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.

"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
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!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
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.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
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!
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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 :)
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!
I totally recommend this service. Gina helps me taking care of my cat every time I’m away travelling. The house is in order and my cat is happy. She’s great 🙃🙃🙃 …
Wonderful service, I highly recommend it, she has a lot of attention and care and above all responsibility, I will definitely hire her more often. Thanks!
I really liked. Attentive, well-disposed, you can see that she really enjoys dealing with dogs. I highly recommend it!!!
Very affectionate and responsible with our pet. I highly recommend it!
Vanessa and her family such a carrying and loving team. Vanessa herself is very profound in pets’ health, such a deep veterinary knowledge! My pets felt in love with her immediately, and I felt so well secured knowing my kids are staying under her care. The best petsitting experience so far - thank you dear Vanessa and your family for such a great care of my buns 🐶🐱🩷
Vanessa took great care of our two cats while we were away. She gave daily updates with lots of pictures/videos which was very reassuring. Our cats loved her! Looking forward to have her look after them during our next vacation 🙂 …
Vanessa is a dream! I reached out to her on her Instagram page, which led me to her whatsapp number. She responded quickly and gave me an overview of her animal loving services. There are so many wonderful things to say about her and her services, but I will keep it simple and helpful. 1. She is committed to animals and making sure your pets are loved and cared for. 2. She goes the extra kilometer to communicate with you throughout the process, and sends videos of your pets to show their progress and happiness. 3. She insists on meeting you and your animal family before to become acquainted and learn about your pets. 4. She is just a wonderful human, and who can't trust someone that loves animals and treats them like family members? 5. She speaks good English, even though she insists she does not :) and this was helpful for the two of us who are baby stepping our way through Portuguese. Thank you Vanessa. We can't wait to have you over again, and I am sure Hamza and Cleo will miss you. Muito Obrigada, Merci, Shukran, Thank you!!!
A small family business, specialists in dog and cat sitting services. Trustworthy and reliable.
I had to travel with my husband to the Azores and we left our 14-year-old kitten Lua in the care of Petnessa. I would like to thank you for the way you treated her. Lots of affection, love, company and responsibility, giving me news about the Moon every day through photos, videos and conversation, keeping me up to date with everything that was happening every day I came to the house. When she travels again, Vanessa will be Lua's company again, as her work is 5 Star. Thanks
I'm very happy to have found Petnessa services (I wish I had discovered them sooner). We went on vacation and left our two cats at home in the care of Vanessa. I am immensely grateful for all the kindness and consideration you showed us, and of course, for the news about the kittens, who even without us had an excellent week, with food, hygiene, attention and affection. They lacked nothing. Vanessa is an excellent professional and, according to our past experiences, she is the best in the area I am sure. I highly recommend it.
I just went on a 15-day trip and hired Vanessa to take care of my cats. I was very happy and super satisfied with her Catsitter service. In addition to being a super friendly and helpful person, she is also an excellent professional. My cats loved her. Being able to travel and have a trusted person like her is a peace of mind. I highly recommend it!
I needed to go on a trip and Vanessa took great care of my cat, Philip. She is a sweetheart and very attentive. I recommend!
Vanessa (and the rest of the family) is the only person I trust with my pet when I need to spend a few days away. In addition to the space being super pleasant and familiar, there is no place where they are more pampered than at Petnessa. Vanessa is, in addition to being a super animal lover, a veterinary assistant, and that's an extra reason for us to leave Mallu with her whenever we need her. We know you have love, pampering and medical care if needed. 5* is not enough to rate Petnessa! I highly recommend it. Thank you for everything, always!
I am very grateful to have met Vanessa. Now I can leave the house without worry. She is a great professional and you can tell how much the animals love her. I highly recommend it. <3
My four-legged son spent two seasons of one week each and came back very happy. The photos and his reaction when he met her again confirm how well he was treated. I recommend Ana to pet parents who want to rest assured when traveling. Thank you very much for your care ❤️
My dog stayed with Ana for 15 days while we were traveling for a trip. I have no words to describe how grateful we are for our stay. He was treated very well and already felt like part of the family. He will definitely spend another season with her, as he loved the vacation he took! 🥰🥰😘😘 …
Ana was very careful with my girl. With enormous responsibility, and a family environment. Mia felt at home and enjoyed a week, I highly recommend it!
Thank you Ana! For the love ❤️
