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.

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.
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
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.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his 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 him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was 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 Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes 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 within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. 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. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
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!
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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, 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!
Tara is amazing!! She takes great care of my two pups! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!! I drop them off and leave stress free knowing they are perfectly cared for!! P.s. my dogs get excited when we turn onto her road! They know where they are going! 😁😁 …
I couldn't have found a better boarding place for my Jacky...last minute on my part could've been a big problem. Wedding at Mountain top...last minute boosters which I would've blown had I not been informed...thanks again for that. Jacky can be nippy , with strangers...assertive that he's actually the big dog in the room though only 15 lbs. When I returned to pick him up....he was playing with others and loving his caretaker. You be hard pressed to find better . Thanks again...Doggy daycare school comes to mind.
We feel so comfortable leaving our dog with Tara at the Boarding Spot! We enjoy seeing posts on facebook of him playing or relaxing with the other dogs, and Tara gives us updates as to how he's doing. He's an older dog, and it's very reassuring to us to know he's happy and well-cared for.
Tara has been taking care of my dogs when I go on vacation for several years. My dogs love it there.They start whining when I pull in her driveway and can’t wait to get out of the car! Tara is so good with them. She gives them lots of love and attention and makes sure their needs are more than met. They are often tired out when they get home! I highly recommend The Boarding Spot to anyone looking for dog boarding.
My pups stayed at the Boarding Spot a couple weeks ago. Tara did a pre stay meet & greet for us as 1 dog has Addison’s Disease. Tara put me st ease asking appropriate questions and both my dogs loved her. Tara sent me daily pics of them and an update. They looked very happy. They came home happy and tired. Would definitely contact for another stay! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've used other boarders in the past, but this place is by far the best with the unique home based care where she gets to play with other dogs. My dog is the white dog with beige stripes. She seems to be loving it there so much I don't even think she misses me. Also,the owner Tara will bend over backwards for you and,blind a Saint, actually picked up. my dog for me when I was unexpectedly hospitalized and couldn't drop my dog off for boarding. I don't think I'd ever board my dog anywhere else again.
The Boarding Spot took great care of my pup while I was out of town for a few days! It’s great to have a small place that really gets to know your dog. He came back happy and healthy, will definitely be booking with them again!
It is difficult to find a place to board Woody since he doesn't adjust to new situations; however, he feels right at home with Tara and The Boarding Spot. It is a great fit!
We just found The Boarding Spot as a convenient place to board our three dogs as we handled moving to the Rutland area, and Tara turned out to be quite the lucky find. She was great with our pups, and they have such a good time there. It's good to know we don't have to worry about what to do with them if/when we go out of town in the future.
Great place to board your pets. Tara genuinely cares about your animals and is passionate about her work. Provides an excellent environment . Treats your pet as if it was her own making it a wonderful experience for them and their owner.
My dogs think Wundrland is the happiest place on earth. To human eyes it looks like any old kennel, but to Bubba and Trixie it may as well be Disneyland. When I turn onto the drive both dogs start whining and wiggling with happiness (even Bubba, who is normally pretty stoic). By the time I park the car they can barely contain their enthusiasm. I use Wundrland for boarding and doggie daycare and recommend them all the time.
I go out of state for work 2x per month for 2 days at a time & don’t have family in the area who can watch my dog, so I bring my puppy here when I go. She loves it, her tail is always wagging when we arrive & she hears the other dogs, & doesn’t seem super interested in leaving when I pick her up. Staff seems very nice & caring to the dogs. Definitely recommend this place.
Jojo loves going to camp. Everyone seems to be so nice to her and dropping her off, she doesn’t even look back before running in. She’s a difficult dog, and we appreciate having a place so close by and accessible for any occasion when she needs to get a way for a day or two. Thank you Wundrland! ❤️
TLDR: Dirty, disorganized, poor customer service, possibly neglectful. I took my 6 month old puppy here for her first doggy daycare experience, as we live in an isolated area and she needs socialization. I explained this both on the phone and at drop-off, also noting that she starts off fearful, then warms quickly to other dogs. I was a little bit worried when I dropped her off, because frankly, the facilities were a mess--stinky, visibly dirty (even in the office), and piled with disorganized clutter. The staff I interacted with seemed to be teenagers with no customer service training. When I picked up my dog at the end of the day and asked how she did with playtime, they told me she seemed fearful and so they just kept her in the kennel all day--no playtime, which was what I told them I was paying for. The pickup was disorganized and my dog came out visibly distressed, shaking, with her tail all chewed up. I asked about it, and they said her tail was probably just wet from spraying down the kennel. Spraying down the kennel? With her inside of it? Or, did they put her alone in a wet concrete room in January? Either way, not okay. She never barks at people (only other dogs), but was incessantly barking at one of the attendants, who repeatedly told her to "just stop it". As I paid (?!) and hurried her out to the car to calm down, they forgot to give me back her food, scoop, and medical paperwork. I remembered the food and went back inside for it. All night she was anxious, pooping and peeing 3x as much as normal, and trying to chew her tail (not something she usually does). She stank like urine, feces, and chemicals. Three days later (this morning), they called to tell me to come get her paperwork. I am angry. I have been unable to find any contact information for a REAL ADULT behind this business that doesn't route me to the untrained, very young person at the front desk. If the owner/manager is reading this, I would like a call, and I would like a refund, and you can expect more of these reviews on other platforms. Take a look at Yelp and the BBB page and you will find other reviews reflective of the experience I had. A local business owner who is active in animal rescues implored me to leave this review and pursue the matter further, so here we are. Do not trust this business with your dogs.
if i could leave no stars i would. dogs locked up in kennels lunging and barking at eachother scared my puppy and staff is rude.
Great place for my puppies! They are able to socialize with other dogs and the employees are top notch!!!!!A++++++ The best thing is that they are so tired when they come home from playing.
Took care of our pup when we had to go to a wedding. Good people thanks so much
The owners and vets in training love the dogs and deal with all their energy. Kare dogs love pool and having a shampoo. KC
Very accommodating! I boarded my dog here on the recommendations of several others. Staff was great; answered questions and took great care of my pup. Have boarded there twice and will be back.
My dog has a wonderful time there and is always so tuckered out when we pick her up and she gives us so many snuggles! Love this place!
