Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
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!
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!
Used for the first time, I was so worried about my cat, that I was even communicating from abroad to check, and they were so reassuring & he was fine, got lots of attention, and became very vocal with them, which if he was anxious he would just retreat into a quiet corner, such a relief to know he was happy & looked after. I can now go away and know he's he's not miserable & sad.
What an amazing place this is with excellent friendly staff. Our elderly dog loves staying here and is always so pleased when he knows where he is. They have recently helped us out at short notice. Can't recommend them enough to anyone.
This is by far the best Kennel we have used for our 4 k9 family members. The staff are brilliant and really do care. The place is very well kept and you get a great vibe from it.
Our first visit with a view to using the kennels for our 12 month old puppy. Google maps is misleading about where it drops its location PIN, so be warned. But look for the kennel's own signs, and you'll be fine, though the undergrowth partly obscures them and needs cutting down. We were made welcome by staff and our puppy obviously felt right at home. She stayed for a couple of hours, and was reluctant to leave! We will be back!
Caring staff. All of our dogs have been happy to go there. They've been able to help in medical emergencies, too - looking after the dogs at short notice when family members have been hospitalised in a hurry.
Very friendly and professional, my dog loves all the staff. Louise has also kindly given sound advice when asked. I feel reassured that my dog will be well looked after when she is there.
Made a fab job of grooming our girl. Will definitely be returning. 😊 …
Dog came back very well groomed and very happy.
We have always been very happy with the service provided by the Kennels. Our Westie can't get in there quick enough when we arrive and has always been well and lively when we collect him. Believe me, if he was not fed adequately I would know; he would let me know in no uncertain terms being a devoted worshiper of his food. Also, on our first visit we were shown around the kennels and the set-up and routine were well explained.
My dog (aged 9) has been going since she was a pup. We have moved away from the area, but she remembers the kennels and enjoyed her stay
If you're in search of a puppy trainer who truly cares about your furry companion's well-being, look no further than Rhona from Who Let the Dogs Out!!!. I had an excellent experience working with Rhona and can confidently say that she is an exceptional trainer who goes above and beyond to ensure that your puppy receives the best possible care. From the very beginning, Rhona was incredibly warm, friendly, and easy to work with. She took the time to understand my puppy's unique personality, habits, and needs and tailored her training program accordingly. What impressed me the most about Rhona was her patience and kindness towards my puppy (and to me as a new pet owner to be honest). Rhona's training methods are highly effective, and I was amazed at how quickly my puppy responds to her training methods. She uses positive reinforcement techniques that are both and effective, and my puppy responds well to her style of teaching. I appreciated how Rhona emphasised the importance of consistency and repetition, and she provided me with practical tips and advice to help reinforce the training at home. Overall, I cannot recommend Rhona from Who Let the Dogs Out!!! highly enough. She is a fantastic puppy trainer who truly cares about the well-being of your furry friend. If you're in search of a trainer who is patient, kind, and effective, Rhona is the perfect choice. Her training programme is top-notch, and you will see a noticeable improvement in your puppy's behaviour after just a few sessions. I am so grateful for Rhona's help and expertise, and I know that my puppy and I will continue to benefit from her training sessions for years to come.
Our dog Clyde has been very well looked after by Rhona. He started in the beginning with puppy visits, Rhona was so attentive to him and he had a great time playing in the garden. He now does hour long walks and he is so happy and excited to see Rhona each day. Rhona communicates with us regularly to update us on how he's doing. Fantastic Service 🐕🦺
Over the last few months, when ill-health has restricted our dog-walking activities, Rhona has proved to be a life-saver. She has formed a strong bond with Sullie, our hyper-active Springer and they both seem to really enjoy their outings.
Rhona is an amazing Dog Walker. Our dogs love going with her each day and she’s always on time. Very flexible if required. 100 % recommend.
We have used Rhona for almost 1 year now and she has been great! We know our dog has a great time with Rhona because she never wants to come home with us when we pick her up. Rhona will also send updates throughout the day to let us know how she is getting on. 5 stars 😊😊 …
Our pup loves loves loves going to Rhona’s! She is so excited every time we drive to Rhona’s! Rhona is super caring and so so good with our pup! We trust her completely! Highly recommend!
Our puppy Rosie has come on leaps and bounds in just six training sessions with Rhona. Her experience and expertise are a joy to behold and Rosie just loved her time with her. Can't recommend highly enough.
Poppy loves her time with Rhona, is very excited when she arrives for walks, and is perfectly cared for. Highly recommended.
Always a Fantastic service from Rhona, our boy just loves his walks with her and is very well looked after
Excellent service and not expensive - used many times and would recommend highly.
Excellent transport and assistance provided by Michael for my first ever dog! He drove from Sheffield to Canterbury, stopping off at two service stations so my dog could exercise and make some mess! The car used was very smart and comfortable.
I have had the most amazing trip to pick my puppy stray up from Zante and drive all the way back to Yorkshire. My driver/courier, Norman was fantastic. The whole process went smoothly, safely and was a trip of a lifetime. They organised every last detail to ensure the dog and myself were comfortable and well looked after. Highly recommend this fantastic company. Expensive but SO well worth it. Thank you.
I travelled with my dog from Sweden to Wales. They were very professional and organised and even remembered our names when we would call. No issues with booking etc. Were given plenty of information and contacted by the driver days before which was reassuring. He arrived in a branded van and clothes which reassured me (I am a young woman) and was very professional throughout. The van was clean and well equipped for transporting my dog and we took regular breaks around every 4 hours. Well worth the money and would definitely use c four paws again. Thanks/Diolch!
We had Milo collect from London on Sunday with two cages and a carry cage and lots of toys. Milo was perfectly happy and items were in good order. Collected on time and delivered on time. Excellent service and driver was very nice. Highly recommended for animal transport. Will definitely use again if the need arises. Good job thank you
Calagran Four Paws and my driver Will were absolutely amazing at handling our cross country transport for a long distance move. Having a rather large Staffy x Old Tyme, who had sadly had to be exempted due to her size, I was even terrified to take her on the road in anything other than proper transport. And with it being such a long way I wanted a safe long distance option also for all round safety and comfort. Our needs were catered for with the upmost care and Will was absolutely amazing with my nervousness and with my lovely girls nervy nature. I couldn't have been happier and I plan to travel with them again. I can highly recommend them.
I highly recommend this company. I just endured an incredibly stressful and long importation process into Europe and finally into the UK with my 3 med/large breed dogs. CFourPaws went above and beyond to help me logistically with things they really didn't have to and was outside of their services. Provided much needed emotional support and were empathetic to my unforeseen financial costs. Really without people like Keith and Greig, I may have crumbled under the stress of it all. BIg animal lovers, BIG hearts and can't fault them. Thanks CFourPaws x
I have been bringing my dogs here for a few years now. They are always happy to come back and I love that the kennels share photos with you of your pets. The drop-off was very useful
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. In a medical emergency you were the first kennels we found after literally 100's of phone calls with spare capacity to take Casper while his mum had an emergency operation to remove a brain tumour. The 10x photo's you sent us showing him happy & thoroughly enjoying a run in the secure field were a huge relief to his dad & a massive boost to his mum's immediate recovery.
We recently used C Four Paws to transport our dog Adi from Glasgow to Heathrow for her trip home to Canada. David was a very kind and professional driver and got us to the Kennel at Heathrow on time in spite of some unavoidable traffic delays along the way. We’re back home with Adeline safe and sound and are very grateful for having used the services of your company and David for the first leg of our trip.
An absolute lifesaver when it came to transporting me and my cats from Dublin to Somerset. There was fantastic communication the entire time during the booking process and our driver Clive was incredible! They made what was a very stressful move for me and my cats, a very easy time and I cannot thank Clive and the whole team enough.
Lucy was fantastic with my two old cats, and I cannot recommend her enough. She was purrfect, and loved the daily pics and updates.
Lucy was great with my 2 cats spent time playing with them feeding and littering. She took all the stress out of leaving them and nothing was a problem. Highly recommend Lucy and cats love her
Lucy looked after our cat and she was so loving and caring and I know he enjoyed his time with her. I would strongly recommend this service.
Lucy is fantastic with my cats and nothing is ever too much trouble 💕 …
So reassuring to know my cats are being cared for by the lovely Lucy whilst I am not home.
Reliable , very caring and would highly recommend
We have had Linda as our dog walker since we got our wee Finn. Finn loves his walks with Linda she has been flexible to help us out when she can. As first time dog owners Linda's advice and support has been priceless. Would highly recommended Palmers Pooches x
I've used Linda Palmer once to walk my 3 dogs and just never got round to leaving her a review. I was very happy with the service she provided me, especially given that it was all very last minute, she went out her way and worked late to accommodate my 3 spaniels who are no easy walk. I happily award this lady and her company 5⭐ I am very disappointed, shocked in fact to see that someone has chosen to leave a malicious 1* review of Palmers Pooches Dog Walker. The reviewer/owner in question is a previous customer of my own dog walking business. I walked her dog for a short period in summer 2020. This owners' requirements for her dog are that it must be walked at lunchtime, be the only dog there, & for the walk to last no more than 10 minutes 1 day per week. This takes a fair amount of organisation as it is right between a.m. & p.m. group walks so it quickly became unsustainable for me & I ended my contract with this owner Before doing so, I approached Linda of Palmers Pooches, if she had space to take this dog on. Linda was happy to do so. This meant, despite me leaving, there would be no interruption to the service being provided to the dog. When I told this owner I would no longer be taking her dog out, I thanked her, gave my reasons for ending our contract & the recommendation to Palmers Pooches. Despite being happy with my recommendation and going forward with Palmers Pooches, I was repeatedly called by the dogs owner over the next several days & questioned as to why I had stopped &/or could no longer carry on with the dog. Was it something she had said/done? Was it something her dog had done? Did I not like her dog? I found this quite bizarre and unsettling as I had already told her the reasons and stopped answering my phone when she called. Linda from Palmers Pooches took over the dogs walks and everyone was happy for the next 2 years. Then yesterday, Linda Palmer asked if her friend could take over with the dog for a short time, due to time constraints with regard to having other dogs to walk. The owner became extremely angry and let loose with a barrage of vindictive phone calls and sms messages (which i have seen) Completely unnecessary and beyond rude behavior from a dog owner who has acted out like a petulant, spoiled child and now left an awful review of the services she'd been happy with for the previous 2 years+ A review which is peppered with personal attacks, lies and absolute here say. A review which has now been removed, doubtless because of the defamatory nature and lies therein. However, it has been replaced with another 1* dirge. Shame on you Mrs! All local dog walkers take note and beware. Edited to add content today @ 18:30
Maisie loves going out with Linda & her doggy friends , we have been with Linda for over 2 years now , Linda is always on time , helps me when ever she can if i have unexpected work commitments Maisie is out for more than her hour , Maisie & I highly recommend Linda & wouldn't be without her now . ❤️
Palmers Pooches is the highlight to our boy Ricci’s week. He loves being out with Linda and they are out for a decent time. Always updated with pics of the walks. Would recommend!
Linda has put in so much hard work and a lot of research into her business! So trust worthy and very reliable and is great with my wee dog! She always helps out the most she can, I know she will take good care of him, Murphy just loves her ❤️🐶 …
Linda is amazing with our little one, Edith is always so excited to see her then never wants to come in when she gets home, Reasonably priced, great with her pooches, reliable and just lovely
Great dog walker, Linda has been talking Lola out since she was a pup and she loves her walks and meeting all the other dogs.. Very professional service and great getting kept up to date with the pictures of her walks.
Our wee Ginny absolutely loves her walks and is treated like one of Linda’s own! Highly recommend!
Lovely girl, taking your lovely dogs, on lovely adventures. A really hard working star
