Providing Pet Sitting in the Dunvegan, United Kingdom
Energetic animal lover and walking enthusiast with a love for the countryside.
Rachel was lovely and our menagerie gave her a Gold Star! Murdo the kitten said he'd had the best time with her and she gave him more than enough cuddles. The dogs had good walks and lots of fun and all would happily have her to stay again. The house was left clean and tidy and Rachel even did some rose pruning for us! So we all hope that she and maybe Dan and their wee spaniel will come again next year.

Semi retired with a new found freedom to enjoy life and new places
Moray and his partner Jas sat for as for a week. Everything was well organized from the beginning, starting from an introduction call to the actuall visit. We prefer to meet our sitters before we leave to introduce Sima our cat and explain things around the house, Moray and Jas seem experienced in their profile which also shows when you meet them in real life, this is very important for is as Sima can be a difficult cat at times, so this gave us peace of mind. Once we returned, all was well with Sima and we came back to a perfectly cleaned house, everything was washed, which we highly appreciated as we know its not an easy job. Thank you very much Moray and Jas, we highly recommend you guys and wish you best of luck on further sits.

LOOKING TO TRAVEL & LOOK AFTER YOUR PETS.
Sonia and her daughter sat for our dog Harry while we were away for a few days. Sonia was very easy to deal with in the run up to the sit, and arrived the evening before we were due to leave so she was there in good time. Once we were away she kept in touch with photos of Harry and asking questions regarding Harry and his routine, and generally about the house. All worked perfectly. We arrived back late in the evening of their last day and Sonia stayed until the late afternoon to ensure Harry was not left alone too long. I'd definitely recommend her!

Well where do I start! Mel and Bear are just the most amazing couple. They are so kind, caring thoughtful and the list could just go on. My new friends (who I now feel are like family),are genuine animal lovers and have spoilt my two dogs with so much love. They have gone above and beyond to make sure that they are happy and well cared for. My house was left immaculate and Bear left some wonderful origami -absolute works of art! Mel a talented artist, kindly did Reiki which I had never done before but I am really glad I have experienced it. She is such a beautiful lady inside and out. I highly recommend them to anyone who really loves their pets. You will be guaranteed a peace of mind whilst away. They sent pictures and stayed in contact throughout. My dogs loved them and bonded instantly. I wish them the all the best and hopefully see them again soon x
Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
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!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
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!
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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!
My two boys, Cham and Dyson, went to stay with Viv, Steve & Archie at the end of January 2022. We had a little meet up beforehand to make sure they’d have the best time when they came to stay and it went really well. I had a few organisational issues my end, so I had to keep slightly changing the plan on the run up to their stay. However Viv was very kind and worked with me with all the plan changes. It was comforting to know the boys would be in a lovely friendly home despite whilst we were away. We got lots of lovely photos of the boys throughout and updates on how they were doing. They had an absolutely great time and I will definitely be booking again. I’d also recommend Viv & Steve’s boarding services to anyone who wants to hear! Thanks so much guys, hopefully see you again very soon.
I can not recommended Viv and Steve highly enough!! I genuinely do not know what we would have done without them in our lives! This is Dougal's home from home and he absolutely adores the both of them! As do I!! You will not find a better home boarding home that is for sure! 5 star treatment. Supreme quality, love and treats for any lucky pooch!
Wonderful and super friendly. They spoiled our cheeky dog absolutely rotten on both visits whilst we were on holiday in Portree, which meant we got to experience some of the fabulous restaurants on the island. She even wanted to go back inside when we came to collect her from her overnight stay and walkies!
We booked our dog in for doggy day care while on holiday on Skye. Communication was efficient and clear. The service was very friendly and our dog had a great time. We would definitely recommend Walkies!
Thank you so much for 5 stars! We love your precious wee R & V, of course they are welcome here always. See you very soon xxx
I have been using Croft Pets (Sue) for quite some time and have absolutely no hesitation in providing this positive review. Both my dogs love going out with Sue and staying in her home. Sue is professional and and provides a fab service which is very much valued by me and my dogs. Thank you!
I regularly use Croft Pet Services for my two bunnies when we have to be away. Sue is brilliant, looks after them so well, such a kind hearted person who you can see just loves the animals. We never worry at all, as Sue is so trusted, we know our pets are in great hands. Highly recommended!
We have used Sue's service when away from home and have always been absolutely delighted with Croft Pets. Reliable, caring and a pleasure to deal with, we could always be confident that our pet was being loved and well looked after. Someone who goes the extra mile and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Sue is very reliable and has great communication. Very trustworthy with our two dogs who she visits regularly for us. It’s a relief knowing they get their mid-day wander!
Fabulous service! Sue walks my dog regularly at least once a week. Also, my dog has stayed with Sue in her home quite happily, even though she is quite a clingy dog, completely indifferent to strangers. Sue’s quiet, calm manner will give reassurance to nervous dogs. Sue is reliable, friendly and professional. We are lucky to have her!
Our cat is quite elderly and needs medication so we worry about leaving her but thankfully we are able to call on Sue at Croft Pet Services. She is very professional and follows your instructions but you can tell that she is also affectionate and caring towards your pet. We would 100% recommend her services.
Our cats adore Sue and when we have to go away it is with complete confidence that they are looked after so well and with kindness. Flexible service which has helped us during extended periods and family emergencies, we cant recommend Croft Pets highly enough.
Thank you so much Sue, for always taking great care of our cat while we are away, it is lovely for him to be able to stay in his home and be comfortable rather than going to a cattery. Everything is kept clean and tidy for us when we get back. You always manage to fit us in even a last minute break at Christmas - Thank you 😊 …
Sue walks our bouncy flat coat Jura weekly, she is reliable and very flexible to our needs for extra walks etc. We love the fact Jura gets a proper off lead run around and Jura is delighted to see Sue. Would definitely recommend.
My dogs, past and present, all love Sue! Reliable and flexible, even at short notice. Highly recommend her.
My dog seems to love it here, she gets excited whenever she knows we are heading that way. Karen and all the staff are lovely and both the dogs always come back very well looked after.
My kitten came to stay for the first time yesterday and I'm so so impressed with not only the accommodation she stayed in, but the friendliness of the staff. You can so tell that they truly love all the animals they have stay. I really appreciated the lovely update text, it was a nidr touch. Dottie will be back very soon. Thanks again.x
Karen and her team are lovely and caring. My three dogs love staying at Aird Kennels, they don’t even so much as glance back as they walk off and we leave! Any dog staying at Aird Kennels will be well looked after and loved.
Probably the best place you'll ever board your dog or cat , the care is second to none🐶🐺 …
Have taken my dogs here for years and is the best. My dogs are so clean and chilled after being here makes leaving them a wee bit easier.
We had a family emergency and Karen pulled out all the stops to accommodate our cat. What a super place, lovely staff and Karen is obviously an animal lover. We are so grateful for Karen's help and if anyone is looking for a cattery/kennel, this is the place to go!
I went over on the ferry and was meet by the owner a very friendly Karen who took my dogs off me and looked after them really well. So if you are looking for a special place to put your dog or cat don't go past Aird Boarding kennel and Cattery.
We love taking the dogs here and the dogs love Karen and her staff . They always come back happy and clean . Their tails are wagging in anticipation of their next holiday !
We have boarded our cat here four times now and it's an excellent place. It's good to go away knowing that your pet is being well looked after . Thanks guys.
Fantastic place karen and the girls are great with dogs .
