably should be stitched and he appeared to have lost 10 to 15 lbs. She then has the nerve to say that he is agressive to other dogs. If that were the case, it would be the first time since he is well socialized and has never had issues with other dogs or the baby and toddler that he lives with. To top it all off initially she said it would only be $25 a day, but upon returning she charged $30 a day with no explanation.
TLC Pet Sitters cares for my dog like he is their own. He loves them, too, and why wouldn't he with the pampering he gets there! I have peace leaving my pets in their care, and that's saying a lot!
Our boys had the bast time! They played and worked and played some more. Tom and Lauri made them feel like they were home. I'm would recommend them to all my doggy mommies and daddies. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our furry kids!
We have boarded all our dogs here. Just love Tom and Laurie. You can just tell they love the animals they sit. Too bad there is someone else using their name.
The carrot that the dogs get is unmatched. The correspondence to the pet owner is also unmatched. Cannot say enough good things about Lori and Tom's Pet Care Service.
I love my 4 dogs, flock of sheep, chickens and cats...but I think TLC loves them (and takes care of them) even better than I do!
The owners are wonderful. My dog loves them almost as much as she loves us and feels right at home there.
Outstanding service and care! It was our 3 dogs first boarding experience and Savannah went above and beyond to ensure their comfort and mine. She helped address an unexpected anxiety issue and reported regularly on all the dogs status. The dogs were happy and healthy and the owners were able to enjoy our time apart with no worries.
Great first experience! We just boarded our female lab for a week over Thanksgiving, and it was a success. Savannah communicated with us actively prior, during and after the visit, including photos and video of her playing with the other dogs and having fun. There was even a minor health issue, which we were notified of promptly. Savannah's daughter even drew a great picture of our dog which we received at pickup. We will be back!
We found Savannah on google maps and are so happy we did. She took great care of our 2 small dogs for 6 days and she cares about her guests. She sent us pictures throughout their stay and even dressed them up in Halloween costumes on Halloween. We are new to the area and take pride in where we board our dogs. This is our new go to boarding kennel. She fills up fast so you must book early. She is a small facility but that means more individual care. Thank you Savannah. We will be back. Ron and Julie.
We searched for dog boarder who we could trust to care for our dogs while we travel. I checked online and Chattaroy Dog Boarding looked like a nice kennel. We left our two precious dogs in their care and we were not disappointed. The dogs were very well cared for and we received photos and updates while we were gone. It's hard to leave our dogs with anyone, but when we have to, I feel good knowing they will be in a place I know they will be well taken care of. I highly recommend Chattaroy Dog Boarding 100%.
The best dog boarding I have seen. We have taken our dog Noel three times. The best dog boarding around. Our Noel loves playing with the other dogs, and the doggie pool. Savannah is the best. You can tell she cares for the dogs. She keeps the kennels clean. So grateful we found her.
We had such a good experience here, the kennels were so clean and our dog was able to play with other dogs throughout his stay. We got pictures and videos of his time there which gave us some piece of mind while we were away. We will definitely be back even if it’s a bit out of the way for us, it’s worth it!
Professional, clean, caring, and a safe boarding business for doggie. It gets nerve racking when trying to find a safe place to put pooch while away, we’ve all heard the horror stories. This is one of those safe places. I do not worry about mutt while gone and on top of all that she even sends updates so communication is not an issue either. 10 stars if I had the option!
We dropped our pup off with Savannah for the first time and were nothing but impressed. The facility is clean, organized and well laid out. Dogs have indoor and outdoor access, as well as an exercise/play area. Savannah did an amazing job with communication and shared photos and updates during our dogs stay. She looked so happy in them all. I highly recommend Chattaroy Dog Boarding, our pup was safe and cared for.
We’ve boarded with Chattaroy Dog Boarding multiple times. This is our go-to boarder. The owner takes great care of our dogs and truly loves what she does. The facility is first-rate and always clean. You can’t go wrong trusting your dogs to be here!
We want to thank Savannah & Family so much for the excellent care, love and comfort they have shared/given us. The facility is clean, secured and comfortable. Will definitely be back and will highly recommend😉. …
We went to Mexico, and we needed to find a place where we could keep our Shiba inu Rain safe and sound. And we chose a great place to keep her in Sand Canyon Pet Sitting. I have never regretted entrusting my dog to this amazing family. Rain was treated like a family member, she found friends and did not want to leave. Every day I received video reports about her and I knew that she was really doing well.
This family treats each dog as their own. So much love in this home for so many amazing pups.
The animals they take care of here are treated like one of the family and are well taken care of. Such a kind and generous family that would go above and beyond for your fur babies needs. I wouldn’t recommend any other business for a place for your pets to go on a vacation while you are away. I love this family!!!
I have not had my pets stay here, and if my husband will take me somewhere, I'd have Jeanne watch my fur kids in a heartbeat. I know her personally. She is the most down to earth, animal-loving, responsible person I know. Your pets will be well cared for and kept safe while you are away. Cannot say enough about this wonderful family.
Missy (adult female schnauzer mix, only dog in household) was with them for a week and was taken care of like a queen. Other dogs there got along great with Missy and she didn’t have anxiety about being away from her family. Didn’t have to worry about her at all. Will use Sand Canyon Pet Sitting again for sure! Thank you for your great service!!
Jeanne is absolutely the best. Her home is clean, comfortable, and the space for the animals to be in their home away from home lacks nothing! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dogs to be safe, loved on, and completely taken care of. You won’t regret it!
Only place I trust to leave my girl! I love that they treat her like part of the family & she gets to run and play. It’s like a vacation for her too♥️
I know the people who run Sand Canyon pet sitting they are wonderful everyone's animals.
We love having a place for Ash to go where she is loved and treated like family. I don’t know what we would do without Jeanne. She is just so sweet and patient. ☺️
Jeanne and her family take care of our Shepherd when we are away. They treat her like family. Ellie loves playing with the kids and other dogs, and she is so excited to visit. We look forward to receiving photos and videos showing just how much fun she is having. We have peace of mind knowing that Ellie is not only safe and secure but is having as much fun as we are. We highly recommend Sand Canyon Pet Sitting. Five stars aren't enough.
Great place to leave your dogs! I have never left my dogs in a kennel because of the cost. It's never cheap (which is why I don't do it) but this was the most reasonable in the area. The owner was very nice and took good care of my 2 German Shepherds. Will use again!
They are awsome with your pets and their needs . They are one on one with then they just don't open all the doors and hope all the dogs get along with each other.wich is great for my dog staff is so friendly I found my dogs home away from home and don't have to worry at all she's in great hands.
My dogs are always welcome here and well taken care of. I like that my dogs can't play with other dogs. They get their own outside time which is important for my young dog. She is very picky about her animal friends, all other places I found had group play. This kennel is set up for just one kennel out at a time. Love them and will not go anywhere else.
Charli was well taken care of. I appreciate Jessica and the extra TLC she gives the pets personally. I had just been in a car accident when I went to pick up my kitty. The owners of Marcinda Kennels, kindly duct taped my car together so that I could drive it home. While I was gone I communicated with them to see how Charlie was doing. I got a reply. emailed right away. I will always take my kitty there.
Great and affordable place to board your dog! The staff seem great and I was able to get updates on my pup.
Marcinda Kennels is wonderful. Marc & Linda are great! Very accommodating and caring. Our Husky was treated very well!
We housed my Mom’s cat Charli at Marcinda for 12 days. We retrieved her last night happy and healthy. They took care to send Mom videos of her getting pets and treats, and all of the individuals I met there are kind and clearly love animals. Charli’s enclosure was a generous size and accommodated her bed, scratching post, blankie and litterbox with ease. It looks like they’re on an old farmstead, so nothing fancy, but the cats have a good situation there for sure. My biggest customer service praise for them is that we had to roust the owner out during the UW/Michigan championship game and they were totally sweet about it. The price is extremely affordable and we’d definitely house our own cat there.
They are concerned about safety of your fur babies. The dog runs are clean. Outside area to run and dig if they are a digger. The lambs are so cute and nothing like fresh eggs from the farm. Very good hearted people. Prices should be 2x-3x more for the going rate of boarding your babies. Be blessed, knowing your babies are well taken care of.
Excellent place. It doesn't have looks, but it makes up that by having an excellent staff. Still run by the original owners who care and experience over being shiny and fancy. Only down side is they recently had to raise their prices, but that is no fault of theirs.
We boarded 3 dogs for 2 weeks. They work with each individual dog to make sure they have the best experience possible although away from home. I will always board my dogs here in the future.
Patty is the best! I’ve never used a pet sitter before and was feeling a little anxious about leaving the fur babies while I was away for longer periods of time. She sent me updates/pictures every day and from our first meeting, I could tell she was reliable and an animal lover. I’ve worked with her a couple of times now and feel at peace knowing she’s taking care of my kitties. She is wonderful and I’m so grateful that I found her!
We recently went on vacation and for the first time, our friends/neighbors were not able to care for our dogs. Our older guy, Buddy has never been in a kennel and has very high anxiety. I was so stressed about who was going to take care of them, that I had a difficult time getting excited about our trip. I found a business card for Ponderosa Patty that I got a year ago from our vet, and called her. It was short notice but she was very accommodating and eager to assist. We dropped them off the night before and she and her husband took time to talk with us so we could get to know them, their routine and to be comfortable. We had given Buddy anxiety medication and instructed Patty to give it to him when the shaking started. She constantly sent me pictures of Buddy happy and our other dog Sammy, going for walks, tails wagging. Riding in cars on her husband's lap, laying on them sleeping in their home, etc. Buddy NEVER had to have anxiety meds! They are very calm and loving with the animals and the animals knew it. I am so happy to have found Patty and will happily call her next time we need her. Thank you Patty for giving our dogs so much love and comfort and easing OUR anxieties!
We have taken several trips and have left the care of our dogs, parakeets, and home to Spokane's Best Pet Sitter. Patty is a most professional, trustworthy, and dependable individual who has shown a sincere interest and care for our pets. We received photos almost daily along with any questions or concerns related to our time away. We go away with complete peace of mind and confidence that everything will be taken care of while we are gone. We highly recommend her services.
“Ponderosa Patty is absolutely the best caretaker for our large number of animals we have on this small farm. She has given all of them great care and we feel very comfortable leaving them in her hands when we are out of town. We have 5 horses, 3 cats, 3 chickens, 2 dogs and a handicapped large tortoise as well as a few bee hives. Patty walks the dogs as well as feeding and watering all the animals. I feel very comfortable with her knowledge and skill as an animal caretaker and my dogs love her! She sends us pictures of all of them too which we love! Thank you Patty!!”
A million stars ⭐️! Patty is so trustworthy and loving to my pups! I feel lucky 🍀 that my pups have her when I’m gone. She spoils them and sends me updates everyday❤️ thank you Patty for your care and attention to my dogs and home. I hope you know how amazing and appreciated you are 💕⭐️🙌. …
The name is correct, Patty is the BEST pet sitter in Spokane!! My entire family recently went on vacation together so this was the first time I've ever had to use a pet sitter for my cats and looking for someone on the internet can be scary and daunting. I am SO glad I found Patty! She took such great care of our cats and made sure that even our shy one got some love too. I am SO thankful to have found her, it made our vacation so much more enjoyable knowing our fur babies were well taken care of! Will forever recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter!
“We have used Ponderosa Patty for several years. She is very efficient and my cats LOVE her. When we come home they act like they never noticed we left. She loves on each and every one of them…We had 4 cats and a bunny…and even my cranky old man cat came out for her. She is so flexible with scheduling it makes everything easier. Patty is wonderful! ”
Ponderosa Patty has been so great watching our cat Binx the two times we have used her!! She sends pictures every visit so you can see that your pet is being well taken care of!! I would definitely recommend her and will be using her for our future trips!!
Patty took excellent care of my pup while we were away. She gave regular updates and took extra care to make sure our nervous doggo felt comfortable around her. We will be booking her again for future trips.
Patty was wonderful with my 2 kitties. She accommodated the special needs of the one that is 16. I loved that she sent me pictures and texts each day to keep me informed. She is very easy to communicate with and very responsive to questions. I think her price is very fair for the services she provides which included giving medication to my old girl. Would give her more stars if I could. I know I can travel now with confidence when Patty is taking care of my kitties.
