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!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
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!!
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
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.
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
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 €15 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!
Leaving pets while traveling is a challenge. Especially when our little buddies have special needs. Ever since I found Joana, I am at ease if ever I have to be away from my 2 cats. She is a consummate pet professional! Handling unique dietary plans for each, medication schedules, and of course looking after all their basic needs including cuddles and love. Joana’s care is detailed and sincere, showing genuine interest and affection for her furry clients. She provides daily progress notes and photos/videos, which come with a sense of true presence noting behavior/moods of the day as well as anything else important. Honestly, I am so grateful we found her. Think of her as your pet’s newest best friend and trusted ally to you in their well-being.
Joana is very skilled, she knows her way with pets, and is very reliable and professional. My dog loves her and I do to as it gives me peace of mind knowing that he's in good hands whenever he's with her. I am so happy that I found her, and Kai is even happier.
Since day one, Joana was super professional and our dogs absolutely adore her. When she’s with them I don’t worry because I know they’re in safe hands.
Joana was very attentive and dedicated to my kitten. It was the first time I was away and trusted Joana to take care of my baby. Exceptional treatment, with the attention to always leave me at ease, sending information, photographs and videos. I will definitely go back to "aunt" Joana.
Joana is a super professional and reliable person. She is a pet sitter that can be trusted 200%, she takes care of our dogs like no one else. Super dynamic, flexible and has no shortage of love for our Lola. We used this service because our dog is a Jack Russell and has a lot of energy, the owners leave work late and the walks with Joana helped to calm her down. Lola is super happy walking with Joana as you can see in the photos. I totally recommend it.
Service that I recommend 100%! Joana is super dedicated to the work she does with the children at home, of which there are many 🙀😁 They love her presence and the treats she gives them 🫂❤️ Being able to leave the house and leave our pets in good hands is wonderful! What's more, send photos that prove it, like the ones I leave you ☺️
Joana is an extremely professional pet sitter who inspired confidence from the first contact in me and my cat Raffles. It is certainly my reference when I have to be away, as I know that I am leaving Raffles in good hands, and that I am without any worries. Highly recommended!
From the first visit we met Joana, it was clear that we could be confident in hiring her services in this area. Joana makes a point of understanding in a personalized way how to deal and interact with each dog. This is very positive, because all animals have different behaviors and personalities. I highly recommend your services!
Joana is a trustworthy pet sitter who has always shown great dedication and attention to our cat's well-being. In addition to ensuring his basic care, he also dedicates a good part of his visit to playing and keeping him company. Another point to highlight is the fact that we keep owners updated with messages and photographs and/or videos of the animal, this way we feel more at ease when we see that our cat is fine. We recommend Joana's services to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter and who loves animals!
Trusted petsitter, had already been recommended to me by friends. Experienced and intuitive with the animal's needs (gave lots of treats to my cat which she loves). Provides daily feedback and also clarifies doubts for owners. I recommend!
Home from Home dog boarding is a fantastic service. Our dogs love Karla and are always very happy to stay there. I’ve left them just for the day, but also just over 2 weeks. Last time, one of them had a deep cut that needed cleaning and she needed antibiotics. I trusted Karla 100% to look after her and, of course, she did! Karla is always responsive to messages too. My dogs are my babies and usually I’m a worrier, but not when I leave them with Karla!
Absolute amazing and welcoming place where I confidently know that while I’m on holiday, my dogs are having (most likely) a better time than I am! Would highly recommended.
We never have to worry about our dogs when they stay here with Karla and Alan. They love going for their mini breaks at their home from home hotel.Wish it was nearer us though, as Milly hates the journey.
Wonderfully warm and welcoming. My dogs were really relaxed with being left with Karla, which says alot! I will certainly take them back. Thankyou!
Home away from for our dog. He loves to go there.
Caring safe and secure.
Superb.....dogs love it! Enough said.
Karla always does a good job
The very best service ever!
Fantastic dog minding service
