We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
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.
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.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
strongly recommend Christine and Phil to housesit for your kitty. Our pets, Babbles and Cousin Eddy, and property, were in very good hands while we where away for two weeks. They had a fair amount entailed with two cats on different food and needs. Cousin Eddy, or Edoardo, is a barn cat we recently adopted. Eddy is very sweet and stays outside but hangs out the side door wanting to be petted and fed; Bubbles is an indoor cat. Both cats were spoiled by Christine and Phil! Christine and Phil were also very caring and attentive with the needs of our Airbnb guests. During the time we were away they kept us updated daily (including photos of the cats). When we came home, our house was perfect, with lovely fresh flowers, notes for us, and our cats had been well-cared-for. They are wonderful house sitters, and we highly recommend them. They were Five-star sitters of our house and cats!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
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. ⭐
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.
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other 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 overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $15/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.

Trying not to speak for my doggy but she really dose love it here! Always super excited to go ! They make sure you get pictures while your baby is staying here
We have been taking our dog here for almost 3 years. She is always so excited everytime we show up. They take great care of her and send of pictures to let us know she is doing well. I would definitely recommend brining your dog here.
I believe I’ve given Kamp K9 plenty of time to resolve these issues. This review is the next steppingstone before I head to the state board to report them. I booked a 9 day stay at Kamp K9 (HWY 5 location) for my senior German Shepherd. My regular sitter had something come up and I took a leap of faith and chose Kamp K9 because of the positive reviews. During booking, I checked off services Body Check ($0.00), Basic Bath (Price Varies), and Text Photo to Owner (listed as $0.00). The estimate I was given was $306 and some change. I confirmed booking, called to confirm over the phone, and confirmed what I needed to bring for him. Drop-off day comes. I asked the female attendant at the front about the Text Photo to Owner. I asked if that was truly text or if it also came to my email. She very clearly stated “it’s both text and email”. For the NINE days my baby was with them, I never received a photo to my text or email. Neither did the emergency contact I had listed on his forms. Not a big deal since this was a free service, right? WRONG. Upon pickup of my baby boy, I was CHARGED for the Text Photo to Owner. A measly $2.50, but nonetheless a charge for a service I did not receive. Not only that, but the total also I paid was way off and more than the estimate I was given. I’ll clarify that, I did receive an automated text message on July 3rd (I dropped him off on the 28th) that advised I had a report card on Venom to review in the booking portal. I follow the log in prompts and… Nothing. A report card link is listed there. There is no information, no photo, nothing. Hardly justification for charging me $2.50. But wait… there’s more. Once I got my baby home, I noticed a small mark on his nose. At first glance, it looked like a little scrape, and I didn’t think anything of it. Once he was asleep, I was able to really assess this “scrape”. It was not a scrape (see photo). I have had the unfortunate experience of seeing many dog bites. While this is tiny, it was definitely a dog bite. An incident that I, and my emergency contact, was never advised of while he was staying at Kamp K9. I called over the weekend to attempt to get an answer to what happened to my baby while he was staying at Kamp K9. I was given the number for the manager but couldn’t get an answer after calling. Fast forward to the 10th, this past Monday. I called to speak to the previously mentioned manager. I was able to speak with him. I was told that the charge would be taken care of. As of the time of this review, it has not. I was told that my baby was for sure in a play area with a Sheltie at one point, but that cameras would need to be reviewed for any more information on what other dogs were around him and what type of altercation happened that would result in the bite on his nose. The manager advised he would call me back the next day, Tuesday, after 2:00. I felt relieved that he offered to speak to the owner of Kamp K9 as well to find the best resolution to this complaint. I never received that resolution call. I’ve called today to attempt to get an update and haven’t been able to reach the manager that promised a prompt update nor anyone at the Kamp K9 HWY 5 location. I have the worst luck, it seems, when it comes to highly recommended and well-reviewed locations throwing their value of service out the window. My baby should have been treated better…bottom line. The bath seemed like it went well. He smelled better when I picked him at least.
