Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

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!!
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
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.
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
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.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
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!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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, $21/week 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 have a samoyed, and she needs a special care by a professional pet groomer, because of all this big hair. Accent on Pets was recommended to me so I went there and I was impressed! The place is awesome, there a so many facilities for dog playing, cat playing, grooming stuff.. Alaska (my sweet dog) was so happy there - and this is the most important!!!
I utilize Accent on Pets for boarding of my dog, Mabel. They are wonderful to her there! Plenty of big kennels and open areas for the zoomies outside 😁😁😁 I can't speak any higher praise! …
Karen is amazing! She has always been so accommodating and Harley loves her. She will forever be my go to.
Nice people and really care about you doggie :)
We absolutely love the Doggie Den! We had to board my dog, Atlas, for 9 days & always have the best experience. We had frequent updates with the cutest photos & videos! The staff are so caring & great, the owner is amazing & the environment is incredible. Atlas had a vacation of his own! Pools, trees, toys, & even meditation!! ❤️
I can not express how amazing this place is for your pups. It’s so nice to be at ease while on vacation knowing your pups are taken care of. They go above and beyond make sure your fur baby is taken care of but also have a great time. I love having such an amazing place to board our pups while we are gone when get updates daily and pics. My pups were boarded over Easter and they even got to see the Easter bunny! This place is just amazing.
My pups weekend visit to The Doggie Den was incredible! He's a pretty particular dog and they happily met every one of his needs. They also sent me frequent updates with awesome photos or videos attached (see below). I was more than satisfied with their services and will be back!
Took great care of our beloved Jaxon! Very happy with everything they did to make him comfortable and even sent us videos daily.
We live nearby the second location in Bridgeport, they are always outside playing with the dogs! Our dog loves watching them. This morning I mistakenly heard something from an employee I thought was towards us because our dog was screaming barking and we suppose it was alarming to the other dogs, its alarming to us, he came to us very abused and we are working with a local vet, medicine and lots of love to help heal him. I misunderstood and reported this young lady to the owner. I was in the wrong and when the owner called me she supported her employee while trying to make me understand that this employee absolutely loves animals and did not say what I had thought I heard. I apologized and also sent the young girl an apology but thought I should say it. I apologize. The damage we can do by a misunderstanding. Thankfully this owner knew her employee and knew I must be wrong. I do not mind admitting it and that I will be more careful in the future.
We needed our puppy boarded for a week. The Doggie Den was highly recommended, and we can confirm that the reviews are accurate. It is a wonderful facility, staffed by caring employees and a great owner. We loved getting daily videos showing how well our puppy was getting along. We would definitely use their services again.
Marlo has been going to doggie den for daycare weekly for daycare since he was a puppy (he’s now 4.5!). Every staff member is absolutely amazing and treat Marlo like their own. Fairmont is beyond LUCKY to have such an amazing business to serve us. Marlo and I are extremely grateful!
Love this daycare! The staff are very attentive and know my pup by name. My dog gets so excited when we pull up and he comes home worn out from a day of playing. We have also boarded with them and they went above any beyond to make sure that our dog was comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend The Doggie Den.
We originally used the Doggie Den as a daycare for our puppy while we worked with hopes that she would develop positive social skills. As our puppy grew up and our work schedules changed, we no longer needed the doggie den but there was no way we would stop using it. Our puppy has made dozens of friends and comes home absolutely exhausted every single day. We still use the daycare 3 days/week which is well worth the price (much cheaper compared to some other daycares/boarding facilities). The staff are super friendly, facilities are very clean inside and out, the owner is very accommodating without ever compromising safety, rules, and regulations. We also have an aggressive rescue dog who is perfectly comfortable boarding here regardless of his fear for humans and other animals. Staff constantly send updates, videos, and progress reports which are always greatly appreciated. 10/10 would recommend.
I took my grand doggie there for my son and daughter in law when they were on vacation. Because of Covid I could not go in but the place looks fabulous. I appreciated the fact that I was not allowed in, made me feel like my dog would be safer. The lady that came out to the car to get our doggie was fabulous. Very nice, asked a lot of questions, wore a mask, I was completely comfortable the whole time. My daughter in law received numerous pics and videos during the week. Pivie (yes, that's my grand doggie's name) had a ball. I would highly recommend this place for doggie day care or for vacations!
Great place!! My puppy loved it there! The woman who runs it is so nice and accommodating! She sent pictures of my puppy playing with the other dogs while I was away. Will absolutely be going back!
They were awesome for my pups. We have a 2 year old Labradoodle and a 12 week old basset hound. Pricing is amazing! Daily updates were sent as well as pictures of the dogs playing, taking walks, and being cute. One of the dogs needed meds given and they happily did it. When we picked them up they were excited to see us but ran back over loving on the owners! This is the first time we have left them with someone not family and it was the best experience. Definitely recommend!
