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.

Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs! I highly recommend her!!
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
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.
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.
Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

Joe is extremely friendly and great with dogs. Our shihtzu is always scared of meeting new people and we were so impressed with how well Joe handled him. He’s very responsible, always showed up on time, and kept us up to date via text. Honestly I couldn’t trust anyone more with my dog. We opted for the doggy daycare, and Joe offers pick up and drop of service, which is very convenient. Highly recommend! 5 star service all around.
We’ve been using Joe for the past 3 years for our Whippet. Joe looks after him during the week whilst we are both at work and overnight when we are on holidays. Our dog always comes home in a great mood after socialising with other dogs and getting exercise. Great peace of mind to know that our dog is in great hands with Joe when we can’t be at home. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a dog day care!
We first met Joe when our new puppy was too young to go for walks. Joe came to the house to do a puppy check every day until she was able to go outside. Dottie loves Joe and so do we. Dottie is collected by Joe every weekday and goes off with lots of excitement and a wagging tale for her afternoon walk. We trust Joe completely he is a real dog lover and treats all dogs in his care as if they were his own. When we go on holiday Dottie goes on holiday too, to Joe’s house and loves every minute of it. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without him for the last 5 years. I can’t praise him enough and recommend if you need a dog walker you use Joe at Stone’s Pet Services.
From the moment we met Joe, we knew our dog Bonnie was in great hands. Bonnie was with Joe (both for walks and doggy daycare) since she was a puppy and really looked upon him like family. Joe is extremely professional, friendly, and is clearly very passionate about what he does and cares very much for the dogs he looks after. We really can't recommend Stone's Pet Services enough. A brilliant service all round.
There are not enough words to express how much we would recommend Stone's Pet Services. Joe is one of the nicest people you could meet. He is brilliant with our dog Milo who is a funny little boy at times. Milo loves him and can't wait to get out of the car when we drop him off. Stone's Pet Service is the go to place for your dog walking/day care needs. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our boy Milo.
We have used Stone's Pet Services for years, purely because our dog wouldn't settle in a kennels. He provides a home from home service so that the dogs feel comfortable and at ease whilst you are away. Poppy is always so excited to see him when she is collected and is well looked after! (she is usually a nervy dog). I would definitely recommend this service for people that don't want to leave their dog in a kennels whilst they are away.
We started using Joe when we got our first dog poppy over 3 years ago. As we were first time dog owners we felt hesitant to leave her with anyone but Joe was great. We honestly dont think we could’ve found anyone better. 3 years on and another dog later, we still wouldn’t trust anyone else with our babies. Thank you Joe.
Joe is amazing! He knows how to look after our dog Nehru who can be a bit of a handful at times and even got him to learn a good recall. We never have any concerns leaving our dog with Joe everyday and even give him our house keys so that he can let himself in when we are both at work. Nehru loves him to bits and when we went on holiday he stayed for a few days with Joe (right by his bedside!). Joe also is the one of the most reliable walkers we have come across; even when he is on holiday (for his honeymoon), he tells you well in advance and even suggests alternatives. We can't recommend Joe highly enough.
Joe treats the dogs in his care like one of his own! Our dog Alfie gets all excited when he sees Joe come to pick him up! Great guy and would highly recommend!
Joe obviously loves dogs and my dog Huey adores him. He has been going to Joe for a number of years, and Joe has been responsive to our sometimes last minute need for pet care.. Joe is very reliable.trustworthy and caring
“I have never seen Bear so excited to see anyone as he is when Abz comes to collect him! He absolutely loves his time with both Abz and Ollie. We also get fantastic ‘pupdates’ during his walks, which always brighten our day. It’s clear Bear is well cared for and truly enjoys every moment with them. Couldn’t recommend Abz Pets enough!”
We had Abz looking after our kitten whilst we went away for a couple of weeks and she did t a great job! She sent pictures and written updates to us everyday and we could see how happy he was being looked after by Abz. She’s a natural with animals and ours definitely love her! Very professional and we felt safe having her come into our home without us there! Thank you !!
Abbie has looked after my two Bengal cats on a number of occasions. She’s fantastic, reliable, great with the cats and keeps me fully updated with photos whenever she visits. One of the cats needs regular medication, which Abbie administers really conscientiously. Abbie kindly goes “above and beyond” the pet care as well, helpfully taking in parcels, moving bins etc. My cats are happy because they can stay at home whilst we are away. I’m happy because my furry overlords are happy! I really highly recommend Abz Pets
Abbie has been amazing with our 2 dogs, weekly walks, pop ins and a 10 day sitting this summer. They adore her and Oliver and are so excited for their walks when she arrives. A true animal lover, she is brilliant with our nervous rescue and other more boisterous boy. Highly recommend Abz Pets (but please don’t book her up as we want her 😂).
The service offered by Abbie and her son Oliver is professional and reliable. I know my dogs, fish and house keys are in very safe hands with people who genuinely love all animals. Abbie provides daily video / photo updates keeping us fully informed. I would highly recommend Abz Pets for dog walking and pet sitting.
We have used Abz Pets twice now and we couldn't be more happier with the service we have received. My cats, frosty and Yoda took to Abbey really well. She updated us on all her visits and shared anything of importance with us. She met all out needs and went way and above of what was required. Would definitely recommend Abz Pets.
Abbie is such a kind and caring pet sitter. I felt totally relaxed on my holiday knowing they were in excellent care. She sent me photos every night and kept me up to date with their activities! She is reliable, trustworthy and offers good value for her services. Highly recommended. ❤️
Abbie looked after our pets while we were away recently and we have no hesitation in recommending her as a pet lover and trustworthy person. Every day she kept us up to date with her daily visits with a picture message. Also the house was being visited so this also takes a worry off you when away. All in all an excellent service offered whilst your pets are in their own surroundings.
Abbie took care of my dog whilst we were at a family wedding recently. She came in to walk her twice and then sat with her for 2 hours in the evening. Maisie was much happier than going into kennels. Thank you Abbie
Abbie Looked after my two dogs in our own home whilst we were away for 10 days recently. Amazing service such a lovely lady, we received updates and photos every single day, my dogs loved her and it was also very helpful having someone coming into the house everyday for security reasons. We felt so much better than just leaving them in kennels. I Would definitely recommend and will 100% use again. Thank you so much Abbie for the amazing job you do.
Great place, really friendly and helpful. My dog loves it and gets excited as I’m pulling in the car park. The events are fantastic, it’s such a great place for dogs to play and socialize
The environment and care at Teddy’s is 5 star. Michelle and the team are truly passionate about providing the best for all of the doggies, with fantastic events throughout the year to enjoy with your pup and other families. My boy Teddy and I really do feel part of something special.
Teddys honestly is doggy heaven on earth! My two absolutely love coming! Such a lovely environment and they are truly a part of the family. I love the picture updates on Facebook of their adventures at daycare as well as attending social events. I couldn’t recommend Teddys enough. All the staff are incredible, I am so grateful to have found Teddys!
I couldn’t recommend Teddys more! It’s genuinely the best doggy day care with the most lovely team of people. Bruce has been going there since a puppy and he stills runs in excited every time he goes. They go above and beyond to make the dogs and owners very happy! The birthday parties and other little events they do are just amazing! Thanks for making Bruce a very happy pup 🐶
Teddys doggy day care offers a great day care for your furry friends. The staff are always very pleasant & helpful and Rosie , my cockerpoo has a great time there . I always recommend Teddys to potential customers who are looking for day care for their dogs . Keep up the good work guys 👌
Teddy's was a great adventure for our pup Nova she loved attending each week, the team were great and offer a good set up and a pretty good location in Northampton!
I highly recommend Teddy’s Dog Care. When we went on holiday for a fortnight this summer we sent our precious cavapoo Phoebe there to stay. We were a bit apprehensive, but only because we hadn’t left her for so long before, we trusted Michelle as she treats her boarders with such loving care. Michelle provided us with regular updates along with amazing pics which reassured us that our doggy was definitely having a fabulous time, in fact I don’t think she wanted to come home!
Teddys is fantastic. The owner Michelle is so lovely & friendly. Our Labrador always came back waggy tailed & tired! Prices are fair & the photos Michelle takes are adorable. We loved seeing how happy Daisy was with her doggy pals. Would highly recommend :)
What a find! Teddy’s Dog Care (Michelle) is amazing, my dog absolutely loves visiting and I can relax knowing he is in very safe hands. Michelle is a very honest, kind and caring person who genuinely puts her dog first. I have a very nervous dog (of people and other dogs) and he is slow to adapt to new situations. Michelle understands this and works with him to help him settle and to ensure he is happy at all times. He also has a life threatening condition which means regular medication 3 x daily which Michelle administers with no problem. I also love the fact that she only ever has small dogs to stay with her meaning that for my dog (and for my peace of mind) play time is fun rather than scary! The daily updates I receive are also very reassuring for me as I can see he is fit and healthy – and having far more fun than he does at home watching me work! I won’t leave him anywhere else and can’t speak highly enough of Teddy’s Dog Care. Michelle thank you so much!
Michelle and Tina at Teddy's are amazing! I've had my dogs there for walks, boarding and day care, and every time my dogs are SO excited to see Michelle and Tina, literally don't want to come home sometimes! I am a very nervous doggy momma and I completely trust them in these guys' care. My favourite thing is they see each dog as a person/character and not just a dog, and that counts for a lot to me - love these guys and will continue to use them for many many years to come x
Sammy has just had his first holiday at Maddie's and I can't thank Shelley and her crew enough for making him feel at home from home. He has previously stayed in kennels but he is 8 now and we felt he deserved some comfort while we went on holiday. The pre-stay visits were great for making sure Shelley and the other dogs got to know Sammy, and that he would be comfortable there. And by the time we dropped him off for his holiday, he was chomping at the bit to see his friends again. I didn't once worry that Sammy wasn't ok whilst we were away, as we received daily "pupdates" showing us how he was getting on and what he was up to. We could see from the photos and videos that he was happy and felt safe. The care and attention he received was as good if not better than at home. Before his stay Sammy hadn't really socialised with other dogs and we weren't sure how he would be, but he soon got stuck in at playtime and was leading the walks. I would highly recommend Maddie's and will definitely be booking Sammy in next time we go away.
Before I contacted Maddies home from home I did a lot of research as I had been rushed into hospital in January and had to leave my poor dog at boarding without even seeing it, I was worried the whole time in hospital about my dear little girl and couldn’t wait to collect her and I was determined to find a home from home boarding. I researched several but Maddies came out on top so I contacted Shelley and we meet up for a sniff test with my little girl and the rest of her dogs. Wow how thorough and professional her whole business is. I was very impressed and we arranged a sleepover, I was very anxious to be leaving my girl again but Shelley sent me regular pup dates which put my mind at ease. I was once again taken into hospital so I contacted Shelley to see if she could look after my little girl at short notice and she was there for me again. My stay in hospital was so much better knowing she was being cared for and regular pup dates made my stay in hospital bearable. My little girl loved her stay at Maddies and always had lots to occupy her and lots of walks. I can’t recommend and thank Shelley enough for looking after my little girl it really is home from home.
This was Elsy’s first 2 week stay at Maddie’s and she was so looked after ! Lots of daily updates with videos and photographs. The walks all looked amazing. Shelley was very professional, caring and so loving to Elsy. Really really pleased I found such a brilliant home boarding stay for Elsy to go. Have booked many more stays for her in the coming months. Thank you for all your help and amazing attention to detail.
Teddy is cared for 100%+ whilst I go away on holiday. It's a real home from home boarding. It's peace of mind knowing he is in safe hands. Shelley makes the separation easier for me and Teddy settles. Lots of attention given to the dogs in her care. Walkies, hugs, playtime and groomed. I enjoy the photos and videos sent daily. I collected Teddy after 12 days. He's fit, healthy and no kennel cough. So pleased I was recommended Maddies home boarding & day care. I have never been disappointed. Thank you Maddie & Shelley.
Ninja has been expertly looked after by Shelley for the past three years with a mix of boarding and day care. I now have two dogs that both go regularly and they don't even look back to me when they see Shelley. It really is a home from home with personalised and loving care. Highly recommend!
Shelley and Maddie’s house is doggie heaven. Robbie felt right at home and he was clearly happy to be there. As a nervous Doggy-Mum, Shelley really put me at ease and I felt comfortable leaving him with her. Highly recommended.
Working full time we were a bit stuck when my Mum had an accident and we had to look after her dog, Chester, for a few month's. We couldn't have chosen better with Maddie's. It is certainly a home from home, but even more than that - the dogs get great enrichment, exercise and socialisation everyday. I would not hesitate to recommend Maddie's to anyone looking for doggy care or boarding for their beloved furmily member.
My dog Dylan loves being at Maddie's. He gets 5 star treatment and I love getting regular pup-dates from Shelley. I highly recommend Shelley and wouldn't board Dylan anywhere else!
Our dog loves staying at Maddie's! The service is professional, reliable and responsive and we enjoy receiving updates about our pet when we are away. Highly recommended.
Taking each dogs needs a quirks into consideration, my mind is at ease knowing that Lottie is being well cared for and loved by a true professional.
Just got home from a child’s 7th birthday party which Andrea was booked for the animal encounter experience. What can I say other than she was amazing! Very friendly, spoke to the children well and engaged with them. Very knowledgeable on the animals she had with her and allowing the children and adults to hold/stroke or just admire from a safe distance. A really enjoyable hour and my son loved it. I’d highly recommend this to others!
Andrea is extremely efficient and flexible assisting us twice now and this last time at extremely short notice. She attends to the needs of our multiple animals with a confident ease which includes love and attention. Andrea also takes the time to communicate with us at our request giving us peace of mind all is well whilst we are away. Thank you very much Andrea, a first class service.
We booked Andrea for a Children’s Party, she was amazing. With Iggy, Hermione, Elvis, Snowy, Pascal, Evie and Angus and the Madagascan dudes, 20+ 5 year olds were kept rapt for over an hour of fun, interaction and animal facts. All could be handled except for Pascal who nonetheless was an exceptional character and a favourite of all the kids. Andrea and her team do a great job of keeping everyone engaged and the animals and children safe throughout. Thoroughly recommended, worth every penny and very much a “core memory” for my son.
All was going well, and our golden retriever puppy has been left with Andrea once a week since we had him. However he came home very distressed this week and Andrea explained he's been chewing her coffee table. The 9 month old puppy hasn't ever chewed anything other than his toys. We are mortified and looking at the damage can only assume he was left alone for a period of time to do so much damage. Left alone at a time when we were paying for a service to look after him. We were charged for the damage and Golden had the option of being "expelled" from his doggy day care or being crated when left alone. Our Golden won't be going back.
Andrea brought a selection of animals to my daughters 8th birthday party and was a hit with both the kids and the adults!! Andrea is very knowledgable and has so many facts, the children were all completely engaged and had a great time handling them! Thank you so much, you were a perfect addition to our daughters party!
Andrea looked after my staff/ pit cross whilst I holidayed in Jamaica, if I'm honest I was hesitant to leave Bert with anyone he didn't already know, but after speaking to Andrea and seeing her passion and expertise, whilst she won Bert over on their very first meeting, I felt 100% at ease leaving my boy with her, to this day if we see Andrea on our walks or pass her house Bert still pulls to meet her. 5/5 I 100% recommend.
Andrea hosted a brilliant party for our daughter and her friends for her 9th birthday. Andrea kept both children and adults really interested throughout with her fantastic animals and the knowledge she shared about them. She was really patient with the children whilst they handled some of her animals and it was just what our daughter wanted, thank you!
Andrea's knowledge of the animals she owns is second to none - my son thinks she is amazing, and wants to be just like her when he grows up!! He is looking forward to booking her for his birthday party, so he can see all the animals again, including the chinchilla, the gecko and the snakes - he is captivated when she talks about the animals, and would love to own as many as she does!!
Andrea has our two dogs every time we go away & they love going to her. One of our dogs is very sensitive & she is so great with him, really makes him feel secure, gives him loads of attention & fun so he forgets about us while we’re away! We wouldn’t send them anywhere else now.
Andrea was so helpful and professional when looking after my cat, Bonnie. It was so lovely and helpful to have daily updates every day whilst I was away. I will always use Andrea in the future and would highly recommend her as I feel Bonnie was well looked after and safe.
Couldn't recommend becky enough she's had my pups for over 2 years now & they love it there. Home from home!! By far the best day care I've ever had.
The doggo loves going. So no complaints from me
Utterly appalled. I arrived to drop off 4 guinea pigs and asked to see where the guineas would be staying - surely what any owner would expect. Unbelievably, this was refused. The owner (Edward) was rude and unhelpful. I literally could not believe what I was hearing. As a result of this nonsense I have had to cancel a trip to see my 90 year old mother in Scotland. I wonder what they are trying to hide.
Julia has looked after our cats several times now. The last time was an emergency booking with only a few hours notice. I'd definitely recommend :-)
Our guinea pigs always go to Julia's when we go on holiday. Superb service.
I’m leaving a big 5 star for Julia & Edward at skittering pig, they are kind and caring and have been doing home visits for my cats for a long time, when my little girl Twinkle went to heaven (aged nearly 24) I was broken hearted, Julia put a beautiful post on face book, sent us flowers a card and some seeds to plant in remembrance, I was very touched it was a beautiful gesture. She continues to look after my younger cat Rosie who loves to greet her and Edward and when I’m away and I’m at ease with the knowledge that my cat is fed, litter tray cleaned and fussed a lot ❤️ Would 100% recommend. Thank you skittering pig. Amanda
Skittering Pig offers a fantastic service for both our guinea pigs and cats while we go on holiday. The owner Julia is friendly and very accommodating, because of this we have used Skittering Pig time and time again and have recommended to all our local friends who have small furries. Julia is a genuine pet lover and goes out of her way to provide the best service possibly for her clients and pets. Our animals love Julia looking after them and are always thoroughly pampered.
Julia has looked after our rabbit a number of times now - she makes it so easy to go on holiday! H is well looked after, groomed, entertained and very well fed - and Julia is a delight to know as she will go out of her way to accommodate you and your pet. I will definitely use Skittering Pig again and highly recommend Julia's services.
I have been using this excellent company to look after my guinea pigs for the past three years. Julia is thoroughly professional and really cares for our pets they get totally pampered and beautifully cared for when we are away and I have no hesitation in recommending her. Thank you Julia and team for the great service you provide.
"Not a client of ours" yes we were, untill we caught you out by turning up a day early to collect the animals as you had the dates wrong, and we realised you clean them out on day of collection to make it look better, rather than actually doing it through the duration of the stay. And a whole tub of hamster food used in 10 days, and then you fed him guinea pig food.... Denying poor reviews is really not a good look Julia.
Julia is very caring person. Communication between clients are excellent. My hamsters are well taken care of when we go away on holiday and I would definitely recommend this lady for looking after hamsters and any other small animals. Thank you Julia. Sarah x
Absolutely fantastic company!! There are very few people I would trust to care for my house rabbits because other companies use small cages or will only keep them outside. Skittering pig offered so much space and time hopping around the downstairs room for them while they stayed! They let me specify exactly what should and shouldn’t be fed and what bedding I wanted (I’m quite particular about their care!). They provided loads of toys for them to play with and they even got presents when they stayed over at Christmas!! I can’t recommend this company highly enough. It’s clear that the love what they do and the animals they care for are the highest priority! Thank you for always taking such good care of my bunnies.
So great that they slowly introduced my puppy to Darcy on walks and to her home. My pup loves it so much he pulls towards their gate when we walk by. For a dog with some separation anxiety, he can't wait to leave me when he heads for Darcy's. Lots of stimulation and play but rest too, the ideal mix. would highly recommend for your special 4 legs.
Brilliant play time with toys and games
Amazing day care!! Staff are brilliant with my very large and very bouncy dog. As my dog is so big it's hard to socialise him when out and about as many dogs (and their owners) are wary of him. Scoobys is a safe place for him to play and he LOVES IT!!! I've never seem him more excited than when we arrive and never more exhausted than when I pick him up. Thank you sooo much Scoobys and all the staff you truly enrich Murphy's life.
What a great place with great people! Always helpful and positive. My girl can be a social misfit but no worries here as they work so well with her! Swimming is so good for her.. thank you !
Took our dog ralphy there today for his 1st swim in a pool. I honestly cant recommend this place enough the staff the facilities where all outstanding super friendly will 100% be returning thank you guys.
Scoobys is a lovely place as the staff are very friendly and helpful. To begin a 2 sessions are needed which is helpful to know if your dogs can manage. Once that's completed then they can come during the week with opening times that suit working doggy parents. They also have small amount of parking out front though as industrial park can be busy so be on alert when moving out of the parking bays.
I've had two dogs go to Scoobies over the last ten years and I can't rate them enough, they offer a great range of services, the staff are incredible and genuinely love all the dogs and most importantly...the dogs love it there!! Can't recommend enough!
Fab doggy day care. Staff are brilliant with the dogs and their facilities are great, sofas and toys for them, especially the hydro swim pool. My dog loves it there.
Very experienced staff that puts your mind at rest. Everyone is kind and you feel secure to leave your pet with them
Went to puppy classes on a Sunday, excellent.
My 4 month old SpringerPoo Spud was very nervous of other dogs. After a while he settled in and by the end of the session was playing happily with his 'class mates'😆 …
Take my niece's puppy here she has only been 4 times for 2hrs so she can gradually get use to going seem to be settling in gradually. Staff are very good.
Having a rescue dog and pup, I was skeptical about being about to find someone who would look after my babies as I do. From the initial meet Gary understand my dogs and listened to them. Garry has really put me at ease with regular updates and adorable photos, when I am not home. You can tell from the photos my dogs adore Garry. Fantastic communication and easy booking.
Gary has looked after my elderly dog and 3 cats twice this year and I've been more than happy with his services. The animals seem happy too! I receive regular updates and fabulous photos so can relax knowing they're all being taken care of.
Been so appreciative of Gary for .walking my Father's dog. We've found him to be 100% reliable, punctual and Heidi has certainly enjoyed her walks with him. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker. He's also very reasonably priced offering 30 minutes or 1hour walks. Absolutely deserves the 5*
Gary was amazing with our rescue dog Ava. She can be a bit of a challenge and Gary was brilliant, it was such a relief to have her with someone we knew Ava would be safe with. Gary sent us updates and photos everyday about how she was doing. Thank-you so much!
Gary has been great with Zach and understanding of his needs and limitations being an older dog. Zach is always happy to see him and comes back tired after having fun on his walk, also get amazing photos.
Gary came to visit me & my dog at home when I enquired about home boarding. He immediately had a good connection with my dog and informed me of the jobs he does & showed me his insurance paperwork. After a good discussion I booked him to look after my dog for two nights. I was pretty anxious as I’d never left her before, let alone with someone I didn’t know. I shouldn’t have been as Gary sent regular, amazing photos of my dog both at home & whilst out for a walk and updated me to what she was doing. Once I returned home we had a full debrief of how she’d been, where she slept, what she’d eaten etc. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Gary again.
Gary has always been brilliant with out animals - walking our previous dog Diesel (who wasn't a fan of other dogs) and now sitting for our bulldog Buster and two cats; he takes perfect care of them all and fantastic pictures to boot! If you need pet sitting, pet walking or a brilliant pet photoshoot, Gary can do it all! Recommended without hesitation.
Gary looked after our fluffy girl (in heat) over the Christmas period which allowed us to go away for a break. It was short notice arranging too as our regular sitter cancelled so we are super grateful! We were so thankful to receive regular (almost daily) updates and amazing photos! Our doggy also loved Gary pretty immediately so it was wonderful to know they got on well. Thank you so much Gary!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gary dogsitted for us while we were on holiday. He was so so helpful and booked us in with a short notice request. He sent regular updates about our dog and looked after the house. Would 100% recommend to anyone and will definitely be using his services again!
Gary has been walking Monty since he was a pup. He knows how to deal with Monty’s ball obsessed nature and to make sure he gets plenty of other stimulants too, so he’s super content for the rest of the day. Would highly recommend
