Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
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!
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.
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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!
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, $10/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!
Furry Friends Boarding and Spa, more specifically, Victoria were a God send to my family. We had booked a trip to the Great Wolf Lodge and arranged to have our dog boarded at our local boarding facility. Earlier in the week we found hurricane Helene was expecting to hit the panhandle. I inquired with our boarder again they told it was no problem Butter could stay and there would be someone watching over the animals the whole time. I showed up to check Butter in and they refused him. I couldn't find anywhere else that would take him. That is when I thought to find a place in Lagrange. I called Furry Friends and Victoria. She was more than willing to take Butter in with proof of vaccinations. I asked her what time they close and she said 5. We were going to make it closer to 6. She was more than willing to accommodate us. So luck would have it we had a flat tire. Got that handled and told Victoria it would be 7:30. She told us to relax and she will be there whatever time we need. Butter settled in quickly and loved his stay. Victoria and Furry Friends Boarding and Spa our family can't thank you enough! This is what good customer service is all about!
It was short notices when I called to see if they had space for my buddy. Not only did they have a great space for him, I was amazed of the love and care they gave him. And the ones he allowed to do his nails. I was given valuable information concerning the day care I hope will be good for him to get him to be somewhat social.
The facility is very clean. Victoria is wonderful with our cat! She gives all animals special attention.
Katie is amazing! She took on my 3 dogs no problem for bathing and grooming. Any thing you need done she can do and she’s so sweet! Love this place
I've been taking my Pitbull here for a couple of months now and they do an amazing job taking care of him while I'm out of town! Very friendly staff and clean environment. Highly recommended!
If I could give them a 0 star I would, they dont even deserve one star. I didnt have a chance to even take my dog to get groomed, something came up a day before my appointment & they still tried to charge my card for less than 48 hour notice. they were closed sunday so i called first thing Monday morning & still tried to charge me $26 but my card was locked then tried again today for 1$ to see if it would go through. 0/10 do not recommend. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR CARD INFO. i will NEVER do that again
They treated my cat like family. The facility was clean and secure. I felt very safe leaving her with them. The staff was very friendly and prompt with answering my questions. It was very easy making my reservation too.
My dog stayed for 5 days. The younger girl whom worked on Thursday, was wonderful! She is the sole reason for 4 stars. Helped me with last minute arrangements for boarding our sweet dog. However, when we picked him up, another worker admitted they did not bathe him, as I requested for their bathing services, 5 days prior. That was a little disappointing..
Nobody was there when I arrived to pick up my dogs. I called 5 times with no answer. Finally called the after hours number and the man answering said he “didn’t know anybody was picking up today”. I had to wait 45 minutes for an employee to arrive. I was there within their hours of operation from 8:00-5:00. I arrived at 3:45 and nobody showed up until 4:30. One of my dogs peed so much when we got outside of the building that it had to have been hours since he had been let out last.
Everyone is so friendly and treat my Luna great when she is there!!
We are brand new to the area and brought our Giant Schnauzer here for the first time. She went in looking like a bear cub and came out looking like a dog again! We also had our Goldendoodle groomed there. I had hand surgery and wasn't able to keep up on his high maintenance hair. They weren't judgemental (bc doodle parents have a stigma of not caring for their coats) and did a great job of not making him look like naked dog! Our Mini Schnauzer is scheduled for his first cut with them next week! The staff is super friendly and their prices are very reasonable. I definitely recommend them!
My baby dog loves going here. He gets playtime and his grooming done. The employees are sweet and wonderful.
My dog has been going to daycare here for the past year and she LOVES it. The staff is so caring and they go above and beyond to care for their clients!
i called & asked about daycare for my baby & they said they don’t take bully breeds. this to me is heartbreaking. my baby is so gentle & kind. if you run a dog resort, it’s unfair to pick what dogs you choose to house. if the problem is size, pair them dogs their size, but not accepting a dog because he’s a bully is so sad. also, the price for a bath for him was absolutely ridiculous. over $65 dollars for a simple bath & ear cleaning?? that’s insane.
I called the week prior to my appointment on March 13 and went through the available days and booked an appointment for grooming on my off day. The associate made me aware that the vet would need to send vaccination records. I received a call on the 11th to let me know the next available appointment will be on the 19th and they received the vaccination records. I explained that I had already been through this process and I scheduled my appointment on my off day. Their response was “I'm not sure who made the first appointment”, but they called back later and said its okay for me to bring my dog on the 13th. When I get there on the 13th an associate at the front desk notify me that my dog doesn't have his bordetella vaccine and it's required and once again “she doesn't know who made the appointment and why after receiving the vet records no one told me.” This is unprofessional and there is a need for effective communication and structure.
I went out of town for Memorial Day and wanted to leave my 2 kitties with a Loving and Respectful place. Pet Pooch is that. I'm sure animal parents understand how important it is to have your babies taken care of. They were wonderful. I feel very comfortable leaving them there in the future.
I took him for bath on Wednesday and he was still dirty. I tried to bring it their attention by taking him back the same day. Later that night he was lethargic and wouldn't eat or drink not even his favorites he acted as if he was afraid of food I don't know if they gave him or not but it was strange. Friday he was his usual self I took him in manager tried convince me that the dirt on him doesn't come off. She was rude. If you love your dog don't take it to them.
We've been boarding our babies here for several years. We've always had a great experience and our dogs get excited each time we pull into the parking lot. The dogs seem to get plenty of play time as they both come home and sleep for hours upon hours everytime we pick them up. The staff is the best! Thank you!
Been going there with our babies for a couple of years very nice ladies and will cut exactly what want!
Our dogs stayed here for 10 days over the Christmas holiday. The customer service was very good and scheduling was efficient. The problem began at drop off. When we arrived, I expected to hear dogs barking and to smell them. But this was next level loud and very smelly. When we picked the dogs up they were both soaking wet (it had been raining for days). When I asked why I was told that they wouldn't come in out of the rain. I live with these dogs, they hate going out in the rain. I left there and immediately had to take them for a bath as they were soaking wet and dirty. I will not be returning.
