Secondary school teacher with lots of pet-sitting experience.
Mary did a wonderful job of caring for my dog, two cats and home. I really appreciated Mary's flexibility ahead of the sit, when I made a request to amend the dates, and it was a pleasure being in touch with Mary both ahead of and during her sit. She took time to keep me updated and sent photos too. Wilbur unfortunately had a short-lived tummy bug during my absence, and Mary did a great job of taking excellent care of him. I returned home to a very tidy and clean home, and to happy pets. I'd love to have Mary back again for a longer sit. Highly recommended. Many thanks indeed.

Rachel is very kind and calm and an ideal match for our home. Our dogs took to her immediately and we felt confident leaving them in her hands. When we arrived home a week later the house was immaculate and the dogs were happy and well. Rachel is welcome back to our home anytime.
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.
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!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Our 6yo ex-racing greyhound stayed at Nealand for about 10 days over Christmas and we are very happy with the care provided. Excellent value - would highly recommend them for anyone looking for dog care in Orkney.
Lovely little place and the fella who works there is amazing and went out of his way to help us out in a tricky situation. Our pup is notorious for howling like a banshee when we leave her, but she was happy as Larry with these guys who spent the whole time playing with her to keep her happy and distracted. Thank you so much from us and Rune 😍 would highly recommend!
Happy staff, lovely comfortable heated cat beds. Holiday for your pet home from home.
Great holiday home for dogs and cats they always take great care of your loved ones highly recommended.
Friendly, helpful people, and a well run animal holiday home for pets.
Fabulous kennel for our greyhound Peggy. We received updates from Peggy’s stay, which was really reassuring. It was super easy to arrange drop off and pick up, and timed perfectly with our ferry back to Orkney. When we picked her up, Peggy was really relaxed and settled (not an experience we’ve not had before!) we are so pleased to find somewhere to leave Peggy when we’re on holiday. I can’t recommend Ramscraigs Boarding Kennels enough! 🥰
I was very hesitant about putting my dog into kennels as he had never been in any before, but Eileen went above and beyond (and then some!) to make sure he felt right at home and cared for. I felt relieved knowing he was staying in such kind, capable hands and Eileen kept me up to date on his adventures and how he was doing while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Ramscraigs Kennels to anyone needing kennels and I’m sure my dog can’t wait to go back on his “vacation” to Dunbeath again!
This is without a doubt the best kennel !! Both my dogs love it. One of them wanted to stay 😀 you can't get a better recommendation. They are so well cared for, with all their quirks. I would give it 10 stars. …
This is the second time my Staffy Busta has been to Ramscraigs, he is really well looked after. Dave and Eileen are so understanding of his little habits!! We really wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you for caring for him. Carolyn and Peter Hurst
Our dog Bob is super nervous so we were just trying him out for a night. Jacquie and Laurie were superb with him the asked all the right questions, and look after our boy with great care and affection. We will use them again in the future and would highly recommend the service. They also sent us an update while we were away with a photo of our boy which did cheer us up.
Took my 2 senior nervous dogs to kennels for the first time. We were all made very welcome and I immediately felt in good hands. The dogs were really well understood and cared for. Eileen got the trust of my collie who's wary of people she doesn't know! Will definitely go back.
Hello would like to thank you both for looking after skylar and storm we have always struggled to get the weight on storm are lurcher but you have helped by finding him the right diet. His coat wash shinning and u could see he had put weight on and skylar are husky you had looked after both so well your place had so much for them to do running around your field For the price was great you looked after the two like they where your own and giving them plenty of exercise and food You went well beyond what u normally get in kennels or dog sitters and thank you for getting skylar groomed So THANK YOU BOTH will always be coming up there 10/10 thack you for helping storm with getting weight on
Excellent kennels, really looked after our dog well. He came out very perky & was obviously quite happy there. We will definitely be using again.
I took my very shy rescue dog here for the weekend and they where excellent with him he settled in fine they will go over and beyond to help your loved pet feel at home even sent me a photo and a video to help settle the nerves. my dog will definitely be back now I know he gets looked after very well here highly recommended.
Wonderful care. Both dogs settled really well. I'd give 6 stars if I could
Excellent transport and assistance provided by Michael for my first ever dog! He drove from Sheffield to Canterbury, stopping off at two service stations so my dog could exercise and make some mess! The car used was very smart and comfortable.
I have had the most amazing trip to pick my puppy stray up from Zante and drive all the way back to Yorkshire. My driver/courier, Norman was fantastic. The whole process went smoothly, safely and was a trip of a lifetime. They organised every last detail to ensure the dog and myself were comfortable and well looked after. Highly recommend this fantastic company. Expensive but SO well worth it. Thank you.
I travelled with my dog from Sweden to Wales. They were very professional and organised and even remembered our names when we would call. No issues with booking etc. Were given plenty of information and contacted by the driver days before which was reassuring. He arrived in a branded van and clothes which reassured me (I am a young woman) and was very professional throughout. The van was clean and well equipped for transporting my dog and we took regular breaks around every 4 hours. Well worth the money and would definitely use c four paws again. Thanks/Diolch!
We had Milo collect from London on Sunday with two cages and a carry cage and lots of toys. Milo was perfectly happy and items were in good order. Collected on time and delivered on time. Excellent service and driver was very nice. Highly recommended for animal transport. Will definitely use again if the need arises. Good job thank you
Calagran Four Paws and my driver Will were absolutely amazing at handling our cross country transport for a long distance move. Having a rather large Staffy x Old Tyme, who had sadly had to be exempted due to her size, I was even terrified to take her on the road in anything other than proper transport. And with it being such a long way I wanted a safe long distance option also for all round safety and comfort. Our needs were catered for with the upmost care and Will was absolutely amazing with my nervousness and with my lovely girls nervy nature. I couldn't have been happier and I plan to travel with them again. I can highly recommend them.
I highly recommend this company. I just endured an incredibly stressful and long importation process into Europe and finally into the UK with my 3 med/large breed dogs. CFourPaws went above and beyond to help me logistically with things they really didn't have to and was outside of their services. Provided much needed emotional support and were empathetic to my unforeseen financial costs. Really without people like Keith and Greig, I may have crumbled under the stress of it all. BIg animal lovers, BIG hearts and can't fault them. Thanks CFourPaws x
I have been bringing my dogs here for a few years now. They are always happy to come back and I love that the kennels share photos with you of your pets. The drop-off was very useful
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. In a medical emergency you were the first kennels we found after literally 100's of phone calls with spare capacity to take Casper while his mum had an emergency operation to remove a brain tumour. The 10x photo's you sent us showing him happy & thoroughly enjoying a run in the secure field were a huge relief to his dad & a massive boost to his mum's immediate recovery.
We recently used C Four Paws to transport our dog Adi from Glasgow to Heathrow for her trip home to Canada. David was a very kind and professional driver and got us to the Kennel at Heathrow on time in spite of some unavoidable traffic delays along the way. We’re back home with Adeline safe and sound and are very grateful for having used the services of your company and David for the first leg of our trip.
An absolute lifesaver when it came to transporting me and my cats from Dublin to Somerset. There was fantastic communication the entire time during the booking process and our driver Clive was incredible! They made what was a very stressful move for me and my cats, a very easy time and I cannot thank Clive and the whole team enough.
