Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
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 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.
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!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
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!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
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!
Naomi's service has been a godsend to us after my husband suffered a stroke earlier this year. It has been a great help to know our dogs are looked after and walked. The dogs love going to the doggy day care 3 times a week .
We used Naomi when we visited Scotland for a few days and had our dog with us. He was only there a few hours but we could tell he was happy and had been busy has he slept all the way back!
Our gang of 4 cats Jack, Tink, Bella and Barney stayed with Laurie at Maple House Cattery just recently. The service we received and the care and attention my cats were given was just amazing from the start. Laurie has been extremely helpful and professional, inviting me to visit the cattery before booking to see the facilities and has been very understanding of everyones needs, including my own - THANK YOU!. Tink is a very nervous traveller (had a wee accident on route) and Jack requires medication twice a day but neither was a problem to Laurie who helped me clean Tink up on arrival and was more than happy to administer Jacks medication as needed. Bella was very nervous and stressed for the first day but Laurie soon had her coming out to say hello. We received an inital update and daily pictures, which was fantastic to see how well they were all settling in....some maybe enjoying the lovely cosy beds Laurie provides a little to much 😁. The cattery is kept impeccably clean. The facilities are new and warm with the cats getting out daily in a secure area for play time. We will most definitely call on Laurie at Maple House Cattery again and would without question recommended to anyone else looking for cat boarding facilities. We truly felt our cats were cared for and engaged with throughout their stay - this is not just your regular cat boarding facility! So thankful of your understanding through a difficult time for us and the time you have taken to look after our gang. Massive thank you to Laurie and all at Maple House Cattery 😻
Our boys had their first stay ever in a cattery. We are so glad that we chose Maple House. The boys settled in straight away and we were spoilt with photos & updates each day. Nothing was too much trouble for Laurie & we were very impressed with the cleanliness & warmth of the place. Can’t recommend them highly enough a safe & cosy home away from home.
We have used Maple House regularly since getting our (first) kitten and really feel like we have found the best we could have hoped for. Brilliant communication, always accommodating and plenty pictures and updates of play time. Can not recommend highly enough.
Had our cat Hamish stay here recently from Monday-Friday. Hamish was incredibly well looked after and Laurie kept us up to date regarding his eating etc. We also got plenty photos which was fab as we could see he was happy! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Very friendly service and nothing is too much hassle communication was great. The cattery itself is spotless and very well equipped and a fab size.
This was the first time I’ve ever put my fur babies into a cattery and I was slightly apprehensive 😕 But Maple house cattery didn’t disappoint and done a marvellous job caring and interacting with Grogu and Floki I highly recommend them and will certainly use them in the future 🥰 …
Laurie and her team are amazing. I needed my cat looked after whilst I moved and they were very accommodating. I got regular updates and pictures of him whilst he was in their care. Highly recommend and will use again. Thank you for taking such good care of my wee Mr T 🐈💕
Our cat loved her stay at Maple House and we couldn't recommend them enough! Not only did our cat have a fantastic time, but we really appreciated the updates and photos we received during her stay. Will be using Maple House again!
Our cat had a super stay at Maple House. We got regular updates on how she was settling in and the drop off and pick ups were very friendly. I would highly recommend Maple House. It is new, clean and fresh and the area your cat has to live in is very well equipped. 🐾 …
Our half Siamese cat who likes company and is very inquisitive was very happy at this fantastic Cattery. He received love and attention and was kept warm and snug in high quality modern cubicles. Angus was let out to play in two areas with cat tunnels and toys. The service and efficiency was excellent. We received WhatsApp posts with photos. There was even calm music in background ! I highly recommend Maple House and Angus will become a regular customer.
Maple House Cattery looked after our Zinc when we were away for a period of 3 weeks, from start to finish they were very informative, and kept us up to date mostly every day with pictures or information on how our cat was, which helped us both with being away for so long, we were so thankful. For future occasions we will most definetely be using their service and would recommend this 100% to anybody else thinking about it and willing to use this facility. No faults or complaints, we are both very appreciative of the time being taken to look after Zinc, A big thank you to Maple House Cattery.
We discovered this little gem of a place. Leaving my little 6 month old furbaby for the 1st time I was extremely worried she may fret or not eat but from day 1 Elaine put me at ease & kept me updated with messages and made my little Minnie part of the family showing her lots of love, attention & care. Elaine is such a lovely lady & it’s clear to see she loves her animals infact Minnie was reluctant to leave & tried to go back into her kennel. She’s came out happy & healthy & a little chubbier due to her gravy bone treats. I highly recommend & will be booking again for our next holiday. Thank you so much Elaine I felt like I left her with a family member.
Such a lovely lady, who clearly loves dogs. We had to attend a funeral in Galashiels at short notice and she kindly agreed to look after our dog while we were there. It’s not often you find such generous hearted people. She is a gem and I would highly recommend Arthurshiel Kennrls.
Had a great time with the kittens and looking at the cats. The staff were very helpful when asking any questions
Elaine is without doubt the best place to leave our dogs. They absolutely love to see her and dropping them off I know they are in safe hands, so no longer spend our holidays worrying about them as they've been coming for 5 years now. Darcey and Dakota always remember Elaine and maybe even sulk on coming home as she is so lovely!
Perfect place to leave my GSD, they know the breed and my boy is very well looked after. Totally recommend Arthurshiel if you want a professional kennel to look after your best friend.
Lovely staff and all the animals are really well looked after and loved. Came away with a lovely cat called Cheeky, she's beautiful x
Have used this place for several years now. Adequately priced. The dog seems to be well looked after. Will use again.
Elaine is a gem! My dogs were well looked after, so much so they were happy to go back! 😊 …
My dog is enjoying another stay there while I'm on holiday, always well looked after.
Having lost our 18year old cat and unsure whether to replace her with another moggie, we are being allowed to visit for cat cuddles anytime till a new fur baby comes into our lives!
Absolutely amazing. My dog Archie stayed with Borders Boarding for 11 nights and he absolutely loved the place and the staff. The grounds are lovely and peaceful, with beautiful walks, which suits Archie as he can be very nervous with loud noises. Very professional and take on board your dogs' needs. Archie suffers from elbow dysplasia and Neil, and the staff catered to Archies needs regarding his condition. I received daily updates and pictures of Archie which made my holiday more enjoyable knowing Archie was enjoying his holiday and being cared for like home from home. I will always use Boarders Boarding in the future and would definitely recommend it. Thank you for making Archie's holiday and mine enjoyable. I'm looking forward to sending Archie to you again.
We were extremely anxious knowing we had to find a Day and Night Boarding facility for our French Bulldog Puppy and were under no circumstances wanting to put her into kennels. We stumbled across Borders Boarding whilst googling local business and after a half day introduction, booked Bella in for Tuesday Boardings to begin with and get her use to being somewhere other than our home for the day. Bella settled in very quickly and both Neil and James have treated her as if she was their own. Bella had her first overnight weekend stay a few weeks ago and we received regular updates on her progress. Bella is very relaxed, calm and happy every time we collect her, on dropping off she knows the minute we get onto the sweeping drive up to the house where she is going and does a dance in her car seat, super excited. The Boarding facility is a home environment set in a tranquil, peaceful countryside setting which is perfect for Bella, I would highly recommend Neil and James at Borders Boarding to anyone who wishes home comforts and only the best care for their pooch
My boys loved staying with Borders Boarding. They felt right at home from the minute they walked in a real home from home. They had fantastic walks just outside the front door and even a stream to have a dip and with a nice warm place to dry out and sleep what more could they want. Did they miss us, not one bit.
My black lab enjoyed his stay, got on really well with their dogs. Felt really relaxed with picture & video updates throughout the week. Would definitely choose borders boarding as my dogs go to holiday place & highly recommend to anyone looking for a non-kennel stay as the stay is just like home. Thanks again and will definitely book him I on our next holiday abroad.
So pleased we found Borders Boarding. I personally didn’t want to put Bertie into a kennels as he is such a home boy. Borders Boarding offered Bertie a safe, home environment with an abundance of land for him to run around in and us piece of mind knowing he was happy and being so well looked after. I can’t recommend Borders Boarding enough and Bertie can’t wait to stay again.
My 2.5 Yr old labrador adored the 2 resident GSP's. Running and playing all day and snoring his head off in the evenings. I loved the updates and pics and we will be using Borders Boarding again. A knowledgeable and safe haven. Thanks 👍 …
Neil is fantastic with our 3-year old Airedale Terrier, who always has such a great time at Borders Boarding exploring the beautiful contryside and running around the garden with the other dogs. He is very accomodating of our dog's particular needs, such as his daily routine and dietary requirements - he really makes it a home away from home for him! I couldn't recommend Borders Boarding enough!
My 9 year old toy poodle had a great day with Neil at Borders Boarding. She got on great with the resident dogs and really enjoyed all the lovely outdoor space they have to run around in.
Absolutely wonderful people, couldn't fault them. Very friendly and very welcoming would highly recommend them :) Thanks for looking after rocky and I will defo bring him back
A great place for dogs and wonderful hosts to look after your pets!
Excellent kennels in a perfect countryside location. We've used Lesleys kennels for 13yrs as do our own family now too & always come home to happy well exercised dogs🐾 …
Our dogs love here, Lesley love and attention is 2nd to none as for the kennels the are absolutely spectacular and the freedom the dogs have is incredible.
First time we've used Lesley although some of our neighbours have been regulars in the past. Only a weekend away but our dog has come back unfazed by the experience - can't ask for more.
Lindsay lovely and dog very well looked after
Absolutely fantastic boarding kennels Lesley is very committed to providing 5 star care in a fantastic location
Have used these Kennels for years always a great service. The dog really seems to enjoy going there also.
The dogs are so well looked after and get lots of exercise
Excellent kennels
Thanks Adam
Thanks Keith
Our dog thoroughly enjoyed his day care stay here. I left him knowing he was in good hands and would be having the time of his life going on walks, socialising with other dogs and even meeting a tortoise and a llama! Thanks again Sheila for accommodating us at short notice - it really was appreciated.
