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!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
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.
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
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.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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!
We tried Happy Tails and Trails for our dog Honey when she had pups. Happy Tails and Trails took Honey out for walks to give her a break from the pups but also made puppy visits for us once they were self-sufficient too. They built up Honey's walks gradually so that she wasn't away from them for too long at first and they have since (bravely!) taken on the daytime walking of the two pups we have kept too - quite a handful all in all! The level of service we get clearly displays a real affection for dogs and that is very much reciprocated by our dogs too - they really enjoy their trips out and really seem to benefit from the variety of locations used by Happy Tails and Trails. We are delighted with the care our dogs receive and have already recommended them to friends and colleagues.
Happy Tails and Trails in Chertsey are brilliant with my pup and if your looking for dog walking services then I would recommend giving them a call :-)
Great service and very reliable!
My miniature cavapoo has stayed twice now at posh dog boarding and I honestly couldn’t recommend this place more! Their communication is wonderful and constantly sending you updates. I am an anxious dog mum but posh dog boarding puts me at ease as I know my dog is safe, very well looked after and having a lot of fun.
So glad we found Posh Dog Boarding, we were so nervous after a past experience with a local Kennel. We shouldn’t have worried as the second we arrived they made us feel at ease, we had videos sent twice and Ziggy had a lovely time playing with the other dogs, he’s looking forward to coming coming back in the Summer in July for a couple of weeks. He enjoyed the journey home too 🤣
My shy little dog really enjoyed her stay! This place is so perfect for her, she really enjoyed her holiday and made lots of new friends. Posh dogs you are amazing 🏆 can’t thank you enough! …
Posh Dog Boarding has been a saving grace. The staff are professional and my dog adored being there. With his most recent stay, my dog has become more social and almost refused to come home he loved his stay so much. We got constant updates and when I mentioned it was his birthday during his stay, Posh Dog Boarding made his day special. My miniature dog always looks happy and healthy on the video updates and when we go to collect him. I would definitely recommend Posh Dog Boarding to anyone.
The first time my 10 year old fur baby was left in a kennel! Well I’m delighted to say she’s still a happy bouncy little ball of fluff! Thank you to everyone who took such great care of her including Emily who took her on walks. Everyone made sure she was warm & even out her little coat on when she went out side! Thank you & happy holidays x
We have been using Posh Dog Boarding for several years, our two dogs has always loved the staff, and are wagging their tails at every drop off, something that is very heart warming for any dog owner, especially when one of our dogs is very scared normally. The staff are always kind to share videos throughout the stay which is always so comforting. Warmly recommend!
We were anxious to find a nice place for our miniature dachshund Bailey to stay while we were on holiday. We saw Posh Dog Boarding online and loved the look of the place and the great reviews. We went over and met Carolina who was very welcoming and she gave us a tour which we loved. The place looked spotlessly clean, well run and with a nice room and area for each guest. Another thing that appealed to us is they only take a small number of dogs at one time so it’s not crowded. Carolina sent us plenty of video updates during Bailey’s stay and he always looked happy interacting with the other guests and was made a nice fuss of. We also booked 4 walks during his stay which he really enjoyed and also got video updates of those. We would really like to thank Carolina and all the staff at Posh Dog Boarding for taking such great care of our little boy and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for nice safe clean friendly boarding for their beloved furry friends.
Our one year old dog had her first 1 week holiday away from us with posh dog boarding. She was well looked after by the caring & friendly staff. We had videos of our happy doggie which was wonderful to see & know our dog was enjoying herself. We have booked her in again!! Thank you. MG
Love Posh Dog Boarding! I was visiting from the US on holiday but also spending some time in my company's London office so I needed a safe & comfortable haven for my little princess, Billie. She's not the easiest of pups - a territorial and highly-protective-of-me mini schnauzer, so I was a bit worried leaving her for 4 nights. But she flourished. I can't thank the team at Posh enough for taking such excellent care of her! And I won't hesitate to bring her back next time I'm over! Posh Dog Boarding absolutely rocks!
This is the first time we have ever left our Pug other than with a family member since we got her at 10weeks and she's 7years this year. From the moment of booking through to dropping Ebony and collecting her after her stay at Posh Dogs Rosaleen was brilliant. Rosaleen made us feel happy, comfortable and confident in leaving Ebony in her care. Updates daily were great and showed Ebony was happy and comfortable in her surroundings. We booked Ebony in for a groom and on collecting her she was happy and beautifully turned out. I highly recommend Posh Dogs and would without a doubt send Ebony there again when I need her looking after. Thank you Rosaleen and team ❤️
We have been using Karen as our dog walker for a few months now and I cannot recommend her enough. She is flexible and sends us regular updates. Most importantly, our dog loves her!
We have used Karen for over a month now to walk our dog and she has been brilliant! Super trustworthy, punctual and provides us with regular updates. Our dog absolutely adores her and comes home worn out ready for a welcomed nap. We will certainly continue to use Happy Hounds for the foreseeable future.
My dog Lulu can be a bit tricky and with my wedding coming up, my usual carers won't be available. So I turned to Home From Home Dog Boarding to start building a connection with a capable carer. We were introduced to Monika and Alessandro who turned out to be more than perfect. They have great experience with bigger and stronger dogs. Lulu had a great weekend and I didn't worry once whilst I was away for the weekend. They sent great updates and took Lulu out for day trips and were so accommodating when plans changed and I needed to pick her up later than planned. She had a great time and is already booked in for more holidays and I can know that I can focus on my wedding next year and not worry about Lulu enjoying herself as well!
We have used home from boarding twice now and both times they have been excellent. We have you two different carers for our dog Skye and both times they have been brilliant! Keeping us updated with messages and photos both times. This is a great peace of mind that your dog is safe and in great hands. Please pass on our thanks to Maddie for all her efforts on the last stay. Thanks again home from home boarding
Ive used Home from Home dog boarding for years now and can honestly say they are the best. The usual carer they went to wasn’t available so they stayed with Natalie and her husband H. Such a lovely couple, who adore dogs and have lots of experience. I got daily updates and went away knowing they’re being looked after. If anything happens to one of them there’s 24 hour support from Home from Home. Staff in the office are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended
I had a tricky challenge to sort. Having secured a hard won place on a round the world yacht race who could look after my precious pup for months? I found the answer with Home from Home. They were 110% helpful and supportive from the moment I contacted them. The person they found to look after my dog was wonderful and took the very best care of her. All watched over by the Home from Home team. Thank you all for your wonderful service. I highly recommend them.
amazing couple Pam & John looked after my anxious girl. She had such a lovely time she was unsure about coming home!! Thank you for a perfect couple who I woukd trust again.
We cannot thank Home from Home Boarding, and especially Nicola, enough for the amazing care she provided for our 7-month-old dachshund puppy, Remi! This was our first time leaving her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The company was incredibly efficient and quick to get in touch, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Knowing that Remi was in the hands of someone who genuinely cared for her and gave her undivided love and attention 24/7 was such a relief. Nicola was FANTASTIC! She made us feel so comfortable from the start and kept us updated with the most lovely ‘pupdates’ that brightened our days while we were away. It was clear how much Nicola cared for Remi, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, if anything Remi has been returned better behaved than when we left! We highly recommend Home from Home Boarding and Nicola to anyone needing a trusted and caring home from home for their furry family member. Thank you so much! 🌟🐾
First time using Home from Home Boarding for my boy. Morris was placed with a lovely couple who treated him like he was there own. This made my holiday worry free knowing he was in safe hands. Will definitely be using again . Thank you Joyce and Dave.
This is the second time Eddie and Vera have looked after Tiago and despite there being a year in between stays he was so excited to see them and return to their home. It is so reassuring for my wife and I to know that he is happy and well cared for by them and we are very grateful that he too had a wonderful holiday! Thank you Eddie and Vera! The Home From Home booking experience is straightforward and easy and we are very happy that it provided us with great carers for our dog.
Excellent, efficient and friendly service from Home from Home. The lady they found for us (Pat) is delightful. So lovely with our dogs and has a beautiful garden which they loved. Can highly recommend, thank you.
We visited the family first before committing to the booking, and that made us confident our dog would be in safe hands and well looked after. We delivered the dog with all the bedding, food, toys, meds, treats. And when we collected her after the boarding, it's clear there was an affectionate bond between the dog and the family (both ways). She was very well cared for, and I'd say she had a fantastic time. Wendy send us a few photos over WhatsApp too — lovely to see. Will be booking again next year.
We recently moved to the country and had previously had pet sitters for years, and were anxious about finding someone that we trusted to come into our home and take care of our cat, Shiloh. Andrew’s reviews encouraged us to reach out to him, and he came by to meet with us prior to using him for pet sitting. We are so glad that we did, as you can really tell that he’s an animal lover. He provided many photos and updates, and even bought a little special treat for our cat. Thank you for caring about the animals so much, Andrew, and taking such wonderful care of Shiloh!
Andrew was an absolute delight as a cat sitter! He took such great care of Fluffy while I was away, ensuring he was well-fed, happy, and entertained. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It’s clear that Andrew truly loves animals and treats them with such kindness and attention. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Fluffy and I are so grateful!
Andrew regularly looks after our cats. He adores cats and threats our cats like his own . He has enchanted our very shy cat. He is now Uncle Andrew to out cats . Can’t recommend highly enough 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 …
We've had many cat sitters in the past who just were not up to par with Andrew. We found Walton cat sitting after advertising on Facebook and Andrew received many great comments. He took the time to get to know my very anxious cat honestly I get so nervous about leaving her but Andrew reassured me every step of the way with updates and pictures on whatsapp. Highly recommend.
We found Andrew through a local Facebook community page recommendation and he has been an absolute superstar! He is so attentive to our two cats, spends time playing & interacting with them, as well as feeding & we love our daily photo updates that Andrew sends! When we return home, our cats looks genuinely disappointed it's not Andrew coming through the door! We 100% recommend Andrew if you need a local cat sitter!
Andrew is a fantastic cat sitter. He really takes the time to make sure our slightly nervous cats are well looked after while we are away. If you're in Walton, and in need of a cat sitter - look no further!
Andrew recently looked after my 2 cats, Syd and Ziggy. I can’t praise him highly enough - from the overall communication before and during his visit - and also his great attention to detail which means that he provides an exceptionally professional and caring service. I always feel nervous when I have to go away for a while when I have to leave the boys at home but I was confident that my cats were receiving 5 star treatment in Andrew’s care - he is clearly besotted by cats and is a very gentle , friendly and kind person which is reflected in the high quality of the care he provides. Highly recommended. 5 *****😻
Andrew is kind, professional and adaptable. We had to change where the cats were kept last minute and Andrew was more than happy to help. Both cats were expertly cared for and it gave us peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend him.
Absolutely first class cat sitting. We are so grateful for Andrew’s caring approach and exemplary professionalism. I would recommend without hesitation and will certainly be returning for more help. Thank you so much
Andrew is amazing with our cats, he looks after them so well. Thank you!
Lovely quiet farm based kennels, with lots of green space!
Our boys Woody and Lucky stayed here over Christmas (2019). Lovely staff, heated kennels, 3 walks a day.
Highly recommended, Beautiful setting and clean well managed kennels.
We took our gorgeous Alfie who is a boisterous golden labrador to Bluebells for a weekend back in the summer and was very pleased with the friendly staff and the location. X
Bright Days/Andy is a passionate dog walker , he takes my dog once a week and she runs out to greet him with a wagging tail and big lick , Andy makes sure she has a great walk as the dogs are well matched with other dogs on the walk. She does get muddy, but it’s worth it, because she loves it so much! I get pics/videos and the dogs have plenty of exercise in the countryside! My cockapoo always comes home tired and happy! Andy is equipped with treats, balls, and first aid to deal with any situation and he has even delivered homemade dog biscuits at Christmas which was a lovely surprise.
Andy has been walking my two dogs, 5 days a week for a couple of years now, he is very reliable and my dogs love him. I am confident my dogs are safe with Andy as well as getting a good walk at a variety of locations. I have a mud lover, Andy always hoses him down and dries him off with a towel I leave out. I would highly recommend Bright Days dog care.
Andy has a calm, caring personality and loves dogs. Our dog, who is selective in who she bonds with, absolutely adores Andy and his family.
Very good dog care my dogs love going to see andy he is with out a doubt a dog whisperer has a caring attitude to all dogs and reassures owners when you leave your pets with him would reccomend his dog day care
Lovely cattery, our cat was extremely well looked after here. Also, the owners are great, nothing is too much trouble. Would definitely use again and recommend to others. Thank you.
Left my two cats here for 16 days in December. One has to have insulin and special dietary requirements. The other has never been in a cattery before. I have boarded my previous cats here a few times now. Jens and Wendy did a fantastic job with both my cats and I will be boarding them again when I go away.
They are amazing and really look after my cat magic. They are extremely communicative and considerate. They have a real passion for the welfare of animals and they put them first. I have used them multiple times and I will continue to do so. The only shame is I can’t give them more stars because they deserve it. Thank you for everything, amazing as always and I know my cat is in the best hands possible with Appletree
First experience of taking my cats to a cattery. The staff were very lovely, even let me go see where the cats were going to be for the night to put my mind at ease and collecting the cats was easy and as soon as they came home they all fell asleep and looked happy. Will definitely use again in future.
Appletree looked after our 2 cats for some building work and they were extremely flexible with timings. In the end they had to be in for 5 weeks and they were clearly happy cats that had been well looked after and they’re now settled into our new home. Would definitely use again.
Lovely cattery 🐈 run by lovely people. Our cat was looked after really well for two weeks whilst we were away. Nice accommodation for cats and we have no hesitation in recommending Appletree. We look forward to using their services again in the future. …
I have been taking my cat's to Apple Tree Cattery for many years now and always feel happy about the kind way my cat's have been looked after here. It's good to know that whilst you are away your pets will be kept safe and sound till you return.
I have been taking my cats to Appletree Cattery for over fifteen years and have recommended them many times as my cats have always been well looked after and I have great comfort in knowing they are safe while away. They have also been very accommodating when booking at short notice!
We use this cattery every year and the staff and accomodation for cats are both very good. Cages are clean and our elderly cats who have specific dietary requirements get well looked after
Very happy with this Cattery. Our 3 cats were well looked after and will definitely use again.
My pup George has been going to Bruce’s for years. He is eager to be picked up by Lewis every morning. His carers adore him and I know he’s getting up to mischief in a safe environment. George uses all the facilities from daycare, grooming and boarding. An absolutely invaluable service.
Our dog has gone to Bruce’s for many years now. She really seems to enjoy it! Friendly staff, flexible booking system and lots of activities for the pups. Would highly recommend!
As soon as Hector sees his treats by the front door in the morning he’s waiting to see the Bruce’s bus pull up. Or rather he is waiting for Eric to knock and he can’t get out to him fast enough. Rain or shine Eric always brings the fun factor. And in the afternoons he’ll return with an update from the field and what Hector has been up to. Hector simply loves seeing him as he does Mia and his other carers . They are a great team together and I couldn’t ask for better care for Hector.
Our pup Inca has been a regular for 3 years and loves it - plenty of space, field with dogs her size and lovely staff. The carers in her field are fabulous - she adores them and my mind is at rest knowing she gets to spend all day with such a caring group. A special shout out for Inca’s driver, Eric. He’s reliable, a great driver (manoeuvres the van better than anyone else on our tricky drive) and safety conscious. Friendly and chatty, but not intrusive; we’re very comfortable to have him in our home. Inca’s rolling around on the floor “performance” every time he arrives to collect her speaks for itself at how much she loves him :) Eric goes above and beyond - checking in if she’s been unwell and doing little things to make Inca feel like the most special dog and we’re beyond grateful.
Burt and Fifi attend Bruce's - and it has made the world of difference for them. Before they used to get worried about other dogs but now, with the awesome team at Bruce's, topped by the undoubtebly awesome Pete, they are now both much happier. With the doggy bus picking them up and dropping the off, it leaves us humans able to get on with the day knowing the dogs have had a run and a hug from all the fantastic staff at Bruce's. I think it is one of the best things we have done which benefits both myself, wife and the dogs. We are all most impressed with Bruce's.
Mila joined Bruce’s when she was 4 months old. She grew up there and it’s where she learned to socialise with other dogs. The best thing about Bruce’s were their drivers. Each of them so lovely, attentive and caring. Mila would be so excited to see them and I wish I could bottle those moments for her. Big shout out to Eric who was the last driver and most amazing and kind human. Mila misses you a lot. Why 4 stars? The ending was bittersweet and I think the management team could have done much much better than they did. It was not at all the service you would expect when you pay so much for care for your fur babies. We tried not to let it impact our overall view of Mila’s time at Bruce’s as we have met some fantastic driver carers along the way. We thank Eric for making the end so much nicer for Mila. She plays with her monkey all the time and we have named him Eric ☺️.
Astra previously attended Bruce’s and her favourite part of the entire day was her bus driver Eric. Astra doesn’t take well to many people but she absolutely LOVES Eric. He always treated her as if she was his own dog and they built a very special bond, it was comforting to know that someone at Bruce’s loved Astra as much as we do. :)
Our 6 year old Labrador has been attending Bruce’s since he was 12 weeks old. He loves it, we love it. He’s collected each booked day by Cat Smith, his fabulous, doggy bus driver & dropped home safely if we’re still at work. Bruce’s has helped with his socialisation, we have had 1:1 obidience training, we get weekly photos, we get him groomed at their doggy parlour & each summer they hold a pawrents open day for us to see where he plays, snoozes & meet some of his friends (human & canine!). Bruce’s is the best!
Bruces its such a blessing in busy lives. The staff, communication and attention to detail (and fun) are real highlights. Everyone is so excited to see our driver Dominika in the morning. She has been wonderful and epitomise’s the Bruces caring culture, where everyday is a fun day.
Theres no where else we'd take our pup, he loves it. The staff are all amazing, especially Peter who picks him up in the morning and Rachel one of his field carers!! They take such care of him and clearly love him just as much as we do. Thank you all :)
