Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Our review is written by Steven (house owner, host + my father) + also by Kim (the daughter). Written by Kim: This was our first house sit since the passing of my mother in late Dec 2023. I was helping my father Steven (whose profile it is) manage all the emails + try + find a great house sitter + came along Gretchen’s profile! Not only is she a cool cat + someone you might want to get to know, I found myself quickly talking to her. I shortly found out her profile is just a glimpse of how interesting she is but talking to her was so much better! She is a world traveler with many experiences + stories to share. We quickly became conversationalists who could talk forever + probably will continue to do so! Thank you TH! She is easy to communicate with + continued the consistent communication all along our journey of having her as our *first* guest after my mom’s passing. It was clearly a time filled with anxiety + sensitivity so there were some sensitive topics to go over + Gretchen got it right away. A few of our rooms in the house were off-limits (as they housed my mom’s things) but we reassured her the house has ample space for her to enjoy + there are many lovely outdoor spaces to boot! When she arrived she felt she was in paradise + really relished in the outdoor beauty + the indoor coziness. We were happy to share it with someone who appreciated it so much! She also was very understanding with the fact that both my dad + I would both be involved as we both handled different parts of the stay. Me, writing + setting up the Welcome Guide + would go over the situation but then upon her arrival my dad would take over + answer any questions mostly during her sit. The good part of having 2 people is she had accessibility to us both, in the case she needed it + sometimes it came up! She juggled all the communication oh so well. My mom usually handled most of the logistics so this being our first time we were nervous something would come up we might not know but it didn’t! It was new territory for us + we wanted to make sure she had everything. Gretchen handled it all with such ease, seamlessly, really respecting our wishes/desires + taking all the information into her hands + making it seem easy on her end to do so. She was easy to coordinate schedules with! There was a gap in her 1st + 2nd sit but everything went seamlessly even when my flight had a day long delay. She was able to coordinate schedules with me arriving in between, then leaving, my dad arriving different days + us extending the trip too. It all worked out! We were all a good team! She absolutely loved our older cat, Benny + he fast + furiously fell in love with her oh so easily. When I saw him, he looked oh so loved + after saying hi to me went over to ‘her’ bed + slept there waiting for her to come back. She sent many pictures, videos + even cute creations + toys she made for our Benny + it was obvious the house + our Benny were her first priority. She even asked us if she could help prune our flowers/shrubs, something my mom used to do + honestly it was an honor to hear her ask that. She was welcome to set up her art studio + play away. She was very communicative when our house cleaner, landscape gardener + house manager showered up for different reasons. When I arrived back for a short stint before she came back the 2nd time our mail was so well organized it was an assembly line! She also offered to take down our xmas tree (as we were a bit behind in taking down our xmas decorations) + she was sensitive to the fact that we were adjusting to a new normal. Thank you so much Gretchen! You made our first sit in a long time so seamless + such a relief that we are ready now to host again. We only wish we could have more Gretchen’s! (She’s also a super talented artist!) Written by Steven: Overall, Gretchen has been an absolute treasure. She has fulfilled our goals for a house sitter perfectly - she took good care of the house, great care of our treasured pet, Mr. Benny + took care of the grounds such as watering a few plants + trees. She excelled in all the above + is welcome back anytime I will be out of town in the future.
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
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!!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
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 :)
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!
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, $20/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 have used barking around the clock for doggy daycare and had a very good experience. We have power breed dogs and this location and the staff here are great with recognizing all different types of dog needs and making sure that dogs work together, stay safe and have an enjoyable day. We've also used their services for in-home pet care. Overnight stays included. We have used them for dog walks and random cat feedings when necessary for our pets as well for trips away from home. They are trustworthy, dependable and communicate amazingly with you about your pets while you're away from your fur babies. They even went out of their way to help care for one of my sick pets when I had an emergency. Not everyone would do that for you. The caring that you get from the staff here is beyond compare. They feel like family. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for help with their pets at home or at a facility.
Affordable, amazing and down right awesome! We have had an AMAZING experience with them. They are so friendly, very open and have great communication. My dog, Flash, LOVED coming here. We were only going to bring him one day of our vacation, but even driving by, he got way too excited. We ended up doing drop offs almost every day because it was better then him being in the hotel room. They even bathed him for us for an excellent price. I HIGHLY recommend these guys and ask for a grooming. I'm simply amazed and appreciate the hospitality for our fur baby. I would give a million stats if I could!!!
**2023 UPDATE** Each pup's journey is unique, our experience was a positive one. While I'm truly sorry to hear about your pup's tough time, I wanted to share a heartwarming story from our visit Sunday at Paws & Claws. Our 15-year-old Figgins, a charming cocker/sheltie mix had quite the tangled tale to tell. We took him to Paws & Claws grooming salon, "grooming aversive" and in need of some extra TLC. The groomer met with the me, discussed his specific needs, and took special care to ensure Figgins felt safe and comfortable throughout the process. I received a call to pick up him up, and our groomer came out to chat about what they were able to do for him. The result? The best grooming experience Figgins has had in his impressive 15 years! ———————————————————————- Never have I met a kinder group of people to care for my critters. Genuine care, I’m saying! They have come to my home to pick up my pup for a day of day care when I injured my knee- and returned her home letter that day! They are always there to take out for babies in whenever we need them where they receive the Royal Treatment the whole time that they’re there.
Both dogs and humans receive top quality personal attention from Katelyn & Jaden at Paws & Claws. Katelyn has learned from her experience at big kennels in Texas and California that dogs are happiest and most relaxed when in a pack rather than locked in individual cages . Watch as your dog is introduced to the other dogs, a few at a time, upon arrival. Even at night all dogs are watched over. Reasonable rates. Even outside official hours you will be served if you happen to arrive late. K&J are working on setting up a dog taxi to drop off or pick up your family members in the Ocean Shores area. How is that for convenience? When your dog is at Paws & Claws you have no reason for worry or concern, your dog is in canine heaven!
This is now called Barking Around The Clock. I am extremely satisfied with the grooming services here. I called on Friday and they scheduled both of my girls to come in on Monday for grooming. Both of my female dogs are Husky mix with thick under coats. My Bernese Mountain dog/Husky mix had a crazy long thick coat about 8 inches long all the way around her body, they groomed her exactly as I asked including nails, teeth brush and her ears have never been so clean. I was amazed at the grooming quality and the great price for the heavy grooming that was required for both my girls. My Sydney (Bernese Mix) is 8 years old with hip dysplasia, she usually is in a lot of discomfort after a day at the groomer, but she was fine and in very happy spirits. I could definitely tell that they took very good care of my girls during the grooming process. I used the same groomer in Las Vegas for 25 yrs and I am so happy to have found one here in OS that will serve my pets with all of the excellence of their former groomer. If I am ever in need to board my pets, I will not hesitate to use Barking Around The Clock.
My fiancé and I went out of town on vacation and boarded our pup here. They were amazing! I was gonna be late getting into town and they had him dropped off at my apartment so I didn’t have to wait until the next day to go pick him up. When he arrived home I could tell that even through his anxiety he had a good time! When I took him for his temperament test one of the ladies met us outside and he went up to her like he had known her his whole life, and when we went in to drop him off for the 2 nights he went right in with no problems (until I left but that’s a him problem definitely not their fault!). They were amazing with my separation anxiety ridden dog! Will definitely be back when needed
I had a problem here, but not necessarily a repeating problem. A large husky-type dog mouthed and terrified my toy Aussie. I had to yell at the dog because there was no supervisor in the room. My poor baby was shaking. The dog was crated, but the damage was done. Fortunately, there was no physical harm. Not sure about taking my dogs back at this point. I understand that mistakes can be made, but I think that this was foreseeable and preventable.
I have used Paws and Claws several times in the past both for grooming appointments and for daycare. The staff at Paws and Claws have always been extremely caring for my dog. My dog is a rescue and has a tough time trusting others, but the staff at Paws and Claws has always been patient and gentle with her as she warms up. I highly recommend Paws and Claws’ services!
We love brining our Stanley here! They are always so caring with him-he is a small dog and a bit timid. The grooming has been really great too! They really love the dogs that they take care of!
Great place for grooming! My little lady Roxy had a spa day and she's beautiful! Thank you so much!
Years ago, I was a veterinarian in the Grays Harbor area. I used to bring Ace, my lab mix, to Three Sisters often. Despite his severe separation anxiety, he absolutely loved coming here and I was very pleased with the facility, price, and kindness of Gina and Rachel. They were very accommodating to our busy schedule. Ace crossed the rainbow bridge a few years back, but I will forever be thankful for services Three Sisters provided when we called Grays Harbor County, Washington our home.
It's always a great experience, with Three Sisters. We have taken our dogs to them for many years. Great people and good facilities and our dogs have always loved the owners. I highly recommend Three Sisters
We have taken our 3 girls here a couple of times. I feel happy and confident that they are having a blast and are well taken care of. They know the drill and hop right out of the car when we arrive! Love taking them here!
They are just the absolute best. Our dog Skye has been coming here for years and she loves going there so much. It’s the only place our dog will hop out of the car to go into. The people running it are great to work with as well.
I can not begin to tell you how much we love Three Sister's Boarding ♥️. Our Crazy Chocolate Lab, Daisy loves it. We took her the first time at 11 months old. We had paid for training at a facility in Tumwater and she truly learned nothing. After going to Three Sister's she is a different behaved dog. I know they do NOT provide training, but I think she learns from the other dogs. We have been taking her since 2021 and she loves it. We ask her, " Do you want to go to the Ranch " and she perks up and is ready to go. We would never leave her in anyone's care. We highly recommend Three Sister's for you Boarding needs Debbie
The best. They take very good care of your pets and the cleanliness is superb. They walk the dogs and play with them. They aren’t stuck in kennels all day. I would recommend them to a thousand people hands down. Great place.
My first experience with a kennel and it was excellent. I met one of the owners and got a completely warm, caring and genuine vibe from her. They went above & beyond to care for my buddy.
We couldn’t be any happier with three sisters this is our dogs second stay . They have a large play / exercise area that is so clean and well kept. We took a 10 day trip and it was nice knowing that our dogs were being well taken care of. Our female golden seemed to not eat the first time we gave them some food additive to add to their food. The kind lady at three sisters sent my wife a video of her eating, my wife was able relax knowing she was eating. It’s very comforting knowing your dogs are getting loving attention while you are traveling. Thank you Three Sisters
I’m new to the area and am thrilled to have found a boarding facility I can trust. Three Sisters offers group playtime several times a day, so my boy can get the exercise and socialization he needs. They have a great setup and are very reasonably priced. They have been welcoming, flexible and communicative with me.
3 Sisters is the very best boarding facility we've used in 50 years of dog ownership. We drive from Olympia to take our beagles there. The multiple playtimes that the dogs get daily tire them out. They are as excited to go there as they are when we arrive to take them home. We are so lucky to have them care for our beagles.
We left for a week out of state and needed help with short notice. Maria's schedule was pretty full, but she was able to help us out. She strives to help if she can. We have dogs, cats, fish and birds that were cared for the entire time we were gone. We received a consultation where we walked through all the specifics prior to leaving. We met our sitters in advance. They interacted with the pets for a while before we left, so we could introduce everyone. We do have some pets with anxiety, so this was important to us. We had our first vacation with real peace of mind because of Happy at Home Pet Sitting and their outstanding services. We spent years finding the right way to be able to leave town, not worry and have our pets routines uninterrupted as much as possible. This will be our long term first choice whenever we leave for vacations, or on business. The prices are more than fair. Our pets were unfazed by our leaving because they had the necessary support while we were gone. We would recommend Maria and Happy at Home Pet Sitting for anyone that would like peace of mind, quality care for your pets at an affordable price. Short or long stay, use Maria & her team for your pets while you're away!
Maria has been absolutely wonderful with our cats and our dog Arrow! We feel so lucky to have found her, its comforting knowing our pets are safe and happy when she is there. Maria has done feedings and medications with playtime for us a few times and visits always come with an update and cute pictures!
I recently used Happy at Home Pet Sitting Service to care for my 10 year-old cat, Zoey. Zoey is not terribly used to being left alone (thanks, Covid!), so, I was somewhat apprehensive about leaving her without me for 10 days while on a trip. Maria stopped by before my trip and got to know Zoey and me, and provided assurances that my furry friend would be very well cared for. Maria explained everything about her services, provided references and brochures, and said that in my case, her company had a local sitter who would care for Zoey while I was away (the local person also stopped by before my trip to meet Zoey and me). While I was on the trip, I received a daily text update and periodic photos of Zoey. Maria had her staff follow all of my instructions and I could tell that Zoey had been well cared for while I was gone. Maria's prices are very reasonable and the fact that she has been in business for so long says a lot about the integrity of her service. She obviously takes pet sitting very seriously and provided the highest level of care for my Zoey. I could not be more satisfied. When I called my local vet to inform them that Maria and her team would be watching Zoey (in case a medical emergency), the vet said they are familiar with Maria's service and spoke highly of her. I think Maria has a lot of clients and is busy...but she made time for me and I will be using her service when I travel again in the near future. David, Ocean Shores.
Love love love! First impression...I contacted Maria and she quickly responded. This has continued throughout our relationship with her. When it comes to our furbabies, we know how important timely replies are! After that, she met us to go over our expected services and meet our sitter. After the service... We found nice notes journaling our dog's disposition and activities when the sitter visited. I 100% completely trust and recommend this company! Maria has been wonderful about following up to be sure we were happy afterward. I really can't say enough good about them. One last thing...icing on the cake...reasonably priced! Just an update... We have used Happy at Home 3 times now. Our oldest dog, Abe, used to get very stressed when we got the suitcases out. Now that he knows Happy at Home ladies will be coming by, he could care less if we leave!
I tried contacting these people multiple time, but each time it just rang and rang till I hit the answering machine. I left a voicemail and got no returning call. Basically what's the point of having a business if you can't even answer a phone.... thanks to these people I wasn't able to find a place for my dog when a emergency popped up and I had to put my dog in the pound. Please take down your website if you don't answer. Or at least put business hours down. A very poorly ran business
Maria and her team are excellent. Highly recommend!
They take great care of our dogs and kitty, and the daily dog club visit is awesome, and well worth peace of mind! Happy dogs!☺
Lovely people who look after our wee hairy beasties very well.
Fantadtic service! They do a great job with our furbabies
Maria and crew go above and beyond!
