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!
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
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!!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
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!
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!
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 $30 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!
BIG shout out to Whitsunday Pet Resort. Linda & John's highest quality of care & excellence in accommodation. With no children, my Rexy Ragdoll is my child of 13 years. Nowhere else do I feel his safety when I'm away. Thank you for treasuring my VIP for the passed 10 years and for the future. I appreciate all your professional care 💙
Can’t recommend highly enough. Linda made us feel very welcome & Cooper ( our JR ) loved her straight away. If you leave your pets here, you won’t regret it. HIGHLY recommend :)
I couldn't be more pleased with the care and consideration given to our 10 year old Schnoodle, Zellie, during her stay with the Whitsunday Pet Resort. Linda was super helpful and alleviated our anxiety with her interest and kindness, giving us the opportunity to relax as we sailed around the Whitsunday Islands. We got updates and photos and Zellie came back happy, clean and fluffy. We'll definitely be booking her in again next year when we're sailing up this way. Thank you Whitsunday Pet Resort 😊
Our dog did not stay at the pet resort. Making a booking was extremely bureaucratic and cumbersome. You need a laptop or tablet as the website is not user friendly for mobile phones. We attempted to visit the resort to inspect the premises as to whether it would be suitable for our dog. We had no success as the hours were inflexible and there was no latitude allowed by the owners. ( we were advised that this was due to Council regulations?) The website has appointment times for arrivals and departures but not for assessments. The website purports to care about your pet by stating that they understand how stressful separation can be for pet owners - how can one assess the premises?? There is no overnight rate for your pet although there is a daily rate. To overnight you must pay for 2 days. The owners argue that the daily rate can be achieved by a drop off between 8:00 - 9:50am and pick up 3:00 - 4:50pm. THIS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR MOST DAY TOURS ex Airlie Beach. The rules for the daily rate are explained in the FAQ’s which somewhat buried in the marketing dialogue. Considering that the pet resort is a 14km 15min drive from the Coral Sea Marina, one would wish to believe that the pet resort owners would be more proactive with tourism operators & flexible. The home page for the website states that the hours of operation are closed for the Easter Break - in August?. The phone answering service says to leave a message and a team member will be in touch. We suspect there is no admin team other than the husband & wife. This pet resort came highly recommend however, we found that the registration process and lack of availability to assess the environment for our dog was overly bureaucratic and extremely frustrating. Our dog had a great stay elsewhere, where the owners worked with us and our tourism requirements. .
We have used Whitsunday Pet Resort a number of times to care for our girl “Charm” Fantastic place to leave your dogs. Owners are very experienced handlers of high drive dogs.Always have piece of mind when we leave our girl there.
We are a vet and vet nurse travelling around Australia and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave our 2 big boys with Linda and John again. (I wish they had a resort in every state!) They are so professionally comprehensive and know their stuff! We have a ridgeback and a ridgeback cross who got lots of love and attention as well as some adorable photos. We would recommend WPR to anyone who wanted to know their pets were in capable hands
John and Linda, we can not thank you enough for the loving care that you provide for our 3 fur babies. Whether its a weekend or a couple of weeks away we have no hesitation in putting our precious fur babies in at Whitsunday Pet Resort. You cannot fault the quality of care & love provided by Whitsunday Pet Resort.
I have been using WPR for 11 years now and cannot fault them. They are very attentive to your fur baby's needs. My dog loves going to his resort and cannot wait to get out of the car every time we attend. On collection he is super shiny, healthy and happy. They will never put your fur baby into an unsafe environment and go above and beyond in their care and professionalism. I cannot recommend them enough. You get what you pay for, and WPR is fully experienced, accredited, registered and insured to enable you to confidently leave your pet in their very safe hands.
WPR absolutely rocks. John and Linda are awesome. I am truly at ease with leaving my fur children in their care♡ Our babies have been VIP's for over 2 years and we wish we found you guys sooner. Highly recommend.
I would definitely recommend Whitsunday Pet Resort. We wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after our 2 dogs. We’ve got dogs that require extra attention (1 dog who is a Houdini and can escape any fence and 1 who is very very large and requires someone who understand the unique needs of a dog this size). We always feel completely comfortable leaving them at Whitsunday Pet Resort as we know that they have the knowledge and skill set necessary to care for our dogs. Dropping them off and picking them up is a breeze and they always come home smelling delightful after their bath! Our boys have been staying at Whitsunday Pet Resort for the last couple of years and their most recent visit was their longest and most eventful. Over their 5 week visit, cyclone Debbie hit the area. We were very worried about how our fur babies were coping but were amazed at how quickly John and Linda were posting updates on their website about the welfare of all the pets in their care (especially considering that they didn’t have any power or phone reception!). They really put us at ease knowing that our boys were being so well cared for and were oblivious to all that was going on around them. We will continue to always leave our beloved pets in John and Linda’s care when we go away knowing that they genuinely care for them as much as we do!
Belinda, was so good from initial enquiry to booking to dropping off and collecting our furbaby. She doesn’t make it difficult by having set time frames and her rate is very good. Given the opportunity, we would definitely use Abindas again, and highly recommend.
Highly recommended. My puppy was well looked after, friendly service, reasonable prices. Will reuse the service for sure.
5 stars is NOT enough for this lovely buisness! Need 10 stars for a 10 out of 10 We used Jodie to help us at our wedding with my special little man Nero .. the service was AMAZING. had our complete trust looking after Nero from the meet and greet, picked up our little man from conway, bought him to our wedding to be our ring bearer ❤️ Then showed him off to all our family & friends before taking him back to his farm stay carer .. Shannae was there assisting Nurse Jodie again BOTH were amazing Thank you both for everything you did to make our day perfect.
Our pets have been seeing Jodie as a vet nurse for the past few years. We were super excited when she started this new venture as having 2 large dogs, it's really important for us to have someone they know look after them when away. It was just a short holiday this time but Jodie visited twice a day, played with them, fed them and gave them some love! She also sent us some photos which was a great touch and helped ease our mind and meant we could enjoy the holiday and know the pets were in great hands! Highly highly recommend!
Awesome service, great price. Do your dogs a favour and call Ace Pet services. Very professional, our dogs look forward to their walks with Ace .
Our Ziggy had the best of care while we were holidaying at Whitsunday. Highly recommend Jodie if you want your pet to be happy and safe!
I can't recommend Nurse Jodie's Pet Services enough! Our Moodle Sooty had the BEST day with Jodie and her gorgeous golden furbaby Harriet. Thank you xx
Jodie is amazing! I wouldn’t trust my miniature daschund and cat with anyone else. She takes care of them like they are her own animals 🥰🐶🐱 …
