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!
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
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.
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.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
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!
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
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, $5/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've been taking my Golden here since he was a puppy for trips to the amusement or water park and other vacations. He's just happier here with a huge common area and fenced in area to run and socialize with other dogs. They keep extra eyes on behaviors just in case but I've never had an issue. They send pictures while he stays of him playing. It is out in the country a bit but super easy to get to off I-5 and I feel safer and more comfortable knowing he's not locked in a cage all day. Worth the drive and they are very reasonable prices
Best groomers in the PNW. Kind and loving. I drive from Vancouver to CCC to have my senior pup groomed. Would never think about taking her anywhere else.
Very nice and warming groomers and very affordable my puppy Lucy when I say it's time for her bath and nail trimming she's ready to go with her little tail straight up and wagging like there was no time to waste and her ears straight up and let's go DADDY !!Columbia canine cottage is and will be her once a month visit and who ever takes care of her for me are just exceptional individuals and always happy to see her and adore her she's worse than my 30year old daughter but she's all I have and you know what ya she's spoiled rotten I highly recommend anyone looking for a professional groomer Columbia canine cottage is your right place to take your pet for grooming thank you C.C.C greatly appreciated mark and lucy
I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I have a 5 year old Samoyed and know how difficult her coat can be. We have been to at least half a dozen groomers in her life, and never found somewhere as great as Columbia Canine Cottage. I was referred by a friend of mine and got in touch with Keely who is absolutely amazing. She makes myself and my dog feel so comfortable at drop off. She is so sweet and loving to my dog, which is super important to me because my dog has separation anxiety. Keely will text me pictures of my dog during or after the groom to show me how things went. When I pick my dog up, she does not show any signs of stress, only excitement upon seeing me. Keely also makes time to sit and talk with me after the groom to let me know how things go. She does not ever make me feel rushed or unheard and instead reassures all my worries. She also has my groom completed in around 2 hours which is mind blowing because other places will have my dog for 4-5 hours. She does an amazing job with the wash, blow dry and brush, and trims up the paws and sanitary area. I am thankful that she does not trim parts of my dog that she shouldn't (as other groomers have done before). I have started to use them for more than just grooming, because I know my dog is comfortable there. I have started leaving her for the day, or "doggy day care", to let her get more comfortable with the other dogs and being there for longer periods of time. I feel very comfortable leaving her for longer periods of time and will be taking advantage of their boarding program for my next trip. Again, so thankful to have found this place! Thanks for always taking such great care of my baby girl<3
My dog loves it here! She barely looked back at me the last time I dropped her off. I love all the photo updates I get seeing her make friends and being so happy. I was worried she might like it better than home but I think she just feels like it’s an actual vacation for her 💛 …
I was having surgery in Seattle and left two of my dogs at CCC. They seemed very happy and very well taken care of. I was a little nervous leaving them since we’ve never been apart, but I was sent photos on a daily basis. They seemed to be in good spirits when I picked them up. I’ll use them again :) Thanks CCC!
Wonderful caring staff. We've used this place many times with several dogs and it's always been a success. Can't praise them enough, for both boarding and grooming services.
This is our choice every time we need boarding services, and for years our dogs have had exceptional care. They come home excited and happy, and Kurt has made sure to promptly answer any questions we have had. His employees are kind, caring and our dogs love each one. This is where to go for any boarding needs!
Best dog boarding facility I've ever seen. Lots of places like to lie about how much time the dogs spend in cages. This place has staff 24/7, and the dogs are only caged up when someone arrives for drop-off or pickup. They just run as a pack all day, and sleep on couches and beds with a person at night. They have a van to pick up dogs for day care to run around with the pack, only costs like $2 an hour. They also have grooming, my standard poodle loves it there and the groom is the cheapest I've found.
Can't say enough great things about Columbia Canine Cottage. They do a great job with our pup, Cheddar, who seems to do well in their care. They send us regular updates and unlike so many boarding places they aren't spending most of their days cooped up, but being loved and cared for by the staff.
Amazing place for your pup ! Daisie Mae loves coming here for day care . Great friendly staff . Good Job
We LOVE Roxy’s! Our golden Kaia has a blast and she has been going since she was 4 months old. We know she is well taken care and loved - that puts our mind at ease while at work or on longer trips (we use Roxy’s for daycare and boarding).
We chose Roxy’s for our 12 year old Alaskan Malamute during our 2 week honeymoon. He’s an old man and we were nervous to leave him so long, but he was in great hands and we’re so thankful to have found Roxy’s! He needs some extra care in his old age and they handled him wonderfully. We came home to a happy dog! Again, we’re so thankful! Would 100% recommend!!
All around best doggy daycare! Everyone is Friendly and great with our Gus.
I do not recommend. ***update*** The owner just replied - when I picked up they said she “attempted” to jump over the fence towards the forest ravine and they were just worried for her safety. There was nothing stated to me about attacking another dog. My dog is not aggressive. She’s a one and a half year-old chocolate lab. Unfortunately, I just wasn’t willing to pay your $1800 dog training. You were willing to take her if I was going to pay you. How fast the tune has changed!
As a helicopter dog mom, I feel at ease leaving our two St Bernard's here for an extended stay or short trip. They come home happy and tired from all the romping around the fields. I do recommend the affordable pre-pickup bath especially when it's wetter out which it is PNW so that's a greater part of the year. This is our go-to for dog care and we'd give the team >5 stars if we could!
Roxy’s is the perfect place for our dog when we go away. He’s highly energetic, intelligent, and incredibly spoiled, but Roxy’s is his home away from home. I love the peace of mind I get during my trips when I know that my very pampered pooch is having all his needs met at Roxy’s. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
We are from Boise and left our Pearl there for an overnight stay while we attended a concert. Very nice place and nice crew. Thankful they could get us in.
Today I called about boarding my 15 year old Husky that has survived 2 strokes. I have rehabilitated her from both. The woman was told this. She went off about how they had to have my dog for a day to check her interactions with all the staff and all the other dogs! Having worked professionally with dogs, there is a standard for dogs to be safe. But just like people not every animal is compatible with every person or other animal. Not every person is compatible with every person. Same is true for dogs & dog/ person relationships. Well intentioned policy gone very wrong!
Juno spent 2 weeks here when we couldn't take her on vacation with us. She was well taken care of. Was washed and looking good when we picked her up. I would recommend.
We HIGHLY recommend Julie!! She is absolutely AMAZING with our fur babies and every dog she cares for. They will feel like and beloved like they are at home. She goes above and beyond of what I have experienced with other doggy daycare and boarding. My boys get super excited about going to see her.
Can’t say enough good things about Julie!! She treats my dogs like they are her own and they LOVE going to her house! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and is extra skilled at taking care of the little ones (mine are 5 and 7 pounds). Love love Julie!!
Julie is amazing with my boys. They love her and have so much fun playing with all of their friends. She provides all the comforts of home, everything is very clean with lots of attention and detail to providing a safe and fun atmosphere for dogs! I love all the photos she sends!!
Julie is AWESOME!!!! We haven't cut our dogs nails for YEARS because he hates to have it done and no one seems to be able to do it!! Julie jumped right in and literally did it in NO time at all and my dog had no problem at all. Thank you so much Julie!
We ABSOLUTELY adore Julie & her pet service. She is wonderful with the animals. We would recommend her highly to anyone! Cupcake loves her!
Julie is 100% professional, and also treats our pup like a family member. Our dog loves it there!
Kody loves to go to Aunt Julie’s. He loves her, and he loves all his little doggie friends there. He has a great time there. She treats all the dogs as her own family members.
Julie is the absolute best! She is so good at trimming our labs nails and is so kind and caring!
The most amazing dog sitting place ever. Julie has a true passion for little creatures. She is the original dog whisperer!!
Julie is a great dogsitter. My dog can't wait to go see her!
Susie's is absolutely amazing! Our Kono loves it there! Everyone there is so sweet and take such wonderful care of our little princess. Drop off and pick up is easy and smooth. She was excited to see us but didn't want to leave either! I highly recommend Susie's I'd give a 10 if I could!
I'd never boarded my dogs before. I always had house sitters. I tried Susie's and I was pleased. My dogs seemed happy when I picked them up and didn't smell. When I took them back the second time they seemed happy to be there, so obviously no hard feelings from before. The folks were easy to work with and the check in, check out process was smooth. Nice job folks!
I was helping friends while they were on vacation in Greece. I had to pick up and drop off Barnum, their dog, several times. The staff that work here are so wonderful. You can tell right away how much they love all the pets. I would definitely recommend Susie's and if I had a pet I would not take it anywhere else. You guys are the best.
If I were a dog, I would want my owner to board me at Susie's. Joking aside, I've used Susie's to look after my 3 dogs many times over the last couple of years and have had a consistently excellent experience. I have no doubt how much the people who work there love animals, it shows, and it gives me total peace of mind leaving my boys with them. Additionally, they are wonderful people, kind and helpful. I cannot recommend them enough.
Greatest place and group of folks in the world. If you want a great safe place for your pet to stay at look no further! Absolutely love this place. Suzie, Bobby and Sarah are awesome!
This is the only boarding facility where I wasn’t worried about the well-being of my 3 pups while I was away. Adorable and thought setup. Friendly owner. Extra clean facility. Fair prices. The only kennel we’ll use in Vancouver. Make sure you book early- they are popular and space is hard to come by!
Love Susie's. The dogs are always pleased to go and they seem to take good care of them.
This place deserves all of the awards it can get. And so do the people. I’ll never take my dog anywhere else. Susie’s Country Inn is amazing.
I NEVER leave my dog! However I had to board him for several days & I'm so fortunate a friend told me about Susie's. Welcoming, clean, wonderful staff, excellent care of my baby and reasonably priced. Years ago I had a bad experience leaving my dog so I am very critical of any facility. Susie's ticks all the boxes. You can safely entrust your fur baby to their care.
Susie is a fantastic trainer and she runs an excellent, clean facility that cares about you and your dogs. We have had to leave town fairly frequently and Susie has been dependable, her staff is friendly, the drop-off process is thoughtful and clear. I can't say enough about the facility itself; it has a great vibe. It's welcoming and professional. I know my pets are safe. We feel so very fortunate to have Susie and her team to care for our pets when life takes us out of town. Would recommend, thank you.
My girl started off a timid rescue. Wet Noses has been amazing! They have really helped her to find her confidence with other dogs and people. They are great at communicating, sending emails when vaccines are due, info on the dog exhibiting sickness or other issues. My dogs looks forward to her days at Wet Noses, whining with excitement when we pull into the parking lot. I recommend them to everyone!
Wet Noses and Wagging Tails is awesome! I take my two dogs there every week and they always come back happy and tired. Staff is very friendly and flexible with drop off times. I love that they take photos of the dogs during the day too. I would recommend them for any dog owner! Thanks for taking care of these crazy dogs, Wet Noses and Wagging Tails!
We have been using wet Noses for multiple years, for both weekly daycare and boarding. The staff is amazing and truly care about your dogs. Both dogs are excited eveytime we pull up and exhausted when we pick them up. We have and will continue to recommend. They are AMAZING!!!!
This was Buddy’s first time going to doggy daycare so we were kinda nervous about how it might go. Buddy is a very high energy Aussie so we were concerned that he might be too much. Our concerns were for naught. Employees at Wet Noses & Wagging Tails are well experienced with high energy dogs and were actually excited to meet Buddy. Buddy had a great time and the best part was, he was totally exhausted! 😆
Our dog Cooper absolutely loves WNWT. He gets so excited he starts barking as soon as we turn onto the road leading to it. It is reassuring when your pet is so excited about being left at doggy daycare. He’s never responded that way to anywhere else we’ve ever taken him. He comes home tired and happy every time! Thank you WNWT staff for loving him and taking such good care of him!
We just started taking Sadie to daycare and boarding and she loves it. She is so excited to go for either the day or a sleepover. The staff is absolutely wonderful with dogs. I mean look at the grin Sadie has, that says it all. She’s one happy dog!
This review is long overdue. My spoiled princess has been going to Wet Noses for some time now and I sometimes think she may love them more than she loves me. Their love for everyone's babies is hard to miss, they treat each and every pet as of it was their very own. I'm so thankful to have found them to help me in caring for my Mina🌹! 🐾
Our dog, Maddie, has been attending doggie day care since she was a pup. We love the time she spends at WNWT knowing she is loved and is safe interacting with her buddies and the friendly staff.
The best thing that could have happened to us and for our pup Regal is finding Wet Noses & Wagging Tails! From day 1, the staff has been just awesome! Her 1st day of school at just 4 months old all the staff really took care to nurture her timid personality. Regal completely feels at home there now and all the staffers have been so kind watching her grow up. W just LOVE that she can stay in doors with her friends when wet and cold out or outside on nice dry days. It has helped her so much in learning to socialize and more importantly to get her very much needed exercise fix. She just loves it, can't wait to rush in to her pals and when the day is done strolls out nice and tuckered out from a long day's play. Thank you so much WN & WT!!
We were so nervous taking our (also nervous) dog to daycare and boarding for the first time. Our fears were quickly averted - they are helpful, friendly, and above all they love the dogs! I appreciated the extensive vet checklist and the fact that every dog goes through a temperament test before being admitted into the facility. It makes me feel like my dog is safe around all the other dogs. Love the photos and updates, couldn't be happier with the service.
Great doggy day care here! They offer pick-up and drop-offs during the weekdays and play with them all day to get their energy out while we are at work. They also offer overnight stays. Very helpful and friendly staff 🐶 …
I'm 72, and I can't give my pup more than two walks per day, so the dog ranch a couple of days per week is a perfect addition to keep my pup exercised. Plus he loves going!
PDR is awesome!!! Tons of fun for my boy and he’s always coming home happy and tired. He’s been a regular for years and always is stoked about playing at the ranch
My Dog LOVES this place! Mel and Cameron are very nice with great customer service skills. I can tell when they come to pick my dog up that they treat him very well. He’s always super excited to see them.
Boarded our 2.5 year old black lab here for 10 days. We were a little nervous that her first time there was 10 days. When we picked her up, she was excited to see us but as soon as she got in the car she was antsy staring back at the front gate wanting to go back already! Prices are reasonable, especially with the accommodations provided! I can’t think of another place your dog will get more freedom or socialization the PDR. We plan to use PDR any time we need dog boarding in the future!
Great service, our dog had a terrific day
Dipstick absolutely loves this place! It is the perfect place to socialize, and "run with the pack". Brian is a wonderful guy, and his prices are comparable to the so-called "doggy daycares" that are in small old business buildings. I recommend this place all day every day!
Such a great dog park. Worth the drive if you're out of town a few days. Dogs came back happy and so tired! Plus for a bit extra they'll wash them for you 👌 …
Our kids go every Monday, rain or shine! The almighty Bark Bus rolls up like the circus rolling into a small midwestern town, we open the front door and Cooper and Biscuit are out the door, down the driveway and into the days adventure like kids to an ice cream truck. They come home so happy and then they collapse and don’t move for the rest of the day! Mission accomplished! We’ve been sending them to Brian for years and it’s an essential part of our dog family life! And did I mention he does boarding at a very reasonable rate. He’s a dog saint.
Our dog loves it at Paradise Dog Ranch. He gets to spend his days running around with his K-9 buddies and goes crazy as soon as he realizes he is headed there. Brian does a great job with the dogs and will always be our first choice.
We love camp bow wow. Their app is great to manage reservations and book boarding/daycare. Our dog has stayed there many times overnight during trips. I know she is in good hands there! All workers are attentive and truly get to know your dogs.
I don’t trust many with the care of my little furry girl- but I do trust Camp Bow Wow- they are always friendly and supportive- and great at communicating any issues or health concerns that might arise
Our pup is super happy every time he goes there. They are welcoming and caring and sometimes lifesavers when life gets crazy. Love Camp Bow Wow. From AZ to WA they do not disappoint and we are very grateful we found them.
Hank, our golden doodle absolutely loves Camp bow wow. They are always friendly and know all about Hank and he has the best time. He gets groomed while he is there and it is just so convenient for us to drop him on our way to work.
I love the hours because I can work a full shift knowing that she's having fun, she's safe, and I don't have to rush to pick her up. I also love that I can check in on her at any time thanks to the cameras. It makes my breaks very enjoyable. The staff is also very friendly.
I have a young pup who goes to camp about 3 days a week. Doggy daycare is a great way for him to socialize with other dogs and his behavior at home has improved since he now has an outlet for all his puppy energy. Plus they have doggy cameras.
Camp Bow Wow's daycare has been a great experience for my dog, Yenn! She's always excited to go and always tired when she comes home - which is exactly what a dog parent wants. The staff is always kind and professional and they have the cutest events for the holidays. We've been going here for months now and continue to do so. Thanks Camp Bow Wow team!
I know that my dogs will be well cared for when they stay at camp bow wow. They have helped my shy pittie mix become more confident and my senior maltipoo is safe and comfortable.
I love camp bowow because it’s super convenient for me and my family to drop our dog off whenever we are going out of town. Also, the staff are super patient and sweet with our naughty dog Loki 😂. Our little rascal is one year old turning two this year and he is a handful. I love that I can drop him off any day of the week when there’s availability for him to burn some energy.
I absolutely adore this place for my boys! Please continue with the fantastic work.
We highly recommend Ginger Matyas for pet walking and sitting services! For the past couple of years, Ginger has cared for our beloved 12-year-old Labrador, Cash. It's clear how much Cash adores Ginger through her enthusiastic greetings her upon arrival. We are particularly grateful for Ginger's attentive care, especially with Cash's recent health issues. From administering medication to tailoring her walks and providing updates after each visit, Ginger's thoughtful and expert care is so appreciated. Photo credit to Ginger Matyas.
Ginger is the cat whisperer! Having hired other pet sitters, I did not expect the level of care, and play Ginger gave to my babies. Highly recommend!
Ginger is the best! I have 2 cats, one of them needs medications once a day. She is so loving and caring with them, and they love the "catnip parties". Having the peace of mind that they are well cared for while I'm out is priceless. I strongly recommend her services.
Ginger watched our dog Ellie, which is no small feat. Ellie is an extremely active cattle dog who demands activity. Ginger was up to the task and they fell in love with each other. Ginger is so caring and kind with animals it is really a beautiful sight to see. She really connects with all animals. Ellie was happy and well cared for and we have used Ginger numerous times since then. Ginger is the BEST!!
I want to give a huge shout out to Ginger Matyas. We have been using her to watch our two kitties in Manzanita for a few years. Ginger is a true gem! She takes great care of our kitties and lavishes them with attention. She takes and sends the best photos too! Your fur babies will love her!
Ginger is absolutely wonderful! She loves cats and knows how to give them exactly the attention they need while we're away. Our cat is very shy but Ginger was patient with him and now he comes out to play with her, which is very rare for him. She has also given us great advice and resources. She's prompt, kind, communicative, and great with cats. Couldn't recommend her more highly!
Ginger is the absolute best! She goes above and beyond for not only our cat, but for us and our home as well. We receive updates every visit which keeps us at ease, as we have an extremely shy boy. He finally opened up to her, which is a testament to her knowledge, skills and patience - now he loves when she stops by! Ginger is also more than just a cat sitter - as first time cat owners, she's provides great tips, from toys and treats to vet recommendations. Could not recommend her enough!
I knew my cat would be well taken care of after meeting Ginger. She is fantastic at what she does and is truly passionate about taking care of fur babies. I can’t recommend Ginger enough. You’ll get all the pictures and videos you need to feel better about being away. And she has great recommendations for pets supplies in the area.
All I can say is WOW - Ginger was amazing with my 2 cats when I had to go out of town. I am new to Portland and was nervous about finding someone to have come watch my cats for me in my home while I took my first trip out of town. I now have no qualms about future trips because I know my cats will be in great hands with Ginger and her team every time. She brought over toys and played with them and sent pictures/videos every day which was so great. I would 1000% recommend Ginger to anyone needing to find someone to trust their fur babies with!
Ginger has been taking care of my two cats for over two years and she is great! I have an 18 year old cat with early kidney disease and an 8 year old who is frightened of everything after being rescued by firefighters when my condo building had a fire in 2017. Ginger is patient with him and eventually gets him to come out from under my bed covers. My older cat just loves her and climbs all over her. During my last two week trip she came twice a day as it’s important for my older cat to eat regularly. She updated me with photos and videos, easing my anxiety at leaving them for so long. I totally recommend Ginger.
