Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
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.
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
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.
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.
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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!
My little Shih Tzu has improved so much in just two sessions. She suffers with leash reactivity and after trying other local trainers without any success I spoke to Jill at Mountain View and I now have hope that Maggie and I will get through this issue together. I’m very happy and would highly recommend their services.
If you have a dog that is very excitable this isn’t the kennels for you. Our boy is amazing and loves people but the owners couldn’t cope with him been slightly pleased to see humans after been locked up in a kennel for several hours. We were made to feel like the worst dog parents ever. They forced us to use their unqualified trainer and drive an hour each way which didn’t help in any way and then cancelled our booking which left us stressed as it was for our daughter’s wedding and didn’t care one iota. I left in tears so save yourself the stress and book yourself somewhere that understands dogs.
Our beautiful Wemeraner has just had his 3rd boarding visit, in 18 months, at the fabulous Mountain View Boarding Kennels. He always comes back looking as healthy as when he was collected. Gill also always sends us pictures of Ronnie, to reassure us! This was only a quick stay, but on a last minute request he was 'showered' before he was returned, looking & smelling great! We certainly wouldn't use anywhere else & would certainly recommend this amazing, professional Boarding Kennels to anyone! Especially if you who want your 'loved' pet to be looked after & cared for as you would wish! Thankyou Gill x
Simon came home a happy kitty. Such a relief that he was well cared for while we were away.
We chose Mountain View based on their reviews. However business like they may be but upon collecting my five ginger kids I was horrified to see them traumatised with changed personalities! Having had them home for a week they have done nothing but eat. They are clingy and are having nightmares. We have used other catteries in the past and this never happened before! Would not recommend! A friend suggested I look at your response and although I had moved on from this traumatic experience, I felt I could not leave your inaccuracies available for public view. I delivered 5 well adjusted ginger cats that had all been born in our house, along with Mr. Robinsons 4 tabbies. When at home they seek love and closeness and are calm at all times. So it only goes to prove that their experience with you was the reason they stayed away from any human for a while..... We are thankful that they finally forgave us for taking them to you 🙏 I leave Mr Robinson to answer your comments regarding the alleged 'never having his fur babies'.
After loads of hassle to get my four cats into Mountain View whilst I went on holiday, I left them to be cared for. When I got back from holiday I arranged to pick them up between 4 an 5pm. I got there 10 minutes early, rang to let me in and was kept waiting until 4. When I was let in I was horrified to see the way my cats reacted to her and me. Hissing, spitting and cowering. All I wanted was to get them out of there as fast as possible, which wasn't easy when they were so frightened and traumatized. My 3 legged special needs cat wouldn't walk! He has needed to be encouraged to exercise again. All of them have lost weight and have done nothing but eat since returning. Personally one star is far too much and I would never put my kids through that again. Not recommended at all. I thank Mr. Porter for drawing my attention to your response and I felt I needed to add the following. I appreciate the fact you don't enjoy bad reviews, but calling me a liar is rich when you didn't acknowledge the fact you had taken in Gambit our 3 legged hero. Incidentally, one of the most loving boys I have ever had. I can only assume you take so little interest in your charges that you didn't notice one with a leg missing!! I stand by my previous review and should you feel that the Guardia need be involved I suggest you use their Seprona division. They are directly responsible for environmental and animal abuses. NB....we are working closely with them fighting for the rights of street cats, so they know our record in this area.
Fantastic kennels with owners who have been operating for nearly twenty Years, who offer a safe and fun place for our beloved pets. Our baby has just spent over a week in their care whilst we were abroad, they sent updates and even a picture to reassure us of his wellbeing. Will now be using this treasured place to give him play days, and further holidays. Highly recommend for other pet owners.
Mountain View looked after our two mini Dachshunds really well. Had them in the paddling pool, sent us videos and updates with photos on a regular basis, and the dogs looked really healthy when we picked them up after there 4 week stay. Thanks, Gill & her team.
I can not recommend Mountain View highly enough. My 3 fur babies had an amazing time in their own luxury dog villa. They were very well looked after. Gill sent me daily updates which was so reassuring. Thank you so much guys, absolutely top rated service
Mountain View Boarding Kennels and Cattery , a quick thank you Gill and Tony once again for looking after our furr babies Mia and Marley. Thank you for all your help with obedience training and guidance , as well as making their stay so comfortable each time that they are with you. To anyone considering entrusting Mountain View, I can only recommend them 100% and guarantee that you will be happy with the service, knowing your loved ones are happy and safe. A fully legal establishment giving full peace of mind.
Good market, one of the best in terms of quality and price
