Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
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 :)
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!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
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.
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.
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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, $14/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!
We are so grateful for Patapooch and can’t speak more highly of them! Kayleigh and Domenico have been caring for our pups for almost three years, and their exceptional professionalism, clear communication, and genuine love for animals and passion for what they do truly stand out. They consistently ensure that our dogs get the exercise and attention they need. Whether it's midday check-ins, playtime, or overnight stays while we’re on vacation, their service is always seamless. They even coordinate with our family when necessary. If a scheduling issue arises, Kayleigh and Domenico reach out immediately, and they are always understanding and flexible if we need to change plans. Every visit is well-documented with texts letting us know when they’re on their way, when they’ve left, and with photos and updates to show that everything is going smoothly. We have complete peace of mind knowing our pups are in such good hands. Although we haven’t yet used their other sitters due to our one dog being reactive, we trust Kayleigh and Domenico implicitly and would have no concerns with their entire team. Patapooch Pet Care has truly earned our highest recommendation!
I don't know what I'd do without Patapooch. Kayleigh and Domenico are friendly, professional, reliable, great with animals, and extremely trust-worthy. Our pup is large and reactive so it takes a strong and special kind of person to be able to handle him. I've never been able to have so much trust with a pet sitter before, and it takes a huge weight off my shoulders knowing that our boy is in the best possible hands. Kayleigh and Domenico are also the only dog walkers we've ever worked with who walk at a fast enough pace for our pup. They understand his needs and give him the exercise he deserves! We also worked with Alyssa, who stayed at our house while we were out of town. She was equally fantastic! The house was left in pristine condition, she provided tons of pictures and updates, and our dog was happy when we returned. We're definitely going to work with her again the next time we go on a trip. It is extremely difficult to find reliable and loving care for animals, and Patapooch exceeds every possible expectation I could ever have.
Kayleigh and Domenico went above and beyond for us during our wedding in Ojai. Not only did they take amazing care of our golden retriever, they even brought him to our venue for the events and were kind and welcoming to all of our guests. We received photos every day and they even worked on training with him! We would give them 10 stars if we could!
I just want to say how wonderful Kayleigh and Domenico are! My puppy had a great experience over new years 2023. Theo played ball went for walks and relaxed in my hotel room where he felt very safe and comfortable while I went to dinner with good friends. Patapooch was very accommodating over my three day visit. Even sending me photos of my happy puppy while I was out with the girls. I will definitely ask Patapooch to watch Theo again. Thank you so much for being so flexible with the schedule. Cheers! Torrie
Kayleigh and Domenico have been expertly and lovingly caring for our animals for years. We have 5 dogs, 4 of them quite large and challenging. We also have goats and chickens. It's a lot to look after and they handle it professionally. They are excellent communicators, and always send photos and updates. They are highly trustworthy and treat our animals like their own. Our dogs love them! Thank you Patapooch!!
We have 5 large dogs and I wouldn't have anyone else care for them when we are out of town except for Patapooch - Domenico and Kayleigh. They are highly communicative and provide updates about our pups and with tricky feeding schedules and lots of dog hair, Patapooch takes such good care of our pups and our home. It is a gift to be able to travel worry-free because we know our dogs are receiving the love and care they need.
Domenico and Kayleigh are amazing. They truly love dogs and treated our pup as if she were their own. Took great care of the house as well and were super kind and professional throughout the whole experience. Would definitely use them again
Domenico has been taking care of my 2 cats and 3 dogs this past winter/spring. Sometimes 1hr walks, sometime full day care. It’s great that he comes to your home, as my Shih Tzu doesn’t do will in tradition doggy daycare. He always sends pictures and updates on every visit, so i know my family is well taken care if
This team is great, and takes great care of our house and our cat while we are out of town on vacation. We are repeat customers! They can accommodate longer trips as well, and they are nearby and always able to help. There was an instance forgot to turn on the sprinklers, and they helped make sure our, plants and trees didn’t die while we were gone
Excellent team! I wouldn't trust my dogs with anyone else, they are reliable friendly and genuinely care
Cory is an exceptional InHome pet sitter who provided outstanding care for our pets during a very difficult time. We initially hired Cory in July for 6 days to care for our 3 cats (ages 16, 8, and 6) and 7 budgies while we were away. Our 8-year-old cat had recently been diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma and was receiving palliative care. Cory was incredibly supportive, offering helpful information to keep our cat comfortable in her final days. Sadly, we had to put her to rest shortly after as the cancer had spread. Cory went above and beyond to nurture our two remaining cats, who were depressed after losing their feline companion. She spent quality time with them and faithfully followed their feeding schedule. In addition to pet care, Cory watered our yards and vegetable garden, brought in mail and packages, and kept our home tidy. A few weeks later, we adopted a 14-week-old kitten who unfortunately passed an infection to our elderly cat. Amidst this crisis, we hired Cory two more times. She compassionately cared for our sick kitten, administering daily medications and cleaning up accidents, while also comforting our depressed adult cat mourning the loss of his two friends within a 3-week period. Throughout these challenges, Cory's kindness, patience, and dedication to our pets provided immense comfort. She built loving relationships with each of them, easing our worries while we were away. Cory is trustworthy, reliable, and respectful - I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a hands-on, compassionate pet sitter. Your pets and home could not be in better hands.
We have used Corey a few times to animal sit and house sit for us. We have two dogs, two cats, bearded dragon, and about 35 chickens. She is so sweet and caring for all our animals. They absolutely love her! She brushed our dogs and even removed a tic on one of them that I didn’t even notice. We came home to a clean house, treats for our bearded dragon that she bought, and very happy dogs that honestly missed her when she left. We already have our next vacation booked and she is schedule to come again. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with animal sitters in the past who lost my dogs, killed chickens, had a party at my house…oh I can go on and on and Corey is so trustworthy and responsible! No issues with her. So glad we found her!
Please contact Cory if you are in or around Ojai, CA. We stayed at the Ojai Valley Inn and was in desperate need of a dog sitter. Cory met us earlier in the day to get acquainted with the boys, who suffer from severe separation anxiety. They immediately took to Cory and this allowed us to attend our event. I highly recommend Cory for any hotel pet sitting you may need. Professional, on time, and absolutely great with our boys. I also think that pet friendly hotels in the area should consider adding Cory to their list of pet amenities offered for your guest. She's a life saver.
Cory did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She is reliable and it is obvious she loves animals.
Thank you so much for not only the short notice but for being there for my animals. Very easy to set up and work with. Having updates also very helpful. Thank you again Corey!
To be honest, my sister ownes this business so, a bias is possible. However my pup goes to them every day, and I'm fully put at ease knowing that all of the dogs enrolled in their program have been screened for immunization, as well as full health screening, and they make sure that each dog is paired properly with play mates! I just know one thing, my puppy comes home happy, well fed, and well played. Being that he's a Shepard collie, and Australian cattle dog mix, that's impressive! We grew up with dogs of all breeds, and loved them all, it's a soft spot! She welcomes new customers! But as we all tend to be she is busy, make an appointment if you're looking for an amazing loving place for your puppers!
Great people who genuinely love your pets. My Bella love it there and gets so excited when we pull up to the daycare. I recommend to all our fur babies.
My senior dog has some special needs and he is always well cared for. He loves the pool. The owners are always welcoming and so kind to my “old man.” I wouldn’t take Buddy anywhere else!
Our dog is so happy here! Dog Friendly has been caring for our dog with boarding and day care for 10 years. Kristen and Jason are the best!
This is a great place. Our dog is always happy to be here he cant wait to get in the gate to play with his friends . Highly recommend.
They are really good with our two dogs. Prices are very reasonable. Can't recommend them enough!
Best care givers
We're using the Peaceful Pup dog walking service and couldn't be happier. Our dog gives FOUR PAWS up to the walkers and her walks. We give the whole experience FIVE STARS for excellence; the walkers are very trustworthy, experienced and kind, and the company as a whole is very organized and professional.
Absolutely fantastic care and service. I recently went on a 5 day out of state trip and was concerned about finding proper care for my 16 year old dog and very shy cat. My dog is also bowel and bladder incontinent so I knew that the care she would need would be more labor intensive than the care a younger dog would need. Emy and Amy Jo were very understanding and compassionate with my animals and I really felt that they were in excellent hands. Brandy the owner came over with Emy and Amy Jo for a meet and greet and I felt that the model of cate she has set up for her business is outstanding. I received detailed notification of every visit and they also included pictures of my pets (they even managed to get a few snaps of my elusive cat). The prices were fair, the service was amazing and I will be using them every time I need someone to watch my girls. Thank you Brandy, Emy and Amy Jo!
The most amazing pet sitting service ever! Very thoughtful, good with animals and kind:)
The most caring group of people ever! I have never felt so comfortable leaving my pets because I know that the Peaceful Pup team will treat them like they’re their own.
They emailed every visit with photos.
Extraordinary service. Highly recommend.
