"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
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!
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
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!!
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!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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, 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!
My usual boarder does not have climate controlled facilities and I needed to board my dog on short notice in the middle of an extreme heat wave. I was worried about him being exposed to such heat for several days continuously. I happened to stumble across 100 Love and I could not have been happier. Britton is wonderful to work with and truly loves animals. My dog, Jack, was so well taken care of I'm pretty sure he didn't want to come back home! Jack made a new friend (Ellie), got frequent walks, played in the creek to cool off, was given toys to play with, and even got to play fetch (which is his favorite thing on earth)! He wasn't just left in a cage all day and taken out for brief bathroom breaks like typical boarders - he was part of a family and always had human interaction. We got frequent photos and updates so I never had to worry how Jack was doing. I will never use another boarder! I can't recommended 100 Love (and Britton, personally) enough.
TLDR: I literally can’t recommend this pet sitter enough. Professional, kind, and generally excellent. We have 3 pets (2 dogs and a cat) and had plans to go out of town for close to a week. Our pets are, to be frank, a bit needy/spoiled/friendly and really like having frequent contact and access to people. For this reason we were looking high and low for a pet sitter where we could board them without having to go to a facility where they would spend so much time in a cage and/or alone. We were recommended to Britton and 100 Love Pet Care by our veterinarian (Salem Animal Hospital) and I’m so grateful that we were lead here. I am confident that they all 3 received the best possible care while I was away. Britton provided regular updates with photos which if you like me miss your buddies when you’re separated is so appreciated. He will detail their daily activities and share anecdotes which made me feel so comforted. The business is operated in a woodsy area and it almost seemed like we sent our pets to summer camp. They took our dogs on hikes, gave them plenty of love, and even made every effort to ensure the comfort of our cat including putting soft places to sit in higher up areas where they thought she might like to go. If you want your pets to have a lovely vacation while you do, this is absolutely the place. Thank you so much again! 😊
After a wonderful stay with 100 Love Pet Care I just wanted to say again that I cannot recommend them enough as a long time pet haver and a (maybe a bit overbearing) pet mom. Going to boarding used to something that both our dogs and cat, but especially my mother’s very anxious aging girl, were incredibly not happy about and there was pulling at leashes and whimpering when we had to leave the leashes with someone else and walk away. Ever since we switched to coming here though, my little guy is excited to get out of the car when he sees Britton (the owner) through the window walking out to greet us and my mother’s dog doesn’t shake or get upset like she used to. Even our cat, who is incredibly social but like most cats gets skittish and nervous in new or unfamiliar situations comes out and sits with the group and asks for scratches. It probably doesn’t hurt for the cat that they also make every effort to ensure her comfort and feeling of security through means such as adding soft and comfy blankets or towels to even weird high perches so no matter where she decides to roam there’s a spot made for her. How do I know she does this you may ask? Well, in addition to providing excellent care to the animals, the customer service is unmatched. I receive updates throughout the day of what activities were done or where they walked to or even simple things like what they seemed interested in which for me as a person who misses my pets terribly when I’m away is so nice and reassuring. And to that end, there are plenty of things they get to do provided the owners allow it. As a kid we joked about the dog going to the “puppy hotel”, but this place to me is best described as Puppy Sleep Away Camp. Their facilities are a bit of a hike from Roanoke but the distance is well worth it. Our dogs got to go on regular hiking expeditions, go in (or just near enough for my prissy dog) to the creek, and just general experience the best parts of the outdoors that I can only give them when I have the time to go out a bit. My pups always return a bit worn out, but for the best reason. Lastly I’ll say that it’s such a huge comfort know that they receive real human companionship consistently from people who really care instead of the crate sitting and 2 walks a day customary at boarding facilities. I’ve been a bit verbose, but all of this is to say that I’m so happy to have found this place and cannot recommend it enough to anyone and everyone who wants the absolute best for their pets.
