CLEAN & CARING housesitters looking for furry or feathered friends :)
Libby and Adel did a fantastic job looking after our cat Kyan while we were away for 2 weeks! The flat was spotless when we came home and we had lots of cute photos and updates while we were away. They were very self-sufficient too. We felt so comfortable knowing that Libby and Adel were looking after our cat. We hope they will be able to sit for us in future! Thank you so much :)

Friendly, honest and reliable sitter
Lucie cared for my cat several times in the past and she is always so reliable and organised. Plus my cat is often sad when I go away but with her he is happy and eats normally. I can only recommend Lucie to anyone. She also takes excellent care of the apartment and the plants.

This was our first experience of using a housesitter and we couldn’t have chosen anyone better than Michael. He was very easy to get on with, reliable and kept us fully informed at every stage of the process. We appreciated him asking if we wanted updates on our pets while we were away and it was reassuring to be sent photos of our cat who clearly made friends very quickly! The house was spotlessly clean and tidy when we returned home - all in all Michael made it a very good experience for us.

Duane is the best and it’s amazing how much our typically shy cats have grown to love him. Our cats are so cute that typically people just want to eat them all up!

Experienced full-time pet sitters, mature, fit couple. 5-Star reviews :)
Helen and Greg have been great housesitters for us. They looked after our three dogs brilliantly and the house was extremely clean and tidy when we returned. Absolutely a 5 star housesit. Communication was friendly and efficient from start to finish and we felt everything was in safe hands. A huge thank you from all of us :)

Responsible, clean, professional Artist, looking for quiet time to write.
Natalie was wonderful. Left our kitty and house in a lovely state. comms were easy and received updates daily. She was kind enough to stock up on some pet food tins as we'd run out, which we appreciated greatly.

Caring, Reliable and Respectful Professionals who love pets, people and travel.
We were so pleased and grateful to have Wendy and Mike here. They are very experienced and totally reliable. Wendy sent us copious photos of our dogs who were in fine form on our return and sad to see our sitters leave! Wendy and Mike are a delightful and interesting couple and we would wholeheartedly recommend them.

trustworthy sitter and mature, retired female who loves cats and travel
Michelle’s focus was our little cat. She is so organised and excellent at identifying the needs of the cat. The cat was so well cared for and Michelle was a great companion to her. She was respectful of our home, instructions and our pet. We got daily updates and everything Michelle does is about care. To top it off we returned to an immaculate home and a delicious homemade feta and spinach pie! All round a five star.

CLIVE & GILL 2 NON SMOKERS AVAILABLE FOR HOUSESITTING. PETS VERY WELCOME!
We met with Gill and Clive prior to our trip and were very happy. They were very friendly and engaging and our dogs instantly bonded and played. Gill and Clive arrived on the day of our trip as planned and provided updates every couple of days during our trip, putting our minds at rest. Upon our return, our house was very clean and tidy and Gill had very kindly provided us with some basic essentials (bread, milk & eggs). Our dogs were happy and it was clear they had been very well cared for. We could not recommend Gill and Clive any higher to other zeewoi members.
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!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
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!
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.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
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 !
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
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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!
We can't praise Jay and his team enough. His calm and confident approach put us and our dog at ease right from his first house visit. He clearly knows his stuff and had our every confidence that he'd put our beloved dog first whilst ensuring she still respected boundaries and didn't undo all our hard work with training. Raven, our doberman stayed with Jay for a week in June and the regular updates and videos really put our mind at ease, she had as much fun on her holiday as we had on ours, we wouldn't send her any where else.
Jay and his team took excellent care of our two cats whilst we were away for 10 days. They got so much needed attention each day and we were kept updated with videos daily. Overall an excellent experience and we wouldn't hesitate to use them the next time we go away!
We would not hesitate to recommend JAWs, Paws & Claws and will certainly be booking more visits for our cat when we go away. Being professional, organised, careful, caring and speedy at recognising our cat’s ways and needs, enabled her to be so settled. Communication with video/photo updates was top class and the reassurance of this enabled us to enjoy our holiday knowing she was in such good hands! 👏
Our pooch loved her overnight stay with Jay. She’ll be going again for sure. We feel happy and secure knowing she is well looked after.
We would 100% recommend Jaws, Paws and Claws. Jay is brilliant with our doberman, we know she's in good hands when we leave her with him 🥰 …
Home from Home is offered, and is exactly the experience my dog's enjoyed, I felt confident throughout my time away, and was impressed too by the visit to my home to see the dogs in their own environment first as well.
Terrible service, lacking professionalism.
Really friendly! Lovely garden for the dogs to play in!
We have recently returned from a family holiday and although we take our dog wherever we go on this occasion we couldn't, so leaving her was not easy especially for my girls. However, Julie made this so much easier and I'm sure our dog had as much of a holiday as we did. We had regular updates and photos which was very reassuring for my children who really missed her and it was lovely to see her playingwith the other dogs. I was also very happy to leave her knowing Julie meets for a dog walk with all potential customers to make sure they are suitable. When we next have to leave our dog behind I will most definitely use Cedar House Dog Sitting 😊
We are so pleased we have found a home from home for Rocco to stay when we’re away. Knowing he is with Julie, Pat & Moss allows us to relax fully. He is welcomed the minute he arrives, he now runs in and doesn’t even look back! Julie has a great knowledge of what dogs need and love and walkies are plentiful! She also appreciates we miss him, so sends the perfect number of photos and messages - not too many, just enough. We feel very fortunate to have found Cedar House dog sitting.
Our dog Bo was welcomed into Julie and Pats home from day one! We felt he was safe and well cared for with plenty of walks. Julie kept in contact on WhatsApp with how he was doing with photos and updates. I’m so pleased you managed to help us out last minute when our usual sitters were fully booked. Thank you!
This is the first time we have left our dog Larry at a sitters and I can't recommend Julie enough to care for your dog if you are at all anxious about. She gives lots of updates whilst away which I really appreciated and treated him as if he was her was own. It's definitely a home from home experience which is what we were looking for and judging by how tired he is he has definitely had the most wonderful time.
We were a bit apprehensive about leaving Ellie, our Golden Retriever for a week as she's never really stayed with anyone she doesn't know. We found Cedar House Dog Sitting whilst searching online for someone suitable. We arranged to meet Julie for a dog walk. Cedar House is surrounded by lovely walks and woodland and Ellie seemed quite happy with Julie's dog Moss. During her stay Julie kept us updated regularly with comments and photos which really helped to put our minds at ease. She had lots of walks and some swimming too so we knew she would be happy. We'd definitely recommend Cedar House Dog Sitting to anyone else looking for somewhere to leave their dog knowing they'd be well looked after. Thanks Julie
I thoroughly recommend Cedar House Dog Boarding, Julie made our dog Monty’s stay very enjoyable with lots of lovely countryside walks and games in the garden. We met Julie and her dog Moss before we booked Monty’s place with her which was brilliant as we could see how the dogs got along and got to know Julie before our holiday. This was the first time we had left Monty as he is only two, Julie reassured us with pictures and messages of how Monty was doing which meant we could relax on holiday knowing he was having a good time too! Thank you Julie!
Ozzi had his first stay for a week. Julie and Pat really got to know Ozzi and his querky ways. We have learnt from this stay that ozzi is happy with 1 or 2 dogs but not settled with a lot of dogs. Moss has also become ozzi s pal. Thank you so much for looking after Ozzi. Definately will bring Ozzi to stay again
My dog had a brilliant time at Cedar House. He stayed for 2 weeks and I got heaps of pictures and the odd video to show how he was getting along. I will always ask Julie if she has space for him before I look anywhere else in the future. Kennels can be so noisy and solitary, it does make a difference knowing my dog has friends to play with and staying in a normal house is fabulous.
Lola stayed with Julie, Patrick and their dog Moss at Cedar House for just over 2 weeks. I can't say enough good things about about these two! Lola was so well cared for and Moss was very welcoming to Lola and a great playmate. I was put at ease during our entire holiday. Julie kept us up to date with how Lola was settling in and would send over pictures every now and then. I think Lola would have loved for our holiday to be longer so she could stay at Cedar House! We will definitely use Julie and Patrick anytime we are away.
We couldn't wish for a better "dog holiday" for our little black cockapoo "Poppy" than staying with Julie and Pat at Cedar House. Poppy has now been several times and is looked after as one of the family. She enjoys lots of walks and games with their dog Moss and when we are away they kindly send pictures of Poppy enjoying herself. Julie and Pat are clearly very experienced dog owners who offer safe and stimulating care in a lovely rural setting. Highly recommended . John and Helen.
Great place to board your dogs lovely bespoke kennels our saluki Seb has visited a couple of times and loves it Stella does a great job looking after the dogs would highly recommend !!!!
Just visited and booked for my dog to stay in May, beautifully situated and great owner
Amazing match was found for my dog while we were away in Asia. And am now about to book another pet stay . Fantastic service. You can completely relax it is extremely well run.
Am yet to use the service, however communication excellent, immediate response to email, most helpful and good advice. I contacted them because of good recommendations.
Wasn't interested in looking after our dog, after we enquired about dates they were already busy on they said they were busy and couldn't help, when asked about other dates they didn't respond to messages.
My rabbits April, Milo and Bertie have stayed with Jo several times and we have always been very happy with the service. Jo has a large set up for the rabbits with access inside and outside (inc grass) all day which suits their needs for all weathers. Value for money! Highly recommend!
Fantastic service, really good communication, the cats agree too!
Brilliant service by Jo as always, Highly recommend
Really friendly owners
Wonderful dog boarding business. So personal and attentive to our fur baby!
I have been using Steve for several years now and trust him completely with my 2 cats. I wouldn’t use anyone else! Steve has a natural affinity with animals and has spent ages getting my rescue cats to feel comfortable with him. Nothing is too much trouble. I highly recommend.
We have been using Adored Animals Hospitality for a number of years now and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Steve and his team have always provided a 5 star service when looking after both our dog Monty (who absolutely adores Steve) and our cats who are always happy when they’re visited to be fussed, fed & watered. I would highly recommend any of the services provided by Steve
Our dogs were very well looked after by Steve and Lottie while we were away. The home sitting was great and minimised disruption for the dogs. Steve is always very friendly and reliable, and we would highly recommend his services.
I can't speak highly enough of AAH, Stephen's passion for all animals is evident in his enthusiasm for offering a really great service ranging from popping in to feed your pet to arranging for his carefully vetted hosts to care for your friend if you're away. It's so reassuring to know that when you can't be there for your pet, Stephen is. Best pet care service I've found in Colchester.
Fantastic service very trustworthy friendly help me out loads . Always on time . Great valve for money peace of mind . Thanks again
Steve is a wonderful caring man, Highly recommended.
Thank you for reviewing us!
