Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

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.
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Our review is written by Steven (house owner, host + my father) + also by Kim (the daughter). Written by Kim: This was our first house sit since the passing of my mother in late Dec 2023. I was helping my father Steven (whose profile it is) manage all the emails + try + find a great house sitter + came along Gretchen’s profile! Not only is she a cool cat + someone you might want to get to know, I found myself quickly talking to her. I shortly found out her profile is just a glimpse of how interesting she is but talking to her was so much better! She is a world traveler with many experiences + stories to share. We quickly became conversationalists who could talk forever + probably will continue to do so! Thank you TH! She is easy to communicate with + continued the consistent communication all along our journey of having her as our *first* guest after my mom’s passing. It was clearly a time filled with anxiety + sensitivity so there were some sensitive topics to go over + Gretchen got it right away. A few of our rooms in the house were off-limits (as they housed my mom’s things) but we reassured her the house has ample space for her to enjoy + there are many lovely outdoor spaces to boot! When she arrived she felt she was in paradise + really relished in the outdoor beauty + the indoor coziness. We were happy to share it with someone who appreciated it so much! She also was very understanding with the fact that both my dad + I would both be involved as we both handled different parts of the stay. Me, writing + setting up the Welcome Guide + would go over the situation but then upon her arrival my dad would take over + answer any questions mostly during her sit. The good part of having 2 people is she had accessibility to us both, in the case she needed it + sometimes it came up! She juggled all the communication oh so well. My mom usually handled most of the logistics so this being our first time we were nervous something would come up we might not know but it didn’t! It was new territory for us + we wanted to make sure she had everything. Gretchen handled it all with such ease, seamlessly, really respecting our wishes/desires + taking all the information into her hands + making it seem easy on her end to do so. She was easy to coordinate schedules with! There was a gap in her 1st + 2nd sit but everything went seamlessly even when my flight had a day long delay. She was able to coordinate schedules with me arriving in between, then leaving, my dad arriving different days + us extending the trip too. It all worked out! We were all a good team! She absolutely loved our older cat, Benny + he fast + furiously fell in love with her oh so easily. When I saw him, he looked oh so loved + after saying hi to me went over to ‘her’ bed + slept there waiting for her to come back. She sent many pictures, videos + even cute creations + toys she made for our Benny + it was obvious the house + our Benny were her first priority. She even asked us if she could help prune our flowers/shrubs, something my mom used to do + honestly it was an honor to hear her ask that. She was welcome to set up her art studio + play away. She was very communicative when our house cleaner, landscape gardener + house manager showered up for different reasons. When I arrived back for a short stint before she came back the 2nd time our mail was so well organized it was an assembly line! She also offered to take down our xmas tree (as we were a bit behind in taking down our xmas decorations) + she was sensitive to the fact that we were adjusting to a new normal. Thank you so much Gretchen! You made our first sit in a long time so seamless + such a relief that we are ready now to host again. We only wish we could have more Gretchen’s! (She’s also a super talented artist!) Written by Steven: Overall, Gretchen has been an absolute treasure. She has fulfilled our goals for a house sitter perfectly - she took good care of the house, great care of our treasured pet, Mr. Benny + took care of the grounds such as watering a few plants + trees. She excelled in all the above + is welcome back anytime I will be out of town in the future.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
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.
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
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!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
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 overnight 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 overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Only found this place last week and my Chihuahua 'Dottie' loves it there. She leaves the house, wagging her tiny tail and can't wait spend the day at Cheadle Dog House without so much as a second thought. Easy parking and easy to get to work after dropping Dottie off. And she comes home with a bounce in her step and a happy tale to tell. Staff are lovely, and really genuine with dogs best interests at heart ... very accommodating and reliable, I trust them with my dog - says it all!
I put my 2 year old golden retriever in day care at Cheadle Dog House and she absolutely loves it. So much in fact that she now goes there whenever I'm away on business. I had some reservations about putting Millie into dog day care as she'd never been to one previously, but my fears were quickly alleviated by the owners of the business - nothing is too much trouble. Caring and natural dog people, I couldn't of asked for better care of my dog and each time she visits, she does so with a big spring in her step, thoroughly enjoying her time there. Needless to say, I'd have no hesitation of recommending Cheadle Dog House to anyone in the local area.
Otis has been going Cheadle Dog House now for 4 months once a week and he loves it, he is pawing at the door to get in! Pearl and Ian are both very flexible and clearly enjoy looking after Otis
Friendly and excellent service from Ian and Pearl. Both my dogs, Dexter and Eddie look forward to spending time at Cheadle Dog House and I know they are being well looked after and well walked. Highly recommended!
These guys are amazing ! They're always really accommodating and help my girlfriend and I out with pick up and drop off times. Bruno our dog gets super excited when we drop him off, he clearly has a great time! Definitely recommend Cheadle Dog House!
Albert has had a fantastic time and Pearl and Ian are so friendly. Would thoroughly recommend them to anyone 👍🏼 …
Thank you for leaving us a 5***** listing review Andrea :)

We were so relieved to find Amanda at short notice and were delighted with her services. She visited our cat twice a day while we were away and sent us updates to show he was happy and eating. Excellent all round.
My dog Ruby loves Amanda and is so excited for her walks. It’s certainly the highlight of her day! She’s also stayed very happily at Amanda’s while we were on holiday. We were provided with lots of photos so we could see that she was very content. Amanda provides a very professional service and also ensures the dogs she walks get on well together.
Amanda has been great for my dog as a regular walker. He took to her straight away and comes back each time as happy as larry. She's reliable and great value too. The way each week is set up really works for me. Thanks Amanda for a thoughtful approach to service 🐾 …
Amanda looked after my mother-in-law’s cat while she was away visiting her daughter. It was a very last minute request but Amanda came to do a home visit the very next day and immediately reassured us. Sasha was taken good care of and it was good to know she was in safe hands. We will definitely be using Paws ‘n’ Claws again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others. Thank you.
Amanda is a fantastic dog walker and cat sitter. Our dog Olive loves spending time with her and always comes home exhausted! Amanda has also looked after our cat and always sends photos to keep us updated
Amanda has been completely amazing with our little darling. Each time Amanda comes through the door, our little cherub becomes the most excitable thing. He really loves her so much and that is because of the care and attention (and fun) he gets each day. I cannot recommend Paws n Claws enough. Such love and dedication to what they do. Thanks so much for making everything so much easier!
Amanda looked after our cat for a whole week while we were away. She came round for introductions and Cleo loved her straight away! Often stand-offish, she turned into a puddle of purrs. Amanda is friendly, professional and clearly has a way with animals. We felt completely happy trusting Cleo to her care and would definitely use her services again. P.S. Cleo says thanks for all the Dreamies!
100% recommend! Amanda has been amazing with Tigger and he absolutely loves going on groups walks with PawsNclaws. Amanda is very responsive and always keeps you updated with everything. Tigger is always buzzing when he knows it's time to go out and he loves the freedom to run, sniff, splash etc. One tired pup when he comes home! So glad we found you and that Mr T has a new bunch of friends to play with!
Amanda is brilliant with both dogs and humans! As a first time owner I was too nervous to let my pup off lead, Amanda gave me the confidence to try it and we’ve never looked back. Now Thelma has much nicer walks. She’s made a huge difference, highly recommend!
Amanda is amazing, and my dog thoroughly enjoys going out with her. She is so kind and patient with the dogs, and takes them on some lovely walks. We love the photos we get too! I highly recommend 👍🏻 …
Our little cavapoo loves going to the Doodle House - as soon as we get out of the car she’s pulling me up Jo’s drive and clawing at the front door to get in! Jo has such warmth and genuine care for every dog staying at her house. Ours has done one overnight stay but having already been to the Doodle House many times for daycare we knew our little pup would have an amazing time and we were able to have a relaxing night away knowing she’d be cared for beautifully. Jo always gives regular updates and sends photos and videos of what the doggies get up to and I can see our little pup having a ball. Jo responds to messages quickly when asking about availability and getting booked in. I cannot recommend the Doodle House enough for doggy daycare and boarding. We know for sure that after our holiday in a few months’ time that our dog won’t want to leave the Doodle House ☺️
Our little Frankie had an amazing time at the Doodle House while we were on holiday. Jo has been so thoughtful and loving, making sure he has had fun-filled days of activities as well all the home comforts. Our regular photo and video updates became a highlight of our holiday and we could see how happy he was. He’s made lots of doggy friends and is definitely missing Jo. I could not recommend the Doodle House highly enough and we are looking to secure a booking for next summer…
Jo is simply amazing! Our two Colliepoos/Bordoodles boarded with Jo for 8 nights and they honestly had THE best time! Jo is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and loved our dogs as if they were her own. I received updates with photos at a minimum of daily but often two to three times a day. Jo walked them a couple of times each day, provided lots of enrichment activities, tonnes of treats, booked dog parks and dog sensory rooms and provided so much love to the dogs. It was also a bit of a heat wave during their stay and Jo ensured they were properly taken care of with respect to the heat too. Jo’s house is perfect with a big open plan kitchen and a lovely garden with lots of space. Jo accommodated our dogs’ sleeping arrangements with their crate and allowed them to roam around the house during the day, relax on the sofa and even had the odd cuddle with Jo in her room. Our dogs weren’t only taken care of by Jo but they were accepted into and loved by Jo’s whole family whilst they stayed. Everyone in the house formed such a bond with the dogs. It was emotional collecting them because I could see how much The Doodle House had become a true home for the dogs during their stay. Jo does everything by the book, covers all bases with her forms and allowed us to organise multiple overnight visits on the lead up to the long 8 nights. I honestly couldn’t recommend Jo more! Our dogs had an amazing time. Jo provided such peace of mind and it meant I could truly relax whilst away, knowing the dogs were having a great holiday themselves. We will be booking in with Jo as much as she’ll have us, she’s absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much Jo x
I was really excited when I found out about The Doodle House because I knew Jo when she was a childminder and I knew how much love and attention she gave to the children in her care. She now puts just as much effort and love into caring for the pups. Jo went above and beyond, taking great care of Cookie, sending loads of pics and videos every day, treating her as part of the family, allowing her to sleep beside her, lots of trips out to parks and doggie play centres, daily activities, paddling pools and doggie olympics! She even brought Cookie home to greet us as we got out of the taxi, what a lovely surprise! The kids were so happy to see her. It was lovely to see how Cookie had bonded with Jo and her family. We’ve already booked Cookie in with Jo for our next trips away.
My experience with The doodlehouse was one of a kind. I was very hesitant to go on holiday as was struggling to find a reliable pet sitter for my 2 cockapoo girls. I’ve never left them with anyone and kennels were not an option. I was worried thinking to myself “Will I be able to find someone who will treat them like their own and let them be on the couch and let them sleep on their bed”….I started to panic and considered cancelling my holiday. After months of searching, I came across Joanne through a recommendation, so I sent an email and received a reply right away. We spoke on the phone and agreed for a meet a greet. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed as her home has a big open plan kitchen and cute garden with plenty of space to play and toilet. I also met her two little dogs (Monty and Elsie) who were so lovely. Jo greeted me warmly and took the time to answer all my questions and address any concerns I had about leaving my pet. You could tell she was genuinely caring and showed a deep understanding of animal care. I could not believe she was just like me… crazy about her fur babies!! TRIAL: I proceeded to book an overnight trial to see how my dogs would get on. One of my dogs Bella is SUPER anxious/shy (brown) and the other Cheeky is very clingy (red) to me. Jo provided updates as the night went on and I was shocked to see my clingy dog snuggled next to her on the bed. Jo provided honest update and said my other dog Bella was a little anxious but eventually settled. I appreciated her honesty and she gave me reassurance it would take time for my anxious dog to settle, and she would be fine. The night before their stay my red cockapoo had to have her nail pulled so I had to tell Jo about this as she needed medication for a few days. Jo did not even hesitate and said no problem. I left instructions for her to administer her meds and all fine. I put all my trust in Jo and her family and left my girls with her for 2 weeks. Throughout my pet's stay, I received daily updates, photos and even videos, which gave me reassurance and I really enjoyed my time away because I knew my girls were having a blast. My girls were entertained and taken to various enclosed parks, stimulating games and more games in her home. Haha! My anxious/shy dog (brown) was TOTALLY enjoying herself and well the clingy dog (red) looked like she FORGOT all about ME! :D Collection day.. they were in great spirits, which indicated to me that they had been treated with love and attention during their stay. Their hair was nicely brushed, and they both smelled lovely and even had little bandanas which was such a sweet touch. I HIGHLY recommend Jo you won’t regret it. Truly a unique experience and I will be using her services again in the future. If you're looking for a safe and caring place to board your pet, look no further than The doodlehouse ❤ thanks Jo xx
Jo loves my dog as much as I do, or even more! She takes such special care to provide all her doggy guests with a fun packed and entertaining series of activities - you dont just sit in the house when you stay at the Doodlehouse! Our pup has just had his third overnight visit. He couldn’t wait to go in and was welcomed with open arms. We were kept updated on a very regular basis with photos of our pup having his best time, out and about on lovely walks and enjoying lots of play. I can’t recommend Jo enough. Her whole family are involved in making sure all her guests are made to feel welcome and loved.
Joanne provides an incredible service at The Doodle House. My wife and I have two little girls, an F1 Cockapoo (Bella) and an F2 Cockapoo (Chica). We were so iffy about taking a holiday that we looked at many different options, such as kennels. None of them could have lived up to the attention and care that Joanne provided. We constantly interacted via WhatsApp throughout our travels and received daily photos/videos. Also, one of our girls (Chica) had her nail pulled a day before we were due to travel, and Joanne was so understanding. We did leave notes as medication had to be given, but we just felt so at ease. I didn't worry whatsoever, and I completely trusted Joanne. Bella struggles with anxiety, too, but I feel like that went out the window. She was running and socialising with other dogs as normal. It was beautiful to see. Joanne provided a unique service. She treated our girls like her own, and I can't thank her enough. I would 100% recommend her to anyone and will continue using her services going forward.
What can I say? Jo at the doodle house is incredible for our boy Dexter. He gets so excited when he arrives, and from the regular WhatsApp message updates, pictures and videos I can see why. From trips to different enclosed play areas and parks to stimulating craft games. We're so fortunate to have such a wonderful service so close to home. We couldn't recommend the doodle house more highly.
We chose to board our dogs with Jo and her family because it was a true home from home experience, filled with the best care and lots of love. Jo is so thorough, really knows her stuff and keeps us updated on our dogs adventures with them! From our first meeting the dogs settled in and made friends with her doodles, who are the cutest and friendliest dogs. Whilst our dogs stayed with them we had lots of updates including videos and photos, communication is fantastic and we loved following their adventures. When we came to collect them after a few days they were so relaxed and content, they didn’t want to leave! We can’t wait to try out some day care days with the doodle house and know that they will be in the best care when we next go on holiday. Thanks Jo and family!
Joanne treats all dogs that visit/board as her own - and takes a real interest into your dog’s likes/dislikes and personality. Joanne’s home is lovely and very well equipped to dog boarding. When our dog stays with Joanne, we receive multiple photo and video updates over each day - and we never have to worry about whether our dog is having a good time, which allows us to switch off and enjoy our time away. I would highly recommend Joanne to any doodle owner 😊
We were delighted with how Nicola looked after our cat, Cosimo. Her updates and communication were excellent. She’s professional and so considerate. Cosimo isn’t always comfortable around other people but Nicola clearly loves animals and is skilled at caring for them so they bonded in no time! It was so reassuring to know that he was in good hands. I highly recommend her and we will definitely always use her services in the future.
Nicola was such a caring and loving person, and also trustworthy and professional. She looked after of my rats, degus and hamster when I was away for a week. Everyone was happy and healthy so she did an amazing job. I will highly recommend her to anyone whose pets need some love and attention while you are on holiday.
Nicola has been walking Betsy for over a year and we are SO glad to have found her. Betsy can be really iffy with strangers but Nicola was patient with her and they were best friends from day one. Betsy's daily walk with Nicola is the highlight of her day, I can't recommend Pawz Patrol highly enough :)
Nicola has been walking my dog Archie for 6 months and she’s been great! Archie is a rescue who doesn’t like other dogs and Nicola has been great with him, doing solo walks and keeping a distance from other dogs. She incredibly reliable and Archie loves his walks! Thank you 😊 …
Monty has been with Pawz Patrol for a few months now and absolutely loves it! I thought he would be limited to solo walks as he had anxiety but he really enjoys the group walks and has made great doggie friends. As a lockdown puppy, I was worried about him going to a dog walker after me working at home but he was fine within a few weeks and Nicola worked really hard to ensure he settled. I couldn’t recommend Pawz Patrol highly enough!
Nicola clearly loves animals and is very organised and reliable. We were delighted to receive updates about our cat while on holiday, including photos. She also went above and beyond by watering plants and doing some other household tasks etc! Highly recommended.
Nicola was excellent in caring for our guinea pigs whilst we were away for a weekend. Her daily home visits included updates on our boys and we knew they were in the best hands.
Nicola has been walking our puppy for the past month. She has given us complete peace of mind when we're at work and our puppy is very happy. Would highly recommend Pawz Patrol.
Nicola is great with my 13 yr old Westie. When she arrives at the door his loyalty to me vanishes. He's out the door like a shot!! He has definitely benefitted from being socialised. Clearly has fun going by the nap he has when gets back!! 😂😂 Nicola is reliable, communicates well and has a wealth of knowledge.
Brilliant dog walker - would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks for all that you do to give Molly such lovely walks and keep her safe and clean in all weathers! Your flexibility also hugely helps out family. You go above and beyond. Thanks again
Suki and Edwin are hands down the best pet sitters in Manchester! They took care of my dog, Fay Fay (a very picky boy), for two weeks, and I couldn't be more grateful. From the start, they showed such genuine care and love for him, and it’s clear they both have a passion for animals. Fay Fay can be quite particular, especially with his food, but Suki takes special care of his diet, ensuring he's well-fed and content. They also take him out for walks and playtime, which he absolutely enjoys. Suki and Edwin’s own dog, Eevee, is so well-trained and gets along wonderfully with Fay Fay. It’s heartwarming to see how comfortable Fay Fay is around her, and it really shows how well Eevee is raised. One of the best parts is that they sent us photos and videos of Fay Fay every day during his two-week stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I really appreciate their professionalism, the daily updates, and their flexibility. I highly recommend Suki and Edwin to anyone looking for loving and reliable pet sitters! ❤️
Best dog sitter in Manchester! Suki is without a doubt a top tier dog sitter. She looked after our labradoodle reggie for just over a week and although reggie usually hates us going away, he had so much fun and was given 5 star attention and love throughout his stay. We were given regular updates everyday with pictures and videos. Reggie has quite a strict food regimen and Suki was so flexible and accommodated everything we asked. Reggie also has some medical issues and Suki was able to respond to these quickly and highly professionally, even administering difficult medication when needed. We feel like there’s no one more skilled and safe to leave your dog with than her. Could not recommend her services enough. Everything down to the smallest detail was tailored perfectly for Reggie’s stay. Thank you so much, we cannot thank you enough for going above and beyond for Reggie. And I’m sure he misses you all and Evee!
We brought our 4 months old Pomeranian boy to Suki’s place for boarding for a few days. Suki is very responsible and friendly. She kept updating us on how our boy did during the day. She also told us lots of useful information as we have never kept a dog before. Our boy has had his first walk out with Suki too. PS; Suki’s pet, Eevee is very gentle. She acts like a big sister taking care of my boy :)
Absolutely the BEST dog sitter I've ever had the pleasure of working with! This sitter wasn't just responsible and detail-oriented; they went above and beyond to keep me updated with countless videos and photos, showcasing my dog's daily activities and overall well-being while I was out of town. They adhered to a strict feeding schedule, ensured timely walks, and to my delight, there was a noticeable improvement in my dog's behavior. My dog didn't just return home in better physical health but also exhibited signs of improved mental wellness. The frequent updates provided a comforting window into my dog's day, allowing me to see their joyful moments and peaceful rest times, which truly eased my mind while I was away. I wholeheartedly recommend this sitter to anyone in need of an attentive and caring professional for their pet. Their commitment to my dog's care and happiness was evident, making them an invaluable partner in pet care.
They provide excellent care for my senior dog, and we trust them completely. When we travel, they send us regular updates with photos and videos. I highly recommend their pet sitting and boarding services to all my friends."
Excellent pet accompanying service. My cat need to be accompanied for 4 days during my trip away from Manchester. Thanks for Suki, she gives me a before trip advice and with good communication during my trip. I can keep track on my cat and Suki always send me pictures of my cat to cure my home sick. Thank you for being so kind to take well care to my little angel. Will definitely come back for the service!
The best dog sitter! I left my cocker spaniel for the first time for 2 weeks, so I was very nervous. We were sent lots of photos and videos every day, which made our holiday so much more enjoyable as we weren’t worried at all! He was very well looked after and they even helped train him in things we’ve been struggling to! He came back a much calmer and well behaved dog as well as us being given lots of useful information for us to better train him going forward. Their dog Eevee is so calm and patient with our dog, they got on so well! I will only use Pokepooch Pet Care for our future holidays.
Great dog boarding service we never had before. Suki is a warm and experienced person, flexible for our needs. And taking good care of my puppy Roxy. Everything they do is much appreciated.
Wonderful stay. They took excellent care of our dogs, happy and safe environment. Suki keeps me updated all the time and I felt so relieved. Highly recommended!
Amazing Dog Sitter!! Cooper had a wonderful time, had a very long walks, lot of play time and rest. Very responsable, attentive and always reliable.
We approached Jason at short notice and he pulled out all the stops to find us a wonderful placement for Lexi. The experience was great from start to finish and I would not hesitate to recommend Jason and PetStay
This is the first time I've used PetStay for my 6 year old dog Lottie and have been so impressed with the service provided by Jason. Lottie stayed with Mark and his 2 dogs and I could not of wished for a better career! Mark took amazing care of my little girl whilst we were on holiday and sent me lots of updates and photos, which really reassured me that Lottie was settled and happy. When I came to collect Lottie she was obviously very pleased to see me but equally was also sad to leave Mark as she gave him a big love before she left and I just knew she had a very happy time during her stay. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone as he is such a kind considerate career and treated Lottie just like one of his own dogs.
I cannot praise Jason at Petstay high enough. He arranged for me to meet a very lovely couple to keep my dog for Christmas. He was very meticulous and everything was in place . Unfortunately my dog got very sick and I couldn’t leave him . Jason despite he didn’t have to do it as the deposit was not refundable he returned me all the money. You don’t easily come across this kind of people and I felt the need to leave a review regarding this. Jason showed such empathy as Archie passed away and he sent me a lovely email.
Very nervous leaving Floss with someone unfamiliar as she’s a very clingy dog, who really needs “her people”. Didn’t need to be, Mark quickly made himself “Floss’s person” and sent me regular updates, with photos of exactly what I needed to see - cuddles on the sofa! Mark went above and beyond, even popping to our preferred pet shop to replenish food. Mark knew that Floss was nervous and went out of his way to make sure she wasn’t left, which even we don’t always do. I felt happy knowing Floss was being loved whilst we enjoyed our holiday.
This is the second time Jasper has stayed with Mark and he's had a great time. I think Mark was happy that my flight was delayed so he got to keep Jasper for an extra night! Excellent service, keeps me updated with photos throughout. Can thoroughly recommend.
Toffee's first stay away for over 5 years. She settled really well with Mark and came home happy and relaxed.
Ziggy seems to have had a great time on his first try at home boarding. Janice was lovely and kind
Sidney seemed very happy and we had contact with carer while a way.
What a great service. Our dog was looked after really well, with plenty of walks. Thank-you to Mimi and James ?
Hi Avril, Thanks for giving us 5 Stars ⭐️
Started using Andy over the last couple of months. Our Julian (who used to be a reactive dog) loves him. Very reliable and has stepped in to help looking after Julian when we had a couple of family emergencies. Would highly recommend!
I cannot recommend Andy highly enough. Our dog Leo is slightly nervous around people but he warmed up to Andy so quickly! Leo is always so excited when Andy arrives and judging by the photos we receive- Leo has the best time! He is always sleepy after his walks! Andy is incredibly reliable, professional, friendly, and cares deeply about the dogs he walks. Very reasonably priced too!
I can highly recommend Andy at Groucho Barx. I was having a really busy week but my dog needed walking. I got in touch with Andy who responded immediately with availability, so I was able to book her in for a reasonable price and a time that suited me. I was a little nervous because it was not a service I had used before but I had no need to worry. Andy arrived on time, dressed for the rubbish weather and he took her out for a good hour, taking the time to listen to my numerous instructions and worries beforehand. When he returned, it was obvious that my dog had made a friend for life. She really didn't want to leave his side and had obviously enjoyed a good walk. As an added bonus, Andy had taken the time to make sure she was clean and dry. It is definitely a service I would use again and Andy will be my first point of call. He really listens and he genuinely cares about providing a good service for you and your dog.
We have used Petpals Poynton and Stockport East for many years now with all our pets (cats, dog, chickens, guinea pigs). We cannot recommend them more. They are fantastic and go above and beyond when needed. Great service and really appreciate their efforts.
I can not recommend Petpals Poynton and Stockport East more highly! They have been looking after our cat Mavis for over 3 years. She’s an old girl and needs a lot more attention than most other cats, as she needs medicine administered twice a day. Petpals are so gentle with her, give us regular updates when we’re away and are reasonably priced. It is so very reassuring to know that our cat is so well cared for. Lynda and Ian even go out of their way to bring our bins in which is very kind. I can’t underestimate how lucky we feel to have found this company and how reliable and helpful Lynda and Ian are. If you have any pet caring needs they should be your first port of call!
Ian and Lynda have cared for my spaniels for 10 years now, having them to stay at home for holidays and doing regular and one off walks whenever we've needed them. They have seen my dogs grow from puppies to adults and gave extra special care to my elderly dog when he needed it, including administering multiple medications, unexpected vet visits during a holiday and so much tender loving care. I have complete trust in Ian and Lynda to care for my dogs and highly recommend them to other owners no matter what species, breed or age their pet is.
Ian and Lynda are fantastic with our dog Teddy. He gets on well with them and enjoys his walks. They take him out twice weekly and he's always tired afterwards! We like the little report that they leave us telling us about the walk. They are really flexible and have always managed to fit us in when we have an 'emergency' need for a walker. Friendly, caring, really nice people; couldn't recommend them more highly.
Ian and Lynda have walked our terrier, Maisie since she was a puppy and she is now 13 and diabetic. When Rio the greyhound joined us in 2015 he was welcomed by Ian and Lynda and began walks too. Both dogs have boarded with Ian and Lynda and had great holidays there. Both Rio and Maisie love Ian and Lynda and run up the hall to greet them at walk time. They have been especially patient and kind with Maisie as she has aged and slowed down. Alongside dog walking, Ian and Lynda feed our two cats and our tropical fish when we are away. They have even put the bins out and watered plants! We couldn't recommend them more highly. Lovely people , obvious animal lovers and highly dedicated.
Lynda recently took care of our 4 buns whilst on holiday and she did a fantastic job. We have a big set up and clean everyday and she literally followed my routine and notes I gave her which I really appreciated her keeping things as normal for the buns as possible She provided daily updates which I loved and I’ve come home to some happy buns who probably had no idea we had even gone anywhere 😂 I know my buns take longer than other visits but Lynda never complained and did everything I would happily recommend and will hopefully use her again soon - if she wants to come back 😂
“Home from Home” We can’t speak highly enough of the wonderful service provided by Ian and Lynda at Petpals Poynton and Stockport East. It is a real comfort to know that our dog is in such good hands when we go on holiday. She is an Irish Setter rescue who had been badly abused when young and, consequently, is very nervous and wary of people. However she immediately took to Ian and Lynda and is now totally relaxed in her home from home when we are away. They obviously appreciate our anxiety and keep in touch with photographs and updates during her stay. It’s a tribute to their professionalism and their caring, calm and easy manner. They clearly love the dogs they look after and that’s what makes them so good at what they do. David and Janet Ross, Stockport
Lynda and Ian has cared for our cat Ally on many occasions whilst we've been away. They are extremely professional and very loving towards her. Although she is shy with strangers they tell me she comes running up to them for a fuss on every visit. We have no hesitation in recommending their excellent service to others.
Ian and Lynda are excellent with our two dogs (a lab and Bernese mountain dog). They're really flexible which is ideal for us and the dogs clearly love spending time with them. I couldn't recommend them highly enough!
The Petpals Poynton team have been fantastic walking my dog Max. They are caring people and have been extremely flexible regarding hours as I work shifts which can change last minute, plus as there are (I believe!) 4 of them you don’t have the worry you might have with a solo walker that they might have to cancel due to illness for example. Highly recommended!
I can't recommend Mandi enough! She took exceptional care of our two Sphynx cats, who absolutely love her. It’s the third time that she looked after our boys we could not appreciate more her services. From the moment we met her, it was clear she was committed and passionate and professional about her work. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. We received regular updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. If you need someone who genuinely loves and understands cats, Mandi is the perfect choice. He Our cats can't wait to see her again! Many thanks for doing this brilliant job! You are a star!
What a wonderful service, came twice a day to feed my fur babies, spending longer than the agreed 20 mins. I think Mandi fell in love with Bertie, my younger cat, and I received daily photos and the occasional video. Would I ask her to come again? In a heartbeat, if you're looking for a reliable catsitter look no further
Mandi has looked after my cat, Cosmo, on a number of occasions. Initially, I was looking for someone to look after him as a 'one off' situation because I couldn't get a friend to help out, but I've since decided to always go back to Mandi. Mr Cosmo is a very nervous boy and he generally hides away whenever anyone steps into my apartment. Mandi realised that he needed a gentler approach and miraculously, she manages to get him to come out for pets every time she looks after him. Clearly she can read animals very well. The best part is the daily updates/pictures/videos that put me totally at ease so I can enjoy my trip. Fabulous service and a lovely lady to work with. Cosmo and I will most certainly be back!
**SAFE PAIR OF HANDS - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** What an absolute gem Mandi is. We were very wary of using a new person after a bad experience with a different sitter a few years ago. Mandi went out of her way to reassure us and took impeccable care of our cat, sending daily updates and offering suggestions on how she could help our little anxious fur ball while we were away. Her love of animals shines through, and our very aloof (rescue) cat instantly warmed to her.
"EXCELLENT dog walker“ 🐾 My dog Hector is a very energetic 2 year old Labrador and he loves going out for walks with Mandi. When he hears her car outside the house he bounces around excitedly at the front door waiting to see her. We first met Mandi nearly in May 2023 and Hector instantly felt comfortable in her company. I was so happy when Mandi agreed to add him to her weekly schedule as he is much bigger than most of Mandi’s regular 4 legged friends, but she got to know him and built up a super rapport with him and he’s very attentive to her commands and communication and very well behaved and obedient on her walks with other dogs too. Initially Mandi came for a few weeks to give Hector ‘comfort breaks’ as he had recently had live inoculations and couldn’t mix with other dogs. He was stimulated with toys and games and very much enjoyed the treats (which are high value and nutritious) as rewards, as all Labradors do love their food! Once he could mix again Mandi was careful to pair him with her other charges as Hector was nearly 2 feet tall by then and very bouncy. Mandi is totally trustworthy (we feel confident that she holds house keys to take care of Hector whilst we are out) diligent, conscientious and very caring with all the animals she takes into her care and her gentle and ‘firm but kind’ tone of voice and body language reflect these qualities too helping the dogs to feel at ease and strengthens the bond which Mandi has with them. Hector has a weekly walk with Mandi and comes back after having a full hour out (sometimes a little longer too) very tired and sleeps soundly afterwards. We got regular updates via text message also videos in the early walks which ensured us that ‘all was well’ and that Hector was safe and having lots of fun on the many different walks and surroundings Mandi would go. I regularly request extra walks and Mandi always manages to fit us into her busy schedules which helps us very much, and letting us know the day before what time she will arrive, so accommodating! I would definitely happily recommend her services to anyone she is responsible, reliable and very trustworthy and loves animals deeply, also with her great experience coupled with an extensive wealth of dog behavioural knowledge, Mandi gives me total confidence that Hector is in ‘great hands’ and is extremely well looked after, which is so reassuring. Big thanks Mandi for all your valuable help and care, Jay Johnson & Hector 🐾
I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional care my beloved cats received from Mandi while I was away. Not only did she provide an outstanding service, but she also went above and beyond by sending me multiple heartwarming pictures of my two playful sphynx cats, which instantly put my mind at ease. Her dedication and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. The peace of mind I felt knowing that my cats were in such capable and caring hands was truly priceless. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mandi to anyone seeking top-notch care for their pets. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her wonderful services in the future!
Mandi’s been great, we never have to worry knowing she is going round. Very reliable and always gives detailed updates with pictures!! Our cats are so much happier with Mandi coming round rather than them going into a cattery.
Mandi has been absolutely fantastic as a cat sitter. My cats are typically quite shy around people but they've really warmed to her in a short time. Mandi is always very reliable and sends me updates and pictures regularly, letting me know how everything is getting on which is always appreciated. It's always super easy to arrange cat sitting with Mandi and her communications help take the stress out of leaving the cats alone, highly recommended and thank you!
Mandi has been great, she has looked after my pets and provided excellent service, sent updates and photos regularly and was a delight to talk about her pets diets and how I can improve my own pets diets. I would highly recommend Mandi's services to anyone
You instantly feel comfortable with Mandi and we are so happy we found her as a cat sitter. We get photos and updates on how the cats are doing which are much appreciated! Our cats can be shy, however love it when Mandi comes round! Would recommend to anyone!
Simeon was very professional, friendly and was quick to respond. Our cat is very skittish and we were amazed that she took to Simeon immediately and was fine to sleep while a stranger was here. She usually runs away! While away we received updates and photos to assure us she was safe. We will definitely be using this pet service again, and would highly recommend it to others.
Simone had looked after my cat for a few days while I was away. From start to finish he has been very professional. He has kept me well informed on how the cat was doing with accompanying photographs. I have no hesitation in recommending his services.
Had a great experience entrusting our two house blobs to Simeon while we were away for a family reunion. He was professional, personable, and we left reassured that our cats would be taken care of. While away we received updates and photos, and we were even rescued by Simeon when our return flight date went awry. We will definitely be using this pet service again, and are happy to recommend it/Simeon to others.
We've asked Simeon at Fluffies to cat-sit twice now. Our cat can be a bit of a diva and overly sensitive to change but once he knew what was what with Simeon all was fine. We met Simeon prior to our first booking and he obviously loves cats, so we felt comfortable with our choice. He has also put out/collected our bins and mail for us which helps to make your house look less vacant. His prices are exceptionally reasonable and we have been able to book him at short notice (although obviously try to book in advance if you can). Receiving updates and pics via WhatsApp every day really helps reassure you, especially if you overly worry about your pet.
A very efficient and professional service, but with a personal touch. Simeon looked after our two cats, visiting our home daily, whilst we were away on holiday and updated with emails and photographs, which was very reassuring. He is very mindful of security and confidentiality, and I would have no hesitation in recommending this service.
We contacted Simeon after our usual petsitter had had to cancel due to illness. It was fairly last minute but he squeezed us in! Simeon is very friendly and spent a good amount of time meeting our rats and talking about their needs. During our holiday we had regular updates and texts were answered promptly. We felt confident that our rats were well cared for and Simeon even put our bins out.
I would definitely recommend using this service. Simeon is great! It was incredibly reassuring to get daily updates whilst we were away & Simeon sent us pictures too. Our cats much preferred this to going in a battery. Will definitely use again.
Brilliant service. Had absolute peace of mind that all the pets were well looked after, and receiving pictures and text updates on how things were was great. Nice knowing someone was keeping an eye on the house as well! Would definitely recommend Simeon to look after your pets.
Being sent pictures of a very happy kitty whilst away really reasurred us that they were in good hands. Having that peice of mind made the world to us. I don't normally write reviews but I would highly recommend. Simeon was great and will now be our go to sitter in future.
Simeon is super friendly, very organised and happy to cater to specific needs for my rabbit. He also sends me updates and pics on whatsapp which is really reassuring when you're away from your pet. Thanks Simeon!
