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.

Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
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!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
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!
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.
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are 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!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
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!
Kim is amazing! She absolutely loves animals and takes great care of them. She is super flexible and always willing to work around our schedules as much as possible. She goes out of her way to make for the best experience possible for her clients and their animals. Our dog has been going to Kim’s for about 7 months and loves it every time. She feels right at home in Kim’s house and is well cared for and loved. We can’t recommend Kim enough!
Kim is a trustworthy person. She loves taking care of dogs and when our family go on a vacation trip we all know that our pet Rico is in good hands with her. We highly recommend Kim!
Kim is amazing, she has gone above and beyond for us in caring for our two dogs. Our youngest had a UTI and bladder stones while we were away. Kim drove her to the vet and took care of her for us. She also sends updates, videos and pictures of our dogs.
I was fortunate to find Kim at Pet Pleasers in early 2020. I have a little Boston Terrier named Ariel that is always with me. When I had to leave for a location that I could not bring her, I considered cancelling my trip. Since Kim had gone to my school years ago and I knew who she was, I contacted her and had a few discussions over FB and eventually went to her house to check it out. She has such a dog friendly home. A safe fenced back yard, double gated front entrance and she treats the dogs just like her own. I was very impressed that she also wanted to have Ariel spend a few hours at her house to make sure she got along with everyone and that she wouldn’t pose problems for other dogs. That’s so important to me that she doesn’t simply accept any dog. She makes sure that she reduces the chance of problems that can occur due to animals that may be too aggressive or cause problems for other animals. She truly does everything she can to provide a safe and fun environment for every animal she cares for. I left Ariel for a few hours to see how she did and she did great, playing with other dogs and running around freely. After that I left her for a week and was pleasantly surprised to get the occasional picture and video from Kim showing me how Ariel was doing. Although I bring Ariel’s crate along, Ariel has free roam of the house and yard all day long and most of the time she jumps on Kim’s bed at night and sleeps on the bed…just as she does at home. I can’t say enough good things about Kim and Pet Pleasers. I no longer have to worry about Ariel being constantly locked in a cage, or deal with the scams that so many other kennels have where they want to charge you $5 for a daily hug, or $10 for 5 minutes of one-on-one time, etc. Kim is open and honest and provides a friendly, loving home-like environment for the dogs she cares for. Her pricing is very reasonable with no extra charges for paying attention to your dog. She clearly loves animals and you can be sure she will treat your dogs like her own. I will never go anywhere else and I’m so glad to have found Kim at Pet Pleasers. I may miss my dog when I have to go away but I know she’s in good hands and don’t have to worry about her. You can’t go wrong with Kim of Pet Pleasers and I believe that once you try her, you will never go anywhere else either.
Kim is amazing with our dog! We always love having Kim watch our Daisy because we know she will be able to run and play and not be stuck in a kennel all day. Communication is great and Kim is very easy to work with. Thanks Kim!
Our senior bichon, Louie gets stressed at traditional boarding kennels. Kim from Pet Pleasers treated him like part of the family. It is a relief to have someone so great with dogs taking care of him in a home setting. Will continue to book here and recommend!
Pet Pleasers is truly like sleepover camp for our doggo! Kim’s care and consideration for the animals in her care is evident from the happy barks that greet you upon arrival. There is plenty of safe space for them to roam and play, and when it’s time for rest, they have their choice of several warm and comfortable beds. We’ve never boarded our dog before we met Kim, and it’s a relief to find someone who loves him as much as we do. Pet Pleasers for the win!
Kim has been great with my great dane Jaxi! She can be a nervous Nellie and Kim understand her needs and always makes sure she is comfortable. I have left her there for longer vacations and overnight stays. Jaxi is always glad to see me come back but Kim always sends me pictures and messages while I’m gone letting me know Jaxi is having a great time. Wouldn’t take her anywhere else!!
Don't like leaving our Pomeranian, Bija with anyone, but he's treated like family at Kim's place. Just like at home he's able to sleep on the bed and watch TV. By request she will send pictures and a report of how he's doing. We have total confidence that Bija gets the attention he deserves.
I am not comfortable leaving my husky just anywhere or with anyone! Kim is the only person I have ever left her with when I leave town that I feel good about. Taken care of, safe, not in a kennel or crate with small bits of "play" time. Its a healthy environment that i have no concerns for dog illness such as parvo or kennel cough. I drive 45 min to leave my girl with Kim.
We have been taking our dogs to Deb for a while now and they love it! One of our dogs has severe separation anxiety, so having somewhere with caring staff that caters to small dogs allows us to take some time for ourselves without feeling guilty about neglecting our doggies! If you have a dog that’s under 25 pounds, definitely look into daycare and boarding at 3 Schips!!
Love love love! Our dog Pax LOVES going to play with friends. Deb and staff are truly wonderful with the pups. We’re so grateful for these folks. We do day care once a week and also board when we’re out of town. What a life-savor. Again, SO grateful!
Such a special spot! Our small (pandemic) pup was apprehensive about other dogs and people but we wanted an option for her to socialize. Deb and her lovely staff worked with us to ease her in to daycare, and it’s been a game-changer. She now LOVES her 3 Schips days: goes in tail wagging, comes home happy and pooped from all the fun. Sweet staff, details on behavior/activity provided each visit, and excellent communication.
Need a great place for your small dog to play and have fun? Then this is the place for your pupper. Deb and her amazing staff always provide wonderful service and support. They monitor the animals closely and provide daily report cards for fur baby mommas and poppas. Deb usually requires a day's notice prior to drop off. If you don't call prior, then don't be surprised if you have to be turned away. She will work with you for special circumstances, but the responsible thing to do is to communicate with Deb so she has a heads up. I think I can speak for most of us when I say that I appreciate Deb's desire to ensure proper staffing and pup limits. She does this by asking us to call at least a day prior to you doing off your pup. Cash is king here, so payment options are limited.
We have been bringing our Yorkiepoo here for about 31/2 years. He absolutely loves coming here. The owner Deb and her staff are true dog whisperers and they love our dogs and their job. They only take small dogs up to 25 lbs , but it's a great place to take your dog. They come home happy and very tired!
Cooper loves day are at 3 Schips and a Girl. This little doggie daycare is wonderful. The little furry kids have a beautiful, inside and out, facility to play in. Cozy chairs to cuddle with each other, and benches outside to chill on in between zomies in the play yard. I highly recommend 3 Schips and a Girl!
This is a great place to board your small dog. Very caring and professional. We boarded our small cocker for 5 days without any problem. Would highly recommend Deb and her staff.
The best dog daycare, tailored to small dogs. Deb Bruner and her staff are very attentive to the dogs and understand dog behavior. Adorable decor, and very clean
My pup loves it as much as they love him!
Best doggy daycare ever
Had the pups nails done, quick and good enough considering the pup is not cooperative. The place is a bit stinky but I guess it would be hard not to be 🤷🏻♀️ I haven’t been to many groomers. I’ll be back! …
I just picked up my two Springer Spaniels and I am really happy with what a great job Pooch Palace did! I usually groom them myself and I can be a bit nit picky. There are no shaver lines and their paws were trimmed up really nicely. I am starting a new career and will definitely bring them back to save myself the hassle. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
This place is a gem. I love the homey feel our dogs have. Our big shepherd likes to hang out with the Littles. The staff is friendly and amazing with our dogs.
You can really trust this place. Heather and her staff are definitely pet lovers! As well as insuring that your fur baby is safe and happy they can deal with other issues like medical care, anxiety, old age. I know my pets are in good hands always.
Took our shaggy Boi in for his annual cut and couldn't be happier. They did exactly what we wanted, and his paw-de-cure makes him stealth again. Thanks a bunch
This place has been a godsend, Heather is so kind, patient, and passionate about animals, you could just tell by meeting her. I'm usually a bit skeptical when it comes to someone else caring for my dogs but I'm not worried when it comes to bringing my dogs to the Pooch Palace! They have a great time and we're happy they have a fun, safe environment. 10/10 would recommend and it's been my 3rd time using the dog boarding service and definitely not the last. Thank you again, Heather and team!
Specifically asked you not to touch our dog's tail hair. Especially the amazingly cool white tip. You indeed did not touch any of the other tail hair with the exception of chopping off the amazingly cool white tip after we asked you not to. I was able to overlook the bowl cut you gave him but you just had to cut off that tail hair didn't you. We will never be back. Pooch Palace, I think not more like pooch poor house.
Left our black lab and German shepherd pups here for 9 days. They came back washed, groomed, and toenails clipped. Wasn't even expecting that! Plus the prices are unbeatable. They also offer a military discount! Thank you pooch palace! We are definitely return customers!
This place is a gem! My two dogs and two cats recently stayed with them for almost three weeks, and they took very good care of them. Highly recommend
This was my first time taking my elder cocker spaniels to Pooch Palace. The gals were really nice and attentive to the things I shared about my dogs, giving them a little background on each of them. They let me know how much it would cost, and I found them to be very thorough. I did think they were a bit more expensive then some other places, but the professionalism and cut was definitely top notch and completely worth it. I am very happy, and my pups look cuter then buttons! I would totally recommend. Thank you 😊 Update...from the first groom to the 3rd groom, I went from 65 a dog to 90 per dog!!! My dogs are cockers...I wondered why and just figured they priced me right outta there. Too bad, nice folks there. I drop my stars, am dissappointed☹
We have used Kayla several times and she was great! We have 3 dogs and they just love her. She is meticulous in caring for them & our house is always clean when we return from traveling. Highly recommend her for day visits or overnights.
Kayla provided exceptional house sitting and drop in visits to my kitten and 2 pups! She is extremely knowledgeable, reliable, and kind. I get nervous leaving my pets with new people, and Kayla kept me updated with pictures and little blurbs about how my kiddos were doing! It was a very stress-free process, and I cannot say enough good things about her services!
Kayla is reliable and communicative. I don’t worry about my pets under her care and know they love spending time with her.
Kayla has taken such amazing care of our two dogs and cat on many occasions. She sends wonderful updates throughout our time away and our animals love her tons!!!
Kayla has a love for animals. It was evident in her interactions with our anxious and dramatic, middle aged pooch. She is kind and eager to deliver whatever you set out for her to do. We highly recommend her whether it be for a day or a lengthy stay.
Kayla has taken care of our boys many times! She is trustworthy and professional and most importantly loves our dogs as if they were her own. We will definitely be using her services in the future! Kate & Chad
Kayla has taken excellent care of my special needs cat. She is super friendly and attentive. My cat loves her!! Highly recommend!
Beautiful and wonderful farm! My Alaskan Malamute stayed here for one week. Very clean and well maintained. Tracie is amazing! She is very sweet and great communication. She kept in touch everyday and let me know how my dog was doing. He got to play outside on the farm and play with other dogs. When I picked him up he looked well taken care of. He looked great and was so happy!! I will definitely bring him back. I feel very comfortable leaving him in good hands.
Amazing place, great price. Our dog loves it here.
They take great care of our fur buddy when we are out of town!
Great place to ride!!! Loved it
