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!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
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.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
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.
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
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.
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!
My girls have just had another wonderful holiday with Katie. They missed their doggie friends and lovely walks when they came home. Katie is a gem and it’s a truly home from home for little dogs with lots of love and attention. Highly recommend NFDS and we are certainly pleased we found you.
Katie at New Forest Dog Sitters is brilliant. We used her services twice whilst on holiday - the second time was during our wedding. She is friendly, helpful and great with animals. You trust her immediately. Our dog had a great stay with her & came home to us happy after lots of great walks. Would highly recommend
Our two chihuahuas have just come back from a trial night of 'doggy boarding'. Katie was so kind and caring, you could tell she really loves dogs. They are definitely treated as part of the family. My two soon settled in and looked happy and relaxed this morning when I came to collect them. I'd highly recommend Katie. She really knows her stuff regarding doggy fur babies and I'm so happy I can have worry free holidays in future.
Katie is so friendly and kind, I have absolute confidence in leaving my dog with her, It is a lovely home from home setting, and I can feel reassured that my dog is being really well looked after, and even get updates with photos while I am away. I would thoroughly recommend New Forest Dog Sitters and will certainly be using them again.
Katie is brilliant with our dog. Our dog goes to NFDS on a regular basis for daycare and absolutely loves socialising with her pawfriends, having two walks a day and lots of attention. I’m so glad I found Katie to look after our dog - she is so trustworthy and put my mind at rest with leaving our dog for the first time. I would recommend NFDS for looking after your small four legged members of the family!
We left our two pups with Katie for two weeks and they had a great time! Katie took them on lots of interesting walks and sent photo updates to us so that we were assured that all was well. The dogs were happy and healthy on our return and we could tell that they had been very well looked after - not surprising as Katie is so warm and friendly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Katie and will defiitely be using her services again!
Katie looked after our puppy during the day twice whilst we were camping in the New Forest - this enabled us to go on days out where dogs are not welcome - such as a trip to Paulton’s Theme Park. She was very friendly and accommodating and our dog enjoyed lovely days with her. We would definitely use Katie again as our dog-sitter.
Katie and her family are simply wonderful. Our dog Morty is loved and cared for as if he was their own. He loves staying there for day care or overnights. We feel totally relaxed when he is their care. Absolutely recommended!
We left our dog Mia with Katie for the day whilst we were on holiday from Norfolk. Katie was amazing from start to finish spped of reply and helpfulness 2nd to none. On the day at drop off Katie made Mia so welcome and I felt 100% comfortable leaving her Mia was eating treats and getting lots of fuss she did not even look when I left. During the day Katie sent us pictures to update us and Mia had a 2 hr walk and was happily laying on the couch when I arrived to collect her. I would not hesitate to recommend Katie to any one she is totally amazing
Katie was absolutely fantastic! Our little sausage dog and Cavapoo clearly had a wonderful time, as when we picked them up the next day, they were very happy and relaxed. Katie was so lovely and kept us up to date with pictures.
Charlie looked after our two miniature dachshunds , Pablo and Tulip for 3 weeks. It was their first time having a sitter but I knew they were in safe hands. Charlie is very experienced and professional who kept me updated regularly with adorable photos of the dogs cuddled up with her on the sofa. I don’t think they missed me at all! I returned home to two happy dogs and a spotless, immaculate house filled with daffodils! I highly recommend Charlie and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you so much Charlie x
Charlie looked after our two dogs, six chickens, one robin and home for the first time recently but hopefully not the last! She coped brilliantly with our very difficult, nervy cocker, giving her time to get used to a new person and they were great friends by the end of the 2 day sit! I really hope she will be able to come and look after everyone again as we feel 100% confident and nothing is more valuable than that! Thanks Charlie xx
Charlie is AMAZING. She looked after our Bedlington Whippets Billy and Dolly so well, and they absolutely love her. Charlie kept us up to date with all their hilarious shenanigans while we were away, and it was so reassuring to know that they were being so well looked after. Not only that, but our house was spotless on our return which was such a bonus. If Charlie is available you should consider yourself very lucky and don't hesitate to book!
Not sure why we are doing this as we want her for our own and don't want to share her. Charlie has stayed numerous times....and is staying again next week. Always arrive home to happy contented cats and beautifully kept home, having been updated with lots of photos whilst away. A true pro.
Charlie took care of our house and cats while we were out of town, and did a fabulous job with both. Our cats loved her and we felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. They are fussy pets with distinctly different personalities and individual needs and Charlie provided excellent care. We came home to happy cats and a clean, well taken care of house. She is also a very pleasant person with great communication skills. We would absolutely seek out Charlie's services again!
Charlie is simply the most perfect housesitter. She came highly recommended by a friend. Charlie took the time to visit us before the house sit which we really appreciated as this involved a lengthy round trip. We were immediately impressed by her engaging, sincere and responsible manner. More importantly, our dog bonded with her straight away. Being a GSP, he is super sensitive, intuitive and since lockdown, particularly needy. Charlie’s paperwork was very professional and comprehensive. Whilst we were away she sent us frequent photos and updates to keep us in touch. She also made the effort to replicate our dogs routine by walking him with his canine mates which was much appreciated by them all. The house was immaculate on our return, even down to the laundry. We recommend her with absolutely no reservation. We really hope she will come again soon.
Charlie looked after our beagle and our home for eight days. We came back to a happy dog and an immaculate house. Charlie was professional, friendly, gentle and caring. She did a fantastic job. I would use her again and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Having Charlie come to look after our lovely British Shorthair boys was a great experience. I often feel nervous and guiltily about leaving the boys, but Charlie put my nerves at ease immediately. Communicating with Charlie was really easy and stress free. Charlie certainly must give off loving vibes to cats. Tony can be shy with new people and keep out of their way, however, he immediately connected with Charlie as shown by the photos I received of him cuddling up to her feet. I’d highly recommend Charlie to look after your adored animals and home.
Charlie is so lovely. She looked after our Cat Pickle and 2 chickens for a week while we were on holiday. She also looked after our home so well and kept it spotless. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone if you want someone to look after your home and pets while you're on holiday! Our Cat doesn’t do well staying in the cattery so Charlie is a godsend! We have Pre booked her in again for our 2 week holiday next year.
You'd be the luckiest if Charlie can sit for you! She is a great communicator, reliable, super-clean and tidy, and such a warm and lovely person. I felt so calm and reassured the entire time I was away, because Charlie made me feel like I had a good friend looking after my cat Elio - who took to her immediately and was relaxed and happy. She kept me updated and sent gorgeous photos of Elio regularly. Charlie was absolutely fantastic and took wonderful care of him and my flat. I honestly cannot recommend her enough, and will most definitely be a returning customer. Thank you so very much Charlie! <3
Ipetsit have been amazing. From the moment we met Karen we knew that she was the right person to look after our boy and they haven't once let us down. Baxter our 14 month old Labrador has been going now four days a week, for three months and the transformation in him has been truly brilliant and heartwarming. He was so shy when I first took him and it was hard to leave him, but Karen is so reassuring and professional. I could tell she knew what she was doing 100% and that made everything so much easier for me and within a matter of days maybe a week he was truly loving it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend ipetsit. The peace of mind I have when Baxter is with them is worth every penny.
Excellent facility, owned and operated on a 24/7 basis by a very knowledgeable lady. Would heartily recommend for your family dog.
We have been using i pet sit for our mini schnauzer Murphy since he was a puppy when we first moved to Salisbury 18 months ago and have never looked back since! Murphy absolutely loves spending time with the i pet sit pack and I think he would probably spend all of his time there if he could! He has built a lovely bond with Karen and it has become a home from home for him, which is so important to us, especially as he has quite bad separation anxiety. When I drop him off for the day he can't get through the door quick enough to meet the other dogs and I can always tell he's had a good day from the lovely updates and pictures I receive, as well as having a very happy dog when I collect him! I pet sit have always been really accommodating and have helped me out many a times at the last minute when I've needed doggy day care, especially when I went into hospital to have my son and had to stay in for a few days. I also work long shifts with early starts but never too early or a problem for I pet sit to collect Murphy at a convenient place for me, as well as offering longer hours so that I can pick him after work, which is a great help and I know Murphy is more than happy with this! I can't recommend I pet sit highly enough to anyone looking for a pet sitting service in the area, as you won't find a more friendly, caring and professional service. Murphy is a part of our family and there's nowhere else I would trust more to leave our dog in the care of. Thank you I pet sit, Murphy can't wait to come for his next play date! :)
I Pet Sit have literally transformed our experience of owning a dog. Not only is it our dog's favourite place in the world – and she comes back happy and tired – but we feel incredibly reassured when leaving her there, she's cared for incredibly well, they really take the time to get to know each dog and their personality, and they take safety extremely seriously. We couldn't recommend I Pet Sit any more highly.
Awful. I thought it was just my dog who came home terrified and very thin after being in her care for a week. I have since found that other dogs have had the same experience
