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.

I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
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!
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.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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!
Our two have been with and walking for just over a year. They both absolutely love the team coming to take them out every day and really enjoy their rambling adventures! So much so if they hear some of the walkers they abandon us and run to them! 🤣 Couldnt recommend enough Waggin and Walkin and really sad that as were moving away we wont be able to keep using. Thank you so much for taking care of our two fuzzy nightmares 🐾🐾🐾
Wonderful dog walking business! My dog has gained a lot of confidence since joining the group walks. I can tell she has had a wonderful time from her excitement when her Auntie Leanne collects her, to the contented nap when she is dropped off (Leanne will give her a quick clean when necessary). She was a shy pooch but likes to play, run and sniff. I can see that she is well cared for, and I love the "report" that I get with each walk and the photos that come with them. Thoroughly recommend!
Jayne and her team are outstanding. We have used Waggin and Walkin for 4 years and Jayne has supported us prior to, during (when permitted) and since, lockdown. They are a highly skilled and a knowledgable team of professionals and my two dogs just adore Jayne and Karen. I’ve received exceptional comms, advice add support, and they bend over backwards to help us accommodate our two fury cockapoos. They give walk updates too and take super photos. You will not be disappointed and your investment in your pooches will be worth it!!
Bella loves her weekly walks with her Waggin & Walkin friends. She always comes home happy, relaxed and tired. It's so good for her to go out with someone other than us every day and she's a well socialised little dog. Jayne is very accommodating to our changes in working commitments and is as flexible as possible. Can highly recommend this service.
Waggin & Walkin have been spoiling my baby Vizsla for the past month and I mean this in the best possible way! From walks in the park to walks in the woods, meet ups with other lovely dogs to tennis ball games, splashing in ponds (with my permission) to off leash playtime (also after asking my permission). Our little Luna is nervous of people - a challenge many pandemic puppies are probably facing - but after just one meeting, she LOVES her aunties at W&W. Our only problem is getting her to stop wiggling and wagging when they come to pick her up so she can get her leash on. They are by far the BEST dog walkers we've ever known professional, considerate, and - as far as little Luna is concerned - the most fun people EVER. I am attaching a photo of Luna with her dog walker as I think this sums up her feelings perfectly. Thanks for being brilliant!
I have used Waggin & Walkin since having Meara as puppy, and being a 'single parent' with a demanding job I couldn't have managed without them. Waggin & Walkin provide expert advice and a real personal and individual approach. They have been so supportive, caring and attentive to her and alerting me to any concerns. Meara adores all of her walkers as if they are her family. She has also been so well socialised with meeting/playing with other dogs in Jayne's care, which she adores. I couldn't recommend Jayne and her team more highly.
We have used Jayne's services and her lovely team twice now to look after our 9 cats. I have to say that we are so impressed with the attention to detail that Jayne takes on each cats requirement including giving medication and dietary needs. While we were away we received regular text and email correspondence and also pictures to reassure us that all was well at home. If you need a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter I would strongly recommend that you contact Jayne.
Waggin and Walkin is an excellent service. They are thoroughly reliable and they ensure that my dog is well looked after and tended to whilst I am work. I simply would not be able to enjoy having my very important furry friend to the extent that I am able without their assistance.
We've used Waggin & Walkin three times a week since our pup Herbie was 6 months old (he's now nearly 3) and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. All of the dog walkers (Aunties) are lovely people who clearly love dogs and do all the training you could hope for to make sure your dog is in good hands. They're really careful and clever about creating the walking groups so that your pup is happy and they do a mix of walking and playing when they're out. I think the fact that as soon as I mention Aunties name Herbie goes excitedly running to the window to check if they're here demonstrates how much he loves them. They are also really accommodating to your dogs particular needs. They have built a beautiful relationship with Herbie and I know how happy and safe he is with them.
Waggin and Walkin have been walking our dog for the past 3 years and their service has always been outstanding. The level of professionalism the team show is second to none and I know that our dog is in very safe hands. You can really see the love and care the team have for all their doggies and our dog loves them too.
Our young cocker spaniel had the best time staying with Chris and her husband in their home! Chris asked detailed questions and his care, behaviours and any special requirements. Being first time dog owners and leaving him for the first time, we were made to feel reassured with plenty of updates and photos/videos. It was comforting to know he was happy and being well taken care of. Thank you both, and see you again I’m sure!
Chris welcomed our 5 months old puppy and looked well after her for 16 days while we were away on a short notice too. She even asked us if we do have Christmas presents for our puppy. Must say we did open them a few days earlier due to us leaving the country but I found this so sweet that quickly arranged a few more treats parcels to be opened on the Christmas day :). Christine absolutely loves dogs and you can see they are really welcomed and well looked after in her home. We were very pleased with the professionalism, great communication, dog training and love and care. Our puppy loved it there, spending amazing time, being loved by every family member. There is no where else I would leave her. Would highly recommend Pads and Paws if you like your dog to be in a loving family so you can enjoy your time off.
My dogs absolutely love coming to Chris which is so reassuring. One of my dogs is a nervous character and I always feel very confident that Chris is managing this situation - I don't ever want them to go elsewhere! Chris is lovely, always responsive to messages and easy to chat to.
My Toby was an absolute whirlwind when we first introduced him to Chris, Thanks to Chris he now has a recall!!! did I mention Toby is a beagle? (it's rare for this breed to come back when called) He can not wait to get out the car when we park up on her drive! Toby has also boarded with Chris and I would never choose anyone else to look after him, it's Home from Home Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Have left my pets in Pads and Paws on a few occasions when I have had to be away for work. The owner Chris treats the pets like they were her own and when I pick up my dog he is always happy and content. Highly recommended.
This gormless pair failed to notice my Guinea Pigs could not access water, one painfully died, the other was on the brink of death on my return. Following this, they spread malicious gossip about my private life. Be aware everyone
So accommodating, very caring, I always know my pup will have a great time and be well looked after, Chris keeps up with enrichment, and ensures you are put to ease when leaving your loving family member, keeps me updating when pup is there living her best life, would never take any dogs anywhere else if they can't be with me
The only place I would ever trust with my dog, he is treated like a Prince and loves staying with Christine. Would highly recommend
Pads and Paws always gives a 1st class service. Totally dependable and professional. Thanks for all your help!
Christine and her home. im a Muppet don't like leaving my dog. .......home from home
Crossroads Daycare has truly been a game changer for our Springer Spaniel. From the moment we toured the facility and met the team, we knew she would be in the best possible hands. The daycare offers the perfect balance of active enrichment and much-needed rest, ensuring her physical and mental well-being are fully supported. She absolutely loves her time there and always comes home happy, fulfilled, and pleasantly tired. A huge thank you to Steve, Elle, and the entire team for creating such a positive and enriching environment—it's been a fantastic addition to her routine!
Finding a good kennel for two giant breed dogs is never easy. I have boarded dogs with breeders in the past but my English Mastiff breeder is too far away now so I tried Crossroads. After a ‘test’ 24 hour stay a problem was flagged as one of my girls wasn’t eating or toiletting properly. A lesser business would have just taken the booking (& my money) but Steve & his team made sure backups were in place and I was fully advised. As things turned out, my back up didn’t respond and the kennels had to intervene as the dog was loosing weight. Luckily, she was a little overweight and with inherent hip & joint problems, weight loss was not a problem. Extra care and effort was made to ensure my dog was eating & pooing properly - which meant an extra hours 1-2-1 for her to ‘go’. Brilliant service and application of common sense along with upholding high care standards for all their boarders. Cannot recommend highly enough and already have next stay booked.
Steve and his team are great as are the facilities for the dogs. After a session getting to know our dog, we felt a lot more comfortable dropping him off knowing that he would be placed with dogs of similar temperament and needs. Our dog comes back tired, happy and most importantly, well behaved, which is testament to the enriching, positive and structured environment Steve and his team have created.
Can’t recommend the kennels enough. The staff are brilliant and caring. My dog is a rescue who isn’t great with people - he absolutely loves coming to crossroads and gets so excited when we’re approaching. He is so relaxed around all the staff and he generally doesn’t want to go near people, but he loves being fussed by everyone at crossroads. I know he’s in safe hands when I leave him there and it’s a mini holiday for him!
I have a 7 year old dog that gets very anxious in new environments so I’ve never left in the care of someone else before. However I booked him in for a trial stay to get him ready for a 10 night stay at the end of the year and when I picked him up I was expecting an anxious overstimulated dog but it was quite the opposite. He was very calm and happy as ever and I could just tell he was well looked after. Crossroads have put my mind at ease and I will so relieved knowing he will be in safe hands whilst I’m away. Highly recommend!
Amazing Puppy Training Experience I can't say enough good things about Steve and his team ant Crossroads Resort and their puppy training services! As a new puppy parent, I was a little overwhelmed with all the energy and mischievousness of my young dog. Thankfully, Steve made the whole process both effective and enjoyable—for both me and our pup! The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and patient. They took the time to understand my puppy’s unique personality, tailoring the training to suit her needs. They focused on positive reinforcement, which made learning fun and rewarding. My puppy went from nipping and jumping on guests to sitting politely and responding to basic commands in just a few weeks. The classes were well-structured, with each session building on the last. Not only do we cover the basics like sit, stay, and recall, but they also addressed leash training, crate training, and The emphasis on socialisation was fantastic; my puppy got the chance to interact with other dogs in a safe and controlled environment, which has made her so much more confident around other dogs. Perhaps the best part was that I was given the tools and confidence to continue the training at home. The trainers explained each step clearly and provided constant tips to make training easier. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly, and effective puppy training program, look no further. I highly recommend Crossroads Resort—they are truly the best!
Having managed my own kennels in the past, i can be quite picky on where my own dogs stay! However, crossroads are now my go to! Brilliant friendly service, Lulu our greyhound tells us whether she likes a kennels or not, and she LOVES this place, gets very excited on arrival and goes in as if we don't exsist and doesn't look back! I know they treat her well, and all the staff seem to love her too!
Fabulous care for our two dogs who are very precious to us. Love the fact that both dogs are very excited as soon as we turn into the gate and trot off with the Daycare team every time we arrive. The multiple areas offer massive stimulation and our dogs’ individual needs are a priority for the team. Love the photos and feedback we get on their daycare adventures. Love this place! ♥️ 🐕 🐶
We rescued a very nervous three-year-old white German Shepherd, Skye in February 2023. (Our previous rescue went to Steve’s classes where Steve was able to turn a wild, bouncy dog into a calm, loveable dog). We were absolutely over the moon when Steve said we could join his dog training classes again with Skye. Skye was absolutely petrified of anything that moved. Steve’s expertise and knowledge of all breeds is outstanding. He is Buckinghamshires own Dog Whisperer x You will not be disappointed. Steve’s hard work and dedication really pays off. Week on week you will see how all the dogs improve. He’s BRILLIANT. Steve has the BEST sense of humour … we laugh a lot during our classes and it’s always such a friendly group. Skye has grown into a confident, happy dog. You and your dog will be trained by a true professional. And you certainly won’t be disappointed. We love you Steve. Thank you for everything. xxx. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🌟🌟🌟
Having joined a wonderful group training class, Steve and the very friendly staff, have been helping my dog get used to staying in Kennels. He is easily overwhelmed and they have been super supportive. I have seen them caring for every dog as an individual and it has made all the difference to me, I can relax when away with work, knowing he's in safe hands. Simply Excellent!
Debs and her husband recently had my golden retriever Poppy to stay for a week and we can recommend! The facilities are excellent and Debs is very knowledgeable about dogs so we felt very reassured that she was in good hands. She kept us up to date daily on her activities and she came back calm and well rested
We cannot rate Charlotte highly enough. Her patience (with dog and owners) is limitless and this clearly comes from her love for her job. We are learning so many techniques to handle our reactive dog. We feel confident knowing we can handle him and that training is a long haul road. The difference in our dog already is fantastic and we know we have further to go. Charlotte is dedicated to finding root causes for behaviour and addressing those, rather than quick fix remedies.
I took my 12 week old pup for his first "big" outing with Mrs Wiggles today for some and training and socialisation and can not recommend her highly enough. Both myself and pup really enjoyed the session, and had some valuable take aways. Looking forward to the next
Charlotte’s style of training is amazing. The dogs are getting stimulated with their surroundings in areas they would experience day to day, so getting the focus and working with them in this situation is rewarding and the dogs are learning how to behave in normal circumstances. My dogs also love Charlotte, she’s fun and loving with them and I do wonder if they would rather live with Auntie Wiggles lol I would recommend Charlotte 100% with training your fur baby!
We've had a great experience scent work for beginners training. Charlotte is very knowledgeable, friendly, patient and calm and clearly loves dogs. We can't wait for the next one. 🐾🐾 …
Charlotte is without doubt the best Doggy walker, trainer and boarder I've ever come across. She exudes passion and adores her doggies. Charlotte is experienced, insured, professional and insists that every dog she accepts has been fully vaccinated and had all the right checks before she takes them on. I interviewed 6 other doggy companies and Dog Wiggles Sitters was the only one I felt assured by. Mabel absolutely adores her and Symon and I feel completely relaxed knowing she is in good hands.
We went for a 1 hour Puppy Class, where Charlotte came to our house and made some notes about our lifestyle and our pup. She advised us to make a list of things we wanted to cover so she can tailor the class. We learnt a lot of things which we now need to unlearn and apply what she has taught which will be fun! She also provided her own treats and a free gift for us to try. Highly recommend Charlotte! Thank you for our first Puppy Class!
Charlotte is fantastic and helped us so much with our puppy right from day one. We had a home visit where she taught us so much and have been going to puppy classes every since. I cannot recommend her enough no matter what you need help with she is the lady to help.
I've started scent work training with my dog. We had our second lesson today and he was so happy to be there again, I know it's a hit with him. Mrs Wiggles is a calm and supportive trainer who gives clear instructions and lots of encouragement during the lesson. We get lots of information to work with before the next class. Also having the classes a month apart give us plenty of time to work together with my dog, setting him up to succeed, and helping with our bond. We will be back, it's a big thumbs up from us.
Obi had has first puppy training class with dog wiggles sitters this morning and loved it! I’ve gained some great training tips/advice and we will definitely be back next week!
What can i say? Reliable, professional, friendly and would trust with any dog. Charlotte loves the doggies and they love her. Only stopped using the service as retired and no longer need a dog walker. Daily photos and videos sent with updates and lots of different walking areas. Fantastic service.
My dog forgets he has a loving family as soon as we get close to the kennels, he just wants to be at Folly all the time. Every time I fetch him from there, he is super tired and a happy boy. The owner is lovely and always willing to try and accommodate you. I cannot imagine taking my boy anywhere else. The staff are wonderful as well and you can see they love dogs by how they speak to each one of them.
Shadow and Zeus love staying at Folly's They always look like they've had a great holiday, leaving us with the peace of mind that they are in great hands while we enjoy our holiday. Thank you Chloe, Deborah and the team, for looking after our boys.
The first kennels I have ever put Bruce in and they have been amazing with him, the second time I took him there he started wagging his tail as soon as he saw the gates!
We have used The Folly before the last time being in 2018. Our Beagle loved staying here. Deborah, Chloe and the team are absolutely amazing and genuinely care so much about the dogs. We now have x2 rescue beagles and recently used The Folly again. They took Hugo and Milo at quite short notice as sadly we had a family bereavement. Both were looked after so well. We would highly recommend The Folly.
My dog has been here many times now, for short and longer periods for Kennels and Day Care. He cant wait to get out of the car and get in, he has a great positive experience each time. Deb and the team are always prompt and polite. The way they do their pricing is great too, basing it on a 24 hour period rather than each day for kennels.
Our dogs absolutely love it here and after one visit were really excited to be back. Deborah and team are wonderful with them. It makes a huge difference being able to leave them confident they enjoy their time and are well cared for
My dogs picked up kennel cough after spending 13 days in The Folly kennel. Had to take them to the vet. Then found out my neighbours' dogs who stayed there also came back home with kennel cough. The level of hygiene leaves much to be desired. The owner of the kennel should do something about it.
first time leaving our two small dogs jax & missy in Kennels , so we were quite apprehensive but we needn't of worried as this Kennel really looks after your pets, thank you to Deborah and the team for making sure our family were cared for whilst we were away.
I have used The Folly Kennels for years now with all my dogs it was the first time I put my new 2 dogs in there and they loved it Nala did not want to come home I would highly recommend all the stuff are great
They looked after my Ivar, so well! They gave him a home away from home and cannot fault Thier service one bit. Highly recommend as they've made the process so easy and stress free!! Give them a look you will not be disappointed 😀 …
Greg and Kirsty are dedicated and caring. They treat their guests as one of the family, and keep owners informed with emails and photos. It's really good to have peace of mind knowing that one's 4 legged friend is also having a happy holiday. Highly recommended.
Great place to go
Our dog has only recently joined the waggy tales gang and they accepted her with open arms. My dog was very nervous to start off with and would wait by the door I dropped her off at rather than going to play with other dogs. However Waggy Tales took it slow with her, starting with 2 hour sessions which we are now increasing slowly. After a few sessions, our dog now gets so excited in the car and runs straight in without me now. That is huge and tells me how much fun she has and how well looked after she is and that she is comfortable.
Ruff to Puff were absolutely amazing with our cocker spaniel! As a rescue who had been abandoned in the woods, she is very untrusting of people and we had struggled to get her groomed in the past. Despite all our worries, the two ladies here were fantastic and were very good with our dog. Will certainly be returning and would thoroughly recommend them to owners of an anxious dog!
Amazing, friendly and loving staff! Our German shepherd loves seeing the team and getting as much fuss from them as she can! The staff are so easy to talk to, and make her look even more beautiful than before she goes!
Fantastic both my dogs love Robin one dances his way through the door. Both dogs came out smelling amazing with a lovely cut and de-shed highly recommend.
I cannot recommend Waggy tales and Ruff to Puff enough. I have a nervous rescue dog called Effie and i have always been reluctant to put her into a daycare or groomer due to being worried it would stress her out too much. Waggy Tales have been FAB from day 1 of meeting them. Effie has been gradually building up her time spent at Waggy Tales daycare and i can see such a difference in her confidence. I get great updates from the team with regards to Effie's progress and its lovely to see photos and videos of the her and the other dogs having a great time during the day :) Waggy Tales staff are really patient with Effie and i feel very comfortable leaving her in their capable hands. Effie also attended Ruff to Puff Grooming recently and i am also very impressed with the service i received. They looked after Effie really well and were patient with her being a nervous girl. She looks and smells amazing!! I would recommend Waggy Tales Daycare and Ruff to Puff Grooming to anyone!!
Our pup loves his half-days at Waggy Tales, he visits twice a week for play and socialising. The team love to see him and he's always super-excited to run in and greet everyone when we drop him off. Cannot recommend highly enough if you need a daycare option for your dog, it's really easy to book and pick a time slot to meet your schedule. Once your dog has passed the initial assessment you can book each session with flexibility rather than commiting to a set period of days. Our experience is that Lydia and her team really care for our dog, and Waggy Tales is a safe and secure environment for him. There are warm spaces and sofas to chill out on as well as plenty of spaces to run around with his friends.
My puppy Louis has been attending Waggy Tales since he was around 4 months old. He absolutely loves it and as soon as he realises where he is going for the day he is so excited, and happily runs straight through to play with the other dogs when I drop him off. Staff are so friendly and they always let you know how his day was and what he got up to, and we love seeing pictures on Facebook too. I’m so pleased to have found Waggy Tales and to know Louis is in good hands when he is there. Louis always comes home so tired from his fun day. Louis has also had the puppy package from Ruff to Puff as well as a full groom. I highly recommend the puppy package, it was a great help in Louis getting used to different feelings and sounds of being groomed and now he is not bothered by it at all! Rachael is lovely and friendly, and also gave some advice on at home grooming too which was really helpful. I highly reccomend Waggy Tales & Ruff to Puff to anyone😊
We love Waggy Tales! The level of care and commitment given to these dogs is wonderful. They’re a very professional business who assess the dogs before they go and listen to any concerns. There are several lengths of session to choose between from mini plays of up to 2 hours, half days and full days. There are newsletters updating you on activities and anything else you need to know plus planned events like sports days and Halloween and Christmas photo shoots. No dog is made to do anything they’re uncomfortable with and all staff take on board info on your dogs personal quirks. Highly recommend.
Can't recommend Waggy Tales highly enough. They are just delightful. Our puppy had her first full groom with Robin and when we collected her, she looked absolutely wonderful, she was visibly happier with her shorter coat especially in this hot weather. Robin is such a wonderful groomer with a genuine love for the dogs she tends to- I wouldn't dream of taking our Pup anywhere else. They are loving, safe, reliable, trustworthy, have perfect grooming technique and are incredibly accommodating. What more could you want? Thanks again team WT. :)
We couldn’t recommend Waggy Tales enough! The staff are so unbelievably helpful, knowledgeable and just lovely people. It certainly does put our mind at ease knowing that our dog gets to spend the day having the best time and we love the photo and video updates! We always opt for a full day session, once a week. Whenever our dog leaves, his tail is always wagging and he sleeps very well afterwards! Thank you so much for the effort that you all put in to making it as fun as possible for the dogs - we loved the Halloween days this year and can’t wait for the Christmas one too! If you’re looking for a safe and friendly place for your dog to go and socialise, we would highly recommend Waggy Tales!
Kim has been taking care of our cat Neil when we go away for 6 years now and does a great job for a reasonable cost. We love the updates and photos she sends and I think Neil may now prefer her to us! Can't recommend highly enough. Professional, friendly and very obliging to even a short notice request.
We've been using Kim's pet sitting service for around a year now. She came highly recommended, and her support has been amazing. She regularly sends pics of our cats while we're away, and the cats are always in good form when we return - they seem to have enjoyed the break from us! I love that the cats can stay at home when we're away, and I trust Kim to do the right thing for them at all times. She's really well organised with regards to diary, billing and so on, and her prices are very reasonable. Definitely a happy customer!
I'm so glad I've got Pattishall Pet Sitting in my life! Kim first looked after my pair of very shy cats in February, and since then she's done so a few more times when I've gone away for short breaks or just overnight. I don't really like leaving them, but now I can do so in full confidence knowing that Kim will take care of all of their needs. It's lovely to have found such a caring and responsible cat sitter. Thank you Kim.😻
I absolutely adore Kim. She is truly a bunny superstar and I'm so grateful for all the time and effort she puts into caring for my trio each time they go to stay. I get updates on how they're getting on and can have peace of mind, knowing they're being looked after. She is utterly amazing and they never seem to want to leave to come home with me after staying there, so that must be a good sign! I could not recommend her enough if you want someone to love and take care of your pets whilst you're away
I use Pattishall Pet Sitting several times a year. I can go away knowing that my boy is safe, well looked after and that Kim will spoil him even when he is being a grump. She cares about each and everyone of her furry clients. Have used PPS for years and have recommended to family who now also use. No hesitation in recommending.
We have been using Kim to look after our cats for years and wouldn't even consider using anyone else. She takes great care of our cats and they really like her despite being very shy around most people! She is always very responsive to messages and she has even been able to help us with last minute bookings when we have needed them.
Kim took care of our cat for two weeks and we were extremely pleased with her. Our cat is very timid, always hiding whenever any person outside the family entered our house. However, Kim managed to earn her trust and approach her, keeping us updated constantly and making sure our kitten was well. We cannot recommend her enough! Thank you so much, you made our days much better knowing you took good care of her!!😀
We have been using Kim for over a year now and have been so impressed with her service. We trust her fully to look after our dog and come into our home, which isn't easy to find! She is also really reliable, communication is great and loves our dog like her own. Would recommend to anyone in the area!
We always use Kim to look after our cats and would 100% recommend her services. She is so friendly, professional and trustworthy. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies are in such good hands!
Kim was absolutely amazing, when we took our guinea pigs to her she had their set up ready and we chatted for a while about all her other current and past pets. Felt completely comfortable leaving them with her, she sent us pictures of them in the garden eating grass and in their cage. Would definitely use again!
Kayleigh is amazing ! She stayed at our home and looked after our elderly dog and cat . She sent regular updates and when our dog needed vet treatment she was amazing . Not only does and genuinely care for animals and their welfare she also leaves your home the way you would like to find it . I can't praise her enough !
Kayleigh at Jasper Tails looked after our 3 year old miniature dachshund , Ozzy, for 10 days when we went on holiday in January. Ozzy had such a great time and fit in with the other dogs so well. Kayleigh sent us regular updates and was very quick to respond if we dropped a message to check in. I’d highly recommend Jasper Tails and Ozzy can’t wait to go back!
Kayleigh has only been walking our dog for a few months but he already loves his time with her. On the first meet and greet it was clear how much love Kayleigh has for our beloved furry family members so this immediately put me at ease. I would highly recommend Jasper Tails Pet Care and have already booked Kayleigh for some dog sitting for later in the year.
Fantastic service. Kayleigh is so friendly and professional. She’s absolutely fabulous with dogs and understands their needs/behaviour. Extremely trustworthy. My dog is always so happy after being with her and he’s an old nervous boy so I don’t usually trust anyone with him but Kayleigh gives him such lovely walks. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone. 10/10.
Kayleigh is fantastic with my dog, he gone from not wanting to walk with anyone but me to waiting at the door for Kayleigh to arrive and he can't get out the door quick enough for his walks. She has worked so hard getting him to this point. If I could give her 10/10 I would! She's very professional and nothing is to much for her!
Kayleigh looked after two of our precious pups for the day whilst we were out. Couldn’t recommend her enough, she is such a lovely trustworthy person who clearly has such a passion for animals. Can’t wait to use her services again (as does Clementine!) - such a huge help!
Highly recommend if looking for a dog Walker/boarder! Kayleigh loves the animals as if they’re her own. Our late dog loved his time with Kayleigh and our current pup feels the same!
Vicky did an amazing job, going above and beyond, while boarding my dog Summer for 3 weeks. Constant updates, she was really well looked after, and came back to find she didn't want to leave. Would highly recommend
Amazing service - my Dog Sammy always comes back happy content and I know he’s always safe and well looked after each visit - he loves going for his regular holidays whilst I’m working away.
Totally unreliable.Over a period of time I have now sent 4 messages through different means (including the website contact page) enquiring about dog boarding and all of my messages have been ignored. No empathy was offered when I mentioned that one of my dogs had recently died from cancer! It was ignored. I would have appreciated some response even if it was to say that “no boarding is available , sorry to hear about your dog.” I would not want to leave my dog with someone who lacks empathy and professionalism. Doesn’t deserve the business
Honestly, Vicky is THE sole best person to have look after your dog, whether for the day or overnight. Her love for all things dogs is undeniable and you can see that from the great care she gives whilst still offer competitive pricing. Our dog Wilson loves her and the walks so much he just wishes he got to spend more time with the 'The Dog Mumma'. Highly recommend!!
Vicky is the only person we'd trust absolutely with our dogs - they sometimes don't want to leave and get very excited when they arrive.
Didn't return my call.
Would only ever send my dog here! It’s like a home from home for my dog he loves coming to Vicky !
best place for dogs very satisfy from them keep it up guys all the best
