I absolutely loved my time with the two darlings Luna and Betti. They are so well-behaved and very friendly cats. The flat is located in a prime spot (super close to a near U-Bahn station which will get you into the city center asap & close to a big supermarket in case you need anything at all). Sabine was really helpful with everything. I enjoyed my stay immensely and can only recommend it! :) (Hope to see all three of you again! :) )
We had a good time looking after Tank & Rayo (dogs) & Pixie & Rosi (cats), we arrived the day before as Julie & Colin had an early departure. It was lovely to spend time with them & get a handover. During the sit we maintained great communication with each other, we also met their friends who were helpful & kind. The house is in a peaceful, remote setting surrounded by olive groves. Great view from the roof terrace. We did visit 2 nearest towns; Alomartes & illora, for supermarkets & bars! We didn't encounter any issues with the furry four, they were all on good behaviour, they all liked to know where you are & followed to be near us. All 4 loved treat time!! Tank: love him! What a character. If you don't know what time it is, Tank will let you know if it's breakfast, dinner, treat or walk time! He's great at sleeping & resting. Rayo: was good off lead on walks. Loves fuss & reassurance. Together Tank & Rayo are a cunning pair, don't think they won't get to something coz they will ... as Sarah found out at the expense of losing her biscuits! Pixie: easygoing, independent old boy, meows when wants food. Didn't mind a little stroke but loves snuggling with the dogs, particularly Tank. Rosi: lovely playful little girl, likes to sit with you. Helpful with sweeping & loves chasing the mop! All in all, great sit. Thank you Julie & Colin x
All the animals were so gentle and adorable! The dogs will follow you around like you are the most important person in the world :) They love snuggles by the fire and going for a run! Miranda was very welcoming and organised with everything! Would love to come back here again :)))
I had a lovely stay in Barbara and Alice's home and watched their adorable cats Whisper and Angel. They made me feel very welcome in their home and went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. They have a lovely home in a very convenient area of London which has great transport links and plenty of shops nearby. The cats are very sweet and fun to be around and love pets and attention. I recommend this housesit.
We loved our stay at Jackie and James‘ house. Ellie and Bella are very sweet cats- we loved getting to know them and having lots of cuddles on the couch. Ellie and Bella are each others yin and yang, not only in colour but in personality. We are going to miss Ellie’s chatty nature and Bella’s affinity for lap sitting whenever possible. Jackie and James have a beautiful home in Hove filled with many gorgeous plants. It has great connections to Brighton and is a walkable distance from the beach and supermarkets. They made us feel very welcome and maintained great communication throughout the sit. We couldn’t recommend housesitting for Jackie and James enough!
I had such a great time sitting for Lavender!! She is the sweetest little kitty — shy at first but warms up to you in no time. Watching after Lavender was easy going and Caroline was always easy to get ahold of in terms of communication. Great location right in the heart of downtown with many restaurants and bars in walking distance of the apartment, too! Would recommend this sit to anyone.

Excellent kennel and grooming set up. We have used them for many years and many dogs, we would recommend them to anyone. Our current working Cocker likes it so much that he jumps out of the truck and goes straight to the kennels without looking back.
Your dogs could be in better hands. We’ve used the kennels for the past 3 years and the dogs think it’s a home from home. Sally and the team take such good care of our dogs, I swear they are said when we come to pick them up. Can’t recommend them enough
I'm reviewing the Parlour. Our long haired German Shepherd was groomed here. I have to say they did a fantastic job. He was very matted underneath and his trousers were in dire need of dematting as he refuses to let us brush him thoroughly. He was picked up from our house and returned a few hours later like a new dog. Not a single matt in sight, extremely shiny coat and so much more comfortable. At our request he had a lovely trim all over including his paws and trousers which has made daily brushing much more manageable. Great price and awesome service. Thank you from Enzo
Very good place for dogs to stay, they were well looked after, staff are friendly and there's plenty of room inside and out. Many thanks to the team
Katy provides a consistently professional service. Listens, understands and transforms into an attractive, weather sensitive cut. Moses can be anxious a breed but is managed well with a calm, patient manner. 🐾 …
We came up to go to santa pod to find out no dogs on site. Called multiple places but Penhazy was only place with space. Very friendly and welcoming. My 10 week old rottweiler puppy seem to have great time and enjoyed her day hear
First visit at the groomers for my Cavachon today and I'm very happy with the result. We've been to a few different groomers and this one was the best for overall groom, I will return. Dog has come out looking teddy bear fluffy with lovely rounded feet and a cute face. Very clean and smart. Professional job from friendly staff. Dog was very happy with his treatment. I arrived a little early for collection and could see him wagging his tail through the window. Parlour cleanliness needs some attention but I would recommend. Good value for money.
A great stay for our retired greyhound. All our worries were put aside upon arrival. Sally wonderful with all dogs in her care. Definitely recommend and will use again when needed. Thank you Sally very much and all the staff Quirky loved her stay.
They cancelled our August booking, made at least 4 months prior to departure, 3 working days before we were due to fly to Canada for a 2 week holiday. "Circumstances beyond our control" was the only excuse offered. Could have cost us thousands of pounds. Call around 20 kennels and serval home boarders before I found alternative kenneling. Not impressed.
Glyka loves it at Penhazy! He gets to play with other dogs, always comes home happy and exhausted. Last time he stayed the weekend, we had them clip his nails which are difficult for us to do because of his long quicks. We were very pleased with the results.
I have used We Lobe Pets (Raunds) twice now and can not put into words what a fantastic job they truly love pets I would recommend this to anyone looking to place there pet into a home from home this is the place
Carl was fantastic from start to finish. He was prompt in responding to our request and offered us the chance to meet him and look around his home to acquaint our puppy Callie before booking. Carl was very reassuring about the whole process and as this was the first time we had left our puppy- we were so grateful to know how much experience Carl has. Callie stayed over night and absoultey loved her experience! Carl kept to our routine with Callie, walked her and fed her the same way we do which was amazing as Callie was still in routine when we picked her up the following evening. We received regular updates and pictures and I couldn’t recommend Carl and We Love Pets enough. A fantastic service, very professional and will be booking in again.
Carl and Denise took on the challenge of looking after our 2 cats, 2 rabbits and hamster whilst we were away for a week. They did a superb job! The animals were able to say at home with all their comforts and we got twice daily updates, photos and stories of how they were. We also got the added benefit of knowing our house was okay. The animals were so happy they didn't really seem bothered when we came back! Will definately be using this team again. Thank you
We Love Pets Wellingborough recently looked after my 3 pet rats whilst we went away for a few days. Carl was very thorough in getting to know their needs and daily routines and kept me posted with regular pictures and videos during my time away which help put me at ease. The rats were very happy and content when I came to pick them up and their cage was immaculate. Will definitely be using their services again and would highly recommend We Love Pets Wellingborough to all pet owners!
Super pleased with Carl and how he gets on with Dudley! It's great to have the peace of mind knowing he is happy during the day while I'm at work. Carl is very professional and took lots of care to learn about Dudley's needs and what he likes, which was really reassuring. You can tell that there's a passion for working with animals which is great! Very happy owner and very happy pooch, highly recommend!
Trusting your dog with a stranger can be a daunting experience however the caring (and professionally licensed!) service provided has given me back my lunchtimes! I can confidently book a holiday now knowing the task of finding a sitter for Lucy is done. Thank you Carl!
I needed somebody walk my dog during the day but wasn't sure who to trust. Carl put all my fears to rest and I am really comfortable with the professional and friendly service offered by We Love Pets Wellingborough. Highly recommended!
We have just started to use Carl having had a bad experience previously and cannot recommend him highly enough. He really bonded with my dog and I felt confident in his care.
Placed on behalf of Cooper. I would like to thank Carl for the wonderful walks he takes me on, hes so much better than my previous walker. Although i think i deserve more treats.
My 2 dogs stayed with a lady called Jackie in Higham Ferrers they were well looked after and happy. Whst more coikd you ask for
Henry was very professional and efficient. Rowan walked happily with him and he is clearly experienced with the care of all dogs. I felt totally confident that my dog would be well cared for and safe. Thank you Henry!
Thank you, Kat & Henry! I felt incredibly anxious leaving my bunny but the regular photo updates and fast communication put me at ease. Would definitely use this service again!
Fantastic and professional care! My dogs were walked in a time of need and I felt they were well exercised and looked after! Thank you! Xx
Our little lady stayed at Sunrise Boarding Kennels for the day. Rebecca (one of the Kennel Owners) was very helpful in responding to any queries we had beforehand. On arrival, we were greated by kennel staff who were friendly and helpful. The kennels are 'spotless' and well maintained. Our girl enjoyed her little walk in the afternoon and was happy when we came to collect her later that day. We will be using Sunrise again in the future. Thank you Amanda
Titan came in for a trail day to see how he will get on as he's never been in a kennel and is a nervous dog with people he loved every minute of it and coped really well 😀 he also loved the lady jess who walked and looked after him, Titan is looking forward to his stay in January I highly recommend leaving your beloved dog with sunrise for peace of mind, thank you again for looking after him 😊
We booked our cats in with Rebecca months ago and then one of our boys went missing so as you can imagine I was really worried about sending the other in alone having never stayed in a cattery. Rebecca and her team were absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. It was such a easy process and we received regular updates and photos. We then had a absolute nightmare with flights trying to get back to the UK due to a engine problem. In my jet lagged state I forgot the collection times and turned up in the kennels quite time. They were so lovely and helpful in letting us get our Fudge when they could have told us to come back. Even more he was so relaxed that it was like he didn't want to come home. He's been home a few hours and it's like he never left. No stress. Just one happy cat. I can't recommend Rebecca and her team enough and will definitely be using them again. Thanks a million.
I cannot recommend Sunshine Kennels highly enough. I was looking after a relatives dog due to illness and they made every step of the process easy and would go out of their way if I had any question. 10/10 Fantastic staff
Highly recommend, Rebecca and her team cared for my two dogs while I was away and I wouldn’t leave them anywhere else now, from the first viewing I had of the kennels I knew that they would be looked after and cared for. The whole process was so smooth, nothing was too much for the staff, they really made me feel at ease and I also enjoyed updates whilst I was away :) thank you all
Rebecca and sunrise took incredible care of my two cats. From the booking, to viewing the cattery, and making several changes to my booking - Rebecca was super helpful, supportive and accomdating. The cattery is in a lovely location, with great views for the cats - plenty of wildlife and flowers! The rooms are very spacious, temperature controlled and really clean. I knew the cats were in great hands and being well looked after. Thoroughly recommend
Just want to say thank you so much for looking after my mums dogs. All the staff are so polite and friendly, such a lovely boarding kennels as well I highly recommend you using this kennels.
We have been using the kennels for years, we trust them to look after our dogs, the care they get is of a high standard
Staff were very helpful and understanding to are dogs needs. As for the day care, you will have to ask the dog.
Place was looked ok but they'd lost my booking after getting confused with another dog with the same name. They still had space though so I left him. On picking up my, normally laid back, dog he seemed unusually desperate to get out. He has an activity tracker on his collar which showed he'd had no more than 35 mins exercise each day (almost all classed as "walking"). He is an energetic dog that can do that just walking around the house between walks.
My dogs absolutely love Carey and the team. They always consider which groups of dogs to walk them in for group walks, and my puppy has come on leaps and bounds with her training walks. We did a training session with Carey too and she had so much advice for both on walks and inside the house. DON'T: expect your dog to come home clean! DO: expect them to sleep the day away after so much activity!
Do not use. I came home to a skeletal & dehydrated cat. My cat has subsequently been put to sleep. Broached it with the sitter & got told excuses & refused a refund. Shame on Carey for continuing to deny her responsibility in this. My vet is horrified. Don’t believe the rubbish Carey is saying. Avoid at all costs. My cats aren’t skinny. They’re all super healthy. No decent sitter would have failed to see the deterioration in my cat. See you in court Carey. I’ve then been threatened re my work when I requested a refund.
My partner and I are moving out of the area soon, but top two things we will miss about St Neots are: a) daily walks at Paxton Pits, and b) Carey and the team at St Neots Pet Care. Carey has been walking our pup since he was 5 months old and it's been one of the best decisions we've made since we brought him home. He has gone from a shy and clingy puppy to a sociable, friendly, and playful dog, running out the door when Karen arrives with her van. He has an absolutely fabulous time out with his friends on each walk and comes home exhausted and happy as can be. I cannot thank the team enough for the great care and love they have shown to Merlin. Carey is hugely reachable and very accommodating, adjusting to changes in schedule and quick to get in touch with any concerns or issues with behaviour or health. I love that, as a veterinary nurse, she can check any little problems we're worried about ASAP, and it is so easy to buy our dog any number of tasty natural treats through the business. She is a wonderful contribution to the community around St Neots. Thank you so much Carey, Karen, and everyone in the team!
Carey is absolutely wonderful taking care of Gracie, our cat whilst we are on holidays. Gracie has diabetes and needs twice daily insulin injections. It’s perfect for us that Carey comes to our house, feeds, plays and gives Gracie her insulin with lots of fun in the comfort of home. I honestly can’t thank Carey enough - with her support, kindness, medical expertise and friendship gives me total peace of mind. I would recommend Carey St Neots Pet Care Services without a second thought.
I contacted Carey in a bit of a panic as I was going away on holiday and my cat, Pippa, had started showing signs of a urine infection. I knew the existing care I had in place for her was not going to be adequate as she would need medication administered. Carey was brilliant, responded really quickly and came round that day to meet me and Pippa and she was so professional, warm and friendly that I had instant confidence in her. In short, she saved our holiday, Pippa is now back to full health, and I will definitely be asking her to come again in the future.
Highly recommend St Neots Pet Care Services. Carey takes our fur baby out a few times a week and I honestly cannot fault her. She has spent training sessions with him and has taught him to walk off lead (where appropriate). I've seen her out and about on group walks and the dogs are always well-behaved. I was a bit worried about the socialisation aspect with bigger dogs as mine is quite small but Carey made sure this was done at my dogs pace and now he sits at the door and waits for her in the mornings! I get photos during the walks and the routes they have taken too. Also a huge bonus that Carey is also a qualified vetinary nurse, makes me feel even more confident that my one is in good hands!
We went away for 10 days and left our 2 cats in Carey’s very capable hands. She kept us updated regularly and sent photos/videos to show us they were okay. Our girls loved her visits, would highly recommend Carey to anyone!
Carey has been taking our nuisance of a dog out twice a week for several months now. She is reliable, friendly and the dog cannot wait to jump in the van each time she arrives. Working from home it's been a godsend for us knowing that the dog will be taken for a really good run regardless of the weather, and gets returned to us rinsed and exhausted. We then get a whole afternoon of peace and quiet whilst he snores away! On top of that, Carey provides us with so much great advice and guidance and is a one-stop-shop for petcare, natural treats and dog walking.
We stumbled upon Carey whilst looking for a vet nurse to pet sit for us whilst we were away for a few days. One of our house rabbits had recently had a complex operation and we wanted a vet nurse to continue her post-operative nursing care and supplementary feeds for a few days whilst we were away. Carey is friendly, extremely competant and took on the challenge with ease. We also have two parrots, another bunny and a tortoise and she did a fantastic job looking after our menagerie whilst we were away despite the list of tasks being very long! Carey kept us updated during our break and we won't hesitate to call upon her services again. Thanks Carey! :)
I can not praise Carey and her team enough. The abundance of love my fur bestie ‘Cody’ receives is unconditional. My heart literally melts every time I see the love and kindness my fur boy Cody is greeted with, and treated as thou he was their own 💕 In addition to the wonderful walkies , Carey being a veterinarian nurse means I also get Cody’s nail clipped and even teeth cleaned! Saving me loads of money and time! Cody means the world to me and my family and now the St Neots Pet Care team . I absolutely trust the team and 100% know my Cody is taken well care of . I can’t thank the team enough for all their love, care and support for my fur bestie! A massive heartfelt thank you 🙏 St Neots Pet Care is reliable and trustworthy. I wouldn’t have Cody with anyone else.
