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.

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
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!
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.
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
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!!:)
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!
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me 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 $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!
We highly recommend Rachel if you are looking for an excellent petsitter. She is the first pet sitting service we used for our 2 cats. We typically just relied on our family and friends so we were a bit nervous using a service, especially since we were going to be out of the country. The minute we met Rachel at the meet and greet we knew we made a good choice. She has such a calm and patient demeanor and you can tell she really loves animals. She was reliable and kept in constant contact with us during our vacation and sent us updates everyday. We felt so relaxed knowing our boys were under such great care back at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!
Rachel is great! Knowledgeable and caring pet care. I know my special needs (medical and behavior) dogs are in good hands
My doodle Oakley absolutely adores paw print inn. It’s his favorite place in the entire world, he adores the staff and literally wiggles with excitement the second we walk through the door. He has so much fun everytime he’s there. I also …
Lisa is kind and caring as a groomer. She does a great job on Grace who is very frisky. When you check in you are greeted in a professional and friendly matter. Hats off to the Paw Print Inn!. We love them! Today August 21st Lisa did an outstanding job! We were greeted in a friendly manner at the desk. Grace and I love The Paw Print Inn!
I needed to find a place to board my girl Tessa over the holidays and Paw Print Inn had availability. They were easy to book with and communicate processes over the phone or online. Drop off was simple and pick up also went smoothly. Tessa seemed to enjoy her time and we're looking forward to her next visit. - I've been making the drive to board here since our first visit. I still find the processes easy and the staff friendly and knowledgeable. They also communicate well to clients with information all throughout the lobby. I always seem to forget the drop off and pickup times and staff have been patient every time I've called to verify. My only critique is that I wish they would use the Gingr app instead of Yourgi as our profiles (and everything on the internal backend) are in Gingr.
My poor baby. He’s only 20weeks old :( We just wanted a summer cut.
I have been taking my dogs to Paw Print Inn for several years. I use to have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. However, my interaction with the onsite staff manager today had me so uneasy I will NEVER take any of my pets here again. I went to drop my dog off for daycare today and was reprimanded for scheduling his daycare appointment the night before(mind you the request was approved this morning prior to me dropping him off). There is nothing on the website saying there’s a cutoff time to make a reservation and the system allows you to still make the request. I understand you have to wait for the request to be approved, but mine was approved prior to me dropping my dog off. I couldn’t seem to understand why I was being spoken down to and reprimanded for making the request. To make matters worse she not only treated me poorly she treated my 8 month old puppy poorly by yelling at him before they took him back. I called back after drop off to speak to the manager about my interaction I had this morning only to find out the woman who reprimanded me was the onsite manager! Her manner towards me and how she treated my dog in front of me left me so uneasy it makes me wonder how she treats him behind closed doors, and the fact that it was coming from management made everything so much worse. I left work within a half hour from dropping him off to pick him up because I was that uncomfortable with his treatment.I will never bring one of my dogs here again. So I leave this review as a cautionary tale. When you leave your furry family members you expect that they’ll be taken care of and treated properly that is not the case at the Paw Print Inn.
I have brought my terrier to Paw Print Inn for boarding and grooming for a few years now. Coming to Novi is inconvenient and out of the way for me but I would not trust another boarding company as much. The professionalism and welcome starts upon entry from all the staff & ends the same way. I would highly recommend either boarding or grooming here.
Pretty impressed by our visit to Paw Print. Our little man, Elvis, was quite a mess going in but came out looking super handsome. The staff were very friendly, prices were reasonable, and I look forward to heading back there for our next grooming.
Thank you so much to Sara for taking such great care of my feisty little Cupcake. I appreciate your kindness and extra efforts to ensure Cici had a low stress experience with her heart condition. Thank you again!!!
Left my 6 months old golden doodle for 3 nights and the experience was horrible: -no camera access and I doubt they made him play much -they said he wasn’t neutered so they couldn’t keep him with a female dog but their west coast room was completely empty plus they could have switched the female dog with my puppy once in a while -there is no one at the center after 7 PM, no one on rounds to give the dogs what they want -they were literally out of business even a day before Memorial Day weekend.. if you must book this place, advance booking will not be needed -Try canine college, my dog loves the attention there plus their checkin / checkout times are flexible. This place is not worth the $10/ less they take for 24 hours
My dog Lacey goes to daycare and (when needed) is also boarded at the Paw Print Inn when I vacation. She enjoys playtime with the other dogs and recognizes the drive there by whining as we get closer 😄. I also have her groomed there and she’s a pretty girl when I pick her up 😊. I used the Paw Print Inn for my previous dog (who has since passed away), so I knew Lacey would do well there too.
