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

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!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
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!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
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!
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!
5* and more. Cannot recommend Emma and family enough to look after your dogs. Our boy has stayed a couple of times, the most recent being a 15 night stay. He was so loved and looked after during his stay there, I felt completely comfortable being abroad knowing he was being so well looked after. I loved the photo updates from Emma, and when I got home I could see just how much my boy loved Emma, her husband and children. Will not hesitate to leave him there again when we go away. The best place. Thank you Emma and Family xx
I couldn’t have asked for a more caring or kind person to look after our elderly dog woody. Emma made us feel at ease straight away and won our dog over with a piece of chicken on arrival! Emma made sure to update us throughout the day and sent photos of him resting and playing. The best sign was that he was sad when she left!
Emma is the perfect dog-walker and carer; she is so kind, knowledgeable and very professional. I booked her to look after our 3 spaniels for 14 hours on my daughter’s wedding day. She also came along to meet them the day before. Emma was lovely with them and took great care to reassure them during all the wedding chaos as they were unsettled by being in a strange place with lots of noise. One of my dogs was unwell on the day and Emma dealt with her so well. I was very grateful she was there, as were the dogs who really liked her! Emma put in a very long day for us and took the worry away on what was a very special day for our family. I can highly recommend Emma and will definitely be asking her to look after my dogs again. She’s a treasure!
Teddy adores Emma as she is such fun and he loves his walks. As a Cockerpoos he can be full on but Emma gets him to behave correctly. Always reliable and fully knowledgeable about animals. She has also cared for a friends cats. Teddy also enjoys overnight stays. Cannot praise her enough. Lovely lady, great service.
So trustworthy and flexible. We had never used a dog sitter/walker before but Emma took all our worries away. She has looked after our small terrier and retriever pup so well when we are at work and provides us with regular updates. Emma is really professional but also relaxed and friendly - someone you can happily have in your home and helps you feel really at ease with leaving your pets. We can’t recommend Dartmouth Canine Care enough!
Even though Emma advertises dog care, and we have a cat, we enlisted her twice this year to come visit our cat at our home every day when we were away. Each trip was 2 weeks long, and Emma fed her and gave her plenty of fuss and attention (when Miss Cat made an appearance...). Emma also kept houseplants from dying and post from piling up. She was totally reliable, irrespective of crazy Devon traffic due to road closures, or dreadful weather. Based on our girl's reaction, Emma is as good with cats as with dogs. We came home each time to a very contented kitty. We have total confidence in Emma and her care for our cat and our home. So pleased we found her! Thank you Emma!
Let me start by saying that I am extremely particular when I choose someone to look after my dogs. They have to be perfect. I have interviewed many people who haven’t made the grade. This may sound harsh, but because I’m asking someone to look after my dogs, who can’t speak and tell me what’s happening, because I have five large/working breed dogs, this has to be someone I feel has enough presence, capability and confidence to manage them. I have to really trust this person. From the second I met Emma, and not only my happy, waggy labs and retriever were pleased to meet her, but my neurotic “gah! New people!” spaniel also wanted to get involved, I just knew. I was leaving my dogs with Emma whilst we were all on holiday, so I had to have extra confidence in her as I wasn’t near my vet etc. I didn’t doubt her for one minute. Emma is lovely! She’s kind, caring, flexible, punctual, calm, understanding, professional and just all in all lovely! (She also takes great pictures of your pooches!) My daughter met Emma the second time she looked after the boys for us and she said “I know exactly why you trust Emma, she’s got that good person vibe. I know why you trusted her with the dogs straight away.” And that’s it really. Emma is brilliant. If you’re looking for someone to look after your dogs in The South Hams, then may I recommend Emma? Because you really won’t find anyone better.
Emma was great in all areas. I would never hesitate to call her again when in Dartmouth. Great with us. Listened kindly to specifics. Rupert took to her immediately. Absolutely first class. Thankyou.
Emma looked after Bear for us when we needed to be out for day but couldn’t take him with us. He is very particular about who he likes and dislikes but took to her immediately and didn’t miss us at all. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
Emma is really friendly, completely trustworthy and reliable. She goes out of her way to be accommodating and always gives me an update and photos of playtime and walks. My greyhound Freddie absolutely adores her!
Brilliant! Thank you Julia and Mike. We needed a cat sitter at short notice and Julia responded quickly, and on a Sunday! They visited to discuss our cat’s needs and took careful notes. Our cat has serious medical issues but this was not a problem. They just took it in their stride. They took great care of our old boy and everything was fine. Lovely people. Would definitely recommend! 😸
Delighted with the service provided by Paws Pals. After an initial meeting, where we had the opportunity to discuss our pet’s needs, the service was very easy to use. We’ve used them on four occasions so far and Julia and Mike are absolutely reliable and we can see that our cat has been well cared for. We will continue to use this business for her.
My two cats are regularly looked after by Julia. They love her and she provides great reassuring care when I am away from home. I've being using Julia for a number of years and know that I can call on her even last minute with work trips. She is trustworthy, reliable and caring and I would not hesitate to recommend her to any pet owners in SE London.
My parents have used Paws Pals for several years now. Whenever they go away, they always call on Julia to look after their pets. They have always been very happy with the service they have received. The pets seem to be really happy with the service too! I would recommend Julia and Paws Pals to anyone that needs their pets looking after while they are away. Julia provides a really professional service and is most accommodating.
Julia has been very reliable and accommodating looking after our two cats for the last couple of years. We've trusted her completely and never had any difficulties! Book early for holiday periods though as she's very busy!
We would highly recommend Paws Pals for anyone looking for a completely reliable and trustworthy team of pet sitters who care deeply for the animals in their care. Having moved to SE London just before Christmas, we were delighted to have found such a fantastic company who give us such peace of mind when we're away, knowng that we have left our little cat in good hands. Julia also managed somehow to squeeze us in over Christmas with hardly any notice, and gave us some really useful advice when our cat wasn't on top form, so we would highly recommend the company.
Julia looked after our cat Phoenix when we went away on one of our many holidays. It was great that we had the piece of mind that he was safe in his own home and couldn't speak highly enough of the service provided. Just to see Phoenix relaxed when we returned was all the value we needed. Julia is prompt reponding to any e-mails and would not use anyone else if we were still back in the UK. I would very much recommend Paws Pals to anyone.
We first contacted Paws Pals 5 years ago when my wife and I were both travelling extensively. At the time we needed a cat sitter for two cats for 6 weeks. Since then we have used them frequently for long and short periods of time. Over the years we have had many difficult requests, for example we adopted a stray tom cat 2 years ago that had to be kept apart from the other cats for a month and during that time we had to be away for a couple of weeks. Julia, who owns Paws Pals, did not mind in the slightest and got on with everything without any issues. We now have 3 cats who all need feeding different food, at different places and one of them is an indoor cat who requires a litter tray. I have to say Julia has been amazing over the years and we owe her so much. She is super responsive, efficient and flexible and we trust her completely. The cats never seem to miss us when we get back.
We've used Julia to feed our two cats for three years and have been very happy customers. We always come back to a clean and tidy kitchen and happy cats, and Julia is always very responsive to emails, both before and during the cat-sitting.
I met Ollie and Emma (Paws Pals) as my lovely friendly neighbours, and was delighted to have them looking after my two cats for the past few years while I've been on holiday. They not only provide an excellent and reassuring service for the humans, but very obviously love getting to know new cats. It is evident that they genuinely care for them. They get extra points for not balking at the sight of my fiddly water dispenser!
Absolutely brilliant service. Such a relief to have found someone who I can trust to look after my elderly cat when we are away. Emma & Archie were happy to give Tinker his twice daily medication and I felt confident that he was in good hands.
My favourite pet sitters by far! I was a bit apprehensive of leaving my cat alone for a week due to her separation anxiety and general nervousness but Elle and Archie put my mind totally at ease. They sent me lots of updates, took the time to get to know my cat and give her lots of attention and cuddles. By the time I got back from my trip my cat wasn't even fussed about me being gone! Will definitely be booking with Furever Friends for any future trips!
I would highly recommend Furever Friends. An excellent service. Communication is great. My cats were tended too as hoped while away for a weekend. Respected our property. Great value for money knowing our loved pets were taken care of."
My two cats are regularly looked after by Elle, who is absolutely brilliant. She understands my cats needs and I can always rely on the best possible service. I enjoyed my holiday knowing that my pets are all looked after. Thank you Furever Friends Pet Sitting!
I needed a cat sitter at short notice, Furever Friends Pet Sitting replied to me within the hour. Elle took down all the details and asked several questions which was great. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my cat in Elle’s hands while I was going away for a week and when I came back my cat was happy and well fed. I’ll be using them again. Thank you!
Elle is a godsend! Contacted her super last minute after I had to go away urgently and had to find care for my two elderly cats. She was confident and even managed to get my oldest boys medicine down him (which I struggle to sometimes) Will only be using furever friends from now on and highly recommend to everyone!!
Elle is an amazing pet sitter and would highly recommend! She provided regular updates while we were away and lots of pictures/videos of her playing with our cat smoky. Overall we were very happy with Elle’s pet sitting service. Thanks again!
Super happy with Furever Friends! They took care of my elderly cat with compassion and got her meds down easily. Really recommend if you are looking for friendly, responsible and kind pet sitters
I am so happy to have found Furever Friends and now I know that I have someone who I can trust at short notice to be there for my fur babies. Cannot recommend highly enough for care, reliability and professionalism. One in a million!
A lovely family run business that took great care of my cats while I've been away. Felt at ease leaving them with Elle - reliable and caring! Highly recommend - will be using again!
Taras has been boarding at Byrer Down for many years. This is a home from home for him. He's a 10 year old Samoyed and he always comes back to me Happy, clean and well. Great find. I recommend it to others. Good people who love animals 🐶💜 …
Been using Byter down kennels for a few years. Can honestly say I wouldn't be happier leaving our dog Hugo anywhere else. Patrick and his wife are always so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They care for the dogs with so much love and respect. Our dog, as happy as he is to come home never looks unkept or unhappy. Would definitely recommend Byter down. Thank you for everything.
My two dogs had a lovely week and where very happy and well cared for. Such a nice feeling when your away knowing they are being cared for . Thank you so much
Patrick and Clare have taken really good care of our dog Pip. I got to see where she was staying, good, clean and secure area with walking pens. She looks great on collection. Just want to say a big thank you and we will be undoubtedly booking with you again in the future.
So nice to see all the good reviews of Byter Downe, and each of them well deserved. We have used the Cooper’s for years and my wife’s father before us. Patrick and Clare have taken great care of each of our dogs and everyone of them always were happy to see them and the kennels. Can’t give them higher praise, well done to you all.
Very friendly, accommodating and well priced. They remember my dogs name and his character. It feels like leaving him with friends, when we drop him off he's keen to go and when we pick him up he's less keen to come home.
Our two dogs have been to Byter Down over the past few years and they always go there excited and looking well and happy on collection. We have a Vizsla and she is prone to dropping weight but never does during her stay here. Even after two weeks. Highly recommend ⭐️
After viewing kennels we booked our Border Collie Meg in and after picking her up today after just over 2 weeks stay we were very happy to see her fit and healthy and obviously well cared for. Will definitely book again if we need to. Thanks for looking after her
I have complete trust in Patrick and Clare. They run the kennels in a friendly and very professional manner. The dogs are always happy, never bored and very well cared for. Super kennels, always clean, great atmosphere and always time to chat! I thoroughly recommend Byter Down Kennels for any type of dog.
We have used Byter Down for years now. Pat and his team are very helpful and friendly, true animal people who our dog goes to and trusts. In my opinion this is such a good sign because animals know where sometimes we don't. I totally trust Pat and his team to take excellent care of our beloved pet and we will continue to choose Byter Down for our dog care needs.
Gemma is fantastic! She takes excellent care of my cats, is patient and kind, and always updates me promptly. Highly recommended!
Gemma is an absolute god send when it comes to our boy Oscar! Oscar has been walking with Gemma for just under a year and I have found her reliable, professional and a real dog lover. Oscar has previously been some what challenging for other walkers but Gemma has reassured me that by working together we get the consistency and commitment that Oscar needs. When I get home Oscar is clearly well exercised and enjoying his nap after his walks. Communication is great and Gemma is very accommodating if we need to change days around due to work commitments. High recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can’t speak highly enough of Gemma. If I were more organised, I would have written a review months ago. My dog adores her and she’s professional, loving and cares for all dogs as if they were her own. I trust Gemma implicitly and feel such relief that my beloved retriever is having such fun when I can’t walk her. It’s brilliant for socialising too. A pup’s play date! Thank you for everything Gemma!
Its lovely to know that while I'm at work our dog Arlo is out having the time of his life with Gemma. Gemma is extremely reliable, trustworthy and fantastic value for money as Arlo gets an adventure everyday! The thing thats strikes me most about Gemma is how much she genuinely cares for him and all of her dogs and clients. I could not recommend her highly enough.
My dog loves Gemma so much, she squeals with delight when Gemma collects her. Gemma is also lovely, reliable and I feel very happy to leave my dog in her care.
Gemma loves the dogs she walks like her own family. I only have to mention her name and my dog is racing to the window to look for her. Her professionalism, patience and love of dogs is why I can feel safe whenever my dog is with her and I am able to highly recommend her.
So pleased to have found Gemma for my pup Smartie. She came and did a house visit to meet Smartie and chat to me. She then started taking smartie out with other dogs from a young pup and he has just come on leaps and bounds. Well socialised and very responsive to recall. He comes back having had just the best time. When he sees Gemma through the door he cannot get to her fast enough, he just adores her. Gemma is reliable and takes the upmost care of her charges I highly recommend her services.
Gemma is fabulous! Her passion for dogs was very apparent on her 1st meeting my young goldendoodle. They go on a wide variety of walks and I love it when i get photos of their expeditions. When I’m on a long day at work it’s great knowing my dog is having a fun time.Thank you Gemma!
Gemma is great with our 5 month old Bertie. She looks after him with so much care and love. Bertie has a great time every day with Wildwood walkies. Would thoroughly recommend Gemma for dog walks.
Gemma is amazing in every way. Mika our puppy has been walked by her from 3months and loves her time with her. We would not use anyone else.
I had to leave my darling little Teddy for the first time ever with Jo as a dog sitter and I have to say initially I was so apprehensive as he has always been looked after at home. I could not have been more happy and cannot thank Jo enough. Teddy had the time of his life, made amazing fur friends, was taken on lovely walks and even developed some new passions that I never knew he had! Jo sent loads of videos and texts whenever I asked how he was and I truly cannot be more happier. Ted came back with a spring in his step , totally relaxed and contented to the extent I worry he is bored now he is home! To see him snuggled in with her dogs and having such a good time made my holiday go so much more smoother knowing he was in capable, loving and superb hands. Thank you Jo x I will not hesitate to have him there again xx Can totally recommend your fur baby staying with Jo, you really will have no worries at all 🥰
I have met Jo on several occasions when she has brought her client’s dogs to me for grooming. Jo always goes above and beyond with dogs in her care, she has a very caring nature and has rescue dogs herself, she understands dogs needs and behavioural patterns. I would highly recommend Jo to anyone looking for someone to care for and exercise their fury friend.
Jo is a fantastic caring person who has a vast canine knowledge and our 2 dogs are always excited to see her which says it all. Would highly recommend and is much nicer than putting your dog into a kennel especially if they are rescue dogs, which she has a lot of knowledge about.
Jo was so friendly and welcoming, would use her services in future
Very difficult to get a place because they are so good, your dog is treated the same as you would, very special.would certainly recommend,
Sonya has been great with Tilley who is a rescue dog inclined to be wary of new people and knows her own mind - so it was reassuring to see them get along so well at their first meeting! Tilley has now been joining group walks for a few months and has really come on well - she's much more settled in the car, zooms and plays with the other dogs and her recall is getting much better ( although it can still be abit hit and miss so not giving up the long line just yet! ) She always comes home happy, tired and often wet since she can't resist a muddy puddle or river paddle - Sonya often sends a short video of the walk and it's great to see all the antics! Thanks Sonya!
We’re new to Devon, recently relocating from Derby and in the process of doing this, leaving our fantastic dog walker behind!! This was probably one of the hardest things to do and since then, finding a replacement in our new area that meets our needs, has been a challenge and not as easy as I thought it would be. But then I found Sonya who owns Paws and Hoofs on the Moors, she came and met me and the dogs in our own home, talked about what we were looking for and what she could offer, and generally made me feel very confident that she would be a good fit for our dogs and would make it her priority to get to know them, understand them and take care of them as if they were her own……all very important things to us, when trusting someone else to walk our dogs for us whilst we’re out at work. And she is already proving to be a good choice and is just the perfect match for us and although it’s early days, so far the pooches look like they are enjoying their walks and Sonya reports back each time, to reassure me and let me know how they’ve got on during their walk. So pleased to have met Sonya and hope our new routine continues to work well for the pooches and she enjoys walking with them. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a dog walker and can’t fault the service so far!!
We met Sonya & Bosco a few months ago after looking for a dog sitter for our dog Max for quite some time. Max instantly took to Sonya, which made us happy! Sonya is great with him and I feel very confident that if we leave Max he is in safe hands with Sonya - I would highly recommend 🙂 …
We met Sonya and Bosco a short while ago, and after a few meet ups and field walks, started to have her help us with our unsociable dog. We have utilised her both for non group walks and house sitting, which we have been extremely pleased with. On walks, our girl comes back happy and tired which is great, but most importantly when Sonya and Bosco house sat, we came back to a clean home and happy girl. Despite the awful weather Sonya had managed to keep the house clean, wash the used towels and even hoover up before we got back. Thank you Sonya and Bosco, highly recommended
My 2 dogs enjoyed their first walk with Sonya. There was torrential rain during the walk and my mutts came back soaked - but happy!! Sure they'll be as keen for the next walk.
My two labs had a lovely walk today with Sonya, they were tired and happy on their return. thank you for the photos and they look forward to next week
Sonya was a great help taking Maisie for walks when my knee was painful. She obviously liked Sonya and always came back happy.
"We had a fantastic experience with Sonya! With one dog and two cats, we were initially worried about finding the right person to care for our pets while we were away. However, Sonya exceeded our expectations with her attentive and compassionate service. Our pets were well-cared for, and we were kept updated with pictures and texts. We're more than satisfied with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter."
Sonya is very knowledgeable and took great care of my spaniel on her first walk, she sent me video updates so I could see her enjoying her walk
Sonya is friendly, approachable, flexible and knowledgeable. My Red Prince loves long walks with her! Highly recommended.
Mr Bob my 8 month old Labrador goes to Oh My Dog every week when I’m working. Juliet and Eugene have created an amazing facility for the dogs where they play and socialise. Juliet has helped me so much with advice along the way with Bob. I love the photos and videos I get sent of him during the day. He loves Jules he can’t wait to get in her van when he sees her 🖤🐾 I would highly recommend their business for your dog. I totally trust Bob in their care 💯
My 2 young rescues absolutely love it here! Juliet and Eugene obviously genuinely care for all the dogs and know them really well. I always feel like I'm leaving them in safe hands. They come back exhausted from adventures in the woods and playing on the equipment which is great! Highly recommended.
My puppy Teddy went to Oh My Dog for daycare while we were camping near by. Juliet was kind, accommodating and supportive throughout and Teddy had a lovely time. I highly recommend oh my dog, especially for those who aren't a fan of putting their pups in kennels!
Highly recommended Oh My Dog. Juliet and Eugene are lovely people who definitely care about the health and overall wellbeing of your dog when under their care. They have been very accommodating with our Great Dane who has been going now for several months and thoroughly enjoys it, and we are content knowing that she is well looked after. Juliet and Eugene provide updates, videos and photos during the day and are upfront and honest if any issues arise. Happy dog and owners 😊.
Juliet and Eugene have created something truly special with Oh My Dog. We have a sweet and very nervous rescue, plus we are first-time dog owners with our own confidence issues, none of which were judged or dismissed by these wonderful kind folk. Juliet made me and our girl Alice feel safe and welcome immediately, and went above and beyond to help us acclimate. We visited multiple times, increasing her time in the facility with each session based on observing her behaviour and body language. I learnt so much! While it is still unclear if Alice will ever be fully joyful to enter a roomful of dogs, her confidence and ours have been positively impacted by this kind of safe socialisation in ways that have changed our lives. Our trust in each other has grown, our bond is stronger and this has opened so many doors for her quality of life to increase. Thanks to her 'exposure therapy' with Juliet and all the other gorgeous pups at Oh My Dog, Alice has now made multiple new dog friends locally, and is enjoying off-lead time at a dog-friendly beach. I don't think these things could have happened without Oh My Dog, and Juliet and Eugene's wisdom, generosity and kindness.
We are so fortunate to have found Juliet and Eugene at Oh My Dog, they are the most kind, caring, gentle and lovely humans and have an amazing passion for dogs which was apparent from the moment we met them. Our whippet has been spending one day a week with them for over a year and is always very happy to go in when we drop him off. He has such a good time enjoying lots of play, socialisation, an afternoon snooze and enjoys lovely woodland walks each day where he can let off some steam with zoomies. Juliet and Eugene are so knowledgable about dogs and their behaviour and personalities and we completely trust them with our dog who means the world to us! They send us pictures and video updates which always brightens a day at work. Thank you J&E for the excellent, professional service you provide :-)
Juliet and Eugene are absolute superstars - we are so lucky to have met them. They are lifesavers and we feel so relieved to know that our dog is having the best care during the day! They have great knowledge and understanding with our dog, as well as how all the pack interact. They work hard to find amazing walks and our dog always seems relaxed/ exhausted at the end of the day! I couldn't be more grateful and wholeheartedly recommend them! Thank you!
Luna absolutely loves coming to Oh My Dog - her excitement is palpable as we draw near. She would definitely go every day if she could. Juliet and Eugene create a kind and fun atmosphere. You can tell that they really understand and love dogs🐶🐶🐶 …
Absolutely cracking service, friendly staff and a great environment for the dogs; our little sprocker spaniel Tilly had a fab day here playing with the other dogs and the staff. She was worn out! We received lots of updates and videos which helped settle our minds whilst our pup was “in nursery” lol thank you so much for fitting us in!
We can't recommend "Oh my Dog" enough. We were looking for a place where we could drop our dog off whilst we explored the area looking for our new house. We took our little Jack Russell to see Juliet and Eugene initially for half a day to see how she would get on. She had a great time interacting all the other dogs and we booked her in for several more sessions. Both Juliet and Eugene adore dogs and are patient and caring. It's a shame we are moving to a different area as we're going to find it hard to find a place as good as theirs. Thank you to both of you.
I would recommend. Lynne was professional and after meting with her prior to the appointment, I felt at ease for her to stay in my house. Lynne was looking after my dog whilst I had to travel. Thank you Lynne, I will not hesitate to book your services again. Kind regards Marika
Just wanted to reassure anybody thinking of leaving their dogs in the care of Liz that believe me they will be truly cared for. One 14yr old and a 2yr old both Cavalier King Charles spaniels came home very happy and relaxed. Thanks again Liz.
Brilliant service, we have boarded our dog Kesha with Liz for the last couple of weeks. We are very happy with how she has looked after her and we have liked how she has kept in touch and loved receiving pictures of our dog. Nothing is too much trouble and we have no hesitation with recommending Dinki Dogs. Thank you Liz 🐾 …
Liz looked after my jack Russell Titch who’s 13, she is just fantastic and so caring and kind. Titch loved it there didn’t want to come home! He was so well looked after and loved making new little friends 🐶 couldn’t recommend Liz high enough loved the daily updates too put my mind at. Thank you for taking such good care of my oldie and will definitely be back again.
We came across Liz when we booked a holiday abroad and didn't want to put our 14 year old and 13 year old in Kennels. Obviously, due to their ages, we were very nervous to leave, no need to worry. Liz would send pictures and updates via WhatsApp, and it was lovely and reassuring how well the trio looked. We also have a 6 year old who is a rescue only had a year before going away. Already booked them for their next holiday.
Absolutely 100% would I recommend Liz and Dinki Dogs for dog boarding. We had regular texts and photos with updates which re-assured us that Hugo (cocker poo) had indeed settled and behaved himself with the other residents. We would all like to express our thanks to Liz and her family for looking after Hugo and will most definitely be repeat customers 😊🐶❤️
We highly recommend Liz. We leave our 2 little terriers in doggy day care with Liz. They are a handful even though they're tiny but Liz treats them like they're her own. We get regular updates through the day which is very reassuring. Very highly recommended.
We would 100% recommend Dinki Dogs to anyone. Liz and her family welcomed Bailey into their home and cared for her brilliantly. We had several photo and video updates over the weekend, which helped us relax and enjoy ourselves knowing she was settled and happy.
We absolutely love Liz, there is nobody else we would trust our little scruffy with. She treats him like he's her own she's always giving us updates on what he is doing there. He loves it, pretty sure he prefers It there to our house!!!! Thank you so much for always taking good care of him x
I would highly recommend Liz at Dinki dogs, Marley loves going to visit and having sleepovers. I know that Marley is always very well looked after which is peace of mind and Liz always updates me with photos of what he’s been up to, which is so lovely! 🥰 …
Great doggy day care. My hound loves it, Liz is lovely with the dogs. Highly recommended
Hazy Days Pet care, looked after our two house Rabbits Pepsi and Shirlie. We felt very comfortable, happy and safe. Everything was done like we'd discussed. The rabbits seemed calm. They bonded with Lorna, which was fab! We felt our house was looked after too. Highly recommended. We will definitely be using the same service again soon. 😊
Lorna did an amazing job, looking after Muffin during our wedding. She made sure muffin was happy thought out. Would highly recommend very good with the dogs and friendly.
Lorna travelled internationally to care for our cat. We highly recommend her for her skilled approach, kindness, empathy, knowledge and experience in taking exceptional care of her. Her daily updates were very much appreciated, excellent communication throughout. Our Siamese was delighted and happy to have such a gentle, responsible and caring guardian in our absence, and it showed. Thank you.
As a fellow dog walker myself. I often see Lorna out on walks with her clients dogs, & if I felt in anyway she was not capable of controlling or having any dogs safe whilst in her care. I would not put one of my own clients dogs in her care while I am on maternity leave. She has a kind nature to her, & every dog she has with her shows how much they adore her. Highly recommended.
Fantastic service, Lorna is qualified and experienced, but above all she is passionate and had the best interest of my pets at heart. Nothing was too much trouble. Great value, trustworthy and reliable. I noted one negative review on Google , this is a million miles away from my experience and as someone who has over 15 years experience teaching Animal Science I can vouch for Lorna's knowledge and competence.
Lorna recently looked after my two cats Talis and Luca and she was brilliant. Very professional and caring. Having not left my cats before with someone I did not know, I was a bit nervous but after meeting her before I went away I felt very confident as it was obvious that she loves animals. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again.
I am keen to express my thanks to Lorna who kindly supported me last week when my normal dog walker was quite unwell and my husband working away and myself full time working, I was in a state of panic for Smartie and his dog walks. Lorna was able to pick up Smartie walks from the day I contacted her. Smartie came back a very happy pup. He really enjoyed his walks and especially when with other dogs of Hazy Days Lorna was professional, came to pick up Smartie when she said she would and just lovely to meet. You could tell that Lorna really cares for the dogs she walked and more importantly Smartie was always bouncing to get out of the door to get to Lorna when she arrived. Overall I cannot state enough how great Lorna was and would highly recommend. Thank you Lorna for your help last week and I wish you all the very best with your dog walking business.
Lorna is gentle, calm, focused on your animals well-being and obviously knowledgeable about animal behaviour and welfare. She walks my big labrador and he adores his walks with her. I trust her with a key to my home and even more valuable my dog. She is flexible with times and days, easy to arrange dates with and Merli comes back happy and tired after a run around with his best friend. Choosing her for dog walking was a great choice.
I visited Torbay and needed my Dalmatian walked as I had a meeting he couldn’t attend with me. I’m a fellow dog walker in another area of the country and I was blown away by Lornas service. She is absolutely amazing, my boy loved her. She’s highly knowledgeable, professional and anyone can clearly see she truly loves dogs. Highly recommend!
Launa has just looked after my cats whilst I was away for a few days……my boys are very timid but Launa was amazing with them they were very happy and very well cared for. She’s so in tune with both the animals needs and their owners anxiety’s. I would highly recommend her services.
