This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
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.
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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!
I am extremely pleased with the service that Nigel and Emma offer. We have a lively young terrier and a nervous senior cat. At the preliminary visit, we were very impressed by N and E's professionalism and understanding of the needs of both pets. We have used their service many times since and have found them to be both flexible and reliable. I am very confident leaving both pets in their care. and caring am confident leaving both in their care.
Nigel and Emma are very reliable and ensure my dog Xena has a great walk. Xena is always very excited to see them which only reaffirms that she has a great bond with them. They are also very trustworthy and lovely people to deal with. They will always try and accommodate for last minute requests too which really helps us out. I would definitely recommend their services to others.
Nigel and Emma have been walking our dogs for many years since they took over Petpals York. They have also looked after our cats when we’ve been away. They have always been professional and utterly trustworthy. They have been flexible to accommodate ‘doggie quirks’ and adjusted their routine for exercise when any of the dogs has been unwell or injured. They are highly recommended.
Nigel and Emma have always been wonderful with our Cat, Remus. We use Petpals to look after our cat when we are away from home. They are great with him, reliable, flexible, great value and trustworthy. They also send us pictures of how Remus is getting on via Whatsapp which we love! Far less stressful for the cat than a cattery, and great value.
Although I’ve not needed to use their services during the pandemic, it has been lovely seeing the happy posts from Petpals as they’ve continued to provide support for some very content looking cats and dogs. Having used Petpals many times in the past for my cats, I will certainly be calling them again as soon as I can travel again. I’m a bit disorganised, but Nigel and Emma have always responded straight away and helped me out with my last minute bookings. Thanks to you both, and stay safe.
Petpals York have been walking our 8 year old Boxer since he was a young lad! They are very compassionate and professional and our family highly recommend them. Our doggie was poorly a couple of years ago and Nigel and Emma were very supportive and adjusted to our needs at that time. We can't thank them enough for loving our dog as much as we do.
We have used Nigel and Emma for the last three years, whenever we have gone away for more than a night or two, to look after our cat. They are professional, attentive, caring, and always keep us updated throughout. We have never had any issues, and will continue to use them as long as we need a cat-sitter. Would highly recommend their service!
Petpals is fantastic! Our cats got very stressed when we used to take them to a cattery. Now it's "business as usual" for the cats and we can go away knowing they are being very well looked after. It's extremely easy too - all we do is send and email and pay! We can't recommend Petpals enough.
excellent service. Emma and Nigel are so dependable and clearly care about the work they do. I have no hestation in highly recommending them for all your dog walking needs.
Nigel and Emma are brilliant - highly recommended due to their professionalism and fair prices. We'll be using their services to look after our cats Frank and Brian for some time to come I would imagine!
Julie looked after our dog when we were away for a week on holiday and she did a great job. Dash was made to feel very welcome, immediately befriended Julie and had lots of fun. Julie updated us regularly and shared some photos so we could see what the dogs were up to. I will definitely use Maddie’s Retreat in the future and would highly recommend for a professional and homely stay for your pup!!
Just came back from a week away on a family holiday having never left my dog with anyone other than friends before. It was lovely to see how well settled and looked after he has been at Maddie’s Retreat. I got plenty of updates throughout his stay with pictures showing all the fun he was having. I would not hesitate on recommending Maddie’s Retreat and will certainly use their services again.
We recently used Maddie Retreat for our dog Evie. She had a great time being walked with lots of new doggy friends & being looked after in a lovely home environment. Julie kept us up to date with videos & photo’s during her stay. Julie is very professional, knowledgeable & caring I felt reassured we had left our dog in safe hands. 5⭐️
The best doggie retreat around Knaresborough for sure , home from home care & attention with lots of love thrown in too . My LuLu loves coming to stay with Maddies retreat !
My dog Rufus loves staying here. I feel he is having so much fun snd love getting the updates during his stay. Highly recommend Maddies Retreat. A true home from home.
Maddie's Retreat really is a home from home for our dog. He absolutely loves going to stay with Julie and gets really excited when we mention her name. Julie and her family treat the dogs in there care as if they were their own and they want for nothing. I would highly recommend them.
My little Yorkie loves to go to Julie’s and I feel reassured when she goes there that she will be looked after really well and surrounded by other little dogs. Julie has extensive knowledge of animals and is very committed to her job and looking after other peoples pets making sure they feel at home. She’s very patient with my dog and very careful and aware of safety issues. Highly recommended.
After I lost one of my little dogs and didn't want to put my other one into kennels Julie stepped up for me and took my little dog into her home. She did a check first to make sure she fitted in and after a successful visit i felt comfortable leaving my little dog with her. When I came back from my weekend away it was quite apparent she'd settled in well and was comfortable there. I know she was well looked after and would definitely use Julie again in the future and would recommend her, thanks Julie
What amazing doggy boarding. Julie and her team took fantastic care of Dougal whilst we were on holiday. Paddling pools for him in the hot weather and plenty of walks. He was sad to leave after having made so many new doggy friends. The dogs really do just play together and relax together under Julie’s supervision. I was sent regular updates on Dougal which was very reassuring. He was even groomed several times. Fantastic care from someone who clearly adores dogs.
Alfie has just started to go to Maddie’s retreat and he loves it! He has fun with the other dogs and is very well looked after ! I feel so reassured that he is having a great time! I will definitely be using Maddie’s retreat and Julie on a regular basis including boarding !
We had to come up to Yorkshire to visit a lone relative who is not keen on dogs. Rather than leave Crumpets on his own all day, we popped him over to Isaac at Yorkshire Tails & Co and he had the best day hanging out with Rufus and going on a big walk along the river. He slept in the car all the way home to Lichfield! Isaac was fab and sent me updates throughout the day to let me know how Crumpets was getting on. I will definitely use Yorkshire Tails again.
Isaac has a genuine love of dogs and their welfare. Excellent service and a good value for the amount of tail wagging after!
Great service, and our two Guinea pigs are always really happy when we've kept them here
So helpful and friendly. Lovely staff. Looked after our dogs so well.
My Hamster Gus Gus was regularly handled and such well cared for will definitely use Charlotte again whenever we go away! We were consistently updated with pictures, so happy with her services!
Charlotte is amazing at looking after our little piggies, we've never had to worry about them whilst they've been in her care. We've used Charlotte's services a few times now and can't fault her. We love getting regular updates and pictures of our piggies and will continue to use Pippin Pet Boarding for the foreseeable future.
Our rabbit, Puddles, has stayed with Charlotte three times. She is always very well cared for and we receive regular updates. We are always very happy with Pippin holidays. Charlotte clearly loves animals.
My bunnies Nibbles and Isabelle have stayed at Pippin many times, most recently in the new luxury lodge which is a whole summer house and garden for them to roam freely. But it is the care and love that they receive from Charlotte who apart from being highly experienced in small pet care obviously adores animals which makes it more than just a business. I wouldn’t send my beloved rabbits anywhere else. Prices are more than fair for the level of service and you will get regular lovely photos and updates. Highly recommended in every way.
I would highly recommend Pippin Pet Boarding. Charlotte has been looking after our hamsters for the past few years now and we have always received an excellent service. Charlotte is really friendly and from the first visit we knew our hamster would be in safe hands. Charlotte always sends us photo updates throughout their stay so we can see how they are getting on which is great!
My two little Russian Dwarf hamsters, Pudding and Crumpet, have just spent 10 days with Charlotte at Pippin Pet Boarding and they had an absolutely amazing time ! They were looked after with the utmost care and attention . I received regular updates and some really cute pictures of my two girls which was sooo nice and comforting as I missed them a lot ! Charlotte was very friendly and professional , and was sooo considerate and flexible when arranging drop off and pick up times ! I highly recommend Pippin Pet Boarding for all your small animals, an all round FANTASTIC service :) :) :)
Charlotte looked after my canary "Biscuit" for two weeks and he was very happy and healthy when I returned to collect him. I was given regular updates about him throughout my holiday, including lovely photos of him free-flying around safely. Reasonably priced and reliable! Will definitely use again!!!
Milo, our hamster had a great stay, we loved our mid week update and photos. Highly recommended pet care service ! Thank You ! Summer holiday booking on its way 😁
Charlotte is always happy to look after our old bunny 🐰 and sends pictures to show how he is doing. …
Pipping Barding is just first class accommodation for small animals 🥇Charlotte is very dedicated and cares for her charges with 100% dedication my two girlie guineas Wendy & Daphne have been twice for two pretty long stays I have no hesitation at leaving them .The updates while you are away are fabulous we all know small animals can suddenly go downhill it’s something we always discuss but thankfully it’s never happened .Makes going away on holiday so much easier !
Just the absolute best, I wouldn't ever use anyone but Hazel to look after my furry 4.
Really helpful. My timid, elderly cat loves Hazel!
Lovely food lovely staff
We’ve used Emma’s services (cat sitting) a couple of times now. Emma is professional, kind, caring and understanding. The price range is amazing too. Although our cat isn’t the most sociable cat, Emma took/takes the time to get to know her and understand her needs. Both my partner and I would recommend Emma in a heartbeat. It takes a lot for us to trust someone to come into our home and look after our pet. However, we never ever had any worries with Emma. Emma kept us updated throughout and her caring nature really showed
Emma came highly recommended when i was looking for help with feeding my 2 cats and fish whilst away on business. She's reliable, dependable and organised. I would recommend her to anyone that has a pet sitting need. She has thought of absolutely everything! I trusted her to be in my home and around my animals and she didn't disappoint! I will definitely do business with her again! Thanks Emma :)
Emma has been walking our dog since we got him 3 years ago. She’s reliable, friendly and clearly loves her job. I know that when I’m at work, our dog is getting the exercise and attention that we’d give him ourselves. Brilliant service!
I would recommend A Dog's Best Friend to anyone. I have every confidence in Emma. My dogs Paisley and Bella are always very excited to see her and I have peace of mind knowing they are happy and well looked after whilst in her care.
Emma and Aimee have both looked after my fur ball Bob and I cant thank them enough for the care they have given him.. If you are looking for a dog walker or dog sitter, look no further
Emma is great!
Absolutely delighted with Lodge Pet services they are fantastic looking after my nervous little boy. Would definitely recommend here.
Great place. My dog is always excited to get dropped off. Fab service and care given. 🙌 …
Great value, lovely owners, will use agian and again.
Thank you Bruce was a very good boy x
Amie is amazing!! We have used her for a few months now after having a bad experience with a previous dog walker. She put our mind at ease straight away as she was a natural with our 2 Dachshunds. She's very punctual, always leaves the dogs as clean as she finds them, changes the walks so they get to experience new surroundings and great at communicating with us daily whenever we want to amend or add days to walk them. Thanks so much for loving them as much as we do and taking care of them whilst we are working.
Absolutely fantastic dog walking service - I cannot recommend it enough! When we first got our dachshund puppy three years ago, we were nervous about trusting a dog walker. We contacted Amie because we liked the professional marketing and quirky name, and since then her service has well exceeded our expectations. She had a key from the start, and began doing puppy pop-ins for us, before progressing to daily walks as our dog got older. She formed a brilliant bond with him from the minute they met, and he absolutely loves her! Amie has been fundamental in helping our dog grow into the confident sausage he is! She has assisted us with his training and given us lots of helpful tips during the tricky puppy months (and beyond!). She is 100% committed, very reliable and she really cares about the dogs she looks after; she always goes the extra mile to meet their individual needs. She is easy to get hold of and always responds quickly. The pictures she posts on social media are also great for letting you see how your dog is getting on and enjoying themselves. We have recommended Bloomingtails to several of our friends who now also use the service, and they all agree that Amie does an amazing job. Thank you for your excellent care and service Amie!
Amie is fantastic! Always professional & totally reliable, she is a great communicator. Nothing is too much trouble & she goes the extra mile to ensure your dog's needs are met, placing them on the best walks for both their size and temperament. I chose Amie because of her experience with dachshunds & consequently my dog has grown in confidence since becoming one of the Bloomingtails 'gang'. He has tremendous fun on his walks & adores Amie! Her amazing bond with all the dogs in her care is obvious. Amie provides an excellent service and I can highly recommend her.
I cannot recommend Amie highly enough; she is professional, reliable and a real dog lover. She gets to know each individual dog's personality and adapts to this. On a day-to-day basis, she provides varied walks and considers which dogs to take on which walk, so they can meet their mates regularly. Our large ridgeback/lab cross (Tilly) always comes home tired but happy. Amie responds quickly to messages, gives plenty of advanced warning of her holidays and tries her best to accommodate any requests, such as an extra day or a change of day. Tilly adores Amie, although this hasn’t always been the case. Tilly has a guarding instinct and has trust issues. Amie overcame by popping in to see Tilly every day for a month until Tilly accepted her as a part of “her gang” and I will always be grateful for her efforts. Amie will often post pictures or videos on Instagram so you can see the dogs having fun. She is truly trustworthy, and I have no hesitation in recommending her.
Bloomingtails Amie has walked our boy since he was a puppy. He absolutely adores her and I trust her completely with him! I cannot recommend Bloomingtails enough! Amie has really gone out of her way to help us out and I really don't know what we would do without her! There have been quite a few occasions when I have bumped into Amie whilst walking my dog myself and I am always re-assured by how well she takes care of the dogs and how she always keeps them under control. A definite 5 stars!!
Bloomingtails have exceeded all expectations of what you expect from a dog walking service. Amie is absolutely brilliant with my labrador, and he adores her. Amie is always reliable and professional. Pre-lockdown, I trusted her with my keys so she could collect and drop off Buddy whilst I was at work. She's always willing to help if I need an extra day (subject to space/availability of course). She'll also post pics on social.media so you can see your dog having lots of fun! Would highly recommend 👌
The lady who drives this van speeds in 20 mile zones. Be aware of this if your putting your treasured animals in her care. Very worrying. I had to put a star in order to post this.
Our dog Dobby is the most excited he ever gets when Amie comes knocking at the door!
I send my German Shepherd here, the girls looking after her genuinely love the dogs. I have recommended Ackerley Kennels to family and friend all of whom now use them . I have no hesitation in recommending Ackerley Park kennels
I was worried about leaving Rocco dog as he's getting old and we had not used this kennel before. Rocco is not the easiest dog to look after as he is very particular and fairly pedantic. He's not the most social dog either. The kennel staff have been great. We booked last minute but were able to visit first and get all our questions answered. They were very informative and listened to all my worries. I felt reassured and they really cared. I have just collected Rocco and we couldn't be happier. He has loved his stay and greated us with big smiles, as did the staff. Rocco clearly liked them too as he was fussing around them. Its clear they have done a great job looking after him and he came out cleaner than when he went in😂. Thank you so much to all the lovely staff. I would definitely recommend using here and I will do so in the future.
My dogs have been boarding at these Kennels for the passed 6 years ... we go away four times a year and have never had any concerns about my dogs wellbeing ! Viv and the gang are lovely ! Falkor and Odette are always super happy when I drop them off !
Our two wolfhound boys have had a brilliant time here, we got an email to confirm that they had settled in and a photo showing one of them playing (getting a photo of a wolfhound isn't easy as they move pretty fast). It was their first time in kennels and I did worry that they may might go off their food as they are sensitive souls. They have come back in excellent condition. Highly recommend
Great place for our special boy. Owners have a great set up and have implemented Covid adaptions for drop off and pick up. He came home happy. Looked like he was having a ball in the exercise yard. I had to call him before he even noticed me. This is dog who has Covid seperation anxiety. He will be going back again next time we need kennels in North Yorkshire.
I am glad l didn’t get to book my dog in.no way would l trust that man with my dog he was loudly abusive to the staff (Shouted don’t dare defy me) as she was letting me take a quick look into the kennel, he was then rude to me. What is he like when alone with the boarders,if one try’s to defy him!
Thank you once again Viv & team for looking after Dulcie so well! I've got jet- lag...think Dulcie's got "kennel- lag".. she's slept for hours since she came home!!
Extremely poor customer service. Man picked up the phone and straightaway started abusing cause "apparently" he thought I was calling to sell something to him, when I was just calling to make a reservation. Simply shocking!
Always pleased with the standard of care here. Our dog loves to come.
Took my French bull dog in at very short notice as I wasn't award that the event I was going to wasn't dog friendly , a very well established family run business 5 star all round
