Another wonderful sit by Charlie. The pups are so content with him and the regular updates we receive just show how happy they are! House was spotless and I really cant emphasise how lucky we are to have Charlie.

Jordan and Marta are simply the very best house sitters. They cared for Martha our cat and she was obviously smitten with them. They kept and left the house immaculate, even down to tidying our knife and fork drawer!! We would have them back tomorrow to look after us, let alone the cat!! Fantastic sitters.

Friendly, responsible couple who love animals and travel
Stephen and Sarah were absolutely fantastic! They sat for us for 5 weeks and looked after Maple brilliantly. Communication was fantastic with updates throughout the week with photos! The house was immaculate upon return and they even left us dinner for that evening so save us going shopping after travelling and some treats too! The love and care they showed Maple was the best and Maple was super happy and settled with them both. Thank you for everything, we would have you back in a heartbeat xxx

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 !

Phil & Liz are very experienced sitters and this shows. Very relaxed, very easy to deal with, our dogs looked so happy and healthy and the house was clean and tidy on our return. We were kept updated during our holiday via whatsapp. We would love to host Phil and Liz again.

Conscientious and caring family with a love of all animals
Jennie & Alan house/ pet sitted with their daughter over the August bankholiday, which should have been a gorgeous summer weekend but storm Lillian had other plans. Jennie & Alan weren't phased by the weather which blew the bins over & lots of branches on the forest tracks but none of this stopped them enjoying days out & activities nearby. The house was lovely & clean on my return home with bed linen,towels all washed & drying- a few things out of place but Jennie was quick to messege me when I couldn't find things. The birds & cat seemed happy on my return & seemed well cared for in my absense- I appreciated some good photo's & updates on progress whilst away. I was pleased the house plants & greenhouse had been watered as guests often forget that duty. It's a pity we hadn't had an in- person contact handover at the start of the sit due to arrival timings but I sent video & written instructions to help them find everything & they where quick to ask if they needed local or other information. I'd happily have them to return sit & so glad their daughter enjoyed the pets & garden :)

A Reliable, Trustworthy couple who have been awarded a Super Sitter Award by zee
Ann and Martin were super friendly, reliable and all round great house sitters! They took great care of all the animals and were obliging in throwing Pip's ball for her - a lot! Communication was great and it was really helpful to have the opportunity for a visit before we left to meet the pets and look round. The house was beautiful and clean when we got home which was lovely. We would love to have them back if they are ever travelling nearby again on their adventures! Definitely recommend them! Thanks Ann and Martin!

Reliable & trustworthy “babysitters” for your precious furry friends…
Once again Susie and Nigel were the most amazing house sitters and Jasper loves them. They sent lots of pix to keep in touch and when we came home everything was immaculate. They are such fun and so thoughtful and cooked a delicious meal when we came home. I feel so lucky to have found them.
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!! :)
Sharon was an excellent sitter who I knew was taking great care of my two dogs while away. She walked them, was a clean guest, and sent regular pictures and updates. I’d recommend her to anyone.
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!
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
Angela provided complicated medical care for my sick dog for three weeks in Mexico City with the utmost professionalism and kindness Right before Angela’s arrival, my dog was hospitalized and almost died. Angela took care of follow up vets visits, administered eight medicines a day for two weeks, and nursed tico completely back to health I could tell from the photos and videos that she was taking excellent care of him - he was too weak to walk so she made a comfy bed for him in a large bag and carried him a over the city so he could still have fun during his recovery I could not recommend Ángela more. She went so far above and beyond what a pet sitter should do, and she did it all with a caring and capable attitude
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.
We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.
Alia is a wonderful furbaby sitter and also a wonderful person. It is our privilege to have her for the 3rd time. She keeps us informed, our dogs love her, and she even cooked dinner and left it for us. The house was perfect when she left.

Phoned several, times, no reply or ignored when i got through, and when I picked her up, they commented on me phoning and laughed about turning their phone off next time. But what put the icing on the cake was when I got her bed and my dressing gown home (something she could smell and remind her of home and me) and it was wet through with pee! Has she been laid in that all night and why!!
Great service from knowledgeable staff. We left our four fur babies with them. They were in a family kennel, so kept together as a pack. They asked for details on our dogs and gave individual feedback on their personalities when we returned (clear evidence that there was interaction with them, rather than a kennel housing approach. Would highly recommend them.
Thank you Barry, Dy and Sharon for looking after my 4 Frenchies and giving them a holiday too. Fantastic facilities and lots of secure green play area. I feel rest assured with my Fur-babies in your care! Just shows years of experience of taking care of Animals.
We took our dog here whilst we went away it was a last minute thing as normally he will go to Kirkview at Blyth. I was a bit sceptical about it as it didn’t look very accommodating very run down. When I originally spoke to them on the phone I was told a daily rate of £14 and to pay a £40 deposit. He was in for 9 days at a costing of £126 less the £40 deposit would have meant a final payment when picking him up of £86. My husband went to pick him up and was charged £115 apparently they charge more to issue medication and other hidden fees etc, this was not stated on the telephone or even when we dropped him off and told them about what medication to give him each day. He also has to have a special dietary requirement as meat products will cause him serious harm which we provided them to feed him only for him to come home and see he’d obviously been fed something completely different. When checking his medication we found half a tablet that hadn’t even been given to him. I am really disappointed and will not be taking my dog back to this kennels again.
Very impressed. For a beginner to chicken keeping they couldn't have been more friendly. Definite recommend.
We leave our 4 westies every time we go away . Wouldn't trust them with anyone else
Lovely people. Dogs are always well looked after
My pet dog loves it.
Jess has been amazing with our dogs! They are both so different so require someone who is able to look after a challenging puppy going though adolescence and an older boy who gets worried in unfamiliar environments. They love to see her and get plenty of love!
Would definitely recommend Borks and Walks, I have 2 dogs and one of them is a German Shepherd Dog and she's a very nervous dog especially around new people, but Jess was absolutely amazing with her on the meeting they had. She has this calming energy about her and she knew exactly how to greet Sky without making her nervous and jess was just amazing with her. I was also worried that Sky would pull too much on the walk but Jess handled it perfectly. Overall i 110% reccomned Jess at borks and Walks, if I need someone to walk my dogs or look after them I wouldn't want to go anywhere else as she is amazing with dogs and very reliable.
Excellent Service. Jess is very professional and she treats your dog like her own. I would definitely recommend her to care for your fur babies.
Genuine passion and consideration for the animals in her care. Jess is flexible, understanding and truly wants the best for your pets whilst you’re away. 100% recommend
If you are looking for someone reliable and caring then look no further. Jess looked after my dog like her own. Thank you x
