Mother & daughter animal lovers exploring the U.K.
This was the first time Philippa and her daughter Anna have sat for us and we would happily recommend them. We came home to 2 very well looked after and contented dogs. The house was immaculate and both Boris and Chrissy were sad to see them go! Great communication both before and during the sit.

A safe pair of hands with older lab, happy to assist others enjoy peace of mind
Well Rebecca and David really are fantastic! They returned to sit for us with their beautiful and well behaved Jess and we left with total confidence that all will be well! Inca our dog , the sheep donkeys and the house in totally perfect condition on our return home. They are generous and delightful people and I would wholeheartedly recommend them. We look forward to their return!

Middle aged dog/cat loving, gardening couple. Love mowing lawns and car washing
Gillian and Robert treated our dog, Blue like a Prince 🙂 we had regular updates and they followed all our requests for his care and happiness (and he looked very happy in the updates 🙂). Our house was also nice and tidy when we returned from our trip. Communication was great before and during our trip.

Between us we have a love of all animals but esp dogs, having fostered over 50
If there were more than five stars to give, I would give them to Darrell and Miranda. They couldn’t have looked after our three Vizslas any better. In fact, I’d argue the boys got more love and attention from them than they do from us, and that’s saying something! It’s not the first time D&M sat for us, and each time they come they feel more like family. Our boys love them! Communication throughout was excellent as always, the house was spotless and well looked after, and Darrell had even mowed the lawn! The dogs had enjoyed so many lovely walks and seemed very relaxed and happy. We can’t thank Darrell and Miranda enough!

Looking for long walks in the countryside with some fur babies
Tammy communicated well throughout the sit. She was very friendly and good with the cats. She looked after the house well and left it clean and tidy. Our cats were very happy when we returned. I would recommend Tammy as a house sitter

Petsitter with lots of experience with cats, dogs, fish, reptiles and rodents!
Lydia has been a fantastic sitter, the cats have loved her company and they've been well fed and their medications looked after (we have two with overactive thyroids, and they both put on a little weight while Lydia was here - hurrah!). We received pics or videos every day (one photo of our little Miao that Lydia sent may be one of our favourite of her ever, SO CUTE!). And she left the house spotless! Can't say nice enough words, and hope to have her back here another time that our babies need a temporary live-in friend!

I wouldn’t hesitate in asking them to sit for us again. We felt our home and pooch was in safe hands. They were more than accommodating with timings, kept in good communication with lots of pics and left the house in great condition. Bailey was a happy dog when we arrived home.

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.

Respectful Responsible Relaxed person that enjoys caring for pets and homes
Brian arrived a night early to allow us to set off early the following day. The dogs loved him and were immediately comfortable in his company. We got lots of updates while we were away which we loved. They went on lots of adventures. On our return the dogs were very settled and happy which is always our primary concern. We would highly recommend Brian as a sitter and welcome him back any time in the future. Thank you. Lisa & Harry
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!
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
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!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
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!
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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!
We booked our dog in here whilst on holiday to allow us to visit Portmerion, as it's not dog friendly. The girl on the phone was mega friendly, explaining as a day visitor our dog would be kept separate from the regular dogs & would be walked by the Lake. We dropped dog at 10.30am, there was another lady dropping her 2 dogs at same time. The 2 females checking us in were lovely, however, I thought it a tad odd that they paid no attention whatsover to the dogs. We arrived to pick dog up at 3.30. As soon as our dog came out kennel barn, he ran straight to a patch of grass to do a massive wee & within 10mins he then poo'd. This would indicate to me he was not walked at all in the time he was there. My dog is a confident, well behaved, well mannered & healthy wee boy. Later in the day, he was sick 3 times which is highly unusual. Overall, it was a disappointing experience
We were so anxious about leaving our little rescue dog in kennels for the 1st time , but neednt of worried, Tyn y Dref took awesome care of our sweet baby , we have kennelled our now passed dogs here in the past and will always make Tyn y Dref our first option to book with … Thankyou to all at the kennels x
We had booked and paid for 2 daycare stays whilst we were on holiday locally. A couple of days after the first stay, our little bichon became very poorly. She developed Kennel cough and was struggling to breathe and had to be taken to the vet. As a responsible dog owner, we informed the owner that our dog had kennel cough, and whilst she may have caught it there, we were not about to take her back there to infect any other animals. We did not receive a reply, not even to ask how our dog was or sorry she was ill, let alone a refund for the day we couldn’t take her. Our dog doesn’t mix with other dogs, so the source is limited where she could have caught it. We lost a lot of money that day, including tickets for a train trip, along with added vets bills. There was no feedback as to how she had been for the day, and given it was obvious she was timid, some reassurance would have been appreciated. This was our first time putting our dog in daycare, and the experience has put us off putting her in somewhere ever again!
Given such a high rating based on my dog's reaction On arrival she was happy to trot off to the kennels and on collection noticed she was completely relaxed in the company of the lady who brought her to me. As she is a nervous dog I think the reactions speak for themselves
Booked my dog in for a few days whilst on holiday and will definitely be using these kennels again. The staff were amazing handling my dog and cared for him so well, thank you!
We needed some emergency day care for my partner's dog as we could not take her to Portmeirion. Tyn Y Dref could not have been more helpful at short notice. Brilliant care in a stunning location.
They were quite rude to me on arrival and didn't take much interest in the dog. Felt bad leaving him there and decided to get him early. Not sure if he got much of a walk or how he was, they didn't say. He seemed to be basically kept safe so I have given them two rather than one but wouldn't use the place again.
We found them pompous and unhelpful. We decided not to use their services.
The lovely people at Tyn y Dref Kennels took great care of our Bernese Mountain Dog for the day whilst we walked up Snowdon (she would not have been able to manage it). Highly recommended. Would use their services again.
When my husband was in hospital I had to put my dogs into kennels , at this time, 2019. My dogs were looked after so well. I can never thank them enough
I'd recommend Stuart and Gwynedd Dog Walking 100%. Our little terrier, Lizzie, is pretty timid with strangers, but she took to Stuart immediately. Stuart was always prompt and did exactly as agreed. Excellent service and value for money. I will always use Stuart's service and would happily recommend him to anyone.
I was nervous about leaving our rescue dog for the first time but Stuart was great. He texted me to say Rocky had settled and was happy with the other dogs. They went on lots of walks both on the beaches and in the woods. Would highly recommend Stuart.
Excellent service provided by Stuart, reliable and brilliant with our chocolate Labrador dog Oliver, we run a busy B&B so occasional long walks with Stuart are a huge help also when we go on holiday we are more than happy that Oliver will be well looked after and cared for. Would certainly have no hesitation recommending Stuart and Gwynedd Dog Walking.
Stuart took care of my very timid 16 yr old boarder collie, who has canine dementia. yesterday, I was very confident Stuart was excellent and allowed her time to meet his dogs and other looked after doggie guests, excellent gold standard service . I think she really enjoyed herself and certainly was very safe, highly recommend Rosie says thankyou
Excellent dog care. We leave our dogs with Stuart for occasional daily dog care and also when we go away on holiday. The dogs are very happy there, they get long walks and lots of TLC. We are very lucky to have Gwynedd Dog Walking close by.
Great service; highly recommended!
Nice
Much appreciated Rob.
We couldn’t ask for a better place for our doggy than Petz Ark! She absolutely loves her time there and gets excited as soon as we take the turn, recognising the place right away — it really says a lot! Vicky and the team provide amazing care, always sending us pictures and updates while we’re away. It makes us feel at ease knowing she’s at a home away from home. She always comes back happy and content. We highly recommend Petz Ark!
I would highly recommend Petz Ark. Victoria is lovely and very knowledgeable when it comes to the needs of the dogs staying with her in her home. I loved the photo and video updates which put my mind at ease. It really is a home from home.
Can leave Blodyn knowing she is in good hands will be well.cared for and keept safe.
Blodwen (Cockapoo) 🐾 very happy to see Victoria & Staff every time. She comes Home as happy as she went. 💗 Would highly recommend. 👌 …
Excellent place to leave you pets, they will be very well looked after
