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.

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
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!
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
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!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
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!
Boarded our 12 year old Benji with Catrina for 5 days. We were not sure how he would be as he has recently lost his twin brother. We shouldn’t have worried as he was very well looked after. Definitely would recommend Catrina and would not hesitate to use Dogs at Spencerfield again
"5 Stars for Catrina! This was the third time Catrina looked after our two Maltese girls, Molly and Bow, while we were away. They are quite spoiled at home, and we needed someone who could match the love and care they're used to. Catrina did just that and more. She kept us updated with messages and photos, showing us just how much our girls were enjoying their home away from home. It was so reassuring to see Molly and Bow relaxed and happy. We can't thank Catrina enough for her fantastic care. It's a huge relief to have found someone who truly loves animals and treats them like her own. Thank you so much, Catrina!" Looking for our next holiday knowing that we can leave our girls with you. 😍 highly recommend Spencerfield
My pup crew, Bubble and Teddy, have stayed with Catrina on three different occasions now and I cannot recommend her enough! This wonder woman isn't just a dog sitter, she's a dog whisperer extraordinaire. Bubble, my high-maintenance diva, gets endless belly rubs and long walks throughout the day, while Teddy, my cuddle monster, receives expert-level snuggles that would put a professional cuddler to shame. They come back happy, healthy, and sporting suspiciously wagging tails, which tells me they've been living the good life – long walks, endless treats, and maybe even a secret stash of squeaky toys. And it's not just the dogs she spoils! Throughout the day, I always receive adorable photo and video updates! Both of my fur babies stayed with Catrina last Christmas and she also gifted them both a present! Talk about going the extra mile (or fetching the extra ball?). I honestly wouldn't dream of using anyone else when I travel. So, if you're looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond, beyond, and then some, do yourself (and your pup) a favor and book them at Spencerfield. You won't regret it, unless maybe your dog isn't as excited to see you when you pick them up as you'd hope. (Just kidding... mostly.) 10/10. Thank you for always watching my pups!
Our dachshund Seve has been staying with Catrina several times a year for the last 11 years. He absolutely loves his time with Catrina & Kobe. He is treated like one of the family & he has so much fun when he’s there. We’re always happy to leave Seve as we never have to worry about him when we’re away. Would definitely recommend Dogs at Spencerfield
I cannot rate Catrina and Dogs at Spencerfield highly enough. My little munchkins have been going over to this luxury home from home 5⭐️heaven since my oldest was around 4 or so months. The lovely wee doggies get the real ‘red carpet’ treatment, including all the walks, snacks and pupper enrichment their little hearts could desire. They also get evening sofa snuggles too! When my boys are staying with Catrina and her family, I know I can relax and really enjoy my time away. Catrina provides regular pupdates and is great at managing my eldest boy’s special dietary needs which really gives me peace of mind. Dogs at Spencerfield is truly a unique business and I would never consider boarding my fur- babies anywhere else. Dogs at Spencerfield is fully council licenced which is such an important fact, particularly nowadays when everyone and anyone seems to be ‘doing dog boarding’. When I collect them after my holidays, I can tell they have had a whale of a time! Thanks so much for all you do for us Catrina, Kobe and the gang, love Lauren, Duke and little Blue too 🐶🥰🐶
We have been using “ Dogs at Spencerfield” for a couple of years and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Our dog is always happy to be left off in this home from home environment. It is definitely our number one choice. Thank you Catrina and family.
Our Yorkie stayed with Catrina in February and we could see from the first photos already that he was very comfortable there! I'm very satisfied and I know I can trust Catrina, I will certainly be using this service again!
Our dog has stayed with Catrina and family many times and seems to love it! Catrina regularly sends pics and “pupdates” on how our dog is doing when staying over which always helps when you’re missing them!
Our shih tzu girl has now been 3 times to Dogs at Spencerfield and would recommend the service to anyone looking for a first class dog boarding. Catrina is very professional and friendly. Misty has always been looked after very well and we trust Catrina with her. We know she has a good time and loves to go back. And gives us peace of mind when we go away. If you look for a safe, loving and beautiful, tranquil away home for your dog, Dogs at Spencerfield is perfect.
Arranged for our Corgi to stay here. Had an introduction at the premises where Catrina met us and our dog, and we signed all paperwork. Agreed on a date for a trial night which was then changed by Catrina, so we changed plans to accommodate. We were then emailed by Catrina 4 days before the re-arranged trial stay, to be told our dog (who she already met) was not small enough to stay, meaning we had to again cancel our plans, at our expense.
Miriam looked after our Cavapoo puppy Max for a week. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We had regular updates on Max throughout the week who was well looked after and cared for. We had complete piece of mind during our holiday. Miriam was great to deal with, she also provided us with a lot of useful tips and suggestions with Max going forward. She is very knowledgeable about dog breeds in general. Brilliant service and Max will be back for his ‘pawlidays’ again soon 🐾
Fantastic service throughout. Our little dog was well looked after and had a great time meeting new friends. It truly is a home from home service and we are already booked in for another. Thank you for all you do.
Gave me some very helpful feedback regarding my 2 doggies, although she couldn’t board them herself she was super insightful and gave me some other trusted boarder recommendations!
Honestly what a genuine lovely lady miriam is although she was fully booked on the dates I needed she went above and beyond with lots of helpful information moving forward, recommend advice she gave, the amount of time she took out her own day to talk with me reassuring me and going threw option I'm so grateful for. I would highly recommend her service based on our own chat for the last 2 hours nothing was a problem if anything I have gained knowledge/ understanding of my own wee dog this lady is hands down a lovely soul thank you Tanya x
I have been using Bespoke Home from Home Dog Boarding for many years - the first time was just after Miriam started it all! Border collie Mac was just a young dog then and he was always well cared for and given that extra special love and attention that you want for your special pet when you have to leave them. We have had 4 different carers over the years and all have been excellent. We now have two dogs, 2 border collies Mac and Midge, and whenever we leave them, we are confident that that they are in safe hands and that they will be cared for as you would care for them yourself at home. Sometimes, it is hard to tear them away and bring them home, they have had such a great time!! Thank you! :)
Unfortunately she couldn't board my dog, but she spent a lot of time with me trying to help me out. A very helpful lady who gave her time when she didn't have to.
Bespoke Dog Boarding was highly recommended to me by my vet. I telephoned the owner of the company and we had a detailed chat about my dog and his requirements, also his daily routine. I was most impressed by the owner of the company and can tell that she clearly is very knowledgeable about dog breeds in general. I was concerned that my dog who is a loveable middle aged lab, would be home boarded alongside, for example, a "Staffie" but after reading these other reviews, I am delighted to say that dogs who some may consider as potentially dangerous breeds would not be allowed to board with Bespoke Dog Boarding. This gave me peace of mind. I then met with one of the dog carers, who fell in love with my boy straight away and vice versa. The carers home and garden was beautiful. We spend over half an hour with the carer and played with my dog in the garden. I could see how happy he would be if he were to come here for his holidays. I have now used Bespoke Dog Boarding 3 times this year already as the service is fantastic. The dogs receive 3 or 4 lengthy walks each day, loving home comforts, constant companionship and I also received updates during my holiday followed by a selection of beautiful photographs after my holiday, showing Bailey having a super time with another 2 dogs from different families. When I collected him, he didn't want to leave!!!! I have now highly recommended Bespoke Dog Boarding to all of my dog friends. I would advise others to make a booking months in advance of your holiday as they are usually fully booked 6 months to a year in advance by all their regular clients. However I have sometimes asked for a short notice booking and if they have availability they will take Bailey. To the team of dog carers who may read this, thank-you for providing me with total peace of mind and I look forward to using your service for many more years to come.
Used Miriam for my dog Bailies 14 years at least three times a year and couldn’t fault her. She dosnt take dangerous breeds which I feel is a great thing as it is only for the safety of our own dogs . I can’t beleive the below negative posts when thease people have even used the company because they didn’t make it through the strict criteria . Well done Bespoke for not taking any dog just to make more money . Fabulous service and genuine dog lovers .
Had a good phone call with bespoke she gave me good advice highly recommend her will use her in the future thanks so much
Murdo has been looked after by Colin & Mary on several occasions. His second home, I have no problem leaving him and know he'll be well looked after with lots of walks and cuddles.
Tracey is nothing short of a kitty-cat goddess! She visited my feline companion Sandy once per day to lavish him with food and love whilst I was in Berlin. I was very nervous about leaving him, but Tracey was so reassuring and sent videos and photos of him every day. He adored her from the first meeting. I'll definitely be using Fur Babies again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tracey 😽💕❤️
Tracey has looked after my cat Luna several times now. She’s such a lovely, kind and caring woman. The videos and photos after every visit are amazing and so reassuring that Luna is well. I will highly recommend Tracey to anyone looking for a pet sitter 😻 …
Have used fur babies many times now and I can’t recommend enough. The updates daily with photos and videos is a lovely touch. I am rest assured my cats are well looked after.
Tracey is just amazing! She is reliable, very responsible and kind. Our cats love her and trust her, and so do we. I don't worry about my gang at all when Tracey is taking care of them. Definitely would recommend her to anyone without a second thought.
Fantastic service , Tracey was absolutely lovely and the cats took to her straight away ( cats know good people ) , I had a week away and lots of photos sent every day with updates . Your babies are in safe hands 🙌 …
Tracey at Dunfermline is absolutely marvellous in every respect. Communication, affection shown towards my cat, attention to detail in feeding and care, and feedback videos on how he is doing. I cannot recommend her too highly.
Written by Sarah: 5 stars isn't enough! I was nervous leaving our cat for the first time but Tracey was really understanding and I felt instantly reassured. She is so caring and our cat loves her. Had whatsapp updates which show a happy cat :) thanks Tracey for looking after her so well!
My cat had the pleasure of having Tracey's company for 10 days whilst we were on holiday. Tracey was fabulous with my cat and could see from the daily videos how taken he was with her kind words and loving manner towards him. The biggest compliment is the cat didn't seem that fussed to have us home. Not really sure he noticed we had left. The reassurance that the cat was being well cared for and given his daily medication in his own home was amazing. I would highly recommend Tracey for your cats needs. Thanks again Tracey and will be in touch next time we get the chance to get away xxx
Tracey was absolutely fantastic looking after my two kittens 😸. She went above & beyond with the care she gave on her twice daily visits. The videos & photos after every visit were lovely & so reassuring (I was very anxious leaving my babies). Tracey clearly loved my kittens from the moment she met them & they loved her. She has such a lovely, kind & gentle approach - which was seen from the initial visit & on every visit to my kittens. The videos sent often made me giggle as my kittens were clearly having so much fun playing, loving the cuddles & were helping Tracey clean too 😀 I will highly recommend Tracey to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She goes above & beyond. Thank you for looking after my babies so well. I would be delighted to have Tracey look after my kittens again in the future. Beyond a 5 star 🌟 review.
Tracey did a very good job looking after our 5 cats while we were on holidays. It was such a relief seeing videos and photos of them, knowing they are in caring hands. She won the trust of 2 of them straight away! Happy to recommend Fur Babies to anyone looking for reliable person to care for your furry treasures.
Unfortunately, my dog was involved in an ‘incident’ while in their care. I spoke with bark n fly on the phone at 12pm 7th of March while at work and was told that a dog had ran over to mine and had bitten him on the ear (“nipped”) and there were some marks left underneath his front shoulder. We were told that he did not need picked up early and was fine after the incident as he was acting like himself. I was told it was up to owners if they wanted to opt for stitches on the ear or let it heal itself but to possibly get some antibiotics from the vet to avoid infection. I had booked my dog into the vet just to be sure. I was told the dogs had been separated and that the other owner would be told about the incident. I was also told that it would’ve been my dog that would get moved groups in future as he had been placed with the larger dogs. When I arrived to collect my dog, he came limping down the steps and I initially was looking for the cut on his ear when I noticed there was a major cut on his leg. After seeing my dog close up I could tell he would need stitches at the top of his leg and there would definitely be no ‘owner choice’ in regards to his wound. The worker told me he had been asleep for the last 2 hours which is very out of character for my young beagle and he has never done that while at day care before. I told the worker that he clearly needs stitches and they looked at his wound and addressed my dog and asked him if he had been “licking it while I wasn’t watching”. No amount of licking could have caused the open wound on his arm, I had no response to this and picked him up to go to the vets. I could see that my dog had been bitten multiple times and this was not a result of playing. I had to lift my dog to the car as he refused to walk any further and I left in tears. After taking my dog to the vet, they could see that he would need stitches and booked him in for the following morning. He had to be injected with antibiotics and painkillers, wound cleaned and given a cone to stop him making the cut worse. My insurance covered the £550 vet bills but I paid £160 excess for his injuries. In his procedure he had to get 3 different lots of stitches. After seeking a dog walker, they also had a look at the injuries and described it as he had clearly been mauled by the other dog. I was not told that the other dog who had done this would no longer be allowed to attend the daycare and I also feel upset that their owner will not know the extent of the incident and will not hear the final outcome. I had no confirmation about what had been said to the other owner. I wish that I had known the extent of his injury and I would have collected him straight away and taken him to the vet rather than him being hurt and left for 4 hours. Since then, Bark N Fly told me that they would pay me back the excess amount of £160 which took 2 months to receive back. I am only posting my experience now as although I stopped using their services I feel that other dogs owners should know about my dogs experience using Bark N Fly.
We've used Bark n Fly's services several times now and have been impressed each time. The gentleman that does the pick up is always kind and patient, and when we went to the place in person the staff were also helpful. We thought the facilities were impressive, too. Our dog (pictured in our local park) is very nervous of people but Bark n Fly assured us she'd be okay and have been most professional. I would absolutely recommend them if you need your dog cared for.
My pup Daisy loves the day care facilities at Bark n Fly. The pickup/drop off service is really handy. Daisy recently stayed for just under a week in the boarding services and had a great time, I appreciated the pictures of her playing and living her best life! Will definitely keep using Bark n Fly and highly recommend
This is the first time we have used kennels for our two dogs Winnie and Mylo, Dawn and her team were great and helped us get everything organised for their stay. Winnie is a typical outgoing wee white fluff ball but Mylo is quite a nervous dog but they were so good and caring with him and the genuine affection shown by Abby and the other staff helped him relax, come out of his shell and enjoy his stay. We will definitely use them again. Thanks Kevin & Lynne
This was our first time using the boarding service at Bark n Fly. When we picked our Westie Mara up after a wee, she tried to run back inside the building - so she must have absolutely loved it! Staff were friendly and gave some nice feedback on her stay. We will definitely use you again when we go away.
20 min waiting for someone at reception and nothing. Looks like I will lose my appointment at 10am due to not being able to leave my dogs for care. If you leave your dog here make sure you have enough, more than enough time. Looks like a nice place but no one at the front. Edited review - Don’t know how to reply to the “lies” I called - someone said would be there soon (disregarding the las two, dialled by mistake) so yes, there are calls. Be aware that someone answered so this is not a lie - perhaps you don’t know the call is registered on the callers phone. I was there at 9:22 with one of my dogs outside - took the picture because I knew this would be contested. So, yes, I did follow the instructions given in the door and yet nothing. Again, looks like a nice place but give yourself plenty, plenty of time and maybe someone will be at the reception.
Fantastic day care and boarding centre. Very friendly and helpful staff, and super convenient pick up / drop off service. When our dog was a puppy we really liked that we could get her acclimated to being away by starting with a half day at day care, progressing to a full day, and then to overnight stays. Our dog always loves her time there and comes home very sleepy from all the playing!
Chippy seemed very happy staying over!
The Bark n Fly is amazing! They’re services are great! They picked up and delivered our dogs and both drivers were friendly, helpful and so patient with Ruby and Leia! We also could follow them on Instagram and check how much fun the dogs had playing around! They arrived home very happy (and equally exhausted because of the great time they had). I have no words to express how grateful we are to have found such nice people to take care of them while we are away 💙
We have a very active 18 months old GSP, who has struggled with home boarding so decided to try Bark’n’Fly. The team were very knowledgeable and gave us great advice on how to help her adjust to staying overnight. Coco has now been going for 3 months and her separation anxiety is gone! She recognises the staff and can’t wait to play in the fields with all the other dogs. We love checking Instagram to see if we can see a picture of Coco having fun on their account! I recommend the team and the set up, especially if you have an active dog, it’s great for them to be able to play all day
We had a wonderful experience with Angela! She helped us out last minute and took our dog for the day when we went into Edinburgh. She was so friendly and kept us updated with photos of our dog. He is very attached so didn’t like being away from us, but relaxed and came back to us full of smiles. Highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing! Angela loves dogs so much. This is evident in everything she does with them. Always gives u 110% and is someone you can completely trust. She was my kids babysitter before moving to dog walking. She now walks my dog! I really do recommend.
I am really happy with the service Ziggy's Zoomies provided. Angela is very conscientious and I felt completely reassured that my pet and home were in great hands. Angela was also great at sending me wee updates so I knew that all was well. Very happy and I would definitely recommend. Thank you Ziggy's Zoomies!
After looking online for a dog walker I came across ziggy’s zoomies and then the following morning not planned we met in the grass area that the back of qmh While ziggy give Charlie the lowdown I got the lowdown from ziggy’s mom, Charlie started his walks and in weeks Angela had him off the lead running with the guys in the group So it's a 5 from Charlie and I 🐕🐕 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Julie took fantastic care of our dog Islay when we went on holiday, she sent us daily updates and pictures of all the activities she did with islay. She even bought her a new Kong ball when islay lost her original. She clearly has a passion for what she does and is extremely professional and capable. Would highly recommend and will be definitely using her services again
Would highly recommend Julia to look after your dog. She looked after our puppy for 4 weeks and will definitely be sending Lexie back to her when we go on our next holiday. She sent us regular photos and updates and kept us informed when Lexie had a mild reaction to some salmon oil. Lexie had an amazing time with her and would love to go back! 10/10.
I would highly recommend Julia to everyone who loves their dogs. Julia was looking after my dog for a couple of days and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. I have been receiving regular updates about Lexi and photos from her daily activities. Knowing that Lexi was so well looked after allowed me to enjoy my time away from her. Lexi came back home very happy too. Julia is amazing in what she is doing and you can see all dogs loves her too.
Our beagle x Luna has now stayed with Julia 3 times and I now wouldn't think of placing her anywhere else whilst we go away. Luna has been to kennels once and it was completely the wrong situation for her but now we have found Julia we no longer worry if she's OK. We have just got Luna back after a 5 night stay and she is a very happy doggy. After her stay in kennels last tear she was very different with us and had developed some bad habits. Now when she goes to Julia's she is dragging us to her door and is still the same dog upon return. This time she didn't even notice we had gone, she ran off to play immediately. Julia sends us updates everyday, letting us know she's getting the best care. Luna is treated like one of Julia's own, Luna adores her. You won't find a better place for your fur baby than with Julia.
This is the 3rd time I’ve left my Kobe with Julia. It was my first time leaving Kobe so I was very anxious. From the very start , Julia put me at ease and she took Kobe for a few sleepovers before we left him for his holiday. Julia, is absolutely fantastic, I feel totally content when I leave Kobe with Julia. It’s just home from home. She is so good to him, he gets loads of walks, attention and snuggles. Her own dogs are absolutely adorable 🥰. Julia, keeps me well updated, she sends me loads of pics and videos which I absolutely love , he always looks so happy and getting these just makes my day. I highly recommend Julia, I wouldn’t leave my Kobe with anyone else now. Thank you so so much Julia for being so kind and caring to my baby boy and looking after him so well for us! Kobe is looking forward to his next stay with you. Xx 😘
Julia has been amazing with our Nyra. She updated us everyday and was super good to our girl. You can tell she loves dogs, not only the experience she has but the love is important too. I’m so happy we’ve found someone who Nyra loves. She looks super happy in all photos and is well taken care of. Won’t go anywhere else now. Fair prices, excellent service and cares for her clients. Thanks Julia.
Julia was looking after our dog for about 2 weeks and we could not be more happy with care that our dog received. We have been updated with photos and activities on a daily basis. Really recommend Julia’s service and definitely will get in touch in the future.
Our dog mollie had a lovely time with Julia and her dogs! Julia was in regular communication throughout and kept us updated with lots of pictures. Would highly recommend and I’ll definitely be using Julia’s services again!
I was attending a wedding and needed a dog sitter (I live in Cheshire) Julia was recommended to me and she did an excellent job looking after my 10 month old pup, who can be a bit timid at times. He had an afternoon of fun and adventures. I loved getting photo updates of what he was doing. I would use Julia again if I needed her.
My pups had a great time with Julia. It was their first time away from home so I was a bit nervous but no need as Julia sent me photos and videos of them having a great time. Would definitely recommend!
Our 8 month old pup absolutely adores his walks with One on One dogs. Kristie’s communication is amazing, we always feel like she’s got Otto’s wellbeing and safety at the forefront of her mind. We love seeing all the photos of him having the best time. So happy we found them 🐶 …
One on One dogs is the BEST dog walking and dog training service around. They even offer dog boarding. Kristie and her team are well trained, professional, flexible, dependable, knowledgeable, and LOVE all dogs! I trust them with my senior German Shepherd and also with my (sometimes misbehaved) 5 year old German Shepherd. We have gotten some training for our 5 year old shepherd with Kristie and in just one session she is a better behaved dog. Go to One on One for all of your dog care needs.
Kristie, Isla and Kate are absolutely lovely and completely understanding of a new puppy owner. The team have been so caring of my boy, helping him grow in confidence with his training and out on the lead. Having had a little trouble in the beginning finding the perfect service for puppy visits, the team really came to my rescue. Not only are the team mindful of checking in with you to provide updates and ask questions, Kristie is very professional in the way the service runs. I could not recommend ONE on ONE dogs enough, especially when checking in on your new addition to the family 🐕
I simply cannot recommend Kristie and her team highly enough. One on one have been walking our girls for 5 years and Kristie was instrumental in the early training of our Australian Shepherd puppy. The walkers really care about the dogs and in return they are adored! Absolutely deserved of the 5 stars given here.
After alot of thought and hesitation. We took the plunge and contacted Kristie. So helpful, so understanding of our circumstances. Now our wee timid 'Fergus' cannot wait for his walkers Susan & Emma. He sits at the window waiting for the car and off he goes. Best decision we have made. We get regular updates on what the wee one has been up to, together with pictures. Cannot recommend enough!!!!
Kristie, Cheryl and team do such a great job of walking and stimulating my busy Collie dog. They have taken so much time to be get to know him and his personality! Very happy to do 1:1 walks which lots of businesses don't offer. Would highly recommend One on One Dogs. He loves their visits!
Such a reliable and friendly team! My pup loves going for his walks and playing with his friends. We have used the service since we first got pup and have really appreciated how the interactions have grown with him; from puppy visits and exposure to new experiences, to providing a great routine and socialisation with other dogs. We love seeing weekly pictures of his antics and communications are clear and regular. Couldn’t recommend the team highly enough! 🐶 🐾 🦴
Honestly the BEST dog walkers, I could not recommend them enough. We held off on using a dog walker for years, but from day one Kristie and the team have been amazing, wish we hadn’t waited so long. We get lots of updates and photos. Our girl is so excited for their arrival and comes home happy, exhausted and ready to snooze for hours.
Kristie and the team took on our Collie for daily walks at short notice while we were away on holiday. We met everyone involved prior to leaving wwhich completely reassured us that she ws in good hands.They were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Information was communicated regularly so we could see our pup was happy while we were away and that was also very obvious on our return too. Would definitely recommend One on One and would be our first choice in the future.
I have been using One on One for over a year and would highly recommend. Kristie is very professional and has always made me feel at ease about leaving Marnie in her teams capable hands. Marnie loves her weekly walks with Isla, and gets so excited the moment I even mention her name. I stopped having a need for a dog walker some time ago, but Marnie’s confidence has improved so much from it that we couldn’t possibly give it up. Marnie also loved her holiday with Charlie and it was clear from the pictures and updates that she was having a ball and being treated like she was their own. Charlie even hung on to her a little longer when I was running late getting home, which I was so grateful for. We have also done some training with Kristie which was really helpful. Kristie in general has just been extremely understanding of all my Marnie related worries and has always taken the time to fully reassure me even when i’m being a little on the obsessive side. Can’t thank Kristie, Isla and Charlie enough for the service they provide and for taking such good care of my girl.
Fantastic service, trusting and caring, great communication. Higher recommended. 💪🏽 …
My pooch loves her walks with Steven. His weekend walk has been a life saver. If I could give 6 stars, I would.
Reilly dog has been a regular customer at Happy Pet over the years. Great, friendly & professional service and we would recommend Steven and his team without hesitation.
The Happy Pet Company were so lovely and efficient. We originally hired them to cat sit for our two cats for a week, but due to circumstances had to cancel a few days which they were happy to do. They updated us daily and sent pictures. Our cats can be quite fussy with who they respond to but instantly they greeted Steven which was a relief. We will certainly be using them again.
Steven is absolutely amazing and max loves both him and Sharon - my life would be a lot harder without their help.
I was introduced to this company 2 years ago, Stephen and his team are very professional and my dog couldn’t be happier when he is out in a walk, which makes me happy! Highly recommend.
Fantastic reliable service. Really good communication and a website providing daily feedback. Will definitely use again.
Fantastic dog walking service from the whole team
Amazing people
Absolutely brilliant love Caroline.. dogs have fun come home knackered! Shes very good with dogs with behavioral issues too.... we have a failed bullmation foster...🙄 does doggy day care which we now need for my mums staffie and she walks my daughters dog too. The bigger the dog Caroline excells... and her prices are very good 10 stars not 5 x x x
Amazing top quality service, the excitement of my dog when he sees Caroline says it all.
Barbara has been walking our two dogs for over a year now, and she has been fantastic. She always lets me know when she is with them, and lets me know if there are any issues (which is very rare). I feel that Barbara's service is great value for money, and my two dogs are always very excited to see her. Although I walk them every day in the mornings, I can't give them as much exercise as I would like, and Barbara provides them with a great opportunity for a nice long walk. She is friendly and flexible, and provides me with great peace of mind as I know they are in good and capable hands. I would highly recommend Barbara for any dog-walking/minding requirements you might need.
Barbara has been amazing with my Beagle Max. She is very reliable and will go out of her way to find a solution if I need to change days. She is bubbly and great with the dogs.You can see she has a real passion for the dogs happiness and welfare
Barbara is amazingly friendly with humans and dogs. Committed to ensuring Preston is walked properly, and always trust Barbara to look after him without a doubt that he’s out loving life. Presto goes nutts when Barbara turns up and he’s not a people person. Thanks so much Barbara really appreciate the help. Clicked good quality… that needs explaining: I have a hyper active puppy spaniel who tears about the place but after a nice long walk with Barbara sleeps most of the afternoon. So if you’re looking for a dog walker I would highly recommend you get in touch with Barbara!! Do it now!
Barbara has been amazing! She has been so flexible and friendly. Our dog poppy loves her and their walks together! Would absolutely recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a dog walker!🐾
I contacted Barbara at short notice as my wife had to go abroad for 4 weeks. She was round to see me same day and started few days later. Could tell she was a genuine and caring person and my dogs took to her straight away. Reliable and professional service wouldn't even give it a second thought if I needed help again. Highly recommended......
Barbara is amazing with my dog Nala and is super friendly, and trustworthy. Nala always comes back happy from walks and Barbara is great with letting me know everything. 100% recommend her to anyone that needs a dog walker
I couldn't manage without Barbara taking my pup, Charlie, out through the week. She offers an excellent service and Charlie loves her. She has been taking Charlie for over a year now and she is excellent with her. She is always reliable and never let's me down. I would highly recommend this service ☺
Nice young lady, very friendly, I Was a bit nervous the first time my dogs went out as I have never used a dog walker before, but I had nothing to worry about, Barbara kept intouch texting a couple of times during the walk which put my mind at ease. My initial reason for getting a dog walker was only for 8wks while I looked after my sons dog which had just had puppy's, but my dogs just loved their walk with Barbara so we continue for about 6 months I would highly recommend her services Thanks again for helping me out x🐾
Used barbara for our exciteable labrador, lexi since easter 2016. She has a great relationship with her and always updates us on how she is getting on. I can be confident that lexi will get an exciting and fun walk while i am at work.
Barbara is always very flexible and manages to make time for my German shepherd Jess even when I give her a days notice which is great for me and working around my shifts.
Thank you very much for your review Caroline, I am so pleased that you and your beautiful pet are both happy with my services, It is incredibly appreciated. Kind regards - dapper dogs x
