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.

Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
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!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
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.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them 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!
Cannot recommend muddy paws enough! Everytime I leave my dog with them I know he is safe, happy and having the best time. When he stays overnight I get the best updates of him playing and having fun! Would not go anywhere else! Highly recommend 🐾 …
Archie loves going to daycare to see his friends every week! The regular photo updates throughout the day are fab. He comes home exhausted! Emily and Lucy are great and I trust them wholeheartedly!
Muddy Paws is a home away from home for our dog! From boarding to daycare, he loves it and is happily rushing to their front door each time. He has the best time with his doggy friends and thoroughly enjoys! The pictures and regular updates are incredible and the staff love each dog like they are their own! I can’t recommend Muddy Paws enough!
My two Cavapoos absolutely adore Lucy and Emily at Muddy Paws, they can’t wait to get there on their daycare days to see their 🐶🐶friends …
I couldn’t recommend Muddy Paws more. My dogs have been going there for both day care and boarding for years. They love it there, and have the best time! Lucy and Em really care about dogs, and are fantastic with them. They go out of their way to help you too!!! One time we got stuck on holiday because of flight delays, and they picked up extra food and kept the dogs for longer. I’ve used over days cares, but Muddy Paws are by far THE BEST!!
Muddy Paws are the BEST! Our choc lab Autumn has boarded with Lucy and Emily twice now and has returned a very happy dog who has obviously had a holiday of her own and really enjoyed it! They are wonderful with dogs, keep in contact with you with lots of pix and updates about your dog and we recommend them 100%. You can be sure that your fur baby will be in the best hands and looked after as one of their own, as if they were in their own home. Thanks!
I cannot recommend the girls at Muddy Paws enough. Our dog, Hadleigh, absolutely loves them. He drags me to the door as soon as I open the car. It is so lovely knowing he is in safe hands whilst we are at work. He's also stayed over a few times and I know he is in good hands. The girls also post on their Instagram through the day so we can see what he's getting up with all his friends. He even came home with a mother's day card for me last year with his paw print which is now framed in the living room. Thank you girls for keeping Hadleigh safe and entertained when we are at work or away, he absolutely loves you xx
Our cocker Raven has been going to muddy paws since we had her. She attends for day care regularly and boarding when we need it. She is always happy going in and cannot wait to get through the doors. They regularly update us through text and social media on how she is doing. Would definitely recommend 🖤🧡
Hector stays twice a week loves it ,also stayed overnight which in other kennels didn't go down very well with his anxiety but superb here highly recommend
Muddy Paws is amazing and are the only people we'd trust to look after our dogs. Dyl & Lexi drag us to the front door when dropping them off and don't look back! They love their visits! 100% recommend to anyone looking for someone reliable to look after their dogs.
American XL Bully boarder🙌...Christine runs the most friendly dog boarding ever. Our rescue dog who's only 11 months weighs already 46kg and Christine still has him in her home. He loves this place so much, he jumps out of the car, runs across to the side path and to the back door , never even looks back to say goodbye ! He absolutely loves this farm, it's completely secure and an amazing place. Christine who owns the boarding farm , is so approachable and friendly, always giving us updates while he's there.
Linda and Mike are brilliant with our dogs (Sasha and millie) they are happy to go there. Would recommend
Lynda the owner is an expert on Yorkshire terriers. She is very caring and gets closely any potential owners to ensure that they are going to good homes. I have bought 2 dogs of Lynda and any concerns or worries over the last 10 years I have had she is only too happy to help out.
The only kennels I would use. My boys are excited going in - the tell tale sign of a great place for them to stay. Highly recommended.
My dog Denzel came from Linda at Knockingstone Kennels. He was half Dachshund and half Yorkie. I called him a Yordach. He was born on 9 January 2003 and he died on 16 July 2019. We met when he was about 8 weeks old and I was 58. I collected him from Linda 2 weeks later and we were besotted from then on. He was very ill and would have died but for a superb vet at Burry Port. Den spent most of his life in France where he was reared by British cats Thomas and Paisley who taught him kitten games and how to dig up mice and bring them back to me. When he grew up he looked after many kittens that we adopted. He was cremated and put in a grey and silver casket by a very kind French vet. I'm coming back to the Lanelli area and my beautiful boy is coming with me. Di Childs
Simply fantastic great kennels lovely people Only problem didn't know iff my dog wanted to come home with me ha ha
Cannot recomend the place higher. My dogs LOVE the place and they love Linda too.
Amazing, took great care of our dog. Much appreciated
Best care ever nothing too much trouble
Wouldn't leave my Yorkies anywhere else. X
Fantastic home from home boarding. We can’t recommend enough. Snoop is always so pleased to see Jon & Minty, we love receiving the photos & updates of his adventures. Professional & well run, thank you guys for making going on holiday without Snoop easy.
Our two whippets have just spent four days at Hound Minded Sighthound Hotel and I can honestly say it was a fantastic experience (for the dogs and us!) We were really anxious beforehand about having to board them for the first time ever, but Jon and Minty's genuine care and dedication really shone through from the minute we dropped them off. They took time to understand the dogs needs and preferences and it was clear that they had lots of experience with sighthounds which immediately put our minds at ease. We received daily updates and photos which was a lovely touch and so reassuring for us. It was clear that the dogs weren't missing us one bit! They had regular, varied walks and it was so great to see how much they were enjoying their stay. Jon and Minty's commitment to keeping us informed really allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying about the dogs too much at all. We couldn't be happier with the service provided. Our dogs were so happy during their stay and it was such a positive, stress-free experience. We can't recommend Hound Minded Sighhound Hotel any more highly to any sighthound owner looking for an exceptional, safe and caring environment for their dog. Thank you so much for treating Marvin and Marilyn like family (and for sharing your hammock, rocking chair and bed with them!) They can't wait for their next holiday with you already! ❤️
Minty and Jon were absolutely fab with our two boys. One of our dogs can be anxious around new people but he took to them straight away which gave us reassurance they would be well looked after. Other reviews have said it’s a home from home for sighthounds and it really is. They take time before the stay to understand your dogs routine and any little quirks they may have. They provided us with lots of lovely updates of walks and sofa cuddles. We would definitely use them again in the future.
The most perfect place to leave your hound, we went away on holiday knowing Sammy was content and safe having his own perfect little trip snoozing with his new friend. Cannot recommend Hound Minded enough !!
Amazing little stay for my pooch, she was so happy to arrive and a little sad to leave, amazing people! Was so at ease leaving my dog with Minty and Johnathan. 10/10!!
Our Greyhound always has a fantastic time at Hound Minded. Minty & Jon take such good care of her, she's always reluctant to come home! It's so reassuring to know we can relax on our holiday knowing she's having a lovely time.
Never been so happy to leave my girl anywhere! Dotty is a really nervous girl, so I'm really anxious about leaving her anywhere, but from the off, Jon and Minty make you feel so comfortable and that they ways have your dog's best interests at heart. They make sure they meet you first, to make sure your dog is ok with theirs and that they're a good fit, they take on board everything you say about your dog's wants and needs and particular quirks and foibles, and they take into account the fact that sometimes, a strange house and strange people has an effect on your dog's anxiety and reactions, so they adjunct routines accordingly (always with the best of communication) to make sure your dog has the most comfortable and amazing time without you. I cannot recommend them enough; I know my dog is... Quirky! And anxious, and very fussy with her food and with the company she keeps, sometimes, and Jon and Minty have really gone out of their way to make sure she has the best of times with them, and I'm so, so grateful. They're worth their weight in gold, it's literally home from home, probably even better, because Dotty wasn't as thrilled as I imagined her to be when I went to pick her up 😂 Massive thanks to Hound Minded Sighthound Hotel. And for offering a taxi service next time, too. Amazing, they truly love the hounds ❤️
Very friendly, caring, and experienced hound lovers - my whippet cross had a wonderful holiday with Minty and Jon and their own hounds. He enjoyed long walks, playtime in the garden and lots of snuggles on the sofa. Sighthound paradise :-)
Hound Minded are extremely experienced and trusted professionals. They have looked after our dogs on a number of occasions and have never let us down. Their in-depth knowledge of the needs and behaviours of our lurchers has meant that they were able to look after both our dogs who have complex behavioural issues. We met Jonathan through a rescue organisation and so we knew we could trust him with our dogs explicitly. The boys always enjoyed and came back exhausted and happy. We were kept up to date with pictures and messages which put our anxieties at bay. They are fairly priced and communication was quick.
What a wonderful find it was when I spotted Hound Minded when looking for dog carers for my much cherished whippets. They go from home to home (in their opinion home to better home!). Exceptionally caring service; both Minty and Jon are born dog whisperers.. Highly recommended
Janine is so welcoming and friendly. Our dog Barney went to stay with her whilst we went away. He had not stayed before and is quite a clingy dog. When we arrived, Janine came out and welcomed us and greeted Barney by name and took him and us into her home to show us around so that we could see where he was staying. We went away with peace of mind that he was being well looked after. During the visit, Janine let us know how he was doing which was good. On return Janine handed over Barney, taking time to tell us how he had been and not just rushing us off. Thank you Janine…. We will be back soon xxx
Janine is just wonderful we needed a home boarder for our 10 year old black Labrador whilst we went on holiday for a week and nothing was too much trouble we had regular updates throughout the week.. and although he was happy to have us home he was in no rush to leave!! would 100% recommend and will definitely use again in the future. thank you so much for taking such great care of Hendrix!
Janine, from cwtches and cuddles, was kind enough to take our dog on extremely short notice. Both Janine and her partner are lovely and very happy to spend time cuddling and walking our dog, who can sometimes be very excitable! Really lovely home for Nixi to be in for the week! Thank you, she'll be coming back soon for her next holiday ❤️
Perfect from start to finish. We were let down by someone who was going to stay at our home with cookie. We were told about cwtches and cuddles by our friend. We phoned and talked to a lovely lady called janine We arranged everything with her and she made it very easy for us to be put at ease about our beauty. While we were away we were kept in touch via wats app with photos videos showing how cookie was looked after and integrating with the other dogs. It was a relief to see and watch our dog being v well cared for and looked after. When we collected cookie she was well groomed and smelled beautiful. Thank you janine for putting us at ease. Will definitely use you again. Love cookie, Pete and Michelle xxx
This is the second time we have entrusted Alfie, our King Charles Cavlier spaniel, to the care of Janine. It was very obvious that he was pleased to see her again, and the videos she sent to us showed that he was very happy in the company of her and her own dogs. Janine has a gorgeous, secluded and safe garden, and we know that Alfie was well walked and fed (a King Charles lives for food!). Thank you, we were able to relax, confident that Alfie was in the very best possible care. We will leave him with you again - he would never forgive us if we did not.
My dog has never stayed away from home ever !! When I met janine I could see that she is a perfect dog lover . My little milo was besotted with her . She made our holiday and little holiday extra special. I Will highly recommend CWTCHES & CUDDLES . It is what it says in the title . Home from home ! . Milo is looking forward to going back for his stay next week x
My Shihtzu's Rio and Roni had a lovely couple of days with Janine. She is warm and Friendly and took really good care of them. IRio and Roni look forward to coming to stay again. I would definitely recommend your fur babies staying @Cwtvhes and Cuddles with Janine 💖 …
A lovely place, my boy was a happy tired lad when I brought him home.
The staff very frindly and l like it it's The best.
Thank you soo much x
If I could give Bont Elliot Boarding 10 stars I would. Having known Karen for a number of years through work and Ollie our cocker spaniel enjoying his holidays with her. Karen's dedication to providing the perfect home from home boarding for your beloved dogs is second to none. They will be extremely well cared for, loved unconditionally and spoilt most definately! 😄 Whatever your dogs needs are they will be well catered for at Bont Elliot Boarding. ❤
Karen has to be the best doggy aunty going. She loves all animals and that's a big thumbs up in my books. She's caring, understanding and treats all her guests like her own,.. You turn up as strangers but always leave as friends. Amazing place. I wouldn't leave my dogs with anyone else. Highly recommended 😊 …
Karen is absolutely amazing! After a bad experience with another boarder, we found Karen after many recommendations. Our 1 year old black Labrador Finn was extremely nervous going to a boarders house again but, Karen has been amazing with him. She builds up his confidence more and more every time and now he doesn’t want to leave when we go to collect him! She sends regular pupdates and when he hasn’t been well, she knows exactly what to he gets the best care possible. Thank you Karen, it means the world to us that we can go away and know that Finn is happy and in the best of hands.
Thrilled by the level of care and love Karen gave my dog. She was amazing at keeping in touch even though I was on the other side of the world (Australia). I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to home board their precious dog.
Karen is such a caring and knowledgeable individual who loves dogs. Her garden and outdoor play area has all that any dog needs to play in a safe and secure environment. My dog is anxious but soon settled under Karen's calming influence. Regular pictures were sent to me to reassure me and i could see that he was comfortable and calm. I certainly would recommend Karen and her business to anyone asking my dog was constantly smiling in all the pictures 🥰
Karen is a very approachable and friendly border. When you meet Karen it is clear that she is passionate about animals and cares for the dogs like they are her own. I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog receives from Karen, and I enjoy the updates with photos of my dog whilst he is on his holiday. Diolch Karen
My two dogs love going to stay with Karen… they go through the gate and don’t look back which means so much that they enjoy going to stay with her. Karen provides my dogs with so much care and attention,nothing is to much trouble … I wouldn’t send them anywhere else and when I’m away on holiday I feel relaxed knowing they are in her care .
Karen is such a kind caring person who loves all the dogs in her care unconditionally. Our girls settle so well there and it’s lovely when we have the doggy updates from Karen. Highly recommend xx
I cannot rate Bont Elliot highly enough! Karen is so kind and caring with all of the animals. I was terrified to leave Nev for the first time but he had a ball. I had updates to put my mind at rest, and when he went back the second time, he ran in without a second look back. He’s looking forward to his holiday in November :) xxx
Holidays were on hold until Karen was recommended to us. We went to meet Karen and left there totally confident that Oscar would be in safe hands. We haven't looked back. We go on holidays relaxed knowing that all his needs are catered for. The little updates we get are a lovely bonus. Thank you Karen
Merryl came and looked after our two very spoilt dogs last weekend. Never having met her before apart from a video call I was a bit apprehensive, but all my reservations immediately disappeared as soon as she arrived. My parson Russel terrier is very highly strung and needs attention all the time , and my little Jack Russel was a rescue dog so is very nervous on meeting new people , but both dogs took to Merryl straight away . Merryl sent various photos of the dogs having playtime and when they were resting so I felt reassured that they were settled in her care . I would not hesitate to recommend Merryl to look after your fur babies and your home ❤️
Merryl has sat for us a few times now and as always, does a fantastic job looking after our two fur baby cats. A reliable, trusted and professional service is always delivered and we are always able to completely enjoy our time away knowing our cats are being well looked after. Our home is always left clean and tidy, and also very looked after whilst we are away. We are so pleased we have found trustworthy sitters that just love spending time with our cats.
Amazing service. Merryl sat for us for 2 weeks whilst we were away and did an excellent job at looking after our home and two house cats. She arrived early to understand more about our babies' routines and had video called prior to that to introduce herself. Merryl was very dependable and made us feel very calm during our trip, sending updates every so often so we knew our cats were OK. We will definitely leave our cats with Merryl again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Our home was also well cared for and it was amazing to leave our home and cats in Merryls care knowing that they were safe.
We were nervous about having a dog sitter looking after our precious little dogs, Rita & Lula, who are only 18 months old. It was our first time away from them and we really wanted to ensure they would be well cared for. We had visited boarding kennels, but knew that was not an option for us!!! Leaving the girls in their own home, was by far the best solution! After some research we were recommend Running Duck Pet Services. We were advised that Merryl would be our dog sitter and as soon as we met her, we knew the girls would be well cared for. Whilst away, we had a daily update from her, which was very reassuring. It put our minds at rest and enabled us to relax and enjoy our holiday, knowing they were happy. We have already booked Merryl for next year too and would definitely recommend the Running Duck Services!!
Merryl came to look after our dog Skye and elderly cat Fluffy for the weekend. We were so pleased with the care and attention she gave to them both. Merryl also looked after our home, which was spotless upon our return. Thank-you so much, we knew both of our much loved pets were in very safe hands. This made the weekend for us even more enjoyable.
Merryl was lovely, the dog and three cats took to her quickly. There were no issues whilst we were away and we received regular updates including photos. I would definitely book Merryl again!!
It's been so easy to organise our pet sitting requirements - everyone was very helpful and worked hard to understand and meet our specific needs. Merryl was great and really friendly - we have a very anxious dog, but she was able to win him round with a calm and unfussy approach. Would definitely recommend and would use again.
It was so lovely to know our 4 legged family were being cared for lovingly whilst we were away on holiday. Communication, before, during and after was exemplary, and we returned early evening to all our pets having had all their cares completed and a spotless house. Thank you so much Merryl. We will be calling on your services again.
Very pleased with the service provided by Merryl from Running Duck. Arrived bang on time, fed and watered all the animals and gave us regular updates whilst we were away for 4 days. Highly recommended.
Meryl was superbe, flexible and I’ll of love for our animals and home!
Having found Brnteg Boarding Kennels online, I was very pleased with the service. I left my dog 'Jack' at the Kennels, whilst me and my partner visited Pembrey Park for the weekend. The manager was very welcoming, friendly and professional. I would recommend Brynteg Boarding Kennels and shall be using them again. Thank You.
I left my dog at the Brynteg Boarding kennels and found the place excellent. The kennels were well kept and the manager very friendly. I would recommend the kennels to anyone who wants to leave their dog in safe hands.
Jen is such a lovely lady who really loves animals. Our 2 dogs have stayed twice and have been really happy and well looked after.
Very friendly, clean and happy place
Our Lurcher Bryn goes for regular Daycare at Barkers. OK, I have to admit Bryn is the loveliest dog in the world, so of course he could be marked out for special attention but he is treated just the same as all others there. Like Royalty! It's the most amazing place for dogs. In fact I would love to go there be be treated so well in such gorgeous surroundings. This is a photo the owner sent me after his day there today. When we finally get to organise a holiday away for us, there is no doubt where he will be going! Barkers!!
We couldn’t have been happier with the care our puppy received. It was a big step for us to use day care, but Barkers were friendly and reassuring. Dougie had a great day, Helen sent photos during the day and at the end of the day sent an amazing video compilation of his day! We used Barkers as we were holidaying in the area, I only wish we lived closer! Thanks again, I would have no hesitation in recommending
Barkers is truly outstanding! The venue itself is absolutely fantastic with all home comforts , play barn and so much more! Helen and Kim’s care and thoughtfulness is second to none! I can’t praise them enough !
Dog paradise! Barkers look after your dog like its their own. Everything that your dog wants from the amount of walks they've got on their land to the indoor play area incase it's too wet to take the dogs out is designed with dogs in mind. Absolutely perfect safe and happy place for dogs. I wouldn't take mine anywhere else.
Excellent in every way! My dog Pebble loves it at Barkers, and is so well cared for. Thank you so much Helen, Kim and team. I have complete confidence leaving her with you
This business is the bee's knees of dog care. Our 7mth old retriever puppy has had wonderful care there, both at day care and overnight. His behaviour has improved in leaps and bounds and he is learning how to play properly and that we are his owners, not other dogs! His respectfulnness has increased. The girls who look after him are fab, end of! Can't recommend them highly enough.
This must be the best place ever to leave your furry friend. @choco_gina loves it here. Her auntie Helen spoils her rotten, games In the dog barn, walks in the woods, furry pals to play with, curled up by the Aga. Gina says her fur mom and dad can go away and know she will be looked after better than any kennels.
Great place to take your dog. Helen clearly has a great love for dogs and they love her in return. Wonderful facilities and a warm welcome.
Wonderful place. All the dogs are loved and the facilities are the best I've seen. Wouldn't leave my dog anywhere else.
Barkers is the most amazing place my dogs absolutely love it there and they come home happy and content and eager for their next play day.
We were looking for boarding kennels for our 2 Husky cross dogs and wanted somewhere with experience of large breed dogs. It is the first time they have been in kennels and we were a bit anxious but the kennels were fantastic. We visited with our dogs before hand and the kennels are immaculate, the pens are large and have a sleeping area & an outside area. Our dogs were in the same pen so there was no worry of them being anxious of separation. They were walked & were very well looked after. Amanda and Claire are friendly and have an excellent knowledge of dogs. We will be boarding our dogs with them again and definitely recommend them.
I put my dog to stay with best friends k9 hotel from the 20th - 24th of December 24. Staff were extremely lovely. My dog who doesn't normally like other dogs was kept kept separate to others at all times but seemed really relaxed and happy even with hearing all the other dogs. The facilities were extremely clean and all dogs looked really well cared for. And a sweet little extra they made up little christmas jars of treats for the dogs to take home. My dog loves them :) would definitely use again. Thank you all
This was the first time I had to leave my 3 collies in any kennels and I was very nervous about it, especially when one of them just had been neutered and was still in recovery. We had an emergency which demanded that we go to France for 5 days. I explained about the patient to the very kind ladies Amanda and Claire and they were so understanding about keeping a special eye on Carlie and her wound and stiches. The kennels are very wide. We had 2 collies in one and the patient on her own in another, next to the other two. The kennels were in fact in two parts. The''bedroom'' facing the corridor, and the ''lounge'' which overlooked the fields. The bedroom part was heated and kept semi dark to enable sleep. We left details of medicines and diet habit. Everything was followed to the letter. The two ladies are very knowledgeble about dogs and very caring. The dogs were happy to see us of course, but they were not phased by their stay and I think would not have minded too much if they had to stay longer. My first time in kennels for my fur babies has been a good experience with Best Fiends K9 hotel and I would not hesitate to bring my doggies to them again, I would recommend them very highly. The only bad bit is the road leading to the kennels needs a lot of TLC which I am sure will be sorted in due course.
Very efficient and clean with top notch facilities and care. Our 2 dogs have stayed a couple of times now and we will certainly be using Best Friends again at some point in the not too distant future.
The team here are great, our girls settle every time they visit and we know they're well looked after. We were nervous about how they might cope because one of our dogs is a rescue but they put our minds at rest and nothing is too much for the team!
Nothing but pure professionalism. Our Labradoodle was well looked after in a fantastic clean, happy environment. Would definitely recommend and we will be booking in the future
Our labrador Gracie seemed to have a lovely time. Very happy on pickup. We were informed that she had settled well during her week which was reassuring to hear. Very friendly staff, many thanks
We have a nervous Lab and an extremely stupid Lab and they absolutely loved their stay. Treats provided, walks across open farm land, warm and cosy kennels. Definitely recommend!!!
This place is fantastic! Having tried many over the years, this one stands miles above the rest. It's always impeccably clean, the customer service is exceptional – they've been incredibly accommodating whenever I've needed to make changes to my bookings. Most importantly, my dogs genuinely seem happy there, which is quite a feat considering one of them is usually hard to please. They appear calm, and their routines must be well-maintained, as we haven't noticed any behavioral changes like we have at other kennels.
Totally made to feel at ease about leaving my dog there, I was so anxious that she would hate it but she was so content when I picked her up. I will be using K9 kennels again in the future. Excellent service.
Great guy who takes care of our little pup twice a week. The trust was immediately right at the first meeting so we went ahead and booked Marcus in there and then. We get regular photos and videos on the days that he comes to visit which makes us feel at ease knowing that our dog is in good hands whilst we're at work. We think that Marcus is communicative and professional and most importantly, Archie the puppy really likes him too.... and his laces
Thank you for your review 😁 …
