Providing Pet Sitting in the Halkirk, United Kingdom
Semi retired couple travelling in their Motorhome with their 2 dogs.
Colin and Shirley were excellent house sitters and their dogs are beautiful and very friendly. Bailey enjoyed playing with them during their stay. They left the house extremely clean and provided lots of updates and photos whilst we were away. We would definitely recommend Colin and Shirley to anyone looking for a house sit.

Secondary school teacher with lots of pet-sitting experience.
Mary did a wonderful job of caring for my dog, two cats and home. I really appreciated Mary's flexibility ahead of the sit, when I made a request to amend the dates, and it was a pleasure being in touch with Mary both ahead of and during her sit. She took time to keep me updated and sent photos too. Wilbur unfortunately had a short-lived tummy bug during my absence, and Mary did a great job of taking excellent care of him. I returned home to a very tidy and clean home, and to happy pets. I'd love to have Mary back again for a longer sit. Highly recommended. Many thanks indeed.

We are Jim and Gill Robertson living in the Highlands of Scotland.
Jim'n'Gill were the best sitters! We communicated well, ahead of the sit, over several months. When they arrived, Jim'n'Gill were so warm and likeable, that we instantly felt we could hug them. When we went off on our family holiday, we genuinely felt confident about them, and at peace. They were kind to our kitties, and gave them lots of love. We could tell they sincerely love animals. Jim'n'Gill even brushed our kitties fur, a la massage, and arranged toys for them to play with. They also sent us pics of our kitties, looking ultra relaxed, while we were away, which we really appreciated. When we returned, our kitchen and laundry were cleaner than they were when we left, and everything was neat and tidy. We actually wish they lived in our town, coz we feel we could enjoy a thousand great conversations with them. We highly recommend Jim'n'Gill. They are the most wonderful couple. And, you can definitely trust them to care for your fur-babies.

Fun loving professional who wants pet sitting adventures all over Britain
Rachel is very kind and calm and an ideal match for our home. Our dogs took to her immediately and we felt confident leaving them in her hands. When we arrived home a week later the house was immaculate and the dogs were happy and well. Rachel is welcome back to our home anytime.
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
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!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
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!
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
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.
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!
Fabulous kennel for our greyhound Peggy. We received updates from Peggy’s stay, which was really reassuring. It was super easy to arrange drop off and pick up, and timed perfectly with our ferry back to Orkney. When we picked her up, Peggy was really relaxed and settled (not an experience we’ve not had before!) we are so pleased to find somewhere to leave Peggy when we’re on holiday. I can’t recommend Ramscraigs Boarding Kennels enough! 🥰
I was very hesitant about putting my dog into kennels as he had never been in any before, but Eileen went above and beyond (and then some!) to make sure he felt right at home and cared for. I felt relieved knowing he was staying in such kind, capable hands and Eileen kept me up to date on his adventures and how he was doing while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Ramscraigs Kennels to anyone needing kennels and I’m sure my dog can’t wait to go back on his “vacation” to Dunbeath again!
This is without a doubt the best kennel !! Both my dogs love it. One of them wanted to stay 😀 you can't get a better recommendation. They are so well cared for, with all their quirks. I would give it 10 stars. …
This is the second time my Staffy Busta has been to Ramscraigs, he is really well looked after. Dave and Eileen are so understanding of his little habits!! We really wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you for caring for him. Carolyn and Peter Hurst
Our dog Bob is super nervous so we were just trying him out for a night. Jacquie and Laurie were superb with him the asked all the right questions, and look after our boy with great care and affection. We will use them again in the future and would highly recommend the service. They also sent us an update while we were away with a photo of our boy which did cheer us up.
Took my 2 senior nervous dogs to kennels for the first time. We were all made very welcome and I immediately felt in good hands. The dogs were really well understood and cared for. Eileen got the trust of my collie who's wary of people she doesn't know! Will definitely go back.
Hello would like to thank you both for looking after skylar and storm we have always struggled to get the weight on storm are lurcher but you have helped by finding him the right diet. His coat wash shinning and u could see he had put weight on and skylar are husky you had looked after both so well your place had so much for them to do running around your field For the price was great you looked after the two like they where your own and giving them plenty of exercise and food You went well beyond what u normally get in kennels or dog sitters and thank you for getting skylar groomed So THANK YOU BOTH will always be coming up there 10/10 thack you for helping storm with getting weight on
Excellent kennels, really looked after our dog well. He came out very perky & was obviously quite happy there. We will definitely be using again.
I took my very shy rescue dog here for the weekend and they where excellent with him he settled in fine they will go over and beyond to help your loved pet feel at home even sent me a photo and a video to help settle the nerves. my dog will definitely be back now I know he gets looked after very well here highly recommended.
Wonderful care. Both dogs settled really well. I'd give 6 stars if I could
Have boarded my mastiff/dane at Highland pet care solutions on several occasions and my dog and myself have benefited from training sessions, given can't recommend them enough.
Our favorite place for our spoiled dogs to stay!
Excellent transport and assistance provided by Michael for my first ever dog! He drove from Sheffield to Canterbury, stopping off at two service stations so my dog could exercise and make some mess! The car used was very smart and comfortable.
I have had the most amazing trip to pick my puppy stray up from Zante and drive all the way back to Yorkshire. My driver/courier, Norman was fantastic. The whole process went smoothly, safely and was a trip of a lifetime. They organised every last detail to ensure the dog and myself were comfortable and well looked after. Highly recommend this fantastic company. Expensive but SO well worth it. Thank you.
I travelled with my dog from Sweden to Wales. They were very professional and organised and even remembered our names when we would call. No issues with booking etc. Were given plenty of information and contacted by the driver days before which was reassuring. He arrived in a branded van and clothes which reassured me (I am a young woman) and was very professional throughout. The van was clean and well equipped for transporting my dog and we took regular breaks around every 4 hours. Well worth the money and would definitely use c four paws again. Thanks/Diolch!
We had Milo collect from London on Sunday with two cages and a carry cage and lots of toys. Milo was perfectly happy and items were in good order. Collected on time and delivered on time. Excellent service and driver was very nice. Highly recommended for animal transport. Will definitely use again if the need arises. Good job thank you
Calagran Four Paws and my driver Will were absolutely amazing at handling our cross country transport for a long distance move. Having a rather large Staffy x Old Tyme, who had sadly had to be exempted due to her size, I was even terrified to take her on the road in anything other than proper transport. And with it being such a long way I wanted a safe long distance option also for all round safety and comfort. Our needs were catered for with the upmost care and Will was absolutely amazing with my nervousness and with my lovely girls nervy nature. I couldn't have been happier and I plan to travel with them again. I can highly recommend them.
I highly recommend this company. I just endured an incredibly stressful and long importation process into Europe and finally into the UK with my 3 med/large breed dogs. CFourPaws went above and beyond to help me logistically with things they really didn't have to and was outside of their services. Provided much needed emotional support and were empathetic to my unforeseen financial costs. Really without people like Keith and Greig, I may have crumbled under the stress of it all. BIg animal lovers, BIG hearts and can't fault them. Thanks CFourPaws x
I have been bringing my dogs here for a few years now. They are always happy to come back and I love that the kennels share photos with you of your pets. The drop-off was very useful
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. In a medical emergency you were the first kennels we found after literally 100's of phone calls with spare capacity to take Casper while his mum had an emergency operation to remove a brain tumour. The 10x photo's you sent us showing him happy & thoroughly enjoying a run in the secure field were a huge relief to his dad & a massive boost to his mum's immediate recovery.
We recently used C Four Paws to transport our dog Adi from Glasgow to Heathrow for her trip home to Canada. David was a very kind and professional driver and got us to the Kennel at Heathrow on time in spite of some unavoidable traffic delays along the way. We’re back home with Adeline safe and sound and are very grateful for having used the services of your company and David for the first leg of our trip.
An absolute lifesaver when it came to transporting me and my cats from Dublin to Somerset. There was fantastic communication the entire time during the booking process and our driver Clive was incredible! They made what was a very stressful move for me and my cats, a very easy time and I cannot thank Clive and the whole team enough.
