Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
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!
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!
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
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!
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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!
Mine simply is the best. When we leave our little one with Mine, he is so happy to be there, he doesn’t even look back at us when we leave. So we leave him with Mine with a lot of confidence. Mine always shares pictures and updates. Her love and passion for her job and dogs is so clear. We have been boarding our little one with Mine for years now. Always had such a positive experience. Our boy comes back much better behaving, well socialised, even smelling all clean and lovely😅 Mine deserves max stars and more. Highly recommend her.
I am so grateful for the service I receive at 'Mine is yours pet care.' I get messages, pictures and videos reassuring me that my puppy is having a wonderful time while I am away which helps me relax and enjoy my adventures my dog can't come with me on. I totally trust this company with my Oscar. I truly believe Nina and Sarah have a strong and intricate understanding of not just dogs generally, but specific breeds. I was gone for 3 days and when I returned I had returned to a calmer and generally better behaved puppy. Mia (the family dog) is also such a such a friendly and lovely girl, she makes a great asset to the team. Makes me very happy leaving him there knowing he has such fun and lovely company with whom I trust. Thank you very much Nina, Sarah and Mia, Jason (Oscars dad)
I am unbelievably happy that I found Mine and Sarah. They are so dedicated to providing outstanding levels of nurturing care. The service they provide is miles apart from anything else I have seen. Mine clearly has excellent canine knowledge and constantly provides me with really helpful advice. My 20 week old puppy loves her time with Mine and Sarah - the photos and the videos they send back this up; its so lovely to see her so happy and stimulated when I can't be with her. Thank you for your kindness, flexibility and outstanding care.
Mine is Yours Pet Care stands out a mile! Mine provided the best pet care we have ever had! The rates are such great value too. So grateful as Mine and Sarah went over and above our expectations with pictures and video updates, they were so much more relaxed and happy when we returned🐾 You can relax and trust that your pet will not only be in safe hands, but they'll recieve so much love and affection. Very local for us which was even better. We received regular updates which was reassuring and we were able to totally relax whilst away for a week. 5 stars and (more if we could give!) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🤩 thank you!
Our dog has been going to Mine is Yours for over a year and she is always incredibly excited to go in the morning. She is so happy and loves seeing her friends there, and we love seeing the photos of her day. Mine's love and enthusiasm for dogs shines through in everything she does with them, and she goes above and beyond in her care and play. We are always confident to leave our dog in Mine's care as we know she will be treated as if she were her own dog. We would thoroughly recommend Mine is Yours to anyone who is looking for dog day care.
Would give more stars if I could! Mine is Yours really is just that, Albus is like one of the family when he’s there. As someone who works away frequently, it’s such a relief to know that Albus is safe, happy and living his best life. He comes home from daycare and boarding having had the best time (and would probably stay longer if he had the choice). The perfect place to leave your pup knowing that not only will their needs be met and they’ll be loved as much as if they were at home. Thank you!
I would give 100 stars if I could! Belle has been staying with Mine and family for days and overnight stays since Feb when she was a little 2.5kg 3 month pup, and has the most wonderful experience every time. She is loved and cared for, and has an absolute blast with Mine’s amazing dog Maya and the other dogs. Her doggy social skills and confidence have been brought on no end by the positive interactions and socialisation she has during her visits, in a safe environment where her individual needs are catered for. I can relax knowing she is in the absolute best hands (and enjoy the photos and updates during the day). I am so grateful to Mine, who is such a warm person and clearly a true dog lover and expert - I couldn’t recommend more!
Our little Jack Russell had to stay with Mine for 4 nights and we were very pleased with how Mine showed a wonderful warm and caring nature towards her. We felt at ease and happy about our doggie being in the care of Mine’s boarding and we will be using her in the future for sure.
Mina was super responsive, and we met a few hours after our messages to chat and discuss Mushu and his potential stay. I was quite anxious as this was the first time Mushu would be away, and there was only four days' notice. I met Mina, her partner and Maya, and instantly they built up my trust, and I was happy to leave Mushu with them. They cared for Mushu brilliantly. I loved the updates, photos and videos that made abundantly clear that Mushu was enjoying himself. I had an airtag on him in case something happened/wanted to see where he was, and I completely forgot about it. A testament to how much I was confident and relaxed. I couldn’t be happier with how it went. I also feel lucky as it was so smooth to chat, meet and book with such short notice. Needless to say, Mushu will be coming back for care, walks and whatnot. Thank you for making this an extraordinarily positive, stress-free experience for Mushu and me. I was slightly concerned Mushu would not want to go home… thank you for everything!
We are so happy we chose you guys for boarding! Not only did our dogs love it but we had daily updates and photos of an amazing home to home experience for our beloved dogs xx
Great little kennel, we’ve used it a bunch of times for our two cockapoos, and never had any issues and our puppies always come back happy. Belinda is really helpful and when we were away for a longer time she kindly sent us an update with a little video of our doggies playing, which was so sweet and reassuring.
Used Penny Paws for our pup for a week, Cooper had a great time. He was sad to leave! Kennels has access to lots of countryside for walks, has enclosed areas for dogs to safely roam at the kennels, the kennels themselves are heated. Everyone we had contavt with were super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend Penny Paws. Thankyou!
Well set up kennels, small number of kennels.so not overwhelming for my dog. They have a safe outdoor area for the dogs to play and they get two walks a day, easy distance from shoreham
Lovely Kennels situated on a farm so the dogs have 2 good walks a day and get to spend part of the day out of their Kennels in a enclosed grass area too. Very helpful and friendly family run the Kennels . 5 Star treatment for our four legged friends. Highly recommend Penny Paws Kennels.
Great family run business. Rafa’s first time staying with Penny’s Paws this weekend and he absolutely loved it! Lovely kennels and lots of space to run about and play and enjoy lots of great walks on the farm. Will definitely be using Penny’s Paws again!
Great friendly staff. Affordable prices. Looked after my pup like she was family. Strongly recommend Penny Paws to anyone looking for excellent kennel services.
Our Pom Lexi had a lovely time, family run and very friendly I would highly recommend!! Big thank you to Penny for giving Lexi such a great stay!!
Great kennels set on a lovely farm with loads of space. Staff were very friendly. Highly recommend.
Percy always loves staying at Penny Paws, brilliant family run business with excellent facilities and a beautiful area with lovely walks.
The family were lovely. Great service. We’ll be using them again when we go away next
I have house Rabbits and needed someone to come to my property to feed+water/change litter trays etc whilst I was away for a week and can't recommend this company enough! I felt so at ease and comfortable with the lovely lady, you can tell she has a love for animals so I knew my babies would be well looked after and spoilt. Thank you so much, will definitely use again.
Jess has looked after our cat a few times now while we've been away, including an over two week trip and she's been absolutely amazing. Our cat loves her. She doesn't just come in and feed her, she'll stay and play with her too to make sure she doesn't get lonely. Jess provides daily updates, with photos too. Would 100% recommend Jess and wouldn't consider anyone else.
Jess looked after our fur baby Scamp the cat whilst we were on holiday and we were so grateful for all the time and love she put into visiting him. He adores Jess and was so relaxed when we came home as he’d obviously loved having her daily visits. It was such a lovely touch that Jess sent us pics and videos of him looking happy and chilled in our absence too. I wholeheartedly recommend Jess for giving your fur babies the love and attention they deserve. She’s a very reliable, thoughtful pet service that goes above and beyond to make your pets feel safe and happy 😻
Jess was absolutely amazing with our cats, she has so much knowledge and experience. Both of my cats are very shy and normally don’t warm to cat sitters but they were cuddling up to Jess instantly. She also kept us updated with how they were - would 100% recommend Jess to anyone!
Jess looked after our cat Daphne while we were away. Daphne is a very shy and anxious girl. I think I was more anxious about going away than Daphne was. Jess did an amazing job, we first had a meet and greet and Jess was so gentle and patient with Daphne. While we were away Jess came in 3 times a day, were updated after every visit with photos and videos. Daphne warmed to her very well. We will always use Jess when we go away and would recommend her services to anyone needing their pets looking after.
Jess has been brilliant with our fur baby. Feebs doesn’t always interact with strangers but Jess brought out her playful side. We got a few updates while we were away (I was offered more but felt it would make me miss her more!) Feebs is also on medication which Jess understood and dealt with accordingly. I would highly recommend Jess and Practically Pawfect Pet Services.
Very reliable pet service business. We were looking for someone to look after our dog and rabbits, very very last minute and Jess from Practically Pawfect was so accommodating considering this! She made us feel so at ease while we were away and kept us updated everyday with lots of photos 🐶🐰 We will definitely be using these services again.
Jess has looked after my elderly cats and rabbits on several occasions. I always return to well looked after and happy pets. Jess is great, highly recommended!!
My little one has stayed three times now and always seem to have fun. Walked lots and sleeps well for days after. Loads of photos and text message updates which is reassuring when leaving him there. Will continue to use her services.
Saxton my boarder collie had a great time at Molly's would definitely use them again, and recommend!
10/10 Thank you for taking the stress out of where my dog was going to stay whilst I was away.
Thank you ever so much for having Bugsy and Brie again. They love staying with yourselves as they are so well looked after. In fact I think Bugsy is a little bit depressed being home as he misses you all so much. Big thanks to Lisa, John and all the staff. Lara and Tony xx
Everything you could want for your dog when you are going away. My boy is my world but has separation anxiety, and Lisa and her team have so much care and patience. I wouldn’t trust anyone else now! They went above and beyond to help him through his struggles and he came back home an extremely happy dog, thankyou so much to all of you ❤️
Our dog Tilly has had a few holidays here. All the staff we've met are fantastic. We never like leaving Tilly but we know she is well looked after, and a very happy dog when we pick her up.
Brilliant care givers. Our brood love visiting especially our dog who obviously thoroughly enjoys his stays. Would highly recommend.
Great service always my dog's love visiting!
I've used the Cattery, as have other members of my family, a number of times. The staff are lovely. They genuinely care.
Having booked in several months in advance, we were alerted to issues just several weeks before the stay. We were never alerted to these on the two previous occasions when using the kennels, nor when speaking to the staff on the phone at time of booking and subsequently. Just days before the stay, we were sent text messages from the kennels contradicting previous communications and when we asked questions/for more information we had passive aggressive replies (some deleted by the staff member but screenshotted prior). We were left to cancel the booking at this extremely late notice which was obviously very stressful. Unfortunately you don't know what goes on at the kennels, especially when communication is so poor.
A Great place, kind caring staff ,lovely owners, my 2 pups love it there Thank you for looking after my pups so well xx
Excellent service and care. Fair prices.
I would not trust any other place with my pets. Wonderful, caring, and professional people. Thank you for all that you do!
Lynn boarded our guinea pigs for us this last week. All her hutches are very spacious as is the outside space. Also very secure eith separate runs plus electric fencing to keep away foxes. She also popped in to feed our cat and chickens. All our animals are happy and healthy on our return. We will definitely use Lynn's services again and fully recommend.
What a lovely owner and setup. Was happy for me to visit before leaving my tortoises there. First short stay complete. Really flexible on drop off and collection. Next long stay booked. Really happy to have found pets away so close to home. Big glowing recommendation from me and my torts.
Our rabbits love it at PETS AWAY! Would 10000% recommend.
By far the best! Our previous St Bernard used the kennels regularly and loved it there as she did Marilyn & Lesley. Our current St Bernard is the same as well as our 4 cats. All animals are so cared for and treated exceptionally well. It makes me feel so comfortable leaving them when we go on holiday knowing there in such good hands.
After using the same kennels in Essex Twigs aged 11and Lilly aged 10 stayed at Beggars Bush for the first time. We can honestly say we are delighted with their stay as they have come back very happy. Lesley and Marilyn were caring and very honest with their feedback to us about twigs and Lilly's stay at their very well run, clean establishment. We will definitely be regular customers and would highly recommend them.
Lesley & Marilyn absolutely adore dogs, are the best and most precious people a dog owner lucky enough to have found them should know. Our 2 lovely jacks Fudge & Taz, now in dog heaven, loved them and they clearly loved them back. Now Molls has her holidays there, gets excited as we turn off onto the driveway, runs up to the door and never ever looks back as we walk away. Thanks girls.
I went for a visit before I booked my dog in and Lesley and Marilyn were very friendly. The place seems a lovely size, and quite with plenty of space for the dogs to run. My collie seemed quite comfortable during the visit. He is now booked in for August.
We have been going to Beggars Bush for years and both Marilyn and Lesley are great with the dogs. However due to an illness with my youngest dog I chose a home boarder as I wasn't comfortable the ladies could cater for them which was their perogative. All fine so far. So back from holiday now and we have another holiday booked for October and the dogs were booked in with Beggars Bush - that was until this afternoon when I received an email saying because I hadn't contacted them since coming back from holiday they have cancelled my bookings without asking me first. It's such a shame because my dogs loved going there but I won't be using them anymore if that's their best customer service
There is nowhere better for your dogs. We've taken our dogs here for nearly 30 years and, (from experience), do not consider anywhere else. Marylin and Lesley love all their customers dogs and cats.
Jules & Meg stayed while we enjoyed Peru. Will definitely book again. Very highly recommended indeed. Many thanks Lesley & Marilyn.
Our miniature schnauzer has been going here for 2 years. He loves it, especially being able to run around with other dogs when they are exercised. Whe we get there he strains at the lead to go and greet them. Very satisfied.
Excellent kennels. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed himself and was so well looked after by Lesley and Maz.
It's been recommended. But we Both/All know, Collies dont Cope,Well in Kennels & one of Mine is ex Rescue & Now,15. He,d think he,d been Dumped Again & my younger Collie. Was distraught the Only time she,s been Kenneled. I totally agree with Beggars Bush that they Wouldnt Cope
I genuinely can’t praise Nikki enough, she’s one of the very few people I trust with my dogs and I know she treats them as is they are her own. They have always come back from their walks happy and I am confident she understands what their needs are, when Rufus was very elderly she was able to ensure he was with the right group of dogs and was able to adjust his walks appropriately. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Puss n Pooch! Oh and she’s a great and reliable cat feeder too!
Nikki has been brilliant looking after our little Lhasa Apso, who adores her. She takes him out for walkies, he’s very slow and needs to have extra time , which is never a problem for Nikki. It’s been such a pleasure and such a positive experience having Puss n’ Pooch part of looking after our dog.
Puss n Pooch are excellent. I know my dog is in safe hands and will always be having a fun walk with her friends. I especially love getting the photos after each walk to see how much fun she has had! Great business, would highly recommend!!
Nikki has really helped in training our Ridgeback, Teaching lots of games and training to use to bring puppy's excitement under control, she started on a group training course and now we have one to one training which is really great. Nikki is hands on and our dog has learned loads! Would definitely recommend, and most importantly our dog loves her 😍we nickname her The Dog Whisperer!
Nicola at Puss and Pooch is an amazing cat sitter. My precious cat Jezebel has a new best friend. I could not be happier.
Stephanie is great, our Springer Spaniel, Charlie, loves his walks with her. She's been really flexible over times and dates as our work life balance has changed and offers a very good value for money service. Totally recommend her.
Great service provided by Steph at Barking Banana. I always know my dog Rodney is in good hands, he loves the walks which are always varied and in different locations. Very trustworthy, I know rodney is in good hands. I use Steph most days, if I need an unexpected walk she has always been able to accommodate last minute. Stephs sitting service is also very good. I would highly recommend Steph to anyone needing a dog walker, very competitive prices and always a friendly service.
Our dog has been walking with Steph at barking banana for over a year and loves it. Steph is reliable and manages our pup very well. She also house sits with the dog whilst we are away - much more comfy and convinient than kennels! Would highly recommend
Stephanie is great with my two dogs and I feel very comfortable leaving her to pet sit if I'm away
Very helpfull and I trust steph with phoebe and phoebe loves it
