We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
This was our first time using a pet or house sitter and the bar set by Leslie is very high! She is warm, friendly, communicative, responsible and very clean. Upon arriving, she immediately bonded with our rat terrier, Oreo, by bringing him a new frisbee (his favorite toy/activity) and throwing it for him in our backyard. Leslie has a sweet and mellow dog, Benny, who is now Oreo's new buddy! She kept my husband and I updated via texts/pictures of their daily activities, our house, and was proactive in asking questions before she left. She even dropped our dog off at the kennel for one night at the end of our trip since our flight was too late for us to get home for him! Our home was clean and had fresh flowers from our garden that she put in vases for us! Such a simple and nice touch! We have asked Leslie to come back to sit for us again for 2 weeks in August. I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pet(s) and home too!
Kelly was a wonderful pet sitter and house sitter! Our dog Cooper adored her. She sent us pictures several times a day and he was always snuggling with her. She kept in touch with us regularly. We have never left our baby before and we were anxious about it but we ended up feeling totally comfortable with Cooper in Kelly’s care. She also kept our potted plants alive during a heat wave and took great care of the house. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Meg was a dream pet sitter for my three year old labradoodle. She gave him nice long walks and was very organized, communicative and tidy. I look forward to another opportunity to have Meg in my home!
Once again, having AnnaMarie take care of our pups was absolutely the right choice!! Her frequent updates, care of our house and fur babies was stellar! Although the dogs were thrilled to see us when we returned, as we chatted with Annemarie, we could see them continuing to go to her for affection and cuddles. It was so sweet to watch our one-year-old lick her ear and Annamarie just giggled and happily tolerated it. What a great sport😎. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would also suggest if you happen to see a less than perfect review for her ( there is only 1)I know the true story... it's unfortunate that some people are so unappreciative of someone who will go out of their way to care for their home and Pets (at no charge🙃🙃)-- it just boggles my mind and am confident they are not being honest! Suffice it to say she is a gem and perfect sitter in every way- if you can get a chance to book with her- do not hesitate! We truly think of her as part of our family now and all 5 of our pups would agree!
Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
Tom provided a last minute sit when my 2 week long trip got extended to the 3rd. The previous zeewoi sitter was no longer available for the 3rd week, and Tom came in as a savior. As requested, he started his sit a day prior to the posted dates (thank you for being flexible). He met the prior zeewoi in person, since I was not in town, and got to know the house and cats quickly. He sent pictures of the cats each day and added a note about their well being. He was independent and was able to figure out how to use the litter genie on his own. I returned to a clean home and healthy happy cats. Would love to have Tom return and recommend him to anyone leaving their pets in his care.
I enjoyed meeting Samara. Sosha arrived after I left so we only communicated in writing. Samara is a sweet, considerate pet sitter. She brought her cat, who posed no difficulties to my pets. Samara was in good communication with me during her stay. She used my car without incident. My home was left much cleaner than upon her arrival. Samara proved to be an honest and responsible pet sitter and I would open my home to her at any time in the future.
Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home :) We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there! They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.
Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!

Just finished 5 weeks puppy training course for our 20 week old C.Spaniel. Really great tips on basics and training on heel work and recall. Ryan very mindful of nervous puppies so was an excellent class to take our timid pup. He's now confident and doing really good me. Highly recommend to any new pup owner. 🐶👍 …
I booked my 1 year old Spaniel in for one to one street obedience training due to him constantly pulling on the lead and being all over the place, within 45 minutes of the training Ryan managed to get my dog walking 100x better. Since the training my dog hardly ever pulls on the lead and he walks by my side pretty much at all times. It feels like Ryan has given us a completely different dog. Ryan is calm, patient and knows what he’s talking about, all the advice he gave me regarding walking my dog and my dogs diet has been very beneficial. I can’t recommend him enough.
Took part in Ry's puppy class course. Was a great informative course that was reasonably priced. The knowledge that Ryan shared with us was great and we would recommend anyone with a new puppy taking part in these course here.
Just completed the five week puppy training course with our 12 month old miniature bull terrier. Ry and Alanna have both been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and even though our dog is still fairly unruly, we can see progress has been made and we have more confidence in what we're doing with her. As we'd already had sessions with two other trainers on the island, we were a bit wary, but have been very impressed with Ry's professionalism and structured training. Thanks a lot!
We have just finished our second session with Ryan, at our home. Ryan's natural affinity with dogs shines through as he shares his huge knowledge, experience and insight into what makes both dogs and humans tick! We have shared our home with dogs for 4O years but our sessions with Ryan have been absolutely invaluable in helping us to develop a trusting and companionable relationship with our new, busy puppy. Looking forward to Puppy Chaos tonight and ongoing training with Ryan and the Team. Thank you. Maggie and Nigel
An awesome business. We’ve been using Ry’s services for the past 6 months for our dog Leia, especially the day care. We use it to get a bit of freedom and as a treat for our dog as she loves it there. We also love the flexibility of the services and how friendly everyone is. Highly recommend!
Being a "lockdown" puppy training and socialising was difficult so behaviour problems were inevitable. Finding Ry's has been a wonder - with their help/advice and facilities we are beginning to see changes in Leia's social behaviour and we look forward to many more happy sessions with Ry and his team of wonderful helpers. Thank you
Everytime I drop my dog off at Ry's in the morning for daycare, she can't wait to go in! She has such a lovely time here, and comes back so happy and puffed-out from all the playing and fun she's clearly had! I also can't fault the staff, so friendly and helpful all the time. It's a huge comfort knowing I can drop her here on my days on the island!
I have used Ryan numerous times for both 1 to 1 training and doggy day care with my German Shepherd Dog Baz. He is patient, caring and great with the dogs in his care. He is extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviour and training and will also give the owners the training they need to get the best from their dogs. He is my go to dog trainer / day care provider.
Highly recommend Ry's dog training he has brought our Cyprus rescue dog on leaps and bounds, from a very frightend little boy into a very confident boy whilst out walking and to heel no longer worried about outside noises, he is now a better mannered young man in the home. Dude always looks out for him on his weekly visits and can't wait to get going. Thank you Ryan here's to the next 9 months. X
Absolutely brilliant service, couldn’t be more impressed. Benji came back to us happy, having clearly had a fantastic holiday. Suzi kept me well informed of his stay with videos and photos. We would highly recommend.
If there were more than 5 stars to add, Suzi would get them all. Our 2yr old Cavapoo has been going to Suzi since he was 4 months old both for daycare as well as boarding. He absolutely loves her and has grown into a well balanced happy dog with her high level of knowledge with individual dog behaviour or fears. Teddy has developed confidence as well as respect for other dogs during his stays. Suzi ensures her dogs are safe, active and supervised. Teddy benefits not only from supervised care but games, training and walks too. I cannot praise her enough. When we go away and unable to take Teddy, we are completely reassured and at ease knowing Teddy is enjoying his holiday too.
I cannot speak highly enough of Just-Like-Home! My 7 month-old Cavapoo stayed for two weeks this summer and it is safe to say that he enjoyed his holiday just as much as I did mine! He spent two weeks making friends of all sizes, digging in the digging pit, swimming in the pool, going on long nature walks and taking lots of naps in between! As it was our first time apart, I especially appreciated all of the sweet photos and videos I was sent of him doing all of the above. Just-Like-Home is truly a 5-star resort for dogs! We have our next holiday dates booked in already--thank you so much, Suzi!
Sidney has been to stay with Suzi a few times now, he jumps out of car and runs to gate as he can’t wait to go there. Suzi is very friendly, approachable, caring and accommodating and I highly recommend her. Sidney always is well looked after and I’m updated on his time there
An amazing place that really looks after your fur baby! My dog has loved his walks, communication is always excellent and the service is second to none
I can highly recommend Suzi and Just-Like-Home dog boarding. Our 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, stayed for the first time last week and if they could talk, I am sure they would tell me they had a brilliant time. We met with Suzi for first introductions ahead of our stay and saw her wonderful set up, including a sensory garden and play area for the dogs. Toby and Chloe even went for a taster day before their stay, at no extra charge. While we were away Suzi sent us messages and photos to let us know how happy and settled they were. They are now looking forward to their next visit in the summer, while we are totally reassured that they are being very well cared for 😊🐶
Absolutely brilliant daycare and boarding the best in the area. My cockerpoo has been to a few but have never settled overnight with anyone. Suzi is brilliant and is like a dog whisperer she is fantastic with our cockerpoo and has helped us with some of her anxiety issues. She has stayed with Suzi when we go away and the first time we couldn't believe the dog we came back to she was brilliant. Couldn't recommend Suzi doggy daycare and boarding enough. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
I am so glad I found “Just-Like-Home” as Suzi offers a truly amazing atmosphere for dogs. When I first brought Poppy to meet Suzi, my first impression was a place of calm but also a fun and stimulating environment for dogs. It's so comforting to know that when I'm on holiday, I know that Poppy is being very well looked after. Poppy recently had a 2 night stay and during all this very hot weather, Suzi purchased an air con unit to keep all the dogs cool!! Another lovely touch is that Suzi also sends photos and video clips which is great. Looking forward to Poppy’s 10 night stay in August. I can highly recommend “Just-Like-Home”, you won't be disappointed! 😀
Suzi looked after our 2 dogs for 12 nights when we went on holiday. She was fantastic! We received daily updates on them both as well as videos of them playing in her garden, which was much appreciated. The dogs really did make themselves at home, and I felt reassured leaving them with her. We will definitely use Just Like Home again when we next go away. :)
Our 14year old fur baby stayed with Suzi recently for 2 weeks, she had never stayed with anyone but family before and we were concerned about how she would be. Suzi and her team were absolutely amazing, Sasha had a fabulous time and we were sent regular pictures and videos of the fun she was having. We cannot recommend Just Like Home enough, your fur baby will have a great time with Suzi.
