I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
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.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Cat and Paul sat for me in December and kept a watchful eye on my trusty sidekick Jake. All I can say is my gosh what a great job they did giving Jake a lot of TLC. He obviously missed them since he wandered around our home looking for them after their departure. My home was left in the exact same condition and they did a great job of communicating with me during my trip, letting me know exactly how Jake was getting along. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of my home and showing Jake a great time. I hope that during the coming year they will volunteer to do another sit for me. If you need any other specifics about how awesome a sitter Cat is please feel free to call or email me and I will be more than happy to give you more details. Hope you have an opportunity in the future to use them as house and pet sitters! Regards! Edward
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
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!
Very reliable would definitely recommend.
We leave our wee Barney and Rosie with Alison and Fraser and know they get totally spoiled, it's totally home from home and gives you great comfort when you go away. Lovely wee haven for our pampered pooches 😂😂😂❤️ …
I was anxious about leaving my pup with strangers as he is very timid around new people. But when I collected him he was so happy and playing with the resident dogs! The owners couldn’t be lovelier and I would highly recommend!
This was the first time we have left our 15 month old ALD with anyone other than family. We only left her a few days but when we went back to collect her, she had already made herself at home and was quite happy amongst the other doggy residents - I was so pleased and can’t recommend Alison & Fraser highly enough. Alison and Fraser even had time to sent me a pic of Roxy chilling on the top of the sofa 💕💕💕🐾🐾🐾. Thank you again Alison & Fraser for taking such good care of our girl. She’ll be looking forward to visiting you again in July . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Alison and Fraser are great with wee Dolly. She loves it there as it's more like another home for her. We feel she's sage, cared for and indeed loved there.
Our buddy been visiting for days n sleepovers for 2years now its a second home to him now our wee bonnie also visiting too, Alison and frazer treat the dogs as their own, brilliant place for boarding be it day or night also holidays wouldn't put my dogs anywhere else big safe secure property, I can go to work or on holiday knowing my babies are looked after.
Alison is fab, our wee Lhasa, he loves going on his holidays and Alison always caters to our wee old man’s needs! He can’t wait to come back later this year only this time he’s bringing a puppy along with him 🫶 …
Amazing my bundle of 3 had a great time , such a lovely couple and dogs are well looked after. Like a home from home already booked in for next visit. Thank you so much ❤️🐶🐶🐶 …
amazing dog boarding and lovely people. Always know our boys are well looked after when they are staying
Always great to see the dogs having a good time
So glad I joined safe paws. I had such an anxious little pup who couldn't stand to be away from me, now he can't wait to get into the centre in the mornings. Really changed his life! So grateful to all the staff and everything they have done to help him. Can't recommend them enough!
This place is a wonderful example of how to run a dog day care centre. Well organised and run with the safety of the dogs paramount. Shirley is supported by a wonderful team who all made my training a very worthwhile experience. The course is well structured which provides plenty of safe, supervised practice with the dogs. A great experience and comes highly recommended to anyone who wishes to become a day care provider.
Attended the 3 day training course for opening. Highly professional and wealth of knowledge. Practical training was to a high standard. Lovely to see such well trained staff, happy dogs and a well run daycare centre. I would recommend training course to anyone starting up their own daycare and to any owners looking for Dog daycare in Stirling. Kèep up the awesome work Shirley and staff team
I attended the dog day care trainers course here and absolutely loved it! Shirley is so knowledgable and down to earth, no question goes unanswered. The centre is fantastic with well trained staff who make sure no dog is ever left out, any dog is lucky to be a part of Safepaws!
Excellent my dog comes home thoroughly exhausted. I can now take him for walks and he will integrate with other dogs. He says he loves going. How they get him to nap at lunchtime!! Is a 5 star in my eyes. Thoroughly recommend to anyone who has a dog staff so patient and love their job. Long may they keep going.
I’ve used safe paws since my dog has been 12 weeks old. He loves his day each week and is now 7 years old and still acts like he is 12 weeks of age every time he goes through the door. Fantastic service and wonderful staff
My gorgeous boy lenny loves his days with safe paws. He has made lots of doggy friends. Thank you safepaws for also teaching him recall! Highly recommend
What a fantastic training course Shirley delivers :) had the most amazing experience learning with the team, All the dogs and pups seem so happy here and get 10/10 care from the handlers
Henris favourite place. Can't ask for more. Great facilities friendly staff and look out for your dog.
Monty, my miniature schnauzer has been going here since he was 12 weeks old, his tail wags when we approach the entrance, he is a very happy doggo and the staff are amazing
Very friendly and great with animals.x
Great for doggy
Hayley has been walking my dogs for 6 years now and she feels more like family to me. I trust her (and her family) completely with Roddy and Ghillie and they adore her. Whenever her car pulls into the street they know it is Hayley and are beyond excited to see her. They now stay with Hayley and her family overnight, twice per week, due to my work commitments and she sends me lovely photos showing how happy and relaxed they are. Hayley is very accommodating if I have to change at short notice, due to work commitments. I can't recommend Happy Pooch highly enough.
I have used Happy pooch for the last 6 years Hayley and Gav have been absolutely fantastic within my little dogs they treat him Like part of their family, they are there at short notice for me when things change and I need a dog sitter, I always leave Barney ( the dog ) with happy pooch when I go on holiday as I know he will be very well looked after. I can’t recommend happy pooch high enough
I was lucky to have Haley recommended to me by a friend approximately 6 years ago . I cannot speak highly enough of Haley’s kindness and absolute dedication to the dogs in her care . The whole family care so much about the animals . I am grateful to them all as it was a difficult time in my life . I am so pleased to say I consider them wonderful friends . And recommend Haley as safe and secure hands for your precious pet .
Excellent dog walker, very reliable and trustworthy. Our dog loves going out with Hayley,. Also used home boarding which was just as good. Couldn't recommend enough.
What an outstanding service. You get value for money and made feel really welcome. This is my second time using Happy Pooch and will certainly not be my last. Both my dogs love going there and I am put at ease by the respect and deication the team show. Thank you guys you are highly recommended
Friendly my girl loves staying with Haley, great peace of mind when go on holiday she is being well looked after.
Very reliable dog boarding and dog walking service. I had to use them for my dog as I had to travel on emergency. Came back to a very happy and well walked dog!
Great family run business. Lovely welcoming home with lots of space for the dogs. Would 100% recommend
thanks
Best dog minder ever
Would recommend 5 star service. Needed transport to take dog for vet check up. Dropped off and waited will be using them for all future appointments etc. Hope they do well.
Gail is a true cat whisperer! She made friends immediately with my house cat during her initial visit, and she sent photos of them playing every day, which was super reassuring. Arrived home to a very happy cat - fabulous option for cats who like their home comforts. Will definitely use the Kitty Sitter again next time we’re away!
Can’t recommend Kitty Sitter Gail enough. I booked at very short notice for a week over Easter and she proved to be very reliable and caring for our two very individual cats. One cat requires medicine twice a day so we needed her for 2 visits and that was not a problem for her. The other is very shy and she even managed to persuade him to say hello now and then. I loved the daily photos and updates on the cats. I normally dread coming home to some sort of carnage from the cats but there was nothing to have worried about. Will definitely be using Kitty Sitter again. Thank you Gail
Gail is a wonderful cat sitter and we are so glad to have found her. She can deftly handle both human and feline alike. She established a bond with our cat right away and was very good at explaining to us the business ins & outs. Although our kitty is on the friendly side, I have never seen him so relaxed after coming back from a trip. Throughout our time away Gail was brilliant about keeping in touch. When our trip was delayed one day due to bad weather she very generously offered to take care of cat longer. Having someone so kind and capable taking care of our pet is an incredible resource and we will remain customers for as long as we live in the area.
Gail is an experienced and professional cat sitter. She was communicative and made sure we were updated, and she even called in help when she was going to miss one evening's visit. I will definitely use her services again in the future!
Gail completely understands cats, their quirks and how they should be treated - and how they may treat her too! 😂 Gail has been absolutely amazing with our pair and watched our 2 cats for an extended period as we weren't around for a few weeks: I'm pretty sure they wonder where she is! Rates are very fair from the Kitty Sitter, I'd recommend Gail to anyone for cat sitting, she's very friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. We've been delighted with this service and fully intend to keep engaging with The Kitty Sitter - as long as she'll have us!
Gail has been amazing in looking after our cat. You can tell that she is a cat lover and will do everything required to make your cat feel comfortable whilst you are away. It has been great to find someone who is reliable and trustworthy. Will definitely be using Gail’s services in the future!
Gail is absolutely wonderful with cats. I was very very nervous about leaving my three indoor cats, I'd never left them before and was thinking about any bad situation that could happen. Gail kept me up to date with everything was going on and sent me evening updates with pictures (because she knew I needed the reassurance.) One of my cats is very nervous and I knew that she might not necessarily eat. Gail worked through this until she gained my cats trust and by the end of the week they were friends. She also cleaned the litter trays, filled the water bowls, played with and gave the cats cuddles. Take it from someone who is neurotic to the extreme about her fur babies, Gail is the best person to leave with your cats and I will 100% ask her to care for them again.
We are very glad we found Gail! She is very friendly and professional and took good care of our cat while we were gone. She was sending us updates daily which helped put our mind at ease. We would definitely recommend her.
Gail is an absolute gem. She took fabulous care of our two girls and kept a watchful eye on the house whilst we were away for a week. Would definitely use again without hesitation. Words can’t do her justice!
Would highly recommend Gail's service. Really friendly and helpful, took great care of our cats and gave us regular updates which was reassuring during our trip away. Will definitely be using her from now on.
