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.

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
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!
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
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!
My Alaskan malamute Wolfie had been going to Doms for quite a few years now with regular photos and updates of how he was getting on Whilst on holiday, with no warning at all, we would never have gone away, Wolfie took ill. Dom rushed wolfie to his vet. Wolfie was diagnosed with severe gastro problems, internal bleeding and kidney failure. It was a shock to us all. Dom kept me informed all the way. Dom's son Marcus, later took Wolfie to my vets to stay overnight, their vets are not an animal hospital, to continue care. We tried to get flights home for 2 days to be with Wolfie, no joy, it was agony. The next day 29/10/2024, in the presence of my daughter, her boyfriend a friend of mine myself on face time talking/seeing him, he was put to sleep. As you can imagine we are all devastated. I needed to let everyone who look at reviews to check about Lower Shelton Dogs....this is how Dom and his son go above and beyond,,,DONT, send your dogs anywhere else. Wolfie loved going and loved being there with Dom and Marcus. They love/loved him too Thank you so much for what you have done,, we are eternally grateful 🙏 If, it's a big if, I ever have another dog, Dom he will come to you. Vicky
Second stay this week for our dog and once again was not disappointed. I feel so happy leaving her with Dominic as I know she is being taken good care of. We get regular updates to put our mind at rest and she really has had her own little holiday of her own. I really couldn't trust anyone else with her. She is very much looking forward to her next holiday with Dominic again soon. Thank you to Dominic and your team for loving her like one of your own 💚
My Dog Bella who is almost 6 years old attends at Shelton Dogs and this is like her home, she is so settled, happy, loved and cared for by the owners, Dominic, Carmen and Marcus she adores so very much. She loves mixing and playing with all the other dogs that also stay during her visits, and she loves her walks and feed times to, I would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone. Five Star rating for Staff and First Class Service Always xx
9/3/24 Just picked up our little girl from Doms after her 2 week holiday, a happy hound, loved her time again with the guys.... Shelton dogs are the best, don't take your best friend anywhere else. Thank you for love and care
My dog loves going to Shelton Dogs for his holidays. I feel it's definitely value for money - great interaction with other dogs and a piece of mind if you are going on holiday
This a great place to leave your dog while you are away. Dominic took good care of our dog and sends you pictures of him.
Our cairn terrier Tara always loves her holidays with Dominic and his lovely family. It really is home from home and all of the dogs are treated with great affection. Tara is always delighted to be visiting and we feel happy that she is safe, secure and having great fun. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
For a couple of years now our dogs have gone to stay with Dom at Shelton Digs when we’ve been away and they love it! They’re happy and healthy when they come home and most importantly, they’re very happy when they go back. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Can’t recommend Shelton Dogs enough! Reggie spends 3 days a week there & has just gone for his first overnight stay whilst we are on holiday. It’s lovely not to have to worry & know your dog is having a great time in the best place. Somewhere where they love him as much as we do, just not sure that Reggie doesn’t love Dom, Carmen & Marcus more than he loves us! 😂
My puppy is my shadow so I was nervous about leaving her anywhere over night. I needn't have been. She had a wonderful time and was happy to see me but not over excited, just content!
We have used Bark and Bounce for over 3 years and we can not fault the service we get. Our dog is extremely happy and is obviously cared for by the walkers. The communication is always good and they are extremely adaptable. Brilliant service
Karen is amazing with our cat Bodie; he loves her visits. She is reliable, professional and always sends us regular updates and photos. We'd highly recommend her!
We have been using Karen now for over 18 months and find her VERY reliable and goes the extra mile to keep our dog Dasie happy and contented, we would be lost without her, and we were so lucky to find her and would be lost without her services. A credit to her profession.......... Mr and Mrs Tovey Flitwick
Karen has been walking my Staffy for 3 years now and I couldn't ask for more. She's professional, reliable and treats my dog like he was her own.
Karen is a star! Really reliable, genuinely caring and we feel safe and confident leaving our cat in her capable hands.
Karen was so helpful and really lovely. So grateful that she helped look after our cats.
Fullers ark -Gary Fuller was extremely helpful today, he picked me & Roxy my dog up from home and took us to the vets, then also waited for us and took us home. Thank you so much for everything I really appreciated it
I have a kitten (9 months old) named Milo. Milo is REALLY timid, to the extent of being literally scared of his own shadow! Bless him. Milo went to the vet's in his own 'taxi' and was brought back safely after his surgery. I would DEFINITELY recommend, and use, Fullersark again without hesitation - a BRILLIANT service. Thank you sooooo very much Fullersark x
We arranged cat feeding by Ruth for a few days and it all turned out really well and is quite economical. We will be using her services whenever we are away and our neighbours can't do it.
I would like to highly recommend Fuller's Ark!!! My partner and I went away for a week and Ruth looked our 2 pet rats! We agreed on a once a day home visit and couldn't have been happier with the service that was delivered. Very professional and discreet. We will be definitely use Fuller's Ark again :)
We have used Fullers Ark several times and we are very happy. Ruth is amazing looking after our cat Mabel. We feel great leaving Mabel and home in their hands and are able to have a break and holidays knowing both are safe. What a discovery. Thank you x
We recently went on holiday and used Fullers Ark as a service to look after our cat with home visits. Ruth came to meet us and CoCo beforehand and she is a very lovely lady who clearly loves animals. Coco took to Ruth immediately. Coco was very happy on our return and had clearly been well looked after. We will be using Fullers Ark in the future and I highly recommend their services.
This review is long overdue... Gary and Ruth looked after our rescue cat, Blue, for 3 weeks last summer. He's a nervous cat and always runs and hides when we have friends and family visiting. We didn't have him when we booked the holiday, and were a little anxious about leaving him alone for such a long time. We needn't have been... Ruth visited twice a day. She kept us regularly informed on WhatsApp about how he was doing. Yes, he's eating enough. No, he isn't making a mess. Doesn't seem anxious or worried etc. And most amazingly, after one week of visiting and looking after him, she managed to get him to sit with her and be brushed! This is a big deal... Some members of my family have never even seen him, never mind be allowed to touch him! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this service to other pet owners. Ruth and Gary are fantastic with animals; and are lovely, friendly people too! Thanks for reading.
Fuller's Ark are wonderful, and so affordable too. My two dogs love Ruth. When I come back they are always so relaxed and happy.
I have 2 free roaming house bunnies and was very nervous about leaving them with pet sitters. Previously my daughter helped out but couldn't any more. I am very happy with how Ruth cared for them & my home. I can 100% recommend.
Gary and Ruth are wonderful, caring pet sitters who have looked after our German Shepherd for years. They really have been a huge help and we always came home to a very happy dog.
Recently went away for a week. Catteries were all booked up. Decided to try a cat sitting service and Sharna was absolutely 1st class. Will 100% be using again in future and recommending. My cat is normally very wary of people but the daily video updates on my phone of my cat happily playing and purring were very reassuring. Thank you Sharna
Sharna was looking after our chicks and she did an amazing job! She always sent us photos and videos and did take care of them so well. I highly recommend her service.
Sharna looked after our animals, whilst we were on holiday. She communicated with us throughout and kept us up to date with how our animals were doing. It gave us great piece of mind that our animals were well looked after and we could enjoy our holiday, safe in the knowledge that they were happy. We even looked forward to her update, as we of course missed our furry family members, while we were away. Sharna is amazing with the animals and we thoroughly recommend her services!
Sharna looked after my 2 cats with a lot of love and care ! I received photos and videos which reassured me they were doing well. I would definitely recommend her.
Incredibly happy with Sharna's pet service! I was very anxious about leaving my dog for 6 days with a sitter but I had nothing to worry about! Sharna's helper Micah was amazing, my dog Yuna quickly warmed up to them and settled down way faster than I thought. I received photo and video updates and could tell Yuna was in great hands. I thought Yuna would be anxious when I came back but she was actually very relaxed, Micah was definitely amazing I don't think my dog even missed me! Really looking forward to using Sharna's pet service again!
Sharna looked after my two cats for the first time. Every day I received photos, videos of my babies. I felt so relieved knowing they are well looked after. Sharna is very kind, friendly and good with animals. I can highly recommend her service.
A bit of a back story for my review! Sharna has been amazing with my cat Clive, she took time to get to know him and noted everything down when meeting him. She did not even sit on the sofa when I offered, she went to sit with Clive on the floor and he was all over her. Clive can be very sweet at times but most of the time he will attack me if he thinks I was giving him a funny look. He was banned from the bedroom as he has a taste for human flesh and will sit upright next to my face and stare at me all night drooling and a few times tried to take a chunk from my face (he was left alone with his previous owner who sadly passed away and unfortunately ran out of food before anyone found him...) yes! There was no absolute confirmation that he did or did not, only an awkward silence when I asked the rescue centre after his attempts of face eatings.... Sharna was brilliant with him and he loved her, she would send videos and updates and you can see Clive may have fallen for her. Sharna is very reasonably priced especially for what you get. I could tell Sharna absolutely adored Clive and he had a twinkle in his eyes as if he was 5 years younger and suddenly acting all cute and nice with her. I asked Sharna to pop over during awkward hours (sometimes very early) and she is completely accommodating. Sharna has very good communication and always gets back to me very promptly. I am glad that I can enjoy my holibobs without worrying about Clive (although I was more worried for Sharna) but she survived. I am not at all jealous of the relationship Sharna has with Clive.... Not at all, even though I am his sole provider and his rescuer. Not at all jealous nor bitter.... Thank you Sharna for being my go to sitter and someone I trust to see to Clive. I can see that Sharna absolutely adores animals and that it is what she enjoys and it is not just a "job" for her.
Sharna helped to look after my kitten while we went away for a long weekend. She made us feel very relaxed that our cat was looked after and her communication was great. She sent lots of photos, great updates and was very detail oriented. Definitely highly recommend! Really happy I found someone I can trust ♥️ big Thank you Sharna! 😊 …
We are really pleased with the great care and attention Sharna has given to our dog when sitting with him. This has enabled us to go for some days out where it's not possible to take our dog along - knowing he's in safe hands and being so well cared for has been excellent. Above all Sharna is a such a lovely person who's easy for pets and their people to connect with - totally recommend her pet services! :-)
Absolutely amazing. I was very apprehensive about leaving Boo and Bear with a pet sitter but after meeting Sharna I felt so relieved that I had made the right choice. She stayed at home with them overnight and I got regular update in the form of pictures and videos. She was so attentive and caring that both Boo and Bear became great friends with her. I will definitely book Sharna again without a doubt ♥️
