Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
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!!!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
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.
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.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
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, $16/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 have taken Coco for boarding with Ray for a couple years now anytime I go out of town and she is the only person I trust to take care of him! She always keeps me updated with photos and videos while I’m gone, and I love that she takes him out for walks and hiking while he is in her care! He always has such a good time with her and the other pups! I recommend her to all of my friends with fur babies, she is amazing! ☺️
I can't express how great it is not have to worry about my pet when I travel. Ray makes me feel super comfortable that my dog, Kylo, is going to be pampered while I'm out of town. Kylo may look forward to my trips more than I do! The other dogs are always super sweet to him. Ray does a great job of keeping me updated and send adorable pics/videos. When I'm out of town I know Kylo will be safe, happy and active! Top notch services!
Our doggy loves coming to Pet Pleasers. Ray is the best and takes such great care of every animal she works with. Whenever we need someone to watch our dog (who is almost 1 and very hyper) I know with confidence Ray can handle her. As new dog owners we are grateful to have found Pet Pleasers!
Pet pleasers does an amazing job! Each time they have kept my bully he always returns better then before. I strongly recommend.
Hazel had an amazing time!!! Thank you so much for taking my girl on an adventure!!! Can’t wait to see how her refresher training goes!!!
Our dog Athena loved getting washed by Ray. She always sent us photos and videos of Athena which made the experience more comforting and pleasant.
I booked with Ray for my dog Bear for daycare. Professional from start to finish. I know Bear is in good hands customer service is top notch!!
Lorraine is amazing with my dogs! Roo is scared of everyone but made friends with Lorraine in just two days. She plays ball with them and loves them as if they were her own. I highly recommend Flying Dog Pet Sitting. She even sends pictures of your happy pups playing!!!
Lorraine is so great with our two pups! She’s very reliable and trustworthy. I know our pups enjoy their daily visits during the week and I love reading their “report card” when I get home from work! I couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for our fur babies!
Lorraine is wonderful! I am so impressed with how responsive and professional she always is. I love reading the reports she leaves about each visit. My dogs absolutely love her and I know they are well cared for whenever she goes to our home. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
We LOVE Lorraine! My dogs are my furbabies whom I don't trust with just anyone. Lorraine is absolutely amazing with our three dogs. When I leave them in her hands I can go on vacation without a worry that I will return home to happy, well cared for, and loved dogs.
Lorraine and her husband are so loving to my animals. I have 5 dogs and some are in their senior years and one has a back issue. They take special care with them and are able to give them their medications as needed. They also take care of our fish too! They are so wonderful at giving us daily progress reports and picture texts from time to time. That really means a lot. FDPS can come as much as 4 visits a day :) and they are very flexible. Please consider them for pet sitting. You won't be sorry!!
All of our pets love Lorraine! We can go on vacation knowing that our fur babies are being taken care of in the best way possible. She leaves cute notes each day telling us what she did and how the animals interacted with her. We come home to happy pets every time.
Lorraine goes above and beyond caring for our sweet furbabies. We don’t have the easiest of dogs but Lorraine is awesome with them. Highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs.
Lorraine has been such a blessing to work with! She truly has a passion for what she does and it shows in the care of our fur baby! We are so grateful for her 😊 …
Lorraine was incredible with our boxer. She immediately bonded with him. The care she provided was outstanding. The peace of mind we had knowing he was well cared for made our trip more relaxing. It was very easy to make the arrangements for Lorraine to take care of our dog. If anything, her misses her!
Lorraine was our Pet Sitter for years and we felt like she was a member of the family. We and our pugs absolutely love her! She is honest, reliable, conscientious, attentive, patient and loving with all animals. If I could give her 10 stars I would!!
