Mollie and Luke, gave my boy the care and attention he needed. They kept in touch with a few pictures and messages giving the right balance. The house was clean and tidy when I arrived back and he was a happy boy. I and Campbell would welcome them again into our home.

Travelling couple (holistic coach & winemaker) seeking housesits globally!
Danielle and Christian stayed in our house with our elderly cat for 5 days. We met them before going on our holiday and immediately warmed to them. They clearly were self-sufficient although not having a car (they came to Scotland by air, from Cornwall) and made good friends with the now-retiring cat right away (not so easy as one might assume!). They managed in the house perfectly, and our WhatsApp communications left us entirely at ease. The house was clean and all fine when we got back and Cookie was clearly content too. D and C are busy people but if they do apply to an invitation of yours, we have no hesitation in recommending that you take them on! J&H

Excited to start housesitting, the memories and furry friends we'll make
Jasmin and Callum were our first house sitters and we could definitely notice a difference in how calm our cats were when we returned from our holiday, which is so reassuring as pet parents! Our house was also left beautifully tidy and they were very thoughtful in leaving us a wedding card and gift too. Thank you

Trustworthy, Professional couple. We treat your home & pets with respect.
Julie and Tony were brilliant as the sit was a bit short notice. They live fairly local so looked in the day before to go through things. Everything went well and the were very efficient, the cats were very happy when we got home, highly recommended thank you both.

Your precious pets and your happy home will be in safe hands!
Juliana is a really wonderful house sitter, and we were so fortunate that she was free to sit for Percy a second time. We can't recommend highly enough! She is an easy going, friendly, conscientious sitter who communicates well, arrives on time and leaves the house spotless. She clearly adores animals and we returned to one very happy and contented dog, who had enjoyed some lovely long walks. Thank you so much Juliana and we very much hope to see you again in the future.

Currently looking for sits in Thailand/Bali!
Owen and Aaliyah took great care of our big bouncy boxer dog and our home. They were also very reliable considering we had a broadband issue 2 days before the sit started which we were unable to resolve during their stay but they still agreed to do the sit. Our house was clean and tidy when we returned and our dog was very happy!

A Calm Canadian Who Loves Spending Time With Animals!
It was a pleasure having Tanya. Cats were happy and the house as we left it! Communication was easy and she was also super flexible with a date change - thanks Tanya!
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
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.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
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.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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.
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!

Lovely spacious kennel, with secure playing field, all tucked away in fields. Boarded both my dogs for 1st time. Was worried as 1 of them isn't easy to handle, but all was absolutely fine. Sam is just the kind of person I was hoping for Would be happy to leave them at westwind any time 😊 …
Stayed here for the first time earlier this year and will always use Sam from now on. I don't think my dog wanted to leave! Highly recommended.
Sam's great, and our young dog Mabel had a brilliant time there, playing with her new friends. Sam sent us a couple of videos whilst we were on holiday (which was an added bonus, and really thoughtful of Sam) and we couldn't believe how much Mabel was enjoying herself (the traitor) - you could see she was having an absolute blast. This really put our minds at rest, so we could relax and enjoy our holiday. And the fact that it's a small kennels is good too - Sam has the time to play with and thoroughly exercise all the dogs in her care, and the dogs get to make good friends, and to spend plenty of time playing with them. So we've found Mabel's permanent holiday hotel, and we're very pleased. Thanks, Sam.
I have 2 border collies one of whom can be highly reactive with people he doesn't know and I didn't think we'd ever be able to use kennels. And then a well respected dog trainer recommended that I try Sam at West Winds. From the first time I met her I knew that Sam was right for my dogs. Three years on & I wouldn't go anywhere else. My dogs love her, they leap out of the car when we get there (they know where the toys are kept!!), the kennels are spacious & clean, the dogs are well exercised and most importantly for me they are understood, well looked after & all of their needs are met. I would recommend Sam and her kennels to anyone who wants peace of mind when they can't look after their dogs themselves.
We have been using Westwinds Boarding Kennels now for 5 years and highly recommend Sam and her family and definitely would not go anywhere else. The kennels are a great size and always spotless. Our rescue boy Bob has a few behavior issues and Sam and her mum are fantastic with him and in return he enjoys his stays and we have peace of mind. Thank you so much we really do appreciate your kindness and professional approach to our boy.
We have used Westwinds Boarding Kennels on several occasions over the past few years and I cannot recommend enough the care and commitment that Sam gives to all her guests. They are treated with the same care and love that she gives to her own pets I have left 2 of our beloved pets with Sam and each time they have boarded together and been thouroughly exercised with several walks per day on the beach and around the lanes, my eldest collie Benji has separation issues but has taken to Sam and will follow her around as if she were his owner, I secretly think if he could he would let her " adopt" him permanently. We last used Westwinds in 2016 for a long stay in late March which required a late drop off and late collection all done without any additional charges Basically Sam loves your pets and your pets will love Sam. If my wife will entrust Sam with our babies then that is recommendation enough.
Only boarding I would use for my boy, Sam & her family are fantastic. Always very accommodating with drop off collection times. Kennels are cosy & well maintained. Our boy has many special needs ie. Diet, medication etc, so goes to Sam with a list of instructions!! This has never been a problem. We have a very nervous dog, who is always happy to stay at Westwinds, so this speaks for itself. On collection we can tell he has enjoyed his holiday too. Highly recommended
We have taken our two GSDs there several times, including one when my boy was six weeks into recovery from cruciate implant surgery. Sam knew exactly what to do to look after him, in fact our vet confirmed our confidence in her knowledge & care. They are happy & relaxed in her company, greeting her with joy when they see her. There are very few people I would trust with our two, Sam is one of them.
Our Munsterlander, Charlie, has stayed at Westwinds many times. He’s been in several different kennels in various parts of the country in his relatively long life (nearly fourteen now). He's a sociable but sensitive soul, and Westwinds is one of the very few boarding kennels where he’s been consistently happy to go: he always runs up to Sam with his tail wagging when we drop him off! We never leave him anywhere else now. During the time Charlie has boarded regularly with Sam he’s had both knees replaced, and though these were fine for the first three or four years, more recently he’s got a lot slower and his kidneys are now failing: he’s on quite a complex drug regime and a special diet, and Sam has taken this in her stride. We’re always very happy to leave Charlie in Sam’s care, and as I said he’s always pleased to see her. My wife and I would heartily recommend Westwinds without any reservations, and so would Charlie!
Sadly I cannot recommend Westwinds. When talking to Sam when I booked I was confident that our 2 dogs (one a 5 month old puppy) would be well looked after. When we contacted to arrange collection Sam had changed the rules and we had to leave them an extra night. Not collecting them on the saturday pm would have been fine IF she had said that in the beginning. They were smelly. Old dog had been overfed despite instructions on quantity, pup had gummy eyes despite warning that she may need eye drops. Will not return.
We were so lucky to find Christine when we recently had our holiday in St Erth, my two whippet babies settled so well with Christine and Lottie...much better than they ever have anywhere else. Christine accommodated us for the times we needed and really made our holiday. It was so nice to be able to go off on our own to some places which were not suitable for our fur babies Poppy and Tansie knowing we didnt need to worry at all and Christine sent lots of lovely pics and vids of the girls playing and out on walks which was great xx Thanks Christine we will certaily be looking you up when we next visit xx Penny, Mike, poppy and Tansie xxxx
I have just come back from St Ives where I was staying with my family including my two dogs: Indi - a St Bernard cross & Marnie - a Newfoundland cross. We had seen a post about Christine on a Facebook group, and can honestly say she was a godsend to us over the 2wks we were In St Ives looking after the girls. After the first intro session they took to Christine, & were so happy when she came to sit with them when we went out. She sent us lots of photos, & put me at my ease whilst she was sitting (I very rarely use sitters at home). I would highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs someone they can trust to sit or walk their dogs!
We were so worried about leaving our princess, Lottie. We hadn’t left her for a single night since pre covid and we are absolutely besotted with her. Lottie is 12 so that adds another dimension too. We had planned a very special two week holiday celebrating our wedding anniversary so really needed to feel anxiety free whilst we were away. We need not have worried! Christine came very highly recommended and she exceeded all our expectations. We received daily updates, pics and videos. We had the best holiday underpinned by knowing Lottie was having the best, and safe, time too. I expected Lottie to be hysterical with joy when she saw me but she was very happy in Christine’s arms! Proof if proof were needed, and it wasn’t, of all of Lottie’s emotional and physical needs being met. Highly highly recommend and Lottie is already booked back in for another trip!
