Responsible, caring couple: lots of animal experience and excellent references
Gill and Peter were excellent pet sitters and cared for Whiskey really well. We have come back to a clean tidy home and a happy dog. Thanks both. Would recommend.

Professional couple available for house and pet sitting around the world.
This was our second house sit for Inka and we were delighted with how it went. Ali and Matt were lovely and are clearly highly experienced dog sitters. They made a great bond with Inka and took her on some lovely walks and trips. She even has new toys. Both Ali and Matt were very self-sufficient. Communication was just right- not too much or too little and we were able to thoroughly enjoy our holiday without any worries. We would be delighted to have Ali and Matt back in the future.

We are a British couple on a gap decade, full time pet sitting around the world
We really appreciated that Tammy and Mark arrived a day early which gave us all plenty of time to get to know one another and most importantly gave our cat time to adjust and for them to learn his habits and demands! They were very considerate whilst we were still at home and gave us time to ourselves to get ready for our holiday. Whilst we were away they sent us updates and fantastic photos of our cat so we could see he was happy and well cared for. Having just moved house this was a reassurance for us. Tammy and Mark were our first sitters and we cannot praise them highly enough. They were very accommodating especially as we had only moved in the week before. Most importantly our cat loved them and was totally relaxed with them. We have no hesitation in recommending Tammy and Mark and would welcome them back to look after our cat in the future knowing that our pet and our home would be well looked after. As a bonus they cooked us a fantastic welcome home meal which we thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated after a long flight delay and were kind to get milk and bread in for us. Thank you again Tammy and Mark for your care of our cat and your good company.

Animal & Nature Lover who would like to look after your family pets and home.
A pleasure to meet Dawn, we knew that our cats and chickens were being left in capable hands. Dawn asked all the right questions on handover and she had also read up on chickens. We were not only happy with the care of our animals but also really happy that she had made the most of her stay here too. Our house was also immaculate on our return. Would love to have her return, no hesitation on recommending. Thank you Dawn.

British couple pet-sitting and exploring the world!
I recommend Caroline and Barry without hesitation. We had a phone call before we met and talked through their experience and our expectations. I had no concerns from that point forward. They messaged shortly before arrival to check all was as planned and to arrange a time. We had dinner together and a long walk with Laz to check all was OK before we left the next day. Barry and Caroline are independent, resourceful and clearly capable people. The house was as clean as we left it, towels in the wash. I couldn't have asked for more. Barry responded quickly to any messages, asked how much contact we would like and sent some lovely reassuring photos and messages of them out with Laz. Laz was in great condition when we returned after a week away, coat shiny and obviously well exercised. The photos of their days out together were evidence of how much he was included in Barry and Caroline's stay and exploration of all that mid Cornwall has to offer. Laz is a great car traveller. You don't know he is there and he is happy to go for days out, especially if there is fuss and food in with it! They are friendly, sociable and easy company. I'm really glad that they applied for our sit. They endorse all that zeewoi hopes to provide and I would be very happy if they could return another time. For those lucky enough to have Barry and Caroline apply to sit, accept! You won't regret it....

Caring reliable sitter for your home & pets
Grace and Tim were the first house sitters that I’ve used. Luckily they live locally and so I was able to meet up with them before the sit. They arrived when they said they would and did a great job of looking after my dog and house. I had very regular updates and photos to keep me reassured and things were all in good order in my return. I would happily use them again and recommend to others. Thank you both.

Quiet artist would be so happy to look after your precious animals and home.
This is the 2nd time Stephe has sat for us. There is good communication beforehand and Gerry, our cat loves her. I have a lot of tropical plants in a conservatory and outdoor pots and she does a great job of looking after them all. The house was immaculate on our return. Highly recommend Stephe.

Animal-loving family of 3 looking to explore the UK and meet lots of lovely pets
Thanks to Zeewoi for introducing us to the most wonderful family! Emily and Elliot are absolutely lovely, kind and communicative, and we couldn't have asked for a more suitable match for our home and Oggi. Nothing flummoxed them, and they were incredibly accommodating with our timings and house. Our baby boy clearly adored them and has welcomed them as part of the pack, and I hope they will be back for another sit if they'd like some more Oggi cuddles! They are also very experienced house and pet sitters and seem to not be phased by anything or any pet, so I think any home or pet owner could be absolutely confident leaving their homes in their care.
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back 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.
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!
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 🐈⬛❤️
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.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
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!
Jessie absolutely adores Claire and Nigel and I am very comfortable knowing she is in great hands.
Claire takes exceptional care of our dog. The attention to detail and love shown to visiting dogs is exceptional
Good service dogs well looked after and cared for.
A brilliant safe place to leave your much loved dog.
I was wondering how much a week would be for 2 chahuahuas please
Excellent 👍 All very happy dogs 🐕😀 …
Really good friendly service at a good price
Mac, walked my son’s Siberian husky (Logan) for 3 weeks while we were on holiday. Logan loved being with Mac and got very excited waiting for him to come. Mac is obviously experienced and knowledgeable about dogs he is also reliable. Would highly recommend Mac’s happy pets.
Shane is brilliant with my pet's and they love him.
Reliable, flexible and amazing value for someone who loves my dog as much as I do. Carrie is a professional and will always put the dogs wellbeing first. Thank you!
Carrie looked after our three rabbits whilst we were away for a week, and visited them at our home. She did a fantastic job and we couldn’t be happier with how she loved and cared for them, and we would absolutely book her in again next time! Thank you Carrie x
Carrie has been looking after our cat on a regular basis over the last few years. We feel so lucky to have her, and we have total peace of mind when away from home. It makes so much difference to us and our cat, for him to be able to stay at home and know he is well cared for. Thank you Carrie.
Always cares wonderfully for Dave my cat. She went out of her way today to fetch a spare key from my letting agency after I forgot to give her a new one. Would highly recommend.
Alison has been walking our dog for over 12 months and has provided a great service. Our dog really loves her walks and we are very happy.
Carrie is fabulous, my little dog loves his time with the pack 😀 …
Wonderful service by someone who truly loves animals. Very professional, will be booking again. Thank you. :)
Thank you Gary for looking after our two new bunnies last week (and at such late notice). We really appreciate how well you cared for them. We will definitely be returning. We would 100% recommend Plymouth Parrot Hotel. Gary is very easy going, reliable and very attentive to all animals in his care. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Fantastic place. Took really good care of our guinea pigs. Very helpful when we were delayed coming home as well. Would really recommend to anyone.
Amazing with the birds and has helped us loads! 100 recommend!
Nice place 👌 thanks …
Sarah has looked after molly many times and we never have any worries with regular updates/pictures. Chester and Sonny are so good with other dogs it’s nice for molly to have some doggy company whilst she’s at Sarah’s. The fact that her partner Ben is a professional trainer also reassures us that molly is cared for properly. Highly recommend.
My dog Buddy recently stayed with Sarah and her partner Ben, for 5 days while I went on holiday. I was a bit concerned about leaving Buddy, because he is an 11 year old rescue dog that I have had for a year. I was worried he would think he had been abandoned again. My worries were unfounded. Buddy was treated as part of the family. He went for lovely walks and had lots of love. Sarah has a lovely caring way with dogs. I received regular messages, photos and videos. I would not hesitate next time to leave Buddy with Sarah and Ben again.
Absolutely outstanding doggy care. My puppies were treated like part of the family, they played with Sarah and Ben's dogs and took part in all family activities. It is extremely comforting to know that your puppies are in such safe hands and are cared for so well. Sarah goes above and beyond to ensure that your family pets are looked after and I know that my two puppies feel like it is a second home, which alleviates any worries you may have when leaving them. Sarah and Ben both have very deep love and understanding of dogs and this is so evident.
We had a fantastic experience with Sarah and her family when we arranged a meet-and-greet for our dog, Sunny. Right from the start, Sarah was super friendly and welcoming. She has a lovely home and two gorgeous little dogs, which made Sunny feel right at ease. We also met her husband, who is a professional dog trainer, adding to our confidence in their care. Throughout Sunny's stay, Sarah kept us updated with lots of videos and pictures, which was really reassuring. We came back to a very happy dog, clearly well taken care of. We're so pleased with the experience that we've already booked our next two holidays with Sunny staying with Sarah. Highly recommend!
Left our little westie, Cora with Sarah last week. She has never been left with anyone before. Everything went really well and not only was Cora happy but Sarah sent updates throughout the visit. Will definitely be using her again.
Sarah looked after mimi and dino this weekend. We were apprehensive as they are not always great with other dogs, but needn't have worried. Chester and Sonny were brilliant with them. Mimi and dino had the best time!! Came home happy and relaxed.....😁😁😁😁😁😁 …
Really friendly and professional service. Would highly recommend for training, walking and home from home care.
Patch absolutely loves coming to central bark for his doggy holidays! Louise and Dave are amazing, they even send us photos as they know how much we all miss our boy when we are away. He is loved and looked after and is so excited when he arrives! We have even changed our holiday as they were fully booked on our original week as we wouldn’t leave our boy with anyone else. We highly recommend. Thank you guys
These guys are amazing. 2 years ago, I became a single dog dad, serving in the armed forces, sometimes working up to 80 hours a week and frequently having to be away from the home for more that 24 hours. Central Bark came to my rescue. Certainly for an extended period of over a year Louise and Dave looked after my fur baby Liloo, a Northern Inuit (Husky/Mal/GSD mix) and treated her just like one of their family. Liloo would always be wagging her tail and well happy to be spending the day and night at Central Bark. Although I now have a partner and so use their services less so, they helped me enormously recently when my newborn son arrived 8 weeks early. They truly are wonderful dog people who will treat your animals as they would one of their own. Highly recommended.
The best dog walker
Lily loves this place!
Have been trying to get someone on the phone for days they just never bother to answer . You can't even leave a message. Won't bother again.
You are not on our system has a customer.
Barking Mad has been really great for our spaniel Rusty. The service is fantastic, and he always has a wonderful time with his hosts. As one of life's great worriers, I find this service is brilliant as we can go away knowing our boy is having a holiday too and it is so reassuring! Thank you Barking Mad team!
Cannot recommend Barking Mad enough, Rolo has had 2 fantastic holidays arranged by Carolyn and the team. He has been placed with 2 lovely sitters and has returned well looked after and loved. We would recommend this service to anyone needing a reliable dog sitter for their fur baby.
I used Barking Mad Plymouth for the second time last week for my dog Coco. Very professional, organised and friendly and reassured me that my Coco would be looked after. Thank you also to the host family. Has meant a lot. I will definitely use again.
We are very particular about where our dog stays when he's not with us. We've tried kennels, dog sitters etc but none compare with Barking Mad. He always comes home with a spring in his step, a wagging tail and totally unstressed. Caroline and Jennifer always ensure that the hosts who look after him understand his needs and temperament. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
I have nothing but praise for barking mad. They have always gone above and beyond, even helping me out very last minute in an emergency situation. over the last couple of years my dogs have loved their time away and have been treated as one of the family. This is vital with having a bull terrier as they love people and cuddles. She comes back very happy and tail waggy.
Friendly and reliable business owners
Gentian hill pet hotel have been looking after our two greyhounds for three years now, and what an awesome job they do. Jack absolutely loves running around with his sister Willow, and also both love being fussed over by all staff especially willow. They always come home absolutely worn out for at least a week. Our dogs are treated so well, and it's like they're the only two at hotel, because from the time they arrive, they know as do we, they're in safe hands. We can't recommend this place for your pets enough. All animals get treated like royalty. The place from car park to reception is clean, tidy and little treats in reception. The transfer from animals going in and out is extremely smooth. Staff are always so courteous and friendly. They always put us at ease if we have issues, which I must add we haven't ever had issues. They post videos or photos of all your babies, so you can see them having fun. Thank you for looking after our two babies, we always send you photos back to their crash out state after. We highly recommend it for your pets.
Our experience with Gentian was excellent. We had our dog groomed b4 his stay at Gentian so he smelled and looked gorgeous, when we picked him up after 10 days stay, he looked and smelled exactly the same. All the equipment we sent him was washed and clean and Max looked happy and healthy. Staff were extremely friendly and supportive.
First time using a Pet Hotel versus Kennel. I drove 8 hrs back from Sheffield to pick up the dog. I was told to call ahead if picking him up on a different day. I called over 40 times and line busy!!!!!!. I arrived at Kennels and explained why not called ahead and said I'd wait in car whilst they got dog showered and ready. I was told dogs aren't bathed before return, I asked if I could use the outdoor shower facilities and told no, this was for the horses only. So after driving 8 hours solo, my first job after unpacking car was to bathe the dog. So I had to drive to local pet shop to use facilities as dog to heavy to use bath and no back access to house. Bedding was filthy and so was collar and lead. I would call to discuss my concerns but landline doesn't work! I was informed land line often goes down! Why wasn't I informed that phone is problematic. I was promised a FB video, no video ever posted. I have never had a dog returned from kennels without being washed prior to pick up. This is no hotel! I feel compelled to write a response to my review. There is no FB video of my dog on I've scrolled through to the 23rd April 2023. It's vital an owner can get hold of the place their dog stays, if you have problems with temperamental phone lines then let your customers know in advance. I've never heard of kennels not washing dogs on return. I understand you are upset by my post but I am upset. When I spoke about the phone lines to staff I didn't get an apology for the distress it caused me. It was just blamed on BT. Why couldn't I use the showers? In view of response I've changed review to 1 star
I was so nervous leaving our dogs in kennels for the first time , especially as one is quite anxious! They have come back to us their usual happy and bouncy selves. I won’t be so worried next time, the only place I will trust with my fur babies. Thankyou all staff for taking such good care of them.
Our 3 Dachshunds had an amazing time at Gentian Hill Pet Hotel. This was the first time that we’ve used a kennel, and the team there were fantastic and answered any questions or concerns that we had. One of our boys is super anxious, and needs medications for this - and this was no trouble at all. It was great seeing the Facebook updates, and seeing them really enjoy themselves. We’re super thankful for the team there, and will happily use them again.
On Eddie's behalf we would like to say a huge 'thank you🤗' to the staff at Gentian Hill, Eddie appeared a happy boy and we're so glad he was well cared for. The staff there are kind and obviously happy in their work, it shows! We loved watching the videos on the website whilst we were away. Once again thank you Gentian Hill. …
Gentian hill pet hotel has been a fantastic home from home for our boy. He's an XXL dog and they homed him in one of the biggest kennels. He had a paddock to roam free in and wasn't mixed with any other dog. Which wouldn't be a problem with him as he's friendly and socialised, however you don't want your dog being given a bad experience of meeting another dog when your not there. So this is fantastic for that. He was the happiest boy being dropped off and picked up. Smooth transition on both occasions. He will be returning many times going forward. They are fantastic!
Highly recommend this cattery, it is clean, comfortable and the staff really care about the animals they are looking after. Thank you for taking such good care of my pet while I was on holiday 💜 …
Just have stop to inspect as I'm looking for a cattery .like the pens and friendly staff Helpful .but at the moment can't coment .cat look well look after and pens clean and good size.
Always a great experience with Gentian. Had our cat in there multiple times and never had a problem. Great facility with amazing staff
