Angela was such a wonderful dog sitter for us this Xmas. She kept us updated with lovely photos and we felt very reassured that Dalston was have a nice holiday with her. She showed him so much care and attention and we could tell they had really bonded. She is welcome back anytime (we just need to organise our next trip). She took great care of our house (cleaner than when we left- embarrassingly) and she even prepared us a meal for our return which was delightful after a long day travelling. In short, we couldn’t recommend Angela any more!
Munira and her 11-year-old son Mohammed are caring, kind and gentle people. They have the exact qualities that our shy cats Luna and Mimi needed to help them to start trusting strangers. During the ten days we were away they made great progress helping the cats to feel safe and cared for by people other than my partner and I. The cats started off hiding in the furnace room but within a few short days Luna was sleeping with Mohammed, who I think has the makings of a cat whisperer. He’s a creative, sensitive boy who loves origami and made several impressive toys for Luna and Mimi during his stay. He also surprised us with an origami treasure hunt on our return home. Munira is very thoughtful and an excellent communicator. She kept us updated almost daily with texts and photos, which was reassuring. The cats were relaxed and greeted us enthusiastically when we got home. Very different from the time we were away last year, when, on our return, they were still hiding in the basement. When we returned from our vacation the house was in good order and the indoor and outdoor plants had been watered as requested. But, most importantly, I knew that Munira and Mohammed had done everything possible to help our timid cats feel loved and supported in our absence. I would definitely have them housesit for us again and I highly recommend them. Thank you, Munira and Mohammed!
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!
Hayley has looked after our dog for 9 years, she has walked him daily, had daycare and for holidays with joy and love. She loves all the dogs so much and this shines from her. Our continued relationship demonstrates our trust in her care with our boy xx
Brilliant service! Our dog was so well cared for and happy. Hayley is great about pick up times as well. Very happy - used her several times now.
I contacted Kitty @perfect paws to find a companion for my 74 yr old mother. Kitty contacted my mom directly, discussed her needs and vetted her home before pairing her with a beautiful calm cocker spaniel called Phoebe. When we collected Kitty took time ensure they bonded and that my mom was aware that if she needed any support or to rehome Phoebe they would take her back at anytime. You can tell Kitty and her family do this for love and not money. The kennels and animals were so well kept and loved. Thank you, my mom and Pheobe have become besties.
We left our lab Hugo with Perfect Paws for our holiday last year and were really pleased. We wanted to use them again this year, but unfortunately it looks like impossible! We've been trying to contact them for a fortnight, but the phone just rings and rings without being answered, and they don't respond to messages through their website either. What a shame!
Picked up our dog and had been bitten by a dog or cut her self in the kennel and they said didn’t know anything about it when I went back up to them and said something must of stung her and she did it. But the vet said it’s either a bite wound or cut from something sharp. Tried to call the kennels but number unavailable. My dog is now on pain relief and antibiotics because it’s infected.
Our dogs came to stay for a week, we have not long returned home. All three dogs have been well cared for. It is evident that all three have had lots of attention. They are very relaxed and calm. We have been very impressed with the professional advise regarding our old English sheep dog and his sensitive tummy. Not only have they shared their experience, they genuinely care. We would 💯 recommend doggie day care or ba9rding and looking forward to taking our dogs here again. Thank you for taking care of our dogs whilst we were away, it was comforting knowing we could relax as they were in very good hands x
We are so happy to have had our German Shepherds stay at Perfect Paws. The accommodation, the care and attention given to our ‘Bears’ was exceptional and all the people there are so caring and knowledgeable we are definitely taking the ‘Bears’ for their next holiday there. Many thanks for looking after them so wonderfully and giving them a fantastic ‘make over’ they look so beautiful. Ten out of ten ⭐️. Best wishes and thanks to everyone.
Never experienced such a caring and high quality Kennels. The care they gave our ageing dog was unbelievable and we cannot thank them enough for looking after our old boy while we went on holiday. Thank you so much. We would highly recommend Perfect Paws
Purchased a puppy. All seemed well during the visit. However, after a visit to the vets to register her, we were informed that she was previously mistreated, had ear mites, and separation anxiety. When we tried to contact them, they said we don't answer messages (unlike how we contacted her to purchase in the first place) and that we were to call. So we tried to call them but they wouldn't answer our calls. The vets exact words were, they need reporting.
Absolutely brilliant dog boarding! We’ve used Perfect Paws a few times now. We have 3 dogs and Walter is now very old and needs special care. Nothing is too much trouble! The dogs always come out healthy, happy and clean! Thank you Jocelyn, Kitty and staff. We wouldn’t use anybody else!!!
We were worried about leaving our elderly dog for 10 days as due to COVID he hadn’t been in kennels for a long time. But I needn’t have worried as he came back really well and happy ( not anxious like previous visits to other kennels) I have utmost trust and confidence in the staff and they clearly love all the dogs in their care. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.
Our puppy Frankie spent a week here and what a perfect experience for us from start to end. The reassurance we got when booking Frankie in and throughout her stay was amazing. A very personal and professional place with lovely staff. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning Frankie here too. Thank you once again to the staff for taking care of our puppy 👏👏👏
Had 6 weeks with Jo, at puppy training. Jo was very helpful and taught not only my puppy but myself too. Lots to build on. So glad I went. Thank you Jo from Netty and me.
I definitely recommend for dog training, I have had individual sessions with Jo and my dog has definitely improved! She is very good with my dog and patient, he’s always happy to be there. I’ve learnt a lot of different training techniques too! 10/10 would recommend.
Would highly recommend Jo! The puppy training classes have been great fun and very informative. Our little pup has just started visiting doggy day care and he loves it. Jo is really passionate and friendly ☺️
I have attended Joanne’s classes & have individual sessions with her and can highly recommend her . She understands our challenges and is very good with my young nervous dog. ( and nervous owner!). Wouldn’t have got to where I am now with my boy if it wasn’t for her help & advice . Very highly recommended.
My puppy, Shea, goes to visit Jo 2-3 days a week at Hopping Mad Pet services and I couldn't be more pleased with this service. She gets picked up, looked after and dropped off. Shea comes back well and truly tired out and is always very excited to see Jo when she comes to pick her up. This service is professional, friendly, reliable and I honestly couldn't recommend it enough. The fee is very reasonable for the level of care that she provides. I have complete confidence that my pup is looked after, the facilities that are available to the dogs are amazing as there's paddling pools, sand pits and all sorts of toys, shelters and space for the dogs to explore. Other than day care, there's boarding and training is offered which is a fantastic additional service to offer, which I will certainly be taking up in the future.
I highly recommend Kirby Bellars Pet Services for dog training. I enrolled in a 4 week course with our rescue dog Ralphy after bumping in to Jo on a walk. Ralphy is my first dog and I just wanted to build my confidence with the basics ( recall, loose lead walking, leadership etc) Jo is informative, proffesional, friendly & most of all patient & happy to go at my pace. Ralphy gets it first time round! Jo even finds time after our class to email me with what we went through as I find it hard to remember everything we cover! Ralphy is a nervous dog but he instantly took to Jo & we will be signing up to another 4 classes when these finish. I am so grateful to have found her.
Big thank you to Jo for looking after our 4 chickens while we were away. The regular updates and photos really help knowing they are fine and happy. Highly recommend Hopping mad pet services. Would definitely use again.
I called Hopping Mad and spoke to Jo direct .. hopping Mad had been recommended to me by someone else... i have a Springer cross English White Setter.. he is a lovely boy but quite lively and likes a lot of walks and love ect.. I asked Jo if she would walk Louie for me & we initially met up and got on very well.. Jo came & walked Louie & took him for a night and day care.. im very happy with the amount of attention Louie had and picture Jo sent me of Louie.. most of all Louie loves her and thats what is the most imortant thing for me peace of mind i will be calling Jo very soon for her help. Thank you so much Jo 🐶🌺
Fantastic service!! My dog absolutely loves going to Hopping Mad Day Care, they are her favorite days of the week! Can't recommend this place any more! The best!
Jo is fantastic with my furbaby. He loves his walks with Jo. She is very trustworthy and extremely helpful. Thank you.
Sally and Martin have looked after all our dogs for over 20 years. The service they offer is second to none. A real home from home, all our dogs pull to go in. They care and treat the dogs just like their own... you couldn't wish for better care. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Sally n Martin have looked after our dog for a good few years now. He actually pulls like a train to go there. What better recommendation do we need.
We can't put our dog into normal boarding kennels he hates being locked up. Martin and Sally look after every dog like their own and Oakley, my dog, loves it there .
Excellent company. I wouldn't trust anyone else with our dog. They treat her like their own and she is always happy to go.
Always take my Greyhound here when im away, honestly best kennels for miles, the staff are always friendly and actually seem to have a personal approach to your dog. My dog always comes out pretty relaxed so i know he's enjoyed it here. Highly recommended for anyone in or around the melton area.
They are lovely people who own the Lodge. Our dog has been with them for 6 weeks, and he loves them, he's even put a little bit of weight on. He even has some new friends.
Nice staff. Friendly locals. Good beer. A proper pub.
Wonderful place for your dog's retreat whilst you're on holiday. I adopted my greyhound from here. Lovely, caring owners who love greyhounds! I always feel reassured knowing that my girl will be well cared for.
Knowledgeable, caring, flexible and friendly. Apparently the grub is delicious and all the staff can play footie better than I can. That's my dog's opinion. I'm always delighted to see him rush in, tail wagging. And, considering the level of service, it's very good value for money!
Absolutly love this place!! Rosie is a diamond and really knows her stuff! Dogs are so well looked after!!
My cat is always well looked after here. He has daily brushes and is fed his own food. He’s as happy as a cat can be in a cattery away from home. Friendly staff who are welcoming.
Gill, Terry and the team are fantastic and really know their stuff. Our dog is always pleased to see the team which is really reassuring when you are dropping them off. Would really recommend.
Adopted our gorgeous greyhound 5 weeks ago. Beautiful place ran by dedicated people who truly love the animals in their care. Have booked to board our boy when we are away in August safe in the knowledge he'll be happy x Rosie confidently answers any questions you may have and is super helpful x would highly recommend this place.
Visited the greyhound rescue part. Great to see how much attention and training they get and that they have a nice quiet relaxing environment. Staff were friendly. Didn't visit the lodging side but based on how the greyhounds are looked after I'd quite happily explore the other services they provide.
