Cat Sitters in Harwich

Jackie

Jackie was super all around. Really easy to communicate with prior to the sit, we met the day I left and I felt so comfortable and safe leaving my home and cat in her care. I was right, she was fab! She updated me throughout (nothing exciting as the cat is not very adventurous…) I came home to clean sheets, a hoovered home, flowers and a content kitty. I’d have Jackie again in a heartbeat :) x

charles

We recently had Charles to take care of Rudy, charles Communication was excellent throughout, with prompt updates and even a few pictures while we are away. I highly recommend Charles and will definitely be using services again in the future. Five stars for reliability, communication, and fantastic care!" Feel free to personalize it based on your specific experience!

James & India

We were so pleased we chose James & India for our first housesit. They are lovely people who are genuine animal lovers and we felt totally comfortable leaving our 2 nervous dogs with them. We received plenty of updates during our holiday and we could see the dogs were happy and being well looked after. We found James & India really easy going and super enthusiastic, it felt like we'd known them for years! We wouldn't hesitate to have them back.

Audrey

Recently had the delightful Audrey complete a 2.5 week housesit in our home to keep our two cats company. Audrey kept us updated throughout her visit with regular e-mails. Our furry friends where happy and relaxed on our return and our home was immaculate. Our neighbours thought her wonderful. The added surprise of supper left in the fridge was a real bonus after our long journey home. I would have no hesitation in recommending Audrey and we would definitely love to have her sit for us again if our travel plans aligned. Thank you Audrey.

Lorenzo & Kate Elizabeth

It was a delight to meet and have Lorenzo and Kate to stay and look after my 3 dogs and my property while I was abroad for 3 weeks. They are very confident, organised and self sufficient. I felt very comfortable leaving eveything in their hands when I left. We were in touch while I was away. My dogs were very happy with them and they did a great job with the house ,garden and swimming pool. Everything was perfect when I returned. I hope they will come again and highly recommend them. Thank you Lorenzo and Kate, enjoy your next sits!

Susan

It was a delight to find Lisa on zeewoi, she was enthusiastic about the sit from our initial communication and all the arrangements were made smoothly and quickly.

I was very reassured about Lisa's pet care from our first conversation and she looked after Abbie, my senior lady poodle, very carefully and affectionately. I had every confidence that Abbie would be well cared for from my first encounter with Lisa and she wasn't phased with having to administer medication 3 times daily.

Our Whatsapp messages while I was away were just the right amount to make me feel reassured. Seems like Abbie had a lot of fun being taken to the park in her buggy as she can't walk long distances these days.

Thank you from both of us Lisa, hope you'll visit us again.

Jenny

We loved Jane from the minute we met her. She put us instantly at ease at leaving our boy and felt like 'one of the family' in hours. Ollie was so relaxed when we got back that we knew he had been so cared for and loved. Jane has a lovely natural way with animals and humans alike, so they instantly bond with her. Communication was easy, updates were great and everything felt so safe. The house was so clean to come back to and with a gorgeous dinner ready for us. It was a pleasure to meet Jane and we hope that there's another opportunity for Ollie and (us) to spend time with her again - thank you so much - Jen
