We recently had the pleasure of entrusting our beloved pets to the care of Luina and Rodrigo. We were so grateful when they looked after our cat Tilly. I sorted out a vet visit and they helped with a video call for us to discuss Tilly's condition with the veterinarian. The dedication they showed in administering medication and providing necessary care to Tilly demonstrated their commitment to the well-being of our pets. Cassie, our dog, reveled in the attention and affection showered upon her, making us confident that our pets were not only well cared for but also content and happy. Whenever we texted Luina and Rodrigo regularly updated us with photos and videos. These thoughtful updates provided us with peace of mind, allowing us to see firsthand the joy and comfort our pets experienced in their presence. With 4 cats and a dog, all with different needs and ailments it isn't always easy. For any future engagements with Luina and Rodrigo, I'll ensure they feel at ease to promptly address any questions or concerns, no matter how minor, as this will ensure a better pet-sitting experience. We would happily welcome them back into our home for future pet-sitting needs, confident that our pets will receive the same high-quality care we experienced during their stay.
Hamish and Katia were reliable, near and clean, and cared for our two older dogs perfectly. They followed all of our instructions and our apartment was clean and our dogs were happy and calm when we returned. Also, they took FANTASTIC photos of our dogs! Highly recommended!
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.

My dog (Molly) has been going to Lindum House for the occasional daycare as well as long stays. I love the fact that it's a home from home. Molly is excited when I drop her off, and exhausted when I pick her up. I know she just has the best time with Sam and her doggy pals! From the moment I reached out, Sam was incredibly responsive and took the time to answer all of my questions, easing any concerns I had about leaving my dog. Her communication is always so efficient, she sends updates and pictures that makes me feel completely at ease. My dog is treated like family, and I can tell that Sam and her whole family genuinely care about the well-being of the dogs. I highly recommend Lindum House to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional daycare or long stay.
My dog Gus had a 2 week stay with Sam! Great service, updates, photos, videos! He had a great time. Lindum House will be our go to when we can’t take the dog! Perfect and good value! Thank you Sam for looking after Gus so well. 😊 …
Wonderful Sam and her family have been looking after our beagle Wilson since March of this year. We had been looking for a home from home experience for Wilson for a while and came across Sam and Lindum House dog sitting via a friend’s recommendation. What a fantastic recommendation it was!! Wilson has been a regular at Sam’s with a recent week long stay and boy did he have fun, snuggles and lots of sniffy walks 🐶 Sam has also administered regular medication to Wilson and also took him to the vets when his claw became sore. Sam goes above and beyond to ensure your pup has a great experience, alongside sending ‘pup dates’ which we have been so glad to receive. Wilson adores going to Sam’s and is completely comfortable and at ease finding his special area to snooze. THANKYOU to Sam and her lovely family for being just amazing, Wilson looks forward to his next stay xx
Just getting slightly jealous that our cavapoo, Alfie, gets quite SO excited when he knows we are arriving at Lindum House!! He goes there for the morning twice a week whilst we have personal training, and has been very much at home since day one. He dotes on the fabulous Sam, and even Adam on a good day!! He also loves his besties Ginger & Alfred, plus meeting different new ‘mates’ on each play date. He gets a great walk with the gang too. First sleepover on Thursday. Cannot recommend LH highly enough.
Lola had a great week with Sam at Lindum House Dog Sitting. Excellent communication and great photos and videos sent during her stay. She’s come back home a tired but happy dog. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely home from home setting - my dogs have been going weekly for day care to settle in and one overnight stay before a couple of short stays while we’ve been away on long weekends. Sam is great with the dogs and they love staying
My beautiful beagle has just had the best week at Lindum House. A rather excitable rescue pup with a huge thirst for play, I was a bit nervous about leaving him to go on holiday as other dogs can find him a bit much! I should’t have been. Sam was brilliant- she listened to my concerns and made great suggestions about how things could be made easier for him (and other less enthusiastic dogs 🤣), kept me up to date and had obviously taken the time to really get to know him. He has been fed well, exercised a lot and most importantly, happy. I wholeheartedly recommend Sam and Lindum House Dog Sitting- thank you for making his stay such a great one and being so patient with him
My dog stayed for two weeks at Lindum House after a trial night sleepover to settle in and get to know everyone. Sam kept me updated with messages, photos and videos and it looked like he had the best time! He went on nice walks and was kept on the lead as I asked apart from in dog secure fields where he ran around with other dogs. He was given medication when needed and even had some much-needed training on the lead. Can’t recommend Lindum House enough!
Sam looked after our very elderly and deaf Labrador for 2 weeks. I was a bit concerned that our dog would be overwhelmed by the other canine visitors but Sam reassured me that she would take good care of her. I collected a happy and relaxed dog for which we are very grateful to Sam and her family.
Sam & her family welcome your fur babies into their home & they are treated like one of their own during their stay. Our boys always skip in & come home happy, making our time away from them worry free.
Hayley and her team have been amazing with our reactive Rottweiler Bella. They've really taken their time with her to help build some trust. They completely understood how stressed Bella gets meeting new people and dogs and have done everything to help her overcome her fears. It's still early days but we're taking Bella to day care at Dog Luv one day every month in the hope to build her confidence. So far she's doing really well and it's all thanks to the great team who truly luv dogs. Thanks all.
It was Buddy’s first time staying at a kennel. Hayley, Paul and their staff were amazing. We have come home to a very happy dog. Thank you😊 …
All of the staff we met were very friendly and more than happy to help with anything. You can really tell they enjoy their job. It's nice to be able to see photos on their Facebook page too, it definitely helped to put my mind at ease. (Pictures posted on their Facebook Page)
I can not recommend Dog Luv kennels highly enough. The owners and all of the staff are absolutely incredible, they are all so caring and they get to know the dogs and care for them as if they were their own. The kennels are always spotless and the facilities are fantastic with lots of space for the dogs to run around. You can rest assured that with Dog Luv, you are leaving your dog in a very safe, caring and happy environment, we would never take our dog anywhere else
Our dog is happy when dropped off there, and very lively when picked up, seems to tick all the boxes !!!
Unfortunately didn't like the service as the staff can't take a dog from the space where they sleep to area where they play without moaning. If your dog doesn't behave like a robot, they don't want it, honestly.
I picked up my chihuahua mix a couple hours ago, i had to leave her there for about 20 days. I cannot explain how happy i am with Hayley’s services. My dog came home clean, as well as her harness and beddings. She looked very comfortable and relaxed as we were picking her up which is really uncommon as my dog is quite snappy, anxious and aggressive towards strangers. Communication was amazing. While i was gone i received many pictures and videos of the dog, as well as frequent updates on how she is doing. Hayley doesn’t only tells you the things you’d like to hear, she is very honest and truthful, she’s also providing solutions to any occurring issues. Safe to say, i would a 100% recommend, they’re the best for a reason and i’d happily give a higher rating if i could. My dog is going to miss being around her.
We boarded our dog here for one day whilst on holiday. Our girl isn't very good around other dogs but as soon as the lady took control of her she settled immediately, even though there were other dogs around. I was very happy to leave her, her handler appeared very competent and Ruby looked really comfortable with her. Excellent care and service and great value (£12.50 for the day!) Highly recommended.
Great experience. Oscar’s first time in kennels, (at nine and a half), & we couldn’t help but worry. But there was no need. The people were lovely & Oscar came back happy. It was a real bonus seeing Oscar running around on Facebook while we were away. No hesitation in recommending.
Love using Dog luv kennels. I leave my dog in safe hands. The photos they take show her doesn't miss me when I'm away!
Can not recommend Jo and Nick enough! They have been amazing with my dog. My dog became very nervous after being attacked. He was refusing to go on walks. Jo and Nick have been amazing at getting his confidence back. They not only …
Genuinely excellent - Jo, Nick and the team are all experts and our rescue dogs love them. Rescues often have behavioural challenges, but our three have all really benefitted from the care and attention of the team at PUP. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Jo and Nick have been amazing supporting us with our fear reactive Romanian Rescue dog, the changes we've seen in our boy following their advice has been amazing. To have progressed to walking in the woods with a pack of dogs and strangers …
For nearly three years, Jo and her wonderful team have looked after my young black lab ‘Isla’ whilst I have been at work. This ranges from walks, play sessions with other dogs and many overnight dog sittings whilst I’m away. …
Jo and Nick have been brilliant with my excitable lab Poppy. Their support and guidance has resulted in walks being less stressful. The group walks they arrange have also helped me and Poppy to become more confident in different situations.
I really can't recommend Jo and Nick enough! We have a very highly reactive little rescue dog. Our dog literally just couldn't cope with seeing other dogs whilst out and about, to the point that for the past year we've totally avoided this …
We signed up to a reactive dog course with our terrier Pip… from the moment we arrived I was made to feel at ease and welcome. The session felt relaxed and personable and I was amazed but how much Pip improved just in one session - we can’t …
Jo and Nick have looked after our dogs in our home while we are away. Both dogs have Behavior issues and require patience and understanding, which Jo and Nick fully appreciate. Knowing Jo and Nick are at home with our dogs meant we could truly relax. We have already booked them for a couple of return visits!
Jo and Nick are literally heaven sent. After such an awful experience with another behaviourist, my partner and I were ready to give up. Luckily I was advised to speak with Jo before we did anything drastic. I was teetering on the edge of …
Having worked with Jo and Nick to help my reactive dog, they have been nothing but understanding, empathetic and highly professional in dealing with the situation. My dogs instantly took to them and within a very short time fully trusted …
