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.

Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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!
Have boarded my mastiff/dane at Highland pet care solutions on several occasions and my dog and myself have benefited from training sessions, given can't recommend them enough.
Our favorite place for our spoiled dogs to stay!
We have been using this kennel for the last 8 years and highly recommend them . Our dogs and cat have always been very happy there and well looked after. A great new addition is the outdoor dog run with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. In fact they were so busy playing they didn't notice we had arrived to pick them up. Love the fact they post images of the dogs having fun on their Facebook page so you can check on your furry friends whilst you are away. Like most kennels they have drop off and pick up times which you are told in advance which avoids constant disturbance to the dogs and the working/cleaning regimes of the kennels. It's easy to work around and they have always been flexible with us with issues like plane delays etc all you need to do is keep them informed. Richard is an experienced and knowledgeable dog trainer and we have always been happy to leave our animals in his and the other staff care
Dee and Gary Tindle. Fabulous family run kennels with all the personal touches we could wish for our beautiful cocker spaniel cooper. Very professional and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you for taking such good care of Cooper for us. Dee and Gary.
Highly recommended. Requested to book at short notice due to a hospital admission & very promptly received a positive response from Richard. The dog accommodation is excellent - don't expect sofas - it is a dog kennel after all. Everywhere is clean, airy and spacious & we are able to take our dog's own bedding & creature comforts. The setting is great with lots of outside space and the new addition of the secure fenced exercise paddock is wonderful. Our GSP squealed with delight when we arrived as she knew where she was and judging by the Facebook video was very happy whilst there. She has clearly been very well looked after by a professional and friendly team and we have every confidence with no worries whilst she is at Banscol.
I have shared good feedback before and am actually quoted saying how good the kennels are. I would say use them, however if you need flexibility on collection or delivery times then forget them. Although their website states they offer drop off and collection times outside their hours, that is not my experience. We are not close to the kennels and got home early from holiday. Phoned to say we would pick up on the Saturday evening but they would not accommodate. After driving nearly 800 miles to get home we had another 140 mile round trip to do the next day to pick up out dog who wasn't allowed to come home with us the day before. I was fully understanding though, these things happen. Last week I noticed the statement on their website about flexible pick up and drop off times so I booked for 2 nights. When I booked I said I would confirm times (we live a good distance from the kennels and were travelling quite a distance as well). The day before we left I contacted them to say we would be there about 1pm if that was ok. I was told I could only drop off between 9.30 and 10.30 or 3.30 to 5.30. I pointed out their statement on their website to no avail. Not good customer care and not a good policy to have misleading information on a website. For that reason I am afraid I now would not recommend.
So glad we found Richard and Sarah last year and we will not be going anywhere else. The care that our two puppies have received is second to none. Whether boarding them or training them, we have nothing but praise.
Can’t recommend for cats. Cats are not separated from dogs; they are in the same building, and cats are exposed to constant barking. Cat accommodation dark and inhospitable.I collected my cat early and it was made clear that this was unwelcome when I arrived. It looked as if the litter tray hadn’t been emptied for a week.
Highly recommended. Lovely clean Kennels with lots of space. Our animals were very well cared for making leaving them so much easier.Thank you Sarah and Richard for your dedication.
Richard and Sarah are an amazing team. They were so good at looking after our dogs. Would highly recommend them. Five star facility and Will definetly be using them again
Great place, highly recommend them. They are great with my 2 dogs who are not good with other dogs. Won't go anywhere else.
Great kennels, very friendly, professional service, the boxers were very well cared for and totally comfortable with their holiday. Lovely location, spacious kennels and very good value.
I have been using Croft Pets (Sue) for quite some time and have absolutely no hesitation in providing this positive review. Both my dogs love going out with Sue and staying in her home. Sue is professional and and provides a fab service which is very much valued by me and my dogs. Thank you!
I regularly use Croft Pet Services for my two bunnies when we have to be away. Sue is brilliant, looks after them so well, such a kind hearted person who you can see just loves the animals. We never worry at all, as Sue is so trusted, we know our pets are in great hands. Highly recommended!
We have used Sue's service when away from home and have always been absolutely delighted with Croft Pets. Reliable, caring and a pleasure to deal with, we could always be confident that our pet was being loved and well looked after. Someone who goes the extra mile and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Sue is very reliable and has great communication. Very trustworthy with our two dogs who she visits regularly for us. It’s a relief knowing they get their mid-day wander!
Fabulous service! Sue walks my dog regularly at least once a week. Also, my dog has stayed with Sue in her home quite happily, even though she is quite a clingy dog, completely indifferent to strangers. Sue’s quiet, calm manner will give reassurance to nervous dogs. Sue is reliable, friendly and professional. We are lucky to have her!
Our cat is quite elderly and needs medication so we worry about leaving her but thankfully we are able to call on Sue at Croft Pet Services. She is very professional and follows your instructions but you can tell that she is also affectionate and caring towards your pet. We would 100% recommend her services.
Our cats adore Sue and when we have to go away it is with complete confidence that they are looked after so well and with kindness. Flexible service which has helped us during extended periods and family emergencies, we cant recommend Croft Pets highly enough.
Thank you so much Sue, for always taking great care of our cat while we are away, it is lovely for him to be able to stay in his home and be comfortable rather than going to a cattery. Everything is kept clean and tidy for us when we get back. You always manage to fit us in even a last minute break at Christmas - Thank you 😊 …
Sue walks our bouncy flat coat Jura weekly, she is reliable and very flexible to our needs for extra walks etc. We love the fact Jura gets a proper off lead run around and Jura is delighted to see Sue. Would definitely recommend.
My dogs, past and present, all love Sue! Reliable and flexible, even at short notice. Highly recommend her.
