Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
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!
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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!
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!
Man’s Best Friend Kensington and Chelsea is the absolute best! Our dog Roger is always so excited when the team members come to our door to pick him up and comes home absolutely exhausted. The team is so attentive and kind, constantly updating us on Roger, responding in timely manner and you can really tell how much they love these pups. I would 100% recommend them!
So glad we've found Man's Best Friend to take care of Bailey for her weekly day care and walks. Professional service through and through with good pick up and drop off time. Bailey had a great first day and updates were provided to know that she's had an eventful day. She came home content and happy (very sleepy!)
We have been sending coco to man’s best friend for a few years now and I can honestly say they’re the best. They show genuine care and love for the dogs and I know coco is happy and safe. The admin team are also great. I genuinely highly recommend using them!
The team at Man’s Best Friend are all brilliant and take such good care of our dog on walks as well as at their full day care venue. Pablo is really happy in their company and has fun with them everyday. It makes us happy knowing how well he’s looked after by them and we love bumping into his friends from daycare locally. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommended Man’s Best Friend!
I've been using Man's Best Friend services for more than two years, and I only have amazing things to say about the team and the exceptional care they provide. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals are evident in everything they do. Whether it's walks, daycare, or boarding, they consistently go above and beyond to ensure both pets and their owners are happy and at ease. The team is always friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making every experience seamless and enjoyable. I trust them completely with my furry person and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for top-notch pet care. Man's Best Friend truly lives up to their name! 🐾
What a fabulous service! Our little one gets out the door for a full day runabout and we get her back happy and tuckered out in the afternoon. It's clear from the photos all the doggies are having a romping good time. MBFKC has clearly grown since we first signed up and met with Emma (founder) who came to meet us and our little girl, but the service has stayed top notch and feels very personal and connected. Highly recommend!
I was over the moon with the outcome of Bugsy’s dog walk. He was so happy and had the biggest grin on his return :-) I met Emma the owner of the company who picked him and dropped him off, she was an absolute delight and so lovely. Bugsy fell in love with her immediately and so did I. we are so excited for his next walk. If you’re looking for a trusted, professional and super friendly dog walker who will care for your dog as much as you do then this is the place. I am happy and grateful to have been recommended this absolute wonderful find. Xxxxx
Lilo, my 4-yr old french bulldog, absolutely adores Man's Best Friend. Lilo runs out my door in the morning when I tell her Mandy is picking her up for daycare and practically leaps into Mandy's arms. When I am out of town, Lilo has the best adventures with the families and friends that board her for overnight parties. They even had a puppy Christmas celebration - amazingly sweet.
I can't say enough good things about the team at Man’s Best Friend! Otis had an amazing experience from the very first day. After his first visit, he was so excited to be picked up again by the lovely Emilia—it was clear he had a great time! The communication with the team, especially Anoushka, has been outstanding. I love receiving the adorable pictures and detailed reports throughout the day from the caring staff. Otis is always thrilled to go, and I couldn't be happier with the level of care and attention he receives.
Great day care services, dogs get picked up and drop off which is very convenient, and they always take the best care for them, he comes home exhausted after playing all day long and very happy. Thank you so much for taking care of our dog.
Liz was a great companion to my precious dog Molly! She was extremely detailed with updates and photos. She went above and beyond to accommodate me. I was so happy I found her and look forward to my next visit to London. Amazing lady , it was a pleasure to have met her.
Liz and her team have walked our miniature schnauzer Roxie for 2 years now and I cannot say enough good things! Roxie absolutely loves every member of the team and goes crazy when they come to pick her up. We have also used the dog sitting facilities and find Liz and her team so flexible with timings and last minute requests. We get photos of every walk and communication is excellent. Very impressive service and we trust the team completely.
Liz was absolutely fantastic at looking after our cat. We organised her to pop in each day to feed and change her toilet etc, and I was beyond impressed with the level of care Liz showed. Also loved the daily message and photo updates! I will be booking Liz again next time we go away!! Highly recommend!
We had a great experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Liz and any of her dog walkers. We always had clear communication and everyone we met was passionate about dogs.
Liz has been our hotel dog sitter for 4 days when we stayed in a central hotel in London. She is the best dog sitter. We could do a lot of things and enjoy fine dining in London and don't need to worry about our dog. Our puppy also had a lot of fun these four days because of Liz. We definitely will book the hotel dog sitting service again when we go to London.
Liz took great care of our dog and home while we were away for a week. She was diligent with details to make sure she understood our dog's needs and routines. Her communication was excellent which really put our minds at ease. We were able to relax on our holiday knowing that our dog and home were well looked after. We have also worked with Robyn from Liz's team and were equally as pleased! We felt extremely confident that our dog was in good hands, safe and cared for with Robyn. Each time we came home from our holiday to a very happy puppy! We are very happy with our experiences with the Furry Dogmother and we would definitely recommend working with Liz and Robyn!
Liz is absolutely brilliant - a view shared by me and my dog! Having Liz pet sit for a long weekend meant that for the first time I wasn't worried at all and could properly enjoy being away knowing my whippet was in the best of hands. She sends photo updates and checks in as much as you need (a lot in my case!), she is professional, responsive, takes in as much detail as you can provide on the various needs of your dog and really lovely too. What more could you need. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
We are so happy we chose Liz as our dog sitter and would highly recommend her services! She has a great relationship with our Border Terrier, Henry - he loves her and is very happy in her company. It is so great to be able to leave your puppy with someone you trust completely, knowing that he will be happy, safe and have fun. I would not hesitate to recommend Liz to any dog or cat owner.
We are extremely grateful to Liz for looking after our much loved and adored dog Ted. We were extremely anxious about leaving him with anyone (especially after lockdown) but Liz eased all our fears! Liz is reliable, extremely knowledgeable and very reassuring but also professional. Ted adores her and was a very happy dog when we came home! Even our cat fell in love with Liz! We would 100% recommend Liz to any dog owner.
Liz is an absolute treasure! After relocating from the States and needing to make a quick trip back, My wife and I were so anxious about finding someone to care for our dogs and cat - but as soon as we talked to Liz, all our anxiety went away. She is brilliant with my animals and you can tell she loves them as much as they love her! We feel so lucky to have found her. She kept us updated with regular communication and photos and took such great care of our flat while I was away. We can’t recommend her enough and am already reaching back out for another stay!
I brought my friend here for her birthday and we had the best time!! Best idea I’ve ever had for a birthday gift and will definitely be visiting again…for my birthday haha. The staff were super lovely and friendly and the dogs…well the dogs were great fun! We could have happily sat there with them all day long. It was the best feel good experience ever and we were buzzing for the rest of the day. Would totally recommend this to any dog lover, it was a really fun experience that I wish could have gone on forever! Thank you so much for being so lovely and accommodating and we will definitely be back for more canine cuddles!!😊
What a great experience! The only thing we can suggest is that at least one hot or cold drink would be offered in the price we pay. Great experience, very friendly staff and great dogs 😊 Had a blast! …
We did the pet a pooch session and what a lovely experience it was! All of the dogs were very friendly, well trained and were happy to have a cuddle and do some tricks for a treat. The staff were also extremely welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend for any occasion if you are a dog lover.
My friend brought me here for my birthday and we had such a lovely time! The staff were great and the dogs were so sweet - it was a really nice experience. I’m excited to come back 🐶 …
I’m in London for holiday and was really missing my pup😭 I went in to this place without an appointment and they were kind enough to get me on the schedule last minute. I almost died when I saw the doggies. They were so friggon adorable and sweet. Best day ever💗 …
Me and my boyfriend had the most amazing time here with pet-a-pooch! Thanks to TfL, we were a little bit late but the lady was super accommodating and we were still able to join in the session. All the dogs seemed to be chilled out and happy to just be hanging out with people, and I really appreciate being able to give them small treats to bond. Would love to come back again with friends😁
I had an amazing experience on this place! pet-a-pooch .. definitely would go back and recommend this place. Also the atmosphere feels relaxing and these cute dogs are so lovely, they took my stress away hahaha really! btw they were so active when they know we have the treat. All of them are so cute.. special mention to mocha who's so active and energetic, and the cutest king louie (correct me if i'm wrong with this) And lastly, i won't forget how amazing the staff there. ❤️ if I already have a dog I would bring my dog here I know it would feel home for them here too. thank you!!!!
Came for a birthday treat, was a great session with some great dogs, lovely coffee and lovely proprietors. Would definitely recommend.
Took 7 x 11 year old girls there for my daughter’s birthday. 1 hour of joyful cuddling with a bunch of gorgeous good natured dogs of multiple breeds in a lovely setting. Our hostess Charlie did a great job of overseeing everything. Kids all had a great time and came away chatting about which their favourite was. Highly recommend 👍👍👍 …
Had such a lovely time at King’s Dog Daycare Cafe! The staff were so friendly, dogs were very cute and cuddly (wanted to take them home!) and coffee and hot chocolate were tasty! We will definitely be visiting again next time we are passing, as it’s like therapy but cheaper!!
Kate & Shay are the perfect cat sitters, I've used their services for the last 3 years after my vet recommended them as trustworthy & caring - which they've proved to be. I have a very nervous rescue cat but she immediately took to them at first meeting! On my last trip, my flight home was cancelled at the last minute but it was no problem for Lucky Paws to schedule an extra feeding until I could get home again the next day. Very happy with them in every way :)
I have been using LuckyPaws for a few months now to petsit for Pablo and Maya my two cats. They are reliable, friendly and caring petsitters. Always available to petsit at anytime, really appreciate their services, I would highly recommend.
I’ve used Lucky Paws for about 2 years now. They are absolutely fantastic! I regularly travel, and I feel really comfortable and secure knowing they take care of my cats so well when I am away from home. They respond really quickly to any query - and have never failed to agree to any request - no matter how short notice. My favourite thing of all is that they post an Instagram picture of my cats each morning or evening after they’ve visited. It gives me such reassurance and peace of mind to see my cats happy and fed! I love Lucky Paws!
Kate and Shay have been looking after our cats for the last couple of years whenever we go away, and we can not recommend them highly enough. They are so reliable and always manage to fit us in, even at very short notice. It’s so brilliant to be able to go away and not worry about the cats in any way, knowing that whatever happens Lucky Paws will be able to handle it. More than anything I think it’s amazing to have pet sitters who really truly care about the animals they look after. Thanks guys!
We've been using Lucky Paws to feed our cats whenever we're away for a couple of years now. Kate and Shay are clearly big animal lovers - you feel confident that you are leaving your pets in good hands - and they always go the extra mile. We particularly appreciate the way they always check that we've arrived home safely, in case the cats need an extra feed due to our being delayed. We would highly recommend them.
Kate and Shay are fantastic. They are 100% reliable, professional and extremely caring. We love seeing the daily updates on Instagram of our dog Grizzly and all his furry friends - we know he has an absolute blast each day with the Lucky Paws team. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for dog walkers and cannot thank them enough for the kindness and care they have shown to Grizzly.
Kate and Shay have been great dog walkers! Reliable, conscientious, and very caring and consistent with our dog. He always seems happy with them, and I might even say he has been better behaved since he started his walks with them! He's not the easiest dog and we have been through a lot of walkers so it was a relief to find a dependable service with Lucky Paws!!
The perfect combination of expert care and love of animals. I know when my dog is out with Lucky Paws he is safe and happy. Kate and Shay are lovely with people too! Couldn't ask for more. 100% recommend.
Lucky Paws have been our cat sitters for the last 18 months for our nervous rescue cat. They have been perfect and I feel totally confident leaving her with them. I can see from the videos that my cat adores them. They are the only people she’ll tolerate apart from me and my husband.
I could not recommend Lucky Paws highly enough! They are so reliable, professional and friendly. It takes a while for our slightly anti-social sausage dog to get used to people... but he loves going on walks with the team and misses them when we work from home! We look forward to seeing what he has been up to through the regular picture updates on instagram. Kate and Shay are so helpful and we wouldn't go anywhere else!
We can’t speak highly enough of Dave’s Paws. Professional, friendly, honest and reliable. It is the biggest comfort knowing our much loved dog is being looked after as though she was Dave’s own dog. There are no long hours in a van and it is a personalised service. Dave keeps in touch and always does his best to help, even at the last minute. Incredible dog walking, doggy day care and home from home boarding. Thank you 😊
We are extremely lucky to have found Dave and Mikey - they are friendly, reliable, professional and most importantly, great people. Our dog Luna loves day care days and always comes back happy (and shattered!) Would recommend to anyone!
Dave and Mike have always gone out of their way to ensure that our dog (and before that, our cats!) were cared for and really well looked after. They have made owning a pet in London a better, less stressful experience and my family is grateful were were lucky enough to be referred to them almost 10 years ago. They give fantastic value for service and are genuinely lovely people to boot!
I Honestly don't know what I would have done without Dave. Harley was my first dog so the whole process was a learning curve for me Truly enjoyable. Having Dave take Harley on regular walks with 'the pack' other dogs has been an incredible experience for both Harley and myself. She absolutely loves Dave and can hardly contain her excitement on his arrival to collect her. His experience and knowledge is outstanding. Having that peace of mind that your fur baby is in good hands and safe is priceless. Dave sends images of Harley throughout the day of her having fun in the park, which is really reassuring. If out at work, Dave returns Harley and lays out her already prepared food and water before getting her settled and leaving her to rest. These services really are a god send! Due to relocation, both myself and Harley will miss Dave and his services massively. I would highly recommend Dave's Paws to anyone. You can rest assured your pet will be safe with Dave and the pack!
Cannot recommend Dave and his partner Mike enough. Wonderful people who really care about animals. They treat our dogs as their own and have been looking after them for years either with dog walks or coming to stay when we are away. Word of warning - your dogs might end up loving Dave & Mike more than they do you!!
Dave and Mike have been taking care of my dog for nearly a year now and she is truly happy with them and their lovely pack. It is evident when you meet them how much they adore their jobs and all the dogs they look after. I have no hesitation in recommending them. They really are quite wonderful!
Dave’s Paws is an excellent dog walking service. We have had our first dog with Dave for over 2 years and now our second. Dave shows great care and attention for our dogs, he’s reliable, dependable and always has the their best interests at heart. The boys love walking with Dave and are always excited to see him. Could ask for a better dog walker.
Dave and Mike have been amazing with our french bulldog Billie. When I'm out at work it is such a relief to know she is so well looked after and cared for. We always receive lots of pictures of her on her walks and good to see her having fun with the other dogs. Couldn't recommend Dave and Mike more!
Dave's Paws offers a most friendly and reliable service. Having know Dave from his many years working at the high street pet shop, I knew he would be great when I needed a dog walker for my puppy! Lily Rose is now 2 years old and spends 3 days a week with Dave. She absolutely adores him and always comes home happy and sleepy after a good day playing in the various parks with the other doggies! I thoroughly recommend Dave's Paws to anyone looking for a professional and highly caring service for their pets. Caz & Lily Rose
Dave looks after my two cats, Charlie and Audrey, when we go away on holiday. He takes great care of them and ensures we know they are doing well and even sends videos/photos of them. I know that they are in safe hands with Dave and am happy that they are looked after by someone who really cares about them. Dave is very reliable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services.
We could not recommend Rex in the City more. Fran is such a professional and we have total comfort that our precious Cockapoo is looked after very well. Fran is really responsive and is always available if we need last minute walks. Our dog also boards with Fran some weekends/if we are away on holiday and she loves it. We are so grateful to have found Fran and so is our dog - she loves her!
Fran and her team at Rex In The City have been caring for my dachshund Fubu for 5 amazing years. He has flourished under Fran's guidance, becoming obedient and well-trained. Rex In The City has become a second home for Fubu - Fran has formed a special bond with him, and I trust them completely with his safety, even when we're on vacation. Their support and hard work are truly appreciated! Thank you, Fran and the team at Rex In The City, for your outstanding care!
Rex In the City is absolutely fantastic. We needed occasional boarding and walking for our dog when we moved into the area, and were drawn to Fran by the great reviews. They're all true! We were feeling anxious (and guilty!) about leaving our dog Cali behind while traveling. Fran put us at ease with her professional and pleasant demeanor, and also by sharing photos and videos while we're away. Cali loves her completely. We always come home to find her happy, relaxed and thoroughly exercised. Fran is highly responsive, caring and a joy to work with. We recommend her highly. Thank you Rex In the City!
Highly recommend Fran. My Cockapoo Monty sits at the top of the stairs waiting for her to arrive each day and runs out without a backwards glance. He loves the walks, the swims and the fun. Fran is super helpful and flexible. Great day care, daily walks and overnight boarding. My dog is my most precious family and my best friend. I feel completely safe when he’s having fun with Fran.
I’ve been fortunate enough to know Fran and her team for the last 4 years and she’s been looking after my Boxer Disraeli throughout that time. Her ethos is all about caring for him as if he were her own and that’s what puts Fran’s approach above all the other dog care businesses in the area. Disraeli was visibly excited every time it was ready for pick up and just wanted to tell me all about it when he returned. He even got excited when we bumped into Fran and her kids in the street. We booked walks, daycare and one overnight stay and were always 100% confident that he would have a good time. Fran was flexible when required, covering short notice bookings and switching others when work required it. If you want your dog to be cared for, rather than kept, by a team, led by Fran, with an affinity for our special canine family, then I recommend Rex in the City.
I can definitely recommend Fran and Rex in the City. Fran has a wonderful way with dogs and my miniature schnauzer (who was very nervous of walkers after a bad experience) adores her and sits waiting at the door for her to arrive. Fran has always been totally flexible and will go out of her way to accommodate Coco for the day or overnight and she always comes back happy, relaxed and exhausted (with no bad habits!). A really great service and highly recommended.
We boarded our dog, Zoey, with Fran for over a week and could not have had a better experience. We felt confident that she was being well cared for and receiving plenty of love while were away on holiday. We received several photo and video updates and are very happy with the entire experience. Zoey adores Fran and came home a tired & happy girl! We will continue to use the services Rex in the City has to offer - we highly recommend Fran!
I can highly recommend Fran and the team. They've been regularly taking out our Irish Terrier since he was a very excitable puppy (not that he's any less excitable now!). He clearly hugely enjoys going out with his friends in the pack and always comes back well worn out. It's great that in Fran and the team we have people we can trust, knowing that he'll be well looked-after on those days we can't take him out ourselves.
Rex in the City have been looking after our cocker spaniel, Humphrey, since he was a small pup. Fran provides a loving family environment for her charges and they get plenty of exercise and stimulation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rex in the City for dog walking, daycare and boarding.
I wanted a genuine service, with people who love dogs and would treat my boy like their own... that's what I got. My little Jack Russell came back fully exercised, happy and healthy. Fran and her team offered me a very Personal service which I loved and trust. Rex in the city is definitely a service to use!
Got stuck in a car accident and was 20 minutes late. Was aggressively told on arrival and I quote ‘I not staying late just to do your dog’! 10 years of loyalty down the drain from that individual. Astonishing behaviour. Ever heard of customer service or empathy!?
I had a fantastic experience at Barking Betty. My dog is not a great dog for grooming and when we went to BB the owner gave us time for me to settle him and her handling of him was first class. When I returned he was relaxed and that is exactly how I felt. He had the full groom and when I returned to him he looked AMAZING. I will definitely go back time and time again, and will recommend this place to anyone who loves their dog like I do.
Our dog Titch is very old and this was the first time he had been to Barking Betty. The cut was brilliant and much more importantly when we went to collect him, he was happy and wagging his tail. Would highly recommend this place if you want a good cut and for your dog to be happy for the few hours he is there. Definitely will be using again and will now not go anywhere else
We've been taking Poppy into Barking Betty's for the past five years and wouldn't consider taking her anywhere else. Staff are kind and friendly and listen to what you want doing. I love the way the dogs and groomers are visible from the street and my cavapoo always looks amazing when I pick her up. I suspect that any negative reviews on this site come from owners who have let their dogs fur get into a terrible state then expect miracles at the same rate.
I have been taking my cockapoo to Betty for the last 3 yrs. She is no-nonsense, efficient & very good with the dogs who are all happy and relaxed and most importantly they are all on view, nothing hidden so you know your pooch is being well cared for. She has also on occasion gone above and beyond the call of dog grooming duty. I was very impressed when I took my dog in recently, as I suspected he had a grass seed in his paw and knew the Vet would cost £80 just to look then antibiotics, and general anesthetic as in previous cases. But she kindly did a thorough search and with tweezers eventually found a grass seed that had pierced the skin & was already entering his paw. She removed it, bathed his paw and refused to take any money from me! Very and impressed! I thoroughly recommend her.
I'm very happy!!! a lovely bunch they all are! Excellent communication & understanding when it came to my dog. My dog Lexi has a condition that restricts her walking abilities & Linda and Beverly worked around the condition very well with the style I wanted. They made my Lexi & I feel very confident & comfortable & I highly recommend the business, very professional! 👍😀
We send our miniature dachshund Lola to daycare at Barking Betty’s and she loves it! Ellie always comes to pick her up on time and is very respectful. Lola is delighted to see her and they send pictures of her throughout the day to reassure us. Lola has a fitness tracker and when she is at Barking Betty’s, she always does way more than her required exercise for the day. She comes back happy and tired. Ellie always makes you aware well in advance if she can’t make a day, and will tell you straight away if she has any concerns about your dog. We can’t recommend Barking Betty enough.
I have been taking my dog to Barking Betty for nearly 6 years now. I know I could not be leaving her in safer hands - either for grooming (and they leave her gorgeous eye lashes at my request!) or for day care. What's more, it's a happy team you see working there. The fact that they do the grooming in full vision means they are confident they have nothing to hide. Full marks from me.
Beverly at Barking Betty is a dog whispering genius. The dogs at the grooming parlour and dog play school are always extremely happy and well looked after. Beverly operates a 10* service and the only time she ever speaks harshly is to dog OWNERS that neglect their dogs so the hair gets matted which makes it painful for the poor dogs to be groomed and clipped. I have never seen staff who love dogs more or take better care of them.
I don't know why Barking Betty Dog Walking and Grooming has had any lower than 5 Star reviews. My experience from start to finish was nothing but enjoyable. My young Westie doesn't like me to leave her anywhere, but upsettingly, I didn't even hear a whimper for me. Collecting her, she was completely relaxed and instead of dragging out, as she normally would, she wanted to stay and play. Now the most important part of this review: I have kept Westies for many years and I can honestly say that Barking Betty Dog Walking and Grooming gives one of the best grooms my dogs have had. At competitive prices, friendly, safe surrounding and excellent grooming, I am very pleased to recommend Barking Betty Dog Walking and Grooming to anyone
Urban Mutts is the only place I will trust my dog, whether it’s for daycare, boarding, or grooming. They are SO attentive, both to your dog but also to your own questions/concerns as the dog owner. They go above and beyond - from accommodating any specific instructions your dog needs to pupdates, to communication, and everything in between. My dog loves it so much, he starts running toward it when we knows we’re near, and I have to LITERALLY drag him out when I pick him up. The staff are all so lovely and knowledgeable, and the facilities are spacious and clean. I highly recommend Aaron for grooming - my dog is fussy and he still works his magic on him! Urban Mutts is truly a community and safe space for you and your dog 🫶🏼
I have used Urban Mutts a large number of times and my little pooch barely looks back when she is dropped off as she is eager to meet the other dogs. She has stayed at the hotel and also just been there for a few hours to allow me to get a few errands done. Everytime, my 4-legged friends loves being social and running around and is also delighted to see me when I collect her. I love receiving the pupdates and photos and everyone there just loves to be with dogs. I will continue to use them going forwards and highly recommend.
My husband and I recently moved to London from New York with our dog, Waffles, and were looking for a place she can safely stay when we are traveling. We've had bad experiences in the past with dog daycare and hotels, as so many of them are poorly run and overcrowded, especially in big cities. I'm SO glad we found Urban Mutts - the team is wonderful, caring and detail-oriented. The facilities are also well maintained, clean and welcoming for all kinds of dogs. I am happy to say we found a great place for Waffles when we can't take her with us.
This is the only boarding facility I trust for my dog, Yorky. The team is exceptionally attentive and kind, always going above and beyond to ensure he feels comfortable and well cared for. They provide daily "pupdates," giving me peace of mind about how he’s doing while I’m away. Yorky is 8 years old and, at times, can be a bit shy or irritable around younger dogs. The staff at Urban Mutts always makes sure he has a quiet space to retreat to when he needs it, allowing him to enjoy his time without stress. Knowing that Yorky is treated like family allows me to fully relax during my holidays!
Wowza what an amazing place with such lovely and dedicated staff - My 5 month old puppy Willow has stayed in the hotel a couple of times, she has had an introduction to the grooming session plus attended her first adolescent puppy training session which has all been fantastic - Every time we are there Willow gets very excited especially seeing 'Bruce' Greg's ( The owner ) lovely dog - This place has been a brilliant find for me and Willow - We highly rate and recommend 'Urban Mutts' - Thank you to everyone there - Love Carol and Willow ✨️🐶✨️
Goose absolutely loves going to urban mutts. He goes weekly for day care, has been groomed there (and actually behaves!) and has stayed there for a week. The team are all lovely and really well informed. Through their support of goose he has become a much more confident dog and is a very happy chap! We also sought their advice on food and he now actually eats all of his meals (wahoo). Couldn’t trust them more - very relieved that I’ve finally found dog care I can trust!
Urban Mutts is by far the best daycare and boarding facility I’ve found in London! The staff is amazing with the dogs, my dog is so excited to go that she doesn’t even need to say bye when we get in the doors, and I always know she’s safe and having a great time with all her friends at Urban Mutts. 10/10 would recommend!
Urban Mutts was a doggy day care that I happen to come across searching frantically to place my dog over the holidays. The staff are friendly and spent much time answering all my questions about the services they provide and the overall experience my dog would have. I appreciated how patient they were and even gave me a tour of the facilities. In the end, my dog had a great time and snoozed all night when she arrived home. Thanks again Urban Mutts!
Highly recommend Urban Mutts. We travel nearly an hour each way to get our dog groomed here as he trusts Aaron (one of their excellent groomers) so much. The staff are very caring and you can tell they take their time to look after your pet. They have a nice waiting area to relax and do work and obviously the convenience of being able to use Westfields helps. Most important I trust them completely to give the highest quality service. 5/5
Pickle has been at urban mutts since she was 4 months old, she turns 2 today. She loves being there, jumps out of the car tail wagging runs to the door and watches through the window to see who's coming. She runs into the social club and doesn't look back. She has stayed overnight and loved it. We got a second addition 2 months ago and had no hesitation in onion attending. Even in this short time they race each other to the door and with the guardian to the social club. We love our bruces pup report, which tells us who they have played with and how they have behaved. We also get advised if there is anything that could be troubling them or needs doing. Always use the grooming facilities there, Aaron and the team are amazing and love getting photos via email of the groom from the start to the finish. The staff there have twice picked up an ear infection in its early stages with pickle. The staff are very attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend urban mutts for anyone looking for care for there dogs. Greg you run an amazing service, and always enjoy the fusses with amazing Bruce, even if we get into trouble giving hom treats lol.
