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.

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 Oxfordshire based retired couple looking for our next adventure.
A very positive first experience of zeewoi! Chris looked after Stan and the house beautifully, communicated well and left everything immaculate - even gifting us some apples and a bottle of wine.

Industrious & practical couple looking to provide peace of mind to owners
This was our first time with housesitters and Libby and Peter were amazing! They were reassuring before we left, came to meet us and the dogs and arrived at the house soon after we'd left. They sent photos and messages while we were away which put us at ease. The dogs loved them and were very well cared for. The house was exactly how we left it, the plants were well looked after and they had even washed the bedding and towels. Would definitely recommend Libby and Peter.

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.
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Stacey is great! She is really reliable and is really caring towards our cats. They are very comfortable with her which is really nice for us when we go away. She is really good at keeping in contact whilst being with the cats and sends us regular photos updating us with them. Would 100% recommend Stacey!
Stacey is super reliable and looked after our two girls so well, keeping us updated whilst we were away. Highly recommended!
Stacey has been looking after our girls for a year. They both love her and she is clearly an animal lover. Her care and understanding is exceptional and she comes to the house to stay with them when we go away. We trust her completely. She is a diamond and we would never hesitate to recommend her. Thank you Stacey, we think you are great 🐶
Stacey started walking our pup from 12 weeks. She was so good at coming in for puppy play time when she was too small to walk. Now she takes her out for long walks , and with other dog friends too. Our pooch loves Stacey. We also love her! She is super good at communication and bookings, always accommodating. She really cares about our training style and has helped us with all the puppy stages from teething to recall enforcing. We have a highly active working breed and Stacey handles her very well.
I've been relying on Stacey for years, and she's fantastic. When our dog was a pup she would take him for short walks and spend the rest of the time playing with him. He's now nearly 3 year's old and goes for an hour walk with Stacey every few days. She's introduced him to new dog friends and he is always excited to see her. She's very accommodating and is great at communicating and responding. I feel very confident that Stacey is always alert to the dog's well-being and I'm so glad we found her!
We are so glad we found Stacey when we moved to the area. She has been such a delight to have walk and and look after our dog, especially with how flexible and caring she is. We really appreciate all Stacey has done to help us. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog Walker or sitter for trips away.
We cannot recommend Stacey highly enough. Stacey is absolutely wonderful with our two golden retriever boys who absolutely adore her. Stacey is extremely flexible, trustworthy and such a lovely, warm and bubbly person who clearly loves animals.
Stacey has been walking our dog for 5 years and she has been amazing. Stacey is friendly and has a clear love of dogs. Our dog gets very excited when he sees her, whether its at our house or in the park! Excellent service.
Stacey has been looking after my two cars for at least 3 years now. She’s 100% reliable, always accommodates me whenever she can and my two boys love her. She is professional and very caring and would thoroughly recommend.
We have used Stacey as a dog walker for years and she is brilliant! Our dog always gets stupidly excited to see her and she has always looked after him well, even dropping us a message if she thinks he seems off colour. She fits us in at late notice if she is able to and is always accommodating 😁 …
I highly recommend Jo and her walking service, she's been fantastic with our spaniel who had some reactivity issues. Jo made sure our boy was compatible and comfortable with the other dogs in the group and gave us updates and advice which was very appreciated!
Fantastic dog walking service. Our dog Lola absolutely loved Jo and the walks they went on. Jo walked Lola every day for two weeks whilst we were away. Very reliable and caring of Lola. Lola is a strong dog. Jo kept us updated with lovely pictures which was wonderful. Strongly recommend Jo.
I have an older husky X and younger rescue dog who Jo walks twice a week for me. She is responsible and reliable and they get very get excited when she comes to collect them. She took the time to get to know their personalities and makes sure if they are walked with others that they will all get along. Would definitely recommend her !
First time using a kennels and got to say couldn't be happier. my dog went in with no issues got updates and photos of him while he was there honestly no issues collection went with out any issues. amazing place and amazing staff :)
A really good kennel experience for our dog. We have a German Shepherd who is always well looked after and has no fear of staying. We have used the kennels twice now and would highly recommend it. She received individual care when she got over excited due to being surrounded by other dogs.
I cannot commend Jo enough. She is wonderful person and takes such care of all the dogs under her charge. I am deeply saddened to hear that Five Acres will be no more. Our entire family wish Jo the very best of luck and we hope that she and the team find somewhere else to continue doing what they care about so much.
Due to unforeseen circumstances my dog had to go to Five acres twice in 4 weeks. I thought he would resist going up to the kennels on the second occasion but he trotted up very happily. Each time we collected him he was happy and in good condition. The kennels coped with giving him his daily medication and keeping him on his restricted diet, which he happily ate whilst staying there. The kennels are also kept very clean, no smells when we have visited.
Our cat feels comfortable and calm here with it's relaxed and quiet atmosphere. Great service that is flexible and caring, they spend plenty of time with your pet too, giving them lots of attention. Would highly recommend. P.s. They also send pictures of your pet too, if you want
The team at Five Acres are superb! We dropped off our two little ones for a 13 day stay and they were treated very well! Jo and her team are clear animal lovers and provided excellent service to us and our dogs! We would be happy to use them again next time we go on holiday. The only downside is that they were a little inflexible with drop off and pick up times, but only a minor problem. Still 5 STARS!
I have used Five acres for 10years + and i wouldn't send my dogs anywhere else. They treat your pets like their own, lots of love, treats and a kick about with a football! Its like a holiday for my dogs and they come home happy.
Absolutely excellent doggy day care, Laura does a fantastic job and we feel totally at ease with her looking after our dog
We have been using Laura and Marvins Motel for a few years now to take care of our Ralph, he has stayed from a simple overnight to a few weeks, we’re always at ease knowing he’s going to be looked after and we’re kept updated accordingly ! Lovely place for the dogs to play and he’s right at home there ! Very professional with everything asked or managed like you would expect ! Would definitely recommend!
My dog is always SO excited to go and has the best time while she is there. She is very well looked after and I feel comfortable leaving her there. It is very well run and always welcoming.
Home from home of happy sausages.
Its important to know that your best friends are happy and safe when you are away. Luna and Clarence love staying with Natalia and are so well looked after they have a holiday as well. Highly recommended
Our dog has been going to Basil's for 2 years now and she absolutely loves it! We wanted to make sure she was in a comfortable and loving home environment as she can be nervous, and Basil's ticked all the boxes. Natalia cares for each dog as if they were her own and our furbaby is always super excited to get to daycare in the morning, and suitably worn out in the evening!
Mylo goes to Natalia for his holidays when we go on ours. The minute the door is opened he is through it!. We have used Basil’s boarding services quite a few times now and love the regular updates and pictures we get. Natalia understands each dog has its different needs and ensures their time at her house is as comfortable and stress free as possible. If they want the couch, they can have the couch. 🐾 I cannot recommend her enough and am never worried about leaving my ‘third child’, just maybe a little guilty……🐾
Natalia and Basil are great! Our dog attended weekly daycare for two and a half years, and he loved it. Early drop off and late pick up hours made the schedule really easy with working hours. Natalia works hard to ensure dogs are a good fit together and adapts to the needs of individual dogs. The small group and home environment means every dogs gets special attention.
Fantastic care for my nervous dog! I highly recommend Basil’s Doggie Daycare to anyone looking for daycare and boarding- I use both of these services. Natalia is so knowledgeable and excellent with dogs, I know my dog will always receive the best care with her. She has so much fun and gets lots of attention. Last year my dog spent over a week boarding here while I was away, she came home happy and relaxed. I received daily updates, photos and videos of all the fun and had no concerns or worries at all. I have a booked a further boarding stay.
Natalia is not only knowledgeable and professional but has a true affinity with the dogs in her care. Tilly is happy and contented when she has a holiday with Natalia and we are happy and contented to go away leaving her in safe loving hands.
Fantastic experience of day and overnight home boarding care for our lively sprocker spaniel ‘Woody’. Woody has stayed with Natalia and Basil every year for the last 5 years (except during Covid) for our annual 2 week holiday and has also stayed numerous weeks, weekends or odd days. He is always very well looked after, well-walked and Natalia even cooked dog biscuits for him during his stay on his Birthday. Really appreciate all the personal photos and videos Natalia sends during his stay with reassurance that he is having a great stay! Highly recommend
Our doggie stayed for a few nights and when we picked her up she did not want to come home she was so happy. Very well looked after. Will be using basils again in the future for over night stays and weekly walks
My dog Inca loves Natalia very much, rushes into her place every time. She takes good care of Inca and send us pictures and video of cute moments of Inca and let us know how's Inca doing that day, give advices when needed.
Our 2 year old saluki cross has just come back from a 3 week holiday with Natalia and we couldn’t be happier with the level of care and love that Natalia provides! Natalia is so knowledgeable and professional, and clearly loves all the dogs in her care. We’ve used Natalia for random daycare and the odd weekend before this and every time Natalia keeps us up to date with how the stay is going. As soon as we pull into the road Luna recognises where she is and is excited to get inside and see Natalia.
Waggy Walks 4 Dogs is a true home from home. Our frenchy loves his daycare visits , and boarding holidays there. He couldn’t be in safer hands & Vicky treats him like one of her own. The care and attention to his very specific needs is incredible , along with Vicky’s superb knowledge , love and dedication to all dogs in her care. I highly recommend. 5*
Vicky is amazing with dogs and is highly reliable and trustworthy. I use her services for day care and boarding and my dog loves it. Communication is great and I always get photos and videos. There aren’t many people I trust to look after my dog but with Vicky I always know he’s in safe hands. Would highly recommend.
Vicky offers an amazing home boarding and day care service. She looks after all the dogs in our family and they really enjoy their stay. It’s wonderful to be able to have a holiday and not have to worry about your pup while you’re away. I love seeing all the photos Vicky posts too. Thank you Vicky.
Absolutely excellent! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog. A wonderful home from home & a fun, safe & comfortable retreat that my pup loves to visit. Vicky takes the dogs on enriching walks & spends quality time playing with, training & loving each dog & treats them as part of her family. I always receive regular updates & wonderful photos when my dog is boarding which gives me total peace of mind. A wonderful service that I am incredibly grateful for.
We could not recommend Vicky and Paul enough, there is no one else we would trust to look after our Italian Greyhound. Vicky treats our iggy with the same love, care and attention we would at home. Her support, advice and help has been greatly appreciated. Looking after our dog from a very excited puppy to a now much calmer (albeit particular!) 4 year old! They’ve always been there for us when we needed them and gone above and beyond for our dog who we miss terribly when she isn’t with us, but we know she is safe and in a home away from home with a good routine.
Vicky is amazing. Without her help, knowledge and wealth of experience I wouldn’t have done so well in getting my 4 star rating for my doggy daycare and boarding business. Vicky is professional but also really lovely. I’m so glad I called her to ask one simple question when I first started. She may not be so pleased about the gazillion amount of questions I’ve asked her since 🤣 Thank you Vicky xxx
Vicky @waggy walks is amazing, winnie has been going for 3.5 years for both day care and boarding. She is always so excited to go and always happy when she comes back. I get regular updates and photos. Thank you for everything you do for her. I would highly recommend her to anyone xx
Absolutely fantastic company. Vicky takes such good care of my whippet when we go on holiday and it gives such peace of mind knowing he is so happy and well taken care of. I love the regular updates we receive and he gets on brilliantly with her dogs. Vicky really does provide a home from home service and he is treated like one of her family when he stays. Cannot recommend Waggy Walks 4 Dogs highly enough.
My dog has been going here for nearly a few years now. It started as someone to look after the dog on occasions when we were away but he loves it so much he goes every week. I can't recommend this Waggy Walks 4 Dogs any higher. We would be lost without them. Great value for money Amazing service Dogs love it Fully licensed Complete trust in them
Vicky is just wonderful! Not only are her packs absolutely fantastic and helped me get through my application and inspection immensely but every step of the way she has been there for support in so many ways. I couldn’t have done so well with my paperwork without her and the pride I had showing my inspector was because of her and the knowledge and confidence that her pack and guidance provided. 100% recommend! Rating of the highest standard! *****
Very happy with Martins training I feel good about taking my dog out for a walk now. Before I went to scallywags dog training my dog would pull me all over the place and bark at other dogs. I would highly recommend scallywags dog training school.
Scallywags staff have been brilliant with my dog for years. He gets so excited when they come to pick him up for daycare.
Brilliant service happy doggy
Zoe and Adam looked after our two guinea pigs whilst we went on holiday for two weeks. The service was excellent and exactly what we needed. Would highly recommend.
I have used The Ark Home & Pet Care a couple of times now and I have been so pleased with the level of care my two cats received while I was away. Each day I looked forward to the photos and message I was sent - very reassuring that all was ok back home! Adam even watered the plants, took in the post and feed the garden birds. Nothing is too much trouble. Zoe was great at replying to any emails I sent. Both are very friendly and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs top quality pet care while away!
We were really pleased to have The Ark Pet and Home Care look after our home and cat whilst we went away for the week. Perfect service, could not ask for more- even last minute requests such as watering the Brussels sprouts were attended to. It was a relief to know that our home and moggy were in safe hands whilst we were away, and meant that we could enjoy our break away all the more. Will definitely use again and will recommend to my friends and neighbours.
What a service! We always have worried about leaving our many pets, 4 cats and 4 Guinea Pigs, with people we don’t know. But we found this company run by a local couple. Worry no more. They came round and took some detailed notes, getting to know the quirks of the animals and which is which. They even sent us pictures of the animals and updates on which cats they saw etc. We even had 2 guinea pigs in isolation from the others, this wasn’t an issue at all. Well done and thank you. Not just from us, but from our small zoo too.
Amazing. Absolutely perfect for what we needed. They are friendly, a good price and followed my instructions brilliantly. Took great care of our 4 guinea pigs and 4 cats. Cannot praise them enough. 🥰
Great service, looked after our cat & guinea pigs while we were on holiday and would recommend.
Bright Days/Andy is a passionate dog walker , he takes my dog once a week and she runs out to greet him with a wagging tail and big lick , Andy makes sure she has a great walk as the dogs are well matched with other dogs on the walk. She does get muddy, but it’s worth it, because she loves it so much! I get pics/videos and the dogs have plenty of exercise in the countryside! My cockapoo always comes home tired and happy! Andy is equipped with treats, balls, and first aid to deal with any situation and he has even delivered homemade dog biscuits at Christmas which was a lovely surprise.
Andy has been walking my two dogs, 5 days a week for a couple of years now, he is very reliable and my dogs love him. I am confident my dogs are safe with Andy as well as getting a good walk at a variety of locations. I have a mud lover, Andy always hoses him down and dries him off with a towel I leave out. I would highly recommend Bright Days dog care.
Andy has a calm, caring personality and loves dogs. Our dog, who is selective in who she bonds with, absolutely adores Andy and his family.
Very good dog care my dogs love going to see andy he is with out a doubt a dog whisperer has a caring attitude to all dogs and reassures owners when you leave your pets with him would reccomend his dog day care
My dog Lulu can be a bit tricky and with my wedding coming up, my usual carers won't be available. So I turned to Home From Home Dog Boarding to start building a connection with a capable carer. We were introduced to Monika and Alessandro who turned out to be more than perfect. They have great experience with bigger and stronger dogs. Lulu had a great weekend and I didn't worry once whilst I was away for the weekend. They sent great updates and took Lulu out for day trips and were so accommodating when plans changed and I needed to pick her up later than planned. She had a great time and is already booked in for more holidays and I can know that I can focus on my wedding next year and not worry about Lulu enjoying herself as well!
We have used home from boarding twice now and both times they have been excellent. We have you two different carers for our dog Skye and both times they have been brilliant! Keeping us updated with messages and photos both times. This is a great peace of mind that your dog is safe and in great hands. Please pass on our thanks to Maddie for all her efforts on the last stay. Thanks again home from home boarding
Ive used Home from Home dog boarding for years now and can honestly say they are the best. The usual carer they went to wasn’t available so they stayed with Natalie and her husband H. Such a lovely couple, who adore dogs and have lots of experience. I got daily updates and went away knowing they’re being looked after. If anything happens to one of them there’s 24 hour support from Home from Home. Staff in the office are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended
amazing couple Pam & John looked after my anxious girl. She had such a lovely time she was unsure about coming home!! Thank you for a perfect couple who I woukd trust again.
Our cavachon, Teddy, is always so happy staying with Ilona (and her husband, Ian). She is very knowledgeable, full of kindness and common sense and offers the added bonus of a great sense of fun. Ilona has been very accommodating whenever Teddy has stayed with her. He settles in quickly, which is comforting, as we know he's happy and that allows us a worry-free break. We greatly appreciate the photos of Teddy (often with very amusing comments) that we receive regularly when we are away.
I had a tricky challenge to sort. Having secured a hard won place on a round the world yacht race who could look after my precious pup for months? I found the answer with Home from Home. They were 110% helpful and supportive from the moment I contacted them. The person they found to look after my dog was wonderful and took the very best care of her. All watched over by the Home from Home team. Thank you all for your wonderful service. I highly recommend them.
We cannot thank Home from Home Boarding, and especially Nicola, enough for the amazing care she provided for our 7-month-old dachshund puppy, Remi! This was our first time leaving her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The company was incredibly efficient and quick to get in touch, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Knowing that Remi was in the hands of someone who genuinely cared for her and gave her undivided love and attention 24/7 was such a relief. Nicola was FANTASTIC! She made us feel so comfortable from the start and kept us updated with the most lovely ‘pupdates’ that brightened our days while we were away. It was clear how much Nicola cared for Remi, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, if anything Remi has been returned better behaved than when we left! We highly recommend Home from Home Boarding and Nicola to anyone needing a trusted and caring home from home for their furry family member. Thank you so much! 🌟🐾
First time using Home from Home Boarding for my boy. Morris was placed with a lovely couple who treated him like he was there own. This made my holiday worry free knowing he was in safe hands. Will definitely be using again . Thank you Joyce and Dave.
This is the second time Eddie and Vera have looked after Tiago and despite there being a year in between stays he was so excited to see them and return to their home. It is so reassuring for my wife and I to know that he is happy and well cared for by them and we are very grateful that he too had a wonderful holiday! Thank you Eddie and Vera! The Home From Home booking experience is straightforward and easy and we are very happy that it provided us with great carers for our dog.
Excellent, efficient and friendly service from Home from Home. The lady they found for us (Pat) is delightful. So lovely with our dogs and has a beautiful garden which they loved. Can highly recommend, thank you.
My wife and I have used TTLS for over 12 years since we had our first Husky Kai. Karina/Matt and the team now look after our current 2 huskies Bella & Kai. From daycare to home boarding on a regular basis over the years the biggest compliment we can pay TTLS is we would never trust anyone else to look after our dogs. Thanks again guys for looking after our dogs and allowing us to relax knowing they are in a happy place when with you. Tarun & Alka.
Whether it's daycare, puppy training, 1-2-1 training, group dog walking, home boarding, social walks or grooming at The Stylish Dog, Take The Lead Services is the best you could wish for, for your beloved dog. I have used all the services I have listed!!! Its not a business, its a community and Leia LOVES being a Take The Lead Dog!!! She has a great time and they probably understand her better than I do as their doggy experience is so vast and they know traits and quirks of different breeds. 5 stars all the way, we are blessed to have them in our lives!!!
We’ve used Take The Lead ever since Fozzy was 6 months old - initially for puppy training, then daycare and occasionally dog boarding overnight. The team are lovely and great people and Fozzy runs to meet them when they pick him up - we always know he’s in great hands! Highly recommended.
These guys are amazing. I know our pup is in the safest possible hands whenever he visits and he loves being with them. Grooming, day visits or overnight stays couldn't think of a better place.
Can't recommend Take The Lead highly enough - means so much to us how they care for our dog like one of their own - he always has a fantastic time at daycare, we have all been helped with behaviour consultations/one to one training, he loves going to daycare and has even been pampered at the Stylish Dog and comes back looking fabulous and smells divine. We have a great time on the social walks and love the specialist excellently run 'lets be nosey' scent courses. So so glad we have found this amazing company.
The Take The Lead Services team are seen as an extention to the family by our spaniel, he loves them all! We have used TTL since 2014, and struggled to find a service as good when we moved to California. In fact when we moved back the first thing we did was check our dog could go back to Take The Lead! Great friendly service we would be lost without them for those occasions when we both need to be away at the same time for work. Highly recommend Karina, Matt, Catherine and the team!
I cannot recommend these guys enough. We started out with puppy classes almost 2 years ago and now our Frenchie Taco goes on group dog walks a few times a week and boards with Take the Lead when we are away. He absolutely loves it and I know I can trust Karina, Matt and their team completely to take the best care of him which is really important to me. Nothing is too much hassle, they are always so accomodating. Really glad I found them!
Excellent company, have been using Take The Lead Services for many years now! All the staff that have collected my dog over the years have always been prompt & polite, make sure he has water when they drop him off, and ensure he's dry if it's a wet day. Completely trustworthy.
Took my 5 and half month old puppy to be groomed to have my puppy returned bleeding heavily from her paw. Nail cut far too low. Wasn’t apologised too or made aware of the incident when picking up my dog. Will never return
Can't recommend enough! Murphy loves his day care days! (And overnight stays, and walks!) He's always worn out from all the fun! Karina, Catherine and everyone are amazing and I am so grateful to them!
Helen at Walks & Whiskers is wonderful, we are so grateful to have found her a few years ago, our dog loves her walks every day! Helen is so caring and we feel totally comfortable that our dog will be well looked after whilst out with her.
Helen from Walks & Whiskers has been fantastic in helping look after Bryn, our small but determined Border Terrier. We regularly use walking services and have found Walks & Whiskers to be very flexible when it comes to our working arrangements which change on a weekly basis. We receive frequent updates on how Bryn's walks with his canine friends have gone, and are happy knowing he's out of the house to enjoy himself when we can't be there. There's absolutely no hesitation at all in recommending Walks & Whiskers!
Helen has looked after my animals for me many times and I always feel confident that they are well looked after, it is lovely to have that peace of mind when I go away.
