Beth and Matthew have been my first house sitters - and I was their first house sit too. Beth and Matthew have been great. I was a little nervous as this was the first time I've the zeewoi platform and service. Beth contacted me to let me know that one of my dogs had a sore on her chest and sent me a video to let me see and decide what to do. We agreed my dog needed to be seen by a vet and within a few hours my dog had antibiotics. Beth even popped into a shop to buy my dog a jumper to wear as the vet had recommended this to stop her scratching the sore. When I got home Beth had washed all their bedding and the house was clean and tidy. Both Beth and Matthew are a lovely couple and I would definitely recommend them both if you are looking for reliable and trustworthy house and pet sitters.
Erica was great! Easy to communicate with and very self -sufficient when we ended up being out of service for several days. Pingo and the house were clearly in good hands, we came back to a spotless house with a freshly made bed and a happy dog. We'd definitely have Erica again!
I am so grateful to Victoria for taking such wonderful care of my elder cats,, Zoe and Mischief, my home and my garden! She stayed in touch, and even sent photos of Zoe and Mischief, which further reassured me that my kitties and my home were in good hands while I was away. In short, I feel lucky to have connected with Victoria through zeewoi, wouldn't hesitate to call on her again, and recommend her without reservation.
This was my first time using zeewoi. Not only did I have to prepare my home for a guest but prepare myself for leaving my boys with someone I had only met through a zoom call. Right away, I was put at ease as Sharon just gravitated right to my boys. She asked questions about info that I had missed in my welcome pack that made me rest assured that she was on the ball. Throughout my trip, Sharon kept in touch with me about how the boys were getting along... I was so relieved hearing that their usual playful selves was apparent. Given that our flight home was going to be late, she insisted on waiting until we were heading out of the airport before leaving the boys with their last walk until we came home. When we walked through our front door, the boys were chilling out, our home was spotless, and she even washed the bedding. I can recommend Sharon with 100% certainty that your pets will be in great hands. Thanks Sharon for everything.
Jaclyn was a wonderful sitter for our dog Tucker! She was always quick to respond to communications, she was easy-going and excited to sit with Tucker, she shared updates (with pictures) while we were away, and she left our house cleaner than when we left - she even ran the dishwasher, which we forgot to do before we left! She and Tucker bonded immediately, and when we returned home it was clear that he had a great time with Jaclyn. We can't recommend her highly enough!
I can’t say enough good things about Felicia! She was willing to come over ahead of time so we could meet her. Lele took an instant liking to her (and I think it was mutual).😁 Felicia showed up on time, checked in on a regular basis while I was away, and sent photos of Lele, too. I tend to over prepare, and Felicia was accepting of that and helped me feel okay about my preparation and absence. I felt very comfortable leaving, knowing the most important thing, Lele, was well taken care of. This is my first time using zeewoi, so I didn’t really know what to expect. Felicia far exceeded all of my hopes and expectations. I would absolutely love to have Felicia come back again!
I am so glad that my cat, Duque, and I met Sharon! She is a wonderful person, very kind with pets, thorough with house care and communicative. Sharon's cleaning (and brownies!) went above and beyond and my cat did not seem to have missed me much when I got home. I recommend Sharon if she applies for your sit and we hope to welcome her back to our home one day.
Julie and Adrian were ideal pet and house sitters. Julie and Damian are very friendly and made sure to go over details and ask questions when they arrived. We came home to very happy and contented pets. Our dog and cat clearly got lots of love and attention (also clear from the great photos that Julie and Adrian sent us). The house was immaculate when we came home. We could not ask for better, more trusted, house sitters.
Although they are experienced pet sitters this was their first sit with zeewoi and they were wonderful. Jyoti (our cat) was completely at ease and spent plenty of time on their laps. The chickens were well looked after and they managed the broody one efficiently. Excellent communication before and during the house sit. They followed our detailed instructions conscientiously and left the house clean and tidy. They cooked a meal for us on our return and we enjoyed getting to know them. We would welcome them back any time and highly recommend them for future sits.
Lea was so wonderful, we highly recommend her. She was friendly and communicative throughout, sending us daily updates and photos. We returned back to a beautifully cleaned house and a very happy cat, we are so grateful- she was an absolute delight

Sharon is the best dog sitter I have ever used. She loves dogs so much, is flexible, kind and just generally lovely. My dog absolutely loves her and always has. She keeps you up to date with photos and videos, and adapts to your dog’s own needs. 5 stars isn’t enough! I look forward to using All Inclusive Pooches for many years to come!
Firstly, we like to say a huge thank you to Sharon and her family!!! This is my first experience with a pet service. All Inclusive Pooches have made this process so smooth. Sharon kept us updated with photos and videos of our baby girl, which put my mind at rest whilst we were away. My dog is nervous around others but completely took to Sharon and her family and enjoyed all of the fuss and attention that they gave her in our absence. The Greet and Meet Service was fantastic, I knew then that we had made the right decision to use All Inclusive Pooches. I would highly recommend this service with anyone who has a dog. They have a long term customer with me now!!! Thank you once again.
Me and my 2 cousins went to stay at All Inclusive Pooches 19 days ago We would have written a review sooner but been busy looking for another holiday to send our humans on so we can go and stay again soon In short Hugs - fabulous Playtime - beyond fun Chill time - gorgeous 1 to 1 entertainment - amazing Breakfast - better than at home Love the place Need to get back ASAP Billy, Bella and Clarkie xxx
Sharon is really great with the dogs, very knowledgeable and experienced. Our dog is quite nervous meeting new people and Sharon handled the first meeting so well, giving my dog space and my dog was calm straight away and had a great time. It is a lovely home set up for the dogs and I would highly recommend
Needed someone to look after our little dog, Eric as all the family were going away for a wedding. I found Sharon and Chris after looking everywhere. Read the reviews and thought I’d give them a call. So glad I did, Sharon answered all my questions and put me at ease with the answers . This was the first time we’ve had to leave him and we were nervous.We had a meet and greet and were most impressed again with their knowledge and hospitality as the whole family turned up to check them out and all said they were satisfied and I got a pat on the back for finding them. The treatment Eric received was first class and put the whole family at ease to enjoy the wedding. We were kept in touch with pictures and videos of Eric enjoying himself with other dogs and slightly worried in case he didn’t want to come home. I can highly recommend them for putting your dogs needs first and foremost. Top professionals and lovely people as well. Thank you again Sharon & Chris ❤️
We can't thank Sharon and Chris enough for looking after Dotty so well. The care and attention they gave to her to help her settle into their home was outstanding and above and beyond our expectations. We had regular updates and lots of photos and videos of her having fun on walks with their other lovely, friendly dogs. Their home is a wonderful, relaxed and friendly environment for dogs to settle in and Dotty loved being treated like part of the family. Sharon and Chris are fantastic, warm and friendly people who's knowledge of dogs and how to meet their needs to settle them in is outstanding. We can highly recommend All Inclusive Pooches , thank you again Sharon and Chris for looking after Dotty so well you are superstars!!!
My pup Winston has just been for a boarding trial with Sharon and Chris. There is nothing better than feeling like you’re leaving your dog with someone who loves them just as much as you do, which is exactly the experience we had. I didn’t have any anxiety about leaving him with Sharon and Chris and knew he was probably having a better time than he does with us! They clearly know their stuff and also don’t make you feel like your dog has to behave perfectly all of the time to be there. Winston slept all day when we got him home which is testament to how much he enjoyed himself with Sharon, Chris and their doggies. We will definitely be getting him booked in for future dates and will be so glad to not worry whilst we are away!
Sharon and Chris look after our 7 month old cocker spaniel puppy twice a week. He loves going - so much so that he drags me straight to their doorstep as soon as we get out of the car. He's also stayed the night once and we feel comfortable that he's safe in a home from home environment with two people who genuinely love dogs. The service they provide is also completely bespoke and we know he will get the exact same care he would at home.
What can i say.... this wad the first time leaving him longer than few days . Very anxious and nervous about everything All Inclusive Pooches put my mind at ease from the start. Incredible professional, empathic and caring service. He had the best time and the update and photos whilst Away was the best and most thankful for. Beyond highly recommend he will be going for many stays in the near future. All Inclusive Pooches and Sharon 10s across the board! Thank you once again 😁
All Inclusive Pooches are fantastic at looking after our dog. Sharon and Chris are lovely people and their home is a great environment for our dog to stay, mix with other dogs and develop within themselves. Sharon and Chris' knowledge around dogs is brilliant and they are very professional indeed. Our dog has a great time here and we look forward to taking him back. The service here is fantastic, we couldn't want for anymore! Fab place for dogs!!
Our dog Seth loves Pipa. We love the care she shows him. Her enthusiasm for her job is clear. We found her to do some last minute cover, but she has now become a regular dependable walker for Seth. I recommend her services.
Highly recommend! Pipa looked after my dog for a few days while I was in hospital and in spite of my concerns around some of his behaviour issues I needn’t have worried as she helped him settle in very quickly and with frequent long walks he was living his best life for a few days! Thank you for taking such good care of Albus!
Pippa is an excellent dog walker - reliable, timely and very loving with the dogs. She sends lovely updates and looked after our nervous boy brilliantly. We were sad to say goodbye due to moving and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walking service
Pippa has been incredible! My puppy Violet is nervous and hated leaving the house- Pippa was so patient and spent time building her confidence, she really cares. Violet now goes on group walks and Pippa takes the time to make sure that she is accompanied only with other dogs of a similar disposition. She sends me lovely pictures and videos each time she takes her out. Violet adores her and is so excited to see her when she comes to collect her. What a lovely lady and fantastic service- I wouldn’t entrust my precious girl to anyone else.
I recently had the pleasure of using Pipa’s dog sitting services and I can confidently say that she was absolutely amazing! My partner and I needed a sitter for our two dogs last minute as our Airbnb did not allow us to leave them alone. Pipa accommodated us with less than 24 hours notice and kindly picked up and dropped off the pups. We felt very confident that our dogs were in good hands and well looked after. I would highly recommend Pipa’s services to anyone in need of reliable and caring dog sitter.
Pipa stayed at our house with our dog Lupe for one week. Lupe loved having Pipa at our house while we were away. Pipa also walked Lupe every day and made sure she got plenty of running and play with other dogs. When we arrived, Pipa and Lupe were at home waiting for us. I could honestly tell that Lupe had had a very good week and that was very happy and settled. We highly recommend Pipa's Playful Pets services to anyone who love their pets and want them to be looked after and loved as if they were theirs.
Pipa has been walking our beagle for over three months now. She is reliable and friendly. Our dog has really taken to her and she has a great time playing with Pipas other furry friends. They go to lots of different places and we get lots of pics and video clips each time!
Pipa provides a great experience for our dog and our cat. She loves animals but more importantly is very thoughtful and experienced. She provides safe care as well as compassionate care - and that is key
Pipa walks our dog Luna three times a week and has been enthusiastic, understanding and reliable. Pipas takes the time to understand the dogs individual needs, Luna is an 11yo rescue dog and has her quirks- to know she is well looked after is amazing! We have seen Luna grow more confident with other dogs- thank you Pipa!
THANK YOU - Pipa looked after our two dogs (Teddy & Sugar) for a week while we were away. She sent us several photos of them while they were having fun, gave them baths and looked after them so well, we were really happy with the service and cost and would not hesitate in recommending Pipa to anybody. Thanks again and we will be in touch when we next go away. Thank you :)
Our dog Vimes goes crazy with excitement for these walks, he loves every second of it and is always a happy dog when he returns. Faye and her team are brilliant, they are so attentive and flexible for each dogs needs. The photos from every walk are fantastic, it is great to see what adventures Vimes gets up to each day. Have been amazing with him ever since he was a puppy, could not recommend more.
Our Frenchie Dougie absolutely loves his walks! He’s a dog that found doggie daycare to be too much, too many dogs, so the group walk is perfect for him. Faye and the team take such good care of him, and I love the service report. Highly recommend
We’ve been using Ozzies dog walking service since October and they are fantastic. Such a wonderful service and team, Jack loves his walks and always comes home ready for a nap! The online booking system is very easy to use and the service report photos are great.
We’ve been using Ozzies Fur-Ever Friends for a few months now and they are brilliant. The walkers are so friendly and helpful. Our dog, Eddie, LOVES his walks and gets so excited whenever he hears them open the door. Eddie comes back such a happy and tired doggo. They also send you pictures from the walk which is a really lovely touch.
When we rescued our puppy Daisy from a Bulgarian shelter 5 months ago, we met a dog who loves everything and everyone, but desperately needed a confidence boost with a lot of things. After trying a bigger local warehouse style daycare a couple times, the sheer scale was all just far too much for her and she’d come back in a bit of a daze. We never got updates and never felt confident she was really enjoying it. We set out to find something more tight knit and relationship focused, and Ozzies Fur Ever Friends was just that. After some initial nerves, Daisy now cannot wait for her daycare, bounds off to the car, and comes back super happy, calm and ready for a nap! She loves the whole team and is always so happy to see them, shes especially fond of Yuki who really helped at the start bringing her around and giving her confidence. For us, the photo/notes updates we get after any service are a great feature, and the flexibility and simplicity with booking and transport works perfectly for us. Thank you Faye & team!
We've been using Ozzie's furever friends for nearly 2 years now. Otto loves his walks with Faye and the other walkers. The booking system is really efficient and flexible (easy to cancel walks if plans change). Thanks to Faye and the team, Otto always comes back tired and happy!
Our pup loves going out with the team. When the van is around the corner, he will start crying racing downstairs to sit by the door ready to go, tail wagging madly. The team go above and beyond, either cleaning paws when dirty or popping him into his crate if he’s super muddy. They keep in constant contact, providing photo updates and feedback, if needed, about how the walk has gone.
Our dog is part of our family and the team at Ozzie’s treat her just like a member of their own. All the walkers are lovely, trustworthy and reliable and our dog absolutely loves her group dog walks with them every week. We have also sent her home boarding when we have been away and it takes all the stress away knowing she will be treated like their own pet and really well looked after. Would 100% recommend to anyone in need of a dog walker/home boarding.
Both of my dogs love going on walks with Faye and her team. Ozzie's fur-ever friends has always been very accommodating when booking walks. The team are friendly and reliable and I would highly recommend them.
Faye and Ozzies have walked and boarded both of my dogs for a number of years now and I've always been very happy with them. They are very willing to work with you to accommodate your dog's needs and are super efficient and organised. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to leave their dog in safe and capable hands.
We were so relieved to find Amanda at short notice and were delighted with her services. She visited our cat twice a day while we were away and sent us updates to show he was happy and eating. Excellent all round.
My dog Ruby loves Amanda and is so excited for her walks. It’s certainly the highlight of her day! She’s also stayed very happily at Amanda’s while we were on holiday. We were provided with lots of photos so we could see that she was very content. Amanda provides a very professional service and also ensures the dogs she walks get on well together.
Amanda has been great for my dog as a regular walker. He took to her straight away and comes back each time as happy as larry. She's reliable and great value too. The way each week is set up really works for me. Thanks Amanda for a thoughtful approach to service 🐾 …
Amanda looked after my mother-in-law’s cat while she was away visiting her daughter. It was a very last minute request but Amanda came to do a home visit the very next day and immediately reassured us. Sasha was taken good care of and it was good to know she was in safe hands. We will definitely be using Paws ‘n’ Claws again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others. Thank you.
Amanda is a fantastic dog walker and cat sitter. Our dog Olive loves spending time with her and always comes home exhausted! Amanda has also looked after our cat and always sends photos to keep us updated
Amanda has been completely amazing with our little darling. Each time Amanda comes through the door, our little cherub becomes the most excitable thing. He really loves her so much and that is because of the care and attention (and fun) he gets each day. I cannot recommend Paws n Claws enough. Such love and dedication to what they do. Thanks so much for making everything so much easier!
Amanda looked after our cat for a whole week while we were away. She came round for introductions and Cleo loved her straight away! Often stand-offish, she turned into a puddle of purrs. Amanda is friendly, professional and clearly has a way with animals. We felt completely happy trusting Cleo to her care and would definitely use her services again. P.S. Cleo says thanks for all the Dreamies!
100% recommend! Amanda has been amazing with Tigger and he absolutely loves going on groups walks with PawsNclaws. Amanda is very responsive and always keeps you updated with everything. Tigger is always buzzing when he knows it's time to go out and he loves the freedom to run, sniff, splash etc. One tired pup when he comes home! So glad we found you and that Mr T has a new bunch of friends to play with!
Amanda is brilliant with both dogs and humans! As a first time owner I was too nervous to let my pup off lead, Amanda gave me the confidence to try it and we’ve never looked back. Now Thelma has much nicer walks. She’s made a huge difference, highly recommend!
Amanda is amazing, and my dog thoroughly enjoys going out with her. She is so kind and patient with the dogs, and takes them on some lovely walks. We love the photos we get too! I highly recommend 👍🏻 …
Our little cavapoo loves going to the Doodle House - as soon as we get out of the car she’s pulling me up Jo’s drive and clawing at the front door to get in! Jo has such warmth and genuine care for every dog staying at her house. Ours has done one overnight stay but having already been to the Doodle House many times for daycare we knew our little pup would have an amazing time and we were able to have a relaxing night away knowing she’d be cared for beautifully. Jo always gives regular updates and sends photos and videos of what the doggies get up to and I can see our little pup having a ball. Jo responds to messages quickly when asking about availability and getting booked in. I cannot recommend the Doodle House enough for doggy daycare and boarding. We know for sure that after our holiday in a few months’ time that our dog won’t want to leave the Doodle House ☺️
Our little Frankie had an amazing time at the Doodle House while we were on holiday. Jo has been so thoughtful and loving, making sure he has had fun-filled days of activities as well all the home comforts. Our regular photo and video updates became a highlight of our holiday and we could see how happy he was. He’s made lots of doggy friends and is definitely missing Jo. I could not recommend the Doodle House highly enough and we are looking to secure a booking for next summer…
Jo is simply amazing! Our two Colliepoos/Bordoodles boarded with Jo for 8 nights and they honestly had THE best time! Jo is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and loved our dogs as if they were her own. I received updates with photos at a minimum of daily but often two to three times a day. Jo walked them a couple of times each day, provided lots of enrichment activities, tonnes of treats, booked dog parks and dog sensory rooms and provided so much love to the dogs. It was also a bit of a heat wave during their stay and Jo ensured they were properly taken care of with respect to the heat too. Jo’s house is perfect with a big open plan kitchen and a lovely garden with lots of space. Jo accommodated our dogs’ sleeping arrangements with their crate and allowed them to roam around the house during the day, relax on the sofa and even had the odd cuddle with Jo in her room. Our dogs weren’t only taken care of by Jo but they were accepted into and loved by Jo’s whole family whilst they stayed. Everyone in the house formed such a bond with the dogs. It was emotional collecting them because I could see how much The Doodle House had become a true home for the dogs during their stay. Jo does everything by the book, covers all bases with her forms and allowed us to organise multiple overnight visits on the lead up to the long 8 nights. I honestly couldn’t recommend Jo more! Our dogs had an amazing time. Jo provided such peace of mind and it meant I could truly relax whilst away, knowing the dogs were having a great holiday themselves. We will be booking in with Jo as much as she’ll have us, she’s absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much Jo x
I was really excited when I found out about The Doodle House because I knew Jo when she was a childminder and I knew how much love and attention she gave to the children in her care. She now puts just as much effort and love into caring for the pups. Jo went above and beyond, taking great care of Cookie, sending loads of pics and videos every day, treating her as part of the family, allowing her to sleep beside her, lots of trips out to parks and doggie play centres, daily activities, paddling pools and doggie olympics! She even brought Cookie home to greet us as we got out of the taxi, what a lovely surprise! The kids were so happy to see her. It was lovely to see how Cookie had bonded with Jo and her family. We’ve already booked Cookie in with Jo for our next trips away.
My experience with The doodlehouse was one of a kind. I was very hesitant to go on holiday as was struggling to find a reliable pet sitter for my 2 cockapoo girls. I’ve never left them with anyone and kennels were not an option. I was worried thinking to myself “Will I be able to find someone who will treat them like their own and let them be on the couch and let them sleep on their bed”….I started to panic and considered cancelling my holiday. After months of searching, I came across Joanne through a recommendation, so I sent an email and received a reply right away. We spoke on the phone and agreed for a meet a greet. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed as her home has a big open plan kitchen and cute garden with plenty of space to play and toilet. I also met her two little dogs (Monty and Elsie) who were so lovely. Jo greeted me warmly and took the time to answer all my questions and address any concerns I had about leaving my pet. You could tell she was genuinely caring and showed a deep understanding of animal care. I could not believe she was just like me… crazy about her fur babies!! TRIAL: I proceeded to book an overnight trial to see how my dogs would get on. One of my dogs Bella is SUPER anxious/shy (brown) and the other Cheeky is very clingy (red) to me. Jo provided updates as the night went on and I was shocked to see my clingy dog snuggled next to her on the bed. Jo provided honest update and said my other dog Bella was a little anxious but eventually settled. I appreciated her honesty and she gave me reassurance it would take time for my anxious dog to settle, and she would be fine. The night before their stay my red cockapoo had to have her nail pulled so I had to tell Jo about this as she needed medication for a few days. Jo did not even hesitate and said no problem. I left instructions for her to administer her meds and all fine. I put all my trust in Jo and her family and left my girls with her for 2 weeks. Throughout my pet's stay, I received daily updates, photos and even videos, which gave me reassurance and I really enjoyed my time away because I knew my girls were having a blast. My girls were entertained and taken to various enclosed parks, stimulating games and more games in her home. Haha! My anxious/shy dog (brown) was TOTALLY enjoying herself and well the clingy dog (red) looked like she FORGOT all about ME! :D Collection day.. they were in great spirits, which indicated to me that they had been treated with love and attention during their stay. Their hair was nicely brushed, and they both smelled lovely and even had little bandanas which was such a sweet touch. I HIGHLY recommend Jo you won’t regret it. Truly a unique experience and I will be using her services again in the future. If you're looking for a safe and caring place to board your pet, look no further than The doodlehouse ❤ thanks Jo xx
Jo loves my dog as much as I do, or even more! She takes such special care to provide all her doggy guests with a fun packed and entertaining series of activities - you dont just sit in the house when you stay at the Doodlehouse! Our pup has just had his third overnight visit. He couldn’t wait to go in and was welcomed with open arms. We were kept updated on a very regular basis with photos of our pup having his best time, out and about on lovely walks and enjoying lots of play. I can’t recommend Jo enough. Her whole family are involved in making sure all her guests are made to feel welcome and loved.
Joanne provides an incredible service at The Doodle House. My wife and I have two little girls, an F1 Cockapoo (Bella) and an F2 Cockapoo (Chica). We were so iffy about taking a holiday that we looked at many different options, such as kennels. None of them could have lived up to the attention and care that Joanne provided. We constantly interacted via WhatsApp throughout our travels and received daily photos/videos. Also, one of our girls (Chica) had her nail pulled a day before we were due to travel, and Joanne was so understanding. We did leave notes as medication had to be given, but we just felt so at ease. I didn't worry whatsoever, and I completely trusted Joanne. Bella struggles with anxiety, too, but I feel like that went out the window. She was running and socialising with other dogs as normal. It was beautiful to see. Joanne provided a unique service. She treated our girls like her own, and I can't thank her enough. I would 100% recommend her to anyone and will continue using her services going forward.
What can I say? Jo at the doodle house is incredible for our boy Dexter. He gets so excited when he arrives, and from the regular WhatsApp message updates, pictures and videos I can see why. From trips to different enclosed play areas and parks to stimulating craft games. We're so fortunate to have such a wonderful service so close to home. We couldn't recommend the doodle house more highly.
We chose to board our dogs with Jo and her family because it was a true home from home experience, filled with the best care and lots of love. Jo is so thorough, really knows her stuff and keeps us updated on our dogs adventures with them! From our first meeting the dogs settled in and made friends with her doodles, who are the cutest and friendliest dogs. Whilst our dogs stayed with them we had lots of updates including videos and photos, communication is fantastic and we loved following their adventures. When we came to collect them after a few days they were so relaxed and content, they didn’t want to leave! We can’t wait to try out some day care days with the doodle house and know that they will be in the best care when we next go on holiday. Thanks Jo and family!
Joanne treats all dogs that visit/board as her own - and takes a real interest into your dog’s likes/dislikes and personality. Joanne’s home is lovely and very well equipped to dog boarding. When our dog stays with Joanne, we receive multiple photo and video updates over each day - and we never have to worry about whether our dog is having a good time, which allows us to switch off and enjoy our time away. I would highly recommend Joanne to any doodle owner 😊
Kate has walked our dog for a few years now and her service is fantastic. She is extremely reliable, flexible and diligent, always keeping us informed on his behaviours on the walks. Kate and Ralph have a great relationship, as soon as he hears her van he dashes to see her and doesn’t look back, and always arrives home ready for a sleep! I would recommend this service to anyone looking for a great dog walker.
Kate has been great — she used to take Ruby for a walk twice a week, and took her to lots of different places, where she made friends with the other dogs she takes. Kate absolutely loves dogs, and has been marvellously flexible when we've needed to change times or add an extra walk. We've now moved out of the area, so she doesn't take her for regular walks, but she's taken Ruby for an overnight stay at her house several times, which Ruby has really enjoyed. I'd recommend Kate very highly for anyone looking for a reliable and flexible dog-walker.
Kate has been walking our dog now for a few years and he always loves it when she arrives to take him out. She is always very flexible and can usually help out at short notice. She also occasionally takes him out at the weekend, again usually at short notice. The walks also don’t seem to be rushed and therefore he gets a good amount of time out each day.
Kate helped me out massively when I needed a pet taxi. We never met, but we conducted the info via text, she arrived promptly to collect my dog and dropped him off with the minimal of fuss. Texted me updates. Can’t fault her and will deffo use again for walks or boarding based on her standard today. Highly recommend.
So glad that we found Kate, she took great care of our cat whilst we on holiday and he adores her! She’s reasonably priced, extremely professional and we’ll definitely be using her again.
We have trusted Kate to look after our cat, whenever we are away, for a few years now. Excellent service and we couldn't be happier with the care given. Very competitive on price too! Would recommend.
Kate is a devout animal lover who truly has a passion for what she does. If you are looking for someone to love your dog the way you do, look no further. You won't be disappointed, Kates K9 walks is simply the best your pet could get!
Kate’s K9 Walks looked after my elderly cat while I was away. I was very pleased with the way he was looked after as he has a special diet and needs a bit more care than the average cat. Thank you K9 walks for looking after him.
Ralph has had a great time with Kate. She is reliable and I would trust Ralph with her totally. He always goes and comes back with a wagging tail. The regular posts are lovely to see.
Professional, reliable, kind, Kate looked after our cat several times when we were away from home. Highly recommended.
So happy we found Natalie (and I think the dog is too)! I have a very energetic Australian labradoodle and Natalie takes him on long and varied walks so he gets lots of stimulation and it shows as he is always tired in the evening after being out with her. Natalie is reliable, punctual and excellent communication. Very easy to book in with and has allowed me to be flexible with my shifts. Highly recommend!
Natalie is a highly professional and trustworthy person who absolutely loves the dogs she cares for and walks. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a reliable dog walker. Thanks Natalie!
Being a 1st time dog owner as an adult, I found Natalie to be a great source of advice and reassurance that I was doing ok in how I was caring for and raising my boy Wex! As a pandemic pup it really helped develop his socialisation with other dogs being able to go out on group walks with Natalie and her fur pals and judging by the videos and photos she shared, he clearly had a great time! I cannot recommend Natalie and It’s a Dogs Life highly enough
Natalie was brilliant from the first day we met her. We could tell from the first meeting with our Dog that Natalie was an absolute natural and would no issues. Her communications was brilliant and we definitely recommend her to anyone Natalie looked after our dog for a long weekend in our house :)
Natalie has been fantastic! The dogs love her, and nice to see video updates of them enjoying their walks. Would definitely recommend.
Highly recommend Natalie from It’s a dogs life. Oz loves his twice weekly walks with her and is always shattered when he returns. You can see from the photos she shares how much fun all the fur pals are having! We’ve been using Natalie for a few months now and she’s very flexible, reliable and we’re really so pleased we found her. Thanks so much from Ozzie & Family 🐶
Natalie has walked and boarded our family dogs for years now. She is extremely experienced in working with dogs on a one to one and in groups and they always return to us happy and relaxed. We can go on holiday and relax completely knowing they are in the best hands - we wouldn't leave them with anyone else. Thanks Natalie!
Natalie has been walking and boarding my beloved Frenchie Freddie for a few years now and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! Freddie loves his long walks, and Natalie offers a friendly and flexible service and cares extremely highly for the doggies she walks. Thanks Natalie! Xx
Natalie has been looking after Tom since he was a puppy. Initially doing puppy visits and then walks. Tom adores her. I would highly recommend It’s A Dog’s Life.
Natalie has a lovely manner with our dog, really reliable and has brilliant with weekend as well as day care. Would highly recommend her
Suki and Edwin are hands down the best pet sitters in Manchester! They took care of my dog, Fay Fay (a very picky boy), for two weeks, and I couldn't be more grateful. From the start, they showed such genuine care and love for him, and it’s clear they both have a passion for animals. Fay Fay can be quite particular, especially with his food, but Suki takes special care of his diet, ensuring he's well-fed and content. They also take him out for walks and playtime, which he absolutely enjoys. Suki and Edwin’s own dog, Eevee, is so well-trained and gets along wonderfully with Fay Fay. It’s heartwarming to see how comfortable Fay Fay is around her, and it really shows how well Eevee is raised. One of the best parts is that they sent us photos and videos of Fay Fay every day during his two-week stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I really appreciate their professionalism, the daily updates, and their flexibility. I highly recommend Suki and Edwin to anyone looking for loving and reliable pet sitters! ❤️
Best dog sitter in Manchester! Suki is without a doubt a top tier dog sitter. She looked after our labradoodle reggie for just over a week and although reggie usually hates us going away, he had so much fun and was given 5 star attention and love throughout his stay. We were given regular updates everyday with pictures and videos. Reggie has quite a strict food regimen and Suki was so flexible and accommodated everything we asked. Reggie also has some medical issues and Suki was able to respond to these quickly and highly professionally, even administering difficult medication when needed. We feel like there’s no one more skilled and safe to leave your dog with than her. Could not recommend her services enough. Everything down to the smallest detail was tailored perfectly for Reggie’s stay. Thank you so much, we cannot thank you enough for going above and beyond for Reggie. And I’m sure he misses you all and Evee!
We brought our 4 months old Pomeranian boy to Suki’s place for boarding for a few days. Suki is very responsible and friendly. She kept updating us on how our boy did during the day. She also told us lots of useful information as we have never kept a dog before. Our boy has had his first walk out with Suki too. PS; Suki’s pet, Eevee is very gentle. She acts like a big sister taking care of my boy :)
Absolutely the BEST dog sitter I've ever had the pleasure of working with! This sitter wasn't just responsible and detail-oriented; they went above and beyond to keep me updated with countless videos and photos, showcasing my dog's daily activities and overall well-being while I was out of town. They adhered to a strict feeding schedule, ensured timely walks, and to my delight, there was a noticeable improvement in my dog's behavior. My dog didn't just return home in better physical health but also exhibited signs of improved mental wellness. The frequent updates provided a comforting window into my dog's day, allowing me to see their joyful moments and peaceful rest times, which truly eased my mind while I was away. I wholeheartedly recommend this sitter to anyone in need of an attentive and caring professional for their pet. Their commitment to my dog's care and happiness was evident, making them an invaluable partner in pet care.
They provide excellent care for my senior dog, and we trust them completely. When we travel, they send us regular updates with photos and videos. I highly recommend their pet sitting and boarding services to all my friends."
Excellent pet accompanying service. My cat need to be accompanied for 4 days during my trip away from Manchester. Thanks for Suki, she gives me a before trip advice and with good communication during my trip. I can keep track on my cat and Suki always send me pictures of my cat to cure my home sick. Thank you for being so kind to take well care to my little angel. Will definitely come back for the service!
The best dog sitter! I left my cocker spaniel for the first time for 2 weeks, so I was very nervous. We were sent lots of photos and videos every day, which made our holiday so much more enjoyable as we weren’t worried at all! He was very well looked after and they even helped train him in things we’ve been struggling to! He came back a much calmer and well behaved dog as well as us being given lots of useful information for us to better train him going forward. Their dog Eevee is so calm and patient with our dog, they got on so well! I will only use Pokepooch Pet Care for our future holidays.
Great dog boarding service we never had before. Suki is a warm and experienced person, flexible for our needs. And taking good care of my puppy Roxy. Everything they do is much appreciated.
Wonderful stay. They took excellent care of our dogs, happy and safe environment. Suki keeps me updated all the time and I felt so relieved. Highly recommended!
Amazing Dog Sitter!! Cooper had a wonderful time, had a very long walks, lot of play time and rest. Very responsable, attentive and always reliable.
We were delighted with how Nicola looked after our cat, Cosimo. Her updates and communication were excellent. She’s professional and so considerate. Cosimo isn’t always comfortable around other people but Nicola clearly loves animals and is skilled at caring for them so they bonded in no time! It was so reassuring to know that he was in good hands. I highly recommend her and we will definitely always use her services in the future.
Nicola was such a caring and loving person, and also trustworthy and professional. She looked after of my rats, degus and hamster when I was away for a week. Everyone was happy and healthy so she did an amazing job. I will highly recommend her to anyone whose pets need some love and attention while you are on holiday.
Nicola has been walking Betsy for over a year and we are SO glad to have found her. Betsy can be really iffy with strangers but Nicola was patient with her and they were best friends from day one. Betsy's daily walk with Nicola is the highlight of her day, I can't recommend Pawz Patrol highly enough :)
Nicola has been walking my dog Archie for 6 months and she’s been great! Archie is a rescue who doesn’t like other dogs and Nicola has been great with him, doing solo walks and keeping a distance from other dogs. She incredibly reliable and Archie loves his walks! Thank you 😊 …
Monty has been with Pawz Patrol for a few months now and absolutely loves it! I thought he would be limited to solo walks as he had anxiety but he really enjoys the group walks and has made great doggie friends. As a lockdown puppy, I was worried about him going to a dog walker after me working at home but he was fine within a few weeks and Nicola worked really hard to ensure he settled. I couldn’t recommend Pawz Patrol highly enough!
Nicola clearly loves animals and is very organised and reliable. We were delighted to receive updates about our cat while on holiday, including photos. She also went above and beyond by watering plants and doing some other household tasks etc! Highly recommended.
Nicola was excellent in caring for our guinea pigs whilst we were away for a weekend. Her daily home visits included updates on our boys and we knew they were in the best hands.
Nicola has been walking our puppy for the past month. She has given us complete peace of mind when we're at work and our puppy is very happy. Would highly recommend Pawz Patrol.
Nicola is great with my 13 yr old Westie. When she arrives at the door his loyalty to me vanishes. He's out the door like a shot!! He has definitely benefitted from being socialised. Clearly has fun going by the nap he has when gets back!! 😂😂 Nicola is reliable, communicates well and has a wealth of knowledge.
Brilliant dog walker - would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks for all that you do to give Molly such lovely walks and keep her safe and clean in all weathers! Your flexibility also hugely helps out family. You go above and beyond. Thanks again
I can't recommend Mandi enough! She took exceptional care of our two Sphynx cats, who absolutely love her. It’s the third time that she looked after our boys we could not appreciate more her services. From the moment we met her, it was clear she was committed and passionate and professional about her work. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. We received regular updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. If you need someone who genuinely loves and understands cats, Mandi is the perfect choice. He Our cats can't wait to see her again! Many thanks for doing this brilliant job! You are a star!
What a wonderful service, came twice a day to feed my fur babies, spending longer than the agreed 20 mins. I think Mandi fell in love with Bertie, my younger cat, and I received daily photos and the occasional video. Would I ask her to come again? In a heartbeat, if you're looking for a reliable catsitter look no further
Mandi has looked after my cat, Cosmo, on a number of occasions. Initially, I was looking for someone to look after him as a 'one off' situation because I couldn't get a friend to help out, but I've since decided to always go back to Mandi. Mr Cosmo is a very nervous boy and he generally hides away whenever anyone steps into my apartment. Mandi realised that he needed a gentler approach and miraculously, she manages to get him to come out for pets every time she looks after him. Clearly she can read animals very well. The best part is the daily updates/pictures/videos that put me totally at ease so I can enjoy my trip. Fabulous service and a lovely lady to work with. Cosmo and I will most certainly be back!
**SAFE PAIR OF HANDS - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** What an absolute gem Mandi is. We were very wary of using a new person after a bad experience with a different sitter a few years ago. Mandi went out of her way to reassure us and took impeccable care of our cat, sending daily updates and offering suggestions on how she could help our little anxious fur ball while we were away. Her love of animals shines through, and our very aloof (rescue) cat instantly warmed to her.
"EXCELLENT dog walker“ 🐾 My dog Hector is a very energetic 2 year old Labrador and he loves going out for walks with Mandi. When he hears her car outside the house he bounces around excitedly at the front door waiting to see her. We first met Mandi nearly in May 2023 and Hector instantly felt comfortable in her company. I was so happy when Mandi agreed to add him to her weekly schedule as he is much bigger than most of Mandi’s regular 4 legged friends, but she got to know him and built up a super rapport with him and he’s very attentive to her commands and communication and very well behaved and obedient on her walks with other dogs too. Initially Mandi came for a few weeks to give Hector ‘comfort breaks’ as he had recently had live inoculations and couldn’t mix with other dogs. He was stimulated with toys and games and very much enjoyed the treats (which are high value and nutritious) as rewards, as all Labradors do love their food! Once he could mix again Mandi was careful to pair him with her other charges as Hector was nearly 2 feet tall by then and very bouncy. Mandi is totally trustworthy (we feel confident that she holds house keys to take care of Hector whilst we are out) diligent, conscientious and very caring with all the animals she takes into her care and her gentle and ‘firm but kind’ tone of voice and body language reflect these qualities too helping the dogs to feel at ease and strengthens the bond which Mandi has with them. Hector has a weekly walk with Mandi and comes back after having a full hour out (sometimes a little longer too) very tired and sleeps soundly afterwards. We got regular updates via text message also videos in the early walks which ensured us that ‘all was well’ and that Hector was safe and having lots of fun on the many different walks and surroundings Mandi would go. I regularly request extra walks and Mandi always manages to fit us into her busy schedules which helps us very much, and letting us know the day before what time she will arrive, so accommodating! I would definitely happily recommend her services to anyone she is responsible, reliable and very trustworthy and loves animals deeply, also with her great experience coupled with an extensive wealth of dog behavioural knowledge, Mandi gives me total confidence that Hector is in ‘great hands’ and is extremely well looked after, which is so reassuring. Big thanks Mandi for all your valuable help and care, Jay Johnson & Hector 🐾
I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional care my beloved cats received from Mandi while I was away. Not only did she provide an outstanding service, but she also went above and beyond by sending me multiple heartwarming pictures of my two playful sphynx cats, which instantly put my mind at ease. Her dedication and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. The peace of mind I felt knowing that my cats were in such capable and caring hands was truly priceless. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mandi to anyone seeking top-notch care for their pets. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her wonderful services in the future!
Mandi’s been great, we never have to worry knowing she is going round. Very reliable and always gives detailed updates with pictures!! Our cats are so much happier with Mandi coming round rather than them going into a cattery.
Mandi has been absolutely fantastic as a cat sitter. My cats are typically quite shy around people but they've really warmed to her in a short time. Mandi is always very reliable and sends me updates and pictures regularly, letting me know how everything is getting on which is always appreciated. It's always super easy to arrange cat sitting with Mandi and her communications help take the stress out of leaving the cats alone, highly recommended and thank you!
Mandi has been great, she has looked after my pets and provided excellent service, sent updates and photos regularly and was a delight to talk about her pets diets and how I can improve my own pets diets. I would highly recommend Mandi's services to anyone
You instantly feel comfortable with Mandi and we are so happy we found her as a cat sitter. We get photos and updates on how the cats are doing which are much appreciated! Our cats can be shy, however love it when Mandi comes round! Would recommend to anyone!
We approached Jason at short notice and he pulled out all the stops to find us a wonderful placement for Lexi. The experience was great from start to finish and I would not hesitate to recommend Jason and PetStay
This is the first time I've used PetStay for my 6 year old dog Lottie and have been so impressed with the service provided by Jason. Lottie stayed with Mark and his 2 dogs and I could not of wished for a better career! Mark took amazing care of my little girl whilst we were on holiday and sent me lots of updates and photos, which really reassured me that Lottie was settled and happy. When I came to collect Lottie she was obviously very pleased to see me but equally was also sad to leave Mark as she gave him a big love before she left and I just knew she had a very happy time during her stay. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone as he is such a kind considerate career and treated Lottie just like one of his own dogs.
I cannot praise Jason at Petstay high enough. He arranged for me to meet a very lovely couple to keep my dog for Christmas. He was very meticulous and everything was in place . Unfortunately my dog got very sick and I couldn’t leave him . Jason despite he didn’t have to do it as the deposit was not refundable he returned me all the money. You don’t easily come across this kind of people and I felt the need to leave a review regarding this. Jason showed such empathy as Archie passed away and he sent me a lovely email.
Very nervous leaving Floss with someone unfamiliar as she’s a very clingy dog, who really needs “her people”. Didn’t need to be, Mark quickly made himself “Floss’s person” and sent me regular updates, with photos of exactly what I needed to see - cuddles on the sofa! Mark went above and beyond, even popping to our preferred pet shop to replenish food. Mark knew that Floss was nervous and went out of his way to make sure she wasn’t left, which even we don’t always do. I felt happy knowing Floss was being loved whilst we enjoyed our holiday.
This is the second time Jasper has stayed with Mark and he's had a great time. I think Mark was happy that my flight was delayed so he got to keep Jasper for an extra night! Excellent service, keeps me updated with photos throughout. Can thoroughly recommend.
Toffee's first stay away for over 5 years. She settled really well with Mark and came home happy and relaxed.
Ziggy seems to have had a great time on his first try at home boarding. Janice was lovely and kind
Sidney seemed very happy and we had contact with carer while a way.
What a great service. Our dog was looked after really well, with plenty of walks. Thank-you to Mimi and James ?
Hi Avril, Thanks for giving us 5 Stars ⭐️
