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.

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Chris was an outstanding pet sitter and I would definitely use him again! He is reliable, responsible, and thorough. I was able to FaceTime Chris prior to the sit and he spent a lot of time answering and asking questions. I felt confident after speaking with him. Throughout the weekend, Chris communicated clearly through texting. He let me know when he arrived and left which was helpful. He also sent photos and updates of both my cats. My boy cat has occasional anxiety issues which cause UTI's. Andy had a flare up while I was away and Chris was very attentive to him and let me know how he was doing. Chris did not seem to mind taking extra care of him which I very much appreciate. Chris left my house clean and even washed the sheets and towels he used before leaving!
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
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.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
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!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their 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 them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were 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 Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make 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 of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. 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. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
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 :)
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!
My little Chi seemed to have been looked after very well in his 8 nights at the kennel. It was his first time in kennels and very timid so we were very concerned, he did come back with the runs with a little blood in his poo but he was eating and playing as normal so we have put it down to it being quite a stressful time for him being separated from us for the first time and after a couple of days it seems to be clearing up, so I don’t think this is a fault of the kennels. Would definitely use this place again.
Puppy was cold, wet and very smelly when collected. Staff had no awareness of how she’d been over the weekend which was concerning especially as it was her first stay. They couldn’t say if she had been off her food, had stomach upset etc. She was exceptionally thirsty when we got her home which makes me wonder if water was restricted. She was not walked during her stay. She had some play time with other dogs in an outside pen but these pens were not supervised at the times we dropped off and collected so I am unsure how quickly staff could respond if dogs started fighting etc. Staff were not friendly towards our puppy. She wasn’t spoken to by staff at drop off or collection. She was taken from us and placed in a holding pen from where she watched us drive away. Not ideal and upsetting for her and us. Previous kennels we’ve used with our other dogs, settled the dog in their kennel before the owner left. Do not recommend.
Could not have chosen a better place to board my 2 cairn terriers. Staff are exceptional and very experienced. Bonnie and Busicuit came home Happy and relaxed after their 8 day stay. Will definitely book again.
Boarded our dog here for 10 days. The people here have a lot of experience in dealing with all breeds of dog and clearly love their job. Our boy settled well and was well looked after. Thanks to all involved in his stay.
Friendly family run business. Lots of space. The staff are all very knowledgeable. Our dogs love the gold mix food. Clean and well taken care of grounds. The kennels have lots of space. Very reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend 👌
We put our pup into the kennels for daycare one day a week and he is treated phenomenally there! The staff are friendly and ensure he gets plenty of socialising whilst there! He doesn’t want to come home after the fun day he’s had at daycare
Staff are very friendly. My dog loves staying there and is always excited when collected . Good prices also
Great Kennels staff are lovely our dog loves it she can't wait to go
My dog gets so excited to go here and absolutely loves the people that looked to her. They are great for fire wood too. I cannot recommend them enough!
Fantastic kennels - I booked my wee 9 month old in for a couple of weeks and she was incredibly well taken care of. She can be nervous, as well as having some attachment issues, but the guys at Moorie Kennels were great with her, and even took her on indvidual walks to ease her nerves. :)
Best place you could put your dog. The dogs are so well looked after and Amanda and Mitchell are so caring towards the dogs and make everything easy. Our dog comes home happy and stimulated every time she goes and we know she gets the best care whilst she's there.
I now know that dogs can tell time....Tiko, my German Shepherd, on a Monday and Thursday morning, knowing he's going to the Red Collar, is high as a kite and can't wait to get into the car. I know that by the way he runs to whoever answers the bell, he loves it there, probably enjoying being someone else's pain in the butt for a wee while;....but seriously ...dogs are pack animals, and at the Red collar they are running and playing in packs. socialising and learning how to behave in the company of other dogs ...you can;t get better.....anywhere.
Absolutely amazing! From a dog mum who thought no one could look after her dog properly, to now I feel guilty if my dog hasn't been out to Red Collar! Dogs absolutely love it and it is such good value for money. Can't fault it and the owners really know their stuff.
Friendly helpful staff looked after my wee man when they found him on his own.
Best daycare ever, your dog is very lucky if they get to go here.
Our dogs love it there, Amanda and mitch are very welcoming and treat our dogs like they theirs. Plenty of things and space for them to run around and burn all the energy up. Just one big family when all the dogs are together 🐶🐾xxx …
We've taken our puppy Maisie twice now and she loves being with Amanda and Mitchell because she always comes home worn out from having so much fun. Maisie will be a regular visitor for fun and cuddles.
My border collie loves this place,staff are all really friendly and at the end of every day they post hundreds of pictures of what the dogs have been getting up to.
Great set up. Perfectly safe for my escape artist of a pointer. Looking forward to our next visit
Great place to leave your dog. The staff really care for the animals and you can tell my dog loves to go there.
Fatastic place to put your pet. Wonderful friendly service, very clean and tidy, and great location for us. Our pup loves it there and there's no looking back. Once we hand him over to Nadia, he's gone. Always happy and content. Nadia spends time letting you know how the stay was and if there are any issues to be aware of. Highly recommend.
Wouldn't take Ruby anywhere else! She has a blast and comes back happy every time!
My recent experience with my Lab, Hector and his friend Ocean has been excellent. Service good, kennels clean and dogs very happy. Nadia has just taken over and I wish her all the best. Ocean is my girlfriend's Doberman & cat Nikita spent 6 weeks at a time in the kennels over the last 2 years while their owner worked offshore. Excellent reports there as well.
The new owners Nadia and Jamie are friendly and welcoming. They looked after my cat Millie fantastically over Christmas! They will even pick up and drop off too. I would recommend this especially if you are travelling on A90 as it's very convenient to drop off your pets.
I have used Cairnview Kennels for almost a year now. I was doubtful at first and was anxious how Houston would react when he gets home. I do not like leaving my baby to the kennel but due to circumstances (surgery & personal reasons) I have to board him Sometimes they keep him for 6 weeks. To my surprise, he was the same Houston as we had the first day he left. Elaine,Wendy, and Kevin have been great to deal with. I feel comfortable to leave Houston at Cairnview, as it seems he truly enjoy being there. Cairnview also walks Houston. I would highly recommend this kennel. They have treated Houston great and Houston loves to see Kevin everyday.
Thank you to the AMAZING Miller Family for taking such great care of our pup! Our fur baby has loved her holidays and would love to come and stay again.
Jamie and Nadia are ever so helpful and my dog definitely had a great time coming home happy after spending 8 nights. Will definitely use them again
Excellent level of service, my cat always comes home happy and content. Very reasonable prices and lovely owners. Would highly recommend.
A lovely couple who run this place. Would recommend 100% . Will be returning our cat and dog for their holidays again!!
Our dog seemed quite happy after his stay and we would be happy to board him again. Thank you.
Great place. No issues and Jimmy loves getting pampered... They pick him up and drop him off aswell which is great as don't drive. He goes every month now for a grooming.
Very friendly and can tell that they love the dogs they care for.
Bear dog never looked better. And she likes going!
Experienced and friendly dog training, highly recommended
Fantastic owners who really care about your pet.
Great place to wash your dog with drying facilities. Very polite and friendly staff.
It was a real pleasure to work with Michelle and we would highly recommend her services to anybody in the area. She pet sat our little pup George and his two furry pals, Max and Timmy, during our wedding weekend at Drumtochty Castle. Michelle is a qualified and insured dog carer, who is professional, committed and understands the needs of each pet are different. Her caring and calm nature was particularly welcomed by Timmy who can get very anxious in new surroundings and little pup George who is a little rocket full of energy. It was great having her support during those days and it gave us great peace of mind to know our dogs had company and great care. Thank you!
