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.

Looking to explore the UK and it's furry inhabitants.
Christian is an exceptional pet sitter and I highly recommend him. Before meeting my two cats, he took the time to ask thoughtful questions and make notes about their personalities, which immediately reassured me that they were in good hands. His care and attention to detail were evident throughout, as he regularly sent me updates and photos while I was away. Not only did he look after my cats with genuine affection, but he also kept my flat spotless. Coming home to such a clean and welcoming space was a delight. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Christian to anyone and hope to have him as a sitter again in the future.

Mature travellers from Australia with extensive housesitting experience
We couldn’t have asked for better sitters. Robin and Ola looked after our pets so well with plenty of regular updates, photos and videos. Our house was also immaculate when we returned. Don’t hesitate to book them for your next sit!

Transatlantic Lovers of Furry Friends!
Matt and Jo were great sitters. Pumpkin was v well looked after and had lots of fuss and attention while we were away. They're very experienced and it shows - they agreed with us what we did and didn't want and need and made sure we had updates and news. The house was clean and tidy and ready for us when we got back. We'd welcome them back any time - highly recommended. A big thank you to you both!!

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.

Caring, Reliable and Respectful Professionals who love pets, people and travel.
We were so pleased and grateful to have Wendy and Mike here. They are very experienced and totally reliable. Wendy sent us copious photos of our dogs who were in fine form on our return and sad to see our sitters leave! Wendy and Mike are a delightful and interesting couple and we would wholeheartedly recommend them.

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!

Freedom is knowing that you can begin again and again and again...
It's been an absolute pleasure to have Simona look after Lola the Cat and the house. Simona is friendly, professional, uncomplicated and a great communicator. It was lovely seeing her bond with my shy cat. The regular photo and video updates really captured Lola's quirky personality. I knew my pet was in good hands. Simona was also very self sufficient and the house was super clean and tidy when I returned. Thank you so much for all your help, Simona. We would love to invite you back for future house sits.
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!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
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!
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!
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!
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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!
Would like to say thank you to all the staff at quality pet care for looking after our Boss for 2 weeks. He has come very happy and looks good. 😊 was worried at first as I have never left him with anyone, but I will be letting others know what quality care was provided in looking after Boss. Thanks to everyone 👍🏼 …
Quality Pet Care have just looked after our Husky/GSD Dexter for 10 days while we were on holiday. They have been looking after my Mum’s dogs for the last few years and came highly recommended. We had a brilliant experience from start to finish, and were able to see updates and pictures while we were away which was so reassuring. Better yet, he came back to us very happy and looked like he’d had a lovely holiday himself! Thank you so much to the staff at QPC for looking after our very vocal and clingy boy. I doubt we’ll use anyone else now!
I have used Quality Pet Care on two occasions now and both times my Doberman has come back so happy and his usual playful self. I was quite nervous about his first stay as he can be quite timid with new people but Brett assured me he settled in really quickly, and I got photo updates to put my mind at ease while I was away. Will continue to use Quality Pet Care for all our holidays away, would recommend them to anyone, and a much nicer alternative to kennels.
My 2 dogs have been away 3 times to Quality Pet Care. They can't wait to go. I have pictures during their stay, and am happier for them to go into a home rather than kennels. Excellent service. Would highly recommend.
*RECOMMEND* Our 10 month old Cockapoo stayed with Tony at Quality Pet Care 9th - 12th May 2019 in Gravesend. We wanted to place our Bailey in a home environment then a kennel, whilst we was away for the first time without our dog Bailey. I must admit it took some getting use to the Quality Pet Care policy. Within their policy of protection we could never meet the carer, have any direct contact with the carer or have any details of the carer other than knowing; carer's name, picture of him outside his house, what town he lives in, his age, and that he was retired. We had to place full trust in Brett and his choice of carer for our dog Bailey. How I am understood, it's to protect their business, carers, insurances and customers. Meanwhile whilst we was away, carer Tony updated Brett daily with pictures of Bailey to send to us (pictures attached is some of the picture sent). It really made us relax and feel rest assured Bailey is ok. Tony even took Bailey for a day out in Knole Park in Sevenoaks. We knew Bailey had 1-1 care. We knew Tony was able to keep Bailey comfortable whilst away with keeping up with his puppy training and routines. When Bailey returned back to us through Brett transporting to and from the carers house. We knew when seeing Bailey he was absolutely fine!! There was no behavior change in him at all!! He was / still a very happy dog! With that response and care whilst we was away, we would use Quality Pet Care again!!
Boo has been with Quality Pet Care 3 times now and has always come back happy, clean, tidy and healthy. She always goes off with Brett fine with no hesitancy. Before we had Boo she wouldn’t even see any human males and now is very relaxed with Brett. This service is wonderful if you have a nervous/sensitive dog way better than Kennels.
We have been using Quality pet care for almost 10 years now and have always been extremely happy with the care our outflow receives. Our dog always seems so excited to see Brett when he is picked up and settles back with us with ease after his time away. We will always use Quality pet care for peace of mind that our dog is well cared for and would highly recommend them.
Our 3 terriers 🥰 Molly the Westie, Bear Bear the Wouzer and Monty Sod the Scottish Terrier. They have been holidaying with Btett/Quality Pet Care for the last 4 years. I can't recommend Brett enough. We get updated photos and information regularly while away, and on their return. We can relax, knowing our pups are in safe hands and loving live ❤️
I have used QPC 3 times now and have a booking for a 4th in the summer. Brilliant service, they came around to our house, met our pets and discussed their routines, likes and dislikes in detail. Both my dogs have loved their stays. Added benefit is the dogs get collected and dropped back to you! Would recommend for anyone looking for a convenient and well-priced dog sitting service!
Our three terriers have been looked after in some ones home from home for the past two years with Quality Pet Care. Spoilt as our three are, we could not bare the thought of them being put in kennels. We know that the person Bret chose to look after our three; will allow them up on the sofa and bed, and give them lots of attention and cuddles, being looked after by someone who is knowledgeable about dogs and their needs; no comparison to being left alone with no human contact in kennels. Our three are only 3 years old and full of energy and mischief! and are used to lots of love and attention. When Bret collected them, they went off with him quite happily; tails wagging and didn't look back, which, as an owner is just what you want. We get updates and photos to show how they are, and we have piece of mind knowing that if there was an emergency and they needed vet care that Bret has his trusted vet nearby. As a family, we would have no hesitation in recommending Bret and Quality Care to look after your dog/dogs. Meaning you can enjoy your break away, safe knowing they will be well looked after. Viki and Steve, Rochester, Kent.
Already like a second home for our dog) When we left Stormy for the first time, we were very worried about how it would be and whether she would be able to cope with the separation from us, but as soon as we came to visit Shirley, everything immediately became clear, the dog will like it here) Before leaving our dog, Shirley invited us to visit so that our dog would have time to get used to the new place, that we would make sure everything was okay and meet her super cute dog Ruby. Shirley sent us pictures of our dog and wrote all the news about our Stormi! We have visited Shirley's 4 times now and know for sure that we will come many, many more times! Thank you Shirley for becoming a second home for our Stoma and a helper for me)
Thank you, Shirley and Tracy ! Our 12 year old cat was very well cared for during the 10 days we have been away. Daily updates from the team put our minds at rest, knowing she was safe and received plenty of cuddles :)
Shirley and her team (Tracy, Daisy and Angela) are absolutely wonderful people and very professional. We have a boy Chow Chow named Patience and he was with Shirley’s care since he was young. There were times that we have last minute requests due to difficulty in our work schedules but Shirley is very approachable and will go out of her way to ensure that Patience is well looked after. We do appreciate it Shirley. Always puts our mind at ease by sending photos and updates throughout the day. We would recommend Shirley and her team to everyone.
Shirley was amazing. From the moment I left my maltipoo with her I felt at ease. On holiday we got daily updates and pictures from her. My little dog looked so happy and settled. Would definitely ask Shirley again to look after her.
We recently brought a puppy and we needed to have someone reliable, friendly and professional who would take care of our new little baby while we were away. We found Shirley and we could not have been happier with the care she provided for our Mario. She went over and beyond to look after him, I got daily updates and photos and nothing was too much trouble for Shirley. Mario is totally comfortable with Shirley and will grow up knowing Shirley. Thank you again for everything and anyone who is looking for someone to take of their dog, We Love Pets is amazing! 😊 Mario can’t wait for his next holiday!
My dog Amber has stayed with Shirley several times now and I never have any concerns about leaving her. It’s obvious that Shirley really loves dogs and takes excellent care of Amber whilst we are away - the regular updates of what she’s been up to are lovely (and sometimes very funny!) It’s reassuring knowing that we can go away and Amber is in completely safe hands. She always returns home happy, waggy-tailed and well loved. Thanks Shirley x
When our original dog boarder had to close her small business during covid, we didn't think we'd be able to find another who would look after our fur baby as if she was her own . Then we found Shirley, who immediately put our minds at rest. She was so friendly and Luna, who can be quite nervous of people, took to her straight away. She showed us all her insurance and registered boarder documents . While Luna is staying with her, she is very good at keeping us updated and providing photos . We'd highly recommend Shirley 🤗
Shirley has been great and set my precious siberian husky with a great dog walker named David. David is so loving to Diesel, really puts Diesel through his paces and leaves me lovely notes regarding the walk they had. Shirley is always available via phone and is always accommodating to last min changes. A great service and people who really do care about the dogs they walk and look after. I would definitely recommend Shirley and her team 😊
Such a great service. Shirley and Tracy are always amazing. The care and attention that is given to my cats is fabulous. They make a fuss of the cats, water my plants and gave me as many updates as I would like! Such a relief to know the cats were in safe professional hands, so liberating not to have to ask family and friends to jump in. Thank you. x
I can’t speak highly enough about Shirley and We Love Pets! My 6 month old Labradoodle couldn’t wait to see Shirley and enjoys his weekly visits. At 8 months he spent 10 days with Shirley and clearly loved every minute. Safe, very friendly and full of fun, our Ralphy has found his second home. Ps, the daily watts app photos and updates are very special 👍🏻. Thank you.
Louise and her team have been amazing with our puppy, Winnie. We live in Greenwich, but are often in Chelsfield to stay with family, and they have been so flexible helping out whenever we need daycare / boarding. She loves to go and comes back exhausted, so we are happy! Prices are very reasonable, too. Would highly recommend.
Louise cared for our two pugs while we went on holiday. The dogs loved her could tell by the photos she sent me. I enjoyed my holiday without worry . I highly recommend louise to new clients she was outstanding.
My little guy Archie is a 1 y/o maltipoo and has been going to doggy daycare here twice a week since he was 6mths. He LOVES it. He has a great time with his doggy friends and adores the staff who take great care of him. He is completely exhausted when he gets home from the day's adventures. I also get him groomed here; he's not a fan so it's nice that it's done by people he knows and trusts. Highly recommend Louise and her team!
I was reasonably happy with padifoots. The walkers are very good and they were always happy to provide updates on my dogs walk when I happened to speak with them. Found the owner to be slightly uncommunicative and forthcoming with information or responding to queries but as my dog loved the walkers i was ok with this. Just been told at 10pm on Sunday that I have 5 days to find a new dog walker as she has moved and will no longer be providing a service to dartford, to say I am fuming is an understatement and I know of other dog owners in my area in a similar position. Moving does not happen overnight and the lack of communication is disrespectful to a loyal client of nearly 3 years. I would not recommend them because of this as you never know when the "goal posts" will change
First of all you need to understand that Lily is my baby and as such, only the best will do for her. That's where Padifoot Pet Care came in. My home life circumstances changed and as such I was going to be spending more time away from home. I went along to meet Louise and to 'check the place out' before committing to leaving Lily in their care, all looked perfect and all my questions and concerns were answered without a flicker of hesitation. Initially I was just looking for someone to look after her a couple of days a week here and there while I was at work. I have to admit that the first few times I was very nervous about leaving her, allowing my mind to wander and imagine all kinds of dramatic scenarios...nothing of the sort happened...in fact, Lily loves it there. As soon as we turn the corner to drive up the road, Lily is alert and making whining noises demonstrating how excited she is to be going there. She has the opportunity to socialise with other dogs, she goes out for lovely long walks and runs around freely with Louise and her team having the time of her life. As I said, it was initially for only a day here and there but it has turned in to much more than that and some weeks she is there every day. She has, on occasions, stayed overnight and again, the first couple of times were the hardest (for me, not her) but she was fine. I love it that she is happy to go there as often as she needs to, I love how friendly Louise, her family and team are and how much care they take of not only my girl, but all the dogs in their care. It makes my day when I see photos posted on their FB page and I can see how much fun she is having. If your dog is your baby and you are having any doubts whatsoever, trust me, this is the place to go, they love and you too will be happy with your choice to take them there. I would definitely recommended Padifoot Pet Care to everyone (in fact, I tell most people I meet about how great it is). If you are in any doubt, just have a look at the photos on their page, Lily is the chocolate lab with only one eye...the one loving life and having a ball!
Padifoot Pet Care are the best in town! You only need to open their front door to see how happy the good boys and girls are, all wagging their tails. As a Home Board, the dogs get the absolute best treatment you could wish for when compared to standard kennels. The dogs are spoilt with lots of toys to play with, sofas to lay on, a garden to run around in, a wooden agility course within the garden, a paddling pool in the hot summer months... the list goes on! The dogs have such an active day, every day, with multiple walks in the local fields and woods, and non-stop playtime with their doggy friends during day care. Padifoot offer grooming services too if your pooch is in need of a wash, dry and trim. The owner has worked with dogs for over 15 years, so really knows what she is doing with the animals, how to take the best care of them, and how to properly deal with any troublesome situations. Your pet will be in the absolute best hands with Padifoot, guaranteed. I would recommend them to anyone.
We have relied on Padifoot for over 3 years now to watch our two kitties, and we've only had good experiences. We recently had to fly out of the country for over 2 months straight, and Padifoot jumped in to keep our kitties feeling safe at home. Louise and her team do a phenominal job, and I highly recommend their service to anyone looking for pet care in the Swanley area!
Padifoot Pet Care has looked after Pebbles since she was a three month old puppy, she’s now six years old. Pebbles is cared for by Louise and her team every day, for a fun walk with some friends 🐾, as well as using the overnight boarding and grooming services. Padifoot offers everything you’ll ever need for the health and well-being of your dog. I have complete trust and confidence in Padifoot and Pebbles and I wouldn’t use anyone else.
Padifoot Pet Care are simply put great. Prince and Emily (both pugs) love it when they get picked up for walks or stay over at the weekend. Louise and her team certainly have a good system and can be trusted. Thanks a lot Louise for your help and even the dog gifts at Christmas! Would highly recommend!
Padifoot Pet Care is so lovely and wonderful. They really look after your pets. My dogs really loves to come and get groomed. They both always look and smell amazing afterwards❤️ thank you 🙂 …
My doberman Thor (18 months) has been walking with Jan and Matt everyday (except lock down of course) since late last year and honestly they have been the best thing to happen to us. Thor absolutely adores them and nothing is to much trouble, he gets the very most out of his walks and always comes home well exercised and very happy. They have got him happily socialising with other dogs, have helped fix his recall issue and generally improved his behaviour all round. Very happy with them, we wont be going anywhere.
Matt is amazing! He clearly loves dogs! He took our energetic young beagle in at late notice and treated him as his own! He knew so much about beagles already and he didn’t mind having Oscar! Matt sent us pictures and videos regularly so while we were away on holiday, we had a peace of mind that our dog was in very good hands. I would recommend Ruffles without any hesitation at all! Thank you Matt
We couldn’t recommend Ruffles highly enough. Matt came to the rescue at very short notice due to a change of plans, to look after our 10 month old puppy and she had the most wonderful time staying here. Matt sent us photos and updates whilst we were away and we knew she was in fantastic hands. They take care of all the dogs as if they were their own, and every time Luna sees Matt and Jan she gets so excited, showing us how comfortable she is with them and how much fun she’s had. We will certainly always use Ruffles for home boarding in the future.
Our very lively, strong and intelligent 2 & a half year old black Labrador Ace stayed with Matt for a week in August for the first time. Matt is a very kind and calm person with a lovely home in a fabulous location. On our meet and greet visit, Ace immediately took to Matt and I could see that he would be very well looked after. His love for dogs is very evident and I was confident that he would care for my boy like his own. Matt sent us regular updates and fantastic photos of their walks and play at home with lots of reassurance that Ace had settled in well. When we picked him up Acecwas very happy, confident and looked well fed and content. We immediately re- booked with Matt to look after Ace for our next trip and would 100% recommend Ruffles. Thanks Matt !
Matt has been brilliant for our Tez! Ruffles has had our puppy regularly for the last 4 months and it has been amazing for his socialisation. Matts house is perfect for dogs with a safe garden and we received photos of our pup every time Matt had him for the day. Would always go back to Ruffles when dog sitting was required.
Could not recommend Ruffles home boarding enough! We went away on holiday for one week and felt completely at ease leaving our little Westie/Yorkie Cross knowing she had her own little holiday at Ruffles. We really enjoyed the daily photo updates of our little dog on her adventures and it really helped us enjoy our holiday knowing she was in such good hands & enjoying herself! Thank you so much for looking after our little girl.
Cannot recommend Matt and Ruffles dog boarding enough. Dexter had a great holiday with them. It's the first time I've ever left him with someone other than family and was a bit nervous. Matt put me at ease straight away and sent lots of pupdates so I knew Dexter wasn't missing me too much! He was exhausted due to the amount of fun he'd had. Thank you for fitting us in at late notice. Dexter will definitely be back
We are so pleased to have found Matt, he recently looked after Archie our springer spaniel who is very excitable, but sensitive. Matt is such a calm relaxed person , Archie really was comfortable with him such a relief , when we picked Archie up we could see how happy he was and not stressed. Matt kept us updated and sent us lots of photos. Archie is already booked in for his next holiday . Thank you Matt
Peanut has a great time staying at Ruffles Home Boarding and is looked after just like she’s at home. We get lots of updates to see how she’s getting on and she always looks very happy. We are delighted to have found somewhere we can feel confident leaving her.
Amazing dog sitters 🐕 My dog has home boarded twice with Ruffles. I have always felt comfortable leaving my dog with Mat. He is so professional and caring. Will always use Ruffles for dog sitting. Highly recommend 🐶😊
Sophie was referred to me by my current cat sitter (who was unavailable for a last minute request). Sophie helped us at the very last minute to visit our house once a day and fed our 4 hungry cats, clean their tray and make sure they are all ok while we were abroad. She is trustworthy, professional, dependable and always sends pictures and little updates once she has been and she even tries to coax them to play, she has since looked after our cats again at last minute and we are so happy to have met her and so grateful for her help with our 4 cats.
I could not recommend Paws Up Pet Care enough. Sophie provides a reliable, friendly and fun walking service for our two dogs. Her punctuality and great communication means i never have to worry. I don’t know what we’d do without Sophie now, she is a very welcome new friend in our dogs’ lives (and ours!).
Sophie is the biggest blessing to our lives! On the odd day where our 🐶 may need seeing to in the afternoon, Sophie pops in plays with him and lets him out for a toilet to break up his day. She is so lovely and caring and send lots of updates of how 🐶 is getting on. Thank you so much Sophie. Extremely recommend!
I recently had the pleasure of having Sophie look after my cat while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the service provided. She took excellent care of my cat, ensuring she was well-fed, played with, and loved. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my furry friend was in great hands. I highly recommend Sophie to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!
If you are looking for someone to walk your dog, I highly recommend Sophie Paws Up Pet Care. Sophie is a very conscientious person. She loves animals and knows how to take care of them. She also posts wonderful photos from her walks.
Sophie came to meet the cats and they obviously liked her vibe! While we were away she sent photos and updates which I found reassuring. I’d definitely recommend Paws Up for peace of mind.
My little lady adores Sophie and gets so excited when she sees her and hears her voice. Sophie is brilliant with her and an absolute life saver for being able to go to the office without worrying about your dog be left too long! Highly recommend her services!
I was so lucky to find Sophie right at the last moment when my cattery let me down. She came and fed my cat Molly twice a day and as well as feeding her and clearing the litter tray she also spent time playing with Molly and sitting down for cuddles. I came home to a very contented cat. Sophie also provides daily updates and photos so you can rest assured while you're you're away that your pet is getting the very best care. I can highly recommend Sophie's services and will definitely be booking her again 😻
Sophie is absolutely amazing with Dougal. He was a nervous puppy walking but Sophie 100% brought him out of his shell and he’s now confident walking with me and with other dogs when out with Sophie. I highly recommend her services as she is so good with Dougal and has a real understanding of dogs. Sophies Dogs is a massive help to me as I work from home and am often on long calls. It’s also a big highlight of Dougal’s day!
Sophie is a really lovely lady and would 100% recommend her, my cats loved seeing her everyday for some cuddles and strokes i felt at ease on my holiday knowing they was in safe hands being looked after, sophie got some great photos everyday of my two cats 😊 …
Wonderful service from Rebekah and Luke looking after our 2 older cats while we were away. Great communication with photo updates and so easy to book and get hold of. Was a nice touch having a meet and greet beforehand to see the cats and explain everything in person. Highly Recommend for anyone in the Medway area.
Our cavapoo Cooper was able make himself at home straightaway on his first ever doggy day care visits to Stay Pawsitive Pet Services. Daily photos reassured us that he was having a great time and was very well looked after. We will not hesitate to use again.
Would highly recommend! Our first time leaving our 4 cats so naturally felt nervous but was quickly put to ease with regular updates of each cat! Our home was left tidy and our cats happy! Would definitely book in again! Thankyou!:)
Thank you so so much for taking good care of our dearest Sam (Sammy/Samuel). Great service and trustworthy! Will recommend to all.
We are absolutely delighted with the service provided by Rebekah, who took excellent care of our furry friend while we were away. She was dependable, friendly, and professional, and kept us updated with photos and messages. Our cat seemed to adore her and was very relaxed and content when we returned. We highly recommend Rebekah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. She is simply the best!😇🥰😻
Rebekah and Luke are great with Cora. They have welcomed her from day one and built confidence with her over time and took the time they needed with letting her off the lead. Would very recommend them both.
Our cat Wilson has never looked at us the way he looks at Rebekah 🤣. He fell completely In love. Rebekah was so friendly and professional. Wilson is a nervous house cat however he lapped up Rebekah’s attention. I felt really comfortable with Rebekah popping in and will 100% be using her services again can’t recommend enough! …
Rebekah and Luke were amazing and looked after our girls well during our time away. The communication was great and we received regular updates which made us feel at ease. We hope to use them in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other pet owners.
Stay Pawsitive Pet Services is our first choice to care for our elderly cat when we go away. He’s got quite a few health issues but Luke is brilliant with him. He (Luke, not our cat!) sends us photos and updates which means we can relax and enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind.
Luke is great with our 2yr old German Shepherd Rex. He has always been so flexible, reliable and trustworthy. It gives us great piece of mind knowing he is well cared for when he is on his walks. Rex loves going out and about off lead. Plus the added bonus of lovely photo updates when they are out having fun on their walks around our local country park. I would highly recommend both Becca and Luke. They are very professional, friendly and accommodating. A* Service.
Above and beyond - Bruno really enjoyed his stay and was well looked after 🐶😊 would definitely recommend and would use Archie’s retreat again ⭐️ …
Rosie had her first meet and greet with this lovely family. She loved the garden! She is looking forward to her longer stay.
Had a really positive experience with Kent dog walkers. We were out for New Years Eve and Jay from Kent Dog Walkers visited and walked our darling Reuben. Put his coat on, washed his paws, gave him his breakfast and gave him lots of hugs. My mind was completely at ease. Fully recommend them.
Absolutely brilliant! I use Kent Dog Walker to look after my elderly dog whenever I go away, knowing she'll be well looked after and cared for. Charlie sends me lots of photos of their walks and she looks very happy while I'm away. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Kent Dog Walker have been brilliant, we’ve used their crèche services and home day care and both have been outstanding. Reliable, flexible, professional and everyone clearly absolutely loves dogs. Jodie and Matt who offer doggy home care have been absolutely fantastic looking after our pup. They’ve taken such good care of her, she’s clearly been incredibly happy and thinks of their house as her second home. I’m pretty sure she actually prefers it to our home! Communication has been excellent, they are both so lovely and they are so reliable which has been a breath of fresh air. I would 100% recommend them to look after your pup.
A 1st class service! My dog Buddy has attended the day creche and also been out on walks with Kent Dog Walker. I received photos of his time there and he was well looked after - thanks Charlie. I would definately recommend.
We looked for a long time to find suitable accommodation for our two Spanish rescues for the times that we go away. Most places we visited were the typical kennels that were outside, offering the dogs a large metal “cell”, with limited daily exercise. We instantly knew this was not for us. We wanted somewhere that was home from home - we also knew that a stranger in our house would not work. After much searching, we came across the KDW doggie hotel. We were instantly blown away. We loved that the dogs would be outside all day and then go to their rooms later. We loved that they would be outside, have human company 24/7 and we loved that if they did not want to go to their rooms alone, they could hang out and sleep in the “common room”. On the occasions that we have left our pups at the hotel, we have gone away, in complete confidence that our pups are being well loved and looked after and having their own holiday! From our initial meet and greet with Jay, he put us and the pups at complete ease - he has been amazing and sends us updates on the pups which is so reassuring when we are away! I could not recommend this place more highly!!!!!!🙂
Charlie was absolutely brilliant with our nervous dog. It was the first time he’s been left with someone he didn’t know already while we went away but Charlie was so flexible with booking him in for some walks and practise stays beforehand so he recognised her first. During our trip I had so many updates and pictures so we always knew he was happy, loved and well looked after. I wouldn’t leave him with anyone else now. Thankyou so much for allowing us to fully relax and enjoy our holiday- and for giving Chase a holiday too, with some social experiences built in! It’s definitely been good for him!
Kent Dog Walker has been a real find! Recommended by a friend's dad. My dog Jack just loves Chloe and she clearly loves him too. He is always so excited when he knows she's coming, so I can't give him too much notice!
We have been using KDW for 3 years now & our dog Bruce absolutely loves his time with them! We use a mix of services that range from walks with Emma (who is so good with him, he always has lots of fun, we receive great pics & updates). If I'm away for longer during the day then he will go to the field with Jay & Co and has a blast running around with his friends. We also use KDW for boarding if we go on holiday, it's a fantastic home from home experience for Bruce and gives me complete peace of mind! I would highly recommend this company to anyone!
We started using Kent Dog Walkers in July , we now use each week , Excellent service always on time , my dogs love Charlie, have used for weekly walks. Boarding over night/weekends . Always kept us updated with photos , always accommodate at short notice, trustworthy, couldn’t be better ,
Charlie and the team were absolutely amazing with my two pups on their first day at day care. The team are so welcoming and it is evident they really care. My two spent a full day at day care and were completely passed out afterwards! It’s a relief to have a local company we trust and will be booking in the future, thank you!
This is by far the best money I have ever invested in my dog’s wellbeing and enrichment. He’s been regularly attending Doggybase Daycare for 6 months and it’s become his favourite place on earth. I fully trust all the staff to take care of his needs whilst there and the effort they go to for all the dogs in their care is above and beyond. My dog has never been so happy.
The most amazing team of people who will truly care and look after your pup. My dog has been going to Doggy Base for some time now and absolutely loves it and can’t wait to get in! He comes home worn out from a lovely day with friends in a secure and safe environment
My dog just loves going to Doggy Base, in fact she doesn't even look back when I drop her off! The team are excellent, very caring and professional, so I know that she is in good hands. I would recommend Doggy Base to anyone.
Hands down, the best place for my dog to go to. She absolutely loves it at day care, howls with excitement when we pull up and charges straight in! The staff are amazing and the fun activities that they all come up with, is just brilliant!
We started to take Nábhla there 3 weeks ago and after being nervous at first (me, not the dog), it’s the best thing we’ve done. She loves being there and it’s great to see the photos of all the dogs enjoying themselves. The team are great and really look after their guests.
Bailey was rejected from another day care as she was too nervous when going for her induction. She wasn't used to socialising with other dogs but is not aggressive. I then took her to Louise at Doggy Base, who wasn't worried about that at all. She now goes 5 days a week and is super comfortable there. I completely trust the entire team here with my baby. The love and care they show for our furbaby is so evident and I know that she is well taken care of. The facilities are great with lots of space to roam. The entire team is also super professional and so welcoming. I cannot recommend Doggy Base enough.
Doggy Base is an amazing place for my dog which we would highly recommend. Our dog has been coming here since it opened and loves it. Facilities are great and I never worry about leaving my dog here. Staff look after him so well, the difference with him going to Doggy Base and other settings is incomparable. All the staff take such good care of him and take time to correct him and to teach him to become a better dog as well as lots cuddles and encouragement. I cannot praise this place high enough. Well done ladies you should be proud of yourselves!
Our miniature Labradoodle, Barley, has been attending Doggy Base twice a week since September. He absolutely loves his time there and we are thrilled that he is so well looked after and loved. He is always tired after a busy day playing, and know how well the day is structured with time to sleep, play etc. Thank you for having him 🐶 …
I took our 8 month old lab, for her induction on Monday. Louise completed our induction & is absolutely amazing so calming & knowledgeable. Baillie our lab is very unsure & non confident around new people / surroundings & dogs. Baillie was instantly relaxed and happy in Louise's company which was fantastic to see. Louise answered all questions with such knowledge she is so professional & you can see she absolutely adores her 4 legged fur friends.. I cannot wait to get Baillie kennel cough boostered so she can start. She is sure going to have fun days with Louise and company. 100% recommended
Absolutely fabulous. Louise is knowledgeable and professional really making me feel confident my dog would flourish. I had a site tour and run through of the structure and how the environment of Doggybase works. I really appreciate the fact I could see the space where my dog would be. Me and my partner are over the moon with how amazing our experience has been, we have no qualms or worries sending our puppa to Doggybase. Can’t recommend them enough and we always look forward to seeing the gorgeous pictures they take of the dogs. It’s so nice and reassuring to see.
Took my parents cat in here, was disappointed that we couldn’t leave anything of hers with her. She’s a nervous thing anyway and a bit of home comfort wouldn’t have hurt. I don’t doubt the care she received was second to none as she came home happy which is why I gave four stars, I just can’t shake the upsetting feeling of leaving her without anything from home.
We did use them for doggy day care ,but due to lack of need they had to stop the home collection service . However we still use their grooming services and have never had any issues . My wife would go mad if anthing happened to her fur babies so she always checks things carefully . Plus they have a small shop on site where you can get dog food and toys etc.
I have used the Nook for my 2 dogs, Gigi & Rocky, several times. The team are always extremely professional, making sure all my paperwork & vaccinations are up to date. My babies are always happy when they come home, and you can tell they have been well looked after by a team that genuinely care about the animals. I never worry about them when I'm away, and will continue to use The Nook as they have my full confidence.
Have been using The Nook Kennels for more years than I can remember. The Staff are great & both my dogs have loved going to stay with them.
Would not recommend. No care and attention to our two cats. Will never come back. If I could rage it 0 star I would.
Our cat Oscar had his 1st stay away from home here and we could not be happier with how it is. He was calm relaxed and made very at home. Staff were friendly and reassuring as we had not left him anywhere in the nearly 10 yrs we have had him so we were very anxious. The staff were very good with us. Thank you very much
We have booked our pet in for next year. Staff are very professional, looking forward to taking our pet there.
Chose to use The Nook as it had the better reviews in the area but I wouldn’t take my cat back here. The place seemed alright, but the staff have put me off, not very welcoming, they’re straight to the point and don’t really tell you much. On drop off, after we did any paperwork etc. my cat was just kind of taken but I didn’t get a ‘thank you, bye’ or anything, just walked off and that was it, so I guess it was time to leave. When picking up, I didn’t get any feedback on how he’d been, whether he’d been eating. When asking about how he’d been I just got told ‘he’s cute’ which doesn’t really tell me anything. When entering the office it was just a case of taking the rest of my money and bye. Wouldn’t recommend The Nook to friends or family
As a regular happy customer for over 5 years I was utterly disgusted a month ago when I put my cat in the Nook for 9 days for a holiday The night before leaving I was v unwell an had to spend the night in hospital and having to cancel a much needed holiday I was up all night and got home at 5 am My cousin Collected my cat at 1 pm and tragically only 5 hours later he was hit by a car and I had to race to the vets very unwell with my beautiful boy and sadly put him to sleep . Our pets are our family members . I lost my parents and this little cat was my anchor - always there after a hard day caring I went to the cattery a day later visibly distressed still unwell but in order to let the people know , I thought they may care - silly me! I needed to cancel a December booking I had The lady I had always dealt with was busy with a customer and I really needed to get out of there as I was upset . I spoke to a man I had never seen before and said cancel the future booking and explained the awful incident I just asked if there was any money to come back as I had paid 9 days and my cat was there 24 hours. I really wasn’t bothered because I always pay up front and dont even know the daily rate - it is not important my animals care it the priority. However most businesses would make a gesture of goodwill under the exceptional circumstances I told him what had happened and just asked - he had no compassion at all and was very indifferent and just said no - I said even under the awful circumstances-?? And he said “Well if you hadn’t had him collected it wouldn’t have happened would it “ !! I now am concerned that my cat may not have been treated in a cari g way The staff are curt dismissive - it’s a business I left sobbing and felt like ending it Words are powerful and if you are in the business of cari h in any way Animals People kids then just treat as you would want your family treated We blame ourselves with what if this what if and for him the owner to say such an awful disgusting callous thing is unforgivable I felt better this week and felt I needed to speak to the Nook and ask why they felt it was ok to say that and get an apology as a minimum I spoke to a guy not the owner who was utterly defensive had no idea how to deal with a complaint I was told that I took it the wrong way !!! I was told that he was joking and didn’t mean it !!! I mentioned if I had arrived with a man he would have been pulled up - the guy said yeah and you probably would have got an apology!!! In what World is there a joke In blaming someone for the death of their pet? As a nurse would I say something like that to a patients relative who lost their mother Father? No I would be struck off . Just to finish NO APOLOGY NO REMORSE, NO NOTHING I will never refer another dog or put any of my animals anywhere near these people Callous uncaring and unapologetic Be aware!
This is the first time we’ve used a kennel - opting to leave our Springer with either a friend or dog boarder previously. Not sure what we expected but while staff engagement was cordial it was hardly welcoming. All we had to go on was that my parents had used the Nook for their dog for one night just before Christmas - and all seemed fine. . When we dropped our dog off on the Sunday a guy just came right up to him quite fast with a lead - no friendly hello or anything - literally looped the lead over the head and walked him away. Our dog was a little unnerved by that as were we. Within a matter of minutes the guy was back in reception - so no time at all spent settling in from what we could see. We messaged during the week to make sure he was ok and all we got back was a three word yes all good. As we had booked him in for a groom on his last day we were told not to arrive before 3pm. We were only coming from Center Parcs Woburn and had allowed 3 hours to do a journey half that. We were hit by several accidents and it was touch and go whether we would make it by 5pm - we emailed and phoned around 3:30pm and we were told there was no leeway and that they shut at 5pm. If we missed this time it would need to be the following morning - we live in SW London. Luckily my elderly mum was able to get our dog - she was helped with getting him into her car on request. Our dog had indeed been groomed but I would say he was more butchered - in truth you would get a better one at Pets at Home. He was not hygiene shaved either which we had requested. My wife has just spent the last hour of so this evening trying to tidy him up a bit better. Clearly lots of people seem happy with the Nook and maybe our expectations were possibly a little too high as it was a kennel and more a lesson to ourselves. We would probably have been a bit happier had he been welcomed better - I would not say we’re overly precious pet owners either.
