Pet Sitters in Bargoed

Zoe

We loved having Zoe and her daughter to stay! The perfect sitter for us, our pets and home. Great communication, so helpful, and left our home spotless! This was our first time using a sitter and we were absolutely thrilled to have Zoe who was so self sufficient, excited to explore the area and who took care of our 2 cats like they were hers!

Linda

Linda was brilliant. Very organised, reliable and tidy.

Joy & John

Gosh, Joy and John were dream sitters! This was the first time leaving our little babies in someone else's care and Joy and John made us feel completely relaxed from start to finish. The kittens took to them right away. They were equal parts considerate, easygoing and thorough, sending updates, leaving the house cleaner than they found it, and being incredibly gracious about an unforeseen wifi hiccup. The whole process made us feel very grateful for this platform and the wonderful people on it :)

Alankrita

Alankrita, Vidya and their son put their heart into looking after our pets. They were very responsive and gave me regular update. They are organised and reliable. Alan even sent us some painting she did of the pets which was a lovely touch! All the best

Hannah

Hannah and Oli were an absolute dream for us. They sent us videos and photographs and I could tell that they had formed a lovely bond with Melon. They went out of their way to help me solve a work problem for me, and when we returned home the place was spotless (and they left us home made Welsh cakes). A dream couple whom we would defo use again and again.

Dee

Dee and Zeph were wonderful and we hit it off immediately. They looked after Beren and Cally for a whole month and sent photos for us to see how the cats were doing. On arrival home both cats were so relaxed that they barely cared that we were back. Beren obviously worshipped Zeph (probably for letting him win at Monopoly - a whole other story!). The house was immaculate when we got back. Dee is honest and hardworking and I would recommend her without hesitation. Our house is quirky and not 'normal' in many senses and she and Zeph happily adapted to things. I would have them back anytime.

Ellie

Ellie was great at keeping touch from the time she applied for the sit to the day she left our house. We met up for her to meet the dogs then she took the time to visit them at home as well so she knew the house and area. I highly recommend working with Ellie. She is reliable, engaging and our three dogs loved her. This was a great first experience for us with zeewoi.

Claire

Claire was lovely and Looked after Missy and Minnie very well, as well as watering my garden etc. very self sufficient and good communicating. Would defo recommend for other sits.

Beatriz

Beatriz and Ronan looked after our dogs very well and took them on lots of walks. The dogs had a good time with them both.

Katie

Katie and Hannah were absolutely brilliant! They were happy to have a facetime prior to the sit and we're very good at communicating before and during the sit. They took such great care of my dog and left my home in a lovely clean state. I would definitely have them come stay again!

Paige

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Paige. We had a great feeling about her upon first meeting her online, and that was confirmed when we met her in person. She LOVES animals and she is engaged, reliable, clean, tidy and a lovely person as well. She followed all of our instructions to the letter, gave us regular updates and checked in when things didn’t seem right to her with our cat Henry (he was fine!). When our puppy Pretzels was having gastrointestinal problems, Paige let us know right away when new symptoms arose and took her to the vet twice while we were away. Though we felt worried about Paige for having to do extra caring for Pretzels, we never had to be worried about our puppy who was very clearly in very capable hands with Paige. It was also lovely to hear about all the adventures Paige enabled Pretzels to have despite her tummy bug. Pretzels clearly adored her, as did our cat Henry who chose to sleep in Paige’s bed rather than ours after our return! Thank you for everything, Paige, and please come back when you can!

Gemma & Ben

This was only a one night sit but Gemma and Ben included Ziggy in everything they did and showed him a lot of love. They even made a super little TikTok video of Ziggy’s time with them which really touched me (they even included Ziggy in feeding the fish in the pond). It was only a one night sit, which we were very grateful to find, so I did tell Gemma NOT to do any cleaning or bother with the bed, but we came home to a spotless kitchen and yes, the bed was stripped and duvet folded neatly. And Ziggy was clearly so comfortable and happy when we got home. Thank you

Leila

Thank you Leila and Rob for asking us to come and pet sit, yet another rewarding THS experience!...their home is in the middle of the most stunning countryside and just an easy, fifteen minute walk to the nearest town....perfect!

Due to following measures to keep us all safe against coronavirus we had a brief handover but Leila and Rob had thought of everything we needed to know and were great at responding to WhatsApp messages.

The pets were a delight...Natty, their dog, is hugely affectionate and patiently accepted having her eye drops administered each evening and she is so, so gentle with the kittens, especially Spider who often curled up with Natty. 
The kittens, Spider and Minnie, were great fun. They're only four months old and are typically curious and adventurous, we were only with them for a short time but we saw them develop their sense of adventure and Minnie grew a fondness for Richard's lap and laptop! What is it with cats and laptops?!

We would happily look after this trio again...it would be great to see how Spider and Minnie develop!

Olivia

I had a fantastic time taking care of coco. Olivia and Nigel were so welcoming and hospitable, they ensured I was comfortable and had everything I need. They provided excellent instructions and guidance for coco, she was a delight and very low maintenance. The area has many nice walks, close to a couple of shops, pubs and a fish and chip shop😋 You’ll definitely leave feeling super relaxed and zen! Highly recommend!

Rachel

Doug, Rachel and Bosco were amazing! Such loving pet parents and their hospitality made it hard to leave. And Bosco was such a sweet baby! I enjoyed this sit for sure!

Annie

Thank you Annie and Carson for letting me care for Selah and Simone- I had the best time with them. 

A & C's house is huge, comfortable and in a great part of Portland. Caring for the cats was easy. They are both very fun and love playing, especially in the evening after their dinner. I spent most my days and evenings at home working, with the kitties by my side. I would highly recommend this sit if you get the opportunity. 

Thank you again!

Nansi

This was a great wee pit stop sit with Nansi and crew. First experience with a Husky which was brilliant, would definitely have loved longer with Frank and father-daughter duo Dustin and Rocky. Excellent characters to hang out with. If you don't mind pups in the bed, these three will be happy for the invite. And I'm always happy to oblige. 

Nansi was fantastic - very clear, super easy to chat and lovely in person. Recommended sit.

Thanks again!

Holly

Holly is lovely, leaves clear instructions and was always on call in case something is up. Winnie and Evie are adorable, very cute cats always up for a cuddle. Easy to look after them.
