How it works?
Emma
Providing Pet Sitting in the Melrose, United Kingdom
Sunny and reliable sitter seeks new four legged friends.
Emma took excellent care of our dog and home while we were away. She communicated well in the lead up and during her stay, sending reassuring updates and lovely photos. Emma was flexible around arrival and departure time which was very much appreciated as we were travelling with a young baby. As soon as Emma entered our house she was fussing our dog and putting her at ease which was lovely to see. Emma clearly has a love of animals and we returned home to a very happy and relaxed dog. We highly recommend Emma as a Zeewoi.
Gillian
Providing Pet Sitting in the Melrose, United Kingdom
Mature, reliable, responsible, committed animal lover
Gillian was wonderful. Communication was great before, during and after sit. She sent photos of Luna with cute wee updates, I could tell Luna was very fond of her & they connected quickly. Gillian was very friendly & kind. The house was spotless on our return. I have already asked her back on a repeat sit. Five star sitter 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Karen
Providing Pet Sitting in the Melrose, United Kingdom
Vet Nurse; caring, reliable and super tidy
This is Karen’s third visit. Robin loves her and she looks after her beautifully. I never worry about her care whilst I’m away. Karen is so considerate, the perfect guest and goes above and beyond to be accommodating. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Anna
Providing Pet Sitting in the Melrose, United Kingdom
Pet/Garden/Ranch sitter currently in USA Nonsmoker. Vaccinated x 3
Anna’s honestly incredible. If you’re ever lucky enough to have her come to stay with your pets you can rest easy knowing your home and love ones are in her care.
Lorna
Providing Pet Sitting in the Melrose, United Kingdom
Experienced, reliable and friendly Dog Walker/Pet Sitter
As one will see from previous reviews we think Lorna and Ross are fantastic! When they are house sitting we leave in the relaxed knowledge that everything is in great hands. Sure enough we have returned yet again to find everything spick and span and the dogs in great fettle and very relaxed. Very happy to highly recommend them!
Dylan
Providing Pet Sitting in the Melrose, United Kingdom
Animal loving couple looking 2 spend as much time with furry friends as possible
Thank you Dylan for your sit last week. You were very easy to communicate with, while being self sufficient and making sure Spyro felt looked after. We came home to a very chilled fella which I know means he's had a good weekend so thank you again!
Bogdan
Providing Pet Sitting in the Melrose, United Kingdom
Experienced and loving. Taking genuine care of your home, pets & plants!
Bogdan took care of our cats and our house for the second time. Communication was easy and we could set up everything very quickly as Bogdan already knew the house and the cats. The cats still seemed to remember him from 2 years before and they were quite trustful from the beginning. During our vacation he gave us regular updates with nice pictures of the cats. We were always reassured that the cats were fine and everything was in order at home. We came back to find two relaxed cats and a spotlessly clean house. We would not hesitate to recommend Bogdan as a sitter.
Rose
Providing Pet Sitting in the Melrose, United Kingdom
Trustworthy and experienced couple. Fully Covid-19 vaccinated.
Rose & Michael have a tremendous back catalogue of great reviews: the reason is simple. They are truly fantastic house sitters! Thank you both for looking after Finn and Arthur so well. From the initial contact, through our video chats, our WhatsApp contacts prior to the sit, our 24 hr handover and then during the sit itself when for me the contact and updates from home were just right, Rose & Michael fully met and exceeded my expectations. They are caring, thoughtful and kind people. I travelled with full confidence Finn would be having a great time too - and so it proved. To top off the sit, I have returned to a sparkling house and two very happy pets. Thank you both again and do come back anytime!
Marianne
Providing Pet Sitting in the Melrose, United Kingdom
Cat/bird/rabbit lover
Marianne has kindly sat for us & iggy a number of times which says it all. She’s super flexible & easy going. Iggy has a better brushed coat when we come back than when we went away! Would definitely recommend Marianne.
Carey
Providing Pet Sitting in the Melrose, United Kingdom
Happy Sitter
Carey looked after our dogs for 4nights and the dogs were happy on our return.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Janie
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Karen
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Francisco
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
KOLBY
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Elizabeth
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.
Monica
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Kaori
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Julie
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.

Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .

We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.

Galashiels Doggy Day Care
Recent Reviews:
Fabulous fun for our big energetic puppy who comes home every evening after totally played out and blissfully exhausted. Everyone I have spoken to has been lovely and obviously very considerate of ALL the dogs regardless of size and breed 😁
Never thought our 3 year old GSD would ever be able to socialise with other dogs after being reactive and by himself most of the time, but he's been loving his first week at day care and Leonie has been keeping me up to date with his progress every day. I know he's getting well looked after and it's great to see him making some new friends and enjoying his days.
What can I say that hasn't been said before. This place is the Mutts Nuts. Hamish loves it and would like to go everyday if he could. 😂 Get your dog in here you won't regret it. 👍🐕🐕
When I first got my puppy I was concerned about her social skills during the pandemic and if it was going to have an effect on her behaviour! Thansk to doggy day care my puppy Sansa is a social butterfly! I feel confident to leave my pup in safe hands! Staff are full of knowledge and have really helped me become a new dog dad. :) Thanks to everyone at Doggy Day Care! When walking and my dog sees another dog, it's a friendly interaction and a moving on process which wasn't before doggy day care :) Socialising my pup was the best thing ever!
Think of a doggy heaven and this is gala doggy day care! Amazing facility, incredibly caring and knowledgeable staff. Your dog will thank you!
My little lab pup attended recently and the people at doggy day care are just amazing. I could tell from when I picked my puppy up that he had the best time. The set up and areas for the dogs are just amazing you can tell from the moment you drop your dog off that he/she will be well looked after. 100% would recommend.
Our dog loves Galashiels Doggy Day Care - always happy to go in with his tail wagging. Professional experienced staff
Absolutely wonderful place - our dog loves attending, and is always so happy on the photos they provide! Dogs are always treated with utmost care, they always are happy to attend and I always see my pup get very excited when I mention that she's going to the Galashiels Doggy Day Care. Cannot recommend this place nearly enough!
Pippin started at GDDC when she was about 6 months old. Leonie and her staff are fab with their doggies and introduced Pippin slowly to the rest of the 'gang'. Being at GDDC has really helped Pippins socialisation and she LOVES going there. Great to have the option of a half or full day and great to know that Pippin is loved just as much at GDDC (despite stealing everyone's hats in the winter) as she is at home.
Our dog Poppy has been going to the day care since she was 13 weeks old and it has had such a positive impact on her. It has massively improved her confidence with other people and other dogs while also reinforcing her obedience training. The wonderful people at daycare have always gone above and beyond to help us out and are committed to the dogs.
My Pet Nanny
Recent Reviews:
Naomi's service has been a godsend to us after my husband suffered a stroke earlier this year. It has been a great help to know our dogs are looked after and walked. The dogs love going to the doggy day care 3 times a week .
We used Naomi when we visited Scotland for a few days and had our dog with us. He was only there a few hours but we could tell he was happy and had been busy has he slept all the way back!
Jennie's K9 Crew
Recent Reviews:
Jennie is a fantastic dog walker. She came to meet my nervous cocker spaniel at home beforehand and straight away we knew she was going to be a good fit. She has been patient with my dog while he settled in slowly to the walks and continues to be kind and compassionate when he doesn’t want to leave his bed. The walks are safe and enjoyable for the dogs which is evident through her daily video updates. Despite the horrible wet weather, Dougal is always clean and dry when he returns home. I would highly recommend Jennie to all dog owners.
Amazing new business. My dog can be very cautious with new people but she just loves Jennie . This has been a god send to us for when we are stuck during the week. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I can highly recommend Jennie’s K9 Crew. Jennie is friendly, knowledgeable and reliable. Our dog loves going out for walks with her.
Arthurshiel Kennels
Recent Reviews:
Such a lovely lady, who clearly loves dogs. We had to attend a funeral in Galashiels at short notice and she kindly agreed to look after our dog while we were there. It’s not often you find such generous hearted people. She is a gem and I would highly recommend Arthurshiel Kennrls.
We discovered this little gem of a place. Leaving my little 6 month old furbaby for the 1st time I was extremely worried she may fret or not eat but from day 1 Elaine put me at ease & kept me updated with messages and made my little Minnie part of the family showing her lots of love, attention & care. Elaine is such a lovely lady & it’s clear to see she loves her animals infact Minnie was reluctant to leave & tried to go back into her kennel. She’s came out happy & healthy & a little chubbier due to her gravy bone treats. I highly recommend & will be booking again for our next holiday. Thank you so much Elaine I felt like I left her with a family member.
Had a great time with the kittens and looking at the cats. The staff were very helpful when asking any questions
Elaine is without doubt the best place to leave our dogs. They absolutely love to see her and dropping them off I know they are in safe hands, so no longer spend our holidays worrying about them as they've been coming for 5 years now. Darcey and Dakota always remember Elaine and maybe even sulk on coming home as she is so lovely!
Perfect place to leave my GSD, they know the breed and my boy is very well looked after. Totally recommend Arthurshiel if you want a professional kennel to look after your best friend.
Lovely staff and all the animals are really well looked after and loved. Came away with a lovely cat called Cheeky, she's beautiful x
Have used this place for several years now. Adequately priced. The dog seems to be well looked after. Will use again.
Elaine is a gem! My dogs were well looked after, so much so they were happy to go back! 😊 …
Having lost our 18year old cat and unsure whether to replace her with another moggie, we are being allowed to visit for cat cuddles anytime till a new fur baby comes into our lives!
My dog is enjoying another stay there while I'm on holiday, always well looked after.
Christine's Cat Care, Boarding Cattery
Recent Reviews:
Christine has looked after our cat twice now; once for a couple of days when we moved home last year, then more recently for a week when we were on holiday. She is so thoughtful towards her guests and the posts about their antics are welcome to put your mind at ease. Highly recommend.
Christine always looks after our two cats with first class care and gives updates and photos whenever asked. Would highly recommend.
An absolutely fabulous place to leave your cats when you go on holiday. Christine cares for your pets as if they were her own. From regular cuddles and attention to an actual weigh in weekly, nothing is too much. I was most impressed by the 24/7 CVTV coverage in all the pens.
Christine provides a wonderful service to both cats and humans alike. She is kind and attentive - my cat almost didn't want to come home! The cattery chalets themselves are spacious, solidly constructed and provide everything even a fussy feline could want.
Cannot recommend Christine's Cat Care highly enough! Christine and Ben are just great, providing excellent care and attention, along with fantastic facilities! With our boy being nearly 12, very timid and of course, spoilt, we were worried how he’d settle but absolutely no concerns there as he was a very happy boy for his stay.
Christine’s Cat Care is amazing, first time I’ve ever put my wee cat into boarding, she was booked in for 4 days and we received daily, often twice daily updates, with photos of how she was settling in. Definitely recommend and already booked in for a further week and fortnight later in the year, without having to worry about how our young wee cat is going to be looked after. Thank you so so much Christine.
Great little cattery. Hoffy was well cared for and I enjoyed seeing him pop up on the Facebook page!
Booked cats in for a future holiday.
Regular updates, lovely person, won’t hesitate to use again
Langside Boarding Kennels
Recent Reviews:
Would definitely board here again having 3 border collies 2 boys and a girl they definetly had a ball the 2boys had a bit of discrepancy which was sorted right away they definitely know how to handle dogs thanks Shona and Stephen and the rest of the staff
The times they offer for both daycare and boarding are not suitable to many people with actual lives. The man was rude down the phone as I didn't understand why I couldn't have my dog boarded for more than 4 hours over the weekend. This left us pretty stuck with care. Can't understand why they have business as their attitude towards potential customers and unusual open times makes no sense. I've seen many boarders and day cares over the years and this is the strangest one yet. Unhelpful and misleading in many ways. Don't take my advice...ring and work it out for yourselves.
Amazing staff, great location and brilliant price. Doyle is always happy and well looked after here. Happy to have found somewhere decent after the hell we went through elsewhere 10/10
Had my boxer in for the weekend with Stephen and his staff, he had an absolute ball and was so well looked after. Would highly recommend using these kennels for your fur babies. ⭐️
I would like to thank all the staff for looking after our wee boy Max. We have never used kennels before and to be honest we were a little apprehensive, but after picking him up and getting him home he seems fine.Still as mad as ever and no change in behaviour at all. We as a family were impressed that the kennels made sure Max was up to date with his vaccinations. Thanks again
It was a very bad experience. The guy was very impolite and rude. The prices weren’t what they were on the website page. It’s impossible to collect your dog on a Sunday. It means that you need to take an extra day off just to collect your dog. In conclusion, I don’t recommend leaving your dogs there.
More than happy to have my ageing pooch here. Good, kind people. I put 4 stars as I've used these kennels only four times so not that experienced.
My little pooch seemed to have a good time there and more importantly he liked the people if not the other dogs
Perhaps might have lost half a star thanks to confusion over our booking bit but otherwise seemed well set up.
Nice Friendly people
