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!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
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!
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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.
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the 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 for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $60 per overnight watching in your home or $40 for a cat boarding, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
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 Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
We have used BHV for over 15 years. They are the kindest, best people in the business! They are so flexible and accommodating. I couldn't even begin to write all the wonderful things they have done for us over the years. They take such great care of the dogs. From the moment we pull up, our dog runs crazy and doesn't look back! He doesn't even want to come home at pick up time. I would never board our dog anywhere else. The day camp is amazing too!
Barking Hound Village is my go-to place to take care of my sweet pups Chloe and Coco whenever I go on trips. It has always been a daunting task for me to leave my furry friends behind, but ever since I discovered Barking Hound Village, I've become worry-free about their well-being. The level of care they provide is truly remarkable. From regular feeding and exercise to cozy sleeping accommodations and socialization with other dogs, they have it all covered. And the best part is that my pups come back home just as happy and healthy as they were before I left. I am so grateful for Barking Hound Village's exceptional services, and I highly recommend it to any pet owner looking for quality care for their furry loved ones.
BHV is the best! Our dogs (Oakley and Margo) have been going for almost a year and they still get so excited to see their friends that they run through the front door and don’t look back for a second. We love how much the staff loves our dogs and know that we can trust them completely to care for and supervise our pups.
We love BHV! My baby girl Charlie recently stayed at this location and had a great time. The staff is kind and loving, and they always post pics on their social media page so you can check on your fur baby while you’re away. I also really love that their hours are accommodating for any schedule. Charlie has always enjoyed the social hours and she loves the staff too! I highly recommend this place (we have used other locations as well) they always go above and beyond!
We love Barking Hound Village!! They are so nice and loving to our Lab, Bailey. She is exhausted and sleeps so well after a full day of "school". We attend just a few times a month but look forward to a day with dog friends!!! A+
Cannot say enough great things about this place and the amazing people that work there!! My pup Margo, goes to daycare twice a week with her friend Oakley and they have the BEST time! The owners and staff care so much about their clients and the pups! They have been super responsive and are great about posting photos and videos of the pups while they are at daycare. Margo is pretty shy in new environments and around new people and they immediately picked up on that and knew how to handle her and make her feel comfortable. They really take the time to get to know each pup which is just amazing!! Overall, 10/10 and would highly recommend!
My dog loves BHV and the staff is amazing!!! He gets so excited to arrive and enjoys group so much! He even got to meet his biological sister while there for daycare and they loved each other!
Our Bernedoodle loves BHV!! When we drop him off he gets so excited and runs back to see all of his friends. The staff is absolutely fantastic and very accommodating. Would most definitely recommend for doggy daycare and boarding!
Our dog loves going here for daycare now whenever the cleaning lady comes to the house but unfortunately they are often booked way far out, and we can't get her in when we want. In addition to that, there is a 48 hr cancellation policy which is frustrating when last minute schedule changes come up.
My girl Winnie has never been to daycare before Barking Hound Village, and they made her so comfortable and confident in her environment, she had the time of her life (based on the pictures they posted later that day)! We will definitely be back!
Vicky clearly cared about my dog. She would thoroughly document the visit, send pictures, and give a subjective description of the disposition of my pet. Since she got to know my pet, she would notice things I sometimes didn't, like his nails becoming too long or certain behaviors to which I became inured. She's very responsible, even remembering to lock doors more often that I remember. I'm moving out of DFW, but I can only hope to have a dog sitter as reliable and courteous as her.
I've never met a more loving animal caregiver and I've had many. Up front honest and delivers above and beyond. Want to know for sure your fur baby is in the best of hands call Miss Vicky! She gets my vote and I think my pets agree! Wish I could give more stars. Thank you miss Vicky.
Wow! Miss Vickie is so professional and sweet. Her communication is excellent and she’s great with the dogs. We felt completely at ease with her in charge and enjoyed our mini vacay. Thanks, Miss Vickie! Love, Mike, Silas, and June Bug
We have used Miss Vicky for over 5 years for trips ranging from a few days to over a month long, and I would recommend her without hesitation. She is extremely professional and reliable, and also very good with our three cats. She is diligent about checking in daily, providing pictures, and giving updates not just on the cats, but also mail and anything else she notices in the house that may need to be addressed. She has also been great with my oldest cat Gus, giving him meds when required and keeping a close eye on his health issues. If you want peace of mind while traveling, don’t hesitate to leave your pets in Miss Vicky’s care!
My wife and I have been using Miss Vicky’s pet sitting service for almost 2 years now. I can’t believe I haven’t given her a five star review until now! She is absolutely wonderful with all of our animals. We have a larger dog and a small Yorkie, two tabby cats and a black-and-white cat. Some stay upstairs some stay downstairs, some like certain treats, some get sick if they eat others. She’s very cognizant of all of this and medicates the dogs and cats when necessary as well. Special props this time for figuring out who’s been eating all the “lil” cat soups lol. Turns out it was our dog Daisy, who has decided going up and down the stairs even though it’s against the rules is OK as long as we’re not home :-). On our last trip, I came home to find the trash bins out on the street. She asked about all this in the introductory interview when she came to meet all the animals, but I guess I’ve just never been gone on the day that she would have been required to do that. For our animals, she stays about an hour. She sends photos of them looking all happy and fed. She watches the one carefully that is supposed to poop while she is here, and we even get reports about that. If you’re looking for a pet sitter, I highly recommend Miss Vicky’s pet sitting services. And although it’s called Miss Vicki‘s pet sitting services, we’ve only ever seen Miss Vicky. I think it might be just her running the business, which I can’t even imagine. Sometimes when she hast to squeeze us in for a last-minute trip, she’ll come at 4:30 in the morning sometimes 830 at night. I know she would spend the night if we asked her to. Once again, just bringing home that five star review! (Here is a note she leaves. She writes one every day and sends an email.)
I’ve known Vicki for quite awhile and I have always relied upon her advice about any problems I was having with my Shih Tzu puppy ( now a grown up princess) Vicki always has a calm common sense approach that always seems to work well. I’ve also watched her work with deaf dogs and they seem to be very calm when they are with her. I recommend her entirely.
I just can't say enough good things about Ms.Vicky! She watched our 2 dogs, kitty and home whenever we would travel for the past 4-5 years. We trust her completely with our home and pets. Would recommend for anyone searching for someone who really loves on your pets when you are gone!
Miss Vicky did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town. I was stressed before leaving because one of my dogs is rather high-maintenance and runs off if given the chance. After meeting Miss Vicky, I knew that she would be able to handle him. I requested that she texted me pictures of my dogs everyday, which she did, and I was able to see that my dogs were very happy - I know they loved her homemade dog treats. We came home from our trip to two calm and content dogs and she had even cleaned up the messes they made in the house while we were gone. Highly recommended!
Miss Vicky has helped watch our dogs several times and she is the best! She is very thorough and truly cares for the animals. She always gives us updates on how our dogs are doing and will keep in touch with us when we are home to make sure we made it safely. I am very, very picky who takes care of my dogs. And I truly believe she possesses the skills, love, and compassion for taking care of animal! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my furbabies!
Miss Vicky is the best! She took care of my sick cat who would hide from anybody, but not for Miss Vicky! I was amazed! She has taken care of my pets for a couple of years now, and I trust Miss Vicky extremely! I can leave for a couple of weeks and know my pets are in great hands! She now is pet sitting my dog, who was very skidish of people, from being abused from past owners. Hugo, my dog just loves her and pretty much jumps out of the car when we get to her house! She takes incredible care of my pets!!! I am definitely recommending Miss Vicky's Petsitting!!!!
