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.

"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Chris was an outstanding pet sitter and I would definitely use him again! He is reliable, responsible, and thorough. I was able to FaceTime Chris prior to the sit and he spent a lot of time answering and asking questions. I felt confident after speaking with him. Throughout the weekend, Chris communicated clearly through texting. He let me know when he arrived and left which was helpful. He also sent photos and updates of both my cats. My boy cat has occasional anxiety issues which cause UTI's. Andy had a flare up while I was away and Chris was very attentive to him and let me know how he was doing. Chris did not seem to mind taking extra care of him which I very much appreciate. Chris left my house clean and even washed the sheets and towels he used before leaving!
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!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
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!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
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.
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!
Poor customer service !! If they treat fur babies they way we were treated then they shouldn’t have this business! Our dog has never been to a boarding place so my husband and I called with questions. First impression was horrible! I explained our dog has never stayed outside of the house before. I asked if it was an offsite facility or a residence to see if it would be a disturbance to sleeping individuals if my dog barked throughout the night due to anxiety/fear. I asked what would one do if they had a dog that barked continuously. I was told they have not experienced that before. They became annoyed that I had the audacity to ensure my pup’s safety by asking questions. I asked what if that occurs. They replied, “again, I have not experienced that”, their tone grew w annoyance and was evidently frustrated. I stopped and noticed my discontentment and knew this place was not inviting, not interested in my questions or helping me feel at ease with dropping off my dog to strangers. Just like our kids, we would check out the daycare center before dropping off our kids, right? As a business owner you would think they would understand the questions and concerns after the customer stated this is their first time. I ended the call immediately on my end, but my husband stayed on the phone to hear them say it is not the right fit and my husband agreed. Yeah, obviously, it’s not the right fit! It was only one question!
They are so good to my Jack boy! I wouldn’t bring him anywhere else! They’ve helped us in a bind, and out of a bind! So appreciative! Couldn’t say anything better about them! Jack even gets excited when we arrive! Thank you Country Time Pet Retreat!
Extremely happy with services. Joe is a calming sole for the dogs. First time our Doberman Lola was away from home. It was like dropping your child off at summer camp for the first time, we were like new parents. Called last minute to see if she could get groomed which Joe was able to accommodate. She looks shiny and new. Great job Joe. Lola will be going back again for puppy camp. Highly recommend Country Time Pet Retreat
Was referred here by a friend. Left 3 of my large dogs here for a week. Overall, my dogs were happy and healthy when they were picked up. One of my dogs has anxiety and his rear paw pads were raw and actively bleeding when we picked him up. His snout and lips as well. Likely from the concrete in the holding areas. I did get the impression that the dogs that stay here do not get individualized attention and are treated as numbered tasks on a list. Not a lot of consideration goes into the comfort of each holding area, but the dog yard is huge and definitely enough space for groups of dogs to play together.
Country time was amazing with my dog! He has fear aggression as well as separation anxiety--so many kennels refused to let him stay--and they were more than willing to respect his boundaries and make sure he was cared for so well. The day I was supposed to pick him up, I was bit by a cat and had to go to the ER. The people at Country Time told me not to worry and to take care of myself and they would make sure my boy was taken care of. They were so accommodating and they LOVE dogs. They will treat your pet like their own! Highly recommend!
Did a great job with the bath portion of the grooming service. However, nails we're too short too cut and was unable to use the grinder on her nails. Can't really blame him though because my dog does not like that. I bet some places would've gotten it done tho.. also, don't believe he did teeth brushing. Doesn't appear to part of the "grooming" service, which is disappointing. Place looks under a remodel/construction and is kind of messy. House and yard are kind of messy too which doesn't make you feel too good about the services they provide. Dogs are kept in a separate building away from the house - makes you wonder how often they check on the boarding dogs.
We take our Beefy here quite often whether it’s for family trips or just overnight because we will be out of town. Beefy really seems to love the owner and we have NEVER had an issue. Only place we will take him to stay.
No issues. I wish the inside dog area wasn't so industrial and concrete. A more homelike environment would make me feel more comfortable
Great Place with an owner that loves dogs!!! He took care of my Lily like it was his own and was very accommodating to her needs. Would definitely bring her back!!
Dropped our dog off on a Friday at 11:00 am, received a voicemail from Country time at 9:30 pm that evening, asking us to give them a call, was not able to get in touch with them, found out the next day, from an individual who saw our dog roaming the streets, when I arrived Country Time, they then informed me that our dog had somehow escaped their facility at 1:00 pm the previous day...................I'd strongly suggest finding other options when looking to board your animals
Boarded our dog at Ashley’s new facility and he had a great time. She provided an amazing amount of enrichment that was included in the boarding and gave him lots of individual attention. Highly recommend!
Ashley and Leah took wonderful loving care of our ducks, chickens, and cat while we were out of town for a few days. Ashley was kind, professional and responsive from start to finish, which made me feel comfortable and reassured. And Leah wrote the cutest notes about our animals after every visit, complete with photos! It was the first time I have not felt anxiety when leaving our menagerie behind on a trip - and that sense of security is priceless (as most pet owners know). I will not hesitate to use Pawsitively Lovable again when we go on vacation, and highly recommend their petsitting services!
We Love Ashley and her Team at Pawsitively Loveable Dog Walking Service! We met Ashley many years ago and she helped us with our dog with kidney issues. She now helps us with our energetic lab! She is knowledgeable about dogs (I am sure other animals too) and she has helped us whenever we have a pet question. Our dogs are always so happy with their walks.
Ashley is reliable, easy to work with and a true animal lover! She will treat you dog like her own and you will not be disappointed. My dogs love to see her pulling in because they know they can give her a million kisses and she will gladly accept them - and they get to go for a walk and get some energy released.
I spent hours trying to find "a match" through Rover, Wag, and Thumbtack with no luck, then got Ashley's name from a neighbor. She is the best. Very responsible and reliable and provides professional service. Everything she said would be done was done plus extras (she picked up my mail and deliveries without being asked). Each day she would send pictures. I knew my "boy" was in good hands. I would highly recommend Pawsitively Lovable over any of the other services. I will definitely use this service again.
Pawsitively Loveable has been caring for our pets for over 2 years. We highly regard Ashley for her knowledge, experience, care and kindness she provides to our 2 dogs. She is professional and always has our dogs’ needs first. She has also provided care for our elderly cat in the past. Our minds are at ease knowing how well our beloved fur-babies are cared for in our absence.
Pawsitively Loveable are true professionals! They took the time to get to know us and our animals before we left for our vacation, and the communication while we were away was exceptional. Awesome pet sitting service! They took care of our three dogs, our chickens, and our ducks - we are so lucky to have found Ashley and Lyndon!
Ashley has been coming to let my dog out for some mid-day exercise for over a year now. She is dependable, professional, and clearly loves the animals she cares for. It is a relief to not have to worry about Boo while at work during the day because I know he has this time with Ashley! Highly recommended!!
Ashley is great with our sometimes temperamental and food aggressive large dogs. They LOVE her and we love that we can count on and trust her with pets that need someone who really knows what they’re doing. Highly recommend!
Ashley and Lyndon provided wonderful care at last minute due to a death in the family to our dog Cooper and cat Benji. They went above and beyond in keeping touch daily on the visits, provided loving care with walks and playtime which was witnessed through the awesome pictures sent. I can’t thank them enough and will definitely call upon them again!!!!!
