WE LOVE JEN AND HER FAMILY! Perhaps more importantly, our dogs love Jen, Brendon and Will. There is nothing quite like the comfort - and joy - that one gets when your dog sitter loves and appreciates your dogs like you do. Jen and her family were so capable and caring, and Jen knew just how to take special care of our senior dog, Dory, and nothing seemed to faze them. Jen was terrific about communicating and sending photos; We’re now in possession of a whole new album of professional grade pet pics! Everything was perfect upon our return, and we simply can’t wait till Jen, Branden and Will can come sit - and stay! - for us again.
Max took care of our place recently. We were going through a tough time with our cat, and Max offered straight away that he could take her to vet appointments if needed. He did everything right. He was clear and prompt with communication, handled every task on our list, and left the house neat and clean. We can certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter. Thanks, Max Bob and Lilo

Cannot recommend SuPaw Nanny more highly. Not only does our Puppy have a fantastic time with her, he receives the individually appropriate level of mental and physical stimulation. His behaviour has also improved with interactions with other dogs. There is absolutely no-one else I would trust with our Puppy and I know there is no-one else he would prefer to be with!
Couldn't recommend enough! The absolute highlight of Hendrix's week is his doggy play and walk sessions with SuPaw Nanny. He's a highly energetic Labrador has been going every week for over 2 years. The facilities and level of care that he gets is fantastic, with all his needs met - running, sniffing, games, swimming and romping around with pup-pals. There are different groups suited to different dogs and he goes rain or shine. He's also boarded with Stacy and is always looked after as though he was her own. Thank-you!!
I cannot speak highly enough about SuPaw Nanny. We went on holiday for 2 weeks and Stacy looked after our two cats each day we were away. She not only fed them but gave them cuddles and made sure they were happy. She also kindly fed our fish. Stacy also provided us with updates and pictures on WhatsApp almost every day. SuPaw Nanny is fantastic and we will definitely be using them again. Thank you Stacy you were great
SuPaw Nanny is amazing!! Our puppy has the best time with Stacy. I know he’s safe, well looked after and absolutely loves his doggy daycare days. Stacy is so professional and so lovely. I’ve contacted her for advice when Harley was poorly and she was brilliant. Responded straight away and kept checking in to see how he was getting on.
For anyone who doesn’t like leaving their pets when they go on holiday, Stacy of SuPaw nanny provides the perfect solution. She cares for them like her own, giving them love and strokes and sending pictures of them, which gives me peace of mind knowing they are in such safe caring hands. She provides an excellent service. Thank you Stacy.
SuPaw Nanny looked after my two cats while we were away for a few days. First time using and Stacy came over beforehand to meet the cats. While we were away she sent us updates and pictures of how they were doing which was lovely. I knew I did not need to worry and that they were in good hands. I will definitely be using SuPaw Nanny in the future!
Amazing service from SuPaw Nanny 100% 5 star service. After I had a weekend away from home, Molly was in the best hands ever. She loved her visits and play time. It was such a relief that I was able to keep her in her normal surroundings with no stress, as bunnies do not adapt well to change or stress. SuPaw Nanny completely understood this, listen and reassured me. I received regular updates and fantastic pictures of my happy hoppy fur baby. SuPaw Nanny is not just dogs and feline friends, Molly (the bunny) was so happy and relaxed which means a very happy me!!! Thank you again, only the best for my bunny and not forgetting the fish who were equally looked after. I have found someone who really cares for my fur baby and I have no fear of going away when I have SuPaw Nanny caring for her.🐰❤️🐠
When Skye goes to daycare at SuPaw Nanny, I know that she will be well looked after, cared for and have fun! Stacy make sure that there are plenty of enrichment activities and that Skye gets to enjoy the amazing off lead secure field that has lots of areas to explore. SuPaw Nanny is perfect while I’m working from home as I know I can focus on work while Skye is having the best time playing with her pals. Stacy goes above and beyond to tell me how Skye is getting on and I love getting the photos at the end of the day of what they’ve got up to. I could not recommend more highly. (I think Skye thinks so too!)
Stacy has come and taken care of our cats on two occasions now, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. The cats like her a lot, and I get lovely photos of them enjoying their visit. Travelling is much less stressful when I know they are being well taken care of. Thank you, Stacy!
SuPaw Nanny is amazing she took time to meet myself and our bunnies once we had registered before I had even booked her services. She genuinely cares for our bunnies and treats them as part of the family. We can go away knowing they are in excellent hands and will be looked after so well. The photo updates are lovely I would not hesitate to recommend SuPaw Nanny to anyone wanting pet sitting services. Really reasonable rates too 😍🐇🐇🐾
We have used Dawn's Pet Sitting Service for close to 10 years. She is reliable and so conscientious. She has been with us through three cats and has loved them all! Highly recommend.
Dawn was amazing looking after our three cats for two weeks. Kept us informed and we came home to three very happy animals.
Excellent service.
Excellent service
I would 100% recommend Serena for her services at Poochie Mumma. Both Serena and her daughter care for my dog as though she were their own. I have a 15 year old Yorkshire terrier who no longer enjoys long walks and is frightened of dogs, so Serena visits Lulu whilst I am at work to let her out and spend some time with her. It is clear that Serena totally loves the dogs she looks after. I receive a photo for every visit which brightens my day at work and puts my mind at ease that she is ok. Serena has also made emergency visits if I am stuck in London or if I need emergency dog cover. Serena is kind and very reliable, Lulu absolutely loves when she visits!
Serena took care of our dog Max when we travelled to Australia for a family wedding earlier this year. She is very professional and you can see how much she loves her job. Whilst looking after Max we received videos on a daily basis showing how much fun he was having out walking 2 or 3 times a day with other dogs. He had the time of his life. Also while we was away , our flights home were cancelled due to covid 19 and Serena was extremely supportive and looked after max while we was stranded. I couldn't recommend her enough and we will definitely be using her again.
We left our 11 month old cockapoo with Serena/Poochie Mumma for a week. We had looked at a number of other dog minders as we were very worried about leaving our baby for the first time but as soon as we met Serena we knew she was the one for us! She treated our dog to a 5 star service....like a member of her own family. We were very pleased to have daily updates on our dog, lots of amazing photos and videos of her not missing us at all! I She really enjoyed her time with Poochie Mumma and we have already booked with her for next year!
I recommended Poochie Mumma to my elderly neighbour who needed dog care whilst she was in hospital. Serena came to visit my neighbour and meet her very anxious Jack Russel Harry. Serena was very patient and oozed a calmness that settled Harry and made my dear friend and neighbour comfortable about her taking care of him. Serena had Harry for a week and from what I heard it sounds like he had a great time. The best thing to come from this is that Harry is now happy to leave my friend for periods of time without becoming distressed. Serena has continued to walk him 3 times a week and I often see her come to pick him up... his tail is always wagging and he is excited to see her. My dear friend is relieved to have such a reliable warm and kind person to take care of her little Harry. So this review is from us ... Margaret, myself and a very happy Harry!! Poochie Mumma is without a doubt a 5* service.
Serena & her daughter both came round to meet my dog before looking after her for the night. She immediately warmed to them and I knew she was in good hands. I was able to keep my dog at home which suited her perfectly as she’s 13 and loves her home comforts. Serena sent pictures of my happy dog out for their morning walk which was a lovely touch! So pleased we found someone reliable :)
I can't recommend Poochie Mumma highly enough. I spotted her branded van parked up at the exact time I was looking for a reliable local dog walker. Serena visited to meet Sophia (our mixed breed rescue dog) and immediately Sophia took to her. Initially Poochie Mumma would pick Sophia up on the day to take for amazing, fun & long walks (sending me photos of Sophia enjoying herself). A change of job meant that our dog now goes to Poochie Mumma for several hours each day and she always has a fun time, receiving plenty of exercise, love and attention. Poochie Mumma has always been reliable, has been flexible when work plans have changed and above all has taken care of Sophia as if she was one of her own dogs. If you're looking for dog day care, boarding or walking in the Stansted area your pup will be lucky to have Poochie Mumma take care of it!
My dog Ernie has been walked by Serena and stayed with her on occasions when work has taken me away from home, Serena has always been reliable and makes Ernie a big part of her family. I always receive daily photos of Ernie enjoying himself which is fantastic for me to see. I whole heartedly recommend Poochie Mumma!!
I only have left my dog with family, but this time no one was available to have my staffie, she is a spoilt dog , so I was worried about leaving her, as she doesn’t like me leaving her. After being recommend by a friend from work. I met , Serena , and felt happy my dog will be well looked after. And My dog seemed happy once collecting her and she said she had been on some great adventures, so my dog, tells me lol . I will be using her for future holidays 😃
Serena is fantastic with the dogs. My nervous pup took to her straight away and is always so happy to go on her walks and to go stay with her for the day. I'd highly recommend.
My two little dogs absolutely love their visits to and from Poochie Mumma. Serena is so flexible and accommodating and can walk the dogs if I get stuck at work even at short notice. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would... Great service!
Thee best place to have your little darling looked after. Wendy is the best, most attentive dog sitter. Better care here than at home with lots of walks and play with Ivy Schnauzer
Wendy is an absolute star, treating your dog like one of the family. 100% reliable - highly recommended.
Why have you done this? I don't know who you are. Has your dog ever stayed with me? If so, please don't be so cowardly, tell me why you have only given me 3 stars.
Thank you, Fred
Tamzin, Thank you so much for looking after my rabbit 🐇 LULU! My daughter always very pleased with your service!!! We will always use your little hotel :) in the future and we would like to offer You to the others!!! Very professional and reliable service!!! Thank you
Absolutely the best boarding kennels for your beloved dogs and cats. The staff treat your fur babies as if they were their own. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our two dogs
We left our 2 dogs at the kennels for 4 nights for a trip up north to a funeral. When we collected them they came out very happy and they had clearly been looked after well. All the staff there were very caring and even when I rang for updates I didn't feel that I was bothering them. They were happy to tell me how they were getting on. Would definitely recommend these guys and would be happy to leave my dogs again with the knowledge there were cared for well and believe me I really would not leave my dogs just anywhere.
Avoid boarding your small animals here - On arrival we couldn't hear ourselves over dogs barking. Walking up to the office which we could only describe as neglected we were already unsure about dropping our three guinea pigs off here. Already worried about our pigs being distressed due to the noise and proximity of dogs, we were left waiting in the office for 20 minutes for them to even find our booking. We then proceeded to fill out paperwork which took another 15 minutes despite going through the same questions on the phone when booking a month prior. Admin finally done, it was time to drop the guinea pigs off. When we asked the member of staff if we could see the enclosure where they'd be staying we were told rudely "We don't normally do that". Given the experience so far we insisted on dropping them off ourselves which they reluctantly agreed to, but not without another 10 -15 minutes wait. The enclosure was adequately sized however VERY run down, and ground level in a busy walkway on route to the Avery. It was at least full of hay and straw bedding. On return to picking our pigs up, we were barely greeted by the former rude employee who nearly proceeded to charge us the full amount (which was completely different to what we agreed upon over the phone a month prior) as the record of us paying the deposit when booking was not logged correctly. Finally sorting payment we were reunited with our piggies after an 8 days stay. After getting them back home it was apparent that our long-haired piggie received no grooming due to matted hair, which we would have taken as normal. However due to the amount of details they took from us and information on their website concerning the pets we were expecting better care. It was also apparent that the pigs had very little human interaction. To say we are disappointed would be the understatement of the decade! £172.50 for our three pigs to be left in a grotty cage on the floor with little interaction in a walkway. We would have been better off paying friends who have never looked after guinea pigs before! AVOID AVOID AVOID!
Great group of people who obviously have a lot of love for the dogs in their care
Ruby always has a great experience, the staff are lovely, and really care about the animals. Visitors should always say hello to the parrot 😁 …
Highly recommended. Staff very friendly. Dog came back very happy and settled. Previous kennel he has stayed in he would get quite stressed. Will definitely use next time we go away.
I recently boarded my one year old Chihuahua and I cannot express how impressed I was with the service! I spent weeks looking for the right place as I was extremely nervous leaving my Chi for the first time, the owners were lovely and kind enough to have him with the family doggo's so that he would feel most comfortable and I cannot be thankful enough, it meant I could relax while away and give my Chi the chance to build his confidence around other dogs - he had an amazing time, so much so, to my surprise he didn't want to come back home! He was well looked after and on picking him up, he looked like he had the time of his life there, a really Holiday even for him! I would highly recommend Normandale Kennels, very loving and caring owners and the staff are very friendly and helpful, I have finally found my Chi's second home. Thank you Normandale Kennels & Cattery for such a amazing experience for both us and my Chi.
Great kennels friendly helpful staff my dogs love going there would not use any other kennels they always come back fit and healthy and have eaten well
Lovely family run boarding kennels and Cattery, no hesitation in a 5 star recommendation. Owners and staff are very welcoming to you and more importantly to your Pets. Great facilities for a worry free time away from your pets. Only one negative, they don't provide boarding for humans, I would enjoy a week or two there myself!
Take care of my cat so well!
Scott is amazing, my two dogs love Scott. He is trust worthy, always on time and you know that he always give them a good walk, they always come back shattered. Scott has also stayed whilst I was away on holiday, normally I would worry how the dogs were, but didn't need to with Scott.
Scott was recommended to me to house sit my 2 pups just 3 months old. He did a home visit, prepared a full comprehensive contract and kept in touch with me prior to his stay. The puppies loved him and he clearly was extremely attentive to them as they had formed a great bond. Dog sitting rates are extremely competitive and I’m sure the extra work my pups created was not charged for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Scottie’s Dogs to any owner and really look forward to using Scott again.
On first meeting with Scott felt more than comfortable knowing both our dogs would be well looked after. Scott is certainly very caring and has a love for animals and walking, which means we have 2 very happy dogs when he visits. We have now called on Scott's services for dog sitting and walking on a number of occasions and additionally looking after our garden and plants whilst away. Scott is very trustworthy and certainly provides an excellent service. He has built a lovely relationship with both our dogs and I know they are both well looked after when we need.
I can’t recommend Scott highly enough. He walks my dog regularly and looks after him when I go away. Whenever Scott comes to the door Buddy is so excited and can’t wait to go out and have fun with him. Scott cares about his dogs as if they were his own and is extremely reliable, trustworthy and an all round great person!
As all pet lovers know the welfare of their dogs is paramount and finding that right person to look after them should you need to go away is so important. Well we can really recommend Scott! For the first time in a long time since we got our two rescue dogs we were able to go away for a relaxing stress free weekend knowing our boys were being looked after and cared for in their own home. Scott also looked after my tropical fish, kept the house tidy and most of all kept us informed on how our boys were doing. We will definitely be using Scott again. Throughly recommend Scotties Dogs. Karen & Terry
I had Scott take Oscar for walks for a week whilst I had work commitments. During our first meeting, Scott was really friendly and by the way he interacted with Oscar I knew he was going to take good care of him. Scott was really professional and had all the correct forms etc which made me feel relaxed and reassured. Scott was great at keeping me informed during the week and I really appreciated the lovely pictures he sent to me. At the end of the week, when Scott came to return my keys, I knew by Oscar’s behaviour (kept trying to sit on Scott’s lap and lick him) that Oscar really liked him. I will definitely be using Scott and Scottie’s Dogs again in future.
We have a very stubborn English Bull Terrier who decides as and when he wants to be walked. Most of the time he doesn’t want to be walked, much preferring to sleep on the sofa! When Scott arrives he’s over the moon to see him, jumping up and down like a puppy and can’t wait to get his lead on. He loves him. I would highly recommend Scottie’s dogs. He’s very Professional, fully committed and nothing is too much.
Scott recently looked after my cat Belle while I was away for a long weekend. I wouldn’t leave my cat on her own and have someone just pop in and out. She likes company too much. I’m not able to take her somewhere else either as she’d be so frightened. I tried to find someone but it was really difficult to find someone that would stay and look after her in my home. They wanted me to bring the cat to their house instead. Therefore, finding Scott was a real god send. He was really friendly and I could tell how much he loved cats. He always kept me updated when I was away and I loved the pics he sent. The house was kept clean and tidy and I was really pleased with his service. I’m and glad I found him and will definitely be using Scott again in future.
Scott has looked after my cat Radiance a couple of times whilst I have been on holiday. Radiance really warmed to Scott. He has a kind and caring nature towards her. Scott sent me a couple of photos of them together whilst I was away which put my mind at rest. She doesn't sit on anyones lap but mine, but I was sent a photo of her tucked up on Scott's lap. She enjoyed his company. I would recommend Scott for pet sitting and will be using his services again.
Scott is fantastic! Our puppy absolutely adores him. We get updates on how the visit went and always have a very happy puppy when we get back. I would definitely recommend Scott.
We are very happy to leave our dog at Hotel for Hounds. Our dog is very happy and comes back to us as if she has never been away. Clean, comfortable and a caring enviroment Keep up the excellent work.
The very best in doggy care! Amazing care and love is given to every animal that comes to stay in this home from home!
Excellent one lovely Lady who owns this - love Lucy and Henry
Good food
Jackie is such a lovely lady and she cared for my cats Pumpkin and Oscar with such love, like they were her own. She even went above and beyond unblocking my sink when she noticed it was blocked. Thank you so much Jackie, we will definitely be using you again for other holidays Charlotte Duncan
After having my cat stay at a cattery once whilst on holiday and swore never to do that to my cat again, after he was left traumatised.. including myself after the state I picked him up in. I found Jackie on the net! From start to finish, the reassurance by messages and pictures, and being so caring and putting my cat at ease whilst we were all away. Jackie is Amazing & such a thoughtful lady. Always putting my cats needs first and suggesting brilliant information on my cats diet also. (Jackie even cooked fish for my cat one night to see how he got on with it) I guarantee, once you use Jackie at Happy Cats' you will never look back. Lovely & friendly lady and ever so thoughtful. Thank you for all you done for Toulouse Jackie! You have made a friend for life 😻
Having never used a cat sitter before and being an anxious cat mum, Jackie was brilliant. Kept me up to date with pictures and my usually scared female even came out for her. Would highly recommend and will use Jackie again :)
I booked Jackie for the first time after seeing her reviews as I'm new to the area. As you can imagine it's always a bit nerve wracking at first, knowing you're leaving your baby in the hands of a stranger, but Jackie really made it easy for me and I could enjoy my 2 week holiday without stress. She started out with a pre-visit to get to know Tommy (my cat) and his routine, he came to her and let her pet him pretty fast, I knew they'd be fine together. She sent me occasional photos and videos and could see he's eating and that they're playing. I came back to a very happy and healthy cat and will definitely book Jackie's services again. Thank you so much Jackie! I know Tommy will be glad to see you again and I can finally have my holidays too!! ❤️🙏😻🐾
Jackie is a wonderful caring person who our cat so clearly loves. We feel so comfortable and relaxed when we know he is being looked after by her so well. Would recommend to everyone!
Jacqui at Happy cats daycare has been looking after my two cats for the last 4 years. I can’t recommend her enough. She is reliable, caring and goes above and beyond what I ask of her.. 100% recommended.
Jackie at Happy Cats looked after my 2 rescue cats really well whilst I was away. They are very shy and she managed to get them to come out from behind the furniture! She also noticed that one of them wasn't very well and even sorted out the vets appointment for me.
Jackie went above and beyond looking after our cat whilst we were away on holiday. He loved cuddles with her. Would definitely recommend and will be using in the future.
Very happy with the service & the care Jackie gave my cats while I was away. I received regular updates & photos of my cats & felt very reassured they were being well looked after. Will definitely be using the service again!
I used the service recently as I don't like to put my beloved cat in a cattery. They gave Tabitha lots of cuddles and spent time playing with her. Also managed to give her meds. Will definitely use again!
Hayley is great. She provides lots of updates and is super responsive when organising dates for day care. She tries to be flexible where possible which has been a godsend when I started a new job and didn’t have full control of the days Patrick would need looking after. Patrick adores going to day care, spending time with his little friends but also snuggling up with Hayley. I would highly recommend Fido & Friend's to anyone looking for dog care.
Amazing service, our dog loves his visits to Hayley and Craig at Fido & Friends. We know he will always get a great walk, and being very needy, he gets plenty of attention and cuddles throughout the day! During his stay Hayley provides WhatsApp updates of photos and videos which we love as it's always lovely to see how much fun he is having. Would highly recommend!
Hayley is brilliant with our little Spencer and he loves going for day care every week when I'm in work. We also get to see loads of pictures of him with his friends on the Instagram & TikTok!🐾 he's also enjoyed overnight stays too! …
Our Charlie is super happy playing with all of his friends.Lovely long walks with plenty of photos and videos through out the day. We are so glad we found Fido and Friends because we know all the dogs are happy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hayley has looked after our little rescue dog a few times now whilst I've been away on holiday and I know he is always having a brilliant time. Hayley is super attentive to the needs of each individual dog to make sure they are happy and safe, so I know my boy is getting the same level of attention and fuss he would do at home. He loves playing and exploring with the other dogs, especially Little Dave! And Hayley sends lots of photos and videos so you can see what they are getting up to! I would 100% reccomend Hayley to look after your dog. Fred can't wait to stay again 🥰
This was buddy's second staycation with Hayley, Craig, little Dave and Charlie ( the dogs) he was very excited to return. Hayley runs a very organised and professional pet care service. From the moment your beloved pooch goes into her care, rest assured you will know that they are having the best time ever. I was updated all the time with fabulous photo's of buddy enjoying his time with the other doggy boarders and little Dave and Charlie. I could go away knowing that i can safely say that buddy was in the best hands and having a wonderful time. I would thoroughly recommend Fido and Friends ❤ thankyou so much for the care you provide.
5 Stars are just not enough to give Hayley & Craig they go above & beyond looking after our Charlie boy he is so happy being with them it’s like his second home & we receive so many updates, videos & amazing photos I cannot thank them enough for looking after Charlie so well xx
*** Awesome service! *** My dog has been walking with Hayley and her dogs for a few months now and she absolutely loves it. It’s nice to see the videos, photos and updates after her walk. :) She gets to play with lots of dogs on a regular basis which is lovely to see. On the odd occasion we need to change the day, Hayley is very accommodating and offers alternative days if she can. It’s nice to know she is local and only does this side of Chells Manor Stevenage which means my dog isn’t in the car for long. Hayley gives plenty of notice of her holidays book which means I can sort alternative plans out well in advance. I know my dog is safe, happy and well looked after when she is with Hayley. I would definitely recommend her services :)
My dog loves her time she spends with Hayley, Craig and their lovely dogs at Fido and Friends. My dog is a Romanian rescue and Hayley has spent so much time getting to know her and now she has flourished in their daycare and boarding. They go on lovely walks and countryside adventures followed by rest, fuss and lots of attention in their lovely home. I don’t know what we would do without Hayley and Craig, my dog sees them as her second family and gets very excited when the car pulls up outside their house!
My dogs love going for a. Adventure with Hayley and co! Hayley sends great pictures of the walk and the dogs are always tired afterwards. I get a report on how they have been and it has really helped with their confidence and being more social with other dogs. I highly recommend Fido and friends for fun walks with people who really love dogs.
