Cristina and Nicholas were the perfect house and dog sitters. Douglas clearly loved his time with them and was very relaxed and contented when we returned. Cristina sent us daily reports and photos/videos and it was clear he was really enjoying himself. They coped admirably without a car at our remote house and got to know the beautiful surrounds and made the most of the abundant walks by the river and on the moor . The house was clean and tidy on our return . Cristina and Nicholas are a really interesting and friendly couple and we very much enjoyed meeting them and getting to know them . We have no hesitation in recommending them as house and pet sitters.
Chas & Susan are a delightful couple. They were flexible and accommodating with dates that needed to change regarding our 'mini' break. They were very conscientious and left our home in 'perfect' condition....you would not have known they had stayed! As Susan shared...they leave a very small footprint! We look forward, and so does Elsie, to welcoming Chas & Susan back in April when we are away skiing. Thank you both very much...!
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 Lab stayed for a week in June this year. Loved it and didn't want to come home LOL. Lovely people great surroundings and great care given. My Lab's back in November if she knew, she couldn't probably wait.
Thank you so much for looking after Merlin on his first visit with you. He's come home a very happy boy.
Refused to take my dog as I said sometimes he could be a bit nervous and he was a GSD.
Our boys can't wait to go through the door, the team are fantastic.
Excellent service
Dropped my two Yorkies (Billie and Maggie) off with Nick on the Friday. He was very accommodating, welcoming, and reassured us that they would be fine. We went to pick them up again on Sunday, and they were so happy, waggy tailed. He loved them and wanted to keep them lol. He enjoyed having them and said it was a pleasure to look after them. I recommend Hayfield 100% and wouldn't hesitate in Nick looking after our girls again :-)
My 2 dogs had never stayed at kennels before and my cocker spaniel was also very wary of strangers. Nick spent a lot of time before their stay making sure that both dogs were happy and comfortable being with new people and with being at Hayfields. The dogs had a great stay and I would definitely recommend Nick and his team. Our dogs will definitely be staying at Hayfields again.
Fantastic dog kennels, would even go as far to say it's better than some hotels we've stayed at! Nick was a pleasure to deal with, always available and answered our queries within a few minutes. Our big dogs have had a lovely stay and came back happy and nicely worn out which is no mean feat! They'll be staying here again in the future for sure.
These kennels are really great. We have two dogs and both are so well cared for when they stay at Hayfields. Looking for a great hotel for your best friend? Look no further.
Grace and Iris obviously enjoyed their stay at Hayfields! A home from home for them with plenty of attention and space. Nick and his small team obviously love dogs. Cannot recommend highly enough. Grace and Iris can't wait until we book another holiday so that they can enjoy their own staycation.
I cannot recommend Hayfields enough. Nick and his team and very friendly and caring towards my two pooches. My dogs are always excited to stay at Hayfields and that is saying something as my two never really like leaving my side. The first time I arrived to look around Nick focused on talking and interacting with my dogs more than myself. He said first meeting is always important as this effects the dog's reaction to their stay and the first impressions of people are as important to dogs as they are with people. It is refreshing to find a place that see's a dog's stay through the eyes of a dog :)
This is a fabulous place to leave your dog. Our black lab loves it here, he has a comfortable bed, loads of room and runs round the attached paddocks at full tilt. This isn't the cheapest option by any means, but the owner Nick is passionate about dogs and their well-being and this is reflected throughout the kennels. Recommended without reserve.
Nick and his team provide nothing short of the best facilities that a dog could ever want when on their holidays. They are well looked after and in more than capable hands when staying at Hayfields. What's more you can count on them coming back pampered and well loved. Thanks for the stays.
Extremely friendly and efficient. A very clean and safe place for dogs. It was the first time that we have left our puppy in the care of others. She obviously enjoyed her stay. Good value for money. Nick and his team are caring and professional. Would totally recommend this dog hotel.
These kennel's are superb- everything your dog could wish for when you are away. We have a Flatcoat Retriever and she knows and loves the owners who take really good care of her when left. The kennels are new, clean, modern, heated and every dog can have their own run. Just great! Colin
Fantastic place with lovely staff, who really get to know and care about the dogs. My dog goes two days a week and gets so excited when we tell her she’s going to “Doggy Day Care”, and it’s great for me knowing she’s enjoying herself while I’m at work. I have also used their holiday boarding service, which was also excellent. Both me and the dog were really happy she was staying with people she knows really well and that know her really well.
Our dog Colin the rescue now comes weekly, he loves it and I cant thank Derrick and Sophie enough. They are understanding and accepting that every dog is different. As any dog parent you want to make sure you are sending them off to a caring place, I can honestly I say 5* doesn't do it justice. I am very happy I found this place. x
Putting Chip into daycare was the best thing we ever did!! He loves his two play sessions a week! As soon as we say his going his up and ready to get in the car, I would not trust anybody else other than the team at daycare with my boy!! They are so caring and loving with him !! We have had a few months of ill health in the family and they have had him in for extra sessions at a drop of a hat which has given us great pieces of mind his receiving the best of care! I would and have recommended anybody that a dog to book there dog in even if you do not need care to cover working just as a play session for your dog!! Thank you for looking after our boy x
Our little. Dog is a member and can't wait to go . He is safe and well cared for, we would recommend to anyone for a safe happy day for dogs of all breeds.🐶🐶 …
Both of my golden retriever have been going to Doggies Friend since they were puppies.....they are now 5 and 3 and love going to daycare. I know they are safe and well cared for by all the staff and above all have fun and come home contented.
I have been bringing my anxious rescue dog Robbie here for a long time now and cannot fault the care he receives. I arrive with one very excited doggy and leave with one very tired one. I cannot recommend then enough.
Great for sociable dogs and good value. Lovely to know my dog is happy, stimulated, entertained and active while I am working. Really caring staff.
Our Lab loves going to Doggies Friend. Runs in with tail wagging. You really feel the staff get to know and care about your dog.
Digby has only been going to Christine and Derrick for a couple of months but he has really come out of his shell, he drags me in and can't wait to play... everyone is so lovely and they are all so well looked after and Diggy and would highly recommend... thank you all for taking such good care of my boy 🐾🐾❤ …
Great friendly staff. Ruffles tail is wagging as soon as we arrive. Secure, safe and happy environment. Great value.
Our dog appears to love it here. We were quite nervous about kennels at first but she now goes regularly. Much less stressful than finding a dog sitter and relying on 1 person. All the staff seem lovely as well
1st time using. When we arrived I asked to see where he was staying as was told this was fine (dog) but told that I couldn't even though I was told via email that they have a open door policy. Collected dog and he had dried dog poo all over back legs and in his bum. Think a little wipe wouldnt have gone a miss with some water and blue towel
Dogs well looked after and the staff were very kind to let me collect them early.
Denise and her team have looked after our cats and dogs for years and they are really wonderful. You can tell that they really care about the animals (my Cockapoo will often come home having been given a bath for example) and they are also very well organised.
We were visiting friends locally at short notice and our usual kennels at home was full. Happily BBKC had a place for our dog. We will certainly use again next time we visit without hesitation. The organisation is outstanding, the setting absolutely stunning, staff are wonderful and they care for your dog like their own. I always get anxious leaving him but I felt he was very safe and happy there. Thank you all - you are doing an amazing job! (Useful to note - cash is preferred! Also they have an impressive traffic light system for the single track road so you may have to wait a short while to enter)
This place came highly recommended by someone in work and I couldn't agree more. My boy was well and truly looked after and he seemed very happy when we picked him up. Other places he's been to I normally have to bath him and wash his stuff but he came back nice and clean. And he normally loose a lot of weight but he came back fine. Definitely be putting my boy here again.
Fantastic place. Our dog loves going there literally pulling one of the friendly girls in to kennels when we arrive.
I cannot sing this boarding facility praises enough! They are absolutely remarkable.They are simply angels. Some people are born to take care animals. They have gone above and beyond to make sure that my German Shepard Maximus was well taken care for a month and worked with me on any concerns I had with my pet. The owner Denise is just fabulous and outstanding. Her staff is equally amazing and so loving and kind. I would recommend this facility 1000x over! It is safe and clean and overall a beautiful boarding service. Thank you so much for all that you guys have done for my pet, we are beyond happy and ecstatic.
We will not be taking our dog there as we felt quite unwelcome and sensed that they did not want our dog to stay while we were away for the first time ever.
We have a 6 month old American bulldog cross that we were hoping to board here in October. I emailed and asked for the rates and availability, I was asked what breed he was and I replied american bulldog cross. I was told we don't board american bulldogs. I replied stating he was a cross breed. I understand that kennels have the right to say what they allow into their kennels but don't advertise all across your website that all breeds are accepted, as they aren't. Very misleading and they didn't bother to reply to my last email
Lin provided an amazing service for my dog Molly whilst on her Barking Mad holiday, from the initial registration to the collection and return. Molly had an amazing time with her host family, will definitely use again.
Penny loves her walks with Aisha (and Dexter). Aisha always keeps the walks new and exciting and sends wonderful reports and photos after each one. Highly recommended!
The service from Happy Tails is absolutely brilliant. I have used Aisha for over a year now and could not be happier. I am always sent updates of how my dogs walk went and both of my dogs love her. Highly recommend!
Happy Tails offer an exceptional service, tailor made to your requirements,. Aisha is very reliable and professional and we are extremely happy having her look after daily walks for our elderly Norwich terrier, who loves her daily visits.
We have used Happy Tails for home visits during holidays many times over several years. Aisha has always given outstanding friendly service and value for money, and we are able to relax knowing our pets are in great hands. We have no hesitation in recommending Happy Tails to potential customers.
'Aisha has been coming to walk my labrador twice a week for the past year. My lab, Hugo, looks forward to seeing Aisha and her dog Dexter every time. It is so obvious how much he likes her and enjoys his walks with her. Aisha promptly sends updates after each walk to let me know how things went. I am always assured that Hugo is being well-looked-after. I highly recommend Aisha!'
Aisha is a lovely person and I have full trust in her, she’s never let me down, is so natural with animals and my pets love her! Great communication, really professional and reliable, would definitely recommend to anyone!
Really reliable and fantastic with the dogs, feel very comfortable that they’re being well looked after and having great fun on their walks
Sophie is amazing with my Wish Springer Spaniel. My fur baby doesn't like being apart from me but she goes in with her ears up and tail wagging - and not just the first time! She is welcomed like one of the family and while we are away we get regular pup-dates on how she is. I would recommend without hesitation, we drive from Northampton because we are so happy with her service.
