Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
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.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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!
They are really well organised and when I collected my Jack Russell he was in no hurry to leave. I was really happy about this that he seemed so at home there. I just called the phone number on the website and they really worked around my needs. I also really appreciated receiving emails whilst on holiday letting me know that Bosco was fine and happy. I highly recommended them. Thanks again and thanks from Bosco.
Left our two spaniels here for a couple of days so we could visit local attractions. Very tired happy dogs when we picked them up. Highly recommended.
We recently visited Cornwall on holiday and only realised last minute that we couldn't bring our dog Bertie along for lunch with us. Oliver was really quick at responding and was very flexible to our plans and time schedule. He kept us updated with how Bertie was getting on and he came back very happy and worn out from lots of play time and lovely walks! We were a little nervous as it was our first time leaving Bertie, but Oliver was so great and put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our afternoon off. Would highly recommend!
I would have no hesitation in recommending Oli and Waggers Pack. Oli has provided doggie daycare and doggie sitting services for us multiple times over 2 holidays in Cornwall for our 2 Cavapoos, when they were 6mth old and 14mth old puppies. Oli is professional, polite and very reliable. Always arrives/departs as scheduled. He is amazing with our dogs, one of which can be quite anxious, we could tell they had really bonded with him by the end of our stays. We will definitely be using Oli’s services again.
Oli is brilliant at his job and my dog loves him. He is really flexible and will walk my dog at short notice. They go on lots of different walks and my dog always comes back happy and tired. Would highly recommend.
Oli looked after Dotty our cocker spaniel today so we could go to The Eden Project. Dotty is quite shy but Oli was brilliant with her and gave us text updates and photos during the day. Dotty had a fantastic day and got to meet other dogs. She's fast asleep as I write this and very content. We'll be booking her in with Oli when we are back next year. Thanks Oli.
We recently visited Cornwall for our 1 year anniversary. We had a five night visit but the 1st night was a no dogs allowed as we were at a very posh restaurant. I contacted Waggers Pack 2 weeks before and struck up a text convo with Olly so I knew I could trust him. Wilbur our mini schnauzer is very nervous with others but he did love his time with Olly . Olly is the Dr Dolittle for dogs. I will always use Waggers Pack when looking for Wilbur cover. Nice one and thanks Olly. Marcus Millichope.
My dog Daisy really likes Oli and loves the long and varied walks. The dogs seem to have a really sociable, fun time and we love seeing the photos from the walks he posts every month or so. Great service, highly recommended.
We had a great experience with Wadebridge Waggers our dog was taken care off for us whilst we enjoyed a lunch with friends in Padstow. Our sitter arrived on time as requested and was very engaging and caring towards our Dog ,we have used this service before and would not hesitate to use again ,highly recommended.
Oli has been a life saver when my husband was injured and I was working in London, he took over their daily walks. The dogs love their walks with Oli who is always very professional and turns up as he says he will. I am very confident my dogs are in great hands. He also looks after my cat briliantly. Thanks Oli!
Oli is brilliant and just what your looking for. Our Holly goes to him for Doggy Day Care, and she cant wait. He really goes the extra mile, and will continuously recommend him to. Cheers Oli!
Oli is great with Poppy and she loves being out with all of the the other dogs. He is very efficient, well organised and flexible. Really like that he uploads photos of the dogs on their adventures. Would highly recommend.
