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.

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!
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
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.
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
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.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
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!
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!
Really happy with the service Mitch provides. If you're going away on holiday then you can rest easy knowing your dog is going to have a holiday of their own with all the other dogs. My Border Collie is always knackered after a few days here from all the fun!
Mitch of Tyrone Pet Services was recommended to us by Tia’s ( 3 yr old Golden Retriever) dog groomer. We haven’t been on a holiday or break for about 2 + years ( Covid and my wife’s “ separation anxiety “ about leaving the dog ) …… We booked TYRONE PET SERVICES for 4 days …. and Mitch was fantastic . She visited Tia at home , fed and watered her, took her for at least 2 walks per day and stayed playing with her. All thru our break, my wife was sent photos and videos of a happy dog, exploring the neighbourhood on a lead and playing with her stuffed tug toy at home. Thank you so much Mitch, we now have a chance to enjoy breaks without fretting about our Tia . TYRONE PET SERVICES are our go to for worry free pet sitting .
Mitch is fantastic with animals I’d highly recommend her
My dogs have stayed here several times this year. Really helpful people & prepared to accommodate at short notice as well. Great service provided, excellent & would highly recommend.
Grant is exceptionally courteous and amiable. My dog absolutely loves her visits there. I appreciate that she gets to enjoy walks in such a picturesque setting. I wholeheartedly recommend Glencairn to anyone seeking a safe and welcoming kennel for their beloved furry friends.
Third time leaving my dog there now was very happy with the care he received would recommend
We have used this place several times. The management are very obliging and our dog has always been very settled Thanks
Left our 6 month old pup in with Brian for 2 days over the weekend, he was fantastic with him. No fuss, easy transition plus great value for money
As usual, the excellent individual care and attention and kindness extended to my pup and the others is so appreciated.
Can't think of neywere better for your dog to go nice heard working people.
Left are dogs there this week and they couldn't have been better looked after thank you so much Bryan sylvia and grant
Very friendly and pleasant
Dogs came home happy. But quiet smelly!
Fantastic place for our cats to stay while away holiday. Well cared for.
We left our dog Mindy into Elite Pets for a month. We were so pleased with the overall experience. We were sent plenty of updates, she came home smelling fresh and clean. Mindy had been well exercised and her kennel was kept beautifully clean. Best kennels for Mindy.
Our wee kitty Shiva stayed here for 4 days.....I had collected my friend's cat a few months ago, and instantly warmed to the whole place, so had no qualms in leaving Shiva here. Ruth and David are lovely, clearly genuine animal lovers. I wouldn't hesitate in availing of Elite Pets again.
The best ever kennel. Not only are the facilities very good, but the staff are trained in veterinary science. I feel very good about leaving our dog here. They take better care than our family does. The best I've experienced ever, and I've experienced kennels around Europe.
Modern, clean and safe kennels on a good location. Huge yard for dog to run so dog is not only staying in his own kennel during his stay. Lovely, knowledgeable and caring owners!
The place is great my dog was very happy he had a lot of running time thank you Hanna for the movies and for taking care of my boy, the place is clean, but on the day of collection my dog cut his leg somewhere and the staff does not know where so if it wasn't for that I would say it is good place, I hope that in the future they will be more careful in the garden catwalk so that nothing sharp will lie down because now I pay additional costs at the Vet's and it is already inconvenient for me to leave the dog under care not enough that the cost of stay is paid for the veterinarian after the accident.But I recommend this place, becouse if not this accident everything perfectly fine thanks Hanna and Ruth for look after my lovely dog ❤️❤️
Ruth & David are 5 stars all around our dog junior loves heading up too elite pets he always comes home a tired boy after all the running about he gets and we love watching the videos ruth and david send of him.
Absolutely fantastic kennel service. Super clean and well organised who cared for Sadie on her night’s stay.
Left my retriever pup with Ruth and David a few overnight stays and must say there kennels are brilliant Max is very well looked after and you get little video s of him running around there garden would recommend to all you dog lovers
Our 2 dogs stayed at Elite Pets while we were on holidays. They were very well looked after. Ruth treats them like her own.
D & G have obviously put a lot of time & effort into the planning of the VIPet Hotel🐕🐈🐰🏠 as they appear to have thought of everything!👍🏻 Arlene & Roisin are friendly & relaxed putting both pet 🐾 (& owner!) at ease. They are also very professional & responsible in approach. You quickly sense your furry friend will be in caring, experienced hands here.💛 A & R are pretty amazing ✨ as they make it all look effortless even managing to send everyone pics, texts & videos of their happy pet. 🐾 It's at this stage you have a quiet panic attack as it dawns on you that your beloved pet may not want to return home with you again as he or as she knows home ( mine at least) was never like this! 😲😭🤣 I especially appreciate A & R that our four legged friends are loved & even pampered yet still remain real life doggies playing, swimming, having a ball 🏀 as well as playing with one 😃 & maybe even getting a little dirty in the process. 💯 Thanks so much for looking after my Harvey 🐕 so well Arlene & Roisin 🤗 . I loved seeing all the adventures he got up to with you. He was so chilled out when I took him home - amazing! 🤔😄
Very negative experience. Careless, not responsible, concern form complete waist of time. They will let hurt your dog,they will leave your dog bleeding until you pick up,then wash they hands away. If you have another option,better use other kennel.
I left my pup Buttons here for a couple of days and he had the best time! That Roisin and Arlene are dog lovers is clearly evident in how they interact with the dogs in their care. Loads of outdoor exercise and socialising with other dogs made for a real exciting time for Buttons! 💯% recommend! …
Can’t recommend this hotel enough. Theo our puppy has been visiting from July when he was just 8 weeks old. Sometimes for day care, sometimes a night or two, other times for the BEST wash ever!!! He even had his first hair cut with Roisin. Yep they wash and groom also, 5* service. One stop shop. Your doggy will never smell or be so clean. Love the videos and photos you receive during their stay. The place is amazing, as are Arlene and Roisin. Every dog treated as their own. I knew the first time I left him off he was gonna be well looked after. Maybe too well looked after.... the little devil cried when we lifted him today after a two night stay. If that isn’t a recommendation I don’t know what is. If your looking a home away from home for your pet, this is the place to go. So glad I found it, would be lost without them now. Thank you ladies from myself and wee Theo x
We left our dog here for five nights. He was looked after so well and we were kept up to date daily with photos of him. We would highly recommend this business. The girls are very attentive to the animals in their care and have a genuine affection for them. We were able to enjoy our holiday without worrying about our wee Ralph. The world could be doing with more people as kind as Roisin and Arlene ! 🙂
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ left my two pups in the care of D & G pet hotel for the first time yesterday! Anyone who knows me, knows what I am like about my dogs! Let's just say from the moment I pulled up to the gate and was greeted by the girls I knew my dogs were going to receive the best of care! The facilities, friendliness and knowledge D & G Pet Hotel hold are fantastic 👌 During their time there the girls were able to relax, exercise and socialise and I was kept updated throughout the day (which I loved). We will definitely be back x
O boy I'm coming back next time as a dog and living here. What a treat and experience to have your pet book in with these girls couldn't recommend Pet Hotel enough
Our 2 pups have stayed here a few times now. They love it! Its home from home with Arlene and roisin treating as their own. We don't have to worry about them as they have great fun. Would highly recommend to anyone and with any sort of dog. Fab fab fab x
D&G pet hotel is the ONLY place I would ever leave my dog. From day one, both Roisin and Arlene have shown their loving care for the pets they look after. Our dog is always happy, well exercised and content.
Wow! What a place for your dog.. a real home from home. They are so well cared for and Bella had a ball!! The girls keep you up-to-date with lots of photos and videos, which makes you feel at ease and you are able to see for yourself how much fun they are having! Bella is looking forward to her next 'holiday' already!! Thank you so much.. a very well deserved 5* Excellent place!! :-)
Thank you Avril @ Ballypaw Kennels. This was Storms 1st stay ant the end of August 2024. He was here one week. Was very well looked after. The kennels are very very clean and well maintained. Our dog is on a special diet and his needs were catered for and he came by home a very happy and content dog. Thank you. I Will be in touch soon to book him in again.
Avril is absolutely lovely. The cattery is always spotless and our cats are always looked after very well. We have used this cattery for the last 2 years and cannot fault it. We even travel over an hour to use this cattery and we have used it many times. Highly recommended.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! We left our sweet Newfie for a month in Avril's capable hands. We received photos every week of play time and came home to a relaxed, well brushed, happy dog. We couldn't be more pleased with Avril and her team at Ballypaw! Thank you so much for treating our sweet girl like one of the family!
Left our dog Miley here for a week and she's came home the happiest wee dog. Facilities were great and clean. Avril is pleasure and sent us a video when asked for an update. Would use again :)
The absolute best ❤️ Wouldn't leave Buddy and Bella anywhere else. They both got on so well at Ballypaw, spoilt rotten by Avril. Such a well-run family business and I feel very grateful to have somewhere who treats each dog as their own. Much appreciated Avril, and no doubt Buddy and Bella will be back! x
The perfect cat hotel. Our cat is quite young and we were worried about leaving him for a few days but we couldn't have left him in better hands. Not only was he so well looked after, Avril is so accommodating with regards to drop off and pick up times. Definitely our go to place in future!
We left Archie out for a weeks holiday to Ballypaw and I can say we will definitely bring him back. Archie loved his stay and the care and attention he got from Avril was second to none. If you are going away on holidays and need somewhere to leave your dog go to Ballypaw. Most definitely recommend.
My little dog Penny has stayed here 3 times now and she is in great hands 👌 the place is clean and very well run and Avril is very accommodating. Had amazing peace of mind knowing my fur baby was OK and I will definitely be using ballypaw kennels again 👍👍😁😁 …
Very clean,spacious kennels and great people who run it our dog Ellie loved it there and came away bouncing with joy. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to leave there precious four legged babies this is the place I will be using again.
My lurcher is a rescue and two years ago was found shivering in the middle of a busy road. As its her first time in kennels since her rescue i was really worried but avril was brilliant with her. Thanks a million, I'll definitely be back. Dee Muckle
Avril and david are very welcoming and look after our dog with care always . Been using there kennels for almost 15 years and had no bother whats so ever can honestly say perfect for my dog and im super fussy. I honestly would not have a problem in recomending
