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.

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.
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!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
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!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
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!
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 was always dubious about putting Max in kennels because he is a rescue dog, and I didn't want him to feel that we were abandoning him again. However (and it's a big however!) when we went to see the kennels and met Judy, all concerns were certainly reduced. She specifically asked us whether we wanted to visit the kennels before leaving him there, which we did, and it's an incredibly clean, lovely environment for dogs. We have taken Max there quite a few times, and Judy, along with the staff that work there, know him well and treat him like a prince. When we last called to book him in, Judy's response was, "Why would we ever not want to see Max?"! When we drive to drop him off, he wags his tail and jumps up at whoever comes to collect him, which puts our minds at rest enormously. I couldn't recommend somewhere more. I do get slightly upset that when Judy takes him to the kennels, he doesn't even look back at us, but that just goes to show how comfortable he is there. I could sing their praises for ages, but I'm sure you get the idea of what it's like...
Fantastic kennels with wonderful staff. Judy is brilliant and looks after our dog so well. Our dog loves it there!
Five star kennels for our dog. She always enjoys her stay here and comes back wagging her tail. Judy and her staff are always on hand to take care of everything and obviously are very committed to looking after your dog.
Super Grooming - thank you Becky for coming to the rescue after Marlowe's bog snorkelling! (This is the before picture) Afterwards he was clean, happy, tidy with a wonderful coat and a much nicer odour :-)
I'm writing this short review but it is also informed by the excitement of our dog when we turn into the drive. He absolutely loves this place, doesn't even pause to say good bye. Located in a semi rural setting with quiet lanes for walks. The place is spotless clean and well maintained. Time is spent understanding needs of your dog, and importantly the area is secure.
Very positive, staff brilliant, dogs well looked after
I've just picked up my German Shepherd after 3 weeks away and I can't praise Judy and her team enough. My dog is a rescue and I've only had her a few months and she has some foibles. Not only did Judy cope with them but improved her behaviour as well ! You can rest assured that your pet will be lavished with 5 * love and care while you're away.
Went into hospital at short notice and my dog was with them for this time, all I can say is wow. First thing you see as you arrive is how well kept the place is, everywhere, the cattery on the left looks fantastic and a cat's stay must be comfortable, moving down the drive is the large office and ahead is the kennel block. At the office it's not the office that impressed it's the huge smile you get from Judy with Avi close by, it's infectious and the willingness to show you there facilities, the kennels and runs/play area which are huge they are so proud to show which adds to reasons why we would recommend 100%That my dog would be safely cared for while I went through my time getting well. I will always take Diva there, they are doing this with joy first the (conversation from Judy is free flow and advice if wanted). Well done and thanks Graham Kath and Diva
Five stars all the way. Anyone who needs to put their dogs or cats in kennels for a short time. Then this is the place you need. Absolutely fantastic people, loving, caring thoughtful. The animals always come first here. No need to worry about your loving little four legged children while you're away. They will be well looked after. Honesty as always people. X
My dog was going in for a trial run for one night,she's had first injection, when we arranged the lady said that's OK for one night, got there just cut me off blank saying she's not had full vaccination she can't stay,lady is very mudderling and in your face,seemed OK place need someone on front desk with people skills
Unfortunately I don't rate these kennels, if i could rate this zero i would. my dog stayed here, the dogs are housed in brick sheds, there is not access to a outdoor run, they can't even see the other dog they are sharing with. The door to the access is always shut i asked about this being left open but the answar was no, so they only see someone when they are fed or for a quick walk so they spend there time in solid confinment I sent my own food but he didn't get it I asked about the spare packets I sent and they couldn't find them they should been in the freezer The place is scruffy and run down it has so much potential to be run as a a excellent kennel facility
My frenchie stayed here for 2 weeks and she is a nervous dog but they really looked after her , she was walked every day and made a fuss of thank you for looking after our little girl will definitely recommend this kennels and will be using again .
We had our Tibetan Mastiff boy over at The Lilac Kennels for around 4 hours, it was his first time staying at kennel so we were nervous but all was okay - thank you :) we would definitely recommend!
Our sprocket went when we were moving house a few years ago he loved it and my husband was impressed with care.
Cannot recommend enough they really get to know your dog and their needs wonderful people they take such good care of your dog x
My spaniel is more than happy here and great people that run it real animal lovers
First time of using them and not the last. Great friendly team
Great kennels with a personal touch for your dog. They get to know your dog one on one
My daughter works there and really enjoys her experience there
Excellent when it was open.
Marie looked after my rabbit & guinea pigs whilst on holiday. She did a fantastic job and I would defenetly recommend her.
Wonderful lady who delivers a fantastic service - Marie has looked after our menagerie of dogs, cats, ponies, hens and ducks a few times now and we can go away with peace of mind that our pets are safe and well cared for.
A lovely lady, will never take my dogs to the kennels again, they thoroughly enjoyed their time with maries other animals, and I have already booked another stay
Brilliant boarding and training for dogs. My two LOVE it there, cannot recommend Lee, Claire and the team enough.
Specialised Daycare and Training is second to none!! I can’t recommend this place more highly. Amazing staff who go above and beyond. So much knowledge and experience they have made a massive difference to my dogs I can’t thank them enough.
Easily the best day care and boarding in the area
Our two dogs love it here, they can't wait to get inside to meet the other dogs, and the staff, who are amazing, the owners are a great couple very experienced in handling dogs, they are not in kennels for the day, they are all togeather in two rooms with sofas,tv. A quiet room if they require a bit of time alone, a secured enclosure for them to run around in, and play. Lots of pictures posted on Facebook a bonus as you can see your furry friend enjoying themselves. Would highly recommend this place for day stops and boarding, very reasonable prices, and great care taken of your pet.
We leave our dogs here at least once a week and they absolutely love the experience. They are always well looked after and the staff here are all very friendly and professional. Highly recommend!
Our dogs have been going here for years both to day care and for holiday stays and it's amazing, Claire, Lee and the team are brilliant. More importantly our dogs are safe, looked after and absolutely love it!
Great business, the training course is extremely well done and the daycare side is second to none
Amazing place to leave your dog. Friendly and professional staff. Big camped off open space for the dogs to run and enjoy themselves. I would definately recommend South View Boarding!
Fantastic place to leave your pets with a great family run business. Highly recommended. Exciting new training venue about to open. Good luck guys
Always there to look after our dog.Very experienced and friendly staff.Courses also available. Highly recommend.
Contacted Tail waggers in the hope they'd be able to fit my 2 dogs in for some walks whilst I was away. Hilary replied promptly, came and met us and the dogs; who instantly warmed to her; and we arranged several walks: It was lovely to know the dogs were being well looked after; and it was reassuring getting regular updates with pictures also. We have continued to have weekly walks as we were so impressed; We would highly recommend Hilary and tail waggers.
I highly recommend Hilary at Tail Waggers. She is definitely one of those 'animal lovers' and absolutely loves all animals. It's apparent that she is a natural with them as they instantly love her back. She treats our dog exactly like her own and its so reassuring. Hilary walks our dog several times or pops round to give our dog a little bit of company for an hour throughout the day. My dog absolutely loves her and it's reassuring for us to know that our dog will have some 1:1 time with adult interaction. Hilary has become more of a friend now and is very trustworthy, we trust her with not only our precious family pet but with our house too. I love the fact that Hilary also keeps us updated when she has popped in, taken our dog for a walk with photos and messages throughout the day, to keep us updated. Such a personal touch that means the world to us.
So accommodating, incredibly friendly. Willow really looks forward to her walks with Hilary, especially when she gets to join her daughter’s lab too! So happy we feel comfortable knowing Willow is well exercised and taken care of while we are away from home!
I just moved to the area and was worried about finding a trusted person to help with my furbaby Herbert, having been a dog walker myself and had bad experiences in the past I am particularly anxious about finding the right person. Hilary put me at ease straight away and Herbert loved her. Even when all the dates changed due to a rota change at work she was able to accommodate and sort cover quickly for me. I am so pleased to have found her!
Great service and trustworthy always a worry when dealing with your beloved pets but you will have no worries on that count here. My dogs love Hilary definitely would recommend.
I have recently started using Tail Waggers and so far have been very impressed. They clearly care about my dogs and that makes me feel assured when they are walking them.
Tail waggers came in at very short notice to help me out walking my dog Loki while I was away great service had pre arranged times booked in and Loki loved the long walks and all the belly rubs 😍 highly recommend and very reasonable!! …
I called on a Hilary at short notice to help with my two dogs. She replied promptly and when my dogs meet her they instantly loved her as did I. A very friendly, reliable lady who clearly loves her job.
Our 5 month old puppy has been coming here now since he was 11 weeks and he absolutely loves it! He is so excited to see Sonya in the mornings and is happy (and tired) when he’s picked up in the evening! I could not recommend Fenn Breeze enough.
I have been taking Bailey to Fenn Breeze doggy day care for 10 months now and he absolutely loves it. iSonya is very professional and always willing to go that extra mile. The dogs have so much ground to play whatever the weather. Bailey has interacted with her own dogs and many different breeds which has been a bonus. Sonya is always willing to change the days at short notice. Very friendly and welcoming at all times.
I’ve never used a Doggy Day Care for my dogs before, but thought I’d give Fenn Breeze Doggy Day Care a try. My very active Beagle requires lots of attention & stimulation - more than I can sometimes give her when I’m busy working. Sonya & Sean provide her with all the stimulation she demands & she comes home very content and happy, as well as exhausted! Aside from being great value for money, the Doggy Day Care is very professionally run, with a great space for the dogs to run & play. Sonya & Sean have a superb knowledge of each dog’s individual needs and requirements. I would highly recommend.
Me and my partner take our baby girl to day care, we haven't used a day care before but our pup loves it here! Sonya is very kind and it's clear she loves working with the dogs. There is so much room for the dogs to enjoy also! Our pup loves going to day care, she skips in, in the morning and really enjoys herself. We would 100000% recommend! ❤️
Wouldn't trust anyone else to look after my boy! He adores going here, so much so he never wants to leave. Sonya and family truly love every dog for their individual personalities and are so friendly and welcoming. Very reasonably priced and offer sleepovers too for when you're on holiday. It's a home away from home for the dogs with sofas to relax on but also plenty of space for them to run around with each other and just be dogs. Love that she keeps you updated with photos so you can see how much fun they've all been up to. Highly recommend.
Such an amazing doggy daycare! Everyone there is so welcoming, trustworthy and reliable. You can tell they love what they do as they treat their dogs as if it were their own. They’re hugely dedicated to giving the best possible service and making your dog the happiest, meeting all their needs! Fenbreeze doggy daycare always goes above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend them enough If you need a doggy daycare service, Fenbreeze Doggy Daycare is the one. 🐶 The best doggy daycare service out there 🦴 HIGHLY RECOMMEND 🐾
I was impressed with Sonyas knowledge from the first time I spoke with her about the possibility of our young dog going there. Her approach is caring and professional and the facilities are great. Our dog can be very anxious and Sonya has really supported her, and it is clear that the dogs welfare is paramount. She also sends clips on WhatsApp so we get to see our dog having a whale of a time. She comes home tired and happy🐕
Was very apprehensive about leaving our small very spoilt dog with Sonya at fenbreeze with her lovely Thor and pebbles because she isn’t very social but had no problem at all she was welcomed in straight away and Thor and pebbles were so gentle with her , Sonya and Sean were very accommodating and understanding of our dogs needs she even ended up on their bed they are very professional treat every dog as there own , sonya sent photos and videos of our Luna all weekend which really put our minds at rest she looked as though she was having a lovely time will definitely recommend and will take Luna back when we need her looking after. Elaine and Kevin peploe
Wonderful service, my 2 dogs love coming to doggy daycare. Have used for holidays as well. Professional, friendly and flexible. Would recommend 🥰 …
I’m well impressed and would thoroughly recommend. I left my maltipoo Alfie for his trial day, he was really happy and shall be returning every week
I knew instantly that Archie would be well cared for, when I dropped him off at Woof Woof home dog care. Thank you to Beverly and Robin for your kindness and care. We will definitely return! 😊 …
Woof woof is a friendly relaxed warm welcoming environment home from home for my dogs Travis and Tilly I now have a worry free holiday knowing they are loved and cared for by Beverly and robin 1st class service
Really caring dog carers. The dogs are treated as though they are their own and our dog loves visiting. Can't recommend highly enough.
Highly recommended Izzy is always happy to stay there
Have never heard a bad word about Woof Woof.
Very nice and caring lady
Good
