Cat Sitters in Ilmington

Hazel & Nick

Hazel and Nick were wonderful house sitters. They kept in touch with photos each day of the cats and any news about the house. They were very tidy, very good communicators and we hope they will be back soon. Inca and Floki miss them.

Julia

This was the first time we had used zeewoi - or indeed left Lily with anyone! We were lucky enough to meet Julia months prior to our 16 day sit and she set our minds at rest that Lily would be loved and well cared for in our absence. Lily is a cautious and nervous dog, but took to Julia almost immediately, which reassured us with our choice of sitters. Julia kept us updated with photos and WhatsApp messages so we could see Lily was happy and settled and this helped us relax and feel at ease on our holiday in the knowledge she was safe. Our plants were watered as requested and the house was left clean and tidy. We are extremely grateful that Julia was able to do such a long sit for us and we are happy to recommend her to anyone as a trustworthy and caring housesitter. Thank you so much Julia. xxx

Jenny

Jenny and Stephen were great. We didn't actually meet them due to our travel plans but their communication was brilliant. Their care of Maple was excellent - in particular when he was bitten by an adder in the first 24hrs that they had him! They were totally calm and sensible, getting him to the emergency vet (it was a weekend) and then to the vet hospital. Throughout they kept us informed and did all the right things - we couldn't have asked for more. Once he was better they had a great week getting him out and about on lots of walks which he thoroughly enjoyed. They took excellent care of the house and I am sure that the house was cleaner when they left than when they arrived! Would definitely have them again.

Sally

It’s a joy to know Sally is looking after our special boy Louis. We can relax and enjoy our time away without any worries. Thank you Sally.

Aster

Aster kindly arrived early so I could introduce her to Drake before I left. She took care of Drake wonderfully and updated me regularly. The house was clean and tidy. I wouldn't hesitate to have Aster sit again.

Lena

Lena & John are a lovely couple. Easy to get on with and followed our instructions perfectly. Everything was just as we wanted and we cannot fault them in any way. All shelled, furry 4 legged creatures were happy. Not to mention the plants! We would have no hesitation in inviting Lena & John back and highly recommend them to others. You won't be disappointed!

Sophie

This is Sophie and Rob second sit! ! Such lovely people and are so caring and loving towards our hairy girl! Lots of communication & photos to keep us reassured she was having the best time. Sophie has a really special bond with our dog and goes to so much trouble to make sure her needs are met & she’s happy! Would recommend them 100% & hopefully they will come back to sit for us again!

Abbey & Ryan

Abbey is AMAZING! The dogs absolutely loved her and we came home to the super clean, tidy home and two very very happy hounds. She was both professional and friendly from the very first email and even made time to come and visit us and meet the dogs before we left for our holiday. This was hugely appreciated and meant we were able to show her around and know that everything was in very safe hands. I really would not hesitate to recommend Abbey to house / pet sit and I'm already looking forward to being able to invite her to come again...I know the dogs would be very happy to see her too! Thank you SO much Abbey. Mel, Sox and Cosmic x

Lily

Lily was a fantastic house and pet sitter. She looked after our two cats and small dog while we were away, keeping us updated and checking in as needed. One of our cats as a skin issue that flared up just before we left, and we especially appreciated that she looked after this and kept us updated. Lily was easy to communicate with, and left our place very clean and tidy. We would definitely host her again and recommend her to others!

Jade & Tabitha

We loved having them sit for our cat Kairos. The cat took to them well and they were clearly very kind and caring. They even gave her meds using the syringe, which can be tricky. The house was also well looked after and they sent us updates and photos of our cat having a lovely time. Would be open to having them back if they would like to sit again. Thanks so much Tabitha and Jade, we felt Kairos was in really safe hands. I hope you enjoyed your time here.

Jamie & Sally

Jamie, Sally and their children were the most fantastic sitters. The house was immaculate on our return and - most importantly - the dogs had clearly thrived under their care. They seem to have had loads of adventures (including taking part in a Parkrun!) and we have had nothing but positive feedback about the family from all our neighbours/locals. Highly, highly recommended.

Samantha & David

Samantha and David were wonderful pet sitters. Communication with them leading up to the sit was easy with prompt replies. They arrived for the sit as agreed - it was a very early handover which they were very happy to accommodate. While away we got lovely daily updates and pictures of the pets. They definitely seemed to take the pet sitting in their stride and happily taking Mika and Kimi on a few adventures. The house was left clean and tidy for us when we returned. We are grateful for the care they took in looking after Mika, Kimi and Puddles. It made our holiday very relaxed knowing that the pets were in loving hands. We would welcome Samantha, David and their children back anytime.

Carlos & Siobán

Clodagh and David were available to provide care for our pets Rosi and Rafi with very short notice. Clodagh was flexible to come over an evening prior to the sitting dates, to gather information about our house and details of our pets care.
We really appreciate the fact that Rosi needed extra attention, having to be fed and cared for, and Clodagh and David did an excellent job at it. While we were away, we got some updates and photos that made us feel comfortable and relaxed.
Thanks Clodagh and David for minding our lovely pet rabbits.

Veronica

Thank you, Clementine, for looking after our aged dog! I could see how well Clementine took care of Simba the moment we returned. He was relaxed and it was obvious that he was happy with the care he received. Clementine is easy to communicate with, conscientious, tidy and trustworthy. We recommend her without hesitation.
