Ready to travel. Work from home or holidays.
All I can say is WOW! Helen was totally amazing from start to finish and I would certainly call her a cat whisperer. Our cat Coco can be extremely timid and Helen was aware of this but I think Coco had other plans once she met Helen as was happy to be around her and let her brush her and even nudged Helen with a hello. This allowed us to be on holiday with confidence. Helen and I had already discussed communication while we were away, as I did not feel I needed photos etc as trusted what Helen said. We did actually message a few times during the 14 days and Coco was always doing well. We came home to an immaculate home! I was expecting to have to clean etc on return but did not need to ( and that’s most unlike me!). Our home was so well looked after and Coco was a happy girl too, in fact I think she may have preferred Helen to have walked through the door. We will most definitely be asking Helen to come back and just have everything crossed, that when we have dates set, she can come to us again. I know Coco would be thrilled to see her again. This was our first time using the site and we are so happy we found Helen, she is cat lovers dream.

11 x 5 star reviews! The perfect team to take care of your pets and property.
Gillian has been to sit for us before and it was really wonderful to see her again ! She looked after 2 of our dogs and they loved seeing her, especially Nelly who remembered her as soon as she arrived . Pi our other dog is still quite young and so it was a relief to have someone who knows young dogs and to be so kind and patient with him , even keeping up his heel work which was very helpful as we were away for quite a while. Gillian is so brilliant with communication and when there were any problems she was fantastic at keeping us updated and sorting everything out. I was really glad she was there and most grateful. We really hope she will come again Nelly and Pi would be thrilled to see her and so would we.

Quiet, reliable animal loving person who enjoys house/pet-sitting.
Issy did a great job looking after our house and the Guinea Pigs. The house was immaculate when we returned. Unfortunately our beloved dog Karla passed away just days before Issy came but Issy still committed to the sit and all was good. Thanks Issy!

2 silver tops looking for love and affection from furry cuddly hosts .
5 stars isn’t enough! Our first experience with Housesitters and Cathy and Bill were the perfect introduction. Everything was stress free and easy. They loved and interacted with our cats as if they were their own and we enjoyed our holiday even more knowing they were in safe hands. We enjoyed the WhatsApp updates with general goings on and appreciated them dealing with the trackers which can be a bit of a pain. The house was well looked after and left immaculate. I can’t recommend Cathy and Bill enough :) We (and the cats!) will definitely welcome them back. Thank you!x 🐾🐾

Caring, friendly, adventure-loving family ready to look after your home & pets l
Communication with Monika was great from the outset. Monika & Corwin are experienced pet sitters and took care of the dogs well giving them lots of attention. Communication was helpful when Lola needed extra attention. They left the house clean & tidy. I’d welcome them back again. Thanks so much for good care of our dogs.

Responsible, mature and active couple with pet experience
Rhona spent 3 days here to take care for Joes our cat Joesy. She organized the trip really carefully and informed us immediately about everything. Thank you so much, Rhona! You’ve been our first pet-sitter and now we have a good feeling using this app!

Responsible retired couple who love animals and travel.
Pam and Mick looked after Star really well. They kept in touch with me while I was away. Sent photographs to reassure me Star as doing great. When I came back the house had been cleaned and bed linen/towels changed. Thank you Pam and Mick. Thanks for the lovely presents you left me. I’m hoping you will come back and look after Star again. Much love Debbie

We were very pleased with Alda and David- the cats settled very well . David did some jobs around the property which was extremely kind - clearing the gutters and cleaning the hot tub . Thank you for taking such good care of our pussies and for giving Willow her medication

Outdoor-loving, reliable couple, green-fingered, great with animals
Our second visit from Emily and Kevin - and just like last time would invite them back anytime! Great comms through out, navigating weather warnings and coming earlier to make sure we could get away worry free. House was immaculate with bedding / towels all washed before they left. We also had a pipe burst in the cold weather, quickly isolated and checked over and let us know exactly what was wrong. Great people and I have no hesitation is recommending them.
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!!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
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!
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
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. ⭐
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
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
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!
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!
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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!
Claire has been taking our staffie for walks for over a year now and what a transformation!! He’s socialised and loves his pack walks with his girlfriends! A lot of his improved behaviour is down to Claire! Our dog is a rescue dog so leaving him with Claire when we’re on holiday is wonderful and puts our minds at ease. We know he’s well looked after and he absolutely loves staying with her. I completely trust her. What more can I say 😘 I can’t speak highly enough about her!
Dillon loves Claire! As well as regular walks he has had numerous holidays at Little Paws, including spending three weeks with her earlier this year and he is booked again for September . He has a great time, we get photos and video clips of all his adventures. Highly recommended by us but, even more importantly by Dillon! Your dog will thank you for it😀!
Kayla has been going on walks with Claire for years and has also had sleepovers. She is so happy and excited to see claire when she comes to take her out 😊claire always take lots of pics of her adventures and takes her on brilliant walks. I cannot fault her services and highly recommend people to use her friendly services!!! …
Claire has been walking my 2 dogs for 3/4 years. My dogs love her and i wouldnt trust anyone else with them x
Claire is amazing . She has looked after our black lab for a few years now. He loves staying with her so much fun ,loads of exercise but always professional.
Tsara and Amber are a godsend! After being let down yet again by our usual cat sitter I took a chance with these girls and now I will never use anyone else! They are amazing. They called in on our 2 cats for over 2 weeks while we were away, kept us totally up to date with multiple messages and videos of the boys every single day. Their communications are excellent and their attitude is totally professional. I simply can't recommend them highly enough! Vic & Bob are looking forward to the next time ladies! 😻😻
Tsara and Amber have looked after our cats a few times now and can highly recommend. good communication, pictures of the cats, put your mind at rest and lets you enjoy your break knowing that your cats are being well looked after.
The service the girls provide is brilliant. Lexi gets so excited when they come to collect her, she comes back from her walks tired out and ready for a snooze. Lovely girls with a whole lot of love for every dog they take out. It’s an added bonus watching the walks on their Instagram story every day too.
I'm extremely picky about who can look after my cocker spaniel but from the moment I contacted caNine2five I was reassured by their professionalism, quick informative communication and general all round loveliness. They couldn't have been more patient or caring with Cosmo at the meet and greet and made me feel like I could ask a million questions if I wanted to and that would be totally fine with them. They are punctual, reliable and flexible when it comes to dog walks which has been invaluable. I initially only planned one pack walk a week as I didn't actually need him to go but it was more for him to have fun. On seeing the photos and video clips of the walk I immediately requested two walks a week and he can't get enough of them! The only issue Cosmo has is I haven't got him booked in 7 days a week but he waits at the gate every day just in case it's a pack walking day with Tsara and Amber. If I could give them 6 stars I would because they are that amazing and I feel so so lucky Cosmo has them in his life because they make him feel so special and so happy.
We started using CaNine2five last May and it was one of the best things we did for our boy. He gets so excited every time the van pulls up and we get to see what he is up to on their Instagram stories while he is out. The girls are so accommodating and have helped us out frequently. The added bonus is they take beautiful photographs on every walk. Would wholeheartedly recommend the girls.
Tsara looked after our cat while we were away for three weeks and she was just wonderful- so friendly and responsive and very professional plus always went the extra mile with pics/video every day and even watered the houseplants which was much appreciated :) Always felt reassured that our cat was being well looked after. Many thanks x
The service the girls provide is second to none - friendly, professional and brilliant. Every walk the dogs are taken on is safe and brilliant exercise for the dogs, allowing them all to socialise whilst the girls capture great pics daily of them all!
Theses girls are great! So helpful and accommodating, they always give my dog a fab walk and really look after her !
Great dog walkers. Lupin always has a great time and I love getting pictures and videos of her from the walk.
Very friendly and professional girls and took great care of my dog
This is a fabulous shop if you want excellent products for your dog. The range they have is extensive. Quality dog food and chews, toys, harnesses and leads, so much to choose from. However, it is the time that staff take with you as a customer, their knowledge and their friendliness that sets this shop apart from all others!
Best pet shop I've ever been to, all staff knowledgeable about how to behave around reactive dogs, give you space and support/aid my training sessions when I bring my girl in to train around people/dogs. My dog has made so much progress through the training sessions I've done here. I also love all my purchases made in store including training treats, clickers, dog food and toys!
Fantastic pet shop! We stopped by to get some food for our puppy, and Natalie was super helpful! She answered our MANY questions. Then, she gave us a rundown of all the different types of puppy food they had and recommended the best ones for our puppy. We were seriously impressed with how much she knew and appreciated the time she took with us. Highly recommend this place!
What a fantastic shop, with staff who know exactly what they are talking about and are able to give great advice. The staff were friendly and you can tell they love what they do. It's great to have a family run business to support where there top priority is giving the best advice for you and your pet. We will definitely be back.
Bren and her team at Pampered Pets are fantastic! My dog had been spewing randomly, wasn’t sure what was wrong with him had a vets appointment booked but I went into Pampered Pets to possibly look at getting different food for him to try. Bren came and spoke with me and could see that my dog was so happy and energetic and advised me to try a paste which would help his tummy and make his poos more solid also recommended some kibble for him to try. Fast forward a couple weeks, my dog is doing great! He is back to his normal self, he is pooing normally !! Didn’t need the vets appointment so saved me a trip! I highly recommend anyone to go here, the advice you are given is fantastic, the selection of food and treats are great! I am now putting my dog onto a herbal formula for fleas and ticks and some rabbit ears for a natural wormer as I believe so strongly on natural products for my dog. Thank you for helping me get great products for my wee boy that he LOVES!
Wonderful experience! Staff are so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend this store for anything pet related
We signed up for puppy classes when we knew we would be adopting our pup. Initially I was going to be the only one coking to classes, but after the introduction, my partner was so impressed that he asked if I could message to ask to change our availability so that he could come. We've heard some excellent testimonials from past and reoccurring customers and we're so excited to get going.
Made my first visit here in search of the right size of puppy crate after a less-successful visit to a well-known chain of pet stores where nobody knew anything. At Pampered Pets I was given person help by a knowledgeable, friendly staff member. Lovely atmosphere in shop. Will definitely be a regular customer from now on.
This is a great wee shop, has a fabulous selection of things for dogs and it's nice that the dogs are always welcome in too. They ordered something in for me and held it until I was there next which is really appreciated.
We visited pampered pets whilst visiting friends and family in inverness from a recommendation. Our puppy Sidney was not eating very well at the time. Duncan not only listened to what the issues had been he gave us great advice and food to trial. We now have a very happy puppy and will keep ordering from you. Excited for you to be online. Thank you Duncan, Tracy and all the fabulous team at PP. Diane,
Our family of four love going here. Only place we feel happy leaving our precious crew. Come home gleaming, happy and healthy. Michael and Amy offer the best care ❤
We have used other kennels in the past but i have to say these ones are superb.Our dogs are well looked after and the kennels are so homely and the owners are fab, a real family business.I can't speak highly enough about the care and welfare of our pooches whilst there.It's their country retreat, hehehe.
Absolutely stunning and blissful gem of a place. Perfect getaway for the fresh air and beautiful surrounding scenery. Soo perfect you’ll not want to leave!
Great place for your pooches holiday. Good facilities and caring owners who know dogs.
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.
Kev is excellent - he has always been reliable, flexible, and communicates clearly with us. Most importantly, our dog loves her walks with Kev. He has taken the time to get to know her, integrate her into a well-suited pack and responds to her needs. Our family enjoy catching up with the photos and videos he shares on Facebook & Instagram. We would 100% recommend Kev if you are looking for a dog walker in Inverness.
Kev is amazing with our pup Orla she absolutely loves her walks and gets super excited at even hearing his name! 🤣 Thanks kev!
Fantastic, looked after Marbles and Dot who loved their walks with Kev! Great photos and clearly all enjoying themselves.
I can't recommend Kevin highly enough! he was amazing with my rescue dog. He had so much patience with her and she trusted him fully ❤
Bobby loves his walks 😊 definitely recommend
I couldn't be happier with Walk 'n Wag service; Bridget is an absolute angel and was not only so good with my dogs, but was also extremely flexible with me to accommodate my timings. She kept me constantly updated with texts and pictures while I was away which I have truly appreciated as I always feel a bit paranoid when my dogs are not with me. Price extremely honest. I will definitely use their service again and I strongly recommend it to all my friends in the area.
Bridget is absolutely amazing with my dog. He gets excited just hearing her pull up outside, never mind when he see's her. She is reliable and always on time for his walks. Couldnt ask for someone better to take our boy out and i trust her completely leaving a key for her. She has a passion for dogs and that is very clear to see. I'd reccomend walk 'n' wag to anyone needing a dog walker / sitter. Always responsive to messages and very accommodating.
Excellent dog walking service, highly recommend! Also thanks for the lift, from Will and Jack ;)
Great service, took our four dogs out together, they loved it when they were going out with the you. Highly recommend xx
I highly recommend WilderNess Walkies. This us our 1st experience using the services of a dog walker and felt quite nervous. Lisa straight away calmed those nerves with her knowledge and patience with our Reggie. Lisa is very reliable, accommodating and provides updates on visits which gives us peace of mind.
Reliable, organised, good communicator. Shares images and videos online so I know my dog is happy and has been out. This gives me peace of mind when I am at work. He is comfortable around Lisa and she is in an elite few he offers belly rubs to so she must be doing something right!
Highly recommend Lisa, she is calm, kind and knowledgeable. Nova throughly loves her walks and it's such a peace of mind she's being taken care of while I'm away with work.
