Fun loving, energetic, adventurous & caring couple that love all animals
Phillipa and David were wonderful, loving and caring with our 6 fur babies. They all looked happy and healthy on our return. Communication was brilliant, we felt we could message any time for an update and we were kept well informed. When we got home Phillipa had a delicious vegan stew ready for us, which we were very grateful for 🙏 Our home was kept clean and tidy and David even did some gardening, keeping our garden looking beautiful. Thank you both so much, hopefully you will be seeing you again next time.

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.

I’ll ensure that your pets and home are cared for while you’re away.
It was great to have Richard back to take care of Monti for a longer stint so we could enjoy a stress free honeymoon. As per our previous review, Richard took great care of Monti, was very communicative & left the house immaculate. Highly recommended

Cat cuddles at the ready
Helen was amazing. So organised and with brilliant communication. One of our cats unexpectedly had an injury so he needed medication and a visit to the vets for a check up, Helen did this for us with out any issues and was informing us every day of how both cats were. Helen left the house in perfect condition to come home to and the cats looked happy and healthy! Would definitely love to have Helen sit for us again - highly recommend!

Dedicated, reliable, non-smoking, pet-sitter
Martin arrived the previous night due to a long drive to ours which was agreed on both parts. This allowed us to start our holiday a day earlier. Martin kept in touch everyday. Videos pictures and updates on their walks; forever grateful for these. Frank has become a fussy eater recently. Martin changed his daily allowance to twice a day which Frank has enjoyed; will continue to do so hopefully. House was immaculate on return. Bedding washed and hung on the line. Puppies walked prior to his departure. A true gent. Thank you for looking after our siblings with such care, passion and devotion. Safe journey ahead to you. It was a pleasure meeting you.

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
David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again! David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away. They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out! David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it! I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)
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!
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
I've always been lucky with my sitters through zeewoi, and this time was no exception. George, Larissa and their four lovely children were the absolute perfection in house guests and I cannot praise this wonderful family too highly. They did all the usual things you'd expect, gave my beautiful girls all the love and care I could wish, walked them at least once every day despite the best the British weather could throw at them, and sent me regular updates and photos so I could see how much love they were getting. They also left the house cleaner and tidier than I think I've ever seen it! I'm a bit worried that all they did for the week was walk and play with the dogs and then clean the house - I'm beyond grateful, the place looks amazing! They really are the very nicest people too, George has a hilarious sense of humour (thanks for the funny texts George!) and Larissa is calm, kind and an inspiration as a mother. I really can't wait to have them back to look after the girls again in the summer and wish the whole family a wonderful trip until then. If they come and house sit for you then you are in for a real treat!
Such a great family! George, Larissa and their crew were a fantastic bunch. Our large senior dog got an eye infection right before we left for our trip and so we had to ask them to do some extra eye care. When it was clear that it wasn’t getting better they were willing to load up Lorax and take him to a vet appointment and then apply the prescribed ointment for the next week and a half. Definitely above and beyond care that we really appreciated! Our house was left in great shape, our pets were super well cared for, and George and Larissa were great communicators. We have had many many sitters over the past 3 years but this was the first family. Nothing to worry about, they were terrific and we would happily have them back again. Thanks for taking such good care of our fury family and our home!
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!
Tom and Diana were perfect house sitters and guests. Great company, our dog immediately made herself at home with Tom. Animals loved and cleaned. House spotless, great communication and even left a thank you card and gift when they left. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!!

Dora thoroughly enjoys her regular dog daycare visits. What a superb and friendly atmosphere from the very caring and thoughtful daycare staff and facilities. A 100% recommendation for this fabulous facility, and a big thank you to everyone involved.
Dogs Day Care is one of the best decisions I’ve made for my pup! Winnie LOVES attending and is so excited each time she goes. Karen is amazing and is so caring towards every dog there. I was a little anxious when my miniature sausage dog went for the first time at a young age but Karen was very reassuring and sent me regular updates and pictures to let me know Winnie was doing okay. The area of which Dogs Day Care is located is beautiful and there is lots of land for the dogs to go for their daily walk. A life of luxury! I couldn’t recommend Dogs Day Care enough and I wouldn’t send Winnie anywhere else!
My dog absolutely loves going to Dogs Day Care. Fantastic location for the dogs to play - acres of private fields for walkies as well as their own garden to enjoy throughout the day with great facilities doggy sandpit and pool for the summer as well as Indoor areas that are just like being at home. Karen is great with the dogs and my boy always come home tired out and eager to go the next day. Highly recommended Dogs Day Care to anyone!
Our dog Coco has been attending daycare for 5 years now & has loved every session. She jumps out of the car and makes herself straight at home. Karen & Jim treat her like a princess, she enjoys the long walks, paddling pool, playing with her friends, and her favourite bed under the heater in the winter. We would highly recommend this amazing doggy daycare & have done to all our friends who now also attend, keep up the good work!
I highly recommend this doggy day care. Karen and Jim are friendly and welcoming ensuring the doggies are well looked after and tired when you collect them. My Labrador has been going for about 6 years and our recently rescued spaniel has now joined the crew. Both absolutely love running around the fields and playing with the other dogs. Fabulous place.
My Springer Spaniel, Milo, has been with Karen and the team for around five years now. I honestly wouldn't leave him with anyone else. From the moment I met Karen and saw the beautiful land the dogs can enjoy, paddling pool, sand pit and cozy beds, I knew it was the best place for him and that he was in the best hands. Milo loves turning into the drive and cries with excitement the whole way down to Day Care, then snores the whole way home! Thank you so much to the whole team for looking after him so brilliantly, and for tiring out my Dartmoor Beast!
Great location for any dog owner to leave their dog. Dogs day care is set on private land with plenty of room for dogs to run around. My dog loves going to day care & always comes home tired. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! 100% recommend Karen and the team to look after your fur baby!
Very professional set up. The dogs are cared for as if they are their own whilst also not being allowed to just ‘free roam’. They introduce new dogs calmly to the group and restrict numbers for safety of all. Large green site with a controlled dog walk included. Very rural and not a concrete play park like some others locally.
Dudley has been going to Dogs Day Care with Karen ( and Jim) and all his doggy friends, since he was 12 weeks old ( and his predecessor, Dillon, before him) He always leaps out of the car and is delighted to be there. He has lots of walk, games of ball and cuddles and usually doesn’t want to come home! Many are the days when I would happily stay there and send him to work in my place - he definitely has the better deal!
Karen and her team have been looking after Big Norm for a fair few years now, and they do so as if he was their own. He loves it there and always comes home shattered from all the exercise (sometimes muddy too - but that's mostly his own doing!) , but always desperate to go back. It's a fabulous facility, all the dogs are so well looked after and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dogs Day Care to anyone who asks!
Took great care of our precious dog Freddie and our house for two weeks and we had great communication from start to finish with Running Duck which put us at ease. We were kept up to date with photos and updates which was so lovely. He especially loved his walks and playtime with Glenn, and we could see they had really bonded. They really do look after your pet and home as their own. The house was kept safe, clean and garden watered too which was so appreciated. Don’t hesitate to book Running Duck for your next trip away you and your pets will be very glad you did. Thanks again Glenn and Mandy for everything.
Another brilliant house/dog sit! Thank you so much. We relax so much more knowing our pup is having his own adventures with Jenny and George. They are the perfect house guests and incredibly caring and trustworthy. See you again next year! Xxxxx
Having both retired, we planned a once in a lifetime 6 week trip to Australia, but were very anxious about leaving our pets, particularly our dear dog Barley. Jenny juggled schedules in order to fit around our dates, so that Glenn and Mandy were able to cover the whole of the time. They took excellent care of our home, our cat Chip's, and our precious boy, communicating with us regularly via WhatsApp, attaching pics and videos to reassure us.
Glenn & Mandy were excellent pet sitters. They visited us before our trip to meet us and our two spaniels. While we were away they kept in touch with photos & videos. We returned to two happy dogs who had been very well looked after. We have booked Glenn & Mandy again for next year and Jenny for our autumn trip. Highly recommended.
Instantly took to everyone concerned at the Running Duck Pet Services. Jenny is incredible at communicating and arranging cover, and Glenn and Mandy are fabulous with all our pets. We see the delight when they arrive on our Pugs faces, and it's non stop love, care, attention and frolics from the minute they arrive. We are kept up to date with pictures and communication daily whilst we are away. The Running Ducks are our absolute favourites, and they are now part of the family. All of them are such lovely genuine people. Highly recommend, although don't book them up too much please, as we need them free to cover our pets!!!
We would highly recommend Glen and Mandy. Our English Foxhound is a rescue and can get worried when new people first come to the house, so we were a little apprehensive at someone coming to stay. Glen and Mandy kindly came over one morning before the holiday and in no time Buddy was wagging his tail and Glen was his new best friend. From then on, we felt confident that Buddy would be very happy with them and we were right. Just back from holiday and Buddy has had a great week, with lovely walks, games and being spoilt and is his happy, relaxed self. Thank you for understanding our boy.
Glenn and Mandy looked after our 2 dogs and cat for 10 days. One of our dogs takes medication twice daily so it was important to us to feel comfortable with the people looking after them. Straight away Glenn put us at ease, he discussed everything we would need and reminded us of things we had not even considered, ie informing vets etc. We got daily updates from Mandy, enough to ensure our minds were at ease but timed perfectly so as not to bombard us during our time away. Our plants are in better condition than when we left due to Glenn's green fingers. Cannot recommend them enough, and have already booked next year's holiday!
We recently nipped off for some sun, leaving our two Lardy Labs in the very capable hands of Running Duck. This is our second trip since moving to Wiltshire and because Glenn was already booked, George came up from Dartmoor to attend to their every need 😆 We got regular photos of their hikes and chill out sessions, but we never worry about them when away as we know how much love and attention they are showered with. The house is always clean and tidy on our return, which is an added bonus. We would not hesitate to recommend Running Duck for not only your Fur Babies, but your home too.
This was the first time we had left our 2 year old lab overnight and we were apprehensive, mainly due to her suffering occasional seizures and needing daily meds, but from the start Jenny was great, she put our minds at ease. Communication was clear and responses speedy. Skye warmed to Glenn quickly and we have felt confident in booking a holiday for next year, so thank-you Running duck services, we would highly recommend Glenn & Mandy :)
Another wonderful experience. Able to enjoy a lovely family holiday knowing our home, and most precious family animal members were safe and in good hands. Glen sent us lovely picture updates and kept our entire menagerie happy. Thank you.
