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.
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.
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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!
Andrea has been house sitting and looking after my 2 pups for holidays for a couple of years . They now go to her house and they clearly love going. They are spoilt rotten, have the best walks and full run of the massive garden there. Andrea sends me photos and videos every day meaning I can relax knowing they are happy and chilled. ( see below 😊) I wouldn’t send them anywhere else now so book my holidays around her availability.
Andrea is amazing with Sonny, he is shattered after every day out walking with her - in the very best happy dog way! She sends so many videos of him having an absolute blast with his doggy friends. Different locations to mix it up for every dog, her routes are so thoughtful and varied for the dogs to experience seaside/forest/marshland and a really good life while I'm stuck at work basically!! Plenty of enrichment both outside and inside. Great to be able to board Sonny whether for one night or longer I know he is in great hands with Andrea. Can't recommend enough for both dog walking and boarding. Sonny loves his sleepovers with his little bff Vinnie. Reading his note like a report card about his day and the adventures they had brings me so much joy! Andrea is amazing to look after Sonny, and in Carlisle, I wouldn't board him with anyone else - like others have said, I book holidays around her availability.
Amazing service and care. Absolutely brilliant. Andrea is so caring and understanding as I was nervous of leaving my dog somewhere new. She sent regular photos and videos with updates which was reassuring. My dog was so well looked after and would definitely use their service again.
Andrea was recommended to me by my previous Dog Walker. Professional and caring right from the start Andrea came and met him and I’ve never looked back. Rio loves his walks with her 4 days a week and the peace of mind knowing he is so well looked after is priceless. Love reading the notes from Andrea after their walks of where they have visited and the videos are such fun to see Rio enjoying time with his doggy friends. Thank you for taking such good care of Rio 🤎🐾 xx
Andrea is a life saver ! And our dogs love their time out with her and the other dogs. It’s great that our dogs can have fun socialising with other dogs and get plenty of exercise. Andrea understands the varying characters and needs and is always prompt and gives us updates and photos on every occasion. Even on the wettest days Andrea is always there with a smile and a bundle of energy. We totally trust her with our dogs and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Andrea looks after our cat, Raven, when we are away and to know she is being cared for (so brilliantly) in her own home is a god send to us. Andrea is friendly, kind, caring and trustworthy, she is a true gem. I’d highly recommend
My two whippets stayed with Andrea for over a week,visited her the week before,she was lovely with them,so was Mark her husband,on the day I dropped them off,all very smooth,all my questions were answered,her house is very dog friendly and the garden is lovely and big,all through the holiday I was sent videos,really put my mind at ease,all the paperwork was done online,Andrea is extremely organised with everything,I wouldn’t go anywhere else now,walked every day,I would trust her with my girls 100%, they settled in really quickly and were given lots of cuddles throughout,cannot recommend her enough
Where do I start with my five star review. Andrea is the most reliable, friendly , passionate and affectionate pet sitter I have ever met in my life. She cares so much for my doggies and always has a can do attitude. I leave and I feel very comfortable that Andrea will take care of the household and doggies. Do not hesitate to book any services. Extremely recommended. Thank you ☺️
Andrea is great with the dogs and they love us going away so that they can have Andrea look after them, taking them for long walks on the beach. Would highly recommend.
Andrea has taken care of our cat for the past 7 months and she takes great care of him. She sends us pictures, our cat trusts her, and she leaves the house in a great state. Would not use anyone else.
Mabel is always happy to go and stay with Dawn and she always looks fab when I collect her. Other kennels have caused her to lose weight. Definitely recommend.
Our boys jump in the car an hour before they go to Dawns! She clearly loves animals and they come back happy and well cared for. Dawn is always happy to help at short notice if she can. Highly recommend
Great freedom field, our 3 loved it. We will go back soon.
Flynn love's going for his holiday last time he went he didn't want to come home great place great people 5 star's to them thank you so much x
Used the freedom field several time very good.never used the kennels.
Brilliant, fantastic staff and owners , I will be going back in a month to use their service.
Lovely cattery.
My dog Rosie has attended DDD since she was around 4 months old. It was a brilliant place for her to socialise as a puppy. Now age 2 she still goes twice per week and for occasional over night stays. Mark and Sindy are very reliable and nothing is too much trouble. I always feel reassured that Rosie is safe and well cared for and she is always happy to go which tells me she she enjoys her time there. I would highly recommend DDD for anyone looking for doggy daycare.
Highly Recommend Dumfries Doggie Daycare, we decided to try our Mini Schnauzer with Mark & Sindy as he didn't interact very much with other dogs, didn't play with toys etc & just over excited by other dogs, he is a different dog now, toys, toys, toys & plays well with others. Professional service, completely relaxed leaving our Woody with them.
Our dog hates kennels, but loves Dumfries Doggy Daycare. It is a great weight off our minds on holiday knowing she is so well looked after. There is lots for her to do in the garden and places inside for a bit of peace and quiet. We also get regular photos and updates to see how settled she is.
My miniature schnauzer loves going to Dumfries Doggy Day Care. He loves Mark and Cindy and the opportunities he gets there to socialise with other dogs. The outside area is large and has lots of equipment that provides stimulation for the dogs and a warm comfortable inside area for relaxing or wet days! As an owner I find Mark and Cindy very approachable and accomodating to any requests out of my usual pattern. I would highly recommend their service if you are considering day care for your dog!
We used Dumfries Doggy Daycare for our two Sprocker Spaniel pups until they were old enough and mature enough to be left for longer periods on their own. We also used their stayover service which was fab too. It was great for puppy socialising, learning skills and was like home from home! They loved it. Sindy and Mark were great at giving us regular updates too. We were able to go to work knowing that they were being looked after so well. We would recommend Dumfries Doggy Daycare to anyone looking for doggy care, genuine peace of mind that their furry friends are being looked after well, and for those looking for the best start for their pups.
For anyone looking for a home from home for their beloved pups - look no further! Sindy, Mark & their own pups are the friendliest bunch. They welcomed our cocker spaniel Steve with love and lots of attention. Steve runs into Dumfries Doggy daycare every time we go - we can just tell he is well looked after and stimulated. He is one happy exhausted Pooch when he comes home. The other dogs are friendly and the team do a great job of vetting owners, and meeting/integrating new dogs Steve with their pack. They really took the time to get to know us and our dog. We couldn’t recommend them more highly - just a fantastic and what are you waiting for?!
Our Dachshund pup Otto has been going to Mark and Sindy since August and he absolutely loves it. They take such great care of him and I am so confident he is being properly looked after. Mark and Sindy are very professional about their work and passionate about what they do.
Tried a few other places within the town and the surrounding area before coming here. They look after our dog once a week and she knows when she is to go as she waits by our front door on drop off day. She runs down the road to their premises which is a good sign! The overnight service is great too, the dog stays in the house with them so I know she is safe, warm and happy. Best place in town by far.
Great environment for dogs, our pug is ways excited to go to Doggie Daycare and always comes away super tired from all the fun she's had. Highly recommend!
Lola has been going to Dumfries doggie day care for a few weeks now, absolutely great service Mark and Sindy provide excellent care and attention to each dogs individual needs would highly recommend them to anyone looking for daycare or boarding it really is all about the dogs .Lola loves it.
Excellent transport and assistance provided by Michael for my first ever dog! He drove from Sheffield to Canterbury, stopping off at two service stations so my dog could exercise and make some mess! The car used was very smart and comfortable.
I have had the most amazing trip to pick my puppy stray up from Zante and drive all the way back to Yorkshire. My driver/courier, Norman was fantastic. The whole process went smoothly, safely and was a trip of a lifetime. They organised every last detail to ensure the dog and myself were comfortable and well looked after. Highly recommend this fantastic company. Expensive but SO well worth it. Thank you.
I travelled with my dog from Sweden to Wales. They were very professional and organised and even remembered our names when we would call. No issues with booking etc. Were given plenty of information and contacted by the driver days before which was reassuring. He arrived in a branded van and clothes which reassured me (I am a young woman) and was very professional throughout. The van was clean and well equipped for transporting my dog and we took regular breaks around every 4 hours. Well worth the money and would definitely use c four paws again. Thanks/Diolch!
We had Milo collect from London on Sunday with two cages and a carry cage and lots of toys. Milo was perfectly happy and items were in good order. Collected on time and delivered on time. Excellent service and driver was very nice. Highly recommended for animal transport. Will definitely use again if the need arises. Good job thank you
Calagran Four Paws and my driver Will were absolutely amazing at handling our cross country transport for a long distance move. Having a rather large Staffy x Old Tyme, who had sadly had to be exempted due to her size, I was even terrified to take her on the road in anything other than proper transport. And with it being such a long way I wanted a safe long distance option also for all round safety and comfort. Our needs were catered for with the upmost care and Will was absolutely amazing with my nervousness and with my lovely girls nervy nature. I couldn't have been happier and I plan to travel with them again. I can highly recommend them.
I highly recommend this company. I just endured an incredibly stressful and long importation process into Europe and finally into the UK with my 3 med/large breed dogs. CFourPaws went above and beyond to help me logistically with things they really didn't have to and was outside of their services. Provided much needed emotional support and were empathetic to my unforeseen financial costs. Really without people like Keith and Greig, I may have crumbled under the stress of it all. BIg animal lovers, BIG hearts and can't fault them. Thanks CFourPaws x
I have been bringing my dogs here for a few years now. They are always happy to come back and I love that the kennels share photos with you of your pets. The drop-off was very useful
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. In a medical emergency you were the first kennels we found after literally 100's of phone calls with spare capacity to take Casper while his mum had an emergency operation to remove a brain tumour. The 10x photo's you sent us showing him happy & thoroughly enjoying a run in the secure field were a huge relief to his dad & a massive boost to his mum's immediate recovery.
We recently used C Four Paws to transport our dog Adi from Glasgow to Heathrow for her trip home to Canada. David was a very kind and professional driver and got us to the Kennel at Heathrow on time in spite of some unavoidable traffic delays along the way. We’re back home with Adeline safe and sound and are very grateful for having used the services of your company and David for the first leg of our trip.
An absolute lifesaver when it came to transporting me and my cats from Dublin to Somerset. There was fantastic communication the entire time during the booking process and our driver Clive was incredible! They made what was a very stressful move for me and my cats, a very easy time and I cannot thank Clive and the whole team enough.
Thanks so much to Kari and family for looking after our Tav at their beautiful home Wild Tides. This is the first time we have left him with someone other than family, but we felt so reassured as Kari kept us updated with regular photos and texts. He even got to sleep on the couch! We will definitely use this service again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a ‘home from home’ environment for their precious dog❤️
Our spaniel boy has the best time at Wild Tides. Kari is great with dogs and sends photos and videos. Would 100% recommend!
Hi, first overnight stay for Hamish, and would thoroughly recommend as made Hamish very welcome into a dog loving home.
Dogs happy. I got a mid city touch up to trim eyebrows,beard and ears in with the price as dogs didn't require full grooming . Great Service.
An absolutely fantastic place for owners who need care for their dogs when working or having a day away. Arlo loves it as well as loving the owners of it too. He can't wait to get there and meet up with everyone. I would definitely recommend Wagg this way if you need day care for your furry friend. It is so enjoyable for Arlo we continued to use it even when working from home during lockdown.
Great place to bring your beloved dog. Harley and Chris are very passionate with what they do and go above and beyond to make sure my pup has a great experIence while at Wagg this way, wouldn’t send my pup anywhere else totally recommend☺️
Would 100% recommend Wagg This Way to everyone that is looking for day care for their pooch. Very friendly and polite couple, who are very professional and passionate about their work. They go above and beyond. My pooches were well looked after and had a blast. Keep up the amazing work Thank you
Would 100% recommend bringing your dogs here. The owner's are brilliant and very committed to their work. Recommended by a friend, and wouldn't go anywhere else!
My puppy enjoyed her day meeting new friends. Harley very welcoming. Will be booking in again very soon. 😁 …
Harley and Chris are very good and enthusiastic in what they do, I would 100% recommend to anyone I know.
