Barb was a great communicator and has a lovely warm personality. She took good care of our dog and our house! She exceeded my expectations. I recommend Barb without hesitation!
Hilary and Sarah were superb! They were communicative and patient throughout the organisation stage especially as it was touch and go for a few days if the sit would happen due to some Covid-related issues. They turned up in good time and although they do not have many sits published on this site, they obviously do have a lot of experience with animals and knew how to be introduced to our gang - even our little nervous boy! They kept me updated throughout which I really like (and need) and on our return it was apparent that the dogs had enjoyed every moment with Sarah and Hilary. I strongly recommend these sitters and hope that we will be able to work with them again. Fabulous!
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!
My 4 Dogs have been coming here for the past 2 years on multiple occasions and it’s fair to say that they love it every time. Our saluki greyhound especially as she has so much outdoor space to run around and play. The staff are very friendly and we receive updates throughout their stay which always puts our minds at ease. I would and do recommend these kennels to everyone.🙂
Always a pleasant welcome with a smile . My dog always goes to get a pat from the kennel staff on arrival and doesn't leave without one . Never had any issues or complaints . Always take my dogs own soft bedding for him and it makes great sense to have to take your own dog food as that means no stomach problems . Great place
My two rescue dogs have stayed at Inkersall quite a few times and are always in good condition and happy to go back. The kennels have paddocks which the dogs can run about in. The owner is great with dogs and and our dogs like her. When picking our dogs up they go back for cuddles with her ! At previous kennels my dogs were not interested in the staff at all. The kennels give you updates and are very accommodating.
Our 2 Spaniels stay for a couple of days and seemed fine there. Staff are cheery and helpful. They have a wall with many rosettes on which could indicate their love for dogs. We would be happy for our 2 girls to stay here again.
Our puppy Spud has been for his holiday and had a wonderful time. The staff are lovely and obviously care about the dogs in their care.
Love this place! So friendly and the boys never want to leave, particularly my Labrador who just loves the staff and the care and attention. I love the fact they ask you if you’re happy for your dogs to mix with other dogs in the play fields as long as you’re happy. It’s a big yes from me and the lads LOVE it.
My two whippets come to Inkersall several times a year, from 2 nights up to 2 weeks and I highly recommend it. Emily took over early 2020 and has made many changes and improvements since she took over. I like the fact the kennels are inside and the huge secure paddocks outside are ideal for burning off energy! Emily and her small team are all very experienced and knowledgeable and nothing is too much trouble - my boys have indoor coats/outdoor coats and are fussy eaters and all is catered for! Whippets are anxious by nature and one of mine has separation anxiety yet they always happily jump out the boot of the car when we pull up tails wagging. Thanks all 😊
Our dog stayed there before Christmas We were told they had beds in heated kennels. Our dog came back having lost so much weight, the kennels were freezing and the so called dog bed was like a solid pallet with a cloth thrown over not a proper dog bed. Would not recommend at all
I had my two cane corsos border over the Xmas period, I collected them today and to say I am devasted at their condition is an understatement. My 8 month old I can see her hip bones sticking out and her ribs she is skin and bone and she was a beautiful weight when we dropped them off. My older one is ribby as well I am utterly disgusted they was caked in mud and stank when I collected them I will never ever use this kennels again. They didn’t even know where or who’s my leads were. I had to tell them. And they charged me for today as well even though I picked them up early enough. I will be taking this further.
Nice quiet area. Nice chatty as staff. Our 🐈 cat's came back happy. Only thing that I would like to see next time would be heated mats in there rooms. But compaired to a few years ago come a long way. …
The best boarding kennels !🤩 I was very nervous putting my dog in kennels like everyone he’s my baby and I was worried about him being away from me however the foxholes team did amazing with him ! he loved every minute he was there & they treated him like one of their own I cannot thank Claire & the team more! Highly recommend to everyone !🩷
Great place to leave your dog. My dads dog isn't very good when Dad isn't there but the guys here have clearly looked after him properly. Will def use again
My 2 dogs Milo and chase go every year well looked after , lovely to no you can go away and not worry about them , great staff would definitely recommend already booked for next year , dogs look really well and happy thank you x
Buddy & Bailey our family pets, I seriously wouldn’t take them anywhere else. They are very precious to us & consequently we like to know they are being looked after & cuddled whilst we are away. The staff are very friendly & aim to put you at ease with all your worries, even sending you the odd photo for reassurance. Well done guys 😊
Absolutely a great kennel for my pets, staffs look after my 2 dogs are very good, nothing can complain. Will bring my dogs there again for my next trip.
My Bear is always so happy whenever she goes up! She recognises where she is at the bottom of the lane and starts going nuts in the car! She is always spoiled rotten and is always so happy when being dropped off and picked up! Claire, Steve, Hilda and all the team truly love what they do and it shines through without a doubt! They are all professional, loving, kind and respectful. I’m so happy with the care and love that Bear receives every time she goes and she always comes home happy and loved and doesn’t want to leave!
A lovely place, run by a lovely team. I would really recommend taking your cats and dogs here. Wilson and Ivan are always excited at going and we feel very comfortable knowing they’re loved. Thank so much xx
Our Akita has just been for her first visit to stay for 3 nights .She was well looked after & happy . Claire & her staff clearly love dogs. I would definitely use this kennels again
Just picked up Lola after her first holiday in kennels and I can highly recommend. Claire, Steve and all the staff look after the dogs like their own. Be warned though...your fur baby may not want to come home :) Lola will definitely be coming back for another holiday.
It's absolutely amazing that it really is home from home for Rocky he absolutely loves his stay!! 100% would recommend xx
Lottie absolutely loves going to Paws and Claws, we were really anxious when we first left her to go on holiday but no need she has so much fun and Laura and her family love her to bits, she even got a birthday cake! Would recommend to anyone 😀 …
Very happy with paws and claws bruno seemed to have had a good time plenty of walks and other dogs company. Thanks
Dog walking, doggy daycare and lots of doggy love
Rebeccas dog boarding is fantastic. They live in her lovely home and she treats them as though they are her own. She's passionate about dogs and she is my first port of call for my labrador Coco. Very professional, reliable and popular so you need to book early!
Couldn’t recommend more highly, our dogs were boarded whilst we moved house (the stay got extended which Rebecca kindly accommodated). My vision of kennels is a wooden hut down the garden. Here that couldn’t be further from the truth, my boys lived it up in a lovely cottage, were treated as part of the family and taken on amazing country walks, I am surprised they wanted to come back home!!
My girls poppy and Daisy went for a trial day and sleepover and they were so happy and at home. Rebecca makes this a complete home away from home and takes them for long walks and gives them lots of cuddles and sends lovely pictures of them and we call her our fairy dog mother !! Could not recommend enough. Such a great feeling to know your dogs are so happy. The girls can’t wait to come back. Thanks again Rebecca xxElle and Ali xx
Woody our Briard loves his time with Rebecca. Super friendly and takes good care of him. She's definitely our first port of call next time we need somewhere for Woody to stay.
Superb! Rebecca is wonderful with the dogs and mine is so excited to visit. Would highly recommend.
Outstanding doggy daycare and boarding in beautiful house with friendly professional staff.
“We Love Pets Mansfield” and specifically Mandy & Jason recently cared for our two 3 year old British Short Hair cats twice a day whilst we were away for two weeks. Although outdoor cats, they remained inside and at home for the two weeks. Both cats looked incredibly well, content and had clearly been properly looked after once we arrived back home. Feeding stations and litter tray areas were immaculately clean and we were sent photos and short video clips of Belle and Blu pretty much every day. We could not have had two nicer people attending the property; both clearly love all animals, were attentive and spent time on visits interacting, entertaining and playing with our pets. Highly recommended; we will be using “We Love Pets Mansfield” again in September. Thank you so much Mandy & Jason!
Mandy and Jason looked after our young cocker spaniel for 2 weeks. It was our first time away from him but we felt at complete ease knowing he was safe and being cared for. He had plenty of exercise and fun during his time there and we got updates with photos. He fell in love with them on first meet and you can just tell they are great people. I'm so grateful to them both for everything. I would highly recommend them.
If you ever need a pet sitting service then Jason and Mandy at We Love Pets are definitely the people to get in touch with. We have had them pet sit both our cat Rio and our Rattie Norris several times this year and it’s less stressful for both of them being able to stay in their home surroundings whilst we go away. They both love Jason and Mandy and our Cat Rio who is not a peopley cat will always call us a liar and fuss round them both when they call in. Its also a breath of fresh air to have a pet sitter that will also look after a rattie as alot dont but they look after all different pets not just cats and dogs. I wouldn't have anyone else look after our Cat and Rattie ♥️
Mandy has been amazing all round. Our beloved puppy Milo gets so excited for his walks with her. When working long shifts we get regular photo updates, showing us he's safe and well looked after and he always looks like he's having the best time. 😁 …
Mandy and Jason have done a fantastic job looking after our cats! We came back to two very content cats. Everything was made so easy and we were happy knowing they were in good hands. We loved the updates too! We will definitely be using them again!
Dex came for his first holiday stay & I felt comfortable leaving him with Mandy & Jason. I received photos of Dex looking happy which made me feel at ease. Any queries they had they asked. They were great being able to give him his daily medication. He came home with no signs of stress(weight loss & stress lick sores) like he has when stayed in kennels which tells me he felt happier. I'd definitely recommend and visit again.
We absolutely LOVE we love pets. Darren has been so helpful and kind since the beginning, and our dog goose absolutely adores him. We get photos from his walk each day which is so nice. And it’s so reassuring to know they’re first aid trained. Definitely would recommend to anyone and I wouldn’t go anywhere else!!
Used a dog boarding service for the first time and chose Mandy and Jason to look after Stan for a few days. Had a meet and greet before I went on holiday to get to know them, for Stan to meet them and discuss his feeding/walking routine. While I was away they sent pics every day which put me at ease. Happy to recommend their service and will use again in the future.
Absolutely amazing service from start to finish 5*****👌 These guys put our minds at ease leaving our little princess for her 2 days holiday while we got married, She was treated like a princess to the point we didn't think she wanted to come home,, Jason & Mandy are simply awsome, Baby Narlah won't be going anywhere else, Your amazing x🥰
Thank you so much for looking after our family dog, Keeva. You realy did take great care of her and go the extra mile, even buying chicken for her when I forgot to bring any when I dropped her off. I, 110%, totally recommend you and will definitely use your services again. Taking her for a dog walk, the week before you took her in your home, was so thorough. You put our mind at rest from beginning to end. Thank you so much. 👍❤🐕 xx
Excellent transport and assistance provided by Michael for my first ever dog! He drove from Sheffield to Canterbury, stopping off at two service stations so my dog could exercise and make some mess! The car used was very smart and comfortable.
I have had the most amazing trip to pick my puppy stray up from Zante and drive all the way back to Yorkshire. My driver/courier, Norman was fantastic. The whole process went smoothly, safely and was a trip of a lifetime. They organised every last detail to ensure the dog and myself were comfortable and well looked after. Highly recommend this fantastic company. Expensive but SO well worth it. Thank you.
I travelled with my dog from Sweden to Wales. They were very professional and organised and even remembered our names when we would call. No issues with booking etc. Were given plenty of information and contacted by the driver days before which was reassuring. He arrived in a branded van and clothes which reassured me (I am a young woman) and was very professional throughout. The van was clean and well equipped for transporting my dog and we took regular breaks around every 4 hours. Well worth the money and would definitely use c four paws again. Thanks/Diolch!
We had Milo collect from London on Sunday with two cages and a carry cage and lots of toys. Milo was perfectly happy and items were in good order. Collected on time and delivered on time. Excellent service and driver was very nice. Highly recommended for animal transport. Will definitely use again if the need arises. Good job thank you
Calagran Four Paws and my driver Will were absolutely amazing at handling our cross country transport for a long distance move. Having a rather large Staffy x Old Tyme, who had sadly had to be exempted due to her size, I was even terrified to take her on the road in anything other than proper transport. And with it being such a long way I wanted a safe long distance option also for all round safety and comfort. Our needs were catered for with the upmost care and Will was absolutely amazing with my nervousness and with my lovely girls nervy nature. I couldn't have been happier and I plan to travel with them again. I can highly recommend them.
I highly recommend this company. I just endured an incredibly stressful and long importation process into Europe and finally into the UK with my 3 med/large breed dogs. CFourPaws went above and beyond to help me logistically with things they really didn't have to and was outside of their services. Provided much needed emotional support and were empathetic to my unforeseen financial costs. Really without people like Keith and Greig, I may have crumbled under the stress of it all. BIg animal lovers, BIG hearts and can't fault them. Thanks CFourPaws x
I have been bringing my dogs here for a few years now. They are always happy to come back and I love that the kennels share photos with you of your pets. The drop-off was very useful
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. In a medical emergency you were the first kennels we found after literally 100's of phone calls with spare capacity to take Casper while his mum had an emergency operation to remove a brain tumour. The 10x photo's you sent us showing him happy & thoroughly enjoying a run in the secure field were a huge relief to his dad & a massive boost to his mum's immediate recovery.
We recently used C Four Paws to transport our dog Adi from Glasgow to Heathrow for her trip home to Canada. David was a very kind and professional driver and got us to the Kennel at Heathrow on time in spite of some unavoidable traffic delays along the way. We’re back home with Adeline safe and sound and are very grateful for having used the services of your company and David for the first leg of our trip.
An absolute lifesaver when it came to transporting me and my cats from Dublin to Somerset. There was fantastic communication the entire time during the booking process and our driver Clive was incredible! They made what was a very stressful move for me and my cats, a very easy time and I cannot thank Clive and the whole team enough.
Great care for my cat (and recently departed rabbit) during holiday periods, Louise even kept my plants alive during the summer! It’s great to have the comfort that your pets are happy in their own home while you’re away, as well as the reassurance that your house is being looked after. Fully recommend
Louise provides an excellent, efficient and highly dependable service, without which we would often be unable to go on holiday. Our cat (and stick insects) (and plants when needed) are very well looked after. I whole heartedly recommend the service provided by Southwell Pet Sitters.
Louise looked after our kitten when we went away so she could stay in her familiar environment. Louise was amazingly helpful, went above and beyond and made it all feel so easy. We would definitely recommend!
Louise is such a lovely, kind and reliable lady. She looks after my cats so we’ll. Family illness has meant I’ve sometimes had to rush off at short notice or stay away longer than planned. Nothing fazes Louise, she just steps into the breach. She’s watered plants, fed the fish and my garden hedgehogs as well as the cats! She is so caring, she knows I worry about them so she messages me and even sends me videos! Nothing is too much trouble. Thoroughly recommend this lady!
Louise is so very caring and kind. She is trustworthy and reliable and I'd be lost without her. Not only has Louise been there for my family and our puppy since day one, she also gives me such helpful advice as she is very knowledgeable on dog training.
An excellent,professional and friendly service which is reliable and appreciated. Lovely to be able to keep my cats in their environment rather than in a strange cage and run . Louise has looked after my cats a few times now as well as keeping an eye on the house , watering plants etc. I would recommend Louise without reservation.
Louise has looked after my (very precious ❤️) moggies for a few years. She does a great job, is very accommodating and most importantly, her excellent service means that the cats can stay in their own home. Thank you Louise - from me, S&J (& Mog RIP)
Used Louise for the first time to look after my cats for a few days and very pleased. Came back to happy cats. Very happy to recommend. And will definitely use Louise again in the future.
Louise looked after our two dogs when we went away on holiday we knew the dogs would prefer to stay in the comfort of their familiar surroundings. Louise did a fantastic job walking and feeding them both. We had reassuring texts during the week which put our minds at rest . We would highly recommend this excellent and professional service. louise responded quickly to our enquiry and came round to meet the dogs before we went away. We were very happy with the whole package and would highly recommend this company.
We have used Southwell Pet Sitters (SPS) for over a decade. Many of our pets have had complex medication required several times a day & we feel confident leaving Louise in charge of this and caring for our pets whilst we are away. SPS have also been able to help at short notice when something has come up last minute and also extend care/feeding of our pets when we were delayed by several days from retuning from abroad. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We picked up our boy Denver up today after a 5 night stay at PlatinumK9. On arrival we were greeted by Sarah who was very friendly and from then we knew we had left Denver in very capable hands. Denver is reactive and has some medical needs but this was no bother at all. He is also raw fed which was not a problem as they have freezers and refrigerators for this. When returning to collect him, we could see he was very happy. The team had given him a bath which was a lovely additional touch and he smells so nice. He is now home and having a nap and seems very content. The only negative for us was how muddy the lane and parking area was but we understand autumn/winter can be challenging! But this would not put us off using the kennels again! Thank you for taking care of Denver and see you again next time 🐾
I just wanted to thanks Leanne and the Team for all of their help & support with Caesar. His walking is immeasurably improved especially since the follow up a few months after the initial training. He has gone from pulling on the lead constantly to consistently being in the box and when on the few occasions he does pull a small amount, the tools provided in the handover whether that be the corrections or the advice on the different types of collars I can use (I’ve eventually settled on a French collar which has been a game changer). When I used to prepare his meals Caesar would be jumping and not able to contain himself and now he waits patiently on his bed for his food. In terms of his behaviour in the home, it was impossible to get the hoover or mop out and now I can go right up to him with the hoover !! Did we struggle for a while after the training with this yes, but the WhatsApp training was there for help & advice and eventually the muscle memory from his original training kicked in, I just kept putting him back on his bed and carrying in. Do we both make mistakes from time to time is there the odd thing we are working through yes but with the tools provided in training and the follow up support I know we can get there.
Our dog Cooper has been happily attending HCK for the last 2 years - every day as part of their day kennel facility. He is welcomed every morning by a member of the team - huge thanks and praise to both Chloe and Ellie. They greet our dog warmly and always willing to listen if we have any info to pass on. Cooper has some medical issues and Chloe and Ellie are well briefed on his condition. They even phone me at work if they have any concerns. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them. A big indicator for me is always how the dog behaves around people. Our dog clearly loves the staff and always happy to see them. Always willing to pose on Instagram too! A great professional business all round.
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the staff at Home Cottage Kennels. We just picked up Rocket the Beagle and we have never seen him so spruced up, happy and bubbly when collecting him from any other kennel ever. He was clearly very well looked after and the environment must have been truly outstanding. We would highly recommend Home Cottage Kennels to even the most apprehensive doggy parents out there. Thank you all. A+++
First time I have used this kennel and it’s now the only kennel I’ll use. Took two dogs of mine and they came back so happy (came back very nervous from other kennels) I had photos sent to me on request and a video and it was so nice to see them happy running around whilst I was away. They also had a bath whilst there. The kennel seemed extremely clean. Thank you so much.
I left my family of four spaniels with Adrian last week( they have never been in kennels before) and they were expertly cared for. All detail of their requirements and considerations were catered for and they were all extremely contented and happy when we went to collect them. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Adrian and Sharon and their staff to any of my dog owning friends.
My dog has stayed here every day while I'm at work for the last two years. Adrian lives and breathes dogs and has very good staff. They provide fantastic care, which is rated at the highest possible level. Murphy gets exercised and played with at least twice a day for 20 minutes each time. The cleanest kennels you will see and Murphy is always excited when he gets there.
Looked after our 2 boys excellently, kept us in touch with pictures and vids, bathed both of them before picked up and they were happy!! Thanku and will definitely recommend and use in future.
I used this kennel for the first time in October 2019. Would definitely recommend and certainly use again. My dog has a rather anxious nature, which made me nervous to put him in kennels, it was lovely to see him happy and calm when I collected him.
Lovely kennels run by people who love dogs , our dog harry always comes home happy and in a lovely clean condition, would highly recommend 10/10
Kelly was incredible with our boy, this was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and I was super anxious. However, Kelly knew this and made sure I had constant updates, photos and videos - it really made a huge difference to our holiday experience. It meant we could fully relax! Our boy had the best time, made himself well at home right from the start and ended up snuggling on Kelly’s lap, which goes to show the loving environment created there. Lots of big walks with new friends, he had his own little holiday! Cannot recommend enough for peace of mind with your fur baby!
Can't thank Kelly enough for her great service, she has taken on my crazy cockapoo pup, who is now getting the opportunity to meet other dogs in a safe environment, we both couldn't be happier❤️
We have used Kelly for about a year to feed and check on our 2 cats when we are away. I thoroughly recommend her! We get regular photos and updates while we are away and she always contacts us if there is anything she is worried about. She is so reliable and professional!
