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.

I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
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!
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!
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!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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 $ 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!
Easily, if somewhat bumpy, access for a wheelchair. Lovely venue. Beautifully decorated, flowers a natural backdrop. Attended both a rehearsal dinner and wedding at this venue and had an amazing time at each. Bathroom facilities might put some people off but that is the cleanest, most well tended, wheelchair accessible port a potty I've ever seen. Worked beautifully for these gatherings.
My niece's wedding couldn't have been more perfect ! The setting reflected her and her husbands country roots - and centered around family. Quaint barn, under a beautiful willamette valley treed canopy ! Everything aligned beautifully, the roses were in full bloom, the sunset danced across the stars, as the stalls were filled with music, joy and laughter in celebration of their big day. It's a must see.
This is such a great location for an outdoor wedding! There are so many cute details and awesome amenities available with your package. Not to mention the owner is wonderful! He is very easy to work with and happy to help you get exactly what you want out of your experience! Highly recommend!
Absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere is great the parking is plenty. The host was helpful and helped set up and take everything down.
I attended a wedding here and it was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend checking out RidgeStables LLC before choosing the venue for your next event!
Brian is amazing to work with!!!! He made sure that I had everything I needed! This is a beautiful venue with lots of parking and natural beauty! I highly highly recommend this venue!!!!
Jen, Carly and Dylan have all been wonderful! It's easy to request pet care for our kitties when we leave for a few days, and we know that we'll get photo updates while we're away ❤️
Excellent care of our cats! I really appreciate the timely email updates and the photos. Highly recommend Jen and her team to take care of your fur babies.
I love Corvallis Pet Care! It's super easy to schedule services online. They are very attentive to my cats and send daily write-ups and photos of my pets. They offer excellent service.
Corvallis Pet Care is wonderful! The owner is extremely conscientious about responding to any questions and accommodating specific requests. My pets can run a bit anxious (as can their owner), but both my elderly dog and cat seemed very comfortable with the visitors. The detailed emails and pics you get after every visit really help to put your mind at ease.
They took great care of our kitty while we were away. Very happy to get daily updates from the caregiver. Strongly recommend and we will be happy to use them again.
I have used CPC on two different occasions for walking my dogs. Jen was prompt to get back to me in response to questions and was well organized. The dog walker I met seemed personable and comfortable with our dogs, who came back happy from their walks. It would be nice to have the same staff on all walks, but guess that is not possible. I would use CPC again.
We are new to Corvallis and new friends recommended Jen/Corvallis Pet Care for our pup Myles. Jen is great. She is knowledgeable about dog behavior and training skills. Jen also participates in continuing education. We have confidence that Myles will be cared for in a safe environment and his day full of new adventures.
We love Corvallis Pet Care. My dog loves boarding with Jen. He’s stayed with her since he was a puppy. He gets walks every day and I know and trust he is safe and well cared for. He always comes home healthy and happy. Jen has also cared for my elderly cat in my house. Jen is smart, safe, and skilled with any level of pet service you need. I am grateful to have found her.
Wonderful service, and great communication before, during and after pet care. Pricy, but definitely worth it when less expensive options aren't available. Thanks to Jen and Elizabeth for working with me!
Jen and her team have provided excellent care for my two cats! They are reliable and timely with their visits and always provide detailed updates on your pets during their visit (including cute photos!). Scheduling is incredibly easy, and I appreciate that Jen and her team are very communicative. I always come home to cats that are well cared for and loved while I am out of town. I feel lucky to have been connected with Corvallis Pet Care and have recommended them to friends in Corvallis!
Diana is wonderful with our pup. It’s the happiest I’ve seen her arriving, during, or leaving a daycare or sitter. We get photo updates of Melon playing, relaxing, and chewing on sticks. It’s a small business, meaning a lot of personalized attention per dog, and a huge fenced yard that the dogs love. Diana’s systems for receiving and handing off the dogs are excellent and controlled. I’d recommend Wag-n-Smile to everyone who’s lucky enough to get on the list.
Wag-n-Smile is the absolute best! My dog, Harley, has stayed with Diana on several occasions and I hope I never have to send her anywhere else! I never have to feel guilty for leaving her because I know she is getting her own ultimate doggie vacation. Diane sends detailed updates so you get a wonderful story, complete with photos, of what your pooch has been up to. Harley loves to go to Wag-n-Smile and run with the other doggies, play fetch, and explore the large and beautiful yards. Diana obviously loves dogs and spends time playing with them during their visits. I highly recommend Wag-n-Smile to anyone looking for a skilled, attentive, and loving dog boarder.
Wag-n-Smile is the best! Diana is amazing - I couldn't ask for a better sitter. Her property is perfect - secure and safe with places to explore, sniff, run and play. She is so attentive to the dogs, and her calm demeanor is so reassuring. My dog has stayed with Wag-n-Smile several times this year, long and short stays, and he comes home contented and happy each time. Before I found Wag-n-Smile, my dog would get upset when he saw the suitcase come out—but now he lounges on the bed and watches me pack, then he happily hops in the car and only gets excited when we pull into Diana's driveway. The best part of my trips lately is seeing photos of how much fun my dog is having without me. :) Thank you for the peace of mind, Wag-n-Smile!
I left our family dog Ginger with Diana for almost 2 weeks when we went to Mexico. I knew when I first met Diana, that this was the best situation possible for our beloved pet. Ginger has Cusings Disease and needs some special attention with regards to water needs and a supplement program we have her doing. Diana posted pictures everyday, and we could all see that Ginger was doing just fine, getting lots of exercise and TLC. I would not hesitate to recommend Diana! She has a beautiful space both inside and outside for the dogs, and she is a very caring person.
I have two pups I adore and it gives me such peace of mind to leave them with Diana at Wag n Smiles when we leave town. She loves dogs and knows dogs. Her property is ideal for dogs and our girls love to run and play there. I trust Diana totally. You couldn’t ask for a better boarding option for your cherished pups.
I have boarded my dog Bella with Diana, the owner of Wag n Smile, on four different occasions now and she is absolutely wonderful. Her property is spacious with a beautiful outdoor setting. There are several backyards and plenty of land for the dogs to explore. Diana has always taken very good care of my Bella , from giving medications to special dietary needs, and getting enough excercise. My dog is my baby and when I go out of town it is so difficult to be without her. Diana always makes this easier for me by sending detailed daily updates and pictures so I always know how she is doing. I can’t not speak highly enough of Diana and the service she provides. Leaving your fur babies in someone else’s hands is a very hard thing to do but when I take my Bella to Diana’s it’s like leaving her with a trusted family member. I will happily continue to only board Bella with Wag n Smile 😊
What's not to love? Diana was wonderful with our shy and submissive Boxer girl. She sent us pictures of whatever Tessa was doing that day, what dogs she was interacting with, and a general overview of how each day went for her. The yard is big, fenced, and allows for lots of running and playing chase. The alpacas are great entertainment, and we could tell our girl wasn't the least bit stressed by leaving her in Diana's care. She ate well and was in perfect health/weight when we picked her up. She was happy to see us, but wasn't in a hurry to leave! I give Diana an A+++ for the care and extra attention she showed Tessa.
I love knowing that my dog is getting tons of exercise and attention while he stays here. The large fenced in yard, hours of playtime, and in-home care makes boarding here a vacation for my dog. Diana is great about updating with photos throughout the boarding. The last time I boarded my dog for a long weekend here, he slept for three days straight, he was completely tired out!
Diana takes wonderful care of our two dogs; the photos she shares always come with tidbits of information so there is no doubt that they are enjoying their time with her.
Diana always takes awesome care of our elderly dog. He’s always happy to go to Wag n Smile!
With the facilities in a country setting, and the way the dog boarding areas were laid out, there was no thought of using any of the other places we looked at in the area. I especially appreciated that the small dog building is separate from the large dog area. Chris, the owner, was personable and knowledgeable and gave us a great tour. This is a very nice family owned and operated business.
I do not board my dogs. I try to avoid it at all costs. But I will gladly board my german shorthaired pointer at Joyful Noise. They don't treat their dogs like typical boarding facilities. From what I've seen, the dogs get to run around quite frequently and the staff do what the dog wants to do. I never have doubt that my dog will be taken care of here. They have always been so accommodating to what my dog needs. Very pleased with this facility. I've attached some pictures of my dog Rosie running around and playing with other dogs. Every picture sent to me makes me feel reassured I've chosen the right place.
Joyful Noise is the only place we trust our pup with!! Their flexibility and communication when booking is top tier and the way they love your dogs as their own is wildly apparent. The changeover of owners approx a year ago has gone without a hitch and the improvements they are making are nice!!
I have been boarding with Joyful noise for years. My dogs always have a great time and the owner is one of the most pleasant individuals I have met. I live 40 miles away and still choose to board with them. I can't recommend them enough.
I was very nervous to board my 2 dogs. One has a lot of anxiety and has never settled well when boarding. The other had never been boarded - he's a COVID puppy who rarely is even left home without people. I heard great things about Joyful Noise... And then was nervous again when I heard there were new owners after I scheduled. All of my own anxiety was for nothing. My dogs were so happy when we picked them up. The new owners are wonderful (and were so generous with me and my own nerves and my exhaustion when messing up pick-up a bit). I feel so much better knowing that the next time we are going out of town, I can feel calm about this part of the experience. My fur babies will be safe and happy here. Thank you, Joyful Noise!
Lovely experience for our neurotic dog, Lilly. She was well cared for. Friendly staff and great facilities. Very reasonably priced, too. Will use them for all our future boarding needs!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Joyful Noise Dog Boarding! My fur baby “Mr.Bentley” gets to play and hang out with all his friends while I’m away. They love him almost as much as I do! They go out of their way to accommodate my busy schedule. Mr.Bentley is VERY well taken care of! I Never worry about his stays! When ever I ask Bentley if he’s ready to go visit his friends at camp…he runs to the front door! He loves going…what a concept in this day! Other boarders I’ve used in the past don’t even compare! I will never take him anywhere else!
Our two dogs room together at Joyful Noise and always come home happy. The staff are friendly and sweet to my dogs, even when they’re rambunctious and excited. The cost is affordable and it’s nice to not have to worry about them while we are away. I only wish there was a bathing option but that’s because my dogs love to get dirty during playtime. :-)
Have used them twice for vacation and have been very pleased with the service. Our dog loves the cows in the next yard and seems to love the people. Very nice staff. A little hard to get an appointment but they have improved with this and makes me assured thier priority is the dogs.
Thanks Kathleen for greeting us with warmth and enthusiasm today! Our dog Bella is happy and excited to visit your beautiful country dog boarding school and we think she will enjoy staying with you-all for a time soon. We had fun meeting a few of the other dogs and staff at their play time outside. We will make sure Bella gets her bordatella vaccine at Town and Country vets as soon as possible now before her stay. Thanks again for showing us around and welcoming Bella at your place. We can tell that all of the dogs have a real loving home there. We appreciate your hospitality and love for animals and especially the dogs very much. We always wish we could take our dog Bella everywhere with us, but you make the fact that we really cannot a little easier to take. Thanks it's a good start with our visit to Joyful Noise Boarding today!
