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.

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!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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 $ per visit, $19/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 had Emily do 2 nights at her place w/ all 3 of my pups, for me to leave town to attend my son's wedding. It was very important to me to have them in a home setting. I visited 3 other pet sitting options and none were a setting that would be best for my pets. This was my first time leaving all 3 for 2 days. Emily did a great job caring for them and they were so happy to go for a ride w/ her - I used the pick up and drop off service, which was super helpful to me. She was great w/ communication and my pups were very well cared for. I look forward to having her other services as well and will for sure be hiring her again. Thank you so much!
Emily is the absolute best dog sitter. She is the only dog sitter that I feel completely comfortable leaving my boys with. Not only does she take care of their basic daily needs, but she also makes sure to actually spend time with them. She is NOT one of those dog sitters that just lets them out and then leaves again. She takes care of their needs and spends time with them. She constantly updates me throughout my time away. She will always be my first choice when I have to go out of town or be away for a day. I can finally enjoy my trips and not have to worry about my dogs at all!
I can’t say enough about Emily and the love and care she shows my babies. I have had goldens that lived long and happy lives till the age of 16. I never once boarded them. I since got a new baby after such a long time and she is the only person I have ever felt comfortable to leave my babies with. She treats and loves my animals like I do. My animals love Emily so much it is an easy and stress free decision to leave them in her care no matter if it’s dog walks, boarding, or just play dates she supervises. We all think that no one will take as good of care as we do with our animals, Emily is an exception to that rule. The fact she is so educated and accomplished in her field, and is able to give medication and help special needs animals is a huge plus. She is truly a one of a kind person! Thank you Emily. We love you! Remi and Roco love you! Congrats on the new page!
Emily did amazing! My 2 dogs were very happy when I got them from 5 days of Emily keeping them ! She really loves animals and took extremely good care of my sweet dogs! She also kept us updated on everything the entire time she had them ! We loved seeing pics of our dogs. I would give her 5 stars!!
Emily has been wonderful with our dogs! She is very helpful and professional and loves the dogs as much as we do! We have one pup that requires special food and medicine and she has no problems taking care of him and keeping him feeling well! (Which is not easy)We are very happy to have Emily to take care of our pups when we need the help!
We had a wonderful experience with Emily Says Sit! We got daily pictures of all the treats and fun our dog, chicken, and gecko were having! It was so nice to know everyone was happy at home while we were on vacation! Can’t wait to use their service again! Thank you!
Emily and her partner are just who my husband and I were looking for to keep our pups (aka our children). They are amazing!! We boarded with them, and Emily assured me that somebody was always home with the dogs and always let me know when the dogs would be alone for any period of time (which was not necessary but still very much appreciated). She always kept me posted on how the pups were doing, sent pics, and always so responsive! For the first time, I was able to enjoy my trips without worrying about my babies back at home! Highly recommend.
Emily is absolutely amazing at what she does. We are very fortunate to have her in our lives. Our two dogs love her so much that their ears perk up whenever we say her name and they know they will be visiting her. We have been with Emily for a few years now and we always feel safe and secure when she has our dogs. And I know without a doubt they love her to death as well. She is very good with sending pics and updates of their day and even when our dogs may need extra attention or take a medication, she is very good at making sure they are well taken care of. Emily feels like family to us and we are incredibly lucky. She is the best sitter ever.
Emily has been such a great find for us! We moved to the area recently and needed to find someone to take care of our beloved dog, Boomer, when we are away during a busy few months we’ve had. He has a lot of energy and requires a lot of attention, but she has been nothing but great with him - she’s responsive, friendly, responsible, and treats your pet like her own. I highly recommend Emily’s services!
Emily has taken care of my animals for over five years now. She is professional and knowledgeable about pet care and will take the time to know and love your pet like they are her own. I have utilized her boarding, drop in, and house sitting services in addition to regular walks and would recommend them all.
Absolutely 5 star service all the time!!! Furkid Sitting takes excellent care of my 3 cats. I have trusted Amy’s services for many years now and any time I go out of town, I am ALWAYS comforted knowing that my kitties and my home are being expertly looked after. My Persians require a little extra TLC and I know they are getting plenty of attention since I get daily updates and photos while I’m away. Amy and her staff truly love their animal clients and I recommend her services to everyone I know!!!! - Angie B
It’s so hard to leave a pet but once I am on my way I know Tux will be treated like a king. He and Lori have a great time together and I love the pictures she sends and updates on how he is doing. Furkids is so wonderful. Amy is on top of things at all times. Thank you for taking such great care of Tuxie.
I don’t remember how I discovered Amy and Furkids but I’m so glad that I did. My Stella and I have been so grateful that Amy and Shana have always been there for us. Be it a planned visit or a last minute emergency they have never turned us down. When I was unable to take Stella out for her walks give her meds or just a little love Shana was the only person she responded to. We are eternally appreciative for the loving care Furkids has given us. Thank you Amy and Shana.
What am I NEVER when Furkid sits – stressed! Lori and Shana are phenomenal with my babies. They’re on time, patient with my three hyper-bouncing fur babies, follow all feeding and med instructions, and give extra-extra love and hugs to my babies. The sitters do not rush their visits, and they take the time to ensure they’ve handled everything before leaving. I never stress when I travel, knowing Furkid is at my house taking care of things. I highly recommend Amy and her team. Top notch. 1 million stars!
We love Furkid Sitting & Services! Amy and her crew are the best when it comes to caring for our pets. Our dogs and cats receive wonderful attention and special care from Furkid Sitting & Services.
We have been using Fur Kids for several years to care for our three dogs and we are so happy with the service. It’s wonderful to travel knowing that our babies and home are in good hands. We highly recommend Fur Kids.
I have used Furkid’s numerous times and love them. The workers are excellent and they take extra good care of my cats while I’m traveling domestic and internationally. Scheduling is easy and convenient. Their prices are good and fair. They are great!
Whenever we travel, I know that our 2 kitties are in excellent care with Furkid Sitting. With each visit, we get an update as well as pictures. Amy and Shana are always very responsive to any questions or concerns that we may have. We know the cats are getting lots of love and attention when we are away because they are not as clingy as they have been in the past when we return back home. When I was looking for a new petsitter in early 2019, I was impressed with their credentials: an accredited business of the BBB, board member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS) and volunteer with Cat Haven here in Baton Rouge (where we got our 2 kitties). I highly recommend Furkid Sitting and am thankful I found them.
I am so happy I found Amy & Furkid Sitting! After our first meet & greet, I could immediately tell Amy would be a great fit with my cats. While we were away, she was able to send daily updates and pictures which were very appreciated! Every interaction has been exceptionally professional, and I know my cats were in very capable and loving hands while we were away.
Amy is very professional and kind and loving with our pets. We have 5 fur-babies including 2 very needy dogs with separation anxiety. Amy quelled their fears with lots of love and patience. She sends pet journals complete with photos and reports for each visit. I highly recommend FurKid Sitting‼️
Terry & Terri does a fantastic job. I have never boarded my 12 year old dog. We had a nice meet and greet to see how she would do with her own pets and the surrendering area. We made a quick 3 day trip. Terry sent us pictures and updates on how she was doing. We used them a month later for a week. No problems. We have her book to go again in Nov. Terry has helped me a few times booking on line, when I had messed up. He is very nice and explains to you what you need to do. Terri, when you come to pickup she will give you an overall account of the stay. Both are great and I would highly recommend them. The pricing is very reasonable.
Always Home Pet Sitting is a favorite of ours- my husband and I AND our two small dogs! They are reliable, professional, experienced, friendly and love what they do! We usually get them to pet sit in our home when we travel and it’s convenient and wonderful having someone here when we are gone. Our puppies sleep with us on our king-sized bed and Terry sleeps with them when he’s here! They LOVE both Terry & Terri. We let the puppies stay over with them due to a scheduling conflict and the puppies had a BLAST! We highly recommend Always Home Pet Sitting!!! They have actually become friends because of the relationship we’ve built over the years.
I was a little bit nervous because my dog is very anxious because she was a rescue dog, but they gave me updates and pictures of her throughout her day which made me feel at ease. My husband said that when he went to get her, she didn’t want to leave! lol I definitely will use them again and would recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter!
If you want peace of mind that your pets are taken care of while you are away, I recommend Terry & Terri. They are reliable, always take great care of my cats and fish, and they send pictures and updates so I know my pets have been well taken care of. Their app makes scheduling and maintaining chat history and pet care notes super easy. Also, they're even kind enough to bring in packages and such if needed. This is really appreciated especially when I'm away for a long stretch. I really recommend them!
My buddy Oreo spent 5 days. What a great place. Got photos every day knowing my pup was in good hands. I was worried that he might have a problem with other dogs but Terry said it only took a hour or so. Amazing!!! I’m so happy I found this place. Sometimes you just get lucky. The price is very reasonable for the care given. As long as there in business it will be my place to take Oreo.
Absolutely loved the experience. Very accommodating with my last minute plans. Immediately felt very welcoming and at home for my two fur babies. I will definitely use ‘Always Home Pet Sitting ‘ again. Bella and Bourbon were very well taken care of with Terri and her team. I highly recommend the services here.
Terry and Terri are the best! When I moved to Mobile a year ago, I was looking for someone to keep my 7lb Yorkie. I left him at one place that was terrible. His little paws were raw. Then I found Always Home Pet service. Oh my goodness, what a difference!! My Dexter loves going there, almost like home for him. In the year that Dexter has been going, sometimes weeks at a time, he was well taken care of. Terry and Terri always treat him as one of theirs. Please give them a try. You will not be sorry!
Terry and Terri do a great job looking after my dog(s), one of which is a handful and doesn't like to go to a traditional kennel. It gives great peace of mind when you're out of town to know your pets are in good hands. Highly recommended.
Always Home Pet Sitting and Dog Walking is a great service. They take care of my pets and another family member's pets. They are on time, they send pictures, and I trust them in my house! I truely trust Terri and Terry with taking care of my "children". I highly recommend this service. Terri and Terry are the best!
Always Home Pet Sitting has been such a gift to our family!!! Our dog is a rescue and does not do well being boarded anywhere that is similar to a shelter, so finding Terri and Terry to take care of our Maisy at their home has been amazing. Maisy loves playing with the other dogs and being able to snuggle on the couch! We never have to worry about her when we leave town because we know she is being very well taken care of. I cannot recommend them enough!
