Cat Sitters in Houghton Le Spring

Elaine

It was a pleasure to have Elaine as our sitter. Chester was so happy and content when I returned. My house was clean and tidy and Elaine had even washed the bed linen and hung it out to dry! I would recommend Elaine as a sitter to anyone.

Alan

We have just returned from our holiday and Alan and Jean have looked after our dogs and home brilliantly. The dogs have clearly been well cared for with attention paid to their routine including very early walks due to the heat. The house is immaculate and they have gone well beyond expectations and tidied cupboards, cleaned out rooms, dealt with a power cut and even done some cooking for us ( left in the freezer). I highly recommend Alan and Jean as very caring house and pet sitters and I hope they have some lovely new experiences with their next house sits.

Maxine & David

Maxine took wonderful care of my cat, Mimi. This was my first time using zeewoi, and Maxine was very kind and told me how the site and the sits work. As a newbie, I highly appreciated this information. Maxine and her partner David are really kind people that genuinely love cats. Maxine sent me updates of Mimi daily (we had agreed on daily updates) and the videos proved that Mimi trusted Maxine and David and felt safe around them. This was a huge relief during my time away and I was able to relax knowing Mimi was well looked after. Even though my apartment is not within a walking distance to the shops, Maxine never complained and made her own arrangements. Maxine also bought toys for Mimi which Mimi plays with often. This was a pleasant surprise which was highly appreciated. Maxine also engaged my cat often and played a lot with her. I appreciated this a lot as my cat loves playing with wands and toys. The apartment was super tidy, to an extent I didn't think was ever possible haha. Maxine is an experienced sitter, which was evident in the way she organised everything for the sit. During the week approaching Maxine's sit, I had a checklist with a number of house related tasks to complete. Due to time constraints, a couple of these tasks were incomplete, but Maxine did not complain although I know that the completion of these tasks would have made Maxine's visit smoother. Overall, I am really grateful to Maxine and David who were so gentle with Mimi. Communication was excellent and friendly and I highly recommend Maxine as you can trust that your cat(s) will be completely safe and well looked after.

Lesley was caring,extremely tolerant of a demanding puppy. she administered medication accurately and showed much consideration for the dogs wellbeing.

Pauline & Michael

We loved these guys. They took the best care of Daria while they were exploring the area. Super friendly, mature, tidy and reliable. They really went to great lengths to accommodate for my dog's needs. They're always welcome in our house.

Lili

Chris & Lili were great! Great sitters in all respects, we came home to 2 happy dogs and a clean, tidy house. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Lili & Chris again. Thank you!

Asem & Adeliya

Asem is a fantastic sitter. Reliable, a great communicator, super clean and tidy and most importantly a clear animal lover. She took wonderful care of our cat Morty. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy cat. We'd love to have her back to sit anytime.

Nickala

Second time having Nickala sit! She's brill and patient with reassuring pet parents 😊

Imogen

Imogen was great! Bear had such a lovely time with her and enjoyed lots of lovely walks. The house was so tidy when we got back from our long weekend. Thanks for staying, we would definitely recommend!

Kayleigh

Kayleigh came very last minute to look after our house and coped very well with our departure being less organised than I would have liked. She took great care of our animals and house and I would highly recommend her.

Kerrie

Kerrie and her family were lovely housesitters. Lyra liked them straight away and had a fun week going out and about with them. They looked after the house really well and I felt very comfortable leaving them in charge. They kept in touch and I came back to a happy pet and a clean and tidy house with the sheets drying on the line. I would have Kerrie back again for another sit.

Jody

June looked after my cat Sadie for three weeks while I was away.   I returned to a tidy home and a content kitty.  I think my cat even missed June when she was gone because she was sniffing around and looking for her!  I will invite June back another time if it works out in the future.

Chris

After Rick's outstanding pet care and house sit on his first house sit with me, I invited Rick to come back to look after Meena for another 2 weeks. Upon his arrival, I could tell by Meena's ecstatic reaction that she had a strong bond with Rick, after all how many pet sitters spend their entire day at home or out for walks with the pet they are caring for? The only time Rick left Meena alone is when he was out at the supermarket, otherwise, he was with her all day and night! During Rick's stay, I showed him how to run the vacuum cleaner for the pool and a few other house hold chores. Then during my absence, the temperature dropped from the 90's to the 30's and a freak snow storm hit Colorado in the third week of May. Fortunately, Rick's handyman skills were put to good use as he drained the lawn sprinkler system, covered the fruit trees and vegetable garden as well as a few other winterizing chores. I was relieved to have had such a dedicated pet carer and companion for Meena and handy house sitter looking after my house, it truly gave me peace of mind to travel and know that Rick is looking after everything, and upon my return the house was clean, tidy and spotless. I wholeheartedly recommend Rick and would definitely invite him back.
