Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
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!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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!
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
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.
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!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
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, $17/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!
A+++! Left my two dogs there this past weekend and they did wonderful! My one dog has a lot of anxiety, and the owner of the kennel made him feel at ease. Also sent me photos during their stay. Thank you for taking care of my fur babies!
We have been using "Like Our Own" kennel for the last 6 mos. (On and off) while we have been moving. Our dogs love it there and always return happy and well-cared for. I never have to worry about my pets' well being and it has eased my mind while I'm away from them.
What a hidden gem! Kari, Brad and her son Hunter truly care for and enjoy all the animals. We are just down the road from the kennel so when the sign popped up I made a call and asked to take a tour (I was nervous to leave my baby). Now, 3+ years later my Aussie, Nash, and my daughter two aussies, Moose and Maggie (the Aussie posse), spend several nights there a year. They eagerly jump out of the car to get to the door. They are even treated to gifts at the holidays and I can leave them knowing they are well taken care of. The kennels are clean with both air conditioning and heat. Day care is also an option, this is how I started trying it out.
Like our Own is so amazing with our pups!! This is the only kennel I will take my babies to. My little rescue pup is a very nervous and distrusting dog. She LOVES Kari and jumps right into her lap when we arrive!!!
My dog Atlas (German Shepherd) loves going to doggie daycare here! They are always accommodating to my early work schedule and will allow me early drop offs. They work to coordinate the best days for him to have the best playgroups and as soon as we pull in he can’t wait to get inside. Pickups are easy and flexible and loading him in the car is a challenge because he doesn’t want to leave. They take excellent care of him and I’m so thankful we found them! Best thing we did for Atlas!
We love Like Your Own Kennel! They are affordable and flexible for drop off/pick up times and last minute schedule changes. Our pup Sasha gets so excited when she sees Kari and has created friendships with other dogs! The socialization our pup is getting is so valuable and we appreciate it so much! 💗 We even get the cutest pictures while she’s there! 🐾
I absolutely love Like Our Own Kennel. Kari and Brad are amazing with my pups. My boy attends daycare there several days a week. They work with my schedule and let me know when his best doggie friends are going to be at the kennel. I love that he can get the exercise that German Shepards require even when I have to work all day. My dog knows the minute that we turn onto their road and gets so excited. I highly recommend Like Our Own Kennel. Hands down, it’s best kennel in the area!!!
Kari was so kind and helpful during a very last minute & chaotic trip to northern Michigan with my Boston Terrier, Butler. Just talking with her made me feel very confident & excited to let Butler try out a new boarding kennel for him. Thank you Kari for your help when I really needed it !
Thank you so much for taking care of our boy. I highy recommend this kennel. Not only are they friends but they genuinely care for the pets in their care. We will be going north in the near future and will definitely be booking a stay for Gunther again.
Very nice people and facility. They have indoor outdoor kennels and a nice grassy play area. Ours girls did very well here. We will be dropping of our boys and girls the next visit.
Rebecca is amazing! At our previous groomer we had our Golden Retriever shaved because she was always so hot. I told Rebecca I regretted it because her hair has never grown back the same. Rebecca not only listened to me, but she Educated me! She told me we would be able to get her hair back to the beautiful soft hair that it was with patience and a lot of hard work on her end. After picking Olivia up, she looked like a whole new dog! Her coat is extremely soft and beautiful and I’m so grateful for Rebecca and her hard work! We will definitely be back regularly!❤️
Rebecca and Amanda did an awesome job grooming my little Jackson, a 5 lb. Shih Tzu! They cut him just as I requested, and he looks so adorable and fluffy! I highly recommend!!!
We thought we try this place because they were close . She did a wonderful job on our 115 lb very anxious shepard/g Pyrenees mix . It was a quiet non chaotic environment. Perfect for anxious dogs . We will definitely return .
Took my Mini Bernedoodle for her first grooming and she looks fantastic!! Owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. Made her next appointment before we left.
I have been so happy about this pooch salon. Rebecca is the best. She’s absolutely amazing and very accommodating to your schedule. I think the biggest thing I like about her and her poochie salon is my Lucy comes home alert, awake and ready to play! Literally every other groomer we used, even other VERY local groomers, Lucy came back tired, lethargic, no appetite and no interest in playing. It honesty took a day or two for her to fully recover from grooming. It truly makes me wonder if they gave me any calming drugs before her grooming. 100% Wag’ Wagon for us! Absolutely love their service and will keep returning.
Best groomer in the area! My dog has never enjoyed herself more being groomed and coming out like a new dog. She was clean an dry and not sheeding like other grooms have left my dog before. Her ears where clean and nails where done. I could not be more satisfied 😌! This groomer will see me back and I hope you will check her out cause it's worth it!
This was the best grooming experience and my fur baby left so happy! The owner was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. She also was extremely kind and treated my dog as if he were her own. Could not recommend enough! If you are in the area and looking for a groomer this is the place to be. 😊😊😊 …
I was super happy with my Dr Lucille Poochenstien’s day at the groomers. They did an amazing job. Stand up place. We will for sure be returning with business. Lucy came home with such a better attitude and lots of energy. She’s come home pretty groggy and kinda tired from other groomers.
I love when I come to pick up my shih Tzu she is walking around waiting for me 🙂🙂 Rebecca does a nice job 😉 …
Rebecca is absolutely amazing! She does such a great job and our dog loves her. We really appreciate everything she does.
