Reliable & experienced. Feel assured that your home and pets are in safe hands!
I enjoyed clear and friendly communication with Astrid before the sit, and prompt messaging in the days running up to the sit, confirming the finer details. I came home to a spotless house and a lovely handover note with exactly the helpful information that I needed. My two cats were calm and relaxed, a sign that they have not been stressed while I've been away. I'm grateful for Astrid's care for the girls and for my home. Thank you Astrid!

Trust us with your pets, they’ll be safe, happy and looked after like our own.
We are so lucky to of had Harry and Susan come and sit for us. It is such a relief being able to go away and not worry. We received pictures while we were away and the dogs were having a fab time and receiving lots of attention. It was lovely coming home, walking through the door and giving a big sigh of relief at how clean our home was left. They respected both us and the dogs and we couldn’t fault anything from the sit. We would certainly welcome them back again!

Friendly, responsible and reliable
Gemma returned to care for our dogs - this is the 3rd time she’s been here and this time she came with her own lovely dog and her family. We already knew we were leaving our house and dogs in safe hands due to previous sits, and it worked just as well with another dog and her family. The dogs were instantly at ease with everyone, including Gemma’s dog and were clearly well looked after. The house was left spotless, including stripped beds, washed sheets and even a cleaner fridge than we’d left. Gemma is not only an absolute gem of a housesitter but has also become a friend who we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to other hosts.

Friend of animals & plants ❤
I knew I wanted Florence and her family to sit for us the moment we spoke! The dogs had a great time and did some long walks around Skipton and had plenty of cuddles on the sofa. We were sent photos which is always lovely to see. Liaising with Florence was easy and straightforward from start to finish. Sadly we didn’t get to meet due to timings but I trusted her enough to leave a key and instructions and we were on hand via WhatsApp. I would happily have Florence and her family sit for us again.

Valerie and Brian are a lovely couple who came to look after our home and pets in a cold wet January. They were calm and friendly and the animals got on very well with them as soon as they met them. The house was left in a very clean and tidy state and Brian even fixed a dripping tap ! The plants had been watered and everyone seemed happy. Our oldest dog had a funny turn and Brian took her to the vets , contacted us and kept us fully informed about her recovery. We would be very happy for them to come again. Excellent house sitters.

11 x 5 star reviews! The perfect team to take care of your pets and property.
Gillian has been to sit for us before and it was really wonderful to see her again ! She looked after 2 of our dogs and they loved seeing her, especially Nelly who remembered her as soon as she arrived . Pi our other dog is still quite young and so it was a relief to have someone who knows young dogs and to be so kind and patient with him , even keeping up his heel work which was very helpful as we were away for quite a while. Gillian is so brilliant with communication and when there were any problems she was fantastic at keeping us updated and sorting everything out. I was really glad she was there and most grateful. We really hope she will come again Nelly and Pi would be thrilled to see her and so would we.

Jayne - Self employed Software Engineer and introvert
This is our 2nd time having a petsitter and we chose Jayne again after a successful first sit. She’s very reliable and really bonds with our cats. They clearly remembered her and felt completely at ease. Jayne was also very communicative about issues arising with our house.

Responsible retired couple who love animals and travel.
Pam and Mick looked after Star really well. They kept in touch with me while I was away. Sent photographs to reassure me Star as doing great. When I came back the house had been cleaned and bed linen/towels changed. Thank you Pam and Mick. Thanks for the lovely presents you left me. I’m hoping you will come back and look after Star again. Much love Debbie

Chatted to Catherine on the phone prior to the visit and when she turned up to sit it felt like I was greeting an old friend. Catherine and her son, Barry turned up and the dogs were right over to them so I knew things were going to go well! I had lots of updates and photos, which I love receiving from Catherine. When I returned home I was greeted with three content and throughly spoilt pooches and a lovely tidy home. Catherine & Barry welcome here anytime!

Friend to all Animals.
Penny sat for us for 2 weeks looking after our collie. I couldn’t really be happier with the way it went. She did exactly what she said she’d do and was flexible enough to work around our plans. She left the house immaculately clean and tidy with some cut flowers from the garden to welcome us home. I hope she’ll sit for us again. Thanks penny!
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
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.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!
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.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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!
Where would we be without Shona. Luna stayed with her last year and adored it... Shona then picked luna up from our wedding recently and once again went above and beyond. We will forever be grateful and will always use Shona for dog sitting if we are ever away or ever in need of someone. Shona - you are a diamond
Shona...how can we thank you! We couldn't have picked a better person to drive our two beloved Pugs from Aberden to London Heathrow for their big journey back to our home in Doha, Qatar. Shona was very organised, timely, personable and kept me updated and at ease during their entire journey. She sent me lovely vidoes and photos. I never worried when they were in her care as I knew at heart she is a true animal lover and could tell she genuinely cared for our dogs. She liased well with our export company at LHR which took pressure and stress away from me. It has meant alot to us to have our dogs (one elderly) treated so well on such an arduous journey. Thank you Shona!
Our dog stayed with Shona for 18 days this summer and it was nice to see her looking healthy and calm on collection. We left our dog with Shona before for various periods of time. The drop off and pick up times are always suitable for us and our travel plans, which is very helpful. Thank you very much for taking a good care of Lola!
I have used kennel in the past and my dog never came out of it looking happy. This has definitely changed since I found Shona - he is happy to leave me and always comes back home cheerful and in a great shape. Shona is great with dogs, she takes them for a long river/forest walks and let them play in her garden once they are home. I recommend this service from the bottom of my hearth to all dog owners
Wouldn't find a better place or a better person to take care of my pet. Shona is just perfect with dogs! She's so friendly and calm, they immediately respond and trust her guidance. It's the most reliable service one can hope for.
I am so happy that we found Shona to take care of our 11years dog Toto during vacation time. She is a very kind person, has a good understanding of dogs and their habits, regularly sharing photos and videos, so you feel connected with your pet even you are miles away. It feels like our dog had a great vacation too, he is happy and healthy after being one month without us :) Highly recommended Shona if you need professional whom you can trust!!!
My Pug chase loves to visit with Shona. We board with her throughout the year and chase is always happy and content when we pick him up. He really enjoys the walks with the other dogs, we know because Shona always sends us video clips of their adventures. Highly recommend her.
We are very grateful for the service Shona provides for our dog, Cookie for the past 18 months. Shona takes Cookie for a regular walks and also home boarding when we are away. Cookie has develped a special bond with Shona. We are very happy and thankful for the service she provides us.
Genuinely a five star service: We are absolutely thrilled with the service we receive from Shona at Aberdeen Pet Services, from the very first visit, I had a really good sense of how calming she would be for our highly strung but loving cavapoo. Before we met Shona I was extremely concerned about leaving Hamish with anyone, he is a nervous dog and enjoys being part of a family and being cuddled, we couldn’t even consider kennels for him and by luck we found the perfect solution. Reliable, friendly and extremely flexible, we wouldn’t consider anyone else. Hamish always comes home, happy and healthy, well exercised and well fed, what more could a dog need 😊
We moved our 4 dogs & 3 cats from Scotland to Morocco, Shona was a huge help In helping with both transportation & going through the customs in 3 countries, but as an animal lover also she cares. and would recommend her services. I cannot thank Shona enough for her help :-)
Taimi has been a great cat sitter for my cat! She is flexible, caring and always sends little updates letting me know how he is getting on when I am away! I would definitely recommend Archie Cat Care
Taimi was very patient with my timid rescue cat, and looked after her very well. I had peace of mind knowing my cat was safe while I was away. Would definitely recommend.
Taimi is very pleasant and professional. I was very pleased with the way in which she looked after my cat and kept me informed with photos etc. I will be using her services again!
Taimi from Archie Cat Care Ltd has looked after our cat, Miso, for the past few months and has been the perfect companion for him while my partner and I are away. We get lots of photos and videos to keep us updated with how Miso is and Taimi is very happy to play with him and keep him happy. Taimi is flexible to fit in with our schedule and has helped out a lot. I would highly recommend Taimi and Archie Cat Care for cat sitting.
Taimi always takes great care, sends a lot of updates and has been available at short notice many times. Would 100% recommend her
Highly recommend Taimi for giving excellent cat care to my old boys while I was away. They hadn’t been left for a couple of years and I was concerned they would fret. However Taimi spent time playing and fussing them as well as performing all the usual cat care duties. It’s clear she loves cats and got to know my boys characters which showed in the photos and videos she sent me while away. Brilliant work! Thanks K.
Taimi took great care of our cats while we were away, cannot recommend her enough. Had plenty of photos and updates every day, going above and beyond with care and advice.
Taimi has now looked after our cat Hestia several times and has been nothing short of exceptional. She spends lots of quality time with her, and sends us plenty updates so we don't worry. Whenever we come back Hestia is a happy and well loved kitty. Taimi is also easily contactable and responsive, she has helped us out in a few tight corners when cat care had fallen through at the last minute. She is now our go-to for short breaks. Hestia loves her!
I was very anxious to leave my kitty, but Taimi was great. She has such a gentle mannerism which is so helpful for scaredy kitties. I got updates and videos from her every visit. I would recommend Taimi’s cat sitting services.
Taimi was fabulous from the start, she cared for our 2 cats at short notice and provided them with every care, playing with them, grooming them as well as feeding etc. we received photos and videos throughout. Taimi loves cats and they love her, even my very shy cat was playful and confident with her. I would highly recommend Taimi, we returned from holiday to very happy and contented cats.
Alan had our two dogs Lucas and Toffee for 10 day. Was like a little holiday for them, a home away from home. I would totally recommend for your furbabies.
I phoned at ladt minute to take my dog as I had to attend a meeting next day in Livingston at short notice. He luckily had a space as he is restricted to the amount of dogs he can have. I dropped Minnie our 12year old Yorkshire Terrier off with him at 7am. Picked her up at 6.30pm same day she was happy obviously did not miss me one bit I was very happy with Alan's srrvice and would not hesitate to use him again. His fees are more than reasonable.
This is definitely the best dog boarder/ day carer in Aberdeen. Great service, dogs come home looking happy and healthy.
Alan was unfortunately too full but he sent me a list of other licensed places to try. Top man.
He is a lovely man and my dog likes him woof woof woof
Thoroughly recommend Fairways Pet Haven. Renea, Stacey and all the staff take wonderful care of our elderly border collie Maya who has a complicated health situation requiring some extra care. Maya loves going for her holidays and always has a good time. We even get sent photos of her playing with staff. Really reassuring to know she is in good hands. Well done Fairways staff and thank you from Maya and all the family xx
Terrible establishment with very rude staff! I would not recommend Fairways Pet Haven to board your dogs. Let down at the very last last minute and turned away from a very rude and obnoxious women because our dogs recently had their flea and wormer tablets. When I booked over the phone I was advised they could not stay if they were not fully vaccinated as per section 9 and recently had the kennel cough vaccine as per section 17 of their term and conditions. "KENNEL COUGH vaccine is not required by Fairways Pet Haven. For the safety of all our guests we will not accept a dog that has had the kennel cough vaccine less than 3 weeks prior to boarding". Which i agreed to and advised that none of my dogs have received. So to then just turn them both away when they were due for drop off because they recently received their flea and wormer tablets is outrageous!!! If this is the case you need to be clear with potential customers and seriously think about updating your terms and conditions. Thankfully our dogs were accepted elsewhere last minute with no issues at all by friendly and inviting staff.
Lovely people and dog always comes home very happy. I've used others and you just know.
Fantastic dog kennels. Brought our dog here for around 10 years. She was always very happy during her stays here.
Can’t recommend these kennels highly enough. Our two dogs (one of whom is highly anxious) loved going on their ‘holidays’ to Fairways. Renae and her team are amazing and both the dogs always came home happy and relaxed which meant we could relax and enjoy our holiday. It’s the only kennels we have used where both dogs repeatedly trotted in happily. Sadly we moved from the area so can no longer use their service and I haven’t yet found a kennel that comes close to Fairways.
A home away from home for our fur baby. The girls here are great with the dogs. Our little fur baby girl first time at doggy day care and was taken care of brilliant and she got on like a house on fire with the girls....no hesitation to put our fur baby here for day care or boarding
Took Millie for a visit before we go on holiday. It is her first time in kennels. The place is amazing and staff are great, very helpful. Millie enjoyed a good sniff around. I feel quiet confident leaving her at Fairways Pet Haven!!
friendly staff, excellent place for dogs so well lookd after. wouldnt put my dog anywhere else. bit more expensive but worth evey penny. 💯💯💯💯 …
Took our dog there when we went skiing, he seemed to enjoy it and was actually better behaved than when he went in!
My big boy Ghost has had 5 days there and i have to say i was very impressed... fantastic place for your dog... defo will be back
Our dog Toby has been going regularly for around 2 years now and we wouldn’t put him anywhere else, he loves it and always comes home super happy (and tired), Mark and the team are always so friendly and nice and you are always greeted with a smile.
Left our two dogs here, one of which is ageing multiple times now. Great staff
I didn’t exactly want to write this review considering that it’s negative but I have tried contacting K9 Care on multiple occasions by calling the phone number provided on the website, I have tried on multiple days and different times which they are open and not a single time did anyone pick up or call me back. Quite disappointed as I was looking forward to leaving my dog with them. On the services that they provide I can’t make a comment as I never had a chance to use it due to never having my phone calls answered.
Mark, the owner, has extensive experience with dogs and operating kennels/day boarding facilities. He takes the time to learn the personalities of all his charges and matches them in small playgroups accordingly. It's nice knowing my pup is in a small group and not a giant pack of 20-30 dogs. Since starting my pup at daycare, I've seen a huge boost in his confidence and he's learned how to play nicely and respect other dogs. Highly recommend!
We've been sending our dog there since they opened. He absolutely loves going and always comes home happy and tired after a day of fun :)
Such a fantastic service, my dog loves going there. Always comes back exhausted.
Excellent place.
My dog loves it they are well looked after
Elaine has been walking my border terrier (archie) for over a year, and I can't recommend her highly enough! Elaine is super reliable, trustworthy and flexible. Elaine spent lots of time getting to know archie and its obvious that he adores her!
Elaine has looked after our wee boy since he was a puppy…he’s nearly 10 now! She is so good with him, always aware of his needs especially as he gets older. He absolutely adores and trusts her x
I have been using Elaine for over a decade. She is completely reliable, trustworthy and her love for the dogs is undeniable. My dogs get great exercise and are always excited when Elaine arrives to pick them up. I also appreciate how Elaine always posts photos for us owners to see what are dogs are up to on their walks.
Elaine is so good with our wee dog Johnny. He's a bundle of energy but she has trained him so well and he absolutely loves spending time with her. For us, she is so amenable and communicative and helps us balance our work and dog life. Totally recommended!
Elaine is 100% reliable and always willing to add an unscheduled extra day if needed. Eva loves her time with Elaine and her doggie buddies and it’s great to see daily photos too. Excellent.
Great service, Half Pint enjoys his time with Elaine 😊 …
A good service. The main thing is my dog is happy.What more can I ask for.
Elaine has looked after our boy for 9 years, he adores her, she has the best way with him, her training background is such an asset, she groups the dogs that get along, they have a field all to themselves so no danger of running away and have the time of their lives, Marco comes home thorough tired out, wouldn’t trust anyone else
I cannot rate highly enough the service, amazing care, wonderful love and attention given to Milo our very stubborn and nervous beagle. Milo had such an amazing stay the very first time he has been happy to stay away from home all previous visits he has been very upset but he just loved his time I actually think he qas better looked after and happier than he is at home 🙈 I am so relieved I can book him in for all our 2024 trips as he has found someone who he loves being around.
Can’t recommend Ilona enough. Our Beagle spent 12 days with Ilona, she had the best time. This was our first time leaving her since taking her home. Ilona’s obvious passion and understanding of dogs made our decision easier. We were at full ease during Brandi’s full stay, we were provided with daily updates and there was no hesitation to message Ilona about anything throughout. Brandi misses all of her new friends, and is excited for her next visit.
Ilona is amazing. Loki is a bit of an anxious dog and I am so glad that he is more than happy to be left at Ilona's care. Her lovely dog, Choco, is also an amazing as he gets along with Loki just fine. I am always confident that my dog will be always be looked after. He gets lots of plays and cuddles too so I have no issues leaving him under Ilona's care whenever we go for long holidays. Highly recommend Woof woof Wonderland!
I am the owner of a reactive miniature schnauzer Dexter. At our first “meet and greet” at Ilona’s house our dog liked her straight away and I felt confident that we could leave him with her. He stayed for a week later that month and Ilona was great. She kept in touch with photos and messages and I could see he was having a good time and was quite settled. She is very kind and caring and quite clearly loves having dogs to stay. I will definitely contact Ilona again and highly recommend her xx
Ilona has been looking after my Cockapoo River on a regular basis and has done a great job I would highly recommend her 🙌🏻 …
My dog Szogun had the best time with Ilona. Thanks to her we could enjoy our time away. He was in a good hands all that time. We already booked another stay with Woof Woof Wonderland for our Szogun because we know how happy he was there. Defo 5 stars service!
Bailey loves her time here!
Nothing better than a little holiday at Ilona 😍 Gola got spoiled to bits, was well looked after and enjoyed her time! Highly recommend! …
Highly recommend!
We highly recommend it with all hands.🐾🙂 Mrs. Ilona has a great attitude towards dogs and our Bruno🐶 returned home not only happy, but also better behaved because he no longer tries to crawl on the table xD He will definitely come back there again😊 …
Picked up pompom after staying here for 16 nights. Staff were lovely looked after pompom so well. Pompom will definitely stay here again.
I was at The Boarding Kennels recently, dropping a client's dog off and I was lucky enough to see inside of the kennels and some of the space they have to let the dogs run around and have fun in; the conditions were good although there were a lot of dogs all very close together (with the barking that goes along with it) so if you have a dog of a nervous disposition then perhaps The Boarding Kennels isn't the right place. The staff were nice and the prices seem fair so all in all a very decent place for your (boisterous) hound.
Outstanding service. We have tried lots of kennels but this is the only one where our dog is really happy. They truly care and my dog is absolutely happy too see them when we return. Katy is an angel. Thank you so much for your brilliant service . The happy parents of Tücsi
I was supposed to leave my dog for two weeks with them in May but because of this pandemic my holidays have been cancelled so I enquire what’s happening with the deposit I paid if it’s possible to transfer it because it’s a global issue and most people are able to get vouchers or transfer things but from this place I was told that deposit is non returnable and non transferable and that they are helping out NHS staff and they can’t help me. Well sorry but please stop using NHS staff as an excuse because I work for NHS myself and I am absolutely discussed with your attitude towards me and your communication. I will never put my dog into your care and I will never recommend anyone else to do that.
Rosie the Cockerpoo spent a week here end of April into May. I was really impressed by the care given by the team here, Rosie returned to us a happy healthy dog. We, will definately use the Kennels again.
My dog just loves the boarding kennels. pre covid it was always just too hard to book a space for him as they were always booked up. friendly staff who love and care for the dogs .
Just picked our greyhound Paddy. He has been very well looked after at the kennels, so chuffed with this place and we will definitely be using again.
We had our little girl here for 10 days and she has come back a bit of a different dog, not herself, nippy so not sure I would make use of them again.
Excellent Place..!!! Our dog Lewis has been going there for a while now and he lives Keith and his team...!!! 👍👍👍 BIG Thumbs up...!!!! …
Sam my little dog loves it here and that makes me very happy.. He is really cared for at The Boarding Kennels at Newmachar and I would recommend 100%
Jen was recommended to me by another cat sitter. She was fantastic with my cat, Milo while I was away on a 2 week holiday. I received daily updates and photos. Milo was spoilt rotten and enjoyed getting cuddles.
Jen is great with my 5 cats (Murphy, Bekkie, Sam, Dave and Luna). More recently looking after them.for 6 days, all of them looking happy on photos provided, and getting home to 5 happy furr babies !!. Thank you Jen x
Jan always provides a great service. My cats are always very happy when I return from a trip and I can relax when I'm away from home knowing that they are being well looked after.
Had not boarded my cat and ferrets here for a few years and was surprised to see how run down the place looked this time round. During the handover, the lady did not know what to house my 2 ferrets in or what to feed them and I was unhappy that they did not have accommodation ready for receiving them. I offered to take them through and get them set up after she also said she wasn’t used to ferrets but she declined. I did not feel confident leaving them but was dropping them off on route to my holiday and so felt committed to doing so. On return, I was advised my female ferret had passed away but was assured that there had been no problems during the stay but on returning home, my male ferret was so thin and emaciated that he was falling over and unable to stand up. I took him to the vet and they advised that he had either not been fed or had been fed the wrong thing. Very distressing experience and I would not recommend this place and will not return.
I don't even know where to start... When we dropped our cat off there was no one there to receive us, we were waiting for around 20 mins. The receptionist was cold and uninterested. A week later when we came to collect, again we were left waiting half an hour for an employee to arrive and a further 15 mins waiting for said employee to retrieve our cat (it seems like the cats are left unattended when there's no customers). We were then told to come through to the enclosure, as our cat was refusing to come out. We were shocked to see the poor conditions our cat was being held in. It was a cold concrete floor with no bed or food visible, only a dirty litter tray. There was a cat flap into the 'kennel' where any other cat could enter. Our cat had a new scar on his left cheek and broken skin on one of his paws. Our vet was certain that this was injury caused by another cat. This is not a pet resort but a pet prison! Our cat was crying out, hissing and hiding behind the door. When we got him home he was shaky, parched and starving. He didn't smell good, his coat was rough and he was lighter to pick up. We could never recommend this place and we will never return.
I've been boarding my parrot at pet resort for years I highly recommend them just picked up my parrot shes happy as every. very nice staff excellent service.Thanks again for looking after my parrot.
Very upset at how we have just been dealt with. I picked up my diabetic cat from here a day early, once I got my cat home I found out that she was soaked in cat urine. She has also lost over half a kilo in weight and may need to be admitted to the vets later today. The stories we have heard from the owner have changed repeatedly. On initial contact with the manager he said he knew she was covered in urine and was waiting for the heavy rain to stop to use grooming spray on her. Just now he claims she was wet from water she had knocked over. He left my elderly cat covered in her own urine for hours. Not only has the manager been extremely unhelpful one of the front of house staff was rude to my wife. On dropping my cat off, we were told that we needed to pay extra to have her insulin administered, the retort from the girl was “well you are paying for a 5star service”. Rude and indignant. We asked for a refund for the neglected state our cat returned in to be told that wasn’t an option. Overall I have found the whole service to be disgraceful and I would never ever recommend this place again.
We left our cats at the Aberdeen Pet Resort, Peterculter, for a week in April. When we got them home, less than a 5 minute drive, their travel carriers and blankets were covered in fur and urine. Our cats were absolutely stinking of urine too! I contacted the place immediately as I felt that they had been living in their travel carriers and using it as a litter tray too! Only to be told that they were not kept in their travel carriers and they had no idea why our cats smelt so bad! It must been the journey home, all 5 minutes of it!! DO NOT PUT YOUR BELOVED PETS HERE! This place should be closed immediately!!! Definitely not a genuine one star! I would give them nothing but closure!
I am happy to take my cat here. He has an indoor area with a shelf and a small outdoor area. It is very clean. I especially like that there are no dogs here as that stresses the cats out. Nice reception with welcoming residential cats and parrot. He always seems content when I collect him.
Reading these reviews is really upsetting. I put my cat in here a few years ago, and paid extra as it was over Xmas. When I got him back he was stinking I had to bathe him. I wonder now if he was kept in his box. I feel awful that he went through that experience. Lairshill is my go to now. They are very good.
I have used this cattery three times never any problems. The staff are really attentive they let me see the room she would be staying in. We discussed feeding options and what she liked and didnt like. We paid extra for some play time on a daily basis. Your pet will be weighed when you drop them off and again on collection which i really liked. Its a little difficult to find so put on your sat nav. Plenty parking right outside the main reception
The staff has always been friendly and helpful to me, the place appears clean and I see nothing of concern (reading the 1 star reviews). When I picked my cat up last time, my cat was hissing at me, but that's a reflection on him (he was rescued by the sspca and doesn't deal with new people or small spaces) and not the facility.
Second time our cats have stayed here as an emergency and both times they have become ill straight after. We will DEFINITELY not be leaving our cats here again...even if it is an emergency. The place stinks of cat pee as soon as you walk in,it is almost unbearable. We had emailed, agreed and paid an extra fee to drop our cats off late. Upon drop off at the agreed later time the owner decided to complain about how inconvenient late drop off times were for them and had a go at us about it..... yet it had all been agreed in writing and an extra fee paid for!!! Our advice is avoid this place. Nasty smells and awful management
