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
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least £19.99 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
If you are like me and treat your dog as part of the family, look no further, Dogsaloud is what you are looking for! We have now boarded our 5 year old Standard Poodle, Abby, with Nilly and Ron for almost 4 years and I have to confess that they are like adoptive parents for our puppy. We go on vacation with absolute peace of mind, knowing that my "little baby" is being taken care of with the same dedication and love that I would give her. She is allowed on the couch, feed exactly what we instruct, taken on nice long walks and most importantly truly cared for. It's so reassuring to know she is in good hands, that now that we live in Belgium we still drive all the way back to UK to leave her at Nilly's care when we go on vacation! Last year we were in China for 3 weeks and I would have not enjoyed myself as much if Abby hadn't been with Nilly & Ron. I seriously can't thank them enough for not only caring for, but also giving our dog a "home away from home"! Thank you Dogsaoud ! ! !
I don’t think I can put into words just how fantastic Dogsaloud is and how much it means to my husband and I to have Nilly and Ron looking after our dog. We came across Dogsaloud by chance after moving to the area and it turned out to be the perfect place for Hazel. She’s been going to Nilly’s for about 3 years now and she absolutely loves it there, she pulls towards Nilly’s door when we walk past and when we drop her off she runs straight upstairs and makes herself comfy on the sofa, not one look back. It’s much more than a boarding place, it has become a second home for Hazel. We love it that she spends her time in a house in the company of people and other dogs and not isolated in a kennel; she goes for nice, long walks, and in fact we found out about a lot of great walking places from Nilly; she’s well looked after and she’s even allowed to sleep in bed UNDER THE COVERS, just like she does at home. Nilly’s been absolutely brilliant from the beginning, very accommodating and very flexible, which is great for two disorganized people like us. She’s helped us out in many, many ways, even taking Hazel to the vet for us when she got injured just before we started work. We really couldn’t ask for anything more, Dogsaloud is excellent!!!
So lucky to have found Lucy. Our 4yr old Havanese Chico is a nervous little rescue who is not keen on some people or other dogs. He has taken to Lucy straight away & her two little dogs Lola & Honey. Lucy keeps us updated often during the day with photos of him enjoying himself so we can leave him with complete peace of mind. We have even booked a holiday which would have been a complete no no a few months back but we know Chico will be well taken care of with Lucy.
Karen E - Teddy has been with Nilly since she was about 10 or 11 months old. I was let down by someone who looked after her and I needed someone to look after her quickly and someone I could trust. My neighbour recommended her to me because her dog also went to Nilly. My dog is a bit unsure of new people, and Nilly was very good at making sure that Teddy wasn't really stressed out by her coming into the house and taking her for a walk without me being there. Believe me, Nilly has been amazing and Teddy loves her. She now looks after Teddy full time which has been a huge relief for me. I don't know what I would do without her. She treats Teddy like her own dog. In fact, she says that Teddy is her dog and that she only goes home at night with me. Very funny and Teddy actually waits for me to take her to Nilly's in the mornings. I also leave her with Nilly and Ron when I go away and I feel so much better because Nilly sends me pictures and makes sure that I don't worry too much about her. I don't know why I even worry about her because she's so happy there, that she takes herself to bed when she's tired. Nilly loves the dogs so much and she looks after them so well. They are totally spoilt but it's great. It makes me happy that Teddy is always looked after and cared for. I really don't want her to go to anyone else. Nilly is the best :)
I thoroughly recommend Nilly, my dog stays with her a couple of days each week, often for longer than this as my husband and I travel with work a lot. My dog really enjoys staying there, and the other dogs are very friendly. My dog is very precious to me and I trust Nilly and her husband Ron to take good care of her.
good
From the first time we met Melissa and everyone at Barking Mad we have been more than Happy. Our dog Henry loves tham all and when he goes to stay with "Granny & Grandpa" he so excited he never looks back. We never worry while we are away and he always comes home happy and I am sure he has been well looked after and a bit spoiled. Melisa and the local Barking Mad team are simply the best and we would have no worries recommending them to anyone. A&P
Poppy, my dog and I just love Barking Mad! I was very worried leaving Poppy for the first time but Melissa made a perfect choice of host family for her. I receive regular updates and photos of her enjoying her Barking Mad holidays. I am so confident that she is well cared for she is already booked in for two holidays next year! It is obvious to people who know me well, to realise I am extremely attached and bonded with Poppy and I would not be happy to leave her with anyone else but Barking Mad Staines and her wonderful host family.
Barking Mad and Melissa are second to none! She and her team deliver a top class, professional and friendly service. My pet, Barney, has had several holidays with Barking Mad's caring hosts and has enjoyed everyone of them! I would highly recommend Melissa's business to anyone who wants their pet to be well cared for and loved, whilst they enjoy their well earned holiday.
We have been using Barking Mad Middlesex for 2 years now, ever since Harley, our lovely collie/greyhound/saluki mix, joined the family, so he has been on many holidays. Melissa is very efficient and we have total confidence in her and her team. They match up the dog with the perfect families to give Harley a lovey time while we are out working or on holiday. He always comes back looking well cared for and loved. So much more peace of mind than leaving him in kennels - you know someone is taking special care of your special family member!
Melissa is the best thing that has happened to us, we used to take our last dog to kennels, but I was never happy, I knew she was safe, but she seemed very low when she came home. When we got sparky, I saw the Barking mad van and went on the website to see what it was about, I rejoiced that there was an alternative to kennels and registered my interest, Melissa contacted me very quickly and then came around to meet sparky and chat to me, she found we were suitable for home boarding and sparky went for an overnight to see how she got on, she came back, full of beans and happy and Melissa told me that her and the host got on really well, so that was it, after her first holiday, Melissa brought her back and she ran in, wagged her tail at me and ran straight back out and jumped in the car again, she'd had that good a time. Melissa is the perfect person to run barking mad Staines, she is enthusiastic, kind and is totally in love with dogs, if I ever need a last minute booking, she pulls out all the stops for me, bottom line, she really cares that the dogs she places for their holidays are happy and well matched with their host families, I can now go on holiday knowing that Sparky is having as good a time as we are.
Melissa/Barking Mad has been awesome from day one. Barking Mad carefully places your dog with the right sitter, communicates well and is easy to book with. We have used Barking Mad many times, sometimes for up to two months, and have always had great experiences. Our dog is always happy to go with them. It is well worth the price.
We have boarded our Irish Setter Oberon with Barking Mad several times over the last 6 years, before and after Melissa took over the business. We were always delighted with Melissa’s assistance: Oberon had the chance to stay with 3-4 different hosts over the years and always found very careful and kind families who loved him! It is also a bonus that Melissa try to arrange the holidays when the same hosts whenever possible, so there is a real bond building up with the dog! We have always received frequent updates (and this was great for us, in particular when Oberon was hosted while we were away for few weeks on a very remote location!) and never doubted for a moment that Oberon was having a lot of fun all the time. Proof of this is that whenever he sees the Barking Mad van coming to pick him up he jumps around with joy and looks forward to go! He barely says us goodbye! He has been treated by the hosts as a member of the family, as he is for us, and has always come back from his holidays super happy. Using host families is much better then kennels for family dogs and Melissa has always been outstanding at organizing everything, always ready to do the extra mile for us! We would never hesitate to recommend her and actually we already had lot of friends who tried, and fell in love with this amazing service!
I am so glad that Melissa and her fantastic Barking Mad business are here for me and my little shih tzu Monty. Melissa is a delight and Monty is always absolutely thrilled to see her. Melissa has a great connection with dogs and their humans - it's hard not to feel calm and reassured by her. Professional, friendly and caring ensuring that I have complete peace of mind that Monty is well cared for at the home of a host that Melissa has carefully chosen. He loves his holidays with Barking Mad and although I miss him I know he is caring and capable hands with Melissa. She and her hosts are just fab.
Melissa and Barking Mad take wonderful care of our dog, Daisy. I wouldn’t send her anywhere else when we go on holiday. Daisy enjoys her time with her hosts and they usually spoil her with lots of walks. Highly recommend!
What a brilliant service. Melissa was professional, thorough and very warm - and clearly loves dogs! She placed our dog with a truly great host family who looked after Islay as their own, gave her 2 long walks a day and clearly lots of love. She definitely didn't want to come home! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Melissa and her hosts. Thank you!
My dog Lulu can be a bit tricky and with my wedding coming up, my usual carers won't be available. So I turned to Home From Home Dog Boarding to start building a connection with a capable carer. We were introduced to Monika and Alessandro who turned out to be more than perfect. They have great experience with bigger and stronger dogs. Lulu had a great weekend and I didn't worry once whilst I was away for the weekend. They sent great updates and took Lulu out for day trips and were so accommodating when plans changed and I needed to pick her up later than planned. She had a great time and is already booked in for more holidays and I can know that I can focus on my wedding next year and not worry about Lulu enjoying herself as well!
We have used home from boarding twice now and both times they have been excellent. We have you two different carers for our dog Skye and both times they have been brilliant! Keeping us updated with messages and photos both times. This is a great peace of mind that your dog is safe and in great hands. Please pass on our thanks to Maddie for all her efforts on the last stay. Thanks again home from home boarding
Ive used Home from Home dog boarding for years now and can honestly say they are the best. The usual carer they went to wasn’t available so they stayed with Natalie and her husband H. Such a lovely couple, who adore dogs and have lots of experience. I got daily updates and went away knowing they’re being looked after. If anything happens to one of them there’s 24 hour support from Home from Home. Staff in the office are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended
I had a tricky challenge to sort. Having secured a hard won place on a round the world yacht race who could look after my precious pup for months? I found the answer with Home from Home. They were 110% helpful and supportive from the moment I contacted them. The person they found to look after my dog was wonderful and took the very best care of her. All watched over by the Home from Home team. Thank you all for your wonderful service. I highly recommend them.
amazing couple Pam & John looked after my anxious girl. She had such a lovely time she was unsure about coming home!! Thank you for a perfect couple who I woukd trust again.
We cannot thank Home from Home Boarding, and especially Nicola, enough for the amazing care she provided for our 7-month-old dachshund puppy, Remi! This was our first time leaving her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The company was incredibly efficient and quick to get in touch, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Knowing that Remi was in the hands of someone who genuinely cared for her and gave her undivided love and attention 24/7 was such a relief. Nicola was FANTASTIC! She made us feel so comfortable from the start and kept us updated with the most lovely ‘pupdates’ that brightened our days while we were away. It was clear how much Nicola cared for Remi, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, if anything Remi has been returned better behaved than when we left! We highly recommend Home from Home Boarding and Nicola to anyone needing a trusted and caring home from home for their furry family member. Thank you so much! 🌟🐾
First time using Home from Home Boarding for my boy. Morris was placed with a lovely couple who treated him like he was there own. This made my holiday worry free knowing he was in safe hands. Will definitely be using again . Thank you Joyce and Dave.
This is the second time Eddie and Vera have looked after Tiago and despite there being a year in between stays he was so excited to see them and return to their home. It is so reassuring for my wife and I to know that he is happy and well cared for by them and we are very grateful that he too had a wonderful holiday! Thank you Eddie and Vera! The Home From Home booking experience is straightforward and easy and we are very happy that it provided us with great carers for our dog.
Excellent, efficient and friendly service from Home from Home. The lady they found for us (Pat) is delightful. So lovely with our dogs and has a beautiful garden which they loved. Can highly recommend, thank you.
We visited the family first before committing to the booking, and that made us confident our dog would be in safe hands and well looked after. We delivered the dog with all the bedding, food, toys, meds, treats. And when we collected her after the boarding, it's clear there was an affectionate bond between the dog and the family (both ways). She was very well cared for, and I'd say she had a fantastic time. Wendy send us a few photos over WhatsApp too — lovely to see. Will be booking again next year.
Penny came to visit and play with our cat whilst we were away for 4 days. We couldn’t recommend her enough. She was extremely professional, always punctual & went above and beyond to make sure Neva was happy, including doing some tasks we hadn’t initially agreed (feeding etc.). She also shared updates on each visit and really made sure that we knew Neva was in good hands! Thanks very much x
I’ve yet to see an animal that doesn’t love Penny! Both my dog and cat ADORE her! 🐾 She has a lovely balance of being kind, caring and soppy and responsible, strong and firm if needed! 🐾 I have a large, wilful, very strong dog and I trust Penny implicitly to walk her without any concerns - you might have some competition for your animals’ affections.
Never, ever have I seen my dog so happy as he is spending time here.
Bright Days/Andy is a passionate dog walker , he takes my dog once a week and she runs out to greet him with a wagging tail and big lick , Andy makes sure she has a great walk as the dogs are well matched with other dogs on the walk. She does get muddy, but it’s worth it, because she loves it so much! I get pics/videos and the dogs have plenty of exercise in the countryside! My cockapoo always comes home tired and happy! Andy is equipped with treats, balls, and first aid to deal with any situation and he has even delivered homemade dog biscuits at Christmas which was a lovely surprise.
Andy has been walking my two dogs, 5 days a week for a couple of years now, he is very reliable and my dogs love him. I am confident my dogs are safe with Andy as well as getting a good walk at a variety of locations. I have a mud lover, Andy always hoses him down and dries him off with a towel I leave out. I would highly recommend Bright Days dog care.
Andy has a calm, caring personality and loves dogs. Our dog, who is selective in who she bonds with, absolutely adores Andy and his family.
Very good dog care my dogs love going to see andy he is with out a doubt a dog whisperer has a caring attitude to all dogs and reassures owners when you leave your pets with him would reccomend his dog day care
We’ve been very impressed right from our first contact with Home from Home. Martin and Emily were very responsive and thorough when dealing with our registration and first booking. They were able to find a carer who’s experienced with our breed, which was very important to us. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful carer! She sent us regular ‘pupdates’ and we were able to enjoy our break safe in the knowledge that our dog was having a lovely holiday too! We won’t hesitate to use the service again - very highly recommended!
We tried Happy Tails and Trails for our dog Honey when she had pups. Happy Tails and Trails took Honey out for walks to give her a break from the pups but also made puppy visits for us once they were self-sufficient too. They built up Honey's walks gradually so that she wasn't away from them for too long at first and they have since (bravely!) taken on the daytime walking of the two pups we have kept too - quite a handful all in all! The level of service we get clearly displays a real affection for dogs and that is very much reciprocated by our dogs too - they really enjoy their trips out and really seem to benefit from the variety of locations used by Happy Tails and Trails. We are delighted with the care our dogs receive and have already recommended them to friends and colleagues.
Happy Tails and Trails in Chertsey are brilliant with my pup and if your looking for dog walking services then I would recommend giving them a call :-)
Great service and very reliable!
