. 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.
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!
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
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!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
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, $19/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!
Let me first start off with saying Shawniece is amazing! She is so kind and sweet! I never worried when out fur baby Paco was in her care. Recently we found out that Paco is one of the causes of our youngest severe allergies so we made the tough decision to rehome him. I reached out to Shawniece as she mentioned the last time we spoke that she now does transports. This lady is awesome she came and picked Paco up and delivered him to his new owner. Mary even spoke of how much a delight Shawniece was! If you are going to trust anyone with your furbaby/ies with anyone it should be Shawniece! Oh did I mention she also bakes doggy treats, and has a package to bathe your furbaby! I am so sad our journey has ended, but if I were to ever get another pup I will make sure to bring them to Shawniece!
We consistently engage the services of Mountaineer Mutts for our dog-sitting needs, and the experience has been exceptional. Judy, the owner, demonstrates remarkable understanding and flexibility in accommodating us without hesitation, particularly when we require late pickups for our dog due to unforeseen circumstances. We always strive to provide her with advance notice, and she accommodates our requests graciously. Judy treats our dog, Rocky, with great care and has fostered a significant bond with him. He shows evident excitement each time we arrive, as if he recognizes he is going to a place he enjoys. We cannot recommend her services highly enough and are undoubtedly committed to continuing our relationship with her in the future. If you are in search of a reliable dog sitter, we wholeheartedly endorse Mountaineer Mutts to our friends and family.
Our dogs have boarded here a couple times, and I have nothing but positive things to say. Friendly staff who clearly care about other people's pets!!
We love Mountaineer Mutts! Judy and employees do a great job grooming our cocker spaniel. He always comes out looking and smelling great. She even caught an ear infection one time, and I was able to take him to the vet before it got too uncomfortable for him.
Our dog is treated very well, like family, here. Prices are very reasonable and accommodations are great for our pup. Always easy to schedule our dogs stay!
Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place for boarding your baby. We put our baby girl in here for 8 days while taking vacation this past week and when my husband went to pick her up today, he said he walked in the door with excuses immediately thrown at him, which is already a huge red flag. He was informed that her skin is apparently sensitive and how difficult she was to bathe (we were told she hates water. I have videos of her happily playing in a creek that says otherwise), which we've never had a problem with before. Before my husband even got to really see her, he was told all of these things, which is really unsettling. As he was leaving, the owner told my husband that if he ever needed anything, we could always bring her back, just not to get a bath. I mean, isn't that part of their actual job? Once he got her into the car, he noticed these awful spots above her front paws, which we can only assume is the "sensitive" part of her skin. It's hard to say what caused this, but this has never been seen on her before. Once he got her into our home, I immediately noticed that she had blood coming from one of her paws that was getting all over the floor. She's come back very skittish and flinches easily at any quick movement around her, which is just not our baby. I'm very sad to think that I left our baby a whole week with people that didn't take care of her the way that she needed. I would not recommend.
Judy is just amazing. We needed someone to watch our boys and she was eager to help. She is always kind and friendly to us and our animals. The facility is well maintained, she makes sure all animals are up to date on shots prior to boarding. I know my dogs are in safe hands while we are away.
They've done my Lily a few times. She's a Havanese from Cuba. They've done wonders with her when they groom her as well. She seems to like them. We like them and they say that she's great to groom. No fidgeting at all.
Wonderful place! Judy takes care of my babies like they are her own! It's nice not having to worry about them when we go out of town. Great prices too, highly recommend!!
Judy took awesome care of my dog. He really likes it there and loves her. Only person I would trust to care for my baby when I'm away. I would recommend her for all your boarding and grooming needs.
I just took my fear aggressive dog to Judy to meet her ahead of boarding to see if we could even leave her there since she's been unsocialized due to recent world events. Judy took the time to make her feel secure and safe and I cannot express in words how much it means that she was able to interact with our dog (and to help me feel more confident about her ability to adjust to the situation.) Other boarders just turned us away over the phone. Judy saved our vacation, its as simple as that. SHE SAVED OUR VACATION. I will update after boarding to let you know how wonderful that experience went as well, because I am sure it will also go perfectly!
