Stephanie took such great care of our home and pets. We have a tough cat who isn’t getting along with the other pets but somehow they bonded so much and that made our hearts very happy. She took great care of our home. Highly recommend!!
Anujin and Robert were fantastic! Very self sufficient, and made us feel very comfortable being away from home. They gave us updates regularly and were loving and understanding with Jasper our large active golden doodle. The house was in perfect condition when we came home. I would highly recommend them for a quality sit.
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?

Dawn took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. She sent us regular updates and made sure before hand that our dog would get all the specialty care she needed and left our house very clean. Thank you!
We have not used a pet sitter before so was a little apprehensive, but we need not have worried as Dawn was wonderful! She was friendly, kept us up to date throughout our two week holiday and loved our dog as if she were her own and the house was just as we had left it. Thank you so much Dawn, will be in touch for our next holiday!
Dawn is a fantastic pet sitter. Our dog is very anxious but Dawn took the time to build a bond with her and we felt very comfortable leaving her whilst we were away. Dawns regular pupdates put our mind at rest that our little fur baby was in the best hands. 100% recommend!
My lovely but difficult dog was very happy when the lovely Dawn came to stay and look after her for a week at short notice. Dawn has a lot of knowledge of canine behaviour, and gave us some helpful tips on our return which we've since put into practice. I would happily ask Dawn to pet sit for us again without hesitation.
Dawn was tuned in to the dogs and looked comfortable and in control. They were relaxed on my return, the house was clean and tidy, and the dogs had been well looked after. If I need a dog sitter in the future I would certainly hope that Dawn has availability. Thank you.
I would highly recommend Dawn. She arrived on time ready to look after our two dogs all day. She was great with our dogs and followed their daily routine as requested. I also really appreciated the little updates and photos of the dogs throughout the day, it really put my mind at ease. They seemed happy and content, and I would definitely book again in the future. Thank you, Dawn.
Good service. Dawn is very thorough and responsible with her job. I did not worry at all about my pets while I was away. She gives the updates you request and the dogs also liked her.
This is an update to my earlier review in December 2023. As planned Dawn came to look after our large house and our young lively fox red Labrador for 6 weeks from the end of January to mid-March. She did a fabulous job. She was very attentive to Freddie's needs and knows her stuff when it comes to dog psychology! The house was looked after extremely well and it was left in excellent condition. She kept us regularly informed about developments and sent us lots of photos of Freddie while we were away. She was very responsive when we needed to contact her about things to do with the house. We felt very confident that she was able to take everything in her stride and that Freddie was being very well looked after. We came home to a very happy dog and everything all in order at home. What more could we ask for? We will certainly be happy to use Dawn again when we go away and have no reservations in recommending her to others. Thanks Dawn.
I trust Dawn with my pets as she has looked after them so many times before, my chihuahua absolutely adores her and never wanted to leave her side!
Dawn looked after my cat while I was on holiday and sent lots of photographs of her having cuddles and playing with him and it was so reassuring. I can highly recommend this service.
