. 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.
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
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.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
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!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
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!
Our Lurcher Bryn goes for regular Daycare at Barkers. OK, I have to admit Bryn is the loveliest dog in the world, so of course he could be marked out for special attention but he is treated just the same as all others there. Like Royalty! It's the most amazing place for dogs. In fact I would love to go there be be treated so well in such gorgeous surroundings. This is a photo the owner sent me after his day there today. When we finally get to organise a holiday away for us, there is no doubt where he will be going! Barkers!!
We couldn’t have been happier with the care our puppy received. It was a big step for us to use day care, but Barkers were friendly and reassuring. Dougie had a great day, Helen sent photos during the day and at the end of the day sent an amazing video compilation of his day! We used Barkers as we were holidaying in the area, I only wish we lived closer! Thanks again, I would have no hesitation in recommending
Barkers is truly outstanding! The venue itself is absolutely fantastic with all home comforts , play barn and so much more! Helen and Kim’s care and thoughtfulness is second to none! I can’t praise them enough !
Dog paradise! Barkers look after your dog like its their own. Everything that your dog wants from the amount of walks they've got on their land to the indoor play area incase it's too wet to take the dogs out is designed with dogs in mind. Absolutely perfect safe and happy place for dogs. I wouldn't take mine anywhere else.
Excellent in every way! My dog Pebble loves it at Barkers, and is so well cared for. Thank you so much Helen, Kim and team. I have complete confidence leaving her with you
This business is the bee's knees of dog care. Our 7mth old retriever puppy has had wonderful care there, both at day care and overnight. His behaviour has improved in leaps and bounds and he is learning how to play properly and that we are his owners, not other dogs! His respectfulnness has increased. The girls who look after him are fab, end of! Can't recommend them highly enough.
This must be the best place ever to leave your furry friend. @choco_gina loves it here. Her auntie Helen spoils her rotten, games In the dog barn, walks in the woods, furry pals to play with, curled up by the Aga. Gina says her fur mom and dad can go away and know she will be looked after better than any kennels.
Great place to take your dog. Helen clearly has a great love for dogs and they love her in return. Wonderful facilities and a warm welcome.
Wonderful place. All the dogs are loved and the facilities are the best I've seen. Wouldn't leave my dog anywhere else.
Barkers is the most amazing place my dogs absolutely love it there and they come home happy and content and eager for their next play day.
Picked up our 2 springer spaniels and 1 cocker spaniel this morning. We were thrilled to hear that they had all behaved impecably and had clearly enjoyed their stay. Check in with Annie was easy and attention to detail on what each dog needed to enjoy thsir stay. You knew they were in good hands. Thank you all , I would not hesitate to use Windmill again if needed.
My experience here was incredible. I felt like my dog was in safe hands. For the price and quality of care he seemed to have got I'd highly recommend. When we arrived and gave in all his paper work, they immediately took him for a walk so he could get to know the girls. He took one look at me and almost forgot I was there until I picked him up. Brilliant
Amazing service! Friendly staff that are always happy to give their opinion and advice when asked! My dog loves going to Windmill 🥰 …
Tuppence had a great first visit. Many thanks to the lovely ladies.
Could ask for a better place and excellent caring team. Even posted a video of Willow in the snow for us while we were away on their Facebook site. Worth looking at to see how happy your dog is.
Lottie our four month old Welsh Hound / Collie Cross. Had a trial day there. Seemed quite happy and loved the kennel maid. Booking her in for a few days next month.
Indie and Juno love staying here.
Our 5 month old Welsh Springer Reuben has just boarded with Lissa for 9 days. I was very apprehensive about putting Reuben into kennels. I can now say with the biggest smile on my face and with much relief in my heart that he had the best time! Reuben was so happy when we collected him. He's grown in confidence and stature! Lissa is such a caring person who obviously prides herself on making every dog's stay enjoyable and stress free. While we were away, Lissa gave us regular updates and photos which made us feel very reassured. My husband and I highly recommend Windmill Boarding Kennels - Reuben will definitely stay there again! Thank you Lissa! 😊
I cant recommend Windmill Kennels and Lissa highly enough. Not only do my dogs get 5 star service while staying in the kennels, Lissa has years of veterinary nurse experience to deal with any medical needs your dog may have. And if that isn't enough, I can book my dog in for a wash and groom while she's in there! It's just perfect.
Well of course I didn't stay, but my pooches did... picking them up this arvo, very grateful to all that loved my babies whilst I was off gadin around, our doggy 🐕 angles, thank you 😊 …
I enquired about my 3 dogs staying in Cwtch Ni for a few nights. The reply I got was very rude. I was asked if they had been before to which I replied 'no'. The reply I had was 'then no'. How is a business supposed to gain new dogs? There is no need to be rude regardless.
Our experience with Cwtch Ni, and with Nia in particular, has been most outstanding. My wife and I found Nia a lady with a vibrant and amazing personality. Cwtch Ni was a place spanking clean, in spite of providing the lodging for a large number of dogs (in addition to the seven of her own) and a few other animals. There was not the faintest bad smell anywhere . Our Rosie loved the place and Nia instantly. She couldn’t wait for going out to run around in the acres of (heavily barriered) green field that was the hallmark of the facility. Among all our experiences of many quality dog boardings in the UK and elsewhere, we never felt so relaxed when we were coming back after leaving our child there. When we went to collect her, it was writ large in Rosie’s face and in her body language that she had a great time. She was happy and relaxed, in no hurry to cling to us and come back home. We never found her so NORMAL in every aspect after staying away from us, as if she had been in her second home. No wonder, Nia maintains that she looks after the doggies because of her love for them, not for business, and not to speak of the pittance she charges. Thank you Nia so very much for being there! God bless!
Put my two dogs in for three days with grooming on the last day and couldn't be happier. They were well cared for and the grooming was superb.. Will definitely be booking them in again Thank you to Nia and Gillyan
Sorry but as you say you haven't received a 1 star review before. I rang with interest to have my sentence interrupted with "I am not taking any more dogs and especially a bank holiday weekend" I didnt find the response very friendly but wonder why you still advertise if this is the case? Therefore I will not be able to give a true review.
Nia is amazing! She's so friendly and accommodating. This place is a must for any gifts for the gardener, with covid-19 in mind! An excellent local garden centre.
The owners really care about the dogs and our Oscar loves them. We are very grateful to have found them
Great kennels, run by people who love dogs, also a great place for garden plants and furniture
Fantastic place, our dogs loved it 🥰 …
I have never ever had this customer here so I don't know how he can give me 1 star! Never mind, you can't please everyone lol
This is a lovely, safe, clean boarding kennels. The mother and daughter that run it clearly do love dogs and take very good care of them. I highly recommend this place. I use this place now each time I have to go away.
I just wanted too say what excellent service,l receive at these kennels,my dog Darcy was very happy and the staff are so friendly and helpful definitely will be using them again. Thankyou Mrs Warwick
Couldn’t have been more accommodating for our nervous rescue’s first kennel stay. Owner/staff reassured us of any concerns & were a dream to deal with
We left our gorgeous boy Bailey here for a 4 night stay, we really wasn't sure whether we were doing the right thing due to an extremely bad experience at a previous kennels when he was a puppy, but I'm so pleased we did, Nicola and Clarice were both so wonderful with him and the rest of their family. First morning home and he is trying to tell me what he wants following his wonderful routine he had with them, absolutely fantastic first stay thank you so much xx
Our dog has been to stay twice now and loves it every time! Family run and family loved!
We left our cat here for the first time while on holiday. He was very happy and well looked after. It is in such a beautiful location and very easy to find. He will certainly be staying again when we go away. Harry's stayed here now multiple times with no problems at all. He comes back home chilled.
Booked my dog magic for her first vist for the weekend a wonderful place the owner was fantastic very clean kennels booked again for a week in June
Left our 11 month old springer Hector here for three nights. We were apprehensive as we've never left him before but the owners were very reassuring and kept in contact with us via WhatsApp. Picked him up during the day and the owners were very accommodating and obviously caring people. Hector was happy to see them every day and we were happy he was well cared for. Lovely people.
We are considering taking on a dog an I wanted to sus local kennels for when we are away. Really welcoming an helpful.
This place is not for Cats, my Cat went there, they hardly put any cat litter in his tray, so he pood on his towel. They have nothing for them to climb about on and explore and he was frightened and was still frightened when we picked him up and he was only in for one night. It is just sheds where they are, he was in for one night from 4.30 pm to 5.30pm the next day and charged for a 2 day stay. May be great for dog but not cats.
Katie was very helpful, professional and caring with my dog.
Amy from All Paws, called in last weekend to give our family dogs, a cuddle and to play ball with them, while we were away for the afternoon. Both dogs are very special to us and finding someone who we felt able to trust and look after them is very important to us. After meeting Amy and her meeting the dogs, we felt they would be in good hands with her. I would highly recommend All Paws, I was able go away for the afternoon and not worry about our 2 special family members.
Had a lovely day out knowing that our German shepherd had someone to let her out and play with her, have more days out planned . Thank you so much .
