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.

Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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!
We have just used Paula's Pet Sitting service for the first time with 3 of our whacky kitties, and it was the least stressful absence we've EVER had! It's so nice to have the peace of mind that everything is taken care of and to be able to see and read that all the critters are acting normally. Thank you so much, team! We will be sorely disappointed to ever live somewhere without this service.
We have used Paula's Pet Sitting for over 2 years now and taken advantage of the wide range of services they offer. They are always flexible with our ever changing schedule and always go above and beyond to make sure our fur baby is taken care of. Another great feature is the time to pet app that they use. Everyday I get an update with pictures of how our little fur baby is doing during her visit. The pet sitters are always professional and always respond quickly to questions and schedule changes. I would highly recommend using Paula's Pet Sitting for all your pet sitting needs.
I have only used them a few times so far but HIGHLY recommend!!! My friends first showed me how to get a pet sitter with an app while I was away visiting them and I loved the idea so I could set up times without having to call. When my one of my other friends told me about Paula's Pet Sitting it was exactly what I wanted! Unlike Rover and Wag you get to meet your team and that was extremely important to me. They came, saw where we kept pet items in the house, and met me and my pups. When they came both times, they were fantastic! They let you know when they have arrived, and then at the end they send you pictures of their visit as well as a message letting you know how it went. It is so nice to have finally found a pet sitter I feel comfortable with and with many options to use (dog walks, mid day let outs, overnights, etc.). Again, I HIGHLY recommend them.
I brought home a 6 week old puppy and hated leaving him alone during the day. Driving home on my lunch break daily was not a sustainable plan. A friend recommended Paula's pet sitting and I am so pleased I contacted them! My puppy gets visits twice a day and loves each woman on the team that is assigned to him. They refresh his water, prep Kong toys, replace soiled potty pads, and send me a report with pictures after each visit. I am still working on training and the ladies work along with me. If I require the dog sits before a gate is opened, they do the same. If I reward my puppy for relieving himself in the correct place, they do to. I don't have to worry that visits are counteracting the training. If you are considering using a pet sitter- go with Paula's!
We used to avoid travelling because it was so uncomfortable asking friends and neighbors to care for our cat while we were gone and the cat would get upset and pee on the carpets. With Paula's we know our pets routine is as normal as possible so they're happy when we get back. They even water our plants and come at 12 hr intervals to administer meds to our 17 yr old cat.
We have moved to Midland in 2018 we needed to travel shortly there after. We are so lucky to have found Paula’s Petsitting. Without her and her staff it would’ve been very difficult to go on trips and feel assured that our “hairy “children are very well taken care of. Before moving here we used to “board “ our Pets and having them at home in their own environment is such a reassuring thing. Thank you for giving us peace of mind !
We hired Paula's pet sitting on 2 different occasions now. Their service is outstanding. The pet sitters are going above and beyond at each visit, they will check everything and keep you informed every step of the way. Last minute requests are responded to within minutes. Will definitely continue to use.
We planned a trip and three months before we left, decided to get two more westies, in addition to our four year old. We have only left the four year old with family members, but with two puppies, thought it would be best to keep their routine at home. Our vet recommended Paula's and the experience was wonderful! Daily updates and pictures made our vacation so much more enjoyable, knowing our boys were at home, playing in their own yard and sleeping in their own beds. Gigi did a wonderful job with the dogs and answered every question I had while we were gone!
Paula's Pet Sitting provides excellent care and recreation for my crazy cat, while providing me with peace of mind. And that is all I ask. I receive 'real time' reports and photos, which when shared with others always evokes the same response: "I don't get that kind of service from my pet sitter!" I will continue to use this service and confidently recommend it to others.
We are so happy to have found Paula's Pet Sitting! Paula and Amy take great care of our older dog, who is beginning to experience some health issues. It's comforting to know that she is in good hands when we are away from home!
Exceptional service. The kennel caretakers genuinely care about each and every dog left in their care. They pay attention to each dog, treating them as if they were their own pet. My dog is very anxious and they were able to accommodate his needs.. Will be using Rainbow Kennels for all future boarding needs.
First time kenneling our dogs. They were perceptive to the needs of our dogs. Kennel is very clean. We would definitely use them again!
Always have the best interest of our pets in mind, we go back everytime we need boarding for our three labs.
Took my dogs there for the spay neuter express and was talking to a worker from the kennel and they were very nice and loving toward a mastiff who had only been there 2 days. If they didn't care about the animals then they would not be IN the fence with this beautiful massif mastiff. They care for ALL the needs of the animals!!!
Local family owned and operated. More of a home-style, comfortable atmosphere. Pets get love and attention plus extra care, exercise, and/or grooming upon request.
They treat your dog as their own they take time to exercise them my dog was very happy when I went to pick him up great facility very nice people I recommended this place to any dog owner
Great place and they treat your pets well. Very friendly!
First time for Ava to be in a kennel and she did great. People were friendly and kennel was warm and clean.
Have taking my dog Marlo there a couple times. Very reliable and they try their best to accommodate your fur baby.
Pups had a good almost two week stay. They came back healthy.
We are so thankful for Dog Haven Ranch! We have a 5 month old GSP and he loves "going to see his friends". They keep him on routine, he gets lots of exercise, love, and socialization.
Yikes. I don't have a pit or a pit mix, however I work with a lot professionally. From my experience, any "kennel" or dog care service that refuses care to them, is because they don't actually have the ability, licensing, insurance, or experience to control any unruly dogs or work with them in any safe capacity when thijgs happen. And trust me, things happen. 7 years of training and boarding, I have had 9 pit/pitmixes who have had issues, yet there was never a bad outcome because we are prepared and educated. The other breeds I have worked with that had major aggression issues we had to accomedate; I kept a list starting about 4 months in. This list began when I had a golden retriever in my care that the owners did not warn had bowl aggression, even a while after finishing the meal. That dog taught me so much, and truly sparked my passion for rehabbing dogs and giving those who are struggling special attention. The list is in no particular order; every time a new breed acted aggressively towards a human, other dog, or both, we wrote the breed down and then just tallied next to any prior breeds. 11 Goldens, 9 Australian shepherds, 22 shepherds/malinois, 2 collies (one rough one smooth), 1 coonhound, 13 shepherd/mal mixes, 1 carolina dog, 2 Akitas, 14 beagles, 7 Shiba, 1 plotthound, 13 shih tzus, 2 dalmatians, 18 labs, 4 border collies, 9 huskies, 1 Italian greyhound, 2 great Pyrenees, 1 jack russel, 1 Rottweiler, 2 pomeranians, one maltipoo, 11 doodles (of all kinds), 3 dobermans, 4 bullies, 2 Australian cattle dogs, 1 bouvier, 1 giant schnauzer, 1 pointer, 1 löwchen, 1 newfoundland, 2 vikhan,
Adopted a dog that was one year old and had some socialization issues. Ryan, Amy, and their staff worked with him a great deal, and I am very grateful to them. My dog is older now, and the kids went off to college, and my dog loves when I send him there! It really helped him cope with all of the changes in our house. He's always happy to go, and is more at peace throughout the week.
Thanks to Dog Haven I can work and not feel guilty about leaving my dog in her crate all day! It really goes beyond just that, my dog Ladybug is VERY energetic. She gets her need for play and exercise met completely at day care while I work. She just about pulls my arm off to get into the door of Dog Haven. In the morning either Ryan or Amy are there to take her back to see her friends, and she jumps all over them like they are part of our family. They have been great about giving feedback on her behavior and interaction with other dogs, which I really appreciate since she came to me through a foster situation. I am confident when I introduce Ladybug to new dogs that she is well socialized because of her time with Ryan and Amy, their great staff, and of course all of her doggy friends at Dog Haven. A friend (who's dalmatian goes there) recommended Dog Haven to me. I would definitely pass the favor on and recommend this doggy day care to all of my fellow dog lovers!
We have taken our dogs to Dog Haven Ranch for 10 years - all have loved their time there. Ryan and Amy and all of the staff are so good with the dogs. My dog gets so excited when we arrive, he can't wait to play with his buddies.
This is a great dog day care and overnight boarding place in Midland. The dogs get actual exercise and they will groom and wash them. The dogs start to get excited when we turn into the parking lot as opposed to other places where they get anxious about being dropped off. Matt runs the dogs during the day so they get in their exercise and fun.
We love Dog Haven! My dogs been going for years and she absolutely loves it! Everyone there is super nice and you can tell they really love all the dogs. Thank you for making Roxi feel so welcome!
DogHaven is such a friendly place to bring dogs! The owners treat each dog as if it's their own. I cannot tell you how comfortable I am leaving my Springer in their care and she always comes home exhausted!
One of the few places our pup is comfortable around other dogs. Ryan and Amy treat these dogs like their own. Thank you for taking in our grumpy boy and helping us to socialize him!
My pup leaves daycare in a calm and happy state of mind, unlike another daycare that I sent him to once. He is super excited to be there and happy to see me at the end of the day.
My 7 month labradoodle puppy loves going to daycare here. Angela takes great care of her and keeps me posted on things and updates me throughout the day. She definitely takes pride in her business and cares about her customers. I highly suggest this kennel to anyone that is looking for a great doggie daycare or overnight care!
First time at the kennel. I was very nervous about leaving our fur babies there for a long weekend. Glenn and April were very warm and welcoming. 2nd time the furbabies were excited when we pulled in the drive. Finally met Angela again she was very warm and welcoming.Prices were great. We definitely will be back. ❤️
Charges too much and the 2nd time we took our dogs she didn't even wash them and charged us. They didn't smell clean or look or feel clean. Wanted to charge me 60.00 per dog, we have huskies and a morkie. Found great place in Beaverton
Loving caring people who will care for your furbaby like their own. Highly recommend
5 Gold Stars! Angela from Golden Paws Kennels is the best. She is great to communicate with and even sent me photos and videos of my new puppy, Floki, while we watched her grow. I thought it was such a nice idea to give Floki a comforting blanket that smelled of her Mom and siblings too. I highly recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a doberman puppy.
A couple years back we had unexpectedly had to get our dogs Nova and Abby out of the house temporarily and Golden Paws here did amazing and took them in last minute! When we picked them up they had the happiest of smiles on their faces! I would totally recommend taking your dogs here if you need someone to watch over them
Well taken care of pets, busy place, very helpful for emergency care needed to board pets. Angela and Glen good people
We recently moved to the area and needed to find a kennel for our dog while we were out of town. I was very disappointed with our experience. When we went to pick him up they told us he ran out of food but never contacted us about it before picking him up so we could remedy the situation, so he came home with an upset stomach. They had no idea which one was our dog, but also made comments about how he has been there before when we hadn’t. When we got him home we found a wound on his paw that we weren’t told about either. We will not use this kennel again.
It only takes a couple of minutes to see that they love all the dogs in their care. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog there for a week. When we got home, he went right to bed. That means they gave this puppy plenty of activity to wear himself out (which takes a lot for a 1yo lab). We will definitely use them again!!
We’ve boarded our dog at Golden Paws for over a year. Glen and Angela have always treated us and our dog like family. I couldn’t recommend a local business more than this one. 5 stars.
