Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

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!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
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.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
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!!:)
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least £15 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Our dog loves coming to stay here. He’s always well looked after and the staff are lovely
Chloe does a great cut ,wash, and dry on my two westies! Highly recommend
Took great care of my dogs. Really happy with the grooming that Chloe did. Not an easy task with two hairy doodles!
Following up from Spey's little stop over. What a fab place, great customer service, Sarah is loved by Spey, he enjoyed nothing more than running around the estate. Excellent kennels for all types of dogs, definitely recommend Sarah and team to anyone wishing to kennel their pets 👍 …
What a great place this is. Lots of space for the dogs to run about with fantastic agility equipment and toys. Will definitely be booking to go again. Thank you 🐶x …
Good service, the road is a farm road so you have to take it easy. .
So happy with Nalas cut xx Thankyou xx
Looked after my boy with lots of love and care ❤️
Lovely smelling doggy and very friendly staff.
Went to Pearl's seeking rain coats for my dogs. They were really helpful in recommending which coats for their sizes, affordable and great value for money. My pups will be cosy this winter. Thank you, will be returning and do recommend 😊 …
Wonderful! Such a great pet care shop, with great service from smiley staff! They have such a huge range of products for most pets you can think of and I have never once left without getting what I went in for. Pearl and her team are incredibly professional and can advise on treatments or a course of action in most circumstances regarding your pet. I would thoroughly recommend pearls pet care to anyone 😊
Great service always provided by Pearl & her staff. We have used her pet sitting service over the last three years and always found her very reliable. Our dogs are happy in her care, meaning we can relax when we are on holiday.
Pearly is a gem and full of knowledge. Lovely little shop jam packed with goodies. Filled to the brim with everything you could need for an animal. Set out in a way its easy to see everything. The TARDIS of pet shops.
Helpful owner, small store with all the essentials but didn't have everything I needed . Space is just very small so hard to see things sometimes
Absolutely love Pearl's! The staff are very friendly and helpful and our pooches are always happy with the goodies :)
Best pet shop around. Stocked with everything you could need and always friendly service. Couldn't recommend more 🙂 …
Pearl is always welcoming when you arrive at the store with a lovely smile she helps me alot so thanks to staff at pearls pet shop forres from Robbie
Pearl's a lovely lady very helpful and understanding about pets and their food stuffs. Reason prices in shop.
Pearl is fantastic, if she doesn't have what you need she gets it in for you, always friendly and helpful.
Left out dog for a day whilst we were on holiday so we could take the kids to highland wildlife park. Excellent communication leading up to the day, took time to learn about my dog and picked up a happy dog at the end of the day. Thank you 😊 …
Best kennels, around.very friendly. Unlike other kennels they take the dogs out in the evening aswell, highly recommend 👌. Only thing I'd say you need to book well in advance . …
Simon and Paula run the most wonderful business and I cannot thank them enough for the fantastic service they provide. I have two great working cockers and they just love the break at Blackhillock Boarding Kennels. It is so evident that they get great attention, entirely appropriate exercise and first rate food. Thank you for looking after the boys so well and they are packed and ready for their next visit!
This is the only place for my dogs where we can rest assured that they have the best care and attention. Paula and Simon are absolutely fantastic and have "a way with dogs" which is not a commonly found attribute.
The lady was so lovely. Showed myself and husband around, then the dogs. Took them to the paddock where they are out 5 times daily. Spotless place and very helpful. Had bad experience with a kennel before and she's totally put my mind at ease.
My dogs love coming here for their holidays, even my 15yo bichon gets excited when we get there, and she always hated going into kennels. Super service.
Great home away from home for.your beloved canines. Mr and Mrs Chase are fantastic with my dogs and me. They're naturally good hearted, my dogs enjoyed their stay and happy to come back.
Couldn't ask for better, pets are so well looked after.
Our experience of Blackhillock was great. It was our first Kennel experience and we went there from Elgin, upon recommendation. Plenty of 'free' time for the dog, he came back contented, not having learnt to bark frequently by copying other dogs and he smelt clean and was fluffy! Our satisfaction was confirmed when Paula could remember some 2 years later that we had once used their Kennels and upon arrival as soon as the boot was opened Quito bounded out to meet the owners and went with them tail high and wagging. If you plan to give them a go, do book well in advance to avoid disappointment.
Wonderfully friendly family run business. Great facilities with your dog's welfare central to their business. You can trust them implicitly with our spoilt little pooch.
Fantastic place, it's like leaving our boys with family. They always thoroughly enjoy their visits, which means we can enjoy our holidays knowing they are being treated like royalty.❤
Perfect service every time! Very accommodating to special requests and flexible to changes to plans. They let me leave my cat plenty of home comforts such as scratcher and blanket. The pens have in indoor section with a cat flap through to a much more spacious outdoor section than other catteries.
Great place for the dogs. I’ve been boarded my two dogs there whenever I am away for over seven years now and they are well looked after and always come out happy. They trot in there like it is their second home and know that they will be loved and cared for.
Lovely place, excellent staff, my dogs were well looked after. Would definitely use them again.
Very friendly place, our dog was so happy staying there
Used the kennels for day care for a few days whilst we were on holiday. We have a rescue greyhound who is a reluctant kennel visitor but was clearly very well looked after here. Staff were all lovely, no hesitation with using again if we were in the area. Highly recommend. Thank you for looking after him and giving him his cuddles so we could enjoy a few attractions in the area with our children that we couldn't have done with him.
I can recommend Rosevalley Boarding Kennels 100%... they were absolutely brilliant. As a new pet cat owner and never having used a Cattery before I was very anxious and worried my wonderful fur baby would be unhappy or distressed by my absence. The staff listened to me and were amazing! My cat was happy, calm and settled both on arrival and departure. They clearly do a fantastic job and I will definitely be booking my pet in again, in future. Thank you so much Rosevalley. They care about you and your pet and it really shows. Well done everyone....from a very satisfied customer.
My kittens stayed for 2 weeks... they made there selfs at home. Settled in very well and they where well looked after ..
My dogs (aged 13 and 6) have now been in twice recently never having been in kennels before. My oldest dog has a strict dietry regime and medication twice a day. This was absolutely no problem for the kennels. I got a good report on how their stay had been. Will definitely be using them again
This place is probably the best kennel in the area. Both my spaniels were there for 10 days, I was very concerned for my younger one this was her first time in a kennel. They have come back happy, relaxed and quite content. The staff are real animal lovers and it comes across in the way they communicate and most important of all your babies come home happy. Very reasonably priced for the attention and walks they get. If you want to go away stress free, look no further and use them! Absolutely brilliant and thank you for looking after Iona & Tiree so well!!
Owner is rude and gave one of my dog’s medication she is allergic to without going to vet for advice during their stay. Owner decided that she knew better than vet, changed food my dogs were own and put them on starvation diet which caused multiple health problems. When asked to follow the advice given by vet the owner accused me of trying to kill my dogs. Would not recommend.
Have used this kennel on several occasions. First time I used I gave the owner some constructive feedback that it might be useful to give a information handout to people on the rules as I had spent time making and freezing homemade food for my dog only to find when we got there it wasn’t allowed and therefore I had no food for my dog ready when we were just about to go on holiday. I had mentioned the home cooked food when viewing the kennels and wasn’t told it was a problem. Owner seems to have held a grudge about this and has been rude to me about my dogs when collecting on a couple of occasions. First the bed they had was a problem or that they are running around when I’ve picked them up (as dogs do when excited to see their owners). I wasn’t given a chance to put them on leads as they use slip leads also. Won’t be using again now. Dogs hardly get out all day anyway so I wasn’t that enthused about using but they always seem to have availability short notice. Maybe that’s why!! Woman slammed the door in my face when I said I didn’t like how rudely I’d been spoken too. Awful customer service.
Very happy dogs. Well looked after, loved being there and our diabetic Schnauzer was really taken care of, with her meds administered as required. Came home just as healthy as she went in. Cant rate the friendly staff highly enough. Will certainly be back.
Our first impressions were well founded.A Beautiful setting with a warm and friendly welcome from everyone. My three poodles were very well cared for and were on great form when we collected them. A huge thank you to everyone involved in their care. I have no problem recommending your lovely kennels to anyone who needs to use your facility. Once again our sincere and grateful thanks.
These are, by far, the best kennels I have ever used. They are clean, warm and modern. Dogs are happy to be there and are very well looked after. Owners treat them like their own. I can travel knowing that I don’t have to worry.
Left four dogs for a fortnight, all very happy and well looked after, the old boy wanted to go back to his kennel, I will definitely be using them again
Lovely friendly welcome and I had my 10 year old westie Mac in for 9 nights. He was very well looked after and mixing with other dogs on walks which was great as he’s wary off other dogs since being attacked twice when 4 months old but here it wasn’t a problem for him. Excellent very modern facilities in lovely farm setting. Will definitely be returning with Mac next time I’m going away.
A Greek street dog, called Winnie.... The kennels have worked so hard over the last 12 months to ensure our stray dog felt safe and loved. Amazing job by Will and Judith and a special shout out to Fiona and the rest of the carers. We have been on holiday for 16 days....Best kennels in the area...don't hesitate..we feel proud to post this review.
Love this kennel and feel very confident leaving my dogs when going away for short periods of time. They cater to dogs with different needs and genuinely love taking care of them.
Nice calm clean kennels. Owners lovely. Our dog is nervous of strangers but quickly made friends!
Our dogs always come back from staying at the kennels happy! Great price and really clean facilities. Wouldn’t put our dogs anywhere else
I have been using Croft Pets (Sue) for quite some time and have absolutely no hesitation in providing this positive review. Both my dogs love going out with Sue and staying in her home. Sue is professional and and provides a fab service which is very much valued by me and my dogs. Thank you!
I regularly use Croft Pet Services for my two bunnies when we have to be away. Sue is brilliant, looks after them so well, such a kind hearted person who you can see just loves the animals. We never worry at all, as Sue is so trusted, we know our pets are in great hands. Highly recommended!
We have used Sue's service when away from home and have always been absolutely delighted with Croft Pets. Reliable, caring and a pleasure to deal with, we could always be confident that our pet was being loved and well looked after. Someone who goes the extra mile and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Sue is very reliable and has great communication. Very trustworthy with our two dogs who she visits regularly for us. It’s a relief knowing they get their mid-day wander!
Fabulous service! Sue walks my dog regularly at least once a week. Also, my dog has stayed with Sue in her home quite happily, even though she is quite a clingy dog, completely indifferent to strangers. Sue’s quiet, calm manner will give reassurance to nervous dogs. Sue is reliable, friendly and professional. We are lucky to have her!
Our cat is quite elderly and needs medication so we worry about leaving her but thankfully we are able to call on Sue at Croft Pet Services. She is very professional and follows your instructions but you can tell that she is also affectionate and caring towards your pet. We would 100% recommend her services.
Our cats adore Sue and when we have to go away it is with complete confidence that they are looked after so well and with kindness. Flexible service which has helped us during extended periods and family emergencies, we cant recommend Croft Pets highly enough.
Thank you so much Sue, for always taking great care of our cat while we are away, it is lovely for him to be able to stay in his home and be comfortable rather than going to a cattery. Everything is kept clean and tidy for us when we get back. You always manage to fit us in even a last minute break at Christmas - Thank you 😊 …
Sue walks our bouncy flat coat Jura weekly, she is reliable and very flexible to our needs for extra walks etc. We love the fact Jura gets a proper off lead run around and Jura is delighted to see Sue. Would definitely recommend.
My dogs, past and present, all love Sue! Reliable and flexible, even at short notice. Highly recommend her.
It's hard to find somewhere you trust with your pets when they're rescue dogs and a bit nervous but Brumley Brae have been brilliant. They even took my diabetic dog straight to vet when he wasn't looking well and definitely saved his life. My other dog Rebel is very scared of people but is always so happy to come to stay and goes with all staff with a very happy tail and no looking back!
We have arranged for our 2 cats to be boarded here for 28 days whilst we relocate from overseas back to Scotland. The staff here have been very helpful, professional and caring throughout this difficult process. The cats are housed in large separate runs with cat flap to external areas again separate. The cattery / kennels are in extensive grounds conveniently located just outside Elgin. Opening times are restricted to ensure care for animals. Highly recommended as an excellent cat / dog boarding facility..not cheap but worth every penny for the care and peace of mind. We can readily make regular visits during operating hours.
The only kennels I’ll use! Hamish loves his visit every time. He gets so excited to go, and he’s always happy when I collect him. My mind is at ease knowing he’s being looked after - despite his occasional behaviour issues - the staff are wonderful.
Looked after our Vizsla for a week in October holidays. She is shy being a rescue dog and we lost her brother Max middle of the year so we're quite apprehensive about leaving her. Staff were very reassuring and we left her and felt at ease. Staff even kept in touch whilst we were away to give us an update. Dog was exercised regularly and given one to one interaction. Would definitely use again. Thank you
Just got my dogs back and can clearly see they were looked after, they haven't put any weight on at all and are their usual lively selves. Their stay was also fairly short notice and the friendly staff were more than helpful and communicative. Will use again for sure! Thank you!
Everything you need to have peace of mind when leaving your 4 paws family member.
Staff are always very welcoming and pleasant when our cats are dropped off. Cats are well looked after and there have never been any issues. Always very accommodating
Super helpful team who I trust to look after our family pets when we're away each and every time. Great service and a really nice pet friendly/safe environment. Spot on each and every time. Thank you!
Our cat Felix has been going there for the last 8 years. I won't take him anywhere else. The staff are lovely and friendly and care a lot about all the animals. Very reasonable priced too. Would definitely recommend this to anyone for their Pets.
Our dog Snap always enjoys his stay and has no reservations about his accommodation. the staff are always welcoming and helpful. The fact that our dog likes them and them him is testament to their ability to form friendships and to look after any animal. Thank you Brumley Brae
