Cat Sitters in Scone

Madelyn

Madelyn (who also goes by Abi) was our first house sitter, so we were a little nervous about leaving both our nervous dog and our home in the hands of someone we simply found through this app. However, we needn’t have worried, as everything went so smoothly. Abi kept in touch just the right amount, was clearly happy in our home and -most importantly - she and Ziggy formed a quick bond that isn’t always easy with our anxious old dog! Our house was perfectly neat and tidy, and I appreciated that Abi had taken the time to wash and change her sheets. I have honestly rarely come home after travelling to find Ziggy so relaxed and happy! We This has clearly worked really well, so we are now more confident in zeewoi, and would have Abi/Madelyn back in a heartbeat.

Stephanie

Perfect ! Steph was amazing, looking after my dog and my home. She is reliable, friendly - really only great things to say ! I hope she’ll come back, and I’m sure Mason agrees. 🐶💙

Lesley

Lesley made friends with Rico within minutes of her arrival. He warmed to her immediately, and they remained good friends throughout Lesley's stay in my home. By the time I left for my time away I felt entirely comfortable about leaving Rico in Lesley's care. She put his needs first in all the outings and activities that she undertook during her stay, and I think he really enjoyed the attention he got from her. During the time she was here she communicated well with me and sent photos. I wasn't at all worried or concerned during my time away which meant that I could enjoy my break all the more. The house was clean, neat and tidy when I arrived home and the house plants were looking very happy. She did some outdoor watering as well, but rain meant that she didn't have to do very much. Lesley is a warm and friendly person and I have no hesitation at all in recommending her as a house sitter. I hope that one day she'll come back to look after Rico again.

Beatrice & Andrea

Beatrice was really easy to communicate with in advance, and throughout the sit - and clearly looked after my dog (and my flat!) really well. Would definitely recommend 😊

Sinead

Sinead and Luke were brilliant sitters! From the start they were great communicators and super friendly. They looked after our home so well and took such great care of our dog, Makatini. We absolutely loved the photo updates - the pictures that they took were gorgeous! Highly recommend!

Annie

Annie is lovely, warm, friendly and my animals loved her stay!!!

julie

Very communicative, house very clean. Pets happy 😊 Excellent pet sitter :)

hannah

It was a pleasure to meet Hannah and I was confident she would do an excellent job of house sitting for my cat while I was away All was well on my return.

Patrick & Mary

Patrick and Mary were wonderful. They were clearly very confident and experienced sitters which made us feel relaxed and in excellent hands. They were extremely clean and tidy, looked after our dog like their own and were very self reliant and independent. Even when their circumstances changed, they did not let us down and were truly lovely people. I would highly recommend them.

Rachel

Rachel was a perfect house sitter for our flat & our cat Charlie. She's friendly and reliable! Good communication - beforehand, during and after, which is always very important to us. The flat was left clean and tidy and Charlie seemed happy and content. I highly recommend Rachel as a sitter.

Duncan & Lizbeth

Thank you Duncan & Lisbeth for being our first housesitters. A new experience for us so was not sure what to expect or do. Minty adored you both, so much so she wanted to leave with you in your car when you left and then sulked for the first 24 hours. Minty was not at all happy to see her mum and dad home who deserted her home again. Things have returned to normal again in our household. Thank you for leaving our home as you found it. We will use this service again, thanks to this lovely couple.

Lucie

There really aren't enough wonderful words to describe Lucie and Oliver's care of our 4 (!!!) dogs, cat and chickens. They were exceptional...kind, loving toward the pack and perfect house sitters...they left everything very clean and tidy...this is not easy with 4 shedding dogs! I highly recommend them and hope they would like to return one day...perhaps in summer when our weather is warm and wonderful. Thanks Lucie and Oliver for everything!!

Aimee Warner

Lina and Georg were absolutely wonderful house/pet sitter and I have had them sit for me on various occasions. They are very caring, respectful and compassionate with my fur babies, looking after them and my place as if they were their own. My two beautiful cats were very happy, received lots of love and updates pics were sent throughout the sit. Further to this my house was left beautifully clean and tidy making my time away from home alot less stressful. I highly recommend Lina and Georg to come and sit for you 😻😻

Hazel

Louise and Josh were punctual, communicative and flexible on arrangements for arrival and departure.  The dogs were well looked after and exercised which is very important to us. One dog has a sensitive digestive system so we have to be careful what he eats and they took onboard our relatively complicated instructions for both dogs’ care. 

What we didn’t realise until after they left was that their use of utilities was considerably more than we would consume.  For example, four times more electricity over the same amount of time.  We felt we were generous in terms of what we made available, including provisions for their use, but the spirit of that generosity maybe wasn’t reciprocated in terms of how they looked after the house.
