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.

Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Chris was an outstanding pet sitter and I would definitely use him again! He is reliable, responsible, and thorough. I was able to FaceTime Chris prior to the sit and he spent a lot of time answering and asking questions. I felt confident after speaking with him. Throughout the weekend, Chris communicated clearly through texting. He let me know when he arrived and left which was helpful. He also sent photos and updates of both my cats. My boy cat has occasional anxiety issues which cause UTI's. Andy had a flare up while I was away and Chris was very attentive to him and let me know how he was doing. Chris did not seem to mind taking extra care of him which I very much appreciate. Chris left my house clean and even washed the sheets and towels he used before leaving!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
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.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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!
Sarah has done a great job looking after Reggie our house rabbit whilst we were away for a few days. We were sitting having our tea and "ping" our phone went - Sarah had sent us a video of Reggie enjoying himself and some lovely photos of him really chilled and relaxed. A weight off our shoulders and we felt reassured he was being looked after and loved whilst we were away. So happy we've asked Sarah to look after Reggie again later this year :)
We asked Sarah to look after our cats whilst we were on holiday. Exceptional service that I would happily recommend further. Thank you Sarah.
We've used Sarah many times to look after our cats in our home. We can thoroughly recommend her. Totally trustworthy, the cats love her and she copes with our cat with renal issues. We never worry about Mikey and Mavis when we go away.
Excellent service all the time! The dogs love it!! Always come back happy!!
I’ve been using Chris and Mel for a few weeks and they’ve been really knowledgeable and patient with my difficult and reactive dog Mason. They tailored the sessions to gain his trust and can even let him off lead now! Definitely recommend We Love Pets.
Our two large dogs don't have much experience with being looked after by anyone else but Chris and Mel were complete professionals from start to finish. They took our Apollo's excitement and energy levels in their stride and were able to keep Luna company through her anxiety of us not being around. Our dogs are very different in personality so to know that each would be catered for was very reassuring. We certainly recommend We Love Pets services and we will definitely be using them again when we next visit the area.
We have used Chris and Mel twice now to look after our two dogs. They were looked after so well and it was great to be away with no concerns over our dogs well being. The house was immaculate when we got home and the dogs looked great too. We would definitely use them in the future and would advise anyone to use them too. It so nice to know your animals are being so well loved and cared for.
Chris at We Love Pets Stowmarket has recently looked after our 2 large and extremely energetic dogs, house sitting both during the day, and also for several nights whilst we have been away. We cannot recommmend Chris highly enough, he has cared for the dogs, and our home (plus 2 cats and a goldfish!) with great care and attention. Chris took the dogs on extensive walks and they were very settled and calm when we returned home, allowing us to feel completely confident about leaving them in his capable and experienced hands in the future. We have already booked further dates with Chris and Mel who have been very responsive and helpful in fitting us in, despite being very busy.
We've had a great experience with Chris, Mel & the team popping in to our dog Reggie. They've been so flexible and accommodating working around our changeable work schedules and Reg loves a lunchtime visit and walk. We always look forward to getting the picture updates about what they've managed to persuade a stubborn Basset to do each time and will definitely keep working with the team!
Excellent and Friendly dog walking service. Very flexible with changes and always good communication. Would recommend to anyone looking for casual or more permanent dog walking / dog sitting services
We had been struggling to find someone who was able to look after our mix of pets (rabbits, gerbils, gecko and fish) whilst we were away. We came across Mel and Chris who were able to fit us in at short notice and arranged to visit our house daily to feed all of our animals. We received daily updates and photos/videos which was great to see whilst we were away. All our animals were very well looked after, had cuddles and were very happy. We would recommend Mel and Chris to anyone who needs their animals looked after 🐾
Chris and Mel came to look after our pets with twice daily pop in visits. This was for our three cats and one house rabbit and our first booking. Two of my cats are on regular medications and they were able to administer these on initial visit which I was so pleased about. My cats are quite wary of new people but they must have have been relaxed in their company to allow them to do so. I had regular detailed updates at every visit and clearly they had followed all instructions to the letter. Photos demonstrated how thorough and conscientious they had been, everything was neat and tidy and it was clear how much care and attention they put into their work. I can honestly say it’s worth every penny - having peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and your home is secure while on holiday is SO important. Thank you Chris and Mel, you’re far and away the best pet sitting company we’ve ever come across and I will definitely be recommending you to family and friends.
I have been super impressed with We Love Pets Stowmarket. From our first interaction, there has been great communication throughout, from an initial call, through to an overnight trial where we received pictures and updates of how our pups were doing. Really reassured to know that our dogs are being well looked after and loved as if they were at home. Thank you ❤️
We've used Chris & Mel on a couple of occasions. They always go out of their way to help and they love spending quality time with the dogs. Chris & Mel sent regular updates, pics & videos of our dogs and you can be rest assured your pets will be looked after as if they were their own.
Very attentive to our cats, rabbits and chickens, giving us peace of mind while we were away for a few days. Wouldn't hesitate to use again.
Friendly staff and great location. Our pup loves it here too.
Amazing staff, really care and look after your pooch as if they were their own. They play with them,have themed weeks for the dogs to get involved with if they wish, and they even have nap time in the afternoon. My pooch loves it here, and we don't hear a thing from him all evening as he is exhausted 😊 Keep up the great work Lisa and team
Fantastic place for our new puppy. Its always a good sign when her tail is wagging and she cant wait to go in when she gets there! She has lots of fun, positive socialisation with other dogs and is knackered when she gets home! Lisa and the others are absolutely brilliant and have helped settle Daphne into creche life and she has built so much confidence. I feel very lucky to have them so close by and so does Daphne too! Thanks Lisa and everybody at St Mary's creche 🐶
Our puppy Winnie has been going to the crèche since she was 12 weeks old, and it’s the best thing we’ve ever done! All of the staff are incredible, so knowledgable, they love your dogs as much as you do! They have themed weeks and have so much fun, they make sure dogs are well hydrated, shaded, and resting enough in the summer so it’s perfect for the hot weather! Our pup loves it there so much, she never wants to come home at pick up time! It’s been amazing for socialising our pup and has helped her become such a playful, independent, friendly girl! We couldn’t recommend the crèche enough! Thank you to Lisa and her wonderful team!
Our Daxxi puppy recently started at St Mary’s Canine Creche, not only was the settling in period really easy and smooth they have been so accommodating and lovely. She’s now done a few full days and absolutely loves it, she looks happy when she leaves and loves being dropped off in the morning. 10/10 recommend, we looked at a few other places but they didn’t seem interested in the dog whereas here we know she is playing and looked after all day long whilst making new doggy & human friends, I love the fact that they share pictures of the dogs regularly so you can always see what fun you dog/pup is up to whilst they are there.
Crèche or what we call “school” has been a life saver for me & our pup Grace. With me working long days & my other half in the military, having the crèche means Grace can have a fun day too! Grace has loved school from 14 weeks, she is so well socialised now & behaves so lovely around other dogs we meet! “School” has helped grace learn the important doggy social cues, how to be independent, how to enjoy herself (and how to bark ha ha!). The team are so friendly & understanding, they get that they’re your family & they care (even when you are an overbearing dog mum lol) ! Grace cannot wait to get in, in the morning, she has made so many new friends and always comes out so happy (and sleepy!) I would deffo recommend you taking your dog / puppy along it does them wonders and helps them to be happy, social, confident puppers
We only need to use the creche occasionally but whenever we do send Griou here he also has a great time charging around with the other dogs. He's well looked after, the team love Griou and as an added bonus he also returns sleepy!
Brilliant canine crèche to make sure my dog has had lots of contact with other dogs as he joined us during the pandemic. Couldn't recommend more - very friendly and the dog loves it there!
Staff are lovely and my dog has a ball
Great facilities, dogs having a great time playing with all the equipment and each other in a very safe environment. Brilliant
