Cat Sitters in Polegate

Joanne

A huge thank you to Joanne for being an absolute star, taking the greatest care of our 2 cats and our home. Joanne kept us up to date daily with the cats activities and photos, and was a great communicator before and during the sit. She very kindly agreed to stay on an extra night too, as an opportunity arose whilst we were away, and we are super grateful to Joanne for being happy to do this. We returned home to a super clean and tidy home, and above all very happy cats. Thank you again, we’d love for you to return sometime.

Helen

Helen was great. We had a video call initially and on the day I was leaving we agreed she would arrive early and meet my cat and I and, get acquainted. I felt very comfortable leaving my cat and home in her care. She is a safe pair of hands and seems very capable and experienced. Wouldn’t hesitate to have her sit again. Home was left immaculate as well and my cat was so chill he barely registered my arrival when I got back. Thank you Helen.

Emma & Matthew

This lovely family was a gift to all of us. The children are adorable, loving and very responsible. They have a very sweet way of connecting with animals and that makes a big difference. Matthew and Emma were very kind and considerate at all times. The contact was so fluid that it seems like we had known each other before. They are a very nice and special family. Our dogs were so happy that they were sad to see them go. The house was tidy and clean and we kept in touch at all times in any situation. All the trust and love they give is reflected in how easy it is to talk with them and make them friends. We really hope to connect again in the future!

Sian

Sian very kindly came to visit us pre sit from Eastbourne and straight away we knew she would be a great fit for us and our pets . This was Sian’s first sit through zeewoi, so she was a little unsure of what to expect . She has lots of experience, not only with her own pets but those of friends , family and neighbours so needn’t had worried at all . Our dog Indie took to Sian straight away and was leaning in for cuddles in no time at the pre sit visit . On the day of the sit Sian (much appreciated) arrived nice and early as she knew we were keen to avoid traffic . Whilst away, we received regular updates and photos of our furry best friends . They had a wonderful time with Sian, especially Indie who had lots of lovely walks a few visits to the Five Bells for a pub lunch and of course lots of fun playing ball ! On our return Indie and Sian were having one last play in the garden. The house was clean and tidy and the bed striped ready for our next visitors ! We would definitely recommend Sian , she is a very fit and active lady , with a fab sense of humour and extremely reliable . The pets loved her and we hope that she’ll return to us soon.

Anna

So very happy that Anna could come back and sit again for the Poppets . She is a delight to have in the house and kept me up to date with the poppets which were both funny snd informative . You will be very lucky to have Anna as your sitter and I hope she will return again soon

MaIread (Margaret)

Margret and her sister Looked after our house and cat for a week when we were in France the house was left immaculately and the cat Idli was his usual silly self. Great communication. 100% recommend!

Gracie

Gracie and Teamo were absolutely fantastic - such an experienced lovely couple and clearly wonderful people. They loved our dogs and cat as if they were their own and we came back to an extremely clean and tidy house. Their communication was excellent and their experience of house sitting shone through. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have found them and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else. We will certainly be asking them back again in the future.

Fiona

A great pair of house sitters. Fiona and Neil cared for the house and Twtsi my rescue cat as if it was their own. A lovely couple that anyone would welcome into their home. They arrived on time settled in immediately and kept in contact all week. So pleased they were able to sit for me and would thoroughly recommend them.

Cydney

This is a the second time Cydney has sat for us and once again, she was amazing! Minnie and her bonded over pup cups and ice creams and together went on many adventures which we received daily updates on! Cydney is super reliable and was in constant communication with us. Poor Minnie was unwell towards the end of the sit but Cydney was so in tune with Minnie and got her to the vet immediately and she was better within the couple of days. We hope to have Cydney sit for us again soon!

Julia

What a wonderful couple! Great housesitters, warm, friendly, and hugely supportive when I got held up at work! Highly recommend! We're hoping they will be able to sit for us in the future.

Mary

Mary was a brilliant sitter. We agreed an arrival time as soon as the sit was confirmed and everything went as planned. She stayed in touch throughout the sit, sending me updates with photos of very content kittens. I got home to a lovely note and a very tidy house. I’d highly recommend Mary as a sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to have her back.

Alice

Alice was a great house sitter. She was very communicative and easy to get hold of during the sit. She left the place really tidy and the cats were extremely chilled and content on my return. Thanks so much Alice!

Janis

Really a 5* sitter! Melanie came to catsit a second time and although we weren’t able to meet for key handovers, she communicated on her time of arrival and found keys in an agreed spot. She took great care of my kitties and send her photos while i was away. She also took care of SweetPea’s overgrooming spot and was so sweet to have left my place cleaned and fresh bedsheets. Like i said, she’s just great, the cats agree! 🐾

Sarah

Natasha was a brilliant pet sitter for my 3.  She did not have an easy time with my elderly dog who came down with pneumonia 2 days before her housesit started.  She was so good at keeping a keen eye on Basil and how the illness progressed.  She soon realised when he started to go down hill (despite the anitbiotic course he was on), she took him to the vet and a second prescriptions of antibiotics knocked the pneumonia on the head.  She cared for him very well, keeping an ear out at night that he was comfortable while also keeping my energetic chewing puppy in check.  Amazingly I came home to nothing having been chewed that shouldn't have been, no mean feat!  
Natasha was very communicative when I needed her to be and self reliant between.  She left the house in good order and kindly stripped her bed and washed the sheets before leaving.
I fully recommend her to any house and pet owner.
