Responsible, caring couple: lots of animal experience and excellent references
Gill and Peter were excellent pet sitters and cared for Whiskey really well. We have come back to a clean tidy home and a happy dog. Thanks both. Would recommend.

Animal loving, experienced housesitter who is calm, practical and reliable
Mary looked after Shiva and Kali for a week and was everything we hoped for; plus, the cats loved her! She was helpful before she came, communicative while we were away and left the house (and cats) spotless for our return. Our two Burmese are demanding customers and report that they would love to see Mary again. Just purrfect; thank you Mary.

I’ll ensure that your pets and home are cared for while you’re away.
It was great to have Richard back to take care of Monti for a longer stint so we could enjoy a stress free honeymoon. As per our previous review, Richard took great care of Monti, was very communicative & left the house immaculate. Highly recommended

Semi-retired professional Great with animals Trustworthy Respectful Non-smoker
Bridget (Bee) sat for us for three weeks this summer. This was the second time she had looked after Maggie and our house, and we have asked her back again this Christmas, which I think says it all! Bee is warm, friendly, kind and considerate. Her first priority is always to make Maggie happy and feel loved, and we have come home to a very content dog, who I think is missing Bee a lot! Bee sent us photos or videos on a daily basis while we were away, telling us what she'd been up to with Maggie. She looked after our garden beautifully - we came back to a perfect lawn and a well-watered, happy garden. It was wonderful to know that she was enjoying the house and garden while we were away, and she left everything spotless. We couldn't recommend Bee enough and fingers crossed she can sit for us again! x

WE adore animals and have lots of experience in looking after properties.
We received updates about Truffle most days and the house was very clean when we came home & Truffle was very happy. Thank you Julie & Nigel!

Clean, tidy, animal-loving female, early-40s, experienced, former nomad!
We felt very happy leaving our elderly cat in the care of Cara. Lucky had been ill just before we went away and were a little concerned. Cara’s confident manner and communication was reassuring. We came home to a happy healthy cat and a very clean house. What more could you ask for. This was Cara’s second sit with us and we’d be delighted if she returned again.

Caring and considerate home-owners
This was out first house sit with Melanie. She came to visit prior to her stay, to meet the dogs and familiarise herself with the house. Melanie asked relevant questions about the dogs routine, feeding etc, so we left feeling very confident, the dogs and house were in safe hands. Although we were only away for one night, we were sent photographs of the dogs out walking on the beach and a message from Melanie reassuring us that everything was fine. When we returned home, the dogs were happy and well and the house was left incredibly clean. We hope Melanie and Robin will be available to house sit for us again. Thank you both.

Caring reliable sitter for your home & pets
Grace and Tim were the first house sitters that I’ve used. Luckily they live locally and so I was able to meet up with them before the sit. They arrived when they said they would and did a great job of looking after my dog and house. I had very regular updates and photos to keep me reassured and things were all in good order in my return. I would happily use them again and recommend to others. 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!!

Animal-loving family of 3 looking to explore the UK and meet lots of lovely pets
Thanks to Zeewoi for introducing us to the most wonderful family! Emily and Elliot are absolutely lovely, kind and communicative, and we couldn't have asked for a more suitable match for our home and Oggi. Nothing flummoxed them, and they were incredibly accommodating with our timings and house. Our baby boy clearly adored them and has welcomed them as part of the pack, and I hope they will be back for another sit if they'd like some more Oggi cuddles! They are also very experienced house and pet sitters and seem to not be phased by anything or any pet, so I think any home or pet owner could be absolutely confident leaving their homes in their care.
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'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
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.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
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.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
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
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!
Best kennels. Great facilities and lovely staff. My dog is a handful and 80lbs and this was all taken in stride.
We unfortunately no longer have a pet but only for financial reasons. A friend asked if we could recommend a kennels and we immediately thought of Animal Paradise who we used for 15 years or more. Our dog always got excited when we drove up the lane to the property because he enjoyed the care they gave him. It was our dogs second home and was always treated with love from start to finish. I can not speak highly enough of the lovely place and the lovely people at this home from home for our pets.
We’ve used Animal Paradise for our boy Vinnie for four years now. He is always delighted to see the people at kennels during drop off so we know he’s treated very well! Very happy with the service and would recommend to others. It is reassuring to know Vinnie is in good hands when we’re away.
Our dogs have come back from here what gem of a place both our dogs came home happy and bathed lovely people who owns it and more importantly the dogs are well looked after well worth the 5 stars 🙂 …
Great kennels. Our Border Terrier was very happy here. Couldn't wish for better care. Highly recommend.
Looked after our little dog while we was at a festival for the weekend . Lovely setting lovely staff .
I highly recommend Animal Paradise. I have had bad experiences with kennels before and am very hesitant, especially with our new, VERY nervous rescue puppy. He came back more relaxed and confident then he has ever been. The care was 10/10, the prices are amazingly competitive, the setting is so tranquil for them, and we are so pleased we have rebooked for later in the year. Thankyou for the care you took with our boys.
My dogs were very well cared for. I have one nervous dog and we got him home, you would have thought he had been on a week long spa break, he was extremely relaxed. Very helpful and friendly staff. Great facilities, the place is kept exceptionally clean. I’m not surprised there are so many 5 star reviews. We will definitely be back. Thank you.
Lovely people and the best care for my pet while I have been away twice. Couldn't recommend them enough. My cat loves it here and I am perfectly relaxed knowing that he is well looked after. He had fleas before he came here which was unknown and this was delt with swiftly and efficiently and I think the source has now been identified. Thank you so much from Lucy and pepper. P.s. pepper is now ok and is currently having a nap x
Great kennels and lovely staff, very relaxed leaving our puppies here whilst we watched Exeter chiefs lay the beat down on Bath!
The best dog sitters and dog walkers ever! Always making sure all dogs there are vaccinated so your pet will stay healthy too. Always thinking about how to keep the dogs busy with plays, and genuinely enjoying cuddles with them. I’d trust these guys with my life. They are so caring and professional. My dog always has so much fun there! Thanks so much Just Purrfect!
Duke always enjoys his walks , day care and boarding with Just Purrfect. He always comes home happy and tired! He loves Stevie , Chris and the rest of their team he gets excited when they collect him. Range of services on offer and affordable he doesn't go anywhere else. I highly recommend!
Such a caring and helpful business. Our dog is a rescue and can be a little nervous but he loves going to Just Purrfect. We started using them when we moved to the area and needed dog boarding while we moved. He now goes there for daycare and grooming. He is always very relaxed when we collect him and goes straight back into his usual routine. Every single member of staff that we have meet there have been incredibly friendly and reassuring. I’m so glad we found them!
The team at Just Purr-fect have been amazing with our 2½ year old rescue girl and take care to match dogs who will play well with each other and complement each others energy levels. She always comes back happy and clearly having had a great time. The team are also great at responding to any questions promptly.
The team are fantastic and you can tell they really care about the dogs. Our little boy has a brilliant time at daycare, the groups for dogs to mix are thought out, and it's a great way to get dogs comfortable and socialised. Would highly recommend
Just Purr-fect are on top when it comes to animal day care and boarding, they regularly look after our Dog and he always has a fantastic time! The staff are fun and friendly and always push to be the best they can be and nothing is ever too much to ask! I 100% say use these guys, Professional and approachable I will be using them for the foreseeable future!
An amazing service provided. Our cat was fed and played with twice a day, twice daily emails and photos. Can't praise them highly enough.
I would just like to say the the service received for Dexter, who is currently staying with me for a week, has been brilliant. Becky is very reliable, caring , respectful and professional of Dexter's wants and needs whilst she has been walking him. Thank you for your service, his owner is very relieved to know Dexter is in safe hands. Kind regards, Steph
Could not recommend this place enough, we had to come to exmouth for a funeral and at last minute they helped us out so much, can’t thank Emma and the team enough.
I cannot fault the care given to 'Freddie' my Border Terrier since spending time with 'Just Purr-fect he always had such a happy time. I highly recommend such an amazing caring team who go above and beyond.
An excellent day care and boarding provider!! Frank and Debbie at Amigo Pet services over a professional, knowledgable and friendly service where nothing has ever been too much trouble! From first meeting Frank and Debbie we instantly knew our dog would be looked after with care and love! The pictures they post show our dog having a brilliant time on her walks with her 4 legged friends and as soon as she comes home she certainly wants her bed. The pick up and drop of service they offer makes it completely hassle free and knowing she is able to go somewhere familiar if we have to board her is a real bonus. I would highly recommend Amigo pet services and will continue to send our dog for all her day care and any boarding needs. Thank you very much Frank and Debbie!
5 stars are not enough for this incredible team of people who will love and look after your dog as if they are the owners themselves. Have never been happier with a decision before regarding my dogs care. 10/10 xx
I have enjoyed a couple of years of worry free service from Frank and his team. Frank puts you and your dog at ease and gives you the confidence to trust somebody else with the care of something that is so precious to you. Frank has a wealth of experience and as a new owner I found his insight informative and very reassuring.
Frank and his team are so reliable and friendly. Trust him implicitly with our little pooch. He turns up reliably and looks after our dog very well. Great communication and a friendly smile. We would be unable to own a dog without franks help as a full time working house. It’s great to be able to have a holiday knowing that our dog is in a home from home well looked after.
I have used Amigo on and off for the last 7/8 years. I find Frank and the gang very easy to deal with & Maggie (the dog) loves her days out! Before the first time we used Amigo, Frank called up to discuss Maggie's requirements, behaviour etc. I found this very proffesional & personable. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Highly recommended.
The Amigo team have been wonderful in helping me with some lunchtime walks for Archer while I was at work. They were very professional, he clearly had a super time (the Instagram photos are worth looking at), he was out for 2-3 hours at a time and it was great for his socialisation. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys to anyone, definitely worth the money.
Not for me and my best friend. My dog wears a GPS tracker and I was able to see exactly what he was up to all day, where he was and whether he was moving. He was there for daycare 9.15-17.00, and apart from 90 minutes he spent the entire time in the van- about 6 hours!! on the hottest day of the year so far. He did go on 2 walks (40 minutes and 50 minutes) but other than that it was travelling in a van. It made me really glad I have an activity tracker on him because otherwise as an owner you would never know. I really liked Frank, but I think we had very different ideas about whether this was OK or not. I learnt a lot- and in future when organising daycare I would specifically ask how long I can expect my dog to be travelling each day.
We can’t recommend Frank and his Amigos enough! Our little dog thoroughly enjoys her visits for day care and gets plenty of exercise too. We know she couldn’t be in safer hands or or be looked after by kinder people.
Me and my dog Bongo have been using Amigo pets for a while now and they have never let us down. They are also extremely flexible and responsive and will always pick up extra if they can. Highly recommended!!
Been using for nearly a year now, Frank is a very calm influence on my dog. You can tell he really cares.
I cannot recommend Home for Hounds highly enough! I have been bringing my doggo, to their daycare for over a year now and she absolutely loves it. She used to be quite nervous around other dogs and new people, but the friendly staff have done an amazing job helping bring her out of her shell. She now struts into daycare wagging her tail, confident and ready to play. The team here goes above and beyond and they've shown incredible flexibility to accommodate my variable work schedule. It always brings a smile to my face to see the great pictures they post after walks and play sessions. Most importantly, I know my dog is safe and in good hands at Home for Hounds. Their experienced staff truly care about the dogs under their supervision. They make sure the environment supports healthy socialisation and exercise. I have 100% trust in their animal handling expertise. With outstanding service, compassionate care, and reasonable rates, Home for Hounds sets the gold standard for doggy daycares. My sassy pooch can’t wait to go back for more fun each week! Five enthusiastic stars and a big puppy paws up!
Louis absolutely loves his days at home for hounds. He jumps out of the car and runs through the door to meet all his doggy and human friends and we know he has a great day by the photos that the team take. We know that he is well loved and looked after as we often find him in the lap of someone having a cuddle when we come to pick him up. Knowing that he is so well looked after whilst we go to work puts our minds at ease. The team are incredibly kind, flexible and professional and we are so grateful for the help they provide in looking after Louis. We cannot recommend them enough. Thank you.
Five-star doggy daycare. My dog has been going regularly for the last three years and LOVES every moment. I'm pulled into Home for Hounds by my very happy and excited dog each time we go. I can wholeheartedly recommend the gang at Home for Hounds for your canine family member.
We wouldn’t want to send our Winston anywhere else! He absolutely loves going to Home for Hounds, always goes in with a waggy bum excited to see the amazing staff. He’s been going since he was around 5 months old, he’s now 2. It’s so lovely to see uploaded photos as to where he’s been on his walks and see him playing with his friends. We have the drop off service which is fab and so helpful when we’ve been working all day. We always find Winston snoozing happily in the kitchen, listening to his favourite radio shows! 5 star service, thanks so much guys! :)
The team at Homes for Hounds are lovely - genuine dog-lovers. Our dog pulls at the lead to get in there when we drop him off to see them and his fellow, furry, friends and is exhausted after a great day of walks, cuddles and fun when we pick him up at the end of the day.
Very disappointed with the couple of girls I passed today in Bellever Forest from Homes for Hounds. They had 10 or more dogs between them, all off lead, except 1, and were worrying a group of 4 ponies, chasing them around and barking at them. This is one firm I would not recommend or use for sure.
My doggy loves her days at Home for Hounds. She returns to me a happy, tired pup!
I want to thank home for hounds for everything they’ve done for Ozzy. It breaks my heart that we are moving away and Oz cannot go anymore. The difference we’ve seen in him since he’s been going is amazing, he is now great off his lead and much better around other dogs while on walks.. no more running off to jump on anyone he can see. Not only has home for hounds helped Ozzy but back in December I was due to give birth. Since having no family down in Devon to take care of Ozzy the girls couldn’t help enough. They opened up early for him and happily looked after him at short notice. I received pictures throughout the day which made me feel a lot more comfortable. I am truly saddened that Ozzy cannot go anymore but without a doubt I would recommend home for hounds to anyone who wants their babies (dogs) to be in safe hands.
My dog, Dougal, literally squeals with excitement when he arrives at Home for Hounds! I have absolute confidence in their ability to look after the dogs in their care and the dogs get lots of lovely exercise in a range of places. Dougal first went when he was only 14 weeks old and Kathy and her team were really great about adapting to his needs as a little puppy. Kathy has also been great at adapting to my slightly awkward working hours! I have nothing negative to say! Would recommend them wholeheartedly.
My cockapoo Molly has been going to Home for Hounds since she was 16 weeks old. She is my first dog and the advice Kathy and her team have given me has been invaluable. They go to a variety of places each day, beach, woods or the moor where they get an amazing run out with other lovely dogs. Molly comes back tired and content. Superb doggy day care. I can't recommend them highly enough.
So happy with our experience of using Sunny Pet Sitting! Claire looked after our indoor cats & rabbit while we were away & we received daily messages & pictures to let us know they were doing well. Normally our cats are a little stressed when we go away & it takes a while for them to settle back in to a routine once we return, but when Claire looked after them this didn't happen at all! They were very happy & seemed super chilled when we arrived home. We will definitely continue to use Sunny Pet Sitting when we go away & would recommend.
Claire looked after our tortoise, Guinea pigs, hamster and fish while we were on holiday. We couldn’t have been happier with the service she provided, including feeding them daily and cleaning out mid-week. We especially enjoyed the daily updates and photos, it gave us excellent peace of mind. Thanks again!
Claire has been walking our girl for 8 months and has always been extremely reliable. She manages our dog really well, and as a 3 year old husky who cannot come off her lead due to poor recall this is not always easy. Claire is so passionate about what she does and our dog absolutely loves her walks. We get fantastic updates at work and we love seeing her having fun. Claire is extremely professional and provides an exemplary service. We absolutely cannot recommend Claire enough!
Claire was fab looking after by bunnies for the week I was away on holiday. She kept them very clean and updated me regularly. I wouldn’t hesitate to use claire again. 🐰❤️ …
Highly recommend! Lizzie was great at communication and sending me photos of my four cats while I was away. She even administered medicine to one of my cats with no issues! Very reliable and trustworthy!
Thank you Lizzie. I was worried about leaving my Ragdolls because they need medication three times a day in their food…and they’re picky eaters 🤦🏻♀️ Lizzie was amazing! She was lovely with the boys, fed them easily, updated me with photos and texts and left the house clean and tidy to come home to. I’ll definitely use her again and again 😻😻
Claire and Lizzie from Sunny Pet Sitting were very professional from the outset but equally what comes across is they are both warm caring individual's. So we were very happy to use their services to pet sit our 5 month old JRT puppy for 4+ hours whilst we attended a family funeral. It made what was already a stressful time all that much easier knowing that our pup was in good hands whilst we paid our respects. Our puppy was well cared for and looked very contented in their company. (Although initially excited on first meeting them as puppy's tend to be!). Happy to recommend Sunny Pet Sitting services.
Claire has looked after our cats a fee times now whilst we have been away. She is great and we will continue to use Sunny Pet Sitting in the future.
Claire has been walking and looking after my King Charles for two months now and we both think she’s great! Looking forward to many more months of a super happy pup
Fantastic service and wonderful care. Claire was friendly and attentive to all my dogs needs, will definitely be using again next time I go away!
At short notice Kirstie was able to look after our two cats for one week. Dealing with Kirstie has been a pleasure. She is quick to respond to emails, sent daily updates / pictures of our cats while we were away and made an effort to get to know them. From my experience she is reliable and can trusted unlike my previous cat sitter. We will be definitely using her service again.
Kirstie walked our dog Hendrix for 2 years since he was a puppy. Starting off with house visits and moving on to walks when he was ready. She's always been reliable, on time, flexible, trustworthy and always brought him home tired. Perfect! We would definitely recommend her to anybody needing a dog walker!
We are so glad we have Kirstie to look after our cat Hamish while we are away, she takes great care of him and gives him lots of fuss. She is also great at looking after other things around the house while we're away like watering plants and putting bins out etc. We wouldn't want to be without her!
We have a cat called Sooty and live in Exeter and Kirstie has looked after Sooty while we've been away for overnight stays. Kirstie has all the qualities you'd want from a pet sitter, she is reliable, professional, trustworthy and it is clear that she is an animal lover and will care for your pet(s) as well as you would yourself. The service provided is great in terms of communication and convenience and it's so nice to get photos of your pet while you're out so you know they're happy. Kirstie will also help out with watering house plants, opening/closing curtains etc. So also offers peace of mind that your house does not look empty while you are away. Overall we would not look anywhere else for a pet sitter in Exeter. Fully recommend.
Kirstie is a wonderful person and a natural with animals. We have a sensitive greyhound called Dolly who has quite special needs - Kirstie is one of the few people we trust to look after Dolly and we feel relaxed and reassured when they are on walks or when we are away and leave Dolly with Kirstie. Dolly loves Kirstie and her family so much because she is treated so well and very much feels like she is part of their lovely family :-) I can't recommend Kirstie highly enough!
Kristie is amazing! Her prices are fair, she’s very flexible, and my cat has always received the care she needed. Defo recommend 👌 …
