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!
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
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.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
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. ⭐
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
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, $19/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 two Boston terriers that go to daycare at Red Dog. They absolutely LOVE going to play with their friends, and I can’t get them in the door quick enough! With a very high energy puppy, daycare has helped us tremendously. Even my anxious older Boston enjoys the socialization. The staff is great as well!
I took my dog there today for the first time for grooming. Jane was his groomer she did am excellent job on my dog. I had been to several groomers and no one could handle him. But Jane was able to give him the best hair cut and trim that he has had in about 10 months. I will definitely bring him back for all his grooming appointments.
Our dogs absolutely love Red Dog Pet Resort. The staff is always so pleasant, the groomer is AMAZING and we love boarding our boys. We typically get the villa and it’s great to see the boys on camera. They are able to board together, making them feeling more at home. We also love that there is a TV and a small door for them to go outside from their room. Highly recommended!!
Jane is great! She is very thorough and has great suggestions for grooming our pet at home between grooming visits. People in the reception area, when we dropped off our dog, were very attentive. Thanks for such great care for our Fiona!
We are fairly new to the Pet Resort experience and have used the services for a second time just last week for a quick over night stay in the Villa for our 3 pups. We love being able to check in on them on the camera. The staff is always very friendly and makes us feel comfortable to leave our babies in their care.
This was my pup’s very first boarding experience and I am beyond impressed with Red Dog Springdale. They really made me feel like my pup was in good hands. We will definitely use this service in the future.
This was our 1st time to visit and it was wonderful. Everyone is friendly, and professional. This was for grooming my Golden Retriever and Jane did a great job. I was able to speak with her before and explain specific things i wanted.
Red Dog took great care of our puppy. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and caring for our pup. We highly recommend and would take our pup back!
We LOVE Red Dog! Our Cocoa (who's almost 11) only goes two days a week but she is always greeted warmly and we are constantly told how good she is. She gets some exercise and love during the day when we are at work. Would absolutely recommend the Springdale location over and over again!
New customer at Red Dog and very impressed with our experience so far. I took a tour of the facility and it is super clean, the boarding room options are very nice as are the daycare playrooms, and the staff members are super friendly! I’ve taken my dog twice for daycare and at one drop-off, I asked to be shown the suites again because I need to decide which one I want for when he is boarded there soon, and they accommodated me with no hesitation. Just a really great place!
I won't let anyone care for my pup while we're away except for Melissa at Bed n Biscuit! Melissa treats my dog as she would her own. My dog has the best time at Bed n Biscuit; it's like a vacation for her! She goes on walks at the park, has 1 or 2 other dogs to play with at a time, and has a nice big fenced-in yard to run around in. My dog LOVES Melissa, and always seems sad for a few days after she comes back home because she misses being at Bed N Biscuit. I would recommend Melissa/Bed N Biscuit a million times over; we are so lucky to have found them!
I have never known such a caring pet sitter as Melissa, with Blue Ash Bed N Biscuit. The place is very clean and with a relaxing atmosphere. Melissa typically doesn't have more than four dogs at a time. Some dogs board for the day, and some overnight board for an extended period of time. My Papillion is a nervous little one, but she is very relaxed with Melissa. I highly recommend it.
Melissa is so wonderful! She takes such good care of my dog and we receive lots of communication and photos! She is truly a dog whisperer!
Great place to take your pup/dog for day care. My lil guy had a great time and she sent photos during his stay, updates of what he did during the day, and very accommodating to my dog’s need. I drove 30 minutes out of my way just to use Blue Ash Bed and Biscuits. I have no problem doing that drive again knowing my lil guy is in great care.
Melissa is a true dog lover. She cares for my pup as if she's her own! Emma really looks forward to going there and im at peace knowing she's not only being taken care of but getting a whole lot of lovin! Thanks Melissa!!
Wonderful care in a loving home! Perfect answer for my rescue who had severe separation anxiety when we adopted him! Now this is his “other mom” 🐾🐾 …
Thank you Ophi!
Thank you,Amy!
Muriel has watched our cat ever since we moved to Cincinnati. While our cat often takes a bit of time to warm up to new people, she warmed up to Muriel right away which I think is a testament to her friendliness and warm nature. While it's always a little sad to go on a trip and not be able to take your pet along with you, we're happy to know that she is in good hands while we are gone.
Muriel takes such good care of our two cats when we are gone. She genuinely cares for their wellbeing and happiness. She is reliable and an excellent communicator. We appreciate that she always sends pictures of our cats so we can see what they are up to! Highly recommended.
I highly recommend Muriel as a pet sitter. Muriel took excellent care of my cat Raven. Raven instantly bonded with her, so I felt very comfortable leaving Raven in her care. Muriel was so kind to Raven, and every day she texted pictures and videos of Raven during her daily visits. She spent lots of time during each visit, keeping Raven company and helping Raven feel loved in my absence. Raven had kidney disease and eventually lost her fight against kidney failure. During Raven’s illness, Muriel was kind and caring enough to check in with me to see how Raven was doing - and how I was doing. I really appreciated that. I give Muriel my highest recommendation.
Muriel took fantastic care of our dogs. It's clear she loves animals and they are are very warm and friendly to her which is most important to us.
Muriel is a wonderful pet sitter ! She is wonderful and kind to all pets. She loves pets and communicates well. She is always on time and send pics to make sure you don't miss your kitty! I highly recommend her!
Muriel is the best pet sitter I have ever had!! We travel out of the country, and she is always helpful and flexible, even at the last minute! She sends you pics of your pets and spends hours with them to make them feel not alone in your absence. She brings them toys and treats, and they love her. So lucky to have Muriel :-) I would strongly recommend her services.
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Muriel was with my cats. She truly loves animals and is the best pet sitter I have ever met. She takes great care of my cats, pays attention to details and is very flexible and accommodating with her services. The picture/video updates were a great perk. I usually worry about my cats when I travel for work, but with Muriel I know they are in knowledgeable and loving hands. I would recommend Muriel without a doubt to anyone.
Muriel recently took care of my cat Emmy while I was on vacation. She spent time every day playing with her, feeding her and grooming her. I got daily photo or video updates, and I thought that was a really fantastic feature. Muriel kept a "kitty diary" of what they did every day, eating habits, and what her demeanor was like. She was so thorough, and it is obvious how much she loves animals and animals love her. Very professional, reliable, and she's just a great human being. I would highly recommend Muriel!
Muriel(Pet Nanny/Mommy) is the best! She is dependable, conscientious, and loving to my Maggie Moo. Every day, I get a detailed report on how she did for the day. My dog absolutely adores her and I never worry while I’m at work as I know she is in the best hands. If there is anything abnormal with Maggie, Muriel will contact me immediately. It is clearly not a job, but Muriel’s passion. We love her❤️
Muriel is a wonderful dog walker. She loves our little one and takes good care of him. She is very professional, writes down notes for me of anything that happened on the walk or that I may need to be aware of. We have a tricky schedule with my husband working in the ER and she is extremely accommodating and always communicates with me, which I find very helpful. We are so happy to have found Muriel and would recommend her to anyone. She is definitely an animal lover!
We left our pup, Lexi, there for a few days recently. She was very well taken care of! Friendly people, nice facilities. No hesitation in using them again!
I have boarded my dogs here for many many years. The owners are wonderful and care deeply for every “guest“. I have animals that need medication, no problem. Need extra walks, no problem. The price is very fair and includes food.
Richard is aces! They go the extra mile. I have zero concerns with the care provided!
Great Kennel to take our Boston's to. Richard and Emily have become like part of our family and Clara (pork chop) and Lou love them.
I've had my dog for almost 9 years. Very scared to leave her anywhere. I met the owners and saw their facilities, both was very nice. My dog did great there. Definitely will leave her here again if the need arises
We always board our dog here. And we love it. But must importantly, our dog loves it! He goes in very happy whenever we drop him off. Would recommend 100%
Very nice people that run the place! Very caring and take their time with you and your dogs needs. Will definitely return if in the area.
Our dogs have stayed at St. Francis several times and I highly recommend them. My dogs are treated like family and I have full confidence in their care while we are away. Additionally, our youngest dog has been there for dog training and the results were fantastic! We were really struggling with potty training and Melody's knowledge and dog behavior expertise was exactly what our dog Dolly needed. Melody has the knowledge and insight to help our family get Dolly signaling to go out and she explained how to properly reward her. She also was extremely helpful in assisting us with setting boundaries for the dogs and even the proper placement of their crates. Melody even went beyond potty training and helped Dolly walk properly on her leash. She walks by our side and does not pull. If you are looking for a kennel or dog trainer, I definitely recommend Melody and the Kennels of St. Francis. They know all about dogs, their behavior and proper rewarding. No shock collars needed with their training methods! Excellent place and experience!
The owners and staff are filled with knowledge and a true love of animals. The pricing is very fair (food is included) and my dog LOVES being there. It's about 20 minutes south of Florence and worth the drive! Highly recommended!!!
Selected this place because of the environment and they will walk the dogs for a fee. Requested a walk each day for my dog and was more than willing to pay their $10/walk fee. When I returned from vacation was told he was not walked even once over 9 days. My dog is socialized with kids, adults, and numerous other dogs. Never once have had an issue with him and any person, of any age. If they cant walk my dog, then good luck. Very disappointed!!! I will not bring my animals back and do not recommend this place if you have an active breed. This review is simply my opinion and if you choose this place I hope your experience is different.
Tim and Laura always take great care of our dog. Securely fenced backyard. Plenty of room for the dogs to spread out between the house, basement and outside.
I'm sure this is place is nice but you can't reach anyone by calling and when you leave a message they don't call you back. I called twice and left 2 messages. I got no return phone call so I had to find another place. We won't be using them.
I love that my dogs are not crated and confined here. They come home happy and tired.
Would not leave my dogs anywhere else!!
Dave at LuvPets is AMAZING!! For the past 10 years he has cared for our horses, dogs, cat, and, for a time, goldfish, while we were away or at times when we've been too busy. Dave knows large and small animal care well. He communicates well and often both before and during care. He is super responsible and attentive always going above and beyond in care, like cleaning water troughs, taking dogs for extra long walks, noticing when a horse might have gotten a rock in their shoe, etc. For any sort of animal care (and house care--Dave helps water our garden while we're away too!) Dave at LuvPets is the best in the business. Your animals will be as well cared for and loved!
Have used this service twice, for a total of about 12 days. Reliable and professional. Dave got my mail and took out my garbage. My pets are happy when we come home. I will use again in the future.
Luvpets is the best. We've used them several times and will continue to do so in the future. They are awesome and go way above and beyond.
The staff is friendly, and they are great with the dogs. It's always hard to leave our dog for a few days, but we know they'll take great care of him! The facility is kept very clean. They even post photos of the dogs on Facebook so you can see how things are going. We highly recommend!
Our pups stayed for a week over Thanksgiving. They got a special dinner in Thanksgiving. They came home groomed and exhausted. I would say it was a success. The staff was kind and helpful. They quickly respond to questions and upfront with pricing.
Very happy with this business. We needed a place for my dog to stay for a week(on short notice). Make sure your pet is up to date on shots. We found out the day we arrived that there is a special shot for "boarding" and we had to get this done. Great people and it seems like this is a family run business. We will be back.
I love Red Barn its wonderful. They take great care of my Chihuahua. I don't even worry about her while we're gone because I'm so confident that she is in good hands.
I took my little dog here for the 1st time over the weekend. I was referred to them by close friends who take their dogs there. I am so pleased with this facility!! They treated my dog so well. I will definitely be using this resort again! Thank you, Red Barn!
We love Red Barn Kennels! Our little furbaby Simba enjoys staying there as well. The staff is always so kind. It's a relief to know he's well taken care of when we're unable to bring him with us on our travels.
Well, we went to visit the Red Barn Pet Resort in West Harrison, Indiana this morning. AMAZING!!! CLEAN! Clean looking, clean smelling! We were so impressed. We were feeling horrible about having to leave our buddy, Dutch, for a few days and now we just feel kinda bad. LOL. What a class act operation. The owner and staff were delightful. It is equipped with large kennels, grooming, free space, fenced runs and is layed out to accommodate winter and summer conditions for the “babies”. They have a doggie ice cream truck! What? I wonder if he drives real slow playing music watching them all run after him 😛 Thank you for the tour and a big piece of mind. Dave and Sandra G.
I had a tour of the facility and was very impressed. Lots offered for my dog and was extremely clean. I look forward to using thus place for my dog
My grand dog is high maintenance and difficult but she really does SO well with the staff here. It's super clean and makes me feel our pets are safe.
They took amazing care of our dogs! They even emailed me right away when I sent an email to check on them which surprised me because it was kind of late! They definitely will be my go to kennel for our dogs from now on!!!
