Beth and Matthew have been my first house sitters - and I was their first house sit too. Beth and Matthew have been great. I was a little nervous as this was the first time I've the zeewoi platform and service. Beth contacted me to let me know that one of my dogs had a sore on her chest and sent me a video to let me see and decide what to do. We agreed my dog needed to be seen by a vet and within a few hours my dog had antibiotics. Beth even popped into a shop to buy my dog a jumper to wear as the vet had recommended this to stop her scratching the sore. When I got home Beth had washed all their bedding and the house was clean and tidy. Both Beth and Matthew are a lovely couple and I would definitely recommend them both if you are looking for reliable and trustworthy house and pet sitters.
Erica was great! Easy to communicate with and very self -sufficient when we ended up being out of service for several days. Pingo and the house were clearly in good hands, we came back to a spotless house with a freshly made bed and a happy dog. We'd definitely have Erica again!
I am so grateful to Victoria for taking such wonderful care of my elder cats,, Zoe and Mischief, my home and my garden! She stayed in touch, and even sent photos of Zoe and Mischief, which further reassured me that my kitties and my home were in good hands while I was away. In short, I feel lucky to have connected with Victoria through zeewoi, wouldn't hesitate to call on her again, and recommend her without reservation.
This was my first time using zeewoi. Not only did I have to prepare my home for a guest but prepare myself for leaving my boys with someone I had only met through a zoom call. Right away, I was put at ease as Sharon just gravitated right to my boys. She asked questions about info that I had missed in my welcome pack that made me rest assured that she was on the ball. Throughout my trip, Sharon kept in touch with me about how the boys were getting along... I was so relieved hearing that their usual playful selves was apparent. Given that our flight home was going to be late, she insisted on waiting until we were heading out of the airport before leaving the boys with their last walk until we came home. When we walked through our front door, the boys were chilling out, our home was spotless, and she even washed the bedding. I can recommend Sharon with 100% certainty that your pets will be in great hands. Thanks Sharon for everything.
Jaclyn was a wonderful sitter for our dog Tucker! She was always quick to respond to communications, she was easy-going and excited to sit with Tucker, she shared updates (with pictures) while we were away, and she left our house cleaner than when we left - she even ran the dishwasher, which we forgot to do before we left! She and Tucker bonded immediately, and when we returned home it was clear that he had a great time with Jaclyn. We can't recommend her highly enough!
I can’t say enough good things about Felicia! She was willing to come over ahead of time so we could meet her. Lele took an instant liking to her (and I think it was mutual).😁 Felicia showed up on time, checked in on a regular basis while I was away, and sent photos of Lele, too. I tend to over prepare, and Felicia was accepting of that and helped me feel okay about my preparation and absence. I felt very comfortable leaving, knowing the most important thing, Lele, was well taken care of. This is my first time using zeewoi, so I didn’t really know what to expect. Felicia far exceeded all of my hopes and expectations. I would absolutely love to have Felicia come back again!
I am so glad that my cat, Duque, and I met Sharon! She is a wonderful person, very kind with pets, thorough with house care and communicative. Sharon's cleaning (and brownies!) went above and beyond and my cat did not seem to have missed me much when I got home. I recommend Sharon if she applies for your sit and we hope to welcome her back to our home one day.
Julie and Adrian were ideal pet and house sitters. Julie and Damian are very friendly and made sure to go over details and ask questions when they arrived. We came home to very happy and contented pets. Our dog and cat clearly got lots of love and attention (also clear from the great photos that Julie and Adrian sent us). The house was immaculate when we came home. We could not ask for better, more trusted, house sitters.
Although they are experienced pet sitters this was their first sit with zeewoi and they were wonderful. Jyoti (our cat) was completely at ease and spent plenty of time on their laps. The chickens were well looked after and they managed the broody one efficiently. Excellent communication before and during the house sit. They followed our detailed instructions conscientiously and left the house clean and tidy. They cooked a meal for us on our return and we enjoyed getting to know them. We would welcome them back any time and highly recommend them for future sits.
Lea was so wonderful, we highly recommend her. She was friendly and communicative throughout, sending us daily updates and photos. We returned back to a beautifully cleaned house and a very happy cat, we are so grateful- she was an absolute delight
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 19.99 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
They looked after our 'new to kennels' very scared little dog with sensitivity, flexibility and kindness. We are grateful for his first experience to be a very positive one, and we can highly recommend the kennels and staff. It is in a beautiful setting and put our minds at rest over the long weekend we needed our dog to be looked after. Thank you Strawbyn.
WORST EXPERIENCE- I called and asked how much it would be for our dog too stay Saturday morning til Tuesday- they quoted me £90 over the phone and said I had too book in for a taster day-which I did! I explained she was a female rotti but no bigger than labador size( very petite), but when I dropped her off for her taster day the owner changed her mind and said I need to pay £35 a day( classed her as a giant dog) So we dropped Millie off Saturday 30th March ( Easter weekend) the girl at the desk said I need to pay extra £35 due to bank holiday- this was never mentioned on the phone or on the taster day, apparently they didn’t realise it was Easter weekend when I booked ( not my problem) . They never respond to emails… awful customer service-wrong prices quoted! Overall terrible experience- looking at previous reviews someone else was over charged a year ago so this isn’t the first time they have done this….. BE CAREFUL!!’ ALSO PAID CASH AND NEVER HAD A RECEIPT …….
Lovely kennels but not such a marvellous experience as last year when a gentleman cared for our difficult dog wonderfully. This years staff not as knowledgeable, so she missed out on a lot. Will use again though very definitely.
We booked Bella in for a taster day prior to us leaving her at the kennels at the end if the month. I had a tour of the facilities and was reassured by talking to the owners that Bella would be well looked after and walked at least four times a day. When we collected her she was relaxed and happy.
Recently put 2 x cats and 2 x dogs into Strawbyn cattery/kennels for 2 weeks. Dogs seem very 'chilled out' when I collect them after 2 weeks.... Dogs have lead walks and there are a couple of secure fields at the kennels where dogs can run free during their exercise times. Kennel sizes vary depending whether you bring 1, 2 or a family of dogs .....
Jane and John are excellent and experienced doggie hosts. We are holidaying in the area and they took our dog on trust for a couple of doggie day care days without a taster day, which we really appreciated. . They have been brilliant with Benson and he certainly enjoyed his experience at Strawbyn. Highly recommended
rude and unhelpful woman answered the phone and wanted to charge me for two days for a 24 hour stay.needless to say i went elsewhere
We recently used the services of Strawbyn to kennel our two dogs Archie and Tilly for two weeks in the summer. What a fantastic place so clean and professionally run by John and his team. Both Archie and Tilly were well looked after by the team and are looking forward to there Holiday next year. I highly recommend Strawbyn to look after your little treasures.
I use Strawbyn Boarding Kennels a lot over the annual period, These guys are amazing with what they have achieved and they are such a professional outfit. I have a beagle called Vinnie and every time i drop him off here he is excited beyond belief, I actually think he suffers from withdrawal symptoms as his holiday was such a great experience. Thanks guys and keep up the great work :-))
Highly recommend Strawbyn Dog Kennels, I am a Professional Dog Walker and several of my clients are recommended by me to use this super clean facility. Dogs are exercised 4 times daily and leave well adjusted and content. Thank you Strawbyn.
Lulu is a border terrier and she has stayed at giddydogs on many occasions! Highly recommend.
When I was let down a week before my holiday, I contacted Sit Stay! Animal Care with little hope but I had a helpful reply straight away. Chris is accommodating and caring and I can't praise her highly enough. We met up a couple of days later and my dog took to her straight away. I was so relieved to leave Lucy with such a kind and competent person and the almost daily texts and emails meant I didn't have to worry at all during my holiday. Nothing was too much trouble and I would thoroughly recommend her.
I was injured recently and so was unable to look after my mare properly. I was passed Chris' details by another livery on my yard who had used her when she went on holiday and recommended her to me. Chris was absolutely amazing and, due to the unexpected circumstances and urgency for help, she came out to visit me and my mare the very same day that I contacted her. I was reassured by her calm nature and easy going personality. My mare, who can be a bit of a handful, also took to her and was relaxed throughout the week or so that Chris helped me. Chris is punctual, tidy, confident with horses and very reasonably priced. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris and would definitely use her again in the future.
I have 5 dogs as well as chickens to care for, and have used Mrs Day's pet/house sitting service on many occasions both to live in and for short daily visits. I have complete confidence in her and know I simply 'leave her to get on with' whatever needs doing. Her animal care is exemplary, she is reliable, confident and caring, putting the needs of her charges first. She is always ready to help and has a 'can do' approach stepping in at very short when asked. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
Chris is a genuine lovely lady and done fantastic job not just looking after our 3 cats but also our home while we was on holiday, she even sent us emails just saying how it was going which gave us such peace of mind. She even had no quibbles over having to administer medication to one of my cats. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use again.
I can't rate the service Chris provides highly enough. Our animals love her! She is extremely reliable and takes the trouble to get to know your pets and individual requirements before her first stay. Our two dogs have very different needs: one a good long walk and the other, due to old age, a quick game of ball on the field opposite our house. This can be time consuming but Chris, anxious to maintain the dogs' regular routines, is happy to oblige. She's a considerate house guest too. (Mindful of how much washing holidays generate, she offered to bring a sleeping bag for a short stay.) Pet care when away used to be a real worry for us - often meaning we couldn't make family functions - but, happily, this is no longer the case.
Totally reliable and absolutely brilliant with all our assorted animals we cannot recommend Chris highly enough. It is such a relief to know that we are able to go away and we do not need to worry about them or indeed the house and garden...her service is invaluable... Happy owners of chickens,ducks,kune kune pigs, pygmy goats, two dogs and one cat! Alisoun and Alec Bilous.
Louise and Xris are lovely human beings. They care deeply about animals and in making sure they are safe and happy. Louise and Xris live their ethics and values and that is important to me. I have 2 kittens who needed transporting to the vets numerous times over a 2 week period. I don’t drive and the bus service is unreliable. Xris has been amazing in looking after and transporting my kittens back and forth and this has relieved me of a huge amount of stress. If you are reading this and wondering whether to get in contact with them, do it, you will not be disappointed! Thank you both x
We have 3 dogs and a cat all have their little peculiarities which makes trusting someone else to look after them a HUGH decision. When we met xris and louise we instantly knew they were animal people and the dogs would trust them. I cannot recommend them enough. Xris looked after, not only the dogs and the cat but also my polytunnel, newly sown seedlings and left the house cleaner than I had. The dogs were happy, chilled and had obviously had a lovely time. Such a good service I’m looking to book another holiday to make up for the 4 years without one!!!!
I am so grateful to Louise for stepping in at the last minute to look after my 16 year old girls, due to our previously booked sitter not being able to do the full week. We had a lovely meeting where she took down all the details about my cats feeding and toileting preferences and I was happy to relax and leave them in her care, as she was so kind and very experienced. We got back to a lovely clean feeding area and set of litter trays. Communication was great throughout our time away. I will definitely use Louise in the future.
Well what can I say, I was very apprehensive about what would happen with the dogs when we went away for 10 nights as kennels have not been the best experience in the past. But from the minute we contacted, Xris and Louise they have been fantastic, they introduced themselves slowly to our 3 (who can be anxious at times) took them for walks prior to the sit which worked amazingly. Communication is fantastic, we had regular updates while we were away letting us know how they were doing. We came home to 3 very happy and very well looked after dogs 🐕. I will definitely be booking again and we have asked for frequent walks to maintain a bond. 5 stars and I'll recommend to anyone I meet. Thanks guys xx
Louise was amazing from start to finish. We abandoned our house to go to our sons wedding, she very kindly looked after our boys and tidied up for me. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending her and Xris to look after your pets and home. If I could give more stars I would ⭐️
Xris and louise was very warm and friendly to talk to and both knew how to handle my 2 and a half year old German shepherd on the meeting alone and was a bit unsure and barky when xris came to walk and him and was best friends by the time they cake back 🤣would definitely recommend xris and louise if your in need of dog walking or any other pet problems you may have ❤️
Brilliant! Odin loved having Xris looking after him! He was very happy and chilled when we come home! They listened so well to learn all they can about Odin and even took him for a walk! Would definitely recommend them to look after your fur baby and would definitely use them again xx
I couldn't recommend these guys enough they stepped in last minute to look after my dogs. Louise took time out if her day to come and meet them all before she stayed the following day. Louise reassured me and put me at ease leaving my dogs in her hands for the day. I had lots of updates and photos though the day. Louise is a true animal lover and so kind and caring. Louise will definitely be a regular at our house and welcomed with open paws!! 🐾 Thanks again!!
We have never had a house sitter before for our 4 dogs, they can be a handful and have their own quirks!! However the second we met Louise, Xris and holly we knew our gang would be truly looked after and spoiled, nothing was too much trouble, and they did everything we do to make sure the dogs routine was the same. Loads of pictures and updates, and our Gina g looked truly sad when they were leaving! Thank you so so much, you guys are amazing and have made our holiday even better knowing our fur babies were looked after xx
Louise and Xris recently looked after my cats whilst I went away on holiday and have been fantastic. Quick and easy to communicate with and had a visiting plan set up within 24 hours. Very caring and professional couple and would definitely ask them to look after my cats again
