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.

Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
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.
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
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.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
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 $20 per visit, $15/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!
Our dogs love Tails Inn! Our girl doesn't do well with other dogs, so we love that the dogs play only with their family dogs and with the staff, instead of lots of stranger dogs playing together. Ours just can't handle that and I'm so glad Tails Inn exists! The owner is so kind and happily will administer meds and special treats and meet all of our dogs' needs. I couldn't recommend Tails Inn enough!
Lucy spent the weekend with Andee . She wears a Fi collar so it tracks her activity. She was a busy girl running and being active, which is important being a Shepherd/ catahoula mix. Thank you Andee for taking good care of Lucy. We appreciate it. I would recommend Tails Inn for your boarding needs.
Took care of my pup very well. Always were happy to update me on how he was doing. Definitely would recommend!
We love Andee at the Tails Inn! Not only has she taken good care of our dog Rip but she has given us priceless puppy advice.
Always a great place to take our dog max he has been going here since he was a puppy 🐶 super nice staff and accommodating. Max might like being there more than at home he is always excited to go. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ …
I highly recommend boarding your pet here! We have a rescue dog who has some ~social challenges~. We made sure they were fully aware of his issues before our trip and they were entirely comfortable with handling it. He did great there! Absolutely no issues. Thankfully, they have genuine animal experience so truly know how to handle the animals properly. It is nice to have a boarding facility where I know my pet is happy and safe!
We have had issues with boarding our anxious dogs in the past that led to emergency surgery and they no longer do well with other dogs. Finding a boarding facility that can facilitate our needs with anxious dogs that can’t intermingle has been hard to find, but Tails Inn has always done a great job with our dogs and accommodating us! I highly recommend them!
Would board my dogs there again. Very accommodating, took both dogs on short notice. Only surprise for us was cash or check only.
We took our dogs here when my wife and I went on vacation. The owner is very friendly and transparent about the prices. She wrote down all necessary information about our dogs and there needs. Thank you for the great service you provided to our hairy friends and I would highly recommend this business to anyone.
My name is Biscuit and I am a very handsome Westie. My family keeps calling me cute, but please remember that I am HANDSOME! So my family and I all went down to Idaho for several days. Because they were going to Silverwood Theme Park one day and shopping another, they needed to find Doggie Daycare for me for those days. My Mom found Tails Inn in Rathdrum. I really loved AnnDee and Diana. They played with me LOTS and I had a yard to run around in. And when I got tired, I had my own place to chill out! I liked it so much that on the second day I was so excited that I forgot to say goodbye to my family when the dropped me off! I don’t remember much after they picked me up both days cause I really needed a good long nap! For all you other doggie boys and girls out there, tell your families about Tails Inn. It was the best and I can’t wait to go back next year!
Super clean, I get daily updates and pictures. Love that she wants vet records before boarding. Highly recommend this place.
It is said that all you need is "love and a dog." I also need to travel. When I do my 10 year old rescue lab enjoys staying at Critter Camp. He has stayed for weekends and also for longer time periods which have included up to three weeks. I get updates on how my dog is doing when I am on the road. Thank you for serving our community so well, Colville Critter Camp!
This is a great place to leave your dog when needed. Kennels are clean and well maintained. Dogs get out to play. Teri and her staff obviously like dogs and take great care of them. So nice to leave my dog with confidence that she will be well cared for and happy to return for her next visit.
I would highly recommend Colville Critter Camp! The kennels are large and spacious and I love the outdoor play area! Terri is very knowledgeable and you can tell she loves working with dogs. I will definitely be back!
My experience at Colville Critter Camp was nothing short of distasteful and unprofessional. When we arrived to drop off our dogs, the kennels reeked of urine and it was apparent it had not been cleaned thoroughly for a bit. The attitude from the staff was nothing good either, we were treated as if we were an inconvenience and quickly rushed in and out despite there being practically little to no line. They didn’t seem to know what was going on and didn’t even ask for payment; we had to be the one to remind them to take the check. They sent us through a last-minute chase to get a vaccine for our dogs only to not even request to even see the paperwork when we were in person. In short, it was extremely unorganized and unprofessional. When we came back to pick up our dogs at 11:30 AM, nobody was there. On their website, their hours claim to be 8 AM - 5 PM Monday through Saturday. We had to call the owner multiple times in order to reach her because nobody was attending the dogs during work hours. She responded on the third call and explained that she was on a “cruise in Canada” which is outrageous. If you’re going to go on a cruise, then do NOT take new customers. I would not like to see the excuse of it being last minute because even still, you can make sure not to take new customers in order to prevent a terrible experience like this. When she was calling us, she had an annoyed tone as if we were inconveniencing her relaxing vacation while we waited 20 minutes for someone to show up to give us our dogs. Her tone was snarky, especially when she said that staff were “unavailable and couldn’t be there for 10 minutes, so you’ll just have to wait. Bye.” There were dogs just left outside without supervision which is incredibly unprofessional as they could easily hurt themselves or find a way to escape. Even when another staff arrived, we were STILL treated with disrespect and blatant disregard for our situation and as if, again, we were an inconvenience. She hurried us out because she didn’t want to be there. When we asked her about feeding, she said the next feeding was at 1pm despite us clearly giving her instructions multiple times to feed our dogs at 12. We were under the impression that staff would be there from 8am-5pm, but instead, the staff member shrugged and said “I just show up at 6:30AM-9AM and then 1PM-4PM.” Due to the website stating staff would be with our animals, this is OUTRAGEOUS as we were outright lied to about our dogs getting proper time. This means that our animals were sitting in kennels without ANY play time and probably 1-2 pee times a day. I looked through the materials we provided them (treats, letters regarding what they like/dislike — which was encouraged to be provided by the way, toys, etc) and not a bit of it was touched. The letters regarding details about them were at the bottom of the bin, clearly not touched and not a single treat was gone from the bag despite us instructing them to give them to the dogs freely. Our dogs seemed like they were not played with and once more, the kennels smelled wretched as if they were not cleaned. When our dogs came home, they seemed dehydrated and couldn’t get enough of the water bowl. There was one singular thing good about our boarding experience that gained them one star: our dogs were not malnourished or injured — the BARE MINIMUM. I don’t recommend this place as our experience here was not worth the money whatsoever, so I say to anyone who’s thinking of boarding here: Stay far away and board your dogs elsewhere.
My pup Sitka has been to critter camp multiple times and I’ve only had good experiences. The owner is attentive and professional and my pup is always happy to see her and go to her! Thank you Teri!
I would highly recommend letting your furry friends stay or play at Colville Critter camp. The owner Terry and her family take great care of all their doggie guests and treat them as if they were their own. I was away on a trip that got extended twice and Terry graciously looked after and loved our puppy until I got home. She keeps her kennels clean, warm and safe and loves on all the dogs she cares for. She even sent me update videos so I could see how my dog was doing which allowed me to relax while I was away. If you need a place for your puppy pals while you’re away this is the place to take them. They will be well cared for until you return!
Only place we entrust with our fur babies. The care goes above and beyond what you would normally expect from a boarding facility. Terri is very diligent with keeping her kennels clean and free of illness. The facility is very well organized and provides plenty of space for the dogs to play indoors and outdoors! She carefully screens and gets to know her four legged guests before their stay to ensure a great experience with all types of temperaments. She also has many years of knowledge and experience in K9 health. We had so much peace during our two week vacation knowing that our two dogs were safe, healthy, and happy at Colville Critter Camp. Bonus: she even groomed them before our return!
Colville Critter Camp is the absolute best! The facility is very clean and plenty of room for fur babies to play. Terri is amazing. She was able to train my very active, overstimulated Shepadoodle. He is now a polite gentleman. He absolutely loves going to see Terri. Hands down the best kennel I’ve ever used.
The facility is wonderful- super clean, safe, & fun for the dogs! The owner is so kind and you can tell really loves the dogs and what she does! Our pup will definitely be back😊 …
Lauri took amazing care of our small farm while we were out of state! She managed nearly 40 head of sheep, a horse, guardian dogs, chickens & cats like a pro. Lauri also kept my tomatoes alive and well for me. 🥰She paid attention to every detail and gave us such peace of mind while being so far away. We would highly recommend their services!
A Whole Lot of Service at a Great Price Excellent and surprisingly comprehensive service. Very professional. Lauri exceeded all of our expectations the first day we met her, and then she went above and beyond that for the week we were away. Honestly, I think she loves animals more than paying customers, and there doesn't seem to be much limit to the care she is willing to provide. She collected our mail, watered our horse, checked on our chickens, and even brought the cats catnip just because. Everything was performed exactly as requested, on time and with a clearly conscientious dedication to her work and the animals. I would absolutely hire TLC Pet Sitters again. Thank you Lauri!
I can't recommend TLC Pet Sitters enough! I was looking for "like-home" care for my two dogs and got exactly that and more. Tom and Lauri are both so kind and they love and care for your animals like their own. Super personalized care - I really couldn't ask for more!
Took our 1 year old yellow lab here for a week and he will NEVER go back. Prior to his boarding with these sitters the owner commented on how sweet he was and he was showed the farm where he was mobbed by all of her small aggressive dogs to the point he had to cower behind his mom. After a week at her farm he came home with two 1”+ cuts around his eye that were still bleeding and that probably should be stitched and he appeared to have lost 10 to 15 lbs. She then has the nerve to say that he is agressive to other dogs. If that were the case, it would be the first time since he is well socialized and has never had issues with other dogs or the baby and toddler that he lives with. To top it all off initially she said it would only be $25 a day, but upon returning she charged $30 a day with no explanation.
TLC Pet Sitters cares for my dog like he is their own. He loves them, too, and why wouldn't he with the pampering he gets there! I have peace leaving my pets in their care, and that's saying a lot!
Our boys had the bast time! They played and worked and played some more. Tom and Lauri made them feel like they were home. I'm would recommend them to all my doggy mommies and daddies. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our furry kids!
We have boarded all our dogs here. Just love Tom and Laurie. You can just tell they love the animals they sit. Too bad there is someone else using their name.
The carrot that the dogs get is unmatched. The correspondence to the pet owner is also unmatched. Cannot say enough good things about Lori and Tom's Pet Care Service.
I love my 4 dogs, flock of sheep, chickens and cats...but I think TLC loves them (and takes care of them) even better than I do!
The owners are wonderful. My dog loves them almost as much as she loves us and feels right at home there.
