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.

Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
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.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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!
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!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
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 Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least £15 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
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 Sittsy 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!
Great place for daycare or overnight boarding. All the dogs are happy, secure and well cared for. A great big enclosed field enabling them to run free for a few hours each day. Tony is fantastic with all the dogs - kind, but firm. Pets couldn't be in better hands.
Tony looked after my dog Toffee for around 2 years. My rescue dog is terrified of men and new people but This didn’t faze him at all and Toffee grew to love going to Jolly dogs and always got excited when she saw Tony. We have moved house now and trying to find a new doggy day care is proving hard, we miss you Jolly dogs!!! 🐶💖
Take my Rescue Dobie Gsd X to Tony's (Jollydogs), couple of times a week, I was a bit hesitatant at first, just because of her size & wasn't totally sure of her background and how she'd react to other dogs, but she loves it there, gets a huge paddock to charge around in, off the lead, like Tony's approach to the pack, which range from the biggest to the smallest dogs, without any trouble amongst them. She always sleeps well after her daycare session.
Even though he was fully booked he was extremely helpful. New to the area so he suggested some great dog walking places. Well done and will have to book earlier next time.
Jolly Dogs is amazing. I swear that Tony is a dog whisperer and my dog, Bea, completely adores him and enjoys spending time with him and the other lucky and jolly Dogs
Tony has been looking after my dog for years now due to anxiety of being left on his own. great service great for socialising and comes home Happy and tired.
Toby loves going to Jolly Dogs. He's been going since a puppy and Is very happy to be left there even though he's a nervous dog
Love this place from day one they have looked after my boarder collie so well... He litterly drags me to there door in the morning.... Thank you Tony love this place so friendly and brilliant :D
Pixie and Sruffy have always enjoyed their stay, thanks
A home from home for your furry friends - Fred very happy here always - thanks Tony 😊🐾❤️
I used Julie to bond out rabbits after myself trying with no success. Our bunnies proved to be a hard work and Julie never gave up on them. Now we have our two rabbits back at home after nearly a month away bonding. I can never recommend Julie enough. It’s an exceptional and affordable rabbit bonding professional. I would take my rabbits again if they need accommodation or rebonding!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Five stars all the way! 🙌🏼 I cannot recommend Julie enough! Right from the first communication I knew my boys would be safe in her hands. She really, really knows her stuff! She was amazing at communicating with me and sent me daily photos and videos. She even got my really picky boy to eat greens for the first time! 😍 I had failed 3 times at trying to re-bond my tricky trio of boys and Julie managed to do it without any dramas! I'd almost lost hope for my bunnies and was going to keep them as a pair and a loan bun but I'm so happy to say I've got all 3 boys home and living together! Julie was so accommodating when it came to moving my booking and keeping them longer as I was moving house. It was absolutely worth every single penny! Julie is reasonably priced and clearly cares a lot about every bunny she takes into her home. I don't know what else I can say other than thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️ I'm absolutely over the moon!
I dropped my 3 bunnies off recently for bunny bonding into a trio, Julie did an amazing job! Julie was great and updated me throughout their stay and sent me lots of helpful tips for keeping their bond strong once I took them home. Would highly recommend!! :-)
Julie took excellent care of our 3 bunnies for a 1 week bonding stay. She updated us every day with how things were progressing and send pictures and videos which really put our minds at ease. Julie clearly knows bunnies better than anyone and she did a fantastic job bonding our two boys with our girl. I would recommend Julie to anyone who needs help bonding their bunnies or just for a standard boarding stay :)
We can't thank Julie enough for rebonding our 18 month old Dutch sisters. They were separated at 1 year following very poor vet advice when one was ill and fought badly when we attempted rebonding a few months later. I drove 150 miles from Manchester and it was absolutely worth it. Julie was amazing - calm, knowledgeable, reassuring and kept us up to date with clips and messages during their 10 day stay. She really is an expert and a bunny whisperer. We now have two very happy bunnies, living calmly and happily together again. Thank you so much!!!
Julie successfully bonded our two boys Earl Grey and Whiskey, she is absolutely wonderful and extremely knowledgeable about rabbits. Before we brought them to her for bonding (and boarding) both rabbits were so aggressive towards each other that I honestly doubted that there was even the slightest chance of them bonding. Julie patiently responded to all my questions and gave me plenty of useful advice before I even booked the boys in. When we dropped them off, I felt absolutely confident leaving them in her care. She updated us on the progress throughout, with messages, pictures and even videos. It is thanks to her that we now have two happy bunnies who are totally in love with each other, and seeing them together, whether it’s grooming each other or just relaxing next to each other makes me so happy. Whether you’re looking for boarding or bonding, I can wholeheartedly recommend Julie and have my boys already booked in for our next holidays.
Brilliant service. Fantastic care. Great start to my bunnies bonding journey. I was kept updated continuously and she took care of my rabbits like they were her own. If you are struggling to bond your rabbits or just don't feel comfortable doing it yourself I highly recommend going to Julie at Derrick's Den.
Absolutely fantastic, our bunnies were bonded here and well looked after. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to any other bunny owners and will come back if we need our buns looking after whilst we are away
Julie is amazing! She helped to bond my 4 naughty nethies in to a quad -- she was incredibly conscientious and took the time to read all my notes and chat to me about my bunnies. She was understanding of our needs and little preferences and I have 4 happy, healthy bunnies now living in a little troop together!
Julie is absolutely fantastic. Professional, full of great advice, and so committed. We loved getting photos of our pair, and felt they were looked after in a way which couldn't have been matched. Thanks Julie. You rule!
