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!
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 feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
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.
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Cat and Paul sat for me in December and kept a watchful eye on my trusty sidekick Jake. All I can say is my gosh what a great job they did giving Jake a lot of TLC. He obviously missed them since he wandered around our home looking for them after their departure. My home was left in the exact same condition and they did a great job of communicating with me during my trip, letting me know exactly how Jake was getting along. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of my home and showing Jake a great time. I hope that during the coming year they will volunteer to do another sit for me. If you need any other specifics about how awesome a sitter Cat is please feel free to call or email me and I will be more than happy to give you more details. Hope you have an opportunity in the future to use them as house and pet sitters! Regards! Edward
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 $30 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!
Be warned - extremely dirty and unhygienic kennel. Does not allow owners to view the kennels due to “OHS”, so you have no idea whether your dog is sleeping in a filthy kennel, outdoor area is not disclosed, no report card. We have taken our dog here twice for a total of 5 nights. On both occasions our beloved dog was returned to us with a sticky coat, and he smelt horrendous. He also sustained a minor cut to the tip of his nose and staff gave no explanation. Im concerned this facility is not at the minimum standards per the code of practice for boarding establishments. Never returning here again.
Our dogs and cats love staying at PamPurred Pets. The dogs are always happy to walk in with the staff and are bright and happy when we go back to collect them. Added on a bath this time and they come back smelling so nice. The cats are also returned clean and happy. Staff are friendly and extremely accommodating when our schedule changed and I had to adjust days or turn up later then expected. Thank you to PamPurred Pets for taking such good care of our family. Will definitely have our pets stay again if we return to the area.
My GSD stayed here for the first time in December 2023. Staff were incredibly flexible and accommodating to my requests and my dog's needs. Heidi came back a happy girl and the staff did a great job with her wash and groom.
The best cattery and dog sitters in the Mitchell Shire We love thier care and dedication to looking after our Fur baby
Easy to find and conveniently located on the way to Melbourne. When we picked up our dog she seemed a lot happier than she had been when we picked her up from some other kennels we tried. If the dog likes the place then that really speaks volumes. If my dog could speak, I'm sure she would be speaking those volumes too.
First experience, the jury is still out. As a first time for us, I'm not sure any kennel was going to be evaluated "fairly to them", with all the first timer worries etc. On one hand, they know this first timer issue and could have picked it easily in us, and added a little more positivity and reassurance - but it was instead like being in a forcing yards which made those worries much worse. On the other hand, if they had to hand-hold every customer on their first time, maybe they've learnt that it's not worth it - they will still worry and their staff time is wasted on trying? This might also explain the strict "no customers beyond the front door" policy also; too much emotional response from the person is undesirable & might stress out the animal as well? And possibly they're more geared towards kitties than puppies at some deeper level or just the individual work whom I interacted. Our doggie came back a bit timid and withdrawn but bounced back over the next day or two. I guess that's normal after you abandon them a few days like that. So I wouldn't say "never again" but I'm not sure I could recommend PamPurred at this point. It could be the first timer, 'nothing is good enough for my dog' sort of expectations, or it could be an individual who had a bad couple days or doesn't like dogs, or it could be the industry and a widespread lack of time/margins to allow for a more open & reassuring process. I've shared my thoughts for all to make their own assessment, including those with much more experience than I. Good luck!
Thoroughly recommend. Very happy to leave Roxy here knowing she will be well looked after. When we pick her up she is always bright and happy plus, she smells even better than when we dropped her off!! Lovely staff who obviously adore animals.
My cat really seemed to like it here. She was calm and happy when I dropped her off and when I picked her up 15 days later. I have had other not so great experiences with Catteries, here the dog kennels are far apart so my cat was not stressed by the sounds and smells of dogs. booking was easy and staff were friendly warm and animal people. highly recommend!
Lovely people to deal with. Both dogs were very happy and not at all stressed. I highly recommend PamPurred Pets
Pam and her team are just absolutely wonderful. We had out two cats there for three weeks during 2022/2023 Christmas holidays and they were perfectly looked after. Highly recommend PamPurredPets to everyone !!!! Will be using them again.
