We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
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.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
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.
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!
Our Cocker Spaniel has been going here for about 6 years for 2 days a week. Great for his social life, always leaves with a bounce in his step. Staff are friendly and do an awesome job of keeping our boy ( Bodhi ) happy and secure. 😊
Phoebe has been attending 3 days a week since she was 3months old and she is now 7yrs 3mths. All the staff are trained and skilled and give 100% care to each and every dog. Every dog is loved and nurtured and give great advice to us parents when needed. This really is Phoebes favourite place to be and I know she is having so much fun!!!
Excelllent vets. Just moved into the area and have treated our rescue dog very calmly and kindly. He loves going i think the treats he gets from the vet and nurses help!
Brilliant place caring staff.dogs come first last and everything in between. The care the dogs are given is first class.loki has been going since he was 6 months old he is 5 years old know and is still excited to go
I came to have my dog groomed by the wonderful Pat who has the patience of a Saint the way my dog howls and cries! I can highly recommend Pat who does a fantastic job too.
Friendly and caring staff and well managed and structured for our furry friends
Fully knowledgeable staff. Large area for dog day care. Helpful friendly staff. Car parking available.
Great place to take your dog. Stuff are really nice and the facilities are very good.
Great place for working dog owners. Staff are great, facilities are brilliant.
Was considering joining with my dog but the staff were rude and unfriendly. Will avoid now.
We have been using Danni as a dog walker for a month or so now. She is really nice, friendly and good at her job. She has genuine affection for our dog, which is obviously important to us. She always sends a few pics or videos from the walks, which my kids love to see. It’s not just a dog walk, it’s some good socialisation for the dog to. We have no doubts trusting Danni with keys to our house or with the care of our dog and in short, I would not hesitate to recommend her should you need a dog walking service.
Danni recently looked after our dog and chaperoned him to our wedding. He was so well looked after during his 2 day stay with Danni and enjoyed every moment. If you need a dog wedding chaperone or simply need someone to leave your dog with for a few days look no further than Danni.
Immediately we knew Nala was in loving care with Danni as she is an amazing natural with all animals. We only use Danni to care for our Nala when we’re busy with the knowledge she is in capable hands. Highly recommended and would only use the best. Thanks Danni for providing a top service. 😁😁😁
Danni has looked after our dog several times over the last few months. (Yorkiepoo now 10 months) She is reliable, flexible and reasonably priced. Danni is a lovely person, really cares for the animals she looks after and is very knowledgeable. She has been brilliant with us (first time owners) giving advice, reassurance and understanding. I highly recommend Danni.
Danni has been walking my German Shepherd and Labrador for a while now. She has proven herself to be reliable and trustworthy. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her services.
Danni is fantastic! She has looked after our two Whippets a couple of times now and most recently had them for two weeks. We received regular updates, photos and videos of the dogs in the house and out walking and playing with other dogs. It is so comforting to know that we have found somebody who we can trust and cares for them both as if they were her own dogs! If we could give more than five stars we would!! Thank you Danni!!
Barry loves his walks with Danni, especially his adventure walks. 🐾 …
A very friendly and helpful service. Danni is always happy to follow instructions and keeps me updated via text. I love receiving photos and videos of the fun walks Skye goes on with her doggy pals. Doggy daycare has been really convenient for us also on the odd day we go out as a family and can’t take Skye with us! I would recommend Danni Dolittle pet services for sure!! 🐾
Danni was fantastic. We found ourselves without a dog sitter for our Goldador and sheepdoodle two days before our weekend away. Danni was responsive to my messages and set aside time for us to come and meet her less than 24 hours later. The dogs LOVED her and we felt so safe after having had a chat with her in her home. Throughout the visit we got videos and photos of the dogs living their best lives. I absolutely recommend you to trust her with your dog(s), i will trust her again with mine.
Danni has minded our 2 dogs several times. She is absolutely amazing, the dogs run into the house with tails wagging. They definitely feel that they are on holiday. Danni always sends photos and texts to say how the dogs are getting on. I can't recommend her enough, she really is great. You have peace of mind because you the dogs are happy and well cared for. Thank you Danni
Used these kennels a couple of times now. First time they were great and managed to get my beagle in at short notice. The second time was over the summer holidays. Both my dogs seemed to have got on great there. Came home tired but happy. No issues at all now we have found a great kennel we will definitely use when needed. We have just used the kennels again and both dogs were excited when we got there and tired but happy to come home very nice kennels
Fantastic lovely caring people. My dogs are very eager to go in soon as we arrive. I would not use anyone else
We went on a 5 day break and left our two 9 year dachshunds with Dixans Boarding Kennels leaving them for the first time. We were reassured by the owners Tony and Debbie they would be fine and explained how they would be cared for. The service was very efficient and is a licensed company checked by the local authority which was important. Our dogs were fine when we returned no problems and we are grateful to the owners for making it a good experience for the dogs and ourselves.
Its alway hard to tell as dogs dont talk, but they are always happy and excited to see Debs and follow her in and are always happy when they come out. They are generally tired when they get home and are as healthy looking as always. Mine go there regularly and I have no reason to go anywhere else. Happy customer, happy dogs.
We used Dixans for the first time in July 2022. It was the first time we had ever left our mini dachshund while we went on holiday and understandably I was really anxious. Right from the moment we turned up we were made to feel welcome, the owners really knew their stuff, they were so laid back and really made us feel at ease. We recieved a video while we were away that put my mind at rest. The owners work so hard to look after the dogs and the they live on site so the dogs are never alone. My dog came back exhausted after having a lovely week away and I could tell she had been loved and looked after. They are really nice people and I'd definitely recommend them to friends, and we will most definitely be using them again!
I've been using Dixans for the last 1.5yrs (short and long stays) for my Malshi Bailey. Tony and Debbie are great! Bailey has always been well looked after and always very excited to see them. I would 100% recommend.
I have been taking my dog to Dixans for over 5 years now and can't say a bad word about the place. My dog is always excited to visit especially to see Debbie. I have peace of mind and can relax knowing my dog is well cared for. Every time i have arrived to drop off or pick up my dog i have been warmly greeted by either Tony or Debbie who always ask how I'm doing and are just generally lovely people. Any advice i have needed about my dog they have taken the time to help me even in their own time when the kennels are closed. Can't recommend them enough. They run this place all on their own, no staff which i think says a lot. :-) Stacey
We've been coming to Dixans Boarding for seven years now and I know my cat Muggle is in safe hands! I can't recommend their service enough and I always enjoy a chat with Debbie and Tony when I do drop off or pick up! On one occasion, we were stranded in their drive-way and they couldn't have been more kind and helpful to my family, for which I'll always be grateful.
We have used Dixans for the last 10 or so years for holidays, day care and grooming, after they were recommended to us. Debbie and Tony are excellent; our dog is always excited to see them and I know they always look forward to seeing him. We have complete peace of mind when he’s there knowing that he’s being looked after in a safe caring environment. Thank you Debbie and Tony for everything you do and caring about our little boy as much as we do. Would thoroughly recommend.
I’ve been using Dixans for doggy day care for 5 years and my dog loves it, so much so that he pulls ahead of me to get in every morning, Tony and Debbie have always taken great care of him and have been great help and support when he has been ill. He also gets groomed there and we’re very pleased with how he is done. Highly recommended
We’ve used Rebecca’s dog walking service for almost three years. She’s currently taking Milly for one hour walks on five days each week.We’ve never had any cause to regret choosing Rebecca. She is absolutely committed to providing a first class service whatever the weather and always reports back on how a walk has gone. She has great rapport with Milly who greets her with obvious affection and is always super keen to start her walks. We cannot recommend Rebecca too highly. Roger and Vivienne.
Rebecca was an amazing cat sitter for our two cats. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our cats, who can be shy around new people, warmed up to her right away, which says a lot about her gentle and caring nature. Thank you!
I have had Rebecca care for my animals several times now and always have complete peace of mind when I am away, knowing that they are well looked after. She often sends pictures and videos of them too which is a nice touch. I would highly recommend her.
Rebecca offers an incredible service- she is friendly and professional and most importantly, my boy Thompson loves his time with her.
Rebecca is just brilliant. Mylo adores her and she takes a great deal of time and care to ensure everyone she looks after is happy. Highly recommend!!
Rebecca is an absolute superstar - she's looked after our cat Max for the past couple of years and we trust her impeccably. She sends videos and photos so we know he's happy, plays with him and generally goes above and beyond - sweeping up litter off the stairs, collecting the post, putting the bins back and opening / closing the blinds. We feel confident that our house and our cat are happy and secure when we're away and the peace of mind that brings us is priceless. We'd 100% recommend Rebecca to anyone! And Max loves her too!
We needed a Cat Sitter to look after our beautiful boy at short notice over the Christmas period. Having never used a Cat Sitter in Peterborough before we instinctively looked online at local cat sitting services. We stumbled across PE4 pawsitting. it was the impressive reviews of Rebecca and her service, which made us go with Rebecca in the end. Our experience was true to the excellent reviews online for PE4 pawsitting. Rebecca was reliable, trustworthy, timely and informative and over the course of the time we were away, we received lots of lovely updates and videos from Rebecca to let us know I’ll beautiful boy was doing okay. I can’t recommend Rebecca enough and we will definitely be using her again. Next time. We need someone to take care of our boy. Thank you, Rebecca 🙏🏾
We couldn’t be more thankful for finding Rebecca, she is amazing with our two dogs who completely adore her. She has had our dogs overnight a few times now and we have always felt extremely comfortable and confident our home and dogs are in the best hands. We truly couldn’t recommend Rebecca’s services enough! Thank you Rebecca
Rebecca is an excellent pet sitter and we have used her house sitting services numerous times this year. We know that all our pets are cared for in an impeccable manner, and that the house is being looked after also in our absence. We cannot recommend her more
Our cat Archie does very badly in kennels but Rebecca has been the perfect answer. She plays with him and he's always happy when we get back. She sends us regular video updates and communication is very fast and awesome!
Amy is reliable and experienced with a true love of animals. Charges a fair price for her services and I have no hesitation in recommending her.
Brilliant kennels. Friendly staff, great service. They took such great care of my German Shepherd. You can not ask for any more, above and beyond they do go. Prices are very reasonable. But book in advance as they can get busy, and that is understandable with the class of service. Treat your pet with a home away from home. 5 Stars
Professional, experienced staff and clean, friendly environment. Absolutely THE BEST place to leave your pet if you need to. Azure is always happy both before and after his stay so I’m totally confident he’s being well taken care of.
Brilliant kennels, been many times. My lulu loved staying here, amazing staff, great accommodation. Best kennels I've ever used. Thank you xx
Being the first time of using Kennels I was worried about leaving my baby, however I did not need to worry at all leaving him in the care of Amblewood Kennels. The staff were really friendly, showed me round first, answering all my questions. The play area is lovely, and my Barney probably got walked more there than he does at home ❤. They asked of any dietary requirements and had an alternative food available as hes allergic to chicken. Barney is always happy to go back, I always tell him hes going on his holidays and I dont have any guilt leaving him there!
My Cockapoo Frank came back very happy after staying one week in Amblewood kennel! He definitely ate well and came back heavier than he was before)))) Stuff was very responsive and sent me photos of my boy while he was in the kennel. Before I picked him up he was brushed and washed as wether was rainy and I suppose he run in the muddy puddles) I am very satisfied with Amblewood and I trust this place!
my daughters dog came back so anxious after his stay here. it has been two weeks and he is still so skittish 😡 god knows whats going on here!!!!!! staff are SO rude as told by my friends, i warned my daughter not to take her dog here!!! i would give 0 stars if u could!!! …
Friendly staff, great facilities and the most important part, my dog loves going there!
My dog was boarded at these kennels for several weeks. She was so well looked after and I could tell by her photos on Facebook that she looked happy and content. Prior to going home she had a wash and groom and I have never seen her looking so good. I'm grateful to the wonderful, caring team at Amblewood
My dog has been to Amblewood many times in the last 5 years and I wanted to say a big thank you to all the staff who has been there! There has been unforeseen circumstances that they have handled very professionally, with flexibility and kindness. I highly recommend Amblewood! Also, a big thank you to Hilary and Elliott for going the extra mile making sure the dogs are well.
I needed to board my dog for 4 weeks at short notice and found Amblewood Kennels online. My dog came back happy and healthy and was clearly well looked after throughout his stay. They walk the dogs multiple times a day and have 1 on 1 playtime with them. During his time the Kennels gave regular updates via facebook, including videos and photos of my dog having fun. It's clear that the staff love the dogs. Sophie in particular was lovely and assured me that Winston was happy and settled in as I was a little nervous leaving him for so long. I would definitely recommend. Thank you for looking after Winston!
Our Nigel loves Bee’s Knees and Karina, we get sent lots of photos of all the fun he has and my mind is at ease when he's there, knowing it's a home from home and being taken care of whilst I'm at work. I can't recommend bee's Knees enough 🩵 Thank you 🙏 …
This Pet Care business is more than just a business. The owner, Karina, has a magic with dogs, she loves them and they know it. Our Brussels Griffon has been visiting weekly and also has stayed overnight. Her routine is noted and all is done to make her comfortable. She loves going and never looks back when we leave her. Karina sends us photos during her stay which can be reassuring when first you leave your pet. We are lucky to have such a service locally.
Every time Loki attends The Bees Knees pet care I can see has had an amazing day! He is exhausted from playing with new friends, from walking and paddling and even some behavioural training! Karina sends me gorgeous photos of his escapades throughout the day, which are so lovely to see. I feel fully confident that Loki is in a safe, fun and loving environment when I leave him. Would very much recommend ❤️
Our puppy loves going to Bee’s Knees. She adores Karina and is always delighted to see her. It’s a real home from home, all the dogs are showered with love and have the best time. We’re so pleased to have found such a wonderful place to look after our girl, couldn’t recommend enough.
Bertie is so happy being with Karina and cannot wait to get to hers. I call her his second Mum and the service she provides is amazing. I know he has a wonderful time as she updates me every time he is there with pictures and I know he is in safe hands. Her knowledge and skills along with her professionalism are incredible. XXX
I would fully recommend Karina and the professional and fun business she runs . My dog has been going to Karina for nearly a year and he absolutely loves his time with Karina. I only have to say her name and he goes mad with excitement. As well as the enjoyment my dog gets from going to Karina he loves all of the dog walks with the other dogs. Karina has helped me massively with his walking on the lead, recall and interaction with other dogs which were initially a problem for me. I would absolutely recommend Karina to anybody
This is a home from home for your fur babies. My Cockapoo is a lockdown pup and like Velcro but he absolutely loves going to The Bees Knees and adores Karina. He has lots of fun play time and lovely long walks with his new pals that are there when he goes and he doesn’t even look back at me when I leave him. Also if the need arose I would not hesitate to book him in to board because I know I would not have to worry about him.. There are also lots of lovely videos and photos of what a good time he is having.
The Bee’s Knees really is the bee’s knees or the dogs bits! We trust Karina and co implicitly and never worry about leaving our pup with her when we go away. We searched for a while for the right type of care for when we needed it for our pup and wanted to take the time to find exactly the right person. I can whole heartedly say we have found that with the Bee’s Knees and would highly recommend them! We know he gets the best care and most of all he really enjoys it. He always gets lots of exercise, socialisation, training and cuddles. We feel that he is looked after like their own dog. We get regular updates with photos during the day which is lovely as we can see how much fun he’s having! If you are looking for someone to look after your best furry pal, look no further!
Karina is very organised and clear, and absolutely amazing with the dogs. My dog went to stay for a week and clearly had the best time ever. Excellent to not have to worry about the dog at all when away! Thanks Karina!
Incredible care for our most precious pet dog - Rocco. Genuine care, affection, training and oodles of play with plenty of varied walks.
