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
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.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
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!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
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!
Teddys honestly is doggy heaven on earth! My two absolutely love coming! Such a lovely environment and they are truly a part of the family. I love the picture updates on Facebook of their adventures at daycare as well as attending social events. I couldn’t recommend Teddys enough. All the staff are incredible, I am so grateful to have found Teddys!
I couldn’t recommend Teddys more! It’s genuinely the best doggy day care with the most lovely team of people. Bruce has been going there since a puppy and he stills runs in excited every time he goes. They go above and beyond to make the dogs and owners very happy! The birthday parties and other little events they do are just amazing! Thanks for making Bruce a very happy pup 🐶
Teddys doggy day care offers a great day care for your furry friends. The staff are always very pleasant & helpful and Rosie , my cockerpoo has a great time there . I always recommend Teddys to potential customers who are looking for day care for their dogs . Keep up the good work guys 👌
Teddy's was a great adventure for our pup Nova she loved attending each week, the team were great and offer a good set up and a pretty good location in Northampton!
I highly recommend Teddy’s Dog Care. When we went on holiday for a fortnight this summer we sent our precious cavapoo Phoebe there to stay. We were a bit apprehensive, but only because we hadn’t left her for so long before, we trusted Michelle as she treats her boarders with such loving care. Michelle provided us with regular updates along with amazing pics which reassured us that our doggy was definitely having a fabulous time, in fact I don’t think she wanted to come home!
Teddys is fantastic. The owner Michelle is so lovely & friendly. Our Labrador always came back waggy tailed & tired! Prices are fair & the photos Michelle takes are adorable. We loved seeing how happy Daisy was with her doggy pals. Would highly recommend :)
What a find! Teddy’s Dog Care (Michelle) is amazing, my dog absolutely loves visiting and I can relax knowing he is in very safe hands. Michelle is a very honest, kind and caring person who genuinely puts her dog first. I have a very nervous dog (of people and other dogs) and he is slow to adapt to new situations. Michelle understands this and works with him to help him settle and to ensure he is happy at all times. He also has a life threatening condition which means regular medication 3 x daily which Michelle administers with no problem. I also love the fact that she only ever has small dogs to stay with her meaning that for my dog (and for my peace of mind) play time is fun rather than scary! The daily updates I receive are also very reassuring for me as I can see he is fit and healthy – and having far more fun than he does at home watching me work! I won’t leave him anywhere else and can’t speak highly enough of Teddy’s Dog Care. Michelle thank you so much!
Michelle and Tina at Teddy's are amazing! I've had my dogs there for walks, boarding and day care, and every time my dogs are SO excited to see Michelle and Tina, literally don't want to come home sometimes! I am a very nervous doggy momma and I completely trust them in these guys' care. My favourite thing is they see each dog as a person/character and not just a dog, and that counts for a lot to me - love these guys and will continue to use them for many many years to come x
Henry loves his visits to Teddy’s when I am on holiday. He is a bit of a nervous nelly but Michelle is just so amazing with him. After a stay with Michelle he is always looking for her when we are out walking. I would never use anyone else and am always safe in the knowledge that when at Teddys he is loved and cared for as if he were at home.
So glad I found Teddies; I wouldn’t want to take my dogs anywhere else! Michelle is fantastic with my two little dogs Wilfred & Rodney & they get so excited when they arrive. I have complete peace of mind when they are staying with her & always get updates on how they are enjoying their doggy holiday! When I was pregnant I arranged for Michelle to care for them, which gave me such peace of mind; I just knew they would be well looked after for a few days! ♥️
This was Elsy’s first 2 week stay at Maddie’s and she was so looked after ! Lots of daily updates with videos and photographs. The walks all looked amazing. Shelley was very professional, caring and so loving to Elsy. Really really pleased I found such a brilliant home boarding stay for Elsy to go. Have booked many more stays for her in the coming months. Thank you for all your help and amazing attention to detail.
Sammy has just had his first holiday at Maddie's and I can't thank Shelley and her crew enough for making him feel at home from home. He has previously stayed in kennels but he is 8 now and we felt he deserved some comfort while we went on holiday. The pre-stay visits were great for making sure Shelley and the other dogs got to know Sammy, and that he would be comfortable there. And by the time we dropped him off for his holiday, he was chomping at the bit to see his friends again. I didn't once worry that Sammy wasn't ok whilst we were away, as we received daily "pupdates" showing us how he was getting on and what he was up to. We could see from the photos and videos that he was happy and felt safe. The care and attention he received was as good if not better than at home. Before his stay Sammy hadn't really socialised with other dogs and we weren't sure how he would be, but he soon got stuck in at playtime and was leading the walks. I would highly recommend Maddie's and will definitely be booking Sammy in next time we go away.
Before I contacted Maddies home from home I did a lot of research as I had been rushed into hospital in January and had to leave my poor dog at boarding without even seeing it, I was worried the whole time in hospital about my dear little girl and couldn’t wait to collect her and I was determined to find a home from home boarding. I researched several but Maddies came out on top so I contacted Shelley and we meet up for a sniff test with my little girl and the rest of her dogs. Wow how thorough and professional her whole business is. I was very impressed and we arranged a sleepover, I was very anxious to be leaving my girl again but Shelley sent me regular pup dates which put my mind at ease. I was once again taken into hospital so I contacted Shelley to see if she could look after my little girl at short notice and she was there for me again. My stay in hospital was so much better knowing she was being cared for and regular pup dates made my stay in hospital bearable. My little girl loved her stay at Maddies and always had lots to occupy her and lots of walks. I can’t recommend and thank Shelley enough for looking after my little girl it really is home from home.
Teddy is cared for 100%+ whilst I go away on holiday. It's a real home from home boarding. It's peace of mind knowing he is in safe hands. Shelley makes the separation easier for me and Teddy settles. Lots of attention given to the dogs in her care. Walkies, hugs, playtime and groomed. I enjoy the photos and videos sent daily. I collected Teddy after 12 days. He's fit, healthy and no kennel cough. So pleased I was recommended Maddies home boarding & day care. I have never been disappointed. Thank you Maddie & Shelley.
Ninja has been expertly looked after by Shelley for the past three years with a mix of boarding and day care. I now have two dogs that both go regularly and they don't even look back to me when they see Shelley. It really is a home from home with personalised and loving care. Highly recommend!
Shelley and Maddie’s house is doggie heaven. Robbie felt right at home and he was clearly happy to be there. As a nervous Doggy-Mum, Shelley really put me at ease and I felt comfortable leaving him with her. Highly recommended.
Working full time we were a bit stuck when my Mum had an accident and we had to look after her dog, Chester, for a few month's. We couldn't have chosen better with Maddie's. It is certainly a home from home, but even more than that - the dogs get great enrichment, exercise and socialisation everyday. I would not hesitate to recommend Maddie's to anyone looking for doggy care or boarding for their beloved furmily member.
My dog Dylan loves being at Maddie's. He gets 5 star treatment and I love getting regular pup-dates from Shelley. I highly recommend Shelley and wouldn't board Dylan anywhere else!
Our dog loves staying at Maddie's! The service is professional, reliable and responsive and we enjoy receiving updates about our pet when we are away. Highly recommended.
Taking each dogs needs a quirks into consideration, my mind is at ease knowing that Lottie is being well cared for and loved by a true professional.
