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.
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
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!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
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 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!
Susan is one of the most amazing human beings ever! My husband and I have 2 English Bulldogs that are our everything. We always get pictures of the time Susan spends with our pups and they are always amazing pics. Our 2 dogs Butter and Moose just adore Susan and we could not have gotten through Moose puppy times without her. She started coming during the day, while we were at work to take them out and this helped potty train Moose. Susan also writes in a notebook about her time with our pups and if they had treats etc. we trust Susan with our precious little furry family members and if you are looking for a good person that is great with animals, Susan is the right person for sure!
Susan has been walking my dogs for years! - She is always prompt, professional, and safe. My two 100lb + dogs adore her.
Susan takes excellent care of our pups. The dogs absolutely love her and we are grateful for her amazing skills and good heart. Susan always goes above and beyond to give our pups all they need and beyond. She is like family to us. Highly, highly recommended!
I still cannot believe how lucky I am to have found Susan. We live in the Cle Elum area with a dog, cat and chickens. Before Susan, it was hard to leave the house for any length of time. Now we travel with complete peace of mind. She takes wonderful care of our critters and they love her to pieces. Susan is an excellent communicator whom we trust completely. I cannot recommend her enough.
Susan has helped us with our cat and dog for 5 years now - I don't know what we'd do without her! She is completely reliable, sensible and thoughtful always. Our dachshund is 11 and Susan is patient with her. Great communication each day and planning for each week. I never worry about our pets on the days she comes to our home. She is trustworthy and super caring. She always let's us know how the walks go and anything unusual about our dog's health or otherwise. So thankful we found her!! She has always done a great job for us, without a doubt.
Susan has lovingly cared for my cats and my dog for several years. She has always gone well above and beyond, making sure to send adorable pictures of ‘my boys’ when I travel, and update her notebook with details from each visit. Her experience working for a vet just adds to my comfort in leaving my pets in her care. I have recommended her to three different friends, and they each speak glowingly about her service.
We have a Japanese hunting breed, Shikoku and is known for not the easiest to handle. We got the dog from Canada 5 years ago, and he was required to quarantine at home for 12 weeks. Because of this, his socialization window was closed when we could bring him out. We needed a dog walker who was experienced, patient, and understood how to handle a dog reactive pup. Susan was referred to us by another dog walker who specialized in difficult to handle breeds. We met Susan and immediately liked her, she was knowledgeable about difficult to handle dogs. She was so pleasant, and we immediately trusted her. Susan was reliable, rain or shine, she showed up day after day. Not only that our dog got the exercise he needed, Susan shared with us her methodology on handling our dog. We saw that his leash manners improved over time when we walked him. Now, he's no longer reactive but focuses on us when he sees other dogs. We also have two chihuahuas, Susan sees them when she comes, she treats them as well. Now when I say "Susan is here", all three of them jump up and down for her. She provides the best service and care!!!
Susan, from Petsercise in Bellevue, is a life saver! She seamlessly stepped in when surgery prevented me from walking my two dogs. She has accommodated each dog's special needs perfectly. She is flexible, prompt and very reliable. She has a true love of dogs, and has taken the time to get to know each one individually. Though I have fully recovered, I have continued to have Susan walk the dogs a few times a week. They love seeing her and it has helped me immensely organize my work day. I would not hesitate to recommend Susan, and Petsercise, for dog walking or check in care. She really takes the time to get to know your dogs and their particular needs. She has been so helpful; just perfect!
Susan is the best dog walker my dog Bella ever had. She’s dependable, a good communicator, responsive and very caring a good with animals. Bella, my dog has stranger danger and Susan and Bella bonded quickly. Susan did a great job working with Bella and helping her feel safe on walks. She’s amazing and you should hire her now. I only wish we still lived in Issaquah.
My husband and I have had Susan come visit our Vizsla for almost two years. We added a Corgi in January and both our dogs love it when she comes. Susan is very reliable, sends text photos to you of your dog and writes in a log book all that she and the pets did during her visit.
My mini-doodle Rusty had a wonderful experience during a full day at Mac’s Dog Camp. He came home tired, happy and eager to come back. Mac kept a close eye on him to make sure he was socializing well with the other dogs. He also worked with Rusty with some obedience training. We will schedule another visit soon!
We had an amazing experience. Macken is an incredible dog sitter. He cared for our 11-week-old GSP puppy and seamlessly incorporated our training into the dog sitting. He also cared for two of our family members' dogs, aged 3 and 8, taking them on daily walks and adventures. The communication was excellent, and we were delighted to receive daily pictures of our pups. Thank you, Macken, for taking such good care of our pups and providing lots of fun while we were away for the weekend!
Macken watched my pup Milo for 3 days (including an overnight stay) and did such a great job! He did some training and got my city dog comfortable off-leash. Macken researched more about Italian greyhounds, since he hadn't watched them before and showed a lot of care when watching Milo.
