It’s been lovely house sitting for Loren and Andrew and we miss Nimbus and Freya already! They were great in communicating with me from the get go and any questions were answered speedily. We met Loren and Andrew via video call before the sit and they were fab in going through and explaining everything we would need to know about the flat and the pups, which made settling in very easy. They also compiled a doc full of recommendations, things to do and see and info about the pups which was super handy to be able to refer to. The flat is beautiful and very comfortable too - there was everything you needed for your stay. The location was also amazing - right in the centre of Porto, with various supermarkets, restaurants, cafes etc right on your doorstep! If you wanted to go further afield, bus stops/ metro lines/ train stations were all very close. And now for Freya and Nimbus.. We couldn’t have asked for better companions for my first house sit abroad! They were really easy to look after and so sweet. We loved exploring the city with them (and be prepared to be stopped by people who want to pet them - Nimbus especially gets sooo much attention!). When we were back in the evening, Freya loved to cuddle during our Netflix binges and Nimbus will be sure to slump down close by. Overall I’ve had an incredible time staying at Loren and Andrew’s place - I’d definitely recommend this house sit for anyone. Porto alone is fantastic to visit but having Nimbus and Freya for company made it especially memorable. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat!

Julita came to our home to sit for our dog for four days as we didn't want to put him into kennels. He's not the easiest to look after, old, unwell at times, has medication and is picky over his food. Julita looked after him wonderfully, she kept in touch every day with updates on what he had eaten, the walks he'd had and sent many photos which were reassuring. When we returned, the house was just as we had left it, maybe even tidier! I cannot recommend and thank Julita enough. She is very caring, reliable, professional and trustworthy.
Julita was hands down the best petsitter we’ve ever had to date. She was on time every day, asked us questions which really put me at ease, as we’ve just had petsitters in the past that just assume doing something is fine. She showed genuine concern and care for each of our pets. We got updates every time she fed them including pictures. Her rate is personally I think very reasonable. He replies are fast and shes a very positive and nice person. We will absolutely be coming back when we next go away. I couldn’t recommend more!!
Julita has taken excellent care of our cat several times while we have been away. She kept in regular communication, giving us detailed updates on how our pet was doing, and sending lovely photos! We booked Julita for drop in visits, and some overnight stays when we went on a longer trip. We returned to a very happy and relaxed cat, who had obviously had a great time with Julita. I would highly recommend Julita as a reliable and experienced pet sitter!
Julita looked after my cat whist I was away. She was very professional and did exactly what was agreed during our meeting prior to my holiday. Julita communicated well and kept me informed with pictures and messages whilst visiting which was very reassuring. I will definitely use her again.
We booked Julita for a weekend as we didn't want to put our two large dogs into kennels. Julita came to visit ahead of the booking to get to know the dogs. We found Julita very passionate, reliable, trustworthy, personable and brilliant and with out two dogs. Over the weekend Julita kept us updated with photos and short messages. We had asked her not to take the dogs for walks due to their size and reactivity to other dogs and therefore Julita spent a lot of time just playing with them at home. She managed to tire them out! We returned to two happy and content dogs, a tidy house and the knowledge that we had left them in very capable and loving hands. We have already booked Julita for another weekend and would highly recommend her. Knowing our dogs are looked after while we are away gives peace of mind and makes for a relaxing break and the dogs can't wait either.
Our Nigel loves Bee’s Knees and Karina, we get sent lots of photos of all the fun he has and my mind is at ease when he's there, knowing it's a home from home and being taken care of whilst I'm at work. I can't recommend bee's Knees enough 🩵 Thank you 🙏 …
This Pet Care business is more than just a business. The owner, Karina, has a magic with dogs, she loves them and they know it. Our Brussels Griffon has been visiting weekly and also has stayed overnight. Her routine is noted and all is done to make her comfortable. She loves going and never looks back when we leave her. Karina sends us photos during her stay which can be reassuring when first you leave your pet. We are lucky to have such a service locally.
Every time Loki attends The Bees Knees pet care I can see has had an amazing day! He is exhausted from playing with new friends, from walking and paddling and even some behavioural training! Karina sends me gorgeous photos of his escapades throughout the day, which are so lovely to see. I feel fully confident that Loki is in a safe, fun and loving environment when I leave him. Would very much recommend ❤️
Our puppy loves going to Bee’s Knees. She adores Karina and is always delighted to see her. It’s a real home from home, all the dogs are showered with love and have the best time. We’re so pleased to have found such a wonderful place to look after our girl, couldn’t recommend enough.
Bertie is so happy being with Karina and cannot wait to get to hers. I call her his second Mum and the service she provides is amazing. I know he has a wonderful time as she updates me every time he is there with pictures and I know he is in safe hands. Her knowledge and skills along with her professionalism are incredible. XXX
I would fully recommend Karina and the professional and fun business she runs . My dog has been going to Karina for nearly a year and he absolutely loves his time with Karina. I only have to say her name and he goes mad with excitement. As well as the enjoyment my dog gets from going to Karina he loves all of the dog walks with the other dogs. Karina has helped me massively with his walking on the lead, recall and interaction with other dogs which were initially a problem for me. I would absolutely recommend Karina to anybody
This is a home from home for your fur babies. My Cockapoo is a lockdown pup and like Velcro but he absolutely loves going to The Bees Knees and adores Karina. He has lots of fun play time and lovely long walks with his new pals that are there when he goes and he doesn’t even look back at me when I leave him. Also if the need arose I would not hesitate to book him in to board because I know I would not have to worry about him.. There are also lots of lovely videos and photos of what a good time he is having.
The Bee’s Knees really is the bee’s knees or the dogs bits! We trust Karina and co implicitly and never worry about leaving our pup with her when we go away. We searched for a while for the right type of care for when we needed it for our pup and wanted to take the time to find exactly the right person. I can whole heartedly say we have found that with the Bee’s Knees and would highly recommend them! We know he gets the best care and most of all he really enjoys it. He always gets lots of exercise, socialisation, training and cuddles. We feel that he is looked after like their own dog. We get regular updates with photos during the day which is lovely as we can see how much fun he’s having! If you are looking for someone to look after your best furry pal, look no further!
Karina is very organised and clear, and absolutely amazing with the dogs. My dog went to stay for a week and clearly had the best time ever. Excellent to not have to worry about the dog at all when away! Thanks Karina!
Incredible care for our most precious pet dog - Rocco. Genuine care, affection, training and oodles of play with plenty of varied walks.
Norman's just can't be faulted in my opinion. They take such good care of the dogs and give them all the attention they need and even some training.
My puppy has been going to Normans since November and he absolutely loves it. He gets so excited when we arrive in the car park and he doesn’t look back at me for a second as he goes inside. He started attending the puppy club sessions which are brilliant as they do training with the puppies and film this which you have access to. The trainers are always happy to work on any areas that I raise and are very friendly. More recently we have had some behavioural help from TJ as my puppy and older dog were not getting on. TJ has worked miracles! She listens to you and at no point makes you feel silly or judged. She genuinely cares about helping us and the dogs and we have gone from having 2 dogs who wanted to fight and couldn’t be in the same room to 2 dogs who are comfortable around each other and happy. We will be forever grateful to TJ for her support with the boys. I would highly recommend her to anyone having issues with their dog and would recommend Normans to anyone looking for daycare!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot praise Norman's Dog Day Care enough! The team are incredibly warm and welcoming, and they genuinely care about each and every dog that walks through their doors. I had a fantastic session with Tamsin and my 14 week old whippet, Percy, and we both took absolutely loads away. We discussed what we needed to work on and Tamsin delivered a great session built around developing Percy’s recall and the improvements we saw in a short space of time was staggering! I fired off every possible question I could think of and Tamsin and her colleagues were great at offering simple to follow training tips and things to try to aid in my puppy training journey. I cannot wait to return for the next session; thanks Norman’s!! 🐶
Tamsin and her team of professional dog handlers are amazing. They train and walk the dogs daily, with plenty of activities and rest time as well. Normans have looking after my dogs for over 3 years now and I can honestly say that my dogs life has been enriched because of their dedication.
We use Normans for our puppies and they're wonderful with them we love the pictures and videos! Our puppies drag us in when we park up next to the day care TJ is wonderful with all the dogs here and has their best interests at heart.
My French bulldog puppy has absolutely loved Norman’s! When we first got her, she was afraid of larger dogs, and now she’s jumping and playing with Rottweilers 3x her size. She loves the centre and cannot wait to get in, the minute she sees Tamsin-Jane and her colleagues, she squeaks until she can get through the gate. The puppy classes have built Darcy’s confidence, and helped us immensely with her behaviour and ongoing training. Tamsin-Jane has also provided us with lots of helpful personal advice to us for Darcy (e.g., advice on supplements for her ongoing heat/false pregnancy and how to manage her during these, as well as offering support with eye drops and ear drops). With the puppy classes we also have access to a very useful Facebook page full of training of Darcy videos and other puppies, which has been a massive help. Along with this, regular updates and videos/pictures, it’s helped us set our mind at ease. We are lucky enough to have an office that lets us have Darcy with us, but we love sending her to Norman’s due to how happy the socialising makes her. Norman’s clearly love what they do, and all trainers and staff have been fab. They always recognise us and Darcy and make a big fuss. We also love the personalised touch, such as Christmas and halloween parties, where everyone at Norman’s gets involved. This is clearly a labour of love, and not just a crèche. Thanks so much! Cannot recommend them highly enough.
Normans is the best, we have recently moved away and are now realising how lucky we were to have it on our doorstep. Albs would run out the car spinning circles on arrival and you could clearly tell how much he adored it there. Always felt very safe leaving him there. Can you open a Bristol branch?!
Absolutely amazing. TJ and Rowan have done a fantastic job at getting our Ruby out of her serious tail chasing problem and helping to establish some training fundamentals for both us and the dog 😂💪 …
Our pooch has been going here just under a year and he still gets excited when we get to the front door. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The unit is always clean. Lots of activities for the dogs to do inside and out with addition enrichment activities carried out day to day. We cannot recommend Normans enough. TJ and the team are passionate people with great credentials to match this shows through the care and attention they provide the dogs. It's also great to see what they get up to via the Facebook page though out the day as well.
Been sending our dog since she was a pup and it's been absolutely fantastic for her. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and more than happy to help out with questions whenever asked
My dogs absolutely love Carey and the team. They always consider which groups of dogs to walk them in for group walks, and my puppy has come on leaps and bounds with her training walks. We did a training session with Carey too and she had so much advice for both on walks and inside the house. DON'T: expect your dog to come home clean! DO: expect them to sleep the day away after so much activity!
Do not use. I came home to a skeletal & dehydrated cat. My cat has subsequently been put to sleep. Broached it with the sitter & got told excuses & refused a refund. Shame on Carey for continuing to deny her responsibility in this. My vet is horrified. Don’t believe the rubbish Carey is saying. Avoid at all costs. My cats aren’t skinny. They’re all super healthy. No decent sitter would have failed to see the deterioration in my cat. See you in court Carey. I’ve then been threatened re my work when I requested a refund.
My partner and I are moving out of the area soon, but top two things we will miss about St Neots are: a) daily walks at Paxton Pits, and b) Carey and the team at St Neots Pet Care. Carey has been walking our pup since he was 5 months old and it's been one of the best decisions we've made since we brought him home. He has gone from a shy and clingy puppy to a sociable, friendly, and playful dog, running out the door when Karen arrives with her van. He has an absolutely fabulous time out with his friends on each walk and comes home exhausted and happy as can be. I cannot thank the team enough for the great care and love they have shown to Merlin. Carey is hugely reachable and very accommodating, adjusting to changes in schedule and quick to get in touch with any concerns or issues with behaviour or health. I love that, as a veterinary nurse, she can check any little problems we're worried about ASAP, and it is so easy to buy our dog any number of tasty natural treats through the business. She is a wonderful contribution to the community around St Neots. Thank you so much Carey, Karen, and everyone in the team!
Carey is absolutely wonderful taking care of Gracie, our cat whilst we are on holidays. Gracie has diabetes and needs twice daily insulin injections. It’s perfect for us that Carey comes to our house, feeds, plays and gives Gracie her insulin with lots of fun in the comfort of home. I honestly can’t thank Carey enough - with her support, kindness, medical expertise and friendship gives me total peace of mind. I would recommend Carey St Neots Pet Care Services without a second thought.
I contacted Carey in a bit of a panic as I was going away on holiday and my cat, Pippa, had started showing signs of a urine infection. I knew the existing care I had in place for her was not going to be adequate as she would need medication administered. Carey was brilliant, responded really quickly and came round that day to meet me and Pippa and she was so professional, warm and friendly that I had instant confidence in her. In short, she saved our holiday, Pippa is now back to full health, and I will definitely be asking her to come again in the future.
Highly recommend St Neots Pet Care Services. Carey takes our fur baby out a few times a week and I honestly cannot fault her. She has spent training sessions with him and has taught him to walk off lead (where appropriate). I've seen her out and about on group walks and the dogs are always well-behaved. I was a bit worried about the socialisation aspect with bigger dogs as mine is quite small but Carey made sure this was done at my dogs pace and now he sits at the door and waits for her in the mornings! I get photos during the walks and the routes they have taken too. Also a huge bonus that Carey is also a qualified vetinary nurse, makes me feel even more confident that my one is in good hands!
Carey has been taking our nuisance of a dog out twice a week for several months now. She is reliable, friendly and the dog cannot wait to jump in the van each time she arrives. Working from home it's been a godsend for us knowing that the dog will be taken for a really good run regardless of the weather, and gets returned to us rinsed and exhausted. We then get a whole afternoon of peace and quiet whilst he snores away! On top of that, Carey provides us with so much great advice and guidance and is a one-stop-shop for petcare, natural treats and dog walking.
We stumbled upon Carey whilst looking for a vet nurse to pet sit for us whilst we were away for a few days. One of our house rabbits had recently had a complex operation and we wanted a vet nurse to continue her post-operative nursing care and supplementary feeds for a few days whilst we were away. Carey is friendly, extremely competant and took on the challenge with ease. We also have two parrots, another bunny and a tortoise and she did a fantastic job looking after our menagerie whilst we were away despite the list of tasks being very long! Carey kept us updated during our break and we won't hesitate to call upon her services again. Thanks Carey! :)
I can not praise Carey and her team enough. The abundance of love my fur bestie ‘Cody’ receives is unconditional. My heart literally melts every time I see the love and kindness my fur boy Cody is greeted with, and treated as thou he was their own 💕 In addition to the wonderful walkies , Carey being a veterinarian nurse means I also get Cody’s nail clipped and even teeth cleaned! Saving me loads of money and time! Cody means the world to me and my family and now the St Neots Pet Care team . I absolutely trust the team and 100% know my Cody is taken well care of . I can’t thank the team enough for all their love, care and support for my fur bestie! A massive heartfelt thank you 🙏 St Neots Pet Care is reliable and trustworthy. I wouldn’t have Cody with anyone else.
We had Carey visit us for advice on behaviour and training for our puppy, she was absolutely brilliant and the advice has been so helpful. We are also regular customers for her natural chews which have really helped save our furniture from being the victim of a tired puppy! Cannot recommend her enough 😊 …
My Staffy Maisy loved her time with Hayley. I'd highly recommend Hayley to anyone wanting to know their pet will be well looked after while they are away. Hayley listened to all our specific requirements and was more than happy to cater for them all and I can't thank her enough, giving me peace of mind that Maisy would be safe and comfortable in someone else's home.
I contacted this lady who was most helpful. I had been away for 9 days and enquired about care for my two cats. She kindly arranged to visit my house ( I gave her the keys ) and feed my cats twice daily with some help from her sister who lives nearby. I live in a village some 7 miles away and everything went to plan. I could not have been happier. Thank you Hayley so much.
Cancelled last minute and refused to work with us just before the start of a week because I wasn’t well and needed more time. Felt seriously let down and my pup just got abandoned- not someone to count on and lack empathy. Wish I could give less than a start to be honest
Would have no hesitation in recommending Jess, using her services again. Jess looked after my Boarder Collie, Sky, for a long weekend, I was very lucky she was free as it was very short notice. Very friendly lady, took beautiful care of Sky, gave me updates and photos of Sky which gave me great trust in leaving her with Jess & Sky obviously had a lovely time away. I am not used to leaving Sky with people she doesn't know so was a bit nervous but as soon as I met Jess I knew I had no need to be. I will definately be super happy to leave Sky with Jess again. Fully recommend, trustworthy & caring.
Jess was great with our cocker spaniel, Otto. She took care of him for a long weekend and arranged to meet him a few days earlier for him to familiarise. Jess was very good at keeping us updated on messages, and we could tell that Otto had a great time as he was so friendly with her when she dropped him off. We'll board Otto with Jess again and we highly recommend her.
I would 100% recommend Jess. She looked after our old dog Lewis for 5 days and we got him back extremely happy and well cared for. We were kept updated with daily photos and videos of him on walks, as well as eating, sleeping and drinking water, which really put us at ease, as he is reluctant to do these things without us around. She even took him on outings with her to Sandringham and Hunstanton beach! Absolutely 5 star. ~ Adriaan and Eugenie Olivier
Really glad we found Jess - our Golden Retriever is already very fond of her. Jess is super warm and bubbly, her communication has been faultless and we’re happy knowing our dog is being looked after so well on his walks!
Jess has been great in looking after our Labrador Rosie. Always punctual and reliable, dog very happy and settled. Would thoroughly recommend
Jess is brilliant; flexible, personable, 100% reliable, fabulous communication and happy dog! So pleased to have such a great a dog care service so close to me.
Jess was very friendly, very helpful and gave Morgi individual attention and affection. We particularly appreciated the photo updates of him enjoying his walks. Thank you Jess!
Really accomodating at short notice due to injury stopping me from walking our two dogs and doubly so as one of our dogs is currently in heat. Also love all the photos of our dogs out on the walks.
Jessie is great and very reliable. My dog really enjoys her walks and it is great to have someone so local!
We have been using Petcare Pawfection for a number of months now and cannot fault it! They are incredibly professional and we are always confident our dog is going to have a good time. (He get extremely excited before going in - which is a great sign) They are very flexible and really accommodating! Lots of photos and updates throughout the day. Cannot recommend them more highly!
Jasmine and Jack are the kind of people who truly love dogs, and have the experience to communicate with them effectively beyond the one-size-fits-all stuff. My pup, Puff, has had his share of bad sitter experiences (through no fault of his own, or the sitters'---just extremely unfortunate set of circumstances), and I was worried he would have a hard time staying outside of my house. Petcare Pawfection folks were very understanding and patient, gave great advice, and eased Puffle in until he was comfortable staying with them. Now he can have a holiday too while I'm away, and it's such a relief to know he's loved and cared for, and is having a great time with his buddy Mila 🥰 He gets so excited when I'm dropping him off!!
Amazing house sitting experience with Petcare Pawfection. After our regular dog sitter fell ill, I was urgently looking for someone to watch Freddie, my stubborn Newfoundland dog with a big, dramatic personality. Jasmine responded incredibly quickly and professionally and got everything arranged for the house sit with a days notice. She was very considerate of Freddie's needs and provided me with regular updates and photos on how things were going. Looking forward to using their services again in the future!
My wife and I have used Jack and Jasmine's service recently when we needed to travel away for a week and were highly satisfied. As recent newcomers to Cambridge with a dog recently arrived with us from Mexico they were very flexible and took great care keeping us informed through daily photos of walks and reassuring us the dog was in good spirits. We will be using them again.
Jasmine was absolutely spectacular!! She made us feel so at ease with leaving our babies for a week. She sent photos and videos regularly which made us so happy, and really got to know their quirks and personalities. She is a true animal lover, fantastic pet sitter and our picky huskies are now very attached to her!!! She really goes above and beyond and treats your pet as if it’s her own! And that is EXACTLY who you want taking care of your babies! Cannot recommend her enough and will absolutely be using her in the future!
We had an absolutely brilliant experience with petcare pawfection. We chose the home sitting service to not overwhelm our dog with new environments: Jasmine responded quickly, was very open to our requests, and highly understanding and caring of our (energetic) puppy cavapoo. Lots of updates, pictures and videos were sent to reassure us during the two day dog sit to keep our mind at ease! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for dog sitters - we know we will definitely use this business again next time we need a hand with our puppy!
I dont like being without my dog, but I had to go away for work for a few days. He's had issues when being left with or walked by other people in the past, so I was concerned when leaving him with Jack and Jasmine at petcare pawfection. My concern was unfounded - he had a great time! He ate well, played hard, swam and got cuddles whenever he wanted. Needless to say he had a great time. How do i know all this? Because i got regular updates and photo's/videos. And when i felt the need for an additional update, a quick message and withing a couple of minutes I knew what the floofy little beast was up to. I will definitely heave him with them again if I have to - to say I'm happy with the service they provide would be an understatement.
Jasmine and Jack were fantastic, our nightmare puppy kept them up all night at their home and they were so lovely about it. They were professional and friendly at all times and we won't hesitate to use them again : )
Jack and Jasmine provide an excellent service for pet care. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their dogs looked after. They always keep me updated on how the dogs are getting on.
Jasmine and Jack are fantastic with our staffy Milo. They're flexible, trustworthy and really know their stuff. Milo is always happy to see them and I'm sure he'd recommend them too :)
