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.

Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa! We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best! First, communication was fabulous from the start. They put me at ease before they ever got here. Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures. They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world). They handled her medications with no problem. It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them! I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!
David was a great sitter for our dog! It was just him for this sit. He was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. He visited the apartment before we left to meet our dog and talk with us, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was in good hands. He sent us updates throughout the stay, and left the apartment in great condition. While our dog is on the older side, he can still be a handful at times, but David didn’t seem to have any problems. Would definitely recommend David for any future sit!
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!
Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!
Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.
This was our first experience with TH and we are very pleased. From the moment Rose arrived we knew she was the right sitter for our “kids”. Communication while we were away was great with pics of the dogs as well as text messages. Rose cared for our home and our “kids” with great care, she is very conscientious of your space. Extremely pleased with the care she provided to our “kids” and our home. We have another trip planned in a couple of weeks and are happy Rose will be staying in our home again. I highly recommend Rose as a sitter!
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.
Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly. We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house. Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues. We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs. Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
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!!

Jen has been an absolute life saver. We've got two toy poodles, both nervous out in public & with new people. One of them is extremely reactive with everything outside, especially other dogs, it was unbearable to walk him because he would just constantly cause such a scene and humiliate me - even if the other dog was miles away. After just 4x 30min sessions with Jen, he's like a completely new dog & we don't even use treats anymore - just verbal commands. Our walks are now enjoyable and he is really listening both inside and outside the house. He can now walk past other dogs without a single growl and it absolutely amazes me every time because of how bad he was before. Both mine & the boys confidence on walks has grown MASSIVELY! We also had a BIG issue with the boys fighting each other. To the extent that they were both muzzled in the house or separated with baby gates constantly - our lives revolved around keeping them completely separate, we were pretty much at the end of our tether after going through it for over a year now. Myself and my partner both got hurt constantly trying to separate them & I was in tears most evenings. We had actually worked with behaviourists in the past but the only solutions we had been given were buzz collars (which we also had to use for walks with their reactivity), citronella sprays or muzzles etc and it never solved the issue. We honestly thought we might have to rehome one and I just couldn't bring myself to... so we just struggled for so long until we did some research and found Jen @ DoggybGood. After one assessment & observation she manage to fix our biggest issue without even having to have a training session with them! Now we don't use any muzzles or buzz collars or sprays etc & they're best friends. They now sleep together, play together & once or twice I've even caught the odd cuddle... which if you'd seen them before you'd never believe! It has literally changed our lives now and I can enjoy being a dog owner again because for the last year I physically couldn't imagine it - Highly Recommend!
We contacted Jen to help us with training our new puppy Teddie. After our first meeting it became apparent that Teddie and the whole family that required the training.! Immediately Teddie was captivated with Jen and he was very quick to learn. Jen asked us to describe the personalities of the family and was able to tell us why Teddie was a little aggressive to our oldest son (the quietest in the family). The training was broken down into bite size parts which allowed us to practice in between lessons. I am pleased to say after 4 weeks training we all passed with flying colours. We continue to practice on a daily basis and this has really made a difference. We will be booking on the advanced course very soon. Jen - you are a star, thank you for all of your help, we were getting very stressed before you trained us all but we are now having lots of fun with our new addition to the family. Highly recommended.
Bailey spent two days with Jen and had the best time! Lots of walks on the beach, met lots of doggy friends, I'm not sure he wanted to come back home 🤣. Jen also kindly sent lots of photos and videos during his stay. Thank you so much Jen, will definitely contact you again next time 😊 …
We have just had 4 sessions with Jen which have been transformational in our relationship with our dog. Jen encouraged the whole family to be involved which ensured we all (children too) learnt new ways to communicate and improve our dogs understanding and behaviour. Jen is very friendly and accommodating and ultimately has great knowledge which means she's great at what she does. Highly recommended! Luke and family
Would highly recommend Jen. Lovely friendly advice that has helped us work with our puppy in a more positive way. Jen is great fun and very inspiring. We have seen lots of changes in our dog and we have more confidence now knowing what we need to do to handle unwelcome behaviour. Jen goes through all the basics week by week but is always willing to take the time to answer questions and work with issues we are having.
Jen is a lifesaver. She has really helped us tremendously with our puppy, Lola, who is now well behaved and a pleasure to walk and play with. Jen adapted her training to meet our needs and gave us good practical advice based on her experience. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
I have a lovely Boston Terrier puppy called Coco. Coco's sister Winnie who lives with my sister was getting training from Doggybgood and was doing so well that I decided to get in on the action. Jen was great with Coco from the very start, Coco just loves Jen and responded so well to her request, following her lead better than we could have ever imagined. We now have a very well behaved puppy who is still learning more every day. It's created such a lovely bond between myself, partner and Coco. The homework was the best part as watching Coco grow was priceless. I would highly recommend Doggybgood, Jen really does dedicate all her time to knowing what is best for your dog and passes her expertise onto you with really clear training for both you an your puppy. I feel like I have been well educated over the 4 week puppy training course. Jen's doggy training toys are really great too, Coco loves her training mat. We all are looking forward to working with Jen @ doggybgood again.
Jen has been amazing over the last 4 week when it comes to train. She’s is professional and friendly so you know where you stand. Jen has help me and my partners understanding and bond with our dog become stronger. Training has become fun for both us and our dog. Slowly but surly we have noticed a difference in our dog’s behaviour we highly recommend Jen.
Jen looked after my old greyhound recently while we went on a short break. Jen is very friendly and personable, she has a real genuine love of dogs. We met up multiple times before he boarded with her so he could meet the other dogs she looks after. All the other dogs were friendly and she had done a lot of training with them herself. He had a trial night as well before his stay. During his stay I had lots of videos and photos of Turbo playing games, going for walks and chilling in the garden. I genuinely feel that he had a fab time and because he'd got to know them all, he wasn't anxious at all. I will definitely be using doggybgood again in the future.
Jen has done a wonderful job with Archie our Staffordshire bull terrier puppy- training him over the past few months. We went for an 8 week package and he has benefited from it enormously. Jen is a great trainer, friendly with lots of experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs to train their puppy or dog. She is very reasonably priced and offers overnight stays and day boarding. This is particularly handy if u need to go out for the day and you don’t like using kennels. Thanks Jen 👍
I have sent my puppy Buddy (almost 10 months) to Simon & Leah twice for home boarding & am really happy with the service they provide. My dog is a lab & at times can be hard work as he is still young and in training, Simon & Leah are great with him, follow his daily schedule best they can & know exactly how to cater for his needs. Their dog Koda is great with Buddy, they go on walks by the beach & he always comes home super sleepy after having so much fun. I feel really comfortable leaving him with them & will continue to use them going forward! Thank you
From the moment we met Simon and Leah we knew we were putting our puppy in safe hands. Betsy was a 6 month old Newfoundland with an abundance of energy like all puppies do. Simon and Leah’s calming dedicated nature immediately put our minds at rest. Betsy attends daily walks and once a week day care. Because of the lock down we were unable to socialise Betsy in the normal manner so her interaction with other dogs when with Simon and Leah has become invaluable and her confidence and recall have improved immensely. Betsy now waits by the door each morning ready for them to arrive. I feel blessed to have found Simon and Leah and I can’t thank them enough for the love and care they give Betsy every day.
They walked my dog he loved his walks with we love pets, there service and quality is fantastic timing excellent l would very highly recommend they are now doing house sitting ect l love the fact when you go to them you have peace of mind and can fell your animal will be safe in there hands and the staff are very kind and caring X
Simon and Leah are amazing. They came to visit us at home with our dog and took the time to get to know her needs and quirks. It was obvious they had a very calming effect on her and she took to them quickly. She has the best day when she goes to stay with them at doggy day care. So much so that I'm worried she won't want to come back one day. Highly recommend!
Great company to use. Very professional and really care about the animals and the service they offer. My dog is so excited every time staff walk him and I know he is in safe hands. Could not recommend highly enough. So happy I have found this company.
Simon and Leah are amazing! They are truly passionate about what they do and are so caring and so so helpful, often at short notice. They are super reliable and dependable and very professional. My Husksy absolutely loves them both and they are so kind to her.. she gets taken on some lovely walks and has been so calm and well behaved since they have been walking her. I would highly recommend them and would never have her walked or looked after by anyone else. A tip top service!! Thank you so much Simon and Leah for your kind care.
Simon, Leah and their team of fab dog walkers are simply brilliant! I can rest assured that my dog is safe and getting good exercise/socialisation. Good communication, value for money, trustworthy and reliable. I've relied on Simon and Leah for dog sitting too - a home from home for my dog. They've gone out of their way to help pick up and drop off, as a non-driver, and haven't ever charged extra for this! Lovely folks who really do love pets! :)
I didn't know Simon and Leah before they started boarding my dog for me. Simon and Leah are completely professional, before starting regular boarding for me, they met with me to discuss, what I needed when I needed it and discussed in detail about my dog and her needs. She always looks forward to seeing them! I do drive to Colchester for home boarding but I wouldn't trust anyone else to take care of my dog. Friendly, reliable and caring!
When I met Simon and Leah I knew they were the right people to trust with my doggo. For the last month Diego has had a 1 hour weekly morning walk with them. I pay 1 month up front and it's really reasonably priced. Diego is so excited to see Simon on a Wednesday morning and comes back a happy and well exercised boy! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend We Love Pets to anyone! Thank you Leah and Simon!
We have been so so impressed with the level of service we have received for our two spaniels from We Love Pets Colchester. They are so flexible and our pups absolutely love their visits from Maria! The photos and videos always bring a smile to our face, and we would highly recommend to other pet owners. We now have two very happy pups whilst we’re out at work!
We never thought our bunnies would bond after two very bad introductions at home. Jo works miracles, she's friendly and nice and keeps you up to date. I trust her totally with my pets and you should too. Lucky and Basil came home as friends and it has given us so much joy. If they ever fall out, or if we need to rebond - I'll be straight on the phone. Thank you!
Jo bonded my 2 bunnies within the 2 weeks of having them. She kept me updated on their progress with daily videos and messages which was lovely. I would definitely recommend Jo she is truly amazing
I would just like to say a massive thank you to jo for everything she has done for me.I had no hope to bond my two buck’s together after almost 6 months of attempting it myself. Jo was able to make them best friends within two weeks! They had there ups and downs but Jo made sure to keep me in the loop daily with videos and photos of how they was getting along. You can see the love and care she has for her own rabbits and others. My boys have been home for almost a week now and are still best buds. I would 100% recommend jo’s services to anybody.
Pity I can't find one in Carlisle as its a very good with a lovely lady who loves her rabbits
Absolutely wonderful genuine caring people . The love they have for their bunnies is amazing. I wish other people would feel the same for their fur babies. 🐇🐰 …
Excellent customer service and very friendly, would definitely recommend
I have not been to this place yet I do live next door
A fantastic and brilliant service! Nicola and Dan have done wonders with our dog Ruby, a rescue dog who we was told would never be able to be off lead. However when at Dogs Life she is able to be off lead on her walks with her doggy pals and can be seen to be living her best life in the photos posted. Would highly recommend this amazing doggy day care.
Lovely people and our dog loves going there , they put pictures up of what they have done during the day ,
Dolly loves her day at dogs life day care and she has become so confident since going
Great service and care for our Cockerpo. Very much appreciated
Cleo had a fabulous time today.
River, my ex-racer Greyhound has had many wonderful stays with Nina. It's very reassuring that whilst we are away on our holidays, River is enjoying hers too. Nina keeps us updated on her adventures with photos from their walks in the woods, by the sea or having cuddles on the sofa. As well as offering a home from home environment, Nina has been great helping build the confidence in both River and I with off lead training. Nina always goes above and beyond to care for River, even sleeping with her on the floor during firework night. River and I could not recommend For the Love of Paws enough...Absolutely a 5* rating from us. 🐾
Nina easily formed a strong bond with my nervous rescue dogs. They quickly came to love walks and spending time with her. She is kind and patient with dogs and completely trustworthy. I was able to go on holiday abroad knowing that my dogs were happy, safe and being very well cared for by Nina. If you're looking for kind, reliable dog care, I highly recommend Nina.
Apologies, I don't think we have met? I've certainly never walked your dog so I'm not sure why the 1 star review?
My doggy companion always knows that she is soon going off on another holiday as soon as I get her Barking Mad bag out and start getting packing it - her tail starts wagging, and she knows that lovely, friendly Julie will be coming to take her safely to her holiday host, where she will have a fab time being spoiled by a welcoming, caring family. I can go off on my own breaks safe in the knowledge that my dog will be well cared for and happy, and we owners get regular text updates and pics of our dogs. I could not be happier with the service.
Julie has been an absolute blessing to our family. She runs the Barking Mad Colchester and Tendering branch with such professionalism and care and we cannot recommend her enough. We do a lot of traveling and are so grateful for the peace of mind that Barking Mad provides. You can relax while on holiday knowing that your dog is having a holiday too! Our golden retriever Snow has the time of her life when she visits her Barking Mad host families - we know because of the lovely postcard we get from Snow upon her return! Julie also texts me pictures of Snow’s holiday and lets me know that Snow has settled in her holiday home. When Julie comes to pick Snow up, she can hardly wait to leave and runs to the car. Even just seeing us pack up her Barking Mad bag gets Snow excited! We are so grateful to Julie for the exceptional service she has given us.
There Web sit is OK not the best but they will get there. Xx
