Halisi and Ric were so great. Really kind and warm, and took great care of our cat, Diego, while we were away. We were on a camping trip with no access to phone or internet, and still felt very comfortable knowing Halisi and Ric were watching and caring for Diego. We also came home to a super clean home, which was a huge plus after a long week. Would absolutely recommend Halisi & Ric to watch your pets!
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?

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 had to board two of my pets, a 6 mo old puppy and a cat who gets medication twice a day for the weekend due to a wedding. Things could not have gone better. Both were well taken care of. Eli, the cat, was shy and withdrawn at first but the staff said he soon warmed up to them. Louie, the puppy, had a blast and made a ton of new friends. We will definitely use them again if the need arises. Top notch facility.
Pawspa is not only a great place for your pets but they have a fantastic business model that is affordable. The staff truly cares about the animals and it’s obvious they enjoy what they do. Our doodle, Goldie comes back better behaved (and tired!!!) after a fun day or few hours at pawspa. We have also used their boarding and grooming services and have been impressed. 10/10 recommend!
The staff at The Paw Spa is wonderful! I take my dog there to get groomed and it is the best grooming experience I have ever had. Finnegan always smells good and feels extra soft. Highly recommend!
Yesterday was the first time we put our dog Rooney in daycare so my wife and I were definitely a little anxious. Everyone at Hounds Town made us and Rooney feel welcome and at ease. They did a great job explaining their process and answered any questions we had. We received updates upon requests and got many happy pictures of our dog. When we got Rooney back, she had the biggest smile on her face and was thoroughly tired (which is a difficult thing to accomplish for her). We will definitely be using Hounds Town and their various locations pretty consistently.
My dog had a fantastic time at Hounds Town Strip and I feel 100% comfortable and excited to bring her there whenever I want (no booking necessary for daycare)! They are experts with dogs and their approach to pack play is brilliant! They are quick and friendly and efficient with dropoff and pickup, while also engaging the owners (moms and pops) in a community-centric way. They will remember your dog’s name the instant they see them, and treat them very well 🐶💛
Wonderful experience at HoundsTown - Pittsburgh (Strip District). As a native Pittsburgher (and a worker downtown), I wanted to find a good spot for my lil' doggo to go during the day while I am at work. Stella has been here a few times now and each time, on the way home, she is out like a light -- exhausted from her play day at HoundsTown Town. Beyond this, the team has been super helpful and accommodating to this dog dad -- so I could not be happier with their service.
Very good..when the director saw my pup needed a little bit of a different pace when introducing to a pup friend she improvised. She was warm and kind to my pup and answered all my questions and it gave me peace of mind he will be well taken care of when he goes there in a month.
Staff is always so wonderfully kind, caring and communicative! You can tell they really love the animals and that gives us such a peace of mind when we board our pups there! It’s also so nice that they post so many pictures daily so we can see our fur babies having fun while we’re away! The bathing and grooming optional services they provide are an excellent addition so our pups come home nice and fresh!
I saw a Facebook invitation to have a First Free daycare day for my Dog. 1st, you could fill out information online which makes you appreciate that the facility is thorough. 2nd, there is an evaluation of your specific dog, energy level, age, personality. 3rd, if you haven't already, you provide vet information to show they have the needed vaccines and up to date. 4th, your dog meets quickly with another dog they feel is a good fit (out in front, where you are ) I met with three people and so did my pup. Now, all I have to do is take her down for her Free day. I have never boarded, daycare and even rarely dark parked. I was intrigued by this invitation. I might need it someday. Without this invitation I would have never checked it out. Thank you for that and I slightly nervously look forward to bring my Precious Girl down for the day.
We love our friends at Hounds Town! The amazing staff gives us peace of mind, whether it be for a day of daycare or a weekend of boarding. Seriously - this staff is something special, and if you’re looking for people that go the extra mile for your pet, you’ll find it at the Town. Their regular updates on how your pet is doing is much appreciated, and our boy always comes home happy, healthy, and exhausted. We love not having to make reservations for day care, and how easy drop off and pick up is. We just love Hounds Town!
Everyone is so lovely at Houndstown. I also love how they upload pictures of all the dogs each day! It makes it easier to be away from them.
This HoundsTown location does an amazing job of day care and boarding for our two pups. The whole staff is super nice, professional, and accommodating. We know they are in good hands! The pups always come back home happy and tired.
I have been taking my dog Bruno here for a year. He has attended day care and has stayed overnight. Hounds Town has an active Instagram page and Facebook page where they post pictures (daily) of your dog playing with other dogs. They are also very attentive if you message them on either of those platforms. Cody and his staff are the best. They are all really friendly and you can tell they love what they do. Pricing is pretty reasonable compared to other dog kennels. There are other locations as well, I would give those a try if the Strip is too far for you. 10/10 would recommend this place to a pet owner.
