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.
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
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.
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.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
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!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
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!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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!
Having had a few ‘doggie hotels’ the past 18 years. It’s always so hard to find one that can accommodate my beautiful pampered boys! But Pooches was without a doubt one of the best. A home away from home. All 3 were taken good care of and treated like family. What more can you ask for. Regular contact too and superb setting. I think they had a better holiday that I! Thank you Simon and the team 🙌
The 5-star hotel your dog wants you to choose! Amazing place! Our two border terriers have stayed at Pooches a couple of times now and Simon takes exceptional care of them. The place itself is beautiful - think boutique hotel - and the dogs have free roam of the whole house and garden, with multiple comfy beds, chairs and sofas all over the place to lounge and sleep on. There’s even a seafront balcony where they can chill out and watch the waves and the world go by. Simon is a really lovely guy; very friendly and welcoming and with a great sense of humour. His love and passion for all the dogs in his care is clear from the get-go. He made us feel comfortable and confident in him and his hotel right from the very first messages we exchanged. He sends you plenty of pics and vids every day showing what a wonderful time your dog is having so you never once have to wonder what they’re up to and if they’re ok. I was hesitant at first to leave our two at a dog hotel/boarding place because they can be a bit cranky around other dogs but I needn’t have worried. Simon really knows and understands dogs and our two got on totally fine - they came back home absolutely knackered from all the fun they’d had and we really noticed an improvement in their behaviour and attitude around other dogs since their stay. I wish I’d booked them in sooner! If you want five star luxury accommodation where your pup will be treated like royalty (of course you do) don’t hesitate to check them into Pooches Hotel - your dog will thank you for it!
We couldn't have asked for better care for our dog Arnie whilst we were away for a few days. Simon adores all the dogs that stay with him at his wonderful place. His Casa has a huge outdoor space for dogs to sniff and play, a swimming pool and all the comfortable sofas a dog could wish for. Simon regularly sent videos and photos of Arnie and pals living a life of luxury at the pooch hotel. Simon is a genuinely caring person. Arnie would love to stay with him again! See you next time lots of love, Arnie, Rach & Jill xxx
Highly recommended! Simon is great and kept us informed all day about how our dog was doing. If you want a five star stay for your pet, this is the place!
Absolutely amazing. We and our 4 legged King-of-the-house whippet were welcomed into a warm, comfortable and cosseting home. Simon is the kind of person you meet and can’t help but feel immediate relaxed around and confident that your precious family member is in the right place. Simon’s love and passion for what he does shines through and I am so happy we found Pooches Hotel.
Absolutely amazing place, Mirabell our afghan and Kiara our landseer was fully enjoyed all the time there, and as I see all dogs was very happy there :) The owner also is a very nice and friendly person. All dogs had a really good and friendly relation with him. Also you can connect the stay with a "dog wellness " They have the best groomering service with the best groomer in the island, Dorotthy, she's very nice and professional. We are regular clients. We really advice this hotel.
Best dog hotel ever. Simon is that perfect person you would always like to care of your baby. My Katniss likes him a lot and she was always looking happy in all of videos and pictures he sent to me. 1000% recommended.
Our very introverted old Maltese stayed at pooches hotel for the day. We were all made to feel at ease, and its clear that the pooches are treated with love and respect, with the freedom to roam free. Simon has created a relaxed vibe. Totally recommend
Absolutely Amazing! We have been using Pooches for 3 years and we wouldn’t leave our dog anywhere else. From the moment you walk in you are greeted like family by Simon who takes impeccable care of all the doggies. The dogs have free rein of the hotel and it is all so comfortable. Previously we had to use kennels and they were so soul-less and the carers weren’t invested in the well-being of the dogs. Whereas Simon brings his own pizazz to the place and treats each dog as if it were his own. It comforts us to receive pictures and videos of our dog whilst we are away!
I was on a holiday in Mallorca with my little princess Amber. After having heard of Simon's luxury dog hotel, I knew my girl had to experience it for herself! Simon was very friendly, a few days leading up to our visit, he communicated everything that we needed to know. He was very gracious and accomodating, making me really feel at ease leaving Amber in his loving care for the day. I was updated through videos and I can see how Amber settled in really quickly! Simon's home looked fabulous and the view from the window was amazing! Such a cozy place to spend time in, very lucky pups! Muchas Gracias, Simon! Until our next visit in Mallorca! xx
Once again I have left my Paralympic crazy with Aunt Vivi. Great as always, she requires more special care and they are always very attentive and careful with her. Thank you so much
Simply a 10. What they do in this daycare is a vocation. I always have problems leaving my dog with anyone because it is very difficult for him to socialize with unknown people (he gets aggressive) and with dogs it is even worse. Well, she without any problem told me to bring him that she deals with aggressive dogs and just like that, my dog as if I had known her all my life. In addition, he has kept him in a separate place from the other dogs, he has tried to socialize him, he has played with him, he sleeps indoors every night, if you don't have food they give it to him, he shows you videos and photos during his stay there... It's tremendous! 😍 I'm super happy. I recommend this nursery 100%, I found it by chance and it has been the best success. Thank you very much Vivi!! ❤🥰🥰🥰
Great experience in the ark after 4 days out of the city. We left 2 dogs and we couldn't be happier! Viviana and the rest of the team were great with both of them, adapting to each one's needs. The oldest received special care and the youngest enjoyed it like no one else! In addition, they sent us audios and photos so we were very calm. Without a doubt a 10! We will repeat again
I have been a customer for more than a year, and I know that Milo is in the best hands. Great professionals, with excellent treatment for animals. Anyone who knows me knows that I wouldn't leave Milo there if it weren't like that. He is happy and I am calm. I have also recommended many colleagues and I think they all think the same because they continue to use their services.
Our dog finds it difficult to be alone and needs a lot of activity so it is not easy to leave him with friends. At Aunt Vivi's Ark we found the perfect place for him. He is with other dogs and they take good care of him. He spent 5 days there when we went on a trip and now we take him sometimes when we are away all day. A salvation. Thank you
It's the place where I leave my furry friend whenever I need him. They have a very large space and you can see the love they have for animals. It is a more "hippie" "canine hotel", more "from home". The animals are loose and playing with each other. In summer they fill a pool and you can swim there. My furry friend is quite grumpy and not very sociable and there he has managed to be with other dogs so calmly. 100% recommended.
We have left our pet Rocco for a few days!!! And we are very happy for the treatment and care you have had. They sent us photos of our dog every day which gave us a lot of peace of mind on our vacation. The environment where they are is ideal and you can see the affection they have for our pets. We had to change our return a few more days and it wasn't a problem. We picked up Rocco in very good condition!!! Thank you very much and we will surely repeat!!!!!
What a beautiful initiative, its owner Viviana Bellini is a being of light!!
I just picked up my 4 loves after spending 8 days under the care of Aunt Viví. They were happy and returned happy. They sent us photos and videos and we were calm at all times because they were in the hands of professionals. Thank you for taking care of my dogs. A hug. I recommend them 200%
It has been lucky to know Tia Vivi's Ark. We were able to leave our pet in a home and with freedom of movement. They had recommended it to us and it has been great. We have been informed all vacation about how our dog was doing with messages and photos. They have returned it to us clean and in good condition. You can see the love they have given him. Thank you so much.
We are very grateful for Daniela's treatment of our puppy Brut. He has been very pleasant at all times. He attended to us super quickly and did us a great favor with a few days notice. At all times he informed us how the dog was doing and sent us photos. We picked him up more handsome than he arrived. Highly recommended!!!
We don't ask to be happier with Daniela's treatment of Romeo!!! Without a doubt I would recommend her a thousand times, you just need to see how happy Romeo is when he sees her, thanks to everyone Dani♥️
We are very happy with Daniela!! She takes great care of Bella, we left her for a week and every day she told us how she was doing and showed us a video of the dog. When I picked it up it was great. We will definitely repeat it again. I recommend it 100% Thank you very much Daniela!!
I add my dog Darsi to Daniela's fan club, thank you very much!
Daniela is a charming girl. I left my dog with her, and she was delighted with her every day, seeing her happy made me even more so. Highly recommended service, we will repeat without a doubt
We have a puppy and an unforeseen event arose and we had to look for emergency day care. We ended up finding Daniela, who despite being hasty, did us a favor. We were worried because it was the first time we left him in a daycare, but he reassured us a lot since he sent us videos and photos every day he was with them. He seemed super happy with the other dogs and we were very happy! Plus he returned it to us clean and it smelled great. We will repeat without a doubt!
My dog, Once, loves Daniela. When he sees her, he goes crazy with joy and doesn't stop kissing her. This is enough for me to know that she also pampers him and treats him well when she has him in her care. An animal does not lie, it does not pretend; He tells the truth with his behavior. I leave him with complete confidence knowing that he is in good hands. Furthermore, as a person Daniela is very kind, calm and happy. A pleasure to communicate with her. Always available to help with anything I ask about the dog: food, giving him medicine when he is sick, sending me photos, etc. Thank you, Daniela!
Daniela is great!! With her my dog feels at home, she sends us photos often and she is a sweetheart!
She is an excellent person with a lot of love and respect for animals, she always takes good care of my babies and I am always calm when I leave them in her care. This girl is highly recommended.
Daniela is a great caregiver, very affectionate and very kind, Storm and Firu were delighted and we were even more so!
