Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
. 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.
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks 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 little bunnies LOVE it at Cute Noses. From start to finish, it is not only a professional approach to your beloved pets, but one that goes beyond that and Cute Noses welcomes pets into their very family! I get regular updates on my bunnies day including their eating habits, if they have been playful or sleepy and just general updates and photos which I really appreciate! Their premises is absolutely spotless and my bunnies area is cleaned every day and they have plenty of space to run about and play and they are handled regularly for lots of cuddles. A home away from home! I’m super lucky to have found Cute Noses as I never have to worry again. My rabbits love it there when I go on holiday!
Extremely pleased with the service provided by the Cute Noses Team They provide a feeding at home service for our cat. Whilst they are very warm and friendly they provide a professional service, giving regular updates and photos. When I make any enquiries they respond very quickly (within hours) of their availability. They clearly love the animals they work with ; my cat loves them feeding him as I see him receiving lots of cuddles and affection. I feel so safe when I know they are looking after him. A really lovely couple
We have used Cute noses 3 times now to board our Guinea Pigs whilst we go on holiday. It is lovely to know they are so well cared for and safe indoors so we don't have to worry whilst we're away. We also get regular updates and pictures which our daughter loves. Bron and Fred clearly love animals and have a lot of experience.
We have received the best service from cute noses for the past few years. Each and every time they look after our three house cats we get a detailed message outlining their visit and lots of lovely photos, which gives us great peace of mind while we are away. They have also been really accommodating with giving medicines and different dietary requirements for one of our cats. I would highly recommend their service to anyone. We were lucky to find them. The Howarth’s
Fred and Bron of cute noses have been perfectly reliable, congenial, and super helpful cat sitters for us on multiple occasions. They spend time with our two cats and play with them and send us many fantastic pictures of them while we are away. I could not imagine better pet sitters!
Cute noses (Bron and Fred) have looked after our bunnies for a few years now. Would never go anywhere else! They are both real animal lovers and I know my two are in safe hands. If we are away I always get updates in the form of photos and messages which helps me to leave them when we are away. Could not recommend them enough ❤️
What an amazing 5***** cat sitting service Cute Noses offer - I booked in with them for 2 x daily cat visits at our home during our 5 day break away, after seeing their glowing reviews, and I was not disappointed. A “pre visit” took place for Fred to meet our cat and all details of the cats needs, registered vet in case of emergency, and the cats usual feeding schedule, were noted down and religiously followed. Twice daily updates received via WhatsApp along with photos and as an added bonus Fred also kindly watered my plants daily and took charge of putting bins out and in for me. If you want your cat to stay in familiar surroundings but also need total peace of mind while you are away - look no further. This company is 100% trustworthy, reliable and fully licensed by Lincolnshire County Council. I am so happy to have found them!
Our little cat Sasha loves Bron’s visits and we are always happy to go away and leave Cute Noses in charge. Photos are sent on every visit. Can’t recommend them highly enough.
Excellent service and photos of Lola our cat are sent to us on each visit by Fred so we can see her everyday I would 100% recommend Cute Noses pet sitting service and we shall continue to use them when we are away from home
Absolutely fantastic service. Fred and Bron really care for our cats every time we have used them and always share updates when we are away. They are very reliable and the communication is faultless, I would thoroughly recommend!
Vippies is without a doubt the best dog care facility I have ever come across. These people cannot do enough for you and your pet! I leave my darling boy with them for weekends of foster care - the updates are constant, the carers are truly so committed to ensuring your dog is happy, walked, and loved the same way they would be at home. Denny loves his holidays to Cathy's or Vippies HQ and always comes home happy, or sometimes devastated to be leaving his friends!
Beautiful first puppy groom for willow Dee did an amazing job just what I asked for and she smelled amazing Thankyou Dee
Cooper has just come home from his 2nd full day at Vippies! He absolutely loves going for the day and has had a full groom too. We’ve found it’s helped his socialisation with other dogs and the staff are so friendly. Thank you!
Really happy with the care my cat received from Vippies whilst on holiday. It's my first time using them, but I received lots of pictures that reassured me he was doing okay without us, and they were super helpful adapting our care plan to increase visits at short notice. Super happy with the service
So pleased I found Vippies. The company is professionally run, with family at the heart. Having Zara look after my dog Ruby, who loves her as much as I do, is the icing on the cake. I couldn’t wish for anyone better to look after her, and all for an excellent price too. Thank you 🐾 …
The most amazing team. Sheena, Jade and Jasmin and everyone associated with Vippies are honestly so amazing. They are all so caring and go above and beyond, they’ve made me feel so at ease leaving my pup with them since I’ve moved to the area. With constant updates/ reassurance with pictures on WhatsApp, I almost thought at one point my dog wouldn’t want to come back after having so much fun! If your looking for reliable, caring and professional people to daycare/walk/dog sit your dog please look no further! Thank you again guys you are all awesome 🤍
Sheena, Jade, and the team are always welcoming, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. They have always taken the greatest care of our dogs and have already done wonders for Ted (our black labrador) who lacked socialisation as a puppy. Highly recommend using VIPPIES for your pet needs - we wouldn't take our dogs anywhere else.
Excellent efficient team…. Nothing is too much trouble. The care and compassion for looking after and walking our dogs really shines through. Maisie and Alfie always enjoy their walks and times spent in holiday care, and we can relax knowing they are having as much fun as we are!
I have been using Vippies for a few years. Rob is our main worker. He is trustworthy and on most times visits Bella and Lilly my British short haired twice a day. . He follows care plans and always does that bit extra sending photos and messages. Thanks Rob. And He leaves a treat there favourite Dreamies.
We've been taking our miniature dachshund here for about 3 weeks now and whilst he's shy and reactive around other dogs he loves that he can have cuddles and human affection here in a home from home environment. Seeing how his confidence has come on in a short space of time and his reactivity has gone down! Don't get me wrong he has a long way to go but just by being here he seems to be a happier dog. He's doesn't do well with being alone so reducing that through daycare has helped tremendously. We also get multiple photos and updates everytime he attends from him having a shy day and cuddling the staff to his walks with other dogs and playing. It's nice to see him having the confidence to actually be a dog that he just didn't have before. Also hes out like a light when we get home which is always a bonus 😂
Cannot recommend Paw & Co enough, could not have felt better leaving our puppy Bess in Erica's safe hands. You can see what your dog is getting up to on the Facebook page and staying with Erica at a young age has helped Bess come on leaps and bounds! Such a nice holiday for your dog!
I took my little Pup to Paw & Co when my partner and I were staying out for the evening at a wedding, it was the first time I had left her apart from with family so I was quite apprehensive, but Erica put me completely at ease and let me know that my pup was in good hands. She had her own room with her cage in for the night, was played with ALL night and taken on two walks - it's safe to say I had one tided pup that came back to me!! The Facebook updates that Erica posts are so great to see as a way to see what your Pup is up to and put me at complete ease. Also, the cost for a full day and overnight stay is more than reasonable! I will 100% be calling on Erica and Josh again for the next occasion when my Pup needs looking after! Great company ❤️🐶
I can’t praise Erica enough for her care of my ten month old cocker spaniel Ernest, who has just arrived back from a week at Paw & Co whilst I was away on holiday. We had to make arrangements fairly last minute after our original sitter felt Ernest didn’t settle and cancelled his stay... so I was obviously a little bit anxious; however we are so blessed Erica could accommodate Ernest and for his practice sleepover and the full week stay he has been treated as one of the family and has had a wonderful time!! He couldn’t have been in better hands... Erica is extremely knowledgable and professional; she loves every dog she has stay and puts you totally at ease. it made the holiday even better knowing he was being so well looked after. I think he has the post holiday blues now and misses Erica, Josh and his dog buddies!
We've got a nervous rescue dog but Erica has been brilliant with him. She's really taken the time to get to know him, we've got full confidence that Cody is in safe and enjoyable hands whilst we're at work. Fully recommended.
My mini dachshund Gilbert has been going to Erica for just over a year now for regular daycare and some overnight stays when we are away and he absolutely loves it!! He gets so excited when he sees her or gets to her house which I think speaks absolute volumes. I trust her 100% with him and have no problems recommending her to anyone! 😄
Our two Cocker Spaniels have been to day care and also a weekend. Erica is absolutely brilliant and her house is one massive kennel that she and Josh have organised so well
My dogs love their holidays at Paw & Co, it really is home from home for them and the love & care they receive is heart warming, they couldn’t be in safer hands
Absolutely would recommend, and use again.
This is the second time Artie and Woody have stayed here and they have been well looked after. Both the beagles were happy to go in the kennels on arrival. The kennels were lovely and clean. Thank you, we will definitely have no hesitation using the kennels in the future. Thank you 👌🏻
Our two dogs hadn’t been to a kennel before and wow I’m glad I chose this one! Carol and Shaun were so flexible, professional and kind. Their facilities are absolutely spotless and the dogs were incredibly well cared for. We have one with three legs and another with ear issues, nothing was a problem and Elderberry were more than happy to accommodate their needs. When I collected them their bedding was immaculate and even the doggies smelt fresh! This tells me they’ve been kept super clean throughout which is a must for me. The paddock area is fabulous and I could tell they’d been well exercised, it’s fab seeing the pictures of them playing each day! I will never let our boys go anywhere else, Elderberry is absolutely fantastic. Thank you both and see you next time!
First time for us leaving Willow and bluebell in kennels naturally we were anxious about choosing the right one for them but we didn't need to worry elderberry was a beautiful and very clean kennels the girls really enjoyed it and came home looking beautifully looked after we could see from the photos they were very happy we will definitely use elderberry again we couldn't have been any happier thank you for looking after our girls so well
Put our dogs in kennels for the first time, viewed a few before coming across this one and first Impressions made it stand out above the rest. Can’t express how happy I am with the service we received for our two dachshunds! Shaun tends to every need and gets to know each individual dog down the the littlest detail and can tell he has a real love for dogs! Carol uploaded some photos on their social media during their visit which is very nice to see when you miss your companions! Will definitely be using them again!
Shaun and his wife are Friendly, professional and love dogs. Teddy always has a great stay with Elderberry kennels.
It was our boy Max’s first visit and we were not disappointed with these kennels!! A totally professional service from start to finish. We were allowed to take Max’s crate and bedding so he felt safe and at home. The kennels are spotlessly clean and there’s a big paddock for exercise, a beagle needs this!! 😂. We loved seeing the photos of Max on facebook while we were away, it really reassured us that he was happy and being well looked after. I also msg’d to ask how Max had settled in and I got an answer straight away. We wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Thank you 🙏
Harry, our 2 year old Springer stayed at Elderberry for 4 days recently. As he's so young and energetic it's great that the dogs are exercised every 2 hours and Harry seemed very happy and relaxed when I picked him up. He even wanted to go back in before we left, pulling me back towards the gate when we said goodbye so thank you so much for looking after him so well. We will definitely be recommending you.
An outstanding kennels which my dog loves as much as I do! (My dog is a rescued, socially anxious terrier so this is high praise indeed) I never worry about him when we are away. He now goes once a week for day boarding and that is proving to be an excellent experience. The squeals of delight when I tell the dog we are going to see Shaun and Carol have to be seen and heard to be believed! I firmly believe his day trips to kennels are extending his life now. From booking him in to picking him up at the end of his visits, I cannot praise this hard working family business enough. Great value for money is a bonus for me! I highly recommend Elderberry Kennels.
Just picked up our dog after a week staying here. I can't praise Carol and Sean enough. They were very patient with our extremely nervous boy, Teddy and went over and beyond to help him settle. They are obviously both very experienced, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I can't thank them enough and highly recommend these kennels. What a treat to have these on our doorstep!
Thanks for looking after Lyra so well. She arrived home well fed and exercised. This is the best kennels for us nothing is too much trouble for Carol and Shaun. They are happy to give medications and Lyra's usual Rich tea biscuit each day. We've always found them professional, welcoming and caring. The kennels and exercise areas are really clean and well kept. If our Patterdale is happy then we are happy.
Our beautiful boy, Humphrey, is a regular visitor to the cattery and is extremely comfortable with all of the staff there. They send me regular updates on him and I know that he is always comfortable, well cared for and has plenty of playtime! It puts us very much at ease knowing he has such a wonderful place to stay whilst we’re away!
Me and my wife recently took our cat to Paws lodge and we were nervous about leaving him since he’s a shy nervous boy in new environments and people, but he was constantly looked after by the team who made sure he was comfortable and happy and they always provided updates to let us know how he was doing, very pleased and happy and he didn’t seem to want to leave! Would definitely recommend!
If our cats had a choice in the matter, they would permanently live at this Cattery. Cheryl and her team can do no wrong. At first we were anxious about sending our cats to a Cattery, but Paws Lodge is a home away from home. Attentive, caring and hardworking. Highly recommend.
I have been using Paws Lodge for years, and just had my three cats in again. This is by far the best cattery I have used. Both Cheryl and Sarah are absolutely lovely and very caring. My cats always seem very happy. I get lovely pictures and updates whists away, and feel safe in the knowledge that my lovely babies are receiving excellent care whilst I'm away. it really helps me relax on holiday. thank you so much again lovely ladies. xx
Left our cats here whilst we went on our honeymoon and they did a great job. Our 2 cats don’t tend to enjoy each others company because of the age gap and the younger one wanting to play all the time but there were no problems with them both being in the same pen. The staff here are super friendly too. Would definitely use again.
We have used Paws Lodge cattery for many years now for our two cats. The cats have consistently received the best care and always look happy and well fed on our return. One of our cats, who had recent surgery was looked after very well, and the staff kept us updated regularly, with photographs on how the wound was doing, which was very reassuring. They really did go above and beyond for us. We feel it is home from home for our cats and cannot praise Cheryl and her team highly enough. we would travel a long way to continue to use this Cattery. They always have the best interests of the cat at heart, and it is very obvious they love cats here.
We dropped our fourth month old kitten, Pippin, off for a six day stay. We were very nervous about leaving her due to her being so young but the staff put us at ease. The enclosures were lovely and in a lovely area. Upon picking her up, we were told she had been a 'monkey' and was very playful with the staff. We're very happy with the cattery and have a second visit booked!
100% the best Cattery! Our cat Obi has stayed with them 3 times now and every time she is super comfortable and seems very happy! Staff are so lovely and take such good care of her, they always send me updates and photos of her whenever I ask which I appreciate so much! I’d definitely recommend this Cattery to anyone<3
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We were a little anxious sending our cats to a cattery for the first time, but we instantly felt at ease when we visited Paws Lodge 🤍 They genuinely care for all of the cats that visit them and ensure that they all get dedicated attention and individual playtime with super cute photos to follow! I do not have a single bad word to say about the kindhearted staff, and it’s safe to say our cats definitely feel at home ✨
We have just picked up our little boy Chester. He has been going to Paws lodge for many years now and as always he has had a great time. The staff are amazing and caring and always put their animals first. We would never go anywhere else. Thank you, and Chester is looking forward to his next visit 😊 xx …
Sky has been going to Pippin’s for over a year now and she loves every minute she’s at day care. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our girl. Mark and Judith care about Sky’s wellbeing as much as we do, as she is a very excited doggy and loves to play all the time she is not restricted to this when she’s at day care. We couldn’t thank Judith and Mark enough for always being there for our fur baby! 🐶
Dougie has the BEST day at daycare and I wouldn't trust anyone else to have my dog. Judith has always been so flexible with my crazy schedule and I have always felt that she puts Dougie first. I know they genuinely care for my dog and send me regular videos and pictures of him playing and running around as well as snoozing when he's had a full day. I recommend Pippins to EVERYONE I know with dogs and will continue to do so for a loving environment where your dogs can thrive.
Both my dogs love going to Pippins, my older lab, Henry is given time out to rest and my dachshund puppy, Tiger is socialising with other happy dogs. Judith has created a home from home environment with a large garden for them to play in and games to keep them occupied plus regular walkies. I can’t recommend Pippins highly enough, so pleased we found it. 🐾💕🐾
I have sent my two dogs to Pippins for 18 months and I can highly recommend them! Our dogs are always well cared for and I know that their safety and happiness is as important to Judith and Mark as it is to me! I can tell that they are happy to go to Pippins from the wagging tails as they go down the path...and from the scratching at the gate to get IN!! Both dogs are very sociable with other dogs on walks and I put this down to them having spent time at Pippins where they mix with other dogs in a safe, supervised environment. The photos and videos from the day are an added bonus!
I've been taking my "special" dog Abe, to Pippins for 8 months now. I can honestly say that it's the best thing I could have done for my reactive, sensitive and slightly neurotic Bedlington Whippet. He adores Jude and Mark, plays happily with all of the other dogs that he meets and generally has a whale of a time every week. He's always tired out and his behaviour has improved so much. Jude and Mark have created a haven that is happy, safe and caring and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Mark and Jude just love all the dogs in their care like they were their own. They have created a very special place and environment for the dogs they care for. We have been taking Sammi our 3 year old spaniel to Mark and Jude (Pippins) as she was not very confident around other dogs. The change in Sammi has been fantastic. She is still cautious but that is no bad thing - but she does want to say hello and has even started to play. Can not recommend Pippins enough and the humans - Mark and Jude are just the most lovely of people. Thank you for all that you do.
At Pippin’s, Judith and Mark are brilliant and offer a fantastic daycare service. I’ve been very lucky that my dog has been with them since they opened, and she loves it there so much that when I drive into the village to drop her off, she starts whining with excitement, straining at her car-harness to get there sooner! She loves playing with their two dogs and all her doggy pals who also daycare at Pippin’s. She’s a very active dog, and not only does she get 2 walks a day, but also lots of playtime in the garden, so it’s excellent for socialization in a friendly home environment (with space for rest and naps too). They take care of all the dogs as if they are their own. They know all my dog’s quirks and her personality, and it feels like they care about her almost as much as I do. When she has boarded with them for overnights she’s been so well looked after, she settles in instantly - while I’m away she has her own little holiday camp! I even get regular photo updates of her at doggy day care, which always make me smile. Judith and Mark are professional, efficient, and also flexible when something comes up that means I can’t drop off/collect my dog at the normal time. I couldn’t ask for a better doggy day care – my girl adores her time with them and comes home a happy and wonderfully tired pup.
My dog Winnie has been going to Pippins for over 4 months, she gets very excited when I take her out of the car and she sees either Jude or Mark. Brilliant place for your dog, pleased with the recommendation I was given. Owners are great with all the dogs they send photographs and videos at the end of the day so you know Winnie has had a good day. Paula G
My dog has been going to Pippins for several weeks now and he is so excited every time he goes! He never looks back and loves seeing Jude. I am so pleased to have found someone who genuinely cares for the dogs in her care and a place that feels like a home from home for my dog. Couldn't be happier. 😊 …
I’m so pleased Pippins were recommended to me. My dog is nervous and can be reactive but he seems so settled. They really care about the dogs and provide a safe, stimulating environment that my boy loves. He comes back after his busy day and sleeps which is no mean feat when you’re a hyperactive cocker spaniel!
What can I say, we have left our cat with Karen over the last 7 years and she is brilliant. In fact when we go to collect him the cheeky monkey does not want to leave, he has plenty of space and the cattery is spotless. Karen treats him as well as all the other residents as her own which is lovely. She always does her best to accommodate if she can. Highly recommended.
As usual our two cats enjoyed first class care and accomodation. Thus giving us peace of mind to enjoy our holiday. Thank you too them.
Lovely cattery, caring and thoughtful care. Excellent communication.
Just adopted beautiful Rex, Karen was absolutely amazing. Beautiful place and very helpful.
I wouldn't say our cat enjoys going here, but she is looked after really well each time we go away for a few days and Karen is so lovely
Karen cares about all the kitties not just a business to her, she also takes on strays so if anyone wants to see her and make a donation I know she will be very great full or even rehome one of her strays
Great rescue giving cats and kittens the best chance
Despite giving short notice, Karren was able to accommodate our two cats, 4 years of age apart, who would be sharing one chalet for the first time. It was an excellent service overall and we got a prompt reply whenever we wanted to check on them via text message. Highly recommended and will be using again.
As an owner of a cat that strongly relies on medication twice a day holidays can be a very worrying time. Infact holidays become impossible as most boarding will not entertain having the extra responsibility. So finding Four Feet Retreat was a real life line for us. Karen firstly invited us for a visit with our cat were she took time to listen us talk about his needs and the best way to administer his medication. She adviced us before we went to arrange a time close when he was needing his tablets and inhaler so she could show us that she was capable of administrating them. This was such a relief to have found someone with such experience with cats. Her nature towards all of the cats in her care was remarkable and we could clearly see that this is not just a business but a person that has and unquestionably love for animals and a kindness that is not easily found these days. Karen don't ever stop what you do best and thank you. Gareth and Sallyanne
