Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
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!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
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!
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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!
Sarah has done a great job looking after Reggie our house rabbit whilst we were away for a few days. We were sitting having our tea and "ping" our phone went - Sarah had sent us a video of Reggie enjoying himself and some lovely photos of him really chilled and relaxed. A weight off our shoulders and we felt reassured he was being looked after and loved whilst we were away. So happy we've asked Sarah to look after Reggie again later this year :)
We asked Sarah to look after our cats whilst we were on holiday. Exceptional service that I would happily recommend further. Thank you Sarah.
We've used Sarah many times to look after our cats in our home. We can thoroughly recommend her. Totally trustworthy, the cats love her and she copes with our cat with renal issues. We never worry about Mikey and Mavis when we go away.
Excellent service all the time! The dogs love it!! Always come back happy!!
I’ve been using Chris and Mel for a few weeks and they’ve been really knowledgeable and patient with my difficult and reactive dog Mason. They tailored the sessions to gain his trust and can even let him off lead now! Definitely recommend We Love Pets.
Our two large dogs don't have much experience with being looked after by anyone else but Chris and Mel were complete professionals from start to finish. They took our Apollo's excitement and energy levels in their stride and were able to keep Luna company through her anxiety of us not being around. Our dogs are very different in personality so to know that each would be catered for was very reassuring. We certainly recommend We Love Pets services and we will definitely be using them again when we next visit the area.
We have used Chris and Mel twice now to look after our two dogs. They were looked after so well and it was great to be away with no concerns over our dogs well being. The house was immaculate when we got home and the dogs looked great too. We would definitely use them in the future and would advise anyone to use them too. It so nice to know your animals are being so well loved and cared for.
Chris at We Love Pets Stowmarket has recently looked after our 2 large and extremely energetic dogs, house sitting both during the day, and also for several nights whilst we have been away. We cannot recommmend Chris highly enough, he has cared for the dogs, and our home (plus 2 cats and a goldfish!) with great care and attention. Chris took the dogs on extensive walks and they were very settled and calm when we returned home, allowing us to feel completely confident about leaving them in his capable and experienced hands in the future. We have already booked further dates with Chris and Mel who have been very responsive and helpful in fitting us in, despite being very busy.
We've had a great experience with Chris, Mel & the team popping in to our dog Reggie. They've been so flexible and accommodating working around our changeable work schedules and Reg loves a lunchtime visit and walk. We always look forward to getting the picture updates about what they've managed to persuade a stubborn Basset to do each time and will definitely keep working with the team!
Excellent and Friendly dog walking service. Very flexible with changes and always good communication. Would recommend to anyone looking for casual or more permanent dog walking / dog sitting services
We had been struggling to find someone who was able to look after our mix of pets (rabbits, gerbils, gecko and fish) whilst we were away. We came across Mel and Chris who were able to fit us in at short notice and arranged to visit our house daily to feed all of our animals. We received daily updates and photos/videos which was great to see whilst we were away. All our animals were very well looked after, had cuddles and were very happy. We would recommend Mel and Chris to anyone who needs their animals looked after 🐾
Chris and Mel came to look after our pets with twice daily pop in visits. This was for our three cats and one house rabbit and our first booking. Two of my cats are on regular medications and they were able to administer these on initial visit which I was so pleased about. My cats are quite wary of new people but they must have have been relaxed in their company to allow them to do so. I had regular detailed updates at every visit and clearly they had followed all instructions to the letter. Photos demonstrated how thorough and conscientious they had been, everything was neat and tidy and it was clear how much care and attention they put into their work. I can honestly say it’s worth every penny - having peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and your home is secure while on holiday is SO important. Thank you Chris and Mel, you’re far and away the best pet sitting company we’ve ever come across and I will definitely be recommending you to family and friends.
I have been super impressed with We Love Pets Stowmarket. From our first interaction, there has been great communication throughout, from an initial call, through to an overnight trial where we received pictures and updates of how our pups were doing. Really reassured to know that our dogs are being well looked after and loved as if they were at home. Thank you ❤️
We've used Chris & Mel on a couple of occasions. They always go out of their way to help and they love spending quality time with the dogs. Chris & Mel sent regular updates, pics & videos of our dogs and you can be rest assured your pets will be looked after as if they were their own.
Very attentive to our cats, rabbits and chickens, giving us peace of mind while we were away for a few days. Wouldn't hesitate to use again.
Friendly staff and great location. Our pup loves it here too.
Amazing staff, really care and look after your pooch as if they were their own. They play with them,have themed weeks for the dogs to get involved with if they wish, and they even have nap time in the afternoon. My pooch loves it here, and we don't hear a thing from him all evening as he is exhausted 😊 Keep up the great work Lisa and team
Fantastic place for our new puppy. Its always a good sign when her tail is wagging and she cant wait to go in when she gets there! She has lots of fun, positive socialisation with other dogs and is knackered when she gets home! Lisa and the others are absolutely brilliant and have helped settle Daphne into creche life and she has built so much confidence. I feel very lucky to have them so close by and so does Daphne too! Thanks Lisa and everybody at St Mary's creche 🐶
Our puppy Winnie has been going to the crèche since she was 12 weeks old, and it’s the best thing we’ve ever done! All of the staff are incredible, so knowledgable, they love your dogs as much as you do! They have themed weeks and have so much fun, they make sure dogs are well hydrated, shaded, and resting enough in the summer so it’s perfect for the hot weather! Our pup loves it there so much, she never wants to come home at pick up time! It’s been amazing for socialising our pup and has helped her become such a playful, independent, friendly girl! We couldn’t recommend the crèche enough! Thank you to Lisa and her wonderful team!
Our Daxxi puppy recently started at St Mary’s Canine Creche, not only was the settling in period really easy and smooth they have been so accommodating and lovely. She’s now done a few full days and absolutely loves it, she looks happy when she leaves and loves being dropped off in the morning. 10/10 recommend, we looked at a few other places but they didn’t seem interested in the dog whereas here we know she is playing and looked after all day long whilst making new doggy & human friends, I love the fact that they share pictures of the dogs regularly so you can always see what fun you dog/pup is up to whilst they are there.
Crèche or what we call “school” has been a life saver for me & our pup Grace. With me working long days & my other half in the military, having the crèche means Grace can have a fun day too! Grace has loved school from 14 weeks, she is so well socialised now & behaves so lovely around other dogs we meet! “School” has helped grace learn the important doggy social cues, how to be independent, how to enjoy herself (and how to bark ha ha!). The team are so friendly & understanding, they get that they’re your family & they care (even when you are an overbearing dog mum lol) ! Grace cannot wait to get in, in the morning, she has made so many new friends and always comes out so happy (and sleepy!) I would deffo recommend you taking your dog / puppy along it does them wonders and helps them to be happy, social, confident puppers
We only need to use the creche occasionally but whenever we do send Griou here he also has a great time charging around with the other dogs. He's well looked after, the team love Griou and as an added bonus he also returns sleepy!
Brilliant canine crèche to make sure my dog has had lots of contact with other dogs as he joined us during the pandemic. Couldn't recommend more - very friendly and the dog loves it there!
Staff are lovely and my dog has a ball
Great facilities, dogs having a great time playing with all the equipment and each other in a very safe environment. Brilliant
