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.

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!
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
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!
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!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
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 .
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!
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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 $ per visit, $17/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!
Beau has stayed at Bokhara many times and they are wonderful with him. He’s always well cared for and happy. He started going at 7 months and they were so sweet and good with him. I highly recommend and I won’t use anywhere else!
We had our dog recently banned from Bokhara for, what I feel, is the fault of their new groomer. We’ve had our dog groomed there by Ellen for six years and never had an issue. Ellen retired and the groomer they have now has been out of the business for a while or something, but whatever she did made my dog anxious and he attacked. NEVER had that issue with Ellen. So, they said he’s welcome to board there? Sorry, too many finer establishments in the area. Stay away. (I can’t post without a 1-star rating, but I wouldn’t even give them that.)
Our pup had an amazing stay at Bokhara! We loved that she was greeted the moment we walked in, they were waiting for her! Erika made us feel so warm and welcome. After checking Ellie for temperament, we were shown Ellie's "room" and were able to set her up and get her comfortable. We were able to see much of the facility, and all our questions were answered. Ellie got walks every day and we were even invited to take her to the lake when we picked her up. Ellie showed us right where to go. She was so comfortable there and looked really happy and content when we picked her up. I called once to check on her and all my questions were answered and I was told Ellie was eating well and visiting. I'm so pleased with Bokhara and look forward when we can visit again!
Excellent kennel. Just pulling in the driveway you will realize that your dog will have their own resort while up north. The pine trees along the drive way will have dog name crossings, and once you pull up you will find a friendly staff ready to give your dog attention that you will feel comfortable with. There are a list of options to pamper your dog including access to Elk Lake for a swim, or even check out your pet by boat while on Elk, or the other Chain of Lakes. Our dog is a medium to small dog and had made friends with the other dogs while there. Be sure to have your pets vet records ready. Will have our dog stay there again the next time we are in the area! Rates cheaper than hotel dog rates.
Thank you Erika so much for taking such good care of George and Charlie!! We really appreciate the excellent care and spa treatment you provided. Georgie has never been so clean and fresh! Even Charlie was happy to visit you!! We'll be back again for sure!! Thanks soooo much!!
Took my cats there for a week got them back covered in feces, and we're obviously traumatized, I would never take my pet to this place again
We've been boarding our Rhodesian Ridgeback here for about 4 years and have had nothing but good experiences. Staff are really friendly and I like the grooming options as well as the additional play time/walk options.
Fantastic cat boarding service. Boarded my kitty here for several weeks and it was a great experience. All staff including the owner are extremely kind people.
Our gsd puppy went for her first grooming with her sister. The staff was super accommodating in letting them stay togather. They came back looking and smelling great.
Nice drive. Nicest lady ever!!! My dog is just beautiful!! I Found my new groomer.
Wiggle Butts and Waggin Tails gave our 7 month old Cavapoo the best place to stay this past weekend. We highly recommend their place. It was our puppy's first time boarding and they prepared us and our puppy on all the things to expect. Very clean and organized facility. You will not be disappointed by their hospitality for you pet. We will definitely be back.
Brought my little Frenchie here. Discussed with owners on the phone the dogs age and sent them all the paper work from our vet which listed each and every vaccine he had. Was told there was no issue with bringing him in for 4 days. Went on vacation and got a text the next morning, after having driven 6 hrs away, that they weren't equipped to handle our dog because he wasn't old enough to board there. I had to pack my family up and head home to pick him up. Wasted $2500 in lodging for our vacation. WARNING.... NOT RECOMMENDED.
This was our first time boarding dogs ever. We have two cattle dogs, both young & FULL of energy. The staff at Wiggle Butts was so beyond fantastic with them. They sent us photos and kept us updated. They gave them their medications as directed. They also followed directions to keep our dogs together at all times because they are highly anxious otherwise. This is an affordable, clean, and trustworthy boarding facility. 10/10 will use again. Thank you guys!!
Kathy and Dave were amazing! We went on vacation up North and found Wiggle Butts and Wagging tails online as we wanted to have our 2 year old dog close to us. Chloe was well taken care of and happy when we picked her up. Kathy was quick at responding emails before and during her stay. Love that they have a large outdoor area that dogs can play and enjoy the outdoors. We will be retuning here next time we have a vacation up North!
Kathy and Dave are very personable! I trust them with my 1 year old Golden doodle. He loves going to doggy daycare at their facility! I would recommend them to anyone.
Dave and Kathy are SO kind and they’re great with animals. My little dog loves coming here to spend time with them and the other dogs. They’ve really made a special connection with her and with my family. This is the only place we board her because I know she’ll be well taken care of. They have great rates as well and are very flexible.
Kathy and Dave did a GREAT job helping my kennel-averse rescue acclimate to their place by having her do several short day care stints before she boarded there for several nights. They even texted an update while we were gone. My pup was happy, well cared for, and is still excited when we drive up. What's more, their location is convenient, clean, well organized and a great value. HIGHLY recommend!
Dave and Kathy greeted us and our dogs with open arms as soon as we arrived. Very clean, neat, and organized dog boarding! I could tell they were animal lovers as soon they walked us back. Dave set out some blankets for our pups to borrow while they stayed. We will DEF be using Wiggle Butts and Wagin Tails again next year. Very happy.
My dog, Bruce, loves coming here; and I love it because when I pick him up at the end of the day, he is TIRED. Dave and Kathy are the sweetest people. There is always the perfect amount of pups for him to play with. Great for socialization as well as exercise! Pick-ups and drop offs are easy and fast. They are by far the most flexible with pick up/drop off times for any place in the area, which makes it great for working dog owners who may need to work earlier/later than typical 9-5 work hours. I can't recommend Wiggle Butts and Waggin Tails enough! If you're looking for doggy day care or a place to board your dog, look no further.
I boarded my two mini Dachshunds over Thanksgiving. We all had a great experience! The kennel is new and well designed and the owner (who live on the property) are very patient and loving to their guests. I called several times and they texted me pictures, they reassured me many times my furbabies were fine. I will definitely use their services again. I highly recommend this lovely facility .
Megan is wonderful with my fur children and is incredible. She helped me out so much when I rescued Molly, who suffers with separation anxiety. My fur children love seeing her and it is such a good feeling knowing that they are being cared for and loved. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!!
Megan does a fantastic job with our pets. I completely trust her, she always communicates clearly, and she is very flexible when our dates sometimes change. I have no question that when we are gone, our pets will have the care they need.
My husband, son, and I vacationed in Traverse City recently for a wedding and had to bring our energetic boxer who obveously couldn't attend and we didn't feel comfortable leaving him at the hotel alone for hours. I found Pooch and Purrs website and decided to contact Megan in regards to having her watch Mac. Upon meeting Megan and her family, I knew that our dog would be in great hands and we could enjoy our family wedding! Megan sent me pictures throughout the evening, and my family and I could tell that Mac was relaxed, loved, and having a good time with their beautiful golden retriever . I would definately ask Megan again to watch Mac as well as recommend her to anyone! Thanks Megan for taking such good care of our fur baby!
Megan takes care of my cats when I am on vacation. She is very organized and reliable. She comes every day, does the food and litter, and cuddles with my kitties for awhile. She also brings in the mail and walks through the house to make sure nothing is wrong. I don't know what I would do without Megan. I hate leaving my babies, but I know they are safe with her.
Pooch and Purr is the best! Megan has been our go-to pet sitter for the past several years. The cats look forward to her visits! She spends quality time with them at each visit and does an amazing job of reporting to us through email or texts about how they are getting along during our absence. I highly recommend Pooch and Purr. Kathy Gray
Excellent!!!! Megan always takes great care of my pets when I am out of town for work. She makes sure my dogs are calm, comfortable and happy. I can tell how much she loves animals!
Megan treats my dog like her own. Her professionalism, experience and insights have been a comfort to our pooch and our family. I highly recommend her!
I love! love! love! Megan! She is timely, helpful beyond measure and very connected to animals. I wouldn't have made it through the first year with my puppy without her help.
Professional, dependable, kind, and amazing. A true animal lover and dog whisperer. I can always relax knowing Megan is taking care of my fur babies while I’m at work or on vacation.
The best for so many reasons. Very reliable. Been around for years. Easy to deal with tons of references. Prices are great. We are lucky to have these guys in the area.
