Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
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!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
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"!
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
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!!:)
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
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, $10/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.

Love this location and the people. They are always super nice and accommodating. The fur baby loves it too!
The best kennel we have ever used. The dogs are always excited when pull up. Friendly staff that communicates wonderfully. We are so lucky to have such a great facility in West Salem.
Such a wonderful place and setup for our Sophie Bear. She is so very excited to visit and is so happy and well cared for when we pick her up. Thank you for providing such a wonderful safe loving home away from home. Highly recommend. 😍💖
Really cool place with tons of room for the dogs to run and play. The people are also very friendly. Excited that my dog can go somewhere where he'll be able to have fun while we are away.
Great place! Took my dog there for daycare and he loved it. Lauren does a great job and understands dogs. Will definitely be returning.
My dogs love this place. Prices are fantastic. They take great care of all of my dogs, and they come home exhausted from all the fun they have had.
They take good care of our dog Dutch every time she's there.
Great facility for dogs, country atmosphere. Very nice staff. My dog likes coming here.
Our pup likes it here. Staff is very nice and caring.
Checked business out today for upcoming trip. Place looked clean and well kept up. Will definitely use in the future.
Erin is extremely knowledgeable and dependable!!! She treats every pet like they’re her own, she loves on my dogs as if they’re her dogs!! I highly recommend SPS to anyone who wants that close-to-home feel with your pets.
I’m very pleased to have found Sunshine Pet Services! Erin’s professionalism and communication immediately put me at ease. Erin is very thorough and it’s evident that she has my pet’s best interest in mind. She’s always seeking to ensure he is happy and safe. I really appreciate Erin’s text message updates and pictures each visit as they help remove the stress and worry that comes from leaving pets behind. After returning, I can tell from my cat’s demeanor that he has been well taken care of and given a good amount of attention. Without a doubt, I will continue using Erin’s services for future trips, thanks Erin!!
Erin did an absolutely incredible job taking care of our bunny and cat, as well as our yard! We appreciate her attention to detail, enthusiasm to care for our fur babies, and daily communication updates while we were away. Erin is responsible, dependable, and went above and beyond caring for both our pets and home. We had such a relaxing vacation knowing our girls were in such good hands. We look forward to seeing you again soon, Erin! Thank you!
I've worked with Sunshine twice and have been incredibly pleased both times. Erin is kind and thorough and sends the best detailed updates about her drop ins with my pets (cats, chickens, and fish) and plants. She's flexible and accommodating and it's clear how much she cares about and loves what she does. I'm so glad to have found Erin and her business!
We had Erin take care of our cat (drop-in visits) while we were on vacation. We were immediately impressed with Erin's professionalism and diligence in getting everything set up, learning about our cat, and ensuring a successful pet sitting experience via a questionnaire. Erin took great care of our cat and provided very thorough text updates and pictures while we were on vacation. We would recommend this service to anyone, and the best part is it all took part in our pet's home! Erin, thank you for your service, we will absolutely be back and book with you again!
Erin is AMAZING! Where do I begin?! Erin has been dog sitting my dog Maggie for a couple months now. Erin is very professional, punctual, and most importantly she is great with communication. Erin has very reasonable pricing for her hard work ethic. She is most concerned for the pet's well being. I'm so happy to trust Erin with my fur baby and with my apartment. My husband and I both work full time jobs so Erin eases our anxieties of having to leave our dog alone for too many hours. Erin is very flexible and has always been able to meet our needs and my pet's needs. I would definitely recommend Erin to any pet owner. Thank you Erin for all you do! I'm happy to continue having you care for my fur baby! ❤
I haven't used Sunshine Pet Services... yet... I had planned to and will but wanted to give Erin 5 stars so far because of her impeccable customer service so far: my x-mas plans fell through so I decided- why not? let's head to Vegas! Completely last minute but had to make sure my guys were all set so contacted Erin to see if she was available to come over and feed them while I was away. Unfortunately I've had a medical issue that I was ignoring prove to not want to be ignored and I need to stay close to home but she was Very responsive and understood that my plans were coming together fast with planning a last minute trip and did everything she could to accommodate me. We didn't actually meet but that she responded to Every email immediately as I was trying to set things up was very helpful and that is really a good sign for me that she is the one that When I do get to go on vacation, she will be the one I will trust to take care of my dear ones. Also- I don't know who designed her website but it is fabulous! Very clear- very comprehensive. Thanks Erin!
Erin is the best pet sitter we could ever ask for. She is dependable and takes great care of our kitties. Receiving a thorough and individualized text each day with photos of our babes provided us with a peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend Erin more!
I am beyond pleased that I found Erin and Sunshine Pet Services! Erin's calm and friendly demeanor eased my anxieties of leaving my cherished pet with someone new. I have never seen Jade "play" with another dog before. However, after just a few minutes at Erin's place, Jade was playing tug of war with her dog Audrey. Erin sent me frequent updates and pictures depicting how Jade's stay was going, which were greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for quality, reliable and friendly pet services. Thank you Erin for taking such good care of Jade this past weekend! Her nail trim looks beautiful too!
Erin is awesome! She is hard working, professional and skilled at what she does. I feel very fortunate to have found her and recommend her to anyone looking for services for their pets.
