Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
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.
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.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
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!
Auf Wiedersehen Pets are exactly what you need to take care of your pets. They are friendly, reliable, reasonably priced and above all, care about every animal they look after. I have used them for the past 5 years since the birth of my daughter, and the arrival of our Springer Spaniel roughly at the same time, and I cannot recommend them highly enough!!
Friendly and caring pet service, home visits or boarding. Will definitely use again :)
So happy with the kindness and care the cats receive from Henry. Updates on every visit including photos and videos. Goes the extra mile and I am very happy to recommend this business.
We have been using Henry to look after our cats and have been very reassured and pleased with the care provided. Henry keeps us updated & provides regular pics. I would highly recommend anyone looking for professional & reliable care for your pets.
Henry is a lovely combination of kindness and understanding with efficiency and reliability. Just what you want when someone is caring for your much loved pet. We so appreciated the updates and photos of our cat he sent us every day we were away. The initial set up, information and briefing were all clear, and Henry’s experience shone through. We will definitely use him again.
Laura was absolutely brilliant at looking after our fur babies when we went away. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and that she saw them both at each visit. I had loads of updates and photos which was lovely and returned to happy cats! Thank you so much Laura and Henry, it is lovely to leave for holiday knowing your pets will be well looked after while you are away. X
Utterly brilliant service. Right from the initial meeting, it was so clear that so much genuine love with professionalism goes into this business. For the first time ever, our boys were so happy, active and energised when we came home. The fact photos were sent when we were away just showed us how happy they were, and made us miss them lots, but reassured us that they were ok. Our boys are very picky and can be shy but they were acting as if we were home and handling them - a clear indication of how good and experienced Henry and Laura are. Cannot recommend enough.
I was really impressed with the professionalism and communication of the Home and Pet Visit Company. Henry took great care of my rat and two guinea pigs while we were away and I felt really confident that they were being well cared for. Plus he sent me great, detailed updates to let me know everything was okay with my babies. I would definitely recommend Henry to anyone looking for some knowledgeable and experienced holiday care for small pets
I cannot recommend Henry highly enough. He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are well cared for whenever he comes. His attention to detail, proper love, care, patience and clear passion for animals makes him just brilliant at the job. Communication is always immediate, he sends us a message after every visit, often with photos - which has been such an important thing for us, as one of our cats isn't very well and incredibly picky with her food! He is incredibly experienced at giving medicine, both pills and liquid and always spends proper time with the cats, giving them cuddles and love. He also takes very good care of the house and often closes curtains, turns on lights for us if we’re not there. I would give more stars if I could!
Henry has been fantastic looking after our cat and guinea pigs, for a week, whilst we were away. His daily updates and pictures were so reassuring and he did such a thorough job, for instance calling and checking on the whereabouts of our cat and playing with her etc. I really felt we were in safe and professional hands. Our cat really seemed to take to him which was great. Thanks Henry!
Henry has been looking after our cat over the Christmas period and has been excellent - very reliable and trustworthy! He updated us frequently, which gave us peace of mind. Will 100% be using The Home & Pet Visit Company for future cat sitting!
I highly recommend Henry - the dog whisperer! He has taken care of our big labrador several times at short notice. I was a bit anxious initially as he is sometimes unsure of people he doesn't know and wasn't used to people coming into his space. Henry made time to meet him beforehand and he warmed to him immediately, like I've never seen him do with anyone before! It was so reassuring to see and he's always very happy to see Henry! He is a genuine animal lover and a total natural with dogs. He is professional, personable, flexible, and it is so lovely to be able to relax whilst away, knowing that our dog is in excellent hands. Thank you Henry!
I can't recommend this lady Michaela enough. So efficient and my dogs loved her. Sent beautiful photos of my dogs whilst sitting with them, followed all my instructions for their care.
Michaela looked after our 3 cats whilst we were away and we are so incredibly grateful to her for the care and love she showed them. She updated us with photos which gave us huge peace of mind knowing that they were happy. She also took care to make sure their litter trays were clean which was great for them but also for us on our return! We’ve already booked more dates. Thanks Michaela 😊
Our labrador retriever has stayed twice with Indigo and she loves it. She was soooo excited and pleased to see them the 2nd time we dropped her off for boarding. A great tell tale sign that she really enjoys staying with them! Thoroughly recommend!
I've been using Indigo Pet Services for several years for my rescue dog, Penny. This is a family-run company and everyone is wonderful - they are so caring for our dog and they are the friendliest of people! Penny goes to day-care twice a week and is picked up from our house in Witley - it's the most excited she gets when the van arrives and it's great to see the bond she has developed with everyone at Indigo, and how much she enjoys the experience. What's more, in these times of Covid they are going above and beyond in making sure everything is hygienic and sanitised, and I have 100% confidence in them. Fabulous service and we'd be lost without them! thank you!
Looks after Stella when we take her for her holidays. She is always pleased to go there and mix with the other dogs. Is great for us when away knowing she's in safe hands with plenty of safe space for play and exercise
Unfailingly kind to me and my dog. He gets to play with other like minded dogs and always leaves me without a backward glance. Indigo is always my first choice when we have to leave the dog. I get his food from there too.
Looks after my dog Jasper amazingly , he is always so excited to get there and is shattered afterwards. Wonderful calm and loving environment.
Big open field full of agility equipment. Lots of excited woman running their dogs.
Nice and friendly atmosphere, and my dog seemed happy.
Amazing! We've been using Dirty Paws for years with our boy Archie and couldn't rate Georgia and her team highly enough.
I brought both of my cats to Mrs Coles and they stayed there for over two months last year from late July to early October. Both were clean, well fed and loved. I do strongly recommend this cattery.
My three working cocker spaniels had a wonderful time staying. Very easy to book, very accomadating and freindly. Will be booking again for sure!
We left our two rag-dolls at Upper Ridgeway for two weeks initially, which was then extended to three weeks. Upper Ridgeway was recommended to me by a colleague, and even though we are quite a distance away in Kent, we chose to come here, and we are really pleased we did. Our cats came back completely happy, and it definitely looked as if they had been well cared for. Arguably, they were better groomed and brushed when we collected than when we left them :-) When speaking to the owner you really do get the feeling she and her staff care about the cats - it definitely doesn't feel like "just a business". If and when we are next on holiday, we will most likely take the cats here again, even though the cattery is 1.5h away by car.
My cat Shackleton used to really struggle in kennels, we started bringing him to Upper Ridgeway last year and have just been delighted with the service received. Shackleton always comes back with his coat looking shiny, he’s happy and settled. He’s clearly been well loved and fussed. I highly recommend this lovely, caring kennels/cattery
I took my cat to Upper Ridgeway cattery recently and ended up having to leave her there for around 1 month. She was so well looked after and loved, I was so happy. The best cattery I've found - such friendly staff who really love the animals. My cat was in great condition when I picked her up and although she often has a sensitive stomach, she was perfectly fine for the entirety of her stay here which goes to show how happy she was. I can't recommend enough!
My ginger boys (Jasper & Carrot) and (Harvey & Nix) love it at the Upper Ridgeway Farm Cattery. The ladies are truly magnificent. They tell you stories about your boys, they cuddle them and make it a home from home. The boys love their runs...their heated maisonette and come back in perfect condition. Mind you it is now getting far too popular and busy...so don't take their space over the summer holidays.
We've used Upper Ridgeway twice this year. Lovely people and peaceful, rural location. Our cats always return well groomed and chilled.
The most wonderful kennels you will ever find; certainly nothing like it anywhere near London. Owner Pat Coles a delightful character and proper dog lover (reminds me of Prince Philip; marvellous sense of humour). His loyal staff are similarly considerate . Nothing ever a problem. You can go away and be rest assured your dog will have a lovely time. Why is it so different from normal kennels (dog prison)? Space. Your dog will be let out to play with other dogs of a similar size and nature five times a day. Of course there is someone watching them all the time. Also, if you like, you can ask for your dog to share her/ his pen with another dog. This is perhaps the best thing for me as i have a Setter (English) who just wants company. She can't wait to get out of the car every time we arrive. No fuss at all if your dog is not neutered or spayed. They will take care of everything. Worth the long journey from London. It's so beautiful in the Surrey Hills
It was our first time leaving our kittens with anyone but ourselves and we were a bit nervous, but Upper Ridgeway made us feel at ease. When we returned after a week’s holiday, our kittens seemed as happy (and naughty) as usual!
Excellent care and friendly staff, really felt that our cat was well looked after.
Nikki is absolutely lovely and so great with our dog! She very kindly brought our dog along to our wedding in September and was brilliant in keeping him calm in such a high-energy environment! We were able to continue enjoying the day, knowing that our precious boy was in Nikki's capable hands. Thanks so much Nikki!
I chose Nikki as she offered £5 drop in pet visits which is perfect for people who have timid cats that won't play with just anyone. she's very friendly and did exactly what was needed and was available on the phone while I was away. Great knowing they are being looked after and put my mind at ease. she even hoovered up around the litter trays before I got back. I would definitely recommend nikki and will use her again when I go away.
Very friendly, my cats were well looked after, will definitely use again.
Percy loves his 'holidays' to the kennels! Staff are friendly and we don't have to waste any stress when away thinking about if the dog is okay!
Probably the best kennels we've taken our dogs to - they listened to every small detail we discussed about our two fussy dachshunds, and genuinely cared about giving our dogs the best experience while staying with them. The dogs came back the happiest (and cleanest) in many years of kennel visits - all of the staff seemed professional and invested in the dogs in their care. Very much recommended, we'll be back for sure.
Our family spaniels were happy during their 9 day stay over Easter. Thank you!
I always take my cat here. I like that the cattery pens have an outside space. Staff are friendly and always helpful.
Very friendly environment for dogs who are well cared for whilst staying at the kennels.
Lovely staff. Very clean. Large grass exercise area.
They really know how to look after your cat or dog
Spacious kennels in a lovely rural setting.
Great kennels lovely staff highly recommended
Jane has been fantastic looking after my two cats. She is reliable and has been very patient will my timid girl. Jane is very flexible and has helped us out at short notice due to a family bereavement. Nothing is too much trouble and she is always available when needed. I highly recommend Jane.
We have a gorgeous but very large DDB puppy and a 4 year old Frug we spent ages trying to find dog walkers who could accommodate both of them. We are so so lucky to have found Jane, Meg and Andrew from Welovepets Guildford. Not only do our dogs love them they are reliable, great communication and take our puppy for the best walks, they both listen to what you need and want and absolutely accommodate this. Our Frug is very difficult to walk so we do that but they give him so many cuddles, play and wee stops. We couldn’t be more grateful too them all.
Jane and her team have been fantastic from day 1 and throughout, managing the changing needs of my dogs and everything from regular walks, pop-ins, late feedings, overnights/housesitting - really anything you and your pup might need. Initial sign-up process was extremely quick and efficient, they started straight away and they have been reliable, efficient and flexible throughout. Forgotten to book in? Needed to book extra bits last-minute? Need to cancel or add in extra walks? It's never a problem. I get photos as standard after every walk, it's cost effective and reliable and has given me such peace of mind. Jane and the team have been absolutely fantastic for me and my two dogs. Honestly cannot recommend highly enough. Would give six stars if I could!!!! Eleven out of ten! I know I have said it before but thank you so much again Jane for EVERYTHING what a lifesaver. I don't know what the boys and I would do without you. Gill & Gus & George xx
Jane from We Love Pets Guildford supplied a fantastic twice daily service to our cat whilst we were on holiday. She also watered the plants, collected the mail and took the bins down. It was a very reassuring feeling knowing she was there and attending to our cat's needs and our property - we would definitely use her again!
We have been using Jane at We Love Pets Guildford since our puppy was 16 weeks. She has been great, going above and beyond to make sure our little boy (who was quite nervous initially of new people) was comfortable and happy. Alvin absolutely adores Jane and is so excited to see her every week.
Well what to say, We Love Pets Guildford were a life saver for me when we were let down with a dog sitter for an event we were attending. Jane was quick to respond and organise a lovely lady, Meg, to look after our Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy for the day. For me, what stood out the most, was the time Jane took in ensuring all parties were happy. Jane & Meg came round a few days before to meet our dog and get to know each other. It is clear that Jane is extremely passionate about what she does, and her love of animals, and I felt completely confident in leaving our puppy for the day (bearing in mind this was the first time he had been left without us). I had never used We Love Pets before but I will not hesitate in using them again. The service was impeccable and our puppy was so well looked after, Meg made sure he was walked and had lots of cuddles throughout the day. I’m so glad to have finally found a reliable dog sitting service!
Jane has been a real find, allowing us to be away knowing that our cat Herbert is well cared for. She is always willing to help out in other ways e.g. sorting mail and watering plants. And what’s more Herbert seems to like her more than he likes us! A very reliable and friendly service.
Fantastic and personal service... Jane walked our Lhasa Apso (Laurie) prior to us moving house this year, and was amazing with her. They really bonded, and you could see the happiness in Laurie when Jane arrived to pick her up. Since moving home, we have used Meg as a dog sitter, and Laurie was instantly at home with her. The pictures and videos that they both sent of Laurie out on walks or relaxing at home are a wonderful touch.
Jane has been cat sitting for us for around a year and we throughly recommend her. She has made every attempt to befriend our extremely timid elderly rescue Mainecoon cat and keeps us upto date by video and photos whilst we are away. Jane always confirms prior to our travels and is flexible, recently additionally taking on feeding our pond fish. We find her reliable, affordable and friendly and will continue to use her services.
Excellent experience with 'We Love Pets' in Guildford, I would highly recommend. Jane was very helpful.
I've used Burntwood Kennels for many years now and can highly recommend them. Infact, I had a family emergency this morning and needed help for my dog Ted. They bent over backwards to assist, and I can't thank them enough.
My dogs have been day boarding here for the last 3 years - they absolutely love it and are well cared for, they are walked on leads at least twice a day so are not in kennels all day - plenty of fuss from the staff which the dogs absolutely love and are so pleased to see them all. They have such a lovely time during the day - when I pick them up they are tired out and sleep all evening. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
The best kennels on the planet, the only place I'll take my pup,the staff are amazing and look after the animals so well, I cannot stress enough how much we love this place, thank you for caring for my fur baby the way I would when I can't be there.
Bart has been there 3 times now, he's happy to go in, the staff are friendly and he's happy when I collect. I definitely recommend Burntwood.
Our dog boarded at Burntwood Kennels for six weeks. She was so well looked after that it made our separation from her much easier. We are very grateful to Burntwood for their excellent care.
My Archie loves going to Burntwood, si excited on arrival. Probably prefer to stay permanently lol.
Very caring, helpful kennels. Our dog has been visiting since he was a pup and always enjoys arriving and meeting the staff again. We generally take up the offer of two walks per day and can see that our dog is very happy there. Highly recommended.
Always looking after my dog whilst im away on business. Phoebe is always in safe hands and loves her stays at Burntwood Kennels
Always exceed my expectations Amazing and caring people who make time for my crazy Shepherds
This is the best place to leave your car and not to have any worries. My little girl has been there many times now. I couldn't recommend it higher. A wonderful place
