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.

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!
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 and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
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.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
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!
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!
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
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!
Kellie came for home visits to our two cats while we were on holiday. She is professional and lovely to deal with. She clearly loves animals and we had total peace of mind leaving them in her care. She sent lots of pictures and videos and the communication was excellent. I highly recommend the service.
Absolutely amazing. We have indoor cats, chicken, rabbits, mice and fish. Kelly knew exactly what she was doing and was very knowledgeable, professionally and friendly. Was such a relief to find someone local with her experience and training. Will happily get Kelly's help again in the future and would be 100% happy to recommend to friend and family. Honestly can't rate Kelly highly enough.
Brilliant service. Remained flexible with our booking due to COVID restrictions with travel. Lots of pics and communication during the boarding period. Everything anyone would want from a boarding service. Will definitely be using again!
Very friendly, very professional, we use Kellie for all of our pet care, highly recommended.
Feb service
Trusted pet carers is truly a good find, the service and care they offer is amazing. I used them when I went away for 2 weeks and when I came back off holiday I found my spaniels Tanya & Tamsin to be well fed and well cared for – not wanting to come home! They get spoilt with attention.
I have to admit I was very anxious leaving our needy and separation anxiety prone Tibetan Terrier who also suffers with digestives issues for 12 days having never boarded at at a kennel before especially because we were going to be out at sea for the duration but having researched thorough we went with Difford. Having picked her up today I could see they have taken excellent care of her and that she had a great time - communication with Pippa before and during was also very good - I would highly recommend this as a very well run outfit that clearly care and knows how to look after our furry friends and ensure they come back happy, clean, in good health and ready to fit back into their home lie without any upheavals.
A change in Job has introduced a lot of business travel, Difford was the 3rd Kennel I have tried, and have now used 5 times for anything from 3 days to 2 weeks away. On the first visit, my dog was scared on arrival when he saw it was a Kennel, but since then, he simply greets the staff and goes in, he seems very well looked after, is happy and each stay works great. I also find the cost fairly good. I can highly recommend this Kennel, Pippa and her staff are friendly and clearly very capable. Another positive is that the location is a good distance from a major center, which means firework sounds are not a problem. Highly recommended.
Great customer / kennel experience. Would recommend and will be using Difford for my future kennel needs.
Our dogs were looked after well here. They come home smelling nice not like your usual kennel smell. Pippa and her team are very welcoming & understanding about our dogs routine & medication. Will definitely use the kennels again. :)
I cannot recommend Pippa and her amazing team highly enough. My dog Colin who is a very bouncy Vizsla has been coming here since he was a puppy and no matter if he is staying for day boarding or for 16 nights he’s always happy to go in and comes home in great condition and very happy. The team kindly gives me updates whilst he is there but I never have to worry about him.
Thank you agsin fot very hsppy dogs this weekend. Total sulking all the way home!. I have boarded our three dogs for over eight years with Pippa and her excellent team. You could not ask for a kennels with more attention. intelligence and love for the animals they look after. An excellent place to ask them to stay. Thank you.
Excellent value and friendly service. The dog loves the place.
Louis has stayed with Pippa and the team a number of times. He and we have always been made very welcome. As an older dog with a couple of medical issues he has needed a little bit of extra care and attention and we have been incredibly impressed with how well Louis has been on his return home. When we come to collect him he is obviously very happy in the company of the staff who are genuinely warm towards him and know him as an individual. He always comes home smelling 'fresh as a daisy'. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Diffords
Not so sure my cat enjoyed his stay but I know he was safe and very well cared for
Our dog millie became poorly while in the kennels with IBS most probably due to the stress of us leaving her. Pipa told us about the problem and asked us if she should take her to the vets we agreed best to get her checked out millie was only there for 2 day's and the attention she got was fantastic. Pipa phoned us several times to update us and to reassure us she was OK 5 STAR care thank you.
As first time pet and home owners, we were nervous about leaving both for Christmas but finding Jen and employing her services to look after our cat set our minds at ease. Jen is very easy to get along with, super friendly, flexible with timings and was instant friends with our cat Bonnie. We loved her daily updates and pictures with each visit and we would definitely use her services again. We would recommend her to anyone worried about leaving their pet at home; they will be well taken care of. Thank you Jen!
We have used Jen’s services on a number of occasions to look after our two cats, she has always been amazing which gives such peace of mind when we are away. Our kids also love getting to see the cats in the daily update photos from Jen… we would highly recommend Adore Pets!
Simply cannot recommend enough! My baby Titan loves Jen, and she even shuffled around timings so she could get to him a touch earlier, so his bathroom breaks lined up. I can go to work happy, knowing he will be lovingly looked after, for his lunchtime walks :)
So glad we found Jen as we can go away knowing our 2 cats are happy, safe and well looked after at home. She sends photo''s and videos which puts our daughters mind at rest when she misses them and we always come back to find all the mail picked up, the house secure and as we left it. She even extended one booking at short notice when we got the opportunity to extend our break by few extra days. Xx
Jen looked after my indoor bunnies, Molly and Boss while I was on holiday. I didn’t want to put them in a boarding facility, I wanted them to be cared for in their home. I hadn’t been on holiday because I didn’t want to leave them so I finally took the plunge and booked one and I found Adore Pets on line. I was very apprehensive about leaving them but after Jen took great care of them and sent me updates everyday, I am confident to go away on holiday again. Jen did a pre visit before I went away and she listened to how I wanted them taken care of. She did a fantastic job and I returned to my very happy bunnies. I would definitely recommend. Thanks so much Jen x
Jen is lovely and was great visiting my cat, to keep food and water topped up, and making a fuss of him while I was away for a couple of days. It was reassuring to know he was in safe hands after recently recovering from an op. Jen sent photos and updates too, I would definitely recommend her.
Jen has been looking after our 2 ragdoll cats for a few years now whilst we’re away. She’s brilliant and we wouldn’t use anyone else - our two babies are so well looked after in her care and we always look forward to her updates whilst away! ☺️
Jen has looked after our two bulldogs for almost a year now, she pops in Monday to Friday to let them out while we are at work. She plays with them and sends us daily updates to let us know how they are which puts both of our mind at ease. She is polite and professional and so lovely. I would HIGHLY recommend Jen to anyone looking for pet sitting services. You can tell how much she loves her job and the pets she looks after. She treats them all like they are her own. She is now part of our family and we are incredible lucky to have her looking after Marnie and Beau.
Thought I would just update my review of Jen and Adore Pets. We have lived in Andover for a couple of years now and use Jen every time we go away. The cats are still nervous but they come out for her and it is lovely that she sends the pictures so you can relax whilst away from your fur babies 😊. A very big 👍 …
Jen is lovely and was so great with my nervous cat! She sent me updates and pictures after visits which made me feel so much more at ease whilst I was away. Will 100% be using Adore pets again when we go away.
We have entrusted our beloved Jazz to Sam many times when we have been away and needed someone to care for her. We have never used a boarding kennels and wanted to find someone who would love Jazz as much as us and treat her as one of their own - and that was certainly Sam. Jazz has been welcomed into Sam's home and treated to wonderful daily walks with her own pooches and those that have been boarding or cared for at the same time. Sam is attentive to Jazz's needs, ensuring that she has been completely comfortable and safe and also reassured us throughout our absence by sending us regular photos, videos and updates. I would have absolutely zero hesitation in recommending Sam and her Home Boarding for Dogs. Believe me, your fur baby could not be in better hands.
Polly always enjoys her holidays with Sam - a real home from home experience. Lovely walks, treats and doggy friends. Sam is highly experienced and I trust her implicitly.
I collected my dog Jess from Sam today and was worried she wouldn't want to come home!! Jess spent the whole weekend being thoroughly spoiled and completely at ease with Sam and her 'family'. Sam sent me lots of pictures of Jess having a great time! I would definitely take Jess to Sam in the future as I know she will be well looked after.
Sam takes great care of our dog when he stays. Don't think he actually wants to leave!
Thank you
We cannot thank Laura and co enough for the great care they gave our dog so that we could enjoy a week away. We were kept up to date with pictures throughout the week and it was clear our darling dog was treated like one of their own. If you’re trying to find the right company to care for your dog, Trendy Dog Hotel is the place for you.
Great service i worked on the property doing the roof and fascia renavations and these dogs are treat like familly members and are very very happy dogs . Lovely people you woulding find anywhere better to leave your beloved pet
My Best Friend Dog Care in Andover, led by Danielle, offers truly exceptional service. Our working lab can sometimes be a handful, but Danielle cares for her wonderfully, ensuring all her needs are fully met. Danielle is fantastic with the dogs, maintains excellent control, and takes them on diverse and enriching walks using a well-equipped, dedicated dog van. These outings always leave our dog content and fulfilled. Additionally, the booking and payment systems are professional, user-friendly, and efficient. Highly recommended!
Our dog Domino is a very lively working cocker. He gets extremely excited every time he goes to mybestfriend in Andover for a stay as he has such a wonderful time playing with the other dogs. We use Danielle for all our boarding and are very happy to continue the relationship.
Danielle fitted us in at short notice and took really good care of our 7 month old puppy. He can be quite shy but we felt comfortable leaving him with Danielle and Graham and he had a great day playing with the other dogs. Thank you!
Absolutely lovely people and a pleasure to deal with! The service provided is very reasonably priced. I always feel confident leaving our young dog with Danielle and he is always so happy to go there. What a great find for us!
I’m so relieved and happy to find someone so reliable to walk my dog! My dog is so excited to greet Danielle when she picks her up for a dog walk and so calm and content when she returns home! ❤️
Was like dropping off my little baby off at first day at school, so was a little nervous. I had no need to be!!! I was updated with photos, showing all the fun he was having and new friends made. He came back VERY tired and happy!! 5 star service, will defo be using again!!!
Danielle made my dog feel at home and I felt confident that she was well looked after.
Amazing dog care my dog loves it and is always well well looked after they love dogs and it shows I would recommend them the service they provide is fantastic my dog is not small and full af beans and they do a fabulous job looking after him thank you from Henry and me
