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!
Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
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!
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
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!
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!
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, $20/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!
What a great experience, and this is now the second furbaby we are bringing here because of the positive results and awesome staff! The methods we and our dog learned here are great and really work. Our Black Lab Pitt mix and our Papilon learned so much from the instructors. They take their time and are super empathetic to each and every dogs demeanor, anxieties, strengths, and weaknesses. You have questions about specific behavior issues? They have you covered with suggestions to try out. Great location, plenty of parking, and they have so many good products for your furbabies!!! They even have private sessions and at home if needed. Thank you Paws-Itive Experience!!!!!!
I've taken all my pups to Paws-Itive Experience (2 Chihuahua's, 1 Seberian Husky & 2 German Shepherds, yes over 20 years of bogs) and I couldn't be happier with their program. Their philosophy and care they give to our 4 legged friends is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend them
Fantastic facility with loving, caring employees. We had our old dog trained there with the original owner and wasn't sure what to expect with our new puppy. Rob is wonderful in training classes and has kept the legacy of what Pawsitive was founded upon alive. The day care is very reasonably priced, well run, and is a life saver for those days when we have to go longer than we'd like with no contact or the pup has TOO. MUCH. ENERGY. and we aren't in a position to properly exercise her. We are grateful to everyone there and can't recommend Pawsitive highly enough.
I brought my 1 year old rescue to Pawsitive for a groom session and he loved it! They even put a cute holiday bandana on him. The facility is huge, but incredibly clean. They have a lot of treats, CBD, food, toys, etc. Upon check out as well. Will definitely be going back and plan to check out their dog day care as well.
We had a great experience bringing our Pup to training and the Obedience 1 Class with Rob! They accept any dog, even ones that are barking/loud. The class wasn't just obedience, but also behavior correction, which has help a lot. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great group training class!
Great small owned Company! Very professional and all the staff are very polite and helpful. They offer a variety of services for your fur baby (or babies) and carry great top-of-the-line brands with fair pricing. Definitely recommend checking them out and supporting your local businesses. I have been supporting this business for years and it's worth every penny!
Rob was a very knowledgeable trainer. Everything we applied at home that we learned during class was successful. Rob also answered and advise us on any questions we had about behaviors we were experiencing at home. Rob was also very observant during class and would always go to a dog he saw exhibiting behaviors that needed correction and work with the owner on it. Would highly recommend.
Im so happy i discovered this doggy daycare! I just enrolled my golden retriever puppy into this place and we’re very happy here! I was looking for a casual yet fun place to send my puppy to have her socialized with other dogs and this is certainly it. The staff are all very friendly and seem to be great with the dogs. The dogs are great with one another too. This daycare offers great hours at an affordable cost. I recommend Pawsitive Experience!
I really love Paws-itive Experimce. I've been bringing my dogs for daycare for almost 20 years! I feel the staff really cares about dogs and understands their interactions and behaviors. In the spring and summer, they have an outdoor area for the dogs as well. As far as cost goes, some of the franchise locations offer better rates, but there isn't the personal touch that there is at Pawsitive. When I go in with my dog, they know her by name. I was a little disappointed when they instituted a policy where you can't drop a dog off after 2pm - but I assume it helps with the flow and management of the dogs. I haven't used their training services or classes in over 10 years, so I can't really speak to that, but I know many people who have been pleased with them. Overall, a great business.
If you are on this website wondering if Paws-Itive Experience is the right place for Obedience Class or Private Training look no further. I, nor my dog, would be where we are today without the expertise, genuine concern, truthfulness, and kindness of the owner/trainer, Rob. I HIGHLY recommend Rob to you. He helped us accomplish our goals and learn so much about being a dog/handler team during the months we trained with him. A stranger who saw me in a park struggling to walk my dog stopped me and recommended that I try training with Rob. I had attended training elsewhere and was very hesitant he could help us. Emailing Rob with my questions about his classes was one of the best decisions I have made since getting my dog two years ago. People now stop me when I am walking my dog and asked who trained him. Of course, I am honored and proud to speak to them about Rob! My hope is that through this review I can now be that stranger to help you by referring you and your dog to train with Rob at Paws-Itive Experience.
Elyse is extremely reliable, reasonably priced, and my dogs absolutely love her! She gives me piece of mind when I cannot be there to care for my dogs, whether it be for a day or a week. She is extremely knowledgable about all animals and is able to care for my large and giant breed dogs without a hitch. Her knowledge, reliability and genuine love towards all animals puts her above all the rest. I highly recommend!!
Elyse has done a great job taking care of our three dogs. We've used her for overnight stays and single day visits. I know our pets are being cared for by someone who really loves animals. I would highly recommend Elyse and The Pampered Pet.
BUYER BEWARE. CANNOT TRUST. Elyse had committed to watching our dogs over our vacation anniversary weekend and 3 days before we were scheduled to leave, she completely ghosted us and never responded to any calls or texts. Never bothered to tell us she could no longer watch our dogs. She had also confirmed for a meet and greet which she needed to reschedule and never came. Terrible way to run a business and we had a really difficult time finding backfill. I hope your business fails, truthfully, so others don’t have to deal with the same incompetence and lack of integrity. 👎🏼
We love Elyse :) She has been watching our cats for 10 years, and always is willing to go above and beyond (she once fought out flooded basement while we were away!) Recommend her heartily :)
ELYSE is amazing! So flexible and very communicative! We are so grateful for her!!! She is clutch!
I came across Amy on a town website. I was in a pickle and needed last minute care for my puppy. I contacted Amy and she responded right away. Amy was super accommodating and able to fulfill our request. Since than we have used Amy several times. She takes excellent care of our dog and cats. She is very professional, organized and a pleasure to work with. She organizes everything prior to the visit and confirms everything the day before to make sure everything goes smooth. She is in contact after each visit letting us know our pets are taken care of and even sends us pictures. I highly recommended Amy to anyone seeking pet care. She is simply the best.
Top recommendation for Amy’s! Best service and experience I’ve had with a dog caretaker by far. Amy and her staff are reliable, professional and always willing to accommodate my requests (especially since I work long and sometimes unpredictable hours). Amy’s works with and around my dog’s special issues which is a bonus. I wouldn’t consider anyone else and neither would my dog.
I can’t say enough about Amy’s Sit and Stay! Amy is reliable, professional, trustworthy and our dog absolutely loves her. We have no worries going away and leaving Amy responsible for our dog Annie. When we come home Annie is happy and healthy. Amy goes with the flow if we need her longer for what we planned with no problems whatsoever. Would never have anyone else care for our dog when we’re away.
Amy was fabulous! I love how she paid attention to detail! She wanted to make sure she knew our dog and cat from their treats and routine down to the way they like to play. I never had to worry for a minute while I was away because it was clear she had everything under control. It was such a comfort knowing our animals didn’t need to be boarded but could rather keep their routine at home. I would highly recommend Amy!! She will update you as often as you’d like (pics and all) and goes out of her way to deliver great care and service the entire time you are away. Definitely a 5 star service!!
Had a wonderful experience recently with Amy’s Sit and Stay when we went on our first vacation away from our beloved furbaby. We were so worried about how he would do but Amy sent us daily updates and photos and we felt so much better about leaving him alone those few days. Would absolutely 100% recommend and will def use again!!
My one dog is very shy and the other can be grumpy. However, Amy was able to take of their needs. I would highly recommend amy sit and stay pet care. Karen Mitchell
The best service ever. They care about our pets like they are their own. Super reliable & professional and prices are extremely fair. Been using Amy for years and we feel so fortunate... it’s a great feeling knowing our dogs are in such wonderful hands when we are away.
My cat didn’t want to come back home with me after Amy had my cat for one week. She was very happy and content. Amy sent me pictures of my cat to console my worries. 5 STAR , I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND AMY HARPER
Amy is awesome with our dogs. She is flexible with our crazy schedules, which is a great help. It is awesome to have someone local we can trust.
Amy treats my puppy like she's her own, consistenly goes above and beyond, and my puppy adores Amy!
Gina is great! She sends text/picture updates and gets to know your pet first so you know they're loved while you're away! Thanks to her, our guinea pigs got to stay home safe and comfortable instead of having to board at the vet. Would recommend!
Gina is a pro! The hardest part of going away, even for a couple of nights, is leaving our fur babies. Millie (our dog) loves Gina. We feel very comfortable leaving her and our two cats knowing that they are in very good hands. Super reliable and always a pleasure to work with... Highly recommended!
I highly recommend Mommy and Me Pet Sitters for all your fur babies! Gina and Rita are the only people I trust to take care of my pup as if he was their own. Rita and Gina are always very professional and let me know how my pup does thrughout his day or stay with them.
The best experience I've had. Highly recommended
We've used their cat sitting services for 14 years and they have provided superior care. We travel often and take so much comfort knowing our fur babies are under competent loving care. Never a doubt or concern.
Rita & Gina are the most genuine people you'll ever meet in your life. Trust worthy, caring honest. I'd trust them with mine and my animals lives!
Best doggie daycare around!
Gina is wonderful!!
