Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
Chris was an outstanding pet sitter and I would definitely use him again! He is reliable, responsible, and thorough. I was able to FaceTime Chris prior to the sit and he spent a lot of time answering and asking questions. I felt confident after speaking with him. Throughout the weekend, Chris communicated clearly through texting. He let me know when he arrived and left which was helpful. He also sent photos and updates of both my cats. My boy cat has occasional anxiety issues which cause UTI's. Andy had a flare up while I was away and Chris was very attentive to him and let me know how he was doing. Chris did not seem to mind taking extra care of him which I very much appreciate. Chris left my house clean and even washed the sheets and towels he used before leaving!
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!
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.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
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!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
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!
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!
Excellent, friendly place. My 2 dogs have loved it there & they are both very pampered pets at home! Very flexible about pick up times as long as they know you may be a bit late. Already booked in for the next holiday.
Took our pooch here for a long weekend whilst we stayed nearby. Staff were friendly and dog seemed very happy... must have had a lot of outdoor fun as she came home quite mucky. The road up to the kennels is a serious climb and would challenge even even military vehicles come winter time!
They love the animals. And the animals love them.
We regularly put our 2 dogs there for a 'holiday'. They always jump out of the car enthusiastically and when we pick them up they look healthy and well looked after.
Keith takes extraordinarily good care of our 3 flat coated retrievers, cockapoo and cat. They all enjoy their holidays at Croftspardon leaving us to confidently enjoy ours 😁 …
Great place, our Fern loves her holidays here, and peace of mind for us. They are all lovely people who genuinely care for animals.
We booked in our dog for the day whilst we visited the wildlife park and felt like he was in very good hands. No fuss and and super friendly - highly recommended!
Looked after my Great Dane Satch , he looked happy &calm & in great condition when we picked him up, great place
Friendly people, very clean kennels and happy kittens! Will definitely use them again.
Excellent. Very caring;.been using for almost 20 years. Nothing but outstanding courtesy and attention throughout this period.
K9-Kind Limited Dog Training is unique! Aileen Hodgson observes and listens to each owner AND dog then works out how best to answer their needs. She provides notes and further support either personally or online. Our Alaskan Malamute has met her twice. The first time as a very large puppy who just loved to jump on everyone he met and hauled us everywhere. Aileen sorted us all out in less than a couple of weeks as well as our separation anxiety. . . The second time as a 3 year old for consolidation of his training. He is a joy and I've no doubt that he would have been more of a handful if he hadn't met her.
We have just completed Aileen's puppy course and found it extremely helpful. As first time dog owners we felt Aileen's kind and sensible approach really helped us learn how to teach our puppy what we expected of her. We will be in touch to book more training sessions, thank you Aileen.
Just completed the Loose Leash Walking Course. We'll worth the opportunity to train in a small group. Many helpful exercises with the advantage of doing them with the distraction of other dogs. Fun activities. Sandy loved going to the classes.
Aileen came to us one week into our new adventure with our Labrador puppy Margo when we were sleep deprived and had had one bout of tears already! The course gave us clear guidance on how to train our lovely pup, the sessions were brilliant and allowed us to have a structure and bond with Margo during the first crazy weeks of owning a new dog. Margo’s progress in five weeks is astonishing and we cannot wait for puppy classes to begin. Thanks Alieen! Louise Hinchliffe and Sarah Dickinson
A lifeline for a good start to training your puppy. Aileen delivers a rigorous 6 week course with one class/week in a village hall which has space for up to 6 dogs suitably spaced around the hall. There's homework too and good follow up. Barney and I have just attended a further course on Platform training six months after puppy classes. Aileen identified areas where we needed further work such as loose lead walking. You can also book one on one sessions at your home.
Learned such a lot from Aileen and all so enjoyable. Is making such a difference to my recently acquired older dog, helping her settle into her new life. Aileen's teaching is very well organised - I'm finding the the post-lesson emailed notes and videos + other useful links all extremely helpful.
First time puppy owner after having rescues for 40 years this course has given me confidence. I love the way explanations are given as to why a puppy is acting in a certain way. I endorse the idea of training with kindness and setting pup up for getting it right. This course is an absolute must for new dog owners and for anyone with a problem I would thoroughly recommend Aileen. Thank you so much for all you have done for us.
I recently enlisted Aileen of K9-Kind Limited to help me train my border terrier puppy, Fin. I found Aileen to be very knowledgeable, efficient and helpful. She clearly has a genuine love of and respect for, dogs and she makes training fun. Both Fin and I very much enjoyed working with Aileen. She keeps herself up to date with all the latest dog training techniques, dog psychology and provides very high quality training materials and notes. These training materials are provided both in paper form and in digital format, which is very useful. I would have no hesitation in recommending Aileen of K9-Kind to anyone who is interested in finding a high quality, reliable dog trainer in the Perthshire/Pitlochry area.
I can highly recommend Aileen from K9-Kind. I'm a new mum so it was all a bit daunting and these past 6 weeks of training have been invaluable. Aileen is so knowledgeable and very patient and I learned so much from her course. I very much doubt my pup would be as well trained as she is now had I not done these sessions, the most important part of it being good recall. She's come on leaps and bounds and my confidence with her has grown too. If you're thinking about taking Aileen's courses, don't think too hard. You will gain so much from it, but the main thing is the relationship you have with your pup will grow even stronger as you both learn together. Just do it, you won't regret it. Thank you Aileen.
Aileen is really friendly and knowledgeable. All the dogs absolutely love her and listen to her every word, very insulting my dog likes her more than me haha I've learnt so many good, helpful tips and tricks for training my puppy. It's all really easy and FUN. I love playing with my puppy and she responds really well to the games and advice. Thank you so much for your great guidance. I will definitely be getting in touch if adolescence becomes too much, for some advice!!
My parents are hosts for Barking Mad and they just love getting all shapes and sizes staying with them! Isla does a fantastic job to make sure the dogs are well taken care of. She is a bubbly person and i have made a good friend.
Isla is amazing - so friendly and helpful. My two dogs love going on holiday with Barking Mad. I always feel confident that they are being well looked after while we're away.
Good clean place. Friendly efficient staff and good fast food
Very useful
I took my dog for an initial visit and can say that Steve and Tricia and Bramble and their house are very dog friendly. There is a huge fenced area with great access to the loch. My dog Romeo will be staying with Steve a few times over the summer and a longer time in the autumn.
Excellent transport and assistance provided by Michael for my first ever dog! He drove from Sheffield to Canterbury, stopping off at two service stations so my dog could exercise and make some mess! The car used was very smart and comfortable.
I have had the most amazing trip to pick my puppy stray up from Zante and drive all the way back to Yorkshire. My driver/courier, Norman was fantastic. The whole process went smoothly, safely and was a trip of a lifetime. They organised every last detail to ensure the dog and myself were comfortable and well looked after. Highly recommend this fantastic company. Expensive but SO well worth it. Thank you.
I travelled with my dog from Sweden to Wales. They were very professional and organised and even remembered our names when we would call. No issues with booking etc. Were given plenty of information and contacted by the driver days before which was reassuring. He arrived in a branded van and clothes which reassured me (I am a young woman) and was very professional throughout. The van was clean and well equipped for transporting my dog and we took regular breaks around every 4 hours. Well worth the money and would definitely use c four paws again. Thanks/Diolch!
We had Milo collect from London on Sunday with two cages and a carry cage and lots of toys. Milo was perfectly happy and items were in good order. Collected on time and delivered on time. Excellent service and driver was very nice. Highly recommended for animal transport. Will definitely use again if the need arises. Good job thank you
Calagran Four Paws and my driver Will were absolutely amazing at handling our cross country transport for a long distance move. Having a rather large Staffy x Old Tyme, who had sadly had to be exempted due to her size, I was even terrified to take her on the road in anything other than proper transport. And with it being such a long way I wanted a safe long distance option also for all round safety and comfort. Our needs were catered for with the upmost care and Will was absolutely amazing with my nervousness and with my lovely girls nervy nature. I couldn't have been happier and I plan to travel with them again. I can highly recommend them.
I highly recommend this company. I just endured an incredibly stressful and long importation process into Europe and finally into the UK with my 3 med/large breed dogs. CFourPaws went above and beyond to help me logistically with things they really didn't have to and was outside of their services. Provided much needed emotional support and were empathetic to my unforeseen financial costs. Really without people like Keith and Greig, I may have crumbled under the stress of it all. BIg animal lovers, BIG hearts and can't fault them. Thanks CFourPaws x
I have been bringing my dogs here for a few years now. They are always happy to come back and I love that the kennels share photos with you of your pets. The drop-off was very useful
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. In a medical emergency you were the first kennels we found after literally 100's of phone calls with spare capacity to take Casper while his mum had an emergency operation to remove a brain tumour. The 10x photo's you sent us showing him happy & thoroughly enjoying a run in the secure field were a huge relief to his dad & a massive boost to his mum's immediate recovery.
We recently used C Four Paws to transport our dog Adi from Glasgow to Heathrow for her trip home to Canada. David was a very kind and professional driver and got us to the Kennel at Heathrow on time in spite of some unavoidable traffic delays along the way. We’re back home with Adeline safe and sound and are very grateful for having used the services of your company and David for the first leg of our trip.
An absolute lifesaver when it came to transporting me and my cats from Dublin to Somerset. There was fantastic communication the entire time during the booking process and our driver Clive was incredible! They made what was a very stressful move for me and my cats, a very easy time and I cannot thank Clive and the whole team enough.
