Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
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!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
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"!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
We knew that we would have a good experience with Carole & Ron from the moment we first had a video chat with them. They are very experienced house sitters and it showed in the questions they asked about our cats and our home. We were so fascinated by them that we invited them to arrive a day early so that we could all go out for lunch and then dinner to hear about their travel stories and share a few of our own. When we left, we felt very confident in our choice and took off on our trip with confidence that our dear kitties would be well cared for. We were not disappointed as Carole & Ron sent us photos and an update the very next day to let us know that all was well. During the next two weeks, we never had a moment of concern and fully enjoyed our vacation knowing that these seasoned sitters were both looking after our place and also enjoying themselves exploring our wonderful city of Philadelphia. We came home to two very happy cats, a clean house, and even a full bowl of fresh fruit on our kitchen counter. We would absolutely have Carole & Ron sit for us again and we wish them the very best of fun and exploration in their future adventures!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
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!
The service here is a step above the rest! A friendly staff that wants to make sure your animal stay is great. The facility is nice, well kept, and smells good to be keeping pets on a daily basis. I'll recommend Ms. Kelly and her staff every day of the week! Keep up the good work here! And thank you for making our fur baby's 2 night stay wonderful!
Hope and everyone at Ivy League took such good care of my lab, Willow, while I was out of town! They truly care for your pets like they are one of their own! My girl stayed with them for a couple of days. She was there for the 4th of July, and they made sure to celebrate with her by dressing her up in some patriotic gear, and she even came home with some artwork that she made 🥹🤍 I could not recommend this place enough!!! Your dogs will love it ! 🐾
Love, love, love this facility! Can't say enough good things about it! Our 2 pups had a three night stay and they were so well taken care of. They had the best time!
The sweetest person i know! She always addressed my dog by name she never forgot it! remembered details i told her, and was so sweet and friendly! Such an amazing place! Great pricing! ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! thank youuuu!!!
Took very good care of my dog Jake. It was his first time staying here and he was very happy to stay. Came home with a bath and nails clipped. Prices are good and very reasonable.
The owner is so kind and has a way with the communities pets as if its a animal whispering gift. Also when she needs repairs or other building maintenance work, she makes sure to hire within the community in order to support other small businesses within the community.
This was the first time she cut Abby's hair. She did a great job. If I need an overnight sitter I will try them .
The best!!! My fur baby looks so good. Thank you so much for squeezing her in while I was in town visiting 🤍🤍 …
I Love, Love Hope and Crew at Ivy Leage Boarding. My Coooer, a Cocker Spaniel, stayed with Hope for a week while we vacationed. He was very well cared for and acted like he didn’t even miss us while we were away. Hope sent pictures of Cooper enjoying his visit and that makes a dog mom very happy. I’m so glad I chose Ivy League to leave my fur baby with. They took excellent care of him and I will definitely use them again.
10/10 highly recommend!!! Our pups were super happy and we have already booked another stay!!!
We have been using the Pauleys to watch our two labs for over three years now. They never disappoint. Knowing they are being cared for in every way allows us to travel with peace of mind. We are thrilled to have found these professional dog lovers so near by! And they are just really cool people too!
Kathy is amazing with our babies.2 dogs and 2 kitties. I highly recommend her.
Kathy has taken excellent care of Oliver, and he seems to enjoy his stays at their home.
