We found the perfect match in Nicola and Rasto. They are a delightful couple and we couldn't have been more pleased with the loving care they gave to our herd and home. Communication was easy and prompt, they followed directions perfectly, and we came home to an immaculate house and a happy herd. It was a bonus to spend a bit of time with them before and after the sit to get to know them a bit. They are an adventuresome pair and very interested in learning about local culture in the places they visit. We wish them the best in their travels! We hope they will keep in touch and they are welcome back any time!!
I recently had Olya look after my sweet two-legged dog, Dolly, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. Olya was incredibly responsive, quickly updating me on how Dolly was doing throughout her stay. She showed great care and understanding of Dolly's unique needs. The place was left very clean, and it was clear that Dolly was comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Olya :)
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 19.99 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Vicky and Rob have been pet sitting for us for many years now and it's a great feeling going away on holiday knowing our fur babies will be well looked after. Martin was also wonderful walking our dog. Great service from people who really care about animals
We've had Vicky and Rob walk and look after our spaniels for over 11 years. They're wonderful and care so much about the dogs. Highly reliable and fully recommend. Our dogs love their walks and love Vicky and Rob too!
Would definitely recommend them, very trustworthy and caring. Have used them for years to walk our Cocker Spaniel.
It's the third year we've had Martin looking after our 3 cats while we are away. It's been such a relief knowing they are in safe hands and well taken care of. He is very friendly and sends updates everytime he visits so we don't have to worry. It is so much better for out cats as well as they don't have to go through the trauma of being relocated while we are away and they always seem very happy in the pictures we are sent of them.
Pet Sitters have recently cared for our two cats for 7 days and the service was fantastic. Our cats are very young and this was the first time we had left them for such a long period. Martin who cared for our cats clearly understands how all animals have different personalities and really listened to our details of their different behaviours. I would highly recommend this service. Martin visited twice a day to check on our cats, feed them and provided some companionship.
My border collie Sam has been walking with Yate pet sitters for 2 years. He loves both his walkers and I go to work knowing he will have a great energetic hour. They have never let me down and I would highly recommend them.
Jane is fab with our pup Flo. They both adore each other. Jane has always been good at sending me texts and pictures keeping me updated. We trust Jane in our home and are happy to have her at our house.
It doesn't matter which member of the team you get at Yate Pet Sitters they all have the same ethos. To treat you and your pet as if you were family. Every one of them goes above and beyond when looking after your pet.
Excellent care aleays given to my 2 dogs both walking and sleepovers! Home from home. Vicky treated them so well they never wanted to come home!
Great pet sitters they always do a great job
Paula and her team have been walking our dog and providing visits to our cat when we go away for over 5 years now. They really are the best around. They have taken the time to get to know our dog, understanding her body language, matching her with other dogs perfectly for walks. They are reliable and communicate regularly. I would highly recommend if you are looking for someone who you'll trust 100%!
Retro & Friends is the only place we'll take our old Jack Russell. We have used them for 5 years and I'm sure our dog prefers being there than at our house! It's a home away from home. Paula is trustworthy, hard-working and well-liked, which shows in how busy they are and their waiting lists. Other dog walking/boarding businesses come and go as people think it's an easy job. Retro & Friends will outlast them all for their professionalism, safety and kindness. They have a waiting list for a reason, so don't settle for a chancer who has lots of availability - there is a reason for that too!
Really grateful to Paula for being incredibly flexible and friendly, offering pet visits for my two dogs at late notice during a difficult time. My dogs love her and my younger dog is a big Retro fan! Highly recommend for your dog sitting / dog walker needs in Chipping Sodbury area.
An amazing place to leave your furry friend.. care and knowledge and time spent over and above what they need to do ..
Fantastic place to leave your dog, either for day care or holiday, it's home from home for the dogs!
Friendly, professional and mad about dogs!
Thank you so much for the 5 star review. We do love a happy client!
Thank you so much for leaving us a 5 star review. It really does mean alot x
Thank for your kind review. It means so much to us!x
I would like to say how pleased I am with Pippa's Patch dog walking service. Biscuit loves her walks and is much calmer and happier when we get home from work. Becky (Biscuit, Bichon Frise)
Charlie has looked after our Springers recently, I would defiantly recommend her and her business. Very professional, caring and reliable. Will be using again soon
Charlie and her son Fraser are very professional..our Golden retriever Cooper has anxiety however since Charlie and Fraser have been walking him he's more calm and so tired after a lovely long walks with them... he's also walked with other dogs so a bonus!! highly recommended 👌 they can read the dogs so they know what will work for them
I always feel really reassured when Charlie looks after our kitties. She sends regular video updates and they associate her with the toy drawer when she comes over! She is very conscientious making sure they don't escape, as she is so used to pets. Thank you Charlie for your professionalism.
I cannot recommend Charlie enough. She takes great care to get to know the dogs she looks after and I can honestly say my Labrador absolutely adores her. He waits for her every lunchtime in anticipation of his walk and that says it all for me!
Our cat was so relaxed - and even when we came back she preferred waiting outside the door for her cat lady friend to her normal routines. Clearly made a friend! And we got texts that reassured us. Will be using again
We can't recommend Vick highly enough. Helped us out at very short notice numerous times. Our Springer, Oscar absolutely loves Vick! If you're looking for a reliable dog walker who you can trust, then look no further.
We simply can’t give high enough praise for Vick’s Dog Walking & Pet Services. Vicky is wonderful with our little Ernie. She took him on at just 5 months and has been amazing at supporting us with our new puppy. Vicky has continued Ernie’s training on her walks with him and delighted us, and him, with her care and love. Ernie is always so excited to see Vicky; he loves her dog friendly van and is learning valuable social skills when he gets to walk with the other dogs in Vicky’s care. He loves his ‘solo’ walks too and we’ve all been grateful for the times when she’s just popped in to be with him for a cuddle and some comfort whilst we’ve been out of the house. We feel so reassured when Ernie is in Vicky’s care; we know he is safe, loved and having fun! I trust Vicky completely and appreciate her professionalism, dedication, flexibility and kindness. We would literally be lost without her. Thank you Vicky x
Our dog loves seeing Vick each time she pops around, and Vick is able to adjust the dates and times each week to fit around our schedules. Highly recommended.
Our 4 year old female black lab boarded for a week with Meryl at The Pet's Friend. She was very much at ease with Meryl and had a great time meeting the other dogs and going for walks with her new pals. Meryl is very kind, friendly and attentive to your dog's needs, and kept us updated with photos and messages. Our girl would have been quite happy to stay another week! I felt very much at ease leaving her with Meryl and I wouldn't hesitate to leave her in the care of The Pet's Friend again. Highly recommended. Thanks Meryl.
Meryl had my dog for me for a week when I went on holiday and he had a lush time! I was kept updated with pictures daily and was reassured that he was nice and settled. When I came home he greeted me when I went to collect him and then proceeded to walk back into Meryl’s house and sit behind her as he didn’t want to leave!! Meryl is very calm and you can tell that she has a lot of affection for the animals she cares for, I am so glad I’ve found her service and I will absolutely love to use her again in the future!! 🩷
Meryl is very patient with our cat, Coconut. Coconut's very needy (loves getting affection) and doesn't like being by herself. Meryl comes over to our house twice a day to check up on her and gives her food, affection, a bit of play, etc. Our cat seems happier when I leave her in Meryl's care than when I put her up in a cattery where she's locked away in a small area and where there are several other cats that are looked after by just 1-2 cattery staff. I'd highly recommend Meryl to anyone who's looking for a patient and caring cat sitter. She sends us photos every time she comes over to keep us updated on Coconut which is a really nice gesture for us.
Meryl takes great care of our dog. She has a genuine love of dogs and we feel very reassured when he is with her for walks or longer stays. Meryl has looked after our cat and guinea pigs too which is a great help.
I have used Meryl the pets friend since she was recommended by a friend who sends her dog to Meryl. I use Meryl for short and long stays and my 2 year old border collie loves going there. While she's with Meryl I get regular updates and photos of my dog including playing with other dogs in Meryl's care. The pets friend combines the warmth, comfort and relationship of domestic care with professional skills. I recommend Meryl the pets friend unreservedly Helen, Frenchay
Our dog, Harvey gets so excited when he sees Meryl. He loves his daily walks with her and enjoys his holidays with Meryl when we go away. Meryl is so accommodating and will always try to arrange her commitments to fit in with our needs. I would definitely recommend The Pets Friend for walks or overnight stays
Home from home for our dog. We've used The Pet's Friend 4 times now for holiday stays and he loves it there. Daily update photos are sent through and Meryl is fabulous with him. He loves the company of his fellow boarders too. Highly recommended
Meryl makes it easy to leave your dog with her knowing it will be safe and looked after. We have used her for a number of years and Cookie gets excited as we get nearer to her ‘holiday home’. Love the photo updates. Thank you for making it easy for us to go away.
Charlie has loved staying with Meryl and meeting new fur-friends. I love seeing photos of him chilling with new friends. He’s happy and settled in Meryl’s care. Thanks Meryl ⭐️
Our dog loves a stay with Meryl. Great to go away knowing she's happy and well looked after.
Fantastic care for our pooch every week ..you certainly can't go wrong if you leave your pup with Sami
As usual Enzo came back healthy and happy..and Mike's amazing collection and return service takes such a strain off of getting to the airport etc...Will be booking again soon...
We highly recommend Rock House Boarding Kennels. Our dog, Benny, has been staying there during our holidays for the past 4 years. There have never been any issues and he seems happy to be looked after by Mike.
Picked happy dog up after our holidays. She was a rescue dog originally and not used to kennels but was relatively well behaved during her stay and has come back very fit, well and happy. Clearly the owners have a great understanding of dogs and would recommend using them.
I left Dora, my highly reactive Border Collie, in Mikes care. I was extremely nervous knowing her behavioural issues. Mike called me later in the afternoon to assure me that she had settled in fine and that he had gradually introduced her to the other dogs and she had been out with them without any problems!! I would certainly recommend this establishment. Thank you Mike. I had a great relaxing holiday.
Picked up our 2 yesterday after 10 days and they were clearly very well looked after. Both seemed happy and didn't smell which is a bonus! The owners are lovely people and listen to any concerns, also love the fact that the dogs are allowed to socialise together.
Thank you for taking care of Willow for us. It's great she had the opportunity to socialise with other dogs up to 5 times a day when she wanted to. It's reassuring to know she has a safe place to stay when we are away.
Great place and Mike really gets to know the dogs and you can tell he has their best interests at heart. Second time Molly has been there and was in great shape and happy when we picked her up. Already have booked her in for our next holiday. Thank you Mike
Mike is so nice. He knows all the dogs by name and he treats them all as individuals. The kennels are very clean. The dogs have plenty of space to run. Have used for years and my dogs always come home happy.
Bobby loved his recent stay at Rock House and enjoys playing with other dogs. Would thoroughly recommend. Will be looking him in for next year most definitely.
A great place to leave you dogs whilst away The owner and his team really welcome your dogs and continues to care for them when there in his place Nice place to exersize and good size sleeping areas.. Our ridgbacks Lucy max and flo. always enjoy staying there.
