Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
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! 
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
Our review is written by Steven (house owner, host + my father) + also by Kim (the daughter). Written by Kim: This was our first house sit since the passing of my mother in late Dec 2023. I was helping my father Steven (whose profile it is) manage all the emails + try + find a great house sitter + came along Gretchen’s profile! Not only is she a cool cat + someone you might want to get to know, I found myself quickly talking to her. I shortly found out her profile is just a glimpse of how interesting she is but talking to her was so much better! She is a world traveler with many experiences + stories to share. We quickly became conversationalists who could talk forever + probably will continue to do so! Thank you TH! She is easy to communicate with + continued the consistent communication all along our journey of having her as our *first* guest after my mom’s passing. It was clearly a time filled with anxiety + sensitivity so there were some sensitive topics to go over + Gretchen got it right away. A few of our rooms in the house were off-limits (as they housed my mom’s things) but we reassured her the house has ample space for her to enjoy + there are many lovely outdoor spaces to boot! When she arrived she felt she was in paradise + really relished in the outdoor beauty + the indoor coziness. We were happy to share it with someone who appreciated it so much! She also was very understanding with the fact that both my dad + I would both be involved as we both handled different parts of the stay. Me, writing + setting up the Welcome Guide + would go over the situation but then upon her arrival my dad would take over + answer any questions mostly during her sit. The good part of having 2 people is she had accessibility to us both, in the case she needed it + sometimes it came up! She juggled all the communication oh so well. My mom usually handled most of the logistics so this being our first time we were nervous something would come up we might not know but it didn’t! It was new territory for us + we wanted to make sure she had everything. Gretchen handled it all with such ease, seamlessly, really respecting our wishes/desires + taking all the information into her hands + making it seem easy on her end to do so. She was easy to coordinate schedules with! There was a gap in her 1st + 2nd sit but everything went seamlessly even when my flight had a day long delay. She was able to coordinate schedules with me arriving in between, then leaving, my dad arriving different days + us extending the trip too. It all worked out! We were all a good team! She absolutely loved our older cat, Benny + he fast + furiously fell in love with her oh so easily. When I saw him, he looked oh so loved + after saying hi to me went over to ‘her’ bed + slept there waiting for her to come back. She sent many pictures, videos + even cute creations + toys she made for our Benny + it was obvious the house + our Benny were her first priority. She even asked us if she could help prune our flowers/shrubs, something my mom used to do + honestly it was an honor to hear her ask that. She was welcome to set up her art studio + play away. She was very communicative when our house cleaner, landscape gardener + house manager showered up for different reasons. When I arrived back for a short stint before she came back the 2nd time our mail was so well organized it was an assembly line! She also offered to take down our xmas tree (as we were a bit behind in taking down our xmas decorations) + she was sensitive to the fact that we were adjusting to a new normal. Thank you so much Gretchen! You made our first sit in a long time so seamless + such a relief that we are ready now to host again. We only wish we could have more Gretchen’s! (She’s also a super talented artist!) Written by Steven: Overall, Gretchen has been an absolute treasure. She has fulfilled our goals for a house sitter perfectly - she took good care of the house, great care of our treasured pet, Mr. Benny + took care of the grounds such as watering a few plants + trees. She excelled in all the above + is welcome back anytime I will be out of town 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!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
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!!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
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!
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, $15/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 would highly recommend this company, Mary is such a kind person & one of the only people I’d feel comfortable leaving my dog with.
Rhonda has been wonderful with our sometimes “demanding” cat! She treats him like her own and always answers my text messages when I’m missing him.
Will never take my kitty anywhere else. Rhonda is the best, She takes such good care of our kitty. We've been going to her for 15 yrs. I've never had a complaint.
My cat has been boarded here for several years. Rhonda is excellent with cats ... I never worry. I've chosen Sandbox Ranch Lodge over much closer kennels because of the great care.
There is no place I would trust more to care for my cat. She is 18yo, needs meds morning & evening plus is challenging to feed...and Rhonda is amazing with her!!
Checking in and out was very easy They monitored and adjusted to our cat's mood We supplied the cat food so that he didn't have to adjust Our cat after return is happier than when he was bordered at other locations
Best cat lodge EVER. Great digs and best care from experienced family.
Great personalized care for our pet!
Perfect place to board your kitty!
Good
Excellent
Lady Di doggy daycare and boarding is fantastic. Our dog, Pippi is actually pretty shy and was very nervous with our previous doggy day care. Now she runs up the stairs to see her friends! Pippi clearly adores everyone who is at Lady Di. We feel totally comfortable boarding her there too. One less thing to worry about when we have to travel. We have also used Lady Di's for in home pet care for our cat, Sophie. We were totally confident that she would get great care while we were gone and we were right. Sophie was happy to see us but happy, healthy, and friendly when we returned. Thank you to everyone at Lady Di Pet chaperone. I can't recommend them enough!
My labradoodle loves Lady Di Pet Chaperone! Kaia goes several days per week and has boarded. She’s always happy to get dropped off and adores the staff! So glad we found Lady Di’s!
Great place for small dogs. They take care of your pets like they are their own in an open environment. My dogs had a great vacation there! Staff is amazing. Will definitely be bringing my kids back.
It's tough to let someone into your home when you're traveling, so finding someone like Sarah - kind, trustworthy, reliable... and a true animal lover is wonderful. Sarah is simply amazing. We've taken a couple of trips to care for ailing family members and she's provided home visit care for our shy cat, Tucker. Not only does she do the basics - feeding, cleaning the box, giving pets (if he lets her get close enough) - she also reports on anything unusual that she happens to see. Knowing she's here to care for Tucker has helped us focus on family matters without worrying about how our kitty is doing in our absence. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend Sarah and her team. My active goldendoodle loved going to daycare sessions ahead of my 12-day trip overseas. I felt totally relaxed leaving her there. It's obvious they take care. I would totally use them again!
We are so grateful to Lady Di Pet Chaperone and staff for taking such wonderful care of our 5 month old puppy. I was forced to find a daycare after getting a not so nice note from a neighbor. I had seen this place close to where I live so I decided to check them out after doing research and reading reviews. After completing the application and sending an e-mail, I was contacted immediately. He has been going there almost two months and he is a very happy dog. He is excited to go and gets home exhausted from playing with his friends all day. Because of his positive interactions and the great care from the staff, he is friendly around people and other dogs. As for me, I am able to go to work without feeling guilty because I know he is in good hands. It is evident that Sarah and her staff really love and care about what they do.
Excellent place to care for dogs while out of town. I am very confident to leave Bowie with Sara and her team ❤️ highly recommended.
Sarah and team are amazing. Our puppy absolutely loves going. They take such great care of him and are so communicative. We are so incredibly thankful to have them in our lives.
Huge thank you to Lady Di for watching our Golden Doodle over the past few years! Everyone at Lady Di is professional with a great attitude, and it definitely was the highlight of the work week for our Pup, who could not wait to get there each morning and was always exhausted when we came to pick her up. Thank you, Lady Di!
Best care ever for our puppy! They make sure our boy is active and enjoying the time socializing with other dogs.
The owners were very caring and answered all our questions about the stay. Our dog loved staying with them and playing with the other dogs instead of kept in a kennel. We will definitely be using them again when needed!
Patricia and Steven have a great place . The dogs are happy and well behaved. They get to run out and play in the large fenced yard or hang out with people in the well kept living room. My dog Molly adjusted so quickly and didn’t even want to come home. I told Patricia she must be a dog whisperer .
I have been using Patricia almost daily now for over 3 months while I am at work. She is AMAZING with my 1 year old puppy, he always has so much energy and is ZONKED by the time he comes home. It was scary at first leaving him for 8 hours a day with another person but Patricia has eased all of my stresses by loving my dog almost as much as me and always being so pleasant to interact with. He has NEVER had any problems and when he was boarded for a few days while I was out of town I got photo updates regularly. She truly does love what she does and loves her animals and I can guarantee she treats all the pups she cares for like her own. He is always so excited to go, and it makes me so happy he can have fun and play while I work full time. I never have to worry that he is not being cared for or that he is unhappy. I cannot recommend Patricia more. Your pups will always be loved and well cared for here.
I have been so happy with my experiences using Patricia and Steven's Doggy Daycare, and most importantly, my doggos have loved the visits too. I was incredibly relieved to find them available last minute during Spring Break after I had a death in the family and had to leave the state unexpectedly and on short notice. I'm definitely not the kind of pet owner who is comfortable leaving their pets with just anyone, but after the initial Meet and Greet, I was much more reassured. Patricia told me she wanted the experience of loved pets coming to stay with them to feel like they were going to "Gwammie's house", and that was 100% the experience she provided. They make sure to take only a select number of dogs so each can get the attention it deserves and will strictly adhere to any diet your kiddo is on. Their home is an environment that is definitely dog-friendly and it really impressed me how well all the dogs, including mine, settled in and got along well with each other. I also really liked that the dogs have access to a doggy-door to go outside to a fenced area to potty when they needed. As an extra bonus, it was even a little less expensive than the pet hotel I would have normally used. When it came time to schedule my vacation, I absolutely wanted to use their services again and was so grateful they were available. When my girls realized where they were going, they were so happy to go back and got super excited in the car. It left me with a feeling that my dogs were comfortable with the previous stay and relaxed with the idea of staying again, which is always so reassuring when you leave your pets as a pet parent. In the future, they will absolutely be my pet-sitting service of choice!
We have been boarding our dogs with Patricia and her son for the last few years. They are so awesome with our pups. We recently just had our pup boarded with them for a week and half. And due to weather conditions we got stuck and couldn't pick our pup up for another few days. They were so accommodating and understanding. We really appreciate how much they care for our pup! Patricia and Steven are fantastic! And our dogs love hanging out at her house and playing!
I could not be happier with Patricia's Doggy Daycare. While visiting our original plans fell through and we were stuck with finding a quick alternative. I called a couple of other places, and they could not even get us a meet and greet until the end of the month. Then I called Patricia and she worked with my short notice needs. At the meet and greet I knew right away that this was a great place to leave my dog for the day. Patricia was very flexible and accommodating as our schedule changed at the last minute. If you are looking for a great place to take your pup, I highly recommend Patricia's Doggy Daycare.
Patricia and Steven have been taking care of my dog regularly for the last 6 months and I personally recommend them to coworkers, friends, and family members. She has a large, wonderful fenced yard that dogs have 24/7 access to via a doggy door--which is great for my high-energy dog that loves to play all-day-long. Patricia and Steven are life-savers for me and my best furry friend! I can't thank them enough for taking such great care of my dog.
We used Patricia’s Doggie Daycare for a week while on a trip to Texas. Patricia arranged several meet and greets to make sure our pups would all get along. There is a big fenced yard for the dogs to run around in as well as a doggie door for easy outdoor access. Patricia and her son Steven took great care of Dougal. She sent regular updates to me to ease my mind since this was the first time we had left our boy with anyone. Patricia is very knowledgeable on just about every aspect of pet care. She is kind and very calm. We will definitely be using her services again! Thanks Patricia and Steven!
Our dog Jasper had an amazing experience w Patricia and her son Steven. It was his first time and they took very good care of him! Patricia kept me updated and was very responsive to texts. You can tell they both really care for dogs and treated Jasper as one of their own. He definitely will be going back!
Patricia seems like a dog whisperer! We were in the area from out of town for a weekend and needed a place for our dog to go while we went to the Kitsap Forest Theater. She was responsive to all communication, reassuring and professional. She and her son took great care of our fur baby, who had a recent bad experience at a different kennel and is now nervous. When I picked my dog up, she seemed content and having a good time. Thankful to have found her!
We’ve used Close to Home cat sitting services since 2021 and we are very grateful for the team! The cat team is so kind and communicative, it gives us great peace of mind when we travel! Scheduling is always so easy and Close to Home is so understanding and great at problem solving when we’ve hit unexpected travel changes. It’s always a relief coming to happy cats who hardly notice our absence lol.
I’ve been using Close to Home pet services for a couple years now. I couldn’t be more pleased with the service they provide! I have complete peace of mind knowing that my cat, Boots, is being well taken care of. All of his caregivers are excellent from Ben to Shannon to Lydia to Brooklyn. They all have a special way of showing Boots a lot of love and sending me entertaining reports with awesome pictures of him. Not only are they there for my cat, they also go above and beyond sometimes sweeping the floor, taking packages to other units when they’ve been delivered to me by mistake, or helping when a locksmith had to drill my lock when the batteries to my key pad died and no one could get in to my condo to feed Boots. (Thank you Ben)! Needless to say, I highly recommend this business, you won’t be disappointed! Angela
We’ve been clients with CTH since early 2023. I can’t recommend their services enough. I travel for work and my partner has to work long hours at the hospital so we knew we needed a reliable and trustworthy dog walking team. I couldn’t have asked for a better find with Close To Home. My dogs adore all of the walkers and we always look forward to receiving the cute and funny updates/photos of their time with the pups. Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies. We appreciate you all.
I had to leave for a long trip, and they were so awesome in making sure my cats and house were taken care of! I definitely recommend using them if you want some peace of mind and detailed care visits :)
We've been using Close to Home for a few years now and only have great things to say about all of the caretakers! They take such wonderful care of our cat (including giving him medication) and send a full daily report including many photos. We can rest easy when we're away because we know our cat is in excellent hands!
We have used Close to Home for our cats for nearly three years now. They are incredibly responsive, easy to schedule and quick to answer any questions we have. My favorite part is the detailed reports we get daily while we are away- along with all the pictures. It makes being away easier knowing our cats are in good hands. Special shout outs to Ben and Brooklyn who most commonly are the ones who take care of our cats.
Close to Home is amazing. They’ve been taking care of my 15 yo cat when I travel for the past 3 years. Usually Ben is our sitter, and he is amazing with my very temperamental, arthritic and all around diva cat, Phyllis. Everyone who has taken care of my cat at CTH is wonderful. I appreciate and look forward to the detailed daily report card they provide, including many pictures of the fur baby. I can’t recommend CTH enough, and feel so lucky to have found a sitting service providing so much care and love to my pet.
We've been using Close to Home for over a year and have only wonderful things to say about the company. Communication is great, the dog walkers are the nicest and send the sweetest updates, and the owner/team has been incredibly flexible/understanding with helping care for our dog since he was a puppy. They even accommodated walks at a different location during a home renovation. They are the best!
We have been using Close to Home Pet Services for dog walking for our two large dogs for about 1.5 years and have been continually impressed with the dog walkers, including the owner Drew, and especially with the communication from both Drew and from the other dog walkers. One of our dogs is reactive, and every single dog walker has worked with her to curb her reactivity, and we have even noticed differences when we walk her now. Our dogs genuinely look forward to walks with Drew and the team.
I've been using Close to Home for a few years and they are so easy to work with, easy scheduling and communicating online, and wonderful visit updates with lots of pictures. I have two cats, one of which is pretty shy - the staff is absolutely superb and they take such good care of them! I can't recommend them enough!
We have been using Run Spot Run since 2012. We formerly had two dogs (a Bichon and a Mini Aussie) who both loved Susan and her facility. Now we have a Maltipoo, Lily, who loves to go there to play. She has no clue she's in daycare...it's just a play day. Susan has also rescued us on several occasions when we had family medical emergencies and called for her assistance, which she provided without hesitation. Susan has become a friend and we highly value the service she provides to our family. Sometimes we just need a helping hand with Lily, and she is there to offer it. Thank you, Susan!
I can't say enough good things about Susan, the owner of Run Spot Run. We have a miniature dachshund (who also happens to be called Susan!) and she LOVES going over to play with her friends at Susan's place. This is the perfect setup for us because Susan is an amazing caretaker who cares for our pup just like we would, and also because our pup enjoys smaller crowds than typically found at a doggie daycare so she really gets into great play habits and loves coming back again and again. We'll be lifetime customers as long as Susan will have us :)
Susan is the best! She is truly the most loving dog sitter i've met! She truly enjoys everything about dogs! We love that we can always rely on her and feel so comfortable sending our pup to her house. She is always so nice and wonderful with being flexible if we are in a pinch or need to extend the stay! I would highly recommend her!
Susan has welcomed our family dog Lily into her home for many years. I appreciate that Susan determines the temperament of each dog before she accepts them as part of the pack. I never worry that Lily is getting bullied by another dog. Susan goes above and beyond to provide a safe, clean, fun "home away from home," a place Lily loves!
Susan is a phenomenal dog walker and has come to the rescue of my partner and I on numerous occasions. She was so sweet and loyal to our pup that when it was time to put him down she even came to say goodbye. It was a true testament to how she cares about all pets. Our dog was not just another client needing a walk - she truly cared about him like he was her own. Wonderful lady, wonderful business she has.
We love bringing out two pups to Susan every chance we get. Susan is very professional and caring with our dogs. She caters to their every need and has an exceptional setup for our little pups with a great, fenced-in yard and plenty of toys inside and out. Do not hesitate to bring your furry loved ones to Susan!
After searching for the best fit for our dameranian, we chose Run Spot Run. Susan is very personable and knowledgable about each dogs needs, and treats our dog like her own. Service costs are very reasonable. Her dogs are compatible with our dog and they enjoy playing together. We live in a condo, so bringing our dog to Susan's is a real treat, as our dog is able to run freely within a large fenced area. We highly recommend her business.
Run Spot Run's owner Susan is the most kind and caring pet sitter you can possibly imagine! When you leave your pup you KNOW that they will be attended to in such a way that you are completely confident that she is taking care of your "family" with nothing but love and respect. I cannot recommend her highly enough!! My little Phil comes home happy and content.
I love knowing that Susan will be looking after my cat when I am away. She is incredibly reliable and responsive and genuinely cares about your pet. She is a very kind person and always follows the instructions I leave for her. I highly recommend her!
Her website list dogs under 20lbs are accepted, my initial email stated that my dog is 18lbs and she replied that he was too big. Please adjust the information on your website to align with your policies.
For years, Aunty Min's has been providing reliable, compassionate, good care for my sweet pup. They go the extra mile, sending photos and updates about the quality of walks and pets. I highly recommend Aunty Min's for whatever per care you nees.
I only review when I am obsessed with a business and Aunty Min’s is one of those for me. Janet has taken beautiful care of our cats over the last year when we have been out of town. She is communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cares for our Gizmo and Gilly like they’re her own. I can always tell that our cats have been well loved and well fed and well snuggled when I get home from a trip. Having peace of mind during a vacation is priceless to me!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience here!
We used Linn to watch our two cats while we away, and she did an amazing job. It was so nice to get to have them stay at home versus being separated for boarding. She administered medicine for one of our cats, tended to the litter box, made sure they got water/food, and played with them! Tremendous value for the price. She even got our mail for us. Would highly recommend!
The business owner is wonderful with pets. If you need to travel away from your feline fur babies for a short time, you can safely leave them in their comfortable home environment and Linn will come visit and feed them so they don't have to stay in a kennel. This service is super valuable to us.
This is the best place for day care and boarding! Linn is flexible to changing schedules, and quick to respond. She monitors the group closely, and makes sure all the dogs get along. Her yard is great for the dogs to run around, and the indoor space is great to keep them dry in the winter. I really like that when our dog boards here, that he is not in a kennel, and treated like family. Couldn't ask for a better place to send our dog to!
Linn is amazing!! She was a life saver! My husband and I have to travel a lot for work, and a lot of the travel is last minute. We gave Linn a set of our house keys, and we were able to call at the last minute and ask her to cat sit for us. When I travelled, I never worried about my little cats, I knew they were in good hands. I like Linn because she is a professional, she is licensed, and knows pet CPR! My cats are very shy, and don't always like strangers, but they loved Linn! I really felt that Linn genuinely cared for my cats. It was also nice to get pictures of my cats while I was on the road. I only wish that we still lived in Tacoma! **UPDATED: My husband and I had to travel for 3 weeks in a row. We didn't know what we should do with our cats. We don't live in Tacoma any more, and we didn't want to try a new cat sitter for that long. So Linn offered to board our cats! I can enjoy my vacation knowing that my cats are being looked after and cared for at Linn's place!
Linn is amazing with our dogs and has been extremely welcoming every time. She's also very accommodating with our needs. We moved further away but will continue to use her.
We take our two germans shepherds to Personal Pet Concierge and have loved them. We love that we get several updates from Linn several times while we are away, and we know that our dogs are being cared for throughout the day, not just left alone in a crate. We love that the dogs are not being kenneled and are in a home environment and aren't surrounded by a large number of other animals during their stay. Carter P.
We have taken our Mini Aussie Roo to stay with Pet Concierge a couple of times and she LOVES it. Lynn takes great care of her for a reasonable price as well. I appreciate that she sends updates with pictures of how Roo was doing while we were out of town which helped us relax knowing she was in great care. Roo always has a comfortable stay with dog beds, room to run and enjoys playing with the other animals that are staying with Lynn. Lynn even went the extra mile and bought us another bag of dog food when we ran out on the last day. Saved us a trip to the store on the way home when we picked up Roo. Highly recommend them for pet sitting.
Personal & Pet Concierge takes awesome care of my kitties. Even my shy - special needs kitty gets the care she needs. I get regular updates and I have peace of mind while I travel for work or fun. Linn and her team take awesome care of my fur babies! Thank you Linn and team!!
I love Personal and Pet Concierge. Linn and her team make traveling for work easy and stress free. I never worry about my cat anymore because I know he's in really good hands. While their services are 100% great, I want to highlight a couple areas in which I think P&PC excel. The first is communication. This is an important area for me (I'm a writing teacher) and I find that many petsitting agencies and individuals struggle to maintain adequate communication before an after my travels. P&PC have been wonderful communicators. They reply quickly to my efforts to schedule care for my pet. They send me updates (including images) while I'm away. And they are always clear about billing, visit schedules, etc. I couldn't ask for more. The second area is care. In the past, when I would return from a long trip my cat would be all out of sorts from a lack of TLC. Since I've been working with P&PC, he seems to barely notice that I've been away. This is because they visit him often and they treat him like he matters (like he's their own pet). It's not just about keeping food in his bowl. In sum, I can't recommend these folks any higher. I don't think you'll find better pet care in the area.
AMAZING! Our rescue Border Collie, Quinn, had always been a little apprehensive around other dogs, especially males. He spent a week with Linn & Mark and their bevy of guests. Quinn had the time of his life! He was exhausted and content when he got home. It has now been several months since his stay, and we continue to see the positive after-effects of his visit. He remains confident and more social. As a matter of fact, we had a true test shopping at the hardware store yesterday. Quinn was relaxed and social with a male dog, even sharing a treat! Thanks, Linn & Mark! Quinn loves you guys, too!
Sirius Pet Care is a great, independently-owned dog-walking and boarding company. They also do cat sits at your own home. From what I have seen, they are a lot more personal and loving to their clients' pets than a lot of the other companies tend to be. What's more is they are priced very competitively. If you are looking for someone to take your dog to the park on a regular or semi-regular basis and/or you need boarding for your dog while you are out of town, or you need someone to take care of your cat while you are away, I would SERIOUSLY recommend SIRIUS Pet Care. I mean, the name alone is brilliant... (The Dog Star is called Sirius, right...? Brilliant.)
Brittany is wonderful! She is a great communicator which helps a ton. All of our animals loved her instantly, even the 20 pound kitty. Our pup does the weekly field trips and LOVES them. We know where they are going ahead of time, and always see photos of her in action- happy as can be. Our pup cannot wait for Brittany to come for her weekly field trips. We also have an escape artist kitty, and that hasn't been a problem, which is a huge relief. Sit'N Stay has been a great asset for our (furry) family.
Brittany is extraordinary at what she does. I can't praise her enough and highly recommend her to you. Because of a fall outside my building that took me away from home for 7 weeks, I engaged with Brittany under emergency circumstances. She felt the need to be there for me and my precious kitty and did not hesitate to start seeing him right away. She had great compassion for his emotional needs and provided many strategies to help him stay calm and have fun. Every time she saw him, I received a report card from her along with a photo of my Cheeto. She shopped for everything he needed since I was unable to do that. I had absolutely 0 worries because of her high level of responsible care of my much loved companion. Do not hesitate to contact Brittany for your pet care needs.💜💜💜
Our dogs love Brittany! As a former Vet Tech and true dog-lover, she takes incredible care of both of our pets, minding their individual needs including caring for our old, diabetic guy. Brittany is reliable, professional, available, consistent and trusted. She is super communicative with updates and pictures and we feel very lucky to have found her!
My animals love Brittany & the Lab waits for her at the front window. She has so much compassion, care & love for my furry babies & will “Always” go above & beyond. I completely trust Brittany & “Highly” recommend her services.
Once again, Brittany saved me! Or, my dog actually. Brittany is a good friend of mine, and when I have a dog issue, she gets a crazy and panicked message from me. One of my dogs has had an issue for a few days and I sent Brittany pics and a description. She told me what to do, and what she thought it was. She also told me it was time to get her to the vet. Brittany was spot on. She believed it was a GI irritation and told me Coco needed a probiotic, a specific bland diet, and that the vet would likely prescribe a certain antibiotic. The vet basically said, word for word, everything Brittany said, down to the exact antibiotic. I live in a different state, but if I were near Burien, I wouldn't hesitate to have Brittany care for my dogs. Not only will she love them like her own, she's incredible during an animal emergency and knows just what to do, even long distance :)
Brittany and Barry give full attention to caring for your furry friend while you're away. Updates are sent to you, including pictures, via a secure portal. Highly recommended service.
Brittany is the best! I do not know what I would do without her and I am so thankful our paths have crossed!
We cant say enough great things about these ladies. Our 3 babies love their aunties and their aunties love them back. Here is to more great times and fun in 2020!🥰💞
Pj took care of my baby Mia while traveling Atlanta-Seattle-Honolulu. She was great and communicative and on schedule! I’m very thankful! I highly recommend
My pup had a layover at SeaTac so we booked boarding though PJs. I was a little nervous at first because this was the first time I have had an animal flying plus we would be flying at the same time as her. I was really reassured when the airline said they work with PJs all the time. We then also had the airline try to contact us while we were in the air, which was terrifying, PJ was able to talk to the airline for us to help figure out what was going on. This was so amazing! PJ was quick at replying to emails, picked up the phone when we called, and replied to texts when we had an emergency during our flight. Would definitely book through PJs again! The one thing PJs can improve is their website I found it different to navigate on mobile. You need to change your browser to 'desktop mode' to be able to access the drop down menu and find the content info.
Due to the heat Embargo, going from North Carolina to Hawaii. We had a hard time rerouting our pets to an airline that could fly them. We ended up having to go from North Carolina to Seattle, but it had a six hour layover. They gave us three options for a kennel service that could feed water and let them potty And PJs pet ranch was absolutely amazing. I know my pets were terrified in general, but she did an amazing job. We were so worried and so tired, lol but she was beyond amazing. One less thing to stress over. Beyond recommend
I take my dog here for boarding regularly now. I haven't needed to use the airport services but it seems that is what PJ's is best known for. My dog is happy and well cared for when I pick her up. The price of services is hard to beat.
I used their services for my puppies layover in SEATAC. PJ was awesome and so communicative throughout the process. She even sent pictures of the pup! She was on time for pickup, despite me sending her a later time, and drop off. Our dog arrived home safe and sound. Thank you PJ! I would absolutely kennel with them in the future!
This has got to be one of the best kenneling/transport/etc service I have ever had the pleasure of working with for my dog! I had a few issues with flights, and PJ's was more than accommodating and able to adjust the dates and times to ensure my dog was at the airport before his new flight. I am incredibly grateful for all their help because I had peace of mind the entire time my dog was on his layover. I especially appreciate how adaptable they were. I would highly recommend them for all your pet kenneling needs!
Took care of our dogs during their layover at SEA-TAC. Picked them up from the airport, notified us, sent pictures, fed/watered/cared for them, then got them back to the airport at their check in time early the next morning. Definitely gave us some much needed comfort and peace about our dogs first flights. Thank you all so much for looking after our fur family.
We had our dog stay here for 5 days and he seemed very well taken care of! Each dog gets its own area which put our minds at ease because our dog isn’t used to other dogs and we didn’t feel very comfortable with other kennels or dog hotels that keep them all together. It is very reasonably priced, we will definitely be using PJs pet ranch again.
THE BEST!! Pj communicates very well keeps me updated on my fur baby very respectful, communicative! definitely will recommend 10 out of 10!
They were great! I put my phone number on my kittys crate so I could get pictures throughout her travels because I was worried about her and pjs texted me as soon as they got the call to pick her up, once they picked her up, and even sent me a video of her once they got her to her “hotel” for the night. I really appreciated them being so sweet and caring and understanding that we worry for our animals when they are not in our care. 10/10 would reccomend. Thank you guys so much!❤️
