Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

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.

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

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.

Reviews From Pet sitter
I used to sit through Rover, but it always felt like a job. I had to accept sits I didn’t really want—like pets I wasn’t comfortable with or dates that didn’t work for me. If I said no, my rating would drop, and I’d lose future opportunities. It was stressful, and I started to lose my love for pet sitting.
Then I found Zeewoi. Here, I get to choose the pets I love, the dates that fit my schedule, and the places I want to explore. It’s not a job anymore—it’s a chance to spend time with animals I adore, and feel empowered to say no without fear. Zeewoi gave me back the joy of pet sitting.

I’m a writer who works remotely, but hotels and Airbnbs add up fast. Zeewoi lets me live in homes full-time while owners are away—not just caring for their pets, but keeping their house safe. Turns out, in a lot of states, leaving your house empty for more than 5 days can mess up your insurance.
It’s a trade that works. Owners avoid risks, and I get free places to write—like that month in a cabin where I finished my book with a snoozing Labrador at my feet. The pets keep me company, the house gives me space to focus, and nobody’s stressing about an empty home.

After retiring and losing our dog, my husband and I sold our house and started traveling full-time. We’re in our late 60s and can’t rush, so Zeewoi is perfect. We care for pets in exchange for free places to stay.
In 3 years, we’ve visited 46 states. We’ve stayed in homes, farms, and apartments, looking after dogs, cats, and even a llama. Owners get free pet care; we get to travel slowly and affordably. It’s meaningful—we help people (new parents, busy workers) and still feel connected to pets after losing ours.
No stress, no hotels. We’re healthier, happier, and forever grateful. Alaska and Hawaii, here we come!

Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Nancy
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.
Chelsey
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
Joanne
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.

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!

Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Clare
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Paola
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Edward
Cat and Paul sat for me in December and kept a watchful eye on my trusty sidekick Jake. All I can say is my gosh what a great job they did giving Jake a lot of TLC. He obviously missed them since he wandered around our home looking for them after their departure. My home was left in the exact same condition and they did a great job of communicating with me during my trip, letting me know exactly how Jake was getting along. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of my home and showing Jake a great time. I hope that during the coming year they will volunteer to do another sit for me. If you need any other specifics about how awesome a sitter Cat is please feel free to call or email me and I will be more than happy to give you more details. Hope you have an opportunity in the future to use them as house and pet sitters! Regards! Edward

Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!

We've been using Cherie for a while now and have to say we wouldn't want anyone else looking after our fluffball! You can see from the daily pictures that he loves the time he spends with her on the visits. Always so calm and contented on our return home too. Cherie does a fantastic job.
Huge thanks to Cherie's Pet Services for keeping our cats very happy and well cared for whilst we went away. The cats were so happy and relaxed when we got home! It was our first holiday with our new baby and knowing the furry babies were having a lovely time was reassuring! Thanks so much!
My first time using Cherie's Pet Services for my 2 cats Gizmo and Noodles. Gizmo old cat and on medication and didn't want him in different surroundings or separated from Noodles. Cherie was great service while was away 10 days, I got daily updates and photo's. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend.
A huge thank you & recommendation to Cherie on looking after my cat. My fur baby is an old lady & I was so worried about leaving her, but I had nothing to worry about out at all. Cherie went above and beyond to make sure she was settled & well looked after. She sent me photos & videos & checked in every day which was so reassuring & lovely. Such a lovely lady, so good with animals & completely 💯 trustworthy. I’m already booking her again for later in the year. Really professional service, highly recommend, plus she watered all my plants & kept everything alive in my garden which was so appreciated xx
We can't recommend Cherie, and her husband enough.They looked after Chippy for a week and sent us daily updates on how he was doing. He's an anxious dog, so we were pleased to see how happy he was there. He absolutely loves them. The photo says it all—totally spoiled! Thank you so much!
We booked Cherie for daily visits for our two guinea pigs for a week and I can highly recommend her. We received photos and felt reassured that they were well. They were very happy and chatty when we returned home. I will definitely we booking her again in the future!
I truly can't thank Cherie enough for looking after our dog whilst away for a 2 day wedding. The bond she has made with our dog is so lovely & put our minds at ease especially this being our first dog sitting experience. We will be sure to use her in future and recommend to anyone needing their pets cared for 🥰 …
Cherie has been excellent with our little 4 month old boxer puppy Pepper. She’s always in communication with us and is always available if we have any questions. Pepper is loving her visits already and has been very relaxed when we come home from work. Cherie has taken a lot of stress out of our lives, thank you Cherie! Kiss from Pepper 😄
Cherie is always great with our cats when we’re away, they are very happy with her and we always feel reassured. The daily photo updates are great and much appreciated! Would recommend her services :)
Cherie looked after our wee tabby cat Kevin whilst we were in Ireland ! She went over any beyond making sure Kevin was looked after sending me photos and videos of her visits !! Amazing service

Waggy Wanderers have been fabulous helping walk/entertain our big fella while myself and the wife are out at work all day. You'll get a serious amount of videograhy and photos of your prized fur ball out and about on his adventures with Laura and his wee doggy pals too which is brilliant to see (few high quality snaps attached for example). Great service 👏
Laura pet sat my house rabbit for a week and was absolutely amazing. It's always scary leaving your pet with someone new for the first time (especially when they're quite sensitive and not particularly fond of people like my boy is!) but Laura was very competent and kind, and really respected his individual needs. I could tell from the daily updates she sent that he was comfortable and being looked after very well, which was so reassuring whilst I was away. She was an absolute godsend and I wouldn't hesitate to have her pet sit for me again in the future.
Laura at Waggy Wanderers Pet Care is simply amazing with our fur baby. From day one she’s worked with us to meet our dogs needs and has helped with his training hugely. Laura takes time to get to know the dogs and really does cater for individual needs. She’s also super flexible and always try’s her best to meet our schedule. I couldn’t recommend Laura more!! Added bonus that Laura shares updates/photos of the walks with us via WhatsApp and Facebook which is so lovely to see. Our dog absolutely loves his time with his Laura!
We have 2 rescue dogs that can be very nervous on walks, and Laura is great with them and they love when they go on their walks with Laura. Laura has been very flexible when helping organise walks to fit the dogs with my shift work, She is very trustworthy and I would highly recommend Laura to anyone.
Laura is amazing with our dog. He loves going for walks with her and we get great footage (video and photo) of the time they spend together. Laura is reliable and extremely trustworthy. An invaluable support to our family!
Laura has been, and is, a fantastic dog walker. She has been walking our dog since Lunan was just 12 weeks old (initially she did call-in puppy visits and then went from solo walks to integrating Lunan into group walks which are fantastic for socialising and tiring out our little one 😊). Laura communicates regularly with photos and videos to show how our dog got on that day/ week as well as checking in each week to ensure what services we need. Laura is incredibly flexible as she has changed days, times and even looked after Lunan in the evening time when events have arisen we have needed to attend. We landed so lucky with Laura and I cannot endorse her enough. She’s diligent, flexible and above all, a lover of dogs(and animals of all types): what else do you need from a dog walker?
Highly recommended. Friendly, professional service and the cats love her. Laura looked after our cats for a week, and we returned to two very chilled and happy cats, she even won over our male cat who can be very aloof with strangers! Laura sent us regular updates and even took care of watering the plants etc, we’ll definitely be using waggy wanderers again.
Laura is great with dogs. She is also very reliable and flexible. Overall she provides the great service!
Laura has been our dog Walker for over a year now and I really couldn’t ask for more She regularly checks in with us and shares the experiences our pooch has She is punctual, flexible and lets us know anything about our dog’s walk we may need to She comes highly recommended and you’d be as lucky as us to have her for your pet!

Sharon and Carly did an amazing job with my two silly cats. They loved playing with all the toys! They were very spoiled. Can’t thank them enough for giving me peace of mind while being away on holiday. I got texts and photos at every visit which I loved. I will definitely use them again in the future!
This was the first, but certainly not the last time we used Purrfect Paws to look after our boy. Sharon was prompt with communication and her “meet and greet” visit. The setting up of a WhatsApp group enabled Sharon and Carly to send daily updates and photos. This also showed us what a great time Loki had with his “Aunties” (especially the bag of treats and tricks!). He was well looked after and that’s what you want from a great pet sitting service. Highly recommended
These girls are amazing! So highly recommended. Both carly and Sharon managed to get my boys to play with toys and be so loving to them when they normally don't. Our wee gizmo is such a timid boy and by the end of the first week he was up giving the girls love which was so reassuring to both me and my partner. 1000/10 recommend for your fur-babies🥰
I was so nervous about leaving my cat for the first time but Sharon and her team were fab! They arranged a home visit for me to meet them and feel comfortable and of course for the cat to met them too. The team kept in constant contact with me on the run up to them looking after the cat and during too with lots of pictures and updates making sure I knew my cat had her medicine etc! They really made me feel at ease about leaving. I would highly recommend Sharon and her team, your animal is very well loved in the care of her ❤️
Fantastic with our cats , professionally done with a genuine approach from Sharon and Carley. Highly recommend and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Great app/web link portal to enter our cats details and easy to pay the billing.
Purrfect Paws recently looked after my 3 cats when I was away for 10 days. Sharon and her Team were wonderful and I can't recommend them enough. By the end of the time I was completely confident that all the people who were looking out for my cats knew them all very well. My cats were so cared for, played with and petted and fed well which is saying something as 2 of my guys have complex feeding requirements and dodgy appetites. I received photos every day and I was completely reassured that they were in such capable and loving hands. Thank you so much, Sharon, Laura and Cherie.
Our cat is very nervous around new people, but Sharon was very patient and understanding - we couldn’t have asked for more. This was our first time using a service like this but would definitely recommend. I especially loved the daily photos, a lovely touch!
I recently used Purrfect Paws Midlothian for my two cats. I have to say, from the moment I contacted Sharon, she was so professional and very helpful. Cherie came to meet us and our cats and discussed all the details. It definitely took all the stress and worry away as I just knew they were going to get well looked after. While we were away it was lovely to receive daily updates and pictures when Cherie visited. The cats were happy when we returned. We will definitely be using this service again and again.
I highly recommend Sharon and her team. Sharon looked after our cat, Jasmine, wonderfully; spending quality time with her each day and sending me updates after each visit, which allowed us to enjoy our time away without worry. Sharon has an excellent way with cats; Jasmine is usually very timid and nervous around other people but she took really well to Sharon. I will definitely be using Purrfect Paws whenever we go away.
What a great first experience using Purrfect Paws to look after our boy Socks while we were on holiday. We were updated daily with pictures of him having loads of fun with the ladies! He has been looked after so well and Heather, Holly and Sharon went above and beyond to make sure he was safe and sound. Even coming back late in the evening to make sure he came home, wee adventurer that he is. Thank you ladies, we will certainly be using again in the future! Emma

Great kennels been taking my Ben and Bailey there for a few years now and we'll looked after,amazing staff also
We have used nivensknowe for many years and would totally recommend it The staff are excellent and the dogs very well looked after and secure
I've been using Nivensknowe for several years now and wouldn't go anywhere else. Alan and all the team are fantastic. Very professional, friendly and willing to accomodate bookings at short notice if they possibly can. They've saved my bacon several times. Best of all, Marv's always very keen to go back in with a lovely welcome from the team.
Richie our miniature dachsund absolutely loves alan and the team , he's always super happy when he gets there and wants to stay when we come and collect
My dog Nala has been coming here for around 2 yrs due to her anxiety of being left alone at home from a few months old. Alan and the team are great with her and she seems to love the staff here to. Nala goes to daycare when we're working and whenever we're going on holiday, shes here for the week or two. I noticed a few negative reviews implying that the pets aren't getting fed as the owners have been handed the food back when picking up their pets. Alan supplies meals of wet, dry or raw depending on what your pet is on and this is included in the price. I cant recommend this place highly enough and I know Nala is well looked after.
After being rushed into hospital Alan & his team looked after my Bordeux " Boss " . I can't thank them enough to the point he made regular trips ether for dog day care & or walks as loved it that much. He would walk away from us never look back & jump into Alan's van , now that speaks volumes!!! Alan & his staff always went above and beyond like Boss was there own I will use no other kennel, full stop !! Thank you so much for making Boss's last months the best , same again this speaks volumes!! Ali
Figaro loves his stay at Nivensknowe, Alan and his team are very professional and care for your pet very well I would not go anywhere else.
Recently had our cat Burrito stay for 10 days at Nivensknowe while we were on holiday and couldn't recommend it more. They offer pick up and drop off and were happy to update with any questions we had whilst away. The price is also very reasonable. Thank you so much to Alan and the team at Nivensknowe for taking such good care of Burrito!
the council took my cat there due to family problems, he was only there a week and the last visit I saw him FINISHED, They only have a stove that doesn't even heat the hut completely, they don't put a pittance of sand in it so they can relieve themselves.I don't know what they will put in his food but my cat has died and supposedly his kidneys were failing, he stopped walking, he couldn't not even stand up, he vomited a strong yellow liquid as if from poisoning, may he rest in peace Robin 🕊️🤍, the service there is terrible, no one ever serves you and when they do so without interest, there are dogs crying non-stop and it is incredibly cold to the place where they have them. I HOPE I listened to the reviews and didn't leave my cat there. PLEASE DON'T TAKE YOUR CREATURES THERE.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 i hope this place closes very soon ,if your animal has died here please contact me!
Left my dog for 3 nights. He got dropped of clean, happy and healthy. Also packed his food with him. When he got picked up he was covered in mud/dirt, all wet and stinky. Had to bath him as soon as he got home. Since he been home he haven't eaten his food and he haven't been his usual self. On top of that he been sick twice (definitely not a dog food he been fed there ) it's actually concerning how they are "looking after" the animals.

We use the doggy day care and the run free fields here and they are great. The staff are so lovely and make us feel really confident about leaving our pup with them for a half day or a full day at the daycare. The run free fields are great value for money and are a great way for us to get a few dogs together to have a run about and play. I've only used the dog house shop a few times but was very impressed by the range of stuff they have in there.
Tomorrow will be Harris's last day at Barklay Park and we will both be sorry to leave. My boy has been there from a baby puppy and he absolutely loves this place, so much so he never looks back at me when he goes in and he comes home shattered from all the fun he has had. The staff are professional and personal and I truly felt happy entrusting my puppy into their care. Thank you x
We can’t recommend Barklay Park highly enough! Our sprocker has been enjoying days at Barklay since he was a puppy and always has the best time. All the staff are kind and compassionate with both us and our dog. They have always been flexible and accommodating with any last minute requests, which makes juggling parenthood and work alongside dog ownership so much easier.
My cockapoo Bramble has been going to Barklay park for the last two years. They are absolutely brilliant with her and I wouldn’t be able to manage having her without them. They are extremely helpful, have an excellent pickup and drop off service, and have so much outdoor grassy space for the dogs. The staff are lovely, very kind and helpful.
1st time this morning with my 6m labrador Beryl 💕 so easy, and just the most perfect facility, to let her run, play and be free. Our new favourite place 😍 …
A good secure field you can hire by the hour to let the dogs run free without worrying about them escaping. A tree trunk for interest, a paddling pool and tap for those hot days and a shed to shelter from the rain. All you need is your flask of tea.
Our dog loves the place...... She has been to Puppy play time, day care and the free range fields. Staff members so good with her, they know what they doing
I cannot sing Barklay Park's praises enough! We have used their Thank Puppy It's Friday service for our collie cross pup. She wasn't very confident around other dogs when she was small and BP were so attentive to ensure she socialised well but didn't get overwhelmed. We started with shorter sessions and built up to the full morning. She came back from every session happy and exhausted, and staff always gave us an update on how she'd been. The photos that BP post on Facebook were an amazing added bonus - they took this beautiful portrait of her last month! BP were absolutely instrumental in our puppy's socialisation and helping her develop into the happy, confident 6 month old pup that she is now! We will be back as soon as she's been spayed!
We've been to a few dog parks around Edinburgh and this is by far their favourite. Lots of space to run, tractor tires to play in and it's used enough that there's lots of interesting smells for them. They're only ready to leave after an hour because they're tired and happy.
Hired the activity field for our 3 dogs to have a safe, secure run off leash. They loved it 😍 lots of runnings & sniffings. 3 very happy sighthounds. …

We picked Clyde up after leaving him with Silverwitch for a long weekend. Yet again he was looked after so well meaning we could relax and not worry whilst away. The staff are so lovely. We will definitely be back & highly recommend these kennels.
Our young golden retriever has stayed at Silverwitch a few times, for short and long stays. The staff have been very attentive to his needs as occasionally he’s needed medication administered and been on restricted exercise, all of his needs have been accommodated with no issues. He always goes in and comes out very happy. It’s lovely seeing photos of him having fun with his dog pals during his stays.
Our two Golden Retrievers are regular visitors to Silverwitch. They are very well looked after in a beautiful setting. The Silverwitch team are excellent.
Silverwitch is a five star location for anyone's family dog looking for a temporary home. A recent second stay at Silverwitch for our spaniel Ghillie was again very successful. The standard of the kennels are excellent and Laura's very caring team are there to keep order (as best they can when dealing with a couple of dozen visitors all barking at once).
We were very impressed by the care offered by Silverwitch for our 2 labs who had never been in kennels before and were very content and seemed to have a lovely time with lots of new friends! I would definitely use silverwitch again and would recommend
We couldn't be happier with the care our dog receives at Silverwitch Kennels - every time we pick him up, he's happy, healthy, and pleasantly exhausted from all the exercise. The staff is attentive and ensures each dog gets the attention and activity they need. It's a relief to know our dog is in good hands. Highly recommend!
Our Daisy is so well looked after when she is with the Silverwitch ladies. 5 star kennels indeed. We love seeing the pictures of Daisy at play when we are away. Rob & Sheila. and of course Daisy.
Silverwitch kennels is a well organised dog hotel where the guests are looked after with care and kindness. The doggy guests are given lots of walks and for our big girl this makes her very happy. I would have no hesitation in recommending Silverwitch to prospective customers.
Our dogs are very happy going to stay at Silverwitch Kennels. It’s great we have found this team who care about the dogs and look after them so well. Highly recommend ❤️
Eddie was really well looked after and enjoyed his stay. The care and attention given to the dogs is first rate. This was his first time and will definitely be back.

Brilliant place with super helpful staff and very flexible with requests and changes. Nothing is ever too much and it is clear they enjoy their work! And the dogs clearly love it as well.
We love love love Dogtastic, Lyn and her team are outstanding. Our dog is our wee baby and I feel so comforted knowing that he is in the best of hands on days where we are at work. They’re so accommodating, adding extra days here and there is no hassle and even looking after him when we are on holiday. If you’re looking for somewhere for your dog to go have the best day and be treated like part of the family, dogtastic is the place to go!! Xx
Dogtastic are just the best 🤩 We have been using Dogtastic just under a year now after being recommended by a friend. The service Lyn and the team provide is just excellent. They pick up in the morning and drop back of in the evening with no issues. Always put posts up on Facebook of the dogs which is great and the facilities are just fab! Our dog Jock loves it 🐶 Lyn is always so helpful when we are unsure on things we ask and always get help 👍
Professional dog walking service we’ve used for 9 years. Lyn is extremely passionate about dogs which is reflected in her great team of walkers, the way the business is run and how her facility has grown over the years to what it is today. Her team are respectful of your house when they pick up and drop off and we trust them implicitly. The dogs have short pick up routes and the focus is actually on the walks and getting them to socialize rather than being hearded around Edinburgh for hours in the back of a vehicle. It’s genuinely great to have watched this company grow to where it is today with Lyn’s hard work, passion and drive.
Amazing doggie day care centre, Lyn & her team are devoted to dogs, taking them on a variety of walks. My dog loves going there & it's been perfect for his socialisation. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Bear our beautiful boy has been with Dogtastic for only 3 weeks and already he has become part of the Dogtastic family! Bear is excited to see Sam, Lyn and all his doggy friends and comes home ready for a nap after a fantastic fun filled day! Bear is so well looked after and I have been so impressed, not only with the professionalism of Lyn and Sam, but the commitment and genuine love of dogs! Cannot recommend Dogtastic enough!!
The Dogtastic Team spearheaded by Lyn are just fabulous. Hector has been in her experienced and loving care since he was 16 weeks old - he is now 7! Check out Instagram page to see for yourself what fun days they have.
I love this place, I've never seen so many dogs having so much fun together. Brilliant staff who genuinely love their work...wish I could join them 🐶♥️ …
The most fantastic Doggy Daycare. My dogs love it and Lynn and the girls always go above and beyond.
Excellent dog daycare. Professional staff, they know what they are doing, dogs are looked after and have a wonderful time.

My super anxious, tiny little rescue dog has been going to the play center 1-2 days a week for about a year and he LOVES it. Loves the dogs but as he’s now an older gent, mostly enjoys cuddles from the lovely people who work there and watch the dogs. From pick up and drop off to a report card and pictures/videos, he is in such good hands with Alicia and her staff. I’ve also free-sleep boarded him with Alicia’s team (short weekends all the way up to 9 nights), and he is so taken care of and happy when he gets to have sleepovers there. Would definitely recommend!
*Day care* Alicia and her team are the best. Our energetic cockapoo puppy has been attending the day care since its opening day, and we couldn't be happier. Alicia truly cares for each and every dog, and takes the time to get to know them and understand them. What really makes her day care different (and better) than all others is that she (and her team) carefully and lovingly teach doggy manners to make sure every dog is comfortable and safe. The picture updates are a great bonus, too. Our boy comes home tired and happy every time!
We have a tricky little rescue dog who we never thought would be able to go to a doggy daycare… until we met Alicia! Now our dog goes every week to daycare, has started to play with the other dogs and loves to get cuddles from the staff there. We always know she’s in safe hands and will be securely dropped off at home. This has been a life changer for us! Thanks team!
My puppy has been going to Alicia's for a couple of months and he absolutely loves it. Personally, I love the little summary I receive at the end of the day with pictures and videos, and I feel safe leaving my dog in the Alicia's capable hands.
Alicia, Andreia, and the rest of the team are so good. They not only take such good care of our manic energy bundle, Smokey, but are always so communicative and professional. The stories and pictures they send about the dogs is extremely sweet and always a great part of the day. Best part of the day though is when Smokey comes home tired from all the rambunctious play. Cannot possibly recommend Alicia strongly enough.
These guys really care about integrating your dog into their walking group and they do in-walk training that helps the more nervous dog adjust. Andreia has done great work with Rusty and his general dog interaction has been much improved since the group walks began. Plus constant feedback and photos from the walkers. Thanks Alicia and crew.
Our little Leo loves his days with Alicia’s House of Paws and comes back well exercised and ready for a snooze 👌 Great service, lovely people and we are really delighted to have the regular dog walking service to help us out during a busy working week. We think he’s a better rounded dog as a result 🥰 …
Jolly goes to Alicia's House of Paws about once a week depending when my partner goes to the office. I love that she's able to play outdoors all day (although there is a summer House for cold days) meeting up with her doggy pals. Staff are always helpful and respond quickly on WhatsApp. We get photos, videos and a review of the day it's great to see what she's up to when I'm not around! Thanks Alicia and team!
Melissa looked after my wee boy Caspian during end stage heart failure. He needed multiple tablets and 2 injections daily and was not the easiest cat. Melissa managed with ease and Caspian really loved her visiting. Now she continues to look after my other kitties who equally enjoy her company and she is the first sitter I have found who I completely trust. I would highly recommend.
Fantastic doggy daycare. Cleo is a rescue dog that did not have a lot of confidence when first starting, but the staff have been brilliant with her and now she loves being there :)

Our 1 year old cockapoo has been going to Meadowhill for day care once a week for just over 3 months. The staff are excellent, so friendly and happy to answer any questions you might have. Our dog bounds out to the centre without even looking back to say goodbye. I can see him running round with all his friends outside as I leave the car park. It’s really helped to socialise him too.
My black cocker spaniel Jory has attended Meadowhill for almost six years. Firstly because she and my grandchildren were very young and needed protection from each other. They have grown up to be besties together. My dog does have separation anxiety, no sign of that when she trots in for a day at Meadowhill. Staff are approachable and friendly and it’s a great place for Jory to spend a day with her doggy friends.
Cassi has only been going to Meadowhill for around 2 months and I was very nervous after a bad experience elsewhere, I can honestly say they are amazing and made me feel so confident on cassies settle in days. She now runs out the car every time as she knows exactly how much fun she is going to have socialising with all the other fab doggy’s!🐶
We have been using Meadowhill Dog Day Care just a few months shy of 7 years. The staff are wonderful with our slightly anxious cockapoo. They show her great attention and affection and this makes us happy leaving her as she gets to play with her other fury friends under a watchful eye. We highly recommend Meadowhill to friends and people looking for a reputable dog day care service, where the team are caring, attentive and interactive with the dogs. This is reassuring for any pet owner to know your baby is in safe hands!
Our miniature schnauzer loves his time at Meadowhill. Greeted with a warm smile and welcome. He happily trots off and is collected tired and happy to return. Staff always friendly, caring and knowledgeable. Very happy to recommend Meadowhill Dog Day Care.
I love going to Meadowhill. My humans have chauffeured me there for the past few years. I enjoy meeting my friends for a chase around the play area, my favourite spot is the tyre. The humans at Meadow hill are very caring and friendly. They help us take selfies to show our humans our adventures. I feel very lucky to play there and would give it five paws🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
River has been attending Meadowhill since she was 6 months old. She's now 3 and loves the time she spends here each week. She always comes home a happy tired girl after a hard day playing with her friends! Excellent, friendly staff who are always happy to help, would highly recommend.
Meadowhill is fantastic! My dog has been coming here for 2 years now and absolutely loves it. He always bounces out the car ready to go and play with his doggy pals for the day while I go to work. Highly recommend Meadowhill.
MAC absolutely loves coming here. He really misses his doggie and human friends when he’s not there. I fully recommend Meadowhill if you’re looking for day care 👍 …
Our dog Oryn has been going to Meadowhill for about 3 years now and absolutely loves it! He gets excited when the car turn the corner at the top of the road as he knows where he is going and can't wait to get out and run inside. They have an outdoor play area, a deck area and a cosy area inside, so the dogs have a great choice of what to do and a rest area when needed. The staff there are all very friendly, take great care of your dogs and they put regular posts on the Facebook page, so you can see what your dogs been up to. I would highly recommend Meadowhill.

Ruth at PetStay is an absolute legend. Every time I’ve needed to book our toller in she’s linked us up with a wonderful carer (same family every time luckily, our dog loves them). She also linked a family members dog up with a carer a week before our wedding when there were no other options which saved the day. Fab service and can’t praise enough 😊
Could not recommend Petstay or Ruth highly enough. Immediately felt at ease during our first meeting with Ruth and Ann & Les. It is very obvious they love dogs and Max could sense that too as was not bothered when we left him. Regularly updated with photos & videos of his adventures. Max had a ball. He can't wait for his next visit in a few weeks.
Avoid, avoid, avoid. Pet Stay said they could cover a weekend for me. Booked to meet a carer - I had to take a day annual leave because the carer’s availability was so limited. Pet Stay cancelled this at short notice. They then rebooked me with someone else. This was also then cancelled. Spent a month wasting time emailing back and forth in total. This seems like a really disorganised and unreliable company - I’d not trust them with my dog.
No pet sitter availability in EH5/6/7/8/9 Post codes.
Fantastic service, I will be using Petstay for my dogs whenever I’m out of town.
My dogs didn't even want to come home with me, highly recommend!

I always go to Candidacasa when I go on holidays, I collected my 2 dogs today (Golden Retriever and Cocker Spaniel) and they were in great form after just being groomed. I think the price is fair and I'm always happy knowing they are being looked after well
Our extremely energetic Doberman loves visiting the kennel, loves staying over and he has a lot of playtime, so much so that he is tired and want to sleep at 6pm. Will recommend to anyone who needs to go somewhere and needs a dog loving family to watch over there furry child. 5star without a doubt. Love you all.
Staff at Candidacasa are fantastic! My dog goes to day boarding or overnights depending on my shifts at work and they are always accommodating and my dog loves it there. I have been taking my dog there for almost 5 years and I have never had an issue. Could not recommend more!
Our 3 year old boy, James, has just returned home after spending almost one month at Candidacasa. As usual he thoroughly enjoyed his holiday and he has been looked after so well! He is in fantastic condition physically and mentally. We cannot recommend Candida highly enough. Huge thanks to Jenny for her fantastic work!!
We had left our 3 huskys and 1 great dane with candidacasa kennels for 11 days and would definitely book them in here again. They have had a great time down there while we were on holiday. Staff are lovely and very helpful, friendly. Dogs have came back smelling lovely and looking very clean. Will definitely be using their service again and highly recommend the company to friends and family.
Have boarded our wee dog in here, a couple of times, and can truthfully say, she loves it. They take such good care of the dogs, she gets plenty of walks and stimulation, but most importantly, she gets lots of attention n hugs. Wont go anywhere else x
Have just collected my 20-month sprocker after her 10-day stay. She's looking great and is her normal 'exuberant' self. This is the first time that I have used Candida Casa Boarding Kennels (recommended by local vets.) Thank you for looking after her so well. Will see you again (hopefully,if you have space for her) the next time I come North (from Suffolk) to visit family.
I have used Candidacasa twice now for my 2 dogs. The staff are very professional and approachable. Both my dogs love it there, they always come out smelling lovely and always look happy and well fed. The place is spotless and dogs are well looked after. I have made advance bookings for them. Glad I found this place, I know I can trust that my babies are well looked after. Thank you guys so much, you do a great job.
Affordable, dogs and cat seem happy and safe. Nothing else I csn ask for.
My dog went here for 4 nights and was like a different Dog when I arrived for him , he was scared withdrawn and definitely not happy or comfortable. He was kept in a grubby cage outside for 4 days not a bit off exercise and a very unhappy chap . I called day 2 to be told he was doing great and had cuddles from staff , then on pick up day to be told he was not great and was gruelling at staff no one had been near him the whole stay !!! ( this would be completely out off character as he is so happy and friendly all the time .) The lady could no answer why I had been lied too .. Then owner called when I arrived home asking to talk .. I was fuming my dog had not been look after he was a nervous wreck when he came home peeing and edgy in house for a couple days . The owner was not happy I had been told the truth and continued not make up more rubbish .,it’s the fact they lied when I called as I had arrangements for himto be picked up if this was the case This place is not a safe place for your pets .
