Another wonderful sit by Charlie. The pups are so content with him and the regular updates we receive just show how happy they are! House was spotless and I really cant emphasise how lucky we are to have Charlie.

Professional, non-smoking couple with flexibility to travel and work remotely.
Yet another five star sit from Gill and Rob. As always wonderful communication before and during the sit and knowing that Olive and Elsa would be totally looked after and cared for made for a very relaxing time. As before the house was totally spotless when we got back and we really hope they'll be available when we next go away. Couldn't recommend Gill and Rob more highly!

Well Behaved Adult Looking for Well Behaved Pet to Sit
Your pet(s) will be in safe and reliable hands with Beth. We didn’t have a lot of hand over time and yet Beth left us confident that all would be well and it was. We would happy have her back. Our dog clearly loved her too.

Animal loving family with 4 years experience house-sitting (nearly fifty sits)
Laura, Paul and the children sat for us again for 2 weeks. Everything was perfect when we returned and it was difficult to believe a whole family had been sitting everything was left so clean and tidy. Barbara our cat who has been poorly and needs regular medicine seemed back to her old pre-ill self, very contented and the chickens also seemed very happy. I'm hoping they can come back next year too!

Conscientious and friendly sitter looking to make furry friends around the world
Eleanor was just the best sitter and the loveliest person! A very interesting and intelligent woman, I would have happily chatted with her all night! (I’m quite a shy, solitary person so that says a lot about her warmth) It was all very last minute as Peggy was due to go and stay with a friend but she had an accident and had to have an operation so I thought it was better she stayed at home. Eleanor looked after her beautifully, followed all instructions diligently including giving medication. Peggy was very taken with her, Fiesta too who apparently brought her a delightful present of a mouse! (A good sign whether you like it or not!) Eleanor is the perfect balance of sensible, practical, caring and affectionate with the animals. She even comforted them both during a storm. The house was spotless and all the laundry done. I really couldn’t have asked for anything more, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her wholeheartedly. Eleanor I so enjoyed meeting you and I hope you’ll come again. Thank you from all of us x

Net and Dave, retired, non-smoking couple, willing to travel the UK & worldwide
Annette and Dave were absolutely great! Extremely easy to communicate with at every stage of the process - planning ahead and asking all the relevant questions. They were in constant touch throughout the stay with lovely photos of Fergus and Oreo - always reassuring when you’re away from your precious furry friends. The house was immaculate when we got home and I would not hesitate to ask them back to sit for us and can thoroughly recommend them! Thank you for helping us out at relatively short notice!

Naomi was an amazing sitter for our dogs. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly attentive to every detail we shared, making sure the dogs felt loved and cared for. She was also very flexible, kindly agreeing to stay a day before our departure. It was clear she truly cared for them, going above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and happy, having a long walk with the dogs or playing with them. When we returned, our home was spotless, and the dogs were relaxed and happy. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend Naomi and would trust her without hesitation in the future.

Hiya, I'm Sheila
Shiela was lovely. The cats were beautifully cared for and Elsie was so well groomed . We were late back due to bad traffic but Shiela stayed on late to look after the pets.

Professional couple who love cats & dogs, being outdoors and helping out
Francesca and Jonathan were fantastic! Given their proximity they came to visit us and the cats before we went away to ensure the cats were comfortable around them. This allowed us an opportunity to walk them through the house and routine which amazing and a first for us. The house was immaculate when we returned home and the cats were so relaxed. We were also blessed with a lovely little gift from Francesca and Jonathan which was so generous. 10/10 sitters - we highly recommend.
Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back
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.
Diane and Les were excellent pet and house sitters. Jet was a very happy dog when we returned and Diane had shared many photos of their days together while we were away on holiday. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and some milk , bread and sweet treats had been left for us, which were very welcome after our 2 long flights home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diane and Les as sitters for your home and pets, everything was done to a high standard and Jet was happy in his usual environment , which is all we wished for. Many thanks to you both.
Angela provided complicated medical care for my sick dog for three weeks in Mexico City with the utmost professionalism and kindness Right before Angela’s arrival, my dog was hospitalized and almost died. Angela took care of follow up vets visits, administered eight medicines a day for two weeks, and nursed tico completely back to health I could tell from the photos and videos that she was taking excellent care of him - he was too weak to walk so she made a comfy bed for him in a large bag and carried him a over the city so he could still have fun during his recovery I could not recommend Ángela more. She went so far above and beyond what a pet sitter should do, and she did it all with a caring and capable attitude
Emily and Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one. We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc. I can't recommend them highly enough!
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
Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.
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!
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
I was fortunate to have Lisa as a sitter for my active, 7-year old lab mix (Ozzy) for a week in Bend. Lisa took the time to meet us via Facetime and in person before her stay. It was apparent she wanted to be well-prepared and aware of any special doggie needs he may have, or any help I needed with watering plants or bringing in mail. She took great care of Ozzy while I was away and sent me regular updates and photos of their outdoor adventures. I returned home to a very happy dog and a house exactly as I had left it. I'd welcome Lisa back anytime!

This was our first time leaving our dogs whilst we went away and they seemed to have as good a time as we did. I was so impressed with the detail taken during registration to ensure our dogs were matched perfectly to their host. I had regular updates and we were able to relax knowing they were having the time of their lives. The updates provided by our host were both heartwarming and reassuring and I look forward to using the service for years to come. Thank you Lindsey for your attention to detail. We are so grateful for such a fabulous service.
I cannot rate Barking Mad highly enough! Our host was amazing at keeping us updated with all the lovely walks and trips out she had with our dog. It was so reassuring to see that he was being cared for and loved just as much as if he were home with us, we only have one problem, he probably now wants to have visiting rights as he’s had such an amazing time 😀 We wouldn’t hesitate to use again as know we will be 100% confident that our precious pooch is safe and well in Barking Mac’s care. Fabulous service start to finish, especially the lovely postcard 🥰
We decided to sign up as a backup when going away. Normally Biggles goes to partners parents. It worked out to be a good decision. Biggles is used to having the complete run of the house including the beds 😀. Barking mad matched him up perfectly. I had updates on what he was doing and he looked happy. I would definitely recommend using barking mad.
We recently contacted Kerri to find a holiday home for our 6 year old Cockapoo and the experience has been amazing from start to finish. Kerri is efficient and professional but she is also clearly a true dog lover and put us at ease from the get go. She took the time to get to know us and our dog Teddy and the match she offered was quite frankly made in heaven. Teddy has had her trial visit with a lovely host couple and we are thrilled, we got lots of lovely updates on how she was doing and it became very clear that they too are true dog lovers and Teddy was not only having a ball but was clearly happy and safe. We have now booked her in for our holidays and feel absolutely at ease that we can go away and she will be having a wonderful holiday herself. Knowing that our much loved family pet is in safe hands and happy is worth it's weight in gold to us. Barking Mad is clearly not just a dog sitting business more importantly it is a passion and we can't thank Kerri, M&G enough. Thank you Kerri, M&G from Deby, Graham, Izzy and most of all Teddy x
Our puppy had never stayed in a traditional kennel and a friend suggested Barking Mad. Kerry and her team are fantastic. Kerry matched our dog with some wonderful families and he absolutely adores staying with each and every one of them. He gets so excited when he sees Kerry coming up the driveway and jumps into the back of her car and sits beautifully while we sort out his holiday bag. We can go away without any worries, knowing he is being looked after by people who love dogs and he is having a wonderful time.
We have used Kerry at Barking Mad for five years and to be honest there is no way I would use anyone else to care for our two Labradors whilst we are away. The service Provided by Kerry and her team is totally professional and caring. From the onset Kerry went out of her way to find out about our dogs and their day to day routine. Thus enabling her to match them to suitable hosts. The hosts are all personally vetted by her and look after the dogs because they love dogs and their companionship. As soon as I start packing the dogs belongings for their Barking Mad holiday they get excited (in fact wound up like two springs) and when Barking Mad arrive to collect them they are eager to get into the vehicle and off on their holiday. Upon arrival we always get a short video and an update, which is reassuring. Then during the course of the holiday, we get regular updates on what they have been doing and how they are getting on. I totally trust Kerry and know that she cares about the dogs in her care as much as the owners do. The dogs come back happy and content and clearly have had a great time. I would not hesitate in recommending Kerry and Barking Mad. thank you for always being there for our dogs
At first I was a little anxious at the thought of our pup being placed with a host we did not know but Kerry was very professional and reassuring. She showed us pictures of the hosts and places our dog would stay and their history with Barking Mad. We had updates throughout our holiday and more reassurance! I'm certain that our dog had a lovely holiday, which meant we did too. The pick up and collection was a big help too when trying to pack to go away; just one less thing to have to factor into the getting away on holiday mayhem! Thanks Kerry and the Barking Mad team for taking the worry out of leaving the "furry child" behind ;-)
Our little Jack Russell Rosco has just returned home from his first few days with his Barking Mad hosts and what a happy little chappy he was. I could immediately tell that he was relaxed, happy and had been well loved while we were away. I contacted Kerry after a friend recommend the service as we had only ever left Rosco with family before and I wasn’t sure that he would settle in a kennel. Kerry came over, met Rosco, and completed his registration prior to the mini holiday. She came and picked him up on the day, and within an hour I had already received a video of how he was settling in. Kerry kept in regular contact with updates which really put my mind at rest. Kerry and Rosco’s hosts have been absolutely marvelous, I cannot praise them enough! I am so happy and relieved to have found them and I’m sure that Rosco is very happy that I have found them too.
There is no where else I would take my dog to be looked after when I go away. I have have a terrible experience with a different dog care company which left me with lots of anxieties with regard to leaving him with anyone else. But I had no need to worry, because 'Barking Mad' are absolutely fantastic!!. I was sent photo's and video's of him while I was away which put my mind at ease that he was having the best time ever! Kerry came to see me and my dog initially to see what his temperament and needs was, which again was great as I could see how passionate and loving Kerry is towards the dogs that go into her care. We went through his food patterns and amounts, also his walking patterns so he his carers could mirror his home lifestyle. I honestly can not praise Kerry and her team enough, they have the biggest 5☆ I could ever give. If your protective and love your dog as much as I do, then do not hesitate, contact Kerry or a member of her team. You can be rest assured that your dog will have the best little holiday ever whilst your not with them ❤.
Otis, our beloved Labrador, absolutely loves staying with his Barking Mad hosts John and Pauline. Whenever we go on our holidays he stays with them and receives the very best of care. My family and I can relax completely, knowing that he will be looked after as if he were their own dog. Kerry is amazing. She found Otis his perfect host home, and takes care of absolutely everything. We don't feel guilty for going away on holiday without Otis - we feel guilty if we don't go away, because he loves his Barking Mad breaks so much!!! Otis (and his humans) cannot recommend Barking Mad highly enough.
Very disappointing service - did not walk my dog and stay when agreed over holiday of 10 days - family ‘popped in’ to check when we had our suspicions raised after a neighbour said our usual non barking dog was continually barking. Very …
Becca came to walk Otis while I was away! She was very friendly and Otis loved her! Also enjoyed the cute photos! Couldn’t recommend enough! 🐶 …
