Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
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.
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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, $20/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!
The sitters at Happy Paws have been nothing short of phenomenal! They have been really great with my elderly cat when I am away to make sure she is comfortable and feels safe. I can count on them when I travel for work. They do a great job of keeping you informed of when they arrive and what their visit entails via a journal entry and photos. I highly recommend this service provider for one's pet sitting needs!
Happy Paws is an amazing company! I am a Senior Manager at the company and just love working with our amazing sitters! We all just love providing exceptional care to all the fur babies!! ❤️
I have been using Happy Paws for years. First with my Chihuahua and then my cavapoo. The sitters are wonderful!. I love the way they take lots of photos and a description of their visit but most of all my dogs love them! 💗 …
Thankfully I have found HappyPaws shortly after moving to Frederick, thanks to google reviews. Initially I contacted a person that was recommended on Reddit but this person was so flaky and completely bailed out on meeting with me (very unsettling), and so I contacted Happy Paws soon after and received a response minutes later! Meet and greet was detailed and orderly and professional and the pet sitters are all amazing. My separation anxiety is worse than my dog’s (LOL!), so I feel a deep sense of gratitude that I have found a local business with caring people to take care of my dog when I’m away.
We were in need of assistance with our elderly dog and my sister’s dog while we were gone much of the day at my son’s wedding. They provided prompt, professional and kind care for our dogs. I feel confident to entrust my dog to their care at any time. Thank you so much!
Always take such great care of our pets. Our dog loves having his friends from Happy Paws stop by for a visit.
Happy Paws truly cares about their clients and animals. We recently had an unfortunate incident with a visit but Angela the owner handled it with compassion and care. Today she proved why Happy Paws has such good reviews and we couldn’t be more pleased with how the situation was handled. We look forward to working with them in the future.
We absolutely love Happy Paws - always been so good to us and to our precious 4-pawed babies.
We love Happy Paws they are easy to use, very helpful and really care about your pets. They communicate after every visit. They are the best!
Happy Paws was great! Their initial home visit made us feel reassured that they'd take good care of our pets while we were away. We were on a 10-day vacation, and received daily email updates about how things were going - nice to hear your pets are happy and healthy when you're far away. Wouldn't hesitate to use Happy Paws again!
When we were out of town for more than three days, we would always have Urbana Pet Care to take care of our two cats. The sitter would help to change water, clean the litter, play with our cats, and send us photos. The sitter was really responsible and provided great service!
Best pet-sitting service ever! We were not satisfied with our previous pet sitter and were reluctant to try another. I then browsed the website Yelp and found Urbana Pet Care, which was highly recommended. My husband and I decided to give it a try. We just had our first pet sitting engagement with Urbana Pet Care last month. The staff showed genuine concern and care towards my pet, which in turn made me feel more comfortable having them take care of my pet. Rice was amazing with our cat Catty and texted detailed updates with pictures every day to us, making sure that we were at ease. It's always great to get updates about your pet while you are away. We were very pleased once again with Urbana Pet Care, and would certainly recommend them based on our experience.
I have used Urbana Pet Care for a few months to take care of our two doggies🐕🐕 when we go out of town. We always have someone from the Urbana team stay at our house so we don't mess with their routine. Recently we went on a 2 week cruise to Italy, France and Germany and left our pups to the sitter Rice. He emailed us pictures of the pups having fun and laying around every day, letting me know how my doggies did in their daily walk😊. I also appreciate that my home alarm system is always reset properly and the door locked every day. Makes me feel safe knowing Urbana is responsible for both my pet and my home. My neighbor also recently told me that she saw my dogs out with her new walker the other day and my doggies looked like they were having a great time🎉🎉🎉👍! Thanks! We hope Rice is available when we go out of town next time!!😊
We started using Urbana Pet Care’s midday dog walking service two years ago so our dog can take a bathroom break everyday while we are at work. The team has been doing great ever since! The walks are always on time and the walker is really friendly - my buddy loves her! And when there is an emergency, the team always has back up. Recently we went on vacation and were unable to bring our dog. So instead of boarding, I tried their in home pet sitting service for my dog and to take care of my cat also. It was great, I received pictures and updates from every visit so I didn’t have to worry while on vacation. Overall, they always keep us updated, are very efficient at communicating, and are a very nice team to work with. Highly recommended!
We requested cat pet sit service during our vacation time. We receive a video or image update for each visits and the sitter follows the instructions carefully. Everything went well and they deserve a 5 star rate! I will be back in touch for my next trip with Urbana Pet Care.
Top-notch pet care!🎁 I was soooooo lucky to meet Urbana Pet Care, the best pet sitter I have found in the area, hands down. I have a British Shorthair & also several cats.🐱 The cats are strictly indoor & my biggest fear is that they will somehow get out while the front door is being opened/closed, as they are curious creatures. But Urbana Pet Care exceeded my expectations and took great care of my kitty every time. My little puppy always seemed happy when I would come back from my works or trips, which is proof that the pet care specialist would actually take the time to play with her, to brush her and give her attention. I can't recommend Urbana Pet Care enough if you're looking for a great cat sitter or dog walker with reasonable rates who will give you peace of mind!👍👍👍
Rice to the rescue!! We had to leave town overnight without notice and worried as we have a little dog 🐶that we were not willing to leave with strangers or in a cage at some boarding facility. We asked our friend and he recommended Urbana to us. We then called Urbana and asked if there was any way they could help. 📲A few minutes later, Rice, the owner, was on the phone and even insisted on driving us to and from the airport. ✈️ Rice welcomed our doggie into his own home 🏠and sent us updates and pics every few hours. So incredibly relieved to have been able to tend to an emergency without having the stress of worrying about our little one!🆒 I am thrilled with Urbana and will definitely offer a recommendation to anyone with pets. 🤩🤩Rice and his team have done a wonderful job. They love animals, and they know how to take care of the things you'll be worried about before you even get a chance to worry!👏
We were delighted by the experience with Urbana pet care. They sent pics and videos through our time away which was so helpful.our dog had a really good time with them :) will definitely going back!!
Recommend! 1. Super quick response. 2. Easy to set up and change the schedule 3. Manger and sitter are super nice and professional 4. Follow the instructions without the question 5. My dog loves them Thanks Rice and your team!
I'm so glad I found this pet care. Great service and my dog love them.
I am a first time dog owner. We had to go out of town and needed to board our dog (still a puppy). The first kennel turned us down (reason unimportant), but ultimately fortuitous. Diamond Dog Resort of Frederick was a godsend. We specifically asked for no contact with other dogs. Josh, Diamond’s manager honored that request. The grounds are absolutely fabulous for a kennel with cows, chickens, goats, as well as kennels. Knowing how anxious we were, he gave us constant updates, every day. What a relief to have no canine worries while we were away. The cost for boarding was incredibly reasonable. With such personal attention and a very happy puppy, I will not hesitate to use Diamond again. I’ve been told it’s really difficult to find the ideal kennel. Well we found it and will recommend to anyone searching for the perfect home away from home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Always so easy to book and takes great care of my pups!
I took my dog here for an overnight stay. Although a little cluttered, and going through a transition, you can really tell Josh takes pride in the work he does. The place has a lot of potential, and looking forward to future visits. My dog came back home excited and I know he had lots of exercise and playtime, unlike other areas that just kept my pup in a kennel for a majority of the time. I will use this service again in the future.
Excellent breeder, training, and kennel facilities. Both of our German shepherds stayed for 14 days in February 2020 very well taken care of.
I have a special pup. But she did well and they did well with her. I have found my new doggo weekend camp
Great neighbor. Wonderful trainer and advocate for the GSD. My privilege to know Diamond Shepherd Kennels.
My wife and I have been boarding our dogs and training them with Dean for a couple years now. We wouldn't want to go anywhere else.
Great place! Very comfortable and relaxing environment.
The most beautiful shepherds!
