Lei and Dino exceeded all expectations and were a delight to have stay with our pets. We appreciated everything about them and would love to see them again
We are so happy that we chose Paige and Jackie to house sit for us the two weeks we were on vacation. They get an unqualified five star review from us. Three things stand out. Resourcefulness. The day after we left, our water softener started leaking and they noticed it right away and shut it off before any damage was done. Cleanliness. I think that our house was actually cleaner when we returned than when we left. Pet care. They loved our dog Rufus and he loved them as well. We received updates with videos frequently. We would ask them to come back any time and really hope that they would accept the invitation.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 19.99 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Sophie is probably the best person ever to take your dogs to. My two have been going to Sophie for daycare since May. It was strange because I couldn't have a look around because of Covid. But I knew she was good because a couple of people in the village said she was brilliant. Anyway, they bloody love it there. Thay are happy and relaxed. Stan thinks he owns the place. Not only the dogs but Sophie was a complete lifeline for me during lockdown. We had many chats over the fence and I would love to call her a friend. Any money spent here is well spent. 100% recommended!!!
A fantastic doggy daycare. Sophie really knows how to look after your dog. It's a 10 min walk from Honicombe Manor so excellent if your staying there and need a day or so without your furry friend. My Finnish Lapphund will let me know if he doesn't like somewhere but didn't dig in and need dragging, which for him is a very positive review.
Shophie is fantastic you couldn't wish for a better person to look after your pet. She goes above and beyond with your pet if there were 10 stars it would be 10/10.
My pup is a rescue from Romania, he has previous trauma and anxieties which has made it very difficult for me to find a kennels for him. He is such a wonderful boy but this has never been seen by previous kennels due to his fears of new people. However, for the first time ever, I have come home from my travels to find not only had my boy eaten while I was away including hand feeding when needed (he previously has gone on hunger strike while I’ve been away) but he had walked every day and even allowed head scratches!! This has overwhelmed me with joy and I honestly will never use any other kennel to look after my boy when I have to travel. They are so kind, gentle and work in line with the needs of your pets. They took time to have a settling in day, getting to know my pup and ensuring he felt comfortable with them as well as reassuring me that he would be in good hands. This is an absolutely wonderful place and leaving your fur baby here ensures that they are safe, happy and well looked after. I can not express how wonderful this place is. I will be sure to recommend them. I can not sing their praises enough.
This was my first time using a cattery whilst I went on holiday. Affordable & fantastic service with a particular mention to Luke - really put me at ease, showed me around the cattery and when I picked my cat up, I could tell she had been loved and looked after really well whilst I’d been away. I would absolutely use a cattery again - I travelled from Plymouth to Kit Hill & would likely do that again rather than going local purely based on the service for this stay. Thank you from me & Maggie!
My dog Rusty stayed recently for the first time, on arrival the lady at reception came out to greet him and I could see he was immediately at ease with her and happily went off with her. On our return to collect him we spoke to Luke who was already very knowledgeable about our dog so I knew he had been well looked after, he looked well fed and in good condition and was happy. I would certainly recommend Kit Hill Boading Kennels for your dog.
Lovely place to keep your pets, well looked after and lots of baggy tails
Our dog stayed here for two weeks, the team asked lots of questions and wanted to meet our dog before his stay which was very reassuring. He came back happy and very tired obviously had a good time would certainly recommend
We have used Kit Hill Kennels several times and Molly has always been welcomed and had the best time. I would definitely recommended them.
Our dog stayed at kithill castle kennels the first time for 3 weeks at the end of summer. I have to say he was so well cared for, the staff are knowledgeable and kind. When I collected him they told me things about his personality and quirks which proved to me they spent time with him. When we got home ted didn't sulk which confirmed to us he had a good holiday too. Thank you Dawn and your team we will definitely use your services again and recommend others to use this kennel.
Left my two dogs for a week for the first time and found the owner Dawn and her team to be very helpful and friendly. My dogs were clearly well cared for. Would not hesitate to use again and recommend to others.
We booked our 2 dogs in for 8 days, slightly apprehensive after a different experience elsewhere. We opted for kennels this time as felt they may feel better just on their own. The communication with Dawn and the team was brilliant before hand answering any questions I had. Drop off was very simple and quick yet thorough and they went through everything that would happen and listened to any worries/routines we had. On pick up the boys came bounding out wagging tails, healthy looking and not smelly (which had happened at the previous place and my main concern) they had clearly been looked after well, they have come home and not been in a mood with us either! We will definitely use kit hill for all our holidays now and recommend to friends and family. Thank you guys! Winston, Hugo and humans!
Great service, they managed to fit our 2 dogs in at the last minute over Christmas having never used them before, on collecting our dogs they knew everything about them and the dogs came out happy and almost reluctant to leave. Thank you Dawn and the team will definitely be booking again and recommending to others
Carol and Ollie looked after our Cockapoo Mable for 4 nights. She had never been to a kennels or a home boarder before and at 10 we were worried about how she would settle. The home visit to meet Mable put our minds completely at rest. We then went to visit Ollie and she had a chance to wander around the house and garden. I would very much recommend We Love Pets and we will definitely be choosing to bring Mable back for another visit.
FANTASTIC!! Ollie & Carol are amazing, welcoming & friendly. Our labs love coming to stay, both for day care & longer stays. The excitement in their tails says it all when we arrive at their house, making a beeline straight to the toy box . .And not even goodbye to us, charming – our dogs have certainly made themselves at home. Ollie & Carol make the whole process really easy from initial meet & greet, understanding our needs & our dogs, through to booking & payment. And there's plenty of communication whilst they look after our dogs with updates via Whatsapp. There’s no stress, we feel really comfortable leaving our dogs (securely) with them knowing that they will get all the love, attention, plenty of exercise & loads of cuddles (spoilt is an understatement :-) ). Keep up the great work – see you for the next two week stay soon
Carol and Ollie looked after our pooch Pepe and Pepe has congestive heart failure requiring medication multiple times a day. We wanted to ensure that he was with carers who were confident and happy to take on a pet that requires a little extra attention and diligence. Both Carol and Ollie took the time with us and Pepe, with multiple introductions so it wasn’t such a shock for him to be in a new home. (I should also mention he has terrible separation anxiety). We are so lucky to have found We Love Pets Tamar Valley, who took amazing care of Pepe and kept us up to date daily with pictures and updates such as his breathing rates etc. thank you for being not just a wonderful support for Pepe but also for us so we could focus on what we needed to do while we were away
Carol and Ollie have been brilliant with my sprocker, Winston. Whether it’s for walks, day care or last minute pop ins when I am delayed at work, I can’t recommend them highly enough. Winston is always delighted to see them which I think says it all!
Carol and Ollie such beautiful souls, both were entrusted with the care of Nelly our older Labrador and Tally Ho the bonkers lurcher. Throughout we were sent pics whilst at a festival, both settled and taking in the love afforded during their stay. Will look no further the next time we are away, particularly for the old boy who just needs settled time (I thank Paul). Absolutely stunning folk with huge hearts for extended fanimals. 🌱
We were so fortunate to book Carol for the care of our ageing dogs Coco and Lula . They are our babies and have medical needs due to their 14 and 15 years xx Coco needs a lot of medication including eye drops . All very hard for us to administer let alone someone else . CAROL was amazing !!!! She cared for them with love and patience . They seem so well and healthy on our return and more importantly we’re very happy doggies . She sent me regular txt to keep me up to date with their care and wellbeing and I cannot recommend her highly enough . I will never use anyone else again for my holiday dog care . I could actually relax and enjoy my holiday knowing my very old dogs we’re in extremely good hands x
Ollie and Carol are the best. Professional, calm, considerate. Be aware that your dog may rapidly love them more than you, but that's probably a good thing.
Carol and Oli provided the perfect home from home for my cocker Pippin. Lovely setting and loved like their own. They come highly recommended.
Carol & Ollie are just superb - nothing is too much trouble. Excellent service.
Extremely helpful and easy to contact, professional service and even knowlegable about exotics! Highly recomend giving them a go!
Jessie absolutely adores Claire and Nigel and I am very comfortable knowing she is in great hands.
Claire takes exceptional care of our dog. The attention to detail and love shown to visiting dogs is exceptional
Good service dogs well looked after and cared for.
A brilliant safe place to leave your much loved dog.
I was wondering how much a week would be for 2 chahuahuas please
Excellent 👍 All very happy dogs 🐕😀 …
Really good friendly service at a good price
Been using this kennels for years and always recommend to anyone looking for a kennel..our dogs Bramble and Willow are well looked after. Big thank you 😊. …
I have an 8 year old PJR who is not used to kennels. Sarah and Neil offered a taster 4 hour session whereby the dog could get to know the place, and Sarah and Neil could get to know the dog. That is their ethos: understanding the dog and its foibles! Sarah and Neil are kind, caring and knowledgeable and apply that to the service they offer, along with many treats. My dog will want to go back! Thanks to you both🙏
We recently used Kestrel Kennels for the first time. We felt very comfortable with leaving our two boys there due to the efforts made prior to this by kestrel kennels to make them feel welcome and relaxed whilst there. It was clear that they genuinely want their guests to feel as comfortable as possible and they gave us every reassurance they would take care of our beloved boys as if they were their own. Our basset hound Humphrey was 13 at the time and contrary as bassets are, whilst our clumber spaniel Ted just wants to play ball. At kestrel kennels the boys went out several times a day to play and sniff in the paddocks. On our return our boys were clearly happy and kestrel kennels shared anecdotes about our boys which clearly showed they had taken the time to understand our boys and work with them to make them feel happy and relaxed. We are so pleased to have found this kennel and I would say it is the best kennel we have used over the last 15 years. The care and understanding they show to each individual dog shows how genuine they are and I cannot recommend them enough.
Five star kennels, Neil and Sarah really do provide excellent care. My very lively labrador has been going to Kestrel Kennels on a regular basis for a while and being able to leave him knowing he is being well looked after gives a great peace of mind. I think Jackson now sees it as an extension of his home which is all credit to Neil and Sarah.
We have found Sarah and Neil extremely helpful in looking after our young boisterous Labrador Jem when he stays at Kestrel Kennels. Jem enjoys his holiday - and we enjoy ours knowing he is so well looked after. He goes very willingly and comes home settled. We are pleased that we have found this excellent kennels and highly recommend them
Neil and Sarah are amazing, they were a recommendation and very very happy with leaving our dogs with them. Will be going back x
I wouldn’t leave my dogs with anyone else. Neil and Sarah are true dog lovers and there’s always lots of wagging tails and wet noses.
What a lovely caring couple Sarah and Neil are, our dog Morgan stayed with them while we had a family wedding, a little shy Morgan is but seemed to have a lovely chilled time with them, highly recommend this couple to take good care of your beloved family, Many Thanks again XX
Alway look after my two rouges very well! In fact my dogs get extremely excited every time we approach the kennels. You in safe hand with Sarah and Neil, tempted to book in for myself!
Well, 1st time of using these Kennels as the one I normally use was full and all other local were also full. So so glad I chose this one, they were brilliant from start to finish, the dogs were so happy when I picked them up, says a lot when the dogs want to to go back in to see the proprietors before leaving. Definitely recommended and will be using again. Thanks a million! Used a few times now and the dogs love it here.
What can I say....this place is amazing! We were let down last minute with our sitter and the staff here moved heaven and earth to get Arthur in. Naturally we were nervous to put our dog in a Kennels but we had a visit and our fears were immediately put to rest. The grounds are beautiful, the staff are friendly and caring and the facilities are lovely. I even had calls during the week to reassure us whilst we were away. Highly recommended and we will definitely use again.
Fantastic staff and my dogs thoroughly enjoyed there stay. We were anxious as it was the first time we parted from them but the trial day and welcome from all staff and seeing how happy my boys were I would thoroughly recommend and use again x
I booked my 10 month old kitten Gary here for the first time for 9 nights. Everything from arranging a viewing to collecting Gary was 10/10 Such a lovely Cattery and well cared for place in general. Gary will definitely be back! Thank you.
Had our Lakeland Terrier, Raye, here for two separate weeks this year. Cracking kennels. Lovely staff, very professional and Raye comes home tired but in great shape.
All 4 of my cats have had stays at Tri-acre on multiple occasions. The staff are welcoming, the place is beautiful and I would definitely recommend.
My parents used to bring our Springer here and always highly recommended tri-acre. My sister now brings her Sprocker here and we've just picked up our Sprocker Alfie after his very first stay. It seems he had a lovely time and has been well looked after. Friendly, welcoming staff and a lovely property/location. Can't recommend them enough and will be bringing Alfie back in June when we have a wedding to attend.
We took our 7 month old rotweiller to Tri Acre and they managed to fit us in instantly and our dog had a great time there, he didn't seem to want to come back so must have been good
Our cat never returns distressed. The staff are kind, helpful and maintain good communication. We always go away knowing our cat is in safe hands.
Our rottweiler called teddy,had never stayed in kennels before. I was very worried about leaving him,the people working there were lovely. Holly was really lovely, and put me at ease. I phoned every day to check on him,and they always put my mind at ease. Will definitely use these again.
One of the best cattery/kennels in CORNWALL could not be happier with the service and care they take our dog
Outstanding! We went to Berlin for a few days and entrusted Orestocks Cattery to look after our three precious Serengeti male cats who can be a bit of a handful sometimes, and we couldn't be happier with the service we received. Right from our initial enquiry, through dropping them off and collection, Orestocks were exemplary. The cattery is the best we have ever seen, highly professional, very clean and extremely well organised. Prices are excellent too. We wouldn't hesitate to use Orestocks again in the future, thank you so much for looking after our cats and giving us the confidence that they were in safe hands whilst we were away.
The care and kindness that they show to our shy young cat is amazing. They have such an understanding of cat behaviour and temperament. Thank you!
Left our two cats here for a week. Their living quarters were a good size, very clean and lots of light. The sides of their "rooms", are clear perspex but can have a covering if the neighbours don't get along. There is an outside view for all the cats with beautiful scenery and wildlife to watch. Our young cat was his first experience in a cattery and when we arrived to collect them they looked so chilled and relaxed, it was lovely to see. Our older girl is not a cat who likes too much fuss but she looked really well. A previous cattery she'd lost weight and ate for two when we got her home but not at Orestock. We really would recommend Orestock and will certainly hope to use them again.
First time used. Our cat and dog stayed for 12 days. Both seemed happy. A very well run and organised establishment. The dogs are taken out several times a day for a run out in a very large secure paddock. We were very happy using Orestocks and will definitely use again.
Looked after our two Cavaliers for a few days and they seem to have had a great time. Lots of pictures on the website of happy dogs playing out in the field. The owners clearly love dogs (and now cats). We'll be leaving out two there again knowing they will be fine.
Orestock provides a lovely home-from-home for our two cats. They cared well for a problem with one of them during their stay and the cats are always well and relaxed on their return.
The dogs are always excited when they get to the kennels! Great staff and the facilities are great for the dogs. I would thoroughly recommend if you're going away as they will take great care of the dogs
Two dogs came home really happy and content having had a great holiday at Orestocks. What better recommendation can you have x
Always place my dog on these kennels he comes out looking good and I think they treat the dogs great.
My dog is 9 and has been going there since she was one wouldn't take her eany where else always happy and well cared for
