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.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
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. ⭐
This was the second time Cung sat for us and once again he was amazing! Cung was great with our cat, giving him lots of love and attention. Our cat was so comfortable he snuggled up with Cung frequently, which he doesn’t always do with strangers. We got daily updates and pictures. When we returned we could tell our cat was well taken care of. Cung was so organized and clean, as well. Our apartment was spotless when we returned. That’s always nice after coming home from vacation. You should definitely have Cung sit for you! One of the top sitters on this site.
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
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 €15 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!
Didnt get any where so nothing to review really. Good idea though and im sure it will actually help others.
Good person, good treatment and a good price. I recommend it 100%
My dogs had a lovely time with you. My youngest simply loved playing with his friend Charlie as well as new pals. I am sure that if they could talk they would agree to visit again soon. Thank you.
My little teddy loves it with Margarita! And I am very reassured that he feels so comfortable there! He is there more often, from a day stay to a month. If I could I would give 10 stars! Gladly again and again!
Only the very best for furry friends! At Casa Margarita you will be treated very well with a lot of love and attention. Our Yorkie girl has often enthusiastically spent her dog holidays there because it is something special. Run around, play, rest or lie in the sun - no boredom. We feel so reassured knowing that she is doing so well there! Thanks alot!!!
Be careful with Margarita because she is not as nice as she makes you believe. He abused my puppy in front of me simply because he wanted to get into the enclosure and there was a sick dog in the van. She started yelling at me like a hysterical woman, telling me that there was a sick dog in a van that had arrived. I didn't know there was a sick dog in the van. If I had known, I would have been more careful. But there are also many ways to react and communicate. And the way Margarita communicated was very disrespectful and hysterical. I will never leave my dogs in Margarita's hands, knowing how hysterical and violent she can get.
Always for the welfare of the animal!!! Very nice service, lots of space, well organized and tidy. The animals are doing wonderfully there! That's why our Daphne, a one-year-old mixed breed dog 🐶, is there regularly. She can be with her own kind as the dog wants and likes. Thanks!!!
I have wanted to house my dog in this daycare. In Lanzarote there are hardly any. After searching for it among intricate dirt roads and difficult roads, it has been impossible for me to locate it. The Google Maps coordinates do not correspond to any installation. Maybe it is in one of the few and dusty buildings near the indicated place, between Puerto del Carmen, Tias and its Punto Limpio, but I am not going to try to locate it again. My dog does not deserve to be in a place like this at 35°, and even less in the hands of people who advertise with a misleading photograph, in which a Golden Retriever appears surrounded by vegetation.
Even if the facilities are good, you have to pay a fair price for the time your dog is going to settle in, since in my case, I went to pick him up in the morning, first thing in the morning when the center opened, and they made me pay for everything. the day. Actually that day the dog is not going to use the facilities and his plot is now free to accommodate another canine. Therefore, it doesn't seem fair to pay for the full day.
I used this place because where I took them they were going on vacation, a place where they treat them great and an acquaintance recommended this place to me... Where I will never return... First: the person who helped me spoke my language fairly well so we didn't understand each other very well, with my dog being super cold since she is big and she didn't have the strength for it, she excuses it by telling me that they will come and help her. The last straw was when I picked him up, my dog always greets us, he is super happy when I had my car parked outside and he climbed into the driver's window like someone who is running away, after this I had to take him urgently to the vet because the first That night he became ill with tachycardia, they told him to rest because it seems like he was scared so much that when I scold him he peed, something he never did before. I don't even want to think about the vacations they've put him through...
I left my dog for a week and was delighted with the service and kindness, they sent me photos of my dog enjoying it, spacious and very clean facilities.
Very good, a lot of experience with dogs
