Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

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!
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
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.
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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!
I’m so happy to have found Bertie & Friends. Emma is lovely, and really cares for the dogs she looks after. She really saved us when we needed somewhere for our dog, Lola, after being let down by a previous daycare. Lola has been a regular visitor ever since and is always super excited to see Emma!
Emma is an amazing dog sitter. Our dog Lola has been going to Bertie and friends since January. Every-time we drop her off she pulls us to the front door with a very waggie tail! The dogs go on lovely country walks and are very well looked after.
Emma has been looking after Lola during our absence for about three years. We have been and are very happy with Emma’s care and love for Lola and we would recommend her Emma is a caring and great person and adores her little fury clients and we would always have her to look after Lola. Who be adores going there
The best doggy day care ever. Betsy our Frenchie has been going since she was a pup 🐶 and loves it. I never have to worry when she goes and I get pupdates and know that Betsy is well look after. Bertie and Friends are amazing and if I could give more stars ⭐️ I would. Thank you for looking after Betsy so well, we are so grateful xxx …
My little cockapoo has been with Bertie & Friends for a number of years and still gets excited whenever I drop him off! I know that he will be loved and cared for in the same way as I do and he will also have lots of fun and exercise with his doggy friends … what more could you ask for 🙂 …
Absolutely amazing care taken of our gorgeous girls.. Bertie & Friends is like being at home for them.. They always come home tired and happy.. Both our girls have some separation anxiety and the love and patience Emma & Martin have shown, has been above and beyond.. We cant recommend them highly enough.. If there were 6 stars, we would give it.. 🌟
I use Bertie & Friends to look after my lab when I have to work. Emma is fantastic! Milly is a very nervous dog so it’s always a very anxious time for us both but Emma takes this in her stride perfectly. She puts both me and Milly at ease and I am in no doubt that Emma gives her as much love, attention & affection as she gets at home! I really wouldn’t send Milly anywhere else!
Our Tibetan Terrier has been going to Bertie and friends since September. He absolutely loves it. He can’t get out of the car quick enough. Emma sends regular updates on his day. I would highly recommend if anyone needs their fur baby caring for this is definitely the place for you.
Emma is the only person we trust to look after our Rosie. She loves going to Emma so much that she actually gets excited when she realises we're driving the route to Emma and Bertie's. All of the dogs in her care are treated as if they were her own and you can tell she absolutely adores each and every one of them. We love Bertie & Friends!
Highly recommend Bertie and friends, our dog Harley had a wonderful day there and met plenty of lovely and friendly dogs and was given outstanding service throughout his time there.
We cannot thank the team at Tarbay Kennels enough for looking after our dog. Always a concern leaving them for any length of time in kennels, however we shouldn’t have been concerned. She bounded in on dropping her off and on collecting her we were told she was very well behaved, liked by the team and looked so happy. Finally we’ve found somewhere she, we and the team work well together. Thank you all so much
Very nice rural place. Collecting my daughters dog after a few days' stay. Very nice and efficient service. Dog appeared well kept and clean, and his usual happy self. My daughter has herself made very good comparisons to other places. I think she plans to use it again when the need arises.
Brilliant people working here and very respectful we went on holiday and left our dog in there care the dog didn’t even want to come home they were that fun for her she loved every minute and would 100% come back again.
I've trusted them with our dog for about ten years now. He is happy and it's very secure with lots play for him
My cat Lillibet loves going to have her holiays at Tarbay. She is calm and content when I collect her and she enjoys the routine there. I know this because she sets their timetble for me when she gets home!
Thank you for taking care of my cat. I was very afraid that Zuzia would not cope in the new place, but you assured me that after two days she would get used to the new place. Zuzia became more cuddly and calmer. Thank you for your dedication and we will definitely come back with the kitten if necessary.
WHEN YOUR DOG GETS UWELL DURING HIS TARBAY STAY. Absolutely outstanding service from the Tarbay team. Any of our animals can take unwell at anytime wether home or away. Tarbay acted promptly and updated us immediately on our dogs burst anal gland (sorry for the grosse read) could happen to any animal. We were due to fly home the next day but Tarbay were concerned the area may get infected and he could be in slight pain. They phoned us abroad and drove our dog to our preferred vets and he received treatment immediately. Constant updates and so much care and attention from Tarbay. We have been using Tarbay for around 5 years regularly now for our 2 dogs who run in tails wagging so excited to be with their Tarbay buddies. We have never encountered a vet visit before but we feel so happy to know our animals are in absolutely safe care and the love and compassion from Tarbay for our animals is their number 1 priority. Thank you Tarbay.
We recently boarded our dog on the weekend with them and it was really positive experience. The dogs are well take care of as there's a daily schedule full of activities and our puppy was looking so happy and relaxed when we picked her up. To make things even better the price is really affordable and they also have day care options. The only downsize is that it's quite far from the city center but that shouldn't be a problem if you have a car.
Our border terrier loves going to Tarbay! I always used to have a residual worry that he wouldn’t have fun in kennels but he bounds into Tarbay wagging his tail. He clearly is a very happy dog there. I’ve just had a brilliant conversation with Tarbay again today when I was booking him in for another stay - when they found out it was Hector their reaction was wonderful (“we love Hector!”) It makes it so much easier to leave your dog in kennels when the staff clearly adore your dog! Highly recommend them!
There's nothing more heartwarming and delightful than a smiling dog, and Tarbay Centre is definitely doing a phenomenal job on keeping our beloved pets smiling...5 stars!
Thank you Shannon and team for offering such a great service. We love Pets Windsor are always happy to help, flexible and brilliant with our dog. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
We Love Pets - Windsor are amazing! I would be truly lost without them. Such a brilliant service. Dog walkers are all very professional. Shannon is just fab! They really put my mind at ease.
They simply do not answer! And this after multiple emails and online enquiries. Not very professional, wouldn't recommend even trying to contact them, they will probably just ghost you. The sad part is that the only reason I decided to enquire was because I had met one of their dog walkers while out with my dog, and, when I asked for her contact details, she said she was not able to give those to me since she had signed a contract with this We Love Pets company and was legally unable to give me her details for dog walking and sitting services. Bit cheeky if you ask me... I needed a dog walker since my previous one moved away, and I immediately had a great rapport with the young lady I met, so hoped that if I booked in with the company, I would be able to book in with that dog walker. I've since forgotten her name, but I hope that if she sees this she'll reach out! Long story short, don't bother with this company. Much better private alternatives out there that actually answer!
Such a great team! Marlo loves all the ladies that come to walk her. They show her so much affection and she always has post walk zoomies :-)
Shannon is amazing with our dog. She’s reliable and easy to contact. Would definitely recommend.
Claire is brilliant. The dogs loved her and she provided photos of her walks. Barbara Goldie
Our dog has a lovely time with the walkers and is always excited to see them!
Really helpful owners easy to work with. Know my animals will be looked after when I'm away.
Caroline from Minding Pets looks after our elderly deaf cat when we are away and it gives me peace of mind knowing that Caroline cares for our cat as if he was her own. She provides regular updates and contacts us with any concerns about his health or behaviour. We would highly recommend her.
Caroline was great. She kept my cat happy and healthy. Well recommended.
Caroline is conscientious, reliable and trustworthy. She is very caring and we always felt confident with her looking after our pet. Would highly recommend her. She loves what she does...
Caroline is a wonderful carer for my darling Mogie Maisie. As a rescue cat, Maisie is very timid with most people, but she loves Caroline, who looks after her as I do. Caroline is always available whenever I have to go away on business and I can absolutely rely upon Caroline to look after my darling Maisie. What a gem you are!
Caroline is reliable, trustworthy and my dog really enjoyed her walks with her canine buddies. Caroline is easy to contact and happy to assist with little notice and is highly recommended.
Caroline looked after my yorkie/shitzu cross Benjy from a puppy for his first year or so whilst I was at work. Caroline would pop in and take him out for a 15 minute walk before I came home for lunch. I now work from home a lot so her services are not required but I can honestly say Caroline was reliable, honest and great with Benjy, I’m sure he misses her!!!
Caroline was fabulous with our two dogs and they loved her for their daily walk. She is very kind and gentle with them. Would definitely recommend.
Caroline has fed our cat many times and always gives a great service!
I didn't receive a reply to 2 emails and a text message, not confidence inspiring when it's people that you are trusting with your pets and in your home
