Cat Sitters in Great Rissington

Anna-Ruth

Another great sit from Anna. She has developed a good relationship with Murph and always updates me on how he is doing. She is respectful and tidy and know Murph and the flat are in good hands when she sits for me.

Jennifer

This is the second time we had Jen sit for us, and to be honest we would ask her to sit every time but it wouldn’t be very exciting for her! Haha! Always great communication and very easy handover. Thanks again Jen! You are a Housesitting star!

Lara

It was a a pleasure having Lara to look after Ella. They both seem to have got along well and Ella was very happy and settled with her. Thank you Lara!

Mrs H M

Hannah is absolutely wonderful, as is her daughter, Joanna . The moment we met, we knew Maya and Lando would be in excellent hands. We covered everything before we departed, and felt totally relaxed about leaving the dogs and house. We had regular updates and photos throughout our trip away, the house was immaculate on our return, the bed linen was in the machine, and we were the lucky recipients of a delightful card thanking us for their stay! I can't recommend Hannah highly enough.

Caley

We can’t thank Caley enough for taking such great care of our three dogs recently. Flo had only recently joined our pack and as a rescue dog, was still adjusting to her new home. Caley was simply outstanding in the way she nurtured Flo and we came home to a very happy, confident dog. In addition Caley took great care of Yasmin and Eric, making sure they had lots of love and cuddles. Caley kept us updated while we were away with lots of lovely photos and videos. We returned home to a clean and tidy home and very content dogs. Thank you so much Caley. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Michael

What a lovely couple. We’d love to have them stay again. They went above and beyond. They kindly came to Ilkley the day before we left so we had a chance to meet them and introduce them to Murphy. When we returned the house looked amazing and they had made us the most delicious cake to enjoy on our return. Our son has a dairy allergy and it was dairy free which is incredible thoughtful of them. They also left us a thank you card but we should definitely be the ones thanking them. Thank you both for taking such good care of Murphy.

James

It was a pleasure to have James and Helene stay in our home with Jupiter and Everest. James arrived on time for our departure and was a lovely man to meet. Very kind and friendly which put us instantly at ease. They left the house very clean and tidy which was hugely appreciated. The dogs were both well cared for and we had some pup updates whilst we were away. We would gladly have them stay again.

Eleanor

Eleanor was perfect! We could not have asked for a better cat sitter for our 3 babies. Being a cat vet and a serious cat lover, Eleanor is the ideal person to care for your kitties. She understood each cat's unique personality right away. All 3 of them loved her and warmed up to her very quickly, even Marcello who is usually extremely nervous with new people! It was really special to see. Eleanor stuck to the cats' routine and made sure to do all the little things they were used to. She also communicated anything specific that she observed about the cats that would be helpful for us to know. While we were traveling, Eleanor kept us updated with pictures, videos and messages every single day. We were always at peace knowing our kitties were well taken care of. It was clear that she communicated with us the way she would want someone to do for her own cat. Eleanor made sure to communicate clearly and honestly with us from the beginning of the process until the very end. We were able to arrange a video call and finalize our travel plans quickly. She was flexible and made sure to arrive a day early in order for us to meet and go over everything she needed to know about our place and the cats - this was very important to us. We returned from our trip to happy kitties and a clean home. Eleanor is a fantastic cat sitter - extremely knowledgable, passionate about cats, reliable, respectful and a lovely person overall. Your kitties are in great hand with Eleanor and we can't recommend her highly enough!

Jane

Jane was the perfect pet sitter. She is very easy going, chatty and interesting- so easy to communicate with. She seemed to love Lola and I’m sure the feeling was mutual. Jane left our house very clean and tidy and left us notes about anything we needed to know. We would thoroughly recommend her to other pet owners and hope to see Jane again. Thank you Jane.

Ben & Tia

I can’t recommend Tia and Ben enough - I felt super relaxed whilst on holiday, knowing these beautiful souls were looking after my pets. Both kept me updated with messages and photos and were super responsive with messages etc. I have one anxious dog - but I felt super comfortable leaving her in their care as they have had prior experience - within a couple of days photographs were sent with my anxious gal cuddles up. My home was also looked after - very tidy when we returned- thank you for being wonderful sitters. Once again, thank you so much. I only wish you’d be available next year when we holiday!! Than you both ❤️❤️❤️

Grace

Grace and Lloyd took care of our house and dog Milo who took to them straight away. We went away happy our dog was in good hands. Grace updated us with messages and pictures. Came back to a very happy boy, would recommend.

Emily

Emily was excellent. I have an elderly diabetic cat with complex medical needs and Emily handled all the different medications (including twice daily insulin injections) very well. Emily bonded with my cat immediately on arrival, and I returned home after my holiday to a calm and happy cat and a clean and tidy house. I highly recommend Emily and hope she can house sit for me again soon.

Whitney

Niloo & Mo were the first sitters we've used on zeewoi and they set the bar high! They are kind, thoughtful, flexible and communicative. They treated our kitty Winston like he was their own, with more affection, playtime and comfort than he probably gets with us!
They made the trek out to meet Winston the night before to ensure he would be comfortable with them and to see his routine. They asked lots of questions and were keen to keep his world as normal as possible so he wouldn't get anxious while we were away. Niloo & Mo sent us daily updates with photos and videos and alerted us right away when Winston threw up or did anything out of character. They struck the right balance of sending enough information to help us feel at ease without bombarding us while on vacation. We loved the videos they sent us with voice overs of what Winston was thinking - always made us laugh!
They went above and beyond to care for Winston, and they also did the same with our home. I left the house as clean as possible before they came, and it looked exactly the same when we returned! Even though I told her not to worry about it, Niloo even went so far as to offer to do laundry and to change the bedding for us since she knew we would get home late.
Most importantly, I could feel the genuine love that they developed for Winston during their short stay, and I knew that he was in good hands the whole time, enjoying all of the attention and playtime, wishing we had stayed on vacation longer... <3

Vince

Linda stepped in to help us out when our local sitter canceled on short notice.  She came over prior to the sit for orientation, and we could tell right away that she was serious, conscientious, and responsible.  We felt comfortable having Linda take care of our home and cats while we were dog sitting in NYC for 3 weeks, and would gladly have her back.  Although she is fairly new to housesitting in zeewoi, she handled our sit like a pro.  She sent us emails every few days, administered monthly flea medication, and the cats looked healthy and happy when we returned.  In addition to loving cat care, Linda left the house exactly as she found it, and cleaned it as if she lived here.  We highly recommend Linda as a top notch house sitter!
