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!!
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.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
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.
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!
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!
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.
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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, $23/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!
I cannot say enough good things about the care and attention our dog Bentley received from Lake Farm. We have boarded her in many places and have never seen her as happy and calm as when she stayed here. The staff is exceptional and loving and attentive. I recommend them with full faith and confidence.
Such a nice place. Our dog Luna was very happy here. I can't say enough how happy we were with this place. While you can't tour the actual kennels (a common practice at many if not most such places), while standing at the desk, I was able to peek into the kennel area a bit. Each dog appears to have a pretty large and well kept space. Luna also had morning dew on her a few times when we picked her up which made us happy to know that she was getting play time outside. The cost was very reasonable. All of the extras are clearly laid out. Such as additional fees for administering medicine. You can also get your pooch groomed while they are there. We came a few times to pick Luna up and take her to the beach. She was always clean and happy when we would pick her up and when it came time to drop her off, she was actually excited to return. Finally I spoke with to several locals when we walked Luna in the area and I can say that the owners of Lake Farm Kennels are very well known and well regarded in the community.
My dog loved meeting new, kind, dog friends. The staff was warm, patient and loving. A home away from home. Donna was great giving lots of love. My dogs’ first time in a kennel but he didn’t miss me and happy to see his peers . Lots of attention and a great experience! They even have doggie ice cream. Fun time. He had a great vacation. Thank you for everything.
UPDATE TO MY REVIEW After more than 7 months with this negative review posted, only after more than 500 people have read it does the owner place a response that says "this is our policy" Please read my original review below and decide for yourself. I have boarded my dogs there with no problem for about 10 years. Today when I went to pick up my dogs expecting to pay for 2 nights I was charged for 3. I was told that 11am starts a new day. I was there at 1pm. I was surprised and disappointed that this business would be so petty. Even prorating the extra 2 hours I could see but no I was charged the full next day rate. When I voiced my displeasure I was told that is our policy. My husband and I own our own business so we are not unfamiliar with what it takes to run a business but we both agreed we would never treat a customer of ours like that. It did not sit well with us as we were returning from a family funeral. We will no longer be using or recommending this business to anyone. Someone so small should not be rewarded for treating return customer's so poorly.
The staff are extremely professional, friendly, and most importantly loving to the pets they take care of. My dog (45 lb dalmatian/lab) stayed for a full week and she was happy as could be when we picked her up. She also got a bath while she was there and she looks, smells, and feels so fresh! Highly recommend Lake Farm Kennels for your pet!
We loved this place. The COVID situation forced us to find a new solution for boarding our dog while we were in Cape Cod this year. The staff is kind and accommodating. As long as he was there, we had the dog groomed. What a great job! He looks like a new dog. Thanks for making a tough situation a little easier.
My husband took our 7 month old, very active puppy there for 2 days while I was away. Both my husband & the puppy were very pleased with the whole experience. Shorty was more mellow than ever in the evenings.
I just wanted to share how great this group is...: brought my husbands grandmother(Mary) ‘s dog “Diva” in after a long overdue hair cut. They saw how badly she needed a haircut and made sure they could fit her in. Mary called us last weekend and told us Diva is like a new dog! Happy, running around and energetic since we brought her to lake farm. Thank you for taking on Diva and we will be back to bring our dogs!!
Can't say enough good things about Lake Farm. They do an outstanding job at taking care of dogs. Very personalized service...no doubt because it is a family owned business. My dog stayed with them for 3 weeks and she was never so happy.
They do an excellent job grooming my old dog. He's always happy to visit them and looks like a happy little puppy when I pick him up
Dawn is beyond amazing! Our fur babies ( 2 dogs and 2 cats) loved her immediately. She took such good care of all of them in our home while my husband and I were away. She constantly kept us updated and sent pictures. We felt so at ease with Dawn. She really got to know all of them before she sat for us and treates them as of they were her own. Thank you again Dawn for being so wonderful to our kids❤️
Dawn, from Shore Pet Care, did an absolutely wonderful job with our pets! They love her and it was so comforting to get daily pictures and updates. There's no question our animals are better off staying at home with a loving and responsible sitter than going to a kennel. Dawn also took great care of our house. We couldn't be happier with her services.
Dawn and her dog sitting services are the best! She takes incredibly good care of my 2 Boston Terriers, Rosie & Jackie. I have complete confidence in her ability to handle all situations while I’m away. She is able to help out when I have last minute changes in my plans either staying longer with my dogs or returning later to check in on them. Most importantly she has a true love of dogs and it shows!
My dog Peach has really bad separation anxiety, which makes it difficult to find a good petsitter! Dawn is the only one, other than my parents, that I can trust my pup with; She will do whatever Peach needs to feel comfortable which sometimes includes lots of talking to know she is not alone, sitting on the floor with her and lots of snuggles!
Dawn took care of our two very active dogs for a week in our home when we were on vacation. She and her team did a wonderful job. I think the house may have been cleaner than when we left, and the pups were perfectly happy and safe! I highly recommend her.
She was great with my cats while I was away. I recommend her to others who are looking for pet sitters
Well managed, extremely clean and staff is well trained and friendly. My dog grew up in multiple daycare environments and when he comes home from PETiculars he is clean, doesn't smell, and isn't stressed out. You can tell he's well cared for, and has been given individual care and played with. The cost is straight forward with no hidden fees and I love that there are a clear number of staff to dog ratios that makes me feel safe dropping off my dog and know he's being watched closely and not getting lost in a mix. Every holiday it feels like there are adorable "school pictures" shared, and every time I pick my dog up I get a personalized and detailed update on how he did that day from a staff member. If something new is going on, customers are updated by management, and I feel everything is very upfront, straightforward and transparent. Highly recommended!
PETiculars is an amazing daycare for dogs. It is very clean, never overcrowded and the staff is always friendly. There is plenty of space so that dogs with different levels of energy can each do their own thing. Amber enjoys relaxing on a cot in the sunshine while other dogs are running around and having too much fun! Pictures and videos of the dogs are posted throughout the day. Boarding and nail trims are also available.
Best staff!! They treat my pup like family! Very accommodating. 10/10 recommend!
This day care center is excellent! 5 stars across the board, from the owner/operator who goes to the greatest lengths to make sure the dogs are happy, safe, clean, and taken care of from a-z. It is a meticulous, cheery place with an outstanding owner. Can't say enough great things, after many years of experience with the owner...excellent all around.
I took my pup Tobie there many times and he loved it..Last visit was in 2020... I was so glad to see that this business is still doing well..
We love Peticulars The staff is caring and pleasant The facility is accommodating and clean The feedback is always prompt and in detail Always a smile Maggie is happy there
Clean facility. Some of the best staff. Pups are treated like family. Highly recommend.
If you are planning to do dog daycare in Cape Cod during summertime- make sure you reserve a spot few months before. It is a lesson for me to learned. One of my dogs have separate anxiety. It has been stressful for me to leave him home alone. Lucky, I found Peticulars. Owner showed me around their cute daycare first. Workers are so friendly and welcoming. They are very communicative. My level of stress went down to 0%. They spoke highly of my dogs. It’s like they pay attention to my dogs. Also, one of them were able to trim my Teddy’s nails with no problem. My local daycare in my hometown couldn’t do this. Highly recommend! I will be back when I am back to Cape Cod. Thank you!
I spend a lot of time on the Cape with my daughter and grand kids. Our dog is a rescue and we take him everywhere with us. But I needed a place to leave him on days when it is too hot or cold for the car: a place I trusted, a place where he would be properly and well taken care of. I found that place at PETiculars. I called them one morning, went over within the hour to tour the place, and was able to leave my dog that same afternoon for a few hours. He loved it there. And he came home happy and tired. The staff were friendly and informative. They clearly knew dogs. I recommend PETiculars highly. Of course, I'd rather keep them a secret so I can be sure of an open spot for my pup! It is a small facility, so call ahead. These guys are so good, they will become very popular. Prices were very reasonable. One drawback, they don't do overnights right now. Thanks for taking such good care of Sebastian!
We absolutely love Peticulars! Pups (Chloe - a 14 lb. Yorkie and Chaz - a 84 lb Doodle) love coming to play! They don't look back once they go through the doors and guaranteed to be exhausted when they come home! The staff are loving and caring and owner, Linda, is the best! I trust the pups here cause they treat them like our fur babies, with love and care! Highly recommend!
Greta has been going to Derbyfield Kennel for grooming & boarding since September, 2022. I was nervous leaving her there the first time at 14 months old as she had never been away from home. I cannot praise the wonderful staff there enough! Greta loves going there & loves the staff especially Holly! The staff truly love dogs!!
I took my 16 yr old shitzu to Derbyfield 2 wks ago for a grooming. Due to her age, I was a little nervous. I spoke to them about her ahead of time and had a good feeling about this place. Lisa groomed her and did a fantastic job and I knew my little one felt very comfortable. I would highly recommend Derbyfield and many thanks to everyone there for their kindness.
My dog has gone there since a puppy. He gets groomed and stays in kennel when I go away. Everyone there is so friendly and he loves them.
Very nice place to board your pet.
Our dog Harper LOVES Holly and the staff at Derbyfield. His tail starts wagging as soon as we pull in the lot.....and runs to see Holly at the door. He is always so well groomed when we pick him up...We love the fact that he is so happy to be there....we wouldn't go anywhere else.
Derbyfield is amazing. We have been boarding with them for years. Gretchen ( princess) and Marbles are always warmly welcomed and well taken care of. Holly and her staff are amazing and they take great care of our babies. I can't thank them enough for all they do. Derbyfield is by far the best place to take your pets for grooming, training, and boarding.
They treated my dog, Nell well & with obvious care. She was very happy & calm after her visit.
I am so impressed with Derbyfield. My rescue dog Tess is not good with other dogs and slow to warm up ti people. They had her in for a day to see if it would work which it did. Last week I had an out-of-town family emergency and they took her in although the kennel was full. All the staff is so kind to her that she heads in tail wagging and comes home tired but happy. Holly is a great manager and truly loves and understands dogs.
Derbyfield Kennel is the best place on Cape Cod, trustworthy to entrust your pets. Holly, the manager, is wonderful as are all the staff. We have just picked up our newest family member after a week at Derbyfield, and Grace is sound asleep here in the car... happy as a clam.
My dog Brooks stayed at Derbyfield Kennel for a week while I traveled. He was well taken care of and a happy dog. The staff is awesome and truly care for the animals. The facilities are very clean and organized. Derbyfield Kennel will be Brooks second home when I travel. I highly recommend Derbyfield Kennel.
