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

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

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

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

Responsible, clean, professional Artist, looking for quiet time to write.
Natalie was wonderful. Left our kitty and house in a lovely state. comms were easy and received updates daily. She was kind enough to stock up on some pet food tins as we'd run out, which we appreciated greatly.

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.

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.

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

CLIVE & GILL 2 NON SMOKERS AVAILABLE FOR HOUSESITTING. PETS VERY WELCOME!
We met with Gill and Clive prior to our trip and were very happy. They were very friendly and engaging and our dogs instantly bonded and played. Gill and Clive arrived on the day of our trip as planned and provided updates every couple of days during our trip, putting our minds at rest. Upon our return, our house was very clean and tidy and Gill had very kindly provided us with some basic essentials (bread, milk & eggs). Our dogs were happy and it was clear they had been very well cared for. We could not recommend Gill and Clive any higher to other zeewoi members.
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
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!
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!
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!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
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 🙂 …
Lucy has been looking after our pets for a few years now and it’s always been great! She is all the things you want when you entrust your precious critters to someone - diligent, responsible, sensitive and a natural with animals. I highly recommend her to anyone.
Little Critter Care is a wonderful organisation - giving complete service to the little pets left in their charge. My indoor cat was very happy to be visited and Lucy took time to feed, play and groom him - to say nothing of regular picture updates of his antics ! It meant I was able to fully relax during my weekend away which was very special and much appreciated. Highly recommended if you are going away this summer !
We have a border terrier named Lily. When I say we have, she is really like another member of the family! She is now 15 but still going strong and can go for long walks, however she cannot hear and cannot see very well anymore......so when we have to go away for a few days we want her to be in good hands! Lucy has always been the perfect person for looking after her. Lucy loves animals, and when she comes around Lily is so happy and excited. Plus, Lucy knows every pet is different, and she has a lot of experience and common sense. I would highly recommend Lucy to everyone who needs a pet sitter.
Lucy is the most incredible pet sitter ever. Our guinea pigs live when she comes to look after them. Additionally she’s been taking the most onerous part of owning pets off my hands by cleaning them out weekly. The hutch is always immaculate afterwards. She’s incredibly trustworthy and great with communication. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We’re all gutted she’s moved from the area!
Lucy is absolutely brilliant, so reliable and cares for pets as if they were her own! I knew we'd found somebody special when she came to meet our pet rats beforehand and was super thorough with their needs and any additional information we needed to provide, making really detailed notes. She provided daily photos and videos for us which was really lovely :) Highly recommended to look after any much loved pets! Thank you Lucy :)
Little Critter Care / Lucy has been our go-to pet sitter for a number of years now. She has always been professional, reliable and most importantly very caring with our cat. I would recommend her service to anyone needing pet care services in the area! S
We've had the pleasure of having Lucy look after our hamster (Katie) while away on holiday a couple of times now and we are so impressed by how professional, caring and thorough she is. The daily updates are great and really help ease the mind when away. She's also been a great fountain of knowledge with our hamster when I've had questions around care/health. Thank you Lucy!
I feel so relaxed being away from Peppa when I know Lucy is looking after her. Lucy is very professional and reliable and I know she cares about my feline daughter. When you hire Lucy, you know your pet is safe and happy. The daily updates are appreciated and put your mind at rest. I highly recommend Lucy's services for your beloved animal friends.
Lucy has been trimming our rabbits nails regularly. One of our rabbits is very nervous but Lucy is very good and calm with them. She is reliable and really helpful, gives us suggestions and helps with our general questions about rabbits! We would definitely recommend her.
Lucy has been walking our two dogs for several years and she also dog sits when we are away. She looks after them so well, clearly loves animals, and is always 100% reliable.
Our piggies had a lovely time with Kerry during their stay! Our girls missed their pets but were happy to see pictures & videos of them online and to see that they were happily running about & eating their veggies. Would definitely recommend this lovely little pet hotel. Sweet little place and all the animals looked as though they were well looked after. Thank you so much, Kerry! From Pepper & Pickles xx
Kerry is such a heartwarming person and looked after our bunnies as though they were her own! She made the process easy and was very accommodating. We recieved updates which put our minds at rest and with photos and videos we could tell they enjoyed their own holiday at Kerrys Pets. Thank you 😊 …
Highly recommend Kerry’s pet hotel. Our rabbit, Tsuki has such a fun time, and was very spoilt. Kerry knows her pets, so you don’t have to worry about them at all, they will be well looked after! Tsuki will definitely be going back for another stay soon, we wouldn’t leave him anywhere else!
First time having our rabbits boarding anywhere. My partner visited to see if it would be the right fit for them and found it was. Kerry is a lovely person and clearly loves animals. While we were away we were provided with updates so we knew they were in good hands and put our minds at ease! Thank you for looking after Don and Lola! I'm sure they gave you more trouble than you let on! They are very naughty rabbits!
Kerry and Linda are fabulous. They have looked after our little old bunny 'Teddy' beautifully. It is so lovely for us to know that Ted is being looked after so well. We totally trust Kerry and Linda. It's a great environment they keep. Being away for nearly 2 weeks, we know that Ted has been loved, groomed and fed. We do not have to worry about him at all. We loved watching the little videos of him on Instagram. I'm pretty sure now Ted is back home he might miss some of his free time to play, especially with the cuddly toy lamb.
Our rabbit Binky stayed at Kerry’s for 2 weeks while we were our honeymoon, and we were so happy with the service he received, that we booked him in for his second holiday! We loved seeing the updates on Instagram and could see how relaxed he was. Kerry is so attentive and caring, we know he’s always in good hands. Thanks so much Kerry!
If you want peace of mind to know that your pets are very well looked after while you are away, let them stay at Kerry’s Pets! Kerry’s pet hotel was recommended to us and our 2 guinea pigs had a lovely stay at there while we were on holiday, they came home very happy! Our guinea pigs had lots of space to run around and plenty of fresh veggies to nibble on every day, their ‘guest room’ was always kept very clean with plenty of fresh hay and we will definitely use Kerry’s pet hotel again next time we go away. It really does make such a difference being able to relax on holiday knowing that your pets are well-cared for - Thanks Kerry for looking after our piggies :)
Our rabbits stayed at Kerry's whilst we were away, and we could not have been happier. We had regular updates on Instagram and both bunnies were very happy. I felt relaxed knowing they were in capable hands, which is important. The space they stayed in was lovely and clean. I would recommend Kerrys Pets hotel to anyone and I will be using them for all future holidays.
Omg yet another fantastic trip to Kerry’s. She clearly cares deeply about every animal she has. Our rabbit has been one happy boy whilst staying with her. Thank you kerry
Oreo and Kitkat had a lovely holiday at Kerry’s Pets. This was the first time we had used Kerry’s Pets and we were completely confident in our “ladies” care from the moment we arrived. It was great to see a couple of videos of them when we were away. Would totally recommend! Update - Oreo and Kitkat have had a few stays now and have been joined by two little “sisters” Toffee and Treacle…the four of them just spent 10 days at Kerry’s Pets and had a lovely time. Kerry also gave us very helpful advice when we were bonding them prior to their stay.
Great friendly, professional service. I have got a rescue dog who can be quite nervous, Daisy understands her needs and is great with her. Therefore, I feel confident when Daisy looks after her. I would highly recommend Daisy's Pet Care.
Daisy and her team are fantastic, they really look after our girl and she always comes back from walks absolutely knackered. We've had daisy for around 7 months now and wouldn't want to go anywhere else. She has really helped our young cockerpoo socialise with other dogs and her confidence has grown massively. Definitely recommend!
I have numerous pets; 2 cats, 2 chinchillas, 2 rabbits, 3 guinea pigs, 4 tortoises & an outdoor fish pond & needed someone to care for these animals for 8 days by coming into my home & feeding & cleaning them. I contacted Daisy & we met to discuss what needed to happen & subsequently agreed upon a price. Daisy then returned the week before to collect the front door key & make final arrangements for the daily care. During the 8 days we kept in touch & photos of how the animals were fairing were provided with me answering any concerns Daisy had regarding their eating habits. When I returned I found all the animals to be in good condition & cages tidied as agreed. I have no hesitation in recommending Daisy's services at all; she showed a professional & caring manner & a genuine desire to ensure everything went as agreed...…..I hope to use Daisy's services again in the future, which in itself is testament to how well I think she did...…..thank you Daisy (from me & the animals) for a professional & caring service.
Friendly service. These guys know what you need from a pet service. Photos and lots of updates. Lovely family dogs. Our puppy was finally tired after a day of play and care. Recommend highly.
Daisy is amazing! Would highly recommend her services, she has been walking Leo for the last 10 months :)
Amazing, professional care an really friendly, will be recommending to all my family and friends for their doggies! Thank you!x
I wouldn't trust anyone else with my dog. He comes home happy 👍
My dog stayed at Woodlands Kennels over Christmas for 9 days for the first time. On drop off we were told we could not see the kennels, we also werent allowed to leave our dogs bed there due to covid even though they are cash only. The times for drop off and pick up are all wrong on the website so would call the kennels for the correct information here, we did notify the owners about this and they said they know the website is wrong. When we got out dog back after the christmas break he had two abscess on his paws, one was infected and ooozing. We asked the kennels if they knew what happened and they said they diddnt.
Unlikely to use again. The owners seem nice. We weren’t allowed to see the kennels on drop off which made me feel uncomfortable/suspicious - owners blamed covid but to not see any of it when it’s mostly outside?! The dog came back thin, he came back with a bad bout of kennel cough (despite being jabbed), and he came back with an injury to his leg (photo after cleaning) which the owners tried to tell me was mud - accidents happen but they didn’t seem to know about it - and he had just been bathed. And lastly, cash only?! £300 for just under 2 weeks we thought was very reasonable.
I’m really not sure about this cattery. The staff were friendly enough. They looked after my cat for 4 nights, charged me £96 though. I am concerned about how this place is representing itself as a kennel and cattery, yet there are no photos online of the cattery. When I arrived I asked to see the cattery, they wouldn’t let me as someone is on-site clinically vulnerable. Left me a bit worried. They did send photos, runs appear very basic. My cat came back having lost weight and was sick a few times on the first night. But apart from that seems to be fit and healthy. 3 stars because, although friendly, felt uneasy with lack of info about cattery.
Many, many thanks for caring for Daisy our German Shepherd this week. Woodlands is the ONLY kennel we are prepared to leave her with. Daisy is happy to just walk off with the staff, which speaks volumes. Everyone very friendly.
Recently purchased the most beautiful, Australian Shepherd puppy from Robert and Louise. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Lovely to talk to and deal with, and really couldn’t have had a better, healthier more well adjusted puppy. He’s an utter joy to all.
We have two rescue dogs, Molly and Sasha. They couldn’t be more opposite if they tried. Molly is cuddly and likes most humans but Sasha is not a fan of other humans, which can make finding somewhere for them to stay very hard. We stumbled upon Woodlands and I can honestly say that they go above a beyond. We can go away without worrying and they are not fazed by Sasha’s complex ways. We have just picked them up from their 4th stay, which was 6 days. They are both happy, well fed and Sasha’s fear of humans improves every time she goes there. You can tell that they love animals, work hard and most importantly give us feedback about the girls which we haven’t really had in other places. They are always at the end of the phone if we want to check in. We will use Woodlands every time we go away! Thanks so much for all your hard work, Laura & Aid
I have been using Woodlands for my dogs for over 5 years and always recommend them to my clients (I'm a dog groomer). Up until a couple of months ago I had never had any problems and my dogs always came back well fed, properly groomed (when requested), and happy. However, the last stay they came back from with various scrapes and cuts, and they were very anxious and skittish. Not to mention that the grooming I had paid extra for had not been done properly; when I got my dog home he was so badly matted that I ended up having to cut out the matts myself and re-groom and bathe him. He wasn't even properly clean and was very nervous about being handled which he has never been before. I recently found out from talking to some fellow dog owners who board their dogs at Woodlands that they, too, have had problems with their pets there including injuries that could not be explained, animals coming back very thin and/or dehydrated, and dogs that seemed to be quite traumatised - especially around food/resources. I don't know what's going on at Woodlands, but their pet care is no longer what it once was and I am sad to say that I will no longer be using or recommending their services.
We started boarding with Woodlands in 2017 after moving into the area. My dog had been unhappy at a previous kennel and I was so relieved when after his first boarding experience at Woodlands, he emerged happy and content. Being an American Akita, he is very intelligent and prone to stubbornness, but he jumps all over Brady when he sees him and gives him kisses, which says it all. The team has always been very prompt with communication, always keeping me informed on the first day about how my dog has settled in; as well as throughout the visit. At one time my dog developed a hot patch whilst boarding over the summer (long haired dogs are prone to this), and Brady and his team provided excellent care, rushing him to their vet and giving him the immediate necessary care. They have also come to my aid when health situations meant I needed immediate boarding, and their pickup and drop off service is excellent. Will be using for years to come. Highly recommend!
Fantastic kennels and cattery. Our family all use them for numerous cats and dogs and every time our animals have been looked after superbly. Recently my mum's cat was there and had an injury from prior to his visit. The staff looked after him amazingly well, took him to the vets when needed and kept us informed at all times. The care and attention was fabulous and the staff very considerate. Would highly recommend to all.
Unfortunately I won’t be using Woodlands again. My cat came home incredibly thin after staying here and ate about 3 days worth of food in 1 hour upon coming home. You are not allowed to see where they keep your cat and they only accept cash for some reason which is not explained. I really wanted to like this place, the reviews for the kennels are good, the staff are friendly, but something just doesn’t sit right me.
We've been taking our rabbit, Coco, to Binky's for three years and he's always really happy to go and comes back looking healthy and well groomed. And our sons love getting a photo or two of him while we're away. As well as taking great care of the animals, Jo is really professional and organised with the bookings so we know we can rely on Binky's each time we go away, which is really important to us. We're so grateful we found Binky's and genuinely can't recommend them enough.
We have left our two rabbits at Binky's on countless occasions over the last few years, including one long stay when we were abroad. Jo always takes such good care of them. She gives them loads of attention and we are always confident they'll have a safe and happy time whilst at Binky's. Highly recommend!
Jo at Binkys Boarding looks after the buns as if they were her own. The level of attention and true love for the rabbits under her care is unmatched. She is always available for advice and a friendly ear. The new indoor set up is one of a kind and truly shows the dedication of both Jo and Doug to making this an environment where rabbits thrive. Highly recommended!
We have used Binky's boarding regularly over the past 2 years for our 2 guinea pigs, Nibbles and Otto, and have always been very pleased. They are very well cared for, and Jo responds very quickly to queries and is very accomodating, the guineas don't want to leave. I would definitely recommend using Binky's.
Our guinea pigs enjoyed their stay! You can tell how much Jo cares for all the animals in her care. Our piggies will be returning when we are away.
Our hamster Ruby had a great stay at Binky's Small Animal Pet Boarding and was well taken care of by Jo! Jo is very knowledgeable and attentive to the animals' needs. Ruby was clearly happy and content during his stay as evidenced by the regular WhatsApp updates, and we appreciate the love and care that Jo gave him. We highly recommend Binky's for anyone looking for a safe and comfortable place to leave their furry friends.
My two rabbits had a great time with Jo at Binky’s Boarding. She clearly loves bunnies and all animals. The animals I’m her care are all happy and well looked after with plenty of attention as well as indoor and outdoor space. Jo was very easy to deal with and quick to respond to all queries. The photos and videos of the rabbits were also much appreciated. I happily and wholeheartedly recommend Binky’s Boarding to anyone who needs boarding for their small furries!
All my bunnies enjoy their stay at Binkys Boarding. I can go away knowing they are well cared for. Definitely would recommend Binkys Boarding. 🐰 …
My rabbit spent 2 weeks at Binkys Boarding and what I can say is that Rory didn't seem very excited to come back home and leave aunt Jo and the furry friends behind. He really had a great time, been well taken care of and spoilt. He is very fussy and came back home with a new preference for his hay lol. Been sent pictures and updates via whatsapp constantly. Jo is a lovely person who loves animals. When I first brought Rory, she took him out of his carrier and hold him, something Rory doesn't like and I expected him to look alert and scared, but no. After a few seconds he just looked so calm and peaceful in her arms and it made me so emotional. I know he felt she has a good soul and he just trusted her. Will defo bring Rory back every time we need a place for him. This is his holiday! <3 Thank you, Jo!
Our rabbits both had a fantastic little holiday of their own staying at Binky’s Boarding. It is a lovely clean set, up and you can easily see how much Jo loves her own animals and also shares that with her furry guests too. Couldn’t believe my eyes when Goldie happily sat there having a cuddle and stroke from Jo, when I count it a success just being able to pick him up! Would thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants somewhere where their bunnies can be well looked after.
