Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
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!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
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.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
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.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
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.
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $25 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!
If organized, safety, professionalism, cleanliness, and honesty are things you are looking for in a place to keep your pets, I would suggest looking else where. We recently had our dog boarded here with the idea that she would be safe. Unfortunately, we picked her up looking like she just survived being outside while we were gone for 7 days. She was given to us with a large gash on her nose that was still bleeding and looked like it was scabbed over which means it did not just happen. Also she entered the kennel at 32lbs and when she left she was a mere 27 lbs. Seeing her bleeding from the nose, filthy, and practically skin and bones is something we never excepted. I called to make sure she was okay while we were away and the owner of the kennel said she was just fine. If these are his standards for keeping his business open, I highly suggest closing it down. Please, if you even remotely love your pet in any way, do not pay any amount of money for them to stay here.
Great people and great with all your pets. Best place we put our little dog. Very nice place and the owner was really nice. Will definitely be bringing him back there.
I was disappointed. We got our baby Charlie from there and we have boarded him there lists of time. We went to drop him off Saturday and no one was there. We waited an hour and no one showed up.
Lovely people. Buy unfortunately the place had a dreadful smell and my kitties had diarrhea and vomited for three days when they got back. Shame as the place looked nice in the pictures.
Fred and Steve were so kind and gentle with my fur baby. I was in need of help to get my dog from Newfoundland to Ontario and they helped me by providing a comfortable place for my dog to stay while he waited for his flight. They took great care of my dog and even brushed and cut his nails. They even helped me out by driving the dog to the airport and making sure everything was in order. My dog stayed with them for 4 nights and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place. Thanks Fred and Steve. Rover is now home with me and we are so grateful for all that you do.
Great place to board your dog!!
One of the best dog daycare/boarding facilities that I have had the pleasure of doing business with. My dog has moderate separation anxiety, which can make both vacations and certain appointments difficult to schedule, but the people at Markwin make him feel so loved! He is always excited to go to daycare he starts whining as soon as we pull into the driveway. Most of the employees know the dogs and the owners very well. My dog has to take two separate medications and when we went on our honeymoon last year they had no issues giving the medications and making sure he was well taken care of. They even post photos of the dogs on the Facebook group so if you send them to boarding you can always check in. The staff is always so friendly and helpful and I don't plan on using another dog daycare ever again!
Markwin is incredible! They loved our dog like she was their own. A very fun and welcoming team... We feel very lucky to have found them!
After our dog had a rather negative experience at another daycare, Markwin has been such a phenomenal experience. You can tell they're very knowledgeable and that the dogs are well cared for and supervised by the staff. Additionally they have been great with grooming Hazel, and we look forward to the updates at the end of the day with how her day went and who she was playing with.
I bring my dog Cash there at least once a week sometimes twice a week, he loves his friends at Markiwin, The brown and white one is my dog Cash.
The best crew, my dog absolutely LOVES going there.
The only place I would send my dog.
The staff is very friendly and my dog loves going here. They always greet him by name and take and post pictures during the day so I can see how much fun he is having. I feel confident that he is safe and well cared for when he is at Markwin!
Wonderful knowledgeable staff, clean and air conditioned facility, our American Eskimo male dog loves his home away from home there! In our opinion best option for boarding care for all pets. Highly recommended!
A very caring and nurturing doggie daycare. Pets are loved and well taken care of. This is the only place we would take our dogs.
I can't say enough great things about Markwin...their service and staff get very high marks from me. My God has been going there for 7 years now and they take great care of him, whether for daycare or boarding.
My dog was bitten 2 days after placing her there. No contact from them about the incident when reported to them. Kennel was too small for her, not a good experience. Use caution.
Awesome place . Definitely recommend ..
Our dog absolutely loves it. Friendly staff, great rates, and our dog comes home all nice and tired.
I wouldn't put my baby with anyone else. Amazing, amazing staff. They take care of my pup, as if he was one of their own. They go above and beyond to accommodate your needs. The PupBus service is a blessing. I use it often. When they come to my home, I tell my pup he's going with his friends and gets so excited to see them. Top notch service.
We love Repuplic pets! We’ve availed of almost every service they offer so far and have never been disappointed. You can trust your pet is in good hands, with the caring staff, they always try to send updates and pictures through their stay. The convenience of the PUP bus takes the added stress out of our day knowing our pup is getting the exercise and attention she needs while we’re at work or away. Kelsey has put together a great team and is always accommodating, we wouldn’t send our pup anywhere else!
I am so incredibly happy to have found Republic Pets for our boarding needs. I have had bad experiences in the past but have only amazing things to say about this place. They never leave the dogs by themselves which is super important to me. They always provide me with updates when my puppy is in for an extended period. They are very easy to work with. And will do anything they can to help. I would recommend them always to anyone who asks
Exceptional service at Repuplic Pet!! Staff are experienced and very knowledgeable! My pup loves going to the dog park and being dropped off for a few hours to play while I go shopping! I would not trust my pup any place else! When I leave my boy,it's like leaving him with family!!🐾❤️🐾 …
Kind and knowledgeable staff! The facility itself is great, and they really make an effort to make your dog comfortable and have a positive experience.
It’s Minnie’s favourite place 💜 …
Great workers, and the dog seems to love it.
All the staff are so friendly, highly recommend 😊 …
Great spot, great staff, and my dog has a blast!
If you’re looking for the absolute best care for your 4 legged family member, look no further than Katrina and Jordan (along with their staff) at Habitat Professional Pet Care. Stormy has been a client for a few years, and she absolutely loves her stays 🐾 Daily updates (with pictures) give peace of mind knowing your pooch is getting the best care!! They go above and beyond for your pet ❤️ Highly recommend!!!
our beagle gabby was happy, so we were happy,the staff our extremely friendly and knowledgeable gabby took to them right away that means alot we will definitely be back in the future, Gabby thanks you both
Great Folks at this kennel. We use the daycare quite frequently. Leaving the Labs there and go about your day with no worries. Awesome !!
Excellent service. My senior beagle was treated very well. I would like to extend my special thanks to all the staff who toke care of scooby. He loved going there, always got the extra attention and care needed. Unfortunately I my boy passed away on Saturday. It is a big loss he was my partner and best friend for 12 years. Best kennel in st John's. Take care
I was a customer of this place. Had a bad experience and left. But recently I had somethings come up and had to bring my dog back here. After talking to.one of my friends who informed me of a new employee who is very good with the animals I decided to try it again. I was very pleased with this very impressive young lady who gave me a good feeling about leaving my dog in her care. Don't know what her last name is but her first name was Tina. Keep up the good work.
The staff at Topsail Star genuinely love animals and are experts I trust to consult about anything wild or wonderful that may arise with my dog. Topsail Star offers multi-service discounts - receive 10% off when you purchase a 10-day daycare pass. Staff have even given my dog a bath when she has gotten excessively dirty while at daycare! I believe staff at Topsail Star go above and beyond and I would whole-heartedly recommend their daycare program!
First time using this Kennel to board my dog while we were out of town. A few days later they called me with the distressing news that she was on her side and not getting up. They rushed her to the vet. My dog had bloat (not in any way caused by the Kennel) this is a life threatening condition that kills dogs within hrs and can leave them impacted for life. Because the staff caught this condition so quickly my dog has survived surgery and should have no lasting damage to her digestion or active life. I am forever grateful.
We were nervous about leaving our new rescue here, but were quickly put at ease by the staff who clearly care about the dogs in their care. They occasionally post pics in a facebook group of dogs in the daycare, which you can opt for if your dog is in boarding. We'll be back next time we need to board.
Very upset and uphappy with our experience at TopsailStar Pet Center. Being the first day that we brought our lab puppy, Rosie, who is 4 months, we were eager to see how the day would go. She is an incredibly social, playful puppy who has spent many days in daycare in Torbay and loves to play at the dog park here in the Goulds. She will play with big and small dogs, and she has a lot of energy. Upon arrival, we were assured that Rosie would be grouped according to dogs' size and energy, and that there would always be someone watching. When we arrived to pick her up this evening, at 6:00, the girl brought Rosie out on her leash saying "Um, so, Rosie seems to have hurt her leg and has a real bad limp, she's yelping and really favoring that paw, I had to carry her in." Needless to say, no one was able to explain to me when or how this happened. I was told that more than likely, it was due to it being her first day at this center and she had run around and played a lot. Or, it could have been around 4:00 when they had to round up the other dogs. I explained that I was really upset that no one had thought to call or notify me. I honestly cannot understand how they couldn't have noticed (as they claimed), seen as how Rosie is unable to walk. When asked if I should take her to the vet now, the owner told me "I wouldn't say NOT to take her." I wasn't offered any type of apology, explanation, compensation, or sympathy, really. We were really bothered by the whole exchange and experience, and it really seemed like there was a lack of understanding or appreciation for the situation. Unfortunately, it will certainly be our first and last visit at TopsailStar.
Very caring. They let you know how your dog did each day.
Friendly staff and takes great care of our cat. Very good hours for pick up and drop off, great price for the service.
Have only used the grooming service so far but already love this spot. Alyssa is amazing at what she does and the place always looks great. Am excited to try boarding for my pup and maybe daycare.
