We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
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!
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 were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
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!
By far the best around. Sarah truly looks after the dogs and is so passionate about their well being. I wouldn't trust anyone else with Lola. I wish I could have moved you to Leeds with me.
Thankyou Sarah .. lovely job .... Alister happy and relaxed after his beauty treatment 🐶 xx …
Really nice lady amazing customer service and care would recommend best around this area by far
Nice friendly people ,pets get well looked After ,highly recomended
Ok
Good service
We recently used the cattery for our Bengal. It really was one of the cleanest catterys, absolutely spotless. The cat pens are a really good size and the owners were so friendly and looked after our Zara so well. I fully recommend it, they even keep you up to date with photos of your cat setting in. Marian
Big thankyou to Walkers and Sitters. Wisp came home content, relaxed and with her coat groomed and shining. Noticed toys had been put into her holiday home too. Very well looked after.
This was the first time we’d used Walkers and Sitters, having used previous local catteries in the past. This service was outstanding, Diane and Jeremy were very friendly and welcoming and our cat had the best of care. We received 3 lovely emails with photos whilst we were away on holiday, our cat was obviously very happy and comfortable in their care. I highly recommend this service and we will definitely be coming back next time we’re away. Thank you very much!
This is the first time we have used Walkers and Sitters. We have 3 fur babies, one who has never been in a cattery. We received photos of our cats along with emails. They had a massive pen could sit and watch the world go by All 3 nice and relaxed We have already booked them in for another holiday. They are so well looked after Thanks
Lovely cattery! The cats were extremely well cared for. They will be holidaying here again 😁 …
You simply will not find another cattery that is so attentive and caring for your cats. I have used walkers and sitters now several times for my cats and have always been so pleased with their services! I was able to take a comprehensive tour of the facilities before my first booking and knew immediately that my cats would be well looked after. I provide food for my cats so that their diet is not changed during their stay which helps a lot as one of my cat is sensitive to changes in diet. My cats are never stressed after being at this cattery and are always quite comfy and relaxed when I go to collect them. I would definitely recommend using Walkers and Sitters, just make sure you call as soon as you know you are going away as they understandably get booked up quick!
First time using the cattery since the new owners have taken over… despite our cat being looked after well. It does not provide a cat friendly atmosphere, an overwhelming smell of wet dog as soon as you walk in the office and dog decorations everywhere. Nothing that shows its a cattery as soon as you walk in. Feels more like dog kennels. Outside the office door was a used poo bag. Its lost the sense of feeling of loving cats, it feels like their priority is dogs. As soon as cats enter they will smell and sense dogs there, making their stay uncomfortable and fearful. Not sure we will use this cattery again. 🙁
Fabulous cattery,very quiet and clean,the staff are amazing and very kind.they know how to care for cats well.they take very good care of my cat and when she returns home she's very relaxed and enjoys going in cattery.
1st time using Axhomle cattery as our usual cattery were away on holiday there were fantastic the pictures on Facebook were great so we could see our boys while away so we knew they were happy. Will be definitely be back when we go away next
The best cattery around, always feel relaxed knowing my Elvis is in safe hands x
Ashlie came to check in on our puppy after we had been let down by another service. Couldn’t be happy with how professional and kind she acted towards us and our dog. Highly recommend and would definitely use again. Thank you
Very good services! Gemma is an amazing and kind woman, who experts in animal care. She takes extraordinary care of her clients' pets and my dog was very happy to be there. So friendly!
Gemma truly loves the animals she looks after and cares for them as if they were her own. Gemma looked after my 2 cats this weekend and I highly recommend her. Gemma even got close to my ziggy, which is unusual for him xxx
Personable, friendly, and clearly loves pets! Gemma will look after any animal, not just dogs, which is great if you have a zoo like I have!
The best dog walker/ sitter you will ever find. Gemma gives away more than 100% . Cannot recommend more xx
Absolutely no problems. Fully trust Gemma and could not ask for a better service and walking companion for our dog.
My dog came back squished but other wise really happy thanks
Looks after my doberman, wouldnt trust anyone else
hello, 10 out of 10. brilliant
awesome service
I can’t say anything but praises about Andy and his company. We been using his services for a year now. The dog adores him. Always well looked after when walked. Andy is an ex police guy and he has been fantastic to us and our dog. We can’t be thankful enough. I can only highly recommend him.
Andy looked after my two elderly dogs recently and I can not fault him. His love of animals is clear to see and I felt reassured as I went off on my holiday. Both my dogs are on medication and Andy took my long list of instructions in his stride making sure he understood my dog’s requirements clearly. I came home to two unstressed happy dogs, so much better than kennels. I Would highly recommend Andy and would definitely use him again.
Andy has been walking Jake for over a year . Jake just loves him ! When he hears Andy’s car on the drive he goes crazy . Andy is the most lovely, friendly and professional guy you could ever meet . He is always on time and Jake has such a good time on his walk , he is usually very good all afternoon and very tired . Just wish we had known about Paws and Puddles earlier . If you are looking for a dog Walker / pet carer then you need Andy , we have nicknamed him the dog whisperer. Def 5 stars + Thank you from Us and Jake .
Had Andy booked in for a dog walk while we was both at work, unfortunately I was off ill but hadn't cancelled the walk. Never showed up, partner messaged him asking about the walk when she came home, lied and said he had been and walked the dog at dinner. Once caught out said we wasn't going to be charged for the walk at the end of the month. Untrustworthy
Mel and team were fabulous looking after my 6 month old puppy Suki. Great communication video updates, it was the first time I had left her so was a bit nervous of how she would be. But Mel was so lovely with her and Suki obviously liked you as she slept on your head ! Lol 🤣thank you Suki will be back ! …
Mel and chris are absolutely amazing and they took my boy in with short notice and gave him such a good day. I will definitely be using them again and would 100% recommend to everyone. They were so good and patient with him and were keeping me up to date and my mind at rest all day. Couldn’t recommend anyone better !!!
Wow, a weeks holiday these three have loved being with Mel. They have told me how welcome they have been made to feel and treated like they have been at a 5 star luxury hotel!!! We were kept updated throughout there busy week of what they have been upto and photos sent of them being loved. Thank you so much as it’s difficult finding someone who love your dogs the same a what you do. No hesitation in using this doggie 5 star hotel again and again. Thanks from Caroline and Paul… Oh yeh and ozzy, Koco and Dora!
