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, $27/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 dog likes staying here. I feel they are kind to animals. The issue I have and the reason we won't be coming back is that I travel frequently for work and my dates often change. They require a night deposit and you do not get that back should your travel plans change. I have offered a week in advance notice to cancel booking, but they insist on keeping my money. I have lost $200 or so and I'm just not willing to lose more money. We will be staying at All About Dogs in Penn Valley as they don't require a deposit.
I worked here as a teen. Years later when I needed to board my new puppy for 3 days I knew exactly where to go. Service was excellent. I even treated my girl to a spa day on her last day and couldn't be more satisfied. This is my go-to kennel for life.
My dogs have always been family members, so I've relied on trusted friends or relatives to care for them when I travel without them. Unusual circumstances led to putting our dog in a kennel for the first time. All indications are that Empire Kennels took excellent care of our beloved pooch.
Wonderful kennel...wonderful people. They have taken excellent care of my dogs and cats for 23 years now. I can't imagine leaving my dog any place else.
This was our pup's first time at a kennel but he LOVED it! Such nice staff who left me feeling very comfortable leaving our little guy there; he got a good mix of activity and looked almost disappointed when we picked him up. I'd definitely recommend Empire for your go-to dog/cat kennel.
Employees are super friendly. They Listened to my needs of my pets. Very informative. Kennels were clean and every animal seemed happy and well cared for. Day care was a great experience and cost friendly. They have over night care as well.
I have been using Empire Kennels for several years and they have been great! It is the only kennel that my dog has been happy to go to. Very friendly, great with the dogs, and reasonable rates. I highly recommend them. The other review appears to be a personal issue and bears no reflection on the business.
Clean facility, professional and very helpful staff. I love getting the video updates of my pup while I’m away! Only place in town I trust for overnight care aside from family. The grooming is great too :)
I have been a kennel tech my entire working life, after touring every kennel in the local vicinity this was the one and only that I feel comfortable with. Sure enough we had an amazing experience here, I highly recommend it for cats and dogs, wonderful staff, wonderful service, Happy pets!!!!!!!
This past year we boarded our dogs over 4th of July, incredible care. They’ve been unhappy in the past, this time came home happy and excited. Plan to be there for upcoming travel.
Stacey and her family have become our beloved dog’s 2nd family. He loves coming to their property so much! She has taken care of him on a regular basis since he was a puppy, which has made it possible for us to do the traveling we need to do to visit family out of the area, knowing we could leave our dog with her and feel confident about his well-being while we are away. She cares deeply for every dog, tunes into them and their individual personalities, and is very empathic with both people and dogs. She is well aware of their dynamic as a pack, and makes sure to manage every dog’s well-being while they are under her care. She pays attention, and is very caring and comforting. We consider her our dog’s Godmother!
Our dog instantly loved the resort, and we feel so comfortable leaving him there. Stacey has been very welcoming and flexible and is a great communicator, and our dog returns pleasantly tired from all the play time.
Our dog Bandit had a great stay at the Crooked Rooster Dog Resort! They sent me regular pictures of him and daily communication about how he was doing. When I picked him up he looked super happy and tired from playing with all the other dogs. Will definitely use their services again in the future!
The Crooked Rooster Dog Resort is the ideal place for dogs. My dogs loved their time with Stacey. She is a real life dog whisperer. There is so much room for them to run around and so many friends to play with. Stacey treats every dog like they are family, even my lab puppy who ran through the garden and enjoyed barking at nothing what so ever before even the rooster woke up. It is such a great feeling to know that when we have to leave our dogs, they are not only safe and cared for, but blissfully happy. Highly recommend!!
Amazing experience. Stacey kept me updated with photos of my dog’s adventures. My dog had so much fun in their large fenced in yard, and came home so happy and tuckered out. Will definitely be back
Both my dogs and I always always have a great experience at this location. The hosts are very knowledgeable and kind. Stacey seems to know just what my puppers need for the day. Some times is lots of attention, too the freedom to just be a dog with all their friends that come. She also picks up on things for follow up with me in pick up times to ensure their best doggy life ever!
Our dog has been staying with Stacy for years – from being an energetic pup to a more mellow 9 year old. In all ages, he’s always been excited to come play, and always happily tired when we pick him up. He loves the large yard to play with other dogs in or to have quiet time investigating on his own. We trust Stacy and family with him when we’re on long trips and out of the country, knowing she’ll make good judgement calls if needed and give him nurturing TLC at his home-away-from-home.
We always take our dog to The Crooked Rooster whenever we are away. Stacey is kind and gentle we know our pup is well cared for. There is a very large fenced area for the dogs to run and play. Highly recommended for anyone needing care for their dog(s) while they are away, overnights or even just for the day!
Stacey’s is a great home environment for my GSD to stay at. A variety of other dogs to socialize with, plenty of room to roam around and play. Stacey is very nice and patient with Tule! I highly recommend Crooked Rooster Dog Resort. Bill P.
The Crooked Rooster Dog Resort is our #1 doggie day and overnight care in the Grass Valley area. Our dog Rocket is always so excited when being boarded at The Crooked Rooster. We know he's well cared for and has plenty of space to run about while socializing with the other fury guests. Stacey and her family are true gems!
We have been using Becky's pet sitting for 8 years for our dog, "Doug". Doug always is ready to see Becky, and her dogs, and loves it there. When we pick him up he is happy, clean, and well cared for. He has a strict diet and medication and Becky has always managed this well. We find her price of $35 a day to be a bargain for the quality of care Doug receives.
I can not recommend Becky's Pet Sitting enough. Becky saved us in a pinch when we had to relocate our pup while on vacation at the very last minute, then was kind enough to respond to our check-ins promptly and with great pictures and video. Our dog was quite happy playing in Becky's backyard with Becky's own dog, and you can't beat her prices - quite affordable for the quality of care. If you're in the area and need some short-term boarding for your small pup, I really can't recommend Becky enough.
Our two dogs received excellent care with Becky even during a major snowstorm and power outage. She is calm and kind and was well prepared with a generator. We knew our pups were doing well under her care. We will definitely use her services again!
I would highly recommend Becky for all of your dog boarding needs. I feel so lucky to have found Becky! I have a 2 year old hound dog that can be too high energy for people to deal with, I kept expecting a phone call saying it wasn’t working out, but to my surprise Becky handles Arlo very well and seems to have a great relationship with him just like I do! It was an unexpected and added benefit that Becky also works on leash training with him (very important issue). I suddenly noticed he was getting better and better on the leash and I couldn’t believe it. My dog is always happy and tired when he comes home from Becky’s and he is ALWAYS excited to go back! I think he now thinks of Becky as a second mom and he loves her so much, you can tell by how excited he is to go to her house! I couldn’t imagine a better situation for us! There are a lot of options nowadays when it comes to dog boarding but Becky’s Dog Boarding is #1 in our family and I would encourage you to try it too! Becky is wonderful and I am so glad to have her in our lives!
Becky has been a lifesaver. We tried other local boarding options with less than desirable results. Our dog is always happy to see Becky and comes home well loved, clean and happy. We have been taking our dog to Becky for over two years, several times per year and she has always been available to take him even if short notice. We love Becky and would highly reccomend!
Thank goodness for Becky! I love her in home pet care service. Now we don’t have to worry about if our dogs are stressed out in a kennel boarding facility. We know our dogs are being cared for in a home setting and we can feel better about having to leave out of town. A previous review said she was rude but I believe they mistook her “to the point professionalism” the wrong way because she’s very nice. She’s just making sure all dogs are vaccinated and neutered for her safety as well as every pet that stays with her!
I’ve been taking my Australian Shepherd, Mattie, to Becky’s for 12 of her 14 years. The first two years I took Mattie to 2 other boarding facilities and was always apprehensive about her condition when I dropped her off, she was stressed out and reluctant to enter the facilities. When I would pick her up she was frequently was overly excited, lost weight and could take a couple of days to recover. I never had these problems with Becky. Mattie would always gladly trot beside her when I dropped her off and she would run to me when I picked her up looking happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Becky’s Pet Boarding. Another review mentioned Becky had been rude to the reviewer. Becky has always been very professional with me and great with my dog.
Magnolia, our 16 month old girl, was greatly taken care of!!! It was the first time for her(and us) and we were all a bit nervous….but Becky took absolutely excellent care of our girl!!! Definitely recommend and definitely will use Becky in the future!!! Awesome.
I had to go away for a few days and couldn't take and my old beagle with me. Becky responded to my email query very quickly, her rates are great, and she takes excellent care of the pets. She has an enclosed yard for them, and takes care to make sure they are properly vaccinated before accepting them into her care. Can't recommend her any higher!
Great thanks to Google for being able to find the best doggie day care imaginable. From day one, Becky's Pet Sitting has given me the piece of mind to drop the dogs off knowing they were in loving, caring hands. Becky has been caring for my dogs six days a week for over a month. When we turn off Brunswick onto her street the dogs start wagging their tails in anticipation! My highest recommendation!!!
Hazel is absolutely the best. She sends consistent updates and photos while watching my pups, which gives me so much peace of mind. She handled my pack of 4 like a true professional. They have a pretty extensive list of suppliments and medications with each meal. Hazel checked off each one every day during her visits so I could be assured they all received everything they needed. I know she goes above and beyond to make sure my pups are not only taken care of but happy, loved and fufilled while I am away. She has been taking care of my pets for over a decade and I simply will not trust my pets with anyone else.
Hazel is one of the best pet sitters we have ever had. She is professional and goes above and beyond. She makes it possible for me to go on vacation and actually relax and not worry about the pets. She gives daily updates and photos. We always come home to a nice, clean home with happy pets.
