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.

Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
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!
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
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!
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
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!
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 able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
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!
Great shop for all dog supplies. Really good knowledge of the owners on pet foods, toys, etc. Also started a loyalty scheme for frequent buyers which looks great value.
Amazing shop! They LOVE dogs and you can tell :) got some really helpful advice about our pup who’s a very fussy eater and it’s worked!!
Quite simply put I love this shop and so do my dogs, lots of goodies and a huge choice of foods for our best friends and the staff are so lovely
Your shop is always very well stocked, prices are great plus stuff friendly and helpful. I have moved out from the area almost 3 years ago and still visiting the shop, when I am around. On many occasions I have asked friends and family to go there and buy goodies for my 3 dogs. Now I am also your online customer :-)
I ordered a gorgeous harness and lead, unfortunately the lead was out of stock but I was contacted straight the way to make arrangements for when it was back in stock a couple of days later. I then had my order posted out as promised on an am delivery to make sure I still had them for my weekend trip! Thanks so much guys, that’s choosing a small business for you 😊
My puppy goes to daycare at carefree Canines and he loves it. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and happy to help with anything. I had a great experience getting a new harness and lead for my pup, it was fitted in store and I got to try a little walk outside to get a feel for it before buying. I always recommend to everyone to use carefree.
Fantastic place! They are full of helpful advice and so patient with my endless questions. It's great being able to try different sizes of harness, coats etc too. The online shop means I can order the big bags of food to my door too!
Brilliant, great services, puppy loves puppy club and the range of products (food and other) is extensive and high quality
Such a great place for dog treats all natural food for them all..
Great choice of food and treats on offer. Staff always very helpful with advice. Great products in store.
As it's getting near holiday time I thought I would let you know about Boggs Dogs. Like most dog owners your holidays are always tinged with a bit of sadness, as usually you must leave your dog behind and put them into kennels, but the last time we went away we found Boggs Dogs. It is the most wonderful place to board your dog, be it for a short or long stay. You couldn't board your dog anywhere better, Melaney who runs Boggs Dogs is amazing, when we left our dog we knew she would be so well looked after, lots of space to run around in, and best of all, no dogs shut up in kennels. Melaney and her family treated our dog as if it were their own. I therefore give Boggs Dogs 5 stars as they give your dogs a 5 star stay with them, so look no further this is THE place to board your dog.
Spot has been coming here for years and he absolutely adores Mel and the team. The location is perfect and the facilities are top of class. The dogs get tons of (supervised) freedom and proper exercise, ie genuine walks, and they all seem so happy together. Really good value.
Emma has been walking our labradoodle Bramble for nearly a year now and we honestly couldn’t be happier with her service. Bramble is a very large dog with lots of energy and Emma is brilliant with her. Bramble waits by the door each week for her walk and is always so excited to see Emma - she loves her! We would 100% recommend Emma to anyone!
Our dog Maisie has been going on walks with Emma for over a year now and she/us couldn’t be more happier. When Maisie hears ‘Emma’ her tail just starts wagging. We can always count on her and she’s been so accommodating and helpful. Couldn’t recommend a better dog walker in East Lothian!
I can’t recommend adventure paws enough! Emma has been amazing from our first meeting she was so lovely and welcoming, my dog Millie absolutely loves her I think Emma might be Millie’s favourite person🤣 I know Millie is having an amazing time on the walks we love to see her happy😊 Thank you Emma! …
After a change of circumstances at home, we needed to find someone we could trust with our boy - and we came across Adventure Paws. From the very first minute of our meeting - I knew Emma was the person to walk our lovely Louie. Louie had his first walk with the gang in May, and he’s now more sociable, confident and he waits on her at the window. He loves her, and his time on his walks. We are so happy that he’s happy.
Due to a return to the office and looking for local dog walkers we came across Adventures Paws. From the first meeting with Emma, she totally put my mind at ease. My dog was really nervous as he’d suffered a bad back injury. Rocky is so much more confident when meeting other dogs and people, he’s totally changed for the better and feels like his old, happy self again! After his walks he is so chilled and clearly had the best time, which I also get to see on the Instagram videos. Emma and Adventure Paws has been the best thing for our dog in the longest time!
Emma has walked our boy Charlie for several years now and there is no one else we would trust with our pooch. She is professional and so friendly. She provides fantastic care and loves him as if he were her own dog. Charlie waits at the door for her every morning and you can see his excitement whenever she picks him up. I would highly recommend Emma to any dog owner who wants a reliable, trustworthy dog Walker who provides the highest quality of care.
My dog Holly loves her walks with Emma and gets really excited when she sees her van outside the house. After her walk Holly is tired but happy. Emma is kind and caring and totally dog centred. She is reliable and trustworthy. Keep up the good work Emma!
Emma is an absolute star! Friendly, easy going and absolutely great with our dogs who range in age from 8 weeks old to nearly 17 years. Our 6 years old Schnauser is out with Emma and he has an absolute ball, and comes home happy and worn out from his stimulating energetic walks. I can totally recommend Adventure Paws!!
Emma (Adventure paws) has been our dog walker for the last 2 years. She is so accommodating to our ever changing plans and our boy Ollie absolutely loves her to bits. We are so lucky to have found her when we were looking for a dog walker and can’t recommend her enough! She also takes awesome pictures on her walks!
can not recommend adventure paws enough, my two boys where anxious and timid, now thanks to love, patience and adventures, i have two very happy and confident boys. Emma is always on time, great to get along with, always going an extra mile to give the boys new adventures 😀 …
Brilliant doggy day care service. Christine always puts your dogs needs first and is caring and kind. Our wee dog loves going and has the best time on his walks and being with other furry friends. Highly recommend Scottish Dog Walkers. 5 star review!! 😍
I have no hesitation in recommending Christine. She has looked after my dog from puppy to the old senior dog he is now. Riley loves Christine and is always waiting at the door for her pick ups. She is reliable and trustworthy and I know Riley is in good, safe hands when he is with her.
Christine is a trustworthy and extremely reliable lady. Our dog absolutely adores her. Christine keeps me up to date on his progress, and sometimes sends photos of their walks. She keeps him calm, as he is still a puppy. She offers sound advice if I have puppy questions. I would highly recommend Christine.
Christine has walked our dogs for a few years now and very happy to recommend! Both dogs absolutely love her and get so excited when she arrives. She's dependable and will help out wherever she can for unexpected doggie care is needed. We'd be lost without her!
Lucy has walked and home boarded My dog Lucy for 11 years. She is reliable, honest and looks after my dog extremely well whilst she has her in her care. Very reasonable when needing extra walks and understanding when the dogs are unwell. Dogs health are Christine’s priority! Would not use anyone else!!
Christine has checked on and walked my boys since they were pups. They go absolutely wild when they see her, it's clear that they adore her. One of my boys was paralysed and had back surgery and a long recovery a few years ago, Christine was fabulous throughout the whole recovery, changing our walks to home visits when he couldn't walk, and then back to walks when he had recovered well - always keeping me updated on how he was getting on. I was (and still am) so lucky to have someone I could trust. Flexible, friendly and reliable, can highly recommend
Christine has looked after our dog Alfie and last dog Jenny. She has always looked after them brilliantly and they both adored her. She has gone the extra mile on numerous occasions including going and rescuing a terrified Jenny from our house during a thunderstorm and comforting her till we got home. Both dogs were rescued and being Jack Russells they are on the stubborn side, but Christine has taken the time to get to know them so well, kept them in line and won them over- no mean feat! Simply could not ask for a better service.
I moved into the same area as Christine almost 3 years ago and she has looked after my bulldog Luna when I am working since then. Christine is by far Luna’s favourite person in the world and you you can tell she is well cared for and Christine loves Luna back just as much! As well as an awesome dog walker I have also found a friend in Christine with our shared love of bulldogs. Highly recommend 💚
Christine has been walking and dog sitting Dougal since we moved to Musselburgh over a year ago. Dougal hit it off with Christine from day one and loves his walks. She goes absolutely above and beyond and has saved me at the last minute on a number of occasions due to last minute work changes. I was nervous leaving Dougal over night for the first time but needn't have been he is in the best of hands. Thank you Christine!
Christine is a superb dog walker and my dog is exceptionally well looked after by her. The comments in this review from Paul and Yvonne should be ignored, they are obviously a couple of sad people who spend their time hanging about watching hard working people go about their business. Interesting that they regularly provide reviews on the same businesses, I have a suspicion they are actually the same person. Christine does a wonderful job looking after her dogs, Paul and Yvonne are clearly a couple of very strange people. The other consistent 5 star reviews tell you all you need to know about Scottish Dog Walkers. :)
