. 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.
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
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"!
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
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.
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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!
My two dogs stayed here for a long weekend while I moved into my new home. The place was absolutely spotless and no odor…amazing! My dogs were well-taken care of and it is such a beautiful property. The owners are lovely and easy to contact for reservations. I also appreciate the flexibility for pick up and drop off times. Reasonable prices too. Will definitely return for future dog boarding.
After trying other kennels in the area, we very happily have been using the Kennels at Winterpock since shortly after they opened. Although our dog is not the best behaved, she is very content with the clean environment here and the expert care and attention showered upon her from the moment of arrival. The family-owned scenario provides great care and flexibility to meet your travel plans and schedule as best they can. Highly recommend this facility to any dog-lover!
I love this place and so do my dogs. I am new to Chesterfield and was very worried about where to leave my dogs when my husband and needed to fly home for a week. I wanted them safe and taken care of. We called Kennels at Winterpock, went down and took a tour of the facility. The kennels were clean, and not just cleaned on our account, the dogs can sleep inside, they have their own beds they have access to the outside and play time, we could board them together. We were also concerned because one of our dogs does not get along with other dogs and we were assured that they DO NOT let the dogs interact. We have used them since and will continue to use them. The staff own the facility and they treated our dogs like they belonged to their family. Having this peace of mind when we travel is great. I highly recommend this facility.
Having boarded Bailey there several times. Good care and very reasonable boarding prices.
We have lived in Chesterfield for 19 years. It has taken us 18 years to find the perfect Kennel for Brodie. We are so happy that we finally found the perfect "home away from home" for him. He is always happy to arrive! Shannon is wonderful to work with when we need to schedule dates for boarding.
We have been coming to the Kennels at Winterpock for over 2 years. Our rescue dog is timid and frightened of men- however, she immediately sensed the kindness and care of the owners, and is excited and happy when she is dropped off, and equally so, when she is picked up! We highly recommend this kennel for their attention to detail and loving care!
This kennel is hands down the cleanest and most caring. The dogs are happy. They have their own dog runs. Heated and airconditioned. After my dog got Kennel Cough at one of the larger kennels with no runs, I switched to Kennels at Winterpock. The family who owns it runs it. My dog gets so excited when she goes there. She loves the family, kind of like going to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
If we could give 10 stars, we would. We have been taking Sammie here for years. He loves the owners and they love him back. They obviously care a lot. Immaculately clean facility. Very flexible drop-off and pick-up hours. You and your pet will be more than happy with everything at this kennel. No need to look anywhere else. Your search is over.
I randomly came across this kennel on the internet a few years ago and I absolutely love them. My dog Barkley loves to go here, seriously. Prior to this kennel, he would always come home sick or at a minimum with a hoarse voice from barking constantly while we were away. He always seems very happy when we pick him up at Winterpock.
Our dog "Willie" has been vacationing at Winterpock Kennels for several years now. The Kirwin family continues to impress us with the care they give him while a guest there. This means so much to us when we travel or just have to leave him for a night, knowing that he is in loving hands. The Halls, Wayne & Jo
