Ready to travel. Work from home or holidays.
All I can say is WOW! Helen was totally amazing from start to finish and I would certainly call her a cat whisperer. Our cat Coco can be extremely timid and Helen was aware of this but I think Coco had other plans once she met Helen as was happy to be around her and let her brush her and even nudged Helen with a hello. This allowed us to be on holiday with confidence. Helen and I had already discussed communication while we were away, as I did not feel I needed photos etc as trusted what Helen said. We did actually message a few times during the 14 days and Coco was always doing well. We came home to an immaculate home! I was expecting to have to clean etc on return but did not need to ( and that’s most unlike me!). Our home was so well looked after and Coco was a happy girl too, in fact I think she may have preferred Helen to have walked through the door. We will most definitely be asking Helen to come back and just have everything crossed, that when we have dates set, she can come to us again. I know Coco would be thrilled to see her again. This was our first time using the site and we are so happy we found Helen, she is cat lovers dream.

Non-smoking farmhands with years of professional animal care experience!
We were delighted with Charlotte and Ramon. It was our first time using house sitters and they were extremely helpful and friendly in showing us the ropes with how it all works. They took superb care of our dog, cat and house, and they kept in touch with us to just the right level. Our usually nervous dog was very happy with them. We came home to a beautifully clean and organised home - possibly even cleaner than it was when we left for our holidays! 😆 Ramon made a beautiful apple cobbler for us to come home to, and it was delicious 😋 (and he remembered the need for gluten free !) We could not speak highly enough about Charlotte and Ramon and recommend them entirely. It was a wonderful first experience of zeewoi for us and I hope all experiences in the future are as positive! ☺️

An experienced dog owner and cat sitter who enjoys the outdoors.
Alice was amazing and we're so grateful to her for taking such great care of our cat Floyd and our flat while we were away for three weeks. She sent us regular photos and updates about Floyd - it was so comforting to know she was in such great hands. Our flat was in immaculate condition when we got home. I can't recommend Alice enough!

Andy and Cathy were brilliant dog/house sitters. They gave me updates on Joe which were welcome but basically just made me feel completely comfortable that both the dog and the house would be well cared for. Everything was ship shape when we came back and the lawn has even been mowed which, given the amount of rain that had fallen, was very much appreciated. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Experienced sitter, gardener, animal & nature lover. Caring for your home & pets
Lana is a fantastic house sitter, our dog Eddie absolutely loved her. I had total faith in her ability to look after our varied menagerie and she was also super helpful with the garden. I would have her back in a heart beat!

Energetic animal lover and walking enthusiast with a love for the countryside.
Rachel was lovely and our menagerie gave her a Gold Star! Murdo the kitten said he'd had the best time with her and she gave him more than enough cuddles. The dogs had good walks and lots of fun and all would happily have her to stay again. The house was left clean and tidy and Rachel even did some rose pruning for us! So we all hope that she and maybe Dan and their wee spaniel will come again next year.

Outdoor enthusiast and pet lover.
Bridget was great. She took on an awful lot sitting for us, including an additional dog who is currently a house guest. But none of it fazed her, she is very relaxed & capable. Bridget just got on with it and coped with all the wrinkles associated with living in a cabin with no internet, many animals and apparantly constant rain. Highly recommended as a sitter.

We were delighted to have Natalie house/ pet sit our furry family. Natalie arrived the night before we went away as requested, we were able to show Natalie the pets routines and show her around our home and garden. We automatically knew we had made the perfect choice. Our dogs and cats fell in love with her, she is a warm, caring, kind person and our little Pearl took to her very quickly, they became best friends. Our home was just the way we left it, very clean and comfortable to come back to. Our garden was in full bloom with the help of Natalie watering all our plants. Our neighbours also got to know Natalie and enjoyed their chats. We would highly recommend Natalie for any future house/ pet sits. We hope to meet again. Sincerely Valerie & Derek

LOOKING TO TRAVEL & LOOK AFTER YOUR PETS.
Sonia and her daughter sat for our dog Harry while we were away for a few days. Sonia was very easy to deal with in the run up to the sit, and arrived the evening before we were due to leave so she was there in good time. Once we were away she kept in touch with photos of Harry and asking questions regarding Harry and his routine, and generally about the house. All worked perfectly. We arrived back late in the evening of their last day and Sonia stayed until the late afternoon to ensure Harry was not left alone too long. I'd definitely recommend her!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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 for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
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 Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
My dog seems to love it here, she gets excited whenever she knows we are heading that way. Karen and all the staff are lovely and both the dogs always come back very well looked after.
My kitten came to stay for the first time yesterday and I'm so so impressed with not only the accommodation she stayed in, but the friendliness of the staff. You can so tell that they truly love all the animals they have stay. I really appreciated the lovely update text, it was a nidr touch. Dottie will be back very soon. Thanks again.x
Karen and her team are lovely and caring. My three dogs love staying at Aird Kennels, they don’t even so much as glance back as they walk off and we leave! Any dog staying at Aird Kennels will be well looked after and loved.
Probably the best place you'll ever board your dog or cat , the care is second to none🐶🐺 …
Have taken my dogs here for years and is the best. My dogs are so clean and chilled after being here makes leaving them a wee bit easier.
We had a family emergency and Karen pulled out all the stops to accommodate our cat. What a super place, lovely staff and Karen is obviously an animal lover. We are so grateful for Karen's help and if anyone is looking for a cattery/kennel, this is the place to go!
I went over on the ferry and was meet by the owner a very friendly Karen who took my dogs off me and looked after them really well. So if you are looking for a special place to put your dog or cat don't go past Aird Boarding kennel and Cattery.
We love taking the dogs here and the dogs love Karen and her staff . They always come back happy and clean . Their tails are wagging in anticipation of their next holiday !
We have boarded our cat here four times now and it's an excellent place. It's good to go away knowing that your pet is being well looked after . Thanks guys.
Fantastic place karen and the girls are great with dogs .
My two boys, Cham and Dyson, went to stay with Viv, Steve & Archie at the end of January 2022. We had a little meet up beforehand to make sure they’d have the best time when they came to stay and it went really well. I had a few organisational issues my end, so I had to keep slightly changing the plan on the run up to their stay. However Viv was very kind and worked with me with all the plan changes. It was comforting to know the boys would be in a lovely friendly home despite whilst we were away. We got lots of lovely photos of the boys throughout and updates on how they were doing. They had an absolutely great time and I will definitely be booking again. I’d also recommend Viv & Steve’s boarding services to anyone who wants to hear! Thanks so much guys, hopefully see you again very soon.
I can not recommended Viv and Steve highly enough!! I genuinely do not know what we would have done without them in our lives! This is Dougal's home from home and he absolutely adores the both of them! As do I!! You will not find a better home boarding home that is for sure! 5 star treatment. Supreme quality, love and treats for any lucky pooch!
Wonderful and super friendly. They spoiled our cheeky dog absolutely rotten on both visits whilst we were on holiday in Portree, which meant we got to experience some of the fabulous restaurants on the island. She even wanted to go back inside when we came to collect her from her overnight stay and walkies!
We booked our dog in for doggy day care while on holiday on Skye. Communication was efficient and clear. The service was very friendly and our dog had a great time. We would definitely recommend Walkies!
Thank you so much for 5 stars! We love your precious wee R & V, of course they are welcome here always. See you very soon xxx
