Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
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!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
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.
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!
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!
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!
Our Sprocker, Skye, is a very anxious but loving soul and thrives on routine. She has had separation issues since we rescued her at 8months old. Leaving her with others has been a big decision in the past. However, after an overnight stay at Skyecroft last year, we didn't hesitate to book her in for 10days, this year. We collected a happy, contented and yes, excited girl on our return. Photographs have shown Skye bonding and blending in with her band of black- coated buddies! Also, receiving some favoured, individual attention. Thanks to Wendy's prompt, efficient handling of the booking and the care of the whole team, Skye will be making return visits, without any hesitation.🐾
We went away for 12 days. It was our first time leaving our puppy for more than a day since we brought him home. Skyecroft shares photos on their Facebook almost every day of the dogs on their playdates. I really enjoyed being able to see these while we were gone as it gave me reassurance that he was having a nice time while we were away. He looked like he had been really well taken care of upon picking him up and seemed very happy! We will certainly be using Skyecroft again. I also look forward to using their groomer next time he visits as she was away while we were there but seems to do an excellent job
Ted & Lucy recently spent 6 nights at Skyecroft. We were naturally apprehensive as this was the first time we had left them so long. However, when we went to pick them up, both of them were very relaxed and happy and had obviously enjoyed their stay. They were also in immaculate condition. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the dogs seemed to have taken to them judging by the photos on the website. Highly recommended!
Was a bit wary when we took Monty here for the first time but the staff are very friendly and put me at ease.and Monty was ok to go with them. He has been back a couple of times since and greets them with a tail that's wagging nonstop and seems very happy to see them. They also have a grooming parlour and at the end of your dogs stay you can get them groomed if you want for an extra fee.We had this with Monty and he looked and smelt lovely. They show you around the kennels and where the dogs go walks etc. I Never had any problems and recommend them to all my friends.
Our boys always enjoy there stay here. The come home dry, clean and healthy. When we drop them off the dogs are so excited to be there.
Our boxer dog loves going to Skyecroft and they take very good care of him. They have been so helpful when we had a family bereavement - this situation would have been so much more difficult without them. He also loved his play date with his new friend. It really is lovely to see him pull to go in, so I know he will have an enjoyable day.
Wendy and the staff have just cared for my puppy Millie. A huge thanks for helping her as she is a nervous and quiet dog, hopefully during her next stay she will be more confident. Well done Skycroft.
We had a free dog trial day for Wilson and then had a 7 night stay for Wilson and our cat Doug. The trial day went amazing considering Wilson is quite a hyper young dog, we were over the moon that there was nothing but good things to be said about him which put me at ease for his long stay. When I called to check on them while we were away, I was made to feel comfortable straight away knowing both animals were perfectly safe and happy. The staff at skyecroft have been brilliant with us, including me adding on an extra night very last minute for the stay. We are always welcomed with a smile and they always go into detail about the animals without hesitation even at busier times. I couldn't recommend a place more and the size of the cattery is brilliant as our cat is both indoor/outdoor and he wasn't a bother. We have booked a further 2 weeks this year for the animals as they came back so well behaved and we feel comfortable enough to go away knowing they're getting the best possible care they can! Thankyou everyone at Skyecroft! X
This was my 3 year old Gsd's first stay in a kennels and I was a bit anxious as he can get stressed. But Wendy and the team were so reassuring and complimentary about his behaviour. They clearly have a great rapport with all their 'guests' and i am very happy to used Skyecroft as our go-to Kennels & cattery. Five stars!!!
They are really friendly staff how seem to care about the dogs floki loved it. It didn't change him one bit brilliant
Carla has been an absolute blessing. She is reliable, trustworthy, very professional and provides an exceptional service that I would be lost without. To me its such a massive comfort that when I go to work to know my dog will be cared for and the thought of the doggie van coming to pick her up with her other doggie pals makes me feel excited for her and jealous that I’m not there too. From the start Carla made sure she got to know my dog and her routine and gives her such enormous love and compassion and more importantly my dog loves her too. My dog has been going since she was a puppy and the socialisation skills she has gained has been a massive influence for when she is among other dogs. Each walk she is not just getting proper exercise but also having fun sniffing, running, rolling, and playing plus I get loads of pictures and updates along the way letting me know if she has behaved herself. I would never want to be without Little Brown Doggie. Carla has gone beyond her duties many times giving me hints and tips along the way when I have struggled. I think even if I didn’t work id still want my dog to go because the skills and behaviour my dog has gained and continues to gain (and me!) are so important and its been such a great influence.
Carla is a lovely lady and you can tell she really cares for your doggo,'s, love getting picture updates from her to see who my pup has been with, would highly recommend her. Gypsy just loves Aunty Rach :)
We are so lucky to have found Carla to look after our cats and bunnies! She is professional, friendly, very caring and provides a first class service. It was so reassuring to know that our pet family were in such capable hands. Carla sent photos and videos and we could see just how happy the pets were in her care. We could just relax and enjoy our holiday. It was great to see Carla playing games the pets! We will definitely be asking Carla to look after the furry tribe again and I can't recommend her highly enough. Many thanks Carla! D&G x
Little Brown Doggie provides a fantastic service for our dogs, who both love their daily adventures with Carla. Always reliable, flexible and very helpful - we have no hesitation in highly recommending this dog walking service. We go out to work knowing the dogs are in safe hands, and that they’re having a great time. Thank you, Carla!
Carla has been fantastic ever since we have been using her to walk our dog Millie. She walks her 4 times a week and Millie always seems to of enjoyed her walks and you can tell she has been on a good walk to exert her energy! We are also very grateful for the photos of Millie on her walk which she sends to us after each day which serves as both entertainment seeing some of the fab and funny photos as well as reassurance that you know she has been out on a nice walk each day. Carla also provides very good communication to update us early on any of her holidays etc which allows us to plan effectively. Overall a fab service!
We would highly recommend Little Brown Doggie. The girls are reliable, friendly and it is absolutely clear that they love our dog. Having been customers for a while, the service gives us great peace of mind that our family pet is cared for and well looked after on his daily walks. Carla keeps us updated with photos and it is evident that our dog is very happy in her care. So happy in fact that he looks for the van on days when we walk him ourselves. Amazing service.
As a family we cannot recommend Little Brown Doggie highly enough!! We have been customers since our Springer was around 1 year old and the confidence and relationships he has built since walking with Carla and the other dogs is astounding. Carla offers such a professional, caring service that we would be lost with out her... as would our Cooper! The dogs are indeed Carla’s number one priority... they enjoy secure transportation, fun walks in the countryside and the care and attention of a very conscientious dog walker. We have one happy dog while we are at work which is wonderfully reassuring.
We have used Little Brown Doggie for 4 years; Carla is amazing. Her genuine love and enthusiasm for her work is evident and our dog loves going for his walks with her- he adores her. She is super reliable and is very accommodating when we have to change our dog’s walks- even at very short notice! We receive daily photos and updates of his walks and you can see how happy he (and all his doggy friends are) on his walks. It is such a lovely touch when we often don’t see her due to being at work. I would strongly recommend Little Brown Doggie.
Carla is fantastic with our puppy, he's always so happy to see her! She always sends pictures from the walk, the places they are going look very nice. We've particularly liked the fact she arranged for shorter walks when he was very young, even carrying him so that he didn't have to walk too much! Very much recommended.
Carla at little brown doggie looked after my 5 month old kitten whilst we went on holiday. She sent us many updates throughout our holiday which put us at ease and we knew he was having a great time. I think he prefers her over us!! Carla is fab, she even offered to get supplies in for us for our return. I would 100% recommend, and so would my kitten!
Cuba our border collie has had a wonderful week at Centre Barks, the longest my husband and I have left him and first time with Centre Barks since his trial in August. The staff are absolutely wonderful, unsung hero’s, we couldn’t fault a thing, daily photo updates on Facebook, feeding to his schedule / amount, and plenty of walking and attention given for a young border collie. They have so much land for multiple dogs, super clean kennels and plenty of care and attention 24/7. So impressed we are already booked for next year! Thank you again!
Gracie loves her holidays at Centre Barks and loves to play and get fussed by the girls who work there. I really appreciate the photos and videos they post on Facebook showing how she has settled in and enjoying herself. It is always nice and clean and all the staff are friendly. Thank you Centre Barks 🐾 …
Our dog has just stayed at centre barks for 6 days (never been left before) and she has had the time of her life! The staff upload photographs daily, so you can always see what your pet has been up to, they are very responsive on messenger and give verbal feedback on pickup to let you know how your dogs health, eating habits and general manner have been. The registration process was easy, but very thorough and they take the health and safety of all pets joining them, really seriously, in regards to vaccinations, flea, worming etc. We are beyond impressed and very thankful that we found Centre Barks for our dog.
My dog Alfie is 15 years old. In his earlier years stayed at various kennels yet was never happy. Centre Barks is so different. Alfie skips in and is reluctant to leave. On a previous visit was really unwell and CB had him to the vet and kept us up to date with regular updates. They really care for your pet. Can’t recommend their services enough.
First visit with a friend and their dog to the play field. I can't give it 5 stars because I don't know about the booking or payment information... As I was only with my friend and their dog. I also don't know about any availability of toilets? You enter a gated car parking area (tall 6 or 7 foot fenced/ gated bit). Then you close the gates and can get your dog out in safety (they can't accidentally get out onto the road) The field has approx a 4 foot fence between it's enclosed car park and the field. The field is a reasonable size. It has a shelter with benching and a box of dog toys if you want to use them. There are some dog play items such as a ramp to walk up and down, a dog see saw, a hoop to jump through etc. The field is mainly grass. The external boundaries are all high fences. There is a little hedging at one side. It feels quite private. At feeding time we could hear some of the dogs who were boarding barking a little- they sounded like excited barks not stressed ones. That was nice to hear. It seemed a good enclosed exercise field.
This was our Cocker Spaniels 2nd stay here and the service is excellent. Very good drop off and pick up times. He stayed here from Sunday to Tuesday while we had a mini break in a nearby spa hotel. We had daily photo updates and he looked very happy and they said he was a sweety pie. Highly recommend
Darcie and Major absolutely loved their time in the secure dog park. Smiles all round from start to finish! Definitely going to become a regular day out for the pups 😁 The lady who greeted us on arrival was lovely and made us feel comfortable. Toys, poo bags and water are provided if needed 👌🏽 …
My boxer dog is a regular at day care and absolutely loves it so we had no worries at all when she stayed whilst we went on holiday. The staff are great and knowledgeable about the dogs. I love that they have a variety of things to do and the fact they got my dog swimming was amazing! Regular photos and videos that are posted on social media are really good so you are updated daily on what a fabulous time your dog is having on holiday. Would thoroughly recommend Centre Barks to everyone.
Well worth a visit, really friendly helpful staff, you receive an induction on your first visit - hut for shelter in the fenced off area (take a flask for a brew) , toys for you dog(s), water -agility set up. Perfect for training you dog(s) - must book in advance
Can’t recommend the guys at centre barks enough. Myself and my now wife booked our two pooches Rolo and Luna into their doggy hotel for the weekend during our wedding! Rolo and Luna where treat fantastically and where so happy and playful even after the many walks and playtimes they received by the team at Centre Barks!! 10/10 and 5 🌟 facilities and staff are a credit to their facility!! Will deffo be back with the pooches for day care etc in the future when we fancy a little break away together 👌 Thank you guys Kind regards The now Mr and Mrs Gutridge P.S hope you enjoyed the wedding cake 🎂
