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!
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
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!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
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 !
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
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!
Absolutely brilliant! Everything we could have wished for in a dog sitter. Ann creates a welcoming and loving home from home , our dog loves her and we had regular updates of all the fun and adventures they were having. I know our dog would be more than happy to visit and stay with her again. Thank you so much Ann.
Ann cares for many dogs in her own home and treats every single one of those as though they are her own. If you're looking for somewhere for your beloved family member - like the business name - this business really is 'home from home'. Lots of cuddles and love to be had when your dog comes to stay! (Photos of our GSD Murphy recently on a walk with Ann)
Ann is absolutely fantastic. It's clear to see she loves dogs (even the nutty ones like ours). Our dogs go crazy when we pull up on to Ann's drive which is testament to how much they love it with her. I wouldn't trust anyone else to care for them now. They are treated like Queens and have no trouble seeing the back of us when we drop them off for a stay. We see regular pictures of them during their stay and we're completely at ease knowing how happy they are. Thank you so much Ann 🐶
Where do I start?.. our boy Hugo is our fur baby! 🐶 So when we started the search to find someone to look after him it became a daunting task!! That was until I stumbled across Ann of Telford Home from Home Boarding. From my first message, I just had a gut feeling that this was the perfect place! It’s not very often you’ll find someone who will look after your beloved pooch as good as you do yourself but how wrong was I?.. Ann welcomed Hugo into her home and bonded instantly with him. Going above and beyond to look after our boy! He’s one fussy eater and he’s spoilt (which is our own doing) but Ann treats him like a prince! 👑 Cooking him chicken and even feeding it to him by hand to give us peace of mind that he’s eating. Daily walks and an abundance of love and cuddles 🤍 Most days we’d receive pupdates 📸 with pictures and videos without even having to ask which is so reassuring and priceless when you’re far away! This allowed us to switch off a little and relax which after all that is what holidays are all about! Ann is a genuine, lovely lady who deserves all the credit she gets. We certainly won’t use anyone else to home board our fur baby now. He absolutely loves his time with Ann and his other furry friends he meets throughout his stay🐾 He returns back home happy with his tail wagging 🐶 After-all he’s had the best holiday himself!..and that to us means the world 🌍
After having a bad experience with a traditional kennel Ann is now the only person we will trust with Rosie. Fully certified and insured we know we can leave Rosie with Ann and she will be safe and well looked after. If anything, a bit too well looked after - she never seems to want to come home!! It's great knowing that while we enjoy our holiday, Rosie is enjoying hers.
We don't go away without Benson very often but when we do, Ann is the only person we'll leave him with. He's an older boy who likes his home comforts and cuddles and gets completely spoiled during his visits. We never have to worry about him while we're away as we know Ann understands what he needs and always goes the extra mile to ensure he's contented and safe. We're very grateful to have found someone so caring to look after him.
Ann has looked after our Otis a couple of times now and he loves it there. Anyone looking for a dedicated, friendly and loving dog carer then we can highly recommend Ann.
We won’t let anyone else care for our dog when we go away. Gemma is happy and well cared for during her stay. It has been five years since we first met Ann. She is a lovely honest lady and makes sure everything is in order etc
I fully recommend Telford Home from Home Dog Boarding. Feel rest assured your dog is in safe hands. Ann treats all the dogs as though they were her own. Make sure you book well in advance as this is a popular choice by many.
If Ann isn't available, we don't go away it's as simple as that. She cares passionately about all the dogs she looks after, to the extent that informing her that my old labrador had passed away was one of the hardest calls I ever had to make. She currently boards my old terrier (who could start a fight in an empty house,) and my Bosnian rescue (who's scared of her own shadow.) She gives them both the individual care they need.
We cannot recommend Viv & Hayley (We Love Pets) highly enough after recently using these guys to look after our three dogs and house sit whilst we were away on holiday for one week. Prior to us going away Viv & Hayley visited a couple of times to go through details and to meet the dogs. We we highly impressed of their professionalism and level of detail they went into with us - most importantly for us, we felt very comfortable after meeting them and was able to establish a lot of trust, this was so important for us as this was the first time of us using a dog & house sit service - and of course it was important that our dogs were really happy around them, and they instantly were 😊 Whilst we were away we received daily updates and pictures whilst out on their walks and playing etc. Everything looked lovely at home on our return, which was was fabulous to see and our dogs looked very happy, very well looked after & well fed 🐶🐶🐶 Viv & Hayley also made sure that our garden hanging baskets had been watered daily, dustbins sorted, and left us fresh milk in the fridge for our return, which was fab as we came home very late at night. We will definitely be using Viv & Hayley again. Overall we were extremely happy with the service they have provided, which was a first class service. Viv & Hayley, can’t thank you enough, Rob & Loraine, Bella, Bonnie & Rocky 🐶😊🐶
Viv and her team have made such a positive difference to us all! We know from how our pets are that they will be happy to see them when we can't be there ourselves. Our Yorkie loves his walks and all the fuss he gets. Our cat was naturally cautious at first but now poses for photos as if she approves of her nice clean litter tray and her favourite food. Viv and team have been so kind and reliable. Happy pets, happy family!
We have had an amazing experience with the walks by Viv and reg for our dog Bluebell. Viv always makes the effort to accomodate any extra walks at short notice. Our dog is quite nervous of strangers and other dogs so we are able to have 1:1 walks. We know Bluebell is in safe and experienced hands and both Viv and reg are very kind and trustworthy. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Great, friendly and helpful service. My dog had an initial assessment meeting and has always been introduced to new walkers. My neighbours reports the walkers are great with my dog, and that she always has a curled up waggy tail. It is easy to communicate with Viv. A range of other services, such as home boarding, is available.
I would give 5 stars to the hosts who looked after our dogs as they were excellent and treated them like their own. But the communication with We Love Pets was poor. Having been told which host we were going to be placed with we were not told that he had quit so she was looking for another host. We were only told because I wanted to book a couple of trial days with him, but if I hadn't we would have been kept in the dark. My step daughter had her dog booked with the same host and was never told that he wouldn't be available. She only knew because we told her, and she waited weeks to hear about it, and contacted We Love Pets in the end. Any text messages we got were short. I got a text the day before we were due to take the dogs to the hosts asking for the balance and asking if I was still hoping to drop the dogs off. A bit late in the day to ask that. Our dogs are family to us and it was the first time we were leaving our rescue dog, so we were really nervous. The lack of information wasn't reassuring.
Needed to set up some regular walks at shortish notice. Viv and the team sorted it out super quickly and really professionally. Would 100 recommend and will be using again in the future as needed. Many thanks.
Viv is always reliable and great at returning messages at such short notice when we've needed her services. She has been fab with our puppy Otis (mini daschund). Would highly recommend!
Just been away for 5 days and Viv looked after our house cat. She came twice a day and kept us updated and even sent a couple of photos! Very happy with the service had a worry free break, knowing that our cat was happy in her own environment, and had the added comfort of the house being checked twice a day. Will definitely use Viv's service again. Highly recommend!
Viv walked and fed our 2 dogs while we were away. Sent pictures and kept us updated. Extremely happy with the service and would definitely use again
Brilliant service from We Love Pets. They are fabulous with our cockapoo, he loves his walks and occasional day care service too. He loves meeting other dogs and getting lots of fuss off new humans. It was easy to arrange care for our dog through We Love Pets, I will definitely continue to use them.
My puppy Milo stayed for his first overnight, we received regular photo updates to put our mind at ease and Kerrina went above and beyond to make sure he settled and had the best time possible. A great and personable service where you can be sure your dog is treated as a member of the family.
Perfect home from home stay for your beloved four legged friends. You can be confident that Kerrina and Tony will always provide 100% care.
The most amazing dog boarding place you'll ever find. Your dog will feel as if they are at home and you have peace of mind that they are being loved and cared for as if it was you.
Kerrina walks my dogs and she is brilliant and my dogs love her. She is flexible and reliable and would not choose anyone else.
Fabulous care of our little girls, top marks for making them feel at home whilst we were away.
Ive not used this place but she was brilliant and offerd to help me out at short notice
Lovely couple home from home
Not much of what i wanted really
Bostin likes it.
Auntie Beth is brilliant!
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!
My dog Millie is so precious to me I wouldn’t leave her with anyone but she is so happy and content to go and stay at Pooch Palace. It’s a first class day care premises and the over night care is excellent. I can’t recommend these beautiful kennels and surroundings enough. But mainly the staff are so caring and this shows when we pick our beautiful Millie up. Thanks to all the staff for looking after Millie as I’m so content leaving her with you.
Our two puppies go to day care each week. The induction day was really informative and the puppies and pawrents were made to feel most welcome. All the staff are fantastic, so friendly and caring towards the dogs. They have lots going on during a day care day and when we drop them off they get so excited and run up to day care area. We get regular updates via a private Facebook group during the day, which we look forward to. We also get feedback when we collect them of how they have been. Our two dogs are very different in their personalities and needs and the girls always take that into consideration. The setting and the facilities are luxury and the security is really good too. We would not go anywhere else. Thanks Pooch Palace.
I have many compliments about Pooch Palace but to sum it up, they are amazing! Anyone thinking of using them, please do. Highly recommended. Our 10 year old boy Walter had never been in any type of kennel before so we were so nervous on the build up to a 2 week holiday. The guys at the palace worked so well with us and Walter. They gave updates, matched him with dogs that were suited to him and made him comfortable. They even put him in a Disney style bedroom as we are big Disney fans! During our holiday, we had a 26 hour delay coming home, so you can imagine this is stressful. Hattie and the team were so supportive and accommodating and made sure we didn’t worry and Walter was in safe hands until we could get home. I can’t thank Pooch Palace or their staff enough for how they handled our situation and all the great service beforehand. Anyone thinking of using these guys; what you can expect is great, friendly service. Staff always smiling. Extremely clean and well maintained establishment. Updates on your dog(s), a very fair price for the interaction and attention the dogs get. And more - all in my personal opinion. All I can say is thank you to the team, fully recommended and can’t wait to use you guys again for my precious Walter to visit.
Chipolata goes for daycare every week and I wouldn’t trust him anywhere else they all know him and his little quirks and I know he gets the best care he trots off in a morning without a second glance. Love the VIP page where only users of the service can see the pups at play
Pooch Palace really is a gem of a place. Both our boys go on a regular basis and absolutely love going. The staff are friendly and got to know both our boys well so they can cater for their needs. We truly wouldn’t trust anyone else with our boys as they are so precious to us. The site is lovely and really well looked after, it’s clean, modern and well equipped with everything your pooch will need. Thank god we found such a wonderful place!
First class 5 star establishment. I would highly recommend Pooch Palace My two dogs recently boarded there. We recieved daily updates and photos of our precious girls. My daughter has also used the Palace and speaks very highly of the owners Zoe,Hattie not forgetting their fabulous staff team. If you want the very best this is by far the facility to take your precious doggy family. It offers boarding day care and grooming.
I travel over an hour 20 mins to bring my Suzi to be looked after for when I go on holiday. Pooch Palace is not only a beautiful, clean place (no usual kennel smell) in beautiful surroundings for my princess to stay, but the owners and staff are absolutely lovely. They truly care for you precious little ones as if they were their own. Regular photos are sent to reassure you, if like me you worry when you leave them. Pooch Palace is truly a Palace to leave your beloved pets, they deserve all of the 5*
Another excellent stay for our Rocky, he loves going and loves the all the fuss he gets. You really will not find a better establishment in Shropshire and would have to go a long way to find one as good. Everything about Pooch Palace is excellent. Thank you ladies Mark & Lyn
Last month Alfie had his first holiday at Pooch Palace. I don’t think he really wanted to come home! The team at PP were so friendly and professional from the get go so I knew he was in safe hands. We had daily updates so we knew and could see how much fun he was having! He’ll certainly be back again!
Fantastic! The day care facilities are second to none, our Barney loves going every week. We have used the bording side also and he loved it. In fact I was jealous! Heated floors and a 4 poster bed! The team here are great also, always really friendly and you can tell they love every pooch at the palace.
Rona has been having great holidays with Barking Mad for nearly a decade. Every single time we have fantastic personal service, and Rona goes off relaxed and comes home even more so. She's nearly 14 now but I have no worries about her with their lovely care. Thanks so much Anne and team, we are very grateful
AMAZING. Will never use kennels ever again. We both use Barking Mad to send our 2 dogs, Leo and Kara, on holiday as well as having the pleasure of looking after other who spend their holiday with us. So far we have looked after every type of dog from Beagle to Great Dane and our two really enjoy being with Anne. Cannot recommend highly enough - why not give something different a try for your dogs instead of kennel.
Excellent service used them for over 4 years can't fault there fantastic service. Would not use anyone else. My dog loves his regular people he stays with when we are away. Would never use birding kennels.
Our dog Ted has had a lovely time on his holiday whilst we had ours. Thanks so much Anne ! X
Haven't actually taken my dogs here yet but very impressed with the way things are organised
Fantastic bespoke professional service. 100% would recommend to other pet owners.
Very professional Company. Definitely recommended
Excellent place, took my 2 older dogs for a week , and when we picked them up they seemed really well looked after calm and pleased to see us. Nice to see a boarders that look after your pets nicely will definitely be taking them back again .
Dotty came for her trial day today fabulous kennels the gentleman we saw was lovely, dotty will be back in October while we go on holiday and honestly I feel really happy I chose cottage kennels for her to go to Thankyou so much see u in October
Trail day great idea. Our greyhound was with them for 17 nights, she came back with no issues. Staff friendly booking experience drop of collection all good. We paid extra for a nail clipping and a groom before she came home, both well priced extras
Alot of availability, good price and quick pick ups. Dog is always wagging his tail when he gets there
I shan’t comment on the dogs using these kennels as my dogs have not. I visited in order to view the kennels prior to booking, unfortunately I’m met with a strict man who advised they don’t allow that for security reasons. Now I can appreciate that but I can’t appreciate there being absolutely no work around. I would have expected perhaps a system that allows them to record your details and see photo ID so they know who is coming and going OR a photo booklet that allows you to see their facilities. Unfortunately their website does not even show photos OR state that viewings are impossible. I can see many a good review of this establishment however I’m sure I’m not the only person to think this way but i can’t book my dogs to stay in a place I’ve never seen. Sorry but a customer has been lost here. In addition to not being able to view. I do question the morals of this establishment. Are we dog lovers looking to provide a great stay or are we money driven. The only reason I say this is, as soon as I was told I could not view, I was immediately reminded of the price of stays. Honestly felt like the next step was the man taking my wallet from my pocket and taking my money. I don’t need reminding how much money it will cost me, I can see that online. I can see there are a few negative reviews by members of the public. I can only assume they all relate to the same member of staff working on the reception. I also assume it is him who is replying to their reviews with sarcastic and rude replies. The replies to negative comments are unprofessional and not what I expect from such a highly portrayed establishment. Now I don’t want a response from the establishment. I just hope they listen to what is being said.
Thank you for looking after Vera on her first stay with you. She came home happy and healthy and tired. See you again soon for doggy day care. Kind wishes Doreen & Vera
Flossy has been boarding here for seven years now,she always comes home happy and contented,the owners are really dedicated to look after your pet,the kennels are lovely and clean,and the pets get plenty of exercise,
We went to pay for our dog to stay here today and were greeted by a what can best be described as an extremely rude “gentleman” with a what do you want ? No sign of politeness if he can treat customers like this how will he treat my dog ? Good news for my dog he will not have a chance to look after her.
Fantastic kennels and cattery and their new dog park is fantastic value for money my dogs loved every minute, 4 acres and secure 6ft fences makes fir a very safe place for your dogs to run freely
First weekend stay here for our 2 year old Jack Russell. Lovely friendly owner who clearly loves looking after his guests. Took time to make sure he knew everything about our dog. Albie came home happy and had obviously been very well looked after. Definitely recommend
