Dog Sitters in Colaton Raleigh

We have had a wonderful experience with All Animals and would recommend their services to anyone. Chris, Audrey and the team are friendly, kind and reliable, and it's clear how much they love the animals they care for. We know that pet care services that give you peace of mind when you're away, knowing that your animals are being given more than just a quick walk or a feed can be hard to find, but All Animals has provided that for us every time.

My dog Zara loves going to All Animals. She comes home so tired after all the playing with her doggy friends. Chris and Zoe are very caring and trust them completely

Lovely people, who welcome animals into their family. Zoe grooms my dog and is brilliant, my dog actually looks forward to arriving and reluctant to leave!

A home from home where pays of all kinds are sympathetically cared for in spacious and friendly surroundings

We would definitely recommend all animals. Our puppy had a lovely day in doggie daycare. She was exhausted by the end of the day as she had done so much playing..Zoe and Chris are clearly animal lovers and have a perfect location for their business with loads of outdoor space for animals. Thanks V i

Very reliable and friendly dog walker and boarder. Lee provides an excellent pick up and drop off service. Our border terrier is always excited to see Lee and clearly enjoys his days out and overnight stays.

Jenny and George, aka Running Ducks, are just brilliant! I have a very complicated house; lots of animals, plants, routines, to ensure smooth running of the place. They both stepped in and took over all the complexities, as though they had been here for ever. The animals were so loved, were safe. The house and (some more difficult than others) its occupants were managed with skill and I was able To relax on my trip to the other side of the world!! Believe me, this is not an easy job. The stress of leaving everything here Made going away incredibly difficult!! They are just wonderful people and my animals adored them. I can’t recommend or thank them enough for giving me a bit of a breather and for allowing me to feel everything was safe and secure and loved. I wish they could clone themselves! Thank you both 🙏🙏🙏

Jenny and George have sat for us twice now and we've been so happy with their care of our two indoor cats. I get very nervous about leaving them to go away, particularly because they need quite a bit of attention as they are indoor cats and I want them to be kept safe from the outside busy road. But I definitely do not need to worry because Jenny and George looked after them so well and I could tell how content they were from the daily photos and updates, and on our return home. I really felt like I could relax when I was away knowing they were in safe hands. Our male cat in particular is really missing them! Aside from the excellent care of our cats, our home was left clean and tidy too. We will definitely continue to use Running Duck Pet Services and so so pleased we have found sitters that we can trust and who care so much for our cats.

Our dog Maya loved being with George and although we hadn't met him before this time, we felt confident in leaving our beloved dog in his care. She seemed really happy and relaxed when we returned and we got lots of update photos whilst we were gone. We would certainly use Running Duck again. Thank you Jenny & George

Jenny and George were the perfect cat sitters, while we were away for 2 weeks. Our 3 cats were so well looked after. We received daily updates with pics and videos. Our house was spotless on our return and we even had a home made cheese cake waiting for us. Thank you to a lovely couple that gave us complete peace of mind whilst we were away. Highly recommended.

Running Duck Pet Services are our go to team whenever we need great pet sitters. Our most recent experience in particular will stay with us for a lifetime thanks to the amazing support we had from Glenn and Mandy. We travelled abroad for two and a half weeks for our wedding but just before we left we found out that our pup Gus had a cancerous lump on his paw that required quite intense surgery. Glenn and Mandy took the best care of Gus making sure he was well rested and took him to regular vet appointments. We got daily updates and felt totally relaxed that he was receiving the best care. We will be forever grateful to this amazing team of people and we know the bond Gussy has with Glenn and Mandy means we won't need to worry about trips away ever again

This is the easiest review we’ve ever written! Simply, fabulous… can’t thank ‘auntie’ Jenny & ‘uncle’ George enough for being such incredible surrogate parents to our boy Benny whilst we enjoyed a much needed short break. It was great to be away without worrying, knowing that he was in very safe, capable hands with such loving people. It was evident from the videos and photos you shared he was having a ball, and thoroughly enjoying his time with you, practicing his training and having a nice muddy run in the woods! We can’t imagine better people to look after him. Thank you from us and a huge thank you from Benny! X

Once again. Fantastic service. Jenny and George such lovely people and looked after Bertie so well and kept in touch. Feel really happy leaving Bertie and house in their great hands. Thanks so much

Running Duck are, bar none, the best dog- and house-sitting people we have ever dealt with. Jenny and George were the kindest, most trustworthy, most understanding, most responsible, and overall best people we have ever used in regard to caring for our dogs (and house). There is only one downside: now that we've used them, there is no way we can even imagine leaving our dogs in the care of anyone OTHER than Running Duck. (No joke - Google Reviews has told me that the original review I submitted for Running Duck is 750 words over the allowed limit; I obviously couldn't stop singing their praises once I started, so now I'll try to cut it down to only the most important and pertinent points.) My wife and I were away for a full month due to personal circumstances that were very stressful. Concern about our dogs or house would've made the entire time that much worse, but the one and only thing we never worried about was the safety and happiness of our dogs and house. With a significant time difference, we loved waking up to photos (and videos!) of our dogs having the times of their lives with Jenny and George. A memorable favourite of ours was a video showing the dogs completely engrossed as George played guitar for them. I wrote a full explanation for each of the following bullet points, but I have to remove them to get this review to work, but these are some of the most important traits that Running Duck have and that they demonstrated while caring for our dogs: 1 - Caring & Attentiveness re: Health Issues. 2 - Understanding & Acceptance (& Attention to Detail) re: Advice and Instructions. 3 - Mindfulness & Forethought re: Food and Medicine. 4 - Flexibility & Helpfulness re: Logistics Issues. 5 - They are True, True Dog People. The only explanation I've kept from the preceding list is for #5: Jenny and George did not simply feed and walk the dogs, they hung out with them, reading, watching tv, chilling. I honestly don't think I can do enough justice to the sort of attention and kindness and care they showed the dogs - as well as to us, knowing that we were having a less-than-stellar time away, they would still send us photos or text updates to let us know how the dogs were, even when we hadn't responded or asked because we were so overwhelmed. Their updates were, in all sincerity, reflected the one part of our month away that we felt 100% at ease with. After the initial tenseness of setting off and leaving dogs with other people left after 1-2 days, neither my wife nor I was concerned for an iota. My wife and I honestly thought our dogs seemed depressed for a few days after Jenny and George left. And I'd be lying if I said we didn't stay in contact because they actually cared enough afterward to make sure everything was smooth in our transition home - plus, they missed the dogs themselves! Even though we haven't seen them since they cared for our dogs and house that month, we do still occasionally send dog photos back and forth, which is just wonderful. (On side note, and an important one at that - once we settled back in at home, we realised that they had left our house even cleaner than we had originally left it for them!) To summarise once more: Running Duck is the best. There's probably a word in clinical psychology for the strength of attachment I have to my dogs but even with my (over-)attachment, I would again trust Jenny & George with them in a heartbeat. A few months after they had taken care of our dogs / house, we asked if they were available again for some upcoming dates. Unfortunately, they were not (and of course, any high demand for their services makes absolute sense to us). The funny part - and this is true - is that my wife and I decided that, rather than plan our travel and then see if they can fit with our dates, that going forward, we will ask Jenny & George what dates/months work best for them and then we will plan our travel around their availabilities. If that doesn't tell you of the esteem and trust which we hold for Running Duck, I don't know what does.

Jenny and George provided us with an excellent service at very short notice. From the first visit to check us out and meet the cat (a young, very lively and slightly dim ginger boy) we could tell that house, garden and pet would be in very good hands. Jenny kept in touch on a daily basis and on my return the cat had decided he preferred his new companion to us. We'll certainly use Running Duck again.

Following our inquiry Jenny and George visited us at home, established our requirements and met our very nervous and demanding rescue cat. We were left in no doubt what a kind and caring couple they are, who provided us with total confidence in leaving our home and our cat in their care. Jenny and George house and pet sat for us for two weeks at the end of August/early September. During this time we were kept informed and updated on a daily basis by emails photographs and text messages allowing us to truly relax and enjoy our holiday safe in the knowledge that all was well at home. We returned to a calmer friendlier cat, who had clearly benefited from the care and dedication provided by both Jenny and George, the house was immaculate and George had even taken the trouble to tidy the gardens and cut our lawns We cannot recommend Jenny and George highly enough and will certainly be using them again on each and every occasion that we travel.

The best dog sitters and dog walkers ever! Always making sure all dogs there are vaccinated so your pet will stay healthy too. Always thinking about how to keep the dogs busy with plays, and genuinely enjoying cuddles with them. I’d trust these guys with my life. They are so caring and professional. My dog always has so much fun there! Thanks so much Just Purrfect!

Duke always enjoys his walks , day care and boarding with Just Purrfect. He always comes home happy and tired! He loves Stevie , Chris and the rest of their team he gets excited when they collect him. Range of services on offer and affordable he doesn't go anywhere else. I highly recommend!

Such a caring and helpful business. Our dog is a rescue and can be a little nervous but he loves going to Just Purrfect. We started using them when we moved to the area and needed dog boarding while we moved. He now goes there for daycare and grooming. He is always very relaxed when we collect him and goes straight back into his usual routine. Every single member of staff that we have meet there have been incredibly friendly and reassuring. I’m so glad we found them!

The team at Just Purr-fect have been amazing with our 2½ year old rescue girl and take care to match dogs who will play well with each other and complement each others energy levels. She always comes back happy and clearly having had a great time. The team are also great at responding to any questions promptly.

The team are fantastic and you can tell they really care about the dogs. Our little boy has a brilliant time at daycare, the groups for dogs to mix are thought out, and it's a great way to get dogs comfortable and socialised. Would highly recommend

Just Purr-fect are on top when it comes to animal day care and boarding, they regularly look after our Dog and he always has a fantastic time! The staff are fun and friendly and always push to be the best they can be and nothing is ever too much to ask! I 100% say use these guys, Professional and approachable I will be using them for the foreseeable future!

An amazing service provided. Our cat was fed and played with twice a day, twice daily emails and photos. Can't praise them highly enough.

I would just like to say the the service received for Dexter, who is currently staying with me for a week, has been brilliant. Becky is very reliable, caring , respectful and professional of Dexter's wants and needs whilst she has been walking him. Thank you for your service, his owner is very relieved to know Dexter is in safe hands. Kind regards, Steph

Could not recommend this place enough, we had to come to exmouth for a funeral and at last minute they helped us out so much, can’t thank Emma and the team enough.

I cannot fault the care given to 'Freddie' my Border Terrier since spending time with 'Just Purr-fect he always had such a happy time. I highly recommend such an amazing caring team who go above and beyond.

So happy with our experience of using Sunny Pet Sitting! Claire looked after our indoor cats & rabbit while we were away & we received daily messages & pictures to let us know they were doing well. Normally our cats are a little stressed when we go away & it takes a while for them to settle back in to a routine once we return, but when Claire looked after them this didn't happen at all! They were very happy & seemed super chilled when we arrived home. We will definitely continue to use Sunny Pet Sitting when we go away & would recommend.

Claire looked after our tortoise, Guinea pigs, hamster and fish while we were on holiday. We couldn’t have been happier with the service she provided, including feeding them daily and cleaning out mid-week. We especially enjoyed the daily updates and photos, it gave us excellent peace of mind. Thanks again!

Claire has been walking our girl for 8 months and has always been extremely reliable. She manages our dog really well, and as a 3 year old husky who cannot come off her lead due to poor recall this is not always easy. Claire is so passionate about what she does and our dog absolutely loves her walks. We get fantastic updates at work and we love seeing her having fun. Claire is extremely professional and provides an exemplary service. We absolutely cannot recommend Claire enough!

Claire was fab looking after by bunnies for the week I was away on holiday. She kept them very clean and updated me regularly. I wouldn’t hesitate to use claire again. 🐰❤️ …

Highly recommend! Lizzie was great at communication and sending me photos of my four cats while I was away. She even administered medicine to one of my cats with no issues! Very reliable and trustworthy!

Thank you Lizzie. I was worried about leaving my Ragdolls because they need medication three times a day in their food…and they’re picky eaters 🤦🏻‍♀️ Lizzie was amazing! She was lovely with the boys, fed them easily, updated me with photos and texts and left the house clean and tidy to come home to. I’ll definitely use her again and again 😻😻

Claire and Lizzie from Sunny Pet Sitting were very professional from the outset but equally what comes across is they are both warm caring individual's. So we were very happy to use their services to pet sit our 5 month old JRT puppy for 4+ hours whilst we attended a family funeral. It made what was already a stressful time all that much easier knowing that our pup was in good hands whilst we paid our respects. Our puppy was well cared for and looked very contented in their company. (Although initially excited on first meeting them as puppy's tend to be!). Happy to recommend Sunny Pet Sitting services.

Claire has looked after our cats a fee times now whilst we have been away. She is great and we will continue to use Sunny Pet Sitting in the future.

Claire has been walking and looking after my King Charles for two months now and we both think she’s great! Looking forward to many more months of a super happy pup

Fantastic service and wonderful care. Claire was friendly and attentive to all my dogs needs, will definitely be using again next time I go away!

I have to say - the first time we used Exeter Pet Sitters was amazing, couldn't have been happier. Unfortunately on coming to use them a second time we had the opposite experience. I called and left messages multiple times on both numbers, none were ever returned. Email communication was better but still not reliable. Each time I was told something would happen it didn't, asking how to flag the medical needs of my cat was met with no response, looking for reassurance that those needs would be met also got no response. The whole experience was needlessly stressful - had anyone said it wouldn't be possible to meet my needs from the start I would have had no problem. As it was I chased and chased for weeks and got nowhere. In the end I gave up trying to arrange for Exeter Pet Sitters to look after my animals and went with a different company - which is just as well because even the day before they were supposed to start caring for my pets, Jo and the team still hadn't responded to me. A couple of years ago I would have recommended these guys but now? I cannot in good faith say that they're the best option.

Overall a fantastic experience so far! We had a tricky situation arrise with our puppy needing to receive puppy visits throughout the day at short notice due to my partner and I needing to be back to work sooner than we had thought. Jo was quick to solve the problem and gave us a solution that fitted perfectly with our schedule. Highly recommended *****

Have used this service for several years and rate them highly because they have always been good at accommodating our needs, caring well for our pet keeping things clean. They also go the extra mile to look after plants/bins etc while you are away.

Lovely dedicated caring staff. My dogs absolutely love their walks and are always happy to go.

Jo and her team are super friendly and professional. Would highly recommend!

They help u at a drop of a hat xxxx

Roxy loves her day at Vicky’s, she’s runs in to see her bestie, Max and they play all day, she’s pooped when I collect her, she’s had a great day.

Takes great care of our beloved pooch
