Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
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.
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
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!
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.
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me 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!
Golden Paws has been Logan’s favorite place for the past 4 years, and it’s easy to see why! Every time I pick him up, I practically have to convince him to come home—he loves it that much! A huge thank you to Sarah and Frank for all the love and care you give to Logan. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such great hands. I can’t recommend Golden Paws enough!
Sarah and Frank are truly amazing!! Our cockapoo Norman visits for day care and stays for holidays..his 4th year..it's his second home 🏡 We never worry as he is happy, cared for and has a fantastic time with the other dogs staying. He has made new friends for life. Sarah and Frank are very experienced, professional and care deeply for every dog in their care. Five star fabulous 🌟
Sarah & Frank are just the kindest. I’ve had trouble with feeding our cocker and they have given me invaluable advice. They also look after Barney like their own, sending updates when we are on holiday. I am so grateful that they took Barney. It’s his 2nd home & Barney loves it. Highly, highly recommended.
Sarah and Frank are fantastic and so supportive. They are a five star run family business and care for dogs and their owners more than you could ever imagine. They are Betty's second family. I cannot recommend highly enough. Vikki
Absolutely amazing! Sarah and Frank are very special people and I am so pleased I found them to look after my two fur babies. One of my dogs was very scared of other dogs, but they worked so hard with him and now he is great with all dogs even when we are out with him. It was so nice to be away and have peace of mind that the dogs were being well looked after and having lots of fun. The little videos we received whilst away were so lovely. I can’t recommend Golden Paws enough! Thank you xx Emma
Sarah and Frank LOVE dogs and Coco absolutely adores them and plays with all the dogs. I don’t worry because I know she is being well cared for
Our puppy has been going to Golden Paws for the last 4 months. From the first time I spoke with Sarah, I knew she was going to take such good care of him. With their guidance, we put together a plan to slowly introduce him to her (and Frank & Bear ) and build up confidence for all of us. Our puppy now knows when we are in their road and bounds up the door to see them and their other guests. We have built up our puppy’s time with them, increasing to overnight stays and we have now just picked him up from a week’s holiday with them. Sarah sends as many photos/videos as you would like and her love and care for the dogs is wonderful. Our puppy has had the best time with them and his friends. Nothing is too much trouble and we are so thankful for them.
Look no further for your dog sitting, sitter needs! I can't begin to describe how great Sarah and Frank where with our 1 year old rescued street dog. From the off, Sarah put my mind at rest that he would be in the best possible hands, and he was. Sarah and Frank could not have been kinder, not only to us but also with our pup, sending regular updates and treating him with love and patients in what could have easily become an overwhelming situation. Albie played well with the other dogs and slept soundly. We couldn't be more thankful to Sarah and Frank as we were able to go and enjoy a family wedding safe in the knowledge Albie was being well looked after. We aren't local to Essex but if we were we would use Golden Paws again - no question- as Albie was sad to go and leave his new found friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm so thankful for Pepper to of come to Golden Paws for a week's holiday 🐾 , they have been absolutely amazing ... They took amazing care of our puppy and her first ever holiday from us. We had daily pup updates , and she was a very well looked after happy puppy. Would 100% recommend and use in the future. Our puppy has grown confidence around other dogs now too which is amazing. Thank you Sarah & Frank amazing animal lovers, and can clearly see they adore every dog they look after.
I was so happy to find Golden Paws for my sometimes nervous chihuahua. Sarah and Frank have a wonderful way with animals and are truly caring. It definitely is a bespoke service and my chihuahua is being eased into being close to other dogs. Sarah sent me videos and messages to let me know how Billie was getting along and I could see in the videos how much progress he was making in this lovely calm and caring environment. I highly recommend Golden Paws and feel so lucky to have found them.
This has to be the best decision for my dog, Luna, that I’ve made. Of course it takes courage to entrust one’s beloved pet with others, but Nikki and her team are fabulous. Luna is deaf so has her special needs! On meeting Nikki she was so keen to learn of Lunas little ways, so she and her team can truly meet her needs. Luna quickly fell in love with Bobbi, her usual walker, greeting her very happily and trotting off down the path with her. She comes back tired but very contented. The photos of her jaunt with Bobbi make it all worthwhile - see the photos of ‘during’ the walk and post walk! I have confidence in Nikki and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
More than happy with the care our dog gets from WLP Broomfield. Karen goes over and above to make sure our dog has the best time possible.
We Love Pets looked after my pets very well while we were on holiday in the summer. There was a comprehensive pre-visit to find out all about our pets and their needs. Our cat requires daily medication and they were happy and confident to administer this. They also took very good care of our rabbit and our rats with their dietary requirements. Every pet looked healthy and well looked after and the house was clean and tidy when we came home. Just all done very well, thank you very much. Would definitely recommend.
Nichola and her team, put the happiness and welfare of our pets before everything else. When our dog Yogi, didn’t get on well when we used the dog boarding service for the first time, he was brought home and a house sitter was put in place and at no extra cost to us. His happiness was all that mattered to Nichola. We highly recommend We Love Pets (because they do) and we won’t be trusting our pets with any other pet care company.
Due to a change in personal circumstance I needed help with walking my Labrador on days when I needed to work. Nichola and the team at welovepets Chelmsford were excellent, from an initial call to a meeting with my dog, the dog walkers are great, the dog loves her walks and I have the peace of mind she is ok while I’m at work. I come home to a calm well exercised dog. They are flexible, accommodating and communicate well. Would highly recommend
I have an anxious dog who is very nervous of new people but Alexandra put in a lot of time and effort with my dog and Bailey now absolutely loves Alexandra and loved spending time with her! Nichola kept me updated with photos whilst I was away so I felt very comforted knowing Bailey was being well looked after. Will 100% be using 'We love Pets' and Alexandra again! Thank you! :)
So glad that we found Nichola and the team! We needed someone to take our Pooch out for a few days and we felt completely comfortable trusting them with him. Rosco enjoyed his walks and we loved knowing that he was in safe hands. Would 100% recommend them.
Really happy with We Love Pets. Always on time, super flexible to our needs (even at short notice!) and our dog loves his pop in visits and walks with the team! I would recommend them to everyone!
I would like to thank Bobbi for taking Reggie on a couple of walks, I know he was a little nervous at first but he looked very happy once he was out. This was only a trial & unfortunately as I work in London, I didn’t like leaving him all day. There’s no doubt should I need a dog walker or someone just to pop in, We Are Pets will be the first people I contact.
Nichola was really accommodating and flexible when booking walks. Bobbi and Jade are both great with my dog and we’ve never had any issues. I would definitely recommend
Fantastic pet sitter. Our cat was so well looked after during our week away. Couldn't be happier with the service. We received updates every day as to how our cat was doing.
Would highly recommend all seasons for doggy boarding. We recently needed some dog boarding and had a recommendation for here. From the moment we spoke to Donna we felt at ease having our Labrador stay here. She had a 5 night stay recently and all the pics on Facebook show the dogs having the time of their lives. Don’t hesitate to use All Seasons, our dog had the best time ever and was so looked after!
A massive thank you to Donna who very kindly agreed to look after our two sibling cockapoos, they have come home very relaxed. This is the very first time we have left our two and i know you will understand how anxious we were about leaving them but honestly we never needed to worry. Donna also spent the time when we went to collect them to share her expert knowledge in their behaviour both good and bad which I find invaluable in their development Thank you
Our 1 year old Sprocker, Fred, stayed at All Seasons last week and absolutely loved it there! He's bit crazy and gets rather excited when out for a walk but Donna and her family were wonderful with him. When we picked him up he was reluctant to come home and did not stir for several hours when back at home, being absolutely knackered after his fun week! Donna posts plenty of pictures and videos of the dogs to Facebook so you can keep an eye on them whlist away and all of our famiy loved catching up on Fred's activities every day. Highly recommend All Seasons and Fred will definitely be visiting them again! 👍
I cannot say enough good things about the whole team at All Seasons Dogs . I only have to say Donna's name to Luna and she bolts to the front door and fights to get out. The love and care you show the doggies is unparalleled and so evident in the photos you so kindly upload every evening. Thank you x
I cannot recommend Donna and her team enough, they are such lovely people and do such a brilliant job. Our dog absolutely loves her days there and she's grown in so much confidence. I have complete faith and trust in them and know they care for her and all the other doggies like they are their own. We were really struggling with separation anxiety issues and initial nerves when meeting other dogs and she's improved so so much it's lovely to see. Thank you so much for everything you do, I cannot speak highly enough of the service you provide!
A home from home for our two dogs. They are guaranteed to have fun when they go for the day or board overnight. A superb location offering a safe and stimulating environment for the dogs irrespective of the weather and ideally placed for country walks. We know that Donna and family will care for our dogs as if they were their own. We can’t recommend their services highly enough.
Amazing setup. My two Bernese puppies stayed with Donna and her family during the time me and my partner were away. It was a last minute booking and Donna couldn’t have been more helpful. She was willing to take them the next morning. Lovely people and they treat the dogs like they are part of the family! Couldn’t recommend All Season Dogs enough! Thanks again Donna!
The best dog hotel in the world. Our Eva sprints to get in there and lives every moment. She stays with the resident BMDs and is treated like one of the family. Then again, I think all the boarders are. I would say Eva prefers it there to home but she goes loopy when we arrive to collect her so she must love us really.
We got our beautiful Minnie around the beginning of lockdown but soon needed to have her looked after some days when we were both out at work. We were recommended to Donna and I called her. Minnie started there that week and has been going 2 to 3 days a week since. The place itself is amazing with so much room to run around safely and of course to shelter whilst still mixing with other dogs. It is important to know that the dogs are not locked in kennels or cages but allowed to roam around mixing together or sometimes (Minnie) sitting alone on the trampoline or sofa trying to look aloof! What is obvious to us is that Donna and family love the dogs and very much care for their welfare. We recently left Minnie there for 2 weeks while we went away and were wholly comfortable that she was being loved and cared for. We very much need to have her looked after during the week as do many other people including front line workers. I cannot imagine a place that is more secure, safe and loving as this to look after our little family members. We would be distraught if they were forced (totally unnecessarily) to close down and cannot fathom why this would be deemed necessary or justified. I for one would be prepared to do anything in my power to support Donna and family in their case and endeavours to keep All Seasons open and I urge others to commit to the cause for your dogs sake and theirs!
Superb! Took our Bernese Mountain Dog Lily there for an overnight stay and she had a fantastic time. Happy about the professionalism and knowledge. It was also a plus that they already own 3 Bernese so know the breed and could handle our dog (she is bigger than most dogs in most scenarios...). Would definitely recommend!
Would definitely use again! We have a a pet cat and a pet rat, however sadly our extended family had a little phobia of my rat so we had to look elsewhere for help so that I knew that he was being cared for/cleaned out and given a little fuss alongside my cat in our absence. They were so lovely and both the boys were automatically comfortable and at ease around Jacky, she sent me photos of them every time she came over and told me a little about how they were each day etc. Thank you again :)
Phil and Bev have worked tirelessly to ensure Petpals can continue. Our lovely lady, Lynda, absolutely adores dogs, and is totally committed to them. She has never ending patience with any dogs she looks after, and, for Tess, (our cocker spaniel), it’s like a home from home.
Petpals looked after our two cats at home for two weeks last summer. The whole process was very easy and friendly. The cats were very content when we got back. Much more chilled than they would have been in a cattery. As one of the cats is shy with new people she didn’t show her face for a few days but we got updates via WhatsApp and a photo when she did. Great service!
We've used Petpals for many years now to look after our 2 cats while away, for both long and short trips. Whichever person comes and attends to the cats has always been so kind and given them excellent care, keeping in touch when requested and leaving a thorough account for when we come back. I could not rate this company any higher - our cats are so much happier being able to stay home rather than going through a distressing experience of staying in a cattery.
An excellent service from a lovely company, offering reliability, trust and that personal touch. I would highly recommend to anyone.
We were very impressed with the professionalism and caring that was shown to our cat Bobby. Our cat is 17 years old and we found that it was much better to have Petpals ,rather than a cattery, come to our home twice a day. Bobby seemed very content after we returned from our short break and we will definitely use Petpals again as they gave us peace of mind.
Not great communication and found them to be quite dismissive. Won't be using sorry as had a bad experience from the get go.
Always ready to help. Otti lives them.
Brilliant service. Thanks to Phil, Tracey and Nicola
Fantastic service. Loving home and brilliant care. Marley and Bobby will definitely be visiting again :-)
Great service. Thank you for helping at short notice.
We contacted Essex Paw-Sitters Club after contacting almost the entirety of Essex. Our boy isn’t the calmest of dogs and gets himself in a pickle sometimes but they were absolutely amazing with him. I’m so glad we found you ❤️ My partner and I went away for the weekend with complete peace of mind knowing he would be well looked after and cared for. We also received updates throughout the stay which made us feel so comfortable knowing he was having the best time. Thank you again! 💫
Cannot recommend Jade and her fabulous company enough. She took such good care of our pup and treated him as her own. Jade is so knowledgeable and so we knew we could trust her in keeping him safe and happy. We will absolutely be using Essex Paw-Sitters again for overnight stays 🥰 …
It's so good to know that when you're away your dog they are totally looked after - so much so they don't want to leave Essex Paw Sitters Club! Jade knows dogs and what they want and need so it's a perfect solution for us knowing that our pooch is well and truly happy whilst we are away!
I have seen first hand what a caring, loving, fun environment your dog would be in. Can highly recommend Essex Paw Sitters.
Very friendly and helpful. Jade and family are always happy to do what they can even at sort notice.
An amazing place to send your pooch. I have no hesitation in recommending Executive Pets to anyone. Such care and attention given to our dogs.
I've used Executive Pet Care Services home visits service for my two indoor cats several times now, following our move to the area around 19 months ago. They are set up to harvest all the information they need about the animals they're asked to look after and I love receiving daily reports with photos of their visits to our house. It's great to be able to book 'stay and play' sessions and it's clear both my cats enjoy the visits and dedicated play time. I'll not hesitate to continue using their services in the future, especially knowing they are supplying DBS checked staff and that they cross their 't's' and dot their 'I's' so they are able to act in the event of an emergency that requires a vet in my absense.
I have recently had the pleasure of dealing with Executive Pet Care Services. I was caring for my sons dog Ralph , whilst he was on holiday. I wasn’t able to walk Ralph so my son contacted this company. I cannot speak highly enough of the service I received. Paul turned up on time every day, he even sent a text to let me know when he was on his way. Ralph was extremely happy under Paul’s care, and Paul was kind enough to forward me pictures every day showing me how Ralph was doing. Thank you for taking such good care of Ralph, I know he is going to miss you Paul. I wish you all the very best for the future and I will certainly be recommending your wonderful business to family and friends if they ever need help.Thanks again.
Our Miniature Schnauzer Rodney loves going to socialisation class and group walks with all his new friends! Anna and Genna are so professional and knowledgeable, and Rodney loves them, running out the door when they arrive. The attention to detail they go to sharing photos and sending a report every week is great, they really know his personality well. Our only regret is we didn't find them sooner!
Anna & Jenna are absolutely brilliant with my dog. When he knows his going out with them he gets so excited. They are very professional and are knowledgeable in what they do. They provide a great service and treat my fav as if he was there own. Can’t recommend them enough. 😀🦮
Anna and Genna have been so wonderful with my 2 rescue Labs, they were both anxious and wary from their previous life but now with socialisation and group walks they are much happier and confident. I cannot recommend enough.
Brilliant service, have our dog at least twice a week , always on time our dog is always so excited when it's time to go. Brilliant people very professional and good value for money.
The lovely ladies came and clipped Ralphs nails today. Thank you so much for your help 😊
Me and my dog had very good experience kind thoughtful and a great job all round
Reliable and friendly service, excellent rapport with owners as well as with pets. Highly recommended!!
Used this place for 2 years when I got a puppy as didn't want to leave her at home all day, absolutely brilliant. Jackie and Oli are so friendly and lovely, they make you and your pets feel welcomed. My girl was always happy to go here everytime because she was treated like one of theirs. If I hadn't moved halfway up the country, I would still be using them now. Safe, professional, and generally a great help to me. I would recommend to anyone.
Highly recommended. Professional and friendly. Our Cats were happy when we got home which is unusual, they don't usually like strangers coming to feed them but they loved Jacqui. Will use again definitely
Excellent care of our Springer Spaniel. Thoroughly recommend.
Thank you for looking after Teddy,will def use again.
Care as you would have in your own home
My dog loves it here
Great
Can’t fault the service I receive every time, always responsive to any questions and keeps me updated. Know I can always put complete trust into Lauren to look after my dog and he loves every visit! Wouldn’t go anywhere else! :)
A lovely home from home setting for your dog while you are are holiday. A large 1/3 garden for them to run around & play
Belle (My Labrador) loves it here dropped her she was groomed and well looked after during the day and overnight as well will highly recommend
