Cat Sitters in Cottingham

Susan

Sue was the perfect house sitter. She used her time here to explore the area and took my dogs Darcy and Lottie with her in her car. They went somewhere different every day walking, and Darcy had plenty of opportunities to swim. Sue sent photos and videos of their adventures and it was clear that the dogs were having a brilliant time. It was immediately apparent that my dogs were confident and very happy in her care, and I'm in no doubt that they would love to see her again. Sue's visit coincided with a few days of warm, dry weather so she ensured the plants in pots in the garden were watered. The house was clean and tidy on my return. Sue had stripped the bed and washed and dried the bedding, towels and tea towels. There was nothing for me to do but enjoy the flowers she had left around the house and sample the delicious jam she made while here. It was an absolute pleasure having Sue at my home and she will be welcomed back by us all if she ever wishes to come back.

Serena & Duncan

Serena and Duncan were a joy to have looking after our home and Kitten, our much loved cat. They were communicative and prompt at responding to messages, sent us just the right amount of updates while we were away and left the house just as we had left it - clean and tidy and with a very kind gift of a plant with a lovely card. Kitten looks fit and well and very happy. We would definitely recommend Serena and Duncan and would love to have them back again.

Debra & Christopher

Wonderful caring couple. I would not hesitate in snapping up Debra & Chris. One of our cats went walk abouts and they went out of there way to find him. House was left spotless and they watered our indoor and outdoor plants..

Ian & Susan

Ian and Susan are amazing ! They looked after our dog Tilly who loves them! The house and garden are always pristine on our return . Can't wait for this gem to come again x

Anne & David

Anne was brilliant! She is a lovely very friendly helpful person who clearly loves animals. From the get go she got on with the cats and took on all the responsibilities. She kept me informed daily and I came home to happy cats and a clean home. Couldn’t wish for more!

Kay

It was a delight having Kay pet and garden sit for me. She came the night before so we had time to get acquainted and to show her my routines which was really helpful. My dog Jinks got on with her straight away, even sitting on her lap when mine was available (quite unusual ). Whilst I was away, not only did she look after Jinks well, keeping me informed about how things were going, but planted out some of my vegetable seedlings that I hadn’t managed to do before I left! Several of my neighbours have commented about how relaxed and contented Jinks seemed when they met them out on walks in the village. I would happily have Kay come again any time!

Melissa

This is the second time Melissa has sat for me. She is very reliable, and all my pets love her. I have her booked again for next month. Would definitely recommend her.

Tayler

Tayler and Rowan were fantastic. They communicated well both before and during the sit. They took good care of Otto and took him for lovely walks - he really took to them. The house was extremely clean and tidy when we returned. What a delightful couple, we would have them back any time and can fully recommend them.

Phillipa

Phillipa was great and looked after the house and Nell beautifully. We met a couple of months pre sit and went through everything which was really helpful. Phillipa arrived a couple of hours before we left for a handover which again was really helpful. Phillipa contacted us as needed during the stay and gave us some updates on Nell etc but was generally self sufficient. Her relatives joined her on the stay for a few days but she asked permission for this well in advance and it was no problem at all. On return the house was spotless and lawn mowed which was an added bonus. Nell was happy when we got back and hadn’t lost any of her training / behaviours and Phillipa has obviously done a good job re-enforcing this. Highly recommend - thanks Phillipa

Barbara & Mark

Barbara Mark and Carla were fantastic pet sitters we couldn’t have wished for anyone better for our fur baby Beau!

Rachel

Rachel and Matt were wonderful house sitters. They looked after Murphy so well and sent regular updates and photos of what he had been up to over the weekend. My home was also left clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend and will use them again

Jean

Jean has done several sits for me now and I know I can always rely on her to take good care of my house and cat. Can recommend her. Nico is always happy after a week with Jean.

Tracy

Deena and Brent are an absolutely wonderful couple who took fantastic care of our cat and our house.   The day they arrive Brent fixed a broken water pipe in the garden while we were busy with last minute packing.  They took good care of our pool which also had an issue while we were away, and dealt with a flat tyre on the car.  We returned to a sparkling clean house and the garden had been well watered.  We would have Deena and Brent care for our cat and house again in a flash.

Edward

Mandy and Lee were absolutely phenomenal. I can’t recommend them highly enough to anyone else on zeewoi.

Before the sit, Mandy and Lee were very flexibly, accommodating our travel plans with their arrival time.

During the sit Mandy and Lee were amazing with our dog, Coco. It was really clear to us they treated her wonderfully. Plus, Mandy and Lee were very communicative sharing lots of updates.

When we returned home, Mandy and Lee were again very flexible, adapting to our travel plans. And, they left our home in perfect condition.

Really lovely people. An asset to the zeewoi site and community.
