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 absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
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!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!

'Flora has been going to Jo's since she was a puppy and loves it there. Both Jo & Tony are great with her - they treat her as if she was their own dog. Whenever we pass Jo's house Flora pulls at her lead, wanting to get through the gate, which I think speaks for itself!! I would highly recommend Jo.'
Highly recommend Jo. Known her for over 35 years and dogs are her passion. Your can be reassured that your dogs will be safe with her and looked after as if they were her own.
Anna looked after our three - two cats and Mr Nibbles the guinea pig. She was brilliant 👏 very reassuring, and knowledgeable. She's a great pet sitter. They were all very happy when we returned from our summer hols. …
Our cats were very well looked after by Anna during our 8 days away - even the nervous one was relaxed and happy when we got home! The daily photos were very much anticipated and enjoyed by the whole family. Thank you, Anna!
Anna has a wealth of knowledge and experience taking care of cats. We have recently found her and have come home to a very calm home with 2 happy cats. She has already given us lots of fantastic tips and advice. Would highly recommend her
Anna looked after our pet rabbit Pickle while we were away. I loved that she visited the house first to meet us and our rabbit. It was important to her to find out our rabbit's likes and habits. Anna sent us daily updates and photos while we were away and on our return our rabbit was tidy and we could tell she'd been well looked after. I'd highly recommend Anna and I will certainly ask Anna to pet sit our rabbit again. Thank you Anna.
It was such great fortune that we found someone like Anna who loves and understands cats to look after our three when we went away for a week. It was the first time we leave them since we added Luna to our household, so we were worried that there would be issues; but thankfully we were genuinely reassured by Anna’s continuous updates and experience. We felt they were in very safe hands. When we came back we also had a very good session with Anna to ensure we’re giving the kitties the best environment to relax and thrive. We would absolutely recommend Anna to anyone who may be nervous about having to leave their pets while away. Thank you!
Anna provides an excellent service; she clearly has a real love and knowledge for all things feline - and is very security conscious. One of our cats needs medication which Anna administered daily, as well as sending us photos and updates. We’ve returned home to two very happy cats!
Anna looked after my 2 rabbits, whilst I was away for 2 weeks - especially after Covid I was bit nervous for leaving them for so long & wanted to find the right person. Straight away Anna started to gain their trust and they were happy to interact with her, which is quite unusual for rabbits when they don’t know you. Throughout the time I was away Anna sent me very cute photos and updates and went above and beyond with their care. I can tell Anna truly cares about the animals she is looking after and I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter 🌟
First time using a cat sitter and Anna was all we could have hoped for. Her communication was frequent and excellent, and she took better photos of our cat than we could have! Really gave us peace of mind that our cat was staying happy and healthy, well fed and watered (especially as there was a heatwave) while we were away. I would be happy to use Anna's services again.
Professional, experienced, genuinely caring pet sitter. Anna goes above and beyond to make sure your beloved pets are cared for, comfortable, happy and safe. Regular pet updates and photos while you are away! A lovely touch and highly appreciated. Anna is the best pet sitter around. Highly recommended and would not hesitate to use her services again.
Anna was just the person we needed to look after our cat (and keep our plants alive) while we were away. She was professional and attentive and her daily photos made us feel confident that our cat was in good hands. First time using a pet sitter - we’ll definitely choose Anna again instead of using the Cattery as we did previously.
ActivePaws is not a kennels- far from it. It’s a home from home for precious pets. I would not leave my dog anywhere else. Louise and David are professional and knowledgeable and take pet care to a new level. It’s absolutely unique!
Olive absolutely loves going to Active Paws both for daycare and overnight visits. It gives us such peace of mind to know she’s so well looked after and so happy there, it really is a wonderful and caring place.
My dog Waffles has been attending Active Paws since he was 4 months old and nearly 4 years on he loves it as much as he did the very first day. When he was a small puppy, David and Louise ensured he was integrated gently and gave extra time and attention, even sending us lovely email updates. He now looks forward to his weekly slot and also attends for boarding when we're away too. Active Paws has great space and a wonderful team including Tania, Nicky and Sophie who send us photos via Whatsapp of the dogs playing. I'd thoroughly recommend for you dogs.
Poppy has been going to Active Paws for over 2 years. Not only do they have amazing grounds for the dogs to play and rest, the whole team are amazing – so friendly and they send regular photo’s which is a lovely touch. Both David and Louise have been extremely helpful with accommodating last minute bookings, answering emails immediately (even when on holiday!) and have always offered great dog advice when needed. The whole team have always gone above and beyond. Poppy always return home shattered after a fun day at day care.
The team at Active Paws are fantastic. They take time to ensure that dogs are suitably matched in groups and don’t let large groups of dogs run riot. Our standard poodle has settled into the routine and lovely facilities - we can tell from the pictures he has a great time. I highly recommend the team at active paws if you are looking for a daycare!
The team at Active Paws are wonderful and very friendly, our dog is looked after very well and is always happy to be dropped off. The regular updates show that he is getting lots of care and having a fun time with the other dogs. We really appreciate the service they offer and would recommend them to anyone in need of a high-quality doggy daycare!
Ted our Cockapoo has been going to Active Paws since he was a puppy and even now at 9 he still cries with excitement when we pull up !! Which always makes me smile !!! A really great place run by David and Louise and the team, who are always really accommodating, and happy to help. We Love the regular photos and videos when we are holiday. If Ted could talk I am sure he would agree. Thanks AP
Lottie has been going to Active Paws for nearly 3 years now. Lottie has an enormous, insuppressible amount of energy. Even at 7am David, Louise and team greet her with just as much enthusiasm as she shows them. David and Louise have saved me many times with last minute requests for dog care and Lottie has spent many holidays there. It is very much her second home and the team love her just as much as we do (possibly even more!) We couldn't manage life without Active Paws and days there are definitely the highlight of Lottie's life. Thank you!
My dog has been going to active paws for 5 years for dog boarding when we are away. She is always really happy there with plenty of space to run around in the fields as well as walks in the woods and ball chasing. Its great that there are a limited number of dogs each time and they sleep in homely surroundings in the kitchen and side room. We are updated regularly with videos and photos. I can't imagine a better place for her to stay.
My cockapoo Ramsay has been going to Active Paws twice a week. for just over a year now, since he was 6 months old. He can’t wait to get in each time we pull up and often wants to stay for a few more cuddles at home time. The staff are amazing and I feel at ease dropping him off for the day without having to worry he will be ok. I really enjoy seeing the pictures they send through of him and his lookalike bestie having fun. Would definitely recommend.
We have used this cattery several times and have always been pleased with how they look after our cat. The cattery is a separate building away from the dogs and each cat has their own room which has a window, a basket and toys to keep them occupied. The owners also groom the cats as our one which has a lot of hair always comes out well brushed.
I am about to put our cats there later this year. They look after both very well. Very polite. There is an area for the dogs to run around and safe within their grounds. The cats get let out every day and both get cuddles if the pets like it. They encourage you if you want to bring some things for familiarity but not if you don't want. Just great all round.
We left our cat here for the first time over the Easter weekend. It seems to be a kennels with a few cattery pens added. While he was looked after perfectly well I wasn't impressed by the fact that I wasn't allowed to settle my (older) cat into his pen myself, which would have taken all of five minutes and is something any other cattery I've ever used has done automatically. I was told they were too busy, even when I asked a second time. So I was obliged to leave him in his carrier in their outside office. This was not a good experience as an owner leaving a pet for the first time and got me wondering if his pen was even ready for him.
I've used Acorn a few times for my dog. Very happy with the service, especially now they offer "wash and blow dry" before she comes out
Took my dog last year. Was really pleased. When I collected her she was clean and seemed really happy. Would definitely recommend.
3 years ago our staffies dog was in corn kennels A, one grade their look after Bailey so well I recommend them lovely mangers and staff x
Excellent experience, extremely polite, friendly, clean... Staff really care
Friendly helpful staff Very spacious
Amanda has been walking our family dogs for many year and is a true animal lover (much reciprocated by our pets!). She is reliable & trustworthy - and a lovely person to boot. Can't recommend her services enough.
Amanda is a true animal lover and she walked my dogs daily up until lockdown when I started working from home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her Dogwalking services. She also looked after our cat on occasions and had my cocker spaniel to stay overnight on more than one occasion.
Great service, our cat was well cared for :)
We love Crazy Tails, we brought Coco here for the first time and were a bit worried as she’s quite a ‘stressy’ but she was absolutely fine and came out looking amazing and smelling so sweet. Jo is so attentive with Coco and we’re very happy we’ve found them. X
One of the easiest recommendations EVER- this is by no doubt the best doggy day care ever!! Vicky and Graham created an absolutely magical place, brought the most amazing team, including Jenna and Tim the Trainer, and created a doggy heaven. There are days I seriously consider asking them to let me stay with them instead of going to work! Carla, my crazy 2 years old Bearded Collie, starts her happy dance down the road and bursts out of the car as we park. She is loved, taken care of and she even gets support on her training when needed whilst there. She is the happiest Beardie ever when returning back home, after a day there. And for us, logistics are also important- great opening hours, lots of indoor space so also when raining the dogs have where to run around, there’s vacation care and grooming! Makes our lives v much easier. Really happy with r Crazy Tail and full heartedly recommend 💖
Love Crazy Tails, the groomers are amazing with my dog and always listen to what I want done. My dog always leaves relaxed and happy after his groom. Great service, would highly recommend. 🐾🐾🐾 …
I am training for my Award in Dog Grooming with Crazy Tails and I’m finding it to be one of the best learning experiences I’ve ever had. Academy manager Becky is second to none for knowledge, she’s patient and fantastic at teaching. I’ve been hands on since day one with amazing support giving me confidence in what I’m doing, even nail clipping!
Prince had a lovely time being groomed by Sky and the other girls. The fresh smell lasted quite a while. Very happy with the service and would recommend to anyone.
They did an amazing job on Ruby who has been going to crazy tails since she was a puppy. Friendly staff & my dog loves going. I would highly recommend them
Bailey has been coming to Crazytails Retreat for daycare, overnight stays and grooming since April this year . She absolutely loves it . She loves playing with the other dogs, going for walks and having cuddles with the lovely professional staff . It is her second home. The facilities for dogs are excellent and the staff cannot do enough for them . As Bailey has only just turned one year old, her socialisation has really improved since coming here . I really recommend Crazytails.
Becky is amazing and our dog absolutely loves being groomed. He always smells amazing when he leaves which is great.
So disappointed to go there and get the dog full of fleas (never had fleas in years and years) and with his anal glandes bleeding (for weeks after!, and not only once!). We went there regularly but for the past three sessions the experience was horrible for our dog, costing us extra money with vets and treatments. Very very disappointed.
My Keeshond had a groom at Crazy Tails today & we are very happy with the results! Keesies can be tricky to groom but the team did a great job. Very reasonably priced as well! We will definitely be back.
Helen gives great care to Kirsty on her stayes which gives us complete peace of mind.
Don’t leave your pets with this driver. This morning I am driving through Elizabeth avenue , the driver of GK09DOG who is driving the van with the name A1 K9 pet care is very aggressive and faster than the speed limit. Apart from this he is “f” ing and yelling because I am driving in my lane and he is breaching the Highway Code by not giving me a way. I am surprised how is he going to look after these poor pets when he doesn’t have patience. He should be responsible when he is driving pets in his van and he poses danger to their life as I have witnessed this morning how fast he is driving and with bad behaviour. I wouldn’t leave my pets with this man as he has several issues.
We love A1-K9 Care! After searching lots of dog boarding places in Amersham, we came across A1-K9 Care. We loved the warm and friendly atmosphere and all the dogs looked happy and well looked after. When we pull up to their house our dog Toby cannot wait to get out of the car and runs straight in! It is such a relief to know he is happy while we are away. Thank you to Maxine and Georgia!
Georgia and her team are our first choice for taking care of our dog when we go away or need overnight care. Pack walks in the day and sharing Georgia's home in the evening means it's like a home away from home for our pooch.
Excellent dog groomer. My dog loves going there!
Our dog Belle loves it here ❤
Excellent Thai food and great service
We have been using Pet Patrol for years and could not have asked for a better Company to come into our lives . We have 11 pets , Cats , dogs and rabbits . All brilliantly cared for by Bradley and his team . We have used other companies who are good but do not provide the personal experience that Pet Patrol provide.
They walked my dog daisy for about 2 weeks, I was never sure as daisy was doing her business when I was talking her out for a walk after work. I had to work from home one day when B came to pick her up, she barked at him and had her tail between legs and I had to pull her out to go for a walk! Asked for my keys back the same day.
Highly recommend Bradley and The Pet Patrol. My dogs love all the care and attention he gives them.
