Mother & Daughter duo, animal lovers, writers
Val and Ornella were great, they kept us updated on the cats and left the house very clean and tidy. The cats were indifferent to us getting back which is always a great sign that they've had loads of attention! We'd invite Val and Ornella to sit again without hesitation

Looking forward to loving your pets & home as our own, so you can relax !
What can I say? Stella is The zeewoi's Angel. The animals absolutely love her. She keeps in contact while we are away and the house sparkles when we return. Thank you Stella, for looking after what is most precious,

Qualified vet nurse, with farming background looking UK and international sits.
Jill has house and pet sat for me again this year. I felt comfortable having her look after my animals especially knowing that she had experience looking after sick animals. She sent me regular pics and videos and I felt happy and confident that they were looked after. Thank you so much.

Friendly and trustworthy gal ready to care for pets and homes!
Sophie was bloody brilliant from start to finish. Great communication. Sophie provided regular updates about our pup and was very self sufficient. Left our place in the exact same condition that we left it and we can’t recommend her enough. Thanks again Sophie

I’ll ensure that your pets and home are cared for while you’re away.
It was great to have Richard back to take care of Monti for a longer stint so we could enjoy a stress free honeymoon. As per our previous review, Richard took great care of Monti, was very communicative & left the house immaculate. Highly recommended

Happily married couple
Another brilliant sit from David and Sheila. Oscar really loves them and is always sad to see them go. We are looking forward to the next time already. Thank you to you both.

Trustworthy couple
Stephanie & David were the perfect house sitters. Our little dog Ocean was extremely well looked after and from all the lovely photos and videos we were sent during the sit, we can see he got to go on lots of lovely walks and adventures. Stephanie & David were also very accommodating in that they agreed to add an extra day onto their sit so that we could attend a family party back in Scotland which was greatly appreciated. They also went above and beyond by cooking us a lovely dinner for our return after our very long drive back from Scotland! The house was also left immaculate (floors mopped, towels etc were all washed for us coming home). I wouldn't hesitate to have Stephanie & David back to sit with us again and would recommend as outstanding housesitters to anyone lucky enough to have them in their home.

Fit, retired couple with varied pet sitting experience
Sandra & Rick are fantastic pet sitters! They looked after Archie our ginger Tom for a week and he had the best of times. Their communication before, during and after the stay is exceptional leaving us relaxed to enjoy our hols. The house was spotless on our return and we (and Archie) will definitely invite them back. Couldn’t be happier!!

Time for a relaxing break away from home?
Selim has been a regular house sitter for us and we are always thrilled when he can sit for us. The animals love him and we know we are leaving them and the house in safe hands. Highly recommend and wish he could sit for us every time!
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Our review is written by Steven (house owner, host + my father) + also by Kim (the daughter). Written by Kim: This was our first house sit since the passing of my mother in late Dec 2023. I was helping my father Steven (whose profile it is) manage all the emails + try + find a great house sitter + came along Gretchen’s profile! Not only is she a cool cat + someone you might want to get to know, I found myself quickly talking to her. I shortly found out her profile is just a glimpse of how interesting she is but talking to her was so much better! She is a world traveler with many experiences + stories to share. We quickly became conversationalists who could talk forever + probably will continue to do so! Thank you TH! She is easy to communicate with + continued the consistent communication all along our journey of having her as our *first* guest after my mom’s passing. It was clearly a time filled with anxiety + sensitivity so there were some sensitive topics to go over + Gretchen got it right away. A few of our rooms in the house were off-limits (as they housed my mom’s things) but we reassured her the house has ample space for her to enjoy + there are many lovely outdoor spaces to boot! When she arrived she felt she was in paradise + really relished in the outdoor beauty + the indoor coziness. We were happy to share it with someone who appreciated it so much! She also was very understanding with the fact that both my dad + I would both be involved as we both handled different parts of the stay. Me, writing + setting up the Welcome Guide + would go over the situation but then upon her arrival my dad would take over + answer any questions mostly during her sit. The good part of having 2 people is she had accessibility to us both, in the case she needed it + sometimes it came up! She juggled all the communication oh so well. My mom usually handled most of the logistics so this being our first time we were nervous something would come up we might not know but it didn’t! It was new territory for us + we wanted to make sure she had everything. Gretchen handled it all with such ease, seamlessly, really respecting our wishes/desires + taking all the information into her hands + making it seem easy on her end to do so. She was easy to coordinate schedules with! There was a gap in her 1st + 2nd sit but everything went seamlessly even when my flight had a day long delay. She was able to coordinate schedules with me arriving in between, then leaving, my dad arriving different days + us extending the trip too. It all worked out! We were all a good team! She absolutely loved our older cat, Benny + he fast + furiously fell in love with her oh so easily. When I saw him, he looked oh so loved + after saying hi to me went over to ‘her’ bed + slept there waiting for her to come back. She sent many pictures, videos + even cute creations + toys she made for our Benny + it was obvious the house + our Benny were her first priority. She even asked us if she could help prune our flowers/shrubs, something my mom used to do + honestly it was an honor to hear her ask that. She was welcome to set up her art studio + play away. She was very communicative when our house cleaner, landscape gardener + house manager showered up for different reasons. When I arrived back for a short stint before she came back the 2nd time our mail was so well organized it was an assembly line! She also offered to take down our xmas tree (as we were a bit behind in taking down our xmas decorations) + she was sensitive to the fact that we were adjusting to a new normal. Thank you so much Gretchen! You made our first sit in a long time so seamless + such a relief that we are ready now to host again. We only wish we could have more Gretchen’s! (She’s also a super talented artist!) Written by Steven: Overall, Gretchen has been an absolute treasure. She has fulfilled our goals for a house sitter perfectly - she took good care of the house, great care of our treasured pet, Mr. Benny + took care of the grounds such as watering a few plants + trees. She excelled in all the above + is welcome back anytime I will be out of town in the future.
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!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
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.
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
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!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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!
The Muttley Crew have looked after our rather sensitive rescue dog for the last 5 years. Having spent a lot of time at the Dogs Home in Bristol, he couldn't take kennels, coming back to us very distressed. He loves staying and walking with Julie and pals. We wouldn't let him go anywhere else!
My lovely spaniel has been walked by Julie & Kerry for 3 years and they are wonderful. Knowing she is so well looked after while I'm at work is so important. Julie also had her over night when my daughter got married & she came back very content ( she never goes to kennels, but comes camping with me , so this shows just how well loved she was). Thanks so much.
Julie looked after our Staffie last month, working with us to settle her in at short notice. Julie adjusted her routine to accommodate our dog's requirements, and she came back happy and healthy. Many thanks.
Julie & Kerry have been taking care of my Labrador Jas for a few years now and are just excellent. She gets 100% attention in day care and sleep overs and they have adjusted to her needs as Jas is gracefully getting older! Jas adores them and we consider ourselves very lucky to be with the Crew😊. …
Julie was brilliant with my dogs. I trust her completely with them. She can read dogs really well and understands their body language. She ensured all of my dogs received the best care and I highly recommend her.
Julie and Kerry is brilliant with my dog Boomer and they treat him like one there his own
I have trusted Tina for many years for home visits to care for my rabbits and cat when we go away. Tina is knowledgeable about their care, and always gives regular updates to reassure me they are all ok. She is really reliable, friendly, often goes above and beyond to ensure my pets are happy and well and always leaves things in a clean, neat and tidy way. Home visits mean my animals don’t have to go to unfamiliar kennels where they would be stressed out by all the other animals. I would recommend Tina’s home visits to anyone with cats, rabbits or small animals. Knowing she is looking after them means I can relax and enjoy my holiday!
Tina and her family offer a fantastic home from home boarding experience. Our cockerpoo Winnie loves her stays there in a warm and welcoming home and with lovely long walks. I would highly recommend Happy Pawz to everyone.
Happy Pawz is a home from home experience for our cockapoo Monty - he’s been going to Tina for ad hoc daycare and home boarding since he was a puppy. Lovely long walks and he’s always happy to run inside. It’s a big relief to go away knowing Monty is having a great time and is cared for.
Tina and her family have quite literally opened their home to our little pup and we couldn’t be more thankful to the time and patience put in to building a solid relationship with her. I feel reassured knowing she is having a lovely day full of long walks (and a few treats thrown in for good measure). Highly recommend!
I have used Happy Paws home visit service for my two cats.Tina has always done a great job and would use again
Fudge loves his days out with Steph and the other dogs. He just gets so excited when she picks him up and can't wait to get out of the house. I was so lucky to meet Steph when Fudge was a puppy. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
My dog has been going regularly to doggie daycare with Helen since he was a puppy. He cannot wait to get there and pulls me all the way from the car to meet his friends. In fact, I cannot tell him where we are going until I am ready to go out of the door as he gets so excited! This is a doggie 'home from home', professionally run with love and care; you will not find a better place to leave your beloved pet!
Hamilton’s Dogs have been walking our dog for many years since he was a puppy, he absolutely loves Steph, we couldn’t ask for a better dog walker, she is so amazing with him, goes above and beyond. Hamilton’s Dogs also provide fantastic, reliable, flexible doggy day care and boarding. They treat dogs like they’re one of the family. I would highly recommend Hamilton’s Dogs.
We've used Steph for a few years, mainly now for group walking of our younger dog. Reliable in pick up times, and our Labrador Lucy loves her walks, especially the variety of places they go (and with water visits!!!) . Our other, more elderly dog has been a guest at their hotel too and was very well looked after. Highly recommended to all.
Buddy absolutely adores Hamilton's Dogs. We signed him up shortly after we adopted him and it has done wonders for his socialisation and play. Every week he will race me to the back door so he can get to Steph, his whole bum wags with excitement, and when he gets back he'll zonk right out on the sofa. We are gradually introducing him to day care but we trust that Helen and Steph are going to look after him. I cannot recommend them enough!
Steph is a real star! Our Jack Russell Pebbles loves her and the other dogs she walks with, wish I could send her every day! As Pebbles is an old lady, I trust Steph to keep an eye on her and keep me updated on how she is, and I don't trust just anyone! Steph picks up and drops off which is great when you work full time! Can't recommend Steph enough! :)
Steph is amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker. She takes our little dog out during the week and always sends wonderful photos and videos so I can see the fun he's been having on his walks! She is wonderful with dogs and it is obvious she cares a lot about the dogs happiness. Barney is always fast asleep when I get in so I know he's been exercised well, and it's also great that he gets to socialise with other dogs! If I'm ever watching a video Steph has sent me of their walks and Barney is around, whenever he hears Steph's voice he runs up to the phone and starts wagging! If you are looking for a dog walker, I honestly couldn't recommend Steph highly enough.
Steph's amazing! Would highly recommend her to anyone :) my 8 month bullmastiff Peach loves her and the little pack of dogs she goes out with! I trust Steph a lot with Peach as she's taken time to get to know her and her style of play. Plus the pictures and updates she sends me whilst on walks with Peach gives me the confidence to say that Peach always has a fantastic time!
I highly recommend Hamilton's Waggly Walks to anyone who is looking for a dog walking service. Steph is not only professional and reliable, she also has a lovely nature. I'm very happy Steph includes my doggie on her walks.
I always reccomend my friends and family to the Hamiltons, they are always very caring, approachable and friendly. I cannot fault there professonalism and being a friend of the family I can always see how much love the have for their own and others dogs.
Sam has been looking after our Dog for a couple of years now, her family is his second family, he's as happy there as he is at home. We love seeing videos of his daily walks online, and if we go abroad on holidays we know both he and his tortoise brother will be happy and safe with her. Our groomer is always amazed by the reaction our dog has when Sam collects him from there, he's as happy and excited as when I collect him myself. Highly recommended.
Our dog Róka has thoroughly enjoyed her group walks with Sam over the past 9 months, ending only because we are moving away. Róka was always excited to see Sam and came home from walks happy and tired. Sam herself has been very flexible and responsive to changes in our schedules, and the pictures and videos that she took showed that Róka was having a great time. We would highly recommend!
Sam has been walking our dog for several years now. Our dog LOVES Sam and her family, he's always excited to go out for his walks and is very happy and content when he returns. Sam has been invaluable in helping us be good dog owners. Highly recommend her services.
Lovely family. Caring and professional. My dog loved his holiday with Sam and her family and we felt relaxed leaving him with them. I would thoroughly recommend sam animal care.
My two dogs a Chihuahua called Gizmo and a Maltese pup called Frosty Snowman always come back tired, exhausted but extremely happy!! Jan & Dave love the dogs and treat them as their own. I always put my dogs into Mini's Retreat when we go away or often just for the day as it helps them to socialize as they are still very young dogs. Absolutely brilliant home dog boarding. Thoroughly recommend A*****
Claire took such great care of Madge, giving her all the love and attention while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which was lovely. Madge looked so happy and well taken care of in her home away from home. I highly recommend Claire’s Happy Hounds to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking Madge in again 🙂
I couldn’t recommend Claire more highly. Poppy is always so happy with Claire. She has lots of exercise and it’s essentially home from home for Poppy.
Highly recommend Caroline. Our cockapoo Milo goes once a week and is always really happy to go in. Caroline has also had him for a odd weekend, which has been fantastic.
Our toy poodle Arlo has stayed with Caroline several times now when we go on holiday. He is always very happy to see her and very settled when we return to pick him up. It is so reassuring to us to know that he is happy when we are away and is being so well looked after. Thank you Caroline!
would totally recommend Caroline to anyone looking for Home Boarding. Maisy my 18 month old Cavapoo is very nervous with people and doesn't go to anyone. I was worried she wouldn't be able to stay with anyone else. I needn't have worried Caroline was amazing and so patient and good with her and she was fine and really enjoyed her stay. She has now stayed twice and is now her best friend and follows her everywhere and sits on her lap. I can go away knowing that she is very happy there and well looked after.
Have used Happy Home 3 times now, all at very short notice due to work commitments. Caroline made the process really easy and welcomed Wally wth open arms. Each time when I returned he has been calm and healthy, not the neurotic hyper Ive been left for months reaction you get when using a kennels. Definitely my go-to home for Wally when I need somewhere for him to stay. Excellent.
My lively springer spaniel has been going to Happy Home Dog Boarding for over three years now. Regularly twice a week and multiple stay overs whilst I go on holiday. My dog can't wait to get inside, tail wagging and absolutely loves it. Caroline is so accommodating to my ever changing schedule. Highly recommend.
We have been taking our 12month old dog to Happy Home Dog Boarding Bristol since the end of last year. She loves it and can’t wait to arrive dragging me to the front door in the mornings! Caroline had been brilliant, the dogs clearly love her and she has been so flexible helping us out at short notice on several occasions.
Really Amazing place to leave your dog. They couldn’t be in better hands. A lovely big space with super close access to great woodland walks.
My chocolate labrador Bruno has been very well looked after by Caroline for a few years now. He loves going to stay with her, and trots in happily, tail wagging excitedly! Caroline replies promptly to messages, and has always been really helpful.
Our dog loves going to see Caroline at Happy Home. Such a nice set up, very friendly and accommodating ands great piece of mind if we need to leave our dog overnight with her knowing she is well cared for
Louie loves going to Carolines, he pulls us towards her house! She comes highly recommended and very accomodating to our needs. Louie loves boarding too and spending time with his mates!
Nick is a fantastic dog trainer who I would recommend without hesitation. In his classes he clearly demonstrates his knowledge of dog behaviour and his care for each dog’s welfare. I currently attend agility classes with my 9-year old labradoodle Daisy. Whilst we had originally signed up for a 6 week course, 15 months later we’re still enjoying our weekly session. I think that says it all !!
We have known Nick now for around five years through Agility training. Starting with the Foundation class to present day. We would recommend Nick to anyone wanting to start Agility training with him, he is very knowledgable and you can tell he enjoys passing this on to you during training sessions.
Nick's agility classes are great, he has a lot of knowledge and is a good teacher. His teaching assistant Delta the collie is also very talented. Highly recommend his classes.
Nick not only gave us the tools and confidence we were lacking as a family through classes but he was, and still is, always available to help and answer any questions we have 12 months on. We have a very happy spaniel who is living his best life. Thanks Nick.
Suki really enjoys the Agility class we attend and Nick’s approach of reward training is certainly popular with her
Reliable friendly dog walker my dogs love him
Monty stayed with Steve & Katie for an overnight trial. He isn't an easy dog & is a typical Collie! Katie was very welcoming on our arrival & made me feel very comfortable leaving Monty in their care. They also contacted me to let me know everything was going well which I really appreciated. They were very accommodating to Monty & understanding of his quirks. They have a beautiful setting which is a real home from home environment. When I collected Monty Steve gave me a thorough debrief of Monty's stay. Monty was very content & calm when I collected him which just shows how well he was looked after. I would highly recommend Woolmers Home Boarding & will definitely be using them in the future."
Steve & Katie are the only people we have found that have the both environment and know how to look after our Beagle. We met Steve when he came to us when Buddy was a puppy, in his capacity as a dog trainer. We were delighted when Steve and Katie started Woolmers and it goes without saying that a home boarding business run by a qualified and experienced dog trainer is going to be a cut above the rest. Their home is beautiful, set in a forest with lots of safe outside space. The dogs have access to lots of warm cosy beds and sofas with shared or private space if they need a bit of down time. Buddy has stayed with them many times and I always feel totally relaxed about leaving him there. He always returns looking happy and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Our two girls (cockerpoo's) seem to love their stay here. Definitely would recommend using them to look after your beloved pooches.
Friendly couple, my dog is desperate to go in!!
Our dog loves his time there.
