Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
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.
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.
My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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, 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!
They are the best doggy daycare/ boarding we’ve taken our dog to. They are very involved, very educated, and I feel so safe leaving my Louis with them during the work week. I 10000% recommend them over other options in the area. They care greatly about animals, and my puppy comes home in such a good mood and sleepy from all the dog play!! They’re also great photographers and update consistently throughout the day on how your doggo is doing :)
100% Recommend Pine Hill Pet Care! My pup always come home happy and tired. They are great with communication and accommodating with scheduling changes.
Highly recommended. Pine Hill Pet Care cared for our cat in our home when we were out of town and did a phenomenal job. They took excellent care of our cat, sent daily updates via text, and were very friendly and flexible. I will definitely be using their services again.
I've been using Pine Hill for my dog waste pick up for a few months now. #1. Amazing customer service. Very good communication about scheduling. Always professional, polite, and just pleasant to talk to. #2. Reasonable pricing for a month's worth of service. #3. Does an excellent job picking up, even when the grass gets a little long. I highly recommend their pick up service and believe any service they provide would be worth it!
The folks at Pine Hill Doggy Daycare were super professional and sweet. Our pup came back happy and absolutely exhausted after a full day romping around the beach and yard at day care. Pine Hill picked up and dropped off our girl as well as sent video/photo updates during the day. I would highly recommend Pine Hill Doggy Daycare and plan to use them many times in the future!
Melissa was great with our little senior dog. He got along well with her other dogs, and seemed to be having a good time. The homey vibe is what we were looking for instead of a cage and one hour a day exercise. I highly recommend Pine hill Doggy Daycare! Austin Snyder
They always take such good care of Arrow, I love seeing videos of her playing with the other dogs in the woods and on the beach on their Instagram feed, while I'm off on business. Whether it's a dog walk on a long workday, or dog boarding while I'm out of town, I know she's happy and having a blast
Awesome pet sitter-- they did such a good job taking care of my beloved kitties. Thanks again, will always use Pine Hill from now on. :)
I had my puppy Penelope stay in their care while I was at work for over 4 months. They were professional, kind and engaging with my puppy! I was blow away by how kind and caring they were! I received daily pictures of her play time and any questions I asked were answered. My puppy had the highest quality care with puppy ply, puppy art time and even a bubble party! I HIGHLY recommend this business to anyone who is looking for care. 10/10!!
I am a travel nurse and needed someone to take care of my sweet pup, Ollie, while I was at work. Lindsay came through and was there for me when I needed it most! She took Ollie in like he was her own and took such great care of him. I never worried when I dropped him off. I could tell Ollie loved going there because he basically ran out of the car as soon as we pulled up to her house! Lindsay is extremely caring, kind, flexible, and communicative. I love that she limits how many dogs she takes per day to maintain safety. She also sends updates and pictures throughout the day so you can see your pup in action. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a doggie daycare that is fun, safe, and affordable. She is absolutely wonderful!
When I got my new puppy last spring, I asked my vet if she could recommend a puppy friendly pet sitter. Her response " Pet Sitter Extraordinaire" with Lindsey's contact attached. Best thing that could have happened for me!! Lindsey is so incredibly wonderful in every way and goes above and beyond to ensure your dog's safety and comfort in her home. Her home is literally my dog's second home. So highly recommended!!
100% recommend! Lindsey will take care of your pets as if they were her own. She's sweet, kind, professional, easy to talk to and incredibly caring. I've even recommended her to a few of my cleaning clients and they were blown away by her care of their pets. I would trust her everyday with my love fluffs.
Lindsey and her husband Chris are so caring and so attentive to all the dogs they care for! Whenever I have to leave town I know my pups are in good hands with miss Lindsay. She goes the extra mile for my doggos! She even gave them all Christmas presents. She bakes them homemade treats and is a registered vet tech! So not only are they safe, I can rest well ok owing that they are being looked after by a veterinary professional! Thank you Lindsey! Loofy and Cody go crazy when we get there!! They love it
Paws and Wet Noses is one of the best! I’m one of those pet parents who is WAAAAY over protective of the care my animals receive. But I know that I can trust this team with any type of care. My diabetic pet needs multiple daily medications and they were able to take care of him so well it was like I had never left. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend!
This place knows how to take care of your pet. With Lindsey's veterinary experience and their obvious love for animals, I can't think of a better place.
Seemed nice but couldn't help me!
I have been a dog owner my entire life. Taking vacations away from my fur babies can be very stressful. We have never boarded our dogs and we have always had a pet sitter come to the house. We just returned from a 10 day vacation to find our babies happy and well cared for and house spotlessly clean! This is our first time using Mike’s services and he will forever be our first call going forward. We have three dogs, one of them is a senior, another one requires special medication including weekly injections, and the third is very high energy and needs a lot of exercise. All of their needs were met flawlessly. We got daily updates with pictures and videos and could see they were having a fantastic time with Mike. We are truly grateful for the excellent service and love Mike gave our babies. Looking forward to future vacations knowing that Our precious babies will be loved and cared for a while we are away.
Mike took great care of our cats and pet chicken while we were away. He sent us updates and pictures of the cats, made sure our senior kitty got his meds, and responded to texts quickly anytime we reached out.
Mike gets an A+ Mike understands how special my cats are to me, so he happily agreed to mimic some of their daily (feeding and playing) routines to maintain normalcy in my absence. But at the same time, he had his own "pet voice" he used with them and developed friendships with them. He sent me short videos and photos of them while I was away and responded promptly to texts I sent him. When I got home, I could barely notice that he house/pet sat there for a week. And my cats pretended like they had noticed I'd been gone. That was a good sign. I highly recommend Mike as your house/pet sitter. He's been a professional in the Humboldt Region for decades and is true to his dependable reputation. The Peace of Mind I had while I was gone was worth many times more than I paid. This is the pet sitter you want if you don't want to worry about your pets while you're gone. But he won't be available the third week in October ever! I'm calling it right now!
Mike Seeber was a great house/dogsitter! The dogs enjoyed their time with him and got a lot of walks. The house was spotless when we returned. I highly recommend! Jan Ross
Mike is very caring and sensitive to our dog Sadie and he’s very conscientious about her needs and her schedule. We completely trust Mike to take good care of her and our home.
Chris was extremely accommodating for our large breed dog. He stayed for two nights and had a wonderful time. Chris took him to the local park and sent us pictures of his adventures at the end of each day to reassure us he was doing great. He is very reasonably priced, and we highly recommend his services for even the most attached pet parents!
THE ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS We recently left our 3 dogs for a week at Whisker City, in Fortuna, CA. (all Belgian Malinois X German Shepherd Dogs) We were a bit anxious as our dogs haven't been away from home more than an overnight in their lives. The facility is clean and inviting and full of animal loving, caregivers. We picked them up this morning and, of course, they were happy to see us but I think they might have been as happy to stay with their new friends as to go home with us. The personal care that the babies received was unbeatable and the pricing is very reasonable. If I could give 10 STARS I would. Thanks to all the wonderful caregivers at Whisker City, Sincerely, Sherman, Buster and Emma
Friend of mine boarded her dog here. He didn't want to go home.
My fur baby and I love Woodcroft! This has been like a second home to him and I feel at ease when I have to drop him off for daycare or boarding because I know he is in good hands! All the staff are wonderful and it’s very clear they are all dog lovers! Would highly recommend this place.
My border collie and I had a great experience here at Woodcroft. I was nervous at first to take him to daycare because he can be a little shy and is usually never away from my partner and I. However Hannah made us both feel more comfortable by giving us a tour of the place before hand and also ensuring us that she does not take in too many dogs (which I liked very much). Inside was a very open and clean space and the dogs have easy access to an outside patio that my dog enjoyed a lot. After pick up, Hannah gave me an assessment of Huck's behavior and also advise on how to make him more comfortable the next time he comes. Although this is a new business I would recommend Woodcroft if you are looking for a doggie daycare.
This place is great. They are easy going and nice and my Dog loves going there!
This was our pup’s first daycare and boarding experience and she absolutely loved it! She was nervous at first, but Hannah did an amazing job of making her feel comfortable and by the time I left, my pup was running around having a blast with the other dogs. I also really appreciated getting little photo updates during her stay. Very thoughtful. I am so grateful that this business exists here in our community!
Woodcroft Doggy Day Care is the best place to take your pups in the entire county. Staff is extremely friendly, accommodating, and prioritizes your dog's needs and health. Kenneling, daycare, and training are well-priced. The owner is charismatic and works perfectly with all kinds of personalities ("pooch"inalities?). I cannot recommend Woodcroft enough if you have to travel without your companion.
LOVE Woodcroft, great for stays, also a BIG shoutout for Hannah as dog trainer! We had a session recently, just a half an hour of practical pointers and advice and at a critical moment Hannah said “trust your dog.” Something clicked in both me and dog and frustrating problem is gone ever since! Magic!
My dog loves Woodcroft and so do I! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. There is a good staff to dog ratio, and they gently correct inappropriate behaviors. My dog plays so much better with others now.
I'm very impressed with this business. My uncle was in the hospital in feb for at least a month and a half. My cousin contacted Woodcroft and was able to get my uncle's dog (Elliott) in right away. Then unfortunately my uncle was flown to an out of the area hospital this last weekend for emergency care. My cousin asked me to contact Woodcroft for Elliott. When I called Hannah said no problem bring him on in. When I dropped Elliott off he was so happy to be there and Hannah was excited to see him as well. Hannah your awesome and your making a huge difference in people (and doggies) lives. Thanks again for being there.
I was out here on vacation from Chico and I absolutely love this place! I have a nervous adult dog (Scout) and a puppy (Toby - in the picture) both being a bit of work. They loved being here so much they didn't want to leave when it was time to leave. I always worry that my pups will be stuffed in a kennel and given limited interaction. Here they are allowed to free run and play and get enriching activities and I could absolutely see the difference in their attitude versus some places we've tried back home. The only thing I don't like is that I can't come more often. Hannah is amazing and I'm already looking forward to the next time I'm back out here with my pups! Hands down the best doggy day care I've worked with.
I have purchased every service at this kennel. Across the board this doggy daycare has helped my high energy dog calm down. We started with training, the team there taught me basic training and really worked with my experience while assessing the needs and behavior of my boy. He's very high energy snd by the time we had finished 5 trainings he had all his basic training down. 7 commands later, from sit to leave it, we were ready to face the world! When my office had me go back into the office this place was the obvious choice. They knew Lucky and spent the time to access his behaviour with other dogs. He's now so friendly with other animals and has really grown. No matter how much I miss him their Instagram page posts stories daily to show how my baby is doing. And its just a text away to see if anything is happening. These people are very communicative and their online app makes it easy for me to roll over in the middle of the night and schedule an emergency board or day if something happens. Overnight boarding is great and there is so much space for the dogs to run around. Toys, other puppies and the reassurance that he is in a safe environment makes this place my only choice in Humboldt. Sometimes he comes back with all the slobber and I know that that means he had one of his best days with the friends he is making at Woodcroft Doggy Day Camp. Thank you to the great team and thank you for creating this service in our community!
My dog loves this place and she does not like every daycare. Definitely recommend for playful dogs, I'm sure all dogs love Happy Dog as well!
The best doggy daycare! My basset Hickory doesn't always find it easy to be social. The Happy Dog folks make sure he is in the right play group for his needs and that he has a true happy experience! They often give me reports when I come for pick up so I know he is getting personalized care not just another face in the crowd. As much as Hickory enjoys seeing his doggy friends I think he likes his people friends even more! The staff at Happy Dog are truly wonderful! Every time we come to drop off my dog is wagging his tail and every time I pick up he has a happy doggy smile. With half day and whole day options prices are very reasonable. This place really does make for a Happy Dog!
Happy Dog is great! We've taken our dog there several times. The staff is extremely friendly. They have indoor kennels and also have covered outdoor play areas for the dogs to run around.
I find myself relating to pet parents who know just how important it is to find a safe and happy place for their animal companions. I found that magical spot in Happy Dog. My pup comes home after a long day of playing and being showered with love and attention.
My dog Ripley absolutely loves it here. I have to roll the back windows of the car up on the way to drop him off, because he once got so excited that he jumped out the window! He is always super happy to come play with his friends and is peacefully tired when I pick him up. The staff are all friendly, calm, professional, and efficient -- and my dog loves them, too. They manage the busy drop off and pick up times of day amazingly well. I had never used a doggy daycare service before this and was very hesitant at first, but I have been put completely at ease, and I know that if I ever need to board Ripley here overnight he will be in good hands. ❤
We were displaced due to the fires. Our beagle was with us and we needed a day care so while my daughter attended remote classes she wouldn't pester her. This place is amazing from the staff to the other dogs they allow. Our dog came back at the end of the day tired and happy. After the first day she hopped right it if the car and ran with the attendants inside she was so thrilled to be there! They are observing very strict and careful covid distancing. Which is so important right now. We were so happy to find them and if we're ever there again I'll 100% bring it dog there.
My dogs, Sienna and Spencer, absolutely love their weekend and daycare getaways to Happy Dog!! They start getting excited on the freeway before dropping them off. Happy Dog staff have been great to them. It feels good to get away and know our fur kids are in good hands!!!
My dog has gotten kicked out of another daycare before for playing too rough because they sorted dogs into 3 categories. I love that happy dogs sorts them based on size AND play style. My boy loves it there! They have better prices than the other place too and are pretty quick with getting my dog out and notifying if there were any issues.
I've taken my dogs to a number of places and Happy Dog is by far the best. My dog is getting older and requires a little extra attention and the staff at happy dog treated her amazing. And when work kept me away for weeks on end they made sure Maggie was in good health and happy. I can't say enough of how awesome this business and staff are. Many thanks !
Staff folks are superb. My Corgi, Zuli nearly knocks the door down to get in at drop off and just as happy to come home, when I pick her up. I’ve brought my dogs to Happy Dog daycare and boarding since 1998. Always a great experience for the dogs and for me!
