Susanne and Manfred were with us for the second time and we were very happy about it. The two love animals and our 8 animals felt wonderfully comfortable with them. They went for long walks and bike rides with our dog and spoiled the cats on the sofa in the evenings. We can't imagine better pet sitters and we can recommend both of them unreservedly.
This was our first time using zeewoi and we picked a wonderful person! Traci arrived the night before we left for our trip and went over our instruction sheet so she understood our needs and expectations. She was pleasant and had a wonderful connection with our animals. She sent us daily texts with cute pictures of our pets. She left us with a great impression when we left for our trip and when we returned we felt the same. She left the house clean and tidy. Our pets were healthy and happy as we left them. We highly recommend Traci and hope we have the opportunity to have her in our home again. Thank you Traci!

Charlie did a phenomenal job with our two pet rabbits! I was going on vacation for two weeks and I did extensive research to find the best pet hotel for my babies. Charlie went above and beyond with them. She made sure there was always lots of play time and provided beautiful photos when I asked for updates. She also helped clip their names and groom them! It was also super reassuring knowing my bunnies had access to A/C during the London summer heat! Have already rebooked for some future vacations but I can’t think of anyone better to have look after my bunnies ❤️
I often leave my rabbit, Robin, with Charlie when I go away as I know he will be in safe hands! He's been coming to A Furry World, for a few years now and seems to enjoy himself on his little adventures. I love that Charlie sends picture updates of what he's up to, and provides that extra bit of reassurance as an experienced animal carer. I always know that Robin is being well looked after, and he gets the added benefit of playing in the garden sometimes, which must be a real treat as don't have access to one at home! Highly recommend :)
Charlie was absolutely brilliant. She looked after our Hamster Nibbles while we were on holiday and we had complete peace of mind that he was being very well cared for. She sent regular pictures to us and always responded quickly to any communication. Would 100% recommend her to look after your pets!
My Guinea pigs love it there! Since finding Charlie I would not leave my piggies anywhere else, they are extremely well looked after and always come home happy and relaxed. Charlie would send pictures and updates to let me know how the piggies were getting on which helped me relax and enjoy my time away. Highly recommend by me and piggies :)
Charlie looks after both of my bunnies when we go away, she takes excellent care of them. I actually think they don’t want to come home! Communication is great and we receive photos and videos of the bunnies whilst away which is lovely. Gives me peace of mind to leave them in safe hands.
Charlie at A Furry World is an absolute godsend! I have now used her pet sitting services for my bunny babies three times in the last year - most recently for 11 days whilst travelling. Charlie is professional, caring and a genuine pet lover. She keeps you updated with how your pet is doing through emails and photos and puts the wellbeing of your pet at the forefront - confidently escalating any health concerns where necessary. My bunnies love her and I would happily use her services again in the future.
Charlie looked after my two rabbits over the Christmas holidays and did a fantastic job (complete with update photos, one attached!) Very happy and will definitely use the service at A Furry World again, thank you
Charlie is amazing!!! Felt so calm and reassured the entire time our guinea pigs were with her. She really goes the extra mile to ensure they have the best stay possible. She even gave them a nail clip for us! Thank you Charlie!
Furry World provided our bunny a caring and loving environment for the duration of it's stay with them. The proprietor is friendly, communicative and clearly cares a lot about the little creatures. We received regular updates on the rabbit's exploits including photos, which gave further assurance the bunny was having a cracking holiday away us:) Highly recommended !
I used A Furry World for my rabbit for a 2 week stay for the first time recently. Charlie was very helpful and full of knowledge. From the first time I spoke to her I knew that leaving my pet eith her would be a very safe bet. I received regular updates on how he was throughout my holiday and Charlie was very flexible on drop off and pick up times. After picking my bun back up it was so obvious he had been treated with so much love. He was very relaxed, calm and happy and I knew he had had a great little trip away. I would absolutely use a Furry World again and would recommend it to anyone, especially anyone who is usually reluctant to leave their pet. I feel very confident that he was treated like Charlie's own and received as much love and care as I would give him myself. So grateful for their service!!
I highly recommend House My Pet to any professional looking to expand their pet service business. The platform not only offers a reliable way to reach clients but also fosters a community of pet owners who value quality care.
I have used dozens of dog sitting companies over the years and I've never come across a company quite like House My Pet. What makes House My Pet unique, is that they take the time to find the perfect person to look after your pet, so not only your pet feels at ease but you do too! My dogs have absolutely loved their experience with the sitters chosen so far and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anybody.
I have felt so uncomfortable about leaving my spaniel with just anyone that I’ve avoided going abroad for 3 years! This is a brilliant service and put me totally at ease! Highly recommend!
House My Pet was refreshingly easy to use and navigate with rapid responses - would definitely recommend and use again!
Wonderful service! Gives me a peace of mind finding credible and competent pet sitters!
Simply great, highly reccomend using this site to find a reputable pet sitter.
Tom, our trainer, was excellent. He was extremely generous with his time from the outset to really understand our dog’s personality and behaviours. It took a few days for our dog to settle being away from home in a new environment, and during this time Tom gave us multiple updates, and adapted his training plans to allow our dog to settle. We could tell Tom is a seasoned professional from his approach, and after a few days our dog was happy and content in Tom’s care. He has come back more settled, calm and obedient (which is what we were training for). We had professional trainers help us in the past from pup stages but this time it feels like very strong foundations have been set in Tom’s care, and Tom gave us great guidance on how to continue building from this. Thanks Tom and the team!
Our pup has been going to Fetch and Retrieve for a number of years now and we’ve had a great experience. Ivy LOVES her days at daycare and couldn’t be happier when the van pulls up. Always tired and relaxed when she gets home. The video updates we get each day are great, and the staff are super friendly. We would 100% recommend to dog owners.
The story of wonderful Yoko and an even better dog trainer, Tom. Yoko, after the rehabilitation programme, has been so obedient outside and inside both. The training did not change her personality, but it did give her the boundaries she so needed, with me and with others. Tom was brilliant throughout the whole way; he had documented almost every little move, and gave me a long message both in the morning and int he afternoon, outlining the day. Overall, the best decision I made for her, for myself and others. She was never aggressive, but she needed proper training, like any size dog does. Thank you Tom and Fetch & Retrieve! P.s. I don’t know how, but now Yoko doesn’t even mind baths that much!!
We sent Motley as puppy to doggy day care and he loved it from the first day. They paid attention to all his needs, making sure he was paired with the right dogs as he can be excitable. He can be a spooked dog and he has loved every single staff member. The Fetch and Retrieve staff are all lovely and very friendly and accommodating. He has grown so much in confidence since going and we were sad to leave as we moved away from their service.
I had spoken with a few dog training companies but Fetch and Retrieve outshined them all. The service and care received from start to finish was excellent. During my initial call with Jack, he took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve from training, and was very knowledgeable about German Shepherds. The attention received during this call showed that Fetch and Retrieve genuinely care about what they do and do not treat it like a standard business, when compared against other companies I spoke to. Dogs who do a residential board and train, stay in their trainers home, rather than being in a kennel. This to me is so key in developing a great bond between trainer and dog, which lead to amazing results being achieved. Jake was my dogs trainer for the 3 week board and train. He took such great care of my dog, and achieved amazing results in just 3 weeks. He provided me with daily photo/ video updates, explaining what they worked on each day and tips for me to implement once the 3 week stay was over. Jake is passionate, and so knowledgable about dog training, which showed in the end result that was achieved. Aside from the amazing results achieved, what really stood out for me was how well Jake looked after my dog. My dog loved being with him, and the strong bond they developed was great to see. Fetch and Retrieve are lucky to have such a talented dog trainer in Jake. I’d recommend Jake to anyone who wants their dog to achieve such good results. Thanks for everything, Jake.
I sent my 5 months old puppy Robin to train with Tom for 2 weeks whilst I was away on a business trip. This was the best decision I've ever made. Robin came back as Robin 2.0, the upgraded version. ;) Tom did a fantastic job on all the basic commands and even crate trained him. I received daily updates with videos to see how the training was going and for me to reference later when I continued the training at home. Tom did an amazing job keeping me informed and explained everything very well during pickup, as well as at the drop off. On return I also received training to ensure I was able to continue develop myself and Robin. Since then I have managed to crate train Robin at home and can now leave the house, knowing that Robin is safe and happy at home in his crate. A massive THANK YOU to Tom and Fetch and Retrieve for the amazing service!
It was our first boarding experience. Jack was very helpful and speedy in onboarding us. Kim took excellent care of our little one over the weekend, who is usually anxious around other dogs. It was really nice that she responded to Kim very well and had a lot of fun playing with other dogs in those three days.
Puppy Board & Train: Tom We recently used Fetch & Retrieve for a one week board and train service for our 4.5-month-old Sproodle, Bunker, and couldn't be happier with the experience. Our trainer, Tom, was absolutely incredible—professional, passionate, and clearly dedicated to his work. From the moment we met him, we felt reassured that Bunker was in safe hands. Leaving your dog with a stranger can be nerve-wracking, (unsure if it's harder to easier when they're so young!) but Tom put our minds at ease with a thorough handover at both the start and end of Bunker's stay. Throughout the program, he provided daily updates, sending us photos and messages each morning and evening. It was comforting to see how much Bunker enjoyed his time, the connection that Tom & him forged and it was fab to see him socialising with other dogs. Tom worked on Bunker's recall, crate training, and desensitisation in busy environments, there was a particular focus on being quiet & relaxed in public settings when we're eating and drinking. We're so happy with the results & the skills we've been given to work on this further. It's clear that Bunker adored Tom and thrived under his care. We would highly recommend Tom at F&R to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled trainer. We are so grateful for the care and expertise he brought to Bunker's training.
Excellent board and train experience with trainer Tom and the F&R team. Longer review / description below. My puppy was becoming increasingly anxious and fearful - terrified of leaving the apartment and barking/growling at new objects, sounds and people. I’d trained my previous dogs myself but soon realised professional help was needed ASAP. Thankfully, Jack/F&R was prompt in responding and reassuring as he listened to the distressing situation and recommended a tailored board and train with Tom. Objective of the board and train was to build her general confidence in the environment and desensitise/counter-condition her around triggers such as strangers, vehicles and common everyday environments. Tom was very attentive to the fact this was a fearful puppy and that it was important to go at her pace / gain her trust and coax her out of her shell before any training commenced proper (this was comforting as of course the last thing anyone wants is for their away from home four-legged family member to feel or become worse!). Unsurprisingly, it took 2 days before she would fully engage and I appreciated Tom’s timely and frank updates about progress each morning and evening. Once engaging with Tom, it was such a joy to see the steady improvement made each day. My puppy clearly enjoyed her time with Tom and he knew to mix pushing her in challenging / busy environments with relaxing days doing more indoor training. My puppy is now less reactive toward people (even curious or greets them in her own time), more keen to leave the apartment for a walk and less fearful of the environment. Ongoing work around triggers, confidence building and handling is still needed on my end but Tom provided a comprehensive handover and demonstration on the exercises to work on. Would highly recommend getting in touch with the F&R team if you are considering help with any training issues with your dog!
Our Puppy has just returned from a puppy board & train. We were hesitant to part with our precious baby but we had absolutely no need to worry. She was in great hands and her trainer Jake was a total legend! We received regular updates whilst we were away on holiday and our puppy came home behaving like a little angel! We are so pleased we chose fetch & retrieve. It was as worth every penny! 🤩
