Trustworthy and reliable couple
Steven and Ariel were amazing house sitters. They came to meet my husband beforehand to introduce themselves, which I thought was nice and reassuring. They sent us frequent updates and photos of our lovely Fluffy. The kids and i enjoyed seeing what she was up to… she looked very happy with Steven and Ariel in the photos and videos and I could see they were treating her very well. Once we got home Fluffy was relaxed. They left our home exactly as they found it, plus they cleaned up a pan I had nearly destroyed and left a beautiful floral display. We were very pleased as they made our few days away worry free and the process was effortless. We would be happy for them both to stay in our home and look after Fluffy again.

Christian is an exceptional pet sitter and I highly recommend him. Before meeting my two cats, he took the time to ask thoughtful questions and make notes about their personalities, which immediately reassured me that they were in good hands. His care and attention to detail were evident throughout, as he regularly sent me updates and photos while I was away. Not only did he look after my cats with genuine affection, but he also kept my flat spotless. Coming home to such a clean and welcoming space was a delight. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Christian to anyone and hope to have him as a sitter again in the future.

We couldn’t have asked for better sitters. Robin and Ola looked after our pets so well with plenty of regular updates, photos and videos. Our house was also immaculate when we returned. Don’t hesitate to book them for your next sit!

Matt and Jo were great sitters. Pumpkin was v well looked after and had lots of fuss and attention while we were away. They're very experienced and it shows - they agreed with us what we did and didn't want and need and made sure we had updates and news. The house was clean and tidy and ready for us when we got back. We'd welcome them back any time - highly recommended. A big thank you to you both!!

Sarah and Chris were just lovely, our boys took to them immediately. They sent us pics and updates on the boys during their stay, so we were confident they were all in safe hands. We would heartily recommend them and would be very happy to have them back any time. Thank you

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!

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.

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.
Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
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
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
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.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
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!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)

As a neurotic dog mum I cannot recommend Barehams highly enough! I worry so much that my Henry is ok while I am on holiday but I had heard good things and so gave them a go. Henry was booked into a VIP kennel for 6 nights earlier this month and it was so reassuring to receive regular photographs showing how much fun he was having. He looked so happy and it helped me relax to know he was being taken care of so well. When he was picked up, he was excited but tired and he has been a really good boy ever since (he does sometimes get a bit hyper but not so much since coming home.) I think Barehams did him as much good as a relaxing week’s holiday did me! If, like me, you think of your dog as your furry child, rest assured that Barehams will take brilliant care of them and you’ll receive lots of photo updates to help make the separation more bearable 😊
I felt condfident to leave my cat with them. They were highly recommended from family. My cat looked happy and relaxed when we collected her. Their premises are clean, warm and a happy bright place. The cats have so much room in a large bright clean pen filled with toys, climing posts, steps and clean bedding. I was able to take my time dropping my cat off and was allowed to go in her pen with her to settle her. What a wonderful cattery.
My Golden Retriever Dylan and I have been attending Barehams for nearly 7 years. I can’t thank them enough for looking after my boy. The grooming is exceptional, he goes in looking a bit tatty and comes out looking like a Golden should do and it isn’t rushed. We went to training here before Covid and he needed it, but Day Care is the best, he absolutely loves it, wonderful socialisation which they need. He has boarded a few times while I was in hospital and they looked after him like he was their own you. He absolutely loves it there. I have some physical problems and all the staff are so kind to me without exception, also, it’s a very happy place for dogs and people. Its one hours round trip for me but its so much worth it, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you for caring for my boy, he means everything to me and I know hes safe in your hands
We have just picked up Rex, we are extremely pleased with the service we have received. While on holiday, receiving photo’s regularly really helped us to relax, knowing that he was happy and being well looked after. We couldn’t thank you enough, it, as always, has been very successful.
We have been boarding our 13-year-old dog with Barehams for three years or so, and it’s been the only boarding place where we really feel 100% comfortable leaving our dog. We can really tell after picking her up, even after extended periods of time, what great care the staff at Bareham's take of our dog. We also appreciate the opportunity to purchase blocks of additional 1-on-1 playtime for our dog. It's also really nice to get the photos most days to see that she's doing well while we're away.
I have been bringing my two pamper pooches for years to Barehams they love staying ! First stop at the shop smudge always demanded a new toy!! then off to the VIP without so much as a sad look it always helps to know they enjoy seeing the lovely staff , sadly smudge crossed the rainbow 🌈 earlier in the year and the staff sent a lovely card , thank you it was lovely , Lola now stays on her own but the staff make such a fuss of her. It’s lovely and reassuring when I’m away to see how much fun lola is having nothing is too much trouble so thank you !! your a great team !!
For me the most stressful part about a holiday has always been my worry for my dogs while I’m not around 😬 Well I’m hopeful going forward it’s no longer an issue, I know it’s personal choice but anyone looking to put their dog in kennels, we just used Barehams in orsett while in Benidorm, best decision ever 🤗 they were so good with Bruce, and kept you fully updated daily with pictures and any issues… Where as few weeks ago at a different one it took him 10 days to get back to normal he was a shell of himself when he came home, where with them he came home from the kennels as normal as he went in ❤️ and on picking him up up you could see he was as happy to see the staff there as he was us 🤦♀️😂😂 (such a traitor😂)
Quite simply the best in the area. Been around a very long day and have grown the business from strength to strength. All staff are animal lovers. No need to look anywhere else to take care of your animals.
We have always used Barehams over the years to board our dogs, they genuinely care for the dogs and ensure they are well looked after. I highly recommend booking in advance. You get daily updates so you are reassured your pets are doing
Thank you for taking such good care of Charlie during our holiday. He loves your Day Care, so leaving him at the kennels has a reassuring feel for him and us for longer breaks. He comes back to us happy and well looked after by your fantastic team. We highly recommend your services. Thank you so much. Liz for Charlie!
I boarded my dog Tina for the first time at 4 Paws Kennels, for the past 2 weeks, and I highly recommend!! As a dog owner who love my baby so much, I was of course worried to leave her at kennels. I was pretty quickly made at ease, Neil and Shelly are just amazing, and you can tell they genuinely care about your dog wellbeing 🫶 I received photos a few times while away, and the photos speak to themselves - Tina had a blast on her own holiday with her doggy friends while I was on my holiday. I picked her up happy, healthy, and smelling so good 😊 we will definitely come back again ✨
Amazing Kennels! We left our 1 year old sprocker with them while on holiday and he had the best time! Made lots of friends and it didn't feel like he was missing us too much! Really lovely family run business, would definitely recommend.
First stay for summer I was a wreck but my doggy loved it, Neil and Shelly are amazing. Thank you so much we will definitely be back 12 out if 10 👍👍👍 …
We have an extremely anxious dog who normally goes to pieces when separated from us, so we were a bit worried about her when we left her, we shouldn't have been. These kennels are easily the best and always look after our dogs beautifully. Will definitely use again and can't recommend highly enough.
I recently had my dog Prince stay in dog kennel for the first time, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The owners Neil and Shelly took excellent care of my dog, showing great patience and responsibility throughout. The friendly owners made us feel welcome and at ease. The environment was lovely and perfect for my dog. They were also quick to respond to all my questions, ensuring a smooth and worry-free experience. Highly recommend! I would give 6 stars if I am allowed to. Thanks Neil and Shelly! ---
Fantastic kennels we sent our two staffies here one was quite nervous & this was our first time using kennels. Whilst our nervous pooch took longer to settle Shelly, Neil & their daughter went over & above to make sure she felt comfortable by sitting with her, hand feeding her & comforting her until she came around, which of course she did. We collected them & all their beds had been washed & toys & both dogs were clean & smelt gorgeous. We had whatapp contact daily until I felt both dogs were settled, we even had pictures. Hugely recommend & we will be returning. We can't thank this family run business enough ❤️
What can I say as I super anxious dog owner where I leave my dog when I go on holiday and plus being really nervous to a previous experience before all I can say is WOW my little dog absolutely loved it there to the point I think he’s already missing being at this place, they kept up with all the things he wanted and needed and gave him lots of affection. He made so many friends and got absolute freedom from wondering the lovely grounds. My dog come back healthy and so happy and I cannot thank them enough for having my little dog for his long stay. I will only use this place now as I can’t thank them enough for actually being amazing in looking after him for me. For anyone looking for a place for your dog please don’t look any further as honestly I’m so nervous and picky and they catered to everything my dog needed for his stay! Thank you again from Rudy & myself and he will be back again for sure! 😊 xx
Our two fur babies, Ellie and Max stayed with Neil and family at 4 Paws for just over two weeks, they were very well looked after, well fed, smelt beautiful and were super happy. Very reasonable price and what you see is what you get, happy, friendly, truthful and wonderful management 😀 …
After a lot of thought I decided whilst I was on holiday to put Aspen into kennels. Once greeted by Neil and Shelly I instantly felt relieved. They picked up on my anxiety of leaving Aspen. Aspen took to Shelly and walked off and didn't look back. He met lots of new friends and had a whale of a time. I bombarded Neil with questions prior to drop off and was never made to feel silly. I highly recommend. Aspen will be visiting frequently. Thanks once again guys. Clare & Aspen
We just boarded our dogs for the first time with 4 Paws and can honestly highly recommend. You immediately get a sense that your dogs will be well looked after and that was the case when we picked them up, both dogs were happy and healthy. The owners also sent us photos while we were away and responded quickly to any queries we had. Thank you both so much for looking after them so well and will definitely book with you in future.
