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.

. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
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!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
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!
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!
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!
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
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 am so pleased with Sarah at Border Bears. My 14yr old dachshund has just stayed with her for 4 days and 4 nights and has come back extremely happy. I received updates promtly from Sarah when i txt her asking how Daisy was and a photo. I will be using Sarah again for sure even if its just for the odd day out. Thank you once again. Daisy will miss you and your dogs.
Avoid at all costs…Please bear with me as this is a long one. My two dogs have just spent 3 nights with Sarah and I wanted to send some feedback. As follows: Thank you for taking care of the boys from Tuesday until today; we truly appreciate your help. I wanted to share a bit of feedback, if that's alright. First and foremost, we were grateful that you took the time to call us and discuss our requirements. It was reassuring to know that you are licensed and insured. I also loved that the boys had a trial day to ensure they felt comfortable with your home and dogs. That said, I must express some disappointment regarding the lack of updates on how the boys were doing. Mike mentioned on Tuesday afternoon that updates would be appreciated, especially since his phone was acting up. However, by Wednesday morning, we hadn't heard from you. After reaching out that morning to check on them, we still didn’t receive any pictures or substantial updates, and we ultimately didn’t hear anything at all. While I understand you may have wanted to avoid disturbing us during our wedding, I hope you can appreciate that the boys mean everything to us, and being in a new environment (even if they've been with you during the day) is still concerning. Additionally, when our friend came to pick up the boys, we found their food in the fridge only at dinner time. Upon opening the box, we discovered that all four meals (two for each dog) had gone moldy. I apologise if we failed to inform you that the food needed refrigeration, as it is fresh. However, I am very disappointed that it returned to us in that condition. The boys were with you for three days, and we always keep their food in those containers in our fridge without any issues. I sincerely hope the other meals they had were not in a similar state. Furthermore, the boys' food bowls had not been washed or cleaned since breakfast this morning, which raises questions about whether they were cleaned at all during their stay. While we are grateful for your willingness to help us on short notice, we will be seeking other options in the future. The response I got back is as follows: ‘Firstly I was under the impression you were getting married so "updates" unless urgent would only alarm you Secondly the food was kept chilled until thus morning and i washed up each receptacle as it was used. Thirdly the feed bowls were washed up daily but not this morning. You are entitled to use who you wish but you should perhaps inform them that they are likely to "mark" indiscrimately in the house whuch perhaps may make them think twice.’ My response: Thank you for your very swift and if I’m honest, passive aggressive response. We 100% informed on the phone that Duke scent marks and you said you would keep him in a room with no furniture, so you are in no way in a position to be rude about that. I think perhaps there have been crossed wires about the updates as certainly regardless of where MY clients are going, I always ask if they would like updates. To return dirty bowls to us having given them to you clean is pure laziness and we accommodated you needing to go to an appointment this morning by asking a friend to collect them, so the least you could have done was run them under the tap. I do not appreciate your tone and I think it’s extremely unprofessional. Good luck in the future! Sarah’s response: ‘It’s a pity you cannot see that the dogs are fit, Healthy and focused on 2 bowls, the food was chilled so you are at fault. Grow up!’
Amazing match was found for my dog while we were away in Asia. And am now about to book another pet stay . Fantastic service. You can completely relax it is extremely well run.
Am yet to use the service, however communication excellent, immediate response to email, most helpful and good advice. I contacted them because of good recommendations.
Wasn't interested in looking after our dog, after we enquired about dates they were already busy on they said they were busy and couldn't help, when asked about other dates they didn't respond to messages.
Bobby Greenmile was so excited to arrive at Pampered Pets Hotel, I could tell by his little smiling face. The owner is so knowledgeable and understanding of all dogs and how much they mean to their owners. Would 💯 recommend. …
Very professional and helpful would highly recommend this place for you dogs they love it. Will use again soon book early to avoid disappointment.
I would have no problem reccomending Pamered Pets to anyone, the dogs are treated like you treat them yourselves . We have rescue dog from them, Ronnie's her name and she is absolutely wonderful and spoilt rotten by all who meet her. We l9ve her to bits and so does her doggie brother Charlie.
This is the first time we have had to use kennels and so pleased we found Pampered pets Hotel. Jane and her staff were so welcoming and friendly and our little boy Coco was treated as one of their own. A superb doggy hotel in a beautiful house and gardens. Very professional and Highly recommended
My 2 yellow labs appeared to love their stay here whilst we went on a 1200 mile round trip to Scotland. Staff are friendly and accomodating and the dogs run in and don't stop to say goodbye to us so I guess that says it all!
Absolutely fantastic place to house your dogs whilst your away. Very well priced and friendly staff. We’ve used fantastic pets multiple times over the past few years and still can’t believe how good they are.
I am so pleased with the grooming provided at Pampered Pets. My rescue puppy (Binky) came to me very matted - so matted her coat had to be totally clipped. This was done without causing Binky any stress and I know she feels much better. She will now be able to have 'normal' grooming. Thank you. Kris
Be very careful they only care about making money we got a dog from them he turn on us they knew that he had problems. I wanted to know what happened to him as we had falling in love. They said they had found him a home far away turns out he was living in the same village as us and again they had the same problem. Emma dose not care about the dogs at all be very careful this sort of thing has happen again and again with them. I still think of him every day.
This is such a special holiday home for your beloved dog. I wouldn't go anywhere else. My beloved Casper went there for the whole of his life....always bouncing out of the car to greet his friends and 2nd family at pampered pets. Now my Poppy follows on in his paw prints and loves to be there also. Home from home.
Jane, Steve and all the staff really do love the animals in their care. "Joe" was clearly very well looked after and seemingly would happily have stayed longer than 2 weeks!
My dog loves it here. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.
We went on a short vacation and could not bring our puppy with us. Happi Days looked after our little boy very well during our trip. Throughout his stay, they posted pictures of all the dogs in their care, so we could see how he was making friends with other dogs and was enjoying all the playtime. We recommend this great dog care place!
Our sweet, little dog stayed here for four nights. For the amount that we paid Happi Days to look after her, we then had to pay more than that again in vet fees to make her better after her stay. She came back to us filthy and stinking. Worse, she was utterly traumatised. Wouldn't move, wouldn't look at the kids, just absolutely a changed dog. God only knows what happened to her there, but it clearly wasn't good. She wouldn't eat for the first few days, and when she eventually did, she vomited it up again. Needed a load of medication and vet care to get her back to her usual happy self. Horrified by what happened to our poor dog. Goes without saying, will never use them again.
Our Jack has stayed at Happi Days several times while we're on holiday, and he seems to have a good time. They post photos on Facebook so we can see how he is.
We love them and our dog Amber loves them. We could not look after our furbaby without them. She was a very nervous and stressed dog before she started attending Happi days and now is lovely and relaxed and gets along with other dogs. We are so grateful for Helen and Emma and the team
absolutely fantastic, excellent qualified staff and plenty of them to feel assured your loved dog is in safe hands, plus they have loads of different areas and woodland walks, I know Queenie will always come home tired after non stop playing and she loves going there and good for her to socialise with other dogs. recommend ++++
Took our Cocker Spaniel there today for grooming. We attend Martlesham Happi Days but no groomer at present. Very welcoming staff and (Amy)? did excellent job with groom. Well satisfied and highly recommend.
Diablo loves this place, he can’t wait to get in there! Exceptional care, they really go above and beyond to look after our dogs. Thank you Happi Days!
Had my dog groomed there for first time am so happy with the result will definitely go back
This is an absolutely brilliant facility. Mabel loves it and all the staff love the dogs. Great socialisation, fun and care. Very flexible when needed.
We have used Fordleymoor for 20+ years for our dogs and from when they started looking after cats. Our many dogs have all enjoyed their holiday with Julie and the girls over the years and are so well cared for. We wouldn’t trust anywhere else with our fur family and think they do an amazing job, Thankyou
Great kennels, and a lovely team looking after the dogs. After several years of taking my dogs here, I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.
My boys love it here!! Always happy on arrival! Highly recommended!
Have been using fordleymoor for years now and can only say how great they are. Our dogs love being there and the staff are all really nice. 5 stars from me.
Fordleymoor, Julie and the rest of the staff are the best! My animals are cared for with 100% love and professionalism. I leave them with complete peace of mind and confidence. Nothing is too much trouble, even taking my cat to the vet for a weekly check up. And the dogs get very excited as soon as I drive in. I'm so grateful for everything they do.
Our two dogs love going to Fordleymoor kennels. They perk up as I drive them there and scratch to get out of the car! And they get get an hour's walk a day at home, so their life is already pretty good! It's great to know that when we go away they aren't going to be miserable. Highly recommended. Thank you Julie and your team.
We have boarded both our cat and dog here. The staff are friendly and the kennels are professionally run. The accommodation was spotless and I would have no hesitation in recommending. These comments come from a couple who have previously run a highly recommended boarding establishment themselves.
Wouldn't trust anyone else. Our dog never looks back and drags the poor girl along to the kennels lol. Highly recommend Fordley Moor.
I've had my dog stay a few times now. This place is very affordable with a great standard of care. She's always happy to go and happy when picked up. What more can you ask for.
Just visited to assess this kennels and am really impressed. Each kennel is clean and spacious. Many returning 🐕 dogs which is supported by the number of thank you cards on the wall. …
Our little lab attends Happi Days every work day and absolutely loves it. They celebrate the dog's birthdays and always have themed events depending on the time of year. They also offer a discount if your dog attends more than a certain number of days a month. As of September we won't need daily day care for our pup but we'll still take him in on the odd occasion to see his pals.
So, so happy with the discovery of Happi Days! I thought it was just day care, I wasn't aware of the grooming service, a friend recommended them. We had Sophie as our groomer, the whole experience is a good one. You can feel the lovely atmosphere the second you walk into the place. Never been so impressed with a groomers, can't recommend them enough. I'd also like to point out the value for money. The amount of "extras" you get as the standard package is brilliant. For example, Pets At Home would charge extra for the nails cutting, Happy Days don't, that's just a standard thing they do.
my doggo loves it there always comes out happy and the staff are very caring xx
Amazing staff that really are great at what they do and always super cheerful and friendly. Oh, and Zed always comes home tired, which is a bonus.
Great daycare. Competitively priced. Opens at 7am unlike many others.
Lettie loves happi days. Initially, she was shy but now can't wait to run in!
Seems like a lovely place: we were looking for options on day time care from a surprise dog arrival. However, the cost was too much. I must specify that this is not a reflection on this company specifically. Dog daycare in general is an expensive cost which was something we cannot afford. This looked like the best in the area!
We take our dog to happi days and as soon as we mention the word she gets really excited. They do so much with her from partues to agility, walking in woods.
Plenty for dogs to do. They offer extras too for busy owners, like wash, groom, woodland walks. They take photos every day so you can see what your pooch got up to. Our dog has been for two half day sessions and comes home whacked but happy. Opens early and finishes late to fit in and the offer over night stays too.
Our dog goes to Happi Days Dog Day Care every week day and comes back home very tired so she must definitely enjoy her time there! They put daily pictures on facebook so that we can see what our dog has been up to. Staff are friendly. They also offer wood walks and other treatments but we have not tried them. I would definitely recommend them if you have got a high energy dog like ours (she's a beagle!). The price is also competitive in comparison to other creches.
