Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
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!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
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. ⭐
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!
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!
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
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, $18/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 feel very safe leaving our fur kids with auntie max. She sends photos and videos very often and she loves the dogs like her own children. We have left our pups for weekends or 3 weeks and they are always well taken care of. ❤️
I love Auntie Max’s! We can go out of town and have no worries when our Buddy is with her! She takes great care of him and all of his friends there! She even makes their own food. She’s a wonderful person! We wouldn’t trust anyone else with him, only Auntie Max. If I could give her a million stars, I would. We just love her so much!
I definitely recommend. We are so grateful for the care our pup Izzy received! She’s only 8 months old, so I was very nervous about how she would do staying away from us for the first time. Clair was awesome! She sent plenty of photos and videos of Izzy, and I could just see her coming out of her shell through those. I’m so glad to have found a place where she could play with other doggies and get the love and attention all of our fur babies deserve instead of being locked in a crate most of the day. Thank you Auntie Max’s!
I felt completely comfortable letting my 8 month old golden doodle stay with auntie max she went above and beyond for us provided images and video updates on how Harley was doing! We will be using her anytime we need doggy daycare she has a very thorough process to make sure she understands your dogs needs/personality❤️ she also gave us the cutest gift for Harley at pickup I can’t recommend her enough!
I cannot say enough good things about Auntie Max’s. We were visiting from out of town and need a last minute place for our dog, Boomer to stay for a few days. Clare took him in and instantly treated him like family. Her place is clean and comfortable and the yard is fully fenced and tightly secured which was extremely important as our dog is an escape artist. We received txts, pictures and videos and it was clear that he had made himself at home and was having the time of his life. On his last day he received a gift bag with treats and a toy chicken which was a nod to the reason he needed a last minute place to stay! 😂. Highly recommend on every level! Thank you so much, hopefully we will cross paths again!
Auntie Max's is like a second home to our two dachshunds, Copper and Todd. They get lots of personal attention. Homemade snacks is a bonus. Each day we were gone, we received photos and videos showing how happy they were. They love Auntie Max - and Shera, too!
I wouldn’t take my dog to any other pet sitter. I hate leaving my 2-year-old puppy at home in a crate while I’m at work for 7+ hours. Claire is an amazing woman who understands my dog’s needs. She has the perfect space to accommodate all shapes and sizes of dogs. My dog has some weird quirks but those didn’t seem to phase Claire. She treats them as her own and is so thoughtful about keeping me updated on my pet’s care while I’m away.
Our Bindy loves to go to auntie Max’s!! She treats them so well!! Plus she makes them special snacks and always sends them home with treats. She’s by far the best around!!! Highly recommend
Clare is heaven sent! I do not trust many people to take care or watch after my 2 year old German Shepherd pup. I just returned from a 2 1/2 week vacation and it appears that Nala enjoyed her get away just as much as I have. Not only did Clare take the time to make sure Nala was acclimated with her dogs, she took extra time and made effort to ensure Nala was just as comfortable with her. I received daily updates about Nala and all of the fun things they had done for the day. Nala was most definitely spoiled with treats and love throughout the entire time I was away. At the beginning of the stay, Nala was not eating her normal food... Clare helped her feel more at ease and even gave Nala the food she was feeding her own dogs. On my trip back, my flights kept getting delayed which pushed my return back a day late.... Clare was very understanding and reassured me that everything is fine. It is nice to know you can call for any emergency and she will work with you and your schedule! She was also available to text/call all hours of the day/night, which also kept my mind at ease. Nala was all smiles when I picked her up. I hope this place becomes a second home to her! 10/10 would recommend taking your pup here for a stay. Nala already has her next few stays booked! :)
I have left my two Shih Tzus with Claire a couple times. Would definitely recommend her to take care of you baby. My dogs loved it there. I received pics and videos while we were away. We love that our babies can play with other dogs, be outside in a yard and be given care and attention instead of being alone in a kennel. Give her a call.
Clean kennel tucked away in the woods, 15 minutes from our campground. Worked out great to have them watch the pup for a few hours while we were off on excursions. Would definitely use again.
This is not a place where your dog will roam hundreds of acres and dance with the flowers lol It's a kennel. They board dogs in crates and let them out to play and use the bathroom. If you review it based on what it actually is, it's extremely affordable, nice and trustworthy people, and the facility is very clean. If I lived in NY city and paid $75 per night for a dog spa, this place wouldn't compare but for what it is, it's a good business. Give it a try
Adequate facility for keeping your dog if you have no other options. I just wish I had done more research before I chose this place. We chose this place because it had a 5 star rating and was close by our campground. I almost cried when I left, because all it was, was a crate. I could’ve done that myself. It’s literally someone’s house and they keep the dogs in an air conditioned shed-which I was definitely glad for the a/c part. The owners barely spoke to me, but seemed nice enough. There is a very small play area. When we walked into the shed all the dogs lost their minds barking and it was just a row of crates. Not at all what I, or my dog, are used to. He’s used to having a room with an outdoor run and separate from the other dogs so that was a lot for him. And to be so little with such big dogs all around him, he was visibly afraid. They were nice enough to allow us to pick him up 30 minutes past closing, even tho we decided to just come get him right after our rafting trip and skip the other event we had planned. I would probably not use this place again. But if all you are looking for is a crate to keep your dog in, like I said. They seemed nice enough, and the place was clean and air conditioned, convenient and cheap. But, you get what you pay for. Not really a retreat or any kind of doggy day care like I usually use at home.
Was the first time using Hide and Seek. Very nice family running this business. Very apparent that their facility is clean and they love the dogs.
Very nice people and my dog is always happy there. Good price and usually has a spot available.
Made a reservation and they never answered the door to receive our 3 dogs so we could go on a rafting trip. The place looked in disrepair. Will not repeat.
I’m very particular about my dogs and they did a wonderful job taking care of them. I’ll be back!
I board my dog here everytime we vacation. Great prices and treat my dog well!
Takes good care of pets. Keeps them safe and warm.
They took forever to get back to me. Earful customer service.
