Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
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. ⭐
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
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. 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’ve been taking my dogs here for daycare and grooming. The staff is so friendly and welcoming! Any questions I asked they answered happily. I will forever take my four legged babies here!
We’ve only used them twice but both times have been great. The staff is friendly and welcoming. My dog always seems to have a great time and comes back happy and wiped out. The only thing I wish was different was the option to add photos/videos while the dogs are there. I totally understand that the staff is busy but just would love to see my pup while away. Regardless we will totally be using their service again…in fact we’ve already booked our next reservation!
We started bringing my Standard Poodle here for grooming about a year ago, when there was a wait to get with the mobile pet groomer. It was supposed to be a one-time thing, but Ashlyn does such a great job that she has become our permanent groomer. Our Poodle is large - 72 lbs, and she does a wonderful job all over. She's always open to new ideas and is very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Hanover Your Pet for grooming!
First time boarding my unfriendly cat with Hanover Your Pet. The staff was friendly and showed me the cat room where she would stay. Facility was very clean and there were a few cats already there along with many dogs by the sound of them!! The price was reasonable and was $15.00 per day less than the one behind Hanover Green Veterinary clinic!! I would happily take my cat there again and recommend them!
Took my two pups here to board them for a weekend. They got lots of attention, lots of playtime, and we're well taken care of and fed. I will definitely bring my dogs back.
Boarded my cat here for 7 days, called on the 2nd day to check on her & they told me she had the sniffles, to which I told them to call me if it got any worse. My phone broke after this, but there was another number on file plus the emergency contact. My cat didn't eat THE LAST 4 DAYS she was in their care & they didn’t call either of the numbers. Got her back dehydrated and starving and covered in drool, her breath smelled terrible and the vet believes her kidneys started to fail, waiting on bloodwork results. We believe she will recover but she ate immediately when she came home & this has never happened before when boarding her at other places so it’s hard to believe this wasn’t incompetence. They also forgot to give me back her blanket and wet food cover that I had to go back for. Failed to communicate on so many levels professionally and medically, will never be back. Please take this as a warning to not bring your cat here
Absolutely wonderful experience for me and my pets. Personable, safe, clean, and timely.
We recently boarded our dog here for 4 days. He came home with kennel cough. My biggest issue is with the lack of communication from staff. When we picked him up he was obviously not well yet they had him running around with other dogs outside. Staff said nothing to us. I find it hard to believe they did not notice the symptoms.
Our Collie and Golden Retriever love it here! They stayed for 9 days while we were on vacation. We paid extra for pool time everyday and they loved it. The cost for boarding is very reasonable. The day care rate seems a little high, but the dogs are happy so we use it when we need to. Staff is great! Manager is awesome! Overall 2 thumbs up. Haven't used the grooming services yet, but just might try them next time!
We've used several boarding places for our pup, but this one is our favorite. We've really had great experiences boarding our dog, Brooke, here. Their groomers also do a fantastic job with her as well!
A great experience for our dog. He was there for a practice day and night then for 11 days. He had no issues- staff were loving to him.and reassured us that he would be fine since this was his first time being boarded other than staying with friends!
They are wonderful to my dog Augustus and very accommodating. I always feel at ease knowing he is safe, happy, and well taken care of with them. I highly recommend them. Thank you!
Another job completed. Help assist a customer to order leaf springs for his RV. I did not have time myself to do the repair but I got him under way and helpers him to locate the parts with initial visit with my mobile service so hopefully he is on his way. I asked him to reach out if he needed anything else and he confirmed all was going well. I was able to help him and the tech with the slight size difference and understanding of the aftermarket parts so I’m assuming all went well. Very nice gentleman and the place overall seemed like a great place from what I could take from his description of what they do there. Dog racing and other events. Seems like fun. I wish him the best of luck and I am definitely interested in visiting myself now and maybe bringing my dog or calling for more information. Beautiful spot and over all sounds like a good time!! Here is a picture of what had happened. This had broke and I was able to quickly locate two of them so he could get back on the road. Feel free to visit my page as well if your in need of any vehicle repairs problem we do it all!! Best of luck to this gentleman and I am sorry I stay so busy but at least I could get him started and on his way on time!! Good to here!! He works at here he explained. No need to put all of his information out but spoke highly of Dude Ranch and was a very understanding and hard working gentleman. Regards.
I dropped off my German Shepherd on a Friday and toured the facility before I handed her over. I cannot RAVE enough about how SPOTLESS this place was even with an almost packed house. There was zero smell that's what I noticed immediately... not even a chemical air freshener scent... it was just CLEAN!. Every dog had water & blanket/bed and seemed happy and the walls between them were solid which I thought was great because they couldn't fight or spread germs between bars. I opted for the Luxury Suite for my dog and it was so POSH! She had a toddler bed with mattress, blankets, & pillow. a toy shelf FULL of toys and a TV!!!! Did I mention turndown service with a treat on her pillow, how adorable is that? I also liked the fact that she had a Dutch door instead of the wire grid so it had more of a homey feel instead of a kennel. I can't imagine ANYONE being unhappy with this facility or any of the staff members! They even sent me pictures when I called to check on her.... I would GLADLY take her back. When I picked her up she was happy, clean, and just as clean as when I dropped her off! I've attached the picture they were kind enough to send me!
Great place. I take my 100 pound Doberman there and he loves it! He always comes back in good shape and loves the play groups. The staff who take him in and out seem to know him and his goofy quirks. The reservation form is annoying but this place has openings and availability and friendly and competent staff. I am glad they are vigilant about vaccines and checking for fleas.
During my dog's stay at your facility, he unfortunately suffered a significant tongue injury, which resulted in a laceration that measured 3/4 inches across and went completely through the tongue. While I understand that accidents can happen, I am deeply concerned by the lack of timely communication and proper attention given to my dog's injury. It is evident that the staff acknowledged the severity of the injury to some extent, as they provided basic first aid. However, I was not informed about the incident nor was a veterinarian consulted in a timely manner. This oversight becomes all the more alarming given the noticeable alteration to my dog's tongue, which resembled that of a lizard! Moreover, it appears that the injury caused prolonged bleeding, which again raises questions about the level of care and attentiveness provided by the staff. Following a veterinarian visit, surgery, and a considerable financial expense, my dog is now on the road to recovery. However, had the situation been addressed with appropriate urgency and care, his healing process and trauma would likely have been significantly reduced. I must express my disappointment and concern regarding the apparent disregard for the health and safety of the animals entrusted to your care. I sincerely hope that steps will be taken to improve the communication and attentiveness provided to the pets and their owners in the future.
We absolutely love this place - and so does our chocolate lab! He hops right out and cannot wait to go inside and play with his friends. It's great for us to be able to travel now knowing our four-legged loved ones are in Loving Hands. Thank you dude ranch!:-)
My 2 little dogs love Dude Ranch! They are always excited when we drop off but obviously pleased to be coming home at pick up! The staff are extremely helpful and polite.
Went out of state for 6 days and they took great care of my frenchie! Came home spotless and received his medication on time. They also sent me photos of my pet while I was away, so that was very nice. Great place overall!
Love this place, have been using it for several years now. It's run by true animal lovers and they treat my pets like their own. My dogs always go enthusiastically, and they seem happy and normal when I pick them up. Someone is always on site. I also appreciate the fact that they don't charge extra to give medications. Before I found Dude Ranch, another place was charging a dollar per pill, which really added up for my older dog.
