Cat Sitters in St Margarets Bay

Siobhan

Siobhan and Paul returned for a second stay with Billy. They are great house sitters and lovely with Billy. We enjoyed the most relaxing time away knowing that Billy was safe and very happy with them. Siobhan and Paul kept us updated with lots of photos of Billy enjoying walks and lots of attention. We arrived back to a spotless house. Thank you so much Siobhan and Paul - I hope you come back again!

Donna & Paul

Donna and her family were brilliant Housesitters. They looked after Charlie, our black lab, and our cats so well that Charlie was a little bereft when we got back from our trip. I think he really misses them!! The house was super clean and tidy and Donna left us a beautiful chocolate banana bread that was absolutely delicious. Her communication was excellent and we would have no hesitation in recommending her and her family for a stay. We certainly hope to have them stay again next time we go away. Five stars!!!

Aimee

I can’t recommend Aimee (and Tom) highly enough as house and pet sitters. Right from the start I got a real sense that Aimee is a very intelligent, empathetic, caring and respectful person which is what we were looking for in a housesitter. She was brilliant with our dogs and knew how to get them to trust her from the get go (same as with us!) She was keen to spend some time with us and the dogs before we went away so she could understand our routines, the house and our way of life. She took on board some of the quirks of our house without any issues. She was also brilliantly communicative while we were away, sending pics, videos and updates. She also left everything beautifully so it was a joy to return to.

Sarah & Matt

Sarah & Matt took a long stay option with us over 4 months. The start was smoothly coordinated by Sarah and she kept in touch with up dates through the period. The house was as we left it on our return and our two cats looked well and at ease. As both Sarah and Matt had flexible work arrangements we were confident they would enjoy the stay duration. We can clearly recommend them for similar stays.

Jacqueline & Cameron

Joanna

Joanna looked after our 2 boys, Marco and Benji, she left the house clean and tidy and was very reliable

Judith

Great sitter, arrrived on time, was super sweet. No issues

Laura & Owen

Laura and Owen were hugely helpful and a lovely couple who I felt happy to leave my dog with (and my home!) I would definitely use them again!

Jackie & Dean

Jackie and Dean were just terrific house sitters from the moment we started corresponding with each other. They put us totally at ease leaving our 5 month old puppy with them . They looked after her brilliantly and the house and garden 🪴. We would recommend them highly and indeed hope they will return ! Thank you

Melisa

Melisa and Dan were the perfect housesitters for our recent trip to France! Melisa bonded with our Rhodesian Ridgeback very quickly and it was great to know that our furry friends were in such capable and caring hands. Our home was extremely well looked after and was lovely to back to. Communication with Melisa was easy. We would be delighted if Melisa and Daniel were available to housesit for us again.

Anna

Anna was our first ever sitter and she did a great job looking after our elderly labradoodle. When she had a problem she contacted us quickly and we were able to find a way forward. Highly recommended!

Annie

In the lead up to the house sit, we had a couple of calls with Annie and Mark, which were very useful and reassuring for us, given this was our first experience of zeewoi. Communication and timing of arrival was excellent. Given we were still sorting out various "things" before we departed, we were able to get to know them and do a full hand over, which they took in their stride and allowed us to quickly relax about leaving Nelson the Flatboat and the house in their capable hands. A couple of updates with pictures were sent during our holiday which is what we had asked for and were well received. We would welcome Mark and Annie back should we make future holiday arrangements and it fitted with their schedule. We arrived home to a very excitable Nelson, and a sense that the house had been well looked after as well. Thank you.

Marissa

Elise took wonderful care of Oscar and our home for a few nights. She was very communicative, left everything clean and tidy, and would not hesitate to invite her to look after our home again. Thank you!

Janet

Ashley had car issues the day before the sit, unsure if she could sit.  Ashley gave us a bad feeling but assured us she could sit. She said she needed $1200 to get her car fixed. 
She canceled during the sit and said she was done, find someone ride and left.  We were left stranded. She was negative, rude and insulting. I would never have her sit for us again. 

We had someone come by the night before to help us out and apparently left a few crumbs on the stove/ floor. We think the dogs peed on the carpet bc she was so late getting to the house. 
Only use her If you’re ok with the negativity, insults, and potential for last minute cancellation.
