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
Chris was an outstanding pet sitter and I would definitely use him again! He is reliable, responsible, and thorough. I was able to FaceTime Chris prior to the sit and he spent a lot of time answering and asking questions. I felt confident after speaking with him. Throughout the weekend, Chris communicated clearly through texting. He let me know when he arrived and left which was helpful. He also sent photos and updates of both my cats. My boy cat has occasional anxiety issues which cause UTI's. Andy had a flare up while I was away and Chris was very attentive to him and let me know how he was doing. Chris did not seem to mind taking extra care of him which I very much appreciate. Chris left my house clean and even washed the sheets and towels he used before leaving!
Our review is written by Steven (house owner, host + my father) + also by Kim (the daughter). Written by Kim: This was our first house sit since the passing of my mother in late Dec 2023. I was helping my father Steven (whose profile it is) manage all the emails + try + find a great house sitter + came along Gretchen’s profile! Not only is she a cool cat + someone you might want to get to know, I found myself quickly talking to her. I shortly found out her profile is just a glimpse of how interesting she is but talking to her was so much better! She is a world traveler with many experiences + stories to share. We quickly became conversationalists who could talk forever + probably will continue to do so! Thank you TH! She is easy to communicate with + continued the consistent communication all along our journey of having her as our *first* guest after my mom’s passing. It was clearly a time filled with anxiety + sensitivity so there were some sensitive topics to go over + Gretchen got it right away. A few of our rooms in the house were off-limits (as they housed my mom’s things) but we reassured her the house has ample space for her to enjoy + there are many lovely outdoor spaces to boot! When she arrived she felt she was in paradise + really relished in the outdoor beauty + the indoor coziness. We were happy to share it with someone who appreciated it so much! She also was very understanding with the fact that both my dad + I would both be involved as we both handled different parts of the stay. Me, writing + setting up the Welcome Guide + would go over the situation but then upon her arrival my dad would take over + answer any questions mostly during her sit. The good part of having 2 people is she had accessibility to us both, in the case she needed it + sometimes it came up! She juggled all the communication oh so well. My mom usually handled most of the logistics so this being our first time we were nervous something would come up we might not know but it didn’t! It was new territory for us + we wanted to make sure she had everything. Gretchen handled it all with such ease, seamlessly, really respecting our wishes/desires + taking all the information into her hands + making it seem easy on her end to do so. She was easy to coordinate schedules with! There was a gap in her 1st + 2nd sit but everything went seamlessly even when my flight had a day long delay. She was able to coordinate schedules with me arriving in between, then leaving, my dad arriving different days + us extending the trip too. It all worked out! We were all a good team! She absolutely loved our older cat, Benny + he fast + furiously fell in love with her oh so easily. When I saw him, he looked oh so loved + after saying hi to me went over to ‘her’ bed + slept there waiting for her to come back. She sent many pictures, videos + even cute creations + toys she made for our Benny + it was obvious the house + our Benny were her first priority. She even asked us if she could help prune our flowers/shrubs, something my mom used to do + honestly it was an honor to hear her ask that. She was welcome to set up her art studio + play away. She was very communicative when our house cleaner, landscape gardener + house manager showered up for different reasons. When I arrived back for a short stint before she came back the 2nd time our mail was so well organized it was an assembly line! She also offered to take down our xmas tree (as we were a bit behind in taking down our xmas decorations) + she was sensitive to the fact that we were adjusting to a new normal. Thank you so much Gretchen! You made our first sit in a long time so seamless + such a relief that we are ready now to host again. We only wish we could have more Gretchen’s! (She’s also a super talented artist!) Written by Steven: Overall, Gretchen has been an absolute treasure. She has fulfilled our goals for a house sitter perfectly - she took good care of the house, great care of our treasured pet, Mr. Benny + took care of the grounds such as watering a few plants + trees. She excelled in all the above + is welcome back anytime I will be out of town in the future.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
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.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
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!
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.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
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, $22/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 demanding schnauzers and she took amazing care of them. I couldn’t be happier. I’d highly recommend her services to anyone with pets! She sends video and picture updates and that’s always a plus.
Pups ‘N US is AMAZING! I was new to the area and Tay was very welcoming to Donut and I. She is professional and passionate with the dogs. Donut loves her and her family which is her family away from home. Your money is well spent and is military friendly.
Maverick has been going regularly to Pups N Us since she was 10 weeks. It has been a great experience. Tay is always very friendly and you can tell she genuinely cares about all the pups. I highly recommend them for doggy daycare & boarding.
Very great experience! Tayshawn took amazing care of my fur baby. She sent pictures letting me me how he was doing. He was very happy staying there and I will definitely book again. Thank you for taking care of Levi for us
I booked a last minute boarding for my dog and was answered back immediately and booked. It was an amazing experience. I received daily messages, pics, and videos. I can tell my baby was loved and will definitely be booking again.
Thank God for Tay!! After loosing my 15 year old Yorkie and getting a 5 month old miniature Poole 2 weeks later I was very skeptical about leaving Jazzy with any one. Tay worked with me due to the fact I was unsure of my travel plans. Jazzy stayed Thursday evening until Sunday evening and threw the pictures I could see she had a ball. Tay is very professional, she sent text with updates and pictures of Jazzy with the other pups! Tay will definitely be my #1 pet sitter
I love, love, love, Pups N Us. It’s clean and welcoming. Tay is the puppy whisperer. She honestly cares for our lil ones. My puppy Scooby suffers from separation anxiety and I needed a daycare that was reliable and affordable, and I went through her page on the neighborhood app and felt confident I could trust her with my lil boy. If your looking for a doggy daycare look no further. Also he broke his wrist and I knew nothing about giving him his medication, she showed me how to administer it, and give him his flea drops, cause I’m a new pup owner and green as a tree. Scooby loves it there, and I can go about my day knowing he’s in great hands. Thank you Tay, I’m always grateful for you!🐶
Pups ‘N’ US! One word phenomenal! Tay is extremely patient, professional, and caring my seven month old yorkipoo was having a very tough time on day one. He had only ever been home with me so this new environment was challenging for both of us lol! He was barking, smelling her and trying to get to know this new area. This owner literally sat on the ground to sooth and comfort my pet!! not only to ease his mind, but also mine, she is extremely passionate about animals and it shows we have been coming now for over a week and I have seen a tremendous change in my pup! Trust me, your money is very well spent here!! Pups’N’US will continue to be at the home away from home for Bentley and I!!
Tay was awesome with mt dog Beau. She constantly updated me with pictures while I was away. I came back and Beau was happy to see but I could see that he liked Tay a lot. I would highly recommend Tay.
a blessing to have pups ‘n us in the community serving with such compassion and care. this is bella’s home away from home. bella sits at the door for a moment and then scratches on the door to let her in! bella is so happy 🐶 …
My dog gets beyond excited when she sees us pack up her things because she knows she’s going to stay at Kristan’s and that is her favorite thing to do. She stays excited on the ride and upon arrival. I love that she is in a great place and I love knowing she will be well taken care of. That gives me peace of mind. The cute videos and pictures they send help, too! I highly recommend Kristen’s Boarding!
Kristian has by far been the best experience for my 3 1/2 year old bully! She sends daily updates as well as videos. I can always tell by my dog's behavior and his appearance on how well he likes a particular sitter.. And he absolutely loves it at Kristian Boarding. And what I love most is that my guy Azore will sleep VERY GOOD after a stay at Kristian.. I highly recommend you try their services!!
We have been using Kristian’s Dog Care Services for the past 2 years and we love it! It is very convenient and easy to use her site. The price is affordable and worth the amount care that is given. Our 2 fur babies love their time there, sometimes we think they dont want to leave because they are having fun lol. Kristian is very professional & we love getting pictures and videos of our babies during their stay. It’s good to know that when we are away our babies are being take care of. Definitely would recommend.
Kristian Boarding has been great to my dog Pumpkin! Pumpkin sees Kristian and she lights up! Pumpkin gets so excited and cannot wait to get out of the car! That brings me great joy, because it lets me know my dog enjoys being there and is being treated well! Kristian's Boarding is great at keeping me informed of walks and play time with other dogs! I receive videos of play time and that's comforting to see while on travel!
Kristian's boarding is top-notch! I absolutely love this place and so does my dog, Coco. The taxi services they offer are excellent and make dropping off and picking up Coco a breeze. Every time he goes for doggy care, he comes back happy and well taken care of. The staff is responsible and even sends me updates about how he's doing, which gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend Kristian's boarding to anyone looking for a safe and loving environment for their furry friend. Thank you for all that you do!
My little baby boy Apollo is completely obsessed with going to board at Kristian’s home. Last time I picked him up he didn’t want to come home. He absolutely adores her, and she adores him, I love that she treats my baby like her own. I will always recommend Kristian for boarding your fur baby! Hey she even got my baby boy a sweatshirt that has “mamas boy” written on it!
Kristian’s Boarding we met a few years ago we wanted to get away for the weekend but we often worried about leaving our big fur baby with someone we could trust that would treat our big fur baby like us until we met Kristian she ease our worries her services are supreme at affordable prices. The fact that she loves her job makes it just that much easier when leaving my fur baby she communicates with daily messages and video pictures of your fur baby which I love. It helps me relax while I’m away from my big baby. She provides convenient pick up and drop off services for your fur baby who will enjoy daily walks play time in a big beautiful backyard if your fur baby likes to socialize with other dogs he or she will have the opportunity to meet and make new friends and if not he or she won’t miss a beat they will have the same opportunity for one on one time of fun and excitement if your fur baby is high energy like mines they can burn it off through the various games and activities that involve agility well what else can I say Kristian’s Boarding she is professional, considerate and is always looking for innovative ways to bring excitement to her business and the service of caring for your fur baby. If your looking for someone to take care of your fur baby STOP look no further make those vacation or business trips plans and reach out to Kristian’s Boarding today she is the best you will not be disappointed I guarantee it ❤️💯🐶😺
I have been taking my Gucci to Kristian for a litttle over 2 years now. I feel like my lil Gucci is going to his family house instead of a boarding stay. He get so excited when we pull up to Kristian’s home and when he see her he get even more excited! From the beginning when me and Gucci had our first enter action with Kristian I knew I picked a winner! Her facility for the dogs is awesome and her home is just as awesome! Kristian is very thoughtful and creative when it come to the dogs activities and she take pride in the care and love that she have for all her fury babies! She is the BEST!!!!!
This was my first time leaving my pup with Kristian! I was definitely satisfied. Kristian has sent me numerous pics and videos of my dog everyday leaving me with no worries. I highly recommend her services !!! 10/10
I absolutely love this place. Most importantly my fur babies love it as well. I have a 1.5 yrs old pit tie and a 8 year old maltipoo and I have been bringing here for over a year. They get so excited when we are coming down the street. Once the car stops they are ready to get out and never look back. The owners are very nice and always helpful and willing to make room for my babies if they can. They have been a life saver at times.
Heather is amazing! She has been walking our 6 year old goldendoodle for well over a year now. She comes twice a week and takes our dog Higgins on a 30 minute walk. She always updates us when she's on her way and texts the BEST post walk updates with a cute pic. She is so great with Higgins and works with him on his basic commands. Higgins LOVES her. Heather is a great communicator, extremely reliable, professional, friendly and definitely knows what she's doing. If you need a dog walker we cannot recommend her enough! Attached pic is from a post walk update!
Where to begin! Heather & Trey were incredible with our very high-energy border collie pup. It was our first time ever having a house sitter, and we had a lot of questions. From our very first interaction, they were extremely patient with us, answering questions and providing guidance. They made time to have a phone call + meet up twice before to ensure our pup was comfortable and familiar. Once we got on the trip, Heather gave so many detail updates — we would get recaps with the days’ events, with loads of photos and videos as well. Since it was the holidays we had left some presents, and Heather even sent videos of him opening his presents - too cute! They clearly worked hard to keep our pup on his schedule and in routines that work for him. We greatly appreciated that we also got insight into small behaviors — like if they noticed our dog was acting different or reacted to something — because we were able to provide insights along the way as well. On top of everything, Heather & Trey were great house guests. They helped with things like packages and keys, which made the overall process smooth and seamless. We came back to a happy, healthy pup and a very clean home. We are absolutely thrilled to have met Heather & Trey, and so is our pup! The quality of care and peace of mind exceeded our expectations, and we are already looking at future stays for upcoming trips.
10 stars would not be enough!!! Heather and Trey did an amazing job taking care of the pets, house, and plants for 16 days. I loved getting my daily updates and photos. They made sure to keep the dog and kitties schedules as normal as possible and probably even more fun then they would typically have had with me. Heather was very attentive to them and alerted me right away with any concerns that she had. When we ran out of one of the dog's supplements she offered to go get some more for her. I knew that they were in great hands while I was gone and that sense of security is priceless. Just returned from another great trip and once again the gang looks happier than when we left. Had some flight connection issues and got delayed for about 8 hours. Reached out to Heather and she could not have been more accommodating. She stayed late to make sure everyone got fed and that Darby got a nice walk so she would be tired when we finally rolled in. That kind of peace of mind is priceless!
Heather is the kindest, most loving and caring person ever!!! We had been searching for someone for our puppy and we are SO grateful we found her!!! Our puppy Ollie is nervous around new people and her and Trey took so much time and care to make sure he was comfortable and loved!! Our house was spotless when we came home and Ollie was the happiest, healthiest boy!!! Heather updated us every single day with the sweetest pictures and videos! We are so lucky and so appreciative to have found her!!!
Heather and Trey are first class! I have 15 animals-incl 11 geriatric sheep. Some need meds, one needs pellets- it's not easy. They took care of them like I would. They sent photos or video every day with reports of what they did and how the animals were. They picked up cat vomit and took the trash out tho I forgot to ask. They're really outstanding! I was visiting my sis-in-law and read her the reports. She said, "Wow! That is some pet sitter!" When we returned from our trip, our pets were their normal happy selves like we didn't even leave. That's how you know Heather and Trey are awesome at their jobs!
Heather is amazing! My dog Lincoln gives her 4 paws up and loves spending time with Heather. We’ve used her for walks and overnight stays and I can honestly say we consistently have the best communication, photos, and updates. Lincoln doesn’t care when I leave for work because she knows Heather is coming to see her. It’s truly wonderful having someone love and care for your dog the way heather does!
My wife and I have two mini dachshunds named Bindi and Fergie. We are very protective over them. We are so happy and relieved that we found Heather to take care of our girls. She is so kind and responsible. She goes out of her way to be sure all of her fur babies are loved and protected. She is the best!! ❤️🐾❤️ …
My young and energetic pitbull terrier mix can be a lot to handle, and Heather is so amazing with him! He gets so excited to see her. I’m always impressed with how far they go in such a short amount of time. I have to add that Heather consistently goes above and beyond when your dog is in her care. There have been a few times where Gongura’s behavior has been different than his baseline. In every instance, Heather has given him extra attention and kept me informed about his condition. I don’t know what I would do without her!
Heather and Trey are the best in the business. My wife and I have lived all across the US and nobody we've had taken care of our two large dogs has ever come close. They are always responsive, constantly providing updates and the house is always cleaner than we left it. 10/10 recommend!
Heather is a dog person. Of that there is no doubt. I know this because one of my dogs is very shy around humans. But not to Heather. He just was warm and friendly as soon as she showed up. Heather really cares about your dog and you will not worry about how they are doing while you are gone with Heather looking after you dog or dogs. You will have great peace of mind about being away because you know they are in good hands. She sends great pictures and reports about your dog or dogs.after every walk.
