This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
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!
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!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
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!
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.
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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, $20/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!
I highly recommend booking with Laura! She has taken great care of my four cats while I was away for both short and long trips, and I would not hesitate to call her again. You can expect to regular communication, including daily photos of your pets, and will rest assured that your pets are in good hands. Laura cares for your pets as though they were her own! Finally I would emphasize that Laura’s rates are very reasonable and I appreciated her availability during the holiday season.
Laura is wonderful! I’ve gone on several week-long trips and she has reliably fed my cat and given her snuggles, while giving me individualized report cards and photos. I’m also very particular when it comes to my cat’s feeding schedule and my home door lock/security system can be finicky, but Laura handled both like a pro. Highly recommended!
Laura is amazing!!! She has been walking my dogs for at least 2 years and they love her! She is very caring, responsible, and dependable....even has helped with emergency check-ins. She works with my crazy schedule and even helps reinforce training. 1000% percent recommend her!!
Laura is the best dog walker we could ask for! She is incredibly kind and clearly cares about all the dogs she sees. After every walk she sends us a map of where they walked with pictures and videos every single time. She also goes above and beyond for her clients. We have recommended her to literally everyone I know in the area that has a dog as I cannot say enough good things about her! Our dog loves a lot her too!! We are so lucky to have her :)
I have used Laura for my dog probably 6 times. I know my dog is well taken care of when I am out of town and I always receive updates throughout. I HIGHLY recommend, especially if you want the type of care that a boarding facility cannot provide. My dog adores Laura and feels so comfortable with her.
Laura has been a godsend for my dog and me! She is so reliable, kind, and caring! She came so highly recommended to me and I recommend her to everyone I know. She takes the best care of my dog and makes sure that she has the best time. Laura sends updates, pictures, and a map of where they went so that you know what they've been doing. My dog has bonded to Laura and looks forward to seeing her every week!
Laura is an amazing pet sitter! She cared for our 3 elderly cats ( 2 of which needed daily medications) . She regularly sent us pictures and updates and we felt at much more at ease knowing that she was taking such good care of our fur babies. I highly recommend her
Laura is absolutely reliable and my cats love her. She consistently goes above and beyond. She does little things beyond just pet care that make a huge difference, like bringing in packages and mail, and taking care of plants. She also is always willing to jump in at the last minute when plans change, which they often do. Having Laura taking care of my cats takes a huge weight off my mind when I am away.
Laura is the best and I trust her wholeheartedly with my dog! She understands the anxiety that can come with leaving your pet in the care of someone else and is very thorough and responsive with her updates. She also has incredible attention to detail when it comes to your specific animal’s needs so I know my dog is very safe and happy with her! :)
Laura is the best dog walker we’ve ever had! She is extremely reliable and has been very flexible when we’ve needed a last-minute walk or had a change in schedule. After every walk she sends a map showing where they went with helpful notes and photos - and most importantly our dog adores her!
Maureen took great care of our dogs while we were out of town for several days! From the start, she was easy to reach and responsive. She came to meet us and our dogs before our trip, and sent us messages and pictures of the dogs playing while we were away. She took care of some packages that were delivered as well. Overall, she is professional, responsible and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to call her again!
Maureen came highly recommended to us when we were looking for someone to take care of our dogs during our honeymoon. We didn’t want to board them, because our dog Gryffin has anxiety, so we preferred that they’d be able to stay in their own home. After meeting with Maureen for only a few minutes we could tell that she was trustworthy, responsible, and very experienced. We felt so much better knowing that she was caring for our fur babies while we were away, and judging by the pictures she would send us, it’s arguable that the dogs preferred her company over ours at times! When we decided that we were going to move out of town, one of our first thoughts was, who else are we going to find to take care of the dogs who’s as good as her? I guess that’s how you know when somebody’s really good at what they do! Thanks Maureen!
Simply put - Maureen is the best! Maureen was recommended to us by a friend and we have been using her dog walking services weekly. We have two dogs, one of whom is extremely anxious and fearful of new people. Maureen was incredibly patient and took the time to slowly get to know our anxious dog and put those fears to rest! We recently had Maureen take care of our dogs while we were out of town for a week; it was such a relief to be able to go away and not have a single worry about the dogs. Maureen made sure they got plenty of outside time, exercise, and extra attention while we were gone and we returned to very happy, tired dogs! I would (and have) recommend Maureen to anyone without hesitation.
I am so thankful we found Maureen! She takes WONDERFUL care of our dog, providing her with walks, lots of outside time, and plenty of love! Maureen is professional (with many years of veterinary experience), reliable, and incredibly responsive. If you need someone for walking your animals or pet sitting, do NOT hesitate - call her today!
A friend of mine referred me to MC Pet Care for dog walking services and I couldn't be happier! Maureen has been providing care (dog walking services M-F and overnight pet sitting) for our dog, Ruby, since the first week we took her home. She is reliable and trustworthy and takes care of our dog as if she were one of her own.
MC Pet Care is THE very best pet care there is! Maureen has stayed at our home and our lab Bailey has also stayed at her home. She is honest, trustworthy and overall a very caring person. When you choose Maureen for your pet care needs, you will have nothing at all to worry about. She is efficient and responsive when contacted and your pet couldn't be in better hands!!
MC Pet Care is a wonderful business! I'd rate 10 stars if I could. Maureen She stayed in our home when we were traveling and took the best care of our furry family member, which was especially helpful as she got older. I can personally attest that Maureen will treat your companion (cat, dog, alpaca, mini pony, duck, etc) like her own. She is caring, considerate, professional and all around just a great person.
Maureen is the best dog sitter! She is very responsive and reliable. My dog loves her and always looks so happy in the pictures when she’s at Maureen’s house.
Amazing service. Happy cats.
Treats my dogs better then I do! Reliable and very trustworthy, I wouldn’t leave my girls with anyone else. I couldn’t speak more highly of Maureen
We are so grateful to have found Meg to take care of our puppy Ruby. Ruby has spent days and nights at Megs and she loves it! She loves playing with her fur baby friends and she loves spending time with Meg. We know Ruby is safe and loved every time she is with Meg in her home.
Meg is the best. She has been taking care of my puppy for a while now and has been energetic, reliable and quick to identify and communicate any issue worth noting. As a new dog owner I have trusted her advice and am happy to have her a part of my team. Most importantly, my puppy LOVES her!
She takes great care of the pets. Better then some parents take care of their kids, we have had 3 rescues and they all love going to Meg. recommend her 112%
Meg is outstanding! We went on vacation and she took care of our 2 dogs, Champ and Rosco, and our cat Gypsy as her own. But when she noticed the plants needed watering, she took care of them also. Going on vacation is so much easier now. Thank you very much.
Meg is amazing, my animals absolutely adore her! I cannot begin to cover how amazing it is to have multiple animals & still be able to travel with no worries! That was not always the case. Being able to leave town with zero worries is a godsend. When I moved into the area, Meg was a referral from another pet sitter that knew Meg could handle multiple animals, work with any breed and she would not shy away from special needs. The fact that all my furbabies absolutely love her is just icing on the cake. The furbabies and I are the fortunate ones, Meg makes it easy for us.
Meg is simply amazing! We have 2 black house panthers that are extremely skittish. We were extremely nervous how they'd behave with her, whether they'd come out to eat or not. When Meg visits to feed them they greet her at the door and accept chin scratches. They hide from everyone else but not Meg. She has a very calm and soothing energy that animals respond to. She is truly a house panther whisperer! Can't recommend her enough!
Headed out of town for Christmas and a week before leaving we realized we needed a sitter for our Bunny Lola. Found Meg online and she came to the rescue. She was extremely reliable and prompt. She was willing to come to my place for daily visits with Lola which worked out great for Lola. She is now listed in my contacts as Bunny sitter for future vacations. Defiantly recommend. Thank you Meg!!
We were heading out of town for a week and ran into a pinch trying to find a reliable pet sitter/boarder. All the big names were booked and couldn’t accommodate and most didn’t even answer their phones or call me back. On the second day of research and phone calls I came across Meg’s business. She was able to squeeze our Sherman into her schedule. What a blessing! Her high reviews were accurate in describing her quality of service, care, and competitive prices. She’s very personable, loves dogs and spoils them rotten! Sherman did not miss us! Haha! Every other day she sent photos and videos of the fun, friends and activities that the dogs were enjoying. You CANNOT get the level of care anywhere else like with Meg. It proved to be more of a home than a business, a passion more than a profit for Meg. I will DEFINITELY be recommending her to all my friends and booking with her in the future.
Love Meg, we work together in rescue. Let me tell you, I've never seen a more loving person. I highly recommend her services if you need a pet sitter, she will treat your dog as if it was her own.
Meg is fabulous with all animals. She is loving, kind, compassionate and a true animal lover. She has a heart of gold and treats her client’s pets with the utmost care. Highly recommend her!
