Qualified vet nurse, with farming background looking UK and international sits.
Jill has house and pet sat for me again this year. I felt comfortable having her look after my animals especially knowing that she had experience looking after sick animals. She sent me regular pics and videos and I felt happy and confident that they were looked after. Thank you so much.

Bridget (Bee) sat for us for three weeks this summer. This was the second time she had looked after Maggie and our house, and we have asked her back again this Christmas, which I think says it all! Bee is warm, friendly, kind and considerate. Her first priority is always to make Maggie happy and feel loved, and we have come home to a very content dog, who I think is missing Bee a lot! Bee sent us photos or videos on a daily basis while we were away, telling us what she'd been up to with Maggie. She looked after our garden beautifully - we came back to a perfect lawn and a well-watered, happy garden. It was wonderful to know that she was enjoying the house and garden while we were away, and she left everything spotless. We couldn't recommend Bee enough and fingers crossed she can sit for us again! x

Caring and considerate home-owners
This was out first house sit with Melanie. She came to visit prior to her stay, to meet the dogs and familiarise herself with the house. Melanie asked relevant questions about the dogs routine, feeding etc, so we left feeling very confident, the dogs and house were in safe hands. Although we were only away for one night, we were sent photographs of the dogs out walking on the beach and a message from Melanie reassuring us that everything was fine. When we returned home, the dogs were happy and well and the house was left incredibly clean. We hope Melanie and Robin will be available to house sit for us again. Thank you both.

Reliable, trustworthy, ANIMAL Loving, practical, non smoking couple
Julie and Nick have sat for us before and will be again later in the year. As ever they are very efficient and nothing seems to phase them at all. Our boys love them to bits in fact we don't get a look in when they are around so I am pretty sure their pet care is second to none. Both Julie and Nick are lovely people, friendly and chatty and we would wholeheartedly recommend them

Responsible, friendly, animal loving vegan couple available for house sits

British couple pet-sitting and exploring the world!
I recommend Caroline and Barry without hesitation. We had a phone call before we met and talked through their experience and our expectations. I had no concerns from that point forward. They messaged shortly before arrival to check all was as planned and to arrange a time. We had dinner together and a long walk with Laz to check all was OK before we left the next day. Barry and Caroline are independent, resourceful and clearly capable people. The house was as clean as we left it, towels in the wash. I couldn't have asked for more. Barry responded quickly to any messages, asked how much contact we would like and sent some lovely reassuring photos and messages of them out with Laz. Laz was in great condition when we returned after a week away, coat shiny and obviously well exercised. The photos of their days out together were evidence of how much he was included in Barry and Caroline's stay and exploration of all that mid Cornwall has to offer. Laz is a great car traveller. You don't know he is there and he is happy to go for days out, especially if there is fuss and food in with it! They are friendly, sociable and easy company. I'm really glad that they applied for our sit. They endorse all that zeewoi hopes to provide and I would be very happy if they could return another time. For those lucky enough to have Barry and Caroline apply to sit, accept! You won't regret it....

Caring reliable sitter for your home & pets
Grace and Tim were the first house sitters that I’ve used. Luckily they live locally and so I was able to meet up with them before the sit. They arrived when they said they would and did a great job of looking after my dog and house. I had very regular updates and photos to keep me reassured and things were all in good order in my return. I would happily use them again and recommend to others. Thank you both.

Quiet and experienced house/pet sitter, lover of animals and nature.
Sarah is a brilliant house/pet sitter. Wouldn’t have known she’d been here.I have booked her again.Very reliable,friendly and communicative. I felt totally happy to leave her to look after my cat
My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.
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!
Michele is a great pet sitter for my dog Charley! She keeps me informed and sends pictures. I came home to an immaculate home! I hope she will come back 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.
From her promptness to schedule a pre-sit call to her truly thorough tidying of our house, Stella was an amazing housesitter from start to finish!! She read all the info we put together ahead of time, and asked for clarification on just a few things which made us confident that the pup and the house were in good shape :) Stella was really gracious when we admitted to not having a coffee pot, and handling things calmly when there was an incident with street parking. Maybe most importantly though our dog Luke was calm when we came home. I think if future sitters are clear in their expectations around frequency of communication/photos and the dogs needs then Stella is the perfect person to exceed your expectations!
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
Alia is awesome and we have used her several times. She is a 5 star rated sitter every time. The dogs are happy and the house is perfect when we get home. She even cooked dinner for our arrival home because we came home late. Highly recommend Alia!!

Mr Bob my 8 month old Labrador goes to Oh My Dog every week when I’m working. Juliet and Eugene have created an amazing facility for the dogs where they play and socialise. Juliet has helped me so much with advice along the way with Bob. I love the photos and videos I get sent of him during the day. He loves Jules he can’t wait to get in her van when he sees her 🖤🐾 I would highly recommend their business for your dog. I totally trust Bob in their care 💯
My 2 young rescues absolutely love it here! Juliet and Eugene obviously genuinely care for all the dogs and know them really well. I always feel like I'm leaving them in safe hands. They come back exhausted from adventures in the woods and playing on the equipment which is great! Highly recommended.
My puppy Teddy went to Oh My Dog for daycare while we were camping near by. Juliet was kind, accommodating and supportive throughout and Teddy had a lovely time. I highly recommend oh my dog, especially for those who aren't a fan of putting their pups in kennels!
Highly recommended Oh My Dog. Juliet and Eugene are lovely people who definitely care about the health and overall wellbeing of your dog when under their care. They have been very accommodating with our Great Dane who has been going now for several months and thoroughly enjoys it, and we are content knowing that she is well looked after. Juliet and Eugene provide updates, videos and photos during the day and are upfront and honest if any issues arise. Happy dog and owners 😊.
Juliet and Eugene have created something truly special with Oh My Dog. We have a sweet and very nervous rescue, plus we are first-time dog owners with our own confidence issues, none of which were judged or dismissed by these wonderful kind folk. Juliet made me and our girl Alice feel safe and welcome immediately, and went above and beyond to help us acclimate. We visited multiple times, increasing her time in the facility with each session based on observing her behaviour and body language. I learnt so much! While it is still unclear if Alice will ever be fully joyful to enter a roomful of dogs, her confidence and ours have been positively impacted by this kind of safe socialisation in ways that have changed our lives. Our trust in each other has grown, our bond is stronger and this has opened so many doors for her quality of life to increase. Thanks to her 'exposure therapy' with Juliet and all the other gorgeous pups at Oh My Dog, Alice has now made multiple new dog friends locally, and is enjoying off-lead time at a dog-friendly beach. I don't think these things could have happened without Oh My Dog, and Juliet and Eugene's wisdom, generosity and kindness.
Absolutely cracking service, friendly staff and a great environment for the dogs; our little sprocker spaniel Tilly had a fab day here playing with the other dogs and the staff. She was worn out! We received lots of updates and videos which helped settle our minds whilst our pup was “in nursery” lol thank you so much for fitting us in!
We are so fortunate to have found Juliet and Eugene at Oh My Dog, they are the most kind, caring, gentle and lovely humans and have an amazing passion for dogs which was apparent from the moment we met them. Our whippet has been spending one day a week with them for over a year and is always very happy to go in when we drop him off. He has such a good time enjoying lots of play, socialisation, an afternoon snooze and enjoys lovely woodland walks each day where he can let off some steam with zoomies. Juliet and Eugene are so knowledgable about dogs and their behaviour and personalities and we completely trust them with our dog who means the world to us! They send us pictures and video updates which always brightens a day at work. Thank you J&E for the excellent, professional service you provide :-)
Juliet and Eugene are absolute superstars - we are so lucky to have met them. They are lifesavers and we feel so relieved to know that our dog is having the best care during the day! They have great knowledge and understanding with our dog, as well as how all the pack interact. They work hard to find amazing walks and our dog always seems relaxed/ exhausted at the end of the day! I couldn't be more grateful and wholeheartedly recommend them! Thank you!
Luna absolutely loves coming to Oh My Dog - her excitement is palpable as we draw near. She would definitely go every day if she could. Juliet and Eugene create a kind and fun atmosphere. You can tell that they really understand and love dogs🐶🐶🐶 …
We can't recommend "Oh my Dog" enough. We were looking for a place where we could drop our dog off whilst we explored the area looking for our new house. We took our little Jack Russell to see Juliet and Eugene initially for half a day to see how she would get on. She had a great time interacting all the other dogs and we booked her in for several more sessions. Both Juliet and Eugene adore dogs and are patient and caring. It's a shame we are moving to a different area as we're going to find it hard to find a place as good as theirs. Thank you to both of you.
First time in ages putting our Henry in kennels, I did say he was a lady's dog, and a bit anxious, a bit unsure about men too, but apparently he became best of pals with Kenny.. So well looked after and played and walked at least 3 times a day. Can't thank you enough for your love and care of our big black fur baby.
Our go to kennels for when our cat needs to be looked after. New owners Kenny and Sabrina, both really friendly and helpful, and good price, £10 day if you provide your own food. Cats all have individual large pens with scrstchposts and other items, with heated sleeping compartment and music is played during the day to help keep them chilled!!
Wow what can I say, I was so so nervous to put milson in the kennels for the first time as he’s a rescue dog and very anxious especially towards men. But serina and kenny really are fantastic at what they do! I couldn’t recommend this place enough.. thank you both for keeping my fluffy pooch safe and happy 🫶🏻 p.s he can’t wait to his next holiday!
I was a little worried about leaving my dog at the kennels she's never been before, but I didn't need too. When I picked her up the children were telling me how quickly she runs after the ball and super fast. Telling me she's been happy and has been very good all week. Which made it feel like home from home. Only one downfall was that they were too busy when I booked her in for me to look around. Will definitely use it again
My dog Barney stayed at Blackdown over the Christmas Period. Really great service and will definitely use you again in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of him. Highly recommended!
A lovely family run kennels. It was clear just how much Ken cared about my treasured dog. When I picked my labrador up it was clear he was a happy dog and also very clean too. Thank you Blackdown Ring- we look forward to booking again.
New couple have taken over the place and, which only being there 3 months, have made a massive impact on how the place is perceived. Lovely couple with a strong passion and a vision for the future of Blackdown Rings Kennels and Cattery. Will use them in the future! For our two dogs (one is reactive)
Unbelievably poor experience, would recommend turning and running for the hills. I called ahead on the day that I was due to drop my lab off at the kennels for the weekend and asked whether when I dropped her off, I could see where she would be staying/ sleeping which is a very reasonable thing to ask (and I think most owners would want to see this too), the owners responded rudely saying that they were too busy, that no staff wanted to take customers on tours, and that last time they let someone in they took up way too much of their time. I said that I fully appreciated how busy they were and promised to take up 5 mins of their time at the most to just see the kennels make sure I’m happy leaving my dog there and leave. After about 5 mins of back and forth on the phone I was told that I should find somewhere else to take my dog. I found it completely astounding that they find it so unreasonable that owners would like to see where their pets will be staying and think it’s a massive red flag that the condition of the kennels are very bad, or that there’s something dodgy going on there. Would certainly recommend that people look elsewhere. Will also be reporting to the local authority that inspections should be done.
I wanted to board my cats here and made enquiries, and I was delighted to hear they had availability. However, when I requested (as per their website) an appointment to view the facilities, I was advised that this was not possible as they were too busy at this time of year to show anyone the cattery. I was told that if I was booking my cats in, I would need to hand them over at the gate and would collect them at the gate upon collection. I did query this because as a pet owner, I want to see who and where I am entrusting them. I was surprised that this was considered an unreasonable request. I therefore can not review the cattery on its facilities, as I haven't been permitted to see them and the website itself shows no photos of the cattery. My review is based on the facts presented. I won't be booking my cats into premises that I haven't checked for suitability.
Refused to allow us to see the cattery premises. Something seriously dodgy going on here. We thought we would be shown around on arrival but was met at the gate. We had to leave them because too late to find somewhere else but worried all week about how my cats were. On the way to home to collect them we phoned ahead & asked to see where they had stayed. Was refused & again we were just met at the gate. Will never use these people again.
Taras has been boarding at Byrer Down for many years. This is a home from home for him. He's a 10 year old Samoyed and he always comes back to me Happy, clean and well. Great find. I recommend it to others. Good people who love animals 🐶💜 …
Been using Byter down kennels for a few years. Can honestly say I wouldn't be happier leaving our dog Hugo anywhere else. Patrick and his wife are always so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They care for the dogs with so much love and respect. Our dog, as happy as he is to come home never looks unkept or unhappy. Would definitely recommend Byter down. Thank you for everything.
Patrick and Clare have taken really good care of our dog Pip. I got to see where she was staying, good, clean and secure area with walking pens. She looks great on collection. Just want to say a big thank you and we will be undoubtedly booking with you again in the future.
My two dogs had a lovely week and where very happy and well cared for. Such a nice feeling when your away knowing they are being cared for . Thank you so much
So nice to see all the good reviews of Byter Downe, and each of them well deserved. We have used the Cooper’s for years and my wife’s father before us. Patrick and Clare have taken great care of each of our dogs and everyone of them always were happy to see them and the kennels. Can’t give them higher praise, well done to you all.
Very friendly, accommodating and well priced. They remember my dogs name and his character. It feels like leaving him with friends, when we drop him off he's keen to go and when we pick him up he's less keen to come home.
Our two dogs have been to Byter Down over the past few years and they always go there excited and looking well and happy on collection. We have a Vizsla and she is prone to dropping weight but never does during her stay here. Even after two weeks. Highly recommend ⭐️
My late dog Bilbo always came to this kennels when we had to go away for a weekend or few days. Sadly he died 4 years ago but this kennels was his favourite Bilbo used to run to the lady when we dropped him of. We will use this kennels again when we are up that way with our other little dog. Thank you so much
After viewing kennels we booked our Border Collie Meg in and after picking her up today after just over 2 weeks stay we were very happy to see her fit and healthy and obviously well cared for. Will definitely book again if we need to. Thanks for looking after her
I have complete trust in Patrick and Clare. They run the kennels in a friendly and very professional manner. The dogs are always happy, never bored and very well cared for. Super kennels, always clean, great atmosphere and always time to chat! I thoroughly recommend Byter Down Kennels for any type of dog.
