Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
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.
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
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!
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!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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!
Both our elderly cat and dog stayed at Cove Kennels and Cattery mid to end of August. We were nervous as, our pets are elderly, both required medications and both had additional needs and challenges. Our cat had only once stayed in a cattery, but only when young and with another cat, and our dog had never experienced Kennels before. We need not have worried however, as they were both looked after and cared for exceptionally well (and if they had a vote, they would have likely chosen to stay on longer). Claire and Trevor were both lovely and it is evident that they deeply care for the animals entrusted to them. We loved the option of visiting without an appointment clearly indicating for us that all is well throughout the day. We will definately be returning again and so glad we have now found Cove Kennels and Cattery. Not enough 'Thank yous' can be said.
Reconnaisance visit prior to booking my dog in. Claire and Trevor really friendly and kennels are clean and comfortable. All dogs in residence seemed happy and well cared for. Am doing a trial 2 nights before the main stay so that she will know I'm coming back. Fingers crossed it will all go well🤞 …
Cove kennels has a lovely environment which is run by caring people .My dog has been going there for a few times and i don't have any worries as i know he is taken care of in the same way as in a home environment. I recommend this establishment to everyone.
Came highly recommended by friends and certainly did not disappoint.. Marley was very nervous.. this was his first time away.. he came back immediately settled... Thanks Cove
I recently had the pleasure of my cat being a guest at this cattery,it was my first time putting my pet in someone elses care.I can highly recommend them as they excel on every level.The cattery itself is well thought out and clean it has very nice surroundings.When i collected my cat it was relaxed and happy.Many thanks for looking after Miggins.
We always love bringing our dogs here because we know that they are well looked after!
We arranged for our dog to stay at Cove kennels whilst we got married in Hastings. What a wonderfully warm and welcoming set up! Our dog was well looked after. We'd highly recommend.
Lovely setting for a kennels with its own land including woodlands. The couple who run the kennels really care about each dog/cat and listen to individual needs. We particularly liked that none of the dogs are mixed at any time. They get their own allotted time for the outside secure run, 2 walks and their own kennels (obviously) which is heated as required and always kept clean. Our dog always comes back happy, clean and well exercised from a stay at the kennels. I cannot recommend this place enough!
Friendly staff, well maintained facilities, fair prices, convenient location. Scooby, my Chocolate Labrador always comes home happy and healthy!
Dropped of our 2 dogs this the third time thay have been there thay love it there always so helpful catered to there need all ways come back so happy
