Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
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!
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
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 :)
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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!
I first met Sarah through Sublime Canine puppy classes. She seemed to have a lot of knowledge and a great rapport with dogs. I’ve been sending my Cavalier out for hikes with Sarah for about 18 months now. He gets so excited when I tell him “Sarah is coming” — I know it’s the highlight of his week. She also takes awesome photos of the dogs and regularly posts Instagram videos of their hikes. Highly recommend!
We met Sarah through her puppy socialization class and immediately felt at ease with her as she helped us navigate life with our rambunctious Vizsla. Our dog loves Sarah and looks forward to her weekly walks/ hikes. We feel so lucky to have someone who knows so much about dogs and their behaviour walking our dog. We love that her packs are small and she matches dog groupings based on temperament and energy level. She is the only person we feel comfortable leaving our girl with overnight, we know that she will always meet her needs and keep her in check when she needs reminders. As our dog gets older, we love that she can have structured socialization with a professional who gets dogs and their quirks. The pictures on social media are an added bonus to see what she gets up to! Could not recommend Sarah enough.
We met Sarah 6 years ago when we took Sadie to her first puppy class. She then started going on group hikes with Call of the Wild when she was 6 months old and has been going 3 times per week ever since. There is no one Sadie loves more and no one we trust more than Sarah to keep the pups safe. And an added bonus is the training the dogs get while in her care - recall, learning to wait patiently for treats and not jump and grab. She takes care to bring the dogs to areas where there aren’t a lot of people so they can run and swim and play. Sadie comes home tired and happy. Leaving your dog in the care of someone who is also a highly qualified trainer gives us peace of mind and we honestly highly recommend Sarah and Call of the Wild to anyone looking to give their furry friend awesome off leash adventures!
My Boston is 6 yrs old and Sarah has been walking her since she was 6 months old. I trust very few people with my dogs, especially as my girl can be a bit spicy but Sarah manages her flawlessly. My younger boston also now joins the adventures. Sarah is knowledgeable and trustworthy I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walker/ trainer.
Buffy has been going out with Sarah for nearly 5 years now. Sarah is great with the dogs and, as others have noted, posts lots of photos and videos of the dogs having a great time on their off-leash walks. All I have to say is "Sarah is coming" and Buffy is at the front door quivering in anticipation. We trust Sarah implicitly with our dog. Thank you Sarah!
We have been customers for more than 5 years and highly recommend. Sarah at Call of the Wild Canine Services provides reliable and expert services. Our dog, Sophie, looks forward to the outings and we feel great that she gets so much off leash and social time in nature with someone so thoughtful about Sophie’s enjoyment and safety.
Sarah has been walking my two doodles for over three years. Not only do my dogs love her, but she posts her walks on IG so I can actually see how much fun they have. I highly recommend her advice and dog walking service.
Watching the joy on my dogs face when he’s out on a group walk with Call of the Wild Canine Services makes my heart sing. Highly recommended’
Happy Homes Boarding was amazing. My dog had a blast! It was clear he was well loved during his stay.
We’ve taken our dog Luna here twice now and both times have been great. Thank you Rebecca for putting up with all my questions and check ins!!
Are you still open and boarding dogs? I called and left a message but didn't hear back.
