"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
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.
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
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!
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 20$ 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!
I don’t leave my dogs often, because they need extra care and they are older dogs, but I went out of town for a week, Daryl sent pictures to show me how good they we’re doing .He made feel worry free. I gave him medicine to make sure that the dogs had to take every day. He made sure that was done and he was great!!, also was on time when I dropped my dogs off. No wait time when I picked them up they were well taken care of and in very good hands thank you Daryl will use you again soon😍😍!! Highly recommended!!
Great petsitting option and always listens to concerns and training suggestions. If you are working on a skill Darryl make sure to incorporate and reiterate it during the day while you fur baby is there. Our pup has been going here for almost 2 year
I thought I was making the best decision for my pets when I took my cane Corsos to Darryl . I dropped them off . I was met by Darryl he’s pretty nice personality my male is 2 yrs old and didn’t like him at all but he insisted that he stays a young lady that lives near him came up and my male attached to her quickly . I appreciate that I had a place to take them what I don’t appreciate is being called saying my 6 mos old female is throwing up while I was out of town. Then was told on the third day did she eat a blue cloth of some sort? I ask to so me a picture Darryl said he tossed it . My male is shaking his head a lot and my female I was told wasn’t eating so their home and was drinking so much water for about 20min back and forth my male is sleeping and my female is drinking like crazy and she is also eating I feel fleas biting he had my dogs and his drinking out of a small bowl . How sad. I will never return.
No worries when I drop my dog off, he loves what he does and it shows. My Goldendoodle Kingston loves coming here. Darryl takes great care of him whether it’s daycare or boarding ❤️
Highly recommended for Doggy Daycare & Boarding. We love Darryl <3 my doggie never wants to leave!!!
Lulu was just a puppy when i got her from the rescue center. After a year of working at home, i’d begun a new position and didn’t want to keep lulu home alone all day long. A friend referred me to Darryl. He has been Heaven sent! I was having some trouble getting lulu fully trained and on a schedule. Darryl helped so much with all of the things we needed. Lulu is happy! She gets excited when we arrive. The atmosphere is clean, calm and controlled. There are lots of “puppy friends” for her to engage with. Darryl remains professional yet personable and he definitely seems to have a great rapport with other owners. Pricing is very affordable and the environment is welcoming. Thanks so much!! We’re going to continue using this service.
He helped my 10 week old puppy with socialization with other dogs and potty training he loved it and he took good pictures
I wish there was a -1 rating!!! I have been a dog owner for roughly 13 years, and I've never experienced this level of incompetence EVER! I have boarded my dog in Atlanta, MD, DC, and VA over the past 12.7 years. This "business" was referred 2 me by a colleague, but after my initial visit, I wanted 2 back out but was locked in because of a family vacation during Xmas. Upon arrival, he was late, and the house (feels like his mother's house) reeked of weed. No judgment becuz it was legal, but he could have waited until I left. He said he was/is an Animal Care Techician, but I would argue that the certificate should be rescinded! I gave care instructions that were not followed. When my dog returned, he was sullen. I plan to file a complaint w/ the BBB in his county. Oh, and I forgot, he didn't return certain items and tried 2 charge me a fee 2 mail them to me. DO NOT TAKE UR PET TO HIM!!!
Britney loves going here. He is personable and knowledgeable. I feel my pet baby is safe in his care!
This is Luna's home away from home! She loves it there. Darryl takes special care of our furbaby!
Absolutely amazing experience with paradise for pets! My dog boarded there over the 4th of July weekend and they took such good care of him. The staff made sure to have me come prior to the boarding date to temperament test him to ensure he can safely interact with other dogs. I didn’t expect such a thorough test as kennels I’ve experienced before did not spend hours to get to know your dog. This place is the phenomenal, they truly care about your pets and their wellbeing. Taking the time to ensure they can properly handle the dog in addition to observing behavior of the dog in group settings shows how above and beyond they are willing to go for potential new clients. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in their care, I cannot thank them enough!
This place was so amazing for housing my cat on the same day that I called. It was very difficult for me to find a cat boarding facility and luckily paradise 4 pets had space available and treated my cat very well while I was away. Their pricing is not bad at all and the staff are all so friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have. Food and water was provided as well frequently depending on what your cat is used to at home. And for new customers, you get a free night if stay is longer than 4 nights! Will definitely be using paradise 4 pets again in the near future.
Been taking my pup here for the past 5 years, the staff is very friendly. The facility is clean and well kept up. My pup loves to be outside and is able to socialize with other dogs.
The only place in the DMV that I've been able to find where the dogs spend more time outside than in the kennel. Our pup loves it and the staff and prices are great!
I have borded my cat here a few times and it's an excellent facility, with a great staff. It has a separate building just for Cats, that is clean, quiet, and very safe. The walkway to the building is fully enclosed with a Multiple Double Gate System, so no chance of an accidental escape. So even if a Cat were to get scared and get loose, it could get no further than the next locked gate. Since it's completely enclosed with fencing, nothing can climb or jump out. You have to close one gate, before you get to the next one, and a few more gates after that. Completely Enclosed from the Ground and Overhead. Very Safe and Secure. The Cat kennel has Cat Trees, Cat Tunnels, and lots of toys, and windows so your cat can look outside from their Cat tree. Great Facility and Highly Recommended!
Wonderful place to board your dogs! They love it as they think they are going to camp with their furry friends. Friendly, dog-loving staff! My dog Jax gives it 2 paws up! Woof woof!
Paradise for Pets always show care for my Domino and I am very satisfied with the care they give. I just left my pet with them for 2 weeks, and my baby was happy, clean and excited. The staff are wonderful, I am satisfied.
We have brought our dogs here for many years and we are always pleased with the experience. The dogs get plenty of outdoor time and the staff is always caring and meticulous in caring for our pets. We feel very fortunate to have Paradise for Pets accessible to us when we need to leave the area and we are grateful for their caring approach. We have never had a bad experience here and will never think twice about bringing our pets here in the future. Very happy to recommend!
I have only just started bringing my dog to Paradise For Pets but they have been so incredible. They are extremely affordable for an extremely reliable and quality service. They have remembered my dog each time I bring him, remembered all of his allergies and needs, made sure he's 100% comfortable, and always been friendly and responsive. The facility is stunning and kept up very well. My dog truly loves going there every time, he doesn't even look back while I'm leaving (and he's got decent separation anxiety). I cannot say enough good things about this place, your dog truly is in wonderful hands.
I really can't speak highly enough of P4P. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could. The facility itself is awesome and I love that the dogs get outdoor time and paired with dogs of a similar temperament. Jonathan and his staff are fantastic and clearly love dogs. They take the time to know your dog and are great with my anxious pup. On top of all of that, their price are incredibly reasonable. They're always my number one option when boarding.
