Sarah and Rob, friendly, reliable, house / petsitters

Fun loving, energetic, adventurous & caring couple that love all animals
Phillipa and David were wonderful, loving and caring with our 6 fur babies. They all looked happy and healthy on our return. Communication was brilliant, we felt we could message any time for an update and we were kept well informed. When we got home Phillipa had a delicious vegan stew ready for us, which we were very grateful for 🙏 Our home was kept clean and tidy and David even did some gardening, keeping our garden looking beautiful. Thank you both so much, hopefully you will be seeing you again next time.

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

Animal loving, experienced housesitter who is calm, practical and reliable
Mary looked after Shiva and Kali for a week and was everything we hoped for; plus, the cats loved her! She was helpful before she came, communicative while we were away and left the house (and cats) spotless for our return. Our two Burmese are demanding customers and report that they would love to see Mary again. Just purrfect; thank you Mary.

Semi-retired professional Great with animals Trustworthy Respectful Non-smoker
Bridget (Bee) sat for us for three weeks this summer. This was the second time she had looked after Maggie and our house, and we have asked her back again this Christmas, which I think says it all! Bee is warm, friendly, kind and considerate. Her first priority is always to make Maggie happy and feel loved, and we have come home to a very content dog, who I think is missing Bee a lot! Bee sent us photos or videos on a daily basis while we were away, telling us what she'd been up to with Maggie. She looked after our garden beautifully - we came back to a perfect lawn and a well-watered, happy garden. It was wonderful to know that she was enjoying the house and garden while we were away, and she left everything spotless. We couldn't recommend Bee enough and fingers crossed she can sit for us again! x

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!

Experienced and reliable professional couple taking time out to travel.
Thank you Hans and Liz for the excellent care and consideration you gave in taking care of my cat , my house and my Garden . it was a pleasure to have you and wish you all the best looking for your ' forever home ! '
Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
Natalie took great care of it dog and cats! She was clean, organized, conscientious, and communicative. Our dog had a small cut on his foot and Natalie took great care to help him heal. I would highly recommend Natalie as a house sitter and pet sitter!
Once again Dede was the most perfect pup and house sitter you could ever hope to have the pleasure of using. She leaves our home cleaner than we left it and our pups so happy that they continue to search for her after she leaves. Dede handled an emergency situation with a false CO2 alarm which resulted in a visit from the fire department perfectly and we were so grateful! I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and know she is giving our 2 dogs the very best care. Thank you Dede - you truly are the best!
I've always been lucky with my sitters through zeewoi, and this time was no exception. George, Larissa and their four lovely children were the absolute perfection in house guests and I cannot praise this wonderful family too highly. They did all the usual things you'd expect, gave my beautiful girls all the love and care I could wish, walked them at least once every day despite the best the British weather could throw at them, and sent me regular updates and photos so I could see how much love they were getting. They also left the house cleaner and tidier than I think I've ever seen it! I'm a bit worried that all they did for the week was walk and play with the dogs and then clean the house - I'm beyond grateful, the place looks amazing! They really are the very nicest people too, George has a hilarious sense of humour (thanks for the funny texts George!) and Larissa is calm, kind and an inspiration as a mother. I really can't wait to have them back to look after the girls again in the summer and wish the whole family a wonderful trip until then. If they come and house sit for you then you are in for a real treat!
David was a great sitter for our dog! It was just him for this sit. He was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. He visited the apartment before we left to meet our dog and talk with us, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was in good hands. He sent us updates throughout the stay, and left the apartment in great condition. While our dog is on the older side, he can still be a handful at times, but David didn’t seem to have any problems. Would definitely recommend David for any future sit!
Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!
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.
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Alia is truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used. My husky LOVES her. Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly. She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia. She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)

Vickie is just amazing. Daisy my cat took to her almost instantly, despite being wary of strangers. Vickies lunch visits while I'm away in the office add so much peace of mind and i always get a text to let me know Daisys ok. Vickie manages to visit even on short notice. Thank you Vickie, Daisy will see you next visit.
We have used Vickie to look after our cat when we are away since moving into the area a couple of years ago. Our cat suffers from stress related urinary issues and can get nervous around new people but she took to Vickie very quickly and we have always felt she is in safe hands. We receive regular updates and videos which show that she is very at ease with Vickie. I would thoroughly recommend Harris Paws!
Vickie looked after our cat, tortoise, 2 guinea pigs and fish whilst we went on holiday for a week. We have regular communication and the pets were so settled. Our cat loved her morning and evening cuddles and keeping her to get routine really reduced her stress. We would definitely use Harris paws again and really recommend their service.
Vicky has been looking after our cats for three weeks and she has been wonderful. Great at communicating with us regularly and the cats looked so happy and settled when we came back. It is a fantastic service. Vicky is a true animal lover. I could have not imagined anything more suitable for us. 🙂 🐾 🐾 …
As a vet I'm very fussy about who looks after my cats (who are both incredibly spoiled). I used Harris Paws over Christmas after a recommendation and couldn't have been happier. Our cats were very well looked after (they can worry with strangers but updates from Vickie let me know that they were showing their normal relaxed behavior, getting cuddles and demanding food!). I can't recommend Harris Paws highly enough!
Vickie and Stuart of Paw Pals Shepton Mallet are brilliant with our cockapoo Coco! They have been with her ever since she was a tiny pup - they are like an extra family to her. We always wanted a dog but worried about the commitment on the days I work, but its so reassuring for us and Coco to know that she'll be walked and looked after when we can't be there. Nothing is too much trouble and they have helped with her training too. They have been so accommodating, calling in when plans have changed last minute and boarding and evenings too. Plus I love the text messages they send to let us know what they've been up to with her! Thank you both so much, we couldn't have a Coco in our lives without your help.
Fantastic couple of people. 💖 you are always at ease knowing this couple are looking after your beloved pet in their own home. Less traumatic for your pet …
Amazing couple 💑 very reliable and caring people. Your dog is in very excellent hands. …
Apologies for previous review in error. Have seen dogs being walked and met walkers and they dogs all seem really well well looked after
Cannot recommend highly enough! Not sure how we ever managed before! 😁 …
Livy and her wonderful family have been boarding my dogs at their lovely home for at least 6 years. They are always well cared for and I can relax when I’m on holiday as my dogs are taken into their family home and treated like part of the family. I would highly recommend Scally Waggers to anyone who needs dog boarding in Somerset.
Brilliant home from home boarding. Mable loves her second family and we can relax knowing she is safe and having a good time.
Scally Waggers Dog Care Service is definitely 5 star! I contacted Livi when Dougie (our giant golden doodle) was just a puppy, due to Dougie’s size and over friendly nature we had to ensure we found the right doggy day care and boarding service who was comfortable with larger dogs. Livi instantly put my mind at ease and arranged a meet and greet. During the meet and greet Doug had a chance to play with the other dogs whilst Livi observed to make sure we were all comfortable. Dougie instantly looked relaxed, that was 6 years ago and we could not be more pleased, Doug gets so excited when he sees Livi and the whole family - they treat him as part of their family whilst he’s with them it’s a real home from home, I often get the impression when I pick him up that he doesn’t want to leave as he’s had such a lovely time. Livi is loving but firm which is exactly what Dougie needs. Dougie sadly started having the occasional seizure when he was 3yrs old, Livi has been great during these times giving so much support and advice. It certainly puts our minds at ease and means we can go on holiday without having to worry about Dougie as we know he’s having so much fun with Livi and the family, plus during Dougie’s stays we see on the Scally Waggers Facebook page pictures of the adventures they have during his walks, usually playing with Livi’s own dog Sid! I honestly cannot recommend them enough!
Livi @ Scally Waggers has provided excellent loving care for our springer who absolutely loves her time there with the family, almost home from home! Text and photo updates were so welcome and gave us complete peace of mind that all was well and our pooch was happy and very well looked after. I can highly recommend Livi.
Amazing service ! Always goes the extra mile with walking and boarding ! I’ve never ever had to Worry one second when away on holiday or at work , in fact my dog gets luxuriously Pampered every time she goes to livs, and has her own little holiday herself ! Just the best at what she does , so trustworthy , so adaptable and reliable . I cannot recommend her enough in all aspects of canine care she offers
My Dog Griffin loves Livi A LOT. I think he sometimes likes her more than, and he loves going to stay. Livi makes sure Griffin is happy, well looked after, well walked and loved. Wonderful woman and wonderful service
Livi looked after our Weimaraner brilliantly and it meant I could go away and not worry about him. He doesn’t like to be parted from me but he settled well. She was able to accommodate special requirements for walking and sleeping with no problem and I would highly recommend Scally Waggers
Whether it’s an over night stay or a whole week, Otis loves his own little holiday away from home because it’s just that a home away from home. He loves being part of the family and gets on with whichever other dogs are there. I wouldn’t let him holiday anywhere else. Super super care.
My Yorkshire Terrier has stayed with Livi a number of times. I can go away and not worry about him. Worth every penny!
My golden doodle loves coming to Scallywaggers and has for the past 3 years. It’s like ‘home from home’ Really caring, homely but also professional. Really recommend.
