Paula was very welcoming and provided us with a useful and very thorough set of instructions. She even introduced us to the locals at the pub. Enjoyed our stay and looking after lovely Albert. Thanks Paula.
Jill and Lance have beautiful home, just across the street from beach biking pass. Holly is friendly and independent cat. The house was easy to navigate, peaceful , spotless and stylish.
This was the perfect housesit. Elizabeth was super to communicate with. Her home and neighbourhood are lovely! Dear Me2, her older cat, was so easy to care for.....just a sweet older guy! Elizabeth was kind enough to pick us up at the airport and even let us use her car (to explore the area) as we were travelling by air from Canada. With a well stocked refrigerator and the gorgeous Puget Sound area to explore who could ask for a more relaxing housesit. Thank you Elizabeth for sharing for your sweet cat and home with us.
Jullian and Alexandra are friendly and communicative, as well as caring kitty-parents. Their home is a beautiful, newly renovated, clean, two-storey home (true to photos), in a green, residential area of Toronto which is well connected to downtown and the Toronto beach. Logan is a very territorial kitty. While sweet with his family, including a young child, he is quite aggressive with outsiders. This sit is not for everyone. Jullian is aware of this and open and understanding about Logan’s behaviour, so I recommend discussing the situation openly. I strongly recommend spending a couple of mornings with Logan, possibly alone, before accepting to sit him. Kudos to this family for standing by this critter and to anyone willing to accept this challenge.
What a wonderful experience! Nancy and Michael were incredibly kind and welcoming and we felt like at home! It was really easy to keep in touch with them all the time. Crouton is such a sweetheart, he loves cuddling and sleeping but he enjoyed long slow walks with us as well. We totally fell in love with him. The whole stay was 10/10 and we are so happy and grateful for having us!
This was the best catsitting experience ever. Fiona and Goose are the most amazing cats. Fiona is talkative and cuddly, she’s a people lover, very gentle and sweet. Goose needed time to warm up, but when he did, he was coming for cuddles a lot, he’s a big cuddle bug. No words can explain how cute Fiona and Goose are! Amneris left detailed and clear instructions about cats’ feeding and watering her plants. We were in constant contact, she was always quick to respond and I felt very welcomed in her apartment. It’s a cute apartment with lots of plants and natural light. It was perfect for working from home. This sit would be perfect for cat lovers. Fiona and Goose made me very happy. Thank you Neri for this amazing experience!!!

We have now left our girl with Alev a couple of times and couldn't recommend highly enough! We get regular updates throughout the day, and you can tell how much Alev cares about the animals she looks after. Thank you Alev for looking after our girl so well!
Recently I left my boy Cody with Alev again and for sure won't be the last time. She is the only person I trust leaving my dog with, because you can see she is a loving and kind person. I received from her updates and photos of my little Cody everyday and I was able to enjoy my holiday as I known he is very well treated. I recommend Alev to every person that loves their pet if you want to leave them in a good, loving home while you are away.
My darling puppy Skye, it was hard to leave her but I knew she was in good hands. It cheered me up every time I saw updates of her being very joyful running around and causing some mischief as usual 🤗 but Alev always handling it. She showed love to my skye, which ment even if she missed me, Alev would take care and show the same passion as I do. Even though I missed her, Alev watched skye every minute making sure she was safe. So I did not need to worry 😅 I was more worried skye would be too cheeky for Alev, but somehow she was an Angel towards her. I’m addition, I loved how clean her house was. After each pet she does a deep clean, making the house smell fresh and nice. Love it 🥰. If you are looking for a dog sitter, Alev does everything so gently and lovely. She is very sweet to talk to and you can always video call or ask for daily updates and she will send them straight away. I definitely recommend ☺️ Thank you! 😇
We cannot recommend Alev enough. Our lovely Pluto has a fantastic time with Alev. Her home is very clean, pet friendly and very cozy. She always has lots of lovely activities plan for Plutos home stay. She is very accommodating to Plutos needs and is very helpful in having Pluto for last minute home stays. She will ensure to send you lots of pictures throughout the stay so that you never miss your lovely’s. The booking process is really easy and prices are really competitive. We will definitely consider booking more often with Alev - thank you Alev!
Fred had a lovely time with Alev! Her home is gorgeous and very relaxing with lots of toys, blankets and cosy spots for them to feel comfortable. She was super flexible and was able to have him for longer when my plans changed last minute and gave him lots of fuss throughout the day. She sent me pictures and updates so I knew he was in good hands. Fred is a rescue and is a little nervous, but she met us before the booking and they bonded us instantly! Wouldn't hesistate to book again - thank you Alev!
Alev is really lovely and is everything you could want from a dog sitter! Her house is full of enrichment toys and she clearly dotes on them! Everything about her communication is professional and reassuring and i loved all the photo updates! As you can see my dog made herself very at home with her! We'll be using her again and again & highly recommend! Thanks Alev!
Maple had a wonderful stay with Alev. We were kept up to date with photos which was great, especially for my sons who were initially worried about her staying with someone new. Wonderful service and would be happy to recommend.
Alev is so kind, reliable and friendly. I was worried about leaving my Lola for a week but Alev was very reassuring and kept in contact with me the whole time to make me feel at ease. I would 100% recommend her.
Back from a trip to Cambridge PawHub for a long weekend! Such a lovely clean and calm space, I know he was thoroughly cared for, and received regular updates and pictures whilst we were away. A lovely service and I heartily recommend xxxxx
Alev takes great care of my little chihuahuas, including a complicated food and medication schedule! It's clear how much she loves animals and we trust that she'll look after our gals as well as we would ourselves, so we never worry😊 …
We could not be happier with the amazing care given to my little pug, she is so well looked after she does not want to come home!, the best doggy day care that i have found by far
Amazing experience. So so happy with the way my dogs are cared for.
We had our border collie girl Joy staying with Gina and her partner this past weekend. Gina made Joy feel instantly welcome by giving her a nice cuddle and letting her explore the house and the garden. She sent lots of updates and photos throughout Joy‘s stay, showing the lovely time Joy had with Gina and her partner. They played with Joy, took her on walks and gave her plenty of cuddles. I highly recommend Gina as a pet sitter and look forward to having Joy with her staying again sometime soon. A special nice touch was that Gina had set up an eating area with a bowl for food and water for Joy at the time of arrival, very thoughtful. Thanks Gina!
I 100/100 recommend Pause for Paws, Gina has been an absolute gem with our 9 month old husky, she has come to take her out for walks & always makes sure she has everything after the walks finish. I trust her with my dog, and she is always so happy & jumpy when Gina comes to pick her up. She keeps me updated & sends pics of their walks.
Gina was fantastic with Milo. We really couldn't have wished for him to be looked after better. Gina got to know what worked best for Milo and what made him happy. He was taken on brillant walks/swims. It was also so reassuring to receive the updates and photos. We're sure Milo can't wait to stay again.
I highly recommend Gina! She took wonderful care of my dog at my home while I attended baby classes with my daughter. Over the course of a few weeks, she was reliable, attentive, and loving towards Winston. We were always kept informed as to how he was getting on. Winston absolutely adored her! Thank you for providing such great care.
Gina loves dogs and our dog loves Gina. We feel so at ease when he’s with her because we know he’ll be well cared for and it’s so lovely to leave him in a place where he’s happy (A little too happy! He’s so excited to arrive at Gina’s house that we don’t even get a goodbye from him when we drop him off 😂). When we pick him up he’s always happy and content and it’s clear that he’s had a lovely stay. So grateful to have Gina in our dogs life 🙏.
Couldn’t recommend Gina more, completely devoted to dogs and it’s easy to see how much she enjoys the work she does. Hendrix absolutely adores his time each week with her, so much so he practically sprints to her door. It’s clear he gets doted on and enjoys all the play and walks he gets with her too. Couldn’t have asked for a better day care to look after our favourite four legged house member x
Gina is a true dog lover. I can see she genuinely cares about my dog and made her feel so at home. She's great at communicating and offers a meet and greet beforehand which helps settle the nerves and made her feel comfortable before staying. I need not have worried, her place is great and her and her partner are so lovely! Highly recommend.
We can’t believe how great Gina and Javier are We’ve had Ronnie there 3 times and he has such a great time with serious personal attention. We feel comfortable leaving our boy here and hope to for as long as possible. Eddie and Donna
Would highly recommend Pause for Paws! Gina was so accommodating and understanding when looking after our nervous dog for the night, but took such amazing care of him and he absolutely loved staying with her. Will 100% use Gina's services again in the future - thanks so much!
Gina is a very sweet girl, with the owners and with the pets. She is a very reliable person, she loves Tiago and he loves her. When he hears her voice in a recoding she had sent to me, he recognise her voice and he gets very excited, jumping and going to the door to see if she is there. I trust her 100%. Tiago has spent more than a week with her when we go abroad. I highly recommend her.
Our Nigel loves Bee’s Knees and Karina, we get sent lots of photos of all the fun he has and my mind is at ease when he's there, knowing it's a home from home and being taken care of whilst I'm at work. I can't recommend bee's Knees enough 🩵 Thank you 🙏 …
This Pet Care business is more than just a business. The owner, Karina, has a magic with dogs, she loves them and they know it. Our Brussels Griffon has been visiting weekly and also has stayed overnight. Her routine is noted and all is done to make her comfortable. She loves going and never looks back when we leave her. Karina sends us photos during her stay which can be reassuring when first you leave your pet. We are lucky to have such a service locally.
Every time Loki attends The Bees Knees pet care I can see has had an amazing day! He is exhausted from playing with new friends, from walking and paddling and even some behavioural training! Karina sends me gorgeous photos of his escapades throughout the day, which are so lovely to see. I feel fully confident that Loki is in a safe, fun and loving environment when I leave him. Would very much recommend ❤️
Our puppy loves going to Bee’s Knees. She adores Karina and is always delighted to see her. It’s a real home from home, all the dogs are showered with love and have the best time. We’re so pleased to have found such a wonderful place to look after our girl, couldn’t recommend enough.
Bertie is so happy being with Karina and cannot wait to get to hers. I call her his second Mum and the service she provides is amazing. I know he has a wonderful time as she updates me every time he is there with pictures and I know he is in safe hands. Her knowledge and skills along with her professionalism are incredible. XXX
I would fully recommend Karina and the professional and fun business she runs . My dog has been going to Karina for nearly a year and he absolutely loves his time with Karina. I only have to say her name and he goes mad with excitement. As well as the enjoyment my dog gets from going to Karina he loves all of the dog walks with the other dogs. Karina has helped me massively with his walking on the lead, recall and interaction with other dogs which were initially a problem for me. I would absolutely recommend Karina to anybody
This is a home from home for your fur babies. My Cockapoo is a lockdown pup and like Velcro but he absolutely loves going to The Bees Knees and adores Karina. He has lots of fun play time and lovely long walks with his new pals that are there when he goes and he doesn’t even look back at me when I leave him. Also if the need arose I would not hesitate to book him in to board because I know I would not have to worry about him.. There are also lots of lovely videos and photos of what a good time he is having.
The Bee’s Knees really is the bee’s knees or the dogs bits! We trust Karina and co implicitly and never worry about leaving our pup with her when we go away. We searched for a while for the right type of care for when we needed it for our pup and wanted to take the time to find exactly the right person. I can whole heartedly say we have found that with the Bee’s Knees and would highly recommend them! We know he gets the best care and most of all he really enjoys it. He always gets lots of exercise, socialisation, training and cuddles. We feel that he is looked after like their own dog. We get regular updates with photos during the day which is lovely as we can see how much fun he’s having! If you are looking for someone to look after your best furry pal, look no further!
Karina is very organised and clear, and absolutely amazing with the dogs. My dog went to stay for a week and clearly had the best time ever. Excellent to not have to worry about the dog at all when away! Thanks Karina!
Incredible care for our most precious pet dog - Rocco. Genuine care, affection, training and oodles of play with plenty of varied walks.
My dogs absolutely love Carey and the team. They always consider which groups of dogs to walk them in for group walks, and my puppy has come on leaps and bounds with her training walks. We did a training session with Carey too and she had so much advice for both on walks and inside the house. DON'T: expect your dog to come home clean! DO: expect them to sleep the day away after so much activity!
Do not use. I came home to a skeletal & dehydrated cat. My cat has subsequently been put to sleep. Broached it with the sitter & got told excuses & refused a refund. Shame on Carey for continuing to deny her responsibility in this. My vet is horrified. Don’t believe the rubbish Carey is saying. Avoid at all costs. My cats aren’t skinny. They’re all super healthy. No decent sitter would have failed to see the deterioration in my cat. See you in court Carey. I’ve then been threatened re my work when I requested a refund.
My partner and I are moving out of the area soon, but top two things we will miss about St Neots are: a) daily walks at Paxton Pits, and b) Carey and the team at St Neots Pet Care. Carey has been walking our pup since he was 5 months old and it's been one of the best decisions we've made since we brought him home. He has gone from a shy and clingy puppy to a sociable, friendly, and playful dog, running out the door when Karen arrives with her van. He has an absolutely fabulous time out with his friends on each walk and comes home exhausted and happy as can be. I cannot thank the team enough for the great care and love they have shown to Merlin. Carey is hugely reachable and very accommodating, adjusting to changes in schedule and quick to get in touch with any concerns or issues with behaviour or health. I love that, as a veterinary nurse, she can check any little problems we're worried about ASAP, and it is so easy to buy our dog any number of tasty natural treats through the business. She is a wonderful contribution to the community around St Neots. Thank you so much Carey, Karen, and everyone in the team!
Carey is absolutely wonderful taking care of Gracie, our cat whilst we are on holidays. Gracie has diabetes and needs twice daily insulin injections. It’s perfect for us that Carey comes to our house, feeds, plays and gives Gracie her insulin with lots of fun in the comfort of home. I honestly can’t thank Carey enough - with her support, kindness, medical expertise and friendship gives me total peace of mind. I would recommend Carey St Neots Pet Care Services without a second thought.
I contacted Carey in a bit of a panic as I was going away on holiday and my cat, Pippa, had started showing signs of a urine infection. I knew the existing care I had in place for her was not going to be adequate as she would need medication administered. Carey was brilliant, responded really quickly and came round that day to meet me and Pippa and she was so professional, warm and friendly that I had instant confidence in her. In short, she saved our holiday, Pippa is now back to full health, and I will definitely be asking her to come again in the future.
Highly recommend St Neots Pet Care Services. Carey takes our fur baby out a few times a week and I honestly cannot fault her. She has spent training sessions with him and has taught him to walk off lead (where appropriate). I've seen her out and about on group walks and the dogs are always well-behaved. I was a bit worried about the socialisation aspect with bigger dogs as mine is quite small but Carey made sure this was done at my dogs pace and now he sits at the door and waits for her in the mornings! I get photos during the walks and the routes they have taken too. Also a huge bonus that Carey is also a qualified vetinary nurse, makes me feel even more confident that my one is in good hands!
Carey has been taking our nuisance of a dog out twice a week for several months now. She is reliable, friendly and the dog cannot wait to jump in the van each time she arrives. Working from home it's been a godsend for us knowing that the dog will be taken for a really good run regardless of the weather, and gets returned to us rinsed and exhausted. We then get a whole afternoon of peace and quiet whilst he snores away! On top of that, Carey provides us with so much great advice and guidance and is a one-stop-shop for petcare, natural treats and dog walking.
We stumbled upon Carey whilst looking for a vet nurse to pet sit for us whilst we were away for a few days. One of our house rabbits had recently had a complex operation and we wanted a vet nurse to continue her post-operative nursing care and supplementary feeds for a few days whilst we were away. Carey is friendly, extremely competant and took on the challenge with ease. We also have two parrots, another bunny and a tortoise and she did a fantastic job looking after our menagerie whilst we were away despite the list of tasks being very long! Carey kept us updated during our break and we won't hesitate to call upon her services again. Thanks Carey! :)
I can not praise Carey and her team enough. The abundance of love my fur bestie ‘Cody’ receives is unconditional. My heart literally melts every time I see the love and kindness my fur boy Cody is greeted with, and treated as thou he was their own 💕 In addition to the wonderful walkies , Carey being a veterinarian nurse means I also get Cody’s nail clipped and even teeth cleaned! Saving me loads of money and time! Cody means the world to me and my family and now the St Neots Pet Care team . I absolutely trust the team and 100% know my Cody is taken well care of . I can’t thank the team enough for all their love, care and support for my fur bestie! A massive heartfelt thank you 🙏 St Neots Pet Care is reliable and trustworthy. I wouldn’t have Cody with anyone else.
We had Carey visit us for advice on behaviour and training for our puppy, she was absolutely brilliant and the advice has been so helpful. We are also regular customers for her natural chews which have really helped save our furniture from being the victim of a tired puppy! Cannot recommend her enough 😊 …
Excellent kennel and grooming set up. We have used them for many years and many dogs, we would recommend them to anyone. Our current working Cocker likes it so much that he jumps out of the truck and goes straight to the kennels without looking back.
Your dogs could be in better hands. We’ve used the kennels for the past 3 years and the dogs think it’s a home from home. Sally and the team take such good care of our dogs, I swear they are said when we come to pick them up. Can’t recommend them enough
I'm reviewing the Parlour. Our long haired German Shepherd was groomed here. I have to say they did a fantastic job. He was very matted underneath and his trousers were in dire need of dematting as he refuses to let us brush him thoroughly. He was picked up from our house and returned a few hours later like a new dog. Not a single matt in sight, extremely shiny coat and so much more comfortable. At our request he had a lovely trim all over including his paws and trousers which has made daily brushing much more manageable. Great price and awesome service. Thank you from Enzo
Very good place for dogs to stay, they were well looked after, staff are friendly and there's plenty of room inside and out. Many thanks to the team
We came up to go to santa pod to find out no dogs on site. Called multiple places but Penhazy was only place with space. Very friendly and welcoming. My 10 week old rottweiler puppy seem to have great time and enjoyed her day hear
Katy provides a consistently professional service. Listens, understands and transforms into an attractive, weather sensitive cut. Moses can be anxious a breed but is managed well with a calm, patient manner. 🐾 …
First visit at the groomers for my Cavachon today and I'm very happy with the result. We've been to a few different groomers and this one was the best for overall groom, I will return. Dog has come out looking teddy bear fluffy with lovely rounded feet and a cute face. Very clean and smart. Professional job from friendly staff. Dog was very happy with his treatment. I arrived a little early for collection and could see him wagging his tail through the window. Parlour cleanliness needs some attention but I would recommend. Good value for money.
A great stay for our retired greyhound. All our worries were put aside upon arrival. Sally wonderful with all dogs in her care. Definitely recommend and will use again when needed. Thank you Sally very much and all the staff Quirky loved her stay.
They cancelled our August booking, made at least 4 months prior to departure, 3 working days before we were due to fly to Canada for a 2 week holiday. "Circumstances beyond our control" was the only excuse offered. Could have cost us thousands of pounds. Call around 20 kennels and serval home boarders before I found alternative kenneling. Not impressed.
Glyka loves it at Penhazy! He gets to play with other dogs, always comes home happy and exhausted. Last time he stayed the weekend, we had them clip his nails which are difficult for us to do because of his long quicks. We were very pleased with the results.
I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else. They are so kind, patient, and accommodating. It is a family home with a limit on how many dogs are there at one time, and they welcome your dog into the family. Its wonderful to get photo updates as well whilst Im away to see how happy she is. It's my favourite secret because they are incomparable to any other business.
Very helpful, kind and our dog was very happy.
