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!
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.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
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.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
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!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
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!
We boarded a dog here after a family member passed away. Not only did they love on our dog and make sure she had lots of fun and played with other dogs, but they took the time to offer condolences and said they'd be happy to help us out at any time. If i lived in this area i would for sure use them all the time!
Love this Place!! If you ever need a place to take your Fur Babies, This is the Place!! The Staff is so caring! They go out of their way to make sure your Fur Babies are taken care of to the fullest!
Anderson Creek Kennels was a great place to keep our dog during a stay to Ludington. They were responsive and reassuring that our dog was in good hands.
The best place to bring your dog for an overnight stay! My dog really liked it there and they took her for a walk sometimes twice a day! Then they post pictures of your dog taking a walk on Facebook so you can see them everyday while enjoying your vacation! Great idea!
The best kennel our dog has ever been to out of Michigan, NYC and California. We lived here five years ago and we still talk about it, he loved it so much
This is Peanut, and she LOVES Anderson Creek Kennels! She gets so excited when we turn down the road where they're located. The ladies who work there are always so lovely and happy and the owner is a kind and considerate man. Peanut has been staying with them exclusively for the past 3 years and I've no plans to send her anywhere else!
Very accommodating with our last minute plans 2 DAYS IN A ROW while visiting the area on our vacation!! Very happy with the service. Our normal doggy daycare place that we've used the last 3 years near Michigan Adventures suddenly implemented a new policy that supposedly took into action 2 years ago that you cannot book a day care the day of.... even though we have in the past all 3 times and nothing has ever been said. Anderson creek kennels is our new go to if we are in the area. Thank you to the wonderful staff that is taking care of our pups!!
If you need a place to take your fur babies when you can't be there for them or are unable to bring them along with you, Anderson Creek Kennels is the place for you and your pet to go. They are so incredibly caring and do an awesome job to see that your fur baby's stay is amazing. They even post pics each day so you can check up on them while you are away. Highly recommend!
First kennel stay for our pup and they were great! Took her on walks and made sure she has everything she needed to feel at home. Also love that they take photos throughout the day so you can see what your pet is up to. Will definitely go there again next time we're in town.
Friendly and loving towards the animals - they treat them as if they were their own! I have three dogs and they love being at the Kennel! The staff is amazing - the dogs are walked and played with, they take pictures and post them for us to see, and we parents are treated well also! Highly recommend this Kennel!
You ever have a vacation where you wonder if your dogs are having a better vacation than you? You probably had them at Kistler Kennels. We forgot about them after seeing the daily pictures. (Look at their Facebook page). This is super comforting knowing we are looking for permanent vacation property in the area. We will be regulars. Home away from home for the dogs.
If I could leave a negative 50 I would. Was told they would take our dog, explained she is an American bully but is a normal 1 year old pup. She loves on our kids ranging from 1 to 10 and no issues with other dogs at all. Set up a meet and greet. My husband left on the designated day, called and said he was on the way did the time still work? Was told by owner 10 minutes before the scheduled time that they would not take her because of her breed. They did not even see her and did not let us know ahead of time as we scheduled the meeting days ahead of time. Sad they breed discriminate. Found a much better place with Applewood kennels. Thank God not all people are this unprofessional and am happy they did not get our baby as they obviously would have not treated her with the love we do. The least they could have done was let us know ahead of time.
They were able to take my dogs on short notice as we were in town for a funeral. My dogs are always so excitable and a little much so was grateful for the hospitality and great service. I would recommend! We will be back if in town again!
This was the best place to take our dogs while we went out on the sand dunes. Our dogs were well cared for and happy! We ran into a problem and we’re not able to get back to Kistler kennels when we thought and they were amazing and made us feel so much better! Thank you everyone at Kistler kennels for being so gracious and loving our pups!!
Our first experience with overnight boarding with our 10 month old pup. Mrs. Visscher and family treated her like she was their own and she was just as excited being with them. That certainly helped us with "our" separation anxiety! We'll definitely use them again during future trips up to Michigan.
I left my dog for the first time ever. He enjoyed his stay so well he didn't want to leave. The owner did a great job and when I go away next time I will use her Kennel.
Jon did a fairly large job for us. He was able to problem solve, always asked our preferences, worked steady. Kept his work precise and neat and clean. He comes prepared. His work is meticulous. Very happy with his work and would recommend him unconditionally. His business is aptly named, “Precision”.
Great kennel for your furry family member! They've always taken great care of my girl! She loves going there ❤
Our dogs are well cared for, and any concerns that come up are promptly communicated and addressed.
Great owners, and great facility for a very reasonable price!
