What a loving housesit! Cynthia & Kevin are such a wonderfull couple whom share their life and heart with such wonderful kitties. I would forever catsit for them as I loved Logan & Lili’s charming characters. Very sweet, low maintenance, they are well behaved and in those 2 weeks looking after them, they never fought but were always cuddling - this made my daily « coworking » space very peaceful, inspiring and blissfull. Oh and their top floor appartement (with lift) is awesome too! The 9th floor offers stunning views of Berlin for a romantic stay, it is comfortable, cosy and very central, 2 stops from Alexandraplatz... with transporation at the door step and a huge supermarket around the corner. I walked into Cinthya and Kevin‘s lives as a sitter and left as friend and I am grateful that they trusted me with their babies. To all cat lovers out there, this is a perfect housesit :)
Staying at the home of LeeLoo was such a treat. Barbara and Gunnar are gracious, kind and delightfully interesting. Our communication was clear and easy all the way through. The house is gorgeous with a lovely back garden where LeeLoo spends much time chasing bugs and gazing at the birds and squirrels. She is very shy at first but soon allowed me to be her friend..which made me very happy:). Altogether wonderful and inspiring, I enjoyed this sit immensely and certainly would recommend very highly.
This was a great sit and anyone accepting an invitation to serve Princess Baylor should be honored! Such a nice dog, requiring very easy care. We had wonderful strolls around the beautiful neighborhood, a block from Sloan's Lake. We took a Sunday excursion to The Old Mine in Erie. We walked to the Hogshead brewery. We had brunch at Syrup's. We watched Netflix, and lounged in the wonderful backyard gazebo. The Platte River Trail is easily accessed by bike and is a beautiful way to exercise. I had everything needed in the basement suite: TV/Living, Bedroom, Sauna, full bathroom, laundry. Very easy to maintain, and wonderfully cool. With temps outside reaching 100F one day, we comfortably bunkered inside although the home has central AC. Jessica and Garrett did a great job of communicating before and during the sit so I had no questions while they were gone.
Fiona/Mark, thank you for your kind words. It was great to be your first housesitter and I hope you continue to use going forward. Things went very smoothly and if available I'd certainly love to return. Your home is gorgeous. The architecture and furnishings really make it a lovely home and of course the beautiful views across the fields. The walking maps were ideal and gave plenty of 'off lead' walks directly from the doorstep. As for Saffy and Wiilow, they are adorable. Definitely sisters, but with lovely individual personalities. I love the noise Saffy made when holding her toy, and Willow's gorgeous brown eyes waiting for a treat. They were so easy to bond with and great to be around. Take care all, Stuart
Noodles and Cosmo were adorable and liked to hang out with me- in the office as I worked in the morning and the living room in the afternoon, and then they slept quietly in the bedroom overnight. They mostly napped but were also very playful. I loved the sunny house full of art and plants. It's very close to a train stop for easy access to other neighborhoods, and a short walk from the beach and some cool local stores.
It was an unforgetable experience! Orin is a very nice, kind, generous owner who is easy to communicate. He made the job responsibilities very clearly and he is an awesome cat parent as I can see that clearly from how great Charlotte is. Charlotte is such a sweetheart, she had been making my stay in CO like home. I will always remember the moon watching, star gazing, and the sunbath in the patio with Charlotte. She is such a special cat, anybody who gets a chance to take care of her is lucky, because you will get much more from her than what you can do for her. Thanks Orin for the opportunity， thanks Charlotte for the good times!

My dog Reggie loves it here - he waits in the window for their arrival and is so excited when they arrive. His confidence has grown massively and he’s more comfortable in the presence of other dogs thanks to the lovely dogs they take on and set up at the daycare (small groups). All the people are great and Reggie loves then too!
Our Irish Setter - Rosa has been going to the Dog Day Care Club for about 5 months now, It was scary at first sending her away from us but she loves her day out on a Friday and we can do what we like for a day without worrying about her. The team are lovely and they care so much about all the dogs, it's wonderful seeing all the photos every week. She comes home exhausted but happy, which is great. This week she came home with her Repawt Card which made us smile, they say she's "enchanting" even though she barks a bit and her recall isn't the best. Well done Day Care team, you're brilliant!!
Our sproodle has been a regular with the Dog Day Care Club since he was six months, and I can't recommend them highly enough. He has the best time, comes home, has supper and goes to sleep! They take real care and attention, and back you up on any training you might be doing, and often surprise us with little touches (such as well done certificates if he's actually NOT jumped up that day!). Thank you Nick, Bryony and all the team.
Our dog loves going to The Dog Day Care Club, she waits by the window to watch out for the van that collects her! We have been very happy customers for several years.
From first meeting Nick to see where my dog Reggie would be spending his day, it was clear to see how invested and thoughtful they were from the get go. Reggie joined the team as a 7 month old energetic puppy and grew into a polite adult always coming home clean and tired. His at-home training was reinforced by the team and they also taught whistle recall which I have carried on at home. I received updates and pictures, and monthly training emails. The dogs receive mental and physical stimulation with games and off lead exercise, they make sure to group the dogs accordingly and I appreciated the ease of the pick up/drop off service - Reggie would be waiting by the door every morning and wouldn’t even look back! A caring, trustworthy team that you can rely on. Highly recommend.
Bry, Nick and the entire Dog Day Care Club team are amazing! Exceptionnel service, especially the drop off and collection and they respond rapidly to any queries or concerns you have. We have been sending our dog to them twice a week for the past few months now and from the pictures they share of his time with them you can tell he is having a great time socialising with other dogs and roaming free in their secure enclosed fields! Would highly recommend them for doggy daycare!
I have a rescue dog who was very anxious with other dogs but since joining the dog day care club he has relaxed and absolutely loves his time there! They have helped my scruffy boy hugely and managed to put a very anxious mum at ease quickly. The feed back is great (even giving report cards and certificates) and there are always great photos of the woofers having fun! They are reliable and always manage to fit in an extra day when I need a bit of help. I can not recommend this fantastic day care enough!
My dog George has been to the Dog Day Care Club since we arrived from Australia - he absolutely loves the place and people! He comes home smelling delightful and absolutely exhausted after such a stimulating day. They have paddocks for walks but also do training, agility, brain games and relaxation. Bryony, Nick and team are amazing and the door to door service is so convenient! George has also used homestay for when I have travelled without him, they treat him as a member of the family which is so important to me. They provide updates and photos which eases some guilt as I see he is happy, healthy and well-cared for.
One of my dogs needs a lot of freedom to run. With so much land available she is in her element. The groups are selected with dogs that enjoy each other’s company. The games in the barn provide brain stimulation and exercise. All the staff are extremely caring and very professional with a lot of relevant experience. Having a door to door service is the icing on the cake, and you get regular updates on how your dog is doing. My girlie arrives home tired and very happy after the best days ever. Each session’s photos of all the dogs are on social media and it is great to see how much enjoyment and fun they have. I have worked in animal welfare for many years and can honestly say that Nick, Bry and all the staff are simply the best; taking extra care in the pandemic. Highly recommend in every respect 😍
I honestly can’t fault anything about these guys ! This place is miles above any other day care I have visited or experienced. If you want to send your dog to somewhere they will be truly cared for and looked after then this is the place ! Everything about this day care is 10/10! The outside fields and assault course , the indoor kennels , the on site grooming facilities,the daily handover at pickup ! Luna comes home clean , tired and clearly happy ! I really wouldn’t go else where :)
When I was let down a week before my holiday, I contacted Sit Stay! Animal Care with little hope but I had a helpful reply straight away. Chris is accommodating and caring and I can't praise her highly enough. We met up a couple of days later and my dog took to her straight away. I was so relieved to leave Lucy with such a kind and competent person and the almost daily texts and emails meant I didn't have to worry at all during my holiday. Nothing was too much trouble and I would thoroughly recommend her.
I was injured recently and so was unable to look after my mare properly. I was passed Chris' details by another livery on my yard who had used her when she went on holiday and recommended her to me. Chris was absolutely amazing and, due to the unexpected circumstances and urgency for help, she came out to visit me and my mare the very same day that I contacted her. I was reassured by her calm nature and easy going personality. My mare, who can be a bit of a handful, also took to her and was relaxed throughout the week or so that Chris helped me. Chris is punctual, tidy, confident with horses and very reasonably priced. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris and would definitely use her again in the future.
I have 5 dogs as well as chickens to care for, and have used Mrs Day's pet/house sitting service on many occasions both to live in and for short daily visits. I have complete confidence in her and know I simply 'leave her to get on with' whatever needs doing. Her animal care is exemplary, she is reliable, confident and caring, putting the needs of her charges first. She is always ready to help and has a 'can do' approach stepping in at very short when asked. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
Chris is a genuine lovely lady and done fantastic job not just looking after our 3 cats but also our home while we was on holiday, she even sent us emails just saying how it was going which gave us such peace of mind. She even had no quibbles over having to administer medication to one of my cats. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use again.
I can't rate the service Chris provides highly enough. Our animals love her! She is extremely reliable and takes the trouble to get to know your pets and individual requirements before her first stay. Our two dogs have very different needs: one a good long walk and the other, due to old age, a quick game of ball on the field opposite our house. This can be time consuming but Chris, anxious to maintain the dogs' regular routines, is happy to oblige. She's a considerate house guest too. (Mindful of how much washing holidays generate, she offered to bring a sleeping bag for a short stay.) Pet care when away used to be a real worry for us - often meaning we couldn't make family functions - but, happily, this is no longer the case.
Totally reliable and absolutely brilliant with all our assorted animals we cannot recommend Chris highly enough. It is such a relief to know that we are able to go away and we do not need to worry about them or indeed the house and garden...her service is invaluable... Happy owners of chickens,ducks,kune kune pigs, pygmy goats, two dogs and one cat! Alisoun and Alec Bilous.
They were lovely people, Kept Ned safe and took him for lovely long walks. He had a massive doggy grin when we picked him up! I’d definitely recommend 😃 …
Chris has been extremely helpful with our Springer Spaniel Buddy. We’ve worked with him closely for a number of months and have made a ton of progress in lots of areas. Things were really difficult before we started working with Chris and it is a massive relief to be in a much better place now and have a lot of the negative behaviours under control. Chris was very professional and very effective. I am very grateful for the work he has done and could not recommend him more highly.
Chris has been doing training with me and Freddie for just over 2 months now. He is amazing with Freddie who gets so excited to see him each week! Chris really knows his stuff and is happy to adapt each session to whatever you need which has been great as we have worked on issues that have cropped up in a timely way. Would definitely recommend. Freddie is going to be joining Chris and Becs for doggy day care soon and we can’t wait as I know he will be in safe hands and have an absolute ball 😊
I have been having 1 2 1 sessions with Chris for my staffie pup. We got her at 8 weeks old and my older dog didn't take to her. I asked Chris for help when my pup turned 13 weeks and he has been amazing. My pup is now 20 weeks old and my 2 dogs get along brilliantly. Chris has showed me how to train my pup as well, she is coming on amazingly. He really is very good and knows his stuff. I highly recommend Chris if you need any help with training.
After making enquires to multiple dog trainers for our dog Henri, Chris was the most prompt to respond. Chris is a kind and approachable person who is instantly able to put you and your animal at ease. His training was suitable, adaptable and conducted in easy to follow lessons for both owner and animal. Nothing seemed to much to ask from Chris and he was always willing to be contacted at any time for advice after lessons. It is clear from the outset that Chris loves the job he does and it really shows.
Chris has been helping me and my dog Woody to overcome his separation anxiety and improve recall. I am very pleased with the results and Woody loves Chris. Chris has a lovely, calm manner and has been very flexible with session times and location. I would highly recommend.
I had 3 sessions with Chris and learnt that some of the issues were caused by me giving mixed signals to my puppy Indie. Chris has a really calm nature and positive approach. My main problem was with Indie and my 2 cats. Chris only got to meet Meggie but he could see how stressed out she was, my other cat mostly hides whilst Indie is around. It's still work in progress but I can now pick Meggie, and Bella up in front of Indie without her jumping and trying to grab them. Chris you'll be pleased to hear we had a breakthrough this morning, Meggie and Indie were both on the bed with me for a couple of hours. That's the 1st time in about 5 months, I was over the moon. We have continued to train and she's now playing fetch with only 1 ball and will drop it right at our feet. Chris you were a star and we can't thank you enough.
We were having issues with our dog Hari's anxiety and reactions around people. Chris spoke to me at length on the phone to find out Hari's background as a rescue and to assess how he could help. After just one session we were able to understand more about Hari's behaviour and implement some key learning to start making immediate progress. After a few more sessions with Chris we are thrilled to see Hari's confidence growing and having much less reaction. We've also decreased the "safety zone" as Hari is becoming more comfortable in closer proximity, in most cases. I just want to say a big thank you to Chris, for all of your help and advice, we couldn't have turned things around without your training. We feel so much more confident and in control, which obviously we know is helping Hari too.
Our Nicole absolutely loves her time in day care every week. Chris & Becs are lovely people and offer fantastic services. We had a 121 training course with Chris and he has patiently helped us get to the best solution. Also Bec's grooming is amazing and professional as well! Can't recommend enough!!!
We worked with Chris when we got our Puppy, Delilah. We did 6, 1-2-1 sessions with him where he helped us with lead walking, obedience training, separation anxiety, meeting/being socialised with other dogs and a lot of other things. Our puppy is now 16 weeks old and we get comments on how friendly and confident she is. I really don't think we could have managed this without Chris. So thanks, Chris!
We recently moved from the US to England and were very weary of leaving our precious dog with anyone while we are aware. Sam has made us feel more than comfortable leaving our dog in her care. She is extremely responsive and communicative while we are away. Our dog always comes home well cared for and happy. She created a warm welcoming environment for us and our dog. We are happy to leave our dog with Sam and would recommend her for anyone!
I would highly recommend Sam at Barklife. She is lovely & very accommodating. She has been brilliant with our nervous & needy dog & really does provide a home from home for the animals. She cares for them as if they were her own pet. Really happy. 😊 …
Wow what an amazing 5⭐️experience for myself and our 2 dogs .Sam was brilliant in her communication and sending us photos and updates . The girls came back so chilled . Thank you . Highly recommend . We’ ll be back 😁 …
Excellent service. Great people who clearly love dogs. Cody, our Mini Schnauzer has stayed a few times now and absolutely loves it. He gets a holiday and a chance to play in open fields with other dogs. Would highly recommend - worth every penny to know your dog is well looked after whilst you are away.
The best and most loving doggy accommodation. A luxurious home from home. I wouldn't entrust my elderly dog's care to anyone else. Anthea and Kevin are fabulous.
Winston loves staying here and I know I can leave him and not have to worry about him at all.
Very Friendly with excellent care for our dog, Thankyou
Too expensive for us. We have two dogs
Excellent home from home for our four legged family member!
Not taking any dogs in 2022
Natalie was brilliant with our cat Dave, who she looked after when we were on holiday for a week recently. I could tell from the updates and pictures that Natalie sent us, that Dave was very happy, enjoying lots of cuddles! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
Natalie is simply outstanding, and the other reviews reflect that as well. She’s a genuine animal lover, and my two boys (cats) can sense it right away. One of them is particularly skittish, but he’s completely at ease with Natalie, which says so much about her care and approach. Leaving your pets behind while you’re on holiday can be tough, but Natalie makes it so much easier. She keeps me regularly updated and clearly enjoys spending time with my boys. Her dedication and love for animals really shine through and I couldn’t be more grateful.
As soon as I met Natalie I knew she was someone I could trust. One of my cats is very shy and I must admit I was worried that she would be lonely but Natalie sent me pictures and videos of Tilly purring and making a fuss of her on her very first visit. Natalie sent me lots of pictures/updates throughout the four days that I was away and each time both cats looked extremely content, this made a big difference and I soon stopped worrying about them. Natalie was brilliant. I would not hesitate in recommending her and would absolutely have her look after my cats again. Thank you Natalie.
What a compassionate and delightful, friendly individual Natalie is! We have used her pet sitting service a good few times now for our 3 pooches and she always sends pics and updates each time. Recently we went away to Rome for 3 nights and unfortunately for Natalie (and us) we had a water leak in the kitchen the day before we were due home but due to Natalie’s quick response we weren’t flooded! Forever in debt - thanks Natalie. I would 1000% recommend this very enthusiastic, animal loving lovely lady indeed 👍😁
Natalie took very good care of our cat, we were very happy with her services. She sent regular updates and we could see that our kitty was happily purring and playing while Natalie was with him. I would highly recommend her!
Natalie is brilliant at what she does. She has been visiting my puppy for the last four months and my puppy loves her! She sends lots of updates and photos and is very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care.
Natalie gave us a very good first impression when we met her an she has proven that she is an excellent professional! She took care of our birds when we were away, keeping us posted all the time and sent us many pictures making us feel very relaxed and happy! :) Highly recommend!
Natalie is amazing, highly recommend. Natalie has been looking after our cat whilst we’ve been away several times and we trust her absolutely. Cat is always happier as a result
Natalie is a wonderful pet sitter who took amazing care of our cat while we were on holiday. Her introductory meet and greet is a great service as she took the time to get to know our cat and her requirements. Our cat took to Natalie instantly and we were able to enjoy our holiday knowing that our cat was being very well taken care of. We highly recommend the Four Legged Cuddle Club and will be asking Natalie to look after our cat whenever we are away!
Natalie has been absolutely brilliant with our excitable golden girl. She treats her with such kindness and has been a real asset with her on lead training! She is very professional, flexible and dedicated … even in the pouring rain! Honey loves her to pieces - Highly recommend! 🐾 …
Love love love sending our dog to Happy Paws, it means we can enjoy our holidays even more because we know that he is having the best time ever. Marian sends daily photos to so we can see what a fabulous time he's having, either in front of the wood burner in the winter or in the doggy paddling pool in the summer. I just wish Happy Paws did human holidays!! Just brilliant.
Tina is so helpful and friendly. Has an obvious love of dogs and was so great in looking after our puppy. Great communication too. Highly recommend.
Our Curly has been staying with Tina for years. She’s lovely and curly adores her! Best dog sitter in cheltenham! Highly recoomend!
Really nice and friendly lady Tina. Obviously a true animal lover couldn't have been any more impressed. Next bookings been made already. Recommend in a heartbeat. Thanks Tina.
Would absolutely recommend. Previous Veterinay Nurse who adores animals. Real home from home experience for your dog.
Have no hesitation in recommending Howliday Dog Boarding.
Sam looked after our tel labradors beautifully. She was kind and patient with our long list of requests! She sent loads of pupdates and was flexible and helpful. The house was exactly as we left it and she was very easy to contact and communicate with. Highly recommended thanks Sam.
Sam was amazing! Came for an initial meeting and explained everything fully and listened to what we had to say. Both cats took to her really well and she sent updates so we could see how they were getting on. Went the extra mile and collected/ put out or bins for us too. Will definitely be using the service again and would highly recommend. Thank you Sam!
I would highly recommend Sam. She took great care of my little cat Ivy. Sam sent me photos of her throughout the weekend we were away and Ivy really seemed to like her and house was left just as we left it. Thank you Sam From Sally and Ivy! X
Sam is amazing with our little spaniel and he absolutely loves her. She helps us out on set days but is also flexible across the rest of the week when we need some last minute support too. We feel completely safe with our boy being with Sam and know how well looked after and fussed he is! Thanks Sam
Had a fantastic service from Sam when we were away for a week at Christmas. Our three indoor cats were well looked after and we received daily updates. Thank you Sam… we will definitely ask for you to help again!
Sam was very professional and she put us at ease as we had never left our dog before only with family. It was nice that she looked after him in his own environment. Would definitely recommend and will use again
I can’t recommend Sam enough, she is brilliant with our Labrador Loki. Sam walks Loki around 3 times a week, she has always been so flexible and accommodating. Her caring and patient nature is what makes her so great at her job! Loki loves his walks and we always feel so reassured and relaxed when Sam is looking after him.
Sam is a fantastic and dedicated person, she looks after our 2 cats 1 dog and a tank full of tropical fish, she has been doing so for many years and is always brilliant. She is trustworthy and could not recommend her enough. I advise anyone with pets to make sure you use Sam!!!!!
Sam was brilliant looking after our 2 dogs as they both have a few behavioural issues. We would use her services again.House was left exactly as we left it.
Sam is a life saver. We have a very special anxious boy who needs someone very understanding to live with while we aren't here. After 4 years without a holiday we can finally relax and enjoy ourselves knowing our boy is in good hands. Sam is Reggies best mate and fave snuggle buddy.
Lulu is a border terrier and she has stayed at giddydogs on many occasions! Highly recommend.
Well, there is an urgent need for doorbell replacement or repair so we won't need to wave at you standing on the street 😀 Other than that all good, rather pleasant experience, parcel delivered signature received....happy days …
Friendly enthusiastic and caring about all the animals in her care!
Great service great people
