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.

Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
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!
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
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
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.
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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, $19/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
My cat is 3 years old and she has only recently gotten so matted I couldn't brush her. My Vet recommended 2 places in town that groomed cats. Both places had good reviews but I was drawn to the Pet Stop. As you see by the before and after pictures that they did a wonderful job. She wasn't upset at all and she seems like she feels so much better. I was embarrassed that she had gotten so matted but they never made me feel bad at all. I will go back again. I think that she will feel better in the summer because even though she is an indoor cat her coat is heavy and she's always on a cool floor. Thank you Pet Stop
Take my dog here for every hair cut. Great service and prices. Usually takes them 3 hours and they do her nails, and hair for around 50$.
We came into town for the 4th of July weekend and our normal boarding in our hometown was full. We were in a pinch and every other boarding in Sioux City required at least a day visit before booking overnight boarding for new dogs. Pet Stop was accommodating and let us board our two pups even though they were new to them. She even left her friend at the bar after work to open up for us as we were late into town! Our dogs were taken care of and had no issues throughout the weekend. We would definitely send our dogs back next time.
We’re traveling through the area for a funeral and we needed a last minute place to watch our dog for a few hours so she wouldn’t be alone at our hotel. We called a bunch of places who were rude about taking out of town guest, but when we called Pet Stop they were so nice and said they could watch our dog. They were super sweet on the phone and in person and our dog seemed to have a great time! It was a great price too. Thank you so much!!!!!
I was coming into Sioux City from Jefferson, Iowa to visit family for the weekend. I saw the good reviews so I called them to book my puppy. At first they were hesitant about taking him in, but then said since he was small, they could fit him in. When I showed up there was a sign on the door that said they were on vacation until the 24th of July. His appointment was supposed to be on the 20th at 2:30. Of course no one was there and no one answered the phone. I was very distraught and upset by this since I never received a phone call letting me know they were going on vacation. I wouldn’t recommend.
Jolene and I think the other girl's name was Lucy?,but she left and was rly sweet! They have been doing my cat for the past 7 yrs, and sadly lovely Jolene is retiring this Sept, to live her best life and play with her grandchildren, woo woo!! So Ive just had my last appt with her forever😢😢💔💔me and Purrsia will miss yall soo much!! They were the absolute best and sweetest!! Hands down!!🙌🏿🙌🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Thank you for making my, Purrsia, look her best and smelled good for most of her life!❤️❤️🙌🏿🙌🏿🥰🥰
Took my cat here to have some knots removed in his fur. I had never been to a pet groomer before, and this was a fantastic experience! I made an appointment, and did not have to wait long before getting service. My cat is a very nervous boy, and they did great with him. They were also very knowledgeable, and that helped me know what I might need to do in the future for his care. Will definitely be going here in the future!
We just love Gramma Jo and so do our doggos!!! We are so blessed to have found her to care for our dogs. They get so excited to see her and she welcomes them with open arms each and every time. She has nick names for them which is so cute. Our big guy she calls him "Bubbalicious." It fits him to a T because he's a big Bubba and he's as sweet as can be. Thank you Gramma Jo for taking such good care of our babies!!!
My 10 year old pug mix lilly, refuses to let us trim her nails. Even when taking her to vets its a real struggle for such a small dog. But lilly must have liked laci. She squirmed and fought at first but then let laci do her thing. Best experience in her nail trimming in 10 years!!!! Will definitely be back. Thanks laci!
For grooming this is the place to go, they treat every pet as if it were their own. Not to mention their prices are very, very reasonable. Make an appointment, your pet will thank you.
Emily is fantastic! Very caring and understanding. You can tell she really loves animals. She has been super professional, flexible and willing to try a bunch of different things with my difficult cat. Highly recommend Lots Of Love.
Emily is the best. She's great with animals and is also a fantastic resource. I trust her to watch my fur babies and they always feel right at home. She is compassionate and very professional.
Emily is the best. My Roxie is blind and has hip trouble, and is animal aggressive, so we needed someone to come to the house. Emily is patient and caring, and communicates very well. She is also flexible and easy to work with a schedule. Rates are reasonable. You will love her.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ We have always boarded our dogs while on vacation and never had a “dog sitter”, but decided to give Emily a try, as I know boarding is so stressful on our two dogs. Not only did they do great staying at home, but I absolutely loved the constant updates and photos through the app. I was able to check on them daily and could tell from their happy photos they were enjoying their company. 😁 And the cherry on top was that we also had someone to check on our house multiple times a day while we were gone, someone to water my flowers and to bring in the mail. We will absolutely be using Emily and Lots of Love on our next trip!
My corgi, Ellee, loves Emily! She walks her every week. Emily has been amazing, reliable, and easy to work with. I know that my little fur baby is being taken care of well while I’m away. I am very happy with her service and would and have recommended it to my family and friends!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! I am so happy to have found Emily at Lots of Love Pet Care. She shows up at the time promised and sends us pictures and updates while/after she is walking our dog. It’s comforting to know our boy is in good hands & he is so happy with her!!!
Lots of Love Pet Care is amazing! Emily truly loves my dogs when she cares for them! I completely trust her with them and with her coming to my home to care for them while I am away. I would definitely recommend Lots of Love Pet Care!
Emily is so caring and passionate about her job. She treats my fur babies as if they were her own and that makes me feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. Highly recommend!
I rely on Emily to let my babies out when I’m working! I work long shifts and feel it’s unfair for my babies to be kennels the entire time. My babies seem SO much happier now that they get a potty break and a walk during my long work shifts. I also get in touch with Emily if I’m going out of town and wanna make sure my babies get out of the house. Fantastic service for this town- will continue to use her!
Emily is the best! She took such good care of my kitties while we were gone for Thanksgiving. I loved getting updates and pictures from her during the visits because she knew I missed my babies!
The staff is AMAZING! They made sure my dog had the best day and took care of her. She left so happy and I could tell she found her new favorite place. They understood her past with a doggy daycare and made sure to watch her and give her some breaks as requested. They really care for the animals like they were their own. I highly recommend brining your fur-ever bestie here!
Bed and Biscuit is awesome!! They take such good care of the Dogs!! And the dogs love it!!It's the BEST!!
We drive an hour to bring our Golden here. They are the best.
Great place to leave the pets for a vacation when you can't take them along. They post videos and always give feedback on how everything went. While I still have anxiety leaving my dogs for an extended period of time, I find comfort in knowing that Becky and the crew truly are dog people and they will take the best care of them!
My wife and I are in sioux city for three months (she's a travel nurse). We needed a good daycare for our dog. This place has been the BEST doggy day care we have experienced by far. Staff has been extremely caring and helpful. Staff knew our names after one visit. It's the small things that count. They post pictures on their social media as well. You get a small town feel for the place. However the care and attention makes it feel like a big town operation. I would recommend to anyone who needs a place for their dogs.
Love this place!!! They take amazing care of our dogs! ❤️ Our fur babies always enjoy their visit there. They are always do excited about going. And we feel safe leaving our pups knowing they are in good hands.
Super friendly. Great prices. Our family doggo loves it. Plenty of room to play and dogs to play with.
Our dogs love coming here when we go on vacation, it's like a vacation for them too! The owners are very knowledgeable and always answer my messages right away. After a few times of my dogs coming here they knew right away how their personalities were and how best to take care of them.
Best doggy day care & boarding place in all of Siouxland!! The staff are true animal people who love and treat my fur babies as if they were thier own. The kennel area and back play area is always clean, they have several yards for different size dogs and lots of play and agility toys. They also carry the only dog food I feed my dogs which is, Fromm! Best dog food that money can buy and it's at a fair price. I highly recommend checking out Bed & Biscuit. Your dogs will thank you!Thank you Curtis, Becky and all the staff!
You can't find a better business to take care of your dogs in the entire tri-state area! They have a huge acreage for the dogs to run around in, and they truly love the animals they care for. I have family who live on Stone Park Blvd, and I have seen Bed and Biscuit open for years now! Their length up operation truly is a testimony to their great service - which is exactly what they do. They strive serve their customers (and owners) more than they strive to earn the "extra buck." We take our dogs there when we leave town, and so does my family!
Could not recommend Desi more! Desi has watched our cat and dog many times and she was amazing every time. She is more than capable of caring for our pets as well as giving them the most love and attention.
My dog and cat love Desi! She takes such great care of them, very responsible and I trust her to take care of my house too. Tracy.
Desi is an attentive and caring pet sitter whose love for animals is obvious from the moment you meet her. She understands that every pet is different and treats them like family. DB Pet Sitter is easily my first choice for pet sitters in Siouxland!
Desi is just amazing! She eased my mind while we were away from our dog, as I could tell how much love and care she put into the job. I absolutely loved the journal entries and photos, too. Seriously, look no further than Desi. She’s a gem; my dog loves her, and I can tell she cares for all dogs with her heart.
Desi was wonderful with our 2 dogs and cat during a Christmas vacation! A few weeks before she pet/house sat Desi came over for a meet and greet with us and the pets. We left a detailed note for her. Any questions she had she texted us right away. She even kept all my indoor plants alive and watered, and put chemicals in our hot tub according to our directions 😃 During our trip Desi would send us pictures and texts of her and the pets hanging out. By the end of our trip even the persnickety cat was a Desi fan. If you need a pet sitter and appreciate the peace of mind that comes with knowing your house isn’t sitting vacant with your pets trapped inside except for 2 feeding/potty breaks, don’t hesitate to call Desi! It’s well worth it!
Gracie and Max love when Desi comes! She pampers and loves them just like we do, and that is a comfort to us. We're so happy we found her!
Desi is highly accountable and communicates well. You can tell she truly cares about the animals she is looking after. I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!
Desi was professional, responsive, and excellent with communication. Best of all, our pup loves her!!! Highly recommend!!
It's great to have someone who really loves & connects with my dog. He loves her!
My dogs stay here most major holidays and some summer getaways. I love that they get daycare when boarding. Booking is simple and the dogs come home happy. Would definitely recommend!
Love this place. They take really great care of my dog Ruger. And even work me in last minuet for grooming because I cant plan that.. I highly recommend to anyone who has a dog and the prices are out of this world good..
We love happy tails. Will loves it when we say..."you wanna go to school". He knows he gets to play with friends all day long. The staff care about each dog and know their names and personalities.
I had my little dog Rocky there a couple of weeks ago and they took really good care of him. I definitely will be going back when I need to board him out . Excellent care given.
Lots of play space, well cared for dogs and a wonderful staff! I can't recommend this place enough!
Awesome service, we were treated very well, more importantly our loved dog was treated great….highly recomended.
Best place to take your fur babies! Staff are all well trained and take excellent care of all the dogs!
We always use them when we go out of town for a few days. They do a great job with the dogs and we like that they have an in-house groomer in case the dogs also need their feet trimmed up. We have 2 miniature dachshunds and they keep the small dogs separate from the big dogs. We've been going here since the current owner's parents used to own it. We cannot say enough good things about them!
My dog loves going there. The people are really dedicated to making the dogs happy.
Jessica and the team took great care of our pup for his first time boarding. We loved seeing the pictures of him playing with his new friends. Thanks Morningside Happy Tails for a wonderful experience! We’ll be back!
