Trust us with your pets, they’ll be safe, happy and looked after like our own.
We are so lucky to of had Harry and Susan come and sit for us. It is such a relief being able to go away and not worry. We received pictures while we were away and the dogs were having a fab time and receiving lots of attention. It was lovely coming home, walking through the door and giving a big sigh of relief at how clean our home was left. They respected both us and the dogs and we couldn’t fault anything from the sit. We would certainly welcome them back again!

Friendly, responsible and reliable
Gemma returned to care for our dogs - this is the 3rd time she’s been here and this time she came with her own lovely dog and her family. We already knew we were leaving our house and dogs in safe hands due to previous sits, and it worked just as well with another dog and her family. The dogs were instantly at ease with everyone, including Gemma’s dog and were clearly well looked after. The house was left spotless, including stripped beds, washed sheets and even a cleaner fridge than we’d left. Gemma is not only an absolute gem of a housesitter but has also become a friend who we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to other hosts.

Animal lovers looking for furry friends to look after while travelling
Courtney and Chris were fabulous with our pets, and there were a few!! 2 dogs, 3 cats and 4 ducks. They coped so well, took the dogs lovely walks and lots of cuddles, and play time. Attended to my spoilt ducks and cats!! They looked after the house, left it clean and tidy and even baked us a banana loaf for our return, how welcoming was that😇Anyone lucky enough to have these guys watch their precious pets will know they can relax and enjoy a break away. Thank you Courtney and Chris🙋♀️❤️

Experienced & Reliable with High Standards.
Valerie and Brian are a lovely couple who came to look after our home and pets in a cold wet January. They were calm and friendly and the animals got on very well with them as soon as they met them. The house was left in a very clean and tidy state and Brian even fixed a dripping tap ! The plants had been watered and everyone seemed happy. Our oldest dog had a funny turn and Brian took her to the vets , contacted us and kept us fully informed about her recovery. We would be very happy for them to come again. Excellent house sitters.

Allan came to sit our 6 month puppy Vera. In the run up to the sit and during it we had great, frequent communication. Allan and Vera bonded well and it was great to spend some time with Allan before we left. Highly recommend!

Jayne - Self employed Software Engineer and introvert
This is our 2nd time having a petsitter and we chose Jayne again after a successful first sit. She’s very reliable and really bonds with our cats. They clearly remembered her and felt completely at ease. Jayne was also very communicative about issues arising with our house.

Experienced and mature, student and environmental engineer, animal loving couple
We would highly recommend Jacob. We initially met via a whatsapp call, and he agreed to arrive the day before we departed on holiday, which was very helpful & enabled us to introduce him to Faidi our labrador pup & her routine, our hens, guinea fowl & flock of sheep. Whilst we were away, he kept in contact with us regularly & with a few pics, which was reassuring. All was very tidy on our return, and animals happy. We would be very happy to welcome him here again.

Another perfect sit from Gail. Our little girl adores her, she’s happy and content with Gail. Our house was tidy and clean for our return. We Highly recommend Gail.
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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 !
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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 dogs were staying in kennels for their 1st time. Family made them feel welcomed and was very accommodating. They truly care about your dogs. We had no issues with anything, kennels are cozy & clean. Some kennels are very business alike, this is one is run by a nice friendly family. Many thanks again, we already have booked their next stay.
My big girl has been here a number of times, always clean kennels, really lovely family run business, and great value for money. Patsy is a big strong dog and can be reactive sometimes, I always feel relaxed when I know she stays here as they are superb with her.
An family run kennel who take good care of the dogs in their charge. Dogs have large indoor kennels with direct access to a large outside run. My dogs are always happy to be kenneled there!
Absolutely fabulous kennels!!!! We have used these kennels for our three dogs since we moved here 12+ years ago and have never been anything other than delighted. Heated kennels, individual outside space and walked every day. If your dog/s need medication you can rest in peace knowing that such medication will be administered as necessary. You can most certainly rely on Kevin and family to look after your hound as you would yourself.
Excellent kennels no matter when you drop off or collect your furry friend they are always happy for you to go in with them and the kennels are always very clean. Nice people who genuinely care for and look after you dog while you go for a break.
These guys are absolutely superb. this is a location where my daddies girl (Doberman) does not mind going to 'Dog Club'. I highly recommend a visit for your beastie.
2nd time our dog has stayed here and he always comes home in same condition he entered these fine kennels. Great people running these clean well run excellent kennels
Lovely kennels. Absolutely spotless. Our two Scottish Deerhounds were extremely well looked after by the very caring owners. Would recommend to anyone.
Absolutely fantastic kennels, our two love it there. They are so well looked after by very professional Fran and Kevin
Booked this kennel for our dog. Very first experience for him and us. Professional approach from Fran and Kevin, good care taken and we will be back.
Clean, new, secure & modern kennels - best in region. Sarah could not have been more helpful, before, during & after - wonderful customer care + service and took highest care of Millie Moo who returned home very happy. I loved the photos sent during her stay too. I have no hesitation in recommending Moss-Croft + will happily use again.
Beautiful kennels. Dogs that stay here are treated amazingly well - walks several times a day (4, I think), heated enclosures in every kennel for the cold months. Just fabulous for dog owners to know how well their dogs will be looked after.
Sarah and her amazing team at Moss Croft have literally changed my life - I contacted Sarah in desperation as illness at home meant that I needed to be able to board my dogs (5!) when travelling, with two being reactive. Working closely with Sarah we have held several meet and greets over the Xmas/NY period and then progressed to a day board today. I picked up the dogs tonight and they didn’t even want to leave! Currently all sleeping soundly and I am beyond thrilled. Thank you to an awesome team
We were very impressed with the facilities, environment and care given to our nervous dog on his first stay at Moss Croft. Would recommend this team, 10 out of 10.
Highly recommend! Beautiful purpose built kennels which are spotless, comfortable and secure. Sarah and her team are extremely knowledgable and helpful and went out of their way to get to know my dogs and ensure that they were settled and happy. Collected my 2 spaniels (rescue dogs who can both be tricky) today after their first time in kennels and although delighted to see me they were clearly happy there! Will definitely use again 🐶🐶
Was highly recommended to go to miss Croft with our two 8 month old puppies. Arranged a visit with Sarah who is a very much a dog person dogs apperead happy so much so we arranged a day visit and an overnight visit to built them up for their five night stay . Well the dogs had appearead to have a great time. From the updates we got from there overnight stay. Staff are so friendly . Sarah and team keep up the great work for our pets . I think the boys will love their next visit then there five days .
The time and patience Sarah and the team have is second to none. They always have your dogs best interest at heart and as an owner, that gives me all the reassurance I need putting our pup into their care. We've been slowly introducing Finn to the kennels. He was due to stay overnight for his first visit where he unfortunately didn't settle due to a lot of change in his life in the weeks running up to his visit. Sarah was in constant contact with updates on Finn and together, we decided it was best for him to return home for a reset. We returned the next day with Finn happy to Sarah again and now we continue to build on the confidence that Finn is gaining in the kennels :-) X
Our dog Leo,had a stay at Mosscroft he was very well looked after in an excellent facility, Sarah and Angela are very nice and go the extra mile to make sure your dog will be happy and very well looked after. Leo also had a groom while he was there and came home looking and smelling lovely I would highly recommend this facility and would not hesitate to use again .
I cannot say enough good things about Moss Croft Country Kennels Sarah, Rachel and team do a fantastic job and wouldn't have our 'wee pooch' go anywhere else. The kennels are exceptional with underfloor heating to keep our little man cosy in these colder days. Amazing exercise area (the size of a football pitch) and walks around the grounds. It is quite obvious how much Sarah & Rachel love the job they do. If you want a warm, friendly loving place to leave your beloved pooches I highly recommend you pay a visit and take a look for yourself. Well done Moss Croft Country Kennels for providing such an impressive service. 😊 🐕🐩🐾
Delighted to review this purpose built luxury kennels. Sarah and her staff offer a wonderful service, our Labrador had a fantastic time there when we were on holiday recently. We even got updates on how he was getting on ...we found this very reassuring that all was well. I have no hesitation in awarding 5 stars to Moss Croft Country Kennels, we feel very lucky to have such a facility nearby..... Thank you.
Great place. No issues and Jimmy loves getting pampered... They pick him up and drop him off aswell which is great as don't drive. He goes every month now for a grooming.
Very friendly and can tell that they love the dogs they care for.
Bear dog never looked better. And she likes going!
Experienced and friendly dog training, highly recommended
Fantastic owners who really care about your pet.
Had not boarded my cat and ferrets here for a few years and was surprised to see how run down the place looked this time round. During the handover, the lady did not know what to house my 2 ferrets in or what to feed them and I was unhappy that they did not have accommodation ready for receiving them. I offered to take them through and get them set up after she also said she wasn’t used to ferrets but she declined. I did not feel confident leaving them but was dropping them off on route to my holiday and so felt committed to doing so. On return, I was advised my female ferret had passed away but was assured that there had been no problems during the stay but on returning home, my male ferret was so thin and emaciated that he was falling over and unable to stand up. I took him to the vet and they advised that he had either not been fed or had been fed the wrong thing. Very distressing experience and I would not recommend this place and will not return.
I don't even know where to start... When we dropped our cat off there was no one there to receive us, we were waiting for around 20 mins. The receptionist was cold and uninterested. A week later when we came to collect, again we were left waiting half an hour for an employee to arrive and a further 15 mins waiting for said employee to retrieve our cat (it seems like the cats are left unattended when there's no customers). We were then told to come through to the enclosure, as our cat was refusing to come out. We were shocked to see the poor conditions our cat was being held in. It was a cold concrete floor with no bed or food visible, only a dirty litter tray. There was a cat flap into the 'kennel' where any other cat could enter. Our cat had a new scar on his left cheek and broken skin on one of his paws. Our vet was certain that this was injury caused by another cat. This is not a pet resort but a pet prison! Our cat was crying out, hissing and hiding behind the door. When we got him home he was shaky, parched and starving. He didn't smell good, his coat was rough and he was lighter to pick up. We could never recommend this place and we will never return.
I've been boarding my parrot at pet resort for years I highly recommend them just picked up my parrot shes happy as every. very nice staff excellent service.Thanks again for looking after my parrot.
Very upset at how we have just been dealt with. I picked up my diabetic cat from here a day early, once I got my cat home I found out that she was soaked in cat urine. She has also lost over half a kilo in weight and may need to be admitted to the vets later today. The stories we have heard from the owner have changed repeatedly. On initial contact with the manager he said he knew she was covered in urine and was waiting for the heavy rain to stop to use grooming spray on her. Just now he claims she was wet from water she had knocked over. He left my elderly cat covered in her own urine for hours. Not only has the manager been extremely unhelpful one of the front of house staff was rude to my wife. On dropping my cat off, we were told that we needed to pay extra to have her insulin administered, the retort from the girl was “well you are paying for a 5star service”. Rude and indignant. We asked for a refund for the neglected state our cat returned in to be told that wasn’t an option. Overall I have found the whole service to be disgraceful and I would never ever recommend this place again.
We left our cats at the Aberdeen Pet Resort, Peterculter, for a week in April. When we got them home, less than a 5 minute drive, their travel carriers and blankets were covered in fur and urine. Our cats were absolutely stinking of urine too! I contacted the place immediately as I felt that they had been living in their travel carriers and using it as a litter tray too! Only to be told that they were not kept in their travel carriers and they had no idea why our cats smelt so bad! It must been the journey home, all 5 minutes of it!! DO NOT PUT YOUR BELOVED PETS HERE! This place should be closed immediately!!! Definitely not a genuine one star! I would give them nothing but closure!
I am happy to take my cat here. He has an indoor area with a shelf and a small outdoor area. It is very clean. I especially like that there are no dogs here as that stresses the cats out. Nice reception with welcoming residential cats and parrot. He always seems content when I collect him.
Reading these reviews is really upsetting. I put my cat in here a few years ago, and paid extra as it was over Xmas. When I got him back he was stinking I had to bathe him. I wonder now if he was kept in his box. I feel awful that he went through that experience. Lairshill is my go to now. They are very good.
I have used this cattery three times never any problems. The staff are really attentive they let me see the room she would be staying in. We discussed feeding options and what she liked and didnt like. We paid extra for some play time on a daily basis. Your pet will be weighed when you drop them off and again on collection which i really liked. Its a little difficult to find so put on your sat nav. Plenty parking right outside the main reception
The staff has always been friendly and helpful to me, the place appears clean and I see nothing of concern (reading the 1 star reviews). When I picked my cat up last time, my cat was hissing at me, but that's a reflection on him (he was rescued by the sspca and doesn't deal with new people or small spaces) and not the facility.
Second time our cats have stayed here as an emergency and both times they have become ill straight after. We will DEFINITELY not be leaving our cats here again...even if it is an emergency. The place stinks of cat pee as soon as you walk in,it is almost unbearable. We had emailed, agreed and paid an extra fee to drop our cats off late. Upon drop off at the agreed later time the owner decided to complain about how inconvenient late drop off times were for them and had a go at us about it..... yet it had all been agreed in writing and an extra fee paid for!!! Our advice is avoid this place. Nasty smells and awful management
Jan always provides a great service. My cats are always very happy when I return from a trip and I can relax when I'm away from home knowing that they are being well looked after.
