Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Nia is a wonderful sitter - punctual, considerate, caring, and tidy, and also a lovely person, who I enjoyed spending time with before and after the sit. While I was away Nia sent photos and videos of my cats Tommy and Arthur every day, with witty updates and observations on their personalities and behaviours, and it was obvious that they adored her. Arthur has a mild neurological problem, so it was particularly reassuring to know that Nia feels especially connected to animals with specific physical or emotional needs, and knowing this contributed hugely to my peace of mind while I was away. I have no hesitation in recommending Nia as a sitter.
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.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
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!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.
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!
A very caring and professional service from both Sophie the business owner and Jackie who my dog boarded with recently (as well as her own lovely dog who mine adored staying with). I was able to relax on holiday knowing he was been cared for well and the stream of photos of him enjoying his time was very reassuring to me. Sophie took a lot of time to understand our situation and requirements and found us a great match in Jackie. Thank you We Love Pets Eastbourne. We'll be back!
Hi Sophie, we would like to say a big thank you to Julie and we love pets. Zuzu was obviously well looked after and had an enjoyable time with Julie and her family. We love the photos we were sent - it gave us peace of mind seeing Zuzu so content. Zuzu has settled well back at home, a bit quite and tired yesterday, but last night went straight to her crate to sleep. Her routine did not get disturbed during the stay over. Please pass on our thanks and we will be back in touch to rebook. Ellie and Zuzu
Signing up with Sophie and the team at We Love Pets and Eastbourne, has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. It is such a relief knowing that my Alfie is taken such good care of when I’m not around for work or at big events where dogs unfortunately aren’t allowed. He is my world so I spent a lot of time researching and interviewing local dog carers. As soon as Sophie walked in I knew she was the one. Professional, knowledgeable, experienced and of course a lover of dogs, her and her wonderful, vetted and accommodating team have been a real god send. They take genuine care of Alfie, sending me pictures and videos of him having fun when I am away for work, which makes my day! Alfie loves going for walkies, spending time with Sophie, Melissa and Rebecca, and even the odd doggie friend, which he loves. It really is a weight off my mind. If I could give 10 stars I would! Jane 🐶💛
We used We Love Pets and Sophie for the first time to look after our puppy for 4 days. From the first contact is was excellent, she visited with her colleague Melisa to learn what we wanted and interact with the puppy. When we went away the handover was easy and our puppy had the best time! On return Melisa had left our house spotless and a very tired and happy puppy !!! Thank you both, we could not recommend more highly.
Sophie has provided a fantastic service for our mini schnauzer Alfie ….we have Rebecca walking him and Julie boarding him in her home for us. They are lovely caring people and cannot recommend them highly enough.
I am so grateful - Sophie was looking after our budgies while we’ve been away. She has done amazing job and was very helpful. Thank you Sophie! We gonna recommend your service to all our friends.
We had the wonderful Melissa looking after our three cats for three weeks in July-August ('22) and we really couldn't have wished for a better experience! She kept us updated on WhatsApp with photos and the cats were evidently very well looked after - even the most shy of the three warmed to her, which was lovely. She also looked after the plants, the posts, and if anything the house looked better when we came back than when we left. Such a relief to have a kind, trustworthy person looking after our four-legged family members, can't sing her praise highly enough. Thank you Melissa, and thank you Sophie for a superb service throughout from We Love Pets :) xx
We are in Eastbourne attending a family funeral, and were unable to leave our dog at home, so looked for a home boarding service locally. Thankfully we found We Love Pets Eastbourne who weren't able to provide home boarding, but we're able to provide a sitter at the house for the duration of the funeral and the wake. Sophie is so kind and yet totally professional, and Kiera, who looked after Ruby whilst we were away is the sweetest person, and was put completely at ease with regards to leaving our third "child" with her immediately. I can't thank Sophie and Kiera enough, and based on my interactions with them, I would recommend We Love Pets Eastbourne without a moment's hesitation. Thank you for making an emotional day so much more bearable.
Highly recommend Sophie! Had a family emergency and as we are not local to the area, we were in desperate need of help. Sophie came to our rescue! Approachable, friendly, accommodating as well as being thorough.
Sophie and her team are incredible! They have looked after Archie, my chocolate Labrador puppy since he came home with me and he absolutely adores them! I trust them implicitly to take care of my baby and they have been great with advice and support to this first time dog Mum! I cannot recommend them highly enough and there is a big 'paws up' from Archie too!
Terrific service from Daisy. Chata, our pug is always happy to be there for nails to be clipped , day care or a few days boarding. Daisy understands those in her care and has a calming way with them. Chata always comes home happy and we never have any concerns when she is at The Dog House.
A brilliant service very knowledgeable and the dogs are so happy.
Recently I was diagnosed with Ramsey Hunt Syndrome and had to rest for several weeks. Danni from We Love Pets, took over the care of my elderly horse while I recovered enough to get back on my feet. Unfortunately, my illness coincided with moving him to a new home. Danni went above and beyond to ensure that he settled well and sent me regular photographs and updates to give me peace of mind. It’s been a long journey for me and Danni still helps me out each week, so I don’t have to go every day. I also hired Danni as a chauffeur for my dogs at my wedding. She went to my home and dressed them in their wedding attire, before bringing them to the venue. All I had to do was walk down the aisle and give them a cuddle 🥰 and have photographs with them. Danni oversaw their care and kept them safe for me 😎
