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.
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.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
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.
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.
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 was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
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, $15/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!
After using the pet nanny I do not trust anyone else to watch my dog! She is so sweet and I can see the love and care that she has for my baby. Very professional and cares immensely about her all of clients. Do business with the pet nanny you won’t be sorry!
There’s NO other person I trust with my fur babies except the Per Nanny. My fur baby suffers from separation anxiety and it is a struggle to find someone willing and happy to accommodate her needs. She is gentle and attentive to details and she makes being away from them a breeze. Her communication is above and beyond expectation. I recommend her above all
I have used The Pet Nanny for various pet services & have always had exceptional experiences. The negative reviews posted above appear to be a result of personal issues and don’t belong here. What I can say is that The Pet Nanny loves & cares for all animals she comes in contact with. She listens carefully to any special needs/requests & treats pets with love and kindness. I’ve never had an issue with her entering our home while we were away to attend to the pets. Please don’t allow these slanderous reviews to hinder the prosperity and success of this hard-working small business owner. She certainly loves animals & would never harm them. Ask for references, she has a long list of satisfied customers!
My experience with the Pet Nanny was superb! She went above and beyond to care for my pet kitten. My kitten did not want to come home, he wanted to stay. She is a professional, and “pet whisperer”, I strongly recommend her services to other people who are in need of a pet sitter!
She took amazing care of my baby kane. He didn't even want to come home. Thank you for all that you done for my fur baby
I absolutely loved the experience. This was my first time using a private sitter and let me tell you she was sooo engaging, patient , and Made sure to keep me updated on my dog-daughter. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Absolutely amazing!!! My little Baji gets spoiled rotten! He loves The Pet Nanny and so do I! There isn’t another person I leave my baby with when I’m out of town!
Great customer service! My dog was well taken care of by Simone. She’s an angel! I will be booking her for her services again.
not worth the prices. she doesn’t have a backyard for the dogs to run around in and had my dog locked in the cage for hours. i didn’t trust her in my home because i don’t know people but my dog came back somewhat institutionalized.
I appreciate the convenience of Simone’s availability but I found out that she did not follow the care instructions I provided for my dog. That was disappointing.
I love these guys! They took such good care of our sweet baby. We needed a short term walker. She’s a Shiba Inu and as a breed they’re expert escape artists. We are constantly watchful. We had no worries with Ethan, Joe, and Alyssa. They were on time, patient, thorough, and most importantly, loving. Alyssa even threw herself in front of an aggressive stray to protect our pup. They worked flexibly with our schedule. Our dog was very excited to see them each day. Thank you so much. We will miss you and your kind service.
Joe does an incredible job caring for our pups, Bailie and Murphy! We have had several good in home sitters over the years, but the quality of care that Joe provides is head and shoulders above the rest! He is very reliable, trustworthy, and provides us the updates and pup photos daily. The pups love him, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he provides for them!!
Live Bark Walk has extremely professional staff. They are thorough in their consultation to ensure they understand all your desires in caring for your pet but also to learn your pet and its personality. They even did a group walk with me during the consult to learn my dogs as well as ensure the dogs were comfortable with them. I used them for the first time for a full week and never worried about whether they were showing up or if my dogs were getting enough exercise. I can’t recommend them enough.
Joe is without a doubt the best in his business. He is so professional, caring, and prompt. He sends texts or a short video of walking your dog. Our minds were at ease while away knowing Joe is taking care of our Brady. I would highly recommend Joe if you need a dog walker. Thanks Joe! Dan & Sonya Miller
Joe is great. He walks my beagle Daisy once or twice a day depending on my schedule. I jokingly call him my "dog runner" because he runs rather than walks with Daisy when she is full of energy. Daisy is very social and vocal. Joe understands and works with those traits rather than being annoyed by them. Joe has gotten to know the neighbors by carefully letting Daisy meet folks they pass on their route. Joe is punctual but flexible regarding my schedule changes. I cannot imagine a better dog walking service.
We love Joe and now his new partner Susan. They both go above and beyond when visiting with our dogs. Rain or shine, we know they are getting exercised and loved on. Having the personal relationship and trust with a privately owned business is so worth it when deciding between dog walkers. We would highly recommend Live Bark Walk to anyone in the area.
Joe is the best! He walked my two dogs, Mugsey and Stella, in Florida before moving to Georgia. Not only was Joe incredibly reliable and trustworthy, he spent quality time with my dogs and was always on the lookout for anything that might be wrong with them. Joe always left detailed notes about his walks with Mugz and Stella and text messaged photos too. When Mugsey was diagnosed with diabetes, Joe took extra care with him and he helped me teach Stella how to "stay." To this day, he still checks up on my dogs - we all miss Joe very much. You cannot go wrong with him.
Joe is very professional, prompt and clearly cares about pets. He has taken our dog several times for walks. He sends text messages with updates and even photos. We highly recommend his service.
My dog's don't usually do well with other people but they have taken to Joe and do well on their walks. I'm very happy with the service and flexibility of walk times. I highly recommend Joe for your pet care needs.
These guys are fantastic. They are very professional and my pup loves them. I’ve worked with other dog walkers in the area and Live, Bark, Walk is my favorite by far! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dog walker.
