Pet Sitters in Little Walsingham

Lovely stay for our two dogs and Dan is very knowledgeable and caring owner of the business. He is passionate about what he offers and people need to book well in advance which proves that once pet owners find a good place they have no hesitation in re-booking before they leave.

I think the dogs had just as great a holiday as us. They loved being with Dan and Elaine. Thank you so much

Great dog boarding; proprietor checks compatibility very carefully; plenty of space in house & well-kept garden with good variety & interest.

Our dog loves visiting dogtastic they take great care of him and treat him with love like their own 😊 …

Great people who really care about your dog. Well worth using this company.

Friendly. Dogs love it there, they gets lots of TLC

A place that really cares for your dog

Julie has looked after my dogs once a week for over 8 years. She is really caring and knows and understands my dogs individual idiosyncrasies! She provides excellent value for money, is flexible with my shift changes and always there when needed. My dogs have stayed overnight on some occasions and it is so reassuring to know they are being cared for by Julie in her caring home environment.

Julie has looked after our Labrador since she was 12 Weeks old, taking great care of her 3 days a week whilst we were working, now retired our Lab still stays with Julie on odd occasions. We would not put her anywhere else, as Julie treats her like a family member. Our Lab has stayed with Julie whilst we were working and when we have travelled abroad, being with other dogs in her home, has I believe greatly improved her socially with other dogs.

Have been using Dogs Vacation for a number of years now for long stays & shorts stays. Our two Labs love Julie & her place. As soon as we pull up in the drive way they know where they are & cant wait to see her and all the other dogs that Julie looks after. While we are away Julie keeps in contact & sends us whats app pictures & videos of our two labs having fun or just sleeping after a busy day. Such a nice touch to recive a picture or video of the boys while we are away. Julie thanks for taking such great care of our two Labs. From Stuart, Kelly, Max & Charlie

My Jack Russel has recently stayed with Julie for our annual 2 week summer holiday. This was the 1st time he’s been away this long so naturally I was a little worried. Julie put my mind at rest with sending regular pictures & updates on how he was & what he’d been up too. Julie is a lovely person, with plenty of dog knowledge & I left feeling confident that he was in very safe hands.

Julie regularly looks after my dogs. She is incredibly caring with the best interests of the dogs in her care at all times. They love going to Julie's and I can see they are having great fun by the photos she sends me. I trust Julie implicitly with my gorgeous boys and wouldn't want them going anywhere else.

Julie has been looking after Pepper, our Labradoodle when we go on holiday for the last 4 years. We have always been very confident that Pepper is well looked after, we get regular update and photos of her playing in the garden with the other dogs and she is always tired and happy when we pick her up. Couldn't ask for more for your dog.

Skip our lively labradoodle has been holidaying with Julie for 13 years. She's always excited to see her and comes home looking very smart after an expert groom. Julie is a thoughtful and caring host and we have complete faith in her. Highly recommended.

We were lucky to find Julie over 10 years ago for our terrier Roxy and have benefitted from her professional, passionate and personal care ever since, both with her and another of her hosts when she was full. She now looks after Roxy and her daughter Coco and my mum’s saluki Tessy regularly and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her. She is good value for a proper home experience for the dogs, regular exercise, cuddles and medication administration when needed, so our minds are at rest when we are away, especially for Mum who’s Tessy is of a nervous nature. Julie is friendly, efficient and very knowledgable and the quality of her care is excellent.

Alfie has been to Julie since we adopted him 10 yrs ago. He loves going to see her and play with the other dogs. Home from home, loads of affection, walks in the country, lovely garden to play in and competitive prices. Alfie also has regular baths at Julie's and comes home happy and smart. Would not go anywhere else.

My 7 year old dog has been going to Julie's since a puppy. He is always well cared for and I go on holiday knowing he is in safe hands. I especially like the fact he is in a home environment rather than a kennels.

I used Faye as a last minute booking to take my dog out as I could not. Faye was prompt, took time to chat with me about Peanuts needs. Assured me of her experience in dealing with dogs of his size but also his lunging towards other dogs. I think she sensed my worry and took great pains to reassure me.She also gave me great feedback on the walk. She is extremely polite, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend!!!

We’ve used for Faye for nearly a year now and can’t fault her at all, she’s very professional and our boys love their afternoon walks with her 😊 …

We went to Sophia at Petstay Norfolk to find a holiday home for our little dog Beryl. Sophia was incredibly professional whilst also bring thoughtful and considerate, knowing we'd never left our dog with anyone before. Beryl stayed with Sophia and her family, including her own dog Mary and had an amazing time. We didn't have any concerns, we got daily updates on what they'd all been doing and Beryl is nagging us to stay with Mary again! It was a great experience for all of us and one I can't recommend highly enough

Recently used Petstay & very disappointed.i was reassured that there was a lot of repeat paperwork to complete & a telephone conversation took place to ensure that the correct carers are found for your dog & received this reassurance in an email. I have a springer &, as any responsible dog owner would know, they need a lot of exercise, so finding the correct carer was important to me. I was very thorough to what I was looking for including allowing dog in the bedroom, not to be left for long periods, eating & walking routine on the form and in our telephone conversation. I was happy, for the extortionate fee I paid, that Petstay would do their job & found the carer for me to meet my dogs requirements. I went ahead with the meet, which I followed up with my own sheet outlining my dogs care, booked two separate 2 weeks dates with the carers. I then received continuous emails asking to complete the booking form & pay my deposit. As nothing was raised by our carers or by Petstay regarding her exercise I assumed that this was no problem & that two to three walks, one first thing in the morning to do her business, one lunchtime & one late afternoon would be carried out each day for 3/4 hour, which is what she was used to, with ball play in between However I became concerned after the first couple of days I left my dog with the carers when I received a message a few days later at 11.00 saying they hadn’t taken her out as it was raining. The update followed that they managed to get her out at. 2 when the rain had stopped.& no ball play due to the rain so she had only one walk. I had feedback following day that she was walked once late morning, I got further feedback that due to the rain they took her for one quick walk & these updates continued outlining just one walk even on better weather days. I didn’t want my dog to be embroiled in me being unhappy with her care & further suffering, I contacted Petstay to ask her to look for another care for my second lot of holidays I had booked as I was unhappy on the amount of exercise she was getting. I asked her not to say anything to the carers as I didn’t want them to take it out on my dog or not tell me the truth.Petstay came back midday the following day, so no urgency in dealing with my concerns, it was agreed that she would send a general email around to her carers about the necessity of exercise, so was hoping that would be the end of it However I got an email later that day saying “in their defence”, so now obviously defending the carer for not providing the adequate exercise, “it is really atrocious here at the moment and I don’t think your dog is suffering from having less activity for a few days” I was absolutely astounded that she thinks that because we have a bit of rain all dogs stop being exercised. I appreciate that some pampered pooches would bolt at being taken out in the rain but, as any responsible dog owner would know, a springer loves the wetter & muddier they get the better. When I am paying for a service I expect the dog to come first. ‘Bad weather is only bad if you are not dressed appropriately’ and this should not jeopardise the care & exercise of a dog. I chose to ignore this email just hoping the email she was supposed to send will rectify the problem, which in fact didn’t as exercise didn’t increase even in the better weather. I then got yet another email the following day from Petstay, whilst trying to enjoy my holiday, saying “having thought I wonder if Petstay is the best option for my dog in the long run” & then started going on that “it sounds like I feel that my dog needs a lot of off lead walk” deflecting from the main issue of her not being taken out. I have used boarders for the last 10 years for about 8 to 10 weeks a year & would be horrified if she was walked off lead It is quite apparent that the welfare of the dogs takes second priority to the carers getting a bit wet and this will not be highlighted until you have paid your money. Under the circumstances i would not use or recommend Petstay

It was our first time using Pet-Stay. The booking and pre-meet arrangements went really well and the Covid protocols were carefully observed. Janet and Arthur in Norfolk were great hosts with Jasper and Alfie, our cocker and labrador. They were helpful and friendly, are obviously very kind, and our dogs came back happy and in good health. Jasper is very elderly and they looked after his care requirements extremely well. They also sent photos while we were away. We are looking forward to our next trip in the autumn.

We have used Petstay Norfolk for a number of years and been very pleased. Unfortunately our usual carer has now retired. However, Sophia introduced us to Margaret and Kevin just outside Norwich and after a visit with them we signed up for 2 weeks in November. Whilst we were away we were sent regular bulletins and photos. Willow was obviously having a wonderful time and she was in no hurry to come home. We would not hesitate to recommend Petstay and Margaret and Kevin to anyone. Thank you all for the peace of mind you provided whilst we were on holiday.

I have never had a problem with this company but Sophia did not need to be sarcastic on the phone, and laugh when I ask for help I did not appreciate that at all! Was even arguing when the customer is concerned ! Please bare that in mind when using this lady. Not very good customer service.

Booked early in 2020, had to cancel our holiday because of COVID. No refund or credit

My dog loved it more than being at home!!!!

Very professional and good communication and easy to park there. Made a very good job of cutting my dogs hair

Brilliant service always happy to help .

Excellent transport and assistance provided by Michael for my first ever dog! He drove from Sheffield to Canterbury, stopping off at two service stations so my dog could exercise and make some mess! The car used was very smart and comfortable.

I have had the most amazing trip to pick my puppy stray up from Zante and drive all the way back to Yorkshire. My driver/courier, Norman was fantastic. The whole process went smoothly, safely and was a trip of a lifetime. They organised every last detail to ensure the dog and myself were comfortable and well looked after. Highly recommend this fantastic company. Expensive but SO well worth it. Thank you.

I travelled with my dog from Sweden to Wales. They were very professional and organised and even remembered our names when we would call. No issues with booking etc. Were given plenty of information and contacted by the driver days before which was reassuring. He arrived in a branded van and clothes which reassured me (I am a young woman) and was very professional throughout. The van was clean and well equipped for transporting my dog and we took regular breaks around every 4 hours. Well worth the money and would definitely use c four paws again. Thanks/Diolch!

We had Milo collect from London on Sunday with two cages and a carry cage and lots of toys. Milo was perfectly happy and items were in good order. Collected on time and delivered on time. Excellent service and driver was very nice. Highly recommended for animal transport. Will definitely use again if the need arises. Good job thank you

Calagran Four Paws and my driver Will were absolutely amazing at handling our cross country transport for a long distance move. Having a rather large Staffy x Old Tyme, who had sadly had to be exempted due to her size, I was even terrified to take her on the road in anything other than proper transport. And with it being such a long way I wanted a safe long distance option also for all round safety and comfort. Our needs were catered for with the upmost care and Will was absolutely amazing with my nervousness and with my lovely girls nervy nature. I couldn't have been happier and I plan to travel with them again. I can highly recommend them.

I highly recommend this company. I just endured an incredibly stressful and long importation process into Europe and finally into the UK with my 3 med/large breed dogs. CFourPaws went above and beyond to help me logistically with things they really didn't have to and was outside of their services. Provided much needed emotional support and were empathetic to my unforeseen financial costs. Really without people like Keith and Greig, I may have crumbled under the stress of it all. BIg animal lovers, BIG hearts and can't fault them. Thanks CFourPaws x

I have been bringing my dogs here for a few years now. They are always happy to come back and I love that the kennels share photos with you of your pets. The drop-off was very useful

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. In a medical emergency you were the first kennels we found after literally 100's of phone calls with spare capacity to take Casper while his mum had an emergency operation to remove a brain tumour. The 10x photo's you sent us showing him happy & thoroughly enjoying a run in the secure field were a huge relief to his dad & a massive boost to his mum's immediate recovery.

We recently used C Four Paws to transport our dog Adi from Glasgow to Heathrow for her trip home to Canada. David was a very kind and professional driver and got us to the Kennel at Heathrow on time in spite of some unavoidable traffic delays along the way. We’re back home with Adeline safe and sound and are very grateful for having used the services of your company and David for the first leg of our trip.

An absolute lifesaver when it came to transporting me and my cats from Dublin to Somerset. There was fantastic communication the entire time during the booking process and our driver Clive was incredible! They made what was a very stressful move for me and my cats, a very easy time and I cannot thank Clive and the whole team enough.

Not happy with the customer service we received during the covid outbreak I’m afraid. Our deposit was kept despite the circumstances which obviously was totally out of our control. As a self employed person I understand the financial implications for a business but passing the bill onto customers who are already losing out is just bad taste. Also, the dogs were scheduled to go to a couple who they had never met before (this was our second time using barking mad) despite being told during the registration meeting that they would go to the same people each time. A little disappointing as very pricey too.

I have always been really pleased with the service that I have got with Barking Mad our dog is always well cared for, we have never been let down by them I would recommend them to anyone, I could not put my boys in a kennel so it is perfect they get a holiday and we do not have to worry. When I get my older boys stuff ready to go he is at the window waiting then when they arrive he lets us know and can't get to the car fast enough. Thank you Barking Mad for making it easy for us. Jacqui & Steve Kirby

Our boy has been twice now and seemed like he had a great time, in fact he wanted to get back in the car for more. He clearly has taken to his host Dave and Caroline, so will definitely be sending him again very soon.

Fantastic company with quality service and extremely trustworthy. Would recommend to anyone looking for a alternative to traditional kennels or sitters. Thankyou!
