*Experienced Housesitters* Excellent References + Reviews. Professional Married
Melissa and Shane were the perfect cat and house sitters. Our furry Maine Coone, Flint was really well looked after whilst we were away. I received lots of updates and photos of him chilling with them. The house was left clean and tidy. They even picked some raspberries from the garden and froze them for me! I would not hesitate to recommend them to others and hope that they would like to sit for us again.

Tanya & Marc...here to help!
Tanya and Marc were great, from the moment we spoke to them on Zoom. We had to a virtual handover due to an early morning flight. They kept us up to date with cat updates, they were really understanding that Yeti didn’t want to come and say hi and made sure he was comfortable outside by putting food out for him everyday. Tali loved the extra attention and I was so happy to come home to a clean house with their sheets and towels clean. Would highly recommend them and would happily have them back.

Friendly, responsible couple who love animals and travel
Stephen and Sarah were absolutely fantastic! They sat for us for 5 weeks and looked after Maple brilliantly. Communication was fantastic with updates throughout the week with photos! The house was immaculate upon return and they even left us dinner for that evening so save us going shopping after travelling and some treats too! The love and care they showed Maple was the best and Maple was super happy and settled with them both. Thank you for everything, we would have you back in a heartbeat xxx

Sarah and Steve -respectful, considerate and kind
Sarah and Steve were just brilliant. We could not have left our pets and house in better hands. From the first FaceTime meeting to the end of the sit we felt confident and comfortable that we had chosen the right people to trust. I can highly recommend Sarah and Steve.

A Reliable, Trustworthy couple who have been awarded a Super Sitter Award by zee
Ann and Martin were super friendly, reliable and all round great house sitters! They took great care of all the animals and were obliging in throwing Pip's ball for her - a lot! Communication was great and it was really helpful to have the opportunity for a visit before we left to meet the pets and look round. The house was beautiful and clean when we got home which was lovely. We would love to have them back if they are ever travelling nearby again on their adventures! Definitely recommend them! Thanks Ann and Martin!

Trustworthy,reliable and caring couple available to look after you home pets and
Liz and John just completed a 10 day house and pet sit for us and it couldn’t have gone any better. From the initial communication we had through to pre-sit chats and updates while we were away communications were frequent and reassuring. On return our house was immaculate and the dogs all happy. Highly recommend Liz and John if you’re lucky enough to have them as sitters - 5 stars all round!

Kind, independent and travel addicted animal lover
Ebony is an amazing sitter. Her communication before arrival was excellent. From the time she arrived the cats seemed very comfortable with her. She kept me updated throughout the sit, even following up when I had a problem getting messages. My flight home was delayed and she very kindly stayed late to give the cats dinner. I arrived home to a spotless house, with even fresh sheets on the bed and all the laundry done, and most importantly super happy cats! I cannot recommend her highly enough. Anyone would be lucky to have her looking after their precious pets and home. I do hope she can sit for me again one day!

Katie was a great sitter. We booked a last minute trip and were very lucky to have Katie look after our dogs and our home. We came back to a tidy and clean home and our dogs were well looked after too.
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.
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
. 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.
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!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
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.
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
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!
Sue Kent came to meet me and Peanut before placing him. She spent more than an hour getting to know him and asking pertinent questions so that she could find the right match for him. He is always delighted to see her and enjoys his “holidays”. Sue has been really helpful to me, flexible and accommodating with my travelling needs, which can sometimes change. She sends me frequent updates as I get rather bereft when Peanut is away. I have no hesitation in recommending this branch of Digs For Dogs and Sue in particular.
So glad I found Sue and Digs for dogs! My dog is too nervous for kennels and I hadn't had a holiday for over a year due to having nowhere to put her safely (she cannot share a friends home if have dogs or cats). Digs for Dogs was the PERFECT solution! Sue spent quality time getting to know Baby, and my preferences and fears. Went through the process beautifully. Sue found an incredible host, all vetted, they adored dogs, had a big garden to play and lots of fun walking places. While away I thought she'd pine for me - but oh no! I got daily videos and photos of her having so much fun! Kissing the host, playing, generally loving life! I was 'so' relived and had nothing to worry about. Sue is remarkable at picking the best people for your dog and reassuring you. All Covid safe, checklists so I didn't forget anything and made the whole experience feel like it was a VIP bespoke service. I will absolutely use Digs for Dogs everytime now I've found them. Thank you from me and Baby Blue the Staffie xx
Daisy Drop had the best time with her hosts on her holiday from Digs for Dogs.. she had lots of attention and love which was really reassuring whilst we had our break in Ibiza ... She had a trip out on the tram, lovely long walks.. new tricks and pamper time! Thank you for looking after her x
Brilliant people who are truly passionate about dogs and also helping others. I met Tracy & Sally volunteering at Heaton Park this morning and I'm definitely going to help them promote this business.
Tracy from Riff n Ralf has been looking after my cat Archie since he was a tiny kitten, and I'm so glad that I found her! She clearly loves animals and I know that Archie is in safe and caring hands whenever I'm away. She sends regular updates and photos when she visits and she spends time with him rather than just popping by to feed him. I honestly couldn't recommend Tracy and Riff n Ralf highly enough!
Highly recommend Riff n Ralf! Tracy and Sally are passionate about pets and are great with our pup Ralph, he adores his home visits and walks. They are incredibly accommodating and reliable and we love that they go the extra mile, sending photos and updates after every visit. Ralph has loved his puppy play dates that they have organised and especially his goody bag he received at Christmas! Cannot recommend highly enough!
We feel very lucky to have found Riff and Ralf! They are just incredible and it is wonderful to see our dog Reggie having a fantastic walk and making lots of new friends. They go above and beyond and have provided us with valuable support and advice! Reggie loves his walks and we love that he is so happy! Tracey is the best! Thank you for all that you do! Highly recommend Riff and Ralf!
I cannot recommend Riff N Ralf pet care enough, they are amazing with my dog Teddy. They pay special attention to what he likes to do to ensure he has the best experience when he is out with them, he always comes home very happy and ready to nap after a busy trip out. They are real animal lovers and it is very clear that the welfare and happiness of the animal clients they have is top priority over everything else.
Sally and Tracy were brilliant with my dog Monty, when they took him for walks and spent time with him for the short period Monty needed them. They are both super friendly and run a professional dog walking service. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a pet looking after. Thanks once again.
Sally at Riff n Ralf walks my dog Archie several times a week and I couldn't trust anybody more with him. She is super reliable and walks him rain or shine, sends updates so I know what fun he's been up to, and Archie clearly loves her. Thanks Sally!
Tracy's looked after our cat during two separate holidays now and I can confidentially say she is the perfect sitter! She is super friendly and organised. She popped round before we went away to discuss the cat's food arrangements and other routines before coming back twice a day whilst we were away. On the first occasion, we'd only had our cat a couple of months when we left her with Tracy but we felt totally reassured as she was such a natural with her and kept us up-to-date with messages and photos on WhatsApp. I highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
I 1st heard of Riff N Ralf from my sister-in-law because she contacted them to look after her dog Ben while they went away &Ben was a rescue with his little problems & they had no problems with him..so I have Max a Morkie & he was getting lots of little walks but he was so lively he needed a bit more fun & boy!! Does he have fun with Sally &he's met Tracey too.. he runs free geys wet, muddy , nothing is too much trouble..they are fabulous & so caring & he recognises Sally every time she comes..he's one happy pooch.... xx
I have known Sally for many years and it was a natural and logical decision to ask her to take care of our cat, Marlin. We were away for 4 days and Sally visited twice a day, providing regular updates and photos of Marlin. It made my wife and I feel at ease knowing that Marlin was in such safe hands. Thank you, Sally, and Riff N Ralf Pet Care!
Second time Dianne has looked after my cat (2 x home visits a day) in last 8 months or so - again she was absolutely fantastic, did everything I asked for & more. Updates, photos & videos provided as promised, (house looked after too, bins put out & collected), & most importantly of course, my cat who doesn't really tend to take to people quickly (he won't go near my brother who he has met multiple times!) loved her, & I have come home from holiday to a very happy cat. Difficult to express the peace of mind I had on holiday knowing Dianne was looking after him after using a cattery in the past (nothing wrong with catteries, but my previous cat never did very well there & it was a lovely cattery - to have your pet looked after in his/her own home just reduces the stress on your pet hugely in my experience). Very reasonable rates too, if you need a pet sitter - rest assured Dianne will treat your pet like her own, & I have already booked her for my next break. Going forward I will be checking Dianne is free before I book any other holidays! Thanks so much Dianne! 🙂
We love Diane! She is amazing, we have had our rescue dog for around 6-7 weeks now, she was so patient and considerate as at first Roscoe was very unsure of strangers! He now loves his walks with Diane and I get to see his waggy tail on the camera when she comes in! She takes him on solo walks to all new places to build his confidence and works so well with our shift patterns and lifestyles! Wouldn’t want anyone else walking my Roscoe! 💙💙💙
Dids dog walking services are simply wonderful!! Dianne honestly cares about the upkeep of your dog. She is confident to handle even my crazy one year old Labradoodle, and brings her back happy and well walked ever time. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you Dianne from me and Miley.
How could we not use your service when you raised our pup from birth?! She loves her walks with you, and your commitment to her and all your animals is a credit to you. Fantastic service. Always on time, keep us informed, and keep us updated with photos and little videos. Thank you 😊👍🏻 …
If I could give more stars then I would.Diane has a special bond with my dog who always looks forward to her coming to take him on his next adventure.We are always kept up to date with photos and the route walked.Excellent service and very happy puppy and owners.Thank you for being so amazing!
Excellent my dog Bo loves Hellen 💜💜💜 …
Such a brilliant find, our three nervous dogs had a fantastic stay and we received daily updates and photos whilst we were away. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again after being let down last minute elsewhere. Also helps that the guy running the kennels is very warm and friendly. Really superb to deal with. Thank you mate.
This is the best place we have ever experienced in terms of dog care. Our German Shepherd is very reactive and difficult to manage. James is fantastic with him, has him socialising with other dogs every day (something we thought no longer possible) and gives him so much exercise, sends us photos and gives him training and brushes him, and we can see how much he adores dogs himself. It feels like we are leaving him with a family friend to look after him, rather than boarding kennels, because of how much we love our dog going there. I could not recommend this place enough, not to mention how reasonably priced it is!
James is so good at what he does. My little dog actually looks forward to staying at Hareshill. Ellie always comes back happy ,healthy and well cared for. I can't recommend James any higher. He is professional and caring and we can holiday free in the mind our little dog will be happy and safe. Well done
Brilliant! Have a GS and he can be a bit off an a**. Tike for a quick visit and was assured that the dog was just nervous and he could take him and even have him ( dog) be ok with his dog.. and he sure did it... Thank you very much and I highly recommend this kennel for big dogs. My dog is on the left...
I cannot recommend this kennels enough! Third time we've been! When we approached to drop Webster off he ran in with his tail wagging! That to me says it all! And as we all say that dogs are the best judge of character! Today when I went to pick him up , I watched him playing with his tail wagging before I let him see me! Leaving your dog in kennels is hard, but knowing they are happy where they are means you can relax! Last year unfortunately as it was last minute and unavailability i had to take him to another kennel(not gonna name), but I cried all the way home after I picked him up! We now book here before we book our holiday, because I know Webster is HAPPY and cared for! Thank you for looking after him x
Very impressed for the care and attention that the owner of the kennel spend with his pets guests. Strongly raccomended, I leaved with James my French bulldog and very, very happy of the professionality and service received. Thanks
We would recommend this kennel for anyone who wants their dog looked after like they are at home. Our frenchie is terrible for kennel guarding and can be snappy with people he doesn’t know, he was with James for 5 nights and when we picked him up he was so happy and kept going to James for cuddles 🥰 We will not put our dog anywhere else. We cannot thank James enough for the care he gave our dog.
My dog has just stayed at Hareshill for 8 nights and he loved every minute. James and team have taken really good care of him, I have received regular updates and I wouldn't hesitate to book my dog or recommend any of my friends to use Hareshill. Thank you, see you in December!
I was so nervous about putting Elsa in boarding kennels as she’s never been away from me before but James put my mind at ease I was sent regular updates about Elsa and you can tell she was well looked after and had a fantastic time. I will definitely be using Hareshill boarding kennels in the future.
In the past couple of weeks I've left my dogs twice with James and I can honestly say I fully recommend his services. I've got 2 covid puppies that weren't socialized, so they are always nervous and anxious around other people and dogs. James has taken them in and treated them as if they were his own, and this has made all the difference. The dogs aren't secluded to a tiny kennel all day long. There is a focal area outside, with loads of space, toys and agility equipment where dogs are free to roam around. They are taken for walks outside and they are genuinely taken care of. James has even taken the time and patience to introduce my dogs to the 'social crew' and this has given them a sense of belonging to the pack they had never experienced before. It's amazing to see how my dogs have joined the gang and happily play and run around without being scared, barky or nervous. Thank you, James! For treating my dogs as if they were your own. It was impressive to realise how excited they were to see you the last time I dropped them off. Seeing them jump up and down to get your attention and cuddles speaks volumes of your talent and professional approach.
