Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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 €15 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!
Our first choice when we have to go abroad. I'm sure our dog's holidays are as good as ours!
Excellent!!
I went on vacation for a week, leaving my dog and cat at this residence that I had been told very well about, but for me they fell short. The place is very well maintained and clean, they showed me where my little ones would be, the professionals treated me very closely, especially Diego who treated my animals with great familiarity, they didn't give me any problems being able to bring them their beds. During my absence they sent me photos and videos, they looked very good. When I arrived to pick up my dog he was so calm resting in his bed that he didn't even hear me enter. And the place where my kitten was seemed very successful with its scratching tree to climb, each of the cats' apartments has its own window. 100% recommended. I will repeat again. I already have my trusted marble residence. Thank you!!
Very good service and family atmosphere, they have been attentive to my cat throughout his stay. Good communication through photos and videos. I recommend it!
Our dog is happy there Great deal Thank you for taking care of our furry friend
Our experience has been excellent. We left our 7-month-old dog for 5 days and every two days they sent us a video or photos of her. When I picked her up she was perfect and even played with the caregiver. The private space where they are is spacious both inside and outside. Our dog is a large breed. Thank you Manu for all your attention.
Well, we left the dog this morning because we thought the facilities were very adequate with large spaces for the animals, clean, airy and with a very well-sized individual protection space. With the regret that remains for us to leave our dog and the corresponding distress, we believe that he will be well treated by Martina and Diego as I have seen with the other dogs that were there.
I'm very sorry to say this but the experience has been disastrous. When we left our dog we asked to see if they could send us photos or videos and they told us yes, to talk to them on WhatsApp and they would send them to us, however they showed no interest in doing so and the only thing we learned from them was that he had adapted well and was eating. We were calm during our trip until we saw how he was when we went to pick him up. After 7 days we found the dog in bones and with wounds on his legs. I don't blame anyone for the fact that the dog doesn't eat or that he got those wounds trying to get out or however he got them, but it seems very unprofessional to me that seeing that the dog isn't eating and that he has wounds everywhere (because Yes, they have seen him, because he doesn't stop bleeding) tell us that he has adapted perfectly and not to worry about healing his wounds. I'm very sorry but I wouldn't be one of those who would recommend this place for my dog.
Super good experience. They took care of our little one with love, he is an older dog and suffers from epilepsy and also anxiety and they knew how to handle him more than well. They kept me informed all the time with photos and videos. You can see the love and responsibility with which they do their work. I recommend it 100%. g Many thanks to the von falkenau team.
Today I'm looking for my cat and my mother's dog, we are very happy, very friendly and well cared for, thank you for everything,🐾🐾🐾 …
Having had a few ‘doggie hotels’ the past 18 years. It’s always so hard to find one that can accommodate my beautiful pampered boys! But Pooches was without a doubt one of the best. A home away from home. All 3 were taken good care of and treated like family. What more can you ask for. Regular contact too and superb setting. I think they had a better holiday that I! Thank you Simon and the team 🙌
It is not easy to find a suitable foster home for your beloved four-legged friend. My dog is used to being with a family. He needs human affection and a clean environment. My dog would be out of place on a farm. At Simon's Pooches Hotel I am always impressed by how clean it is and that the dogs understand each other straight away, even though they are all strangers. This is probably due to Simon's personality. He is very welcoming and every dog is lovingly accepted, integrated and cared for. My dog feels extremely comfortable with Simon. I have already left him with Simon for 14 days. Everything went really well. Simon also keeps in constant contact with us owners. There are videos 3-4 times a day, individually tailored to each dog and owner. So I could always follow what my baby was doing and how he was doing. Simon's accommodation for dogs is highly recommended! Thank you, Simon! We would love to come back! 💕☀️🍀
The 5-star hotel your dog wants you to choose! Amazing place! Our two border terriers have stayed at Pooches a couple of times now and Simon takes exceptional care of them. The place itself is beautiful - think boutique hotel - and the dogs have free roam of the whole house and garden, with multiple comfy beds, chairs and sofas all over the place to lounge and sleep on. There’s even a seafront balcony where they can chill out and watch the waves and the world go by. Simon is a really lovely guy; very friendly and welcoming and with a great sense of humour. His love and passion for all the dogs in his care is clear from the get-go. He made us feel comfortable and confident in him and his hotel right from the very first messages we exchanged. He sends you plenty of pics and vids every day showing what a wonderful time your dog is having so you never once have to wonder what they’re up to and if they’re ok. I was hesitant at first to leave our two at a dog hotel/boarding place because they can be a bit cranky around other dogs but I needn’t have worried. Simon really knows and understands dogs and our two got on totally fine - they came back home absolutely knackered from all the fun they’d had and we really noticed an improvement in their behaviour and attitude around other dogs since their stay. I wish I’d booked them in sooner! If you want five star luxury accommodation where your pup will be treated like royalty (of course you do) don’t hesitate to check them into Pooches Hotel - your dog will thank you for it!
We couldn't have asked for better care for our dog Arnie whilst we were away for a few days. Simon adores all the dogs that stay with him at his wonderful place. His Casa has a huge outdoor space for dogs to sniff and play, a swimming pool and all the comfortable sofas a dog could wish for. Simon regularly sent videos and photos of Arnie and pals living a life of luxury at the pooch hotel. Simon is a genuinely caring person. Arnie would love to stay with him again! See you next time lots of love, Arnie, Rach & Jill xxx
Highly recommended! Simon is great and kept us informed all day about how our dog was doing. If you want a five star stay for your pet, this is the place!
Absolutely amazing. We and our 4 legged King-of-the-house whippet were welcomed into a warm, comfortable and cosseting home. Simon is the kind of person you meet and can’t help but feel immediate relaxed around and confident that your precious family member is in the right place. Simon’s love and passion for what he does shines through and I am so happy we found Pooches Hotel.
Absolutely amazing place, Mirabell our afghan and Kiara our landseer was fully enjoyed all the time there, and as I see all dogs was very happy there :) The owner also is a very nice and friendly person. All dogs had a really good and friendly relation with him. Also you can connect the stay with a "dog wellness " They have the best groomering service with the best groomer in the island, Dorotthy, she's very nice and professional. We are regular clients. We really advice this hotel.
Best dog hotel ever. Simon is that perfect person you would always like to care of your baby. My Katniss likes him a lot and she was always looking happy in all of videos and pictures he sent to me. 1000% recommended.
Simon kindly accepted my Cavalier with only one day notice and gave him the royal treatment 👑 I would absolutely use Pooches Hotel again. …
Our very introverted old Maltese stayed at pooches hotel for the day. We were all made to feel at ease, and its clear that the pooches are treated with love and respect, with the freedom to roam free. Simon has created a relaxed vibe. Totally recommend
