Can't recommend Meghan and Scott more highly. Highly responsible, kind, and communicative. Our dogs loved them.
Roger and Cozette took wonderful care of "my old man" Hyde for 3 weeks - I have nothing but praise for them! Organization ahead of their stay was flawless. They were attentive as I explain how things worked and I felt very comfortable leaving them with my apartment and cat. During my trip I received daily photos of Hyde via Whatsapp. He was clearly very comfortable with them and it was also clear that they both spend a lot of time hanging out with Hyde. They are clearly 'cat people' who bonded well with Hyde. On my return I found a contented cat that was not nearly as stressed as when I've been away without a live-in cat-sitter. I also found the apartment cleaner than when I left it (thank you!) and everything in place. So THANK YOU Roger and Cozette - I can't think how we could have made this work more smoothly, and I hope they can look after Hyde again in the note too distant future.
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 19.99 per visit, 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!
Joanne and her family are amazing with our 3 cocker spaniels and they’ve had a fantastic time staying with them. Myself and partner have just been away on holiday and this is the first time in the 6 years we’ve had our pups that we’ve been away from them so it goes without saying that we were quite anxious in doing so. We loved Joanne’s boarding service as we knew they were going to be in a nice, warm, family environment that was like a home away from home for them as the idea of kennels was a no go for us. Prior to our pups stay with Joanne, we had a couple of trial visits to ensure they would settle nicely with her and her family (which they did and loved staying) and Joanne was very thorough with collecting all details / feeding plans / emergency contacts / vet details etc, which put our minds to rest knowing they were in such safe hands. When we came to pick them up they didn’t want to leave which just shows how happy and comfortable they all were! We will most definitely only be boarding our pups with Joanne in the future. Thank you so much! Anthony & Ben
We recently entrusted our two cockerpoo’s to Joanne’s care while we were away, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we met Joanna, it was clear that she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Her warm and attentive demeanor immediately put our pets at ease. Throughout their stay, Joanna provided regular updates, complete with photos allowing us to see just how happy and well-cared-for our dogs were. They received plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection, and it was evident that Joanne treated them as if they were her own. We highly recommend Joanne to anyone in need of a caring and reliable dog boarder. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional choice. Thanks again. Jade
My 2 Dogs stayed with Joanne for 2 weeks. A 4 year old Lab and a 2 year old energetic cocker. I was kept up to speed daily with photos and anything needed. Collected them this morning and was worried they wouldn’t want to come home. Already booked my next slot and looking at 2024 now.
We found Joanne via FB after reading some amazing reviews. Audrey, our spaniel is a rescue and Joanne took time to get to know her and gain her trust. Having used Joanne several times this year, Audrey jumps over the wall and is very happy to walk in alone. Joanne kindly keeps us updated with regular photographs. We are already booked in for several visits up to December 2024! It’s a big thing to find someone who is so lovely who we trust. Highly recommended for home from home care and attention 🐶❤️
We spent a long time looking for the perfect person to care for our fur baby. You want the reassurance that when you leave them that they will settle and be happy and safe. You wouldn’t just leave your child with anyone and that’s how we felt about leaving Helga. Jo is the one of the kindest and most patient people you could meet. Our girl didn’t settle straight away, she was anxious as we’d never left her with someone who wasn’t family. Jo supported us and Helga and now it’s just amazing. When I mention Jo’s name, the tail wags and she’s ready to go for her adventures. We are very lucky to have found Jo and I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for doggy daycare 🐶🐾
Joanne has looked after my dog Wilbur for over 6 months. Wilbur loves going there & has lots of fun. Joanne is reliable, flexible and great at what she does. I would highly recommend her.
Joanne provides the best daycare for my dog Gilly. She has her weekly and for overnight boarding and would highly recommend her to everyone. Gilly absolutely loves to go and Joanne always puts their safety first!
A lovely homely environment. Our cockapoo is well cared for and we are very happy to leave her with Joanne. Joanne takes the doggies for regular walks and often shares photos of these walks with the pet owners.
Would highly recommend Jo at Unleashed Pet Services. I can leave my dog knowing he will get lots of walks, treats and play time! He loves going and gets so excited when he gets out of the car! Thank you Jo for taking such good care of Bailey. I love how you treat the dogs in your care as a family pet. Thank you
Jo gets my 100% 5 star grade. My dogs love going to her as day placement and residential. Nothing is too much trouble and she is very caring to the dogs. Always flexible and attentive to needs. Thank you Jo, Sheila
