We were lucky to have Colin sit our dog Murphy for the second time. Just like the first time, Colin was organised, reliable, friendly and kept in touch throughout the entire sit. Our dog Murphy is a big fan of Colin, and Colin even left Murphy a little gift when he left which Murphy has gobbled up in the days after. Colin sets the bar very high for other sitters, and made us feel very relaxed when on our trip away from Murphy! Hopefully not our last sit with Colin!

We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Sami to housesit again. She was so communicative, organised, friendly and the house was clean when we arrived home with food left for the cats. Thank you Sami!

Trust us with your pets, they’ll be safe, happy and looked after like our own.
We are so lucky to of had Harry and Susan come and sit for us. It is such a relief being able to go away and not worry. We received pictures while we were away and the dogs were having a fab time and receiving lots of attention. It was lovely coming home, walking through the door and giving a big sigh of relief at how clean our home was left. They respected both us and the dogs and we couldn’t fault anything from the sit. We would certainly welcome them back again!

Thank you Duncan & Lisbeth for being our first housesitters. A new experience for us so was not sure what to expect or do. Minty adored you both, so much so she wanted to leave with you in your car when you left and then sulked for the first 24 hours. Minty was not at all happy to see her mum and dad home who deserted her home again. Things have returned to normal again in our household. Thank you for leaving our home as you found it. We will use this service again, thanks to this lovely couple.

Friend of animals & plants ❤
I knew I wanted Florence and her family to sit for us the moment we spoke! The dogs had a great time and did some long walks around Skipton and had plenty of cuddles on the sofa. We were sent photos which is always lovely to see. Liaising with Florence was easy and straightforward from start to finish. Sadly we didn’t get to meet due to timings but I trusted her enough to leave a key and instructions and we were on hand via WhatsApp. I would happily have Florence and her family sit for us again.

Gillian has been to sit for us before and it was really wonderful to see her again ! She looked after 2 of our dogs and they loved seeing her, especially Nelly who remembered her as soon as she arrived . Pi our other dog is still quite young and so it was a relief to have someone who knows young dogs and to be so kind and patient with him , even keeping up his heel work which was very helpful as we were away for quite a while. Gillian is so brilliant with communication and when there were any problems she was fantastic at keeping us updated and sorting everything out. I was really glad she was there and most grateful. We really hope she will come again Nelly and Pi would be thrilled to see her and so would we.

Trustworthy and Reliable Housesitter
Zoe looked after our cat during our two week trip away. This was the first time we’d used zeewoi and we were rather nervous leaving Ninja with a stranger. We needn’t have worried. Zoe was amazing. She came down the night before our trip to meet Ninja and he was more than happy in her company. We came home to a happy and contented cat. The house was clean and tidy and had been well looked after. Only one issue when we were away with wifi and Zoe managed to sort this out herself. Zoe was friendly and genuinely looking forward to staying in the area and looking after Ninja. We were very lucky to have her as our first sit. We would highly recommend Zoe to take care of your pets and house.

Natalia has been amazing with Limon. We were particularly impressed by how carefully Natalia paid attention to Limon's routine. It has been such a pleasure, we hope to see her again!

Friend to all Animals.
Penny sat for us for 2 weeks looking after our collie. I couldn’t really be happier with the way it went. She did exactly what she said she’d do and was flexible enough to work around our plans. She left the house immaculately clean and tidy with some cut flowers from the garden to welcome us home. I hope she’ll sit for us again. Thanks penny!
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
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.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
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!!:)
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
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!
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!
Was a perfect place to let the dogs out for a run about.
Brilliant and safe space to take your dogs , fully enclosed and water on site. My three boys love it and it's a large enough space to meet up with other families. Great if you're not confident with recall and a good place to practice it.
We left our greyhound for the first time. After doing a lot of research Laurney sounded perfect. It was even better than we expected. The staff asked questions about what would make her more comfortable, accommodated some of her unique needs, and helped to comfort us too. Every night we could see how our dog was doing through in room cameras, with a room that was set up with all her things to make her feel at home. She got to play with like minded dogs, which she doesn't have access to at home, and got lots of love and attention. When we picked her up she was groomed, happy, and confident. 100% Laurney will be her new home away from home.
Great services and lovely quarters for the dogs. The live camera during the evening was a nice touch too. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing set up! Friendly staff, dog came home fine, was happy pupper! My mum booked her dog in at the same time too, also loved it, was bathed and smelling lovely for coming home.
This weekend was the first time we had left our spaniels in kennels. Laura and the staff were fantastic keeping me up to date with how they were settling in and really listened when I was explaining the needs of my dogs and the best way to care for them. Much happier at the prospect of leaving them in kennels for my wedding in June.
Laurney Lodge is excellent, it is in an idyllic location and my dog really enjoyed his stay. They did everything to make his time there as comfortable as possible and he came back looking very healthy and happy. I highly recommend Laurney Lodge.
The best place to safely leave your dog if you're going on holidays! Have been using for few years now and can highly recommend.
Horrible experience with the owner. Extremely rude and stubborn. On the day of pickup there was a storm all over Scotland, snow over the roads and high winds over 100mph. The owner seems to think it's okay to say the roads are "drive-able" and it's "all clear" even after sending proof that there was snow on the roads the owner said it's drive-able, the owner doesn't know what type of car the other person is driving or how well they handle driving in the snow. You cannot say it's "drive-able" you have no idea what is and isn't.
Good fence field just a wet day
Highly recommend! Pet pals have been so fantastic with my 3 chihuahuas, and also been flexible in times I’ve needed extra visits. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 …
My Vizsla Gus loves his auntie Cathy n Bridgend. My 3rd dog to go here for holidays. Highly recommended.
We have used Bridgend for some time now and our dog virtually pulls us to the door when we arrive with her. She is very well looked after and always is reluctant when leave when we collect her.
We have used bridgend kennels for over 20years and cannot fault cathy and her team we have had many german shepherds over the years and one particular shepherd we had was very aggressive and Cathy took him in when we went on our break he came out as happier dog great kennels would leave my dogs with know one else well done cathy and her team
Fantastic kennels look after my boy and my little dolly really well. Highly recommended
Great place, my dog came so happy after few days there. Staff is very helpful and friendly
Cathy is amazing and Oscar always comes back really happy 😊 …
Really good dog kennels, they take good care of your pets
Fantastic kennels. Really look after our Springer superbly.

Amazing
I’ve had my 2 retrievers walked twice weekly with Active Paws since we moved to this area in 2018. They are an outstanding group of caring professionals who take as good care of my dogs as I do! My dogs are walked by Kim and they are always so excited when she arrives. They are taken on varied walks with other “pals” and by the looks of the photo updates we are provided with, they have an absolute ball! My husband and I wouldn’t be able to do the jobs we do without knowing our pets were taken care of. I don’t have to think twice about them on the days I work because I know they are in extremely capable hands. Highly recommend and 5 stars!
We left our dog coco with Mandy at active paws for 5 weeks to work on some problem behaviours such as pulling on lead, dog reactivity and being unable to settle in her crate. Having her back home after her time with Mandy has been great. We can now enjoy calm walks with coco walking by our side. She is also now fully crate trained and sleeps silently in her crate every night. Mandy also continues to provide support should we need it even now that coco is home. Can’t recommend active paws enough!
Went axe throwing. Fun activity, harder skill than we thought. But instructor Beth kept us right. Tea & coffee on site. Definitely recommend, excellent time and beautiful location.
We have used Active Paws for years and years. Mandy and her team give the best care to our two labradors. We have taken full advantage of all the pet services offered from early stages training, 1 to 1 training sessions, regular dog walking, pet sitting…the list is endless and we can’t be more happy. I would not hesitate to recommend Mandy and the team to anyone (oh and our girls don’t look back once when they go away to play with their chums!).
We were lucky enough to find Mandy when we were looking for a trainer/dog walker for our first puppy in 2018, she now looks after both our dogs every day and we know we can always rely on her and the rest of the Active Paws team. We would be lost with Active Paws, they have never let us down (even on the worst weather days) and they do everything they can to make sure our boys are looked after. Our boys love their walks and we love seeing the photos of them out with all their doggy friends. I would recommend Active Paws to anyone looking for a dog walker in the Laurencekirk area 🐕🦮🐾🐩
Mr B : 'I haz the bestest time when we go in da van for walks wiv me chums (I find it hard to make chums) but I know Kim keeps me safe and we had allll the fun. Merlyn : 'Ballll...did someone say ball...they definitely did say ball....where ball...gimme'
The Girls are absolutely fantastic always been 100% reliable never had to take time off from work Winston is going to be so sad to leave and miss his morning walks with them.
I absolutely recommend these guys! We went for the classic 6-week puppy class, and have 2 1-on-1 sessions with Mandy, and it definitely made puppyhood easier. We have a mad little springer, and knowing that we are on the right track, as well as being given some great advice and training tips made all the difference. He is still a crazy little man, but now we can see that what we teach him sinks in. The classes are based on positive training methods only, which is very important to me. Can't wait for future classes!
Fantastic! Really happy with all aspects of the service. Hugo loves Mandy and her team and he can’t wait to go out with them on walks and waits by the door for him! Great walks which engage him both physically and socially. Highly recommended.
Active Paws are just the best. My oldest dog loves his Mum but when it’s walkies time there is just no contest. Cuddles with Auntie Mandy win hands down!! I know my boys are in such safe and loving hands when they are out with Active Paws! Leannan and Scally wags Mum
It was a real pleasure to work with Michelle and we would highly recommend her services to anybody in the area. She pet sat our little pup George and his two furry pals, Max and Timmy, during our wedding weekend at Drumtochty Castle. Michelle is a qualified and insured dog carer, who is professional, committed and understands the needs of each pet are different. Her caring and calm nature was particularly welcomed by Timmy who can get very anxious in new surroundings and little pup George who is a little rocket full of energy. It was great having her support during those days and it gave us great peace of mind to know our dogs had company and great care. Thank you!
Put our two Labradors in here for two weeks. They loved it. Well looked after well fed and walked and loved. Definitely recommend.
Lovely owners who took great care of our cats. Thank you
Fatastic place to put your pet. Wonderful friendly service, very clean and tidy, and great location for us. Our pup loves it there and there's no looking back. Once we hand him over to Nadia, he's gone. Always happy and content. Nadia spends time letting you know how the stay was and if there are any issues to be aware of. Highly recommend.
Wouldn't take Ruby anywhere else! She has a blast and comes back happy every time!
My recent experience with my Lab, Hector and his friend Ocean has been excellent. Service good, kennels clean and dogs very happy. Nadia has just taken over and I wish her all the best. Ocean is my girlfriend's Doberman & cat Nikita spent 6 weeks at a time in the kennels over the last 2 years while their owner worked offshore. Excellent reports there as well.
The new owners Nadia and Jamie are friendly and welcoming. They looked after my cat Millie fantastically over Christmas! They will even pick up and drop off too. I would recommend this especially if you are travelling on A90 as it's very convenient to drop off your pets.
I have used Cairnview Kennels for almost a year now. I was doubtful at first and was anxious how Houston would react when he gets home. I do not like leaving my baby to the kennel but due to circumstances (surgery & personal reasons) I have to board him Sometimes they keep him for 6 weeks. To my surprise, he was the same Houston as we had the first day he left. Elaine,Wendy, and Kevin have been great to deal with. I feel comfortable to leave Houston at Cairnview, as it seems he truly enjoy being there. Cairnview also walks Houston. I would highly recommend this kennel. They have treated Houston great and Houston loves to see Kevin everyday.
Thank you to the AMAZING Miller Family for taking such great care of our pup! Our fur baby has loved her holidays and would love to come and stay again.
Jamie and Nadia are ever so helpful and my dog definitely had a great time coming home happy after spending 8 nights. Will definitely use them again
Excellent level of service, my cat always comes home happy and content. Very reasonable prices and lovely owners. Would highly recommend.
A lovely couple who run this place. Would recommend 100% . Will be returning our cat and dog for their holidays again!!
Our dog seemed quite happy after his stay and we would be happy to board him again. Thank you.
