Lena is the best! She stayed with our kitties Butch and BoBo for a week, and we returned home to a spotless house and happy, contented boys. Lena’s communication was top notch both prior to and during her stay. She handled a slight wrinkle with our outdoor irrigation system with ease. We highly recommend Lena should you need pet and house care. Thank you Lena!
Susan was kind, curteous and a quite gracious host. It was so great to sit for Susan and stay with Shadow and Jimmy. Shadow is a sweet and loving girl who loves a good lap. Jimmy is a sweet boy too He is young dachshunds and just a gorgeous, sweet, smart boy. Susan's home is lovely and she lives in a great community with friendly neighbors.
This is one special housesit! We had a short but incredibly sweet stay at Kate's loch side cabin. It is even more lovely than the photos, with beautiful views of the loch and our companions Reina and Kitty were absolutely gorgeous - friendly, fun and if you like cuddling cats, like I do, then Kitty is the one for you! Kate was so helpful from the get-go: left a really detailed, comprehensive Welcome Guide and then showed us the ropes when we arrived and left us really good maps and details of where we could walk Reina both on and off the lead. The walks all around are really lovely with amazing views of the loch and surrounding hills. There is a great local community - everyone we met was so friendly and the pub, within easy walking distance, served amazing food. The house is really lovely inside, so cosy with really nice artistic touches and just a lovely space to spend time in. The area is so peaceful and it felt like a mini retreat! We loved spending time with Reina and Kitty - they are very easy and good company. Just wish our sit had been a bit longer but we would be so thrilled to get the chance to come back - thanks for having us Kate!
My house & pet sitting experience with Hilda’s 3 fur babies was wonderful! She was welcoming, friendly, thoughtful & ensured everything was organised & available for a comfortable stay. William was an absolutely beautiful, gentle dog who was my shadow the whole stay. 🐶♥️ Lightning, cat number 1, was a character & very adventurous with a mind of her own. She kept me on my toes but by the end of my stay she was snuggling on my lap & enjoying brushes each night before bed! 🐈⬛♥️ Callie the bengal puss was so much fun! She was a curious ‘sticky beak’ who made me smile with the funny things she got up to! 🐈⬛♥️ Hilda’s home was beautiful & I felt so happy caring for it like it was my own & ensuring she had daily updates about her darling fur ‘children’. Thank you Hilda, I would happily accept future pet sitting for you if needed. ♥️🥰 Joanna
Our stay in Wandsworth with Sid & Betty was amazing. We bonded very quickly with both Sid & Betty and we were very sad to say goodbye at the end of the sit. Alex and her family made us feel so welcomed and even cooked us a lovely dinner at the start of our sit. They were so very kind and we greatly appreciated their help. We hope to look after Sid & Betty again soon!
Sitting at Emma's and Bailey's was great. They have a wonderful location close to town with hiking trails right down the road. Indiana is a love, great to hike with and loved being outdoors. The cats were friendly and easy to care for. Highly recommend sitting for them, we spent a very pleasant time there and would gladly do it again.
What a beautiful place to spend some time! Katy and Jerry not only have a beautiful, scenic, peaceful property, they are excellent hosts. They were so welcoming and generous, I appreciated the time they spent with me on the front end of my stay to get to know me, share meals, and give me a thorough indoctrination into the property - including tractor driving lessons! Darby, the sheepdog, is extremely well behaved and a loyal, happy companion. The llamas are very self-sufficent, and fun to watch as you spend the day on the property. Katy and Jerry were so helpful and responsive when a couple of minor things came up during my stay, and left me with a thorough guide of house and critter details, contact numbers and backup plans, and suggestions for enjoying the local area. You'll love your stay on the farm!

Jane has been walking our dog Rocky for a few years now and has always been very flexible and adaptable to our varied needs. She has assisted us with finding temporary cover whilst she is away and has also helped us find boarding care when she was unavailable at very short notice. Rocky loves going out with Jane and the rest of the Paws and Whiskers gang. He recently boarded with her whilst we were abroad on holiday and the care given was fantastic. It really did help us to relax and have a great time knowing that Rocky was well looked after. We would highly recommend Paws and Whiskers Pet Care to anyone needing her services. Many thanks from Andy and Heather
I can't recommend Jane highly enough! She provided excellent dog walking and home boarding services. My dog always came back happy and tired after walks, and the home boarding experience was fantastic. I received regular updates and felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. If you're looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker and boarder, Jane is the one! Thank you for everything! 🐾❤️
Paws and Whiskers have done a fantastic job looking after our 2 cats and guinea pigs whilst we've been away! Really good service and felt our pets were in safe hands. Got regular updates. Would definitely recommend.
Jane has looked after our 13 year old springer spaniel a few times he is still extremely lively but he copes well with the fabulous walks Jane takes him on. We get fantastic photos of him whilst we are away and updates. He couldn’t be in better hands, we have no concerns as he is so content staying with Jane.
Arnie loves going for his walks with Jane. Jane has helped out numerous times at very short notice if something has come up and we need arnie walking. The best dog walker in the high peak. 100% recommend
Jane has been looking after Angus for a while now, he always looks forward to seeing her whether it’s for walks or pet visits, she is always making a fuss of him when she sees him, I have a very varied and busy schedule that changes regularly and Jane has always been accommodating for this and is always happy to help if she can. I really appreciate all that Jane does for Angus and I’m sure he is too. Thank you for all your help.
There is nobody else we would trust Daisy with when we go away other than with Jane, we get updates via messages and can see where she's been each day on the Facebook page surrounded by other dogs which she loves. Daisy flies through Jane's front door and truly makes herself right at home because she's so comfortable and happy there! Knowing your dog is happy and so well looked after is priceless and I would highly recommend to anybody.
Jane is so lovely. Her love for animals is apparent in everything she does and she always goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. Luna loves her walks with Jane and it is so reassuring to know that she is in good hands. I love to see the amazing photos she takes on her walks and it’s so nice to see Luna having fun with her friends. Would 100% recommend!
Our four cats had the pleasure of being cared for by Jane whilst we were away for the weekend. We were able to relax knowing that Jane was visiting them and we received updates so we knew our fur babies were in good hands. Would definitely recommend.
I have used Jane for the last 4 years to walk Archie, she was recommended by another user and I am so glad she did! Archie gets excited every time I mention her name let alone when she turns up to walk him. We also use Jane for boarding as I know he is being so well looked after & I can go away with no worries whatsoever! She should also be a photographer as the pictures she takes of the pups in action are amazing! I really do not know what we would do without her! 😘
Feel so confident and comfortable leaving my boy with Amy and her team. I’ve had regular photos of Marty and he literally looks like he’s living his best life while we’re on holiday! Thank you so much!
We've been taking our Beagle Blue here for 2 years now and I think I might be their biggest fans. He first went as a really little pup, and we use it for anything between a day here and there to 2 weeks at a time. The staff are amazing, always accommodating and know Blue by name even after months of not visiting. Blue always returns clean, happy, in great health and I will not stop recommending this business to anyone with a pet in Sheffield.
Odie absolutely LOVED his time at Centre Barks! He's never been amazing with other dogs as he's super excitable and doesn't really understand how to not just chill but he made friends with 2 other dogs and they all tired each other out. The staff gave me updates through Facebook with the occasional picture/video. Centre Barks is definitely the best kennel for my boy 🥰
Amazing kennels with caring owners and staff 😊 My dog has the best time playing with other dogs here and is well looked after. Love the colourful kennels too! …
Belle absolutely loves staying here. I was concerned as she was a rescue dog, I wondered how she would cope. The love care and attention they gave her were brill. Instructions were left, and these were adhered to. She loves it here, and was so tired when she got home that it must be from all the dog parties they were having 🤣 Keep up the good work. See you next year
My two guinea Pigs are always well taken care off in Centre Barks when we go away. It's a very professional and well kept facility
Very accommodating place and nice activities/play area for dogs, my dog can be wary of other dogs and be overly playful at times and the staff were so accommodating of this by doing smaller sessions with 1 other dog rather than overwhelming him in a full play session with multiple dogs so he is also building in confidence and comes home happy. Would recommend and will definitely be using again!
Our dog has been to stay here twice, on the second occasion it was for over a week as we were on holiday. She always comes back healthy and happy! Whenever I message to see how she is I get updates. They cater for her delicate tum with grain free food. She had a bath and smelled absolutely fantastic when we picked her up! My only grumble is the drop off/pick up times and pricing! As you can drop off at 9-11am or 2-4pm, so if you are wanting to drop your dog in the afternoon and pick up the next day in the afternoon, you have to pay for 2 days boarding… I personally think this should be 1 day.
We cannot rate Moscar highly enough. We left our cat Sammy for five weeks and we could not be happier with the care and communication. Most importantly, we were able to ‘see’ our cat daily as Julie (member of staff) posted photos and videos of him on their face group page! The place is clean and the animals well looked after! we definitely recommend (and will keep using) this cattery.
So impressed with this place!! Julie is absolutely wonderful! Our cat can be a little shy and skittish and the photos that Julie posted of her showed her so relaxed - and even playing. When I came to collect, she didn't even have to ask who I was and it was our first ever visit. She gave me a full run down of all the details of our cat's stay including eating habits, how she had behaved etc. Will only ever use Centre Barks from now on!!
Brilliant kennels and staff! So knowledgeable and understanding of each dogs situation. Liz and Stephen go above and beyond to help out.
These guys are amazing no qualms whatsoever leaving our dog here. A little apprehensive at first but no need to. She happily trotted off and was fine when we picked her up. Since then she's booked in another 4 times. Recommend to all. Great place great people
Great experience using this kennels for the first time, managed to fit our dogs in at very short notice, couldn't do enough to help us out and make sure we could still get on our holidays. Will definitely use again and recommend them to anyone looking for dog boarding in the Sheffield area.
Absolutely fantastic. My dog was looked after really well. Settled in easily. I'd highly recommend Benrevic to any dog parents.
Can not fault the care given to my dogs while they were boarded. Daily walks, treats and love given to all dogs boarded. I would HIGHLY recommend any one wishing to board their dogs to speak to Liz. She is such a lovely lady and extremely friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to board my dogs there again.
Our Rottie is a pampered pooch we hate leaving him. No need to worry for a second about him getting looked after with love. He greeted us when we picked him up all smiles and very happy indeed. Would recommend these lovely people and these kennels 100%
Really worried about leaving our reactive rescue dog in a kennel for the first time in five years. Couldn’t be more wrong as I could see when I collected Tanya. She was content with the owners and was not stressed at all. Thank you so much.
We have used benrevic kennels twice this year, will definitely be using them again, our dog Eddie always comes back happy, high highly recommended,lovely people
Best ever place, our dog was so well looked after , he ran back 3 times to say good bye to the kennel owners, top class xx
Left my puppy for the first time while we had a short break. He Loved it liz and Steve were great with him. Will definitely use them again
Jo has looked after our rabbits many times. She is fantastic with them. Your fur babies will be in safe hands while you’re away.
Jo always provides a friendly service that has at times gone beyond our expectations. She does a super job looking after our cats. One of which is old and needs a little extra care. We highly recommend Critter Creche.
Jo looked after our two bunnies and we couldn't recommend her enough. They had a lovely space with indoor and outdoor runs, and clearly had a great time as it was difficult to get them back in their carrier to come home! Thank you again Jo for looking after Gatsby and Daisy!
Excellent customer service. Will always go out of her way to support her customers. Always calm environment and extremely friendly welcoming place .
We send our guinea pigs to Jo every time we are away from home, usually several times a year. Jo offers an excellent and affordable service and I always enjoy a chat with her on drop off and pick up. She is friendly and easy to communicate with. I have complete trust in her care while we are away and would recommend her service to anyone looking for boarding for their small animals. Thanks, Jo!
Fabulous, looked after my tortoise Flash so well. I felt comfortable leaving him there. They even sent a settling in photo!
I was very pleased to see the arrangements Jo had made for my rabbit's recent stay. The pen was spacious with a number of activities to keep my bunny occupied. And there was an outdoor area in the daytime too. I was also impressed by the updates provided by Jo. I was nervous about leaving my rabbit with a new person but a combination of Jo's friendly professionalism and seeing the accommodation put me fully at ease. I'll look forward to the next occasion.
Booked our 2 bunnies in the superior accommodation over Easter this year, and what a lovely time they had! The views are amazing there, and they had lots of space indoor, and out, for them to run around. Very affordable luxury, and they were so well looked after, even had their toe nails clipped! Can't recommend enough. They will be returning again this year for another holiday. Thanks Jo :-)x
Our bunnies love going on holiday to Critter Creche! Extremely well run, and well looked after. Jo is an absolute professional, and has earned our complete trust. We wouldn't know what to do without you Jo! Thank you!
Looked after our two gerbils for a couple of weeks. Very happy with their care. Jo was really nice and my seven year old son is smitten. Will definitely use again.
Excellent transport and assistance provided by Michael for my first ever dog! He drove from Sheffield to Canterbury, stopping off at two service stations so my dog could exercise and make some mess! The car used was very smart and comfortable.
I have had the most amazing trip to pick my puppy stray up from Zante and drive all the way back to Yorkshire. My driver/courier, Norman was fantastic. The whole process went smoothly, safely and was a trip of a lifetime. They organised every last detail to ensure the dog and myself were comfortable and well looked after. Highly recommend this fantastic company. Expensive but SO well worth it. Thank you.
I travelled with my dog from Sweden to Wales. They were very professional and organised and even remembered our names when we would call. No issues with booking etc. Were given plenty of information and contacted by the driver days before which was reassuring. He arrived in a branded van and clothes which reassured me (I am a young woman) and was very professional throughout. The van was clean and well equipped for transporting my dog and we took regular breaks around every 4 hours. Well worth the money and would definitely use c four paws again. Thanks/Diolch!
We had Milo collect from London on Sunday with two cages and a carry cage and lots of toys. Milo was perfectly happy and items were in good order. Collected on time and delivered on time. Excellent service and driver was very nice. Highly recommended for animal transport. Will definitely use again if the need arises. Good job thank you
Calagran Four Paws and my driver Will were absolutely amazing at handling our cross country transport for a long distance move. Having a rather large Staffy x Old Tyme, who had sadly had to be exempted due to her size, I was even terrified to take her on the road in anything other than proper transport. And with it being such a long way I wanted a safe long distance option also for all round safety and comfort. Our needs were catered for with the upmost care and Will was absolutely amazing with my nervousness and with my lovely girls nervy nature. I couldn't have been happier and I plan to travel with them again. I can highly recommend them.
I highly recommend this company. I just endured an incredibly stressful and long importation process into Europe and finally into the UK with my 3 med/large breed dogs. CFourPaws went above and beyond to help me logistically with things they really didn't have to and was outside of their services. Provided much needed emotional support and were empathetic to my unforeseen financial costs. Really without people like Keith and Greig, I may have crumbled under the stress of it all. BIg animal lovers, BIG hearts and can't fault them. Thanks CFourPaws x
I have been bringing my dogs here for a few years now. They are always happy to come back and I love that the kennels share photos with you of your pets. The drop-off was very useful
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. In a medical emergency you were the first kennels we found after literally 100's of phone calls with spare capacity to take Casper while his mum had an emergency operation to remove a brain tumour. The 10x photo's you sent us showing him happy & thoroughly enjoying a run in the secure field were a huge relief to his dad & a massive boost to his mum's immediate recovery.
We recently used C Four Paws to transport our dog Adi from Glasgow to Heathrow for her trip home to Canada. David was a very kind and professional driver and got us to the Kennel at Heathrow on time in spite of some unavoidable traffic delays along the way. We’re back home with Adeline safe and sound and are very grateful for having used the services of your company and David for the first leg of our trip.
An absolute lifesaver when it came to transporting me and my cats from Dublin to Somerset. There was fantastic communication the entire time during the booking process and our driver Clive was incredible! They made what was a very stressful move for me and my cats, a very easy time and I cannot thank Clive and the whole team enough.
Just want to say a massive thank you to Leanne at Hotel for Pets for looking after Eddie for me for a few days. He has absolutely loved it and couldn’t recommend you highly enough. Thank you again - Dave and Eddie
Our dog absolutely loves it here! Definitely has a better social life than us. Brilliant care and exercise with updates and photos. We are waiting for Leanne to open a hotel for humans now. Can't recommend enough.
I absolutely love Hotel for Pets! Leanne and her family open their home for my dog Ralph who loves going to stay there, maybe a little too much that he’s sad to come home. Ralph first went when he was 6 months old and absolutely mental, I was worried he wouldn’t be allowed back but Leanne and her family were great with him and all enjoyed having him stay. We wouldn’t use anyone else - first class service from a first class family 😁
I left my 6 year old cavalier king Charles spaniel with Leanne and he loved every minute of it. Would highly recommend, he was well looked after, loved and got more exercise there than he does with us in a month!
Wow what can I say, excellent service , daily reports and photos, Leanne is one amazing lady my 2 dogs have never been so well looked after, there like 2 different dogs and are so relaxed, walked everyday, loved and home from home service highly recommended !!!!!!
Leanne is fantastic with the dogs and they all love her, well done keep ip the good work would definitely recommend.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of my little boy Leanne & Lily. 5/5! Would recommend :)
Lovely staff great with pets
Great service
I can’t recommend Petpals Buxton highly enough. They have walked our Beagle for the last few years and he is a difficult dog to walk. He is reactive and strong and they have always been patient and built trust with him. If you need a dog walker in the High Peak check them out.
I have used Deborah from Petpals Buxton regularly to look after my cat since I got her two years ago. It works very well as my rescue Luna much prefers being in her own home. Deborah is knowledgeable and flexible, and has sometimes extended her care or responded with short notice. A most valuable service for a single owner! Thank you.
We have had Deborah walking our dog Daisy for nearly two years now. Daisy is a bit of a difficult dog, quite nervous when out and meeting other dogs. With Deborah we feel at ease as we know that she understands our dogs special needs and would never get her in any unsafe situation with other dogs. Plus Daisy loves her! Would definitely recommend her!
Great service from Deborah at Buxton Petpals. So much better for our cats to be looked after in their own home which we are away. Deborah ran through everything with us and she has been flexible with days a couple of times when our return has been delayed. We absolutely recommend Buxton Petpals.
Since moving to Derbyshire 18months ago, with no family close by to look after our beloved cocker spaniel, PetPals Buxton have been our saviour! In all that time they have taken our dog out 4 times a week and have never once let us down. Deborah & Jo both leave notes when needed, but mostly to tell us what a wonderful time the dogs have had which is also evident from the photos and videos posted on Facebook. But the proof in the pudding is the fact that each morning about 1/2hr before pick up time, Rolo jumps onto the window seat in the kitchen with his chin rested on the windowsill waiting patiently for the Petpals van to arrive....... then gets very excited! We honestly couldn't do without them. Totally trustworthy and definitely recommend.
Debs 'cat-sat' our Rosie for a week, and we were really impressed by her professionalism and flexibility - we changed our plans a couple of times at the last minute and she didn't bat an eyelid! She also went that extra mile, putting some flowers that were delivered whilst we were away in a jar and bringing our post in. Will definitely ask her to look after Rosie again, highly recommended.
We are absolutely delighted with the care and service we receive from Petpals Buxton. It is very reassuring to know that our much loved dog is in great hands, he is a large breed and nothing is too much trouble for them. They write comments in a book so we know what he has done with them that day, we can also add comments too 😊 and view videos of him playing with his dog friends. We would have no hesitation recommending their service and thank them very much.
my girls love having deborah to stay, always peace of mind knowing they are well cared for, and the daily photos and videos are very welcome and reassuring to see them looked after and having fun. highly recommended
The last time I used this service for my cats I returned to empty water trays, a foul smelling sink full of water and wet cat food and a bath with an open bag of dirty cat litter in it. Not impressed at all plus the danger of dehydrated cats. Would not use again.
Deborah & team are fab, reliable and great with my pooch, would recommend 👍 …
Claire did a great job of looking after our cats and providing us with daily updates, photos and videos. She was very attentive to their needs and even our nervous cat felt comfortable with her. We found Claire to be well organised, polite and reliable.
We would absolutely recommend Claire to anyone looking for a cat sitter. Our cat can be very shy and nervous around new people but Claire managed to win her over immediately! We loved seeing the photos after each visit and the updates meant that we could really relax knowing that our cat was in such safe hands. We already have more visits booked in and I’m sure Poppy is looking forward to it!
Great experience using Peak Pet Services - Claire took the time to understand our cat’s individual needs before we went away which really helped us feel at ease. Daily updates and photos were provided and the questions/messages exchanged demonstrated that Claire was truly invested in our cat’s welfare whilst we were away. We came back to a calm and happy cat (which is not always the case after we’ve been a way) - a clear sign that Claire had done a fantastic job. We will be booking again the next time we are away!
It's brilliant to be able to go away knowing our animals are in such safe hands. Claire looks after our cats, chickens and ducks as if they're her own. She provides updates every day, meaning we can relax and enjoy our holidays without any worries. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Peak Pet Services - a five star service from a real animal lover.
Amazing care for two very nervous cats, Claire has consistently looked after the cars while we have been away over a number of years, ensuring regular updates and pictures so we can be sure all is well. Can't recommend her highly enough.
Would highly recommend Claire. Professional, friendly and caring🥰 Kitties were very happy, safe and well cared for by Claire. We received updates of how they were🥰 Thank You Claire x …
A purrrfect service. Our cat wants to be adopted by this wonderful lady. Certainly not a fly-in-and-fly- out service! Our cat was given quality time. An excellent service.
I’m very pleased with Peak Pet Services. I was kept informed the whole visit about how my cat was, photos included, and I was so surprised that my cat actually ventured out of her safe space while Claire was there! I’ll definitely be using them again.
Amazing service. We have had a few pet sitters over the years but none have compared to Peak Pet Services. Claire always goes the extra mile. We felt completely at ease on hour holidays knowing our cats, rabbits, chickens and chameleon were being cared for so well. We got sent updates everyday and no pet sitter has ever spent the time getting to know our cats so well which was just so lovely to see them bond. If I could give more stars I would !
Excellent pet sitting! Claire from Peak Pet Services is an absolute gem, we’re so happy we found her. When we’re away we know that our cat is well looked after, happy and fed. Claire is really intuitive with our boy, and will follow his lead when she visits - sometimes he wants to play, sometimes he just wants a cuddle. She sends regular updates and takes (great!) photos of him on the days she visits, which is reassuring, and she is extremely flexible and happy to suit our timings and needs. We wouldn’t know what to do without her!
