Damian is looking for House and Pet Sitting all over the UK and the planet
This is the second time Damian has sat for us. Bryher , on our return always looks happy, cared for and content. We are hopeful he will be able to help us again in the future. We would not hesitate to have him back again.

We are a British couple on a gap decade, full time pet sitting around the world
We really appreciated that Tammy and Mark arrived a day early which gave us all plenty of time to get to know one another and most importantly gave our cat time to adjust and for them to learn his habits and demands! They were very considerate whilst we were still at home and gave us time to ourselves to get ready for our holiday. Whilst we were away they sent us updates and fantastic photos of our cat so we could see he was happy and well cared for. Having just moved house this was a reassurance for us. Tammy and Mark were our first sitters and we cannot praise them highly enough. They were very accommodating especially as we had only moved in the week before. Most importantly our cat loved them and was totally relaxed with them. We have no hesitation in recommending Tammy and Mark and would welcome them back to look after our cat in the future knowing that our pet and our home would be well looked after. As a bonus they cooked us a fantastic welcome home meal which we thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated after a long flight delay and were kind to get milk and bread in for us. Thank you again Tammy and Mark for your care of our cat and your good company.

Travelling couple (holistic coach & winemaker) seeking housesits globally!
Danielle and Christian stayed in our house with our elderly cat for 5 days. We met them before going on our holiday and immediately warmed to them. They clearly were self-sufficient although not having a car (they came to Scotland by air, from Cornwall) and made good friends with the now-retiring cat right away (not so easy as one might assume!). They managed in the house perfectly, and our WhatsApp communications left us entirely at ease. The house was clean and all fine when we got back and Cookie was clearly content too. D and C are busy people but if they do apply to an invitation of yours, we have no hesitation in recommending that you take them on! J&H

Retired couple with a passion for caring for pooches!
Another superb sit by James and Maria. I can not recommend them more highly and Mabel adores them and her wonderful adventures when they are looking after her. She had a minor issue with her eye while I was away, Maria gave me regularly updates and they kindly took Mabel to the vet to get drops. I will be planning my 2025 holidays around their availability! Huge thanks once again.

Not so secret cat lady (but also has a soft spot for doggos).
Christiana was awesome, so friendly, clean and tidy, and the cats loved her :) One of our cats is asthmatic and needed his inhaler every day, and Christiana was so kind and did this with him happily. We would love for her to come and stay again, and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Flexible full-time house sitter. Can travel far & wide!
Fabulous Fay! We needed to find a sitter who was willing to do 2 sits for us, with only 2 weeks in between. The first sit would be for our 9 year old labrador cross, our daughter's 11 month old retreiver, 4 goats, chickens and a duck....A big ask! As soon as we chatted to Fay on a what's app call, we knew she would be perfect. Unfortunately our dog Molly was diagnosed with bone cancer not long before our holiday, Fay took all our anxieties in her stride and assured us that Molly would be well looked after and that she had no problems administering Molly's daily painkillers. We also have a chicken with a nasty infection on her leg and Fay was perfectly happy to catch her each day and treat it with antiseptic . Whilst away, we received daily updates and photos of the dogs, who certainly didn't look as if they were missing us! Fay had to leave for another sit an hour before we arrived home (this had been agreed in advance ) we exchanged our hand over on whats app and on our arrival, we found the house to be immaculate and all the animals well looked after and happy. We are looking forward to Fay's return in 2 weeks for her 2nd sit and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

It was a pleasure having Tanya. Cats were happy and the house as we left it! Communication was easy and she was also super flexible with a date change - thanks Tanya!

Reliable and experienced sitters!
Naomi was great- wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her and her little boy, she kept in touch and left our home near and tidy. Thank you!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
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.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
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.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.

Ruth and Denis run an excellent kennels - a great 5 star hotel break for Ella, our beautiful Bearded Collie, when the occasion arises. Ella arrives with delight, tail wagging, as we drive up to the main gate - and when we come to collect her she's happy because she loves us but it's obvious that she's had a really good time in her holiday home. It's important to know that there is a place such as Joppa which you can trust to look after your dog.
Booked my dog here whilst we went away, no problems, dog seemed happy. Very good overall 😀 …
Our two dogs had a brilliant time, from when we dropped the off to collection we felt safe in the knowledge that they'll be looked after. Our eldest hadn't been kennelled for over 8 years so we were a little worried he might not settle, but he had company so we didn't feel to bad. The owners made us feel welcome, easy to find. Only constructive criticism I would say is to have a buzzer on the gate and let cars in rather than park in the gate area, luckily no one was behind us as no room to park 2 cars.. Plus lane is narrow. The main thing is our dogs came back fur and healthy so all good. We'll use them again if we need to...
Milo has loved his week stay here he's had so much space to run and just be left to wander and do his own things (including being a bit naughty not coming back in from his field run) Thabks so much and we will see you again in 6 weeks 😀 …
Our cat has just returned from Joppa after an 11 day stay, happy, healthy and settled. We use this cattery every time we go away, as we know Selphie will be well looked after and come home just as happy and loving as she was when we left her. Thank you to you all for caring for her when we go away.
Handy dog kennel near lands end airport, my dog was on for two weeks, came out nice and relaxed, no issues. Good value for money. Kennels is down some very small country roads so definitely one for the sat nav
Really disappointed with the kennel! I have called during the week to secure a dog daycare for when we are in the area in a couple of days (bank holiday in August). They confirmed it will be all fine and to give a ring a day before to confirm the drop off time, which I did only to find out they’ve sold all spaces to other travellers for longer terms ie. 2-3 nights etc rather than a day daycare so don’t have spaces for a day as it’s less efficient for them… I mean, how unprofessional is this? We were left without any dog care, as none of the kennels got last minute spaces. Really disappointed since we came all the way from London…
Really friendly owners who obviously really care about dogs. My two Jack Russell's were very happy here. The owner lives on site with their own two dogs who are there to greet you.Best kennels I've used.
All my dogs have boarded there, lovely owners, lovely staff, but!!!...most importantly, my dogs love it.
I'm so sorry, but I was extremely upset at the condition of my pet when I collected him after staying at Joppa for just one a week, where he immediately yelped in pain, as he tried to urinate, in full view of the proprietor.. Who was quite dismissive of his obvious discomfort. According to my vet, he had suffered a trauma to the eye & stomach, most likely from slipping on thier slippery kennel floor He had no apitight, could not go to the toilet, was dehydrated and had obviously lost a large amount of weight.. It took over 10 days for him to fully recover.
Lovely spacious kennel, with secure playing field, all tucked away in fields. Boarded both my dogs for 1st time. Was worried as 1 of them isn't easy to handle, but all was absolutely fine. Sam is just the kind of person I was hoping for Would be happy to leave them at westwind any time 😊 …
Stayed here for the first time earlier this year and will always use Sam from now on. I don't think my dog wanted to leave! Highly recommended.
Sam's great, and our young dog Mabel had a brilliant time there, playing with her new friends. Sam sent us a couple of videos whilst we were on holiday (which was an added bonus, and really thoughtful of Sam) and we couldn't believe how much Mabel was enjoying herself (the traitor) - you could see she was having an absolute blast. This really put our minds at rest, so we could relax and enjoy our holiday. And the fact that it's a small kennels is good too - Sam has the time to play with and thoroughly exercise all the dogs in her care, and the dogs get to make good friends, and to spend plenty of time playing with them. So we've found Mabel's permanent holiday hotel, and we're very pleased. Thanks, Sam.
I have 2 border collies one of whom can be highly reactive with people he doesn't know and I didn't think we'd ever be able to use kennels. And then a well respected dog trainer recommended that I try Sam at West Winds. From the first time I met her I knew that Sam was right for my dogs. Three years on & I wouldn't go anywhere else. My dogs love her, they leap out of the car when we get there (they know where the toys are kept!!), the kennels are spacious & clean, the dogs are well exercised and most importantly for me they are understood, well looked after & all of their needs are met. I would recommend Sam and her kennels to anyone who wants peace of mind when they can't look after their dogs themselves.
We have been using Westwinds Boarding Kennels now for 5 years and highly recommend Sam and her family and definitely would not go anywhere else. The kennels are a great size and always spotless. Our rescue boy Bob has a few behavior issues and Sam and her mum are fantastic with him and in return he enjoys his stays and we have peace of mind. Thank you so much we really do appreciate your kindness and professional approach to our boy.
We have used Westwinds Boarding Kennels on several occasions over the past few years and I cannot recommend enough the care and commitment that Sam gives to all her guests. They are treated with the same care and love that she gives to her own pets I have left 2 of our beloved pets with Sam and each time they have boarded together and been thouroughly exercised with several walks per day on the beach and around the lanes, my eldest collie Benji has separation issues but has taken to Sam and will follow her around as if she were his owner, I secretly think if he could he would let her " adopt" him permanently. We last used Westwinds in 2016 for a long stay in late March which required a late drop off and late collection all done without any additional charges Basically Sam loves your pets and your pets will love Sam. If my wife will entrust Sam with our babies then that is recommendation enough.
Only boarding I would use for my boy, Sam & her family are fantastic. Always very accommodating with drop off collection times. Kennels are cosy & well maintained. Our boy has many special needs ie. Diet, medication etc, so goes to Sam with a list of instructions!! This has never been a problem. We have a very nervous dog, who is always happy to stay at Westwinds, so this speaks for itself. On collection we can tell he has enjoyed his holiday too. Highly recommended
We have taken our two GSDs there several times, including one when my boy was six weeks into recovery from cruciate implant surgery. Sam knew exactly what to do to look after him, in fact our vet confirmed our confidence in her knowledge & care. They are happy & relaxed in her company, greeting her with joy when they see her. There are very few people I would trust with our two, Sam is one of them.
Our Munsterlander, Charlie, has stayed at Westwinds many times. He’s been in several different kennels in various parts of the country in his relatively long life (nearly fourteen now). He's a sociable but sensitive soul, and Westwinds is one of the very few boarding kennels where he’s been consistently happy to go: he always runs up to Sam with his tail wagging when we drop him off! We never leave him anywhere else now. During the time Charlie has boarded regularly with Sam he’s had both knees replaced, and though these were fine for the first three or four years, more recently he’s got a lot slower and his kidneys are now failing: he’s on quite a complex drug regime and a special diet, and Sam has taken this in her stride. We’re always very happy to leave Charlie in Sam’s care, and as I said he’s always pleased to see her. My wife and I would heartily recommend Westwinds without any reservations, and so would Charlie!
Sadly I cannot recommend Westwinds. When talking to Sam when I booked I was confident that our 2 dogs (one a 5 month old puppy) would be well looked after. When we contacted to arrange collection Sam had changed the rules and we had to leave them an extra night. Not collecting them on the saturday pm would have been fine IF she had said that in the beginning. They were smelly. Old dog had been overfed despite instructions on quantity, pup had gummy eyes despite warning that she may need eye drops. Will not return.
