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.

Mother & Daughter duo, animal lovers, writers
Val and Ornella were great, they kept us updated on the cats and left the house very clean and tidy. The cats were indifferent to us getting back which is always a great sign that they've had loads of attention! We'd invite Val and Ornella to sit again without hesitation

What can I say? Stella is The zeewoi's Angel. The animals absolutely love her. She keeps in contact while we are away and the house sparkles when we return. Thank you Stella, for looking after what is most precious,

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

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

Professional couple available for house and pet sitting around the world.
This was our second house sit for Inka and we were delighted with how it went. Ali and Matt were lovely and are clearly highly experienced dog sitters. They made a great bond with Inka and took her on some lovely walks and trips. She even has new toys. Both Ali and Matt were very self-sufficient. Communication was just right- not too much or too little and we were able to thoroughly enjoy our holiday without any worries. We would be delighted to have Ali and Matt back in the future.

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!

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

Sandra & Rick are fantastic pet sitters! They looked after Archie our ginger Tom for a week and he had the best of times. Their communication before, during and after the stay is exceptional leaving us relaxed to enjoy our hols. The house was spotless on our return and we (and Archie) will definitely invite them back. Couldn’t be happier!!

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
We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
Kate was an absolute dream and was the best pet sitter I could have possibly asked for! Kate was extremely trustworthy, communicative, and reliable, and provided frequent updates while I was away. She left my apartment spotlessly clean and even took the initiative to fix my wobbly towel bar. Finally, Kate took excellent care of my cat Daisy and I came home to a happy and content cat! Kate was amazing all around and I would be thrilled to have her sit for me again at any time. Thanks for everything!
This was our first time using a pet or house sitter and the bar set by Leslie is very high! She is warm, friendly, communicative, responsible and very clean. Upon arriving, she immediately bonded with our rat terrier, Oreo, by bringing him a new frisbee (his favorite toy/activity) and throwing it for him in our backyard. Leslie has a sweet and mellow dog, Benny, who is now Oreo's new buddy! She kept my husband and I updated via texts/pictures of their daily activities, our house, and was proactive in asking questions before she left. She even dropped our dog off at the kennel for one night at the end of our trip since our flight was too late for us to get home for him! Our home was clean and had fresh flowers from our garden that she put in vases for us! Such a simple and nice touch! We have asked Leslie to come back to sit for us again for 2 weeks in August. I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pet(s) and home too!
Angie and Joe were fabulous pet/house sitters and overall people! Angie sent daily updates with photos. Really appreciate the extra effort they put into watering the grass and garden. The house was exactly the same as when I left (including sheets/towel washed, beds made, frig cleaned, dishes put away and trash taken out...). Pretty sure Mia was looking for them the next day as she ran to the guest bedroom. Already scheduled a second sit! If you're lucky enough to land them as pet sitter then you're lucky.
Lani is an excellent Pet Sitter and housesitter. Communication was easy, our pet Cleo appreciated her loving care. We came home to a relaxed and happy cat. I would happily ask Lani to housesit again.
Samantha and Scott are great sitters and we enjoyed hearing from them a couple of times while we were away. Our pets were very relaxed and happy too! Very happy to recommend them.
I have nothing but great things to say about Jill! She’s a wonderful sitter and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her capable hands while I was out of the country. She was thorough in making sure she knew exactly what each pet needed, had excellent communication, and provided me with daily updates. I came home to a house that was even tidier and more organized than when I left and two very loved pets. I would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a kind, caring, consistent pet sitter. Thank you so much Jill!!!
Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.
Sharon was by far the best sitter I’ve ever had! From the very first time we connected, she was communicative and proactive with follow up. She asked great questions prior to her stay and I could tell she’s done this many times and that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes she cares for. Sharon went above and beyond to leave my house in ever better shape, cleaning and organizing. It was a dream to come home to! Thank you Sharon!
Jacob sat for us during our holiday in March. We do not have any pets but we do have garden plants etc to look after. Jacob did a fantastic job of looking after the young plants that had arrived by post the day before we went away. He sent us regular updates and photos of how the plants were doing. We came home to a very clean and tidy house and thriving plants. Jacob did a great job and we have no hesitation in recommending him. If he comes back to the Uk and we require a sitter we will contact him first. Well done Jacob.

We were looking for a reliable, friendly and flexible kennel for our dog. He had spent the odd night away before boarding with Annette, but never any extended period. Annette put our minds at rest and our dog now looks forward to his holidays with her. We get regular updates and any questions are always answered promptly. Having researched the area, the prices are incredibly reasonable. As a family, we highly recommend Hairy Holidays as a safe, reliable and comfortable kennel for dog lovers!
It has been our Dogs second stay at Hairy Holidays and he absolutely loves it! 💙 Annette is lovely, great fun and very friendly. Our Dog remembered her and was so excited to see her and covered her in licks when we arrived! It’s lovely to see him running free in the garden and playing with the other dogs! It’s a beautiful location with plenty of space for the Dogs and we know that our boy is in safe hands with Annette.
We could not recommend Annette/Hairy Holidays highly enough. Annette really understands dogs and runs a very homely kennels in a great location with loads of fields to exercise in. Desmond dog has stayed there many times and definitely now considers it a dog holiday. He recognises Annette immediately and realises it's a home from home.🐾🐾
My dog visits here for day boarding, nights, weekenders and long stays over 4 weeks. He loves it and the fantastic activities and moorland walks he gets whilst in their care. Anette is his Exmoor mum and she keeps him in line! She sends you regular updates on long stays so that you know your dog is well cared for. Day care can be with 8-12 other dogs. They also have kennels. Overnight home boarding is in their home with their family and dogs (friendly working Cockers). My dog isn't the best at socialising yet he does really well from his visits to Hairy Holidays.
Annette was so helpful when we needed to board our dog Murphy last summer…every local kennel or sitter was sadly unavailable and so on our 13th try (lucky for us) Annette came to the rescue. She even offered to come & collect him when our travel arrangements made it difficult for us to drop him off. We are so grateful to Annette for being so accommodating despite being busy herself with a family wedding. Murphy had the best time - in such a beautiful setting too - running about the garden and in the fields with the other dogs. Can’t recommend this kennels & the proprietors highly enough.
Our 6 month old pup stayed at Hairy Holidays and loved it! Annette was brilliant with him and he obviously loved her and the other dogs. She took the time to send us photos and a message, mid-stay, to let us know how he was doing. We would highly recommend Hairy Holidays to anyone. Thanks Annette. 😊 …
We are so happy we found Hairy Holidays. From the beginning Annette was friendly, approachable and professional . whilst we were away we received updates and pictures of our girl out on walks enjoying herself, assuring us all was well. The weather was so bad whilst we were on holiday that Annette took her into her home and she was settled and cared for. What more could you want to know, that your pet is happy and well looked after whilst you are away. 5 stars from us.
We are a retired couple with a young, very energetic, Labrador Cross. We like to take lengthy holidays and need kennels that we can trust to, not only look after our dog but also give him the exercise that he needs. Annette is clearly a passionate dog lover and, critically for us, she takes them all out every day for long runs over Exmoor or down to the beach. Our dog clearly loves being in these kennels and comes home in excellent health, happy and well exercised. We are delighted to have found such a caring environment for our dog and thoroughly recommend these kennels.
I don't know where to start with the compliments for Hairy Holidays, Annette (the Owner) is superb, she helped us at the 11th hour with our dog who was unexpectedly in season, if it wasn't for Annette, we would of had to of cancelled our holiday in North Devon. Annette's Kennels are like brand new, very clean and tidy, she has a large garden for the dogs to run about in and also has about 8 acres of land down the road for the dogs to play together in. Our dog had an amazing time and it was also an amazing price. If we ever holiday in Devon again, my dog will definitely be staying with Hairy Holidays even if its an hour or 2 out of our way. Many Thanks Annette.
Thank you Annette @ Hairy Dogs for the amazing holiday our 2 girls recently enjoyed. Lots of walks, lots of play and interaction with other dogs and lots of attention all within a home from home environment.
I went there to a nice person and they gave me a splendid massage
Thank you for the 5 star review Kevin - we really appreciate it!
I have known Kim since she was very small, and her loving caring nature makes her the perfect choice, I have complete trust and confidence in her ability to care for your furry friends. Wishing you all the best in your new business adventure 😍😍xxx
I gave my Bichon a doggy care day with Kim. He was very happy there. He had 2 walks and lots of love and cuddles. I have booked him in again next week.. Thanks Kim..
Cookie enjoys going! Great service!
