Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
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!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
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!
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!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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!
My dog David just didn’t wanna come home 10/10 we love Rick so much
Oscar enjoyed his stay, he was looked after really well and seemed reluctant to come home!!!! we have already booked him in for April for a further week. It was reassuring for us to leave him in a family home and definitely recommend Charlie's Pet Care.
Rick’s looked after our dogs lots of times now and he’s been fantastic. Very reliable, trustworthy and our dogs love him so highly recommended.
Simon is fantastic and we can’t recommend him enough. He has been taking our 1 year lab called Blake out about 3 times a week for the past 3 months. He is reliable, friendly and absolutely loves dogs. He has helped us with lots of advice and we really trust him. Simon house sits too and his prices for everything are very reasonable. We would struggle without him and Blake loves his walks.
Simon pet care is amazing, he is so good with our year old puppy Fuse, Fuse is so excited when he hears Simon coming and I know he is great hands when out on walks. Simon will always help us when needed and was so supportive when Fuse was a tiny puppy.
Simon has been walking our dog Ruby for over 6 years since she was a puppy, he is reliable and accommodating. He has been great from day one flexible and always has the best interest of the dogs, we wouldn’t use anyone else, fantastic person and dog Walker, we couldn’t recommend more highly, thanks for everything you fo for our Ruby
I would not leave my dog with anyone else. Simon and his associates are amazing, always really accomodating and more importantly have a great way with dogs and other animals. I have used Simon for dog walking and for dog and house sitting while away for weeks at a time and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Simon has been looking after our staffie for years, always available for short notice requests (he 'saved the day' more than once). Now taking our dog for regular walks. Very professional and reliable, highly recommended 👌 …
Simon is incredible! He really cares and goes above and beyond, my dog really looks forward his walks and always comes back well exercised and very happy. Thank you Simon
Always reliable and professional and my dog adores Simon. Highly recommended
Our 7 month old Norfolk Terrier puppy had a first 'strip' with Elizabeth. She came home looking better than I could have hoped, and smelling sweet too! It was evident that she had suffered no trauma at all, and was exhausted by all the dog-socialising during her trips for treatment, and then back out to the garden with some of the boarding dogs. If you're a dog, this place is better than home!
The first time I took my reluctant Westies to the Doghouse, they had to dragged up the driveway, having never enjoyed previous experiences of dog grooming. However, they loved it and now sprint to the front door, hardly giving me time to lock the car! They happily spend the day being patiently groomed and bathed and when I return to collect them, they are usually dozing in one of the dog beds, hardly bothering to acknowledge my arrival. Happy dogs: happy owner!
Left Lady our wee dog with Elizabeth for several days and am very happy with her care during her stay at The Doghouse. Highly recommend it.
Albus LOVES both Sharna and Stanley :) he has been in their care since he was only 5 months old but we have felt completely at ease. We receive LOADS of updates each day of Albus playing with his friends and he's tucked up snoozing in his bed by the time we get home! Would recommend to all :)
Nala, our total princess of a mixed breed, joined Stanley’s team for some very long walks to try and wear her out while we worked. This was a huge success! She adores boss Stanley, and loves meeting so new many new furry friends to socialise with. With the new addition of Day Care, Nala will be a regular visitor as we know how happy and safe she is, and the simple ease of her being collected and dropped home is worth more than Stanley’s team know! Sharna and head boss Stan have created a wonderful Day Care for dogs, and we’re very lucky to be able to send Nala to them.
Our Dog Bella absolutely loves the day care,and will be staying for 2 weeks while we are on holiday,a big thanks to Sharna and Emily who have made Bella welcome into there home.We wish you all the success in your new venture of Stanley,s day care.many thanks,Lee ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
What a marvellous find! Sharna and Emily offer a wonderful professional service, and provide fun, exercise, and socialisation for the dog, and a trouble-free pick-up and drop off for the owner. My dog loves Sharna, and leaps in the van totally ready for a good time with his mates. He's exhausted but very happy when he comes back. I can't thank Stanley's Doggy Day Care enough, and hope the girls go from strength to strength - they deserve to.
My dog who is under a year old has been going to Stanley’s daycare for a day a week for a couple of months now. She sits waiting for her ride in the mornings and is reluctant to say goodbye when she is delivered home… she LOVES LOVES LOVES it!! Highly recommended.
We send our boxer to Stanley's and he has a great time stretching those legs and playing with other dogs in a safe environment. Always comes home sleepy. Easy to book and hassle free with collection and drop off.
Stanley's Doggy Day Care, well what can I say just amazing,if you are looking for Boarding or day care for your pooch this is the ideal place,your dog will receive 5 star treatment from the owners Stanley Sharna and Emily who are such lovely people,your dogs will be well cared for you will be kept up to date of how your dog is getting on during the day with photos and videos,so you can rest assured you dog is being well cared for,,the main man Stanley will make sure your dog has a great day of play this place is truly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.many thanks Karen.
The best 👌 in Area. …
My dog Murphy loves staying with Lucie 😊 he rushes off to see her and doesn't even look back at me 😂 I love how Lucie sends doggie logs every day, sending pictures of Murphy having fun on his walks with the other dogs. I highly recommend Lucie, such a lovely person 🙂 …
Lucie and her family 4 legged and 2 legged are lovely. Our 6 month old pup had a wonderful first day at doggy daycare. I loved the email notifications of the walks along with tons of pictures of what they were getting up to. He didn't want to leave. Once home he slept like a log and we had our first dream experience with him making noises and his little legs going. It's such a relief knowing he is happy whilst I am at work. Wonderful great secure facility and garden for them to play in. Thank you Lucie and Co
Lucie was wonderful when she looked after our dog. Friendly and caring, our dog loved the long walks.
Bo Collie had his first stay at Dukesmead this week, and wow he has loved it. The staff are exceptional and he enjoyed all his fuss and playtime, especially the pool. He has come home like a playful puppy (he’s almost 8!) and smiling, looking forward to his next visit in October - well done ladies
Such a lovely kennels, I had all the confidence in the world that my fur baby was being looked after. I love that I have a friendly loving place for my dog to go when I’m away. Thank you so much Dukesmead xxx
Dukesmead really is the best! We used Dukesmead for the first time in March after having to leave our long-term kennels because our youngest was still entire and not fully socialized and we are so glad we found such lovely people to care for our 3 dogs and at the point we handed them over we knew we had made the right decision in choosing Dukesmead! Felicity, Kayleigh and Imogen are a wonderful team and I wish I had the words to write a review which does them justice. Not only were our dogs happy and relaxed staying there, but we’ve also never had anyone else take the time to provide care, advice and amazing support after bringing them back home. One of our dogs in particular who is very misunderstood 😉 and at the tender age of adolescence needed someone to understand his needs and Felicity certainly provided that and more and showed that some humans can be rather wonderful without the requirement of additional fees and glory. Hard to find now a days! Felicity, you have gone above and beyond for us and Ozzie and we seriously cannot express how thankful we are to have met you and we would never go anywhere else now. Thank you!!
I have used Dukesmead for 8 years and have always had a fantastic service. This year my dog who is 13 yrs old became very poorly and needed emergency treatment while I was away in Greece. Felicity was amazing in her care of him and had to fight several battles with the vets to get him treated . The other kennel staff were also amazing and took fantastic care of him. Excellent communication throughout so I was kept up to date with all of the treatment. Absolutely brilliant .
The absolute best kennels and cattery around. They are rated 5 stars for a reason!!! ⭐ The team are so friendly, welcoming and complete animal lovers. Our German Shepherd is a diva and not the easiest to care for, but nothing is too much trouble for Dukesmead. They genuinely love every animal in their care and it clearly shows. We absolutely hate leaving our dog behind, however having Dukesmead to care for her makes it all the more bearable. We would never use anywhere else. They are the absolute BEST!
We’ve used Dukesmead Boarding Kennels numerous times for our two ladies ever since they were 6 months old and we would never want to take them anywhere else! The team are amazing and Felicity keeps us updated with videos and pictures which is so reassuring. They love the time they spend at Dukesmead, always happy to go in and always knackered when we pick them up as they’ve had some great play time!
The team at Dukesmead are phenomenal! We’ve been leaving our dogs with them for years and we always felt really good dropping them off - our dogs would jump out of the car and run in to get hugs from the team! We’ve left puppies, older dogs, adolescents- you cannot go wrong here. We love the attention to detail - paddling pools when it’s hot, long walks, an owner who takes personal attention and ensures everyone including dog owners are informed and updated about how the dogs are doing. The kennel has been recently renovated, dogs have lots of space and an outdoor and indoor area. Our dogs always came back healthy and happy.Thank you to the team - we are very grateful for what you do.
I highly recommend this wonderful establishment. Felicity and her team work so hard to make sure all their fury residents are taken care of with lots of love and cuddles. I have two dogs who are so very precious the eldest is 12 the youngest is 6 I would not leave my boys with just anyone I’m thrilled to have found Dukesmead I know from the minute I drop the boys off they are in good hands and about to have lots of fun and cuddles, wagging tails do not lie and there’s a lot of wagging and excitement when we arrive at Dukesmead, if I could double this star rating I would 🐾😍
The best kennels I’ve ever used, my dog Major absolutely loves spending time here. From the moment we arrive he is jumping around inside the car, he leaps out and races into the welcoming arms of the staff who adore him. The staff are always happy, friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and well experienced. You can tell they are extremely passionate about the dogs and don’t rush you at drop off, they take the time to speak with you about the dogs needs and what makes them happy. The kennels are well suited for dogs, especially when the dogs are of a larger breed and the staff make sure all dogs are exercised properly and socialised at no extra cost. 100000000% recommend, I won’t be going anywhere else 🐶🐕🐾
Fabulous owner Felicity and her team are professional, knowledgeable and engaging, creating a great environment for ones precious four legged friends. My shadow chasing slightly nutty Springer Spaniel Reggie has had 3 mini breaks at Dukesmead this summer & I feel so relieved to know he is in a kind, caring, safe environment. I cannot recommend his second home enough!
Well done !!! Hope you are happy . This association in Gran Canaria has worked very hard to save animals, it's not easy here and they only get help from private companies and people who try give as much as they can . No government support whatsoever, your company is cruel and stands for nothing good. If you weren't so aggressive and evil,, I'm sure you could have cooperated with them and the results of both companies meeting could have been awesome, but now, thanks to all the effort you have gone to to assault this NGO your image is ruined for ever. If there is any justice in the world you will have to rebrand your company or see it go bankrupt.
Such a shame you forced an animal charity that has been going for years and doing so much good to change its name just because you wanted to make money on their name Shame on you
wow you genuinely had a charity page that rescues abandoned and abused dogs shut down? well done you
Unethical and money grabbing.
Rubbish
Absolute Scum
doesn’t look after dogs just leaves them outside all day
