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!
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.
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!
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
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!
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!
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her 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, $21/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!
Lisa is the best we have taken our dog to Newbury Bark for years. I highly recommend!
Friendly. Love pr dog as if it was their own
The staff at Doggy Den are the best! From the phone call to the evaluation the next day, the service was perfect. These women love what they do, and you can tell that by how they do it. Our dog, Washington, had a blast and came home exhausted. We love the Doggy Den!
Really disappointed by our latest visit to the doggy den. My husband accidentally dropped off the food with our dogs food bowls, and mysteriously they weren’t able to find them. More importantly, our dog returned with a pink eye and had lost 1 to 2 pounds. When asking about their food protocol, I was shared a staff member would have had my husband who did the drop off fill out a form specifying how much food to provide our dog: this did not happen. In trying to call back to share this so that their staff members know to ask the food portions, the staff member wouldn’t answer my call. I would not trust leaving my dog here again. When attempting to share our experience the staff member would not acknowledge that my dog had lost weight in their care. Poor customer service and a $350 bill, but more importantly if they aren’t asking how much to feed your dog, if something were to truly go wrong during your dogs stay, this is not a business I would you want to have to deal with. For anyone coming back to this facility make sure they ask how much to feed your dog.
Following up to the owner’s response to my wife’s post ( Brittany Glant) as google wouldn’t allow me to reply to Ana’s message. We picked up our dog, Fiona, on Wednesday evening, and immediately contacted the owner on the same day, and today (Saturday) to address our concerns. So, contrary to the owner’s claim, we did not wait a week before reaching out. When I first saw Fiona, I didn’t notice any immediate physical changes, but after picking her up today and weighing her, it became clear that she had lost approximately 2 pounds during her stay. As a responsible business owner, it would have been more professional to acknowledge the situation rather than respond defensively and dismissively. I would have appreciated it if you had simply acknowledged that you didn’t ask us how much to feed our dog when we dropped her off, which I understand is part of your process. That alone would have resolved the matter. Additionally, we were never informed that Fiona had a pink eye during her stay until we noticed it ourselves and called to inquire, which you clarified that it was from the shampoo. Thank you for that. As pet owners, we place a great deal of trust in businesses to care for our animals, and it’s reasonable to expect empathy and transparent communication. Instead, we were met with defensiveness and unprofessionalism when we attempted to share our feedback. We reached out multiple times later but our calls were ignored. It’s disheartening to see this is not an isolated incident, as other reviews reflect similar experiences. The way you handle customer concerns speaks volumes about your business, and unfortunately, based on both our experience and others’ feedback, it seems your response to customer concerns often lacks professionalism and empathy. This could have been resolved with a simple acknowledgment of the situation, but instead, it has led to unnecessary frustration. I hope you take this feedback to heart and consider adopting a more customer-focused approach in the future. Wishing you the best moving forward.
I just moved to the area and took my English bulldog Gracie here. Blown away. The staff clearly care about our babies - AND they were taking evacuated dogs from the fires. Very impressed and can’t wait for Gracie to go back and see her friends!
My dogs are very high spirited & the staff at Doggy Den can handle them. Fortunately, They play well with other dogs so boarding works out well for us. We can go on long vacations and know that our dogs are safe and well cared for… Anne did training with them years ago & we were very happy with the results.
Our Australian Cattle Dog rescue has some separation anxiety issues but taking him regularly to day care has been helpful. The staff is so good with him; they patiently (& enthusiastically) answer my “how’d he do today” questions!
My mini golden doodle, Fifi, has been coming here for the past year and she loves it! She is always super excited when she is dropped off. The staff is very professional. Kalina from day one has been so great always greeting Fifi with excitement. I always recommend The Doggy Den to friends!
Great place to board your beloved pup. My corgi never seems excited to leave when I pick him up (doesn’t he miss me?!?!) and he’s always happy to return. Plus he always seems “well fed” when he gets picked up and he’s doted on by the staff. Never had any issues and the entire staff is full of dog lovers who are more than willing to cater to reasonable dog-specific needs.
We can not recommend Doggy Den enough! The staff is very qualified and knowledgeable. Excellent facility for day care, boarding and training. The dogs are well cared for, happy and love coming here. Our first experience boarding our dog here changed my mind about dog boarding and daycare. I am looking forward to bringing our dog for regular daycare as it was such a positive experience for her!
My pup is super high energy and can be a handful at times. I love that every time we've taken him here he is welcomed by a loving staff. And I know he likes the place because he ends up running to the door waiting for it to be opened.
