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.

Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
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!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
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!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
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!
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
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!
Walks 7 dogs at a time totally out of control
Fabulous personal visiting sitting service! Currently on my second cat cared for by Tatiana while we are away with no worry or stress. It’s not just a visit to feed and scoop the litter tray but time spent with your pet and interaction in line with their preferences. The regular updates let me know my boy is OK while we are gone. The price is great for the service you get. I trust Tatiana with my boy and in my home without hesitation!
This lovely lady looks after our lovely cat every time we go away. She advises us, gives her plenty of time and attention etc When we return everything is all tide and most importantly our little cat is happy as Larry and not at all bothered that we’ve been away. Will always continue to us!
I highly recommend Tatiana. She has an obvious love of dogs and is well versed in their behaviour. Our bouncy Lab took to her straight away and not only did his behaviour improve but so did ours following some training advice from Tatiana - so you can teach old dogs new tricks! She is so well organised, punctual, and gives a great service, which we will be using again. We have now used Tatiana three times and will continue to do so. She provides such an excellent service.
Finding the right pet sitter is difficult. Not only do you need to trust them with your beloved pets, but you also need to have trust letting them into your home when you are not around. After reaching out to Tatiana via e-mail, she was quick to respond and provide several alternatives of when she could come and meet with us and our dog Oscar. It's immediately obvious how much she loves animals. She gave him the right amount of attention, but still focussed on going through the process and paper work with us. I felt confident that she would treat him like she would her own dog. Tatiana walked our dog every day this week. She provided text updates after each walk, with valuable information, and confirmation that all was OK. We will be using her service again already next week! Thanks Tatiana, I know you and Oscar will be seeing each other regularly!
Highly experienced, completely reliable and totally professional services provided; ranging from dog walking, feeding, vet visits, etc. Equally importantly is having a high level of trust as you are allowing someone into your home when you're not around. Diesel Dog and I can highly recommend Tatiana to anyone needing support to look after their pets at very reasonable rates. Diesel goes bananas when Tatiana arrives to take him out; I'm slightly envious of his love and affection for her :)
Peggy our Bedlington Terrier loves going out with Tatiana several times per week and loves spending times with other dogs on the walk. Peggy started with Tatiana when she was a puppy and it was really helpful that she grew up being able to socialise with other dogs. We get frequent photos and video clips and can clearly see our dog is safe and happy and getting a good run around with Huggles Pet Care
Highly recommend If my dogs could talk, they would tell you what a fantastic dog walker Tatiana is we get so excited when she turns up, we are both big dogs with a lot energy but that doesn't matter to Tatiana. Highly professional dog walker, with great communication which makes for a worry free experience. The dogs took to her straight away and are definitely going to miss her until the next time we use her services Thank you very much Steel, Silver and the Lewis family
Friendly, reliable and flexible. Clearly cares about her furry clients. And they certainly care about her: our dog reserves his most excitable barks - and highest jumps against the front door - for Tatiana. Highly recommend.
Tatiana has taken our dog Bobbi for regular walks over the past few weeks to help us out. She is an excellent dog handler and I have learned a lot from her. Bobbi adores her and enjoys his time with her. She is very calm and easily controls a dominant dog who does not like to walk on a lead. I have relied on her and she has not let me down. Thanks you Tatiana......until next time !!!
Tatiana is an excellent dog walker. Our dog, Alfie, is now happy going on walks with other dogs which is all down to the time and effort Tatiana has put in!
Lynne and the team provide an excellent service, the dogs clearly enjoy the experience as seen in the pupdates which are sent on request (being sensible of course with the times of requests). They are dog owners and are very responsible. Only issue is very popular and you need to get you booking in early. Strongly recommend.
Lynne is very friendly and has been great with our Cockapoo Nellie. We can relax knowing that she is safe and being well cared for. Nellie has lots of fun with her new doggy friends - Thank you
Lynne and staff nothing to much trouble we have been leaving our little yorkie there for about 8 years won't leave her anywhere else as she is well looked after
This is the most amazing doggie day care I have found can’t praise them enough knowing that Frankie is happy and well looked after gives great peace of mind xx
Poppy n Benji always loved and safe with Lyn, shame the council don't ask for customer opinion before forcing change Hugh's X
Just moved our dogs here and lynn is such a lovely lady really cares about the dogs wish we had found her years ago
Excellent care & attention given to my Lhasa Apso
Absolutely brilliant place and lovely people. Extremely caring to my little dog. Would not go anywhere else with him :)
I can leave my dog at little doggy daycare, knowing he will be safe, happy and well cared for.
Lynne is an amazing lady who genuinely loves each and every dog in her care
“We Love Pets Mansfield” and specifically Mandy & Jason recently cared for our two 3 year old British Short Hair cats twice a day whilst we were away for two weeks. Although outdoor cats, they remained inside and at home for the two weeks. Both cats looked incredibly well, content and had clearly been properly looked after once we arrived back home. Feeding stations and litter tray areas were immaculately clean and we were sent photos and short video clips of Belle and Blu pretty much every day. We could not have had two nicer people attending the property; both clearly love all animals, were attentive and spent time on visits interacting, entertaining and playing with our pets. Highly recommended; we will be using “We Love Pets Mansfield” again in September. Thank you so much Mandy & Jason!
Mandy and Jason looked after our young cocker spaniel for 2 weeks. It was our first time away from him but we felt at complete ease knowing he was safe and being cared for. He had plenty of exercise and fun during his time there and we got updates with photos. He fell in love with them on first meet and you can just tell they are great people. I'm so grateful to them both for everything. I would highly recommend them.
If you ever need a pet sitting service then Jason and Mandy at We Love Pets are definitely the people to get in touch with. We have had them pet sit both our cat Rio and our Rattie Norris several times this year and it’s less stressful for both of them being able to stay in their home surroundings whilst we go away. They both love Jason and Mandy and our Cat Rio who is not a peopley cat will always call us a liar and fuss round them both when they call in. Its also a breath of fresh air to have a pet sitter that will also look after a rattie as alot dont but they look after all different pets not just cats and dogs. I wouldn't have anyone else look after our Cat and Rattie ♥️
Mandy has been amazing all round. Our beloved puppy Milo gets so excited for his walks with her. When working long shifts we get regular photo updates, showing us he's safe and well looked after and he always looks like he's having the best time. 😁 …
Mandy and Jason have done a fantastic job looking after our cats! We came back to two very content cats. Everything was made so easy and we were happy knowing they were in good hands. We loved the updates too! We will definitely be using them again!
Dex came for his first holiday stay & I felt comfortable leaving him with Mandy & Jason. I received photos of Dex looking happy which made me feel at ease. Any queries they had they asked. They were great being able to give him his daily medication. He came home with no signs of stress(weight loss & stress lick sores) like he has when stayed in kennels which tells me he felt happier. I'd definitely recommend and visit again.
We absolutely LOVE we love pets. Darren has been so helpful and kind since the beginning, and our dog goose absolutely adores him. We get photos from his walk each day which is so nice. And it’s so reassuring to know they’re first aid trained. Definitely would recommend to anyone and I wouldn’t go anywhere else!!
Used a dog boarding service for the first time and chose Mandy and Jason to look after Stan for a few days. Had a meet and greet before I went on holiday to get to know them, for Stan to meet them and discuss his feeding/walking routine. While I was away they sent pics every day which put me at ease. Happy to recommend their service and will use again in the future.
Absolutely amazing service from start to finish 5*****👌 These guys put our minds at ease leaving our little princess for her 2 days holiday while we got married, She was treated like a princess to the point we didn't think she wanted to come home,, Jason & Mandy are simply awsome, Baby Narlah won't be going anywhere else, Your amazing x🥰
Thank you so much for looking after our family dog, Keeva. You realy did take great care of her and go the extra mile, even buying chicken for her when I forgot to bring any when I dropped her off. I, 110%, totally recommend you and will definitely use your services again. Taking her for a dog walk, the week before you took her in your home, was so thorough. You put our mind at rest from beginning to end. Thank you so much. 👍❤🐕 xx
This is a great place to board your pooch whilst away on holiday. Great service from Abi and the team and the accommodation is fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble. Great peace of mind to know your beloved family member is being well looked after.
Wish I could put the dogs thoughts in writing, let’s just say the moment they realise they are going to Oaksedge Farm they are all excited and happy - normally I don’t even get a goodbye from them 🙄 Only downside is if you are not a confident driver the access might be a little tricky but nothing you wouldn’t expect in the Peak District
The care and professionalism of this place needs no mention ....exceptional is to weak to describe it. Recently my old man (Gunter) took his last breaths with Abi and Leah by his side,apart from me and Rach I could not think of anyone I would want by his side at the end...thank you both for everything. Such caring professional people as anyone who has had the pleasure of having their pets stay with them.keep up the good work ,would be a better world with more people like yourself in it x Alun ,Rachael and Gunter
I have just collected my little sausage dog from his 3rd stay at Oaksedge farm. Its a truly lovely place where I know he is looked after very well.. I'm very protective over Lincoln and he's never stayed with anyone apart from family. However, I instantly got a good feeling when I looked around the farm and could tell that animals come first!! I would never take Lincoln anywhere else. Thank you to everyone who looked after Lincoln xx!
Great people, lovely place, animal sanctuary of the highest order
Amazing place for our dogs, First class luxury & care, our 4 dogs loved the stay. We felt so at ease with daily photo's to see them playing on the paddock.
Genuinely a brilliant place for your pups, young and not so waggy to chill being looked after by the best team led by a champion. For many years, our own several hundred mile trips to drop off and then collect have been nothing compared to the comfort the pack of three enjoy. They know when we arrive and go crazy to get in and are well refreshed when we collect the reluctant returners.
Our Jack Russell stayed at Oaksedge with Abi and her team for 12 nights. The care and service was absolutely fantastic. Abi sent approximately 25 pictures to our daughter (the bride) every day. This was so lovely and very reassuring for us all. After the 12 night stay our 12 year old dog came home looking healthier than ever. Can't thank Abi enough. I would definitely use Oaksedge again without hesitation.
This is the only place my wife will leave her babies sorry Dog's! Abby is great with them especially as they are both rescue dog's and Scruff can be a handful! But they love coming here. I really thought hard about leaving this post as Abby is busy enough and we want to get our dog's in when we need to ! But she deserves the praise.
Dear Abi, Thank you for looking after me when my Mum and Dad went on holiday. I've told all my friends down the park that they should come and stay with you if their Mum and dad go away, because I went on lots of walkies and met lots of new friends. My bedroom was better than Mum and dads bedroom at home and I cant believe I had my very own Flat Screen TV. I particularly enjoyed paddling and hanging out with my mates around the bone shaped pool in the doggy garden. I cant wait to stay with you again. lots of licks and woofs Oscar
Would highly recommend for dog walking. Paige and the team offer a caring personalised service for your dog, leaving feedback on how the walk has gone. It's lovely to see the pictures on Facebook too as an extra insight. I know how much my dog loves all of the walkers as he makes such a fuss if we we see them out and about, which is a stark contrast to a previous company we used. I come home to a happy and suitably tired dog!
Absolutely brilliant service, it was my two boys first time in the kennels at the grand old age of 8 and they looked very happy when I picked them up and are both lovely and clean. I was nervous to leave them but the staff kept in touch and reassured me which was lovely. I highly recommend these kennels and will return. Thank you Upperwood kennels :-)
We have used Upperwood previously for our cats so knew how great they were, but we wanted to introduce our puppy from an early age to get him used to kennel visits. We initially booked him in for a day and then 1 overnight building up to 4 nights most recently. On his first visit the staff were absolutely brilliant, knowing he hadn’t been before they suggested they take him straight into the kennels whilst I completed some form work; he was gone before I realised which made it extremely easy for me. When we collect him he comes home happy and looking really well. I would highly recommend Upperwood kennels.
We were holidaying in Derbyshire and our golden lab stayed for 2 nights to allow us to visit National Trust houses. He's 6 and it was his first time in kennels. The staff were very good and I'd definitely recommend Upperwood as a great place for your furry family members
My dog Larry always leaves happy! Have boarded him for short weekends and longer 2-3 week trips with no issues at all. Staff are lovely and welcoming and the accommodation is on acres of farmland in Derbyshire. Staff answer their phone promptly and provide pictures and updates on your animal(s) if you’re missing them. Amazing place! Thank you Upperwood.
I can highly recommend Upperwood! The staff are so lovely and clearly really know and love dogs very much. My Labrador boy has been going for day boarding with them when I need to go into work nearby for the last couple of years. He's always happy and tired when I pick him up at the end of the day. There's no one else I trust to look after him.
As a family weve used these for years. And always been great, dogs love going. X
Checking in process was quick and easy. The staff really friendly. No frenzied barking on arrival. Dogs had their own outside space and access to grass and they have centrally heating in their sleeping space. Hopefully they won't be too cross when we get back.
Fabulous. I have used Upperwood for the last 20 years (not the same dog!) - I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else. I know that my dog is safe, happy and well cared for. I can't recommend highly enough.
This was our first time using Upperwood and also a new experience for our 1yr old Sprocker who is quite timid. Lovely pens where the dogs can see what's going on and also interact with each other (each pen has its own run with fence separating dogs from each other) This allowed Ruby to go outside when she wanted and still feel secure. She actually came back a lot more social with other dogs and I think allowing her to sniff and see other dogs with the knowledge she was safe in her run gave her the confidence boost she needed. Pricing really competitive and lovely staff. Will definitely be back next year. Thank you.
I have been a vet nurse for over 20 years, and am often asked to recommend a boarding facility. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Upperwood. My two dogs are always happy to abandon me at reception, without a backwards glance. They are always relaxed when I pick them up, and never drop weight or seem remotely concerned about anything. The staff at Upperwood are fantastic, sensible, experienced, and know the dogs inside out. I couldn’t ask for more. Thanks
Megan has looked after our pup since she was 8 weeks old and we couldn’t ask for someone better to take care of her when we’re not around. She is very accommodating, friendly and our pup loves her! Thank you Megan 🥰 …
An excellent service from Scallywags. Look after our elderly dog in his own house overnight with care and compassion. He seemed extremely happy when we returned. We will certainly use Scallywags agin. Thank you very much
