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.

Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
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!
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!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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 :)
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, $21/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!
We absolutely love The Good DoG Spot. All of the staff have loved our pups like they are their own. The facility is always clean and safe for our pup. One of our pups had a serious medical condition and they always accommodated her needs and communicated well with us regarding her days. Up until our sweet girl passed she loved going here. She would wiggle her butt all the way in the door. Our new guy loves his daycare days just as much as our sweet girl did, also does the wiggles all the way in. We are so grateful to have a place to send Comet for daycare and for boarding when we are away that we trust completely. Thank you so much.
Our 2y springer who has separation anxiety has been a fulltime attendee. He is happy and always clean! They have made a few accommodations for him w his issues. We are so happy w his care and they have truly saved our life! We still work fulltime.
They take good care of the dogs they watch. Our dog has been going there for almost a year now. And he loves going there The people who work there are very caring!
We have been boarding and taking our pup to daycare at The Good Dog Spot for the last couple of years and couldn't be more pleased! The owner and the staff all do a great job and are super responsive and flexible. They all really seem to like dogs and are knowledgeable about them as well. The system for reserving boarding is easy and quick. Our dog loves the days that he goes for daycare and comes home happy and tired from all his fun. I also appreciate that they keep us up to date with news and regarding any paperwork that they need from us. We feel really confident taking our pup to The Good Dog Spot. We know he is safe, happy, and well cared for!
Unbelievably great staff at the Good Dog Spot - all of the employees are amazing, special shout out to Lauren! We have been customers for several years for both day care and boarding and have nothing but amazing things to say about how much our beagle Daisy loves this place. We have recommended GDS to several friends and are so glad we discovered this gem. It's always clean, smells fresh, and offers lots of activities inside and out for the dogs. The staff are all professionally trained and genuinely show a love for dogs.
We’ve had great experiences having our dogs groomed here! Super nice, professional, and helpful staff, and even helped us find a sooner appointment that we needed. Artemis & Apollo looked & smelled great after their time at The Good Dog Spot 👌🏼 We will be back! …
Great dog spot @ the Good Dog Spot. Employees treat and know the dogs very well. Facility is clean. The open environment assures that dogs get plenty of exercise, while also supervised (getting human attention, too). When I pick up my dog, she's happy, healthy & exhausted.
My dog has come to the Good Dog Spot for both daycare and boarding since he was only a few months old (he’ll turn 3 soon) and I’m pretty sure he would live here if I let him. As soon as the building comes into view he starts freaking out with excitement and nearly tears my arm off trying to get inside as quickly as possible. The staff is all very friendly and anytime I go away I have peace of mind that he is happy and well taken care of.
My black lab Juno has been going to The Good Dog Spot for years, from training, day care, boarding to play groups and grooming. The staff are excellent and it has been a great experience! Juno loves her home away from home!
I feel like my dog is the mayor of The Good Dog Spot. We love it for daycare and boarding.
The staff at Uberdog is amazing! My dog is happy, well-loved, and is able to play all day while I'm at work. The hours are supportive for me when I need to drop my dog early and pick her up late. Uberdog is a huge reassurance to me that my dog is stimulated, socialized and happy!
My pup, Blue, goes to Uberdog on week days. The staff is simply amazing. They always greet us with a smile and call to Blue by his name. The staff truly cares and loves on the dogs who are there. It gives me great peace knowing Blue us with such caring and loving people.
The staff at Uberdog are amazing humans and have helped my anxious girl increase her willingness to build trust with new people. Sarah (i.e. "Friend") has built a special relationship with my pup... I know my girl truly looks forward to seeing her each week (her ears perk up when I ask her if she wants to see "Friend"). The genuine kindness, consistency, dedication, and knowledge of the staff are unmatched.
My puppy LOVES playing at Uberdog. The facility is very clean, the staff is warm and welcoming - every single person knows my dog and every dog that walks in, and they all seem to love working there! My dog is happy and tired out at the end of a play day. I recently needed to leave my puppy for two extended stays (5+ nights). Each time, I was sent text messages with pictures showing me how my dog was doing. The staff takes instructions from the owners and it’s obvious that they pay attention to every detail. I was confident that he was being taken care of and was safe and happy. Any time I have a question, it is answered promptly. My dog and I are so happy to have found this local business!
My dog loves going to Uber Dog. She recognizes dog friends and people friends. She starts making excited noises when we turn on the street. I had also boarded her at Uber Dog and every time has been a success.
My dog is my whole world. Just went on a 10 day vacation and I felt totally comfortable leaving him with the caring & exceptional staff at Uberdog. This is the perfect place for long trips or daytime play if you want your dog to socialize & be well taken care of. Clean facility every time you walk in & dog washing stations for grooming add ons. I can’t say enough good things about this place. They will have my trust always
UPDATE: almost a year later and Uberdog is still my go-to doggy daycare and boarding center for my Pomeranian. Staff has largely stayed the same and I always know I can count on them. Lucina just came back from another boarding weekend at Uberdog and she had a BLAST! When I’m getting ready to go somewhere, as soon as I say “daycare”to Lucina, she knows instantly we’re going to Uberdog and she gets so excited… she practically drags me out the door! Original review: My puppy loves playing at Uberdog - I highly recommend this facility for both doggy daycare and boarding. I’ve brought my puppy here for both and each time she has a blast… to the point where she gets excited when she realizes we’re bringing her to daycare for the day :) The facility is spacious and clean, but the staff are what really make the place great - they’re always super friendly, responsive and helpful. My puppy has been to a few doggy daycare facilities around the country, and I think this is definitely among my favorite facilities that she’s been to. Highly recommend Uberdog to anybody looking to board their dog for the holidays - I’ve had consistently positive experiences and I know I can count on the staff to take good care of my fur baby.
The staff is friendly and very on top of their pet care. We brought our 4 month old Rottweiler to this location to integrate her with other puppies. We are happy with their attention to detail, keeping an eye on the dogs from little too big with care and attention. This is just the beginning of a great relationship with our Rottie fur baby and Überdog!
Just cancelled the reservation we made 2 weeks ago less than 24 hours before we leave on vacation, they are overbooked. Seems like poor administration and a disorganized facility, our pup probably dodged a bullet with this one.
I cannot say enough about Uberdog. From the facility’s cleanliness, to the high standards of care to the amazing staff who are so kind and loving toward the dogs this is where you want to bring your dog with confidence and trust. Maggie just loves when I tell her we are going to “playday”. She comes home happy and ready for a nice long nap. Thank you so much for being a top level facility Claire Cusson
Very friendly and professional. Our dog is not very social and they handle him without unneeded stress. We trust them unconditionally!
We have been taking our dog there for 8 years now. They know our dor vey well and his needs. We highly recommend them.
I have been boarding with them since I first moved to the area ten years ago. My dog is a rescue and has very special needs and I can't imagine leaving him anywhere else. Bill, Peggy, and Richard are amazing with my little buddy and I can't recommend them enough.
Love this place. My dog is well taken care of while she is there.
Peggy and Bill have a great facility and staff who care for your dogs (kids) like they are your own. I've used them now 3 times for extended vacations and our 2 boys are always taken care of. They listen to your requests for feeding, understand the temperament of your dog and you leave knowing they will be well cared for while in their care. Their facility is clean and always inviting when you arrive and their prices are the best around. 5 stars!
Bill & Peggy and their staff are wonderful. A dog is part of your family and when you need to go away, Canine Academy with its picturesque landscape is the place to take your pet. They take care of everything. I'm disabled and they even give me curb service! I feel completely comfortable when my dog is in their care and think of it as a vacation for her (especially with play times in the open countryside). Give them a try and tell them "Lori" sent you.
Peggy & Bill are wonderful! We dropped off our boy for five days so my wife and I could celebrate her 50th. It was his first time without us and we wondered how he’d do. We had been referred to them from a friend. Our boy did great and was a happy camper, which made us happy as well. From price to caring about your dog, they’re great! If you need a place to take care of your family member while you’re gone, don’t hesitate to come here. All around everyone comes out happy!
I was very nervous about taking my dog to get boarded. She was a rescue dog. I've had her for four years and never boarded her. Well she ran right in. I paid for extra walks and she had a ball. I would recommend canine academy to everyone who needs to board there dog
I had a really bad experience with this place, my pup was brought in weighing 32.8 lbs 7 days later upon pickup she was 28 lbs and was very weak and sick!!! had to take her to the vet ,which cost me another $700 ,on top of paying them nearly $300!idk if anyone else experienced this,but it wasn't good!
Took great care of of our dog. Husband and wife run facility and have been doing it for years. Was our first time boarding our dog and will use then for future vacations. Very fairly priced as well.
Sam has been so great with our dog Cashew! He loves his daily walks and Sam has been nothing but reliable for the past year and a half. He has done great boarding with her as well. Highly recommend!
If you're looking for a dog walker who treats your furry friend like their own, look no further! Sam Antiuk takes the time to get to know your dog's personality, quirks, and favorite pee spots. But it's not just about the walk; it's about the care and attention your dog receives. Sam sends you adorable updates throughout the day, complete with pictures and videos of your pup. What sets this Sam apart is her genuine love for dogs. She’ll go above and beyond to ensure your dog is happy, healthy, and exhausted by the end of the walk. Sam is the real deal, and your furry friend will thank you for it!
Sam is wonderful! Reliable, flexible, professional, and incredibly kind. My dog absolutely loved her - and she loved him right back. I have nothing even remotely negative to say about her or her services. If you can get on her schedule, jump at the opportunity!!
Whiskered Pals is our first and only choice for our dog. From daily walks to boarding, we’ve had such a great experience. And our pooch loves the special attention he gets!
I hired Whiskered Pals over two years ago to help care for my vizsla puppy Vida and highly recommend Sam and her employees! I have been boarding Vida for two days every week while I work long shifts for over a year and a half now, and just started boarding my mutt-puppy Sparrow. Sam treats my dogs with care and loves them like her own. Communication is excellent and I love getting photos of my pups. I know I don't need to worry about them when they're in Sam's care.
Our previous dog sitter who is also a vet tech stopped dog sitting but gave us a great referral! Whiskered Pals Sam came right over and our Golden Retriever,Black Lab and Lhasa Apsos greeting to her was very positive! After that initial meeting Sam has been Awesome in every aspect of her business! Prompt reliable and a real dog lover! She is most definitely our three dogs best friend! Andrew
Sam watched our Pug April and cat Sunny for about 2 years. April became handicapped in her last couple years of life and we needed someone who could really give her the extra care she needed when we traveled. Sam was excellent with April and made us feel at ease when we had to leave her. Sam would always make sure she was updated with any new instructions on food, medications, etc. before we left. She would keep us updated on a daily basis with texts and photos. We would recommend Sam to anyone looking for a great, dependable and loving pet sitter! :)
Sam has been taking care of our 3 dogs and we couldn’t be more pleased. She is so kind, professional and flexible, and of course, the dogs LOVE her! We know we can always count on her and we are happy leaving the dogs in her capable and loving hands. Sam was recommended to us by someone in our Vet’s office and we are so thankful for that.
1st time leaving my dog with Sam at whispered pet pals and it was a great stress free experience! She had me come to her house 2 times so our dogs could meet and I would feel comfortable leaving my dog with her, she showed me around and gave me forms to fill out! I dropped Addison off Friday-Sunday and Sam was in contact with me all weekend! She sent me videos pictures and multiple updates on my dog! She responded to my texts immediately and was a pleasure to deal with! It was nice being able to leave my dog with someone and not worry about her my entire Weeknd away. I definitely recommend whiskered pet pals for your pet care needs! You will not be disappointed!
I love having Sam watch our two dogs, Annie and Gunther! She has done many overnight stays with them and I have complete peace of mind while we are away. She always keeps me updated with texts and pics of the dogs, and I know they are in the best possible hands. Sam is so friendly and accommodating, I highly recommend her services!!
