This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me 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!
Coreena looked after our dog, Bailey, today and he had a wonderful time. He got to have a day with a nice walk in the woods rather than stopping round the shops at the seaside and was made to feel at home for the day. Thankyou Coreena, would recommend to anyone!
When Stella first started going to Paws and Play she was a very timid 12 week old pup. Over the last year and a half I have watched Stella's confidence grow and I have Michelle to thank for it! Stella absolutely loves going to paws and play, in fact she drags me to her front door every time i drop her off! Michelle takes them on such lovely walks and has been amazing the whole time, offering so much advice on how we can help Stella. I honestly couldn't recommend her enough!
I cannot recommend Paws and Play enough. My 18 month old Cocker Spaniel literally pulls on his lead to get into Michelle’s - he loves it! His recall isn’t 100% so Michelle puts him on a long lead and he gets the best walks!
My 1 year old boy lochi has been going to paws and play now since he was 8 weeks old. He absolutely loves going to doggy day care and Michelle is amazing with him and he loves her and all his dog friends! Michelle is always willing to go above and behond. Highly recommended!
Took our Lab for a day as we were visiting some non dog friendly places. When she went back the day after next she couldn't wait to run down the path and into the garden as she had such a good time. Videos of her having so much fun were amazing too
Michelle came recommended to us and I am so glad we found Her. We booked our dog in for a few daycare sessions before leaving him for 3 weeks with Michelle, while away on holiday .. He was well looked after and looked like he had so much fun with the other dogs. Regular videos of their walks so we could see how he was getting on. Will definitely use Paws and Play for future holidays .
Can not recommend Michelle at Paws and Play enough! My Boxer Oscar started going to go day care there when he was a 5 month old puppy. Every time we pick him up at the end of the day he doesn’t want to leave, he loves it there! When we finally manage to get him in the car and home he is a very tired boy. The videos Michelle posts on social media just shows how much fun the dogs have. We wanted Oscar to get well socialised as a puppy and Paws and Play has definitely done this. Thank you Michelle. Xx
We found Michelle to loving and caring with the dogs in her care, it was the first time we had left our girls and they really enjoyed their holiday with her. It was so nice to know that the girls were really well cared for. Lovely walks in the woods,on the beach and moors. It was lovely to have this peace of mind,would certainly use Paws and Play again , would certainly recommend Michelle.
Paws and play was recommended to me and I'm so glad it was. We had a meet & greet and then we boarded Willow for 2 nights whilst we went away, this was the first time as 8 months old. Whilst away I could see pictures and videos of Willow enjoying herself having fun with other dogs, this gave me great reassurance she was having a ball. Michelle was great and I felt very much at ease leaving Willow in her care, Willow can't wait yo go again.
August 2021: We used Paws and Play for 2 days when we were on holiday in Cornwall, we couldn't have been more pleased - our dog had the time of her life with Michele and the other dogs whilst we had 2 dog free days at the beach. Highly recommend and we'll be back next summer. Update - August 2022: Back for a second summer. Winnie had 2 days with Michele at Paws and Play while we were on our mini-moon, she absolutely loves it there and we'll be back again in 2023!
When we received our rescue dog Beatrice back in February this year, Michelle welcomed her to her weekly routine of doggy day care! We seen Beatrice go from anxious dog to loving life at DDC. She helped Beatrice settle into life in the UK. Michelle and her experience is a must, if you are looking for some to help with your dogs behaviour.
I have just picked up my two Russian dwarf hamsters Willow and Peach after a weeks stay with Helen and her family and would highly recommend her for pet sitting. She went out of her way to make sure that my hamsters were well looked after and reassured me they were ok with updates when I needed them. They have both loved their stay with her and were very happy to be in her care. When we next go away on holiday I will definitely be using Helen again.
I was over the moon to hear about Doggies Day Out. I left my puppy Wilson with them while I went away for a week and I couldn't have asked for better care for him. To go away and know your dog is being treated like one of the family allowed me to relax and enjoy myself knowing that he was having a great time too. I would not hesitate in recommending Helen and her understanding, caring nature. Wilson loved her - I think he would have liked to stay for a second week!
We left our puppy Kobe with Helen for 4 nights and he was looked after superbly! We had regular texts and photos while we were away to keep us assured he was okay. Kobe was sick and had medicine which was no problem for Helen and she was very helpful. Would definitely recommend and use again!
Helen and her family take such good care of our Bailey. When we return, she is always out playing in the garden, happy as a lark. We feel so relaxed, knowing that our very active puppy is being so well cared for. They are a lovely family and very relaxed and you could not ask for more competent, reliable care. Bailey is smitten with their dog Toby. We feel very lucky to have found them!
My two rabbits enjoyed their stay with Helen and family. They were given a safe and caring environment to have their bunny holiday, and I would recommend Ginger and Saffron for small animal boarding. The rabbits will definitely stay with you again. Many thanks!!
Helen looked after my tortoise when we went away for the weekend, as we live close by she was able to pop round to feed him and check his welfare. We returned to a happy, contented pet who had been very well cared for. Highly recommended, thank you Helan.
My 2 dogs stayed from Thursday to Sunday dogs settled in very well. Was given the opportunity to come around before and see around. I felt totally reassured as soon as I seen the other dogs there having a great time. 100% recommend!
Ike had a lovely time with the other dogs. Steve and Helen were great hosts and were very flexible, fitting in with our holiday arrangements. Would recommend strongly.
How lovely to find a lovely holiday home for our Teddy, as our other cares had retired we thought no more holidays but Helen and her family are so caring, no worries Teddy lived as one of the family as every need is catered for, he loved the company of the family dogs., a health farm for dogs. thank you Lorna and Mark
Excellent dog carers! Looked after my daughter's very nervous young dog for 5 days. No hassles would definitely use again.
The best in Newquay, Nicki is such a kind and lovely lady and my dog loves her so much. She takes photos and videos so you can see what they’ve got up to each day. She has a selection of fleeces for the doggies on wet and cold days and she takes them to a variety of different places
Nicki has looked after my sausage dog whenever I've needed since he was a puppy and he absolutely ADORES her! He's such a mummy's boy and never likes to leave my side but when we get to Nicki's he's off and doesn't look back at me. She loves all the dogs so much and treats them as her own. They go on adventures and spend lots of time on the beach. She has a garden which they love playing in and they all get along so well. I couldn't wish for anyone better to take care of my pooch! Thank you Nicki!!
Could not wish for a better person to look after your dog.
We needed someone to look after Lily for a day and night. Although we were a little apprehensive about leaving her, (as we had never left her before) we needn't have worried in the slightest. Natalie was brilliant as soon as they met they bonded as she fussed and played with her. Lily was so happy and obviously that meant we were too. Natalie updated us as the day progressed which was reassuring. Lily was obviously very happy with the sleepover and didn't seem to want to leave! We would definitely recommend using Homeward Boundz to anyone.
Natalie is just wonderful: both my dogs loved her and definitely enjoyed the days with her to their hearts content. (Sounds funny, but Baloo took one look at her and was in love with Natalie). They took long walks but also enjoyed lots of cuddles. As a responsible dog owner I felt absolutely confident to have left them in her very competent and trustworthy care, although one of my dogs is very strong and not always that easy to handle. Natalie is very punctual and always answers promptly to any message - which is also very calming when you're held up by traffic and are running late returning home. I recommend her services full-heartedly and will certainly use Natalie's dog sitting again when back in the area.
Natalie at Homeward Boundz is absolutely brilliant. After a long search to find a GOOD and professional dog Walker we found her. She has really bonded with our Cockapoo and he loves it when she comes for him. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Because of all this she seems to be in great demand, so we are very grateful to have her 🤗🤗🤗
Natalie looked after my Maltshi puppy for a few days, she always sent me messages saying how she was doing and also included photos, which was absolutely brilliant. She is very professional and reliable and care's deeply for the animals that she cares for. I would highly recommend Natalie and will be using her again, when I need Lottie looking after. A fantastic service. Thank you for all your care and support.
Natalie has been the most professional of people, answering requests promptly and even meeting us before the first time with our dog. Since then Buddy obviously is so happy with her (and her children by the sound of it!). Buddy is a rescue dog with some separation and trust issues - Natalie has been the first and only person we have felt able to leave him with. Need we say more? Thanks so much Natalie. Sarah and John
Natalie looked after our kitty for 4 weeks and we felt assured that our cat was in safe and loving hands. Our kitty loved her! When we got home he had been well looked after. We would highly recommend Homeward Boundz!
Natalie is great, Floyd always has a good time there, comes back a happy and tired doggy. She is easy going and flexible too. Highly recommend!
Natalie took great care of our 9 year old Frenchie; Stanley. She posted photos and sent email updates. Stanley came home happy as though he had never been away - no sulking! I would definitely use Natalie again with peace of mind that Stanley will be well looked after.
My dogs had a lovely stay with Homeward Boundz, they were not bothered about coming home as they had such a wonderful time and had the same creature comforts as they have with me. Natalie is very professional and sensible, no risks or shortcuts taken.I can 120% recommend HB.
Natalie is amazing. Luna took to her immediately and i could see that she would be really happy in her care when i am at work. I know that she is going to have lots of fun when i go off in the morning, and when i get back, Luna is fast asleep because she's had plenty of exercise. I love seeing the photo's too!
