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.
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
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.
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
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.
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.
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!
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!
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, $25/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!
Jessi/Destination Doggie was GREAT! We normally board our two dogs but chose to leave them home and try Jessi's services and I will never board again! The dogs remained in their home environment and Jessi came daily to feed them and play with them, and she sent me daily pictures. I cannot say how thrilled I am with Jessi's services. I will NEVER board again and will definitely call upon Jessi/Destination Doggie! So happy that we used her and we deiced not to board. We were away for 7 nights and the dogs were well taken care of and the nightly photos made me certain the dogs were doing well. Please use Destination Doggie/Jessi, you will be thrilled!!!
I moved to Falmouth part-time last month and needed a dog walker for my two fur babies very last minute and Destination Doggie was awesome with a fast response and VERY flexible. Jessi came to my house and walked my two energetic dogs and ever since has been fantastic about scheduling, flexibility, communication and my dogs have been very well cared for ! She sends me these sweet photos of my dogs and I have felt very comfortable with her helping us make sure everyone is well cared for !
Our puppy spent the weekend with Jessi and Nikki and was well cared for. He received so much attention, went on walks and played with other dogs. I received photos throughout the day and he came home happy and tired out! I plan to continue to use their service for both overnights and doggie daycare.
This was our first time using Jessi’s service We have two male cats and we were leaving them alone for a week, to go to my daughter’s wedding in Vermont. When Jessi checked in on them, she took pictures. I liked that a lot. And yes, we will definitely use Destination Doggie again 😁👍🐈🐈
Extremely reliable and always there when we need her to watch our husky. She is super friendly and really good with dogs. She gives them a lot of play time and exercise. Our husky seems to love her and he seems a lot calmer when he comes home. Very pleased and will continue with her business.
I have 2 French bulldog puppies and it’s been tuff training them at the same time. Not only do the dogs have a great time with lots of enrichment but they are also getting trained. So when I drop them off I feel awsome that they are having a stellar time well learning. It’s been helping me so much Thankyou !
Jessi is amazing with animals and my little pug Archie loves spending the day with her and her family. She’s attentive and really cares about the dogs she looks after.
Jessi is patient and kind with my chihuahua Kobe who is nervous and scared of his own shadow but such a love, he is comfortable and trusts her she is a natural with animals so happy we found her!
Hi Dave. Typically for a reviewer to honestly and truthfully leave a review on a companies website the reviewer needs to have done some sort of perfessional business with the business your choosing to leave a review for. Otherwise how do you know what you can truly leave for stars? For example, how do you know if you like a new food if you have never actually tried it first? Normally we do not reply to our reviews as they have always been exceptional and honest but knowing that you are my neighbor who has always given my family and I a hard time. My neighbor that has never given us a chance as neighbors nevermind a chance as your pet care provider I decided it was only fair to let our clients and any future clients know that we did not do business with you nor earn this 1 star review. I as the owner and head pet care provider of Destination Doggie would appreciate any negative feelings you may have towards my family and I be kept off of google. Thank you very much for your understanding. - Owner
I don't understand the one low rating in a previous comment. I trust Nancy absolutely with my two dogs. She is dedicated to animals and loves our dogs as her own. We have taken extended vacations over the past 4 years and Nancy has been reliable in coming to our home then feeding, walking and playing with our dogs multiple times during the day or evening on whatever schedule we set. While away, Nancy keeps us updated through reassuring, daily pictures and comments sent through Messenger texts. She has visited our home while we there and our dogs respond very positively to her. The Waggin Wheels website clearly states that they come to your home to provide services and does not mention any overnight kenneling. It was made clear to us that the services were provided in our home. So I do not understand the bait and switch comment.
I have been using Nancy Talley for several years and can not say enough Positive things about her. She is the kindest, most responsible, and reliable pet sitter you could ever ask for. Nancy went out of her way to make sure they were taken care of during a recent snowstorm when we were away. She is the best!
Nancy has been wonderful to our animals. She is kind and reliable and makes sure they are well cared for. We were away during an ice storm and she still made sure she was there for them. We are fortunate to have found Nancy!
Waggin Wheels pet sitting is fantastic. I have been using them for years and my dog Bandit loves Nancy Talley. She is very good with him and takes very good care of him. She is very dependable and trustworthy . I trust her with my home and my dog.
Nancy is the best. She truly loves your pet as if it were her own. She is very reliable and trustworthy. I have been using Waggin Wheels for several years and have referred many clients to her.
Nancy is absolutely wonderful with dogs and other animals!!WE have used her for years and she is part of the family by now!!! We trust her with everything-so loyal, thoughtful, honest, reliable and LOVING!!! What a find!!!
Nancy is outstanding always there when I need her. I have had her stay at my home twice when I was traveling. My dog Rags absouletly loves her. She is dependable and kind. Can't say enough about her!
Our elderly dog Tucker, ❤️️his Aunt Nancy!! We do too!! Sweet trust worthy, and dependable. We never worried about Tuckers care when leaving Nancy and family in charge,
Nancy is the best
