Reliable, trustworthy, non-smoking, recently retired, young(ish!) couple.
Third sit for us from Craig and Lesley. Like the previous two, the sit was straightforward from organising the sit, to arrival and right through the sit until we came home. We were kept updated throughout and when one of our cats unusually stayed out all night, they kept looking for her until she showed up again which really put our minds at rest. Craig and Lesley are very reliable, calm and a safe pair of hands. We’re so lucky to have them sit for us and highly recommend them! Thanks Craig and Lesley hope you can come back for a fourth sit 😊

A traveller ready to support other travellers and pat their pets
Alex came back to sit for Perky and Remy over the summer and once again the pets had a great time, including adventure days out! As ever, Alex was very communicative, accommodating and took care of our place as if it were her own. Would highly recommend Alex as a Zeewoi.

Vet Nurse; caring, reliable and super tidy
This is Karen’s third visit. Robin loves her and she looks after her beautifully. I never worry about her care whilst I’m away. Karen is so considerate, the perfect guest and goes above and beyond to be accommodating. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Caring, reliable and trustworthy pet-sitters.
Julie was really well organised and easy to communicate with in the run up to the sit. She was also very kind about my having to change the dates of my holiday when my plans changed, and was super flexible about when she came and went, which was very much appreciated. I came back to find the house just as I left it, and a cat who didn’t seem to have missed me one bit!

Experienced housesitters, animal lovers and non-smokers with flexible schedules.
Genevieve and Rory are SUCH lovely people ! So down to earth and I felt instantly at ease as you can feel they love animals ! And that is very true, they sent daily pics of my boys that were very chilled and definitely on vacay mode ! 😻 Ray Wilson and I would have them back in a heartbeat 💓

A couple of easy-going creatives. (Non smokers, double vaccinated and has a car)
Lucy and Jaz were the best sitters! We were away for nearly 3 weeks and returned home to a pair of happy and relaxed pets. The apartment was immaculate, clean and tidy and the laundry was on! They are a lovely couple and true animal lovers - our neighbours remarked on how well they were taking care of Hoshi. I recommend them very highly.

Pets aren’t our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
Linda & Tony were fabulous dogsitters and Tilly was very sad to see them go. They looked after the house and car immaculately and even cooked us a meal for when we returned. Not only were they excellent sitters but Tilly was clearly very happy to be with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to look after their pet.

Hi, I'm Janna. I'm a full time traveler, who's responsible and loves animals :)
Great experience with Janna, good communication throughout the booking and stay, Magda was very clearly loving the care and attention. We came home to a very clean flat and a very happy cat, would highly recommend.
Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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.
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.
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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 !
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!
Couldn’t be happier with We Love Animals. Spent two weeks away from flat and our cat and they were perfect. Not only did they care for our cat’s food and litter but they made sure she was happy and played with. It really was apparent that she loved spending time with Mew. The fact that we knew someone was caring for our home while we were away was also a bonus. Angela dropped us an email everyday with pictures just to keep us up to date and keep our minds at ease. Before we left we had an issue with accessibility to the main building, and she was great when dealing with that slight curve ball. We Love Animals were open, communicative and professional before and throughout our holiday, allowing us to actually enjoy our time away.
Would give 10 stars if I could. Angela is the most reliable cat sitter, doing all you would expect and more. Our cat adored her, and Angela is also on hand in case of cat-related emergencies. Would 100% recommend her to anyone. Daily photo updates, and has been just super professional. Thank you Angela!!
We regularly book Angela's services to look after our 2 cats and we could not recommend her enough. She is a flexible, reliable and dedicated cat sitter. We know our cats are in truly good hands which has made it easier and less worrying to go away. Having news everyday (and sometimes photos) is fantastic and has even allowed us to enjoy more holiday. Thank you very much We Love Animals!
Angela has looked after my kitty for two years and has been absolutely incredible with her. Arya has behavioural issues and needs daily meds; Angela was amazing with persevering giving these to her despite the occasional cat attack! Angela's service is amazing value for the amount of care you get - I'm nervous about leaving my pet so I get daily texts with photos. Plus free plant watering etc, and when there's been a flurry of fur Angela has even vacuumed so there's not a mess to come home to. I'm sorry to have moved away from Edinburgh as I'm sure I won't find another cat sitter as caring and thoughtful (and who my notoriously suspicious cat will trust!) as Angela. 10/10 recommend!
An amazing service. I was very nervous leaving my cat while I went away but after I met Angela in the pre house visit I was put at ease. It is clear how much she loves animals and my usually timid cat went to her straight away...even climbed on her back. My cat was taking medication which was no problem for Angela and they sent me daily updates including pictures. I would not trust any other company to look after my girl! A***
To be able to leave my cats at home instead of taking them to a pet hotel is really great!! I’ve been really lucky to find We Love Animals. My cats love Anne and when she visits them sends me updates so I can be relaxed that they’re well looked after. I feel I can totally trust her and Angela and the system is very convenient.
Searched for years for a cat sitter we felt we could trust and came across We Love Animals last year and they have been sitting our cats ever since. From the first meeting they have been extremely professional and quickly earned the trust of both our cats - not the easiest of things as they have studiously ignored everyone else who has looked after them for us! Appreciate the daily emails and photos and all the other little touches they provide. We have no hesitation in recommending them for pet sitting duties.
Candyfloss Cats have been brilliant both times we used them. Their online booking and profile information work really well. It's lovely to see photos and have daily updates about how your pets are doing while you are away. I have to give them special thanks for stepping in at the last minute this Christmas too when our plans changed.
Anne and Angela provide a wonderful service. Dependable, professional and great value for what they do. It's good to know my cats are looked after so well while I'm away – I love the photos and updates too. I can't recommend them enough –Thank you both!!
I can't even begin to describe how wonderful Anne and Angela have been! I desperately needed a pup sitter multiple times while staying in Edinburgh but usually do not trust anyone to look after my precious pup cargo. Thankfully, I was lucky enough to stumble upon these ladies. I and my pup, Penny, absolutely loved them on first meeting with them. I have anxiety; my dog has anxiety...and there was nothing but a complete feeling of relaxation and assurance with Angela and Anne, trusting that they would take excellent care of my fur baby. Penny was always happy and excited to see them! And they went above and beyond, arriving early, staying late when I was running late, taking Penny all over Edinburgh for walks and exploration, snuggling with her, feeding her, and sending a smorgasbord of photos of Penny's adventures to me. I would use their dog-sitting services again in a heartbeat! If you have any apprehensions about leaving your fur babies with a stranger, dispel them now. Anne and Angela will quickly become your and your fur babies' friends. Anne and Angela are the sweetest, kindest, funniest women around, brimming with Scottish charm and energy, and I literally can't thank them enough for helping me out and loving my wee lil Penny like I love her. They are true animal lovers. :) And I only wish I could have spent more time with them. Thank you, thank you!
Always board my cats with Heather - she always looks after them like they were her own. Would definitely recommend Tinto Kennels if your looking to board your cats.
I’ve been coming here for over 20 years after my mum brought her beloved dog here and she was always so excited to see Heather! Jump forward to now, three more dogs and two cats that love her… it’s more than a boarding kennels/cattery, it’s a holiday for the animals. Not sure why I’m reviewing Tinto really as her amazing reputation precedes her and Heather’s reputation is impeccable! Gutted not to be able to get the dogs in this summer, but we’ll always come here first!
Ideal home away from home for your dog or cat. Run by an animal lover who also takes in rescue animals. A place that is truly focussed on animal wellbeing and not on money. Hard to get hold of on the phone but that's because she's tending to the animals in her care so please don't give up and email or text instead. I'm very glad we found this place when our regular kennel was booked up. Our dog seemed much happier when we collected her and it certainly gave us invaluable piece on mind on our holiday. Highly recommended.
My dogs love going to Tinto Kennels. They pull me in through the gate every time. Heather gives individual attention to all the dogs and cats.
Great kennel, Heather is a genuine animal lover & our wee dog loves her. Heartily recommend Tinto. 🙂 …
Fantastic service and Heather is wonderful. Our cats always come home super relaxed and happy for their 'holiday'!
Korky loves here. He is happy and well cared for by Heather
We were worried about boarding our border terrier as she isn't too good with other dogs but we were so glad we chose tinto kennels as Heather is fab with animals.
Love tinto kennels been boarding our dogs for 10+ years would not go anywhere else
Brodie the beagle cant get to spend time with Aunty Heather and Sandra quick enough he loves it there
Biggar Hounds have been walking and boarding our dog for a couple of years now and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Both Kirsten and Ross obviously love dogs and take great care of them. They are lovely people but also very professional and they always do what is best for the dogs eg make sure that dogs walked together are ones who get on well with each other, change the length or times of walks on very hot days etc. Our dog absolutely loves them and is always happy to go on his walks and board with them. We have peace of mind when he is with them, knowing that he will be happy and well looked after. Thank you both for everything you do for Toby.
Lily our Saluki has been a member of Biggar Hounds for just over a year. Saluki's, like all dogs, need socialisation with different breeds and Biggar Hounds has allowed Lily to grow in confidence whilst having loads of excercise and fun. She absolutely LOVES her time out with Kirsten and Ross and all her doggy pals. They are a big part of her life and make ours easier knowing Lily is being cared for and happy. A bonus of having your dog on regular weekly walks with Biggar Hounds is the availability of dog boarding in their lovely home. Again, Lily has so much fun which is important when we away from her. We would recommend Biggar Hounds to dog owners as their service to you and your dog will be exceptional.
Friendly, caring and structured approach to getting to know both dogs and owners. Our dog loves her long walks and runs towards Kirsten and Ross like they are part of her family. Would 100% recommend for both walks & boarding - we love seeing photos of our dog out with the pack enjoying herself & getting muddy. 😁🙏🦮 …
Biggar Hounds are completely reliable and professional and I feel totally relaxed knowing Malcolm is in safe hands. The photo updates are great and Malcolm always comes back relaxed, tired and happy. They are really flexible with dates and will accommodate last minute requests. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for dog walking or home boarding.
Kirsten and Ross provide a truly fabulous service. Lottie my gsp/lab cross loves her weekly mini adventures with the other Hounds and is settling into occasional overnight boarding at their house. The initial checking procedure was robust and useful to both parties to ensure Lottie would fit in and be happy. Both Lottie and I are excited and delighted on walkies days. Kirsten and Ross are our extended doggy family.
Highly recommend Biggar Hounds to take great care of your pups. Basil loves Ross, Kirsten and strawberry he looks forward to his day care with them and his new doggie pals. I know he’s safe and happy.
Pippa always has a great time out with Kirsten and Ross and all her doggy pals. She is always so excited to see them and they have helped get her more comfortable around other dogs over the past year. We get regular photos of her out enjoying herself all over the local area. Kristen and Ross are both great and it was clear from the beginning how much they know about, and care about, the dogs they walk and look after.
Can't sing their praises enough. Kirsten & Ross take time to get to know your dog before introducing them to the pack, and then they become one of the family. Buster can't wait for his adventures. We trust Biggar Hounds implicitly and he comes back happy and exhausted 👍 …
Ziggy is a Cypriot street dog rescue and comes with a bundle of issues including an often deep anxiety aggression response to new men ... To say it was love at first sight for him with both Kirsten AND Ross is an understatement. He loves his walks a d adventures with them and their level of professionalism in meeting his needs but ensuring all dogs are happy and tired out little sossiges is second to none - cannot recommend enough!!! Laura - Ziggy's servant when not on walks
We have been using Biggar hounds for our dog for several months. He has a weekly group walk and has boarded with them too. He absolutely loves Kirsten and Ross and is super excited when they come to collect him! I love that they regularly share photos of their walks and it’s clear that he is having a great time. He has really benefited from socialising with the other dogs. Kirsten and Ross are obviously very knowledgeable and incredibly devoted to the dogs in their care, taking time to understand their needs. I would highly recommend Biggar Hounds!
Can’t recommend Brian enough, my dog is a regular for daycare and boarding and I honestly wouldn’t want to leave her with anyone else. Brian sends regular pictures and videos via WhatsApp and I can see how much fun she’s having and how chilled out she is. I also see how happy she is to see Brian when I drop her off so I know that’s she’s happy and having a great time.
Can't recommend Brian enough, he offers a 1st class professional service. Our dog Gizmo was homeboarding for 2 weeks, he slept in Brian's daughter room. We were sent daily updates with photos & videos. We could see he was happy playing with the other dogs & going to run free field also out for walks & playing in back garden. Will definitely use Brian again he is so accommodating when our flight was changed he was happy for Gizmo to stay an extra night. It is so reassuring to know that you're fur baby is happy & being taken care of 5 stars all the way
I was really nervous leaving Cookie (June 2023), as she was 7 months old but Brian did a fantastic job with her as all the animals are treated as part of the family. We were sent via WhatsApp photos of how she was doing as this is so reassuring that our dog was happyand being taken care of.. I would 💯 percent use again. Thanks Brian for taking care of her
Karen is a fantastic pet sitter. Has looked after my pets on numerous occasions. A very personal service and a genuine love of animals. Pets always come back very happy. Thanks!
Karen is a fantastic sitter, my pets were extremely well looked after. Karen offers a very wonderful service in an animal haven. Highly recommend.
Karen offers a great service, very flexible to fit in with my doggy day care requirements
A home from home for my Yorkie Toby. He enjoyed his holiday with Karen.
