Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
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!
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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!
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, 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!
This is the best affordable dog boarding in athens ! took my dog here for a few days and he loved it! he met his identical twin as well!
We are so glad we found this doggie daycare! We have been wanting to go on vacation but have been hesitant because what do we do with our dogs. I have heard nightmare stories at daycares! Our dogs are our kids and I’m a helicopter mom with them! One of our dogs has a heart condition and we didn’t want to take him somewhere where he’d be stressed. Also, he’s on a strict schedule with medicine that keeps him alive. Leaving them here took a lot of the worry and stress away! We got pupdates everyday and I could see in the pictures that they were not stressed at all and having a good time! Highly recommend wags n whiskers!!!!
They are amazing. Our beliefs differ and i was cautious at first but they took very great care of our animals. We will return and highly recommend.
They did a great job taking care of my dog. Very good price as well cant beat it. They were also able to take my dog on only a day notice.
Have taken my puppy here two times already, great people. Theyll update you on your dog and they are very understanding! Definitely always my first option from now on.
I LOVE Wags 'N' Whiskers! Beverly is the only one that I trust my gigantic mastiff! She loves every pet that comes to her like her own and I wouldn't hesitate to have my pup stay with her any day of the week! If you live in the Athens area, you need to give her a call!
My dog was boarded for one week while I was away. Wags n Whiskers was very friendly, sent several photos and updates and treated my dog as family. I highly recommend.
Beverly takes excellent care our doggo and outdoor cat when we're away! She is attentive and responsive... always sends pics!
My Rowdy enjoys going there and I feel good about him going there. He has spent many days there.
Very understanding.
Awesome experience! They picked up my dog from Buckhead, taught her to retrieve a frisbee, returned her bathed, nails clipped, happy and healthy. I couldn't be more pleased to recommend this boarding facility! Great job!
Best kennel you can find! Great people. My dog gets so excited to go.
Dan and Jenny are very nice and accommodating on our short notice need for boarding our weims. They did a temperament test and showed us around. Girls passed, and two days later, we were on our way. They answered a text from us very quickly and sent us a short video of them playing outside. Girls were happy and tired when we picked them up - they got a lot of social interaction and outdoor time. Will definitely use Dixon Kennels again!
I board my Standard Poodle with Dixon Kennels very often and she loves it! They have such a “mom & pop” feel mixed with professionalism.
We love the family atmosphere for our dogs when they stay at Dixon Kennels. We have total trust in the Dixons to take good care of them.
It was great to see videos of my girls running and playing while I had to be away for a work trip. I’m so thankful they had availability at their great space.
I had been looking for the perfect daycare for my boy, Banjo, for years when I found Daniel's place by accident. What a find! Banjo absolutely loves his "vacations" now! I know he is having a blast and socializing with friends, and I have the peace of mind knowing he is in good hands. All you have to do is check out their Instgram page to see what you're getting. Being away from my boy just got easier. We love this place.
Amazing people who take care of your animals like their own. My dogs love coming here, they play outside the majority of the day and get to meet new friends! We drive 40 min to come here because they truly are the best and it’s not even close. We will never take our dogs anywhere else.
We love Dixon Farm and so do our puppets, Sully & Benny! ♥️♥️♥️
Owners are great and extremely responsive. Our dogs love the freedom they have thhere. I would most definitely recommend.
We would happily recommend Dixon Kennels to everyone we know. We have had the best experience with both boarding and daycare. Our Dolly is so excited any chance she gets to go. They are truly awesome, and we love having a fun, safe place for our puppy to play.
Fantastic dog boarders! My dog enjoys Dixon Farms & Kennel.
