"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.
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
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!
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!
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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, $15/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!
Katya worked with me very, very last minute & was professional from the start. She loved on our pup multiple times throughout the day with pictures sent to me every visit. Very excited to have someone local & running her own small business! Thank you again, Katya!
I have Katya cat sit my 6 cats when we are away. She is exceptional with her care. She loves my cats & plays with them when she is here. I am very particular about my fur babies, they are my family so having someone I can trust with them is monumental. I love her like a Granddaughter. The first time I met her I knew she would be absolutely great with my babies. She is the best there is!
10/10 recommend Katya service! I needed someone on such short time notice & she made sure Dior was taken care of! Very accommodating & affordable! She even sends you pictures/updates when she goes to see your furry friend! Dior can’t wait to see you again!
Katya is a great pet sitter! She makes sure to send photos each day. She helps this mama feel more at ease when we’re on vacation. I know our baby is safe. I’d recommend her services to anyone who needs a sitter! 😊 …
My experience with Katya has always been super positive. Whether i’m giving plenty of notice or in a pinch, she is always willing to help. I have two guinea pigs, so finding care for them is harder than I had originally anticipated. After meeting for a consolation (which was so kind of her to offer), I have had a phenomenal experience with her care. My guinea pigs always return happy and healthy (sometimes sad that they’re leaving her). I just appreciate how attentive Katya is to their needs!! Highly recommend!!
Katya and her team are fantastic! She’s accommodated me on EXTREMELY short notice more than once, a total godsend. Her rates are extremely reasonable for the amount of care she does. I love getting the pictures of my sweet girl when she’s on a walk or snuggling on the couch. I’ve used her for drop-ins, dog walking and overnight boarding. All have been fantastic experiences.
Fantastic care for our dog! Great communication and lots of love and play time. Katya has created a strong network of great pet sitters. We were thrilled and will definitely use her services again!
I hired this company and I was told the fee was $150 total but the babysitter who came and showed up to collect the remaining money said oh no ma’am it’s only $120 and I had 150 in the envelope, I rearranged my vacation to go away on August 27 to the 30th so that I could use the same babysitter Until I found out that the owner would not let up on collecting that extra $30 she was bent on communicating with me every day to get a $30 fee when I gave them 120 because of the babysitter saying oh no, you don’t need to give 150 I gave $120 She says I’ll just use the extra 30 for my Tip. I had arrangements to meet the babysitter to pay her on Saturday and this owner Katika was relentless on trying to collect that additional $30 from me. I already had it set up between the babysitter and I we were doing just fine until Katika got involved so if you wanna Cooperative Company who has their act together who communicates with their employees so they don’t try to charge their client more money than I would say go elsewhere because the owner of this company is not someone you wanna deal with. They are more interested in getting your money than they are and taking care of your dog
Katya took wonderful care of our black lab while we were gone for a long weekend at the beach! She sent updates with photos or videos with every visit which was very reassuring to know he was doing well. Would definitely recommend Katya to care for your pets and will have her come back again!
Katya took excellent care of our puppy while we were away. highly recommended.
Laura came to petsit our 4 dogs while we were away for a week in August 2024. We were SOOO pleased with her services! She sent us several pictures and updates every day which really put our minds at ease while we were away. 5 stars for MFPS hands down!!! We will definitely be using them again in the future!
We’ve now used Mortizen Family Pet Sitting twice and have had amazing experiences both times. After having a really terrible experience with a different pet sitter, we were extremely hesitant to trust someone with our three pups again. However, every single person that we’ve worked with or spoken to at MFPS has been exceptional to work with. They have clear communication and we really appreciated the follow up ensuring we were pleased with the service. We had a different sitter both times, but they both communicated thoroughly, sent pictures, and you could tell they loved up on our pups. We are thankful that we found them and now don’t have to stress that our boys won’t get amazing care while we are away. We will definitely continue to use them and highly recommend using their services!
Simply said, these folks are exceptional. Having used Moritzen Family Pet Sitting regularly over the last two years I can confidently say that I cannot imagine better service. They are caring, dependable, observant, respectful, proactive, great communicators, and pricing is reasonable. They have gone above and beyond what I could expect and have been graciously flexible when I have needed scheduling changes. I have never had to worry about a thing when Moritzen Family Pet Sitting service is in charge - they are the best ever.
10/10, 5 stars, fantastic!! My pups, Ava and Dixie love their daily visits from Laura at Moritzen Family Pet Sitting! Laura is super efficient and sends thorough text updates and the cutest pictures after each visit. She is even willing to take the extra care steps that our puppy needs. You can tell she cares and that’s so important to us. I highly recommend this awesome pet sitting company!!
Moritzen Family Pet sitting took care of my 5 month old puppy like she was a member of their family. I was initially nervous because my pup was so young, but Laura abated all my fears with her daily pictures and in depth notes daily after her visit. I knew Rori was in great hands and was an to enjoy my time away without worrying. They are flexible to last minute changes, very reasonable and true pet lovers.
I have trusted McKenzie to Heather and her team for five years. This group of dedicated folks have supported me for long term pet sitting and short notice occasions . They are reliable, responsive, clean and friendly. We all know our pets are members of the family. I trust Moritzen’s 1000%.
Wonderful experience with MFPS. My girls were well taken care of (along with flower and strawberry watering, mail and newspapers brought in). Eye drops given to one of my girls. Loved the twice a day updates. Communication prompt. When we got home and opened the door the girls facial expressions told us they were disappointed we were home. They were looking for their new best friend Tyler. I will definitely utilize their services again. Highly recommend. 💜
We have had Moritzen Family Pet Sitting watch our dog since February and they are fantastic! They are huge on communication, reliable, friendly, and very trustworthy pet sitters! They do overnight stays and much more. We are so appreciative of everything they do for us. Highly recommend!
Laura and Heather have been wonderful with my boy. Timing is perfect every day and he’s so happy (proof in all the pics I get of him smiling). I would highly recommend to anyone who a fur baby
I have been using Moritzen Family Pet Sitting now for more than 6 months, many times every week to care for my sweet cats. They have been everything I could ask for and more. Consistent dependable top notch service, personal attention, great communication and visit updates, with constant caring and concern in everything they do. Words can barely express how pleased I am to have found their service, simply said, they are the best.
First experience with boarding our 6yr old dog. The staff was very compassionate and sent me pictures and updates. I feel like she was under great care and they paid attention to her and her needs. She seemed very happy and relaxed when we picked her up. I would highly recommend Oscars and will be using them again in future!
We take our yellow lab here for boarding. She has separation anxiety and I’m confident she is well loved and cared for while we are away. We had one poor experience but they followed up with me on it. It’s a beautiful location and the dogs all seem happy while there. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for.
My husband and I take our 4 month old bully XL here to Oscers for the training classes and we thought we would give there nail salon a try and I was very impressed on how the staff took care of our puppy the staff are so caring sweet and I would definitely recommend this place
Wonderful private training with Michelle! Have been taking my German shepherd for a couple sessions now and have had nothing but great experiences here. Love their method of training and how much they care about treating animals the right way and teaching them correctly! Already seeing a huge improvement in Bailey and I am excited to keep bringing her here!
They are caring and knowledgeable They offer alot of services that make it easy for my pets. I love the 1:1 attention my dogs get when I bored them overnight The grooming is top notch and the groomer is experienced and very friendly..
We had an excellent experience at Oscar's. It was our first experience here. Our groomer had hand surgery. Our friends bring their "fur ball" here and recommended Oscars.They were very friendly and groomed Molly just like she is normally groomed. Would highly recommend them.
Boarded the dog there for a week and he came out happy and tired from playing happily with the other dogs. Last time I boarded at the country club in manheim he came out to us scared and ge was sick. I'll never go there again. This time he was happy and seemed to enjoy his vacation here at oscars. Wish I would have taken him here sooner. Staff is friendly and efficient getting us in and out quickly without forgetting about fussing the dog- the most important part!
I tried to bring my dogs here to be groomed on a Saturday. My appointment was supposed to be at 11 am. They called me at 8 the day of to tell me they had cancellations and of I could bring the dogs in that would be great, this would not have been a problem but during the course of the conversation they told me I would need to drop the dogs off at 11 or before and would not be able to pick them up until 4-6. They said this is because "on Saturdays they only can check people out from 4-6pm." I asked them how long grooming takes and they said 2-3 hours. So then I asked what do my dogs do the rest of the time they are stuck there for no reason and they said they put them in crates. So if you're a first time customer here and have a morning appointment on a Saturday they will take your dog, from them and then force them to be in a crate for more hours than they are being groomed. I waited3 weeks for this appointment and had to cancel because my dogs get anxiety being locked in a crate. Never heard of another groomer wanting to hold your dogs because they can only check you out from 4-6. Definitely would not recommend trying to do business with this place.
We took our dog here for puppy classes and it was great. Michelle was a wonderful class instructor and would recommend her to anyone. They do group and private classes. Not unreasonable pricing either
This has been the best experience for dog boarding. The staff all care about the pets and the owners. Our puppo Lucy is excited to go there and spend time with the staff and other doggos. My heart feels full knowing she's in great hands with people who care about her.
I was so nervous leaving my baby girl at a daycare facility. I didn’t know what to expect, but Millie went for her first week. (Mom & Thursday) and houndstown has been AMAZING. The staff are all so friendly and we’re so kind to my baby. The place is nice and clean and they clearly love the animals they care for. And Millie has come home both days ready to Sleep. I am so excited to continue to bring her and get to know more of the staff and the doggos! Thank you houndstown!
Hounds Town Reading is Remy's favorite place to be! He absolutely loves it there, and in fact, is very disappointed if he doesn't get to go to daycare! He comes home a very happy, fulfilled, tired puppy. We also took our tripod dobbie, Nemo (who has since crossed the rainbow bridge), there and they were so gracious in accommodating him and his special needs. Mitch and all the staff are fabulous and you can bet they will love your dog as much as you do. I have 100% confidence in leaving our beloved furbabies with Hounds Town!! So grateful!
A fantastic experience! Very clean facilities and super nice staff! It was both dog’s first time in daycare and they did great! It’s no joke about the “Houndstown Hangover” because they were exhausted from hours of play!! The staff treated our dogs like their own and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. I know our dogs can’t wait to go back! Plus they got great report cards!
This was the first time our pittie was here, and she was very happy and exhausted when we picked her up from playing with her new found friends and family. We want to Thank everyone one for your kindness and care. We will be seeing you soon.
The first time we went into HT my dog put on his brakes before going in. After his first doggy daycare experience he was pulling us into the building with excitement to play with his new friends. What a relief to know I don't need to worry about him.
This was our first experience with boarding and it was so wonderful. I could relax on my vacation knowing she was safe and happy!
Everyone I met has thr dog's best interest at heart. Having a dog evaluated before they agree for care is wonderful, and made me feel at ease taking my dog. The free daycare day is a great add on before boarding. The facility is clean, and smells great. The staff has been wonderful.
Hounds Town Reading has been such a blessing for our family! This was our first week long vacation without our boy, Alfie, and I felt such relief to leave him with amazing staff, comfortable accommodations, and all his doggie buds! The staff interacts with the dogs and takes many pictures and videos which put my mind at ease whenever I was thinking about him. I can tell how happy and well cared for he is every time I pick him up from here! Worth every penny to know our boy is not only safe but getting lots of exercise playing with other dogs. Daycare/ boarding here is the best way to get his puppy energy out, we love Hounds Town!
I’m extremely pleased with Hounds Town. They were patient with my dog and he is now going to visit for doggie daycare at least once a week. It’s an excellent opportunity for him to become more socialized to other dogs and people.
Had a very positive experience our first time visiting Hounds Town. I felt very comfortable leaving my “rescue” dog Bruno there. Loved getting a report card on his visit. I’m sure he’ll be very happy to come back this week and I’ll be happy too.
We love Kat! Our dog Tina is always so happy to go there, play with her friends, and see Kat. She’s friendly, easy to connect with in last minute drop offs, and always sends pics of our precious Tina. Highly recommend, Kay’s great!!
My dog Buckley is 12 years old and has never stayed with anyone except my brother. I was concerned he would be unhappy and worried staying anywhere else. He was very content and happy with Kat at Barks & Parks and seemed to bond with them right away. She sent pictures every day and updated me as to what she was doing with him. I felt very good knowing he was being taken care of and enjoying his stay. I would recommend Kat to give your fur baby a home atmosphere while you are away.
Kat was amazing with Noah during his 3-day boarding. I was immediately comforted when talking to her the first time, hearing about her experience and ambition in transitioning to animal care full-time. Her place was clean, spacious, with a quaint outdoor patio. Noah has separation anxiety so I was very nervous and picky about where he would stay. He was wagging his tail and happy when we picked him up. A 5-star experience! Thanks Kat!
This was our first time boarding our furbaby, Nala, so we were naturally a bit nervous. From the first moment we met Kat, she put us at ease and left us with the impression that she would love on our dog..and we were right! Every day, she followed our instructions and suggestions to a “T”; taking our dog on two walks a day, spoiling her rotten. I think Nala still misses her! 😂 if we are in need of boarding again, Kat will be our first choice and would highly recommend Barks&Parks Pet Services!
Kat took care of my dog as part of her doggie daycare service. She kindly both picked him up and brought him back to my home. While under her care they took several walks, and she shared pictures via a dog sitting app, which was awesome. When my pup returned, he was was happy and clearly had a great time. I definitely recommend Barks & Parks Pet Services based on my experience.
Kat was awesome! Our dog Harper was well taken care of. Your pet will enjoy field trips and the best care! We even got updates with photos!! You will not be disappointed!! I highly recommend Kat!
Our dogs love Kat and her boyfriend. One of our dogs gets excited anytime she gets in the car now, thinking she’s headed to daycare. Kat has been great staying in touch and keeping us updated throughout the day. We feel very fortunate that we found her. I highly recommend her for whatever dog care services you may need, your pup will be in good hands.
I have dealt with Kat for a few months now. She is so loving with my dogs and they love her. She’s very professional and I love the way she sends pictures after taking my dogs for a walk. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for any of her services. She also boarded my dogs for 2 days which also was great.
5 STARS!!! VERY Happy with this service! My dog Deanna is 10.5 yrs old and recently started having seizures (in March of 2022). We went on vacation in May and booked her with a local kennel (NOT this one). I couldn't confirm that they were or were not giving her her seizure meds, as when we returned & picked her up she had a seizure that night and several more a day afterward. Needless to say when it came time to go to Lancaster PA for a vacation in July which is 2.5 hrs from home, I was VERY worried on where I would leave her and what I would do if something should happen. THEN I found Barks & Parks Pet Services!! We drove out, dropped her off with Kat, and then went to our hotel which was 10 minutes away! Talk about convenience! Deanna had a WONDERFUL TIME there!!! She got along with the other dogs (which is not the norm!). When I first dropper her off the 1st day she seemed apprehensive which I expected. I did NOT expect to hear how well she was getting along with her new friends and how after a few days was fitting right in to her old routine! I wish I could leave her there ANY time we go away! This is a WONDERFUL alternative to a regular kennel. It is a regular house, where the dogs are in a more home-like environment as opposed to in a kennel. I highly recommend barks & parks!!
Kat’s service through Barks & Parks was exceptional!! Our little dog was walked and cared for so well, we were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home. We received twice daily updates on how she was doing along with the cutest pictures. We were incredibly pleased with Barks and Parks and would definitely use this home-like dog boarding service again!!!.
