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.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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!
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.
Booked Jen to look after our dog and cat for a night in April. She is great, sent us updates along with pictures. Felt really comfortable leaving her to look after our fur babies and house. Already booked her again, she is now my go to pet sitter!!
