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!
Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
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!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
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.
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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 18 CHF 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!
Ana's been cat-sitting for our pet for four years now. She's everything you'd want in a pet-sitter: responsible, professional, communicative, and most of all very caring and sweet with our cat. She's also pointed out when there seem to be any issues with our cat, which is really helpful and says a lot about her thoroughness and care as a sitter. I actively have been recommending her to everyone I know in Lausanne with a cat who needs someone reliable to take care of them while they're on vacation. Thank you Ana! So glad we found you.
Ana has been taking care of my 2 cats every time I travel for the past 5 years. She is trustworthy, reliable and communicative, sending pictures and updates on the cats frequently. She also pays attention and reports suspicious/abnormal behaviors (signs of diarrhea, pee outside the litter box, eating less than usual, etc) — and has at times done some extra visits to check on their well-being after such incidents. Leaving your apartment’s key and the well-being of your pets to a stranger is a delicate matter, and I’m happy that Ana has become a friend over the years and seen my family evolve and grow.
Ana is the best pet sitter I ever had! Loving and caring, she’s trustworthy and flexible. My dog loves her because she treats it as if would be her own pet. I highly recommend her services. Thank you, Ana, for being so nice and flexible.
We travel a lot and without any worries as my 2 cats are getting taken care if by Phoebe and Friends in the most perfect way since 5 years…. A reliable, professional and great service and I recommend it to everybody! Ana is taking care of my two babies and they love her!
Ana is a lovely and kind pet sitter. She truly loves the dogs and even goes out of her way to pamper them on special occasions. She is a trained dog groomer as well and does a great job in making the little furballs be neat, clean and look awesome!
Ana has cared for my 2 little yorkies keeping them overnight and also grooming them. I trust her implicitly with my dogs as it is rare to meet someone so caring and reliable. If she takes care of your pets, they will indeed be in very good hands and you can rest assured that they will be safe and happy.
Ana is a godsend! She is so good with our Lucy and Lucy loves her as well. Its so rare to find a dogsitter who is dedicated and loves her client like Ana. Even for overnight boarding Ana welcomes Lucy as if she was part of the family! We couldnt recommend Ana enough!
Ana was unreliable, I contacted her end of the morning, she agreed on keeping my dog for 3 hours for the following afternoon and at the end of the day she cancelled. While she agreed after a few basic questions (the dog breed, age, dog behaviour) she was dishonest afterwards saying that if she cancelled it is because she doesn’t accept dog she doesn’t know. Also her price was very high 20chf/ h.
I had the chance to meet Ana, she is a reliable pet sitter. She took care of my adorable little Malou (cat) during the holidays, went there three times a week, fed her, cleaned the litter box, gave her fresh water and a little affection. I highly recommend his services.
Hello everybody! Ana really has a love for animals and I'm glad she works with pets because that's what she loves, working with these angels from heaven! I recommend it to you!
Cindy is the absolute best. She cares so much about the animals she takes care of. She is super responsive, keeps us up to date on our cats while we are away with pictures and videos, and she makes scheduling easy and organized. One time (not when she was responsible for our cats) one of our cats went missing for a few days and she went above and beyond to connect us or connect for us with local veterinarians, online groups, posting boards where we could put word out about our missing cat. She also checked in with us every day until he returned safely home just because she cares.
I have been leaving my puppy at Bien Dans Ses Papattes for a few months and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful place for him. Cindy is amazing and I know my furry friend is being looked after with love and care. Great service, I highly recommend!! Thank you so much !
We left our golden retriever late last year for a long weekend. Our beloved Evie returned with a bite in her mouth and in her ear which was not openly discussed when we picked her up. At the price which is quite high, we expected better care and communication.
My two girls Zara and Zoe, one a senior and the other still a pup both were very happy during their visit. They loved being outside in a big garden with lots of space to run and play. Well looked after in a home, family environment.
Being the human of a little dog from Romania who is anxious and has many sensitivities, I was worried about finding a boarding facility where her needs and fears would be respected, and where daily work would not be ruined. Cindy was recommended to me and she is a gem! Sauge has been going there for short stays as well as vacations for over two years, and I couldn't live without it. This is summer camp for her! She cries when I tell her "we're going to Cindy's", and often doesn't even want to leave. Cindy takes care of him as if he were her own, gives him his medication, sends me videos regularly, and even teaches him to manage some of his fears. When you have an anxious dog, it's a lot of daily management. Being able to leave Sage and know that whatever happens, she is in good hands, and that I can enjoy 100% of my moments without her, is a luxury. Whether you have a sensitive little one or not, I can only recommend Cindy (and her mother), who admirably manages all these little people in a caring and enlightened education. Thank you Cindy ❤️
Well in one's paws is the ideal place for a dog's well-being. Cindy is a person completely devoted to her dogs whom she adores and they reciprocate! My two dogs from Romania were welcomed with open arms and are always happy to spend their holidays there. Cindy is a reliable person and gives very good advice. We can count on her. In case of problems she always gives very good advice and finds solutions. She is very professional and she gives a lot of love to all the dogs. The place is magnificent. Everything is brought together in this place to make dogs feel good. Cindy how lucky my dogs and I are to know you!!
I thank Cindy for welcoming my young Pyrenees shepherd Malu so that he can get used to staying a few hours without me and enjoying the heavenly environment of the little house and its large garden. Malu immediately loved playing with all his friends. Cindy received us with open arms, with a lot of tenderness, availability and patience for my ball of fur. His passion and professionalism for dogs is incredible. Thank you with all my heart.
A simply incredible family pension, like home even better. Total trust in Cindy who listens to each dog and understands them better than anyone. I had the chance to meet her for our little one and I can never thank her enough for everything she has already given our dog. A big thank you for this love you have for dogs
Cindy is a professional in her profession, she welcomes and takes care of dogs wonderfully. Always very attentive and despite the difference in size, age and race, all these little people find their place and evolve in a large park as they please under the always vigilant gaze of Cindy. I have a little bichon who gets along with both young and old. I always admire Cindy for the joy she has in taking care of all these little ones and I thank her for so much dedication. Chantal Caruso
I cannot recommend Cindy's services highly enough. My Toddy looks forward to every visit. As soon as we approach the house, he starts to quiver with happiness, and that says a lot about the affection he receives! Cindy's kindness and flexibility really creates a great environment for our little Todd, who is very exhausted at the end of each day (and yes, it's tiring to have fun with friends!). Thank you so much Cindy!
Every time I leave, I entrust my cat to Sarah because I know that she takes good care of him and that he is in good hands. Sarah is an excellent professional, always attentive, dedicated, very friendly. Many thanks Sarah.
In a word: EXCELLENT! You can trust him with your eyes closed. My furballs are taken care of and it reassures me every time I entrust them to him 🥰 …
I am delighted with his very professional work! My cats are confident, so I can go away on weekends knowing that they will be pampered. The grooming was perfect too, thank you!
We entrust our cat Lola to him whenever we are away. We feel that she is a professional, lover of animals. We trust him with our eyes closed. THANKS !
Very good work, very professional and 100% reliable. To recommend without hesitation for the greater good of our furry ones.
Trustworthy person, available and attentive. I leave without worries, far from my animals with confidence. Many thanks!
At the top! Trustworthy, pleasant, dynamic person, always smiling, attentive and loving towards animals. My dog loves it :-)
I can only recommend Happy Pet's. Professional, conscientious, dedicated, everything our animals need when we are away. I am delighted and thank her
A marvel for my animals. Very professional and very friendly. Quality service.
Professional and attentive, I recommend without hesitation!!
Melis and her team have set up a fantastic new day care focused around the dogs and their needs. The facilities are great and the amount of thought and care of the team is evident. The communication , and responsiveness has been very helpful as well. Is really easy to book and pay online. Thanks Woofy for creating a space like this for dogs in Lausanne where i feel my little weirdo will be well taken care of.
I brought my Shiba Umi to Woofy and it went super well! Umi was not stressed at all and she quickly took these marks. The staff is super welcoming, professional and attentive to the needs of the dog and the owner. In addition, it is a pension different from the others, there are several rooms whether for rest, games, socialization etc. And a little more the long walks with friends and especially the news of your dog at all times. Umi was delighted with this experience and so was I! Thanks to Melis and all her team for taking such good care of my dog ! I would come back with Umi for sure! 🙏🏼
I absolutely cannot praise Woofy enough! Melis and the entire team consistently go above and beyond to ensure that my dog Cumin has the time of his life during each visit. Their exceptional expertise, care, and genuine love for all the dogs they care for truly shines through. The facility is thoughtfully designed with a variety of interactive rooms that cater to different needs. If you're a pet parent in search of the perfect daycare, Woofy is your place!! 🐶
Woofy in Lausanne has been a fantastic daycare for our dog, who absolutely loves it there. The facility's structure ensures a safe and fun environment, and we plan to bring him again soon.
Woofy is the best place in Lausanne you can drop your dog for half or full day of stay they are not going to regret! Amazing staff, location perfectly furbished and equipped with all the possible toys and stimuli for our beloved dogs (and even more). What you can find here are competencies, trainings, passion and love for dogs. Really well done and looking forward to let Trudy stay with you again! :)
Extremely professional service, we couldn't be more satisfied!
I booked a discovery morning for my dog and I was extremely satisfied of the professionalism and care ! Thanks 🙏 Nala loved it and we will be back soon 🙌 …
We brought our little staffie, Nala, for the introductory morning and were made to feel very welcome. The session began with a 30-minute discussion about our dog's character. During the morning, we were able to follow the activities on Instagram: walk, wading in a pool and a lesson in learning how to lie down properly. When we went to pick her up, we received a little update on her character and her morning. Nala was of course exhausted after so much activity. Very satisfied and we will use their services in the future! We recommend!
Woofy loves our furry companions and this is felt as soon as you set foot in this hotel for dogs. Everything is done to ensure that our dog's stay goes well: a first interview to discuss and introduce Woofy's places. Then we learn that our dog will have walks, exercises and sensory activity! Excellent, you are the solution for people who love their animals. Thank you for making your stay at Spyke a great one. We had a peaceful stay and we were happy for our dog. Thanks Woofy 🐶
AWESOME! Since opening, we have entrusted our little Maki to Melis and the whole team. They are super attentive to his needs and his character, give him a lot of affection and offer lots of stimulating activities. He is always happy to go back. We completely trust the entire team and recommend Woofy with our eyes closed!
Very disappointing experience. Like many dog owners, we were first and foremost looking for a trustworthy person to take care of our animal in our absence. Unfortunately, it was trust that was lacking the most: shortened or sometimes non-existent walks (without informing us), increasingly frequent lies, etc. This person abused our trust and it deteriorated over time. The height of malice: faced with her failings, she stopped overnight providing the service that had been contracted and refused to reimburse the amounts for which payment was required in advance. The complete opposite of a serious and professional service. Avoid at all costs!
We used the services of Thepetsparadise, more precisely Alessandra, for walking our dog. Unfortunately, we had to end this collaboration prematurely due to several shortcomings: Lack of reliability: Alessandra did not provide the agreed walks on several occasions, without warning us in advance. Reimbursement problems: Following the termination of the contract, Alessandra refused to give us the walks already paid for for the month of July and to reimburse us for the amounts paid in advance. We are forced to initiate legal proceedings to recover the amounts owed.
I used Alessandra's ThePetParadise services and was extremely disappointed. My dog's walks were frequently shortened or even canceled without any notice. Despite the termination of the contract, Alessandra, who always asked me to be paid 1 month in advance, refused to reimburse me the amounts due for the services not provided. His behavior is both unprofessional and dishonest. I strongly advise against using his services.
Very good quality welcome and service. Very affectionate and very professional towards dogs. Always available to provide valuable advice. Real enthusiasts!
Very professional and attentive, established good contact with my dog. Thank you Allesandra for your kindness and all your advice, my dog has learned a lot, he has progressed well.
Best dog trainer in the region, attentive and so gentle with the animals. I recommend it to you with my eyes closed.
