Cat Sitters in Buckinghamshire

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND; Unfortunately, our experience of Natasha and her partner is sadly not that others appear to have had. We needed a sitter for two nights to care for our two dogs, two elderly cats and house while we had a couple of nights away for our youngest son’s wedding. Our usual house sitters weren’t available, and we had arranged for another sitter from zeewoi but just a few weeks from the wedding she had to pull out due to ill health. I republished the dates and Natasha applied. We arranged a video call as I always want to do this prior to agreeing for a sitter so I can meet them beforehand especially if they are not local and able to visit prior to the sit. It was only going to be Natasha and her son Colby and not her partner that were going to do the sit so the video call was only with her. Natasha and Colby arrived, and I ran through all the instructions for the house and pets and in particular that as we have several acres of land that the dogs were to be inside after dark. I left happy in the knowledge that Natasha and Colby were looking forward to a quiet evening watching a movie. Having enjoyed a family dinner and heading off to bed to get some sleep before the big day I notice several notifications on my phone from my external home security cameras. This was at 10.30pm and after dark and I notice that my little dog was out the front of the property and had been there since 10pm and no one was letting him even though he was barking. I then checked the other camera notifications, and I was shocked to not only see a man at my property, but he was exiting a rear patio door that was wide open with loud music coming from the room he had just left, and he was undressed. This room is my husband’s special room that holds a lot of his memorabilia from his early life which is important to us as a family as he now has dementia. I felt physically sick imagining what was going on in my property and especially this room. I contacted Natasha to ask what was going on and why were the dogs out when I had given specific instructions for them to be inside and who was the man at my property that I had not given permission to be there. She confirmed it was her partner and that he had inadvertently let the dogs out!!! I was furious but it was too late to do anything then, but I didn’t sleep all night worrying about my home and pets. In the morning, I managed to contact some friends who kindly rearranged their plans and took over. Natasha was asked to vacate the property as I needed to be happy that my home and pets were in good hands to be able to enjoy my son’s special day. This couple broke all the rules for being a Zeewoi, they were dishonest, and were disrespectful and I feel like they violated our property, they did not care for our pets as they had been asked and have tarnished the memory of our son’s wedding day. I would not recommend or trust them as sitters.

Victoria was a wonderful sitter! Very communicative before the sit, we had a lovely Zoom call and I really felt like I could trust her from the get-go. Betty was very well looked after, taken for long walks and even ate her food (so she must’ve been very content!). Victoria is a lovely person and I’d love to have her and her family back to sit again if ever the opportunity arose! I would wholeheartedly recommend her.

Jie was a fantastic sitter. So friendly and personable and took a real interest in Paddy and Tiger. She left the house in great condition and i am sure the dogs will miss her. No hesitation in recommending Jie as a sitter.

Jennifer is an excellent housesitter. She took a good care of Bruce that we found, when we came back, very relaxed and his usual sweet self. The house was left perfectly cleaned and tidy. Thank you Jennifer!

Stephen was a good communicator leading up to the housesit. He arrived the day before we left and was able to settle in and get to know Minnie. He took everything in his stride and was easy to get along with. We arrived back to a happy Minnie and clean and tidy house. Would welcome Stephen back to housesit again.

Another amazing sit by Emma and Dan. They genuinely care so much about the cats and we couldn’t ask for more attentive sitters. While we were away one of the cats stopped eating and was quite poorly. Under Emma and Dans expert care, they got help from the vet and helped to nurse her back to full strength. We can’t thank them enough. Friendly, helpful and the house was spotlessly clean, would recommend them highly to take wonderful care of your cats and your home.

Excellent sitter. Would be delighted to have Niamh sit for us again.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to meet Jack and Georgie, but they seemed lovely over video chat. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean home.

Tiarna and Matt are brilliant house/pet sitters. So lovely and friendly and reliable. I felt totally happy to leave them to look after everything. I had a daily update without asking for it which was great and gave me peace of mind. I would not hesitate to have them again

Lily was our first housesitter and we couldn't have asked for a better person. She is trustworthy, friendly and reliable - and a genuinely delightful person! Great communication, and looked after our garden, house and cats brilliantly. Highly recommended.

Hi highly recommend Sam. She was incredibly diligent in knowing what both our cat and we needed. She was highly responsive to communication both before and during the sit. The house was left immaculate and, most importantly, our cat was calm and relaxed when we returned. I will definitely ask Sam to sit for us again

I would highly recommend Maura and Nick as sitters. As this is our first time using a sitter I felt the communication while we were away was just at the right level. The house was spotless on return and our ducks and hens all happy. Maura was well organised, flexible and understanding as our house is still a work in progress.
