They took such good care of our cat! Highly recommend, and we are happy to book with them again
What Ottawa cat parents say
There are pet boarding services that will feed your cat, clean their litter and give them somewhere safe to sleep.
And then there is Meowhomez.
My cat stayed with Abdul and Sumaiah for almost two months, from August 2 to September 28, while I coordinated her international relocation. After this experience, I genuinely cannot imagine entrusting a cat to better people.
Their home is a cat’s dream. It is exceptionally clean and organized while still being completely designed around feline comfort and enrichment: cat trees, hammocks, toys, fountains, self-cleaning litter boxes, comfortable resting areas, abundant windows for entertainment, and seemingly endless places to climb, explore and relax. It genuinely feels less like conventional boarding and more like sending your cat on their own luxurious vacation.
Communication throughout the entire stay was phenomenal. I received an update every single day, usually accompanied by multiple photos. I was thousands of kilometres away, yet I was able to see my cat eating, sleeping, playing, recovering, making friends and enjoying her day-to-day life. For nearly two months, I never had to chase them for reassurance or wonder what was happening with my cat. That consistency gave me something invaluable: complete peace of mind.
My cat arrived extremely wary of both the unfamiliar environment and the other cats. She had never been comfortable socializing with other cats, and I had always wished she could learn to accept and enjoy their company. Abdul and Sumaiah never forced her. They gave her a safe space, worked at her pace, made her feel secure, and gradually introduced her to the household.
The transformation was incredible. As different boarding guests came and went over the following weeks, I watched a cat who had initially been highly territorial become increasingly relaxed, receptive and friendly toward other cats. By the end of her stay, socializing with other cats had become a normal part of her life.
For me, that alone is priceless. Meowhomez did not simply look after my cat; her time there genuinely enriched her life and helped her develop socially in a way I had hoped for for years.
Their individual attention is also exceptional. Despite caring for other cats, my cat was never treated like one animal among many. They learned her personality, played with her individually, trimmed her nails, noticed her habits and preferences, and clearly knew her as an individual cat. The level of attention was closer to what I would expect from family than from a boarding service.
They were also extraordinarily accommodating of the complicated logistics surrounding my cat’s international relocation. They safely kept her extensive and extremely important travel documentation, accommodated veterinary appointments and recovery requirements, and helped me coordinate her final travel arrangements with the relocation company to ensure that her final pickup went smoothly.
If you are anxious about leaving your cat with strangers, particularly for an extended stay, I cannot recommend Meowhomez highly enough. The standard here goes far beyond feeding, litter cleaning and supervision. It is a beautiful, enriched, cage-free environment run by two people who become genuinely invested in the animals entrusted to them.
I originally needed somewhere for my cat to stay.
What I found was somewhere she could belong.
There are not enough stars for the experience my cat and I had with Abdul and Sumaiah. If a hundred stars were an option, I would give them all ten without hesitation.
Meowhomez was the greatest stroke of luck in my cat’s entire relocation journey, and choosing them was one of the best decisions I could possibly have made for her ❤️🐾
They do an amazing job of taking care of your cat while you are away. They send lots of photos and updates that really helped ease my mind that my cat was enjoying him self which helped me enjoy my vacation so much more. I was really anxious of finding a good place and they did a tremendous job taking care of my Sylvester :)
To everyone looking for a place to board their cat, look no further! This place is amazing. The staff are very friendly, and they are consistent about sending daily photos of your cat, sometimes even more than one photo a day!
I also got to see the cats’ living space, and it was really beautiful, spacious, and open. The windows were covered with secure screens so fresh air could circulate through the room, and there were multiple platforms for the cats to play on and nap.
Most importantly, my cat came home in great health, and the overall experience was very pleasant. The staff are wonderful people who you can communicate with comfortably, and they answered all of my questions patiently. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe and caring place for their cat!
I used their pet-sitting service for two weeks and was very happy with the care they provided. I highly recommend them and will definitely use their services again in the future. Thank you so much!
Great people, they took care of my cat so well and he had so much fun!! The pictures and the videos really helped.
Really great service. Will use again in the future.
I was very impressed with this small family business. Meow Homez took excellent care of Nacho and were super friendly and helpful. They took the time to send me some great photos to show me how he was doing, This put my mind at ease while I was away.
They also answered all of my questions about how he was doing and how well he was interacting with the other cat guests.
They took his preferences into account, such as putting his blanket in a good place, letting him sleep in the bed (as he does at home), and feeding him a seafood diet as this is what he likes.
I could also tell by his behaviour and body language that he was comfortable and at ease when I came to pick him up. Meow Homez were also very flexible and friendly when my travel plans changed. They even washed his blanket before I came to pick him up.
I really can’t say enough good things about Meow Homez. I will definitely bring Nacho back the next time I travel. It’s reassuring to know that he will be in really good hands with cat owners while I have to be away.
Meow Homez took incredible care of my cat King while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were super responsive throughout, always quick to reply and happy to send updates, which gave me total peace of mind. On top of that, they're just genuinely lovely, kind people who clearly care about the animals they look after. King was relaxed and well looked after the whole time. Highly recommend to any cat owner in Ottawa looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thank you again!
I would like to say a huge thank you to Meaw House for taking such wonderful care of my cat, Tiger, for three weeks. Everything went perfectly from start to finish, and I had complete peace of mind while he was staying there.
I received lots of photos and video updates, which made me so happy and reassured me that Tiger was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear that he was receiving so much love and attention.
As a lovely surprise, they even gave us a thoughtful gift at the end of his stay. You can truly tell that the people at Meaw House love what they do and genuinely care about every pet they look after.
I highly recommend Meaw House to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place for their furry family member. Thank you so much for everything!
I left my 1 year old kitten with meow homez and couldn’t be happier with his care. I loved the pictures that were shared and will definitely come back here with my kittens daycare needs :)
I had a great experience with Meow Homez, They took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. I loved receiving daily pictures and updates, and communication was always prompt and reassuring. It was obvious that my cat was well cared for, and I truly appreciated the attention and kindness. I would happily book with them again. Highly recommended
I have been boarding my senior cat with meowhomez on and off this year. They go above and beyond to accommodate you. I had to extend/change the times a few times and they co operated. I can tell my cat is always very relaxed from her body language and I feel very safe and stress free when she's with them. Their pricing is also very fair and good. I highly recommend them.
Just got my cat from them they are really good! Recommend for sure.
I had a wonderful experience with MeowHomez.
I was out of town for 3 days and was quite worried about leaving my kitty behind, but they took such loving and responsible care that I felt completely at ease. They kept me updated regularly with pictures & videos which made sure that my cat is at ease and eating properly. It’s clear they truly care about animals, not just the job. I’m very grateful for their help and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet support.
Really nice couple who took good care of my kitties while I was away on vacation. They were very communicative and cared a lot about my cats wellbeing. Reasonably priced and clean home. Thank you again!
