Cat Sitters in Woodham

Yet another five star sit from Gill and Rob. As always wonderful communication before and during the sit and knowing that Olive and Elsa would be totally looked after and cared for made for a very relaxing time. As before the house was totally spotless when we got back and we really hope they'll be available when we next go away. Couldn't recommend Gill and Rob more highly!

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND; Unfortunately, our experience of Natasha and her partner is sadly not that others appear to have had. We needed a sitter for two nights to care for our two dogs, two elderly cats and house while we had a couple of nights away for our youngest son’s wedding. Our usual house sitters weren’t available, and we had arranged for another sitter from zeewoi but just a few weeks from the wedding she had to pull out due to ill health. I republished the dates and Natasha applied. We arranged a video call as I always want to do this prior to agreeing for a sitter so I can meet them beforehand especially if they are not local and able to visit prior to the sit. It was only going to be Natasha and her son Colby and not her partner that were going to do the sit so the video call was only with her. Natasha and Colby arrived, and I ran through all the instructions for the house and pets and in particular that as we have several acres of land that the dogs were to be inside after dark. I left happy in the knowledge that Natasha and Colby were looking forward to a quiet evening watching a movie. Having enjoyed a family dinner and heading off to bed to get some sleep before the big day I notice several notifications on my phone from my external home security cameras. This was at 10.30pm and after dark and I notice that my little dog was out the front of the property and had been there since 10pm and no one was letting him even though he was barking. I then checked the other camera notifications, and I was shocked to not only see a man at my property, but he was exiting a rear patio door that was wide open with loud music coming from the room he had just left, and he was undressed. This room is my husband’s special room that holds a lot of his memorabilia from his early life which is important to us as a family as he now has dementia. I felt physically sick imagining what was going on in my property and especially this room. I contacted Natasha to ask what was going on and why were the dogs out when I had given specific instructions for them to be inside and who was the man at my property that I had not given permission to be there. She confirmed it was her partner and that he had inadvertently let the dogs out!!! I was furious but it was too late to do anything then, but I didn’t sleep all night worrying about my home and pets. In the morning, I managed to contact some friends who kindly rearranged their plans and took over. Natasha was asked to vacate the property as I needed to be happy that my home and pets were in good hands to be able to enjoy my son’s special day. This couple broke all the rules for being a Zeewoi, they were dishonest, and were disrespectful and I feel like they violated our property, they did not care for our pets as they had been asked and have tarnished the memory of our son’s wedding day. I would not recommend or trust them as sitters.

Jackie and Rob are a lovely couple who took great care of our dogs. They communicated well before and during their stay. The house was left clean and tidy. The dogs were taken on daily walks even in horrible weather. We highly recommend them!

Amy was a great sitter. She messaged and communicated well and told me she enjoyed looking after our dog Noah. Thank you for sitting for us ⭐️

Such a relief to have a responsible, organized and experienced cat caregiver! So grateful to come home to a happy healthy kitty, a clean home and even a yummy meal. Louise ensured my high needs kitty had her meds, clean litter and provided lots of live and snuggles. My home was well cared for. Would have Louise care for my home and pets anytime without hesitation!

Georgina and Jamie did a quick sit for us at short notice. Nothing was too much trouble and communication prior to the sit was excellent. They’re both lovely people and our house and animals were left in good hands. The house was as we left it when we returned. Very happy to recommend Georgina and Jamie as fabulous house sitters.

Steph and her partner Jonny sat with our two elderly rescue cats for seven weeks and were absolute superstars. Steph was communicative beforehand, agreeing to a zoom call so we could explain responsibilities and nuances about the cats. We also really appreciated her flexibility on dates as we finalised our plans. Because of the length of the stay, there were a lot of additional tasks (e.g. cleaning water fountains, fully cleaning litter trays) which she took in her stride. There was also an unexpected task of replacing the cat flap when a neighbour cat broke in, which Steph and Jonny handled self sufficiently and with admirable calm. We are so grateful to them for their support and hope to have them back in future!!

When Magda's application first came in I was unsure about having a whole family staying in our house while we were away, but my mind was instantly put at ease by reading her reviews and a quick video chat. Oscar was very well looked after and we came home to a spotless house. Good communication in the run up to the sit and we had some lovely updates while we were away. Magda and co were flexible about timings and a pleasure to have sit for us; they'd be welcome back any time. They were even very understanding about a last minute plumbing issue that had happened the night before they arrived so we hadn't had time to fix it.

Erika, Adam and their daughter house/pet sat for us for 7 nights. I held a video handover call with Erika ahead of time as our paths would not be crossing. Erika took in all necessary information and the sit went well with happy animals on our return! Thank you Erika and Family!

Jenny was a brilliant house sitter, we are so grateful. I listed with very short notice but Jenny was completely flexible - we weren't quite sure when we would be getting back but she couldn't have been more accommodating. She kept us up to date with how all the animals were doing and left the house cleaner than when we left it.

Hi highly recommend Sam. She was incredibly diligent in knowing what both our cat and we needed. She was highly responsive to communication both before and during the sit. The house was left immaculate and, most importantly, our cat was calm and relaxed when we returned. I will definitely ask Sam to sit for us again

So lovely to have Craig and Shelley, Daisy and Teddy looking after everything while I was away. They took over effortlessly from some friends who were staying and were brilliant with all the comings and goings that went on. The "elephants" were very well looked after. Anyone who has them to look after their pets would be very lucky!
