A traveller ready to support other travellers and pat their pets
Alex came back to sit for Perky and Remy over the summer and once again the pets had a great time, including adventure days out! As ever, Alex was very communicative, accommodating and took care of our place as if it were her own. Would highly recommend Alex as a Zeewoi.

Mature, reliable, responsible, committed animal lover
Gillian was wonderful. Communication was great before, during and after sit. She sent photos of Luna with cute wee updates, I could tell Luna was very fond of her & they connected quickly. Gillian was very friendly & kind. The house was spotless on our return. I have already asked her back on a repeat sit. Five star sitter 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Retired Scottish couple - free to travel - caring for your precious pets & home
As before, we had an excellent experience by having Pearl and John looking after our family. Hugo and the kittens had been well looked after and our house was imaculate. Pearl and John have looked after our gang many times and we feel totally confident leaving them in their care.

Reliable & experienced. Feel assured that your home and pets are in safe hands!
I enjoyed clear and friendly communication with Astrid before the sit, and prompt messaging in the days running up to the sit, confirming the finer details. I came home to a spotless house and a lovely handover note with exactly the helpful information that I needed. My two cats were calm and relaxed, a sign that they have not been stressed while I've been away. I'm grateful for Astrid's care for the girls and for my home. Thank you Astrid!

A couple of easy-going creatives. (Non smokers, double vaccinated and has a car)
Lucy and Jaz were the best sitters! We were away for nearly 3 weeks and returned home to a pair of happy and relaxed pets. The apartment was immaculate, clean and tidy and the laundry was on! They are a lovely couple and true animal lovers - our neighbours remarked on how well they were taking care of Hoshi. I recommend them very highly.

Animal loving couple looking 2 spend as much time with furry friends as possible
Thank you Dylan for your sit last week. You were very easy to communicate with, while being self sufficient and making sure Spyro felt looked after. We came home to a very chilled fella which I know means he's had a good weekend so thank you again!

Experienced and loving. Taking genuine care of your home, pets & plants!
Bogdan took care of our cats and our house for the second time. Communication was easy and we could set up everything very quickly as Bogdan already knew the house and the cats. The cats still seemed to remember him from 2 years before and they were quite trustful from the beginning. During our vacation he gave us regular updates with nice pictures of the cats. We were always reassured that the cats were fine and everything was in order at home. We came back to find two relaxed cats and a spotlessly clean house. We would not hesitate to recommend Bogdan as a sitter.

Pets aren’t our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
Linda & Tony were fabulous dogsitters and Tilly was very sad to see them go. They looked after the house and car immaculately and even cooked us a meal for when we returned. Not only were they excellent sitters but Tilly was clearly very happy to be with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to look after their pet.

Hi, I'm Janna. I'm a full time traveler, who's responsible and loves animals :)
Great experience with Janna, good communication throughout the booking and stay, Magda was very clearly loving the care and attention. We came home to a very clean flat and a very happy cat, would highly recommend.
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!!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
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.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
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
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!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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!
Great shop for all dog supplies. Really good knowledge of the owners on pet foods, toys, etc. Also started a loyalty scheme for frequent buyers which looks great value.
Amazing shop! They LOVE dogs and you can tell :) got some really helpful advice about our pup who’s a very fussy eater and it’s worked!!
Quite simply put I love this shop and so do my dogs, lots of goodies and a huge choice of foods for our best friends and the staff are so lovely
Your shop is always very well stocked, prices are great plus stuff friendly and helpful. I have moved out from the area almost 3 years ago and still visiting the shop, when I am around. On many occasions I have asked friends and family to go there and buy goodies for my 3 dogs. Now I am also your online customer :-)
I ordered a gorgeous harness and lead, unfortunately the lead was out of stock but I was contacted straight the way to make arrangements for when it was back in stock a couple of days later. I then had my order posted out as promised on an am delivery to make sure I still had them for my weekend trip! Thanks so much guys, that’s choosing a small business for you 😊
My puppy goes to daycare at carefree Canines and he loves it. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and happy to help with anything. I had a great experience getting a new harness and lead for my pup, it was fitted in store and I got to try a little walk outside to get a feel for it before buying. I always recommend to everyone to use carefree.
Fantastic place! They are full of helpful advice and so patient with my endless questions. It's great being able to try different sizes of harness, coats etc too. The online shop means I can order the big bags of food to my door too!
Brilliant, great services, puppy loves puppy club and the range of products (food and other) is extensive and high quality
Such a great place for dog treats all natural food for them all..
Great choice of food and treats on offer. Staff always very helpful with advice. Great products in store.
As it's getting near holiday time I thought I would let you know about Boggs Dogs. Like most dog owners your holidays are always tinged with a bit of sadness, as usually you must leave your dog behind and put them into kennels, but the last time we went away we found Boggs Dogs. It is the most wonderful place to board your dog, be it for a short or long stay. You couldn't board your dog anywhere better, Melaney who runs Boggs Dogs is amazing, when we left our dog we knew she would be so well looked after, lots of space to run around in, and best of all, no dogs shut up in kennels. Melaney and her family treated our dog as if it were their own. I therefore give Boggs Dogs 5 stars as they give your dogs a 5 star stay with them, so look no further this is THE place to board your dog.
Spot has been coming here for years and he absolutely adores Mel and the team. The location is perfect and the facilities are top of class. The dogs get tons of (supervised) freedom and proper exercise, ie genuine walks, and they all seem so happy together. Really good value.
Emma has been walking our labradoodle Bramble for nearly a year now and we honestly couldn’t be happier with her service. Bramble is a very large dog with lots of energy and Emma is brilliant with her. Bramble waits by the door each week for her walk and is always so excited to see Emma - she loves her! We would 100% recommend Emma to anyone!
Our dog Maisie has been going on walks with Emma for over a year now and she/us couldn’t be more happier. When Maisie hears ‘Emma’ her tail just starts wagging. We can always count on her and she’s been so accommodating and helpful. Couldn’t recommend a better dog walker in East Lothian!
I can’t recommend adventure paws enough! Emma has been amazing from our first meeting she was so lovely and welcoming, my dog Millie absolutely loves her I think Emma might be Millie’s favourite person🤣 I know Millie is having an amazing time on the walks we love to see her happy😊 Thank you Emma! …
After a change of circumstances at home, we needed to find someone we could trust with our boy - and we came across Adventure Paws. From the very first minute of our meeting - I knew Emma was the person to walk our lovely Louie. Louie had his first walk with the gang in May, and he’s now more sociable, confident and he waits on her at the window. He loves her, and his time on his walks. We are so happy that he’s happy.
Due to a return to the office and looking for local dog walkers we came across Adventures Paws. From the first meeting with Emma, she totally put my mind at ease. My dog was really nervous as he’d suffered a bad back injury. Rocky is so much more confident when meeting other dogs and people, he’s totally changed for the better and feels like his old, happy self again! After his walks he is so chilled and clearly had the best time, which I also get to see on the Instagram videos. Emma and Adventure Paws has been the best thing for our dog in the longest time!
Emma has walked our boy Charlie for several years now and there is no one else we would trust with our pooch. She is professional and so friendly. She provides fantastic care and loves him as if he were her own dog. Charlie waits at the door for her every morning and you can see his excitement whenever she picks him up. I would highly recommend Emma to any dog owner who wants a reliable, trustworthy dog Walker who provides the highest quality of care.
My dog Holly loves her walks with Emma and gets really excited when she sees her van outside the house. After her walk Holly is tired but happy. Emma is kind and caring and totally dog centred. She is reliable and trustworthy. Keep up the good work Emma!
Emma is an absolute star! Friendly, easy going and absolutely great with our dogs who range in age from 8 weeks old to nearly 17 years. Our 6 years old Schnauser is out with Emma and he has an absolute ball, and comes home happy and worn out from his stimulating energetic walks. I can totally recommend Adventure Paws!!
Emma (Adventure paws) has been our dog walker for the last 2 years. She is so accommodating to our ever changing plans and our boy Ollie absolutely loves her to bits. We are so lucky to have found her when we were looking for a dog walker and can’t recommend her enough! She also takes awesome pictures on her walks!
can not recommend adventure paws enough, my two boys where anxious and timid, now thanks to love, patience and adventures, i have two very happy and confident boys. Emma is always on time, great to get along with, always going an extra mile to give the boys new adventures 😀 …
Brilliant doggy day care service. Christine always puts your dogs needs first and is caring and kind. Our wee dog loves going and has the best time on his walks and being with other furry friends. Highly recommend Scottish Dog Walkers. 5 star review!! 😍
I have no hesitation in recommending Christine. She has looked after my dog from puppy to the old senior dog he is now. Riley loves Christine and is always waiting at the door for her pick ups. She is reliable and trustworthy and I know Riley is in good, safe hands when he is with her.
Christine is a trustworthy and extremely reliable lady. Our dog absolutely adores her. Christine keeps me up to date on his progress, and sometimes sends photos of their walks. She keeps him calm, as he is still a puppy. She offers sound advice if I have puppy questions. I would highly recommend Christine.
Christine has walked our dogs for a few years now and very happy to recommend! Both dogs absolutely love her and get so excited when she arrives. She's dependable and will help out wherever she can for unexpected doggie care is needed. We'd be lost without her!
Lucy has walked and home boarded My dog Lucy for 11 years. She is reliable, honest and looks after my dog extremely well whilst she has her in her care. Very reasonable when needing extra walks and understanding when the dogs are unwell. Dogs health are Christine’s priority! Would not use anyone else!!
Christine has checked on and walked my boys since they were pups. They go absolutely wild when they see her, it's clear that they adore her. One of my boys was paralysed and had back surgery and a long recovery a few years ago, Christine was fabulous throughout the whole recovery, changing our walks to home visits when he couldn't walk, and then back to walks when he had recovered well - always keeping me updated on how he was getting on. I was (and still am) so lucky to have someone I could trust. Flexible, friendly and reliable, can highly recommend
Christine has looked after our dog Alfie and last dog Jenny. She has always looked after them brilliantly and they both adored her. She has gone the extra mile on numerous occasions including going and rescuing a terrified Jenny from our house during a thunderstorm and comforting her till we got home. Both dogs were rescued and being Jack Russells they are on the stubborn side, but Christine has taken the time to get to know them so well, kept them in line and won them over- no mean feat! Simply could not ask for a better service.
I moved into the same area as Christine almost 3 years ago and she has looked after my bulldog Luna when I am working since then. Christine is by far Luna’s favourite person in the world and you you can tell she is well cared for and Christine loves Luna back just as much! As well as an awesome dog walker I have also found a friend in Christine with our shared love of bulldogs. Highly recommend 💚
Christine has been walking and dog sitting Dougal since we moved to Musselburgh over a year ago. Dougal hit it off with Christine from day one and loves his walks. She goes absolutely above and beyond and has saved me at the last minute on a number of occasions due to last minute work changes. I was nervous leaving Dougal over night for the first time but needn't have been he is in the best of hands. Thank you Christine!
Christine is a superb dog walker and my dog is exceptionally well looked after by her. The comments in this review from Paul and Yvonne should be ignored, they are obviously a couple of sad people who spend their time hanging about watching hard working people go about their business. Interesting that they regularly provide reviews on the same businesses, I have a suspicion they are actually the same person. Christine does a wonderful job looking after her dogs, Paul and Yvonne are clearly a couple of very strange people. The other consistent 5 star reviews tell you all you need to know about Scottish Dog Walkers. :)
