Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Martin and Caitlin are the best house/pet sitters we've ever had. They came fully prepared (they had read through welcome packet thoroughly before they arrived), they sent the best texts and pics to reassure us all was well, and the house was immaculate when we got home. Best of all, they treated Winston like family and he clearly fell in love with them. They are considerate, trustworthy, and detail-oriented. We absolutely would love to have them back (honestly, every time we go on a trip!). They are fantastic and we are truly grateful for the care and love they showed to both our dog and our home.
Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) Thank you, Angela and Erica!
Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.
Great sitter and kept in contact regularly. Would gladly have her sit for my dog again.
Delphine was amazing. All 3 of our fur babies took an instant liking to her, which is very unusual of them. We right away knew both our cats and our dog would be happy with her. We came back to relaxed and happy pets and a clean house. We think we found our ‘go to’ house sitter with Delphine. We would love to have her over again.
Tom and Diana were perfect house sitters and guests. Great company, our dog immediately made herself at home with Tom. Animals loved and cleaned. House spotless, great communication and even left a thank you card and gift when they left. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie. She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get. She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps. Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with. I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.
Angela was fantastic. She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her! She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention. She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us! It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!! We would definitely recommend Angela. She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!

Rudy had a fabulous stay at Pet Whisperers hotel for 11 nights. We had regular updates, videos and pictures of our Boy, all were really appreciated! We could relax knowing that our boy was well looked after and constantly stimulated during the day, tired and comfortable during the night. We would recommend Pet Whisperers to take care of your four legged family member while you are on holiday.
Oxford Pet Whisperers are an exceptional team of caring and dedicated professionals whom I completely trust with our puppy. The heartwarming videos they share on Instagram always brighten my day, showing all the happy dogs playing and enjoying themselves. They provide a wide range of activities and enrichment experiences, and you can even book additional services like baths, tail trims, and full grooming. Amber absolutely loves her time with them and has grown so much more confident since she started attending. I would highly recommend Oxford Pet Whisperers to anyone looking to enhance their puppy’s socialisation. Or to anyone needing day care facilities due to work schedules.
Our golden retriever Ella is a regular daycare visitor and this year we tried the doggy hotel facilities for the first time. It gave us peace of mind as we knew she will be comfortable knowing all staff and environment, and she absolutely loved it, I don't think she was very impressed when we turned up to pick her up 5 days later, she wanted to carry on with the fun! We had a couple of updates on how she is getting on which was lovely to have. And you can see what your pup is up to during the days on Instagram account. Would definitely recommend this over regular kennels!
Lovely introduction. The business has an amazing concept with everything to make the dogs and the owners happy. So much space and all is clean and safe. Even the air gets filtered. My dog didn't want to come with me home after 30 minutes there.
once again Oxford pet whisperer have outdone themselves my little baby Frenchie had the time of his life actually came back with some extra manners. They also managed to squeeze me in a short note as I had to go away thank you very much for everything you’ve done.
We booked our dog in for a puppy groom last year. We looked online and saw that it was going to cost £10 but were surprised by hidden charges and ended up paying around £35-£40. The female groomer was not friendly towards our dog and did not even ask for his name, then was rude when we arrived back a few minutes late to collect him. He did not look well groomed and certainly did not look happy in his post groom photo (see pic). Upon returning home we found out why as the groomer had cut him under the eye and did not tell us. It looked like she had just washed the wound and covered it up. Luckily it did not become infected. We were very displeased and frankly disgusted with the service but due to other factors in life getting in the way at the time we never reached out to Oxford Pet Whisperers, hence the late review. We would certainly not return nor recommend their services to anyone else.
From the start, they have been very accommodating, professional and so friendly! We love the amount of time our pup gets to play and socialise with her friends as well as the first week report card and ongoing photos we can see on social media during her visits! A really well-run and dog centric business who we will be sure to continue to use 👍🏻
All I can say is that this company provides a fantastic service - my 16 week Frenchie had the time of his life playing and mixing with the other dog and staff. thanks for all the support and kindness you gave to my little boy.
Thank you so much for another fabulous groom on Friday. The family commented on how silky soft his coat was and he smelt fabulous. Teddy is so happy at OPW he goes off happily and comes home content and in need of a good long snooze. Having a bath/groom at OPW is a must, especially if the children/grandchildren are home for the weekend as Teddy looks and smells great. Roll on his Christmas groom . This is Teddy asking the cats to smell his lovely clean coat.
Couldn’t recommend highly enough! Jamie, Natalie and the team are amazing. I’ve been sending my dog Cooper to oxford pet whisperers for a year and a half now since he was a puppy and I wouldn’t dream of using any other daycare/dog walking service. They are experts in their field and take such good care of Cooper. He comes home tired out for the evening after a day at daycare and as soon as I turn the corner in to the car park to drop him off, he gets so excited! The pick up and play service is great too as it allows me to be a lot more flexible with work! The daily updates on Instagram are fantastic as it allows you to see what your dogs been getting up to in the day. Couldn’t give a more glowing review ⭐️
I have known Amanda for several years as she used to occasionally look after our dog who we sadly lost last summer. We now have a rescue spaniel who hadn't been socialised sufficiently and could be anxious around other dogs. After only a handful of sessions in their wonderful private paddock, we can see Willow's confidence improving. Amanda and her team provide a safe and caring environment for our much loved pets and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
I’ve been absolutely delighted with Amanda and her team, having recently stopped working from home and needing support with my German Shorthaired Pointer during the day. Amanda shows the utmost professionalism - she is highly experienced and also clearly loves what she does and does an excellent job. I love getting the photo updates and am convinced my dog is in the best hands. I was worried about leaving her but any anxiety dissipated straight away. We are very lucky and I cannot recommend SOPS highly enough.
Fantastic, friendly and caring service from South Oxon Pet Services. Amanda recently looked after our 3 cats, coming in twice a day to ensure they had everything they needed and keeping them busy with cat treat puzzles and other games. I always worry about leaving the cats but Amanda kept us reassured with plenty of photos and videos. Highly recommend!
I have used the boarding services of South Oxon Pet Services for a number of years now for my two Working Cocker Spaniels. It is great to see the daily photos of my dogs out on their walks while my wife and I are on holiday or when South Oxon Pet Services have them for the day. I can highly recommend their services and have total faith my dogs are in good hands.
I first used SOPS 8 years ago for my Cockapoo Cracker. I was anxious about leaving him for the first time but he had a wonderful stay . It was lovely to see daily photos of him on Facebook while I was away. Amanda and Tony are friendly and easy to get on with and provide a safe, stimulating and caring environment for the animals they look after. Cracker and I moved away to Wales a few years ago but I recently used their services again. Cracker made himself at home instantly as if he’d never been away and on my return, apart from being delighted to see me of course, he was relaxed and clearly had a wonderful holiday too. Thank you SOPS. I highly recommend their services to anyone.
Saying THANK YOU is not enough for the service Amanda and Tony provides. We were going away for ten days for the first time since we have adopted Ruby more than two years ago. She is a sensitive and stressed senior girl around anyone new. Amanda reassured us prior our departure that everything will be fine and provided regular updates with pictures and videos through our stay. Ruby seemed to get used to with Amanda and Tony quickly, which demonstrates how caring and loving they are. When we have returned Ruby didn't seemed stressed and she look well looked after and happy. After all Amanda gave Ruby her favorite treats :). They have also ensured that our bins were moved in and out of the property for collection, and even potted up plant plugs when they were delivered while we were away and saved all the plants. I will definitely use South Oxon Pet Service again and will recommend anyone looking for affordable and the best pet service they can have by miles. Thank you both!
Having never used a pet sitting service before I wasn’t really sure what to expect but Amanda exceeded my expectations. Her service was personalised and the care she gave for our cat Ozzi was exceptional. He injured his paw which required stitches just before we went on holiday. This meant he was housebound for a week which he is not used to and is a timid cat by nature. She visited twice daily and administered his antibiotics and took him for his check up at the vets and kept us updated with her fantastic photos and gave us the reassurance we needed that he was in good hands. We returned from our 2 week holiday to a very contented cat and his paw has healed beautifully. I highly recommend South Oxon Pet Services and would not hesitate to use them again. 🐈⬛🥰
Amanda has looked after willow since she was 4 months old ,she was recommended by a friend ,willow was a very nervous puppy when we got her and was literally scared of everything and everyone willow was so bad biting all the time and not just puppy biting really biting that we very nearly got rid of her ,Amanda was so good and patient with willow and treated her like she was her dog even took her home to play with her dogs Now 2 years later willow is a different dog so calm cuddly and very loving although she still has some nervoness in her until she trust you then she's your best friend Amanda has been amazing for willow she goes out everyday with Amanda for walks and boards at her house when we go away willow knows when the door bell rings it's Amanda and looks forward to seeing her and her walks if it wasn't for Amanda and all her help and training willow would not be with us now would definitely recommend Amanda and south oxon pet services 100%
Amanda took great care of our cat whilst we were on holiday. It was so much easier leaving him at home knowing he would have visits and be fussed over, than taking him to a cattery. It was wonderful to see pictures of him on Facebook and Amanda kept in touch to let us know how he was getting on so we didn't need to worry! We came back to a very happy cat (we didn't even have the usual post holiday sulk, either!!). Would very much recommend to anyone looking for someone to look after their fur-baby whilst they're away!
Amanda/Nicky ensured our girls were well looked after over the Christmas break. Easy comms and cute daily updates with pictures. Competitively priced and professional approach. Would recommend their services.
Joanna gave our dog the best couple of days. Her response to messages was amazing and during our holiday we received wonderful photos and video’s. Thoroughly recommend Haddon Pet Services.
Macey walks our dog twice a week and he always comes back a happy pooch, he loves her! Punctual, friendly and professional service.
Our Peggy loves staying with Lorain and her lovely labs at Dog Haven Boarding! Whether it’s a weekend trip or just a daycare session, the dogs are occupied and engaged and get plenty of love and cuddles. We are so glad to have found them as it really has been like a home from home for Peggy, she even knows exactly where she’s going once we turn off at the roundabout and gets all excited in the car! You can tell Lorain really cares for the dogs and gets to know them and all their little quirks to make sure their normal routines aren't disrupted too much. We also get plenty of photo updates which really make us smile! We would recommend Dog Haven Boarding 100%!
We were away for a week, and our energetic furball Rocco had the time of his life with Lorain and his new best friend, Ronnie. Our 3-year-old Golden Retriever was truly receiving top-notch care every step of the way. We absolutely loved the daily updates—his big smile, fun walks, and happy eating made us feel at ease knowing he was in the best hands. We highly recommend Dog Haven to anyone looking for a loving and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Lorain for taking such wonderful care of him
Having recently moved into this area we are so pleased to have found Dog Haven Boarding. Lorain is so thoughtful and kind and has really helped our dog Oscar to settle and feel at home with her and her other dogs. We have really appreciated the way she looks after him and we love the regular photos throughout each day! We would highly recommend her to others. Thank you so much Lorain!
Lorain and her lovely family look after our highly strung English bulldog every year when we go on our holidays. It’s a home from home for our four legged baby, she loves it. Our Lola is always well cared for and looked after during her stay. Amazing service!
Lorain has looked after my rescue dog who does not warm to people easily. However, the moment he entered Dog Haven he was at ease and instantly loved Lorain (unusual for him). He had a fantastic weekend and didn’t want to come home! Lorain kept us updated with how he was getting on. It is such a lovely place for dogs and felt like a little holiday for him. It’s a real home from home for dogs - thanks so much Lorain!
Lorain has looked after my greyhound for the last couple of years and she loves it there. It’s like home from home for her and much less stressful than a traditional kennels. Highly recommend!
We have used Dog Haven Boarding on numerous occasions and it is a god send for our two little fur babies! We were not keen with putting our dogs in kennels, particularly as our little Yorkipoo is very needy, so when we found Lorain and her family offering daycare, overnight stays, including holidays in a home environment we were so pleased. We went for an initial visit to meet Lorain and to see how our dogs would enjoy the stay, and interact with Lorain’s own lovely labradors. It is a clean home, with a good sized, safe enclosed garden for the dogs to play and enjoy the outdoors. They are also taken for walks outside of the house in small groups during daycare on leads, as safety of the dogs is taken seriously. I think this is really important for routine and also provides further stimulation. Photo updates during the day gives reassurance and is a nice touch. After daycare, on collection, both our dogs appear very happy, so we know they have been well looked after whilst in daycare with Lorain and often are very keen to get back into the house when we return. We also used Dog Haven Boarding for our first holiday away since we got the dogs and we were very anxious. Lorain listened to our requirements and met all the needs for our dogs whilst we were away. So it was easy to enjoy our time away without worrying about the dogs. Again the photo and video updates really helped us to stay relaxed and not worry so much. Lorain is very approachable and has a lovely manner. She often responds at short notice and she is totally amazing with our dogs. If you are considering a home environment for daycare or whilst you are on holiday, I would highly recommend using Dog Haven Boarding!
I can't recommend Lorain highly enough. She clearly loves dogs, and they clearly love being with her - dog people will understand what this means. I always used to feel guilty going on holiday and taking my black lab to kennels. Not any more. As soon as we are near Dog Haven he knows exactly where he is and is visibly excited and happy. Loraine sends through regularly updates during the stay and I'm always happy knowing that our dog is being well cared for.
My two dogs were instantly at ease with Lorain, as was I. She has the loveliest manner with dogs, and I felt very happy to leave my boys with her. They came back happy and tired. When we went for our second visit, they could not wait to get back through her door! I am delighted I have found Lorain , and we will now be regular visitors.
Our black lab loves going twice a week and he is treated like a member of the family. We cannot recommend it highly enough. A fantastic friendly service where the wellbeing of the dog is taken very seriously. First class and much appreciated....thank you.
Excellent service. Cares so much for all our animals, including 4 dogs and 2 chickens. Very trustworthy and professional. I'm so glad we've found Little Paws.
We have been using Little Paws to do puppy visits and short walks for our new puppy. Carla is always punctual and I love getting a photo / video from every visit. She has been great at giving Raffie lots of different experiences - playing in the garden, walk to the park, training on the long lead, walking with one of her own dogs etc. I am more than happy to recommend Little Paws and will be using them for doggy day care and home boarding in the future.
We checked our dog Basil in for day care recently. We were nervous as it was his first time away from us but Carla reassured us. She did an amazing job with him, introduced him to her dogs and kept us updated via WhatsApp with messages and videos. Would definitely reccomend!
If you have a dog who needs day care or a boarding service - this is the place you want to send them, The lady that runs it is very nice and polite , the dogs have a very nice time here! And they have a big garden witch the dogs can run around 👍 they deserve the 5 star ! …
Our little dog Mabel, 9 year old terrier of this parish has enjoyed staying with Carla and her family in the past and is now very excited that she will now stay in a 4* doggy hotel 🐕🦴🐕🦴 …
Highly recommend Little Paws great service very professional and looked after our dog Spot for 3 weeks whilst I was in Bali, we got regular updates and our guy had a great time !
Lynette takes wonderful care of my cat and guinea pigs while I’m away! Such lovely pictures and updates for my peace of mind too. Perfect!
Claire and her terrific team have always done a wonderful job taking care of our cats. I highly recommend them!
Our lovely Molly has grown in confidence over the years she has been walking with Claire and her brilliant team. She looks forward to hearing Claire come through the gate and does a crazy little dance every week - couldn't have asked for a better service or better care. Molly has also loved her mini breaks with Claire - highly recommended.
Claire and her team are friendly, reliable, trustworthy & you can tell they really care about the animals they look after. My dog gets just as much love & attention with Claire as he does at home, with the added benefit of lots of lovely walks! The photo updates I get are great too. I would recommend Outward Hounds to anyone.
I would 100% recommend Claire and Outward Hounds Dog Walking and Pet Services. Claire’s passion for the service she provides is clear to see from first meeting her. She offers such a unique personal service and cares for each dog as if they were her own. She is a god send!
Outward Hounds provide a great service, dogs always come home happy, tired and clean! They love their walks with Claire and it's obvious she loves the dogs she works with. Would highly recommend.
Cody has really enjoyed going out on his walks with Clare and other team members at Outward Hounds. Mixing with other dogs as well has been brilliant as part of his social and ongoing training. Clare's upbeat personality, reassurance and no nonsense attitude has really helped with this and she takes everything in her stride! Thank you :)
We feel so lucky to have found Outward Hounds for our dog. Exceptional day care service and walks. We wouldn’t trust our dog with anyone else. He gets so much love and attention, always coming home happy, tired and fulfilled. Would highly, highly recommend.
Perfect example of a personal service. The team are great, our pup gets a really good walk (often for much longer than we expect). They accommodate us last minute when needed for busy days at work. My only worry is he likes them more than us :)
We have used outward hounds for nearly a year now Claire and the team are extremely professional give great communication and are good value for money I would highly recommend their services.
Having recently moved to the area with a 5 month old GSP puppy, we knew finding the right care was going to be important for us & our pup. Jacqui & the team have been fabulous in accommodating our ever changing needs. They have been fabulous at taking things slowly with our pup, introducing her gradually to new places & new friends. They have been consistent with re-enforcing whatever training we have been working on & she is always happily shattered when she gets home. We couldn't be happier with Sallie & Tilly for her daycare play dates & Aliyah for fun walks. We are so grateful our pup is in kind & experienced hands with Jacqui & the team.
My dog is basically my child so I’m very fussy about leaving her with people. I am therefore so happy to have found We Love Pets. Jacqui has introduced me to some truly lovely people who have made my dog so happy and put my mind at ease. I have no qualms leaving her now as I know I can completely trust that she will be well looked after. Highly recommended - five stars plus!
Our whole experience with We Love Pets has been fantastic. The initial consultation in our home was so reassuring. Jacqui is so thorough, sensible and understanding. Then our first daycare session went so well, our dogs were so calm when I collected them and had really bonded with the person taking care of them. I feel I can really trust this company and will definitely be using them again, as I have total peace of mind about our dogs' wellbeing.
Having We Love Pets with Jacqui, Denise and the team in our lives is amazing and we couldn’t ask for better dog care. They have been incredibly caring and loving with our excitable dog Buster. He goes out and has the best adventures and comes home to a cozy, cuddly home, where we always know he’s looked after with the best care. Denise and Jacqui are both amazing and knowing your dog is going to safe and loving hands makes going away that much better. Can’t recommend We Love Pets Wantage enough!
Jacqui and the team at We Love Pets are so much more than dog walkers/sitters. I feel so reassured when I need to leave our dog, knowing they care as much as we do. It’s not just a job for them, they genuinely care & I can’t recommend them enough. Recently I had arranged for our Jack Russell to be walked and I was a bit worried as she hadn’t been herself that morning. I just emailed to let them know & Jacqui called me & arranged to spilt the walk and check on her twice so I could be reassured. Our dog was absolutely fine but it was so nice to know she was being kept an eye on.
Jacqui, her team and family were the perfect minders for our little puppy Mia. She felt at home immediately and we knew instantly that she was in good, safe, caring, professional and trustworthy hands. Mia was so happy at the end of her first day. Jacqui is excellent at communicating and has all the skills needed to work with dogs. I would give Jacqui a highest recommendation.
Jacqui and the team have been absolutely amazing and I would happily recommend them to anyone. My dog is slightly nervous when meeting new people and it takes him a little time to build trust. They were gentle, kind and patient with him and now have a great bond. I've never used dog walkers in all my years of dog ownership (over 15 years) so it was a big thing for me to trust someone else with my dog, to take care of him and to not reinforce and negative behaviour. I only wish I could take these ladies with me to where I'm relocating! Special mention goes to India, who does most of the walks, I love and appreciate the little notes and I'm so grateful for your caring attitude towards my boy.
We used We Love Pets Wantage for the first time recently. Having experienced the most awful pet sitter previously we were super cautious about booking another one. Needless to say we didn't need to worry. From start to finish the service was faultless. Jacqui put us at ease and carefully selected the most suitable person for us and Rosa worked out just perfectly. We had regular updates and photos sent and came back to very happy animals in great shape who'd obviously had a very enjoyable week. Our house had also been very well looked after too which was an added bonus. We will certainly use them again when we need pet sitters. Thank you Jacqui
Fantastic service. Thoughtful, caring dog walks tailored for each dog. Professionally run by consistent, flexible and transparent staff who genuinely care about our pets. Highly recommend this service, it’s the best I’ve ever used.
We contacted the Wantage branch of We Love Pets when we unexpectedly and suddenly needed care for a family dog, because his owner ended up in hospital. What a fantastic service they gave - finding a last-minute ‘holiday home’ for him, collecting him, taking him to a vet appointment, and generally welcoming him to the family. And Jacqui, who arranged all this, was so nice and helpful, and made things so easy in a stressful situation. And she kept us posted with photos to show how well he had settled in. We would highly recommend this company and, if future care is needed, would go back there immediately. A big ‘thank you’ to the We Love Pets team.
I’m one of those dog mums that , Well to be fair is really nervous about leaving my pup (( she’s always a pup even though she’s nearly 8)) with anyone.. so to find Yasmin on Facebook last year and saving her details was the best thing I have done… I read several comments and read her posts and reviews with great interest. So a couple of months ago after several messages back and forth and lots of reassurance from Yasmin we met had a walk and low and behold this weekend we had a family wedding so Yasmin’s service was required and to say that I felt so happy that my Smartie was in safe hands was brilliant! I received pics throughout the day and knowing she was having the best time as if we were with her was so reassuring. I definitely recommend and will be using Yasmin again. Thank you Yasmin you are truly amazing. 😊
Highly highly recommend! Yaz walks our crazy pooch on a regular basis and she literally has the best time on her walks! She always updates with pics. We are sooo grateful for Yaz & our doggy gets so excited when we mention Yaz’s name on her dog walking days 😊 …
Initial correspondence was Paw-fect and Yasmin is very friendly. Our dog took to her straight away. Yasmin took care of our lovely boy whilst we were away. Cannot thank her enough for looking after him for his walkies. Definitely come back for more care in the future.
Yasmin is our 2 dogs walker and they absolutely love her! We are really happy with her, she walks them weekly and she'll be pet sitting too over the summer, and hopefully every time we need to go away :-)
Yasmin did an amazing job looking after our dog for the night! She is very reliable and left the house spotless. She kept us in the loop about our dog. We are looking forward to booking Yasmin again for a week in the summer!
A great Thank you to Yasmin, I would recommend Paw-fection/ Yasmine anytime. We were kept updated and our Dog Troya was so well looked after and spoilt whilst we were away on holiday. Yasmine has a real love for the Pets she walks or looks after.
My dog absolutely loves her aunty Yasmin! I highly recommend her as a dog walker! Yasmin is kind, trustworthy and professional. My dog has weekly walks with Yasmin, I have also used her daycare and pop in service on occasion too and Will absolutely continue to do so. I always know my dog is in good hands 🥰 …
Yasmine has been looking after our dog Bruno since he was 8 weeks old. She built up a lovely bond with him during puppy play sessions at our house, whilst he wasn’t allowed out, and now she takes him out in group walks. It’s easy to see that this isn’t just a job for Yasmine, she genuinely loves and cares for all of the dogs she looks after. Bruno absolutely adores her. He can be a bit stubborn and slow at walking, but she’s always so patient and encouraging to get him walking. Yasmine has also done overnight dog sitting/care for Bruno too. It was so nice to go away knowing he was in safe hands and being more than well looked after. The house was immaculate when we returned. I can honestly recommend all the services. We’re so happy with Yasmine and knowing he’s being so well looked after in her care.
Yasmin is brilliant, reliable and clearly loves dogs! She’d been a great help keeping an eye on my dog who adores her!
Yaz and her partner house sat for me for just over a week whilst I was on holiday in Costa Rica. They did an amazing job of looking after my Boxer dog Twiggy, my marine fish and my chicken. Yaz took extra special care of Twiggy, baking her treats and taking her for exciting days out. In all honesty, I don’t think Twiggy wanted me to come home haha. Thank you so much 🐾
I went to collect my aunt's dog so she wasn't alone over Christmas. When I arrived the staff were friendly, helpful and it was clear they genuinely cared about the wellbeing of the animals in their care.
Excellent care of my dog Chester, as always. Can’t recommend Lynda and her caring team enough. Facilities are spotless and both indoor and outdoor kennels are spacious and very well maintained. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Very helpful lady, who managed to accommodate our 5 1/2 yr old dog at very short notice. The kennels are very secure, exceptionally clean, with generous individual indoor and outdoor accommodation and our dog was more than well catered for - he was happy and clean when we arrived to collect him and had made numerous new friends. Food choices and the distribution of his daily medication was all attended to. I would highly recommend Acremead and will definitely be a return visitor. Many thanks to Lynda and her wonderful staff.
Our girls have just spent a weekend at Acremead Kennels and we are really pleased with our first experience. This has been the first time we have left our 2 dogs for more than 1 night so we were quite nervous. My wife called to check in and was told “no news is good news” and to enjoy our time away which we found reassuring. Both dogs were happy and well looked after during their stay, we have come home and booked them in for 2 weeks in the summer. Thank you!
Our pup has just spent 3 weeks at Acremead. This is her second time there and she has been very well looked after. She was pleased to see us though. We also used them for our other dog who was always happy there. I would definitely recommend them
Stood outside the gates, phoned up and was greeted by a very unfriendly lady. Didnt seem to want to help and let me know how stupid i was for just coming over to see what it was like!! Some people actually want to see where they are dropping of their family pets before signing forms and paying 100£ deposits!
We put our two dogs in for 6 days in February 2022. They were well looked after and definitely got more walks than if they'd been at home. It was their first time in kennels. No problems. Would thoroughly recommend.
My dogs are always extreamly well looked after when they go to Acremead, I have no hestation recomending them. This is a family business and customers should respect this, i find people are too quick to use Google reviews to air thier disrespect. If anyone wants to make a charity donation, thats thier own prerogative. The loss of a family pet is very difficult as they are a very well loved member of your family, and the loss is very sad, but please keep your grief private rather than use it to belittle others.
Always take our whippet Slinky here as does the rest of the family. He always comes home in great condition although he does tell us off. 😁 …
What a way to make money off of the death of my beautiful dog, Ellie, rest in peace. - Refusing to refund £50.00 deposit, which was going to be donated towards the research of Gastric Dilation/Torsion in dogs. Enjoy your £50.
Louis was recently visited by Sonia and judging by how much he adored Sonia, it was a success! Louis can be very timid and anxious which means that making arrangements for him, when we’re away, can be difficult. Sonia, thank you for taking such good care of Louis and for all the cuddles and treats.
Edit 13/05/24 - we’ve just returned from a holiday and just an update to say we still think Sonia is the very best. Our cat is getting quite elderly now but we have no worries about her care. We wouldn’t use anyone else because we know she’s in such safe hands when we go away. I cannot recommend Sonia and her team highly enough. They are reliable, trustworthy and very caring. I know that when I go away I don’t have to worry about my cat because she is in safe hands. They send photos daily which is such a lovely thing to do (that’s Tetley giving a high 4 to Sonia!). You really won’t find a better service than this!
Sonia has looked after our cat Lulu when we go on holiday for nearly two years now and we're so glad we found her! It really takes the worry out of going away as we know Lulu is in the best hands. Communication is brilliant - we get updates and lots of photos every day. Lulu loves all the cuddles and attention, and I think she is always a bit disappointed when we get home! I'd recommend the Jeeves and Woofster team 100%.
As full time workers, when we moved to Abingdon we wanted to make sure our Dachshund Otto was in good hands. When we met Sonia and Poppy, we knew we'd found the right person! Otto loves going off on his walks (if only he was as excited to see us as he is when Sonia knocks on the door!). So much so that, even though I am on maternity leave, we still have Sonia come and take him out for a run around the fields with his buddies. We also love that we can see what fun he's had through her updates and photos.
Sonia has looked after our cat numerous times when we've been on holiday and she is absolutely fantastic. She really cares about the animals she looks after and emails me lots of photos and detailed message every time she visits. Tab (who is a pretty aloof cat) adores her and you can tell from the pictures that Sonia spends a lot of time on each visit fussing and playing with her as well as filling up her food and water. I can't recommend highly enough!
Sonia has been walking our dog Zia twice a week for over 6 months. From these walks she's grown from a disobedient puppy into a very well behaved 1 year old. The walks are great for her socialization and also she's happy for the rest of the day and night. Sonia is extremely reliable and professional and if there are any issues she'll always text or call. It goes without saying she loves her job and the dogs love her
Probably the best cat sitting experience I (and my cats) have ever had. Sonia and Dziugas kept in touch regularly while we were away, and were attentive to our cats' particular needs and idiosyncrasies. The cats got lots of attention and stimulation, and we appreciated the regular pictures of their visits. I felt the cats were cared for by people who really love animals - which gave me peace of mind. And when we came home, the cats seemed relaxed.
Finding someone you trust to walk and look after your dog is a big, and sometimes difficult, decision. Sonia is the perfect person to do this. When my Labradoodle, Pepper, was a puppy, Sonia helped out in a few emergency situations by coming to my house and keeping Pepper company; playing with her in the garden and making sure she was fed, watered and exercised! Having someone I could trust to do this meant a lot to me, especially as Pepper was so young. More recently, Sonia has taken Pepper on walks with her own wonderful dog, Poppy. Poppy is an incredibly sociable, gentle and obedient dog, who Pepper loves to play with. Whenever Pepper has been out walking with Sonia, I can always tell that she has had a great time - a wagging tail and an exhausted dog says it all! If you choose to trust your puppy or dog with Sonia, you won’t be disappointed. She is incredibly friendly, professional and cares very much about all the dogs who she looks after. You and your dog will be in very good hands!
We left our cat in Sonia’s very good care and we were able to have a holiday free from worry. We knew he was being very well looked after, and the photo updates were a nice addition. We will definitely be booking again and would heartily recommend their services.
Having only had a cat for a few months ourselves, we were worried about going on holiday for 2 weeks and leaving him for the first time, but after seeing the incredible reviews on the Facebook and google page and from seeing their interactions with other cats on there we were reassured he would be in safe hands. I can not recommend Sonia and the team enough, before we went they were very thorough and took the time to meet him and we were able to go through in person and write out all of his 'instructions' in a form that reassured us that he would be given the care he normally gets! Sonia thought of things that we had forgotten (like bringing a timer for lights and turning the Alexa radio on so he wouldn't get too lonely)! We were able to relax on holiday knowing he was well looked after and we looked forward to our twice daily photos and updates very much!! He seemed to bond really nicely with them and even seem disappointed when we returned!!! 😂 He learnt lots of fun tricks which he enjoys showing us even now! We will be using Jeeves and woofster for every holiday from now on without hesitation, and we are even happier booking holidays knowing he will be happy and in great company (more holidays for us)! Thank you Sonia and the team!! 🥰
