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!!

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.

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!

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.

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.
Diane
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.

Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.

Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.

If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!

It was Charlie and Rodney's first time time staying at Park House Luxury kennels . We got photos of what they where up to which put our minds at ease . The team looked after them really well .we have just booked them in again for June. Thank you Kate and team .
Fantastic caring people who gave our labrador the holiday of her life! It's so good to go on holiday knowing our pooch is safe happy and well cared for. Would recommend without reservation.
We have just picked Bob up from his 2 week holiday and he literally didn’t want to come home🙄. Kate and her team and the facilities are amazing. The dogs (bob) are looked after as individuals, they are treated like royalty. It is worth every penny knowing that he was liked after, safe and happy. I could totally recommend x Thanks Kate & the team.
One word, AMAZING!! Kate and the Team are outstanding and our 4paws loves it there, and them.
Great facilities, indoor kennels, a lovely big field for them to play in. The staff are excellent at communicating, sharing updates, and genuinely care for their visitors. It's always so hard to leave our fur babies, but it's made 100% easier knowing they're in good hands.
Kate, her team and the facilities are second to none! The peace of mind we get from knowing that Ralph (our 12 month old Golden Retriever) is looked after like he was one of Kates own is worth every penny.
20 out of 10 for us and that’s just the dogs review!!! All the girls are fabulous and our dogs are very happy going and coming home…
Fantastic facilities and staff
Absolutely excellent care. Happy dogs.
Brilliant Kennels.

Just been for a Spaniel event day, Venue great- plenty of field for your dogs to run freely, happily and safe! Great owners very friendly, happy. Pizza van “Yorkshire Scran” Look forward to going again!
Use Tail of Swale twice a week for day care and when we go on holiday. Cannot fault anything. My dogs are well cared for.
Caroline and all the team at Tails of Swale have been brilliant with Nevis since he started coming for daycare a couple of months ago. He’s an anxious dog when left alone and so this works great for when I am tied to working in the office. Nevis is always excited when we arrive and a tired happy boy when we leave. Thanks so much for looking after him the way you all do even when he’s trying his escape artist tricks. It really shows how much all the team cares for all the dogs that stay with you.
Fantastic! These are brilliant boarding kennels. I’ve been very reluctant to send my boy to kennels again but feel the team at Tails of Swale understood his personality and met his need for lots of interaction and play time! A very happy vizsla! Recommend without hesitation :)
We can't recommend Tails of Swaile enough! Our dogs boarded over the weekend and were cared for exceptionally well. They had fun and we had our corgi x groomed while he was there too. Brilliant care, beautiful kennels and lovely people. Thank you xx
I took my nervous and very reactive dog to Tails Of Swale expecting her to have to spend the week being walked alone as she really doesn’t like other dogs. Caroline sat with my dog,Lexie and got to know her a little bit. Within hours of being there,Lexie was running and playing with a group of dogs and loving it. I would recommend taking your dog here if you want to make sure they are well looked after and cared for. Best dog boarding around.
Highly recommended for any dog with anxiety disorders. Purdey was really stressed the first night, and Caroline ring to discuss how she could help her. Next day Caroline sent me a video of Purdey with the other dogs enjoying herself. And messaged to say she was a lot less stressed. When I collected her the next day. She was a very happy girl. From what I was told Caroline had spent extra time with her to comfort her. A very big thank you to all the staff at Tails of Swale, outstanding service

We rescued Bobo and quickly learned he had been hit. If we moved an arm quickly he cowered. We had an emergency and needed someone to look after our beautiful fur baby, whilst we made a dash down to the MIdlands. Since then Bobo has been back and to be honest he hardly looked back, he was off with the other doggies and having fun. He has gained so much confidence. We know it is all down to the wonderful staff and owners at Tails of Swale.
This is the second time we have used Tails of Swale. Our dogs absolutely love it here as do we. The dogs are so well loved & looked after they just crash when home. Thank you

Best kennels I have ever used. My dog was cared for to the highest of standards , staff are Fabulous can't praise them enough, they clearly love their work and Milo was very happy there. Thank you so much.
Have used wilderbrook kennels for over 10 years looking after our husky ( who sadly we lost earlier this week ) Maya my husky was all ways well looked after by all the staff at wilderbrook and couldn’t recommend them enough. Sometimes she would stay with them for over a month when we were travelling and never given a 2nd thought to dropping her off. Staff are approachable, understanding and happy for a check up message on what’s app or a call.
Wallace loved his stay, could not have asked for more.
My two cats have stayed at The Secret Garden three times now, and I am extremely happy leaving them there. The pens are immaculate, as is the entire cattery. It's very clean, with no smell of cat wee, which I've smelt in other catteries. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners, and I know, without a doubt, my boys are well-cared for. Thank you so much! An excellent cattery, which I would not hesitate to recommend.
It's really reassuring to know your pet will be looked after. The team went above and beyond when they had to take our dog to the vet on a Sunday morning. Even though we were out of the country, they made sure we were kept up to date even though this was all at the last minute. We've used a number of kennels with various pets over the years, but Wilderbrook is one of the best.
This is the first time my dog has been in kennels and I was so worried about him. He stayed for 3 nights and had a lovely time. There was definitely no need to worry and I'll definitely be using the kennels again. Thankyou Wilderbrook .
Very nice friendly place, more than happy leaving my cat in their care when we go on holidays.
Always take our cat here as always has seemed happy with good accommodation with friendly professional staff. Price seems fair, and also has dog kennel options too. Some narrow roads to get there but also fairly easy to find.
We have a year old Weimaraner dog called Rasmus and he loves going to Wilderbrook. He is very well looked after and we can tell by his behavior that he is happy there. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Excellent groomers. Very kind and approachable.

I was very impressed by the facility, clean, fun and professionally run by Sally and her knowledgeable staff, all of which obviously love their jobs and more importantly love the dogs they interact with. They run a pretty tight ship with emphasis on safety first. They have two beautiful outside play areas that have Synthetic turf so the dogs stay clean, while rolling and frolicking around with there friends. I was fortunate to be able to go behind the scenes and witness first hand this wonderful caring environment that Sally has created for our doggie community..
It's been a bit of a journey for Buddy, who was a lockdown pup and has considerable anxiety issues. Sally has been visiting him for walks and cuddles for a while, but starting proper daycare was huge. The first day, he didn't even leave his crate. Thanks to the patience, love, and a few sausages from Sally and her team he's making brilliant progress - now able to hang out and chill with some of the other quieter dogs outside. Buddy will never be a party pup but he's doing well and taking steps. Sally sends me updates and pics to let me know how he's doing - it's been hugely reassuring to know she cares about him (almost) as much as we do x
Sally has looked after our two dogs for five years. They love her and she treats them like they were her own dogs. I highly recommend DogSmith of Thirsk. First class dog care.
Errol loves it here. When I turn up the road towards them he starts whining with excitement & when he gets out the car he charges off to meet his doggy and human friends without a backward glance! Always comes home happy & knackered.
We have Jake and Annie who both attend doggie day care and absolutely love going, dogsmiths is a reliable and accommodating service. Sally is professional and passionate about dogsmiths and this shows with how happy the dogs are in her care. Thank you for being brilliant at what you do!
Molly absolutely loves her visits. As soon as I open the car boot she hears the staffs voices and is desparate to be out of the car and then drags me to the gate. I collect one tired but very happy little dog. That says it all really!
DogSmith is fantastic! My dog absolutely loves going and comes home exhausted! Sally and Janette and the team do a brilliant job. I couldn’t recommend them more!
It’s brilliant 🤩 . A fun and safe place for my young English Springer to play and socialise with other fur babies while I’m at work. The staff are excellent. They are caring, knowledgeable and have a lovely rapport with all the dogs and their owners. My boy cannot wait to get through the gate in the morning to see his pals. Highly recommended 🐶
Sally looks after our Jack Russell Poppy when we go on holiday. We have no worries about Poppy when we are away Sally is amazing with Poppy we get regular updates and photos whilst we are away. I would never go anywhere else. Excellent service.
My dogs love this place and they are so kind to my dogs and play ball with Yogi who is obsessed with the ball! They do pick up and drop off to which is fantastic! Thank you Dogsmith :)

Emma and Louise are fantastic! Rocky appreciates and loves spending his days with Emma and his friends and is always super excited. They always go above and beyond and we are very grateful for everything they has done. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone 😁 …
Emma, Team Mutt love you to bits. You always go above and beyond to ensure their needs are always put first. You introduced them to 5 acres and they think it is fantastic. I know when I leave them with you they are well looked after, cared for and loved. How you share a bed with a 40kg and 12 kg dog and get any sleep when they sleep horizontally is amazing. If anyone reading this wants the best of the best dog walker or pet sitter just contact Emma at Sit and Go I can guarantee you will not be disappointed your pets will love her.
Em and Lou very kindly looked after my 3 dogs for the week whilst we were on holiday this summer. Having worked with them both at a dog rescue I knew my dogs could not be in safer, more experienced hands! The dogs had a blast (we had lots of lovely updates) they also had endless cuddles and attention. One of my dogs is a bit sensitive to new people coming into the house and even he settled down very nicely, he knew he would have a great time! Thanks Em and Lou, anytime you want my two naughty whips and dorky Galgo they are ready for you! :)
Loxley my crazy cocker spaniel gets so excited when I say “Is Em coming to see you today” he starts pricking his ears up an goes towards the door. This just shows how amazing Em and the team are with him. As you can imagine he’s a lively spaniel and Em and the team always cater to his needs an love him as much as I do. Em and the team are always on hand for me dropping a message about booking Loxley in an always do the best they can to pop him in, he even gets play dates with other dogs too which I know he absolutely loves.
Great being able to call on Em! Every time she’s had Goose it as been a blessing. She comes back learning new tricks and sleeps for hours!
Emma & Louise walk our dog twice weekly. They love him like their own & he waits on the stairs looking for them. Recently we’ve used their pet sitting service for holidays too. He has additional needs which make leaving him very difficult. They moved around all their shifts, work & commitments so that someone was with him 24 hours a day. 2 days before our holiday he had to have an emergency trip to the vets & developed diarrhoea. We couldn’t take him on a 5 hour car trip, no option for boarding or kennels but they still had him & saved our holiday. They got up twice a night to let him out, cleaned him (& our carpets) and left the house spotless. We even came home to a bolognese for tea! These two are amazing & I can’t recommend them highly enough!
We used Sit & Go to look after our two indoor cats whilst we were away for a short break. My partner was kept updated as she worries terribly about them - we had several pictures sent a day, together with FaceTime calls so she could talk to them. A faultless, professional service!
I wish I could star this more than 5. My boyo is my baby and he hasn’t had it easy. Two major operations and loss of his hooman dad. Emma and Louise are life savers and that is no exaggeration. They don’t just do what the title says. They go above and beyond. They answer their phone no matter what time of the day and do not hesitate to drop around at the drop of a hat. Post op was hard work and they had so many tips and helped put stuff into place to make it more comfortable for my boy. The knowledge these two have are second to none. They even take extra time to help me out when needed. They give their best plus more. Before I leave for work, I tell him they are coming and he ways his tail. He loves and adores them (kinda got them around his paw) If you need your furbabies looking after look no further they are the perfect duo to do the job. Superhero’s in mine and my boyos life.
Excellent service from Em at Sit & Go - we have used them twice recently: one at short notice. A very professional service with personal attention to our lovely Fudge. We wouldn't go anywhere else now 💕
Fantastic service from Em shes looked after my fur boy Bertie on numerous occasions staying in my home. My boy loves her to bits...5 Star service ❤❤

Winnie my cockapoo started Pooches paradise this week and has settled straight away! There’s an abundance of things for all the dogs to do outside and I can tell Winnie is in her element and very tired when she gets home as there’s so much for the the dogs to do! Im so pleased I’ve find this place for Winnie to spend her days when I’m at work! there’s a great cabin for the Pooches to rest by the log burner! All in all I’m so happy and so is my pooch 🤩
My dogs absolutely LOVE it here! Lots of play time and care! They are always tuckered out for about 2 days! Which is great for my cocker spaniels constant energy levels! I really believe it’s helped my Yogi’s initial shy demeanour too, I’ve noticed her being so much more confident with other dogs and people every since she’s being going to Pooches Paradise so thank you so much for that! Great pick up and drop off service too. Thank you! :)
My two dogs get excited when we pull up to pooches paradise. They always enjoy their day here with Freya and Charlie. There’s so much for the dogs to do as Charlie builds the dog equipment himself. There is plenty of space for dogs to run around as well as a cosy cabin to relax. I always know my dogs will be tired when I pick them up at the end of the day from having so much fun.
Moss loves coming here. There is plenty for him to do and is always worn out when I pick him up. The daycare is run by an excellent couple who care for the dogs in a big way.
I feel confident happy and pleased with the service from pooches paradise, and my dog pulls to get in on the days he gets to play all day.
Easily the best daycare I have ever used, especially in the area. Really friendly staff, genuine care for the dogs and their safety. The equipment is amazing and all hand made. Couldn't ask for more.
Fantastic place 😀 plenty of outside space lovely log burner to keep warm by dogs never left unattended , clean and the dogs are loved 😍 …
It was great fun! Spotless, great equipment and 100% secure. Can’t wait to go back
