Providing Pet Sitting in the Bournville, United Kingdom
Professional, non-smoking couple with flexibility to travel and work remotely.
Yet another five star sit from Gill and Rob. As always wonderful communication before and during the sit and knowing that Olive and Elsa would be totally looked after and cared for made for a very relaxing time. As before the house was totally spotless when we got back and we really hope they'll be available when we next go away. Couldn't recommend Gill and Rob more highly!

Andrea and Andy have sat for us on many occasions and their care for our cat and our home is exemplary. Two very special people who have become friends and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Offer: Pet cuddles. Need: Pets! Responsible, caring and pet-loving couple.
Jordan and Marta are simply the very best house sitters. They cared for Martha our cat and she was obviously smitten with them. They kept and left the house immaculate, even down to tidying our knife and fork drawer!! We would have them back tomorrow to look after us, let alone the cat!! Fantastic sitters.

CLEAN & CARING, THE PERFECT HOUSE SITTING PAIRING
Abbi and Martin were fantastic house and pet sitters . They are very experienced at house sitting and their confidence showed through . They were reliable, organised , good communicators both before the sit and during . It was helpful to meet them both in person just before we departed for a weeks’ holiday . They were both very warm towards us and more importantly our 2 dogs and we left without a moments hesitation about leaving them in our home with our boys . It was evident from the pictures we received and how the dogs were upon our return that they had been well looked after and had lots of fuss, snuggles and walks . The house was also immaculate. Would have no hesitation in recommending this fab couple . Thanks guys, we hope to be able to use you again !

We sit to combine our life time love of animals, travel and meeting new people
I didn’t actually meet Paul and Jan except via FaceTime. However, I needn’t have worried. They kept me fully informed about their arrival and departure - as well as some of the places they were able to visit during their week’s stay. I returned home to a beautifully clean house and a very contented cat. Communication was good and it’s great to know they would be happy to stay again. I was able to relax totally on my break with friends in Spain, confident both my home and my elderly cat were in safe hands. Thank you Paul and Jan!

Dog & Cat lover. Over 30x 5 star sits. Your pets loved, cuddled, walked like you
It was a last-minute arrangement which we really appreciated. Dogs were looked after well. We would be happy to recommend him to others to use.

Friendly Oxfordshire based retired couple looking for our next adventure.
A very positive first experience of zeewoi! Chris looked after Stan and the house beautifully, communicated well and left everything immaculate - even gifting us some apples and a bottle of wine.

Industrious & practical couple looking to provide peace of mind to owners
This was our first time with housesitters and Libby and Peter were amazing! They were reassuring before we left, came to meet us and the dogs and arrived at the house soon after we'd left. They sent photos and messages while we were away which put us at ease. The dogs loved them and were very well cared for. The house was exactly how we left it, the plants were well looked after and they had even washed the bedding and towels. Would definitely recommend Libby and Peter.

The three amigos - Ann Keith and Nelly
Ann & Keith are the perfect housesitters. Excellent communication before, during and after the sit. Coming back from holiday to a clean and tidy house and very relaxed dogs is just amazing. Thank you so much for looking after our dogs and house so well.
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
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 for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
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 Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Natalie couldn't help me on some dog boarding but took the time to txt me a huge list of other people to contact, all this on an early Sunday morning! Bless you Natalie.
We left our puppy Willow for her first long stay with Natalie and it couldn’t have gone any better. Natalie was so friendly, professional and had so much knowledge of dogs. We received lots of video and photo updates whilst we were on holiday which was so lovely and really put our minds at ease. Natalie took Willow on lots of fantastic walks and showered her with hugs and affection. I could tell Willow absolutely loved staying with Natalie and can’t wait to go back next time! I can’t thank Natalie enough for taking such good care of Willow, I would highly recommend her.
Natalie looked after our dog Mango whilst we went down to Cornwall to get married recently. She was so reassuring and sent us loads of lovely pictures and videos of Mango living his best life on his little holiday! Would highly recommend to anybody looking for a home from home setting for their dog when they go away 🥰 Mango will 100% be back in the future! 😀 Thank you Natalie 🐾
We've used Natalie a number of times both for home boarding and for dog walking. Natalie is amazing at caring for your dogs like they are her own. We have daily updates and videos sent to use whilst on holiday which is so reassuring to see. Our dogs have a great time when they stay, playing with Natalie's own dog Millie to the point where they don't want to come home and sulk when they do. We highly recommend Natalie to anyone who is considering using her services.
Natalie is an amazing dog sitter, and our pup always has a great time with her and her family. She's brilliant at always sending updates and keeping us informed, and our dog clearly loves being at hers! It means we don't have to worry at all about going away.
For the first time, we had to leave our 8 months old Labrador with a dog sitter and chose Natalie. We dropped him off at hers and picked him up in great shape and happy as ever four days later. Natalie sent us photos and videos throughout our pooch’s stay and kept us up to date about his behaviour and well-being, which we very much appreciated. Our Lab got lots of cuddles and playtime with other dogs, Natalie herself and her daughter. She also took him for lots of long walks to ensure that he was getting the exercise he needs (yes, he’s VERY active). Natalie followed the instructions we gave her very closely so that we never had to worry about our dog’s dietary requirements. In summary; very professional and highly recommended!
Natalie and her family are the best ! Every time we leave our dog Ziggy with Natalie we feel relaxed knowing that Ziggy is well looked after and loved. We always get video and picture updates which make us feel that our dog is not far away from us. From now on we are planning our holidays only if we know Natalie is available to look after Ziggy . Fantastic family and fantastic care for your dog! Xxx thank you x
Being a Veterinary Nurse, I am extremely protective over my fur babies, and was petrified of leaving them in kennels whilst we went away (my first holiday without my dogs in 7 years) Luckily I found Natalie who welcomed my babies with open arms and treated them as if they were her own. With daily video updates and messages of reassurance, I've never been so relaxed and confident leaving my dogs with someone whilst we went away. I can now actually look forward to my next holiday knowing that with Natalie they are in safe hands. Thanks again!
In a word Natalie is AMAZING!! We left our cocker spaniel Ronnie for two weeks and I honestly couldn’t have asked for more from a dog sitter. I had regular daily videos and pictures which really put my mind at rest as we had never left him for so long before. If I’m honest I did think Ronnie wouldn’t want to come home he was having such a great time. Thanks again, Ronnie already is looking forward to his next visit and to see his playmate Millie ❤️ If you are looking for a brilliant dog sitter then look no further! Xx
Natalie looks after and walks our puppy Rodney every weekday for us and we trust her 150% Rodney loves her, we think she is great and a really lovely person. We have also noticed a great improvement on Rodney's walking on the lead as Natalie enforces his training needs. I would recommend everyone to her who needs someone that they can trust and that really cares! Thank you Natalie you are brilliant! Xxx
Lilah recently looked after my 2 cats visiting twice a day for 8 days. Happy to say they were fine on my return. Lilah was very thoughtful and caring. I would highly recommend her services.
Pet Paws are brilliant, professional and so caring. Martin and Lilah have looked after my cats for years, they love them as much as I do. Great peace of mind when you're away knowing your pets are in safe hands. Cannot recommend enough.
Lovely, friendly service. Lilah goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is ok. I think her prices are very reasonable.
One happy owner and one happy cat. A fraction of the cost of a cattery. Lilah is a godsend. Don't know what we'd do without her as we go away a lot.
Wonderful dog sitting service. Would highly recommend. Thank you Pet Paws and Sheila who was really reassuring and professional.
We use Pet paws every time we go away, top quality service, and our cat loves them too! Would recommend to anyone in need of pet sitting.
Very good service and very reasonable.
Spacious free parking makes all the difference love it
Great place to take your bunnies!
Extortionate prices. Won't use again
I just have to share, I have never met a nicer groomer!! He is absolutely amazing, after going to a few groomers in my time and never thinking much of any of them, I found out about laki left my millie to grow for a while and took her here. I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to pick her up but I nearly cried with happiness!! She is AMAZING and i would of paid double the price to see her looking as good as she does. I cannot thank him enough for what he has done under the circumstances!!!! I will never ever go anywhere else!!! She smelt amazing and as for looks I am super super glad I have got a poodle. Every time I look at her I just think wow!!! X
Had our Miniature Schnauzer groomed by Lakhi and Katy for the first time today. She looks wonderful, so lovely, and totally relaxed . Very friendly and professional. Thank you Lakhi and Katy
A wonderful grooming service. I have a Norfolk Terrier puppy who loves going and doesn't really want to leave and come home again. He always looks and smells amazing. We are very pleased Barnaby is groomed here.
Lakhi was so helpful and supportive and tailored a course for my needs. He built my confidence up, and gave me a new get up and go, and my grooming business hasn't looked back. Great support and brilliant teacher.
Awesome groomers. Dropped off one post-lockdown dishevelled, slightly whiffy and nervous Sprocker for hand strip. Picked up one fragrant, shiny and beautifully groomed princess disappointed to be going home. Thanks Lakhi! So lucky to have you in the neighbourhood.
Brilliant groomer poodles is his speciality Lakhi is Brilliant with all breeds .
They are very professional very caring and give your dog a beautiful groom
Best groomers around would highly recommend 5*
Best place ever to take your dog to be groomed.
A star very helpful n brilliant with my dog
Our dog has now stayed with Lydia twice, once for daycare and once overnight. She is extremely thorough and we trust her to look after our dog and give him lots of attention and cuddles! She also takes amazing photos every time, so we enjoy seeing him having a great time with the other dogs. We would recommend Paws for Thought Solihull!
We have been using Paws for thoughts for last 1.5 years. Lydia has been fantastic with our lovely boy. Archie don’t like it anywhere else. Lydia looks after Archie like her own. We recently left Archie for a month and it was great. She posted pictures of Archie everyday and quick to response for our messages. Thank you :)
I have known Lydia for a number of years. I'm an experienced dog owner and have done courses in dog management and behaviour. Lydia is extremely professional and really cares about the dogs she looks after. I see her regularly in a number of different parks with a mixed group of dogs. Lydia goes out of her way to respond to the differing needs of each individual dog. I'm retired and don't need the services of a dog walker. However, if I did, Lydia would be my number one choice to take care of my dog.
Monty has had a lovely weeks stay with Lydia and her crew. Monty has his own little habits and traits and is not the easiest dog (maybe the largest) but he settled in to Lydias and loved the other dogs. Leaving your dog with someone new leaves you feeling nervous but the daily updates put our mind at rest so we could enjoy our holiday. I will certainly recommend Lydia to anyone looking a a home from home setting. Thank you so much he will be back soon 🙂
As dog owners we were very reluctant to put our dog into a kennel. Home boarding was the best solution for us and we started the process of finding someone to look after our new pup Barney early this year. We spoke to a number of people before we decided to use Lydia’s service. From day one she made it clear she would only accept a dog if it’s temperament was right and he got on well with not only her own dog but other dogs stopping with her, which was very reassuring to us. After a successful trial day followed by a trial overnight stay, Barney stopped with Lydia for a week. Barney came away bouncing and happy and it is clear he has been well looked after. Lydia was very thorough with every process especially at the beginning and we were pleased this was the case as it reassured us that she had the dogs interests at heart and that we were leaving Barney with someone we could trust. That attention to detail was a big reason for choosing Lydia. We also appreciated the daily photos on the Facebook page which again made us feel at ease during our holiday. Overall, we are extremely happy with how Barney has been cared for and would not hestitate in using Lydia again or recommending her to our friends and family. Thank you :)
Lydia has looked after my pup since he was 9 weeks old (he's nearly 4 years old now), and he absolutely loves her. He has such a wonderful time when out with her, and gets very excited when he hears her pull up! Couldn't trust her anymore if I tried. Would definitely, and do, recommend :)
Lydia has a wonderful way with dogs of all ages and my puppy has benefited so much from his weekly sessions with her. She is extremely thorough and takes every precaution regarding covid19. The dogs she looks after are well disciplined and have plenty of love, attention, exercise and play. I would recommend Paws for Thought and Lydia wholeheartedly.
I have used Paws for Thought to board my dog for many years. Lydia offers a very professional service and Ralph is well cared for during his stays there. He is always happy to go and is treated like one of the family. I have complete trust in Lydia and the service she provides.
Millie has boarded with Lydia for many years. Millie can’t wait to get out of the car when we arrive at Lydia’s and we so love seeing Lydia’s daily posts with pictures of Millie and all her boarding and walking friends. There is no one I would trust more to look after Millie than Lydia. She is the most caring dog lover and takes such pride in giving her absolutely best to all the dogs in her care.
Lydia has been looking after our French Bulldog for a few years now and has always provided a very professional, thoughtful and responsive service. We feel very well looked after by Lydia and would have no hesitation to recommend. And our dog loves her!!
Katie at Solihull Paws has been absolutely fantastic in walking my golden retriever, Ronnie, for the past six months. Her dedication and care are evident in how much Ronnie enjoys his walks with her. Katie's professionalism and genuine affection for animals make her a standout. Recently, during a last-minute emergency, Katie stepped in to look after Ronnie for two days. Her promptness and willingness to help in a time of need were incredibly reassuring. I wholeheartedly recommend Katie at Solihull Paws for her exceptional service and compassionate approach.
I have been using Solihull Paws for about 7 months. During this time I have been so impressed with the help they have given me and my golden retriever Ozzy. Katie will always work her magic with fitting us in and Ozzy goes bananas when Fern collects him. Dogs don't lie and Ozzy is always pleased to see her and confident in going with her, she has a clear love of dogs which is highly reciprocated! Anyone who is anxious about letting a stranger take their beloved pup out (as I was) Fern is a reassuring, caring and trustworthy dog walker and would highly recommend her.
I used solihull paws from sept 2023 until April 2024. Only required 8 lead walks per month. In that short time they failed to show up for my dogs on 7 occasions, with no real apology or explanation. A lot of my pre arranged walks were cancelled last min, due to 'emergencies'. Coincidentally these excuses mainly fell on weekends. 3 or 4 times i came home to toilet accidents in my home and sad dogs. My neighbour confirmed, on these occasions, 'the walker' didn't stay more than 10mins. I also came home on 2 occasions to my main back door being left wide open!!!!!! Katie the owner of solihull paws, was my only point of contact. For some reason you don't have direct contact with the actual person walking your dog? Problem here was, Katie was extremely poor at communication. She rarely responded to my messages. I was rarely given updates on my boys wellbeing. Other than Fern, my boys initial dog walker, i had no idea who was walking my dogs. I couldn't keep up with her staff turn around. Last straw for me, was Katie committing, 3 months in advance, to dogsitting while i was on holiday, then basically ignoring me and my messages leading up to my hol. This left me in stressful limbo, a week before my flight. Then last min Katie said 'I'll ring my friend in portsmouth, she'll do it" She was then ringing me straight back to confirm this' (a stranger stopping in my home, who's never met my boys before???!!!) Katie didn't ring me back as promised. Luckily a family member came to my rescue last min. Needless to say, about 1 month into using solihull paws, i was actively seeking/on waiting lists for more reliable, trust worthy, dog walkers. Other than the times Fern walked them (thank you) in the 9yrs of their existance, I'd never known them so sad/stressed when I've come home from work, As lovely as Katie seemed initially, I won't be recommending solihull paws to anyone and I'm skeptical of these others reviews to be honest
Katie has been walking my husky Akira for over a year now and has also taken on Ghost my husky puppy, I know they are always well looked after by Katie, they get so excited to go out with her and she's always someone I can trust with my dogs
Amazing service from Katie. Hugo always gets the best attention and walks. I would 100% recommend katie at solihull paws 🐾 and her team. …
Katie has been looking after our border collie for over 3 years now. She began by doing puppy visits as soon as we got him, she even cleared up the ‘puppy mess’ when she visited while we were at work! He is a nervous boy and is not good around adults but he has always adored Katie! She is our boys favourite person, loves her to bits and always has a fabulous time when he goes out with her. Would recommend Solihull Paws to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.
Katie is my go to when my kitties need a home visit. They’re always spoilt rotten and I get some lovely updates 🐾 😻 …
Katie has walked our dog since he was a puppy. He loves going out with her and we've always felt he is safe, well looked after and paired well with other dogs. Bonus is that he always comes home to sleep for hours. We've also used Katie for dog sitting and again have always been as happy as the dog!
From the moment I first contacted Katie, I felt confident that my boxer dog would be in the very best of hands. And I was not wrong! I cannot thank Katie enough for the love and care she has shown towards Rodney. She treats him like one of her own and it's evident as he's so happy and content every time he comes back from his walks. It's such a relief to know that I can trust Katie with his well-being, and through her regular updates, I am so grateful for the peace of mind that she provides. We've had dog walkers before and it's difficult to find someone that understands boxer dogs, but Katie knows exactly how to handle their crazy, stubborn but loving ways. Overall, I cannot recommend this dog walking and dog sitting services enough and I feel incredibly lucky to have found Katie to look after my boy, and I am confident that anyone who entrusts their dog's care to her will feel the same way.
Been using Katie and Solihull paws for a while to walk my French bulldog, can’t fault the service, he loves his walks with them, highly recommend them
My dog had a lovely bond with Graham. We have had to leave Birmingham for a period of time, but hopefully we'll be back and Graham is the first person I'd trust with Poppy. I've never seen him with more than four dogs (usually two or three) and it's only ever one big dog and some little ones. Your dog will be in safe, responsible hands with Graham.
I recently moved home and needed to find a new dog walker. Having used the same one for the last 3 years I was a bit worried but I've been so pleased with Graham. Friendly, professional and my dog Mitch absolutely adores him. As soon as the buzzer rings, Mitch is so excited for his walk and I'm relieved I've found someone trustworthy to look after him during the walks. Highly recommended 😁
It is Ethel, our 8 year old Springador, who should be writing this review. That said if her patient wait by the front door on a weekday lunchtime is anything to go by, it's a vital and enjoyable part of her daily routine; an opportunity to catch up with her canine pals and share the news as to what's been happening at home. For my part, the expert eye of Graham captures the relaxed goings among the dogs with his daily photo...how does he get them all to smile for (or at least look at) the iPhone at the same time? A huge thank you for Graham's calm, caring professionalism.
Graham is amazing. He takes wonderful care of my bunnies, even shops for them when I haven’t let enough food. He is responsive and flexible when I constantly change my plans, take spontaneous breaks or get my dates muddled. A real gem. My life without him would be holidayless!
We love Graham at Rainbow Paws! Graham visits Mario weekly, always on time and with a bright smile for our pooch. He's been very responsive to any behaviour concerns with our dog, suggesting the right groups for him and reporting back on any progress or set backs. He is always in touch and sends us photo updates even on short walks and gives thoughtful Christmas treats. Mario is over the moon when Graham is at the door!
Graham is brilliant! My golden retriever loves Graham, has the best time and comes back so tired from his walks with Graham. Couldn’t ask for anything more.
We're very precious when it comes to our two little princes Cas and Dave (guinea pigs) and princess Bea (Syrian hamster) and Graham does an amazing job coming in to feed and look after them. The boys are generally very shy around strangers but after just a few visits they're now happily accepting hand-fed veggies from Graham. We really appreciate the regular updates as we miss our babies terribly while we're away. Highly recommend Rainbow Paws to anyone with small pets!
As soon as we met Graham at Rainbow Paws, we knew he was the right dog walker for our sassy little diva. Our pooch came with a whole list of requirements (including an anxious dog mum...) but nothing was too much trouble for Graham - he fulfils everything with total professionalism. He is flexible, adaptable and highly communicative; we love receiving photos of her daily walks too! We trust him completely with our beautiful pooch and we know he loves her, just like we do. Along with the usual dog walking arrangements, our little fur ball appears to have picked up some fantastic obedience habits too - testament to Graham’s consistency and knowledge of positive doggy behaviour. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Rainbow Paws - an extension of our family and the reliable, professional, dog walker we needed, to be able to leave our pooch confidently, in safe hands.
We are really confident that Bertie is well cared for by Graham. We really enjoy the photos he posts every day so we can see that our dog is happy and enjoying his walk. Graham is really organised and has made the whole process of finding a dog walker stress free.
Graham was fantastic at looking after our many animals (2 rabbits, 2 gerbils and a cat) He was attentive to all their separate needs and sent us photos to reassure us all was well and everyone was happy. He was also extremely flexible and accommodating when we had some last minute changes. We will definitely use again - Ali
My dog is a cocker spaniel and is nearly 9 years old , we have never left her with anyone due to her being very nervous with strangers and other animals. However we had a family wedding and she needed a 2 day stay at the kennels. I was very anxious about leaving her , but I can say I would highly recommend Hylton Hound as she was absolutely fine and settled, they understood her anxiety to strangers other dogs and worked with her until she felt comfortable to build a bond. She had a lovely stay, she even went out on to the fields and let the staff cuddle and stroke her. I was very pleased with the love and care she received, whilst she was there .
Thank you so much my dog is Simba he was with Hilton Hound hotel these 11 days and let me tell you my dog is happy well full of life. They will take care of your dog giving all the love and care. Today I went to collect my dog in the beginning all he wanted was to stay there. I’m now so happy to be with my dog I notice that they cut his nails.I am a new dog owner so many things I am just learning each and every day. I would like to thank all the staff that took care of simba received simba with short notice I really appreaciate everything that you have done for Simba. May God bless you all and you found in us new customers forever. Thank you thank you so much. Regards, Liliana Lopes
Our dog comes here for Doggy Daycare. We had had a couple of really awful experiences on Rover.com before here 😟 Jasper loves coming here, and is always super tired when he gets home! …
Absolutely nothing to complain about my dog who I'd never left before stayed here for a week in June 2024 and I was so scared and nervous! But hylton hounds made it so easy. Pictures everyday and videos made me be able to enjoy my holiday knowing my boy was happy and safe will definitely be using these kennels again! My boy had a fantastic time here and the staff are so helpful and great with dogs! Charlie especially made me feel at ease. Hayley jeffries owner of stanley jeffries. Keep up the good work all of you. Your all amazing be proud of the work you do its great!
"Thank you for taking such great care of Bueno! This was the second time we dropped him off, and once again, he was well looked after by your fantastic, caring team. It’s so reassuring to know that when I'm on holiday, Bueno is in such capable and loving hands. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and go above and beyond to make sure he's comfortable. He's been coming here once a year since he was one, and it’s so heartwarming that your team remembers him every time. We truly appreciate all that you do—see you again soon!" Amaan & nazia
This morning I picked my dog winnie up from a 2 week stay I knew while she was there she wouldn't be her normal self for a few day or eat normal so I took her tins of sardines I knew she would eat them and I was write the young man I spoke to said 1st day or so she wouldn't eat as soon as the sardines came she wolfed them down the staff can't make your dog eat again 1st few days was quite but with lots of fuss she came out of her shell and was happy , yes when she came out she smelt a bit but that is expected nothing a quick shower didn't solve thankyou guys for looking after her we picked up a happy dog will definitely be back.
We have used hylton hounds for the past six years with no problems, till this year!! We left them for 16 days, we always take our own food so as not to disrupt the dogs digestives system swapping and changing. When we picked them up they had both lost weight a good 3kg each, their harnesses were hanging on them. Both dogs were ravenously hungry. We had a quick turnaround to another holiday (they were only home for 4 days) when we took them back they didn't want to go in. When I picked them up after 10 days my male has lost more weight, you can feel his back bone and ribs!! He is eating like he is starving, he has an ear infection and is subdued which isn't like him! We were also informed by text that we were being charged an extra £50 because he had destroyed 2 raised beds!! Surely they are insured against this sort of thing!! Bearing in mind what money we have saved them by using our own food! In 3 weeks we have paid them nearly £1200!! Well Hylton that is the last money you will be getting from us!! I wouldn't recommend you to anyone!! My dogs clearly haven't had the care they should have had!
Very friendly and caring staff - obviously devoted to the dogs. We’ve had our lab there since a puppy. I love the diary notes each visit and Instagram photos / videos of your dog.
Really disappointed with hylton, we have been using hylton for years and our pooch loved it there, last time we took her she was visibly shaking and actively trying to leave whereas normally she would be very excited to go there. We were also informed of a very serious incident involving our pooch from a previous stay but it was told to us in a very informal, jovial way, but hadn't been alerted about it. Before writing this we emailed hylton to try to deal with our concerns directly but wasn't even given the courtesy of a response. We are so upset about how poor the service was as we have used them so often.
I can't recommend Hylton Hound Hotel highly enough. Total confidence that our girl was looked after brilliantly, which made for a stress free holiday.
Absolutely excellent. If you treasure your pet then Nicole and Social Paws are ones for you. She treats them like they’re her pets too. My dog loves her and the happy walks (playtime with other dogs in different parks and in the hills). I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Nicole has always been a listening ear when I’ve needed some advice about my dogs. Highly recommend 🌟 …
Nicole is amazing with the dogs. We'd be lost without her!
Fantastic dog walker that truely loves the dogs.
Brilliant service all around and great value for money. I booked a cat sitting service for 4 visits over 3 days. My cat (see attached photo for cuteness) was fed on time each day and given treats and attention to ensure she wasn't lonely. I was sent multiple photos during each visit to put my mind at ease and so I could see she was being looked after. The sitter came to meet my cat beforehand to befriend her which was a great thing to do and when I came home she was happy and healthy and perfectly looked after. Her litter tray was clean and her dinner bowls had even been washed up. I have booked to use the cat sitting service again already and I will be using We Walk Woofs for all future cat sitting as I am so impressed with the quality of service I received.
Sharon has been walking our pup for 8 months now. She's been brilliant. Always very flexible as our timings and days change every week, and completely reliable. In addition, her communication with us is really good. Our pup loves going out with Sharon, and it's such a comfort to know she's in great hands!!
This was the first time I had ever used anyone to feed my cats. I cannot speak highly enough of Sharon and WeWalkWoofs. She sent daily pics and I could see how happy they were and getting a fuss. Took all worry away and I could enjoy my holiday. I totally recommend these lovely people and their professional, personal service.
Sharon and Dave were fantastic and very professional when we needed our dog, Oscar, to be looked after when we went away at short notice. Dave came and met Oscar and made a big fuss of him; Oscar responded really positively and willingly went out for a walk with Dave straightaway. While we were away Dave came to feed and walk Oscar several times a day and as an added bonus he also made sure our house was secure. The whole experience was really positive and we would not hesitate to use We Walk Woofs again; we would highly recommend them.
Booked Sharon in to care for our two cats, one a relatively new rescue cat, whilst we were away for a week. We couldn't be happier with the service. The twice daily updates and photos were wonderful and our cats clearly loved the care they got. Have already book in for our next two holidays. Can't recommend highly enough.
When I was searching for a dog walker, quite literally everybody I spoke to recommended Sharon and Dave from We Walk Woofs. I'm so happy with the service and I know Darcy is too. Sharon walks Darcy every day and sends pictures of their day's activities which brightens up my day. Sharon even pops the TV on for Darcy when she drops her home. Both Sharon and Dave are lovely, down to earth people and you can certainly trust them with your beloved dogs. Would highly recommend!
Amazing service from Sharon and Dave. I have 2 wonderful pooches but they just do not walk nicely together. On a normal day Dave walks one while I walk the other, he is really flexible. The boys are both devoted to him, he's like part of the family. I get regular photo updates and I can see they get to go on really fun walks with other doggies. It's clear to me they'd rather go for a walk with him than me! Fabulous to deal with.
Dave and Sharon took care of our cat at short notice when we went away over the Easter weekend. We received updates and photos every day so knew he was being well looked after. Excellent service, can thoroughly recommend.
This family run company are amazing. They came to feed our cats, discovered the loo was leaking, turned off the water, sorted the heating and cleared up the kitchen where the cats managed to turn on the tap! I got very reassuring pictures at each visit of the cats who loved Sharon (despite being scared of lots of people). This company look after your pets so kindly, look after you and look after your house. I’m very glad I found them. Very much above and beyond. Would highly recommend.
When I desperately needed help with walking my dog Barnaby, We Walk Woofs came to the rescue. Sharon and Dave are both wonderful and very committed to the dogs. Barnaby thoroughly enjoys his walks with Sharon and I enjoy a bit of peace whilst he is out. I would thoroughly recommend them as both professional and true animal lovers.
