This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
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.
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!
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
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.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Hope and Julian were great sitters for our cat. They are easygoing and communicate in a timely manner. Our cat seemed very happy and our home was clean and in great shape upon our return. It was great having Julian and Hope here and we highly recommend them for any sit. Great people!
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.
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!
Kim is wonderful with our dog and others. Very caring thoughtful. Always tries to help walk or overnight stays
Kim is a very caring person and her love for animals shows in her work with them...I recommend Hope's Happy Hounds definately 5 star treatment for your four legged children xx
Kim from Hopes Happy Hounds New Forest is the best Her professional approach to dog walking and pet care is truly amazing. I would never use anyone else!
Kim is the most caring person and loves all animals as if they were her own!
If you are looking for a kind and caring space for your dog to stay, Jo and her family are brilliant. The house is perfectly setup for a fun play time whatever the weather. They are such lovely people, I had no hesitation leaving our dog with them 👍 …
Our little dog loves it here. ❤️ Jo is fabulous.
Fabulous home from home care for our lovely dogs.
Thank you for taking great care of our cats last minute whilst we were away. Both cats were very happy when we returned. Will definitely choose Sophie’s Petcare in the future.
I was delayed by a day in Florence because of an accident but I texted Sophie’s and Adam responded immediately. They stepped up like troupers and continued to feed my cat without drama or fuss. In a world of ‘don’t care companies’ Sophie’s are faultless. Thank you for all your care and attention and the photograph of Daisy while I was away.
We have been using Sophies Pet Care since August for our 2 dogs, Scooby and Bentley. We do a lot of the dog walking but they do 3 walks a week and both dogs love it. It has helped with them getting used to other dogs again. The team at Sophies are simply the best and nothing is too much trouble. Really impressed by what they do and how they do it - thank you!
If you are looking for an amazing pet sitting service, look no further than Sophie's Pet Care. I cannot recommend them more highly. They are extremely professional with a very good team of nannies working for them. I have used them for quite a few years now and both my dogs absolutely love going to stay with them and their nannies. It is a home from home experience for them and therefore I can relax and not have to worry about them. Sophie takes on board all their traits, likes and dislikes so they are looked after the same as I would look after them. Their on line booking in system is very user friendly and makes booking so easy. I totally recommend Sophies Pet Care and so do my dogs!!!
We have recently been having our young boy Lab (20 months) walked with Sophie's Pet Care 3 times a week. He thoroughly enjoys the forest walks and, as he is being walked with other dogs, it has really helped with his dog socialisation.
Thank you ever so much for taking such good care of our cats and guinea pig. We have been away and we're always nervous of leaving them in a cattery, but Sophie's Pet Care came twice a day, in the comfort of our fur babies own home. They kept us updated and the utility room was lovely and clean when we got home. Thank you, will definitely use again. Lots of love from Loki, Leonardo, Alfonso and Cloud :)
Other reviews seem favourable hence why we chose Sophies to look after our cat and fish while we were away. Wish we hadn't bothered now as we ended up over £600 out of pocket. Could not manage to empty a litter tray correctly just removing the solids and tops of clumped litter meaning the entire bottom layer of litter was solid. This resulted in her refusing to use the tray and peed on our bed instead. Depite trying to get it cleaned and using enzyme cleaners the mattress could not be saved and had to be replaced at a cost of over £600. The scoop was right next to the tray, no attempt was made to contact us (we were in the UK and both mobile numbers were provided). I know the response from the owners will cite "stress" but I strongly refute this - she has never peed anywhere but the tray in her 7 years even when we had new central heating replaced by several plumbers, storms, fireworks etc etc. Yes, we were given a refund for the £65 we paid out but that didn't even cover the cost of trying to save the mattress. Overall the service was a huge disappointment and an expensive lesson. Might I suggest you stick to walking dogs?
Sophie's Pet Care have been so helpful over the last couple of years since I have been using them for dog walks. They always manage to fit us in when I need help at the last minute. The best thing is that my dog absolutely loves his walks, the other dogs and all of the rangers! I couldn't be without Sophie's so THANK YOU!
We have now used Sophie's Pet Care for a couple of years...we have always experienced a friendly and professional service - never has there been anything other than this which has made us, and our Cockerpoo, very happy. Whether it be a mid-day walk whilst we're out working, or a holiday whilst we're away, the team are so friendly, trustworthy and reliable we know our dog is nothing but looked after. I wouldn't look anywhere else - thanks Adam and Sophie!
We were very much impressed with Sophie's Cats. They mix efficiency with understanding of and fondness for cats. We returned after 10 days away to find the place clean and tidy, and two well groomed and happy cats. Use this firm : You won't get better.
We couldn’t be happier that we found Charlotte to look after our Labrador. He has great adventures with his friends roaming the forest and comes home happy and exhausted. Charlotte uses positive training methods, communicates really well and promptly, and we get photos of our boy regularly. He is always very happy to see her- giving a good sniff each day. Would recommend Charlotte without hesitation- it feels like she is part of our dogs family.
Homers Hounds (Charlotte ) helped me out initially while I was recovering from a knee replacement .Lark (my Labrador) was extremely happy to be walked by Charlotte who is reliable ,extremely professional ,very fair and kind ....and takes her for a good hour at a time . Lark waits by the window on her dog walk days . Charlotte is very prudent as to which dogs she will walk together . She does not take many dogs at a time and has done some one to one walks for ourselves. Since my operation I have continued to use Charlotte twice a week and will do in the future . Charlotte's feedback is honest on my dogs behaviour on her walks and will give training where needed . She is knowledgeable and can offer helpful advice when asked . I would recommend her to anyone . Linda Dearing
We used Charlotte at Homers hounds whilst on a mini break when we went out for the day and couldn't take the dog. Charlotte couldn't have put us more at ease. She made the logistics really easy and has a real trustworthy, honest and loving nature about her. Charlotte kept us updated throughout the day and sent us pictures of our fur baby; it was clear our girl was having a lovely day on her adventures. I would highly recommend using Charlotte and will be in touch for any future sessions.
Charlotte at Homer's Hounds looked after our 2 year old golden retriever whilst we actually got married! Timber has never been looked after by anyone else due to being a lockdown pup and Charlotte couldn't have put us more at ease. We were able to enjoy our wedding day knowing he was in the best hands. Charlotte was so accommodating and also brought him to our wedding venue for photographs. When we picked him up he didn't even want to leave hers, which shows just how much he loved spending time with her. If we ever need him looking after again, whether it be for a few hours, day or two, or week, we will not hesitate to book him in with Homer's Hounds. Thank you so much Charlotte!
We are so happy that Charlotte cares for our dog. He is always so happy to see her and he comes home content and well looked after. You can tell that Charlotte really makes the effort to get to know the individual needs of the dog. Charlotte is the one person we trust to have our dog and he always has the best time with her. We can’t thank her enough!
Charlotte is very dedicated to providing the dogs in her care absolutely everything they need. She is observant of body language, and ensures that not just their physical needs are met but also their mental needs too. I recommend her to any of my clients looking for a dog walker or pet sitter, and would trust her with my own dog (which is rare for me!) highly recommend 🌟
Charlotte has been walking my dog Rufus for a long time now. She is such a wonderful caring and gentle person and Rufus clearly adores her. She is trustworthy, dependable and always looks after him with the upmost care.. We are lucky to have found her.
Highly recommend Charlotte at Homers Hounds. My spaniel has so much fun exploring the forest with her friends. We get regular pup dates which I always look forward to. I have full confidence in Charlotte and know my dog will always be well looked after and look forward to her walk!
Charlotte is super lovely and would take very good care of your little puppy!! Reliable and kind! Great dog walking!
Our cockapoo Charlie has stayed with Jamie 3 times now and he has such a good time. She looks after the dogs as if they are her own and is very knowledgable. Jamie has extensive grounds for the dogs to enjoy and Charlie is always looking fit, healthy and loved when he returns.
Our goldendoodle Honey loves going to stay with Jamie for her holidays and cant wait to get out of the car when we arrive . Jamie is so professional and kind to the dogs. There is so much space for Honey to run around and she gets very long walks. We would never consider leaving her anywhere else. Thank you Jamie for being there for Honey.
Jamie is fabulous, very caring, kind, knowledgeable and professional. Jamie provides a wonderful home and environment to all her guests and our cockapoo always enjoys her stays and fellow companions. She comes home very content and happy to go straight to bed after a fun filled day! We highly recommended Barkers Dog Care & Home Boarding.
Barkers Home Boarding has provided an absolutely outstanding service for our spaniel Lottie over the past three years. Lottie loves being with Jamie and always enjoys her holidays there, she seems reluctant to leave again. Jamie is outstanding and totally reliable and is a real testament to her business. If I was a dog, I would check myself in !
A truly wonderful place to board your dog in such a beautiful private setting and safe, secure surroundings. Our dogs absolutely love it, they howl with excitement as we turn into the lane leading to Barkers, they leap out of the car and don’t look back! They completely adore Jamie and her wonderful walks, she is totally professional, so kind and capable and we feel a huge relief knowing that they’re in her competent hands whilst we’re away. We’ve found nowhere else comparable and would recommend Barkers without hesitation.
Archie's been going to Barkers twice a week for day care and regular sleep over's for 5 years now and he loves it! There's not even a backward glance when we drop him off. He's grown into a sociable obedient good boy and that's largely thanks to Jamie who is amazing. We can't thank Jamie enough for giving us piece of mind and our boy such fantastic and fun adventures, and tiring him out too! We'd thoroughly recommend Jamie and Barkers - she'll look after your good boy or girl like they're her own.
Barkers is the best dog care we have ever used. Jamie has provided a place for our Springer Spaniel on numerous occasions and each visit has been extremely positive. Our springer literally bounces out of the car when we arrive and quickly settles in. The care provided is exceptional and we would highly recommend Barkers for either day or boarding. It is home away from home for dogs.
Can't recommend Barkers enough! Our cockapoo, Arlo, loves Jamie and is so excited to see her and arrive at her house. She is so lovely and fantastic with dogs and we feel very happy knowing he is being looked after so well whilst we’re away. Thanks Jamie!
Jamie provides a loving, fun & safe environment for our dog Wilbur. He loves staying with her and runs in to her without a backwards glance. It's such a relief to know that's he's living his best life while we're away.
I can’t praise Jamie highly enough. She is so reliable and has helped us out so many times. Bret and Tasha absolutely love staying with her, I think they may prefer her actually! She always keeps in contact and we love the photos she sends when we are away and she is looking after the pups for us. Thank you again Jamie!
We had Poppy’s look after our lab mix for a couple of weekends whilst we were out of town. He came home happy so we would recommend this place if you are looking for short weekend kennelling for your dog.
When we visited the enclosure some months ago it was tatty and uncared for, even dangerous eg a broken patio chair that could have caused you to fall backwards if you had sat on it, lots of weeds in a rowing boat that was supposed to be a flower bed. There were balls of fluff from a tumble drier in a shed off the side of the paddock that our dog might have eaten and some other rubbish lying around on the grass. There was a multi-level structure that the dog could climb up which reached about head height. When our dog was at the top I was horrified that he then jumped off sideways rather then follow the boards safely down and he could have done a lot of damage to himself with such a huge jump. We didn't feel comfortable because there was a man in a nearby caravan who could watch us. Then we discovered broken glass in the middle of the field and we wanted to leave immediately but felt intimidated by the man, so stayed another five minutes then we were out of there and will never return. It was reported to NFDC with photographs.
We had a trip to New forest and wanted a day out were we could take our little pocket rocket with us. Booked him and felt completely comfortable on arrival seeing the other pooches getting on so well 😊🐶 he had a great day and was exhausted through all the play. Would 100 percent use them again and can't recommend enough! Many thanks me and Boris 😊🐶
Used the secure enclosure a little while ago. There were a bunch of half eaten balls that our dog tried to scoff, aswell as a lady in the house next door going absolutely ballistic at a dog (I really hope that's not where the boarding is...). Won't be back.
Amazing service! We're here on holiday, and Jayne was able to take my pups at short notice, and to accomodate their different and special needs. Great communication, caring and reliable, very happy to recommend! Thanks Jayne! X
Great experience, dogs loved being there. They also loved the chicken treats Jane is now making.
Great facilities, kind and friendly staff, superb location, dogs love it!!!
An amazing experience! one which we look forward to revisiting.
