"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
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.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
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!
Buddy spent a long weekend while we were on holiday. He was booked into multiple group sessions and for a groom at the end. When we picked him up he was happy and full of beans. Home from Home accomodated us in storing the car crate, giving us more bootspace for our journey and accepted Buddy's food to keep his diet the same as it is at home. Both greatly appreciated. Unfortuantely after 4 or 5 group play sessions we only have two pictures to see the friends he made and the fun he should(?) have had (attached), only receiving these after constant reminding (no pictures were available on Facebook or privately). I requested the brands used during Buddy's groom (assuming it was this) as he came home with a rash on his tender bits, later moving to the base of his tail. Fortunately our pet insurance offers free video vet services (Home from Home did offer to cover any vet costs etc to their credit). I am still waiting for the product names almost 4 weeks later, in order for us to avoid them (the products) in future. All in all ok which is disapointing as I was expecting much more.
Took care of my two cats for a month or so and I was able to visit during that time. Quite spacious and tiered cubicles that they were kept in together and monitored daily. Obviously a little noisy with other cats and dogs in neighbouring surrounding cubicles and buildings but my cats seemed quite settled regardless. Would recommend.
I took my dog to there family friendly dog show and of course she won best in she. That meant she won a couple of nights stay. So we used our prize. I can definitely say I highly recommend home from home. The staff was super with bea and she went in very happy, came out even happier. Love that they post photos on their Facebook for them having fun. Thank you we shall be returning 🥰🐶🐾
We often use these kennels for our 2 Frenchies and Border Terrier for both daycare and overnight stays. Before their first visit I came to view the kennels. They are clean, spacious warm and comfortable. The staff are always professional and welcoming too. There are also lots of additional services you can book for your pets including grooming, extra walks, 1-1 time etc. When my dogs come for a stay they jump up at the door and push it open themselves, clearly looking forward to it. I love it that I can easily book a stay online via their website. I think that is really helpful rather than having to ring up to book.
Took our 3 year old border terrier Hamish for his very first overnight stay😧...I was soooooh apprehensive and nervous they would not care for him at the level I expected. All my initial fears were completely resolved as soon as I met the staff, each and everyone, verbally and non verbally made me realise Hamish would be cared for. When he was taken to his Hillside room (much quieter area), Saffy reasured me even more just how much the staff cares, I was happy she was taking him for his play session. Hamish was only there for one overnight stay, when he was collected the following day, he was bouncy, energetic, his little tail going like the clappers....yep I was very happy 😊. It's a wonderful caring environment to take your precious gargo!! We are planning to access the day to socialise with other dogs.
This was my dog's first experience of staying in kennels, so we were really apprehensive. I needn't have worried. Home from Home has a very professional feel and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Ringo had a 3 night stay and, when I picked him up, he was absolutely fine; like he'd never been away. I would definitely recommend.
Just want to thank everyone for taking care of Bella our Frenchie whilst we had a week away in Turkey. She has come back full of beans and can't thank the staff enough for looking after her. Grooming team have done a great job aswell
Friendly Staff, great facilities, my dog gets excited when she knows she is going. Couldn't ask for better!
As a truck driver take a rigid only ,I took an artic very tight ,but had a couple of banks men. Great team here very helpful.
Brilliant first time I’ve left my dog in the 6 years of having him and they looked after him like he was there own defo be using again
What a great service we received from Roy and Sheila when they looked after Evie 27th April 2024 for a week. They looked after our elderly poorly dog who took ill 5 days prior to our holiday. I contacted Roy to give him the choice of been able to say no to looking after her, we would fully understand, Roy said this wasn't a problem and to bring her. During our holiday Roy sent lots of updates of Evie's improvement, but just as important she looked very at home and happy. We wish we had found Petstay years ago and of course Roy and Shela. Thank you both so much.
Just picked my baby Tommy up after his 3 week holiday with Karla. He's a very bostrous mischievous little man who's also very nervous with new people so I was worried about leaving him Tommy had a great time and Karla looked after him brilliantly sending lots of reassuring messages and pictures. If she can cope with my Tommy she came cope with any dog!! Thanks for looking after my baby. X
Want to thank Heather (and Ian) for looking after Poppy while we were on holiday. We had the initial meeting, and then another get together just before we went away. Poppy immediatley felt comfortable with Heather and Ian, and this gave us the reassurance she would be fine while we were away. Heather kept us up to date on a daily basis with Poppy's day with regular photos. It was very clear that Poppy was very much loved and cared for during the whole time she was with Heather. Would recommend Petstay everytime. Heather was fantastic and it is clear she loves dogs and treats them as part of her family. Thank you again for everything. Xxx
Kept me hanging on for almost 4 weeks, telling me there was carers available, to get a call telling me no carers where available, leaving us hardly any time at all now to find alternative arrangements, ive used pet stay before and couldnt fault them, they seem to have gone massively down hill
First time i have used pet stay. Poppy my West highland terrier loved her stay with Bill and Jenny many thanks a really lovely couple and one happy dog to
Still waiting for a callback from nearly a week ago.... Not the best impression to get for a new customer
Good place
Expensive
Good service
Vicky and Paul, the owners of Purrfect Tails, are genuinely passionate about animals and and they always go above and beyond to ensure that my pets are happy and well-cared for. I use Purrfect Tails for regular group dog walks and occasional pet sitting for my dog and 3 cats. I never have to worry about any of my pets when they are with Purrfect Tails because I know that they are in good hands. Vicky and Paul send regular updates with pictures via WhatsApp, and it's clear from the photos that all dogs on the group walk are having the best time! They get taken to a range of walks around the local area and I know that my dog absolutely loves it when she sees Vicky come through the door! I would highly recommend using Purrfect Tails for your pet care needs. They are reliable, compassionate, and affordable and I can't imagine anyone better to trust with my pet care needs!
If you are looking for a dog sitting/walking service then look no further than “purrfect tails” It’s run by a lovely couple who really care about your dog and I highly recommend them.
Excellent service with great care of our dogs
They were on holiday
Absolutely terrible service! The carer acused my tiny frenchie of biting him! We have 2 small children one is autistic and he’s the friendliest most loving dog with all humans. Yet on the first night this man said he bit him but has no proof, no marks or nothing! So I had to arrange my family to move gizmo to a kennel with a massive cost. The kennel owner had him in his house with him and his dogs because he was so stressed when he got there and he said there’s not one aggressive bone in his body. These people won’t refund me all my money so we’ve lost nearly £100 because we apparently broke the t&cs due to aggression yet they have no proof my dog behaved that way, he’s my special needs sons therapy dog. I advise you read all t&cs thoroughly before using these people if you want your dog to be happy whilst you’re away. It ruined the first 3 days of our holiday due to worry!! Head office just tell you to take them to court if you’re not happy, great customer service that is!!
very good prices
It is very rare to find a cat sitter, that's reliable, punctual, passionate, trustworthy and flexible. If you want to leave your " family member " in good hands, look no further. Danielle is the person you are looking for. I can relax on holidays knowing my cat is looked after with the same love as I was there. THANK YOU DANIELLE! 10*
Danielle is excellent with both our dogs and communicating with us. Our dogs Rufus and Toby love Danielle and get really excited when they see her. The dogs get given plenty of exercise and we get given updates on how the dogs are doing which is really reassuring. I would highly recommend Danielle if your looking for someone professional, reliable and who you can trust with your furry best friends.
After being let down by other dog walkers who where always late or messing me around, I was starting to think I’d never find anyone decent or someone I could trust but then a friend recommended Danielle and I’m made up with the service. She does a great job walking my dog and I know I can rely on her. Wouldn’t use anyone else now.
Could recommend Danielle enough she is amazing Senna loves her to bits
Our dogs Hendrix and Roxy always have a fantastic time during their holidays with Sam and Steve. They are always so excited and pleased to see them. Sam always keep us updated with plenty of pictures and we never worry about their wellbeing, content in the knowledge that they are happy in their home away from home and having a blast. We would never leave them anywhere else.
I've been messed around by a few dog walkers and had become very nervous about needing one. Neville longbottom loves his walks. Excited to leave and returns happy and tired. Thank you
Laura does a fantastic job and I would highly recommend her for your pet needs!
Absolutely trustworthy, reliable, amazing, friendly and truly dog loving Ladies. I can't recommend enough. Both - Beth and Mandy are real gems in our area. They have never let us down - MORE!- they help us many time when unexpected situation happened. My Labradors adore them both ( I know, because once or twice I was at home, when Mandy came to take them for walk). I couldn't be more happy to use Trails And Treats Agency. As a Mum of two Golden Oldies I am keep thinking how are my Boys when I'm at work. Thanks Beth and Mandy my life is easier + Faro's and Duke's day is more interesting = our life is carefree but full of trust to Agency.
Beth has looked after our dog Gus for nearly a year. Gus loves Beth and he is always super excited to see her. Whilst Gus was a pup she helped us out a lot visiting him multiple times if for whatever reason we needed to leave him for a few hours. She has also provided us with walking services when we have struggled to get him out due to work commitments. Beth always texts to let me know Gus is well and provides updates as and when needed. She has always been flexible trying to help us out when we have had an unforeseen need to be out of the house for the day. We totally trust her with the keys to our house and with Gus. We completely recommend Beth if you need a dog sitter/walker in the Anlaby area.
Beth has been looking after Max for a number of years now. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Both Beth and Mandy are extremely reliable and Max loves it when they come to look after him. In a word they are Superstars! Thank you both for treating Max like your own.
We’ve been using Beth for over 6 years now for our Rolo who came to us with problems as rehomed him, these included not liking other dogs. She’s always worked with us to help over the years with his training and done several home stays in these years too so we can have family holidays. Would recommend her, Rolo’s always pleased to see her.
We wanted to send a review/feedback of your stay with the boys. We are extremely concerned and disappointed that you left the dogs for such a long time on numerous occasions and sometimes for prolonged periods numerous times a day. We agreed a maximum of 4 hours for the dogs to be left, and we were under the understanding this would be worse case scenario, it wouldn’t happen numerous times and certainly not numerous times a day. I’m also quite annoyed that your parents came to my house numerous times. We hired you and vetted you to be in my house alone and with our boys not someone else. If i had met her and this would have been agreed it would not have been a problem, but from our point of view, a complete stranger is in my house unattended when I’m not even in the country. And as for the accident, the boys do not have accidents ever in the house unless they are unwell or unattended to. And this again leaves us to believe that you have neglected them during your stay. Regretfully, we will not be recommending your service and we feel our trust was very much broken.
I’ve taken my dog here since October 2023, I’ve used the day school, training and grooming services available and have been thrilled with all services. My dog absolutely loves the dayschool and is always excited when going in, I love seeing the daily updates on the social media and the report card I get at the end of the day seeing what she’s been up to. The staff are always helpful and treat my dog as if she was their own. It has really helped grow her confidence and improve her socialisation skills with other dogs and people. I also take her to 1-1 training sessions were each session is tailored towards my dog and her needs, I get valuable information and advice that I can then use myself to help with any of my dogs needs. The grooming staff also have helped with desensitising my dog to getting her nails cut and are really patient with her and take it as slow as she needs. I wouldn’t choose anywhere else to send my dog as I know the staff clearly love the dogs in their care and are always willing to help in anyway they can.
I have 2 dogs who go to Noah's Ark, both are well looked after. Both dogs are keen to get through the door in a morning. The staff are friendly and helpful and are obviously dog lovers. You receive a report card each day with information on what training etc has been done and numerous photos. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Enid been coming here since she was allowed to (after her second set of puppy vaccines). She is disabled puppy with leg issues and was brought up by the veterinary nurses so very good with humans but socially awkward and shy with other dogs (esp since every puppy wants to jump on her dodgy shoulder upon meeting her) She got given the one to one time she needed and came out of her shell with the kind and gentle staff supervising her dog-to-dog interaction. When she had her general anaesthetic and needed specific post-surgery rehab, i printed out the post-surgery instructions and the team shared the info amongst the whole staffing team so everyone was well informed on her rehab protocol. And she got given the 1-to-1 time she needed during that rehab time despite being at day school. This is the dog that RUNS toward the school when we go for walkies around the area and wriggles with excitement when she sees the school staff. 5/5 stars
Took my unruly Sprocker Spaniel to Noah's Ark as a last resort as he was very difficult to control. Fortunately Phoebe told us and showed us what might help. This was not a miracle cure ...but was just what we needed to get a element of control. After two 1 hr classes, he is a different dog and just about does what he is told. He is still work in progress but we are both less fustrated on our walks. I have to give a massive shout out to Phoebe who has set both me and Frank on the right path. Thanks Phoebe you are brilliant and a joy to work with. Best Wishes Keith Tina and not least Frank... Ps will be back for follow up classes...
My little pooch has been coming for 3 years since he was a pup and he absolutely loves it. The staff are absolutely amazing and can't do enough. Creche reports are great, there's always little events to look forward too, and they make such a fuss on birthdays, Halloween etc.
Bertie loves it here!!! We visit twice a week and he runs through the door each time. The staff show him so much love, patience and attention. We noticed the staff learnt his name after his first time - this showed us that they care.
Kevin has been going to school since he was 6 months old and absolutely loves his days with you. I would highly recommend Noahs Ark Dog Day School, the staff are all wonderful and look after our doggies so well. the training and skills that your dogs will learn is brilliant. thankyou as always Linzi & Kevin xx
Very inexperienced staff, lots of young girls who don't seem to stay in employment long. Picked up my dog and he had a slice right down his nose. I was still charged for the day and no explanation was given by any of the staff. Might be OK with the vast number of cockapoos which seem to frequently use the place but not skilled or experienced enough to look after young large breed dogs. Very poor 'explanation' of what supposedly happened by business owner over the phone. Wouldn't use if It was the only place available.
Paid £25.00 for the training for today. Tried to get in touch and it kept going to the answer phone. One of the buses never turned up. Couldn't manage to get there on time. I want to rearrange the appointment and use the £25.00 and they said I lost the money because I never turned up for the appointment. Never use them ever again. Not a good place.
My puppy has been warmly welcomed and very well looked after by Leanne, Grace and Jasmine at Noah's Ark Dog Day School since his very first timid day there. There is a structure to the dogs' day which includes training sessions and the dogs are checked and observed throughout the day. A lovely touch is a daily report card so owners can read how their dogs have been doing and each day there is an award for Dog of the Day! I feel that everybody at Noah's Ark genuinely cares about and for each and every dog that goes there and they know each dog's individual quirks and personalities. I would highly recommend Noah's Ark as a safe, caring environment for your puppy or dog.
