Experienced, reliable, retired, COVID-19 VAX, pet, house, plant & garden carer.
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!

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!

Friendly, responsible and reliable
Gemma returned to care for our dogs - this is the 3rd time she’s been here and this time she came with her own lovely dog and her family. We already knew we were leaving our house and dogs in safe hands due to previous sits, and it worked just as well with another dog and her family. The dogs were instantly at ease with everyone, including Gemma’s dog and were clearly well looked after. The house was left spotless, including stripped beds, washed sheets and even a cleaner fridge than we’d left. Gemma is not only an absolute gem of a housesitter but has also become a friend who we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to other hosts.

Animal lovers looking for furry friends to look after while travelling
Courtney and Chris were fabulous with our pets, and there were a few!! 2 dogs, 3 cats and 4 ducks. They coped so well, took the dogs lovely walks and lots of cuddles, and play time. Attended to my spoilt ducks and cats!! They looked after the house, left it clean and tidy and even baked us a banana loaf for our return, how welcoming was that😇Anyone lucky enough to have these guys watch their precious pets will know they can relax and enjoy a break away. Thank you Courtney and Chris🙋♀️❤️

Jo and her mum stayed for a long weekend and did a fantastic job. Even left a lovely bunch of flowers for our return. Easy to contact and the animals were perfectly looked after. Would definitely recommend ❤️

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.

This was the second sit that Priya has done for us ( which speaks for itself!). She is a lovely person - kind, warm, considerate - and the dogs clearly adore her. She sent us little messages and pictures while we were away, which we really appreciated. We felt entirely confident that she would look after our house and dogs as we do. She even baked a cake for our return!

Reliable and responsible professional available for long/short term house sits
Another perfect sit from Gail. Our little girl adores her, she’s happy and content with Gail. Our house was tidy and clean for our return. We Highly recommend Gail.
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
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.
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!
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.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
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.
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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!
Coalford are such fantastic kennels. We were a bit apprehensive about leaving them, as I’m sure any dog owner is the first time, and they’d never really been away from home without us before. We did a visit a few weeks prior to their stay, met the owners and had a tour of the facilities with our dogs. However, there was no need to be apprehensive, as they were extremely well looked after. We got an update with some photos after 24 hours to let us know how they were getting on (they were doing well) which was really appreciated and put us at ease. The facilities are really clean and not like any other kennels I’ve seen before, they’re got an individual outdoor run that can be covered and an inside area that’s more like a small utility room with an infrared heater and beds. The owners are brilliant with the dogs, they took the time to learn their commands and get to know their quirks and routines. The outside area is secure and filled with fun things for the dogs to do on the multiple walks they get every day. There’s also an inside area if the weather is bad. We arrived a day early to pick them up, and the dogs weren’t even at the gate until they heard our voices. Of course, they were extremely happy to see us and to get home, but it seemed like they had as good a time as they could have.
Fantastic kennels with beautiful grounds for the dogs to enjoy. Alan goes above and beyond to make sure our furries are happy 10/10!
Lovely quiet spot with excellent facilities and care for the dogs. Owners are very friendly and we were very happy to leave the dog here for a few days while on holiday.
Perfection.. home from home for the pups.. exceptional service and friendly owners
Clean, confortable kennels. The owners take great care of the dogs.
Great location, our dogs will b there in September hopefully
Not many kennels so little availability at short notice
5 star kennel and 5 star treatment from dedicated and friendly owners. Very highly recommended
love it.
My two bengals have stayed at purfect paws a few times now and always come back happy. It’s very clean and provides a good amount of space and great views for the cats. Kayleigh takes such great care of them both and I’ve even recommended purfect paws to my mum and sister who now take their cats there too.
I have now used Purfect Paws several times and my cats have always come back very content. The facilities are excellent - a good space on two levels for each cat - and the service offered by Kayleigh is outstanding. When my kitten burst out of her crate on the way to the car (my fault, I suspect), Kayleigh ran after her and caught her. I recommend Purfect Paws without any hesitation
First time leaving a cat in cattery and a recent rehome at that , I was very anxious. Kayleigh was friendly & helpful and put my mind at ease. She even emailed with pics while I was away to let me know he was settled and ok. Picked him up today and he didn’t seem to keen to leave !! Will definitely use PP again in future. Can not fault them in any way. Excellent facilities and service !!
I am happy to highly recommend Purfect paws Hotel. Our cat Tequila stayed at PP for 10 nights. We found the facilities, staff and attention to detail excellent. The units are very Clean, spacious and heated and to top it off Arrival and departure was very well organised. We will definitely book Tequila again without doubt.
So happy I chose to put my cat Otis here for a week whilst I went on holiday!!! It is such a lovely place and the pens for the cats are spacious and visibly very clean. And when I went to collect him he was wasn’t hiding or scared, he was so chilled so he obviously enjoyed his wee holiday also. Amazing service provided for the kitty’s by welcoming, lovely, caring people! And getting WhatsApp updates with photos of him totally put my mind at ease!! Great value for money with everything provided!! I will never choose to put him anywhere else!! Couldn’t thank yous enough! Xxxx
Kayleigh is lovely with such a gentle manner. We felt quite assured when leaving our cat, Pepper, with her; the environment is so calm and caring. Also, Kayleigh is incredibly understanding and accommodating. She understands mistakes can sometimes be made when booking, yet she is happy to make adjustments if at all possible. We've had to leave our cat for extended stays and it is clear Kayleigh has come to know Pepper very well -- she spends time telling us about Pepper's stay and her behaviour (and love of attention, which Kayleigh is happy to give!). It is a fantastic cattery with a wonderful team of kind people.
Friendly and professional cattery. Kayleigh sent photos and updates of how Maddy was. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely and clean cat accommodation. Maddy looked relaxed when we returned to collect her. Settled at home no problem. She must have relaxed and enjoyed her time there as she is normally a nervous cat. Will use again when required.
Lovely cattery. Kayleigh was very understanding about our very shy cat, Clover, and reassured us with texts and photos while we were away. The pens are a nice big size and Clover had an outside area and a hidey inside area. Apparently she enjoyed watching the horses opposite in the stables 😹 This was our first time at Perfect Paws and we will book again and recommend it to everyone 👍
Purfect Paws Pet Hotel is an amazing place I would highly recommend them. Kayleigh was very friendly and does an amazing job 👏 my cat Franklin stayed for 18 days she gave us updates and sent us photos to put our mind at ease. I will definitely use her services again thanks kayleigh from Tracey and Franklin x …
Purfect Paws Pet Hotel is amazing, clean, friendly and in a brilliant location. Kayleigh was so friendly and accommodating. Booking was easy and straight forward. Our cat was in no rush to leave and with regular updates from Kayleigh we knew he was well cared for.
Had not boarded my cat and ferrets here for a few years and was surprised to see how run down the place looked this time round. During the handover, the lady did not know what to house my 2 ferrets in or what to feed them and I was unhappy that they did not have accommodation ready for receiving them. I offered to take them through and get them set up after she also said she wasn’t used to ferrets but she declined. I did not feel confident leaving them but was dropping them off on route to my holiday and so felt committed to doing so. On return, I was advised my female ferret had passed away but was assured that there had been no problems during the stay but on returning home, my male ferret was so thin and emaciated that he was falling over and unable to stand up. I took him to the vet and they advised that he had either not been fed or had been fed the wrong thing. Very distressing experience and I would not recommend this place and will not return.
I don't even know where to start... When we dropped our cat off there was no one there to receive us, we were waiting for around 20 mins. The receptionist was cold and uninterested. A week later when we came to collect, again we were left waiting half an hour for an employee to arrive and a further 15 mins waiting for said employee to retrieve our cat (it seems like the cats are left unattended when there's no customers). We were then told to come through to the enclosure, as our cat was refusing to come out. We were shocked to see the poor conditions our cat was being held in. It was a cold concrete floor with no bed or food visible, only a dirty litter tray. There was a cat flap into the 'kennel' where any other cat could enter. Our cat had a new scar on his left cheek and broken skin on one of his paws. Our vet was certain that this was injury caused by another cat. This is not a pet resort but a pet prison! Our cat was crying out, hissing and hiding behind the door. When we got him home he was shaky, parched and starving. He didn't smell good, his coat was rough and he was lighter to pick up. We could never recommend this place and we will never return.
I've been boarding my parrot at pet resort for years I highly recommend them just picked up my parrot shes happy as every. very nice staff excellent service.Thanks again for looking after my parrot.
Very upset at how we have just been dealt with. I picked up my diabetic cat from here a day early, once I got my cat home I found out that she was soaked in cat urine. She has also lost over half a kilo in weight and may need to be admitted to the vets later today. The stories we have heard from the owner have changed repeatedly. On initial contact with the manager he said he knew she was covered in urine and was waiting for the heavy rain to stop to use grooming spray on her. Just now he claims she was wet from water she had knocked over. He left my elderly cat covered in her own urine for hours. Not only has the manager been extremely unhelpful one of the front of house staff was rude to my wife. On dropping my cat off, we were told that we needed to pay extra to have her insulin administered, the retort from the girl was “well you are paying for a 5star service”. Rude and indignant. We asked for a refund for the neglected state our cat returned in to be told that wasn’t an option. Overall I have found the whole service to be disgraceful and I would never ever recommend this place again.
We left our cats at the Aberdeen Pet Resort, Peterculter, for a week in April. When we got them home, less than a 5 minute drive, their travel carriers and blankets were covered in fur and urine. Our cats were absolutely stinking of urine too! I contacted the place immediately as I felt that they had been living in their travel carriers and using it as a litter tray too! Only to be told that they were not kept in their travel carriers and they had no idea why our cats smelt so bad! It must been the journey home, all 5 minutes of it!! DO NOT PUT YOUR BELOVED PETS HERE! This place should be closed immediately!!! Definitely not a genuine one star! I would give them nothing but closure!
I am happy to take my cat here. He has an indoor area with a shelf and a small outdoor area. It is very clean. I especially like that there are no dogs here as that stresses the cats out. Nice reception with welcoming residential cats and parrot. He always seems content when I collect him.
Reading these reviews is really upsetting. I put my cat in here a few years ago, and paid extra as it was over Xmas. When I got him back he was stinking I had to bathe him. I wonder now if he was kept in his box. I feel awful that he went through that experience. Lairshill is my go to now. They are very good.
I have used this cattery three times never any problems. The staff are really attentive they let me see the room she would be staying in. We discussed feeding options and what she liked and didnt like. We paid extra for some play time on a daily basis. Your pet will be weighed when you drop them off and again on collection which i really liked. Its a little difficult to find so put on your sat nav. Plenty parking right outside the main reception
The staff has always been friendly and helpful to me, the place appears clean and I see nothing of concern (reading the 1 star reviews). When I picked my cat up last time, my cat was hissing at me, but that's a reflection on him (he was rescued by the sspca and doesn't deal with new people or small spaces) and not the facility.
Second time our cats have stayed here as an emergency and both times they have become ill straight after. We will DEFINITELY not be leaving our cats here again...even if it is an emergency. The place stinks of cat pee as soon as you walk in,it is almost unbearable. We had emailed, agreed and paid an extra fee to drop our cats off late. Upon drop off at the agreed later time the owner decided to complain about how inconvenient late drop off times were for them and had a go at us about it..... yet it had all been agreed in writing and an extra fee paid for!!! Our advice is avoid this place. Nasty smells and awful management
