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.
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!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
We knew that we would have a good experience with Carole & Ron from the moment we first had a video chat with them. They are very experienced house sitters and it showed in the questions they asked about our cats and our home. We were so fascinated by them that we invited them to arrive a day early so that we could all go out for lunch and then dinner to hear about their travel stories and share a few of our own. When we left, we felt very confident in our choice and took off on our trip with confidence that our dear kitties would be well cared for. We were not disappointed as Carole & Ron sent us photos and an update the very next day to let us know that all was well. During the next two weeks, we never had a moment of concern and fully enjoyed our vacation knowing that these seasoned sitters were both looking after our place and also enjoying themselves exploring our wonderful city of Philadelphia. We came home to two very happy cats, a clean house, and even a full bowl of fresh fruit on our kitchen counter. We would absolutely have Carole & Ron sit for us again and we wish them the very best of fun and exploration in their future adventures!
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.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Cat and Paul sat for me in December and kept a watchful eye on my trusty sidekick Jake. All I can say is my gosh what a great job they did giving Jake a lot of TLC. He obviously missed them since he wandered around our home looking for them after their departure. My home was left in the exact same condition and they did a great job of communicating with me during my trip, letting me know exactly how Jake was getting along. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of my home and showing Jake a great time. I hope that during the coming year they will volunteer to do another sit for me. If you need any other specifics about how awesome a sitter Cat is please feel free to call or email me and I will be more than happy to give you more details. Hope you have an opportunity in the future to use them as house and pet sitters! Regards! Edward
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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!
We can't thank Kate enough for all the times she has taken bear. Fab area for long walks. He leps out of the jeep everytime we arrive and he sees her, and doesn't even look back at us. 😁 Great to have someone you can trust to mind your pet. We don't have to think , once we drop him off. Thanks kate …
I left my dog Buddy for a 12 night stay cation with Longhill Dog Kennels and Cattery in July 2024. I would like to thank Kate and the team at Longhill a huge thanks for taking care of our dog. He had a great time and was looked after impeccably. Kate also went out of her way with pictures, video and updates to keep us rest assured. I would recommend anybody considering putting their dog into kennels for a stay, to choose Longhill as all the needs and owners reassurance are met. Thanks again. Ciaran & Buddy.
It was our first time having our cats stay in a cattery, so we were quite nervous as they are so precious to us. We needn’t has worried as Kate took great care of our two cats, Pickle and Seamus. We got photo updates through out our holiday which kept us at ease ☺️ we will be for sure using Longhill for future stays for our two boys 😀 …
We highly recommend Longhill Dog kennels & Cattery. It was our boys Bruno's first stay in a kennels and he absolutely loved it. Kate made his stay so comfortable and made sure he had all the things he enjoyed, his toy and blanket, he went for loads of walks and even made friends. Kate made sure to keep us updated on how Bruno was getting on and sent us a video of Bruno. We will definitely be using Longhill Dog kennels & Cattery again, and will recommend to all we know.
Nancy and Freddie love their holidays at longhill. I wouldn’t leave my dogs anywhere else! My boy Freddie has a rare medical condition (Megaesophagus & Myasthenia Gravis) and has very specific health needs which require a lot of extra care, medication at certain times etc. Kate and her team go out of their way to care for him every time he stays and he always comes back healthy and smiling. I can’t recommend longhill enough!
I was delighted with the wonderful care my Dad's dog received at longhill Dog Kennels. He is 13 years old and has not been in kennels for several years. The care he received was amazing when you drive through the gates and meet the owner you just know your dog is in good hands and will be well cared for. It was my first time using Longhill but it will not be my last. Martina
Our Dog loves going to stay with Kate, she always looks after him so well and when we go on our holidays it’s nice to know that’s he is enjoying his too.
My two large breed dogs love going on their holidays to Longhill. Kate looks after them very well. One of them is geriatric and needs special food and daily medication and he always receives it on schedule. They always come back in great form and its clear to see they have been very well looked after!
I highly recommend Longhill Dog Kennel! Brilliant care! Our little dog has always been well looked after everytime she’s on holiday in their Kennel. There was one time that she cried when her holiday with them was over… our little pet loves it there and I think she is fond of Kate. Thanks a million Kate for all the great care to our beloved pet.❤️
I Highly recommend longhill kennels and cattery. My dogs are always well cared for during their stay . Thanks to Kate
Friendly family run business, does a lovely groom for our dog Lola
We recently had our eight month old German Shepard groomed and they did a fantastic job, Diogo came home looking and smelling unreal. He also stayed in the kennels last weekend and was so well looked after and is already looking forward to his next visit. Thanks again 🐶🐾
Would not use these kennels ever again. They were put on news paper and he wouldn't even accept their beds or blankets. I wasn't allowed to enter to view them he gave covid as an excuse. On return 3 of my dogs were ill and filthy. They had to be brought to vets and treated which was costly, 1 had 2 eye ulcers, 1 had a cough and 1 had a fever and vomiting.I provided eye drops for dogs and pain medicines and were not used. I rang willy about the situation and he wasn't 1 bit sympathetic. Never offered to pay any of bill. Didn't even ask how they were Also he never asked about their names health age anything, just put them in and no cuddles or attention for 2 weeks. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU LOVE YOUR DOGS. Just pure money greedy
I got my border collie groomed here, They did a fantastic job! Staff are so friendly and caring. Great value too. Highly recommended I will definitely be back. Thanks a million folks
Took our little dog at short notice as we got a last minute holiday. No messing and no fuss. Great value too in comparison to kennels I’ve used previously. Thanks a lot.
Had my 12 week old airdale terrier puppy groomed absolutely brilliant exactly what she needed will definitely be returning next time thanks guys
Left our dog there, he was absolutely fine no issues at all, the owner was very good with him and very helpful as we had went there last minute. We have used other places too but this was the best.
Tico just back from his holidays here. He didn’t want to come home! Spotlessly clean. Great experience. 💯% recommend. …
My puppy of 9mths old stayed for 4days here and was a very happy boy . Willie is great and will certainly return !
Great spot for dogs, so reliable always accommodating. Willie is a gentleman.
