Cat Sitters in Abinger Hammer

Jj & Louis

We are delighted to share our exceptional experience with JJ and Louis as our house and pet sitters. As newcomers to the world of Zeewoi, we were a little nervous but our encounter with them was an entirely positive one. Without hesitation, we would absolutely reengage their services and recommend to others, they gave us total peace of mind when looking after our home and animals. Their exceptional communication skills were evident from the moment of booking and throughout their stay. They consistently sent updates and photos on WhatsApp, ensuring we were always in the loop. Any concerns or questions they had were promptly shared with us, demonstrating their transparency and trustworthy approach to the well-being of our pets and home. Their responsibilities involved looking after 2 dogs, 2 cats, a tortoise and fish and watering a large garden. Their task was undoubtedly challenged, as they also had to handle 2 untrained kittens, a situation that proved to be quite demanding at times, in terms of litter training and keeping doors shut etc. The weather was also atrocious during their stay but their positivity, adaptability and reliability shone through, making them an entirely trustworthy choice. They are clearly experienced with animals and evidently genially care about them, going above and beyond to make sure they were happy and cared for and even bought the kittens a little play tunnel. In fact I'm uncertain whether our pets even realised when we returned, which is quite unusual, as the dogs and cats usually sulk for days after we're back! Upon our return, we were pleasantly surprised to find a thoughtful gesture of wine, flowers, treats for the animials and a thank you note, a testament to their genuine care and appreciation for the opportunity and their love of animals. I would absolutely recommend JJ and Louis to anyone seeking top-notch house and pet sitters.

Shirhan

Shirhan was amazing. She stepped in to help out at short notice, took great care of our cat and generally was a pleasure to interact with. We really enjoyed having her stay, and would love to have her again.

Anastasia

Reliable as always, Thank you.

Madeleine

Our home and pets were looked after very well. Madeleine was very friendly and sent updates which is always welcome. She was very tidy and the house was just how we left it. We wouldn’t hesitate in having her stay and look after our pets again.

Cameron

Cam and Chloe were so sweet. They were super easy to coordinate with and asked great questions before the sit to ensure they were the right fit for to watch Wally. And Wally loved them!! He got to go on many adventures with Cam and Chloe. When I returned, he was exhausted, which is always a sign he had a great time. Highly recommend!

Rhiain

Rhiain and Ben were absolutely fantastic! Our 2 pups were very well taken care of, as was our home. This was such a great experience and I would highly recommend Rhiain and Ben to anyone looking for reliable, kind and respectful house and pet sitters. We would have them watch our pets and home again in a heartbeat!

Could not recommend Maggie and Tom more highly. Did a fantastic job of looking after our animals, they were all so well cared for. The house was left spotless, they did a fantastic job.

Sarah was friendly and professional. She looked after Tia and Lucky very well and sent regular updates. Sarah was very understanding when some workmen needed access to the house. Sarah left the house clean and tidy. We would highly recommend Sarah as your next pet/house sitter

Rupert & Tonia

Rupert and his daughter looked after Sausage my 13yo Border Terrier so well. He was loved, cuddled, fed, watered, walked and generally got all the attention he wanted ... and then some! The house was left immaculate and my roof terrace plants watered. Would highly recommend Rupert to other dog owners.

Elise & Kevin

Elise and Kevin took care of our cat for a longer trip in the summer. They were wonderful housesitters, taking great care of our cat and home, leaving it spotless and giving us regular updates. I would warmly recommend theses lovely folk!

Jenny

Jan and Annette were our very first house sitters and we couldn't have been more satisfied with the experience.  From our first conversation we knew that our dog Bella and our house would be in safe hands.  Communication both before the sit and during was easy.  They arrived absolutely on the dot and after a nice lunch together we were able to depart on holiday with confidence.  We returned to a house that was at least as clean and tidy as we left it and even bed linen had been washed which was a bonus. Most of all we are pleased that Jan, Annette and their son enjoyed the house and surroundings and Bella was clearly sad to see them go.  We would invite them to sit again without question.
