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.

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!
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
. 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.
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
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. ⭐
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. 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!
I have been taking my dogs to preppy pet in warminster for over 12 years and have to say this is the best place ever. They treat my dogs like their own and I always feel comfortable leaving them here. I don't think I could take them anywhere else!! I love thay they also do baths, grooming and nails. It's like a one stop shop. I really appreciate that they stay on top of the vaccination records too, we had a bad experience somewhere else before we found preppy pet, so it was a relief. Would recommend to everyone!!
If I could give them zero stars or -0 stars I would customer service is horrible! I called the place yesterday and asked about bringing my dog in today. They told me I could. They emailed me an application and asked me to fill it out with the vaccination records perfect. Was having a lot of trouble with the email and couldn’t get it to send back to them filled out, so I showed up this morning telling them this and the gentleman at the front desk was rude as could be and told me that he needed the application and I said OK that’s fine. I can fill one out now and he said well. You can fill it out now but I can’t let your dog stay?? Why not? Well, I need the application back…… OK well I can fill out the application now the vaccination records I have the vaccination records. I can give them to you while you can’t stay again I ask why not they sent you the application and you need to send it back to us? What? What difference does it make? If I emailed you last night the application or if I filled it out here he’s like well. You can fill it out here. I just can’t let your dog stay… i’m sorry but that’s ridiculous. If you’ve already told me that I can bring my dog in and I have all the necessary records. Why can’t my dog stay because I didn’t email it back to you last night sense to anybody cause it doesn’t make sense to me so they’ve lost a customer, and by the looks of the place, it didn’t look that great anyway my dog has been doggy daycare before and I’ve seen much better places. There was poop out on the sidewalk that nobody bothered to clean up when you first walk in, which is disgusting, it looks old and decrepit, the outside area that I could see didn’t look that much like any fun it’s just a fenced off area. You could hear all the dogs were inside just barking and barking and barking and barking and barking. So glad I didn’t take my dog there….
My dentist told me about this facility and I'm so glad I checked it out. My family and I looked at a few other places but the staff here were so friendly as well as this facility smells and looks clean. Others did not smell so good. My byrdie girl gets so excited once we get close and she wiggles her entire body when we go in and see the staff. She loves going to daycare and playing with her puppy friends. Anytime I have had questions or concerns they are so accommodating. They make me feel good about leaving my baby to play while I work hard lol. Take your pet here, I promise you won't regret it. Thank you to all the staff at preppy pet!
I am editing a previous post I meant to update sooner. I had taken my dogs here, and not had the best experience. The manager saw my review online contacted me immediately and let me bring my dogs back in. This time they cut them right it was a cute even cut. I'm not sure what was going on with my dog's groomer personally the day before but I didn't appreciate the unprofessionalism that she took out on an animal. However the manager calling me back did make me feel much better and that my dogs were in good hands.
My husband and I have brought our now two year old German Shepherd to Preppy Pet since he was three months old. Hunter goes regularly to day care (approximately 3 times per week) and has stayed overnight multiple times for both long weekends and extended says. It is a great relief to know that our dog is well taken care of and that his specific needs are always met whether we are at work or out of town. The prepay bundles for day care a great and all overnight stays are very reasonably priced. We cannot say enough pleasant things about the facility and everyone who works there. Special thanks to Elaina, Hope, Morgan, Lyndsi, Kiera, and Jackie. Hunter gets super excited every time we pull in the parking lot. We love Preppy Pet and how much they care about our dog.
Love preppy pet. Thankful for the services they offer. Friendly staff. Love that I can check in on our pup during the day on their web cams.
this was my first time boarding my fur baby. i choose preppy pet because of the good reviews but i am very disappointed.. I was never able to see my pet on the camera.. didn’t receive any pictures of him while he was there. i wasn’t showed were he was staying… To top it off he now has Kennel Cough. Not a good experience.. when i picked him up i was told he developed a cough that same day of pick up… strange
We recently boarded our 2 labs at Preppy Pets after recommendations form our Vet. The communication was great and even though I was a little nervous leaving our dogs there for the first time, they did great. The kennel is clean and they offer group and individual playtime as well. Great service at a reasonable price!
My grandmother lives going there. They are very good with the fur kids from puppy all the way up to seniors.
UPDATE: We spoke with Elaina, the owner, this morning regarding the problem we had with our pup at Preppy Pets on Saturday. She spoke with us about the situation and the confusion that her younger employee had, and that she was going to review the tapes to see where she was at for us. Elaina let us know that her employee told her the same story that he had told us, and that he recognizes he should have been looking to see where our puppy was throughout the day before telling us he didn't know where she was. Elaina sent us over timestamped photos and videos of Honey out in the runs with the other dogs, which has helped us feel so much better and a lot of relief to the discomfort that we had. She was really reassuring in that she understood our panic and was apologetic about the confusion and assured us that the younger employee was going to receive additional training to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future with anyone else. I greatly appreciated that Elaina took the time to make it right by us and reassure us and investigated the situation, even though she had been away for her wedding this weekend. ORIGINAL POST: We took our puppy over to Preppy Pet for the first time today, and we will never be returning. She’s a four and a half month old bernedoodle and she’s still pretty shy and nervous. The person at the desk was highly judgmental that I wanted her to try out group play as I’m working on socializing her and she will get involved as she warms up, and he acted as if we starve her when we said she may not eat the food we packed her because she is nervous and that there is a nutrical supplement to give her if she doesn’t. He seemed upset and like he wanted me to only pay for individual play which is more money. He said he would let her relax for a few minutes in a separate room before putting her in and we were okay with that. We kept checking pet cameras, but Honey never showed up in the few hours we were looking between being at an event with some friends. By 430 we called because no dogs were out anymore and we wanted to make sure she was okay. Turns out they forgot about her in a cage, and didn’t even know who she was. When I questioned why she was in a cage, when I was told it was a cage free facility and I was paying for her to be in a suite, they immediately tried to back track and say they didn’t mean cage. I told them i was coming to pick her up because they forgot about my terrified puppy in a cage for hours…It’s almost like the person at the desk was so mad I wanted her in group play that he took it out on her. I will say the young employee did try to make it right by us because of how upset I was even though there was no making this situation right. He stayed a little late to make sure I could come pick her up early because I had a two hour drive back, and he didn’t make us pay for it. He also had her out and sitting with him on a bed with her pillow waiting for us at the front office. But it still doesn’t take away from the fact that they still forgot about my dog for hours in a cage. We will never be back and I really hope that this review helps others be weary of where they are leaving their pets. No puppy deserves to be forgotten about and left in a cage when they’re scared and away from home and their family.
Beyond Pet Care is absolutely the best service I have ever received. Carolyn treats my dog like her own and has been helping care for her since she was a puppy and now feels like a part of the family! She takes outstanding care of my dog, …
Carolyn is so responsible and does a great job taking care of our 2 cats. We feel confident that our pets and home are in good hands when we leave town. We highly recommend Carolyn!
I'm a breeder
This was the first time I used this boarder and I am very happy. My dogs came home happy and healthy without any problems at all. I would definitely recommend them for your boarding and grooming needs. I recently had the dogs groomed here and the owner did a terrific job. Thanks again guys for taking such good care of my girls!
We are always very stressed when we go away because leave our dog Brady. We are so grateful we found Bow-Wow Boarding house!! Brady always receives amazing care and we love that they have the individual runs for each dog!
Let me start with....I never leave reviews, good or bad. I am so happy with my experience at Bow Wow. I want others that feel their dogs are their kids to know this place is the bees knees. I left 2 dogs with them. They are both rescues and have some issues. I spoke with the owner over the phone and discussed my concerns and the needs of my kids. She welcomed us in and on drop off specifically remembered our phone conversation from 2 months ago. I picked them up today and all I can say is it shows how much they care about each dog as if were their own. My one dog was growling in the beginning and she took the time to earn his trust and said he came around quickly. I am so thankful to have found a kennel that cares.....and I have tried several in the Doylestown area. Thank you again BowWow we will be seeing you 11 days over Christmas .
Ted has been coming to Bow Wow for daycare for about 6 yrs. We've also boarded him here. He always comes home happy, healthy and most of all TIRED. He loves Bow Wow!!!
2021.Horrible place, will never ever go there again. Boarded both of my dogs for 5 days. Both dogs came back thinner, extremely dirty, both were coughing, and both had injuries on their elbows, they looked and acted like entirely different dogs from when I left them. Bow Wow said they couldn't bath them even though I had requested baths. I immediately took both dogs to the vet hospital so they could get looked at and reported Bow Wow. Please don't board your dogs there, it took weeks for my dogs to be themselves again, they both got kennel cough, they were vaccinated, and both had to go on antibiotics for their injuries.
This place really cares about each dog they take in. From boarding to grooming, they treat each dog really great. I particularly like the indoor play area for rainy days and the out door play area. I think the new owners are really doing a great job, and reasonably priced.
Riley seemed to have a blast.... Came home tired from her adventure, but happy and healthy! All good. First time boarding there, so naturally there was concern, but everything worked out great. I would certainly board there again!
Great place to board our large German Shepherd. The staff and service is great. Lauren has done a great job with the kennel since taking over. I would recommend Bow-wow Boarding to any dog owner.
If I could give 0 stars I would. I took my healthy, happy, energetic dog for a grooming here and in return received a sick and injured animal. After a recent grooming appt my chow-chow has had diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy and is in extreme pain near her neck and ear. Every single symptom began IMMEDIATELY following the grooming. With their ridiculous business hours I am having to wait for the next window of opportunity to call and speak with the owner. A demand for a full refund and explanation will be coming to them. Having to take my dog to the vet this week all due to their negligence and treatment. I not only highly recommend you take your pet ANYWHERE else but if you receive one of their flyers promptly throw it away, the discounted deals are not worth your animals being mistreated!
Most caring and "homie" care you'll get anywhere! My dog thought he was at a doggy spa. He was groomed beautiful and cared for in the most loving way. So great to have an awesome local place to board our pooch. 😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 …
LeeAnn and Karen are awesome. We have a reactive German Shepard and this is the only place that he likes going to and we feel comfortable leaving Jimmy for prolonged time. Truly, the people here care about dogs and not just in it for the $. Would recommend to everyone!
I am so thankful Nightwatch Kennel was recommended to me for my Bernese Mountain Dog, Lucky. I don't have to board him very often, but when I do it is such a relief to know he is in good hands. Lucky is always happy when we arrive at Nightwatch and when I pick him up it is always clear he has been well taken care of. Leanne and her staff are professional and knowledgeable, and they show real care for the dogs who stay there. Thank you!
While I am not big in writing reviews, and this is quite possibly my first ever - I felt the need after Leann went out of her way to accommodate and help out. While traveling in the area from up North, I had lined up a sitter for a a few hours a day over the course of two days for my 6 month old Malinois. After the sitter plans fell through I took to google to find a local kennel with a hope and a prayer. And Leann made that prayer come true. Extremely pleasant on the phone and very welcoming - she said to come on in and her staff would help out. Dropping Kacey off, Karen instantly met me and was extremely inviting and energetically pleasant. Karen took me to were Kacey was going to be housed for a few hours and I took note on how clean the entire place was. It wouldn’t surprise me if my Kacey - being in a new environment for the very first time - was a disruption to their normal operating schedule - but they never let on. This place checks all the boxes - Professional, Friendly, Experienced and a pleasure to deal with.
LeAnn and Karen is awesome. They take really good care of our pups and everyone else's. ❤️ our dogs are so happy and they love being there. Pay attention to details. Welcome back Karen. A great place for your pets. Love Elly may and Charlie and of course us. Take care and stay well.
Always took great care of my Furbaby … the owners are very nice people !
We love nightwatch! We were referred by a friend. They hire professional staff, they take the dogs out appropriately, and are so easy to work with. The only down side is everyone loves them so much that they book up fast, so you have to book several months in advance. Great service!
We have taken our German Shepard to another kennel and when we picked him up he was a hot mess. I was nervous this time to kennel him again but the staff at Nightwatch was amazing. When we got him THIS TIME, he hardly wanted to come home he had so much fun. Thank you to the staff! 100% would send our Shepherd to you guys again!
Had a great first experience with them and had to wait 3 weeks past his groom time because they were so busy. Finally the day came and I drove there at 8 AM only to get a phone call the groomer had car trouble and was canceling. No back up or we will squeeze you in somewhere. She just said she’d call me in a few days to re-schedule. I am coming from a half hour away with a dog that is very nervous in the car and was freaking out the whole way home. Very disappointed and not sure if I will go back.
Lynn was wonderful with Arthur! She was so nice with my wife on the phone and cut Arthur just like we wanted. We are so happy with the results and will definitely be back. It’s safe to say we found our new groomer.
This is a wonderful place for dogs to stay when they have to be away from home. The staff is extremely loving and our dogs come home exhausted from all the fun they have. Every time we return, our puppies can not wait to get inside. We highly recommend NightWatch!!!
