Beth and Matthew have been my first house sitters - and I was their first house sit too. Beth and Matthew have been great. I was a little nervous as this was the first time I've the zeewoi platform and service. Beth contacted me to let me know that one of my dogs had a sore on her chest and sent me a video to let me see and decide what to do. We agreed my dog needed to be seen by a vet and within a few hours my dog had antibiotics. Beth even popped into a shop to buy my dog a jumper to wear as the vet had recommended this to stop her scratching the sore. When I got home Beth had washed all their bedding and the house was clean and tidy. Both Beth and Matthew are a lovely couple and I would definitely recommend them both if you are looking for reliable and trustworthy house and pet sitters.
Erica was great! Easy to communicate with and very self -sufficient when we ended up being out of service for several days. Pingo and the house were clearly in good hands, we came back to a spotless house with a freshly made bed and a happy dog. We'd definitely have Erica again!
I am so grateful to Victoria for taking such wonderful care of my elder cats,, Zoe and Mischief, my home and my garden! She stayed in touch, and even sent photos of Zoe and Mischief, which further reassured me that my kitties and my home were in good hands while I was away. In short, I feel lucky to have connected with Victoria through zeewoi, wouldn't hesitate to call on her again, and recommend her without reservation.
This was my first time using zeewoi. Not only did I have to prepare my home for a guest but prepare myself for leaving my boys with someone I had only met through a zoom call. Right away, I was put at ease as Sharon just gravitated right to my boys. She asked questions about info that I had missed in my welcome pack that made me rest assured that she was on the ball. Throughout my trip, Sharon kept in touch with me about how the boys were getting along... I was so relieved hearing that their usual playful selves was apparent. Given that our flight home was going to be late, she insisted on waiting until we were heading out of the airport before leaving the boys with their last walk until we came home. When we walked through our front door, the boys were chilling out, our home was spotless, and she even washed the bedding. I can recommend Sharon with 100% certainty that your pets will be in great hands. Thanks Sharon for everything.
Jaclyn was a wonderful sitter for our dog Tucker! She was always quick to respond to communications, she was easy-going and excited to sit with Tucker, she shared updates (with pictures) while we were away, and she left our house cleaner than when we left - she even ran the dishwasher, which we forgot to do before we left! She and Tucker bonded immediately, and when we returned home it was clear that he had a great time with Jaclyn. We can't recommend her highly enough!
I can’t say enough good things about Felicia! She was willing to come over ahead of time so we could meet her. Lele took an instant liking to her (and I think it was mutual).😁 Felicia showed up on time, checked in on a regular basis while I was away, and sent photos of Lele, too. I tend to over prepare, and Felicia was accepting of that and helped me feel okay about my preparation and absence. I felt very comfortable leaving, knowing the most important thing, Lele, was well taken care of. This is my first time using zeewoi, so I didn’t really know what to expect. Felicia far exceeded all of my hopes and expectations. I would absolutely love to have Felicia come back again!
I am so glad that my cat, Duque, and I met Sharon! She is a wonderful person, very kind with pets, thorough with house care and communicative. Sharon's cleaning (and brownies!) went above and beyond and my cat did not seem to have missed me much when I got home. I recommend Sharon if she applies for your sit and we hope to welcome her back to our home one day.
Julie and Adrian were ideal pet and house sitters. Julie and Damian are very friendly and made sure to go over details and ask questions when they arrived. We came home to very happy and contented pets. Our dog and cat clearly got lots of love and attention (also clear from the great photos that Julie and Adrian sent us). The house was immaculate when we came home. We could not ask for better, more trusted, house sitters.
Although they are experienced pet sitters this was their first sit with zeewoi and they were wonderful. Jyoti (our cat) was completely at ease and spent plenty of time on their laps. The chickens were well looked after and they managed the broody one efficiently. Excellent communication before and during the house sit. They followed our detailed instructions conscientiously and left the house clean and tidy. They cooked a meal for us on our return and we enjoyed getting to know them. We would welcome them back any time and highly recommend them for future sits.
Lea was so wonderful, we highly recommend her. She was friendly and communicative throughout, sending us daily updates and photos. We returned back to a beautifully cleaned house and a very happy cat, we are so grateful- she was an absolute delight

I can't thank Diane enough for taking my daughters dog out for 2 daily walks a day while she was away, due to my mobility issues I can't manage with a proper dog walk and nothing was too much trouble for her. Bella absolutely loved her and came back each time so happy. Will definitely use again if needed. She even came to meet Bella the day before and ask about any likes/dislikes/concerning Bella. Definitely recommend and can't thank her enough.
Diana "Scranimals" (Licensed Dog Services) was highly recommended to us by Durham County Council as well as K9 Pursuits Dog Day Care and Training Centre. Diana takes GREAT care of our 3 dogs with much love, care and outdoor exercise. Her services are super affordable. Our dogs are medium to large with the largest being a senior dog. They love Diana and look forward to her visits. Diana always keeps us in the loop with how all of our pups behaved during her visits via written notes and/or text messages. We trust her professional assistance and thoroughly endorse her services.
Our two dogs have just come back from an overnight stay with Scranimals as our usual boarding was fully booked. We were a little nervous taking them somewhere new but wouldn't hesitate in taking them back there again. Diana was so warm and friendly and the homely environment had them settled in no time. Diana really takes on board the little personalities of each of the dogs and treats them as her own. Great value for money too! Thank you!!
The most knowledgeable lady I know on so many breeds of animal and simply loves animals too. Lovely lady who will treat your pets like her own. Prices are great value too. Thank you for having our rabbits and pup, they loved their time with you
My dog's love Scranimals for walks and sleepovers. Diana is like the dog whisperer she just has a nack with them. She's very good with my naughty Patterdale terrier.T, Tiny listening to Diana more than me. I wouldn't let my dogs stay anywhere else.
I use Diana’s service a lot for my pup and she loves it , coming home tired and happy. Great service. Diana is warm and friendly.
Much better prices than anywhere else and animals so well taken care of. Such a lovely woman and is so reliable. Extremely professional and would definitely recommend!!!
My dog came home happy and tired from playing all day.
Bit expensive
Brilliant 👍 …
Our Sprocker, Skye, is a very anxious but loving soul and thrives on routine. She has had separation issues since we rescued her at 8months old. Leaving her with others has been a big decision in the past. However, after an overnight stay at Skyecroft last year, we didn't hesitate to book her in for 10days, this year. We collected a happy, contented and yes, excited girl on our return. Photographs have shown Skye bonding and blending in with her band of black- coated buddies! Also, receiving some favoured, individual attention. Thanks to Wendy's prompt, efficient handling of the booking and the care of the whole team, Skye will be making return visits, without any hesitation.🐾
We went away for 12 days. It was our first time leaving our puppy for more than a day since we brought him home. Skyecroft shares photos on their Facebook almost every day of the dogs on their playdates. I really enjoyed being able to see these while we were gone as it gave me reassurance that he was having a nice time while we were away. He looked like he had been really well taken care of upon picking him up and seemed very happy! We will certainly be using Skyecroft again. I also look forward to using their groomer next time he visits as she was away while we were there but seems to do an excellent job
Ted & Lucy recently spent 6 nights at Skyecroft. We were naturally apprehensive as this was the first time we had left them so long. However, when we went to pick them up, both of them were very relaxed and happy and had obviously enjoyed their stay. They were also in immaculate condition. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the dogs seemed to have taken to them judging by the photos on the website. Highly recommended!
Was a bit wary when we took Monty here for the first time but the staff are very friendly and put me at ease.and Monty was ok to go with them. He has been back a couple of times since and greets them with a tail that's wagging nonstop and seems very happy to see them. They also have a grooming parlour and at the end of your dogs stay you can get them groomed if you want for an extra fee.We had this with Monty and he looked and smelt lovely. They show you around the kennels and where the dogs go walks etc. I Never had any problems and recommend them to all my friends.
Our boys always enjoy there stay here. The come home dry, clean and healthy. When we drop them off the dogs are so excited to be there.
Our boxer dog loves going to Skyecroft and they take very good care of him. They have been so helpful when we had a family bereavement - this situation would have been so much more difficult without them. He also loved his play date with his new friend. It really is lovely to see him pull to go in, so I know he will have an enjoyable day.
Wendy and the staff have just cared for my puppy Millie. A huge thanks for helping her as she is a nervous and quiet dog, hopefully during her next stay she will be more confident. Well done Skycroft.
We had a free dog trial day for Wilson and then had a 7 night stay for Wilson and our cat Doug. The trial day went amazing considering Wilson is quite a hyper young dog, we were over the moon that there was nothing but good things to be said about him which put me at ease for his long stay. When I called to check on them while we were away, I was made to feel comfortable straight away knowing both animals were perfectly safe and happy. The staff at skyecroft have been brilliant with us, including me adding on an extra night very last minute for the stay. We are always welcomed with a smile and they always go into detail about the animals without hesitation even at busier times. I couldn't recommend a place more and the size of the cattery is brilliant as our cat is both indoor/outdoor and he wasn't a bother. We have booked a further 2 weeks this year for the animals as they came back so well behaved and we feel comfortable enough to go away knowing they're getting the best possible care they can! Thankyou everyone at Skyecroft! X
This was my 3 year old Gsd's first stay in a kennels and I was a bit anxious as he can get stressed. But Wendy and the team were so reassuring and complimentary about his behaviour. They clearly have a great rapport with all their 'guests' and i am very happy to used Skyecroft as our go-to Kennels & cattery. Five stars!!!
They are really friendly staff how seem to care about the dogs floki loved it. It didn't change him one bit brilliant
