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!
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!
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
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.
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.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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!
Amy from All Paws, called in last weekend to give our family dogs, a cuddle and to play ball with them, while we were away for the afternoon. Both dogs are very special to us and finding someone who we felt able to trust and look after them is very important to us. After meeting Amy and her meeting the dogs, we felt they would be in good hands with her. I would highly recommend All Paws, I was able go away for the afternoon and not worry about our 2 special family members.
Had a lovely day out knowing that our German shepherd had someone to let her out and play with her, have more days out planned . Thank you so much .
Megan visited and played with our cat for 9 days whilst we were on holiday. She looked after him and even gained his affection (not easy!). He had been in a fight and Megan kept us informed of his recovery, which set our minds at rest. Megan is a lovely caring, trustworthy young lady and we would not hesitate to recommend use her to look after our Frank in the future.
Megan is reliable, trustworthy and is a natural care giver. She has grown up looking after animals all her life and does a fantastic job of it. I should mention I am her mother so I might be biased but even if she wasn't my daughter, I would have no hesitation in recommending her based on her ability, integrity and handling skills.
I Would Recommend Megan . She does a Fantastic Job. I would say Megan is a caring young woman with people and animals . And Obviously a animal lover. We had peace of mind while away. I was Lucky the day I found Megan . 🐈🐑🕊
Used Megan to walk and check up on my large dog and take care of my poultry . My dog loves her..megan is very experienced and obviously a pet lover. Would recommend her to anyone who needs peace of mind over their beloved animals
Our dog loves her stays at Oggies Doggies. Such professional staff and a fantastic environment. Highly recommend.
Oggies Doggies Day Care has fantastic, dedicated, caring people and a safe environment for all your doggie needs. I Would highly recommend 5 Star established.
Excellent care and really friendly. Jenny loves it
We were told we would have 2 or 3 trial days to let our dog familiarise with the new environment before being assessed for boarding which we thought was a good idea. However, the staff at Oggies Doggies advised us that our dog wouldn’t be suitable for boarding as he can sometimes steal things and jump up at counter tops.. on his first trial day at somewhere he’s not been before. We felt that our dog hadn’t been given a chance to settle in, maybe they prefer docile dogs who don’t give the staff too much to do? Anyway, we’ve since found Splendid Hounds a couple of miles down the road and they’re fantastic, and say our dog is no bother at all.
My Remi absolutely loves coming here, was reading some reviews and want to just say, they were unsure when Remi first came if he would be okay with the other dogs and being left, but they worked really hard with me and Remi and introduced him slowly and we went on quieter days before being transitions to busy days. Didnt mind doing this at all as I wanted to know that he would be 100% ok before leaving him overnight and while on holiday. They know the dogs they care for and they also know when a dog is not going to be happy. They literally worked wonders with my Remi and now can go on any day with any dog and stays overnight lovely. The staff are absolutely amazing and love my boy like their own. I get lovely photo updates which put my mind at ease, although sometimes I worry he won't want to come home as he is having so much fun. Hahaha. Highly recommended!!!!
My dog went here on 3/4 occasions and he seemed to enjoy it and was tired when he came home. However, after the 2nd visit we were told to he was mounting other dogs too much and they advised that we get him neutered, after taking vets advise they stated that at 9 months old this may be too young for a big dog to be neutered. On the 4th visit we were advised that he was mounting other dogs too much, was winey and barked at times. I understand that it is not fair on the other dogs for them to be mounted but it seems from reading other reviews on Facebook and google that they only want placid dogs who don’t play very much! Also the initial meet and greet session was £10 and only lasted 10 minutes before they said that he would be welcome, if this had lasted longer the unwanted behaviour may have been spotted. The dog enjoyed it but wasn’t the best fit for him and his puppy behaviours.
Both of my dogs regularly go here it's the best place I've ever left them it's home from home the owners are fabulous with them aswell, in my honest opinion nowhere else comes close 10/10
Checked with Bobby and he loves coming to Oggies .
