Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
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.
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!
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!
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 overnight 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 overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Wonderful dog walking and minding services. Highly recommend.
Our rescue dog, who is excitable and mental as much as he is loveable & cuddly, loves going to Showpaws dog day care. He usually is crashed out as soon as he gets home, from a full day or walks & play time with his friends, it helps us feel completely at ease knowing he is really well looked after. Highly recommend Showpaws. Tish has a super knowledge of dogs and has often given us some useful insight into canine behaviour, which has help us as owners/dog parents get a better understanding of our fur baby.
We have been taking Rhubarb to Showpaws for the past 8 months, twice a week, and she absolutely loves spending the day there. Tish or Riaan pick her up on the days she's with them and is always excited to see them. When we pick her up at the end of the day you know she's going to sleep well that night after plenty of exercise and play with the other dogs. Highly recommend Showpaws as it puts our minds at rest that she is in safe hands and having fun.
Our dog started going to Showpaws when he was 13 weeks old. He will turn 7 next year! He loves his walks and goes bounding up to the door each morning (3-4 days) to see his ‘pack’ with a waggy tail 🙂 The love and care for dogs from Tish and Riaan is so clear to see and after a lovely woodland walk with all his friends he gets to hang out in their home and garden with the rest. I wouldn’t consider him going anywhere else and really appreciate their flexibility when our work schedule changes. Everyone always comments on how grounded and sociable our dog is; we’ve put a lot of hard work in, but Showpaws has had a huge part to play in this. Thank you Tish and Riaan, us and Mr D Love you!
Tish and Riaan are great. Our Labrador Xena loves them to bits and always has fun every time they come and taker her for her walks. I highly recommend Showpaws to all dog owners.
Frank has been going to Tish and Riaan for a number of years and he absolutely loves it. He jumps out of the car and sits at the front door every time. They really treat all the dogs like their own and I regularly pick Frank up and he’s sat on the sofa watching telly with Riaan. Thanks Tish and Riaan
Excellent dog care service...my dog is so happy in her compnay
Unfortunately I couldn't finish my order via the shop, but the personal contact over the phone was very friendly. I then placed the order by phone and within a few days my package with the products arrived. I would highly recommend this shop!
Thank you Nick. We love Yogi x
Rob has looked after our two sausage dogs lots of times when we are away on holiday and he has always been brilliant. Our dogs love going there and we go away knowing we are in good hands. Rob sends us photos and daily updates. We have been delayed by cancelled flights in the past, causing us to be hours later than planned for pick up and Rob has always been very accommodating. Highly recommended
We have been using Pets For Life for a while now they are absolutely fantastic! Ali and Tine are very knowledgeable and have given us great service even at late notice. Our dog spends all of his holidays at Pets For Life as well as daycare and we trust them implicitly, he has come on leaps and bounds since going there. Our dog loves Ali and can’t wait for the door to open when she comes to collect him. They are a very hardworking team and it’s abundantly obvious how much they care. We highly recommend them if we could give more than 5 stars we would!
Brilliant doggy day care! We always know our dogs are safe and well looked after. They have a fantastic time and we know Ali and the team treat our dogs as if they're their own! Highly recommended
Absolutely fantastic. I have total trust in Tine and Ali. Barley loves it. When he comes home he literally goes straight to sleep. It's been so good for him to socialise and learn how to behave with other dogs in a safe environment.
We've had two of our dogs with Tine and Ali over the years, right from when they were puppies, and I can't recommend them enough. They are so caring and helpful, love dogs, and have so much knowledge - I don't know what we would have done without them!
Our dog absolutely loves coming here for daycare. He’s always so excited to go in, and thoroughly worn out when he comes home! Tine and her team are brilliant. Highly recommended ⭐️
Reception team were unbelievably kind to us supporting us through the sad journey of having a much loved pet put down. Sensitive and genuine empathy can’t fault them would trust them with all my family - furry and otherwise
Super kind people who look after out dog very well, he is always looking forward to going there! The set up is great and very secure and safe for pets.
Our dog absolutely loves it here, and I couldn't recommend the team highly enough.
Best place for your dogs to go to doggie day care
Always helpful and accommodating, I just wish I was a dog
Beth was absolutely brilliant looking after our cat Merlin when we were on holiday. Beth was really professional and took in all the information she needed to keep Merlin’s routine the same. He instantly loved Beth and was giving her head bumps and coming in for strokes. Whilst we were away Beth sent pictures of him playing and having a brush, which was really reassuring and set our mind at ease. We also had a few things around the house that needed looking after while away e.g. house plants and Beth looked after those too. It was so lovely to come home and find Merlin so relaxed and everything looked after. I’ll definitely come back to Beth when we’re next away and highly recommended her. Beth genuinely cares about animals, is accommodating and highly conscientious.
We are so happy we found Beth. She listened to our needs and came to meet the dogs at home, they instantly took to her and just love it when she arrives to take them out. They have such a variety of walking routes with Beth and she sends me such wonderful pictures. Beth herself is fantastic and knows what the dogs like and need. I highly recommend her.
I can always trust Beth to look after my cat Waldo when I go on holiday. She is trustworthy, reliable and communicative. Sends me photos and updates and is so lovely - I'm very lucky to have found her!
Beth has been taking my hound for walks for many months now since I first got her from a young age. Beth has not only walked her but helped me train her to be better on the lead, as well as many other things going above and beyond what’s expected from a dog Walker. She’s always polite and informative giving me updates on every single walk she goes on, she’s developed quite a bond with Pop and knows her favourite places. She evens wears a body cam to take videos to send me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Beth to anyone seeking dog Walker services.
I use Beth's Pooches & Paws every week to walk my dog Brody while I'm working. Brody ADORES Beth and Simon and you can tell that they love him too. Their service is extremely reliable and I'm happy for them to have a key to my home and use as needed. I'll definitely be using their house-sitting service when lockdown ends. Also, it's very reassuring that Beth used to work in a vets, and you can tell that she takes the responsibility of your pet very seriously. In summary, I cannot fault Beth's Pooches and Paws and feel very lucky to have found them.
Beth has been walking our mini dachshund for about six months now and we couldn't be happier. Our dog is very anxious of other dogs and has a few behavioural needs and Beth has always listened and taken on board exactly how Buzz needs to be walked. It's also very rare to find someone who will do one-to-one on-lead walks and it's exactly what we need! She has also always listened very carefully about his medical needs and is very attentive to all of Buzz's requirements. She has also stayed at our house to look after both the dog and the cat and looked after both wonderfully. She is very good at communicating and always very professional. We hope to use Beth for our animals for a long time to come!
Beth is outstanding. She cares for my dog as he's her own. She's friendly and so very kind and considerate. We can't say her name indoors as my dog goes nuts with excitement that she has arrived for him. We use the code word B.E.T.H.!
I would highly recommend Beth’s Pooches and Paws. Beth is reliable, professional and enthusiastic. She clearly loves the animals she cares for and my dog absolutely loves walking with her.
Very dedicated and caring dog walker
It has taken us 3 years to feel comfortable with leaving Dexter with someone outside of the family. Having decided we wanted a holiday abroad this year, we took the plunge with Julie and Malcolm and we’re so, so glad we did. After two separate overnight stays before we went away, we knew that Dexter would be in very capable hands and would be very happy. It is clear that Julie and Malcolm love dogs and Dexter was made to feel like one of their own. While we were on holiday, Julie sent us regular texts, photos, videos and reports, which was fantastic as it gave us such peace of mind. We could also see how much Dexter was enjoying his holiday - playing with his new friends, eating delicious treats, having lots of cuddles and relaxing on the garden day bed! We will always use Julie and Malcolm to board Dexter in future, for as long as they will have him, because we can see how much love and care is lavished on him. In return, he also loves Julie, Malcolm and the dogs and, if they are in the park at the same time as us now, he will run from the other side of the field to see them! All in all, we don’t think we could find anywhere better to board Dexter. It is such a relief to know he has somewhere to stay where he is so well looked after and where he is so happy. Thank you to Julie, Malcolm and all the dogs for welcoming Dexter into your home and making him one of the family when he comes to stay!
My dog Oli has been home boarded a few times a year for the last ten years. I have to say Julie had been exceptional in her care for him. We received many photos and reports of his holidays for the two weeks we were away. She really is a very caring and loving person and went the extra mile looking after him. I really would not leave him with any one else just wish she had been doing this a few years ago as we have had some bad experiences in the past . He has come home clean and exhausted from all his lovely walks and playtime with Julie’s dogs can’t thank her enough. I know from now on I won’t worry about him while I’m on holiday he will be having a great time
I had never put Rocco into boarding before and I was quite apprehensive about how he would be. I met Julie in her home with Malcolm and their own dogs, a meet and greet, Julie did it with great care and attention to not overwhelm Rocco. It was agreed then on Rocco's reaction to do a two night trial to see how this would go. This was free of charge. Julie updated me with an emailed report, what's app messages and pictures, fantastic. Rocco had great fun and it was set for him to stay for 12 nights. Would I recommend Julie, 100%, would I use her services again, 100% She sent lovely videos and pictures throughout his stay. He truly had a fab holiday himself. So well looked after and cared for I don't think he wanted to leave.
I’m so happy that my friend recommended Parsley and Pals to us! Julie and Malcolm took such good care of our dog Albie and I could tell they genuinely loved him. On my first visit, it was evident that Julie has put so much hard work, love and care into Parsley and Pals, and she absolutely adores her dogs as does Malcolm. I didn’t hesitate in booking Albie in with them for a holiday and I felt at ease whilst I was away as I knew he was treated like a king. Julie sends regular updates which is lovely. I can’t recommend Parsley and Pals enough. I feel like myself and Albie struck gold finding them and we have more visits booked in. Thank you so much 😊
I was so pleased to have found Julie with her Parsley and Pals boarding! We have a 5 year old cocker spaniel Sam, who boarded this week, and he had an amazing time!! Sam was treated liked royalty with healthy snacks, lots of playing, cuddles and space if he needed it. It was really reassuring to know Sam was in safe hands while we had a lovely holiday, and so did he! Julie kept me up to date with his activities and sent photos and videos, which were lovely to see. We are definately booking again next year! 100% recommend this service for your precious doggies. I have one happy, tired boy.
Wow! What a great experience we, and our two dogs had with their stay. Photos sent through and a great and thorough report of each day. Walks and lots of cuddles were had. Resident dogs all lovely and our dogs were very happy and relaxed there. Definitely would recommend and will be using again. Thank you Julie (and Malcolm)
Our dog Spud has gone to stay with Julie a few times and we couldn't be happier! Our baby boy has the best time and is very well looked after. It is clear how much they care the their own dogs as well as guests! It's such a piece of mind knowing he is comfortable, safe and happy. Spud will be returning in the future for sure!
Liberty had a great time at parsley and pals, I felt 100% at ease leaving her with this fabulous dog boarding organisation, the dogs are definitely in charge! Julie sent regular photos of Liberty and she looked like she had a nice time, lots of room, good garden, spoiled rotten! Will definitely using again🐶 …
We are so fortunate to have discovered Julie and Malcolm, such lovely genuine people who literally care for our dog Stanley as if he is their own dog. Stanley is so comfortable in their company and he has also made some new dog pals with the resident dogs. Highly knowledgeable and professional in how they look after Stanley and it is great for us knowing we can leave Stanley in their care fully confident that he will have a great time. We particularly love the updates ( emails and videos ) that Julie sends which gives us a great insight into what Stanley is doing and he has grown in confidence whilst with Julie and Malcolm. We would highly recommend Julie and Malcolm.
Julie and Malcolm are very nice people to get along with and are very professional in every way. Ava has just stayed with them for 2 weeks, and on our return from our holiday we could see that Ava was well looked after and was relax around their own dogs. Julie kept us informed throughout our holiday and sent us a daily report. We will have no hesitation to leave Ava during our next holiday and holidays in the future. Thank you both for looking after Ava My overall rating would as highest it could be.
Paws and Claws are amazing! They have my naughty beagle 3 days a week and he adores going with them. No only does he get spoilt rotten with a load of love, attention and games they also do enrichment activities with regular walks. We get loads of photo updates of him playing with his doggy friends. They are so reliable and have such a superb team. Alfie has actually become a lot calmer at home and better around other dogs and people. Thank you so much for looking after my cheeky monster. I cannot recommend Paws and Claws enough!
Our Springerpoo (3) has been going to Paws and Claws one day a week for 2 years. She is always over the top excited to go in the van that collects her. She seems to love being with the caring staff & being with the other dogs. Shattered when she comes home!! Highly recommend P&C's!!!
Our puppy, Pepper, loves it at paws and claws. You may ask how I know? Well, when we have bumped into Julia or Octavia outside of doggy day care, it is like pepper has met a pop star! She literally lets out a bit of wee with excitement. Which is highest level of excitement in Peppers world. They also been amazing with helping us out with the odd extra day (at the last minute) and advice for us, as we have never had a dog before.
The team at Paws and Claws have been hugely supportive with Bella. The health and safety of the doggies is always a primary concern along with loads of fun. Bella is soooo excited when she hears the van pull up, it makes me a tad jealous!
Alfie adores Paws&Claws he goes once a week and knows exactly when that day comes around he looks out the window waiting for his lift to play day !! where he has so much fun and care and a few treats , he comes home totally exhausted
