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.

Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
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!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
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!
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!
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.
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, $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!
PLEASE READ!! My girlfriend and I decided to try out UpperCapeK9s for daycare for our 1.5 year old lab mix, as we recently moved to the area and saw great reviews. DO NOT be fooled by the reviews/pictures -- There is a very small, narrow fenced in dirt area that loops around the side of the house where the dogs are allowed, or otherwise, they are kept in their crates in a small room (which they were reluctant to show during our "tour"). While the owner, Bob, and his wife seem to do work around the yard and house, they lock the dogs up. There is no "crew" watching the dogs as mentioned. After the first time meeting Bob, we could sense that something was slightly off -- he was very brief when meeting/touring the location & came off as a rude. We couldn't tell if there were other dogs there & our otherwise friendly pup would not come/go near him. We decided to give him benefit of the doubt due to his "30 years of experience" as we needed a close place for our pup to relieve energy with other dogs. After showing up 5-10 minutes late for 8am drop off, Bob asked us to be more punctual as he "plans his day in 15-minute increments". I've never heard of that for drop off at a dog daycare, but I thought it was fair and respected his ask. Fast forward a week later, I show up on time for 4:45pm pickup and Bob, nor his wife, are there -- we were never under the impression that he would leave the dogs unsupervised at any point. After texting him, he lets me know that he's running late & will be home in 5 minutes. He then continued to scold me for having "no boundaries" for opening his unlocked gate to the usual pickup area. After a few other rude remarks, he then opened the gate to let my dog out and INTENTIONALLY didn't put his leash on so that he could run away. And this is only the second week of bringing our pup. Moral of the story, listen to your gut if you feel something is off about the people who care for your dogs. DO NOT RECOMMEND!! AWFUL EXPERIENCE!!
😞😞😞😞😞😞😞I feel so bad for bringing my pup here for daycare. The information on the website is very misleading!!!? It is not a facility like you imagine, it is a home based day care with a small dirt area for the dogs. We were not shown inside the building where the dogs stay. Owner was dismissive when asking questions to better understand the area. Just very rude & aggravated by presence. Needs to find a better way to speak to people, especially for business purposes. Arrived to pick up my pup & he was not home, hmmm???😓
Bob and Linda are wonderful, caring people who love dogs. Highly recommended!
I went away to the Florida Keys and left Eli for boarding with upper cape k9 for 5 days. Price is GREAT! It’s the best feeling in the world going away and knowing your dogs are in great hands while you are away. Checked in with Eli and all was well while I was away. Eli came home exhausted but I just know he had a great time. He was also sent home with treats. Which I thought was a great little gift. Bob is great! Friendly, caring, responsive, knows his stuff and most importantly took such good care of my pup Eli. Highly recommend sending your pup here whether it’s for daycare, boarding or whatever your needs are!
Bob and the group at Upper Cape K9s took great care of our active German Shepherd hound mix. He made sure she settled in and didn't let her bark the whole time like she had at other kennels. Their spot in the woods is much nicer than some other places we have been. I'm sure we will be coming back!
We use UpperCapeK9 for training, boarding, and daycare! We have an active 10 month old puppy and couldn’t recommend UpperCape enough.
I highly recommend Bob , I am a dog trainer here in wareham and bring my dog here ,and recommend him to my clients and they all are very happy with him . Price is excellent for daycare and boarding. Bob's your guy ! Best Krissy Hunt
Bob does a great job with the dogs. Well run
Went to pick up my sister's dog and was really was happy to see the place. Very nice, serene area, and owner was extremely nice. I could tell really cared about the animals. Gave a complimentary dog treat as well. I definitely recommend 👌 …
This may be a bit long, but it needs to be said. I try to be respectful of business owners and their challenges in running their establishments when I post reviews. I am not a person that expects more than I am paying for and definitely try to give the benefit of the doubt when there is disagreement. But today,I have to give this location a 1 star review for the situation that occured this morning. We rescued our dog Finn from Mississippi 8 weeks ago. He is between 9 months and a year old. The day that we brought him home, he played for about 3 hours with our next door neighbor's dog nonstop. He did not bark a single time. We brought him to this daycare for the first time on June 2nd for a trial, the folks here told us when we picked him up that he was awesome and had such a good day playing with the other dogs. 2nd visit we were asked to pick him up because there were worms discovered in his poop. No problem. Finn was treated and today we went back for his third visit. Wife got a call to come pick him up because he wanted to play too much. Owner told her that Finn did not know "how to read the room". Finn wanted to play and when the other dogs did not want to play, Finn continued to try to get them to play. WHAT??. I thought that we sent our dogs to daycare to play. Finn is not an aggressive dog. He has a lot of energy but is not a problem dog. He wants to play with other dogs. When my wife went to pick him up, there was an issue getting a refund. What? He was there for less than an hour. While she was working with the staff to understand what was happening, she asked Finn to sit. He did immediately and sat there until she was done talking to the owner. Not sure what is going on here, but we will not be back.
Couldn't ask for a better place to drop our pup, Abby! Take a look at this picture - would you believe this passed out lump is a 4.5 month old lab? She is so excited to spend the day with her friends, and has so much fun - that when she comes home, she conks right out because she's so tired. The staff is incredibly friendly, and caring. Total gem to have right down the street!
I love coastal canine. The staff is very friendly and they genuinely care about the dogs. They do whatever they can to make sure the dogs are taken care of and comfortable. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of hours you get. Highly recommend.
Jake loves his daycare. He looks forward to going. We are so happy they are there for our pups! Definitely would recommend! The best doggie daycare!!❤️❤️💙💙🐾 …
We love, love, love Coastal Canine. They treat your dog like their own family members. I never have to worry about my fur baby when he is in their care. Kind, courteous, professional, and they truly love their dog clients. Thank you Coastal Canine!
My pup loves it here. They are open Monday through Friday and for an extra fee can pick up and drop off.
I feel very comfortable leaving my dogs there. Being a family owned daycare, they really take very good care of their furry clients. Love this place
My dog loves it here! Staff are friendly and helpful, you can tell they love these dogs. Ramona comes home happy and tired 😊 …
My boy Milos happy place coastal canine daycare 💗❤️ …
Chesty loves going here, and from what they tell me they love seeing him come in. He has a blast the whole time hes there and is usually the bulldog that is running like hes the energizer bunny.
