Pet Sitters in Thurgarton

John

This was John’s second stay with our crew and it was great for the dogs to have a familiar face looking after them. He deals with Maggie’s little quirks with good humour and has left our home clean and tidy. Hopefully he’ll agree to come and housesit again soon.

Melanie & Darron

Mel and Darren were fantastic sitters. They looked after our pets very well and we had lots of updates and photos. Our house was spotless when we came back with a lovely card,chocolates and even milk! We would love them to sit for us again and would highly recommend.

Colleen & Allison

Colleen and Allison are simply wonderful. We had a brilliant evening meal together with them the night before we left and cannot praise everything Colleen and Allison did for us and our pets. Our pets although pleased to see us obviously had had a wonderful time. The house was immaculate and they are such thoughtful lovely people we cannot praise them enough. We honestly could not ask for more and just once again want to give them a massive thank you.

Michael & Pamela

We were very pleased when Mike and Pam agreed to sit for us a second time so soon after their first sit. They were very flexible and arrived a couple of hours before our departure which was arranged at short notice. It was lovely to see how Blanca and Leyla were very relaxed with both of them as soon as they arrived which enabled us to leave without any worries, knowing that the house and pets were in very good and loving hands. During our time away we received updates and photos and the sit was as smooth as the first one. We were very grateful that Mike and Pam were able to stay a few hours longer than had been previously agreed as our return flight was delayed and instead of arriving home at 22.45, we arrived at 02.45. On arriving home, we found two contented, clearly well cared for cats and a tidy and clean house; just as after their first sit. Unfortunately, Mike and Pam won't be able to sit for us in October/November due to their other commitments but we are so pleased that they have agreed to a long sit this winter. Thank you very much, Mike and Pam for looking after Blanca, Leyla and the fish and for being so flexible and understanding.

jason

This is the second time Jason has sat for us. We had the pleasure of having Jason back to look after our home and our dog, Fergus, while we were away, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, Jason was the epitome of reliability, care, and professionalism. Fergus is quite particular about his routine and can be a bit anxious when we're not around. However, Jason's calm and attentive demeanor immediately put Fergus at ease. It was clear from the daily updates and photos we received that Fergus was not only well-cared for but was genuinely enjoying his time with Jason. We returned to find Fergus happy, healthy, and clearly well-exercised. Jason went above and beyond in caring for our home as well. He ensured everything was kept tidy, brought in the mail, fed the fish, and watered our plants. It was such a relief to come back to a clean and well-maintained home. Communication with Jason was seamless. He was always quick to respond to messages and kept us informed about how things were going, which greatly eased our minds during our time away. We highly recommend Jason to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring housesitter. His dedication and love for animals truly shine through, and we are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care he provided to Fergus and our home. Thank you, Jason, for your outstanding service. We will definitely be reaching out to you again for any future housesitting needs!

Henry

Henry was a great sitter! Communication was great from the outset. He asked thoughtful questions, so I knew my kitty would be in good hands. During the sit, he kept us updated, and left the flat clean and tidy for our return. Would recommend definitely recommend Henry for your sits!

Natalia

Natalia was excellent! I wasn't the best at communicating leading up to the sit as I was planning my wedding and she took it all in her stride and was very relaxed/confident despite not meeting beforehand. We had regular pictures of the animals enjoying lovely walks down Gower - they definitely enjoyed. Thanks Natalia! :)

Nikki

Brilliant sitters with a gorgeous friendly dog. Highly recommended.

Jon

Jon and Liza were everything any pet owner could possibly want and more! They approached the sit very professionally and put us at complete ease that our 2 dogs and house were going to receive the very best of care and attention, which they both did. We can 1000% recommend them and can only hope that all our future sitters are as wonderful as they were! If they would ever like to visit Kent again we would love to have them back anytime.

Kirsty & Clyde

Kirsty was our first sitter thru zeewoi. We were a bit nervous of using the service but Kirsty was a great sitter for our two young cats. After a quick tour around the house, we left Kirsty and her dog Dylan before we went away for 3 nights. Kirsty offered to send us photos of the kittens while we were away (which we actually decided against in case we missed them too much!). On our return to the house, it was in excellent condition, very clean and tidy as if there had been no-one there while we were away. Kirsty kept in touch with us on her day of leaving and then sent us a bunch of photos once we'd returned to see how well our cats and Dylan had got along. As our first experience of a house-sitter, Kirsty was great and we'd have no hesitation in recommending her to other sitters, and would definitely use her again!

Cassie

Cassie and Harry were the loveliest couple. They came to my house the night before the sit so I had the pleasure of meeting them in person. They are clearly animal lovers and I had every confidence entrusting my beloved elderly cats to their care. Their commitment and communication were impeccable and they were incredibly understanding and kind when I had to cut the sit short due to illness. I can only hope I’ll be lucky enough for them to return back another time. I recommend them with 6 stars!!

Diane

Diane and Dave, and Rafa, visited us a couple of months ago. This was great as we were all confident that Rafa and our dogs would get on during the sit. I didn’t have to worry at all as they were amazing house/dog sitters. Everything ran smoothly and the whippets immediately took to them and Diane and Dave were great with them. They sent us some lovely photos including a video of Rafa and Feather playing. The house was spotless and bedding laundered. As the weather wasn’t very good this wasn’t that easy with three dogs. We really hope that they will come again. Hopefully with better weather. Feather, in particular, is missing Rafa!

Chatarina

I had a wonderful, long, 2 and a half months at Drew and Chatarina's home. I feel lucky to have been able to enjoy the beautiful views and the extensive gardens of their comfortable and spacious bungalow, as the seasons changed. I collected apples and berries, picked flowers and maintained the lawns. It was especially great to have the chance to make a real bond with Tilly in the time I took care of her. She is an entertaining, loveable, protective, pebble obsessing, water loving dog in a cute and tidy package. Although, she is fond of a snooze on her beanbag, she has all the energy for beach walks and stones are her thing, particularly if you throw them.  She will then dig a hole for that stone so it sits in a little nest....a beach vandal of the best kind.
She travelled well in my van too. I took her almost everywhere with me, as she acted as a companion on adventures out for the day...some great little memories to hold onto. Thanks for an overall Brilliant stay!

Laura

Savannah is a beautiful city with lots to do and the location is perfect to do that. Mahi-Mahi is a cute little sweetheart of a lap kitty! Communication was great with Laura and this gig is highly recommended.

Chris & Katherine

Chris & Katherine were amazing, kind and generous hosts. I had the pleasure of sitting their 2 bigger dogs who were very well behaved and super cuddly. Location was close to many things. Communication was excellent even when something needed immediate repairs. I would highly recommend this sit and miss the dogs already!!)

Sheila

My experience house and pet sitting for Sheila was wonderful. Just steps away from Lincoln Park on the West Seattle shoreline, the house is superbly located with wonderful views of the sound and easy access to the beach. Her fur babies are so kind, fun-loving, and affectionate. Rufus warmed up quickly and Lakota always put a smile on my face with her playful demeanor. Sheila is very friendly and communicative, and promptly answered any questions I had while on her travels. Would recommend to anyone!

Carolyn

This was such a great place to read and spend some alone-time.  Pocket is very shy and is definitely a one-woman cat, though she sure loves treats!  I wish I could have had another few days with her....she was staying in the room with me more and more and I even caught her grooming herself just a few feet away from me on the last day. Carolyn is great, very uncomplicated and organized.  Great sit!  I’d come back any time.

Nicola

Sitting for Nicola, Ian and their two kitties was wonderful! 

The communication with them was great, the home was very comfortable with an awesome kitchen for cooking and in a great location.

Samual and Jessica are very sweet cats who are independent yet friendly. 

It was easy enough to get around without a car with grocery stores in walking distance as well as bus and train stops nearby.

I very much enjoyed my time there and recommend it!
