Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
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!!
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
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!
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.
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!
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
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, $10/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!
Miss Tracy is the best! We have an anxious dog and she is constantly trying to work with him and his anxiety/separation issues. Highly recommend Happy Hounds.
The best! We've always had great experiences. Tracy does an amazing job, and we are very thankful we found her!
Tracy loves every pet brought to her for boarding. Each is given his/her own suite and has a large fenced area to play in with others of their own temperament and size. These pets are treated so special! The cost is very reasonable as well.
Never a worry about leaving my little dog here. Tracy does a great job. She sends texts/pictures and the dogs always look like they are having fun. Nice, clean, safe place.
Tracy, the owner of Happy Hounds Farm is a natural with animals.My Boston Terrier, Opal Marie, loved her and her week vacation at this kennel. Several years ago I had a bad experience with a kennel and since then, I am very “picky” about entrusting my pup with anyone, but I definitely plan to use Happy Hounds near Morganton, NC , again. Thanks Tracy!!
Can't say enough about Tracy and Happy Hounds. This is the best place ever. I have had experience with other kennels and nothing comes close to the care, attention, exercise and love that my dogs get here.
This is a awesome place for the dogs. The best place we have ever used.
Absolutely best dog boarding service in all the surrounding counties!!!!!
The best place to take a dog for boarding or a play day.
Our pup gives this place four paws up! With a wagging tail!
Best groomers around!! They've always taken really good care of our crazy aussie. Today we had a new groomer since we haven't been to see them in a good while and she did an amazing job cleaning him up and getting his fur back to a healthy condition. We take an entire day off work and drive more than an hour away from home to come down to Morganton, they are that good and kind! Thank you, Sydney and Paws & Claws!
One of the best grooming experiences for my doggo. The groomer did a 5 star plus job. Highly recommend.
I just moved to town and this is the first time my dogs have been kenneled here. Everyone communicated with me prior, I could call anytime and check on them, they did great on the grooming And my dogs looked peaceful and happy when I picked them up. I love the atmosphere. I will definitely kennel them again here as Paws And Claws!!
Absolutely wonderful. I'm so glad I found these folks. They were prompt when getting back to me on my initial call and set an appt for my standard poodle. This was her first grooming and Kayla was amazing. My pup was anxious and is very high energy and Kayla took her time to help my girl have a good experience there. I was also super busy at work and they actually made arrangements to have her brought home. I paid for this service but it was a lifesaver because it was a hard day for me to leave work. I couldn't be happier with everything! Amazing customer service and my poodle looks gorgeous. They did exactly what I wanted and exceeded expectations! Thank you Paws and Claws and Kayla!!
I had absolutely no concerns or worries while I was gone. Heather and her special-needs boarding facility are the best! Heather treats my dog as well as she would treat one of her own. The small number of borders at a time and the individualized attention is exactly what my dog needed!
I am going to give an honest review about my experience there. First, the positive, my puppy seems to enjoy daycare there. It’s a clean facility, and Lisa is nice. Now, for the not-so-positive, I took my puppy for his first groom today. The young lady who groomed him, (I won’t say her name), cut his paw pad. I don’t mean his nails, his actual paw pad. There’s a piece hanging, so of course my puppy wants to chew it, so he’s having to wear a cone. He’s also limping on it. The groomer said my puppy heard my voice and started jumping around which is when she cut his paw pad. I have questions about this, but am not sharing those at this time. Lisa, (Manager) was nice about it, and did say if he needed to go to the vet to just let her know. I wasn’t offered any refund for what happened. I know accidents will happen, but I have a sad puppy right now with a sore paw. I hope this experience doesn’t make him angry or fear future groomings. I want him to enjoy groomings not fear them. I will add a photo to show what happened.
Callie is always well taken care of at The Farm. Even though she barks a lot, I feel sure she is happy while in the care of Heather. Thank you ever so much.
Mariah was wonderful. Our dog Gilbert is an old small pug, not used to going to the groomers. He loved it! And he looked great. Mariah was kind and gentle with him and we are very, very happy with her. We will be bringing him back again!
Paws and Claws staff are just an extension of family for Remy and me. Cindy smiles as she checks us in and out. John is fairly new, but he has quickly become one of Remy's very favorite people! Zoey and Kenzie love on her all the time, and Lisa is the eagle eye who can tell me when Remy's not feeling well because her behavior is a little "off". Diane is great to work with on scheduling, and Liz is just an all around breath of fresh air. And Heather -- you are the glue that holds it all together, and we couldn't love you more if we tried!
We recently went on vacation for a week and enlisted Caleb Lunsford as our cat sitter for our two cats while we were away. We were very happy with our experience with Caleb. He updated us with every visit and sent pics as well. Kept our furries fed and clean water as well as taking time to getting to know them giving them TLC and playful moments and reassuring them. Would recommend Caleb Lunsford and have him to check on our furries again.
We have had 3 golden retrievers trained by Mike and couldn’t be more pleased! He is incredibly knowledgeable and our dogs love him! We have also boarded them at the kennel and they are always well cared for! His training is worth every penny and We will continue to use him as long as he is training!! Mike, thanks again for your hard work!
We have been using Mike Mull for over 30 years. He has trained and boarded our fur babies all these years. We know they are safe and in the best hands when we’re away. Best trainer there is around. Mike is family. We think the world of Mike and Mullhaus Kennels. Can’t say enough great things about our experiences. God bless!!
Mike did an excellent job with Jax. Our chocolate lab. He never gave up getting Jax trained. And as we continue the routine Mike showed us Jax is becoming a very well mattered dog. Thank you Mike
We decided to book with Milhaud Kennels because Mike, the owner, gave us wonderful costumer service and his prices are hard to beat. He took great care of our German Shepherd mix.
Mike is always great with our Aussie, he trained her as well and did an awesome job getting her under control.
Mike knows what he is doing. Our dog Miles is a like a new dog and the stress in our house has reduced considerably. Thank you Mike!!!!
This was the first time I used them to board my dog. The lady very nice person and it was a very good reasonable priced
You just can't find a better place to board your dog. I can't express how much trust we have with Mike, he is the best, period.
Great people. Very reasonable rates. Worked with us on a very short notice. Would have given 10 Stars if possible. Thank you
Exceptional...it don't get any better than this. Lindsey is great.
Woofpack is our go-to dog training service. Melissa has been very helpful in assisting us to help our energetic chocolate lab to become a sweet, well behaved dog. Our dog is going through the process of becoming a certified therapy dog. When we adopted a new dog, Melissa was very helpful with some new training challenges before we were able to get our puppy into training. We were also very pleased with boarding services. Our dogs were treated like royalty and had a fabulous time.
Melissa and her team are amazing in all that they do, I can’t recommend them highly enough! I’ve done several training classes with her, enrolled my pup in daycare, and been able to board him several times with peace of mind that he’s being treated as well as if he were home with me. He loves daycare days and always comes home tired and happy. Great customer service, caring and attentive staff, and a clean and safe facility. 10/10, this business is a true gem.
Wolfpack and Melissa have been extremely helpful with my fearful dog. He had his puppy training, day care, overnight care and most recently one on one help to deal with issues. I highly recommend them. You will not find a more caring knowledgeable place.
My dog, Missy, and cat, Sunny, both stayed at Woof Pack for a week while we were on vacation. Usually we take Missy with us and someone cares for Sunny while we're away, but we were unable to do that this time. We decided on Woof Pack after getting glowing references from several people. This place is like a luxury hotel for your pets! Individual rooms for your dog and individual multi level "condos" for your cat. There's tv for them as well as music. They have generous outdoor space as well. Missy is very scared of thunder and a storm occurred during her stay. Melissa (the owner) stayed up with her til 2am to calm and reassure her! I'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen elsewhere. This will be our go to from now on when we can't take our pets with us. I like knowing someone else will put that much effort into their well being.
Melissa Helms of Woof Pack Pet Services is like the dog whisperer of Boone, NC. Her place is the nicest dog boarding facility I've ever seen, and Melissa's passion for her dogs and her work shines through the moment you meet her. I highly recommend Woof Pack for dog boarding, and I recommend their dog training classes as well.
I love my dog and he goes pretty much everywhere with me, including work (he’s the greeter). Sometimes though, my wife and I take a trip and have to leave him behind for one reason or another. Woof Pack is the only boarding facility we’d leave him with and I have 100% confidence in their service and professionalism. This place has high demand (because they are so good) so planning and booking well ahead of time is advised.
Having moved to Boone 6 years ago, I was relived to find Woofpack and now consider it part of our family. My two dogs are excited to arrive and come home relaxed and happy after spending time with the kind, caring, professional staff. What a gift to our community and to my family!
Woof Pack offers a great variety of classes, from obedience to sport to overcoming fearfulness, and the class sizes are always small enough that everyone gets personal attention and can participate fully. Melissa's varied experience with training "typically-abled" dogs and "differently-abled" dogs (her personal pack includes several visually and/or aurally impaired dogs) means she can suggest training options for any dog of any background. We've completed three sets of classes with our pup and can't wait to do more; my parents have worked with Melissa in private sessions to address the reactivity and behavioral issues of their latest rescue, a German Shepherd dog, and the progress they've made with Melissa's assistance is remarkable. I highly recommend Woof Pack for anyone and any dog!
Very unprofessional. When we were finally able to get a hold of the owner, she said she was busy and would call us back that Sunday. It has been two weeks and messages left with no return phone calls. We needed help with our beloved dog and was looking forward to working with someone with her listed creditials but she only returned our call once just to say she would call back and never did. Not a way to run a business.
Woof Pack is the ONLY place I trust to leave my dogs. My dogs are my babies and even though I hate to leave them at all, I can, knowing they are completely well taken care of.
Gina is a kind, caring, and reliable pet nanny! Thank you for caring for our dogs, cats, horses birds, and lizzards. Simply the best!
Gina exceeded our expectations. Our dog, who usually barks at strangers, loves Gina. We trusted her to come into our home and take care of our dog several times a day when we had to go out of town in a pinch. She sent pictures and texts to reassure us all was ok, she walked her and fed her and took care of her potty needs. She went above and beyond to care for our dog and even did a few things to care for the house too. We will definitely be using Gina again!
Carol did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs. She was prompt and very thorough. We definitely recommend!
Carol is phenomenal! She groomed my pomeranian today and she done a wonderful job, she was groomed just as I asked and even got to play with some new friends. She is so knowledgeable and is a true animal lover. I would highly recommend paying her a visit. Thank you Carol!
They did an awesome job on my Lucy. Will go back to her soon.
Bark and Purr Pet Sitting is the best! They’re so friendly and wonderful with our pets and I’ve been really happy to have someone I can trust to care for them while I’m gone. I think my kitties look forward to my trips now lol 😝 Thank you so much! …
Genise and Carson were both amazing! From the home visit to communication while we were traveling. The detailed updates with photos were heartwarming. You can tell they really care for your pets while you’re away!
I used Bark and Purr for the first time this fall and will continue to employ them. They were absolutely on time and sent me photos and updates of interactions with my pet. I love the ease of payment online through the Time to Pet app. Five stars, great job!
Genise and her crew are wonderful. We just moved to this area and she came recommended from my former pet sitter’s company. We’re very happy with them and our three dogs are as well.
We are extremely happy for the love and care our fur baby, Zoe, gets from Bark and Purr Pet Sitting. We know she will be well cared for and loved.
Genise and Carson looked after our hamster and five cats, and they did a wonderful job!Everyone was very calm and happy when we returned. I highly recommend Bark and Purr!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Genise and Amy! They are absolutely phenomenal! They took care of our fur babies while we were out of town a few weeks ago and not only did they give them tender love and care but sent me amazing pictures at each visit! The love they have for animals is evident! Their website website allows you to put in instructions to the tee and they follow them and I love that you can edit it anytime! Their pricing is very fair and for all that they do and for my fur babies to stay in the comfort of their own home is a 100% win-win! 👍 I highly recommend their service and plan to use them again soon!
We were extremely happy with the care our three beagles received while we were away on vacation for 10 days. I loved that after each visit they sent photos and a summary. I was REALLY nervous leaving our fur babies with a new service after having the same pet sitter for many years, but after seeing how well things went after the first couple of days, I was able to really relax knowing that my trio was in good hands and well cared for. I would recommend Genise and her team to anyone.
We have used Bark & Purr Pet Sitting multiple times and have been very pleased with their services. Our fur babies love Genise and we enjoy the pictures she sends us during her visits. She has always been on time and goes above and beyond while she is here. We definitely recommend.
Genise is absolutely perfect for the job. She cared for my one cat and was thorough in every way you would expect and need. Friendly and genuinely interested in providing loving care for your pet, you can leave your home knowing your fur babies will be cared for as if they were her own.
