Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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"!
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
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.
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!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
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 20$ per visit, $18/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 cannot express enough gratitude for Riverside Pet Lodge. Michelle provided exceptional care and love to our beloved dog, Athena, throughout her life. From the time she was a puppy until her passing, Athena always looked forward to her stays at Riverside Pet Lodge. Michelle’s dedication and compassion were evident in every aspect of the lodge's care. Athena adored the riverside walks that Michelle would take her on. Knowing that she was in such loving and capable hands gave us immense peace of mind whenever we were away. Riverside Pet Lodge is more than just a boarding facility; it’s a second home for pets, filled with love and care. I highly recommend it to any pet owner looking for a safe, nurturing, and joyous environment for their furry friends. Thank you, Michelle, for all the wonderful years you gave to Athena.
I only board my dogs when really necessary but I feel good taking them to Riverside Pet Lodge. Michelle takes great care of them and the place is very clean. The dogs have their own run outside and don't have to be with other dogs. My dogs are small so I feel they're safer that way.
The owner, Michelle, takes very good care of the pets that are boarded with her. The kennels are clean and Michelle is quick to respond to phone calls or texts. My dog is old and has some health issues. When I have to go out of town, I always know she is in good hands with Michelle.
We always use riverside pet lodge whenever we are in town and need somewhere to keep our pet for a little while. They always try to accommodate a good drop off or pick up time with us and they even offer a military discount. We will continue to book through them for the foreseeable future.
Awesome place for my dogs! Owner is friendly and down to earth. This place came highly recommended and I can see why. Also the owner will text with you if you want to message about your pet.
It was our 1st time taking our husky here, and the owner was great and made us feel comfortable and treated our little girl like she was her own. We will definitely be taking her back there when needed and will not feel any anxiety or have any concerns. Thanks for watching over our little girl.
The staff here is very friendly . I took my 11 year old golden retriever in my one year old Weimaraner here when I was vacationing in Oscoda. The kennel very clean and there were a lot of dogs there. When we picked up our dogs they washed their dog beds for us !! I would highly recommend this place.
Michelle runs a great facility. Reasonable prices and she really does treat your pet like her own.
Michelle takes great care and provides a safe setting for my dog. Very organized!
Michelle is great and takes very good care of the animals and facility. Perfect setting for your furry friend.
This is a great place. My dog was abused before I adopted her. Even with that going against her she still learned an incredible amount from these wonderful people. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Very fair and honest people. My dog loves it here!
Great owner! I bring my 10 yr old pitbull in to get her nails cut and he gets right down on the ground with her and does an awesome job!
Tim and Kathy always provide excellent care for our animals. The facilities are clean and our dogs actually like going there. Highly recommend.
Cathy does such a great job. My 2 girls come out looking and smelling so pretty
This place is awesome, been taking my baby there for 8 years. Treat your pets as their own.
Trained two of my uncle's gold retrievers and hopefully the third soon.
Tim was and is very helpful. He knows his business.
I liked that they worked well with my dog and took the time to show me.
Worked with us during a family emergency. Very kind people
My dogs love this place!
We discovered this store while we were up on vacation. Our dogs love moose antlers and they had the best selection that I’ve ever seen. We have continued to purchase our antlers from them, even though we live down state. We call and Ken selects them for us and then ships them to us. Such great customer service…. And, the dogs love them!
Went in to buy a few small treats for my little 9lb dog and when I went to cash out, the older gentleman running the store told me it was on the house! It was about $5 worth of small bones for my doggie. He said he hopes my pup enjoys the treats and she sure does! She’s chewing on one of her bones as we speak. What a random act of kindness that I promise did not go unnoticed! I would recommend purchasing your dogs treats through holistic pampered pets because the service is wonderful and the treats are yummy (that’s what my dog told me😃)
Great food, extremely friendly staff, especially Kathleen.
Quick service for a nail trip! The 2 people working were so sweet! Will be back!
This place is awesome! I spoke to Ken for a bit while there and he explained what the treats were for our dog and which ones would be best for her based on her size and age. I got a couple of things, but her favorite by far is the moose antler. Will be ordering again to keep her happy! Thanks for the outstanding customer service!
We had the hardest time finding a groomer in the area open on Saturdays. Nail trims are walk in and only took a few minutes, plus the staff was super nice.
I bought My Dog Bruno's 1st Birthday Ice cream Cake Cup He loved it and a New Sweater. Folks Seemed Nice here at this Store.
Amazing grooming of our dog, highly recommend.
The owner is friendly and there are multiple choices for dog treats and foods. I also got my dogs nails clipped very reasonably priced
I’m a Yorkie Breeder and I have to say the owner Ken is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with his products. Stop by and check out his wide selection of foods and dog and cat accessories.
