Bernadette is a lovely and absolutely kind petsitter! You can tell from the first moment that she loves animals and knows how to behave with them. She would sent me almost daily videos from Chili and Pepper while I was abroad. They seemed very happy and well cared all the time and she was making sure that I was able to see it and also was even interested in my wellbeing. The apartment was in perfect condition when I came back and she even bought already enough food for the next days. Her personality is so kind and lovely that she would leave also a very good impression to my neighbors and my mum, so I really hope that we will stay in contact not only for a potential next sit. Thank you so much for everything!
I can't recommend Dieter enough! Dieter arrived a few hours before I left for the airport so we had time for a meet and greet in person, including Adonis (my pooch). Dieter sent me regular updates and photos of Adonis which was very reassuring. I was so pleased to know that while I was away Adonis was safe, happy and being well looked after. When I arrive home at 6am I found my house spotless - Dieter had cleaned it! It was such a nice surprise. We had time for a chat before Dieter left to continue on his travels. Adonis was one very happy pup and I was one very happy dog mum! Thanks so much Dieter, I wish you all the very best. Safe Travels, Cindy and Adonis :)
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!
Have taken our Lucy here twice and she has been so well looked after. She comes home full of bounce. The staff are lovely and Lucy is not nervous about going there so I feel confident leaving her with them.
Absolutely brilliant place, my dog is totally hyper and crazy, but settles well here and she loves the place. Excellent service and she always comes home happy. The lady's here are both lovely, friendly and have excellent customer service, wouldn't use anywhere else for my nutter.
My Cooper loves Plum Tree it’s like a second home to him 🐾🐾❤️ …
Beautiful quiet setting, lovely mother and daughter that run the place. My dogs have boarded here and we're well looked after. They're the first kennels that one my dogs actually liked, she didn't come home clingy and was very settled. Highly recommend.
Marley enjoys his stays here. Always friendly. Take great care of my dog. If he's been unwell they've sought vetinarary help. Flexible. And very reliable. Thank you
Wonderful family run kennels, really helped my very anxious rescue dog settle, so we could go on holidays and not worry. Professional, and very caring.
My dog winnie has stopped here 4 times, it is a lovely setting and the staff are brilliant and very friendly. It's a clean environment and winnie always comes home happy and healthy. Highly recommended for your fur babies...
Not sure ; wasn’t given the opportunity to have a good look around when bringing my dogs, I could see that they didn’t have an open run of there own going out onto grass,I wasn’t asked what my dogs like to eat , it seemed like they were in a hurry for us leave; the dogs where there 15 nights; on there return I could see they had lost weight , they ate two and a half full meals when we got back home , we weren’t told what they would be fed ,so it’s hard to give a proper review .
By far the best kennels I've taken my doggo. Very friendly and understanding people, they took amazing care and attention of my family dog. Can't recommend them highly enough.
Friendly,professional staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Dogs returned clean and not smelling doggy.
Nala stayed at Whitley whilst we got married and it was so lovely to know that she was well taken care of and happy whilst we were away! The pictures and videos are so lovely to see whilst we were away also. 100% would recommend.
It was a brief visit for dogs to be seen and assessed all went well and the staff were very friendly
Used some time ago as an opportunity to socialise my dog on a half day basis. Was good initially until they began to post about money short fallings in the industry and started to turn away half day dogs to be replaced by full day. With no real explanation apart from a 10 second conversation in the car park amongst other dog parents we were told full days or no longer welcome. I asked about the use of the office for such sensitive conversations only to be told the office is only available for full day or boarding parents. Money over care unfortunately. Have used others since who are amazing!
Minnie really enjoyed her stay at Whitley Cross. They are great and send videos most days. I will be taking Minnie there again soon.
Amazing service. We took our dog originally to another Kennels when we picked him up he looked scared and not himself. So said we'd never go back. We then came across Whitley and thank God we did !! They're amazing treat your dog as if he was there own, they get looked after so so well and even have doggie socials, so the dogs get to mingle and have fun together. You can also opt to have pictures put on there Facebook page, so whilst you're away, you get to see your pet on holiday too. I cannot recommend this team enough, our dog gets so excited going there and when you pick him up you can see how happy he is, it's Amazing. I cannot thank this team enough keep up the professional and excellent service you can tell the passion, love and care you all put into your jobs. Thank you.
Would highly recommend Whitley Crest . Maggie over 13years old & Bonnie over 5 years old have been with the team for over two weeks and I’ve had videos and photos of them looking very happy and contented through out this time . The staff are friendly knowledgeable and caring to all . Nothing was too much trouble . See you soon team Whitley . Definite 5 stars 🌟 from us !
Whiteley Crest were amazing at helping us to have our dog attend our wedding at Rowton Castle. We organised for groomsmen to drop her off and pickup, and they both commented on how nice the kennels were and how happy our dog was around the staff. We've also seen this ourselves when we did a trial run a few months ago. Thanks so much!
Friendly and welcoming staff. Fantastic with our dog and would happily book her in for a stay anytime. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a boarding/day care facility who really care!
What a fabulous stay my doggies have had ❤️ they were happy and well looked after and we loved seeing the photos of them enjoying their social times with the other doggies staying. This is the first time they have ever stayed in kennels and we are more than happy and comfortable to have them stay here again with out a shadow of a doubt. Thank you so much to everyone at Whitley Crest.
Our three cats spent the weekend with Whitely Crest in April. The two younger ones, it was their first time in a cattery, and they took it in their stride. They came home happy and healthy. The oldest cat had stayed before. He came home stressed, and wouldn't eat for the next week, and wasn't himself. This is no way a reflection on the way he was looked after by Whitley. It's just him, I think. He spent a long time there the first time on his own (46 days), and I don't think he coped well. This time, even though he had his brother and sister with him, he doesn't seem to have settled. Luckily, he's now back to his old self.
Absolutely amazing value for money my doberman loves it there and spends most of his time in the water would definitely recommend
My dog started wags & Wiskers last year at a young age he was nervous at his first visit but with help from the girls he soon became confident very quickly he loves his Fridays would highly reccomend . And I just love the updates on instagram during the day 💫 …
Beanie has been coming to Wags & Whiskers for 4 and 1/2 years now, he goes twice a week and absolutely loves it. All the staff are amazing and they show so much love towards all the dogs. He comes back exhausted both days from all the fun he has & we couldn’t be more grateful to Steph & all the team at Wags for providing Beanie such a fab place to play. Beth x
My mad spaniel, Paddy, has been going to Wags for over three years now and he loves it! Steph and her staff clearly adore dogs, and they make sure that their charges are exercised, stimulated and rested as appropriate. I love that I can see on Instagram what my boy is up to when he’s there!
I can honestly say wags and whiskers is so good .Our little Finn has been going for nearly 12 months now and loves his days .steph and all the girls are fantastic ,the facilities are so good with plenty of outside space and play areas . It is also great value for money . We had a bad experience with first daycare place we choose for Finn so moved him to wags so glad we did . Also Steph is a great groomer so Finn can also have a groom . If you are looking for daycare wags is the place . Annette
Bob has been with Wags for a few years now and it's fantastic. I can tell from the social media updates he is having a ball and he loves the staff. I know I can drop him off and trust he'll have a great time with his doggy pals and be looked after my the team.
My dog absolutely loves it there, she goes twice a week. I can always tell she’s had a great day as she falls asleep as soon as I put her in the car. Great value for money & the staff are lovely xx
My dog has been going since he was a pup and adores it! He goes twice a week and they’re his favourite days, always comes home shattered. Can’t praise the team enough. Amazing place 🤩 …
Even if I wasn't working, I would still send my dog here, she absolutely loves it, and I get peace of mind knowing that she is happy and safe for the day. Would highly recommend this place to any dog owners....its brilliant 👏 …
What a fantastic experience for our 3 dogs, they absolutely loved it. Loads for them to do, didn't stopped running around for the whole hour. All was very quite on the way home. Easy access to all gates. Even though there were sheep and horses in the next fields the dogs wernt interested at all. Felt very secure in all areas. Definitely recommend and will book again. Great place for a dog party. 🐕
Our dog loves her stays at Oggies Doggies. Such professional staff and a fantastic environment. Highly recommend.
Oggies Doggies Day Care has fantastic, dedicated, caring people and a safe environment for all your doggie needs. I Would highly recommend 5 Star established.
Excellent care and really friendly. Jenny loves it
We were told we would have 2 or 3 trial days to let our dog familiarise with the new environment before being assessed for boarding which we thought was a good idea. However, the staff at Oggies Doggies advised us that our dog wouldn’t be suitable for boarding as he can sometimes steal things and jump up at counter tops.. on his first trial day at somewhere he’s not been before. We felt that our dog hadn’t been given a chance to settle in, maybe they prefer docile dogs who don’t give the staff too much to do? Anyway, we’ve since found Splendid Hounds a couple of miles down the road and they’re fantastic, and say our dog is no bother at all.
My Remi absolutely loves coming here, was reading some reviews and want to just say, they were unsure when Remi first came if he would be okay with the other dogs and being left, but they worked really hard with me and Remi and introduced him slowly and we went on quieter days before being transitions to busy days. Didnt mind doing this at all as I wanted to know that he would be 100% ok before leaving him overnight and while on holiday. They know the dogs they care for and they also know when a dog is not going to be happy. They literally worked wonders with my Remi and now can go on any day with any dog and stays overnight lovely. The staff are absolutely amazing and love my boy like their own. I get lovely photo updates which put my mind at ease, although sometimes I worry he won't want to come home as he is having so much fun. Hahaha. Highly recommended!!!!
My dog went here on 3/4 occasions and he seemed to enjoy it and was tired when he came home. However, after the 2nd visit we were told to he was mounting other dogs too much and they advised that we get him neutered, after taking vets advise they stated that at 9 months old this may be too young for a big dog to be neutered. On the 4th visit we were advised that he was mounting other dogs too much, was winey and barked at times. I understand that it is not fair on the other dogs for them to be mounted but it seems from reading other reviews on Facebook and google that they only want placid dogs who don’t play very much! Also the initial meet and greet session was £10 and only lasted 10 minutes before they said that he would be welcome, if this had lasted longer the unwanted behaviour may have been spotted. The dog enjoyed it but wasn’t the best fit for him and his puppy behaviours.
Both of my dogs regularly go here it's the best place I've ever left them it's home from home the owners are fabulous with them aswell, in my honest opinion nowhere else comes close 10/10
Checked with Bobby and he loves coming to Oggies .
Just collected my daughters 2 dogs who visited maggies mutts for the first time . They looked so happy and it was so reassuring to get a daily photograph to show how the dogs were. It was very professional when I collected them , password etc. I will most definitely bring my dog here when we go away next time
Maggie's mutts is the only person who l will take my dog's to she is very good at her job and the dog's relay get on well with her thanks and keep up the good work
Very patient, knowledgeable, caring and well priced
Maggie treated our three collies like her own, very happy with her service.
Only 24hrs but will be back.
Alice and the team have been walking Marley since he was a pup over 4+ years now. They provide an excellent service and Marley always looks forward to his doggy walks.
Alice has made a real go at creating and growing her business. She is a very capable young lady. She has a lovely way with all animals and our Charlie adores her. We have used many of her services, and we have always been more than happy to recommend her to friends. We will often call on Alice for help and advice too, nothing is too much trouble for her. Alice has also started to provide hampers for those special occasions and after the lovey Christmas hamper Charlie can't wait for Easter!
Ali looked after our felines for the summer. No job was too small for her and she took her time to come and get to know the cats before we went away. I felt calm, happy and settled and rightly so, as when we returned the cats were happy and healthy and I had regular updates about how they were and photos to confirm all was well. A really efficient, happy and helpful person. Will be using AJs services again. Thank you so much Ali for all that you did.
Alice has been amazing with my dog who is a rescue. She’s really coming out of her shell. She doesn’t trust strangers but seemed to really warm to Alice quite quickly. Confidence building walks have been amazing for my dog and she’s really thriving from all the work Alice has done with her. Thanks so much.
Alice looked after our beloved cat, Boba whilst we were away. First time having Alice care for Boba. Alice was so caring and professional, ensuring she did a meet & greet before us going away, and noting all information for boba including vets etc. This gave us reassurance she would give the upmost care to Boba. During our trip, she was in regular contact, updates and pictures, Boba took such a like to Alice. Highly recommend and already booked Alice for our next trip
Alice is great with my dog Oscar, he really enjoys his trips out . Alice also takes similar types of dogs out together on each walk, so there is a great walk for everyone ! Very professional, personable and Oscar really happy with her
I have two very precious sausage dogs and Alice understands just how precious they are to me. She knows I prefer them to be socialised with smaller dogs for their backs. She understands their raw feed diet. She's very knowledge about all different dog breeds but she's not pushy with it. She adapts to your routine and whatever is best for your dog she will do. She goes above and beyond for my boys and they love her so much. I wouldn't want anyone else to look after my boys. They love alice and she loves them just as much. Thanks for being you!!!! So reliable, so professional and great service.
Alice has been walking our rescue boy and introducing him teaching him to be sociable with other dogs Freddie adores her and respond very well to her capable handling 10/10 . Her ready smile cheers me up too in these difficult days
Thank you for looking after my grumpy Sphynx Cat. Abbie kept me up to date which reassured me he was fine whilst we were away. I would definately recommend this service
Fabulous peace of mind that our pets are checked on during the day , and our furries clearly love having AJ services during the day .
My Daisy really loves going to Oggies doggies day care, she is always excited and then always tired when she comes home! She bounces in there as she loves it so much! I totally trust Daisy in the care of Maria & she is professional and ensures all dogs are friendly so I don’t need to worry about my baby for the day! Wish I could send her more often lol 🥰 I Highly recommend Oggies Doggies
Highly recommend oggies doggie care excellent with our two, soon our rescue will also be going once she settles in our home .highly recommend for day and holiday care. Nothing too much trouble we know our dogs in safe happy tail wagging fun environment
It's a great place to leave your doggie in good care , but my little one was overwhelmed by the bigger dogs so they had no option but to keep her inside on her 5 hour visit ,so sadly she cannot go again as there's not enough staff on days when there are a lot of dogs in day care centre to monitor all dogs inside and out ,which is a shame I was do hoping my little one would have loved playing with all dogs big and small .
Fantastic home from home environment for dogs! Lots of space to run around in and play with others! Dogs are well looked after as part of the family! 100% would recommend!
Absolutely brilliant, really impressed with how well my dog is looked after whilst at Oggies. I only have to mention the word Oggies and his tail is wagging like mad and that says it all for me!
Can't rate this day care highly enough. Karin has been a big help looking after our dog with affection and professionalism. Also offering great advice on how to deal with our maxybears issues. I would highly recommend!
We left our Irish Terrier at Dogs at Home for three weeks, having been recommended it by a friend. What an excellent decision! Unfortunately, our dog became very ill due to a pre-existing condition and Karina was ABSOLUTELY wonderful. Sensible, caring, calm and keeping us up to date at all times, even using her excellent local vet too. We have just had the test results back and he is back at full fitness. Karina is not just an animal lover, she has a wealth of experience with dogs, and has exactly the right type of character to look after your dog in a professional and caring way. Anthony
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOME BOARDING SERVICE - We used Dogs at Home for the first time and we couldn’t have been happier with the care given to our two old dogs. They are both on medication, but Karina wasn’t put off by that at all, it just wasn’t a problem for her. Karina is obviously very caring towards the dogs she looks after and her wealth of experience made us feel very much at ease leaving our old boys with her. When we collected them we could see they were happy and well. We will definitely be bringing the boys back to stay.
This was the second stay for our rescue Mr. Darcy. I was nervous the first time we left him with Karina, but he came back home happy and healthy. His second holiday, he was happy to see Karina and wandered off her without any fuss! I am just so happy we have found someone who will care for our boy when we are away. I highly recommend "Dogs at Home", and we love getting our updates of photos and videos. It does our boy good to socialise with the other dogs in day or holiday care. Karina is professional, caring, and experienced in dog handling. Thank you.
I cannot recommend Dogs at Home highly enough. My dog has been attending regularly for day care and overnight stays since she was a puppy and she absolutely adores her time with Karina; always returning home happy, exhausted and content. Karina is really focused on providing a safe, protective and nurturing environment for the dogs in her care and is passionate about their welfare. Look no further for the very best possible care and experience for your precious loved one.
I was a bit worried about leaving our GSD puppy for the first time. Karina has done a fantastic job with caring for our big boy and kept us updated on his well being the whole way through with videos, photos and messages. I will be definitely using this service again. We went on holiday and this was booked before we got our Bear so it only felt right that bear went on a holiday too. I didn’t feel right sending him to an actual kennel where he would be locked away in a cage. He has had the most amazing week and great socialising too. Thank you so much for having him for us and taking such great care of him. He is one worn out pup but he’s had a lovely time. I’m so happy to have him home.
Update 16 months later (April 2023) - our dog was so neclected at Dogs at Home that he is terrified anytime he sees us packing the bags. It looks like poor old boy confidence has been lost forever. --------------------- December 2021 - We left our dog with Karina for Christmas hoping he will have better home than in a kennel. I can not comment how he was looked after as I was not there. Sadly when he was collected his fabric crate had a very strong smell of urine, detected on the drive back home (a very pungent journey!). When we checked inside, we saw that the crate and all of his bedding was full of urine. We had to throw away everything and became really concerned what happened. We called Karina and asked if she has any idea why our dogs bedding was wet and urinated. Sadly, she was unable to provide any explanation, and strongly rejected the fact that his bed was covered in wee. We can only state that upon collection, it was in an unacceptable state, and has caused us serious reservations about the level of care our dog received over Christmas. I don't like writing this review, and it is not something being done for any reason other than outlining our experience.
Parting with our three beautiful fur-babies is always difficult but Karina offers a home from home environment where we know they will be well looked after until our return. The regular photos and videos she sends are lovely touches and reflect the care and attention she gives to making sure the owners, as well as the dogs, are as stress-free as possible. I can highly recommend.
My boy Waffle has been going to Karina for around a year now. He is very attached to me and usually becomes anxious if he cant see me but handing him over to Karina its like I don't exist he doesn't even look back at me as he trots off to his stay. I recieve updates, videos and pictures and Karina is so flexible and has helped me lots at short notice. I'm so relieved I have found Karina as I know my boy is cared for when I can not be with him.
Karina was looking after our labrador Frugo several times now. Never had any issues and we were having a laugh seeing his pictures as he seems to have better holidays than us 🤣 He always looks very happy 😊 …
