Transatlantic Lovers of Furry Friends!
Matt and Jo were great sitters. Pumpkin was v well looked after and had lots of fuss and attention while we were away. They're very experienced and it shows - they agreed with us what we did and didn't want and need and made sure we had updates and news. The house was clean and tidy and ready for us when we got back. We'd welcome them back any time - highly recommended. A big thank you to you both!!

Reliable, calm, caring, non-smoking, retired couple with a great love of dogs.
Shannon, Colin and Bella came for a 2nd sit for our boys and it's lovely to have them. Once again, we came home to very happy and chilled dogs, a lovely tidy house and a delicious home made curry from Colin. We love having them as feel totally relaxed being away, knowing Peanut and Merlin are having their own lovely holiday with days out, lots of cuddles and play time with Bella. Look forward to having them visit again soon.

Responsible, reliable, and professional female who loves animals and travel!
Our cats probably never had a better slave on hand. Dianna kept in touch daily, with photos proving that very clearly. So we had peace of mind throughout our vacation and came back to a clean apartment and happy cats. I’d invite Dianna back anytime!

We're responsible, kind, pet lovers who'd love to care for your pets and home.
This was always going to be a difficult sit looking after 2 very mischievous 5 month old kittens but we had a really good video call with Viv so we were confident that everything would be fine. Then on the day that Viv & Graham arrived one of the kittens got sick and had to go into hospital for 2 nights meaning we had to cancel our departure. Viv & Graham very totally calm about this and just checked themselves into an Airbnb for a couple of nights. They were due to come back to our house after that as we were leaving early in the morning on newly booked flights and then our water main exploded leaving us with no water. Once again this was no problem to Viv & Graham and they found themselves somewhere to stay for another night. We finally got away 4 days late and from that moment on everything was plain sailing. Viv sent us photos and videos of the kittens every day, as we had requested. Graham fixed a big sunshade that had fallen down and the cats got lots of love and attention. We came back to happy, healthy cats, a spotlessly clean house and a delicious traybake. We would happily have Viv & Graham back to sit for us again and highly recommend them to anyone else.

Friendly, responsible, non-smoking & caring animal lover seeking pets to pamper!
Eve and Marcus gave us an excellent first experience of zeewoi. Before the sit, they were helpful in telling us what was useful for them to know. Whilst we were away, they looked after the cats and house really well. Eve’s updates were reassuring. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you both!

Fit, retired couple with varied pet sitting experience
Sandra & Rick are fantastic pet sitters! They looked after Archie our ginger Tom for a week and he had the best of times. Their communication before, during and after the stay is exceptional leaving us relaxed to enjoy our hols. The house was spotless on our return and we (and Archie) will definitely invite them back. Couldn’t be happier!!

Time for a relaxing break away from home?
Selim has been a regular house sitter for us and we are always thrilled when he can sit for us. The animals love him and we know we are leaving them and the house in safe hands. Highly recommend and wish he could sit for us every time!

Trustworthy reliable, non-smoking animal loving couple
Hilary and Sarah are fantastic house and pet sitters and just lovely people that we feel fortunate to have met. From the outset our communication was excellent. We were lucky enough to be able to spend some time with them before leaving and it was a pleasure to get to know them a little. They easily and quickly took on board the routine for the animals and house and we left feeling completely assured. They looked after the house, garden and our bunch with such care and we know that everyone of them had equal time and love given to them. The house was spotless when we returned and they even left us some lovely food. We would have no hesitation in recommending them for any sit and we hope that they will come back again for us in the future. They arrived as sitters but left as friends. Thank you both for looking after P, P, B and J! They loved having you come and stay! x
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!!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
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.
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!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their 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 them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were 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 Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make 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 of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. 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. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
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.
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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!
Thank you for taking great care of our cats last minute whilst we were away. Both cats were very happy when we returned. Will definitely choose Sophie’s Petcare in the future.
I was delayed by a day in Florence because of an accident but I texted Sophie’s and Adam responded immediately. They stepped up like troupers and continued to feed my cat without drama or fuss. In a world of ‘don’t care companies’ Sophie’s are faultless. Thank you for all your care and attention and the photograph of Daisy while I was away.
We have been using Sophies Pet Care since August for our 2 dogs, Scooby and Bentley. We do a lot of the dog walking but they do 3 walks a week and both dogs love it. It has helped with them getting used to other dogs again. The team at Sophies are simply the best and nothing is too much trouble. Really impressed by what they do and how they do it - thank you!
If you are looking for an amazing pet sitting service, look no further than Sophie's Pet Care. I cannot recommend them more highly. They are extremely professional with a very good team of nannies working for them. I have used them for quite a few years now and both my dogs absolutely love going to stay with them and their nannies. It is a home from home experience for them and therefore I can relax and not have to worry about them. Sophie takes on board all their traits, likes and dislikes so they are looked after the same as I would look after them. Their on line booking in system is very user friendly and makes booking so easy. I totally recommend Sophies Pet Care and so do my dogs!!!
We have recently been having our young boy Lab (20 months) walked with Sophie's Pet Care 3 times a week. He thoroughly enjoys the forest walks and, as he is being walked with other dogs, it has really helped with his dog socialisation.
Thank you ever so much for taking such good care of our cats and guinea pig. We have been away and we're always nervous of leaving them in a cattery, but Sophie's Pet Care came twice a day, in the comfort of our fur babies own home. They kept us updated and the utility room was lovely and clean when we got home. Thank you, will definitely use again. Lots of love from Loki, Leonardo, Alfonso and Cloud :)
Other reviews seem favourable hence why we chose Sophies to look after our cat and fish while we were away. Wish we hadn't bothered now as we ended up over £600 out of pocket. Could not manage to empty a litter tray correctly just removing the solids and tops of clumped litter meaning the entire bottom layer of litter was solid. This resulted in her refusing to use the tray and peed on our bed instead. Depite trying to get it cleaned and using enzyme cleaners the mattress could not be saved and had to be replaced at a cost of over £600. The scoop was right next to the tray, no attempt was made to contact us (we were in the UK and both mobile numbers were provided). I know the response from the owners will cite "stress" but I strongly refute this - she has never peed anywhere but the tray in her 7 years even when we had new central heating replaced by several plumbers, storms, fireworks etc etc. Yes, we were given a refund for the £65 we paid out but that didn't even cover the cost of trying to save the mattress. Overall the service was a huge disappointment and an expensive lesson. Might I suggest you stick to walking dogs?
Sophie's Pet Care have been so helpful over the last couple of years since I have been using them for dog walks. They always manage to fit us in when I need help at the last minute. The best thing is that my dog absolutely loves his walks, the other dogs and all of the rangers! I couldn't be without Sophie's so THANK YOU!
We have now used Sophie's Pet Care for a couple of years...we have always experienced a friendly and professional service - never has there been anything other than this which has made us, and our Cockerpoo, very happy. Whether it be a mid-day walk whilst we're out working, or a holiday whilst we're away, the team are so friendly, trustworthy and reliable we know our dog is nothing but looked after. I wouldn't look anywhere else - thanks Adam and Sophie!
We were very much impressed with Sophie's Cats. They mix efficiency with understanding of and fondness for cats. We returned after 10 days away to find the place clean and tidy, and two well groomed and happy cats. Use this firm : You won't get better.
This is the first time I have left my dog to someone else to walk. Nicola is 5 star! I didn't really trust my Jack, Russell with other dogs when walking. But felt at ease when I saw how good he was with other dogs when in a group. Well done Nicola!! Recomend Nicola. X
George has been lucky to have been looked after by Nicola she is really great with dogs. George was quite nervous around dogs when he first went to Nicola but she was patient with him and he soon settled in and became a much more sociable dog. Thank you Nicola for helping George become more confident he loves coming.
Nicola helped us out short notice and looked after our 2 dogs whilst we were visiting the isle of wight for a week. She responded really quickly to the enquiry and was really flexible. Sent a pic shortly after dropping them off to show they had settled OK. Would happily take my dogs there again if we come back again.
We left our little dog at Happy Pooch for 3 nights recently and I’m SO glad that we did. We took our dog to meet Nicola before booking to check compatibility. At the time, we were shown where our dog would be staying and how everything operates. We filled in the paperwork there and then, which saved us a lot of time on the drop-off date, and everything was incredibly thorough and above board. We weren’t sure how our dog would cope in a different environment with other dogs around, but Nicola kept us updated throughout with videos and pictures, which was incredibly reassuring. I felt much happier knowing she was not locked up alone, crying in a kennel, and had constant care and attention as well as the ability to roam around and socialise whenever she wanted. Communication at all stages was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble for Nicola. I’m sure our dog felt like she was on holiday and we are excited to use Happy Pooch again in a few weeks!
We are so happy to have found Nicola of Happy Pooch. She has been excellent with our gorgeous boy. After an initial meet and greet then a trial walk, Nicola was able to answer our questions, she worked on recall call and socialising our dog. He is much better off the lead and loves being with other dogs. She is so welcoming and professional. We are given updates on his walks which I love. I would definitely recommend Happy Pooch. Nicola is very reliable, flexible and local which is great and clearly loves what she does.
My puppy, Ava, absolutely loves to go over and spend a day with Nicola and the other dogs. She started off a bit shy but now will happily hop through the front door and go off to play. She even had a couple of sleepovers the other weekend. Having frequent updates with videos is lovely to have throughout the day and Nicola’s home is such a great atmosphere for the dogs.
Nicola is so kind and lovely. You can tell she really loves dogs which made me feel so at ease leaving my girl in her hands. We had a wedding on the island so Nicola took care of her while we were able to enjoy. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day which reassured me our girl was okay. Thank you so much Nicola!!! Margot had a wonderful time xx
Great service. Nicola, always keeps us updated with pictures and videos of my dog. Nicola has also been excellent at introducing my dog to other other dogs, especially as she is a rescue and needed a longer introduction period.
We cant believe how lucky we feel, finding Nicola! Max immediately built a bond with her and now loves every day during the working week, going out and exploring with her and his new furry friends. We were always anxious with a new dog walker on how they would pair dogs together but with Nicola, she has done an incredible job! So blessed to have her as our dog walker and we look forward to the daily videos. Couldn't think of any better dog walker, for our boy ❤️
Nicola is brilliant with dogs, and has accommodated to our dogs need of possibly long term boarding. Drake is very happy at Nicola's and enjoys the company of other dogs. We are very satisfied that Drake is well looked after and recieve photos and videos.
Our cockapoo Charlie has stayed with Jamie 3 times now and he has such a good time. She looks after the dogs as if they are her own and is very knowledgable. Jamie has extensive grounds for the dogs to enjoy and Charlie is always looking fit, healthy and loved when he returns.
Our goldendoodle Honey loves going to stay with Jamie for her holidays and cant wait to get out of the car when we arrive . Jamie is so professional and kind to the dogs. There is so much space for Honey to run around and she gets very long walks. We would never consider leaving her anywhere else. Thank you Jamie for being there for Honey.
Jamie is fabulous, very caring, kind, knowledgeable and professional. Jamie provides a wonderful home and environment to all her guests and our cockapoo always enjoys her stays and fellow companions. She comes home very content and happy to go straight to bed after a fun filled day! We highly recommended Barkers Dog Care & Home Boarding.
Barkers Home Boarding has provided an absolutely outstanding service for our spaniel Lottie over the past three years. Lottie loves being with Jamie and always enjoys her holidays there, she seems reluctant to leave again. Jamie is outstanding and totally reliable and is a real testament to her business. If I was a dog, I would check myself in !
A truly wonderful place to board your dog in such a beautiful private setting and safe, secure surroundings. Our dogs absolutely love it, they howl with excitement as we turn into the lane leading to Barkers, they leap out of the car and don’t look back! They completely adore Jamie and her wonderful walks, she is totally professional, so kind and capable and we feel a huge relief knowing that they’re in her competent hands whilst we’re away. We’ve found nowhere else comparable and would recommend Barkers without hesitation.
Archie's been going to Barkers twice a week for day care and regular sleep over's for 5 years now and he loves it! There's not even a backward glance when we drop him off. He's grown into a sociable obedient good boy and that's largely thanks to Jamie who is amazing. We can't thank Jamie enough for giving us piece of mind and our boy such fantastic and fun adventures, and tiring him out too! We'd thoroughly recommend Jamie and Barkers - she'll look after your good boy or girl like they're her own.
Barkers is the best dog care we have ever used. Jamie has provided a place for our Springer Spaniel on numerous occasions and each visit has been extremely positive. Our springer literally bounces out of the car when we arrive and quickly settles in. The care provided is exceptional and we would highly recommend Barkers for either day or boarding. It is home away from home for dogs.
Can't recommend Barkers enough! Our cockapoo, Arlo, loves Jamie and is so excited to see her and arrive at her house. She is so lovely and fantastic with dogs and we feel very happy knowing he is being looked after so well whilst we’re away. Thanks Jamie!
Jamie provides a loving, fun & safe environment for our dog Wilbur. He loves staying with her and runs in to her without a backwards glance. It's such a relief to know that's he's living his best life while we're away.
I can’t praise Jamie highly enough. She is so reliable and has helped us out so many times. Bret and Tasha absolutely love staying with her, I think they may prefer her actually! She always keeps in contact and we love the photos she sends when we are away and she is looking after the pups for us. Thank you again Jamie!
