Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
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 :)
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Ana's been cat-sitting for our pet for four years now. She's everything you'd want in a pet-sitter: responsible, professional, communicative, and most of all very caring and sweet with our cat. She's also pointed out when there seem to be any issues with our cat, which is really helpful and says a lot about her thoroughness and care as a sitter. I actively have been recommending her to everyone I know in Lausanne with a cat who needs someone reliable to take care of them while they're on vacation. Thank you Ana! So glad we found you.
Ana has been taking care of my 2 cats every time I travel for the past 5 years. She is trustworthy, reliable and communicative, sending pictures and updates on the cats frequently. She also pays attention and reports suspicious/abnormal behaviors (signs of diarrhea, pee outside the litter box, eating less than usual, etc) — and has at times done some extra visits to check on their well-being after such incidents. Leaving your apartment’s key and the well-being of your pets to a stranger is a delicate matter, and I’m happy that Ana has become a friend over the years and seen my family evolve and grow.
Ana is the best pet sitter I ever had! Loving and caring, she’s trustworthy and flexible. My dog loves her because she treats it as if would be her own pet. I highly recommend her services. Thank you, Ana, for being so nice and flexible.
We travel a lot and without any worries as my 2 cats are getting taken care if by Phoebe and Friends in the most perfect way since 5 years…. A reliable, professional and great service and I recommend it to everybody! Ana is taking care of my two babies and they love her!
Ana is a lovely and kind pet sitter. She truly loves the dogs and even goes out of her way to pamper them on special occasions. She is a trained dog groomer as well and does a great job in making the little furballs be neat, clean and look awesome!
Ana has cared for my 2 little yorkies keeping them overnight and also grooming them. I trust her implicitly with my dogs as it is rare to meet someone so caring and reliable. If she takes care of your pets, they will indeed be in very good hands and you can rest assured that they will be safe and happy.
Ana is a godsend! She is so good with our Lucy and Lucy loves her as well. Its so rare to find a dogsitter who is dedicated and loves her client like Ana. Even for overnight boarding Ana welcomes Lucy as if she was part of the family! We couldnt recommend Ana enough!
Ana was unreliable, I contacted her end of the morning, she agreed on keeping my dog for 3 hours for the following afternoon and at the end of the day she cancelled. While she agreed after a few basic questions (the dog breed, age, dog behaviour) she was dishonest afterwards saying that if she cancelled it is because she doesn’t accept dog she doesn’t know. Also her price was very high 20chf/ h.
I had the chance to meet Ana, she is a reliable pet sitter. She took care of my adorable little Malou (cat) during the holidays, went there three times a week, fed her, cleaned the litter box, gave her fresh water and a little affection. I highly recommend his services.
Hello everybody! Ana really has a love for animals and I'm glad she works with pets because that's what she loves, working with these angels from heaven! I recommend it to you!
Cindy is the absolute best. She cares so much about the animals she takes care of. She is super responsive, keeps us up to date on our cats while we are away with pictures and videos, and she makes scheduling easy and organized. One time (not when she was responsible for our cats) one of our cats went missing for a few days and she went above and beyond to connect us or connect for us with local veterinarians, online groups, posting boards where we could put word out about our missing cat. She also checked in with us every day until he returned safely home just because she cares.
I have been leaving my puppy at Bien Dans Ses Papattes for a few months and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful place for him. Cindy is amazing and I know my furry friend is being looked after with love and care. Great service, I highly recommend!! Thank you so much !
We left our golden retriever late last year for a long weekend. Our beloved Evie returned with a bite in her mouth and in her ear which was not openly discussed when we picked her up. At the price which is quite high, we expected better care and communication.
My two girls Zara and Zoe, one a senior and the other still a pup both were very happy during their visit. They loved being outside in a big garden with lots of space to run and play. Well looked after in a home, family environment.
Being the human of a little dog from Romania who is anxious and has many sensitivities, I was worried about finding a boarding facility where her needs and fears would be respected, and where daily work would not be ruined. Cindy was recommended to me and she is a gem! Sauge has been going there for short stays as well as vacations for over two years, and I couldn't live without it. This is summer camp for her! She cries when I tell her "we're going to Cindy's", and often doesn't even want to leave. Cindy takes care of him as if he were her own, gives him his medication, sends me videos regularly, and even teaches him to manage some of his fears. When you have an anxious dog, it's a lot of daily management. Being able to leave Sage and know that whatever happens, she is in good hands, and that I can enjoy 100% of my moments without her, is a luxury. Whether you have a sensitive little one or not, I can only recommend Cindy (and her mother), who admirably manages all these little people in a caring and enlightened education. Thank you Cindy ❤️
Well in one's paws is the ideal place for a dog's well-being. Cindy is a person completely devoted to her dogs whom she adores and they reciprocate! My two dogs from Romania were welcomed with open arms and are always happy to spend their holidays there. Cindy is a reliable person and gives very good advice. We can count on her. In case of problems she always gives very good advice and finds solutions. She is very professional and she gives a lot of love to all the dogs. The place is magnificent. Everything is brought together in this place to make dogs feel good. Cindy how lucky my dogs and I are to know you!!
I thank Cindy for welcoming my young Pyrenees shepherd Malu so that he can get used to staying a few hours without me and enjoying the heavenly environment of the little house and its large garden. Malu immediately loved playing with all his friends. Cindy received us with open arms, with a lot of tenderness, availability and patience for my ball of fur. His passion and professionalism for dogs is incredible. Thank you with all my heart.
A simply incredible family pension, like home even better. Total trust in Cindy who listens to each dog and understands them better than anyone. I had the chance to meet her for our little one and I can never thank her enough for everything she has already given our dog. A big thank you for this love you have for dogs
Cindy is a professional in her profession, she welcomes and takes care of dogs wonderfully. Always very attentive and despite the difference in size, age and race, all these little people find their place and evolve in a large park as they please under the always vigilant gaze of Cindy. I have a little bichon who gets along with both young and old. I always admire Cindy for the joy she has in taking care of all these little ones and I thank her for so much dedication. Chantal Caruso
I cannot recommend Cindy's services highly enough. My Toddy looks forward to every visit. As soon as we approach the house, he starts to quiver with happiness, and that says a lot about the affection he receives! Cindy's kindness and flexibility really creates a great environment for our little Todd, who is very exhausted at the end of each day (and yes, it's tiring to have fun with friends!). Thank you so much Cindy!
Every time I leave, I entrust my cat to Sarah because I know that she takes good care of him and that he is in good hands. Sarah is an excellent professional, always attentive, dedicated, very friendly. Many thanks Sarah.
In a word: EXCELLENT! You can trust him with your eyes closed. My furballs are taken care of and it reassures me every time I entrust them to him 🥰 …
I am delighted with his very professional work! My cats are confident, so I can go away on weekends knowing that they will be pampered. The grooming was perfect too, thank you!
We entrust our cat Lola to him whenever we are away. We feel that she is a professional, lover of animals. We trust him with our eyes closed. THANKS !
Very good work, very professional and 100% reliable. To recommend without hesitation for the greater good of our furry ones.
Trustworthy person, available and attentive. I leave without worries, far from my animals with confidence. Many thanks!
At the top! Trustworthy, pleasant, dynamic person, always smiling, attentive and loving towards animals. My dog loves it :-)
I can only recommend Happy Pet's. Professional, conscientious, dedicated, everything our animals need when we are away. I am delighted and thank her
A marvel for my animals. Very professional and very friendly. Quality service.
Professional and attentive, I recommend without hesitation!!
Melis and her team have set up a fantastic new day care focused around the dogs and their needs. The facilities are great and the amount of thought and care of the team is evident. The communication , and responsiveness has been very helpful as well. Is really easy to book and pay online. Thanks Woofy for creating a space like this for dogs in Lausanne where i feel my little weirdo will be well taken care of.
I brought my Shiba Umi to Woofy and it went super well! Umi was not stressed at all and she quickly took these marks. The staff is super welcoming, professional and attentive to the needs of the dog and the owner. In addition, it is a pension different from the others, there are several rooms whether for rest, games, socialization etc. And a little more the long walks with friends and especially the news of your dog at all times. Umi was delighted with this experience and so was I! Thanks to Melis and all her team for taking such good care of my dog ! I would come back with Umi for sure! 🙏🏼
I absolutely cannot praise Woofy enough! Melis and the entire team consistently go above and beyond to ensure that my dog Cumin has the time of his life during each visit. Their exceptional expertise, care, and genuine love for all the dogs they care for truly shines through. The facility is thoughtfully designed with a variety of interactive rooms that cater to different needs. If you're a pet parent in search of the perfect daycare, Woofy is your place!! 🐶
Woofy in Lausanne has been a fantastic daycare for our dog, who absolutely loves it there. The facility's structure ensures a safe and fun environment, and we plan to bring him again soon.
Woofy is the best place in Lausanne you can drop your dog for half or full day of stay they are not going to regret! Amazing staff, location perfectly furbished and equipped with all the possible toys and stimuli for our beloved dogs (and even more). What you can find here are competencies, trainings, passion and love for dogs. Really well done and looking forward to let Trudy stay with you again! :)
Extremely professional service, we couldn't be more satisfied!
I booked a discovery morning for my dog and I was extremely satisfied of the professionalism and care ! Thanks 🙏 Nala loved it and we will be back soon 🙌 …
We brought our little staffie, Nala, for the introductory morning and were made to feel very welcome. The session began with a 30-minute discussion about our dog's character. During the morning, we were able to follow the activities on Instagram: walk, wading in a pool and a lesson in learning how to lie down properly. When we went to pick her up, we received a little update on her character and her morning. Nala was of course exhausted after so much activity. Very satisfied and we will use their services in the future! We recommend!
Woofy loves our furry companions and this is felt as soon as you set foot in this hotel for dogs. Everything is done to ensure that our dog's stay goes well: a first interview to discuss and introduce Woofy's places. Then we learn that our dog will have walks, exercises and sensory activity! Excellent, you are the solution for people who love their animals. Thank you for making your stay at Spyke a great one. We had a peaceful stay and we were happy for our dog. Thanks Woofy 🐶
AWESOME! Since opening, we have entrusted our little Maki to Melis and the whole team. They are super attentive to his needs and his character, give him a lot of affection and offer lots of stimulating activities. He is always happy to go back. We completely trust the entire team and recommend Woofy with our eyes closed!
Very disappointing experience. Like many dog owners, we were first and foremost looking for a trustworthy person to take care of our animal in our absence. Unfortunately, it was trust that was lacking the most: shortened or sometimes non-existent walks (without informing us), increasingly frequent lies, etc. This person abused our trust and it deteriorated over time. The height of malice: faced with her failings, she stopped overnight providing the service that had been contracted and refused to reimburse the amounts for which payment was required in advance. The complete opposite of a serious and professional service. Avoid at all costs!
We used the services of Thepetsparadise, more precisely Alessandra, for walking our dog. Unfortunately, we had to end this collaboration prematurely due to several shortcomings: Lack of reliability: Alessandra did not provide the agreed walks on several occasions, without warning us in advance. Reimbursement problems: Following the termination of the contract, Alessandra refused to give us the walks already paid for for the month of July and to reimburse us for the amounts paid in advance. We are forced to initiate legal proceedings to recover the amounts owed.
I used Alessandra's ThePetParadise services and was extremely disappointed. My dog's walks were frequently shortened or even canceled without any notice. Despite the termination of the contract, Alessandra, who always asked me to be paid 1 month in advance, refused to reimburse me the amounts due for the services not provided. His behavior is both unprofessional and dishonest. I strongly advise against using his services.
Very good quality welcome and service. Very affectionate and very professional towards dogs. Always available to provide valuable advice. Real enthusiasts!
Very professional and attentive, established good contact with my dog. Thank you Allesandra for your kindness and all your advice, my dog has learned a lot, he has progressed well.
Best dog trainer in the region, attentive and so gentle with the animals. I recommend it to you with my eyes closed.
