Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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 £15 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!
I left my dog for 10 days with Henney and i can’t thank him enough for everything that he did for Tyrion. My dog is one year old and i didn’ t leave him with no one before. Henney managed him so well and he kept me posted too. I was pleased to see that my dog is more responsive when i give him a command and i will definitely use Henney’s service again in the future.
Happy, healthy boys after collection. Lots of updates following our 2 week stay. Henney is a reliable, trustworthy individual who gave the boys his full attention and great feedback. Would fully recommend 👌. Thank you HPC. Will see you soon. …
My boxer dog Noah has stayed overnight boarding several times and I have no complaints. Hennessey has been great taking him on walks, giving treats and sending updates. Highly recommend! Thanks Hennessey :)
Our 2 girls have had the best week staying with Henney. It's the first time we've left them but didn't need to worry. I had regular updates, photos and videos showing how much fun they were having. We now have peace of mind going on holiday, knowing our girls will be cared for as well as we care for them. Thank you so much Henney, would definitely recommend 😊
Cannot rate Hennessey highly enough. We left our dog for 3 nights. We received daily updates, pictures and videos so that we knew everything was going well and that he had settled down well. I personally really appreciated this as it had been some time since we last put him in boarding. Before, during and after our booking the communication was absolutely top notch. We will 100% be a returning customer. If you’re looking for somewhere that your dog will not only be safe , but also enjoy his/her boarding experience, then Hennessey is your man!
Hennessy looked after my French bulldog Pretzel for a week and a half. He was reassuring with providing daily updates and photos. He also provided the option for a daily video call too. This kept be at ease as I was out of the country. Found him last minute a referral from a friend and was very accommodating and helpful. Can’t wait to use him again in the future, I know Pretzel misses him for sure!
I would like to recommend Henney's Pet Care and leave 5 star reviews! Henney is a really friendly and knowledgeable person. He looked after our dog when we were on holiday, kept informed us every day, and sent photos of our dog 🐕 Our dog got professional care and so much love from Henney ❤️ We trust him and our dog too. Thank you for so much Henney! 🌟
My big black labrador loves visiting Henney's Pet Care. He is able to play with other dogs in a supervised and safe space, gets home-from-home love and attention, and he is worn out from the excitement when we get him back.
Absolutely recommend 👌 this company goes above and beyond I've never left my girls with anyone in 10 years and they had the most amazing time They didn't want to come home! And not only that you get extra as the company train and get them into a routine. This is my now place to go for my girls this will be there second home can't thank you enough! X
Looked after our 2 dogs while we attended a wedding. He was so helpful, great communications and both dogs were very well looked after. Thank you for looking after them so we could relax and enjoy a family wedding knowing they were safe
I met Hannah after being recommended by a friend and am so glad a took the leap. I have struggled with my reactive Brittany since rescuing him and was unable to get to a point where we were both happy. Between starting training with Hannah in December 2023 to now, we have had such an improvement that I can now call him an ‘anywhere’ dog. We can take him camping, into pubs, shops, and even have him off lead in busy places. This is all down to Hannah and her expertise in dogs, dog body language and training not only the dog, but the owner. Hannah has always made us feel welcomed, listened too and understood during both her social walks and 1:1s. She has been able to give us multiple ways to work with Bramble and tailored them to work for us, and cheered us on along the way. Bramble recently stayed with Hannah for a week and not only did he learn a lot, he enjoyed it. I never thought I would be comfortable and confident enough to leave him in someone else’s care - but he will be definitely staying with Hannah again in the future. I highly recommend Hannahs Hounds to anyone that wants a supportive, knowledgeable and trustworthy dog trainer, who will support you along whatever journey you are on, and welcome you into her non judgmental community.
Highly recommend Hannah! I have a dog who has been wary of and reactive to people, as well as having issues with other dogs and Hannah has really helped us with overcoming these issues. Her social walks are great too and you will meet lots of other owners who understand how challenging it can be to have a difficult dog.
We've had a couple of Zoom sessions with Hannah and one in-person session so far, and each one has been really valuable. Hannah has explained everything really clearly and has helped our dog go from a pulling machine to a loose lead walker, among so many other things. She's on hand to answer any questions after sessions and is always so thorough in her responses, Hannah has really helped us develop as dog owners and we are so grateful! We would definitely recommend Hannah if you're looking for a friendly and informative dog trainer
I have had the pleasure of being one of Hannah’s clients since November 2023. I was really struggling to handle some of my young collie’s challenging behaviours and was looking for someone who could give me practical advice and guidance I could understand and apply as an inexperienced owner. I’m really happy to say that Hannah has gone above and beyond for myself and Bear, making us feel welcome on her social walks despite his difficult behaviour, and always being open to tackling 1:1s with me when I felt like I was getting stuck as well as being available over WhatsApp when I was doubting myself. Hannah has taught me so much about handling and dog body language that I didn’t know I needed but so very glad I know now. She has given me the confidence to keep going through the hard times and most importantly reminding me to celebrate all the wins, no matter how small. Thank you Hannah for your continued support ☺️
We joined one of Hannah’s mantrailing sessions with our spaniel. Hannah explained the session really well, and then helped show us how to get the most out of each trail. It was a fantastic activity to meet our dog’s needs - he really enjoyed it. And it was run in a way to keep him and everyone safe where he can be reactive. I’d highly recommend Hannah.
We approached Hannah at the beginning of the year with some issues with our vizsla. Mostly reactivity with other male dogs. We had an initial consultation with Hannah where she simplified everything for us, highlighted the issues and set out a plan, which included some house reset rules to instill some boundaries and help our dog by having him look to us for leadership - which helped us with his reactivity. We also participated in social walks which also massively helped him to learn how to co exist around other dogs calmly without reacting. Can’t thank Hannah enough for her guidance and we would highly recommend her to any one struggling with their dog and helping owners to understand dog body language and their behaviour. Thank you!
I first saw Hannah in June 2024 for a behavioural assessment with my reactive dog. Hannahs support and guidance has been amazing coopers come on so well since. Cooper struggled with other dogs has some stranger danger and struggles with high energy dogs we’ve been given the tools and support to help me attended multiple different workshops. Coopers living a happier more fulfilling life able to coexist with other dogs thanks to Hannah! Highly recommended.
We’ve been working with Hannah for nearly a year now. Hannah’s super approachable and knowledgable. We’ve had a few 1-2-1 sessions as well as joining social walks a few times a month and they have been so useful! Our dogs have also boarded with Hannah and we know they are in safe hands. Very grateful to Hannah for all her help and highly recommend.
Hannah was/is amazing with the puppy's she taught us lots of stuff that we can take away and progress with .Lessons were fun and educational will most definitely be calling to book one2one with my other dog ... thank you Hannah
Excellent and knowledgeable trainer. Really helpful and offers lots of support. Working with Hannah has helped our dog become more confident with other dogs and his reactivity is continuing to improve. We have a plan in place for other behaviours and Hannah is always on hand with great advice and encouragement.
Amazing! My dog absolutely loves it here and is so excited to visit. Karen is fantastic with the dogs. Highly recommend.
Percy had a fabulous first day with Karen meeting Milo and all his new friends , knowing & seeing from videos and photos that Karen posts during the day is so reassuring that my precious boy is happy and in safe hands. We’ve already booked in for more visits. Fantastic service Thankyou .
My Best Friend North Shropshire is a wonderful find! Karen’s home and garden are brilliantly adapted to make dogs feel comfortable and she is very practical, knowledgeable and caring.
I couldn’t wish to have found such a wonderful kind and caring dog loving lady. Amber never wants to leave Karen’s care and has so much fun. I know my dog is in safe, caring hands.
Karen provides an excellent service and my dog was very happy during his stay and came home relaxed and rested.
My dog loves to go there.
First class dogs came back very happy
Many thanks!
animals are all looked after well. Friendly staff. attention to detail spot on. our Henry loves it. Always nice for him to get home. Yet we know he's well looked after
Left my cat there for four weeks. Staff was really friendly and professional. The place was clean and warm. After my holiday when I took back my pet, I could deffinetely say that he had a really good time. I strongly recommend the place!
Editing my previous review. We have used Red Oaks Farm on a few occasions now. When we drop Monty (our Dachshund Cross) off, he trots away with one of the team as happy as Larry and never looks back, which I think is always a good sign. He always comes back really cheerful and rarely smells too bad (we have used other kennels in the past where he comes back smelling truly awful). We've recently had a cat and he stayed here too - he came back just as fluffy and happy as we'd left him. I always used to struggle to get a call back after I'd left a message out of hours, but that hasn't been the case recently, my calls are always returned. The guys/girls have also managed to get me out a tight spot with a short notice booking too, which is a great help and very much appreciated. You will need to book WELL in advance though for peak holiday times.
Lovely friendly atmosphere, dogs look well looked after. First time leaving my dog here and would recommend to friends and family.
My cat Beau has been going for a while and I believe he enjoys it as always come back home and is happy with with me as opposed to in a mood. This stay especially, it's like he's had a break, his coat looks fantastic, like he's had a recharge of his batteries. They also fitted me in last minute which I really appreciated. Would recommend Red Oaks Cattery to anyone.
We’ve been using the cattery here for a couple of years now, and Red Oaks are always great. Our cat has had a few complex health problems which has meant other catteries couldn’t take him, but they take lovely care of him here. The pens are clean and warm, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
Went with a friend who had his cat stay here. They seem to care and each cat had its own area. Clean and cat seemed well cared for
Our dogs have been going to the kennels here for years. They are lovely clean kennels, heated with indoor/outdoor space. Fabulous staff who really care about the dogs. Our dogs are happy to be left. Would definitely recommend.
First time using the cattery recently but really nice pens, lovely owners/staff and cat came out as happy as he ever gets. Will be using again!
Just been to pick up buddy after a weeks holiday, he was well looked after, staff were very friendly
Gus has stayed with Billy and Co around 5 or 6 times now. Billy is absolutely amazing with our large breed, over zealous bulldog, he is always greeted warmly and our dog clearly loves seeing Billy. He always comes home unscathed and settled. He's never lost weight during his kennel stays. He sometimes has the "kennel" smell but I think that goes with the territory! The kennels is very reasonably priced. So happy to have found a kennels we know and trust. Thanks everyone at Hatton! From Gus and family.
Do not take your pet here! My poor dog had to be put to sleep the day I collected him from this place!! My beloved pet came here for 11 nights when I came to pick him up I was told his back legs had gone and he had an abcess and injury because he had kept falling over , he was in a terrible state! I took him straight to the vet , it turned out that he had been starved with all bones on show was sevearly dehydrated and could no longer walk, he did not have any abcesses but they were several pressure wounds from lying on concrete they were oozing puss and blood and some where very deep I asked the vet if the one on his face had been caused from falling but they said no its deffinatly a pressure sore and told me he had been neglected badly and took photos of his injury, the vet recommended I sue and report the kennels and they would write a report to support us. he was too weak and tired to carry on !!! They neglected him leaving him to suffere on a concrete floor and did not get help for him! They told me they thought he was dying when I picked him up they know what they did as they since have paid my vet bills and refunded my boarding cost without argument!! Please please do not take your pet here!!!!! All I have left of my pet is his his collar which was covered in urine and feaces
If you want to have your pet go through HELL and suffer to the point of, and actual, death, then take your pet here. My daughter left her dog here for eleven days and picked him up in an absolutely terrible state. Filthy, starved, dehydrated, full of sores from lying on concrete and ended up needing to be put down because he was too ill to recover. The dogs own vet took pictures and advised to sue the kennels for neglect and cruelty. How this business is still operating is disgraceful....
Disgusted that rspca and the council hasnt shut this place down. They are neglectful and have no duty of care for your animals. Under the Animal Rights Act they should have been shut ages ago. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE. They will need to be taken to the vets afterwards.
Honestly we have used billy and his team for a few years. The last few times have been a little “iffy” today was my final straw in all honesty. My dog came home filthy, he absolutely stunk to high heaven and we had to bath him as soon as he got home. He was also loosing considerable amounts of fur and he has fleas jumping off him and he looked thinner. He has really bad allergies so billy was advised if they got any worse to ring the emergency contact. They even bought food for him on Wednesday because he had ran out (he is on raw and we were due a delivery) and she was told he was “fine”. He has come home to his paws literally bleeding, his face totally broken out with spots that are bleeding. He has an awful ear infection that is oozing green discharge, new inflamed hot spots on both the tops of his legs, he also suffers with discharge from his eyes. These had not been cleaned and were all crusty. We pay for the package where he gets 3 walks a day. I very much doubt he has been walked at all. He has come back so sad and tired. As I was bathing him he put his head on my shoulder and just closed his eyes. This is a dog who is usually bouncing off everything We really trusted billy for a good few years and now I’m extremely disappointed that my dog has been treated this way and we now have to find somewhere else who will take dogs of his size.
First time using this place and couldn’t recommend more! Both my dogs have their own little quirks and challenges which were dealt with exceptionally! My one one dog can be dog and cat aggressive, the other is nervous around males. Upon collection their needs we met and they are both back home happy and healthy. We will definitely be using them again! Thank you for taking such good care of them!
Have used the kennels multiple times previously for 1 or 2 nights and never had any noticeable problems. My dogs last stay was 10 days and she came home very underweight, spent the 10 days after we picked her up refusing to eat, with sickness and Diarrhea, drank nearly 2 bowls of water when we brought her home & as usual smelt disgusting and had to be bathed immediately. Unfortunately will be avoiding from now on even for short stays.
Not sure I understand the negative reviews. If you want to leave your Dog at a 5 star hotel you'll pay accordingly. I can suggest a couple of kennels for you with heated floors and paw massages, but you'll pay 3 times the daily rate. Most Dogs will lose weight at a kennel and most will come back a bit smelly, guess what, it's a kennel. No issues here for me. Our pair came back happy as Larry. This will be our regular Kennels now.
Poor quality customer service I found the staff to be confrontational and difficult to communicate with with. Both of my dogs lost weight particularly noticeable on my smaller breed who had her ribs showing when collected as well as both needing a bath due to strong unpleasant stale odour. Disappointed as previous positive experiences. Unfortunately the kennels and level of care provided appears to have deteriorated significantly.
Picked up my darling Daisy on Saturday morning. It’s obvious how Billy loves his little tenants, the way he talks to them. My little girl was happy, bright eyed and of course, pleased to see us. We were glad to hear that she had been eating well and enjoying her playtime and walks. Thank you so much Hatton Kennels, to know our little one is well cared for in our absence is worth more than gold.
I can't recommend this trainer highly enough. We have a puppy who is wonderful, but needs training in certain things. Forrest came to our house and my puppy loved her instantly. I love her approach to training, and she knows how to speak the dog's language. She taught us how to train properly and it became easy. We will be booking more sessions without a doubt. She is so reasonably priced as well, I feel lucky to have found her.
We're so grateful to Forrest! She was quick to reply, incredibly kind, and completely non-judgmental. Forrest taught us so much about understanding our dogs’ behavior, using quick and effective reward-based methods that brought instant results. I'm genuinely stunned by how quickly we've seen improvements. Looking forward to working with her more in the future.
We have a 9 month German Shepherd who has never been good with listening and walking on the lead. Our first training session went great! We were asked in depth questions about our dogs behaviour and usual routine and got told very interesting facts about dog behaviours that we didn’t know about. We were also shown two training tricks and how to stop her from pulling us on the lead. The most incredible part was when we got shown how to make our dog like her harness and see her actually not be scared of it but happily go near it! We have since been using the advice and we are already seeing some effects! I would highly recommend the training offered!
My pup had her first ever training session today & it went extremely well! The lesson & advice is truly helpful and I feel confident my puppy will grow up very clever with more sessions. I can’t recommend Roving Spirit enough!
Forrest delivered our first training session today, which our puppy responded immediately. The training was informative and very supportive. We can highly recommend her, thank you Forrest for being supportive and understanding.
I had Nikki stay with my 2 crazy cockers for 10 days while on holiday. She was absolutely brilliant with keeping us updated sending pics and videos and daily updates, we felt extremely at ease knowing she was there with our boys. Whilst we were away she also did some work with our puppy to help with some of his issues. Since we have come back we have carried on with the tips she gave us and life is so much more relaxed and easy with him. All in all we were extremely impressed and will be going to nikki for more training help in the future 😊
Forrest came round to help out with our puppy Mastiff. Forrest has a really nice way of training both dogs and owners.Our puppy responded very well from the start and we will be definitely booking follow up sessions.
We highly recommend Nikki, we have used her 3 times and will definitely book her again next year for our holiday breaks. She understands our dogs temperaments, although half brother and sister they are totally different in behaviour and needs. She walks them daily, plays with them and left our house very tidy.
Today we had our first session with Forrest, who was absolutely amazing. She was relaxing and kind, gave brilliant advice, did not judge at all and worked absolute wonders with our nearly 2 year old dog Rue. Even in such a short time frame, Rue came on leaps and bounds with Forrest’s incredible training and we cannot wait to implement all we have learned and have our next training session. I would wholeheartedly recommend Roving Spirit Canine Coach!
It was a pleasure to meet and begin to work with Forrest. She has a wonderful way with both people and puppies. I found her quite by chance, she spent so much time explaining and exploring animal behaviour, science and life experiences with me I felt reassured, educated and valued. I am looking forward to working more with her very soon. I would recommend to anyone who needs a kind and knowledgeable trainer for their dog, she is a source of much information. Thank you Forrest.
Sammy is a wonderful person who loves and knows dogs and has great patience and care . She provides invaluable information to assist any dog owner and is always willing to share her vast knowledge. My rescue dog flourished in her care and always greeted her enthusiastically. Sammy is simply the best you can hope for and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Thank you :)
