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.
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.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
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.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
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. ⭐
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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!
Andrea has been house sitting and looking after my 2 pups for holidays for a couple of years . They now go to her house and they clearly love going. They are spoilt rotten, have the best walks and full run of the massive garden there. Andrea sends me photos and videos every day meaning I can relax knowing they are happy and chilled. ( see below 😊) I wouldn’t send them anywhere else now so book my holidays around her availability.
Andrea is amazing with Sonny, he is shattered after every day out walking with her - in the very best happy dog way! She sends so many videos of him having an absolute blast with his doggy friends. Different locations to mix it up for every dog, her routes are so thoughtful and varied for the dogs to experience seaside/forest/marshland and a really good life while I'm stuck at work basically!! Plenty of enrichment both outside and inside. Great to be able to board Sonny whether for one night or longer I know he is in great hands with Andrea. Can't recommend enough for both dog walking and boarding. Sonny loves his sleepovers with his little bff Vinnie. Reading his note like a report card about his day and the adventures they had brings me so much joy! Andrea is amazing to look after Sonny, and in Carlisle, I wouldn't board him with anyone else - like others have said, I book holidays around her availability.
Amazing service and care. Absolutely brilliant. Andrea is so caring and understanding as I was nervous of leaving my dog somewhere new. She sent regular photos and videos with updates which was reassuring. My dog was so well looked after and would definitely use their service again.
Andrea was recommended to me by my previous Dog Walker. Professional and caring right from the start Andrea came and met him and I’ve never looked back. Rio loves his walks with her 4 days a week and the peace of mind knowing he is so well looked after is priceless. Love reading the notes from Andrea after their walks of where they have visited and the videos are such fun to see Rio enjoying time with his doggy friends. Thank you for taking such good care of Rio 🤎🐾 xx
Andrea is a life saver ! And our dogs love their time out with her and the other dogs. It’s great that our dogs can have fun socialising with other dogs and get plenty of exercise. Andrea understands the varying characters and needs and is always prompt and gives us updates and photos on every occasion. Even on the wettest days Andrea is always there with a smile and a bundle of energy. We totally trust her with our dogs and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Andrea looks after our cat, Raven, when we are away and to know she is being cared for (so brilliantly) in her own home is a god send to us. Andrea is friendly, kind, caring and trustworthy, she is a true gem. I’d highly recommend
My two whippets stayed with Andrea for over a week,visited her the week before,she was lovely with them,so was Mark her husband,on the day I dropped them off,all very smooth,all my questions were answered,her house is very dog friendly and the garden is lovely and big,all through the holiday I was sent videos,really put my mind at ease,all the paperwork was done online,Andrea is extremely organised with everything,I wouldn’t go anywhere else now,walked every day,I would trust her with my girls 100%, they settled in really quickly and were given lots of cuddles throughout,cannot recommend her enough
Where do I start with my five star review. Andrea is the most reliable, friendly , passionate and affectionate pet sitter I have ever met in my life. She cares so much for my doggies and always has a can do attitude. I leave and I feel very comfortable that Andrea will take care of the household and doggies. Do not hesitate to book any services. Extremely recommended. Thank you ☺️
Andrea is great with the dogs and they love us going away so that they can have Andrea look after them, taking them for long walks on the beach. Would highly recommend.
Andrea has taken care of our cat for the past 7 months and she takes great care of him. She sends us pictures, our cat trusts her, and she leaves the house in a great state. Would not use anyone else.
