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.

. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
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.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
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!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
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 Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least £15 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
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 Sittsy 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!
Put our 2 dogs here for 10 days, was abit worried as mia is a nervous anxious pup when out of her own environment but they were excellent with her spent time in her kennel to put her at ease. Molly was no problem. When we picked them up they were both very happy pups & I would definitely recommend here & will definitely be booking them in next year again. A big thank you to all of yous for the fabulous care you gave our pups.
This place has bunny rabbits to view out back! Also a pet shop with all the essentials inside for your pets, they also have a garden centre not massive but plenty to buy and kennels if you need to leave your pup for a while. They've always been lovely people and very friendly.
All the staff here are lovely, friendly & helpful. I buy my dog food & treats here regularly. The only drawback here is the terrible till/ stock control/ code system. A couple of times I’ve nearly said to just leave it, as it was taking so long to find a price. I wish the owner would update the system.😕
My husband and I have used Bauds many times over during the past 15 years. Our wee Yorkie was always eager to get to Bauds when we reached the top of the road. She instinctively knew where we were going. Her eagerness said it all. We never doubted how well she was looked after by both the friendly owner's and staff of Bauds. It made it much easier for us to relax and enjoy our own holiday breaks away. Thank you all at Bauds.
My doggie Oso, spent over 2 weeks there while I was on holiday. Was a bit concerned leaving him for so long, but the staff there were so helpful and put me at ease. Came home to a happy doggie. Would totally recommend.
Having put my dog to this kennels the staff were friendly and I was reassured that she would be well looked after unfortunately on my return my poor dog had lost 4.1 kg in weight lost her coller and lead and the staff couldn't remember the dogs name when I confronted the owner he was no help what's so ever
Has been my kennels of choice over the the lives of my last 4 dogs. Great staff and dogs come home healthy and happy.
Dogs love it there. Always happy to go and get a great welcome. Lovely friendly staff.
Aye good place to put your cat or dog look after them excellent
Very good recommend it to anybody Who is looking for a kennel for there pet's. Very friendly staff.
Our dog loves coming to stay here. He’s always well looked after and the staff are lovely
Chloe does a great cut ,wash, and dry on my two westies! Highly recommend
Took great care of my dogs. Really happy with the grooming that Chloe did. Not an easy task with two hairy doodles!
Following up from Spey's little stop over. What a fab place, great customer service, Sarah is loved by Spey, he enjoyed nothing more than running around the estate. Excellent kennels for all types of dogs, definitely recommend Sarah and team to anyone wishing to kennel their pets 👍 …
What a great place this is. Lots of space for the dogs to run about with fantastic agility equipment and toys. Will definitely be booking to go again. Thank you 🐶x …
Good service, the road is a farm road so you have to take it easy. .
So happy with Nalas cut xx Thankyou xx
Looked after my boy with lots of love and care ❤️
Lovely smelling doggy and very friendly staff.
Andy and Karen are absolutely brilliant with all the dogs, they have supported our nervous dog to feel very comfortable and built her confidence hugely. We have used the day service and boarding service, both fantastic, they treat the dogs with so much love and care. Our pup just loves to go out to see them.
This is the 1st time I have ever left any of my animals with people outside family.I certainly don't regret it,Kara had a wonderful time in a secure loving home with a special loving couple and I had a relaxing holiday,Andy kept me up to date with photos and Kara daily behaviour.I will highly recommend Edintore and have no problem Kara returning.Annie
This review is from Lola !, thank you to Andy & Karen for really looking after me I can't thank you both enough for giving me all the fun & care while I was booked into your 5 star doggy hotel , I'm booked in again soon can't wait & please say hello to Max .
Our 5 month old puppy went here for a week while we were on holiday, i recieved daily pupdates and could see how much fun he was having with Max, he was exceptionally well looked after and I have already book his next holiday, Thank you xx
Fantastic owners who really put the dogs first. Like a home from home for our dog
Superb!
Danni is absolutely fantastic, it’s not just a pet service she provides, she provides love and care to our fur babies too. We never worry when Danni is with them as we receive regular updates, pictures and videos so we know all our animals are safe and happy. She is exceptionally trustworthy, reliable and we are just so glad to have found her.
Danni is very professional and makes both owners and dogs at ease. My two shetland sheepdogs love her and I would recommend her to anyone needing a dog walker or pet sitter. She gives great feedback and photos while out with dogs which I find very reassuring.
We can't recommend Danni highly enough. Our dogs absolutely love her and she gives a high quality service, tailored to the needs of each dog and household. In addition to our two hounds, we regularly foster dogs who come with all sorts of issues and Danni takes all their little quirks in her stride and takes time to understand what's required both by us and the charity we foster for, which is hugely appreciated. All in all, an absolute star and our resident boys wouldn't have anybody else ❤️
Our girls absolutely love Danni and she loves them ! She is 100% reliable and trustworthy and we would use anyone else! Always keeps us up to date with pictures and videos whilst she's walking them/looking after them. Danni has also stayed in our home whilst we have been away and our minds have been completely at rest meaning we can enjoy time away knowing our pooches are well looked after!
Danni is amazing! She has looked after our two on and off when we have needed her. She is super reliable and will go Out her way to try and help even if it’s last minute. Our boy Dex really does not like being left along but it’s has got better and better as time he gone on. Having Danni being able to to do her pop in visits As well as walks has made our lives much easier and made Dex’s a happier one. Without Danni’s help I don’t think we would be able to go places that take longer than 30mins - 1hr. She really has helped Dex feel safe and treats our two Dogs like her own. 100% would recommend Danni with a doubt Thank again x
Danni has a way with animals - the love she has for them is obvious. My cats loved having her watch them (overnight stays) as she offered them comfort and company. Having Danni move in while we were away was the best decision i could have made - my mind was eased knowing that they had someone with them all night. I have her booked up for my holiday next year, and i wouldn’t consider anyone else now!
If you are looking for anyone to walk/ look after your best friend then look no further. We have had Danni on a few occasions and she is great and our dogs are always very happy.Will definitely use her again 🐕🦺
Danni gives a professional reliable service. We get a daily report on the walk and on Archies well-being. It's obvious she cares for Archie . Highly recommended.
Danni is brilliant reliable and very professional. Muttley absolutely adores her and is always excited to go for his walkies . I highly recommend her Services
Paawfect pet services is a very professional doggy care...my Harry adores Danni and she has a way with animals that they love her too back......nothing is any problem to Danni..always reliable and very very professional...would not hesitate to recommend Paawfect Pet Services...
Anyone looking for a reliable, kind, caring and animal loving sitter please do contact Jane. She came to our house when we were away to overnight stay with Franki. Really put our minds at ease that Franki was able to stay in the comfort of her own own, get lovely walks and have 24/7 company. If you know us, you’ll know we wouldn’t leave Franki with just anyone. To find Jane has made going away much easier, although I still cried when we left her 🥹🥰 Thank you Jane for the daily updates and ensuring Franki was so well looked after 🐾🫶🏾
We would highly recommend Jane for pet sitting. Jane looked after our little cat Pumpkin for 5 nights when we were away and was just wonderful. Our cat bonded with her immediately and we received regular updates and photos. We are already planning to book Jane again for future trips. Thank you so much Jane for looking after Pumpkin so well! We really appreciate it. Many thanks Zoë and Callum
Our dog is a hard nut to crack, he's takes a while to warm up to people usually, but with Jane it didn't take long at all. He has his quirks, but Jane worked with him, and they had the best time together, I think our dog was sad that Jane left. When we got home, he kept checking the spare room to see if she was there. 🥰It's such a relief to have someone that you can trust and you know your pet is in great hands! He also took well to Tomas, which surprised us as he normally is suspicious of men. If our dog gives the thumbs up (paws up?) then you know it's a five star rating! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was impressed with Jane when she came to meet my two elderly springer spaniels and a 11 month retriever / working cocker spaniel. Busy doggie home . As arranged Jane arrived to care / pet sit for them . My dogs were happy to see her and relaxed. Jane requested that their requirements food /meds/ behaviour etc be written down for reference especially as my springers are on medication. I felt relaxed and happy on leaving and received updates on how they were , also photos. Peace of mind . I returned home to three extremely happy and contented dogs . Feel really fortunate that I have found Jane and she is returning to care for Lady , Tiree and Tara next month . I definitely recommend Jane , The Sensible Sitter .
Jane has looked after our 5 dogs on 3 occasions last year and we have her booked in for a few sits this year as well. Jane has been really accommodating and will go above and beyond to help. It is very comforting knowing that Jane is so confident and competent with our beloved gang and we really could not recommend her enough. 😊🐾👍
Our two young springers were well looked after with regular pictures/updates and settled well with Jane. One of them tends to be a bit nervous with other people but clearly bonded as she was still fussing around Jane when we arrived home which really is most unusual. No hesitation in recommending her services.
Highly recommend Jane and we have already booked her in for another 3 times. Dogs loved her and she is so considerate of your needs ❤️
Would highly recommend this service. My pets were taken good care of in their own environment. The sensible sitter kept us regularly updated. Would definitely book again. Thank you
Provides a personal service with regular updates. A knowledgeable and experienced pet sitter.
Great attention to detail, a caring personal touch with professional standards and outstanding value. Highly recommended
