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

Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
I was very happy with the love and affection that was very apparent when Travis and Shannon met the pups. I received one picture on my trip and was happy to see Shannon cuddled under a doggie pile. Nothing like seeing your dogs being loved by others as their own. Every thing was in its place when I return which was nice. I also received a welcome home gift handmade by them which was very lovely and made my day. I highly recommend them as trustworthy and reliable pet sitters to anyone.
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!
We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house again
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!
Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

My super anxious, tiny little rescue dog has been going to the play center 1-2 days a week for about a year and he LOVES it. Loves the dogs but as he’s now an older gent, mostly enjoys cuddles from the lovely people who work there and watch the dogs. From pick up and drop off to a report card and pictures/videos, he is in such good hands with Alicia and her staff. I’ve also free-sleep boarded him with Alicia’s team (short weekends all the way up to 9 nights), and he is so taken care of and happy when he gets to have sleepovers there. Would definitely recommend!
*Day care* Alicia and her team are the best. Our energetic cockapoo puppy has been attending the day care since its opening day, and we couldn't be happier. Alicia truly cares for each and every dog, and takes the time to get to know them and understand them. What really makes her day care different (and better) than all others is that she (and her team) carefully and lovingly teach doggy manners to make sure every dog is comfortable and safe. The picture updates are a great bonus, too. Our boy comes home tired and happy every time!
We have a tricky little rescue dog who we never thought would be able to go to a doggy daycare… until we met Alicia! Now our dog goes every week to daycare, has started to play with the other dogs and loves to get cuddles from the staff there. We always know she’s in safe hands and will be securely dropped off at home. This has been a life changer for us! Thanks team!
My puppy has been going to Alicia's for a couple of months and he absolutely loves it. Personally, I love the little summary I receive at the end of the day with pictures and videos, and I feel safe leaving my dog in the Alicia's capable hands.
Alicia, Andreia, and the rest of the team are so good. They not only take such good care of our manic energy bundle, Smokey, but are always so communicative and professional. The stories and pictures they send about the dogs is extremely sweet and always a great part of the day. Best part of the day though is when Smokey comes home tired from all the rambunctious play. Cannot possibly recommend Alicia strongly enough.
These guys really care about integrating your dog into their walking group and they do in-walk training that helps the more nervous dog adjust. Andreia has done great work with Rusty and his general dog interaction has been much improved since the group walks began. Plus constant feedback and photos from the walkers. Thanks Alicia and crew.
Our little Leo loves his days with Alicia’s House of Paws and comes back well exercised and ready for a snooze 👌 Great service, lovely people and we are really delighted to have the regular dog walking service to help us out during a busy working week. We think he’s a better rounded dog as a result 🥰 …
Jolly goes to Alicia's House of Paws about once a week depending when my partner goes to the office. I love that she's able to play outdoors all day (although there is a summer House for cold days) meeting up with her doggy pals. Staff are always helpful and respond quickly on WhatsApp. We get photos, videos and a review of the day it's great to see what she's up to when I'm not around! Thanks Alicia and team!
Melissa looked after my wee boy Caspian during end stage heart failure. He needed multiple tablets and 2 injections daily and was not the easiest cat. Melissa managed with ease and Caspian really loved her visiting. Now she continues to look after my other kitties who equally enjoy her company and she is the first sitter I have found who I completely trust. I would highly recommend.
Fantastic doggy daycare. Cleo is a rescue dog that did not have a lot of confidence when first starting, but the staff have been brilliant with her and now she loves being there :)
Fiona is the very best with our two 🐶, will not let him with anybody else. She is certainly the absolute best. She is like family, dogs whisper! …
Waggy Wanderers have been fabulous helping walk/entertain our big fella while myself and the wife are out at work all day. You'll get a serious amount of videograhy and photos of your prized fur ball out and about on his adventures with Laura and his wee doggy pals too which is brilliant to see (few high quality snaps attached for example). Great service 👏
Laura pet sat my house rabbit for a week and was absolutely amazing. It's always scary leaving your pet with someone new for the first time (especially when they're quite sensitive and not particularly fond of people like my boy is!) but Laura was very competent and kind, and really respected his individual needs. I could tell from the daily updates she sent that he was comfortable and being looked after very well, which was so reassuring whilst I was away. She was an absolute godsend and I wouldn't hesitate to have her pet sit for me again in the future.
Laura at Waggy Wanderers Pet Care is simply amazing with our fur baby. From day one she’s worked with us to meet our dogs needs and has helped with his training hugely. Laura takes time to get to know the dogs and really does cater for individual needs. She’s also super flexible and always try’s her best to meet our schedule. I couldn’t recommend Laura more!! Added bonus that Laura shares updates/photos of the walks with us via WhatsApp and Facebook which is so lovely to see. Our dog absolutely loves his time with his Laura!
We have 2 rescue dogs that can be very nervous on walks, and Laura is great with them and they love when they go on their walks with Laura. Laura has been very flexible when helping organise walks to fit the dogs with my shift work, She is very trustworthy and I would highly recommend Laura to anyone.
Laura is amazing with our dog. He loves going for walks with her and we get great footage (video and photo) of the time they spend together. Laura is reliable and extremely trustworthy. An invaluable support to our family!
Laura has been, and is, a fantastic dog walker. She has been walking our dog since Lunan was just 12 weeks old (initially she did call-in puppy visits and then went from solo walks to integrating Lunan into group walks which are fantastic for socialising and tiring out our little one 😊). Laura communicates regularly with photos and videos to show how our dog got on that day/ week as well as checking in each week to ensure what services we need. Laura is incredibly flexible as she has changed days, times and even looked after Lunan in the evening time when events have arisen we have needed to attend. We landed so lucky with Laura and I cannot endorse her enough. She’s diligent, flexible and above all, a lover of dogs(and animals of all types): what else do you need from a dog walker?
Highly recommended. Friendly, professional service and the cats love her. Laura looked after our cats for a week, and we returned to two very chilled and happy cats, she even won over our male cat who can be very aloof with strangers! Laura sent us regular updates and even took care of watering the plants etc, we’ll definitely be using waggy wanderers again.
Laura is great with dogs. She is also very reliable and flexible. Overall she provides the great service!
Laura has been our dog Walker for over a year now and I really couldn’t ask for more She regularly checks in with us and shares the experiences our pooch has She is punctual, flexible and lets us know anything about our dog’s walk we may need to She comes highly recommended and you’d be as lucky as us to have her for your pet!
An outstanding professional service! We could not be happier with the service that Kirsty provides. Being new to dog ownership we were apprehensive about finding a suitable dog walker and so set up several meetings with various dog walkers. Kirsty was first and we immediately cancelled all the other meetings as we were so impressed by her professionalism, knowledge and flexibility. Kirsty provides a very personal service and clearly cares a lot about the dogs in her care. As our puppy has grown our needs have changed and Kirsty has been so helpful and flexible in adapting the routine as our needs have developed. She provides a daily diary and photos of our dog enjoying her walks as well as screenshots of the route she has gone - very helpful to find new places to walk yourself. All in all, we couldn't be happier and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kirsty to anyone looking for a dog walker.
Kirsty has been looking after my one year old labrador since she was three months old. Kirsty cares a great deal about the dogs she looks after and my dog always has a great time when she is out walking with Pups and Paws. Kirsty is reliable, extremely flexible and always quick to respond to any queries. Kirsty provides an email update and pictures after each walk which is a really nice touch. I would definitely recommend Kirsty.
Kirsty is wonderful with our 13 year old lab/collie cross who has spinal problems, is pretty blind and deaf and doesn't like most other dogs - so not the easiest of charges! He still loves the short walks he is able to go on and greets Kirsty with great excitement when she arrives for his twice daily 'let-outs'. She is 100% reliable, very flexible, is great with Charlie and provides the perfect service for him now he is too old and infirm for daycare. Thanks Kirsty!
Kirsty made herself available during Christmas week to walk my Labrador pup during the afternoon for several days. I cannot recommend her services enough; she left detail "report cards" on how my pup did on the walk and how much he ate, kept in contact with me via email for any important issues that came up, and was extremely detail-orientated, ensuring that she followed the care instructions left for my dog exactly and asking about things I didn't even think about. A very professional and reliable service -- would definitely use again!!
I can not recommend Kirsty highly enough. She has walked my elderly dog, Bailey, every day with such care, providing beautiful email reports detailing his walk and accompanied by photos of all the fun they had. As a veterinary surgeon, I am very picky about who looks after my own dog- Kirsty is a fantastic choice. After only a few weeks being walked by Kirsty, Bailey’s mood improved, he became more energetic and enthusiastic, and could not wait for his walks. Kirsty is kind, dedicated, respectful, empathetic and generous - All the dogs she looks after are treated as if they are her own.
Due to attending a family funeral the day after I welcomed my 8week old puppy to our house, I had contacted kirsty a few days before I picked up my puppy to put in place a visit to make sure our puppy could be fed, let into garden & had a welcoming face to check on her & wasn't on her own for any length of time. Kirsty was great, she was very prompt with replies, her communication is second to none (even after a slight mix up on my side) I had no doubt my puppy was going to be in safe hands! My family would not hesitate to contact kirsty for any future dog services we may require. Mandy
Pups and Paws helped me with walking my cocker spaniel whilst I was recovering from surgery. Kirsty is a caring, professional dog walker, and I would highly recommend her. My dog had a great walk, came back tired and happy and looked forward to her visits every day.
Kirsty does a great job walking and looking after my Labrador. She has been totally reliable and lets me know where and what my dogs been up to. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
Very pleased with the service I was a bit anxious about finding a dog walker but once I meet Kirsty I was very impressed with her professional approach and my dog liked her as well . Poppy always seems happy on the photos that Kirsty shares and I love getting a map of her daily walk . She is very reliable
Incredibly reliable and professional service from Pups and Paws. Things got off to a great start with an incredibly professional service from the start with quick response to emails and ongoing continued exceptional communication
Our 1 year old cockapoo has been going to Meadowhill for day care once a week for just over 3 months. The staff are excellent, so friendly and happy to answer any questions you might have. Our dog bounds out to the centre without even looking back to say goodbye. I can see him running round with all his friends outside as I leave the car park. It’s really helped to socialise him too.
My black cocker spaniel Jory has attended Meadowhill for almost six years. Firstly because she and my grandchildren were very young and needed protection from each other. They have grown up to be besties together. My dog does have separation anxiety, no sign of that when she trots in for a day at Meadowhill. Staff are approachable and friendly and it’s a great place for Jory to spend a day with her doggy friends.
Cassi has only been going to Meadowhill for around 2 months and I was very nervous after a bad experience elsewhere, I can honestly say they are amazing and made me feel so confident on cassies settle in days. She now runs out the car every time as she knows exactly how much fun she is going to have socialising with all the other fab doggy’s!🐶
We have been using Meadowhill Dog Day Care just a few months shy of 7 years. The staff are wonderful with our slightly anxious cockapoo. They show her great attention and affection and this makes us happy leaving her as she gets to play with her other fury friends under a watchful eye. We highly recommend Meadowhill to friends and people looking for a reputable dog day care service, where the team are caring, attentive and interactive with the dogs. This is reassuring for any pet owner to know your baby is in safe hands!
Our miniature schnauzer loves his time at Meadowhill. Greeted with a warm smile and welcome. He happily trots off and is collected tired and happy to return. Staff always friendly, caring and knowledgeable. Very happy to recommend Meadowhill Dog Day Care.
I love going to Meadowhill. My humans have chauffeured me there for the past few years. I enjoy meeting my friends for a chase around the play area, my favourite spot is the tyre. The humans at Meadow hill are very caring and friendly. They help us take selfies to show our humans our adventures. I feel very lucky to play there and would give it five paws🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
River has been attending Meadowhill since she was 6 months old. She's now 3 and loves the time she spends here each week. She always comes home a happy tired girl after a hard day playing with her friends! Excellent, friendly staff who are always happy to help, would highly recommend.
Meadowhill is fantastic! My dog has been coming here for 2 years now and absolutely loves it. He always bounces out the car ready to go and play with his doggy pals for the day while I go to work. Highly recommend Meadowhill.
MAC absolutely loves coming here. He really misses his doggie and human friends when he’s not there. I fully recommend Meadowhill if you’re looking for day care 👍 …
Our dog Oryn has been going to Meadowhill for about 3 years now and absolutely loves it! He gets excited when the car turn the corner at the top of the road as he knows where he is going and can't wait to get out and run inside. They have an outdoor play area, a deck area and a cosy area inside, so the dogs have a great choice of what to do and a rest area when needed. The staff there are all very friendly, take great care of your dogs and they put regular posts on the Facebook page, so you can see what your dogs been up to. I would highly recommend Meadowhill.
I very highly recommend Hound Around. Almost a year ago, I began sending my dog twice a week for social interaction and supervised play and I have genuinely had to add a third day because she loves it so much. Mention the word ‘school’ to Tawny and the ears prick up and she starts looking for her collar. To see her scrabbling to get out of the car when we arrive shows how much she loves going. Invariably when I arrive to collect her, she is having such a lovely time that I get the very strong impression I’ve spoiled her fun by coming to pick her up! It means such a lot to me that I can leave her in a safe, kind place where she has fun, stimulation and lots of activity. The communication from Danielle and Steph is excellent and the photos that are posted after each day are testament to what a superb place it is. You can see from the photos and videos (and there are some absolute crackers!) just how much enjoyment the dogs are having and how good the facilities are. It is also so nice to see from them how the dogs form friendships and Tawny definitely has her ‘school besties’. I also really appreciated how reassuring the staff were when Tawny first started. At the time, she was quite skittish, due to being a rescue and having just lost her adopted elder brother, but they took time and patience, coaxing and reassuring her until she quickly settled in. It was such a good move. I wouldn’t think of Tawny being anywhere else for daycare. I’m so glad I found Hound Around.
Good facility - staff seem friendly and engaged with dogs. Very polite woof van driver and owner Danielle always happy to answer any queries. They take dogs of all sizes it seems, but keep them separated by size/age/temperament. The area where the dogs are is secure and there’s loads of space for them to run around. My puppy really enjoys it. He goes straight to sleep when he’s back home! The only minus is the location if you’re not driving, as getting there by public transport is a mission. They do offer pick up van service though, but you have to book in advance and via email.
Great service, friendly, dog-focused staff, my pup loves it! Plenty of outdoor space, separate areas for different personalities so no-one gets overwhelmed. Indoor area for really bad weather. Really easy booking system. Excellent all round.
Dakota absolutely loves Hound Around Day Care. She runs in without a backward glance at me! She was only four months when I first took her for her introduction and was a bit nervous being a puppy with new surroundings and dogs, so we just tried with two hours to start with then four hours and now she goes the whole day once or twice a week. She is an Alaskan malamute so a big puppy but with the nicest temperament and just loves to play. Everyone is so lovely and caring towards her and this is obvious with how immensely happy she is going in and her interaction with Danielle and everyone there. Thank you so much for looking after her so well 🫶
Hound Around is an excellent dog daycare facility! The staff are all extremely caring and cautious with the dogs that go through their doors and treat them as their own! The space really gives the dogs a chance to run around and have an enjoyable experience every day! Highly recommend if you are looking for a safe space for your furry little friend ◡̈
Update to my review : some of the comments in the response below are actually not true at all, at the initial visit I was not allowed to watch from the window, despite asking if I could, and I was never insistent about her going into the field. I allowed the staff to handle this in the way they suggested and now I just feel it was not handled well. I witnessed a staff member grab her by the collar and pull her into the area before the door. This kind of approach can stress out anxious dogs. Original review: I tried to take my dog here after hearing some good reviews but was disappointed. They didn't introduce my dog to the existing dogs in a controlled manner, or slowly, they just put her in a field with a large number of dogs (up to 40 they said) that obviously she didn't know. If I were put into a group with 40 strangers I would be nervous too, and in my opinion this is not a smart approach. They were unwilling to work with her anxiety, told me she was mouthy with dogs, (which she does when she is exerting boundaries with puppies/badly behaved dogs), and they also said she was snapping at people, which in my 9 years of having her I have never seen her do except once when she was handled very aggressively by a vet. I was not allowed to watch or go out with her but what I did observe was someone aggressively pulling her by the collar. They just didn't seem to have an approach that embraces dog handling expertise. My dog went to a smaller daycare for years and has been hiking with doggy groups for a long time and never once had an issue. I agree that she does have some anxiety on initial meetings, but my expectation of a daycare that handles up to 80 dogs per day is that they should be able to demonstrate significant knowledge and expertise in handling and caring for dogs. And given that they were not willing to take her on as a client I did not expect to be charged for the 2 hour session, but they insisted.
Hound Around is amazing and such a find! Our Romanian rescue has taken a little bit of adjusting and has been so timid and nervous but after one day at Hound Around with the amazing staff and playing with the other dogs she has improved so much. Her confidence is soaring and going to Doggy Day Care is definitely her favourite day of the week - she is so excited to get there. Cannot recommend enough, the team there are fantastic.
Our dog has been going to Hound Around Day Care for a couple of weeks now and it has been fantastic. Danielle and the team are fantastic, reliable and really caring towards the dogs. Rocco is always really excited in the morning when we take him to day care and his socialization outside of day care has improved a great amount. The updates on instagram are also lovely to see!
This is such a great doggy daycare facility, it’s a gem! The site is large with plenty of space for dogs to play, the staff are all excellent, very caring and safety conscious, and we’ve appreciated the flexibility around changing pick ups and drops off to fit around our work and other commitments. Our dog is excited to go every time and always so well looked after, and tired out! Thanks to the excellent staff.
The best daycare! Our dog is nervous and Hound Around did everything to make sure he was comfortable from the start. They're really great with all the dogs and make sure they're all safe and happy. My dog is always excited to go so he also gives it 5 enthusiastic tail wags on top of the 5 stars.
Sharon and Carly did an amazing job with my two silly cats. They loved playing with all the toys! They were very spoiled. Can’t thank them enough for giving me peace of mind while being away on holiday. I got texts and photos at every visit which I loved. I will definitely use them again in the future!
This was the first, but certainly not the last time we used Purrfect Paws to look after our boy. Sharon was prompt with communication and her “meet and greet” visit. The setting up of a WhatsApp group enabled Sharon and Carly to send daily updates and photos. This also showed us what a great time Loki had with his “Aunties” (especially the bag of treats and tricks!). He was well looked after and that’s what you want from a great pet sitting service. Highly recommended
These girls are amazing! So highly recommended. Both carly and Sharon managed to get my boys to play with toys and be so loving to them when they normally don't. Our wee gizmo is such a timid boy and by the end of the first week he was up giving the girls love which was so reassuring to both me and my partner. 1000/10 recommend for your fur-babies🥰
I was so nervous about leaving my cat for the first time but Sharon and her team were fab! They arranged a home visit for me to meet them and feel comfortable and of course for the cat to met them too. The team kept in constant contact with me on the run up to them looking after the cat and during too with lots of pictures and updates making sure I knew my cat had her medicine etc! They really made me feel at ease about leaving. I would highly recommend Sharon and her team, your animal is very well loved in the care of her ❤️
Fantastic with our cats , professionally done with a genuine approach from Sharon and Carley. Highly recommend and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Great app/web link portal to enter our cats details and easy to pay the billing.
Purrfect Paws recently looked after my 3 cats when I was away for 10 days. Sharon and her Team were wonderful and I can't recommend them enough. By the end of the time I was completely confident that all the people who were looking out for my cats knew them all very well. My cats were so cared for, played with and petted and fed well which is saying something as 2 of my guys have complex feeding requirements and dodgy appetites. I received photos every day and I was completely reassured that they were in such capable and loving hands. Thank you so much, Sharon, Laura and Cherie.
Our cat is very nervous around new people, but Sharon was very patient and understanding - we couldn’t have asked for more. This was our first time using a service like this but would definitely recommend. I especially loved the daily photos, a lovely touch!
I recently used Purrfect Paws Midlothian for my two cats. I have to say, from the moment I contacted Sharon, she was so professional and very helpful. Cherie came to meet us and our cats and discussed all the details. It definitely took all the stress and worry away as I just knew they were going to get well looked after. While we were away it was lovely to receive daily updates and pictures when Cherie visited. The cats were happy when we returned. We will definitely be using this service again and again.
I highly recommend Sharon and her team. Sharon looked after our cat, Jasmine, wonderfully; spending quality time with her each day and sending me updates after each visit, which allowed us to enjoy our time away without worry. Sharon has an excellent way with cats; Jasmine is usually very timid and nervous around other people but she took really well to Sharon. I will definitely be using Purrfect Paws whenever we go away.
What a great first experience using Purrfect Paws to look after our boy Socks while we were on holiday. We were updated daily with pictures of him having loads of fun with the ladies! He has been looked after so well and Heather, Holly and Sharon went above and beyond to make sure he was safe and sound. Even coming back late in the evening to make sure he came home, wee adventurer that he is. Thank you ladies, we will certainly be using again in the future! Emma
We were away for several weeks and could not arrange for someone to stay to look after our cat Sheba nor did we want to put her in a cattery. A friend recommended Mel from Animals first and she did a fantastic job visiting daily, providing regular updates and even set up a camera to record Sheba's antics. Sheba is a shy little cat but Mel kept trying her hardest to entice her into playing and engaging but, when that didn't wotk Mel set up regular 'activity centers' which Sheba enjoyed greatly. Would strongly recommend this service for anyone needing a caring and kind service for their animal.
Mel has been helping care for my two older cats this year while I am away regularly with work. Max needs daily medication which Mel has been fantastic as administering. It takes all of the anxiety and worry out of leaving them when you know how well cared for they are. I receive photos and videos from each visit and I think they boys now like Mel and her bags of kitty toys more than they like me! I would 100% recommend Mel and the team to anyone wanting top class care for their cats.
Animal First is absolutely amazing! The wonderful lady took great care of my cat Orange. She showed great responsibility, love, and attention to detail. Not only did she provide care, but she also captured the most adorable moments through a series of heartwarming photos. Highly, highly recommended!
Mel is the most absolutely wonderful cat sitter my two cats have ever had. She came first to meet them and they took an instant liking to her. After the tunnel extravaganza she put on over one Christmas, she has now cemented her place in their hearts forever. I feel completely safe with leave Mel to take care of my two fluffy ones. She is really responsive and takes pictures as well so you can stay in touch with your cat while you are away. I can't quite emphasise enough how highly recommended Mel comes from me. I am sure if my cats could also have a vote they would give her five paws each. Reviewing as I can't remember if I've raved about Mel already. She is a total gem.
I first started using Mel not long after moving to Edinburgh with my 3 girls. I always got nervous leaving them when I was away but Mel is absolutely amazing and I’m now at complete ease whenever I go away. The girls are so well looked after and are most definitely spoilt rotten by her, she’s even won over Bailey who doesn’t warm up easily to anyone! (you can most definitely sense the disappointment when I walk back through the door). She’s always in contact and the amount of photos I get daily just put a cherry on top of everything! I can’t recommend Mel enough!
Mel is a great pet sitter. She brought lots of toys to keep my cats entertained and they sure had a blast. I got lots of photos and videos of them playing, too. The best measure of good pet sitting to me is, are my pets super needy when I return (meaning they didn’t get much attention) or are they simply happy? My girls were super happy and relaxed, so you can bet I’m over the moon with Mel’s service and will ask her again to take care of them when I go on holiday!
We booked Melissa to look after our cat for a week while we traveled abroad. She gave us updates (loads of photos and videos) every day. I'm pretty sure our cat had a better holiday week than we did! The care and love Melissa has for animals really shows and we're very glad we've found her. We would highly recommend Melissa as a cat sitter, and if our cat could type words I'm sure he'd say the same thing!
Mel is an absolutely fantastic cat sitter. I have two Bengal cats who need a lot of attention and playtime. She plays with them far more than any sitter I've had in the past, and brings a host of new toys for them to interact with during each visit. My boys are always excited to see Mel, and she sends me heaps of happy photos and videos of my boys playing every visit. Thank you Mel for taking such great care of my boys!!
My kitty was so well cared for and Mel really seems to love what she does! We were kept posted about how our kitty was doing and which toys she was enjoying. We were sent lots of photos and Mel was always fast to respond to any inquiries we had. So worth it!
Slightly don't want to recommend Mel purely for selfish purposes as I want to keep her to ourselves..! But honestly she's brilliant and our two cats definitely agree. Always a relief to know she's looking after them when we're away, with LOTS of photos of their adventures.
Ruth at PetStay is an absolute legend. Every time I’ve needed to book our toller in she’s linked us up with a wonderful carer (same family every time luckily, our dog loves them). She also linked a family members dog up with a carer a week before our wedding when there were no other options which saved the day. Fab service and can’t praise enough 😊
Could not recommend Petstay or Ruth highly enough. Immediately felt at ease during our first meeting with Ruth and Ann & Les. It is very obvious they love dogs and Max could sense that too as was not bothered when we left him. Regularly updated with photos & videos of his adventures. Max had a ball. He can't wait for his next visit in a few weeks.
Avoid, avoid, avoid. Pet Stay said they could cover a weekend for me. Booked to meet a carer - I had to take a day annual leave because the carer’s availability was so limited. Pet Stay cancelled this at short notice. They then rebooked me with someone else. This was also then cancelled. Spent a month wasting time emailing back and forth in total. This seems like a really disorganised and unreliable company - I’d not trust them with my dog.
No pet sitter availability in EH5/6/7/8/9 Post codes.
Fantastic service, I will be using Petstay for my dogs whenever I’m out of town.
My dogs didn't even want to come home with me, highly recommend!
Laura and Greg have looked after our dog Maisie on numerous occasions and treat her like one of their own. She loves her time with them and we love getting the picture and video updates to see how she’s getting on. Highly recommended - we trust them completely.
Laura and Greg looked after our 2 cats while we were away for 10 days, the updates with photos and videos meant we were able to relax and enjoy our holiday . We would definitely recommend Happy Paws and hope that they will be available to look after the cats when we book next year's holiday
Great service, Laura is absolutely lovely and takes great care of my dog Bernie on walks. He always comes back happy and tired! Would highly recommend
Laura is amazing, she's very loving and considerate of the dogs. Provides a top class service, my dog loved her.
Our dog Bentley goes to doggy day care two days a week and loves it. Cant recommend Midlothian Happy Paws enough.
Great Service from dog friendly and very knowledgeable staff
