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!
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
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!
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
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.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
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.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
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!
My dog regularly goes to Mind Your Paws and leaves me without a backward glance!! The facilities are excellent and the staff are all very caring and lovely with the dogs. I have no worries at all about leaving Max with them and I often get video updates. On the occasion he needed a vet while I was on holiday I was immediately contacted and kept fully informed about his progress. I wouldn’t consider taking him anywhere else - very happy with everything
We’ve been taking our bonkers Rizsla the Vizsla to MYP since a young pup , he’s 2 yrs old now. Genuinely a great experience from start to finish. It’s clear he is very well cared for and happy because when we come to pick him up he doesn’t want to leave ! That’s a big endorsement. We get wonderful photos of him when he’s there. He’s definitely improved overall in his character and behaviour especially with other dogs as he gets lots of attention and playtime and I can’t thank the team enough. So great place great team great experience.
What can I say, absolutely fantastic place to send your beloved pooch. I was stuck as I had a wedding and our usual dog babysitter let us down. So after many searches I came across Mind Your Paws. I spoke to Debbie who did her best to fit us in at such short notice. I took Sandi to the kennels so I could introduce her to Cooper who kindly showed us around. I was greatly impressed. The individual pens are large, comfortable and have their own heating. The exercise areas are Huuuuuuuuggeeeeee, more than enough room for the largest of dogs. They were kind enough to share a video of Sandi playing with a new friend that was staying there at the same time. They looked like they were having a whale of a time. Now, I have to be honest, it's not the cheapest of kennels. However, it's certainly the best I've ever seen. Put it like this..... it's the difference between you staying at a travel lodge to a Hilton hotel. This place with all it's amenities and luxuries is definitely a Hilton hotel for dogs. I cannot recommend this fantastic place enough. If you love your dog, you cannot go wrong with Mind Your Paws. Thank you Debbie, Cooper and everyone working at Mind Your Paws, you are amazing.
Debbie and the team are more than perfect for boarding your dogs, we had our two mini sausages stay the night recently and they was both really looked after brilliantly! We’re confident they will be fine for the next two bookings we have with mind your paws whilst we go travelling as a couple ❤️ Debbie and the team can send photos or videos upon request and she even treated them to some chicken 😍 thank you so much a massive delight !!
Went to have a look round the other day and were really impressed. Lovely owners, well staffed and they really seem to care about the dogs and cats in their care. We've booked for 2 dogs and 2 cats for next year. Go and have a look you won't be disappointed
Upon looking around the kennels for the very first time Debbie was extremely friendly and assured me and my partner that herself and her team were able to look after and care for energetic pup to a high standard. Going forward we decided that our pup went in for a few nights. Debbie assured us that there would be communication as my partner was very sceptical on leaving him. Upon collecting him after the few days and taking him home, we discovered that he has several bites marks on him, very thin and was rushed into the vets with a serve vial infection and conjunctivitis in both eyes. We did make Debbie aware about our pup being ill and see did seem concerned and invited us in for a chat and was happy to waver the cost of the stay and the consultant fee of the vets to try and put her mistakes of a business right. Me and my partner decided that we would give Debbie and her team another go as she couldn’t have been more apologetic. Following on from this we did book another stay. Contact from Debbie was fantastic because she knew she had done wrong preciously His final visit after collecting him on Sunday was appalling. No communication was given even though she Previously promised to try harder and make her team aware. He came home Malnourished and excessive bite marks around his neck. Since raising our concerns to Debbie yet again she has now turned around and told us that she doesn’t want him back to stay anymore. Hearing this from a business owner is disgusting!! Avoid at all costs!!!
My little dog recently stayed here for 12 nights. Was his first time going to kennels . I was a bit worried as I know how timid he can be. But I wasn't to worry as they helped him come out of his shell enough to he comfortable around them and the other dogs 5* service and I will be using them again
Our 2 dogs have just returned from 12 nights at Mind Your Paws, they have returned home settled and well, it was lovely to receive a video of them while we were away 🥰 Debbie, Cooper and their staff do a fantastic job and give us total peace of mind, we totally recommend them.
My three dogs boarded with Mind your Paws a few weeks ago They had never been in kennels before and I was slightly worried how they would cope They all appeared happy when I collected them would definitely send them there again
Just called today with my wife and our 2 dogs Dottie and Bandit for a look around with a view to boarding our dogs out next year, and to be honest with you we were blown away with the set up, we were first met by Debbie the owner who gave us a detailed talk and tour of the facilities, which included taking our dogs in so they could experience the kennels as well, what an amazing set up, a meet and great paddock which our dogs had a fun time in meeting Winnie and another Dottie they all got on fantasticly well, a look at the actual kennels they'll be boarding in with heated flooring a fan for summer and cctv to keep an eye on them at all times and then onto the playing field which as a multiple of play things for the dogs, needless to say we will be booking them in as soon as we can.... A big thanks to Debbie and Cooper
Bella absolutely loves coming to see auntie liz and auntie keeley for a day of fun with her friends. Reasonably priced and my dog is always happy and looked after.
Liz really goes above and beyond and looks after your pets like they're her own, awesome service and I am very grateful she managed to make room for our two cats at short notice. Our cats will definately be staying here again!
Lovely place to walk the dogs and not worry they'll escape. Not just a flat field and has lots of interesting places for your dogs to have a sniff and explore. Owner very nice and friendly. 😃 …
My first time using a cattery. Chose Lea Wood as it had good reviews. Upon dropping Maddie off owner was saying how busy they are. Upon collecting Maddie, received complaint my cat was under their feet when around her and kept messing the cat litter around and it needed tidying all the time. My cat was returned to me with the words- she was fine an hour ago but her back legs are now limp and they suggested I take her to the vets. Vets said not sure whether it was a clot from injury or because of age. I was explained to that she needs to be put to sleep. Heart broken. I know she was an older cat but not a good experience. Cattery did send a message to ask how she was.
My Daughters dog who is 7 month's now goes here. He love's it always wants to stay he gets to mix with other dogs. The Family and the staff really care and make him a happy dog. Thanks 😊 …
Excellent facilities. Extremely caring owners. My cat has been very happy and well looked after in this cattery for the many times he has stayed in the 14 years of his life.
Liz and her family are amazing and lovely and I know that when my cat stays he is so loved and looked after, I wouldn't go anywhere else
Nothing is too much trouble. Liz looks after the cats for me and comes and picks them up and drops them off too. I am disabled and would have trouble but because the Cattery does this for free in Gainsborough it is a godsend for me. A beautiful place run by lovely, caring people.
Hegarty and Hettie would like to say a big thank you for a very nice stay. We were well look after and the food was good. Our Mum says she thinks we have put on weight. …
I was really worried about my leaving my baby anywhere. Have looked and looked for a cattery in the area - we must have seen 20 over an 80 mile radius but none come close to this one. So happy to have eventually found one we can trust. I …
