I was looking for sitter last minute and I was very lucky Sabrina applied- she was very enthusiastic from the start on, communicated very clearly, replied to messages quickly and was available for a meeting right the next day, as luckily, she was already in Berlin. Being an experienced sitter and animal lover as well as an Airbnb host, she was very confident to take good care of my kitties and my home. it was very touching how much she liked the cats and how easily she connected with them. it was really easy to get organized with sabrina and she was also very helpful and proactive, e.g. she helped me carry my luggage to the car when I left for my weekend trip. she sent some very nice updates and photos that confirmed everything was going very well. when I returned, the cats seemed very happy, the plants had been watered well during the hot weekend, and the apartment was perfectly clean and tidy. I totally recommend Sabrina as a sitter, and I would book her again any time.
Andy and Julie were brilliant house-sitters and we're so glad to have met them and welcomed them into our home. Their communication throughout the whole process was excellent and we felt very comfortable leaving the pets and house in their capable hands. Andy and Julie did everything we asked of them and left the house spotlessly clean and tidy, even leaving some beautiful flowers for us to return home to. They sent us regular updates and photographs and didn't hesitate to contact us with any issues or requirements. We cannot recommend Andy and Julie enough and if they didn't live so far way we'd have them back every time we go away! Thanks again, guys! Jeff, Sarah, Max, Elen, Dudley & Maggie
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!
We were looking for a reliable, friendly and flexible kennel for our dog. He had spent the odd night away before boarding with Annette, but never any extended period. Annette put our minds at rest and our dog now looks forward to his holidays with her. We get regular updates and any questions are always answered promptly. Having researched the area, the prices are incredibly reasonable. As a family, we highly recommend Hairy Holidays as a safe, reliable and comfortable kennel for dog lovers!
It has been our Dogs second stay at Hairy Holidays and he absolutely loves it! 💙 Annette is lovely, great fun and very friendly. Our Dog remembered her and was so excited to see her and covered her in licks when we arrived! It’s lovely to see him running free in the garden and playing with the other dogs! It’s a beautiful location with plenty of space for the Dogs and we know that our boy is in safe hands with Annette.
We could not recommend Annette/Hairy Holidays highly enough. Annette really understands dogs and runs a very homely kennels in a great location with loads of fields to exercise in. Desmond dog has stayed there many times and definitely now considers it a dog holiday. He recognises Annette immediately and realises it's a home from home.🐾🐾
My dog visits here for day boarding, nights, weekenders and long stays over 4 weeks. He loves it and the fantastic activities and moorland walks he gets whilst in their care. Anette is his Exmoor mum and she keeps him in line! She sends you regular updates on long stays so that you know your dog is well cared for. Day care can be with 8-12 other dogs. They also have kennels. Overnight home boarding is in their home with their family and dogs (friendly working Cockers). My dog isn't the best at socialising yet he does really well from his visits to Hairy Holidays.
Annette was so helpful when we needed to board our dog Murphy last summer…every local kennel or sitter was sadly unavailable and so on our 13th try (lucky for us) Annette came to the rescue. She even offered to come & collect him when our travel arrangements made it difficult for us to drop him off. We are so grateful to Annette for being so accommodating despite being busy herself with a family wedding. Murphy had the best time - in such a beautiful setting too - running about the garden and in the fields with the other dogs. Can’t recommend this kennels & the proprietors highly enough.
Our 6 month old pup stayed at Hairy Holidays and loved it! Annette was brilliant with him and he obviously loved her and the other dogs. She took the time to send us photos and a message, mid-stay, to let us know how he was doing. We would highly recommend Hairy Holidays to anyone. Thanks Annette. 😊 …
We are so happy we found Hairy Holidays. From the beginning Annette was friendly, approachable and professional . whilst we were away we received updates and pictures of our girl out on walks enjoying herself, assuring us all was well. The weather was so bad whilst we were on holiday that Annette took her into her home and she was settled and cared for. What more could you want to know, that your pet is happy and well looked after whilst you are away. 5 stars from us.
We are a retired couple with a young, very energetic, Labrador Cross. We like to take lengthy holidays and need kennels that we can trust to, not only look after our dog but also give him the exercise that he needs. Annette is clearly a passionate dog lover and, critically for us, she takes them all out every day for long runs over Exmoor or down to the beach. Our dog clearly loves being in these kennels and comes home in excellent health, happy and well exercised. We are delighted to have found such a caring environment for our dog and thoroughly recommend these kennels.
I don't know where to start with the compliments for Hairy Holidays, Annette (the Owner) is superb, she helped us at the 11th hour with our dog who was unexpectedly in season, if it wasn't for Annette, we would of had to of cancelled our holiday in North Devon. Annette's Kennels are like brand new, very clean and tidy, she has a large garden for the dogs to run about in and also has about 8 acres of land down the road for the dogs to play together in. Our dog had an amazing time and it was also an amazing price. If we ever holiday in Devon again, my dog will definitely be staying with Hairy Holidays even if its an hour or 2 out of our way. Many Thanks Annette.
Thank you Annette @ Hairy Dogs for the amazing holiday our 2 girls recently enjoyed. Lots of walks, lots of play and interaction with other dogs and lots of attention all within a home from home environment.
I went there to a nice person and they gave me a splendid massage
Thank you for the 5 star review Kevin - we really appreciate it!
I have known Kim since she was very small, and her loving caring nature makes her the perfect choice, I have complete trust and confidence in her ability to care for your furry friends. Wishing you all the best in your new business adventure 😍😍xxx
I gave my Bichon a doggy care day with Kim. He was very happy there. He had 2 walks and lots of love and cuddles. I have booked him in again next week.. Thanks Kim..
Cookie enjoys going! Great service!
Will only board dogs that have been spade or neutered. Very disappointed as told ot was a legal requirement. It is not required but is recommended.
Dogs are so happy. So many wagging tails x x x
