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.

Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
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.
Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
We initially accepted Deirdre and Jason for a long stay to look after our dogs. We were very happy they accepted. A few weeks later we realized we needed another sitter for another trip we had planned. So, we posted more dates on zeewoi. To our happy surprise, Deirdre and Jason reached out to us saying they could also look after our dogs and home with the new dates we posted. This made our life much easier and we were very confident to have Deirdre and Jason stay longer with us and care for our dogs. We were definitely right!! D&J have countless experiences on zeewoi with very good reviews from all of their previous sits. They are very experienced with all aspects of a house/pet sitting. D&J are very self-sufficient, have the background knowledge and education of pet care, and most importantly a genuine love for all animals. This is most important for my wife and I. We knew from the first meeting with our pups they loved animals. Communication was excellent. The process before and during our sit was stress-free for us. We were given daily updates on our dogs including photos and videos. Any concerns D&J had were vocalized to us. D&J are also problem solvers and know how to react many challenging situations. Our routine for our pets was followed immaculately and all dogs were very happy and connected with them. Even our female dog Kinki grew close so quickly with D&J which is very rare. We had ZERO issues while we were gone and we were able to really enjoy our trip while we were away. The dogs definitely love being around D&J. Homecare: We are very pleased with the condition of our home when we returned. It was clean, free of clutter, and exactly how we had left it for them, if not even better! D&J even mowed our grass and took care of our yard! Our yard is not a small garden. It is very big and takes hours to mow. So we were very surprised and excited to know they did that for us even though it's not expected of our sitters!! They definitely went above and beyond what is expected. Our dogs are so very important to us. When we know we can trust our sitters it's the best feeling in the world. We definitely trust Deirdre and Jason with our most prized possessions and we look forward to the next sit with them in a few days!!! We can't thank them enough for giving our dogs the love and attention they deserve. We highly recommend Deirdre and Jason for your future sittings and you can always feel free to contact Izabela and I about D&J for additional verification from us. They are fantastic! Thanks so much Deirdre and Jason! -Allen and Izabela
Nicole and Gabriel were excellent house sitters and we would highly recommend them to anyone. Our dog absolutely loved them and she was spoilt rotten. The house, pool and yard were kept clean and well looked after. On a personal note we also found both of them interesting and great conversationists.
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!
Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly. We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house. Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues. We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs. Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

Alby, our nearly 9 month Sprocker Spaniel, has been going to steve for the last 3 months at least once a week. We honestly can’t speak highly enough of Steve and the service he provides. We can guarantee a tired out little pup at the end of the day - which is very difficult considering how much energy he has - and we know he’s safe, well looked after and loved! It’s lovely to get updates off Steve throughout the day, and seeing Alby having the best time makes it so easy to take him week after week. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now!
5 years later and Bella is still going to Steve. He’s essentially her 2nd Dad. She loves it. Couldn’t recommend any more. Absolutely fantastic service and always willing to help and support. ————————— Bella, our 7 month old black lab, has been going to Steve and his family for doggy daycare since she was only 3 months old. We needed help with juggling busy lives and Steve helps us out massively and has treated Bella like his own dog and welcomed her into his own home. She has regular daycare twice a week but if we need more Steve does all he can to fit her in. She’s had her first couple of sleepovers and boarded already and is booked in for her summer holidays next year. She loves her time at Active Canines, playing with her mates, going for walks and comes home very happy and tired after a fun day. The photo updates throughout the day are very much appreciated as she’s only a pup - but we don’t need to worry about her as she’s treated so well. Wouldn’t go anywhere else and would highly recommend Active Canines. 10/10 + for looking after your precious dog - she’s very safe in Active Canines care. This is a family run business at its best.
I would definitely 100% recommend Active Canines, Steve has been looking after Sadie our 6 yr old springer for 3 months now, doing doggy day care and a 10 day holiday. I have never left Sadie with anyone but family in the past, but due to a family holiday I needed to find someone I could trust, Sadie took to Steve straight away and settled in very quickly, she gets on well with all the other dogs in the group and loves her off lead walks. Steve also keeps us updated daily with pictures of Sadie, which is so nice to see and reassuring that she is happy and being so well looked after.
Ozzy has spent another week with Steve, he always has a great time and comes home happy and tired. It's great to get photos of Ozzy during the day. Steve always takes Ozzy for lovely walks but also makes sure he has some relax time (very important for 9 month old lab puppies who would run all day if they could ). Can't recommend Steve enough.
I was recommended Active Canines by a lady from work and it's the best thing that's happened to Stanley, my one year old black Labrador! He absolutely loves going to see Steve and all his new doggy friends! Stanley comes home and just zonks as he's physically and mentally tired from a day of fun! Stanley regularly goes to doggy day care now. Steve, the owner, is a really genuine guy with a vast array of knowledge and experience with all types of breeds. I would without a doubt recommend Active Canines very highly... your pooches will love them! #5starservice⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Steve offers an excellent dog walking service. He is very reliable and most importantly my little dog loves going out with him and the other dogs. She has also stayed overnight, it's like home from home and I know she is in safe hands. I would highly recommend.
This was the first time our spaniels Watson and Millie had been left away from our family so to say that we were apprehensive was an understatement. We needn't have worried though, as they were made to feel so welcome by Steve and his family in his 'home from home' and the photos throughout were very reassuring. Thanks again and we would not hesitate in recommending Active Canines!
My border collie has had a great time with Steve, he would frequently take Sergi to his home and send pictures of him socialising with other dogs which was very nice to see! You can definitely tell that Steve puts his heart and soul into looking after these dogs needs! He was also very reliable and accommodating to my changes in shift patterns.
Steve has just looked after our working cocker, Sam, while we were on holiday. It was great to get daily photos of Sam, enjoying himself with the other dogs. It’s reassuring to know we have someone we can leave our dog with.
Steve has been walking our cocker spaniel for a few months now and it’s a relief to know she’s in good hands. It’s lovely getting photographs of her playing with her doggy friends! Having a reliable and trustworthy person on hand means a lot and is a weight off my mind. Many thanks Steve!
This is the 2nd time we have used the services of Barking Mad & once again it has been a great experience. We had a few reservations, as our Pug Lola is now 12 years old & virtually blind. Joanne placed her with a lovely couple Val & Colin who looked after Lola with the same love & care that she receives at home with us - she even went to their caravan (we were asked our permission first) & were sent some great photos during her stay. When she returned, it was obvious she had been very settled with her Foster Family. I would, without hesitation recommend Joanne & Barking Mad Durham.
Bailey - the nervous Newfoundland From beginning to end my experience with Barking Mad was excellent. When I first contacted my local representative I explained about my 18 month old Newfoundland being a very nervous dog - even more so because of Covid restrictions we haven't been able to go far for the last few months. Joanne came to meet Bailey and walk with him to see the type of situations which made him nervous. She offered and overnight stay before our holiday. This really put my mind at ease. Throughout the holiday Joanne kept in touch sending us photos of Bailey. She really met his needs, getting a paddling pool out for him on the hot days, using the 'blaster' hair dryer and brushing him daily . He returned to us with his coat in excellent condition. She'd obviously spent a lot of time on his daily groom. I would highly recommend doggy holidays with Barking Mad.They had all safety measures in place for Covid.
I was a bit hesitant too about not meeting hosts where Floyd was going to stay but after meeting Joanne I had complete faith and trust in her As advised by her Floyd had his trial overnight stay before we went on our main holiday and he was absolutely fine and loved by the hosts.Joanne provides a first class service not only for Floyd but also the owners, thanks so much to the service , confidence and reassurance you provide so dog owners can have a restful, carefree and relaxing holiday knowing that their beloved pet is well cared for. Thanks again Joanne and Barkingmad dogs .
We never really settled boarding our last dog, who sadly passed recently, so when the new pup arrived we looked for dog sitting and found Barking Mad. Their service is top shelf stuff. Home visit to gather info. Dog placed with foster parents that suit the dogs needs. A bio of people and place that will be looking after your dog. We also got daily photo updates which are very reassuring. Collection and delivery of dog and all his shackles. Joanne from Barking mad took care of everything. We cant falt her or the service. And a special thank you to Opie's foster parents (wont name them here). Our dog came back very happy after his deer stalking holiday :)
This is a great 5* Trustpilot rated service. Your pets are in safe hands with Karen who takes great care in matching the perfect host family to your beloved furry friend. You can go on holiday in the knowledge that your dog will receive home from home care with lots of cuddles and walks.
I haven't used Barking mad but I got in touch and learned that we don't get to see where finn stays , I just find that odd ..I would never send him anywhere unless I'd checked it out first
We decided it would be good for our dog Spot to have one day a week to interact with other dogs. She has so much fun with Tracey and burns up all her energy playing with her new doggy friends. Always sleeps well when she gets back home. Tracey obviously loves the dogs in her care we wouldn't take Spot anywhere else.
Well what a fabulous couple. We didn't want to put our pooch into kennels so searched the web for a dog sitter and came across Tracy and Fari. Felt really comfortable after the first meeting and arranged a 9 night stay with them (for our dog not us !! ) They have a genuine affinity with dogs which is clear to see. My husband hadn't got back home before we had a video clip which really did put our minds at rest and I especially felt happy that our precious pet was going to be very well looked after and go on holiday without worrying. We had regular video clips throughout our holiday and I used to look forward to viewing them as we did miss him as he is such a big part of our family. We were blown away how happy he seemed and were concerned he wouldn't want to come home !! Tracy is very experienced in looking after dogs and even trained Fudge to catch treats which we have kept up ! ! I do not normally recommend but on this occasion I have raved about Tracy and Fari. We won't hesitate to book again in future .. thank you for looking after our Fudgey !!!
Oh my Tracey is amazing, this was my dog first time and at 11 he is set in his ways a bit, but was so happy staying here, he is booked in again in May, Tracey sent me videos of him, really put my mind at rest that he was in a safe, secure and loving environment, would definitely recommend.
A brilliant place, I wouldn’t go anywhere else and neither would Meg, she loves being with Tracy.
Tracy is fantastic with our dogs. Great service
Thank you!
I can't recommend Lisa and Stephen highly enough. My fur baby Tilly boards with them when I go on holiday. They look after her so well and attend to her medical needs. They provide daily videos of their walks and send regular photos of Tilly. I would highly recommend them to friends and family without hesitation.
I cannot recommend Lisa and Stark Treks enough! She has looked after our puppy Milo from the beginning like he was her own. She’s provided us with so much support, guidance and knowledge. I have never worried about Milo when he has been with Lisa and he bounds in on a morning!
What an amazing place for dog care. Lisa looks after your precious dog like its her own . Lisa and her partner send regular photos and videos and I'm sure our dog likes to be with Lisa as much as she likes to be with us. I couldn't recommend Stark Trek enough they are amazing.
Chester and Murphy absolutely love going on their holidays to Stark Treks. Both our dogs have medical needs and we can go away knowing they are fully looked after and loved! Lisa sends us videos and photos every day. It's their home from home!
Max loves staying with Lisa. He is looked after so well and makes himself at home as soon as he gets there. We have been using Stark Treks for nearly three years and would not consider leaving Max anywhere else. Thanks Lisa for treating Max as if he is your own.
Lola absolutely loves her holidays with Lisa and Stephen. Whenever we pull up at their house she cries to be in there and doesn’t look back! The daily videos and message updates show exactly why she loves going there so much!! It is her second home and we would highly recommend. We are so grateful to have Lola looked after so well. Thank you both so much ❤️🐶🐾🦴 x
We've been using Stark Treks for around a year, since our puppy was only a few months old and we couldn't be happier with the service. Lisa clearly loves and cares for all of the dogs she looks after and our Cockapoo (Buddy) is always so excited to see her. We are first time dog owners and often received good advice from Lisa, we know is he in good hands and is well looked after the two days a week he is with Stark Treks!
Duggee absolutely loves going to Stark Treks for his holidays. I feel totally at ease, knowing he is in good hands and he's having a blast. When I go to drop him off, he can't get in the house quick enough. I love the daily updates of his adventures. Duggee has a protein allergy and can only eat a specific diet with only a small selection of treats. At Stark Treks, they really do, do their research to make sure your dog is well looked after and safe. I love that they also use a tracker when taking your dog out on their adventures. Duggee is booked in for his next holiday soon.
I can't recommend Stark Treks enough, Lisa & Steve (and Alfie 🐾) have been amazing with my fur baby Bertie. After trying a few daycare places i was anxious about leaving him while I went on holiday as he just wouldn't settle anywhere; after a couple of sessions at Stark Treks he was desperate to go back and pulls me up the drive every time we walk past the house (whether booked in or not!) His socialising skills with other dogs have improved massively and he walks so much better both on and off lead.....no more chasing after him yelling gravy bones 🤣 i had no issues leaving him while I was away and from the daily video & photo updates it looked like he had the best time too 💙
I cannot praise the Stark Treks team (Lisa and her husband enough. My dogs have enjoyed a number of ‘holidays’ at their home. They are exceptionally cared for and well exercised. The regular videos and photographs of them, on their walks, are greatly appreciated. When I arrive at Lisa’s home, they are excited to leave me and go straight to her which tells a story in itself! A friend recommended Stark Treks and I am so pleased she did. Tip: Get your dates booked in well in advance to avoid disappointment. I have learnt this the hard way!
I can't recommend Sarah from Square Care highly enough. She is flexible, responsive to messages and tries to accommodate us wherever she can. We use the dog walking, dog boarding and cat visit services and our pets love Sarah! The dogs are always happy with her, and she sends us regular photo updates so we are reassured. Excellent service, thank you
I’ve been using square care for about 6 months and Sarah is great. My dog isn’t the easiest of dogs and he needs a solo walk which is no problem for Sarah. She’s also flexible enough to accommodate any short notice change to walks I have needed in the past due to shift changes. 100% would recommend 🙂 …
Sarah is wonderful with my cocker spaniel, from the first he met her he has been completely at ease with her. Every time she come to see him he gets so excited to spend time with her. Definitely 5 star rating and we would recommend her to anyone. Thank you.
Sarah walks my 2 dogs on a regular basis, she always respects my wishes with the girls and has never let me down, She is trusted with a key and always leave house secure. Recommended by myself and girls.
We have been using Sarah at square care for near enough a year now, and shes amazing with our dogs, shes very accommodating and never let's us down and the dogs love her....would highly recommend sarah to anyone....
Dogs are happy we are happy what more can we say 😊👍 …
Coopers Crèche is an absolute lifeline for us. Our puppy has been going for 11 months now, and it’s great to be able to drop him off at a place you have full confidence he’s going to be well looked after, has fun and ends the day ready for a snooze. All the staff there are friendly and you know they have the best interests of your dog while in their care. They treat the dogs as their own and for me that is a major plus. The crèche also has a store, which is well worth a visit! Plenty of treats to stock up on for your dog, alongside toys and things to keep your dog pre-occupied. They have always been helpful where they can with tips on how I can train my dog, tips on foods. If you need a place to take your dog during the day while your at work, this is the place to go!
A much needed place for dogs and owners to actually INTERACT. Too many places are either a day care or training place (which these also are!) ... and the 'free style' socialising gets overlooked - so at last - a place where dogs can be dogs, they can learn correct social signals and body language and play in a safe, observed space to ensure they are balanced and fulfilled. It has such a relaxed feel with sofas and toys for the dogs and owners - I took in my take away coffee and just sat on the floor and enjoyed the fur balls all having fun - great for your own pleasure never mind your own dogs - if you are a nervous owner who is a tad protective of your dogs and need to learn how to read your dogs and others in order to relax and let them play - this is a must go to place for you - you will learn how dogs signal and how to just relax and allow the play to unfold rather than worry for the safety of your dog. Busana is a very stable dog, but a little timid to start with - none of the dogs bothered her and she was able to sniff and get involved at own pace and eventually she was wagging her tail and sniffing many butts heheheh .... she is fast asleep having been utterly fulfilled today :-)
Our dogs second week at Cooper’s Crèche socialisation time. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Excellent set up, lots of room to play & plenty of toys. Our dog loved it. 👍 …
Staff are professional, friendly. They do a great job and treat your dogs as if they are their own. Fab service.
Clive had a lovely 1st groom.
My late amber used the service In her final weeks of life . Very kind and compassionate . Now little Bella absolutely loves her visits once a week . For walks , cuddles and socialisation with other dogs
Suzanne has looked after my little dog over the last year, and he just loves to see her, you can totally trust her with your fur babies. She's friendly, caring and professional.
Fantastic care my dog Titch has been there a few times and he loves it he cry’s to get in the house so you know he is happy thanks Bev
Carla has been an absolute blessing. She is reliable, trustworthy, very professional and provides an exceptional service that I would be lost without. To me its such a massive comfort that when I go to work to know my dog will be cared for and the thought of the doggie van coming to pick her up with her other doggie pals makes me feel excited for her and jealous that I’m not there too. From the start Carla made sure she got to know my dog and her routine and gives her such enormous love and compassion and more importantly my dog loves her too. My dog has been going since she was a puppy and the socialisation skills she has gained has been a massive influence for when she is among other dogs. Each walk she is not just getting proper exercise but also having fun sniffing, running, rolling, and playing plus I get loads of pictures and updates along the way letting me know if she has behaved herself. I would never want to be without Little Brown Doggie. Carla has gone beyond her duties many times giving me hints and tips along the way when I have struggled. I think even if I didn’t work id still want my dog to go because the skills and behaviour my dog has gained and continues to gain (and me!) are so important and its been such a great influence.
Carla is a lovely lady and you can tell she really cares for your doggo,'s, love getting picture updates from her to see who my pup has been with, would highly recommend her. Gypsy just loves Aunty Rach :)
We are so lucky to have found Carla to look after our cats and bunnies! She is professional, friendly, very caring and provides a first class service. It was so reassuring to know that our pet family were in such capable hands. Carla sent photos and videos and we could see just how happy the pets were in her care. We could just relax and enjoy our holiday. It was great to see Carla playing games the pets! We will definitely be asking Carla to look after the furry tribe again and I can't recommend her highly enough. Many thanks Carla! D&G x
Little Brown Doggie provides a fantastic service for our dogs, who both love their daily adventures with Carla. Always reliable, flexible and very helpful - we have no hesitation in highly recommending this dog walking service. We go out to work knowing the dogs are in safe hands, and that they’re having a great time. Thank you, Carla!
Carla has been fantastic ever since we have been using her to walk our dog Millie. She walks her 4 times a week and Millie always seems to of enjoyed her walks and you can tell she has been on a good walk to exert her energy! We are also very grateful for the photos of Millie on her walk which she sends to us after each day which serves as both entertainment seeing some of the fab and funny photos as well as reassurance that you know she has been out on a nice walk each day. Carla also provides very good communication to update us early on any of her holidays etc which allows us to plan effectively. Overall a fab service!
We would highly recommend Little Brown Doggie. The girls are reliable, friendly and it is absolutely clear that they love our dog. Having been customers for a while, the service gives us great peace of mind that our family pet is cared for and well looked after on his daily walks. Carla keeps us updated with photos and it is evident that our dog is very happy in her care. So happy in fact that he looks for the van on days when we walk him ourselves. Amazing service.
As a family we cannot recommend Little Brown Doggie highly enough!! We have been customers since our Springer was around 1 year old and the confidence and relationships he has built since walking with Carla and the other dogs is astounding. Carla offers such a professional, caring service that we would be lost with out her... as would our Cooper! The dogs are indeed Carla’s number one priority... they enjoy secure transportation, fun walks in the countryside and the care and attention of a very conscientious dog walker. We have one happy dog while we are at work which is wonderfully reassuring.
We have used Little Brown Doggie for 4 years; Carla is amazing. Her genuine love and enthusiasm for her work is evident and our dog loves going for his walks with her- he adores her. She is super reliable and is very accommodating when we have to change our dog’s walks- even at very short notice! We receive daily photos and updates of his walks and you can see how happy he (and all his doggy friends are) on his walks. It is such a lovely touch when we often don’t see her due to being at work. I would strongly recommend Little Brown Doggie.
Carla is fantastic with our puppy, he's always so happy to see her! She always sends pictures from the walk, the places they are going look very nice. We've particularly liked the fact she arranged for shorter walks when he was very young, even carrying him so that he didn't have to walk too much! Very much recommended.
Carla at little brown doggie looked after my 5 month old kitten whilst we went on holiday. She sent us many updates throughout our holiday which put us at ease and we knew he was having a great time. I think he prefers her over us!! Carla is fab, she even offered to get supplies in for us for our return. I would 100% recommend, and so would my kitten!
We had an outstanding experience with Petpals! Leaving our two bunnies in their care was the best decision. The daily updates with adorable pictures not only brightened our day but also reassured us that our furry friends were in excellent hands. The genuine love and attention they provided made our trip stress-free, knowing our bunnies were receiving top-notch care. Highly recommend Petpals for their professionalism and the extra mile they go to keep pet parents connected and worry-free! Best wishes to everyone at Petpals. Love from Joyce and Pedro, and from Snoopy and Deku.
We recently moved to the area from Sweden and one of the first things we knew we needed was to find someone to watch our two cats if we were away. After looking into a few different services where you bring your pet to a location, my husband stumbled on Petpals Darlington & Yarm. We were happy to find a service where people would come to our house rather than us having to take the cats somewhere as travelling can be very stressful for animals. From the beginning, our interactions with the staff at Petpals D&Y was really wonderful - everyone we spoke to was lovely and helpful, and setting up an initial meeting with Jill was quick, easy, and hassle-free. We went on holiday to visit my in-laws over the Christmas period and despite the awkward time of year to work, it was clear from the daily updates that everyone who came to look in on them didn't shirk out on giving our cats time and attention. They seemed knowledgeable about cats - with Jill pegging their breed within a few minutes of meeting them, even, despite it not being a common breed in the UK - and we were assured that if the cats were to become ill that they work directly with a specific cat veterinarian in the area that they would bring them to if necessary. Overall we felt very safe and confident leaving our animals (and access to our home) in their care. We loved the daily updates in particular, with pictures, and when we returned it was to two super happy cats who seemed more calm than anxious. Staff from Petpals D&Y even left them a little Christmas gift that they went crazy for 😂😍. Best petsitting service I've ever used. The price is very reasonable - cheaper than services where you bring your animals somewhere where they'll probably mostly be in cages all day - and setting up dates for them to watch the cats is incredibly easy. Will absolutely be using them again for future trips, short and long, and would 100% recommend for people who are a bit anxious about leaving their furry family members behind on holiday, work trips, etc.
I can't speak highly enough of the service provided by Petpals. While we are away we know our 2 cats are in great hands. They get a visit every day. Litter cleaned and water refreshed. Then they will get a little play time and some one on one attention. Shortly after we receive an email detailing all the exciting events that have happened and a lovely collage of our little kitties. It's something we genuinely look forward to each day we are away. Thank you so much.
This is the second time I've used Petpals and once more I cannot recommend them highly enough. I came back from a long holiday to a content, settled and well looked after cat!! Rachel has been great with him, following his routines, playing with him and making sure he had his cuddles. I loved seeing the photos and reading her daily reports that were making me feel like I was there for a moment. I could tell he has in good hands!!
I did not expect the level of care, attention and obvious affection shown to my pretty independant cat whilst I was away on holiday; Rachel sent me daily reports along with lovely photos, not only did she feed him but she spent time playing with him, grooming him and cleaning him up too when needed as he is long haired. Rachel took the time to tell me how he was on interaction too, playful, mischievous . And on top of that she cleaned his bowls and took all the pouches away for recycling. A really fantastic service all round and I wholeheartedly recommend Petpals to everyone who owns a pet.
Cannot recommend this service enough! My little nervous dog has totally come out of her shell since starting group walks with the dogs, she is picked up and dropped off and absolutely loves all the dog walkers! Also extremely accommodating if I need an extra short notice walk!! Many thanks to the petpals team, smashing it! 👌 …
I cannot recommend Petpals Darlington enough for the care and attention they gave our two cats during our recent family holiday. I was extremely panicked when we first went away as I've never had our cats looked after by anyone other than family and friends but Jill calmed my nerves and even checked the GPS tracking to ensure our cats were being attended to as planned. Our two were attended to by Rachel and then Patricia during our week away and both ladies were fabulous with them. We have a sickly youngster but both ladies cleaned up after her with no bother! Our cats were fed, litter scooped, clean water and most importantly played with and given valuable outdoor time in their catios. The daily service reports with photos were excellent and wherever we were adventuring on the island, we all stopped to hear the daily updates! We arrived home tonight to happy, content cats, clean litter, filled bellies and a lovely card. Thank you to Jill, Rachel and Patricia for treating my two cats so well and with so much care. Thoroughly Recommend 😊
A very professional service from the beginning. Good assessments done with my fog prior to at services being agreed. I've used their walking service regularly and they have a portal that's easy to update if anything changes with your dog. I've also recently used their dog sitting service. We were paired with a lovely man who I think spoiled my girl more than I do. He was a superstar!! I love that they give you a short report after every walk & lovely photos. It is so reassuring to see that your dog is well looked after. The same with the dog boarding - daily photos & updates. I would highly recommend their services.
I can’t speak highly enough about Petpals, their service and their team. As a business owner and a single man I can’t always be home as regularly or consistently as I ought to be for Edwin, but Petpals are always there and look after him as though he were one of their own. Whether that be daily walks, boarding when I am away or even any behavioural challenges he might present. It is great to have such trusted and competent people in my/ our corner. Thank you
I recently used Petpals dog walking service for my two dogs, Eli and Ada, while I was away on holiday. I could not recommend Petpals high enough, they took brilliant care of both my dogs, they sent regular updates and photographs and I had total piece of mind that my dogs were having as much fun as I was. Thankyou Sam, Clare and Diane for your top notch work 😊🐶
