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.

"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.
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.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
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.
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.
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!
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
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.
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
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
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!
I have been using Croft Pets (Sue) for quite some time and have absolutely no hesitation in providing this positive review. Both my dogs love going out with Sue and staying in her home. Sue is professional and and provides a fab service which is very much valued by me and my dogs. Thank you!
I regularly use Croft Pet Services for my two bunnies when we have to be away. Sue is brilliant, looks after them so well, such a kind hearted person who you can see just loves the animals. We never worry at all, as Sue is so trusted, we know our pets are in great hands. Highly recommended!
We have used Sue's service when away from home and have always been absolutely delighted with Croft Pets. Reliable, caring and a pleasure to deal with, we could always be confident that our pet was being loved and well looked after. Someone who goes the extra mile and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Sue is very reliable and has great communication. Very trustworthy with our two dogs who she visits regularly for us. It’s a relief knowing they get their mid-day wander!
Fabulous service! Sue walks my dog regularly at least once a week. Also, my dog has stayed with Sue in her home quite happily, even though she is quite a clingy dog, completely indifferent to strangers. Sue’s quiet, calm manner will give reassurance to nervous dogs. Sue is reliable, friendly and professional. We are lucky to have her!
Our cat is quite elderly and needs medication so we worry about leaving her but thankfully we are able to call on Sue at Croft Pet Services. She is very professional and follows your instructions but you can tell that she is also affectionate and caring towards your pet. We would 100% recommend her services.
Our cats adore Sue and when we have to go away it is with complete confidence that they are looked after so well and with kindness. Flexible service which has helped us during extended periods and family emergencies, we cant recommend Croft Pets highly enough.
Thank you so much Sue, for always taking great care of our cat while we are away, it is lovely for him to be able to stay in his home and be comfortable rather than going to a cattery. Everything is kept clean and tidy for us when we get back. You always manage to fit us in even a last minute break at Christmas - Thank you 😊 …
Sue walks our bouncy flat coat Jura weekly, she is reliable and very flexible to our needs for extra walks etc. We love the fact Jura gets a proper off lead run around and Jura is delighted to see Sue. Would definitely recommend.
My dogs, past and present, all love Sue! Reliable and flexible, even at short notice. Highly recommend her.
Playful Paws is one of the most magical places you could take your dogs, and I could not recommend a visit enough! Our Labrador absolutely adores it and gets to fully burn off his energy with his best friends. We get feedback on his day and see photos of what he gets up to. The staff are friendly, attentive and nothing is too much when it comes to your dogs. Our dog used to get too excited on walks when meeting other dogs (he wants to be everyone’s friend) but since visiting PP, he is calmer, much easier to walk, and less overexcited at the site of any other walkers/dogs. He is more calm at home and means he still gets a good bit of exercise in on those busy days when it’s hard to get the time to give them a decent walk! Reasonably priced with block sessions available also! Definitely give them a try!
We had a funeral in Inverness and had difficulties finding care for our two dogs at short notice. Phone call to Playful Paws and it was sorted. Took the dogs along and was very impressed by their set up. Good inside and outside facilities and while I was there there was 1 member of staff to 3 dogs. The real above and beyond service was delivering the dogs back to our hotel. Very tired which was a great sign of the day they had. Will recommend this place to anyone staying in, or visiting Inverness with dogs.
My spaniel pup goes to Playful Paws at least 3 times a week. She bounds in excitedly every morning, and comes homes tired and happy at night. Perfect for us both - don't know what I'd do without them!
Absolutely fantastic dog care here. My dogs had an absolute ball here today; playing with the other dogs and having a great time. I had no concerns whatsoever leaving my precious dogs with Tracie and she kept me updated throughout the day with texts, videos and photos. I would not hesitate to leave them in Tracie’s capable hands again. Thank you Tracie 😊👍🏻
My dogs attend playful paws and absolutely love it. They engage in different games everyday and are definitely much more sociable because of the interaction they receive. Highly recommend.
Fantastic facility with dedicated, knowledgeable staff. Henry loved every minute and we will be back In the future.
Super Doggy Daycare.....Phil and the team are very dedicated to caring for the Dogs. Very professional. Our Ollie loves going... and is always super tired when he gets home. Highly recommended. 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 …
Very happy puppy comes home each week and I could not manage work without this service; friendly and caring staff who know dogs well!
Put my dog to play full paws for Halloween party he had swollen a party balloon then 1rh later he was bitten by another dog he needed 14stitches.The staff where not supervising his group properly as this was shown on the CCTV.Iwould never recommend this company to anyone.And check your contract when you sign i was lucky they paid in full for his vet bills as they were at fault.
They do an amazing job with the dogs, highly recommend it 😀 …
My two boys, Cham and Dyson, went to stay with Viv, Steve & Archie at the end of January 2022. We had a little meet up beforehand to make sure they’d have the best time when they came to stay and it went really well. I had a few organisational issues my end, so I had to keep slightly changing the plan on the run up to their stay. However Viv was very kind and worked with me with all the plan changes. It was comforting to know the boys would be in a lovely friendly home despite whilst we were away. We got lots of lovely photos of the boys throughout and updates on how they were doing. They had an absolutely great time and I will definitely be booking again. I’d also recommend Viv & Steve’s boarding services to anyone who wants to hear! Thanks so much guys, hopefully see you again very soon.
I can not recommended Viv and Steve highly enough!! I genuinely do not know what we would have done without them in our lives! This is Dougal's home from home and he absolutely adores the both of them! As do I!! You will not find a better home boarding home that is for sure! 5 star treatment. Supreme quality, love and treats for any lucky pooch!
Wonderful and super friendly. They spoiled our cheeky dog absolutely rotten on both visits whilst we were on holiday in Portree, which meant we got to experience some of the fabulous restaurants on the island. She even wanted to go back inside when we came to collect her from her overnight stay and walkies!
We booked our dog in for doggy day care while on holiday on Skye. Communication was efficient and clear. The service was very friendly and our dog had a great time. We would definitely recommend Walkies!
Thank you so much for 5 stars! We love your precious wee R & V, of course they are welcome here always. See you very soon xxx
Tsara and Amber are a godsend! After being let down yet again by our usual cat sitter I took a chance with these girls and now I will never use anyone else! They are amazing. They called in on our 2 cats for over 2 weeks while we were away, kept us totally up to date with multiple messages and videos of the boys every single day. Their communications are excellent and their attitude is totally professional. I simply can't recommend them highly enough! Vic & Bob are looking forward to the next time ladies! 😻😻
Tsara and Amber have looked after our cats a few times now and can highly recommend. good communication, pictures of the cats, put your mind at rest and lets you enjoy your break knowing that your cats are being well looked after.
The service the girls provide is brilliant. Lexi gets so excited when they come to collect her, she comes back from her walks tired out and ready for a snooze. Lovely girls with a whole lot of love for every dog they take out. It’s an added bonus watching the walks on their Instagram story every day too.
I'm extremely picky about who can look after my cocker spaniel but from the moment I contacted caNine2five I was reassured by their professionalism, quick informative communication and general all round loveliness. They couldn't have been more patient or caring with Cosmo at the meet and greet and made me feel like I could ask a million questions if I wanted to and that would be totally fine with them. They are punctual, reliable and flexible when it comes to dog walks which has been invaluable. I initially only planned one pack walk a week as I didn't actually need him to go but it was more for him to have fun. On seeing the photos and video clips of the walk I immediately requested two walks a week and he can't get enough of them! The only issue Cosmo has is I haven't got him booked in 7 days a week but he waits at the gate every day just in case it's a pack walking day with Tsara and Amber. If I could give them 6 stars I would because they are that amazing and I feel so so lucky Cosmo has them in his life because they make him feel so special and so happy.
We started using CaNine2five last May and it was one of the best things we did for our boy. He gets so excited every time the van pulls up and we get to see what he is up to on their Instagram stories while he is out. The girls are so accommodating and have helped us out frequently. The added bonus is they take beautiful photographs on every walk. Would wholeheartedly recommend the girls.
Tsara looked after our cat while we were away for three weeks and she was just wonderful- so friendly and responsive and very professional plus always went the extra mile with pics/video every day and even watered the houseplants which was much appreciated :) Always felt reassured that our cat was being well looked after. Many thanks x
The service the girls provide is second to none - friendly, professional and brilliant. Every walk the dogs are taken on is safe and brilliant exercise for the dogs, allowing them all to socialise whilst the girls capture great pics daily of them all!
Theses girls are great! So helpful and accommodating, they always give my dog a fab walk and really look after her !
Great dog walkers. Lupin always has a great time and I love getting pictures and videos of her from the walk.
Very friendly and professional girls and took great care of my dog
I highly recommend Inverness Pet Care. I have used them for about 2 years now and I'm so happy with their service. Monte absolutely loves going out on his walks with Lyndsey and the gang. Her knowledge and experience with dogs is second to none and I feel totally confident that Monte is well looked after whilst in her care. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone!
Trustworthy and reliable dog walking service. My dog Ember looks like she has a great time on walks with Lindsey and she always updates me with pictures ect to let me know how Ember has got on. Would highly recommend Inverness Pet Care!
I can highly recommend "Inverness Pet Care" . Lyndsey looked after our dog for our two weeks holiday period, and even gave update texts as to how our pet was settling in. A very professional dog walking and home based pet care service we will certainly use again.
Amazing lady took great care of our Daisy.
Claire has been taking our staffie for walks for over a year now and what a transformation!! He’s socialised and loves his pack walks with his girlfriends! A lot of his improved behaviour is down to Claire! Our dog is a rescue dog so leaving him with Claire when we’re on holiday is wonderful and puts our minds at ease. We know he’s well looked after and he absolutely loves staying with her. I completely trust her. What more can I say 😘 I can’t speak highly enough about her!
Dillon loves Claire! As well as regular walks he has had numerous holidays at Little Paws, including spending three weeks with her earlier this year and he is booked again for September . He has a great time, we get photos and video clips of all his adventures. Highly recommended by us but, even more importantly by Dillon! Your dog will thank you for it😀!
Kayla has been going on walks with Claire for years and has also had sleepovers. She is so happy and excited to see claire when she comes to take her out 😊claire always take lots of pics of her adventures and takes her on brilliant walks. I cannot fault her services and highly recommend people to use her friendly services!!! …
Claire has been walking my 2 dogs for 3/4 years. My dogs love her and i wouldnt trust anyone else with them x
Claire is amazing . She has looked after our black lab for a few years now. He loves staying with her so much fun ,loads of exercise but always professional.
Joanne has looked after our 6 guinea pigs twice now. She's very knowledgeable with small animals and you can be sure that your pets are in good hands. Will definitely use bluebells patch in the future.
Our rabbits are always looked after well here, feel reassured they are safe and sound when we are away. Nice set kept very clean and Jo very helpful.
Brilliant place, lovely owner who showed my rabbit the most love she could get while we were on holiday. My rabbit settled in great back home as well. Thanks again
It's amazing. I was in a right jam stupidly booking a holiday to the Maldives last minute, I dropped off liy and Zeppelin my rabbits and they were only to Happy to take them, the standard of care was second to none, thanks Bluebell's patch!!!
Took amazing care of my daughters guinea pigs. Definitely recommend.
Lovely home with excellent facilites for the upkeep and care of your pets.
Great for holiday boarding of small pets.
Fantastic service ! Would highly recommend
Have boarded my mastiff/dane at Highland pet care solutions on several occasions and my dog and myself have benefited from training sessions, given can't recommend them enough.
After the best recommendations about Scotsburn Kennels and Cattery, we have been taking Huey to daycare for a few months now, and he absolutely loves it. Recently we decided to leave Huey on an overnight stay, naturally a little nervous 😓, we had nothing to worry about what so ever. The care received is second to none, the team really look after your pooch with the personal touch. We'd be more than happy to book him on a stay over anytime. Thank you so much, we cannot recommend you enough.
just wanted to say thank you to all your family for the amazing care and love that you gave to our fur babies when they had their Christmas holiday with you. amazing how well groomed they all were and we know that lilith had lots of cuddles as we never told you she likes to be cradled like a baby and rocked to sleep in your arms, you told us so this shows that she has had alot of affection from you all. thank you from the Currie family ❤️
Thank you very much for taking after our wee family members for the duration of our special day. They came back smelling lovely and very happy. I think they very much enjoyed their wee vacation away to a new place. It's nice to know there is somewhere save and loving to look after them if we need it.
Most friendly and helpful staff. The kennels are immaculately clean and there is so much space in the runs for them too. Thanks
We boarded our cats and dogs for 10 days. They came home happy, well taken care of and even smelling better than when we dropped them. Facilities are amazing. Thank you so much for providing a home away from home to our furry family!
My dog is always happy to stay with them, I would really recommend this kennel to anyone who wants a safe space for their pets. Many thanks Bev and Andrew
Brody my 3yr GWP went for daycare to see how he got on, before having an overnight stay.. This was due to his separation anxiety, I wasn't sure how he would be. Well, he had the best day and he loved it!!! Andrew was amazing with him and after picking him up he slept all night!! Great place great people 👍 …
Our dog loves her visits, giving us peace of mind while we are away.
Fantastic place. We left our four chihuahuas with them and they were very well looked after. Lovely and clean with beautiful surroundings. Staff are super friendly and would highly recommend.
Dogs seem to love being there and they are treated like family 😀 …
