Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
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!
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
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!
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
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!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
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.
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 $25 per visit, 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!
Lindsey (the owner) and her team take such good care of our furbaby, Ember, whenever we board her at the Penticton Pet Resort. Ember is a special needs dog so it is highly important for us to have the kind of reassurance and peace of mind that their facility gives us each and every single time that she is at their place. Rebecca (one of their pet care professionals) has established a strong bond with Ember. She has also taken it upon herself to give Ember that extra care and attention she needs given her unique health condition. We are truly grateful and appreciative of the high level of service the Penticton Pet Resort provides to our family. They are a rare gem in this industry!
Our home was evacuated due to a fire and in an emergency situation Penticton Pet Resort stepped up and made the check in process quick and easy. I was able to communicate through text and send photos of our dogs vaccination records. Without a date for pick up since we didn’t know when we would be allowed home, they looked after our beloved dog and updated us with photos. How ever long we needed, they would be there. In high stress situations, they made our life so much easier. Thank you for helping us and being a reliable and caring business.
Cannot thank the staff at Penticton Pet Resort enough for all of their help / support over the last few years. I often have crazy / last minute work trips and the staff / owner have been incredibly accommodating and responsive in supporting our family with care for my little one. Great upbeat / professional team and Zaya is always happy to be dropped off. Just want to thank Lindsey and rest of the team there for the continued help taking care of Zaya - I have no hesitation to recommend you and full confidence every time I drop her off.
To say Lindsay and her team are the sweetest, most compassionate and animal loving people is an understatement! They really treat your fur babies as their own and show them so much love. We can't even say the word "daycare" anymore or our two big pups go crazy with excitement! I've never had a worry or concern dropping my pups off for any length of time. Best place for pets ever!!
Lindsey and her team are seriously "top notch"! They go above and beyond to ensure my weirdos are happy, healthy and get the most out of their "doggy daycare" / "boarding" experience. I am seriously impressed and you will be too.
I have been taking my dog here for many years now for overnight boarding. He has been returning home happy and healthy every time. The staff are great and the online reservation request is very convenient. My pup gets excited when we pull up to the driveway there so I know he also gives 5 dog bones of excellence!
We've been bringing my (almost) one year old puppy here since he was five months old and I have never been more impressed with such a welcoming staff. They are so kind and treat my pup like he is the best boy in the world. We just picked him up from a two night stay and he didn't want to come home. It's so nice to know we have a safe place for our pup to go if we go away on a trip.
I have had only good experiences with the Penticton Pet Resort. They are accommodating, friendly, and truly care about the pets in their care. My senior dog Pumpkin loves staying at the resort while I’m away and she is always well cared for. I would recommend the Penticton Pet Resort to anyone looking for top notch accommodations for their furry friends.
We recently had our bull mastiff boarded for 11 days. Booking was easy, Lyndsey was easily reachable by phone/text. The facility was clean with friendly staff to receive us early on a Sunday morning. On our return our dog was in excellent condition, she clearly liked the staff and apparently made a few doggy friends. I would absolutely bring my Lola back again. Thanks for taking such good care of our girl.
Was visiting from Calgary and felt so at ease leaving my dog here. The staff were awesome and explained a ton when I dropped her off and then at pick up, they thoroughly explained how she did and how they adjusted her stay to make her comfortable. Highly recommend!
Thank you to the team at Pawlished Pet Grooming. My cat who was feral for years had a huge mat on the back of her spine which she would not let me shave. I brought Rhea in this morning when they opened and I noticed they had another client with a large dog. They had her take her dog back to the car while they quickly shaved off the mat. I really appreciated this gesture as Rhea was quite stressed. It all went very well and she was out in a short time. Thank you again. She is resting and will be much more comfortable without the mat pulling on her skin 🐈⬛❤️
Had to find a new dog grooming place since I recently moved. Glad I found this place. The people are polite and friendly and really care about our fuzzy family members. They gave my Cavalier a great haircut.
Amazing staff and very friendly. Gave my cat a lion cut and it’s perfect. Worked very fast and professionally even took him in earlier
I messaged what I Beleive was the owner beginning of Feb needing a spa day for our kitty. We adopter her in Dec from the SPCA and she really needed her nails trimmed. Well I tried doing it myself and that was a no go. She was a Ferrel cat prior to being caught. She is such a loving cat tho and they said she did amazing and was so adorable. Her temperament really is super good even considering she has 1 eye. They did suxh a great job with her, she cried so hard going there maybe thinking she was being ditched. When I picked her up, dogs barking she was in her carrier in the desk laying down and soooo alm and happy. Thank you for taking such good care of her, she sure must have enjoyed the bath and nail trim. Highly recommend them and we will be back for sure.
Tobey always comes out so happy and well groomed. The staff pay attention to my wishes and I am very happy. Tobey always comes away from there with a new sense of pride as he is so beautiful.
I brought my dog in on Friday and had a great experience. My vet was unable to cut my dog's nails and recommended we do it under sedation at an extraordinary price!! I contacted Pawlished via email and was promptly told they'd be happy to try and to "drop in". The person who cut her nails was very patient and determined! We got it done....and not at $300+ like the vet had said . I called ahead as recommended and was told a good window to drop in. I could not be happier!
I take both of our cats in to get their nails trimmed. Jess has also trimmed around our long-haired cat's behind. Both cats are often skittish because of the dogs but Jess and her colleagues never fail to calm them down. I can't say enough about how obvious it is that they all love animals. That goes a very long way in my book! I'd highly recommend them.
Brought my anxious chihuahua mix in for a nail trim and gland expression. The girl who handled him was so kind and patient and talked him through it, he was squirmy and difficult to handle but she did a fantastic job.
Amanda does a great job on my Pomeranian, Bruno. He is always So happy to see her too! Amanda is a great addition to Pawlished Pet!
I encountered a medical issue while my dog was at Pauline's and I was unable to pick her up. When called and advised about my issue, they kindly and graciously brought my dog to me no questions asked. This alleviated the considerable stress I was already experiencing. Not only was the customer service beyond expectations, my girl looks great too! HIghly recommend.
My pup had a great time with Heather at Naramata Kennels! We are from out of town and she was able to book Chevy in for a day stay while we ran around exploring penticton and floating the channel. He was so pooped when I picked him up, he must of had a blast with the other dogs there! They have big grassy fields with kiddie pools, sprinklers, balls, and tall fences all around if your worried about jumpers/escape artists. Heather was so friendly and made his stay very easy and effortless for me; I will definitely have Chevy stay here again when we plan our future trips.
First time visit today, this place exceeded all of our expectations! Firstly, the staff (Heather and Jen) were incredibly friendly and professional. Our french bulldog took to them right away. Secondly, the facility was fantastic! Tons of space for the dogs to run around and play, multiple kid pools around the property for the dogs to stay cool and exceptional gating and monitoring of the dogs at all times. We are overjoyed to have such an amazing dog daycare in the South Okanagan area and highly recommend this place. Two paws up!!
I can't say enough about what NBK has done for our 6 month old Jacksen. He loves Heather and Jen and is learning to be around other dogs and getting more confidence, not to mention it tires him out. Heather and Jen are amazing with the dogs and their facility is great. Grass fields with pools and constant supervision. I highly recommend NBK daycare.
Our pup had a blast! She was in great hands too, very good people who know what they're doing. We dropped our pup off for 4-5 hours while we were our floating on the channel. Highly recommended!
Great service! They are super responsive, attentive. Took my dog for a day while Wine touring and it’s the best decision I made! Their outdoors, fenced area is huge! Definitely bringing my dog back next time I’m in Penticton!
Sully had a great time at Naramata while we floated down the river! Such a beautiful place with lots of sp for the dogs to run around. He even went swimming in the kiddie pool to cool down!
Those two need to talk to each other. One week one says we want her to become a member and the next week the other says they don’t want her back. Ok. Hearing the same from others now too.
They were really nice and friendly. Roxy loved her play date!
Awesome service. Highly recommend to anyone who loves their dog.
Visiting from out of town caused great anxiety for us as our high energy dogs are hard to manage while trying to visit family members. We contacted Garnet doggy daycare and they were extremely friendly and welcoming. The daycare was easy to find. Our two active dogs were welcomed and extremely well cared for. Kat's love of dogs was evident immediately as she greeted our dogs which was reassuring. She sent us pictures throughout the day, and the dogs were so happy there. They got super excited as soon as we pulled in to the driveway every day and they got to play in nature all day long. They came home tired and ready for a snooze. We will definitely be using their services again the next time we are in town.
Our labradoodle Zofka adores her time at Garnet doggy daycare & boarding! She always finds old and new four-legged buddies there ready to play! Zofka gets plenty of exercise, walks and fun activities. I must point out that even though it sometimes doesn't look like from the photos which are provided to us during the day, she always comes home clean and brushed! We highly appreciate not only the loving and professional care, but especially the fact that Zofka is not locked in a kennel, but is involved in Kate's family, so she does not miss us at all! Our family absolutely recommends Garnet doggy daycare! You will not be disappointed!
They took great care of our pup, Kevin, for the day. He had a blast on his walk and swim. Kat was very easy to get a hold of and provided pictures of Kevin's adventures. Drop off and pick up was easy. Price was very reasonable! Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for taking such great care of Max. We had some real anxiety to leave him behind, but Max clearly enjoyed his stay with Kat. Not only did Kat take great care of Max, she also gave us daily updates with pictures, it was very easy to see that he had such a great time while we were away. Garnet doggie daycare is by far the best daycare we have ever used for Max!
Thank you and your family for taking care of our 4 yr old yellow lab (Shiloh) overnight while we attended a wedding. Because of the heat we did not want to leave her in the trailer for a long period of time. Shiloh loved being at your home (especially the water hole). There was absolutely no separation anxiety when we dropped her off. She seemed to be right in her element. We really appreciated the pictures that you sent us during the day to show us how she was doing. Thank you again. You are a wonderful family.
Very reliable and flexible. They were able to accommodate our needs and last minute bookings. Pictures of our dog were sent to us throughout the day😁 We'd gladly recommend to any pet owners, as they clearly showed passion in taking care of our pup! …
Best dog daycare I have ever experienced, my dog felt just like she was at home. Daily walks, pictures sent through out the day, very professional. Highly recommend
The only place I would leave my dogs over weekend! Kate has over 10 years of experience of taking care of my dogs and i know that they are well taken care of and that they are not in a cage!
My dog Blake had a wonderful time in doggy daycare. I highly recommend!
My puppy LOVES it here!! He gets so much love and attention, with so much excersice!
We had our sweet 10 year old cat with Marge for 3 weeks, she usually doesn’t do well in new environments and dislikes other cats. To our surprise, she adapted so well and gained some cat confidence during her stay! Marge is wonderful, she took such good care of our girl and her space is very well equipped and homey to ensure each cat feels safe. You can tell Marge truly loves all the cats she cares for and she is just the sweetest lady you’ll ever meet. She went above and beyond and kept us up to date during our time away through emails with photos. 100% recommend Little Whiskers Cat Camp.
Marge is the best! I highly recommend her. Her home is a wonderful place for cats. It has been renovated to accommodate all their needs. There are numerous toys and tunnels for them to play. The place is also extremely clean. My cat Misu is always relaxed when I pick her up and this tells me she had a very good time with Marge.
Sweetest lady ever came to the door, introducing herself to our cat, my two children and myself. Gave us a quick tour. Amazing comfortable atmosphere for all involved. Two weeks boarding my cat. When I picked my cat up again, she was calm and relaxed.
Little whiskers cat camp is the best, my cats feel like they are at home when they stay there. They get treated with love, and they come back home happy.
I left my cat Annie here while I was on holidays. I strongly recommend this service. The owner is wonderful!
Excellent service when my mom had our cat there in 2018. The cat was well taken care of
Our rescue dog, Ruby, came to us very dysregulated and struggling during almost all interactions with people and dogs. Since Kirstin came into our lives, Ruby has made huge strides! She sets Ruby up for success, makes sure she feels safe, and creates opportunities for her to work on all of her skills out on the trails. Kirstin is reliable, trustworthy, and always keeps us up to date on how Ruby’s walk went. Kirstin is one of Ruby’s favourite people and we receive a happy and content puppy every time she comes home!
Kirstin is the only qualified dog walker in town - using true up to date fear and force free methods with my dog, Siucra. Siucra is obsessed with her and loves all of their adventures together. I know Siucra is in safe hands and is treated well during her time with Kirstin. She is the only dog walker I feel safe recommending. I wish there were more professionals with Kirstin's standards in the dog industry.
Kirstin took care of our two kitties while we were away on vacation. I can say from our experience she is 100% someone you can trust with your animals and your home. She genuinley loves and understands animals, and as such gives them the best care possible. We appreciated the frequent pictures, videos and updates on our cats. We also appreciate that she comes responsibly prepared with pet first aid, insurance, and animal training courses. If you are looking for someone who will love and care for your pet as much as you, look no further than Wild Sage Pet Care 🐶🐱💚.
Kirstin is extremely professional and has always gone for the extra mile when taking care of our dog Alua. The pictures she sends while we're away always shows her having the absolute time of her life, on walks at the park and the beach. Well worth it.
