Gill
Ragdale, United Kingdom
Professional, non-smoking couple with flexibility to travel and work remotely.
Yet another five star sit from Gill and Rob. As always wonderful communication before and during the sit and knowing that Olive and Elsa would be totally looked after and cared for made for a very relaxing time. As before the house was totally spotless when we got back and we really hope they'll be available when we next go away. Couldn't recommend Gill and Rob more highly!
Abbi
Ragdale, United Kingdom
CLEAN & CARING, THE PERFECT HOUSE SITTING PAIRING
Abbi and Martin were fantastic house and pet sitters . They are very experienced at house sitting and their confidence showed through . They were reliable, organised , good communicators both before the sit and during . It was helpful to meet them both in person just before we departed for a weeks’ holiday . They were both very warm towards us and more importantly our 2 dogs and we left without a moments hesitation about leaving them in our home with our boys . It was evident from the pictures we received and how the dogs were upon our return that they had been well looked after and had lots of fuss, snuggles and walks . The house was also immaculate. Would have no hesitation in recommending this fab couple . Thanks guys, we hope to be able to use you again !
Iona
Ragdale, United Kingdom
Cat and dog lover in SW4
Iona was great! She was so communicative beforehand and when we were away, and very flexible re dropping off keys etc. She sent lots of updates and seemed to spoil Hilda rotten (she loves the octopus toy still, thank you!). She left the house so tidy and clean and was super understanding even when the sink sprang a leak! We’d love to have Iona back next time we’re away and would definitely recommend her. Thank you so much for looking after Hilda (and the house), hopefully we’ll see you soon!
jason
Ragdale, United Kingdom
One man and somebody elses dog (or cat , or budgie)
This is the second time Jason has sat for us. We had the pleasure of having Jason back to look after our home and our dog, Fergus, while we were away, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, Jason was the epitome of reliability, care, and professionalism. Fergus is quite particular about his routine and can be a bit anxious when we're not around. However, Jason's calm and attentive demeanor immediately put Fergus at ease. It was clear from the daily updates and photos we received that Fergus was not only well-cared for but was genuinely enjoying his time with Jason. We returned to find Fergus happy, healthy, and clearly well-exercised. Jason went above and beyond in caring for our home as well. He ensured everything was kept tidy, brought in the mail, fed the fish, and watered our plants. It was such a relief to come back to a clean and well-maintained home. Communication with Jason was seamless. He was always quick to respond to messages and kept us informed about how things were going, which greatly eased our minds during our time away. We highly recommend Jason to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring housesitter. His dedication and love for animals truly shine through, and we are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care he provided to Fergus and our home. Thank you, Jason, for your outstanding service. We will definitely be reaching out to you again for any future housesitting needs!
Lowell
Ragdale, United Kingdom
When you are away from home, it’s time for the pets to make new friend!
For years to come we will have Lowell to thank for the beautiful pictures and videos of Tango that she took during her stay. She went absolutely above and beyond in her care of her. They went in epic adventures together and she kept us so informed. She was a delight to meet and a great house guest. We walked in to a spotless home, a happy hound and a big smile. We recommend Lowell wholeheartedly to any pet owner. Thank you Lowell.
Jemma
Ragdale, United Kingdom
Animal loving couple looking to take on a new adventure in life!
We were very lucky to have caught Jemma and Kieran in between sits and at fairly short notice, when our usual arrangements with family fell through. It was clear from our initial zoom chat that they were going to be the perfect fit. We were impressed with their experience and the situations they had handled on previous sits, and we loved their passion for pets. Whilst we were away Jemma and Kieran sent regular updates and photos of our cat Violet. They took care to administer her medication and gave her plenty of attention, especially with her toys (Violet takes playtime very seriously!). They were particularly attentive with the house and garden, maintaining the hot tub and mowing the grass whilst we were away. It was lovely coming back to a clean home, with freshly made-up bed. They even got us some fresh baguettes and butter from our favourite store! They also got involved in some local volunteering activities, which was very welcomed in the community. Jemma and Kieran are a warm, friendly couple who are extremely diligent, reliable and thoughtful, and we’d happily have them back to sit.
Oriel
Ragdale, United Kingdom
A loving and caring family who love animals and travelling the world
I felt completely at ease when I first spoke to Oriel on the phone and communication after that was prompt. As the sit approached I got slightly confused with my dates but Oriel took it all in her stride! Oriel, Duncan & girls arrived for the sit and immediately took to Vera & Pru. They were all so friendly & I felt so comfortable welcoming them into our home. Due to an emergency hospital appointment, I wasn’t able to take them out to dinner but they made full use of the kitchen and seemed to settle in well. I had written a ‘pug guide’ for each pug which I think helped. Both Oriel & Duncan were very easy to chat to, extremely interested in the pugs little ‘ways’ and took on board some of the issues Pru has (being a recent rescue). I was able to have a few days away with total confidence that my fur babies & house were being very well looked after. I would welcome them back in a flash.
Paul
Ragdale, United Kingdom
We sit to combine our life time love of animals, travel and meeting new people
I didn’t actually meet Paul and Jan except via FaceTime. However, I needn’t have worried. They kept me fully informed about their arrival and departure - as well as some of the places they were able to visit during their week’s stay. I returned home to a beautifully clean house and a very contented cat. Communication was good and it’s great to know they would be happy to stay again. I was able to relax totally on my break with friends in Spain, confident both my home and my elderly cat were in safe hands. Thank you Paul and Jan!
mark
Ragdale, United Kingdom
Retired active couple.
This was my first house sit with Zeewoi and I was nervous about lending the van among other things. I chose Mark and Sue because of their excellent recommendations from other sitters and I was not dissapointed. Everything was great from start to finish and Im embarassed that Mark ended up fixing my van. The weather was unusally hot while they were sitting for me, but they seemed to cope ok. I would happily have them back to sit again any time.
Karen
Ragdale, United Kingdom
Giving our love and care to your beloved pets and animals. DBS check certified.
This is the second time we've had Karen and Mark to sit and if only they were always available, we'd have them sit for us every time. They are such genuine, kind people. I think they love our dogs as much as we do and are devoted to looking after them and their individual needs. The house was immaculate when we came home and filled with beautiful flowers. Thank you Karen and Mark, you are both stars 🌟.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Abby
David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again! David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away. They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out! David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it! I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)
Christina
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
Kara
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
Leslie
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Linda
Cristina is simply the best house/pet sitter that we have ever had. She is responsible and dependable and an experienced dog owner. Our Wheaten, Bridie, adores her and misses her when she leaves.
Jacqueline
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Julianne
Emily and Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one. We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Susan
Katrina and her family were amazing house sitters who took wonderful care of our dog. Our dog is reluctant to go on walks with new people, but the entire family pitched in and found ways to take her to the park. Her daughter developed a particularly close bond with our dog. Katrina communicated us frequently and we always felt reassured by her messages. We returned from our long trip to a spotless home and a beautiful cake in the fridge. What more could you want!

First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
Linda
Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly. We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house. Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues. We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs. Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.

Sally and Martin have looked after all our dogs for over 20 years. The service they offer is second to none. A real home from home, all our dogs pull to go in. They care and treat the dogs just like their own... you couldn't wish for better care. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Sally n Martin have looked after our dog for a good few years now. He actually pulls like a train to go there. What better recommendation do we need.
We can't put our dog into normal boarding kennels he hates being locked up. Martin and Sally look after every dog like their own and Oakley, my dog, loves it there .
Excellent company. I wouldn't trust anyone else with our dog. They treat her like their own and she is always happy to go.

I would recommend Woody woods to everyone! I love that they use an enclosed field for the dogs which is deffo a highlight of my Tess's day. Sandra is 1 in a million when it comes to dog grooming.. my girl is very hyper and unconfident.. Sandra really takes her time and does not rush. Which i could not ask anymore from her. I can just tell from her rushing in at morning drop off that she loves it does not look back for me straight off for a fun day. Thank you as always for being great!! My Tess has come on leaps since starting there they have taught her so much🥰
We had to book our pug in unexpectedly last minute for a few days of boarding, and Sandra was amazingly understanding. All forms and paper work were sorted with ease, and the little man really enjoyed his stay! He even came back smelling fresh and was lovely and soft! Even when she was ill, Sandra kept me up to date with how the little man was, which, as a worrier was so relieving. I cannot express how amazing she was. Genuinely an angel. I would HIGHLY recommend her, and I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you again so much Sandra for all of your help!
I have used Woody Woods on a couple of occasions. Unfortunately my last experience wasn't good as we had our dog boarding booking cancelled just before we were due to go on holiday. So for that reason I won't be using them again. PS: in response to the barage of abuse below. My doggies are very well cared for, thank you very much. And to imply they aren't is just slanderous. I have one Gmail account and I've used it to leave this 'honest' review. PPS: Yes I have another doggy boarder who is absolutely fantastic with my pooches. Good day!!!
Highly recommend Sandra and her pet care services. Sandra looked after our dog for the day when we had a day out in the area. Our dog was well looked after and was very comfortable with Sandra. Lovely photo and update sent during the day. Thank you so much x
Wouldn’t recommend Sandra at all. Had been using her for a long time without issue, even though I had my apprehensions about her considering what a friend of mine had told me about her (she made them come back from their holiday as her own dog had died and she was too distraught to look after theirs anymore). Then had my dogs stay with her a few months back and Sandra was just awful. Messaging complaining about their behaviour constantly. Refusing to answer how they were. Put us on edge the whole time we were on holiday. Then proceeded to cancel all future bookings that we had with her. Honestly, don’t be fooled by her reviews/qualifications/FB posts. I know of at least 3 other people who have had real bad experiences with Sandra. And just further to your reply to this review (that by the way is a copy and paste from another bad review of your business)…….go to the police for what Sandra? Because I left one honest review about you and your business? Pull the other one! And my 2 dogs are very well cared for, as you well know Sandra, so quit the mud slinging to try and save face. Furthermore, I’ve had absolutely zero issues getting another sitter thank you. As stated to you previously, a number of veterinary clinics are now aware of your practices. I guess all that’s left for me to just reiterate is……..STAY CLEAR OF THIS BUSINESS PEOPLE. SANDRA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR DOGS!
Sandra was absolutely wonderful with our toy poodle. We felt very comfortable leaving her there, knowing she would be cared for and have plenty of walks and play. Sandra is clearly very experienced with dogs and was great with communication, we really appreciated all the updates and photos on WhatsApp and I would have no hesitation at all recommending her to anyone and will definitely be using her again. Loved the bonus of our pooch coming back looking very pretty, having had a groom!
My wife and I were delighted with how Sandra and her husband looked after our Sprocker Spaniel Betsy last week. We had to complete a detailed registration form prior to Betsy's one-night stay and ensure that her vaccination record was up-to-date. On arrival Sandra showed us her licence and was very welcoming and warm; it was clear that Betsy was completely at ease. All the doggy guests were taken to Gilbert's Field for a run and play, and it was very thoughtful to be sent some photos of them having fun! Betsy will be staying at Woody Woods when our son gets married on February, and we thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, caring temporary home for their dog.
My self and Kiernan would not let our dachshund go anywhere else. Sandra and her family go above and beyond to give him the very best care. She has helped us at short notice, given us valuable advice and is an expert in her field. He is VERY happy with them and has made lots of lovely friends! We love to see the pictures of his adventures! I would have no hesitation in recommending Woody Woods Pet Services 😊
Sandra grooms my spaniel Ethel. She never rushes her but goes at Ethel's pace giving her lots of love and encouragement. She always looks and smells adorable when I pick her up. Sandra is a lovely friendly person who listens to what you want. Highly recommended.
Sandra was absolutely amazing when she looked after my 5 animals. At the time one of them was under veterinary supervision and Sandra was back and forth from the vets. She was absolutely incredible and i highly recommend her. Nothing is too much trouble ❤️ thank you again, love from Talulah, Rafiki, Patch, April & Chase 🐰🐰🐱🐱🐦 …

Used the pet cemetery for my cat simba,a sad occasion but very well organised burial , no rushing,thankful we found a pet cemetery not far from Leicester.
Just picked up our two girls (Irish wolfhounds) after a weeks stay. They are very happy and very well cared for. Not easy to keep these two shaggy dogs looking so fine. Thank you to the Team at Buena Vista. We will definitely be back again.
I simply wouldn’t put my dog anywhere else. I have a highly anxious retired military Belgian shepherd. I looked at many places and Buena Vista is the only one with the staff and kennel that I can have my dog at. I have every trust in the staff dealing with my dog they listen and follow the instructions (lots of them) my dog has started now to pull into the kennels when we arrive. If you want a play with experienced staff that treat your dog as their own then these guys are the ones.
We have two Irish wolfhounds who have been to Buena vista kennels three times over the last 12 months. On every occasion the dogs come have come home happy and we have been delighted with how the dogs have looked after. Will not hesitate to board them at Buena Vista in the future.
I was very worried leaving my dog for the 1st time in 6 years and the people are lovely and made me Feel much better. My dog has come back in a really good mood and looked after. Will definitely be using again.
Ive no reason to be negative with how our dog was treated as he seemed fine. However the cost was a joke. More specifically we dropped our dog off in the evening and was charged for the full day/night. ok fair enough. We then picked him up in the morning and were charged a full day/night again, ridiculous. I have also never read such an aggressive T&C. Not nice. I am in the Travel business and we go away a lot. But this is one kennels I shall not return to
Appalling!! Picked my two dogs up and they clearly hadn't been fed!!! You can see their ribs and spine!! They have sores on their mouths and unnoticed they didn't have any water, both when I took the second dog in whilst the first had already been there a week and also when collecting them. They both still have a sore throat. I've never been so angry in all my life that I trusted these people with my animals and this is how they get treated?! The poor things are terrified and still not themselves 3 days on. The price is ridiculous for what it is, the cattery stinks and is very dirty, my grandma also left her cat with them for two weeks and she could feel his spine a lot more than usual. She didn't say anything, just went into the office and that was that. I have started to take this further so no other dogs are treated like this!
Terrible picked my two dogs up this morning they were both soaking wet in a wet kennel they don't appear to have been fed properly either. I would NEVER take any animal of mine back to this disgrace of a kennel ever again. When I asked for an explanation as to why they were wet I was told " oh they have been rolling around in the grass" well that's funny as it's been the driest July for ages and the grass wasn't wet!!!! Do not take your animals to thus disgrace of a kennel
I have four cats, which have been attending Buena Vista over the past couple of years when we go away. I have always found them accommodating, friendly and very helpful. The daily costs are very competitive and I would recommend them with confidence.
We will never take our dog here again, since picking him up and bringing him home he's not his self. He smells terrible and has got to have a bath plus we were never told how he has been or what food they have been feeding him. The cost was terrible, we were quoted for 12 days but had to pay extra for 13 and was not told about this.

Our wirehaired dacshunds were hand stripped by George today. They were really well looked after and the groom is amazing- I’ve honestly never seen them look so good! We are so grateful for the advice and care taken, thank you 🧡🧡 …
This daycare is excellent. The dog loves going and they give you regular updates of how he is getting on. Recommend to anyone who wants to give their dog a good time with other dogs.
Our dog really benefits from precious paws, comes home happy and tired. Fantastic staff so helpful and kind.
My dog couldn’t have been happier here. Thank you to all the lovely staff!
Amazing service and team! Wouldn't go anywhere else, I'd highly recommend.
