It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
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.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
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.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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!
Willow has been going to Flo for just over 2 years now and I know 100% that my precious princess is in the best hands in torbay! Flo specialises in small dogs and in my opinion that gives me more confidence to leave my little dog as I know Flo has complete control over her charges. Flo has had willow, ranging from a day for doggy day care, many one, 2 or more night overnight stays, to over a week whilst I went across the pond to the USA. Flo takes time to know her little guests and knowing a dog and all their quirky individual ways takes time. Each dog is different, as are humans. Flo has definitely made an imprint on not only willow's little heart, but mine also.
We are so pleased we have found Florence in a Torquay. Our Border Terrier loves staying at hers and meeting the other dogs. We can go away worry free knowing Oti is in brilliant hands. Thanks Florence!
I was very disappointed with this lady. I called to ask if she had any availability for my dog over Christmas and she raised her voice and said you can't leave your dog with someone last minute and then hung up the phone. My mother has just passed away and we're dealing with some very difficult family circumstances hence the need for last minute dog boarding. Florence's rudeness was uncalled for when she didn't even take the time to hear our personal circumstances, and I now feel even more upset. I think Florence ought to be more considerate when speaking to potential clients and not make judgements and jump to conclusions. I've never had any professional person speak to me so rudely or hang up the phone like that
Florence Bonneau is a woman of many talents. As well as working as a French translator and proof-reader she is a great teacher. I have been enjoying private French lessons with her for three years and my fluency has improved enormously thanks to her skill and enthusiasm. An added bonus for me - as a dog-lover - is that her home is also a dog hotel and I often get an extra tail-wagging welcome from her four-legged clients. Florence is a meticulous housekeeper; the dogs have their own separate quarters and everywhere is always fresh and spotlessly clean.
Florence always looks after Milo when we are away he loves his holidays with her.
Florence was incredibly kind and helpful, she saw me the same day. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
Excellent tutor, warm and welcoming. Highly recommend.
Hazy Days Pet care, looked after our two house Rabbits Pepsi and Shirlie. We felt very comfortable, happy and safe. Everything was done like we'd discussed. The rabbits seemed calm. They bonded with Lorna, which was fab! We felt our house was looked after too. Highly recommended. We will definitely be using the same service again soon. 😊
Lorna did an amazing job, looking after Muffin during our wedding. She made sure muffin was happy thought out. Would highly recommend very good with the dogs and friendly.
Lorna travelled internationally to care for our cat. We highly recommend her for her skilled approach, kindness, empathy, knowledge and experience in taking exceptional care of her. Her daily updates were very much appreciated, excellent communication throughout. Our Siamese was delighted and happy to have such a gentle, responsible and caring guardian in our absence, and it showed. Thank you.
As a fellow dog walker myself. I often see Lorna out on walks with her clients dogs, & if I felt in anyway she was not capable of controlling or having any dogs safe whilst in her care. I would not put one of my own clients dogs in her care while I am on maternity leave. She has a kind nature to her, & every dog she has with her shows how much they adore her. Highly recommended.
Fantastic service, Lorna is qualified and experienced, but above all she is passionate and had the best interest of my pets at heart. Nothing was too much trouble. Great value, trustworthy and reliable. I noted one negative review on Google , this is a million miles away from my experience and as someone who has over 15 years experience teaching Animal Science I can vouch for Lorna's knowledge and competence.
Lorna recently looked after my two cats Talis and Luca and she was brilliant. Very professional and caring. Having not left my cats before with someone I did not know, I was a bit nervous but after meeting her before I went away I felt very confident as it was obvious that she loves animals. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again.
I am keen to express my thanks to Lorna who kindly supported me last week when my normal dog walker was quite unwell and my husband working away and myself full time working, I was in a state of panic for Smartie and his dog walks. Lorna was able to pick up Smartie walks from the day I contacted her. Smartie came back a very happy pup. He really enjoyed his walks and especially when with other dogs of Hazy Days Lorna was professional, came to pick up Smartie when she said she would and just lovely to meet. You could tell that Lorna really cares for the dogs she walked and more importantly Smartie was always bouncing to get out of the door to get to Lorna when she arrived. Overall I cannot state enough how great Lorna was and would highly recommend. Thank you Lorna for your help last week and I wish you all the very best with your dog walking business.
Lorna is gentle, calm, focused on your animals well-being and obviously knowledgeable about animal behaviour and welfare. She walks my big labrador and he adores his walks with her. I trust her with a key to my home and even more valuable my dog. She is flexible with times and days, easy to arrange dates with and Merli comes back happy and tired after a run around with his best friend. Choosing her for dog walking was a great choice.
I visited Torbay and needed my Dalmatian walked as I had a meeting he couldn’t attend with me. I’m a fellow dog walker in another area of the country and I was blown away by Lornas service. She is absolutely amazing, my boy loved her. She’s highly knowledgeable, professional and anyone can clearly see she truly loves dogs. Highly recommend!
Launa has just looked after my cats whilst I was away for a few days……my boys are very timid but Launa was amazing with them they were very happy and very well cared for. She’s so in tune with both the animals needs and their owners anxiety’s. I would highly recommend her services.
Our dog has been going to Animals at home Torbay for a few years. Very happy with everything they do. We use them for daycare & boarding. We feel very at ease when we are away that she is looked after like one of the family. Highly recommend.
Our cat Rosemarie needed some dentistry doing in Newton Abbot. Richard arranged for Liam to take her in the pet ambulance and quite frankly the service was first class! I can't thank you both enough for what would have been a difficult day. I'd give you six stars if I could! Recommended!
Would highly recommend. We have been using their services for many years to take care of our cats and have always been very happy with their services. After recently losing the last of our two cats they were very compassionate and helpful in making a difficult time just a little bit easier. Once we decide to take on another pet we will be looking forward to using their services once again with no hesitation. Thank you to the whole team.
Alfie and Bailey loved their stay and would have stayed longer but we dragged them back home. Excellent service. Couldn't be more pleased! Strongly recommend and will definitely use again! Many thanks Richard and Debbie. Steve and Beatrice Kaye, Paignton.
Have not left my rabbits much before as I have quite a few and they can get very stressed quickly but left them with Richard and Debbie and have come home to very calm happy rabbits, would definitely use them again and definitely recommend this couple.
'Animals At Home' in Paighton is the perfect home-from-home for our Poppy to stay. Debbie & Richard are both professional and caring and Poppy adores them! She has made a number of playmates and is in love with Alfie. 💘 …
Great service and reasonable. Looked after my cat in his own home. Didn't have to stress him out going to a cattery and knew he was being cared for. Will definitely use again.
Wonderful place where my dog goes when I'm on holiday. They are so nice and I don't think he wants to come home!!
Very goof
Very professional Service & very kind
Great service, took care of my dog while I was on holiday. Highly recommended!
Great service! We love the small group walks!
I can`t recommend Rose Pet Care highly enough - I`ve known Rosie for several years; she`s very passionate about animals, kind and loving and will take the responsibility of your pet`s welfare very seriously.
Quality service 👌 nice to meet someone who love animals as much as me !
Gemma is fantastic! She takes excellent care of my cats, is patient and kind, and always updates me promptly. Highly recommended!
Gemma is an absolute god send when it comes to our boy Oscar! Oscar has been walking with Gemma for just under a year and I have found her reliable, professional and a real dog lover. Oscar has previously been some what challenging for other walkers but Gemma has reassured me that by working together we get the consistency and commitment that Oscar needs. When I get home Oscar is clearly well exercised and enjoying his nap after his walks. Communication is great and Gemma is very accommodating if we need to change days around due to work commitments. High recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can’t speak highly enough of Gemma. If I were more organised, I would have written a review months ago. My dog adores her and she’s professional, loving and cares for all dogs as if they were her own. I trust Gemma implicitly and feel such relief that my beloved retriever is having such fun when I can’t walk her. It’s brilliant for socialising too. A pup’s play date! Thank you for everything Gemma!
Its lovely to know that while I'm at work our dog Arlo is out having the time of his life with Gemma. Gemma is extremely reliable, trustworthy and fantastic value for money as Arlo gets an adventure everyday! The thing thats strikes me most about Gemma is how much she genuinely cares for him and all of her dogs and clients. I could not recommend her highly enough.
My dog loves Gemma so much, she squeals with delight when Gemma collects her. Gemma is also lovely, reliable and I feel very happy to leave my dog in her care.
Gemma loves the dogs she walks like her own family. I only have to mention her name and my dog is racing to the window to look for her. Her professionalism, patience and love of dogs is why I can feel safe whenever my dog is with her and I am able to highly recommend her.
So pleased to have found Gemma for my pup Smartie. She came and did a house visit to meet Smartie and chat to me. She then started taking smartie out with other dogs from a young pup and he has just come on leaps and bounds. Well socialised and very responsive to recall. He comes back having had just the best time. When he sees Gemma through the door he cannot get to her fast enough, he just adores her. Gemma is reliable and takes the upmost care of her charges I highly recommend her services.
Gemma is fabulous! Her passion for dogs was very apparent on her 1st meeting my young goldendoodle. They go on a wide variety of walks and I love it when i get photos of their expeditions. When I’m on a long day at work it’s great knowing my dog is having a fun time.Thank you Gemma!
Gemma is great with our 5 month old Bertie. She looks after him with so much care and love. Bertie has a great time every day with Wildwood walkies. Would thoroughly recommend Gemma for dog walks.
Gemma is amazing in every way. Mika our puppy has been walked by her from 3months and loves her time with her. We would not use anyone else.
I cannot thank Sarah for looking after my Archie my little 22 month old JackShu. He has loved going out with his pack on a Thursday. Sarah is very trustworthy and even brings in my parcels!! Archie will miss her very much xx
Sarah is absolutely brilliant with our big buff head golden retriever. He completely adores her and loves his adventure walks with her and her little pack. She is also completely trustworthy and has done house sitting here for us too, also looking after our nervous rescue cat and leaving the place in a far better state than when she arrived! Cannot recommend or thank her enough ❤️
Sarah is outstanding. Such a kind and caring person who is really thoughtful. Always fully prepared for all eventualities. The highlight for me is she brought 4 dogs (mine & my daughter’s) to my wedding so they could be in the photos. It was absolutely amazing and made my day. She dressed them in their wedding outfits and helped the photographer to take memorable photos. Sarah is reliable and trustworthy. Can’t recommend her highly enough.
Having moved to the area we needed to find a new cat sitter (which I was quite nervous about following a bad experience with another company). Sarah was great with our older, quite timid cat. She sent photos daily to reassure us she was ok, gave her medication and even watered our plants. I absolutely trusted her with the house and our much loved cat and will be using her again when we next go on holiday.
Cannot thank you enough for helping us out with our French bulldog coco! We recently went away to Florida and our frenchie was staying at my father in laws house! Being away for a few weeks meant that she would need regular walks and exercise ! I came across Sarah and I’m so glad that we did! We had regular updates and photos and she gave coco the best walks! Really put our minds at ease whilst we was away! It’s the first time we have ever left her too! Thank you so much Sarah and we will be back for sure! Found someone who will always be able to help us out with coco!
Sarah has been walking our dog for the last 18 months, she has been incredibly flexible, friendly and professional throughout. I often receive photos or video of her walks, which is really lovely. Would highly recommend.
Sarah is amazing and a life saver. She has looked after my two dogs in my home a few times now. She is so good with them and they love to see her, I get photo updates when I am away and I trust her with my dogs and in my home. I highly recommend her.
Sarah looked after our cockapoo Sid on my daughter’s wedding day and did a fantastic job including arranging a super photo with the bride and groom and being lovely with all the guests and family she met. Sid seemed really happy with her. We’d like our daughter to do the whole day again and would definitely want Sarah back for that! Highly recommended.
Sarah has walked our doggie for a number of months now and I rated her very highly. Professional, polite and gentle sums up Sarah. Always willing to help out if there is a change of plan and easy to contact. We will miss her in Cornwall and she will be Devon's gain.
Highly recommend Sarah she is so lovely and has been a real godsend to our family. We're a busy working family and I work shifts that often change. Sarah has been so accommodating with last minute changes and requests. My cockerpoo loves her too
My sisters Cockatiel had to be looked after due to major works on her property. These people went above and beyond to help and look after Joey total animal lovers and I would not hesitate to leave any pet in their care they are totally amazing thank you for everything you did to help
