Pet Sitters in Botley

Adam & Catalina

Catalina and Adam were fantastic. They communicated clearly with me well ahead of time so everything was ready when they arrived. They were friendly and kind. They sent photos each day and left the house super clean. Would definitely recommend them.

Hilary

Hilary and Tim were exceptionally good at caring for our dog and cat. In fact, at one point we thought our dog was going to jump in the car and go home with them. We came back to a lovely clean house, a warm welcome and a hot meal. They obviously loved being with the animals, which made our holiday so much more relaxing as we weren't worrying about our pets. We very much hope they will come and housesit for us again. Don't hesitate to accept them if they offer to sit.

Adrian & Katharine

Couldn’t recommend Adrian and Katherine enough - the best sitters we have met so far! They went out of their way to be flexible when we had some logistical challenges due to delayed flights. The dogs were really happy with them and the house was spotless when we returned. To top it all, they’re really lovely people too 😃

Natasha

A great sitter, jointly with her Mum. We had the impression that our dogs would have been happy to have gone home with them! Very content dogs on return clearly walked lots, relaxed and healthy.

Carole Stephanie & Teresa

Steph and Teresa looked after our dog Amber for three weeks whilst we were away. They looked after her and our house beautifully, keeping in touch and sharing lots of pics of Amber on some fantastic walks. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

India & Ashley

India and Ashley arrived on the dot, and India's response to our WhatsApp messages was always prompt. We were very happy with her comprehensive understanding of Maya and Lando's daily routine, and had no doubts about leaving them. We came back to two smiley, happy dogs ! (We only met Ashley briefly, but that wasn't an issue.)

Faith & Alun

Faith was excellent in responding to any messages both ahead of our trip and during it. We received regular updates and photos which provided us with a great deal of reassurance as it was our first time using this service. We have to admit we were nervous about inviting strangers into our home to look after our much loved Harley. But we need not have worried as it was obvious Harley was happy, well exercised and looked after. As well as looking after Harley, Faith and her family looked after our home very well. They cleaned it for our return, stripping the beds and cleaned all the laundry ahead of our return. They even left us the milk and bread for our return. If you’re new to zeewoi like us and nervous, you can rely on Faith and her family to look after you pet and home, we would love to use them again.

Harry

Harry was a great sitter. Polite and easy going, he looked after Doris well, adapting his walks to help her recover from a recent injury. He was very self sufficient, but kept me updated with Doris enough that I felt she was in good hands. Would recommend.

Mathew

Matthew, Rebecca & their two children were great housesitters & took wonderful care of all our animals. They shared regular updates & photos whilst we were away & were so attentive & friendly throughout the process. We returned to a neat & tidy home & most importantly happy & well cared for pets. We would happily have Matt, Becki, Max & Ruby back to look after our house & pets next time we go away.

Barbara

We invited Barbara to come and look after Whiskey for us and she was very quick to respond and keen to help. We had a chat and Barbara arrived promptly at the requested time and had a fun time with Whiskey, taking her on long walks, looking after her and enjoying her company, when we got home Barbara said she had enjoyed herself and she left the house clean and tidy. From our experience I would highly recommend Barbara to look after your dog, Whiskey had lots of cuddles and fun. Thank you so much, Barbara.

Kasia

Kasia and her daughters did a great job of looking after our 2 cats and house. We received regular photo updates and it was clear they genuinely enjoyed looking after them. The cats were well cared for and played with. The house was left clean and tidy, towels and bedding washed and plants were watered. Communication was excellent throughout their stay. We are very happy with their sit and would definately have them again, Thankyou Kasia!

Heather

This was the first time for us leaving our cat with a sitter and straight away we were very comfortable with Heather and were happy to leave him with her. We enjoyed getting updates during the holiday and seeing photos of him. We were never worried and it meant that we could truly relax.

Clare

Clare and Gareth were wonderful hosts, they welcomed us warmly, treated us to dinner and made sure we were well acquainted with the workings of their home. We were incredibly comfortable during our stay, their barn house is kitted out with great gadgets, beautiful decor and houses two adorable springer spaniels. We loved lighting the fire every evening and cuddling with Hamish and Skye on the sofa. Clare was kind enough to let us use her home gym, leave us a few provisions and communicate with us whilst she was away, which is something that, as house sitters, really stands out as gestures of appreciation. Skye and Hamish were very lively dogs to look after, they were so much fun to walk and play with. We took them to a nearby forest and they were incredibly well-behaved. We would thoroughly recommend a sit at Clare and Gareth's (as it was one of our favourites), they are very kind and genuine people. If you love affectionate, playful, well-trained dogs, then caring for Hamish and Skye will be a blast! We won't ever forget them!

Karen & Dan

Norma and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ludlow. Tilley is a lovely dog and we enjoyed walking her around Ludlow's parks, streets and castle. The home is beautiful and very comfortable. Both Dan and Karen were lovely hosts. We would love the opportunity to repeat the visit next year.

Jake

Jake and Charlie were such lovely hosts, and were super welcoming from the start. You can’t help but love Boots as soon as you meet him - he’s a super friendly, relaxed, and surprisingly cuddly cat too!! Their apartment was stunning, so clean and beautifully decorated as well. Can’t wait to look after Boots again in the future! :)
