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.

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!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
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.
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
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!
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!
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 :)
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 have known Alison for some time now , several years in fact. She is a caring and patient person. She is a great animal lover. She has dogs of her own and has brought them up in a caring and loving environment as well as giving them the right discipline. I have often turned to her for advice when we got out puppy Bichon 4 years ago. Alison has been a wonderful sounding board and helped in training our dog and understanding her. We often leave our dog with Alison and we know she will be in safe hands. I would trust Alison completely and highly recommend her services . Alison is very commited to what she does. Glad you have ventured into the pet service trade.
David has looked after my little girl for over 2 years, and i wouldn't go anywhere else. my little girl loves going to David's and cannot get out the car and to his front door quick enough. David is amazing with the dogs and treats each one like his own. I know as soon as i drop kallie off i do not need to worry about her she is in great hands.
Thank you Diane
Elliot has walked my dog Roxy for about a year now, he is very reliable and often sends me videos of her with her friends,I would highly recommend pets and pals , thank you so much Elliot for loving our dog as if she was your own.
Eliot has been walking our dogs for nearly 5 years. We have always found him extremely reliable, friendly and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Ron and Benjy always look forward to Eliot’s walks and he gives me regular updates.
I have used pets and pals for the last 3 years. Eliot and the team walk my border collie - Shiloh, twice a week. They are so flexible and friendly, if I ever need to change my plans there are no issues or questions asked; they are extremely reliable and normally have Shiloh out of the house for over an hour! So I know she gets a great run around. Couldn’t recommend Eliot and the team enough!
I have had Eliot take my dog buster for walks for many years & would highly recommend pets and pals. Eliot is very professional, reliable and accommodates even at short notice. We have created a great friendship. My dog buster is not very good with other dogs and Eliot has accommodated his every need and formed a close bond with him and buster trusts him 100%. Julie - Luton
Our two dogs are looked after everyday by Eliot (and his team)for their daytime walk and we are very pleased with the first class service provided. The dogs also spend in home boarding with Eliot when we are away on holidays and are always happy and well looked after on their return. We couldn’t be without Pets and Pals and would give 10 stars if we could! Thank you Eliot.
Eliot at pets and pals looked after my precious cat George whilst I was away for a week. George hates travelling anywhere so the thought of taking him to a cattery filled me with dread! He's mainly an indoor cat so I knew he would be more comfortable staying at home. Eliot visited everyday to feed George and sit and play with him for a short while, I even recieved daily pictures to reassure me my fur baby was in good hands and well looked after! Using pets and pals took away the stress of leaving him and I came home to a very happy George! Would highly recommend Eliot and his team very reliable and great value for money! Thank you
Elliot and team are great. Reliable, trustworthy and very friendly. Very convenient to have a helping hand when it comes to wearing out my super energetic pup. Elliot always spends a little extra time to fill me in on pup’s behaviour and is always dropping helpful tips along the way. Would recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter/walker who they can trust to do a great job.
Eliot is very friendly, and very adapting to ones needs. My pup is very happy to see him and go for walks with him. I feel happy and safe with my pup being in his care. Also any advice needed he is always willing to help.
We use Pets and Pals for dog walking during the day when we are at work. We could not be more happy with the service, our dog adores Eliot and he's never let us down. Pets and pals holds a key to our house, all the relavant paperwork was completed and I have no trust issues what so ever. We get video and photo updates of walks and I've never once come home to muddy carpets, just an exercised more relaxed dog. It's such a relief to find a dog care service locally who we trust. Can thoroughly recomend Pets and Pals. Mrs Clewes, Totternhoe
I have 2 naughty bengals who are indoor cats. Whenever I go away on holiday or for the weekend Eliot and his lovely mum Linda always look after my babies for me. Even if I need the cats to stay with them it’s no problem. Linda always leaves a note to update me how they’ve been whilst I’m away and checks I’m home to make sure they’re okay. I’d always use Pets and Pals as I trust them 100% x
Agata (and husband) are always reliable in case I need to leave my crazy Iyla with her due to work or travel. Even though she is fully booked she still tries to squeeze in a groom for her if I put in a late request. Very reasonable rates with flexible service and dependable. Iyla reacts well and walks straight over to her- despite being an anxious dog <3
Agata has been taking care of my 2 dogs for a couple of years now and I always go away without worrying. She is extremely experienced and has a natural gift with animals. She also send regular videos. I would highly recommend Agata!
Agata has been there to look after our ever growing cat family for nearly 4 years now and she is always there when we need her. When we go away I know she treats our cats as if they were her own, sending us pics and vids of them enjoying cuddles. I sometimes think they prefer it when we are away. I trust Agata implicitly to do what's right for our pets, she really is the best!
We are so grateful to be able to rely on Agata to take good care for our cats when we're away, she is totally trustworthy and reliable. We know our cats are always in safe hands and she keeps in touch for peace of mind while we are away. Highly recommend.
Completely unreliable. Unprofessional and rude. Booked for dog to stay 4 nights and confirmed by Agata. On day of drop off no answer at door or to the phone call. Finally partner/husband opens door and refuses to take dog and had to leave looking at other options as this was a waste of time.
My dog ( German Shepherd) is always happy to spend holidays with Agata😉 Freddie loves coming back every year. I strongly recommend Agata's service due to professional and friendly service. She is the best👍 …
Our little dog had to be left somewhere for the duration of our holiday. My wife found Agata on facebook and after initial 'get to know each other' visit we were sure this is the best choice. In fact our Napoleon ce back home and was clearly missing his temporary home. Great dog keeper!
Wonderful , professional . One of the best spa day for my dog. She came back beautiful and relaxed. Never happened before. I was expecting upset and stubborn little miss . She was happy , calm , shinny just perfect. Thank you Agata
Agata has been looking after our 2 dogs when we go on holidays for about 3 years now. She is trustworthy and love dogs. She is sort of family now. Thanks Agata
Agartha has looked after my dogs for over three years now, they love her, she has always been hugely reliable, and has come to my home twice a day for two weeks while I was in Australia in Jan, I could go away and trust her with my boys , highly recommended, I would say 🐕 and cats are her life she loves them
Gemma recently looked after our two cats while we went on holiday, and could not have asked for better service/care. We received regular pictures and updates of the fun they were having when Gemma visited them to feed, check and play with them. Great reliable service and would highly recommend. Thank you xx
I always receive fantastic service from Gemma. She’s incredibly passionate about her job and her knowledge is second to none. Far from your average dog walker!
It was absolutely shocking. The worst vets experience I've ever had my pet died while they were making it snort coke. The only reason it's 5 stars amoungst this horrendous disaster is because the door was a push and not a pull. 5 stars.
Fantastic dog walking service. My dog absolutely adores Mark and happily bounces off with him. Mark is also brilliant at making sure that the right dogs are walked together so there is no confrontations which is important to us as our dog can often be intimidated by others. He also offers and extremely reasonably priced house/dog sitting service which is great if we need a weekend away as our dog wouldn’t cope well with kennels. Highly recommended.
I highly recommend Marks dog walking service. He is lovely, friendly and very good with dogs. My border cross pup took to him immediately. Would highly recommend
The Happy Puppy and Viola were quite simply the best! We had every trust leaving our little boy in her hands and she looked after him with the upmost care and love. He was nurtured, bathed, walked and played with and I got the most gorgeous photos sent as updates whilst he was in her two week care. Booking our pup in was very last minute but Viola was nothing but accommodating. I will definitely be leaving Skip in her care again. Thank you so much for going above and beyond.
We was recommended to Viola at The Happy Puppy as we wanted more of a home from home setting for our 10 year old Coco. We received a very professional service and Viola really made you feel welcome and everything was discussed to your needs for your pet. We received regular updates with pictures and videos of Coco on her stay. Would highly recommend to friends and family and will definitely book coco in again in the near future. You can definitely enjoy your holiday without having to worry about your pet.
We love Lulu ( German shepherd dog) very much and leaving her with anyone has always been a worrying and unsettling thought. However, we left her with Viola a few times and each time Lulu was returned to us happy and healthy. Viola makes sure her physical and mental wellbeing as well as her safety are her priority and we couldn’t be more grateful. Experienced, kind and caring, will always recommend. We can’t imagine leaving her with anybody else.
Viola is a lovely lady, she is professional in her business but obviously has a a big love and understanding of the dogs in her care . Frank came home happy and well cared for, we had lots of updates and photos sent during his stay and Viola even managed the impossible, he even came home with beautifully cut nails! We would not hesitate to leave him with Viola again. Thank you Viola, you gave us peace of mind that Frank was just fine.
So grateful to Viola for looking after our lovely terriers for a week. She was so communicative and sent us daily photos of the pups having a ball. I felt very reassured having Viola care for our dogs and will definitely be using her again in the future! Highly recommend.
Our little Toby stayed overnight with Viola and I am very happy with the care given to him. Communication was very fast and easy! Viola is such a lovely person, we will definitely come back with our little bean!!
Viola did a great job, she looked after our dog Oreo very nicely for 10 days. She sent us pictures through his stay and kept us updated on how was he doing :) I would recommend her to everyone, we were at peace of mind while we were abroad. Thank you so much! 🤩
We are so greatfull to meet Viola on our way. She is the best person who has looked after our Lexi. Thank you so much. Highly recomend. Polecam gorąco najlepsza opieka dla naszych pupili.
I would highly recommend The Happy Puppy if you're looking for boarding. My pup is so excited when he arrives, Viola is fab, she looks after him so well, and sends photo & video updates.
I had a wonderful experience with The Happy Puppy as our dog stayed there for two weeks while we were on holiday. I was kept up to date with photos and videos and I could tell that not only he was well looked after he was also very much loved. Viola is highly professional, very caring and truly treats all dogs as her own. A stellar service, highly recommended! We will definitely be using this service again and again!
The lovely people at We Love Pets Stevenage took such good care of our cat whilst we were on holiday, and kept us updated on their visits with photos and a few words. Very reassuring to know he was well looked after (didn't stop him being grumpy with us when we returned though!!!).
Absolutely cannot recommend We Love Pets Stevenage enough! Personal, friendly & stunning professional service - and I could not have asked for a better place for my little furry friend to be, when not with me! Charlotte & the team took time to ask all the right questions - making sure that my dog was paired with the right person (and he now absolutely ADORES Matilda!). Best feeling in the world, knowing that my doggo is in the best hands possible while we’re away. Beyond grateful for you all! Thank you so much 🌟
After loosing our older dog we decided that our other dog wouldn't cope with being in kennels by himself, so looked for a home boarder. We love pets was recommended to us. We did an over night sleepover and then a day visit to find the perfect match. We went away for a few days knowing our dog was being looked after and cared for like their own. With updates and photo's the whole time reassuring us he was happy and safe. We will definitely be using our home boarder again and would highly recommend we love pets!
So lucky to have found such lovely and caring people to look after our dogs! My dogs are absolutely in love with all the carers and get so excited when they see them! They have always tried their best to accommodate me at short notice when I have needed last minute dog care . Can't recommend this company enough!
We have an elderly golden retriever with mobility problems . We knew we couldn't put him into kennels and luckily found We love Pets , they were so caring . He was looked after in a family home, which we visited beforehand so they knew him , his needs & medication etc. Whilst he was there they updated us with photos so we knew he was happy and we could relax in the knowledge he was being well cared for. We would thoroughly recommend their services to anyone looking for home care for their fur baby !
We used WLPS to look after our 3 cats while we were away for a week. All our requests were taken care of and I have already booked them again for the next time we are away. It's nice to have found reliable and trustworthy people to look after the cats.
WLP have been fantastic in looking after our tortoise. Since we go away a few times a year, it’s a comfort to know there’s someone reliable and friendly available. Our tort is on good hands!
We have been using the pet sitting service for a year now and we could not be happier. Thor loves going there every week and he alsways comes back home a happy boy. Charlotte is always very responsive and willing to help with requests and the sitters are wonderful with Thor, so I feel peace of mind when he is there. The only thing I would change is having a more flexible cancellation policy, hence the 4 starts.
For our 9-month old dog first night away we had been very pleased with Charlotte and her team. Tasha has been great and did a wonderful job at caring about our dog like it was hers. She’s kept me informed regularly how she was doing through quick chat and photos sharing. Our dog had a great one night stay and we peacefully enjoyed our night out. Thanks a lot Tasha!
Very happy with our cat sitting service, Charlotte was very friendly and professional. We got regular ups dates while we were away and I felt confidant our cat was in good hands. I would highly recommend We Love Pets to anyone needing a sitting service.
