Jenn was an absolute delight to have stay and care for our Radar. She showed such kindness and attention to his every need. We had the pleasure of daily updates and photos of him which was really reassuring and often amusing. Can’t praise her enough. Thank you Jenn you are a treasure.

Solo traveller looking for pets and homes to care for.
This was the third time that Pauline has sat for us and that in itself speaks volumes . This was also the longest sit at nearly 3 weeks and we had no doubt that our home and Suki our TT would be in safe hands . From the outset, it was clear that Suki had not forgotten Pauline . Suki’s greeting was very enthusiastic and we just knew that all would be well . As normal, our home was spotless on our return and Suki had benefited from spending time with Pauline and learnt new training commands . Needless to say we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Pauline and plan to ask her to sit again .

Max did a fantastic job of watching Storm, keeping me updated, and taking care of things around the house. The house was spotless when I returned home. I would not hesitate to have Max pet sit for me again

Trustworthy and respectful married couple
Stephen and Stella were totally amazing! They helped us out at the last minute as our other house sitters let us down two weeks before we were due to go on holiday. Their communication was excellent and they happily arrived at 8.30 am in order that we could have a half hour handover before leaving. Our two dogs were extremely happy in their care and they left our house tidy with sheets and towels washed and hanging out to dry even though we arrived back early in the morning. I would have no hesitation in recommending these two lovely people and I sincerely hope that they would be happy to come back another time.

Annie and Mark
In the lead up to the house sit, we had a couple of calls with Annie and Mark, which were very useful and reassuring for us, given this was our first experience of zeewoi. Communication and timing of arrival was excellent. Given we were still sorting out various "things" before we departed, we were able to get to know them and do a full hand over, which they took in their stride and allowed us to quickly relax about leaving Nelson the Flatboat and the house in their capable hands. A couple of updates with pictures were sent during our holiday which is what we had asked for and were well received. We would welcome Mark and Annie back should we make future holiday arrangements and it fitted with their schedule. We arrived home to a very excitable Nelson, and a sense that the house had been well looked after as well. Thank you.

Sabrina looked after my two cats and house for a week and was absolutely fantastic. She is very self-reliant and just arrived and got on with everything. One of my cats is quite needy and she took that completely in her stride. The house was left immaculately clean and tidy. If Sabrina is available for future sits I would be really delighted and would thoroughly recommend her. Thank you, Sabrina!

Trustworthy teacher to look after your home and pets
Helen was great. We had a video call initially and on the day I was leaving we agreed she would arrive early and meet my cat and I and, get acquainted. I felt very comfortable leaving my cat and home in her care. She is a safe pair of hands and seems very capable and experienced. Wouldn’t hesitate to have her sit again. Home was left immaculate as well and my cat was so chill he barely registered my arrival when I got back. Thank you Helen.

KEY WORDS/PHRASES: Trustworthy, clean, reliable, your pets new best friend!

Mature & Caring Animal lover, soon to be travelling SE Asia for fur baby cuddles
We have had Sonya house sit for us on several occasions which has been great, especially for our nervous cat who has been able to become accustomed to her. She gave us peace of mind and communicated well with us when we were away. We hope to have her back when she returns from her travels.

3rd or 4th sit with us and hopefully will be more!
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
. 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 was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
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!
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
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!
Fran has been absolutely fantastic. You won’t ever need to worry about your furry pets with her, because she does all that is needed an more. I have a cat which needs to be taken care of while I am visiting my home country, which happened quite a few times since I had my cat 2years and a half ago. I always used her services and the experience has always been amazing. She reassured me every day with videos and pictures of my cat, from the moment she opened the door to the minute she left. She played with her, and covered up for last minutes requests to make sure she was okay. You can tell she loves her job a lot and she loves to make sure owners are happy and have no worries. Couldn’t recommend her enough!
5 stars and would have given more if it was possible. Ben and Ryan are brilliant and look after my cat just as I ask them to. They spend time with my cat on each visit, making sure he's got a dose of quality time. Daily updates are sent via Whatsapp, letting you know all is well. Would recommend Pets&Pads to anyone looking for someone to look after their pet whilst away.
Amazing home from home,Bonnie our lab had a wonderful holiday with these guys, so glad we found Ben and Ryan ,will never use kennels again now we have these guys,can't thank them enough .
Ben & Ryan are absolutely perfect for us looking after our two mad French Bulldogs. So friendly, helpful and professional. I couldn’t think of anyone else i’d rather trust my two boys with. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Ben and Ryan did an exceptional job of looking after our tiny dwarf rabbit and our (not so tiny) Ragdoll cat. Genuinely lovely people. Great communication with regular updates, we always felt as though our pets were in the safest of hands while we were away. We will definitely be using them again and would not hesitate to recommend their services.
Our much loved arthritic girl could not have been in better hands, from a pre service meet and greet to the photos that were sent throughout the day. We were able to enjoy our son's wedding without worry. We will definitely be using Ryan and Ben for any future occasions
Oscar had a fabulous first afternoon with Ben and Ryan. He was clearly extremely happy and relaxed to be with them, and seemed very keen to tell me all about his afternoon's adventures. The first of many I hope :)
Roxy Roly Ozzy & Lola had a wonderful time with Ryan & Ben lots of cuddles & love 😘 so nice to go away and know our babies are happy being looked after in their own home Thanku guys look forward to seeing you again soon Totally recommend these lovely guys Thanku Heather x
Ben & Ryan are lovely and very professional, couldn't recommend a better place to send your beloved pets!!
Wouldn't have anyone else look after my pets or house. Whether it's for an event like a wedding or day trip or a longer vacation, I know my pets are in good hands. I was even happy to leave my dog after a recent surgery because I knew Gemma would look after her as well as (if not better!!) than me. 5* all round. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Gemma delivers a thoroughly reliable and professional service, at very reasonable rates; and she is absolutely lovely with the animals, very caring and always thoughtful.
Our 2 elderly spaniels had been here years ago with previous kennel owner. Dec 2023 they had a 1 week stay. The kennels were dark and cold, but we were assured there was heating via heat lights. We paid extra to have them returned at the end of the week. Their brand new bed was covered in wee and poo as were the dog's feet and legs. The bed was thrown in the bin it was so bad. The dogs were washed by us and I cancelled the next booking for March, losing my deposit rather than put them in there again.
I have boarded my dog's twice now and highly recommend Bowesfield. The girls really care about the dogs. I was a bit apprehensive when I first left my “baby” for 10 days, but i received photos and update's which really helped me not worry about him. I have since got a second dog and they both stayed for a couple of days in April. They loved it, and knowing they were being looked after so well, was so reassuring.
What a lovely and caring environment. When we were really stuck after a mix up at Eurotunnel, Christine and the team did their best to find Pippin a place and take him in for a night whilst we sorted care. They were compassionate, understanding and clearly ‘animal first’ people who understand they are more than just pets. Facilitates were clean and spacious, with little clipboards on every door which set out each dogs own needs and personalities. We were really grateful to them for helping us out, and would highly recommend if you’re looking for a caring kennel.
Outstanding service and care, wouldn't take my puppy anywhere else. He loves going in for his regular groom and cut x
First time for our dogs at Bowesfield. Staff was really friendly and helpful. When we picked our girls up after our holiday, they were relaxed, happy and well-fed! (One of them tends to lose weight when in kennels, but she was in great shape here!). Thank you Bowesfield team ☺️
My dogs are very happy staying here and staff are fantastic and put so much looking after your pets ,my dogs also have a grooming here which is also fantastic
I would highly recommend Bowesfield Farm Boarding Kennels & Cattery for your furry loved ones! I am 100% sure that Buzz and Woody have been happier here than they are at home judging by the photos I have been sent. I am a bit of a helicopter dog mum, and panic over everything so imagine the worry I had when they phoned me on their first day there. Full blown panic at seeing their number appear on the way to the airport, just for them to tell me they couldn’t find the vitamins that they take in the bag (put them on the side for my husband to pack and he forgot) They offered to go and get them for me, so the boys still had their routine. It’s the extra details that made me feel at ease. Picked them up today, and honestly it felt like they were family. The boys were so happy, looked healthy and I will 100% be using them again.
I left my two dogs on sun 3 sept this year for three nights for a short stay and I was very impressed the first time I pulled up at the kennels it was so peaceful staff very friendly and caring felt very warming and comfortable will definitely use this kennels again thank you
Very happy dog after his stay at these kennels. He usually tells us off, but not after staying here. The staff obviously enjoy their work and showed us around prior to our dog's stay with enthusiasm. The items for sale in reception are very keenly priced so a new collar was purchased. A grooming service before collection will be tried next time. Well done.
These guys are amazing , they looked after my cat Willow for the first time for 12 days , I picked willow up and she looked as healthy and content as when I dropped her off , staff were great and friendly and booking was so easy and the boarding was spotless Highly recommend and will be using again
Beautiful, beautiful walks, stunning views across the water and of Dover Castle. The air is clean and fresh, absolutely loved it, can't say anything good enough.
Heidi and David have the perfect home from home for dogs. They are experienced dog handlers and my rather anxious lab is relaxed and happy when I pick him up. They have lots of land for safe walking and Heidi sends plenty of updates and pictures of the dogs enjoying their stay. Can’t recommend highly enough.
My Rottie,Beau,loved his time spent with Heidi and David. It was like home from home for him due to being made to feel like one of the family during his stay. The video updates showed him out walking with David happily engaging with him and his tail in the air loving life!! This gives me great peace of mind to know that he is safe,secure and most importantly happy to be there. I’ll be using their services whenever I go away in the future. A big thanks to David and Heidi from me and my boy 🐶
We recently boarded our dog with David and Heidi, the experience was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, making sure our dog felt at home from the moment we arrived. The facilities were spotless, and we loved that the dogs had plenty of space to play and socialise. Our dog came back happy, well-fed, and clearly had a great time. We also appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a safe and loving environment for their pet. We’ll definitely be back!
Come Stay Play is simply the best care your dogs can receive! Heidi and David’s expertise and dedication shine through in every detail. They took incredible care of my two VERY high-maintenance Vizslas, Gatsby (3) and Bombette (5 months) ensuring both had personalised attention and a perfect balance of downtime and play. Their picturesque Kent countryside home is an idyllic setting, and I always return to two happy, tired pups! I have complete peace of mind knowing my dogs are in the best possible hands!
Top-notch experience. Friendly, polite, really clean car and great driving skills. I really enjoyed my travel and do recommend his services for whatever you need a ride to.
Very nice company and great service and the driver very friendly and helpful and the price lower than other companies I compare the best price I recommend it
I have used this company, they are really good and reliable will trusted 👍 …
My girl Minerva has been going to daycare/boarding at Home From Home for years and she loves every minute. Julia and Jess are the nicest people you could ever meet and treat every dog that steps through their door as part of the family. It is basically Minervas' second home. They send gorgeous photos and videos throughout the day to show me how much fun Mins having. The photo attached is from one of her days there and you can see for yourselves just how relaxed and happy she is. When I pick her up at the end of the day Min can barely keep her eyes open she is so exhausted from having the time of her life with all her friends. Julia's home is welcoming, immaculate and secure for your pooch. I wish I could give Home From Home 100 stars as they deserve every one for what they do. We are so lucky to have found them and I wouldn't send my precious girl anywhere else.
Home from Home really is a home from home for our dog Indie. She is very well looked after and treated gently for her nervous nature. We always get photos and feedback of her day. Julia and Jess are lovely as well as very professional and I couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you for looking after our precious pup!
Home from Home have been looking after our dog since she was a pup. It is the highlight of her week going to hang out with her besties. It is truly our dogs second home and you know she is being well looked after! The picture and video updates throughout the day also put you at ease. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!😍🤗
4 months ago, we made the decision that our 3 month old puppy would need to stay with someone on the night of our wedding, at which point he would be almost 7 months old. This was the most daunting decision for us and not something we took lightly. Our wedding venue recommended Julia and Jess and we took a trip down to meet them. From the moment we stepped in the door of their beautiful home, all three of us (my now husband, our puppy and I) were completely at ease. They are the most lovely, professional and caring family you could ever wish to leave your beloved pet with. Julia has been so great with her communication, answering my constant, long, worried emails and reassuring me along the way. I knew way before the wedding that Julia and Jess would look after Teddy as if he were there own and that's just what they did. The videos they sent me of him showed him behaving as he does with us at home, i.e. standing on your chest, tail wagging and licking your face - so I knew he was totally content, even without us there. I cannot recommend Home from Home enough. Thank you so much Julia, Jess and Hannah for looking after our fur baby, Teddy. I hope we can keep in touch. xxx
From enquiry to daycare Julia and Jess have always been extremely professional, kind and caring. My little pupper loves going to daycare with them so much I have increased the amount of days. I receive regular updates, photos and video throughout the day which put my mind at rest. If you ever need a high standard professional service do not hesitate to contact Home from Home.
