Pet Sitters in Brightlingsea

Shelley & Ian

We are so thankful to Shelley and Ian for looking after our dog, Boo, for a long weekend. As soon as we welcomed them into our home, Boo was all over them and I knew that we were leaving her in great hands. The daily updates showed us just how happy Boo was in their company. We would highly recommend Shelley and Ian to anyone looking for caring sitters and we'd welcome then back any time.

David W

David looked after our two dogs and our house beautifully for 9 days. He communicated in good time and was able to be flexible when our travel plans changed slightly. The house was spotless and the dogs beautifully groomed. He was incredibly calm and capable and we would have no hesitation at all in asking him to come again. He certainly seemed to love our dogs so hopefully this will be the case!

Kerry

Kerry is a pet owners dream. Our dogs adored her and so did we. We received daily photos and news and regular updates about anything affecting our pups and our home in our absence . When we returned the house was immaculate and the dogs were happy and relaxed, there was even a delicious pot of home made soup ready for us. She is very capable, self sufficient, intelligent, caring and pleasant.

Maryna & Andrew

Maryan and Andrew were super. They took great care of my menagerie and also my home. I will definitely invite them to stay in the future.

Ashley & Kelly

Ashley, Kelly and their girls have housesat for us a couple of times now and they are always amazing. They are such a lovely family who love the great outdoors. Our animals are always very happy with them - we trust them completely with our home and fur babies. We always return to a spotless house and beautiful gifts made by their girls. They are always welcome to housesit for us.

Rebecca

Everything was fabulous with Becs and Chris from start to finish. Highly accommodating, clean and tidy. Very obvious dog lovers. It was a short stay but they adjusted to my rather last minute request with such kindness and put my mind at rest that our home and dogs were so well cared for. Hope we see you again. 😊

Marcus

Sophie and Marcus are AMAZING!! The best sitters you could get. We've had lots of people sitting for our pet but Sophie and Marcus top the list ❤️ They were so organised and reliable. They organised a video call beforehand to get to know our cat and the flat. They sent lots of pictures whilst we were away and gave us updates throughout. Came back to a cat who was clearly annoyed we were returning instead of Sophie and Marcus!! The flat was absolutely spotless and they'd stripped the bed and put a wash on. They also gave our cat some medicine, which was much appreciated. So grateful to Sophie and Marcus for looking after Carl and highly, highly recommend them. Your pet will be in the best hands 🙌

Henry & Ilze

Henry and Ilze were amazing! The pups were super happy and well looked after. They even helped us with some house emergencies while we were away!

Hollie

What a wonderful first experience with Zeewoi. Hollie and Jake are a caring thoughtful couple and I would highly recommend them. They had a challenge with minding 2 refuge foster dogs and they over excelled! The dogs loved them and I arrived home to a calm pair. Thank you thank you thank you Hollie and Jake.

Shelley & Stefan

Shelley & Ned thank you! From the moment we first spoke up until we returned home communication was perfect! We felt so confident in your ability to handle our pack and you made us feel so at ease. We are so glad you had a great time with our growing family and hope that one day you can return. The dogs were so happy and content when we returned which is the most important thing for us, the house was absolutely spotless so thank you. We would definitely recommend you - 5 stars! x

Sarah & Stu

Our first experience having a family stay and it was a good one. Unfortunately we had to leave before Sarah and her family arrived but they were here on time and sent regular updates and pics which was lovely. House left clean and tidy and let’s all happy. Thanks Sarah.

Gillian

Gill and Robert were calm and caring and our dogs were obviously happy and settled with them. We would happily have them to sit again.

Jeffrey

A delightful couple who bonded with and cared for our dogs better than anyone could expect,  we ( including the dogs) were sad to see them leave.

Clair

Nessie & Dougal’s home is truly delightful and matched by Clair’s family’s hospitality. All the way through the application process it was such a positive experience and the sit still exceeded expectations. 

Nessie was such a grand old lady for Rob and I, following us dutifully in whatever room we dwelled. Dougal was even easier to strike up a friendship with and was always first upstairs with us at bedtime.

Communication with the family was easy and we really enjoyed our interactions making it a shame to have to leave at the end of the sit.

We highly recommend looking after Nessie & Dougal and enjoying the beautiful Surrey countryside in Clair’s beautiful home.
