UK Professional Couple Wishing To See More Of The World!
Fabulous, Faultless Five Star sitters! We were treated to daily photos, videos and anecdotes about our much loved pet, which our whole family could access, and we had absolute confidence that our dog was being loved and cared for as always. It was as if a family member was at home. Local friends saw them out on walks and our dog always looked happy, under control and well cared for. We didn’t meet this lovely couple unfortunately, but they were totally reliable and communicated efficiently to advise of their arrival and departure times, they are super organised and didn’t ask any unnecessary questions. The house was spotless on our return despite the fact our dog moults at this time of the year, all areas were thoroughly clean and tidy, and we had a helpful handover note. We couldn’t have asked for more, and don’t hesitate to recommend Claire & Mike!

Trustworthy and reliable couple
Steven and Ariel were amazing house sitters. They came to meet my husband beforehand to introduce themselves, which I thought was nice and reassuring. They sent us frequent updates and photos of our lovely Fluffy. The kids and i enjoyed seeing what she was up to… she looked very happy with Steven and Ariel in the photos and videos and I could see they were treating her very well. Once we got home Fluffy was relaxed. They left our home exactly as they found it, plus they cleaned up a pan I had nearly destroyed and left a beautiful floral display. We were very pleased as they made our few days away worry free and the process was effortless. We would be happy for them both to stay in our home and look after Fluffy again.

Your pets are our passion! Professional, pet friendly couple traveling abroad.
Sarah and Chris were just lovely, our boys took to them immediately. They sent us pics and updates on the boys during their stay, so we were confident they were all in safe hands. We would heartily recommend them and would be very happy to have them back any time. Thank you

Friendly, honest and reliable sitter
Lucie cared for my cat several times in the past and she is always so reliable and organised. Plus my cat is often sad when I go away but with her he is happy and eats normally. I can only recommend Lucie to anyone. She also takes excellent care of the apartment and the plants.

I'm a photographer and animal lover *Triple vaccinated*
This was our first experience of using a housesitter and we couldn’t have chosen anyone better than Michael. He was very easy to get on with, reliable and kept us fully informed at every stage of the process. We appreciated him asking if we wanted updates on our pets while we were away and it was reassuring to be sent photos of our cat who clearly made friends very quickly! The house was spotlessly clean and tidy when we returned home - all in all Michael made it a very good experience for us.

RESPONSIBLE, RELIABLE & ADAPTIVE SITTERS. 100% LOVE & CARE FOR YOUR PETS & HOME!
Sunny and Harper were thoughtful, clean, communicative, and took fantastic care of my home and dog. They sent regular updates and photos and I came home to a clean house and happy pet! They are welcome back any time :)

Danish Yoga Teacher with calming vibes
I could not have had a better first experience with zeewoi than with Aysha. From first meeting her, I felt so reassured that my cat and my home would be cared for. I would love to have her back every time I am away!

Jeff & Sylvie: a mature, caring & thoughtful couple for your pets, home & garden
Jeff and Sylvie were excellent sitters for both Lola our dog and the house. They communicated in advance really well and came around to run through the sit and aspects of the house. They kept us informed during the sit and clearly Lola was enjoying their company and normal life at home (rather than having to be elsewhere). Jeff & Sylvie did an outstanding job of leaving our house super tidy and wonderfully clean. They very kindly even left us a meal in the fridge knowing we were getting back late with the kids. Would really recommend them to anyone and also welcome them back to our house. We wish them safe travels and hopefully see them again soon!

Trustworthy & caring couple with lots of love for animals ❤️
This was the second time within two months that Paula came to look after my house rabbits Max and Cyndi. Cyndi had just had surgery in connection with her ongoing bladder problems and needed medication during the recovery process. "Nurse Paula" again did a great job and on top of that took my bunny to the vet halfway through the sit for a quick follow-up appointment. She also informed me immediately when my boy Max seemed a bit off and gave him some emergency meds for his occasional "upset stomach" right away. He thankfully seemed normal and hungry when I walked through the door a few hours later! I am grateful having had Paula on my site during this time since she was a great help and did everything without further ado. She always leaves the house spotless and is the most pleasant house guest you could wish for. I very much hope to welcome her again in the future!

CLIVE & GILL 2 NON SMOKERS AVAILABLE FOR HOUSESITTING. PETS VERY WELCOME!
We met with Gill and Clive prior to our trip and were very happy. They were very friendly and engaging and our dogs instantly bonded and played. Gill and Clive arrived on the day of our trip as planned and provided updates every couple of days during our trip, putting our minds at rest. Upon our return, our house was very clean and tidy and Gill had very kindly provided us with some basic essentials (bread, milk & eggs). Our dogs were happy and it was clear they had been very well cared for. We could not recommend Gill and Clive any higher to other zeewoi members.
It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
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
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
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!
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
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.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
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!
Gemma and Maria are fantastic and would not leave Willow, my whippet anywhere else. They carefully manage their dogs and ensure they are a good fit. They were able to manage my nervous but whizzy whippet puppy with skill and she has been attending for 18 months. I always feel Willow is safe, she is never left alone and they understand how to meet her needs. Willow has a fantastic time at regular day boarding, she gets walked, playtime and plenty of space to take herself off for a sleep. Willow literally pulls me up the drive excited wanting to go in. Willow always comes out happy. I am confident Gemma and Maria knows Willow's breed needs and meets them and she gets lots of cuddles too. Willow has also stayed for a week when I went on holiday and it is like a home from home for her so she was settled and happy straight away. For day and night boarding there are plenty of photo updates which I screenshot as they take beautiful photos. Communication is good and timely with clear general information and information needed to be communicated about Willow. Horsham Pet Care really is a 5 star provision with the welfare and needs of the animals central to everything they do.
Gemma and Maria run the best daycare service, Watson always has the best time and gets so excited to go back every week! They are affordable, kind and so caring to all the pets. I love seeing the daily updates on Instagram :)
Gemma and Maria provide such wonderful 'home from home' day care and boarding for my dog Poppy, providing love, comfort and beautiful walks in the countryside and woods. Poppy is a rescue so was very anxious early on and I very carefully chose Horsham Pet Care because instinctively I just knew it would be perfect for her as soon as we met for our introduction session. Gemma and Maria have patiently and lovingly built her trust and confidence and Poppy is so excited to go there. Gemma posts pictures and videos every day of all the dogs and Poppy's smiles say it all. Thank you so much for loving and looking after Poppy so very well.
Gemma and Maria are amazing! They are running a professional , friendly and reliable service. Our Puppy loves seeing them for walks and day care. I would recommend to anyone 🐶❤️
My goldie Callie has been spending days at HPC and going for walks with Gemma since she was 5 months old - meaning entire 2 years! She loves it and I always feel confident knowing that Maria and Gemma will take best care of her. Thank you for all the amazing work you’ve been doing! Couldn’t be happier ♥️🐾 …
Gemma has looked after our dog for 2.5 years now - walking her twice a week and house sitting if we go away. She’s always reliable and our dog adores her :) we’d recommended Horsham Pet Care to anyone!
Gemma and Maria take such good care of our Labrador x Vizsla and he is always so excited to go see them! He can be a anxious when away from home but they manage it so we’ll and I never have a single second of worry about him when he is there. We love seeing pictures of him having fun and burning off some energy!
Our cockapoo is always so well looked after and is always so excited to go to day care! It’s lovely to see photos throughout the day of him out on walks or having a rest with all the pack. Definitely recommend.
Gerry always has a great time
All dogs happy and cared for. Love this place.
There is a secure paddock where we have a group Bulldog meet up, it's very clean and well kept with shelter if it's raining for the humans 🤣 …
Laura and the team have been absolutely amazing with my dog storm. Following a recent accident, they have been accommodating in dealing with his new abilities, making sure he gets lots of cuddles and generally supporting me at a difficult time. Can't fault them at all, 100% recommend.
We use We Love Pets Haywards Heath for home boarding. Laura is an absolutely delight! My dog Lilly truly loves meeting her and when I need to be away I always know that Lilly is well cared for. There is great communication of the boarding (once Lilly is there) as well as every time I need to book an additional date. It is a difficult thing to find the right company to watch pets when we go on holidays (and to trust it!) but I feel like we have found a solution which works perfectly for us. Laura is an absolutely delight and Lilly is super happy every time we need to go away.
I can't recommend Laura and We Love Pets Haywards Heath highly enough! My lurcher is a fussy old man but he wags his tail with delight every time I drop him off and makes himself right at home on Laura's sofa without even a look back at me! Finding a doggy day care that you can trust is so difficult and I'm delighted with Laura & her business. She really cares for my boy and ensures that he's comfortable and happy. She is really easy going and flexible, which is useful when London trains are misbehaving, and nothing is ever too much trouble. She only has one or two dogs at a time, so there is no concern about unsettled groups or manic walks with multiple dogs. If you want a friendly and reliable dog sitter, walker or boarder, don't hesitate to get in touch with Laura, your pup is in the safest hands!
Our dog loves staying with Laura at We Love Pets Haywards Heath for home boarding. She loves the family dynamic and we always have wonderful photos of her playing, out for walks or snuggling with the family - so we know she is well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend we Love Pets Haywards Heath.
Our little sausage dog has been to Laura’s several times now and she absolutely loves it! Laura takes great care of her and is very happy to send photos and texts to reassure us whilst we are away. It’s so reassuring that we have someone so lovely to look after our precious pup when we aren’t able to. We would definitely recommend her!
Laura and her team have been walking our lively labrador a few times a week for a year now. I don’t have a single negative thing to say about them! Although he’s very lively, our dog can also be quite nervous in new situations and Laura really took the time to chat to us about that and made sure all of us were totally comfortable which was so reassuring. All the walkers are just the loveliest people and are all amazing with our dog. We very consciously chose a dog walker that doesn’t use a van with cages and doesn’t walk huge numbers of dogs at a time. We love pets either walk locally to our house or the walkers will transport our dog securely in their own cars. Our dog is regularly walked with another dog but prior to this happening the team made sure they would get on well and were a good fit for each other - I don’t believe this is something other local dog walkers do. We can tell how much our dog loves the walkers and that makes us love them too!
We were introduced to the 'We Love Pets Team' when our cockapoo was still a young puppy. From the beginning I had peace of mind leaving our puppy in their care. They clearly have extensive experience, Laura and team were keen to maintain routines and training, were possible. Our puppy loves being in their care
Just picked up our lovely Sausage from Laura’s who owns the Haywards Heath branch, he has been so well looked after. The true test for me was as we walked him to drop him off I had to let the lead go about 100 yards from the house and he ran to Laura’s front door squealing with delight. There is no way he could go into a kennel as he has bad separation anxiety, when he stays with Laura he is part of her family, he adores the children and has a very soft spot for both Laura and her husband. Laura also looked after our two Hamsters and again we have come home to them being happy. I would recommend Laura to anyone!
Our dog Marlow absolutely loves boarding with Laura. He truly is part of the family when he’s there, and we have no worries at all except maybe if he’ll ever want to come back home to us. Laura and her team are so lovely and accommodating, I’m so glad we found them!
Laura from We Love Pets dog sat our mature German Shepherd at our home for two days. Upon first meeting, Koda really liked Laura and we felt very comfortable leaving our precious baby in her hands as well as our house. I would highly recommend the services of We Love Pets and have already booked them again in September. J Young
Dillon always has such a good time with Kirsty and Matt. I feel totally relaxed with him being there both for day care and on his little holidays when we are away knowing he is safe and having loads of fun. He now just runs in through the door without a look back at me - so clearly loves it there!
Ennio loves his walks with everyone from We Love Pets. I have bumped into a couple of his walkers (who I have never met) when out for a walk or in town. He goes bonkers and introduces me to them😂. I also receive lovely photos of him enjoying his walks, one is attached to this review. Every time I return from work, I am greeted by my content pooch eager to tell me what a great time he has had.
Excellent service! Recently used We Love Pets Crawley to walk my dog during the day and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Kirsty was super helpful in getting started ensuring all my questions were answered, and booking appointments was super convenient and flexible. A professional and helpful company that took great care of my dog.
Our pups B+M love their time with We love pets. They’ve visited for stay overs with their boarding service while we have been away and have had many walking sessions. We know they love their time with Kirsty and Matt as anytime we walk past them or their house our pups get extremely excited. It’s really comforting knowing B+M are with people they’re comfortable with and who obviously love animals. We wouldn’t consider using anyone else.
Highly recommend Kirsty and her team at We Love Pets. Updates are sent with photos. Kirsty very kindly helped us out when we needed our cat looked after very last minute.
I cannot praise Kirsty enough her warm welcome and friendly face when Lola arrives who is always so excited to be with Kirsty and her other dog friends . Very flexible service and I know Lola is well loved and looked after thank you Kirsty for everything you do ♥️
Hi everyone If you’re looking for a loving safe place to leave your fur baby. Kirsty and Matt are paw-fect Recently I had a funeral to attend and was anxious about leaving my little dog as she’s a bit shy and never been away from home. I needn’t of worried she had a great time and loved them both.🐾💕
Highly recommend Kirsty, excellent with our dog who loved staying there. Constantly provided updates throughout. Have used a number of times and would definitely use in the future.
We use We Love Pets regularly. Kirsty & Matt are true animal lovers. They are trustworthy, reliable and always make both of our dogs feel like part of their family! Definitely recommend. Wouldn't go with anybody else!
Great experience with Kirsty at we love pets. Always willing to help where she can for overnight stays and doggy day care services. Our dog Buster came away very happy! 🐶 …
This is more of a dog kennel with a cattery included. We took our two cats to this cattery two weekends ago and I was not best pleased with the customer service. When we dropped them off at reception they didn't ask for the cats names to see who was who and as a result when it came to collecting them my partner said he was there to pick up and said our cats names and the receptionist looked at him like who? Our cats were there for 5 days! I felt the service was very in-personable and would not take my cats back. You can tell it's all about the dogs.
I've used a few kennels in my time but Cherry Trees are hands down the best. The animals have clean, well insulated and warm looking sleeping areas. The location and country side, enclosed fields etc gives confidence that their exercise needs are being met. It did not have the usual kennel stench that you find in some places. The staff were friendly and are happy to give you a tour around the facilities to ensure it is the right fit for your standards. The kennels are clean. Only downside is that they get booked up fast. But that's a testament to how good the kennels are. Staff are always helpful and seem genuinely to love animals and enjoy their jobs there.
My two huskies absolutely love Cherry Tree Kennels. They never look back and just want to get inside when we visit, which is a relief when you go on a holiday. They come back tired and happy dogs. People working at Cherry Tree are all very nice but ultimately it’s the happiness and wellbeing of our dogs that matters while we are away. Thank you for all your hard work!
First time using them following a settling in day. Our dog seemed happy to be back and keen to go in. Dropping off and picking up was well organised , though it can get busy at key times so you may need to wait for a few mins. They checked they had all the right information. He came out clean and happy too. Not remotely stressed. I do know what a few others mean about the small kennels/ no runs etc, but our dog certainly didn't seem to mind and apparently enjoyed his playing time out and his walk.
Not the place for us unfortunately. The facility looks (from the front desk) to be in good condition and fairly well run, and people were friendly over the phone. We waited months for a regular slot to come up and ended up visiting three times in recent months for a half day and two full days. Unfortunately on two of the three times I dropped my dog off I found the person running the front desk very unfriendly and unwelcoming. I even called after the first time I experienced this to ask whether I’d done something wrong with checking the dog in which had accidentally annoyed them - which I hadn’t, so assumed it was a bad day and let it go. On the third visit, again, she looked less than impressed with my bouncy Labrador, she didn’t know we were coming despite having booked, and so decided this wasn’t the right place for us anymore. On collection I cancelled all my future appointments and no one asked me why so I left it at that. Lots of glowing reviews from other customers, so might be the wrong fit for me and my dog.
Always very accommodating with our Akita. Very friendly staff
Rue (our flatcoated retriever) had her first over night (2 nights) stay at Cherry Tree (we had a trail session a couple of weeks ago, where Rue stayed for just the afternoon). Although Rue cannot reply properly, when we picked her up, she greeted us as enthusiastically as always and then went back to the lady who brought her out and was equally enthusiastic, so we took that as a great sign that Rue had a great time. The whole process of booking Rue in, dropping her off ans picking her up was straight forward and shows the many years of experience they have running the business. We will have no hesitation in Rue staying again.. Highly recommended.
Very good experience. Dogs went for a day visit. Was shown a video of them living their best life out in their secure field.
Our labrador, Sunny, has just had his first full week at Cherry Tree Kennels. We needn't of worried about him. He has come home happy and healthy and clearly loved his holiday there. Thank you so much 💓 …
We went to view this kennels, whist the staff seemed lovely and friendly, the area looked lovely also, but I did feel very sorry for the dogs particularly the ones in what seemed like a shed, they were behind frosted doors and closed inside there, the sizes of the areas they were closed into looked far too small particularly for one big black dog in the corner with no access to an outside area for them to relieve themselves or any sight of the outside for who knows how long, we were told if it was hot they were not let out so I was very unsure where they were supposed to go. We were told staff left at 4 half 4 after they were fed and this concerned me as to how or where a dog was supposed to toilet from that time until the next morning. We cancelled our bookings and I don't think I will ever forget that shed and how it made me feel for those dogs in those small areas. Such a shame as the staff seemed hard working and lovely and assumed most kennels have an attached outside area onto the back of them which is closed off at night, just not right for our dogs particularly as my dog will not toilet where he sleeps and I can imagine would feel very stressed and bored.
Thank you so much to the friendly staff at Doodley Dogs day care. I needed to find a happy and friendly doggy day care quickly and locally. Doodley Dogs were very accommodating and professional. Ronnie enjoyed his 5 days with you and his furry friends. I will bring Ronnie back in the future. Keep up the good work and thanks again. 🥰 xx
This review is regarding the puppy hour on Saturday mornings. My partner and I attended with our young puppy on two occasions and all seemed well. A couple of the staff are nice and our puppy had a relatively good time. Then we returned for our 3rd week (16 week old puppy at this stage). We arrived and a new staff member was present in the dog play area. We entered the area with our puppy getting slightly excited as he saw some of his puppy friends from the weeks previously. We were barely through the gate and this new staff member was extremely rude and grabbed my puppy by the collar, unnecessarily telling him to calm down. Yes he had a little bit of energy but we had been there 30 seconds. I believed staff would have some knowledge around dogs if their job is to work with them (other staff members were very professional). After a second attempt to let our puppy play, this rude chap grabbed him by the collar again and got very irate. I think this behaviour was disgusting and I would warn others not trust these people with your dogs. There are plenty of other places which are far better and more professional.
My dog loves it here, great value for money, especially considering when you look at competitor companies and prices, my dog is always looked after, comes home shattered, lots to do, play with and relax on (not that she uses them!). All staff are fantastic as well. Use regularly and would recommend Doodley Dogs
My pup loves Doodley dogs. He's so tired when he gets home after playing all day! The staff and volunteers are all lovely.
A very safe place to leave your dog, in the hands of professional dog minders. I have total peace of mind to attend my hospital appointments or other functions, knowing my dog is in safe hands. I can also watch her on the video, seeing for myself she is happily enjoying her time there..
My dog loves Doodley and comes home every day shattered. It is good to watch her on their live webcams, she never sits still. Opening at 7 and closing at 6:30 on weekdays is perfect for my work schedule. The owners are friendly, knowledgeable and it is clear their first priority are the dogs. They also offer other services such as dog walks and training sessions. I think the team are amazing as well, they chat to me every time I drop off and collect, they always give me a debrief on how my dog has got on, and sometimes show me a photo or 2 if I haven't seen them on FB yet. They also give advice if I have issues with my dog at home (such as pulling on her lead etc) Every single one of them is friendly, kind, knowledgeable and I trust every single one of them with my dog. I would highly recommend Doodley dogs and believe my dog is friendly and social due to her time at Doodley.
Strongly recommend Doodley Dogs! I never thought our 2 year old frenchie would be able to interact with other dogs as he was very reactive on the lead. Doodley Dogs took him in and slowly introduced him to the other dogs and we’ve noticed a massive change in his behaviour when we meet other dogs on the lead- he definitely is learning and becoming more socialised. The staff are so lovely- we can’t thank you enough!!
Doodley dogs is where I met my nervous rescue mystery. The team were amazing in surporting me when I began fostering her; she was very nervous of both people and dogs, she would run and hide if anyone came near; however over time with love, care and effort from everyone at Doodley, Mystery is now loving life, making friends and found her forever home. The team at Doodley dogs are willing to help by using all their knowledge and skills to assist owners and ensure every dog has a fantastic time!
ETA in response to the rubbish the owner has replied. Our dog did not enjoy her time there. She was let off lead in an arena and ran straight to the gate. She also didn’t leave my or my partners side. Your response is lies, cute nonetheless but lies. Caitlin said she wasn’t present during our tour. And I also never stated there was anything wrong with the woman who took the tour just that things could’ve been worded differently. The dogs I saw were happy and playing but with barely any interaction from staff. If it was Anna who is suffering that loss, I send her and her family nothing but strength and love with her loss. Amy I send you strength and well wishes to be one a better human being but ultimately, you can’t play chess with a pigeon so I won’t even try. So this is a difficult review because we never used the day care but what I am reviewing is the attitude of the staff. I called to enquire about day care for our dog, I spoke with someone from Storrington who was lovely, very polite, excited by the idea of meeting our dog and booked us in for a viewing on Saturday at Crawley - we are closer to this location. Upon arriving at Crawley at our time slot, we had a walk round the pet store and then went to the window of the arena. Standing in the arena were two members of staff. One was barely interacting with the dogs, the other was behind a counter. It was this person that showed us round, not before giving me a horrendously dirty look beforehand. Only once she understood we were there for a viewing did she smile. The viewing was sufficient enough but some things could be reworded in the explanation. Today, Monday, I tried to call Storrington to feedback our experience, to help, not moan. I asked to speak to the manager and I spoke to Amy, who I think may be one of the owners. Amy is awful. Amy is aggressive and rude and because of her hideous attitude I ended the call. There was no point in trying to talk to her as she wasn't listening and didn't see an issue. I mentioned about the dirty look as a welcome. Amy didn't see an issue in this and told me that a member of the team there on Saturday, lost her mother. My genuine sincere condolences. However I question the type of boss Amy is allowing her team member to work after such a heartbreaking loss. Maybe she should've stepped up, sent this poor woman home and worked herself. I realised that actually Amy couldn't care less about my feedback and ended the call. A few hours later Caitlin from Crawley called me to understand what had happened. Caitlin is a credit to your site, she was polite, she was apologetic and actually shocked at our experience. She listened, she didn't interrupt (Amy take note), she sympathised with our issues and experience and she couldn't apologise more. Had we met Caitlin on Saturday, it may have been a different story. Well done Caitlin - you are wonderful! Excellent customer service and may I suggest that Amy listen to that call and understand how to speak to people and how to take feedback. Our dog won't be attending Doodley Dogs but a large part of that was because of Amy's awful attitude. Had I spoken to Caitlin first, it could have been turned round.
Our little girl absolutely loves Doodleydogs, always making new friends on each visit. The staff are excellent and form a fun and caring environment. I love being able to view her on the camera and see her play!
Kieran is absolutely brilliant with our dog. He’s reliable, really cares about animals, takes him for such great walks and even sends brilliant pictures. I know Milo is in such safe hands when we are at work and loved as much as we love him. I highly recommend Kieran for his very reasonable and excellent service.
Kieran (Ace Buddies Pet Care) is simply amazing! Our dogs, Suki and Lupo, absolutely adore him. He's always there when we need him, and we trust him completely. If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker in the area, Kieran is the one to go with!
Kieran has been so good for Milo. I couldn’t recommend him more highly to you. I was very worried about returning to work after having had a career break. I wanted someone for Milo who felt like part of the family popping in to take him for a walk. That is exactly how Kieran works. Milo is so well looked after and so happy. Thank you.
Kieran gave excellent care to our two guinea pigs while we were on holiday. He loves animals and we felt very happy leaving our pets with him. His small animal boarding facilities are excellent. Would highly recommend.
Ace Buddies has been amazingly reliable for Layla. Kieran has never let me down and I always know she is in good hands. I never worry about her. She was introduced to Ace Buddies as a German Shepherd puppy and has grown to be a playful, well behaved and confident dog who loves humans. I give ace buddies much credit in this. Kieran is always amazing with Layla and clearly a dog lover. Thank you Ace Buddies.
Kieran has been great - really friendly and reliable, trustworthy, local and reasonably priced. I've been happy with his help in walking my dog and will certainly use his dog care services again. I would definitely recommend Kieran :)
Kieran has been great with our dog Tinker. Introducing him to other dogs on his walk has really helped him and he always sends us picture of him when he’s out. Kieran is professional and totally trustworthy.
Kieran is amazing with my dog (a young, questionably behaved labradoodle pup). Kieran’s enthusiasm and love for animals is evident as soon as you meet him, and his flexibility around dog walks has been a godsend. I would 100% recommend his services to everyone. Thank you so much Kieran!
We are so happy that we've found Kieran to watch after our bunnies when traveling. He is such a nice guy, and you can tell he really loves animals! The bunnies were well taken care of and we would highly recommend Keiran to anyone looking for someone to look after their fur babies.
I cannot speak highly enough of Kieran's truly good natured and professional approach. Every time he has walked my dog, I receive positive feedback which speaks volumes in itself as Gemma can be a bit fussy and challenging to say the least! He has clearly managed to form a rapport with her whilst ensuring she doesn't misbehave! I was also relieved to find someone who is affordable compared to some other dog walkers. Kieran has been wonderfully supportive and needless to say I would recommend Ace Buddies to anyone!
We have been using Doggie Rambles for the past 18 months and wouldn't be without Mandy. Mandy is both extremely reliable but also has been flexible when we have needed that - a great combination for us. Most importantly our dog adores her - she waits on our bed looking out of the window for Mandy to park up as she is so excited to see her. She always comes back happy, tired and clean ( as she gets a paw rinse and wipe down before coming home). Mandy is clearly an animal lover, she doesn't take too many dogs at one time and varies where they walk so they are kept entertained. She is also very respectful of how you would like your dog treated - on or off lead and also quickly learns their personalities. I am so grateful to have found Mandy and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Mandy is everything a dog walker should be and so much more - and I have ridiculously high standards when it comes to my dog! She takes the responsibility of walking other people's pets seriously - never walks more than 4 at a time, is punctual, the dogs get a full hour's walk in a safe environment and arrive home happy and clean which is quite a feat in the current rainy spell! She is calm, friendly and flexible and has been able to walk my dog sometimes at very short notice for which I am so grateful. She clearly knows and understands the doggy mind and it's so reassuring for me to know that my dog is cared for by someone who is trustworthy and looks after him just as I would. I would have no hesitation in recommending her. Thanks Mandy, you're a star!
My dog absolutely loves her walks with Mandy . She can't wait to dash out of the door with Mandy, and always comes back very happy and extremely clean , even during this very wet winter. They are gone for well over an hour and seem to visit different places every time. I have complete confidence in Mandy knowing that she will look after Barley as if she were her own. Thank you Mandy- Polly C
A* petsitting service! Mandy has cared so well for all of our pets and home whilst we were away. We have a selection of cats, chickens, ducks, goats and fish so it was no small job but I had no worries knowing Mandy was in charge! Communication was excellent and we returned home to content pets, all clean and well fed, watered plants and empty bins 😊 Thank you so much
Would definitely recommend Doggie Rambles Horsham. From first contact Mandy provided an excellent welcoming and friendly service and our dog, Hector, comes home from his walks clean and happy, just as described. Thanks Mandy will definitely keep using your service.
I am thrilled to share my experience with Annie, our wonderful dog walker. Annie has been walking my dog, Holly, for several months now, and I couldn't be happier with her service. Anyone with a bull breed dog knows how stubborn they can be and Annie gave her time to make sure that Holly was suited in the best group so that their walks are enjoyable for everyone. She goes above and beyond by regularly sending me videos of Holly enjoying her walks, which always brings a smile to my face. Annie is not just a dog walker; she's also an exceptional pet sitter. When my family went away, she took care of Holly and our home with great care and attention. It was clear that Holly was comfortable and happy, which gave us peace of mind during our time away. What I appreciate most about Annie is how she treats Holly as if she were her own dog. Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. It's evident that she truly cares about Holly's well-being and happiness. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and dedicated to look after your furry friend, I highly recommend Annie. She has been an absolute blessing for our family and especially for Holly. Thank you, Annie, for your outstanding service and for loving Holly like your own!
Annie is brilliant at her job. She helped look after my dogs and they can’t wait to see her again! I couldn’t recommend her enough, Thanks Annie.
Couldn’t recommend Annie enough. My cat absolutely loves being looked after by her. She was looked after very well and I would definitely use her again. Thank you!
Tommy & Charlotte have looked after our cat Domino for a couple of years now, and are fantastic. They're a lovely couple, go above and beyond, and are reliable and trustworthy. Domino loves them, couldn't recommend them enough.
Tommy and Charlotte have just looked after my cat sky while we went on a weeks holiday. I cannot recommend them enough they have been absolutely fantastic sky is usually a very shy cat with strangers but they have brought her out of her shell. It was brilliant to have video and photo updates throughout the week of what she's been up to. Would definitely recommend and use scales feathers and fur in the future. Thanks guys!
Scales Feathers and Fur were simply the best. Having known Tommy for several years (working with us) when we heard about his new venture with Charlotte we were so excited. Our first, definitely not last experience was fantastic. Jess our adopted black and white cat can be very demanding, indeed her nickname is 'Bosskins'. We have to confess to being a bit nervous (for Tommy and Charlotte) leaving our little friend with them to look after especially has she has a thyroid issue so needs a pill each day. However, on our return she was so perky and purring and happy - I think she misses them more than she missed us! Everything was in order and we have lovely photos as well. The contact while we were away was great at putting our minds at rest but most importantly was returning to a happy content Jess. We would not hesitate to recommend them - from the first visit (where Jess didn't even reveal herself!) to the the day we came home. Easy, efficient, professional, courteous, kind, thoughtful just a few adjectives to describe Scales Feathers and Fur. Thank you. Will be in touch again soon. Clare & Dan.
Tommy and Charlotte recently took care of our cat Cricket for 9 days, plus some other property chores. They are an excellent team and we had every confidence in leaving both Cricket and our property in their charge. We thought it was great that it is a two person business, for backing each other up. We returned home to a happy cat, which is something as he really can be quite demanding. This is a very professional couple and we have no hestation in recommending their services.
How lucky we were to find Tommy and Charlotte! I returned to f/t work 9 months ago and was no longer able to support my mother in law with walking her dog. Chico is a bright busy gorgeous boy, but needs close attention as loves a chase! Tommy and Charlotte instantly understood Chico and have been simply fantastic in their support of both him and my mother in law. They've been flexible when urgent appointments cropped up and have helped out, over and above, when the cat needed to go to the vet. On top of it all they've sensitively introduced Chico to another lovely dog and so now he has a companion a couple of times a week on his walks. I cannot recommend Tommy and Charlotte highly enough - extremely professional and capable animal lovers who are great at their job and understand their clients as well as the animals they care for.
Tommy and Charlotte were lovely people and amazing at looking after our large menagerie while we were away (2 cats, 11 chickens, tropical fish, 2 tortoises and 2 very spoilt house rabbits). We came home to happy, content animals that didn't seem to have noticed we'd even gone away. They were willing to do anything and everything we asked and (being the obsessed pet parent I am) I was thrilled to get updates to let me know how everyone was. I will be using Scales, Feathers and Fur again and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to be able to relax in the knowledge that their scaley, feathered and furry friends are in safe caring hands.
We can't thank Tommy and Charlotte enough for the care and attention they gave to our kittens whilst we were away. The photo's and updates were appreciated and helped put our minds at rest that the kittens were perfectly happy and enjoying themselves. Tommy and Charlotte were a lucky find on our part, such a lovely attentive duo, and clearly love their job. No task was too much for them, even watering the tomatoes, closing curtains etc To top it all off, their rates are very competitive. Brilliant! We have used 3 different pet sitting services in the past and scales, feathers and fur are by far head and shoulders above the rest. The main reason for this is the fact that they spent quality time with our animals, playing with them and giving them love! This pet sitting duo is a 'must' if you want peace of mind and your pets to have a ball whilst you are away,😀🙂
Our cat & dog love Tommy & Charlotte more than they do us! They are always sorry to see them leave. We couldn't ask for more for our pets while we are away, we know that they are looked after and given the care, love and attention they need.
Charlotte and Tommy did my horses once a week over the winter. They are 2 lovely people, always friendly and caring, always on time and the work is carried out to a high standard. I really do recommend them to anyone with animals.
Tommy and charlotte have been walking my dogs for a couple of weeks now. All of them especially Mia are very excited to see them and can't wait to go walks, even little sooty who is nervous of new people took to them straight away. For when you don't have enough time for walks a great option for your dogs
