I could write a small novel on how amazing Bekah is and the care she gave our pets and house. If you are fortunate to have Bekah accept your request to house/pet-sit, you are in the very best of hands. While we both live in the same city, I appreciated the zoom check-in and then in-person check-in we had to go through all the details and to meet the critters. All the pets clearly felt at ease with her and even our kitty who is initially fearful of anything new made a brave effort to lurk on the stairs and watch us as we walked through the house, which is a huge vote of "yes please" in my book! I also really appreciated that Bekah asked many questions - so I knew she studied my 10-page welcome packet closely :-) - and also checked out if it was okay to be away for a certain amount of time and if it was okay to have friends/family over for a visit. We have a 19-year old cat who is experiencing several old kitty issues, so I gave Bekah the extent of what could be possible and she didn't bat an eye, PLUS the previously-mentioned shy kitty became her little shadow the whole week she was here. Above the endless praise I have for how she handled all these practical items, what stands out the most for me is the immediate trust and ease I felt in her presence. I just knew that kindness, compassion, and integrity were values she was going to bring when she stayed at our house. Bekah was all of these things and so much more. She exemplifies those graceful and intangible ways of being in the world that radiate positivity, and she has set the bar VERY high for any and all pet/house sitters we may have in the future! Thank you Bekah!!
Daily communication, very accommodating to our schedule
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!
Saw Emma as was having trouble with my sprocker Rosie pulling and barking at other dogs occasionally when on lead. I felt my anxiety was making her worse. Ema was fantastic and identified straight away, a solution. Emma was reassuring and encouraging. She is fantastic at what she does and I would highly recommend. I am not more confident and can walk Rosie on the lead with no pulling, at heel. I am also more relaxed so she doesn’t pick up on my tension and then react. Thank you so so much.
Emma visited us for a one to one session with our 4 month old pup very recently. Emma was fantastic with both us and our puppy and assisted us with some great foundation training to build upon. I am looking to join Emma's larger training classes and will be booking another one to one session in the near future. Great communication and easy to follow guidance. Thanks Emma :)
Emma has been helping us train our unruly teenage Chihuahua. She is absolutely great with small dogs and very experienced with chi's . Great improvement after one session of directed training with her insights proving invaluable. Her observations helped greatly to train us to train our pup. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She has since helped us introduce another puppy to our spicy Chi.
Wonderful dog and rabbit sitter. For the 2nd year running, our dog had several amazing weeks with Emma. I never worry about him at all and he loves socialising and all his walks. Our rabbits were very well looked after as well. Thanks again Emma. Highly recommend
We had Emma visit the house to do a 121 session with our 8 week old cocker pup, Estrella. The info and advice she has given us has been so useful and has really helped Estrella settle in. Emma was very knowledgeable and patient, and we would highly recommend her. So much so that we have booked Estrella on to her 6 week puppy classes.
Review and Recommendation - Puppy Training Emma has been our cat sitter for more years than I can remember. She always gives amazing service, our three cats love her, especially our grumpy old outdoor boy. So there was no hesitation when we finally took the plunge and got a golden retriever puppy. Emma was one of the first people I told as I knew I wanted her expert help to train Charlie to be a very good dog. She was more than happy to help us in any way so we booked in some one to one sessions. Our first lesson was all about Charlie and our grandson (age 4). The puppy tended to jump at my grandson and he was quite nervous about it. Emma explained to my grandson what to do and within two minutes he had the pup sitting at his feet on command waiting for a treat! It was amazing to see, and my grandson's confidence is growing every time they are together. That first hurdle over we then concentrated on more commands, pup has now learned near Recall, Sit, Down, Paw, and best of all Wait. We are working hard on Drop. It's amazing how much the one to one sessions have helped all of us, and it's only been three sessions! Emma's calm way of teaching is great, and she is always very patient with us (sometimes it takes longer for the humans to get it than the dog - he's a smart cookie!) We're looking forward to starting puppy school and socialisation next week! Thanks again, Emma, you have been amazing!
I have previously given Emma a 5 star rating and I will be doing the same today. Emma has continued to walk and board our dog. She is friendly, reliable, great value and our dog adores her! Emma treats all the animals like they are her own.We have had to change around some days a couple of times and Emma has been very accommodating. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone.
We have left our dog with Emma at ES Petcare for holidays for a couple of years now. Emma is lovely and provides an excellent service. She responds quickly to enquires, has really helped us out at short notice and is always professional and timely. There is no doubt Emma really cares for the pets she looks after. My dog comes back happy and healthy and gets very excited whenever Emma comes to the door. Emma takes a detailed history of the pet's preferences, diet and exercise regime and gives detailed feedback. Emma keeps in touch posting comments and photos and which are always reassuring. I have no hesitation in recommending ES Pet Care.
I would highly recommend ES Pet care for boarding dogs. Emma has looked after our two Cockapoo’s during our holidays over the past seven years from when they were young pups. They are always happy to stay with her and Chester & Dylan come home in a very good condition. Emma always provides a very professional service allowing us to relax on our holidays knowing Chester & Dylan are being well looked after.
I have been taking our puppy Hudson to Emma’s 3 group training classes (beginners, intermediate & advance). Over the 18 weeks we have both learned so much and Hudson walks nicely on the lead and we have leant some coping techniques when he decides to have his tantrums! It’s been a great experience and would highly recommend Emma and her classes.
Staff didn't write a crucial detail down, that my dogs weren't sociable with any other animals. This resulted in both of them being returned with injuries, and slightly traumatised after being put in a pen close to other dogs. Further to this, the Daily Check sheet which we received on collecting our dogs was completely blank, which is concerning, as there is nothjng to prove one of our much loved pets received the daily medication they require. Needless to say, I won't be returning to these kennels. If I could put 0 stars, I would, and definitely don't recommend for your beloved pets
Lovely friendly staff and great value. Our hound Hunter loves his stay here , whilst we are away on holiday.
Puppy has been here for 2 stays 10 days and 5 days. Each time the staff have been great with him and he has appeared well cared for and happy on collection. Booking is straightforward, communication generally good, site security and staff attention to detail regarding collection is really good checking cars/people (if not the original booker/dropper) were very reassuring Wouldn't hesitate to recommend for your dog.
First time at any boarding kennel, our middle-aged Jack Russell clearly fell instantly in love with the delightful staff (faithless hound!) and came home well, happy and relaxed, having apparently settled in quickly. You were so helpful, kind and accommodating to us humans as well. We would definitely recommend this boarding kennel, and will bring him again if we ever need to leave him.
Lyn with her team looks after my 4 year old Cocker Spaniel very well. She goes in very happily, maybe her 5th time now and looks very happy and healthy when I pick her up, couldn’t ask for more 🙂 …
Just picked up my Collie from the kennels he always comes home fit and well he also had a grooming session whilst there a top job he's already booked in for later in the year. We would definitely recommend Old Orchard Farm and great staff who look after my Collie
The staff are so helpful and accommodating. My dogs looked fab when I collected them.
Vito has been coming here since 7 months old. She's now 5. As soon as we enter the lane, she knows she's going to see staff Lynn and Courtney. She absolutely adores going there. Highly recommend.
We just got back from holiday and we’re so happy to see how well looked after our dogs were. We were dreading to see them loosing weight and all, as from previous experience with a different kennel , but we were greeted with happy, clean and healthy looking fur babies. Highly recommended! We finally found the kennel that suits our expectations and that we can entrust our Fur babies with. With no hesitations or qualms, we shall be back again. Thank you Lyn, Courtney and the rest of the staff.
Fantastic place. Left the pooch there to attend a wedding and even though she has some separation anxiety and had never been away from home before, she was happy and relaxed the entire time. The staff were brilliant and pooch didn't want leave them. Would absolutely leave pooch here again!!
