Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
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!
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
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!
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!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Kathy and Ron are the most accommodating sitters you will ever find. At my request they arrived a few days early and also made it clear they would be willing to extend their stay as needed. While at first they were a little uneasy about giving pills to our cat Sparky, they soon got the hang of it and did an excellent job caring for both cats even though the cats have very different schedules and needs. Kathy was great about keeping in touch with us and we knew they would be just fine for the several days when we were out of communication range. I would gladly invite Ron and Kathy back anytime and highly recommend them to you for your next getaway!
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 20$ 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!
We have been using them for dog walks and home stays for years. Love them. However we just started taking our husky puppy for daycare. What a goddess send! He gets to play and rest all day when I have to go to work and is sooo happy.
Pooch Buddies has be excellent to communicate with during our many years of arranging cat visits for our out-of-town trips. Janet is very responsive via email for requests and billing. We also got daily text updates about how our cat was doing and a happy picture of our furry friend. I would highly recommend their services for looking after your cat!
Janet and team are the best dog and cat sitters around. I totally trust them with my dogs and cats--they truly love animals vs just doing a job. I highly recommend them.
The best place for your pooch to stay!
Thank you, Kathy!

Been taking our cat Miko here for years. Allen is a cat whisperer who has always been the best caretaker imaginable.
Been coming here for years because Ernie our doxie loves it and he’s treated like dear family. Tysm. 🙏🏻🐶 …
I have been going to Northridge Pawsome for years. I have bought 2 of my cats (so far) to them, and the 3rd is going for her first visit tomorrow. They have been WONDERFUL. One of our cats had to be put down and it was an emotionally traumatic experience, but the staff was caring and supportive throughout the whole visit. Their cost seem reasonable and I have been very happy to have them taking care of our extended family. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Will be taking our new puppy there very soon.
My cat’s sitter was Suzi. Suzi was very responsive and accommodating throughout the entire process. I felt that I could trust her. Thank you, Suzi for taking care of my kitty 😸 …
Couldn't have asked for a more kind and compassionate boarding place for my dog. She really loved it here and got lots of attention and care. Thank you.
I cannot say enough good things about Maria! I’ve lived in LA for almost 4 years and she is the only one I’ve trusted to watch my dog, Kaia. What I love the most is that Maria sends me pictures of Kaia every day so I can see how she’s doing. She also allows her to go on the couch, just like she does when she is at home - which obviously I know not everyone would be okay with - especially with such a large dog. Every time we drop Kaia off, she is happy to go with Maria. If you are considering boarding your dog with Maria, you will not be disappointed! She has such a good heart and I feel like she truly treats my dog like her own. I highly recommend!
Maria is absolutely amazing with my dog Ursula and also was with my previous dog, Luna! As a small dog owner, it is very difficult to find someone to trust with your little fur babies. Maria is the one to choose. She is attentive and caring and keeps you updated on their stay. Her communication is excellent and she is responsible and reliable. I am always very happy with her services and you will be too.
I have left my baby with Maria endless times. She is always loving towards my dog. She loves to sleep on the couch, and play with Maria and her son. Iove the fact that she is taken care of and I receive pictures and videos while she's there. Maria is always reliable and welcoming when receiving my baby. I'm very grateful I was able to find her. 100% recommend.
Leo and Dianna are amazing! We found them at the end of 2022 when our other doggy daycare cancelled on us and Leo was more than happy to care for our dog Bowie. He get’s so excited when we turn onto Leo’s street and loves spending the day playing with his puppy friends. We 100% recommend Northridge Doggy Daycare and feel very comfortable dropping off our beloved Bowie each week.
Maria is a GREAT dog sitter, she goes above and beyond in communication and constantly sends you pics of your fur baby. My dog literally gets excited when we pull up to her house. Nothing but love at her house.
Jose is amazing with Toby… Toby looks forward to his daily walks with Jose and love that we have no rain coming up because Toby misses him when we do. Communications is amazing with Jose, super flexible and reliable. We would recommend Jose for your fur babies at home!!!!
Jose is trustworthy, reliable and an indispensable support for our family. He is available, responds immediately and always sends us pictures when he’s with our dog. We live close by and he has been great with short notice visits as well. I would highly recommend Jose to take care of your pet when your gone.
Jose is great! He was able to take care of my fur baby with such a short notice. Jose took the time to meet my dog to make him feel comfortable during his stay. Took him on multiple walks and sent me pictures of my baby’s day, which made me more comfortable. Thank you Jose!!
I never worry about my cats when Jose is looking after them. Jose has been my pet sitter for the last three years. He kindly sends updates and pictures of what the cats are doing. As a bonus he brings in the trash cans if it’s trash day. Jose really helps reduce the stress of travel. I am happily recommending Jose.
Jose is the most incredible dog sitter I’ve ever used. I don’t have the easiest dogs, and it’s always a challenge to find someone who has such calm energy that gets them to listen and relax. He gives updates with each visit with photos, and most importantly, my dogs adore him!
Jose is our go to for watching and caring for our dogs. He is completely responsible reasonably priced and trustworthy. Hire him and you wont regret it!!!
I called Jose ‘s reference s and immediately felt comfortable because they all adore him as we now do and our cats love him its nice to feel comfortable with the person you trust with your pets and I highly recommend Jose!
Kat is incredibly charming and friendly. She knows how to make both you and your pet comfortable as soon as she walks in the door. Even my skittish 2 year old cat warmed up to her pretty quickly. She's always there when you need her to watch your animals, and is just a great person overall. I am moving soon and am sad to have to find another pet sitter in my new city. Kat's the best I know!
Kat is a friendly and compassionate pet caregiver. We recently went on a vacation and she took care of our 6 pets (3 Dogs & 3 [Special-needs] Cats). She made sure they were all fed, walked and played while we were gone. She also walks our 3 Dogs three times a week. They all simply love her and she is definitely part of the pack! We trust her and feel that out pets are safe and secure with Kat. Thanks!
When Kat first came to my home she immediately fell in love with my two dogs and showed them a very proper greeting. I could tell right away she had won them over and they would love for her to come back. I felt very safe and secure while I was out of town and knew my two boys would be well cared for...Kat has lots of experience and is super trustworthy. Friend for life!
We are Mia and Ziggy, and we are scaredy cats, but we love that Kat took great care of us! We just hide away and sleep all day, but Kat did all she could to entertain us and try to get us to play. But more than that, she really made our human family feel at ease. She texted them each day to let them know we were fine. We would love to have Kat kitty-sit us again!
Kat is loving, attentive, and down to earth. Our dog Abby adores her and jumps for joy when it is time for their walk together. Kat is also very knowledgeable about animals and advocates for our furry friends :)
My cat, Fuller, is rather self sufficient and seems to barely notice when I'm gone for 48 hours or more. However, longer trips are called for on occasion and I hired Kat's K9 CIty Pet Services to look in on him while I was away for about a week. Fuller seemed perfectly happy when I returned. I filled out a comprehensive questionnaire. I indicated that Fuller LOVES lap time and can be slightly aggressive when he finds a high perch. Luckily, Fuller is healthy and short on quirks, but I came away with the impression that even the most finicky animal could be handled. I gave emergency contact information and signed various other forms. Per my request I was texted a few shots of Fuller being adorable. Between Fuller and Me, I think I'm the most anxious when I'm away and Kat's K9 City Pet Services put me totally at ease. I will use their services again in the future.
No I didn’t go here but maybe in the future I will
Susan was absolutely amazing in taking care of our kitten Miza. She spent there half a month when we were on a long trip overseas. She was updating us everyday with pictures and videos. She looked very joyful in her cat's paradise) Very good ratio of price and value. We were very happy with their services and definitely will make this our permanent place for Miza to stay when we are away!)
Susanne was absolutely amazing! She was very friendly and took great care of my cat. I had to increase the boarding dates last minute a few times due to my flight being moved around and she was more than willing to accommodate the extra days. She sent pictures, videos, and updates on my cat every day and was quick to respond to my texts and calls. I highly recommend her and would have her watch my cat again should the need ever arise. The room she set up for the cats has a few cat beds, a cat tower, toys, pillows, and a tv playing nature videos on it. My cat was nervous at first being in a new area away from home, but he quickly settled in and started enjoying the environment. Thanks again, Susanne!
Wonderful service, Layla didn’t do well in the past when I was away for a night. She spent five days with Paws Pet Boarding and did really well. I was provided pics and updates each day. It almost felt like she didn’t want to leave 🙂. …
Suzanne was the best sitter for my cat tuna. She provided images and videos everyday and took time to make sure tuna was comfortable and in the best care. When tuna was angry and hissing, she was patient and took time for tuna to become comfortable. In the end tuna loved her so much! Can’t wait to take her back to him when I’m traveling again. Thanks Suzanne!!!
It is great we can leave our three cats in a home with a dedicated and passionate caregiver. Susanne provided a great space, excellent care. She kept us informed and sent pictures and videos. She was also flexible for pick up and drop off. Highly recommended!
Susanne has been an angel in taking care of my kitty. I have used her services twice and been very happy with the daily photos, videos, and overall love she has shown towards Miyuki. As all cats are, Miyuki was shy the first trip. The second trip, Miyuki is now a best friend. I will use Susanne and her services every time when needed in the future and 100% recommend.
I dropped my 16 year old fur baby for 11 days. Susanne and her daughter Jasmine took wonderful care of my high maintenance kitty and sent me pictures and videos daily.. I will definitely use them again! Thank you Susanne and Jasmine 🫶😻You gave me peace of mind. …
Best boarding that we have found, our dog Mickey loves to stay there and of course play in Susan's house pool when is hot, she really cares for him, ours is a Golden Retriever and he is very active, we never felt disappointed with Susan care, she really cares for our pets.
My pup has been going there for awhile now. They always give him lots of love and attention and they have a backyard which is great for even more exercise and playtime. He is always safe, happy, and healthy there and they love him like a dear family member.
Wonderful experience for my 8 week old kitten that we rescued. Had to go oot for 11 days so used this pretty service! Recommend to anyone!
We were trying to find a very flexible dog sitter for our dog Cooper and Hane has been 100% amazing. When I needed last minute dog sitting she was very responsive and helpful with what we needed. She also sends pictures of my dog which is pretty cool and I love that she has a yes that he can run around and play. Her attentiveness is perfect for our dog and I highly recommend her for your pet!
Hane was an incredible dog sitter who is knowledgable in her craft. We felt very safe in our decision to leave our pet in her care. She kept us updated during her entire stay.
She was a very responsible and interactive care taker. Appreciated that she let us know how our dog was doing periodically. She seems experienced in taking care of dogs. I will definitely trust her to take care of our dog again and her fees are reasonable.
We are searching for a dog sitter in the area and found a gem in Hane. She takes care of our dear Gucci like a member of the family. Gucci is excited to spend time with her. We highly recommend her.
Hane is always amazing watching my dog! Very attentive and keeps me updated during his entire stay with her. I am so happy we found her!
We took our pup here and she loved it. She had a great time and took a long nap after. Would definitely recommend!
This place is beyond awesome! We took our Shiba Inu to the place when we visited Universal Studio. Shan and Dan's dogs are all really sweet and nice, our baby really enjoyed playing with them and he even cried when we picked him up because he had so much fun there and didn't want to leave! Definitely would recommend this place if you ever need to bring your dogs to daycare.
This place is awesome!! My pup was so happy while staying there, she meet new friends. The sitters were very responsive to text mesaages, even sent some pictures so that we can see what my lil one was doing. We will definitely be back when we visit CA again.
On vacation from our Las Vegas home, we have the extreme good fortune to find HOUNDS OF THE HILLS where we boarded our three little dog babies for a week. They were so loved, had much attention, many walks and really had a fun time. This place has no equal....it is simply the best.
Our Dog had a great time. The owner was very friendly. She met all of our expectations and more. The next time I am in California I will be taking my dog here for sure!
They took very good care of our pups while we went to universal studios.
Our dog Jerry loves coming here! Always comes home exhausted from time at daycare.
Best place to leave your furry friend, and very covenant if going to Universal Studios!
STGreat people to care for your four legged family member while the rest of the family is visiting Universal Studios.
Very kind and flexible
Great people!
