Mature, experienced and trustworthy...and crazy about dogs!!
Caroline and Rob are the best the house sitters you could wish for. They were very flexible with our arrival and departure times due to our flights and nothing was any trouble. We did not worry about Teddie for a second as we knew he was in great hands and was being spoiled rotten. Caroline and Rob sent daily video's and photos of their various walks, tea shops and walks to our local pub. It was such a joy to know that they were enjoying their stay and Teddie was as happy as larry! Caroline and Rob are fabulous and very caring and 5 stars are not enough! When we returned home the house was immaculate, and Teddie was beautifully groomed and very happy. We cannot thank Caroline and Rob aka Auntie C and Uncle B enough for their care, patience and the genuine affection to our Teddster. We are all looking forward to seeing you in March. Thank you so very much xx

Sue & Ian were fantastic carers for our beloved spaniels and home. They arrived when they said they would with great communication beforehand and Koki & Sunshine loved them. Our house was absolutely immaculate when we arrived back and the dogs were sad to see them leave. They made a real impression. Highly recommended and we would be delighted to welcome them back any time.

Quentin and Lorena have just sat at our home and took care of our cat, hens and birds. Upon first meeting with them I knew my home was in good hands. My cat was well looked after and loved having cuddles with them on an evening. Quentin and Lorena even did jobs around the garden which was not expected but greatly appreciated. Our home was immaculate when we returned and kindly put the bins out for us. They are the perfect house sitters and we wouldnt hesitate in having them sit for us again. Extremely thoughtful, active and caring couple. Thank you! x

It was excellent to welcome Annette and Joe to our house. Fantastic communication throughout their stay, we really appreciated you sharing videos on WhatsApp of Rafa and Skye having a brilliant time on beach walks. Our house was absolutely immaculate when we returned and our dogs had very obviously been taken care of exceptionally well, we think they were disappointed to see you go! Thanks so much to you both, best of luck on your travels & we will keep in touch.

Professional couple, just moved to Cumbria. Love pets!
Our second visit from Philippa & Stephen and we couldn’t be happier! They are a fabulous couple and we would have them back again and again. Cats completely happy and well. Tons of communication from Philippa with lots of pictures throughout the stay. House super clean and they had looked free the garden for us. Highly recommend them as house & pet sitters.

Carpe diem. Nothing ventured nothing gained is my philosophy.
Susan came with her sister as I had specified our cat was not very happy taking her daily medication and it takes two to make sure she has her whole dose. We met the evening before we left and I knew that I was leaving the cat and the house in very safe hands. On our return the house was immaculate and the cat very happy.

Marianne has kindly sat for us & iggy a number of times which says it all. She’s super flexible & easy going. Iggy has a better brushed coat when we come back than when we went away! Would definitely recommend Marianne.

Friendly & Reliable animal loving Scotsman...
Barry was super helpful coming to stay and look after our cat, he was not deterred by my terrible organisation and made our holiday preparations much less stressful. Barry is really great and friendly and definitely welcome any time!
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
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 !
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Kathy and Ron are the most accommodating sitters you will ever find. At my request they arrived a few days early and also made it clear they would be willing to extend their stay as needed. While at first they were a little uneasy about giving pills to our cat Sparky, they soon got the hang of it and did an excellent job caring for both cats even though the cats have very different schedules and needs. Kathy was great about keeping in touch with us and we knew they would be just fine for the several days when we were out of communication range. I would gladly invite Ron and Kathy back anytime and highly recommend them to you for your next getaway!
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!
Mae is very friendly and approachable as well as quick and responsive with queries. She helped me out of a bind at short notice and was a great communicator throughout organisation.
I booked Mae to look after my six cats . She came beforehand to meet me and the cats . Mae wanted details of all the cats and what they eat . I found her very professional and organised . I had no hesitation on booking Mae i can completely trust her . She took good care of my cats and sent me daily updates and videos . And she took time to play with my cats and they liked her as well . I will definitely book chip and chill the next time I go away . Mae is absolutely lovely .
I' ve been using Chip n Chill's services for a few weeks now on a daily basis, I cannot praise them highly enough. Mae comes and does exactly what shes supposed to do, and does it well. My boy Freddy loves her coming , and she is great with him. All is done at a very reasonable price, and I would not fail to recommend Chip n Chill to anyone. If I could give an extra star on the rating I would. Well done
Mae is utterly fantastic! She's super professional and organised - she did a free consultation visit with important paperwork, met my cat Pigeon, and gathered as many details as she could. During the actual sitting she sent regular updates, which is very reassuring to a worried cat mum! He's usually quite anxious with strangers but Mae knew exactly how to interact with him and when he'd had enough. I can't recommend Chip 'n' Chill enough! I'll definitely be going back to Mae for future sitting.
Our previous dog walker let us down and came across Chip n Chill. Mae is a lovely lady and is so so good with my 2 dogs, mini dachshund and English bull dog, they absolutely love her. I feel relaxed at work that my dogs (babies) are in good hands! I would really recommend chip n chill to anyone. Thank you Mae
I’m always assured that my pets are well looked after and healthy with Mae - my sweet kitties absolutely adore her and came back to me in perfect condition, calm and happy. I definitely recommend her services, she is dedicated and knows exactly what she’s doing with much experience around pets under her belt. Please support her!
Mae was amazing with my nervous cat Gizmo she microchipped her then gave me all the information I needed making a stressful situation so much easier coming to my home she is so lovely and professional and I would recommend her highly thankyou so much 💕💕 …
Fantastic service and managed to accommodate a very short notice booking. Will definitely be using again. Many thanks and very much appreciated
Mae is very professional. My dogs absolutely adore her. Very reliable. I highly recommend her.
Mae is great with animals, my cats simply love being with her and always come back to me looking healthy and happy, much recommend!
Melissa looked after our elderly, anxious cat while we were away for a few days and she was brilliant. She put my mind at ease by sending lots of updates with photos and videos, and Marni was surprisingly relaxed when we got home considering she hates being left on her own! Would definitely highly recommend.
Melissa was absolutely amazing! She really did go above and beyond. Loved the regular updates with pics and videos. She was so good with the cats and I know they loved her. Cleaning the food bowls, changing the litter, bringing in parcels were all extras we didn't expect. Would highly recommend to anyone
We have 4 house cats all with different needs and personalities, Melissa was excellent with all of them and really put our minds at ease with plenty of pictures and updates. She also looked after our cockatiel and fish. We have used Melissa twice now and have her booked twice again this year already. Highly recommend, much less stressful than a cattery and a great price. 🩷🐈⬛
I asked Melissa to look after my 2 cats as one of my cats is terrified when put in a cat box and put in the car. Melissa was great and made a fuss of them both, feeding them twice a day and sending us regular updates, they were very chilled out, she even had to clean up ‘presents’ (2 mice), but nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend Melissa if you want to come home to happy cats
I'm very happy with Melissa s cat sitting service and so is Harry as he doesn't have to go to the cattery anymore and can stay in the comfort of his own home now he is getting old. Melissa Is lovely, very reliable and sends me daily updates to assure me Harry is happy. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone wanting to have there cat looked after at home.
Fantastic service. Melissa looked after all of our cats whilst we were away very well. Messages and pictures of them daily with little updates. I definitely felt like they were in safe hands and will definitely be using "the crazy cat lady " again. I would 100% recommend her services to anyone wanting their fur babies cared for whilst they can't.
Melissa looked after our Charlie for 2 weeks while away on holiday as we weren’t comfortable putting him in a cattery. So pleased we chose the crazy cat lady as she kept us informed with updates and pictures throughout.. assured us he wasn’t stressed or anxious about us not being there.. I would highly recommended her to any cat person with any concerns xxx Happy cat😸= happy customer 🧍♀️ Will definitely be in touch again in the futureX
Melissa looked after our cat whilst we were on holiday recently. Shes not the most friendly cat and only likes being approached under her own circumstances but melissa was extremely understanding and reassured us throughout by sending us pictures. Would not hesitate to use this company again. Thanks again Melissa, it meant we were able to go away without worrying about our sassy gal, knowing she was being well cared for ❤️
Just back from a week's holiday in Tenerife and left my 3 cats in Mels very capable hands! One of our cats has specific diet requirements & daily medicine and nothing was too much of an ask for Mel. We got daily updates of how the girls were doing, and came home to the litter trays scooped and the house lovely and clean! Going away again in April and I'm sure the girls can't wait to see their new friend again 😻. Lovely to have the peace of mind that the girls are all still at home when we're on holiday. Thanks so much again, would recommend to everyone!
Would highly recommend Melissa. Prompt reliable lots of photos and updates and the house was tidied upon our return cat litter sorted rubbish out post on top etc... felt very relaxed while away. It was so nice to have our 19 year old cat at home and so well looked after. Thank you Melissa!
Left Daisy our little Jackapoo there for a couple of nights. She was well looked after and exercised. Really pleased with the service lovely clean kennels and given her own food - she’s a fuzzy little dog. First time we had to leave her but would not hesitate to take her back. Thank you for the great service
Perfectly sized big kennels very clean and very welcoming, big outside space for dogs which is perfect, 100% will recommend to family and friends, I wouldn't use anywhere else now!
Our dogs are always happy here, they don't get agitated about going and they're content when they come home. There's a field for them to run free in their family groups, underfloor heating, they very are reasonably priced and flexible too.
Recently visiting family in Carlisle, and found this gem. Brilliant kennels. Baxter was looked after so well, and the owner had all the appropriate Covid precautions in place. Will definitely be rebooking.
Warm welcome and my dogs love to come and stay. Clean and very big exercise area. I recommend this to all my friends.
my 14year old lab sky has just spent a week at radmores kennels. Nothing was too much trouble for them,she is diabetic and partially blind so required special care and insulin injectionson a daily basis. Cant thank them enough!
Very clean kennels with friendly,efficient,caring staff. Will use again without hesitation.
Very clean & friendly 👌 …
Clean and very welcoming
We send our Labrador Angus to Top Dog and he enjoys himself so much he never wants to leave! He loves spending time with all the other dogs. The staff are so lovely and send pictures throughout the day. I would highly recommend Top Dog 😌 …
Skye has been going to Top Dog since she was around 5 months old. I was so anxious leaving her but all of the staff were fantastic! She went for a settling in session first which helped us both! I love that we are sent photos throughout the session so we can see how she is getting on. They ensure she gets plenty of exercise, socialising, enrichment and rest! I honestly can’t recommend them enough!
Our boy has been going to TopDog for the last 2 months and we are so happy with the care he has received. It is just like taking a child to childcare! You drop them off with their food and a jacket if needed. The facility is secure, vaccination records are checked ✔ and all dogs go through an induction before attending. We get regular pupdates throughout the day and it's so nice to receive photo's of him when I am at work. Our boy loves it here and gets so excited when he realises where he is going. They love having him and I reckon if we were late one day they'd probably keep him ☺ The app for bookings is easy to use. Going here is a great for his socialisation with other dogs, and they take time to play and cuddle with the dogs. We can also get him groomed by Abbie who is the groomer on site whilst he is booked in for the day if needed. Overall a well rounded, friendly and professional service. Highly recommend 👍🏻🐶🐾💙
Amazing!! When Rio started just over 3 months ago he was so shy of everything but loved other dogs. We gave Top Dog a go as more of a social thing than a daycare and I can not be more thankful for the team there. He loves it! He’s gone from making a scene in the car park to jumping up at the door on arrival!! The guys there are amazing and clearly have so much care for the animals. I love getting photos throughout the day and he always comes back smelling amazing. When you ask him is he wants to go to daycare he now tilts his head and heads for the door. Thank you so much to the team at Top Dog. ♥️🐾
When a dog that is overwhelmed and becomes a little boisterous the response of Top Dog is to kick them out. No attempts made to calm down and then move the dog into a different group. Staff notified us once of this issue, then at the end of the next session provided video of the behaviour and staff doing nothing about it whilst in their care. The honest advice provided by staff when collecting dog at the end of the session was that he needs to be neutered, and that he wasn’t welcome back. I thought a business working with dogs would understand dog behaviours (including anxiety and overwhelming behaviour) and have the ability to separate from the larger mixed group when required to allow them to calm down. During the introductory walk around I was shown a quieter area that dogs could use if they needed separated at any point, but clearly this area was not used by staff to help in this circumstance. This behaviour has not arisen in any other environment, and I have not had the same issue whilst at other daycares or dog services used.
Couldn’t recommend Top Dog highly enough! Our dog cannot control her excitement when she knows she is doing to daycare, and comes home tired and happy after her fun day. All the staff are lovely and we love getting photos throughout the day showing us what Coco is up to!
We have been taking our dog to TopDog since he was a puppy and I can honestly say that the development he has made is amazing! We are greeted by a happy face every morning, and our little Arlo can’t wait to get in and start playing. The staff welcome every dog in by name and know them all inside out. The updates we receive throughout the day are a fantastic peace of mind, knowing that he is having a great time and is making friends. I would highly recommend TopDog to anybody looking for doggy day care. They are second to none and we are extremely grateful for all their hard work!
Our pup Fergus has gone to TopDog nearly every week for the last few months and he genuinely loves going there! For a dog that suffers with a bit of separation anxiety, he always trots in happy as larry with no turning back! The staff treat him as one of their own and he has lots of friends he plays with there. We get regular pictures and videos of him playing throughout the day which really puts us at ease knowing he is having a great time there. The price is really reasonable for a whole day of daycare and is worth every penny, not just because he isn't on his own when we are in work, but because he clearly loves going there and playing with all his friends! I would highly recommend :)
My senior dog recently starting attending Top Dog and he comes home after each visit full of joy. Dave and Vicky clearly have alot of care and compassion towards your dog and I feel very comfortable leaving him for the day there. Receiving regular photos of how he spends his day also cheers me up at work. I highly recommend Top Dog 💛🐶 …
My dogs have been going to Top Dog for a couple of month now and both love it. Vicky and the team do a great job looking after the dogs and send picture updates through the day. My dogs come home tired and smelling lovely every time. I would definitely recommend Top Dog 🐾 …
Fantastic service from lovely people in beautiful surroundings. Straight away you can tell how much Lesley and Allan both love all the cats they are looking after. When taking your cat into its area all the other cats look relaxed and at ease and everything is kept immaculately clean. I wouldn't leave my cat anywhere else.
Winnie was lovingly looked after, we can highly recommend Pawfection Cattery. We were kept updated with photos and when we phoned they’d obviously got to know her personality. A lovely clean, well managed environment. Thanks so much to Allan & Lesley
Bella had a wonderful stay at Pawfection Cattery. She acted like her usual Diva self and enjoyed the attention and care given. Loved the Facebook pics the owners kindly posted so we could see her whilst we were away and put our minds at rest. Spotless, clean surroundings and no hesitation taking her there again. Would definitely recommend 🐈⬛
Fantastic cattery. Beautifully maintained. Hold a few RSPCA cats needing rehoming in line with borders. All cats housed were happy, sociable and doted on.
Fabulous cattery I know that my boys will be fine when they are Lesley and Allan great at keeping pictures updated and bonus they collect your cats from your home.
Where do I start! I housed my 3 kitties with Lesley and Alan for 3 months whilst in the process of relocating. Lesley and Alan managed to make available space short notice and whereas I'm very picky who I leave my fur babies with I couldn't be more trusting and happy with the service provided. From the start they showered my kitties with love, attention and met all their tricky requirements. They sent me photos and updates frequently and were always on hand for any barmy question or demand I had. Lesley and Alan put their hearts and souls into this place and are the most wonderful of people who have now become very wonderful friends to me ! I'm very grateful and couldn't recommend a better place to house your fur babies. Highly Highly Recommend!
Pawfection is like a tranquil oasis retreat for cats. You really need to see the cattery to appreciate it's beauty. Alan and Lesley are just the most lovely, genuine, caring people. They love and care for each cat as if it were their own. Trust me, you won't take your cats anywhere else once they've been here.
Came here to view rescue cats as the RSPCA rent units from this business. It's an excellent cattery. Safe and clean with very caring owners. All the cats looked well looked after and are often treated with the secret cat weapon of Dreamies!
Amazing Cattery, I wouldn’t leave my cats anywhere else. The staff are incredibly kind and caring. It’s very clean, always smells nice and all the cats seems happy when I take and pick up my own cats. I would highly recommend this Cattery.
I have been using Pawfection now for a number of years. Both my cats love it there and I can leave them knowing they are in safe hands. The cattery is spotless and Lesley and Alan are lovely, you can tell they genuinely love the all the cats. Would give more stars if I could x
Recently sent our junior cat away for a stay here whilst we went on holiday and was super super happy with the service! The owners are lovely with amazing communication and took great care of our cat. Pick up/drop off service was brilliant too, 10/10!
Even though my 2 are extremely nervous cats, I know they were in the best place for 2 days whilst I visited family back down south. Will use again and would recommend 100 %
Excellent large 2 storey spaces with cat flap to outside caged area.
Real professionals know what the doing
I buy many Lakeland terrier puppies from this place is so fantastic dog very professional dog breeds and Lee so friendly 👍 To anyone doing bad comments Are you jealousy of Lee’s success?‼️😅 …
Fantastic day care! Elizabeth and Mike both really know their stuff and I feel safe knowing my dog will be well looked after. My dog absolutely loves it, she always comes back tired and content!
Amazing home from home care. My 3 came home so happy, clean and well looked after. Just wish they were bigger and I didn’t have to look elsewhere.
Excellent dogs love going very well looked after highly recommended 👍 👌 😀 😊 …
I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else!
Excellent care would highly recommend to anyone looking for boarding kennels
Always great and Alfie loves it.
Fab care and experience for Charlie
Simply superb
Roxy was deffo happy
