Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
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!
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!!:)
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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!
Absolutely brilliant! Everything we could have wished for in a dog sitter. Ann creates a welcoming and loving home from home , our dog loves her and we had regular updates of all the fun and adventures they were having. I know our dog would be more than happy to visit and stay with her again. Thank you so much Ann.
Ann cares for many dogs in her own home and treats every single one of those as though they are her own. If you're looking for somewhere for your beloved family member - like the business name - this business really is 'home from home'. Lots of cuddles and love to be had when your dog comes to stay! (Photos of our GSD Murphy recently on a walk with Ann)
Ann is absolutely fantastic. It's clear to see she loves dogs (even the nutty ones like ours). Our dogs go crazy when we pull up on to Ann's drive which is testament to how much they love it with her. I wouldn't trust anyone else to care for them now. They are treated like Queens and have no trouble seeing the back of us when we drop them off for a stay. We see regular pictures of them during their stay and we're completely at ease knowing how happy they are. Thank you so much Ann 🐶
Where do I start?.. our boy Hugo is our fur baby! 🐶 So when we started the search to find someone to look after him it became a daunting task!! That was until I stumbled across Ann of Telford Home from Home Boarding. From my first message, I just had a gut feeling that this was the perfect place! It’s not very often you’ll find someone who will look after your beloved pooch as good as you do yourself but how wrong was I?.. Ann welcomed Hugo into her home and bonded instantly with him. Going above and beyond to look after our boy! He’s one fussy eater and he’s spoilt (which is our own doing) but Ann treats him like a prince! 👑 Cooking him chicken and even feeding it to him by hand to give us peace of mind that he’s eating. Daily walks and an abundance of love and cuddles 🤍 Most days we’d receive pupdates 📸 with pictures and videos without even having to ask which is so reassuring and priceless when you’re far away! This allowed us to switch off a little and relax which after all that is what holidays are all about! Ann is a genuine, lovely lady who deserves all the credit she gets. We certainly won’t use anyone else to home board our fur baby now. He absolutely loves his time with Ann and his other furry friends he meets throughout his stay🐾 He returns back home happy with his tail wagging 🐶 After-all he’s had the best holiday himself!..and that to us means the world 🌍
After having a bad experience with a traditional kennel Ann is now the only person we will trust with Rosie. Fully certified and insured we know we can leave Rosie with Ann and she will be safe and well looked after. If anything, a bit too well looked after - she never seems to want to come home!! It's great knowing that while we enjoy our holiday, Rosie is enjoying hers.
We don't go away without Benson very often but when we do, Ann is the only person we'll leave him with. He's an older boy who likes his home comforts and cuddles and gets completely spoiled during his visits. We never have to worry about him while we're away as we know Ann understands what he needs and always goes the extra mile to ensure he's contented and safe. We're very grateful to have found someone so caring to look after him.
Ann has looked after our Otis a couple of times now and he loves it there. Anyone looking for a dedicated, friendly and loving dog carer then we can highly recommend Ann.
We won’t let anyone else care for our dog when we go away. Gemma is happy and well cared for during her stay. It has been five years since we first met Ann. She is a lovely honest lady and makes sure everything is in order etc
I fully recommend Telford Home from Home Dog Boarding. Feel rest assured your dog is in safe hands. Ann treats all the dogs as though they were her own. Make sure you book well in advance as this is a popular choice by many.
If Ann isn't available, we don't go away it's as simple as that. She cares passionately about all the dogs she looks after, to the extent that informing her that my old labrador had passed away was one of the hardest calls I ever had to make. She currently boards my old terrier (who could start a fight in an empty house,) and my Bosnian rescue (who's scared of her own shadow.) She gives them both the individual care they need.
We cannot recommend Viv & Hayley (We Love Pets) highly enough after recently using these guys to look after our three dogs and house sit whilst we were away on holiday for one week. Prior to us going away Viv & Hayley visited a couple of times to go through details and to meet the dogs. We we highly impressed of their professionalism and level of detail they went into with us - most importantly for us, we felt very comfortable after meeting them and was able to establish a lot of trust, this was so important for us as this was the first time of us using a dog & house sit service - and of course it was important that our dogs were really happy around them, and they instantly were 😊 Whilst we were away we received daily updates and pictures whilst out on their walks and playing etc. Everything looked lovely at home on our return, which was was fabulous to see and our dogs looked very happy, very well looked after & well fed 🐶🐶🐶 Viv & Hayley also made sure that our garden hanging baskets had been watered daily, dustbins sorted, and left us fresh milk in the fridge for our return, which was fab as we came home very late at night. We will definitely be using Viv & Hayley again. Overall we were extremely happy with the service they have provided, which was a first class service. Viv & Hayley, can’t thank you enough, Rob & Loraine, Bella, Bonnie & Rocky 🐶😊🐶
Viv and her team have made such a positive difference to us all! We know from how our pets are that they will be happy to see them when we can't be there ourselves. Our Yorkie loves his walks and all the fuss he gets. Our cat was naturally cautious at first but now poses for photos as if she approves of her nice clean litter tray and her favourite food. Viv and team have been so kind and reliable. Happy pets, happy family!
We have had an amazing experience with the walks by Viv and reg for our dog Bluebell. Viv always makes the effort to accomodate any extra walks at short notice. Our dog is quite nervous of strangers and other dogs so we are able to have 1:1 walks. We know Bluebell is in safe and experienced hands and both Viv and reg are very kind and trustworthy. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Great, friendly and helpful service. My dog had an initial assessment meeting and has always been introduced to new walkers. My neighbours reports the walkers are great with my dog, and that she always has a curled up waggy tail. It is easy to communicate with Viv. A range of other services, such as home boarding, is available.
I would give 5 stars to the hosts who looked after our dogs as they were excellent and treated them like their own. But the communication with We Love Pets was poor. Having been told which host we were going to be placed with we were not told that he had quit so she was looking for another host. We were only told because I wanted to book a couple of trial days with him, but if I hadn't we would have been kept in the dark. My step daughter had her dog booked with the same host and was never told that he wouldn't be available. She only knew because we told her, and she waited weeks to hear about it, and contacted We Love Pets in the end. Any text messages we got were short. I got a text the day before we were due to take the dogs to the hosts asking for the balance and asking if I was still hoping to drop the dogs off. A bit late in the day to ask that. Our dogs are family to us and it was the first time we were leaving our rescue dog, so we were really nervous. The lack of information wasn't reassuring.
Needed to set up some regular walks at shortish notice. Viv and the team sorted it out super quickly and really professionally. Would 100 recommend and will be using again in the future as needed. Many thanks.
Viv is always reliable and great at returning messages at such short notice when we've needed her services. She has been fab with our puppy Otis (mini daschund). Would highly recommend!
Just been away for 5 days and Viv looked after our house cat. She came twice a day and kept us updated and even sent a couple of photos! Very happy with the service had a worry free break, knowing that our cat was happy in her own environment, and had the added comfort of the house being checked twice a day. Will definitely use Viv's service again. Highly recommend!
Viv walked and fed our 2 dogs while we were away. Sent pictures and kept us updated. Extremely happy with the service and would definitely use again
Brilliant service from We Love Pets. They are fabulous with our cockapoo, he loves his walks and occasional day care service too. He loves meeting other dogs and getting lots of fuss off new humans. It was easy to arrange care for our dog through We Love Pets, I will definitely continue to use them.
My puppy Milo stayed for his first overnight, we received regular photo updates to put our mind at ease and Kerrina went above and beyond to make sure he settled and had the best time possible. A great and personable service where you can be sure your dog is treated as a member of the family.
Perfect home from home stay for your beloved four legged friends. You can be confident that Kerrina and Tony will always provide 100% care.
The most amazing dog boarding place you'll ever find. Your dog will feel as if they are at home and you have peace of mind that they are being loved and cared for as if it was you.
Kerrina walks my dogs and she is brilliant and my dogs love her. She is flexible and reliable and would not choose anyone else.
Fabulous care of our little girls, top marks for making them feel at home whilst we were away.
Ive not used this place but she was brilliant and offerd to help me out at short notice
Lovely couple home from home
Not much of what i wanted really
Bostin likes it.
Would not recommend Barklife at all. We used last year and had lots of problems. Dog was left in the house for 8 hours a day, then not even taken out for a walk once she was home. Left loads of dog mess in the garden on artificial grass. Didn't follow any of the notes we had left in regards to feeding etc. Loads of takeaway bags/boxes in the kitchen. Sink full of stuff. Left butter and bread all over the sides. AWFUL, DO NO USE!!!!
Shame no option for 0 stars. Not my review but another lady who can't seem tofind the page to share. Sounds like a terrible experience with proof also. By the looks of other reviews this has been done alot. Disgusting behaviour in someone home. I would avoid at all costs especially of you love your pets.
Absolutely disgusting service, would never use again if you love your dogs this service abused my friends home and didn’t even walk the dogs! If you love your dogs don’t let this shambles of a company do your pet sitting pure animal neglect
Kate is fantastic with all the dogs she looks after. She has our German Shepherd every week and he loves it
Scout loves his walks twice a week, fab service, would recommend to everyone!
If Google allowed me to give more stars, then we definitely would, 5 is not enough and they deserve more 🤩 K9 Anytime is the pawfect place for our little Jasper, he has the most attentive care and is absolutely worn out by the end of the day, often falling asleep within minutes of being collected 💤 We were recommended K9 Anytime from a friend and I have nothing but praise for all of the friendly and knowledgeable staff who make the job seem completely effortless whilst caring for not just our dog, but all of the dogs that we see on the newly refurbished car park 🤗 Allowing you to visit them without booking is an added bonus, as are the the dog treats, hotel and grooming facilities 🐕🦺 We can't wait for the new site to open in 2025 and will continue to tell as many people as we know about the wonderful service that everybody provides; long may they continue, well done to all of you and thank you for everything you do 💖
Benni has been going to K9 since he was a tiny pup and he loves it. The experience and knowledge of the team is evident, along with the facilities, care and attention provided to the fur babies who attend. Benni is a sociable, confident, almost 2 year old, who attends K9 for fun. The extensive range of quality, edible goodies is an added bonus.
Rupert has been attending K9 for almost a year now, and we couldn’t be more grateful to the person who recommended them to us. It’s easily the highlight of his week - he gets so excited as soon as we turn into the lane and he spots the team, who genuinely treat every dog like their own. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s well cared for, and it’s such a joy to see him living his best dog life through the updates on K9’s socials. Since welcoming a new baby into our family, being able to send Rupert to K9 has been a lifesaver. It eases the “dog parent guilt” knowing he’s getting so much love, attention, and exercise while we adjust to this new chapter. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive - they’ve provided us with invaluable advice on introducing Rupert to the baby and have been there to help with anything else we’ve needed. We also made the switch to a raw diet for Rupert after speaking with the team about its benefits. He even got to try it out during a daycare session, and the difference it’s made has been amazing - we haven’t looked back since! K9 is truly one of a kind. We can’t recommend them highly enough!
K9 Anytime “Daycare” always gets a better response than “Walkies” or “dinner time”. It’s Hunties favourite place and he loves the interaction and mental stimulation that’s provided. The staff are lovely and gives you peace of mind that they look after them like they are their own. Dog people! The best people.
Defo 5 stars for the K9 team! My 3 dogs have been coming for a few years. Each is treated as an individual. One of my rescues has human issues but she is really happy going here and there have never been any problems. My elderly dog is treated with extra care and respect and given time away from the crowd for a nanny nap. The grooming is excellent and all my dogs are comfortable with various treatments thanks to respectful handling. We also use the hotel every time we go away and are always 100% confident that they are safe, happy and well cared for. The team here is exceptional and all obviously love dogs. Huge respect for Tom and Luke for the vision and team they have created.
Why K9 Anytime? Whether it's overnight stays when you want reassurance that your pooch is being as well looked after and pampered as you are or daycare, where, quite simply, they have the best time just being dogs. You just couldn't ask for more from the K9 Anytime team. My 2 older dogs have grown in confidence and are far more social as well as being fitter since attending daycare.
My rescue dog has been going to K9 Anytime for a couple of years now. He gets excited as soon as we turn into the lane and I know he loves going which gives me peace of mind. The staff are incredible, they give me updates on how he’s been and, after he was neutered, provided training which got him back to walking on a lead without pulling and passing other dogs with ease. It’s now a pleasure to walk him. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else.
K9 anytime are always so amazing with my doggy and I trust the staff so much. I have been taking my dog to k9 anytime since he was 10 months old and he is 6 now. Totally reliable and they know how important our dogs are to us. Also knowing every dogs personality individually. Means the world to me and I couldn’t be without them! Thank you so much ❤️
What can I say!! Absolutely blown away by the care our puppy has received from this amazing team! From the first day, he has thoroughly enjoyed his time at day care and gets so excited when he arrives. It gives us peace of mind that he is having the best day whilst not with us! His 1-1 training is coming on in leaps and bounds and is evident in his behaviour on a daily basis at home. Our pooch is looking forward to his future hotel stays ❤️ K9 is one big happy family! Thanks so much!
K9 Anytime is beyond outstanding in every way. The staff are fantastic and very professional. They are so friendly and caring and passionate about caring for the dogs and have a true empathy and understanding of them. My dog loves going there and he loves the people there, seeing the tail wagging and the excitement to go is his own testimonial. The environment and facilities are brilliant and everything is geared towards the dogs. I can not praise K9 enough
Auntie Beth is brilliant!
Amazing! My dog absolutely loves it here and is so excited to visit. Karen is fantastic with the dogs. Highly recommend.
Percy had a fabulous first day with Karen meeting Milo and all his new friends , knowing & seeing from videos and photos that Karen posts during the day is so reassuring that my precious boy is happy and in safe hands. We’ve already booked in for more visits. Fantastic service Thankyou .
My Best Friend North Shropshire is a wonderful find! Karen’s home and garden are brilliantly adapted to make dogs feel comfortable and she is very practical, knowledgeable and caring.
I couldn’t wish to have found such a wonderful kind and caring dog loving lady. Amber never wants to leave Karen’s care and has so much fun. I know my dog is in safe, caring hands.
Karen provides an excellent service and my dog was very happy during his stay and came home relaxed and rested.
My dog loves to go there.
First class dogs came back very happy
Many thanks!
