Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
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.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
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!
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
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!
Great place to exercise English setter with no recall, toddler granddaughter and complete couch to 5k at the same time. Beautifully conceived and looked after. What's not to love?
A last minute booking due to being let down at the last moment and what an amazing way for things to work out. The perfect place for leaving my guinea pigs. My only disappointment is I cannot give more than 5 stars. I would definitely recommend this place to other people and will definitely be using again in the future.
Just brilliant. Tracy cares about you and your dogs and does her best to accommodate. Fantastic place.
Great value for money, fantastic host. Our dog loves visiting here, lots for him to investigate and explore.
Absolutely love this place for my bunnies. Quick booking with a fast response to messages and good price.
Lovely. Looked after my rabbit while I went on holiday. Wouldn't go anywhere else
Very lovely lady runs a large fenced field well kept and secure
Abi is brilliant with all of the dogs in her care. Flossie loves it there, almost too much !
Excellent service and communication, helped out at very short notice. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for doggy care. Five stars Abi Huge thanks Garry /Keri / Lola & Rory 🐶🐶
I trust Abi to look after Clem. She takes time to get to know dogs. I can absolutely recommend Kea Canines.
Very friendly and personal pooch care, large secure garden, and nice long walks nearby.. Sasha is always happy here!!
Great place, Owner really cares about the dogs she looks after. Highly recommended.
Lovely lady. Helped us out last minute
Great service and run by the loveliest lady!
I love it because the dogs love it 🐶🐾 …
Rachel is absolutely amazing, she's looked after our pup poppy numerous times while my partner has been in hospital. To recommend Rachel totally, all I can say is poppy wants to go and say hello everytime we pass rachel's. Poppy has even spotted rachel's van in the village and gone and sat by her drivers door and not wanted to move till she saw Rachel.
Cannot recommend Rachel more highly. She is dedicated, knowledgeable and friendly. Our rescue springer Walter has benefited from spending time with Rachel and the gang and we always feel happy leaving Walter with Rachel.....he has so much fun we often wonder if he'll want to come home!
Rachel is so good with our dog! Magic is very happy staying with her.
Rachel looks after our dogs like her own couldn't ask for any better for them
Fantastic. Worth every penny.
Best service ever.
Thanks Nacho! Hope to see you again soon!
Jo and her husband Mike are very professional and clearly love what they do. All my three love her and say by the door as she went wanting to go out with her. Would highly recommend.

Our boys were in safe hands. We booked at very short notice and for the very first time on a recommendation. We were so relieved to see photos of our happy dogs running along a deserted beach. We have no hesitation in recommending.
Helston happy hounds is a great home from home boarding. Cocoa really came out of her shell and enjoyed all the doggie walks. Jo keeps you in touch with them through photos and updates so you know they are safe and well cared for whilst you are away. Now planning another short stay!

Louisa and Ric regularly take our dog out both for walks and for boarding when we our both away with work. Floss always looks forward to her walks and loves getting out with the other dogs. She always waits at the door when she hears the van pull up. Would definitely recommend.
We found Louisa at the last minute before going on our two week holiday and we are so glad we did. Louisa is a lovely lady who along with her partner look after the dogs in their care in a very professional way. Our dog was so happy and relaxed. We were worried about going and leaving her for the first time. We were updated with photos every day which made us happy. She was given so much TLC and when it was time to bring her home we felt a bit sad that they would miss her. We will certainly be taking our dog back for the odd weekend and have already booked our dog in for next year. Thank you Louisa.
What an amazing business Louisa is running. She’s so amazing with the dogs and is cautious and careful when out and about. The boarding she offers is nothing like a kennel, just like your dog going a spending time with another loving family when you’re away. She will send plenty of updates if that’s what you like too. 11/10.
