"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
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.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
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!
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!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
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!
Emma and Simon looked after my dog Nala and my mums dog shelby when I got married in the area. They had such a great time. We felt at ease leaving our fur babies with Emma and Simon as it was clear to see that they are as mad about dogs as we are. There was also a Google photo Album shared with us throughout their stay so we could see how content and happy the dogs were playing with Emma and Simons own family and fur babies Would highly recommend hounds on holiday to anyone Thank you Emma and Simon for taking such good care of Nala And Shelby.
We have an anxious Cockapoo, Oscar who I was nervous about leaving to go on holiday, but after visiting Emma & Simon (and their dogs Wanda and Merlin) with Oscar to make sure everyone was happy, we could see they were absolutely committed to ensuring he had the best time while we were away. They ask about any likes/dislikes your dog has, how you like them to be fed etc. In case of emergencies they have your pet insurance and vet info, dogs are apple ID tagged once they arrive for safety(which I found especially reassuring) The great part was receiving photos and messages daily so we could see how he was getting on. Seeing him having cuddles with everyone and lying on the sofa with Simon giving him belly rubs we knew he was happy and relaxed which was great. Absolutely recommend 100%
Emma, Simon and family are such lovely people who truly care and love your beloved dogs! I was so nervous about leaving our dog for the first time when we went abroad for our wedding but they honestly put you at ease. From little messages to photos and videos daily honestly made me smile to see him every day while we were away. Seeing him out on walks, socialising with other dogs and especially having cuddles on the sofa with everyone is just what Alfie needed while we were away.. Definitely Hounds on Holiday!! 100% recommend to anyone!!
Our little Willow (chihuahua cross) stayed with Emma and Simon overnight this week. Willow is blind and diabetic (insulin injections twice a day). It was her first stay away since the diagnosis and then going blind. We were very worried how she would cope within an unfamiliar environment and people she doesn't know. But she managed brilliantly with the excellent help from Emma and Simon. Not only did they look after Willow making sure she was safe, ate her food, had her insulin, but also updated us with photos throughout the day. This put our nerves at ease and allowed us to have a day away for family celebrations. Thank you Emma & Simon for looking after Willow so well. Maggie, Frank & Willow
Our dog Finnley's first stay here and what a wonderful and caring place for him to stay.Hes an old man with diabetes and blindness and was cared for wonderfully and we were so happy that he was safe and had his insulin, but also updated us with photos of his time there, which reassured us he was happy. Thank you both so very much for your kindness.
Our little Westie is our pride and joy and we were reluctant to leave him at a typical kennels. We found Hounds on Holiday and arranged a meet and greet at their lovely home. Emma and Simon were great and took to Rab straightaway. Rab loved the dogs there and had great fun in the garden which backs onto beautiful fields for long walks. Everything was communicated very well and we arranged a trial sleepover. Emma and Simon set up a Google photos share and very actively updated it through the sleepover, which was very comforting. When we went away we were completely satisfied and confident Rab would be cared for incredibly well. We had many daily photos where he was treated like one of the family; exactly what was needed. I cannot recommend this couple enough. Genuine dog lovers who treated our boy like a prince. Would definitely use Emma and Simon again. Thank you very much, Hounds on Holiday. Superb!
Fantastic! Tilly had never stayed away from home and we were apprehensive about who I'd be happy sending her to. We needn't have worried as Emma and Simon really did treat her like one of their own beautiful dogs, we received regular photos of her playing and enjoying her time away with her new doggy friends. We cannot recommend Hounds on Holidays enough we're so happy with by far the best doggy care you could hope for. Tilly had the best time!
Bruce had the most amazing holiday!! We had so many pictures videos of Bruce and his adventures and snuggle time with Emma and Simon. We highly recommended Hounds on Holiday. Bruce had the best time and make so many pup friends.. thank you so much for looking after our boy your amazing xx
Our Westie has an absolutely wonderful time with Emma and Simon. It's good to know your precious pet is well looked after and completely safe. Lovely walks to go on as well. Thank you so much Emma and Simon
My very spoilt pooch was looked after beautifully for one week. Simon and Emma sent me photos every day, gave my dog his medication and treated him like one of their family. I would definitely recommend Hounds on Holiday.
We were staying very nearby and felt a local dog sitter would be an excellent idea. We found Beverley via a google search. The location is absolutely amazing, and our dog (Fred) thoroughly enjoyed his stay. We highly recommend Beverley and Dogs at Hom. We will definitely be using Beverley when traveling/staying in mid/north Wales again :-)
Dogs at home have a fab space for the dogs in a beautiful countryside setting. Beverley was fab to deal with and was brilliant with my dog! We have never left our dog with anyone other than family but felt very happy with Beverley and would absolutely recommend her and use her services again!
Two year old Milo the Maniac has just returned from his holiday at Beverley's Hotel (Dogs at Home) and he has even been asked back! Milo is a headstrong Springer that needs constant attention and hours of play with ball and frisbee. Beverley has coped wonderfully well and Milo enjoyed his 8 day break from us. He has made friends with other dogs there which is unusual as her prefers his own company normally! We feel that we need look no further for Milo's future holidays as Beverley offered all we required for our baby and more. Sandie and I would recommend Dogs At Home to all who need caring, safe and clean accommodation for their pals. Thank you Beverley!
Beverley has looked after boy my Jasper twice over the summer and I would highly recommend. She has a lovely home and there are always other doggos around for him to play with. She has been friendly, reliable and contact is quick. Thank you!x
Rupert my Parsons Russel terrier nearly 15 months old stayed here for 4 days he he was obviously excited to see me for a few minutes , but was super chill in the car back home not stressed one tiny bit . When home he played for a bit then chilled out and slept the day away getting over the excitement of his first ever stay away from me. I would definitely say he was well looked after . He definitely would have been a ball energy 😂. Thank you from Rupert and Emma
Odie has been to Beverley several times, he has always had the best time, and comes back home happy. I can fully trust Beverley, it’s a lovely private spacious ground at coombs moor in Presteigne, and fully recommend 😁 …
Beverly is wonderful. We had our 16.5 year old Cockerspaniel stay with her whilst we went abroad. We picked him up happy and healthy and that’s all we could ask for. Beverly has the dogs in her beautiful home so rest assured they are like part of her family. Highly recommend!!! Luke
Our little frenchie Ziggy had an amazing time, he loved being there and has already been booked back in for our and his next holiday. Truly caring and not a cage or kennel in sight. Doggy’s running around on the garden, looked after with lots of love xx
Cookie & Zena, our two Shih Tzu's, are always pleased to see Beverley. I feel so confident leaving them here, safe in the knowledge that they will be very well looked after. The house and garden is beautiful and spotlessly clean. It is a real 'home from home' environment, where the dogs are all treated as one of their own. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Beverley and her dog boarding services. Sue
Our dog Benji stayed with Beverley for four nights and we knew that he was in safe hands as soon as we dropped him off. The house and garden are secure and perfectly suited to our energetic pup. It was clear that Beverley was capable and caring when it came to looking after dogs and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services.
Can't rate this day care highly enough. Karin has been a big help looking after our dog with affection and professionalism. Also offering great advice on how to deal with our maxybears issues. I would highly recommend!
We left our Irish Terrier at Dogs at Home for three weeks, having been recommended it by a friend. What an excellent decision! Unfortunately, our dog became very ill due to a pre-existing condition and Karina was ABSOLUTELY wonderful. Sensible, caring, calm and keeping us up to date at all times, even using her excellent local vet too. We have just had the test results back and he is back at full fitness. Karina is not just an animal lover, she has a wealth of experience with dogs, and has exactly the right type of character to look after your dog in a professional and caring way. Anthony
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOME BOARDING SERVICE - We used Dogs at Home for the first time and we couldn’t have been happier with the care given to our two old dogs. They are both on medication, but Karina wasn’t put off by that at all, it just wasn’t a problem for her. Karina is obviously very caring towards the dogs she looks after and her wealth of experience made us feel very much at ease leaving our old boys with her. When we collected them we could see they were happy and well. We will definitely be bringing the boys back to stay.
This was the second stay for our rescue Mr. Darcy. I was nervous the first time we left him with Karina, but he came back home happy and healthy. His second holiday, he was happy to see Karina and wandered off her without any fuss! I am just so happy we have found someone who will care for our boy when we are away. I highly recommend "Dogs at Home", and we love getting our updates of photos and videos. It does our boy good to socialise with the other dogs in day or holiday care. Karina is professional, caring, and experienced in dog handling. Thank you.
I cannot recommend Dogs at Home highly enough. My dog has been attending regularly for day care and overnight stays since she was a puppy and she absolutely adores her time with Karina; always returning home happy, exhausted and content. Karina is really focused on providing a safe, protective and nurturing environment for the dogs in her care and is passionate about their welfare. Look no further for the very best possible care and experience for your precious loved one.
I was a bit worried about leaving our GSD puppy for the first time. Karina has done a fantastic job with caring for our big boy and kept us updated on his well being the whole way through with videos, photos and messages. I will be definitely using this service again. We went on holiday and this was booked before we got our Bear so it only felt right that bear went on a holiday too. I didn’t feel right sending him to an actual kennel where he would be locked away in a cage. He has had the most amazing week and great socialising too. Thank you so much for having him for us and taking such great care of him. He is one worn out pup but he’s had a lovely time. I’m so happy to have him home.
Update 16 months later (April 2023) - our dog was so neclected at Dogs at Home that he is terrified anytime he sees us packing the bags. It looks like poor old boy confidence has been lost forever. --------------------- December 2021 - We left our dog with Karina for Christmas hoping he will have better home than in a kennel. I can not comment how he was looked after as I was not there. Sadly when he was collected his fabric crate had a very strong smell of urine, detected on the drive back home (a very pungent journey!). When we checked inside, we saw that the crate and all of his bedding was full of urine. We had to throw away everything and became really concerned what happened. We called Karina and asked if she has any idea why our dogs bedding was wet and urinated. Sadly, she was unable to provide any explanation, and strongly rejected the fact that his bed was covered in wee. We can only state that upon collection, it was in an unacceptable state, and has caused us serious reservations about the level of care our dog received over Christmas. I don't like writing this review, and it is not something being done for any reason other than outlining our experience.
Parting with our three beautiful fur-babies is always difficult but Karina offers a home from home environment where we know they will be well looked after until our return. The regular photos and videos she sends are lovely touches and reflect the care and attention she gives to making sure the owners, as well as the dogs, are as stress-free as possible. I can highly recommend.
My boy Waffle has been going to Karina for around a year now. He is very attached to me and usually becomes anxious if he cant see me but handing him over to Karina its like I don't exist he doesn't even look back at me as he trots off to his stay. I recieve updates, videos and pictures and Karina is so flexible and has helped me lots at short notice. I'm so relieved I have found Karina as I know my boy is cared for when I can not be with him.
Karina was looking after our labrador Frugo several times now. Never had any issues and we were having a laugh seeing his pictures as he seems to have better holidays than us 🤣 He always looks very happy 😊 …
