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 never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
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!
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.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
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!!
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
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.
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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 $30 per visit, 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 speak highly enough of the team at Urban Doggo! As a self proclaimed helicopter dog mum, my mind is always at ease knowing my groodle Callie is in good hands! Whether it be for a groom (of which is always brilliant) or daycare, she always has the best time and more often than not doesn’t want to leave! Thankyou so much team for loving my girl as much as I do 💕
Urban Doggo is the best Doggy Daycare far and wide!!! The team is so professional and super friendly, they take the time to listen to the clients needs and nothing is too much trouble when it comes to caring for your pooch. The team provide targeted enrichment and socialization in a controlled environment as well as going above and beyond in planning and Implementing activities with all of the dogs, all while meeting the individual needs of pups big and small, of all different ages. Urban Doggo pride themselves on their cleanliness and their protocols, ensuring high safety and infection control standards. Your furry friend will always come first and foremost. My labradoodle has been attending weekly for some time now… he shows how excited he is to attend and spend the day with the team and his friends he has made .. he is always so happy upon drop off and pick up. I cannot recommend Urban Doggo more highly. We are so super happy with the service they provide. Five star team and service!!! Thank you for all that you do.
Bailey has only had 2 visits to Urban Doggo but there will definitely be many more. He loves being able to go and play with all of his new friends and always comes home happy as ever. Jillian and her team have been very welcoming and know all the dogs by name and I love that Bailey gets greeted personally when we come in. I cannot recommend them highly enough - if the photo attached doesn't convince I don't know what will 😌
The Urban Doggo team are lovely and are always happy to accommodate our dog for daycare. We have recently had a groom and could not be happier.
I can’t recommend Urban Doggo enough. Jillian and the team go above and beyond and my little pup absolutely LOVES it. It is really controlled regarding numbers per day so it doesn’t get overcrowded for your dog. They offer puppy day care to begin with which is a fantastic idea and have specific days for larger / smaller dogs. They really care and you can see all of the dogs are so happy there on drop off & pickup. Highly recommend - thank you so much Urban Doggo team. From Julia & Ronnie
Our Ruby gives Urban Doggo 5 stars. Whether it is a full groom or day care, she has a happy experience.
Urban Doggo is the best decision you will ever make for your pet! Sending Sailor to daycare under the care of Jillian and her team, has made the whole process a breeze. Handing your beloved dog over to strangers is never an easy decision, unless it’s with the Urban Doggo team. Thank you for being the most professional, trustworthy, friendly, loving and sincere team. Nothing is too hard and your genuine love for the dogs just shines through! Sailor is so excited in the car when we pull up which is testament to the experience she has with your team! 🐶🥰
My experiences with Urban Doggo have been nothing short of amazing and wonderful! Our little puppy, Daisy, has been attending Urban Doggo since they opened last year. Daisy has also been cared for overnight by Jillian on a few occasions where it was necessary for me to be away from home. Daisy was an anxious little puppy when she began at Urban and was very attached to me. However, Jillian has been very attentive to Daisy and her needs, so as a result Daisy is more confident, and her anxiousness has subsided significantly. I can’t recommend Urban Doggo enough as a caring and loving environment for your doggie. Daisy is also groomed at Urban Doggo and always comes home looking beautiful. Thank you Jillian and staff for providing a safe place for our precious pets. Sue xxxx
I couldn’t recommend Urban Doggo more. They have helped my beautiful rescue pup to become so much more socialised with other dogs and they look after her so well. My dog goes three days a week to make sure she gets enrichment while I am at work and I feel so trusting that she will get all the love and attention she deserves while she’s at Urban Doggo. Truly the most lovely and fun team, very much recommend!
Jillian and the team have always looked after our bouncy german shorthaired pointer like he was their own. He has never had a hair out of place (unlike when he’s at our home or in our yard) & always comes home ready to rest for a few days. I have absolute confidence in Urban Doggo team in looking after our dog & having fun with him all at the same time… the biggest thank you for enjoying Wally & keeping him busy at times when we can’t!
Bella was absolutely fantastic caring for our two little pups / house sitting for the weekend. Bella provided lots up updates, pictures and videos. Couldn’t recommend her enough ☺️
Bella provided exceptional care for my baby over the weekend. She diligently followed all my requirements and ensured that Saber was entertained throughout the entire time. I appreciated the regular photo updates, and she truly went above and beyond in her care. I highly recommend her services; they are impeccable. Additionally, she left my house cleaner than it was when I left it! 5 Stars 🌟 Thank you once again! 🥰
Bella is absolutely amazing! She looked after my 3yo Border Collie Gracie for my partner and I while we went on a weekend away and our pup had an absolute ball! Bella’s communication was excellent throughout our trip and our house was immaculate when we returned! I would highly recommend Bella🫶🏼🤍 …
I went overseas for nearly 3 weeks and Bella stayed at my house caring for my 2 large dogs and 2 cats. She is an exceptional communicator, keeping me regularly updated as I requested, sharing pictures and videos of my fur kids while I was away. This was such a comfort to know they are happy and healthy and being loved by someone else in my absence! In addition Bella took great respect and care for my property, as it is always something I stress about but on my return Bella had the house looking spick and span, better than I left it! She is honestly the best and most trustworthy sitter I’ve ever had in 10 years of searching every year for the right person. I now plan my holidays around her availability! I can’t recommend Pacey Paws Pet Services enough, you won’t be disappointed 💖✨
Love Bella! She took our gorgeous girl on for pet sitting and she’s always her happiest on these days. Couldn’t recommend her more
Bella is extremely professional and has a special connection with the pups she looks after. Bella has a such a bubbly personality and is very trustworthy.
i could not recommend someone more!! absolutely amazing and such care and love for my fur children. will definitely be booking again 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 …
Highly recommend 🙌 …
Koolkatz has been walking my chocolate labrador, Charlie, 5 days per week for the last 18 months, since he was 10 weeks old. I have always found them to be honest, reliable and costs are very reasonable. Greg is gentle and kind with all my animals and has stayed over on occasion when I have been unavoidably detained. I trust him completely. I have no hesitation in recommending him for any walking, minding or house sitting jobs.
We had Greg come and walk/feed my bullmastiff and cat recently whilst we were on a short break. They both loved Greg on his meet beforehand and I felt so comfortable leaving them in his care. Needless to say we returned home to two happy pets! Highly recommend!
Can't rate this high enough! We have been using this dog-walking and pet-minding service since relocating to Newcastle 6 months ago, and would be lost without them! My girl adores her daily dog-walker, I wouldn't trust her with anyone else. Very friendly service and great value for money.
Lovely people and very reliable. They communicate well so we are in no doubt about the arrangements. We get a great picture of the "boys" as well!
Highly recommend Chris, who looked after my old cat and dog who are very fussy and demanding. Will definitely get her back again. 😊 …
Took my Cavoodle in for a groom and was very happy with the service and care taken. Booking was very straightforward with a simple phone call and text exchange. The groom itself was explained in detail on the day and followed up halfway through with an update. Highly recommend Noonies for grooming. Will use again in the future without hesitation.
So happy I have found Noonies !! Being a bit anxious about leaving my rambunctious Doggo who can be a handful - Carol definitely has a way with them !! He came home looking amazing and very relaxed - Definitely recommend and we will be regulars !! Thank you so much 🙌
We can’t thank Noonies Pet Care enough for taking great care of our beautiful Golden Retriever while he was being pampered. Carol went above and beyond for our boy, all while catering to his needs. He came home smelling and looking incredible! Thank you again Darrin and Carol, we are so grateful to have found your wonderful business.
Having had to move recently from Newcastle to Port Stephens with a dog I highly recommend Noonies Pet Care. I cant drive at the moment so didn't know how to get my Cavoodle transported as she is timid with strangers. After effortless booking through Noonies Pet Care, Darrin picked us up at our door and drove us safely to our destination. Although my dog was in a crate I was able to travel with her so she didn't fret, as well as some bags without fuss. Darrin was punctual, courteous, friendly and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him if you are needing to transport your pet
Carol is a wonderfully calm pet groomer. She gave great advice and checked the cut with me during the groom. I took Bowie, my 5 month cavoodle, for his first groom and he came home calm, happy, soft and fluffy. Darrin was great when I called to make the booking and explained everything so well. Thank you Carol and Darrin.
So glad I've found Carol at Noonies! My fur babies come home so happy, clean, relaxed and looking so good. They really enjoy being groomed and pampered. Best part is I can relaxed knowing they are being looked after by a caring professional. 😌 🐩 …
Fantastic 100% recommend so happy with my dogs grooming. My dog is timid and nervous and she came out so happy., helps that she is groomed by a trainer, she took time to settle my dog first ! Only 1 dog groomed at a time , great karma, now making this my regular and only grooming place.
I highly recommend Noonies excellent pet taxi service. I use it regularly and am consistently impressed with Darrin and Carol's professionalism, care and understanding of dogs. Please use Noonies to transport your beloved four-legged family members!
Out of all groomers I have tried for my Border Collie Noonie’s are the only groom as a Border should be done Great Groomer
We have left our small parrot (conure) with Noonies Pet Care a few times now (both for a weekend and over a month) and each time he has a great time and comes back happy. They take him out the cage, give him cuddles and let him wonder around the house too, watch TV etc -just like he does at home. What is great too is that you can pay extra for pick up and drop off service which is very helpful. He is in very capable hands and I would recommend Noonies to anyone. Thank you Darrin and Carol.
