Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
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 🐈⬛❤️
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!
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
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!
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!
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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!
Julie has looked after my dogs once a week for over 8 years. She is really caring and knows and understands my dogs individual idiosyncrasies! She provides excellent value for money, is flexible with my shift changes and always there when needed. My dogs have stayed overnight on some occasions and it is so reassuring to know they are being cared for by Julie in her caring home environment.
Julie has looked after our Labrador since she was 12 Weeks old, taking great care of her 3 days a week whilst we were working, now retired our Lab still stays with Julie on odd occasions. We would not put her anywhere else, as Julie treats her like a family member. Our Lab has stayed with Julie whilst we were working and when we have travelled abroad, being with other dogs in her home, has I believe greatly improved her socially with other dogs.
Have been using Dogs Vacation for a number of years now for long stays & shorts stays. Our two Labs love Julie & her place. As soon as we pull up in the drive way they know where they are & cant wait to see her and all the other dogs that Julie looks after. While we are away Julie keeps in contact & sends us whats app pictures & videos of our two labs having fun or just sleeping after a busy day. Such a nice touch to recive a picture or video of the boys while we are away. Julie thanks for taking such great care of our two Labs. From Stuart, Kelly, Max & Charlie
My Jack Russel has recently stayed with Julie for our annual 2 week summer holiday. This was the 1st time he’s been away this long so naturally I was a little worried. Julie put my mind at rest with sending regular pictures & updates on how he was & what he’d been up too. Julie is a lovely person, with plenty of dog knowledge & I left feeling confident that he was in very safe hands.
Julie regularly looks after my dogs. She is incredibly caring with the best interests of the dogs in her care at all times. They love going to Julie's and I can see they are having great fun by the photos she sends me. I trust Julie implicitly with my gorgeous boys and wouldn't want them going anywhere else.
Julie has been looking after Pepper, our Labradoodle when we go on holiday for the last 4 years. We have always been very confident that Pepper is well looked after, we get regular update and photos of her playing in the garden with the other dogs and she is always tired and happy when we pick her up. Couldn't ask for more for your dog.
Skip our lively labradoodle has been holidaying with Julie for 13 years. She's always excited to see her and comes home looking very smart after an expert groom. Julie is a thoughtful and caring host and we have complete faith in her. Highly recommended.
We were lucky to find Julie over 10 years ago for our terrier Roxy and have benefitted from her professional, passionate and personal care ever since, both with her and another of her hosts when she was full. She now looks after Roxy and her daughter Coco and my mum’s saluki Tessy regularly and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her. She is good value for a proper home experience for the dogs, regular exercise, cuddles and medication administration when needed, so our minds are at rest when we are away, especially for Mum who’s Tessy is of a nervous nature. Julie is friendly, efficient and very knowledgable and the quality of her care is excellent.
Alfie has been to Julie since we adopted him 10 yrs ago. He loves going to see her and play with the other dogs. Home from home, loads of affection, walks in the country, lovely garden to play in and competitive prices. Alfie also has regular baths at Julie's and comes home happy and smart. Would not go anywhere else.
My 7 year old dog has been going to Julie's since a puppy. He is always well cared for and I go on holiday knowing he is in safe hands. I especially like the fact he is in a home environment rather than a kennels.
I could not recommend Chris enough. He went above and beyond for Millie, I received daily updates and consider Chris a friend now. Millie came back more confident and knowing my dog as I do, I can tell she had a better holiday than me. I cannot wait to use Chris’s services again, honestly couldn’t recommend enough. The quality of his services is priceless.
Chris and Norfolk Home Dog Boarding provided excellent care and attention for our elderly Clumber Spaniel, Hazel. The boarding is home from home and Chris provided super care and attention for Hazel's medical needs. We were so pleased to find NHDB and would have no hesitation in recommending them. Hazel enjoyed her 'holidays' with Chris and Ruth over the summer of 2022 but has now sadly left us. Thanks again for all you did for Hazel.
Absolutely fantastic! Loki loves ‘going on holiday’ with Chris! And I love knowing that my boy is in good hands, has fantastic walks to lots of different locations, get regular updates whilst I’m away and generally have a very happy (and sleepy) hound to come back to! Can not recommend highly enough!
Chris at Home Dog Boarding is quite literally a life savor! My relatives in Kings Lynn have 2 standard poodles who they love more than life itself. When they had to go to the hospital with an emergency, I googled and found and cold called Chris at 6am from the US to ask if he could possibly watch their dogs for a few hours or days (TBD). Not only did he say yes, but he made it to their house within 30 minutes of my call, brought the dogs to his home, made 2 visits to their veterinarian to pick up meds and get instructions (one of their pups has seizures), and is keeping them for 5 days! His stepping up in the clutch enabled my family to prioritize their health without worrying about their beloved dogs, and prevented the dogs from any harm from being left alone. Chris is a gem, I’ve spoken to him several times and he has been beyond responsive, compassionate, responsible, and kind. I honestly can’t find the words to thank him right now! ( incidentally, we live in the United States and I have two dogs ourselves, whom we leave in the care of others when we travel. It’s very difficult to find trustworthy, dependable, compassionate folls who will love and take care of your dogs as you do. Chris is a gem to be treasured by any who need assistance with their dogs in the Kings Lynn area.
Would never take my Labrador any where else. Chris is a top man who contantly reassures you and keeps you up to date when you leave your pet with him. My lab is always happy to stay and always looks happy when I pick him up.
Charlie my labrador, loves his time here and I am really grateful to Chris for looking after him so well for over 5 years now. When I am away I can totally relax knowing Charlie is happy and in safe hands.
We’ve used Chris for many years and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Excellent, professional and friendly service that gives us real peace of mind while we’re away.
Great care taken of my dog at very short notice. Would recommend
Bad service.We left our dog for the first time and our last time.Our dog left the place scratches and cuts from other dogs,smelling.Were not happy Norfolk Home Dog Boarding
Very friendly service & professional staff
Our lovely Milo has just enjoyed another two week stay and looks like he’s had great fun at Two Acre Kennels. He always gets very excited when he is on route there and they look after him and all the other furry guests so brilliantly. They …
My border collie, strolls in without looking back. And is not in a rush to leave, which tells me she is happy. Seems well looked after
Once again a great stay with Two acres. Can't recommend them highly enough!
