Sarah and Steve -respectful, considerate and kind
Sarah and Steve were just brilliant. We could not have left our pets and house in better hands. From the first FaceTime meeting to the end of the sit we felt confident and comfortable that we had chosen the right people to trust. I can highly recommend Sarah and Steve.
Sharon
Shildon, United Kingdom
An animal loving couple Looking forward to caring for your home and pets.
Sharon and Jeff were great house sitters. Arriving early after we changed the times they came straight in and met the dogs. Mutual love at first sight. We returned to a clean and tidy house and happy, groomed dogs that have been sulking since they left. We went off confident that they could copy with everything which is just what you need when leaving for 2 weeks. Hopefully they will sit for us again with better weather !!

"Supersitter' looking for opportunities to travel and meet more furry friends.
We would not hesitate to ask Jane back and would hope she comes when we next go away. Olive and Mu were well looked after and completely content when we got home. everything in the house was lovely. Best of all, Jane is friendly and struck up an immediate rapport with us and our pets. We appreciated updates and photos sent to us.

Susan

Pet lovers. Friendly, professional, mature, reliable retired couple.
Sue and Michael were great housesitters - very nice people, totally reliable, trustworthy and communicative. Our dogs took to them immediately and didn’t seem to miss us at all! The house was left beautifully clean and tidy. We would thoroughly recommend Sue and Michael to anyone looking for housesitters.
James
Shildon, United Kingdom
Respectful trustworthy caring late-forties guy who loves being with animals
James was an absolute delight with our little dog who loved him and enjoyed their time together and many walks. His communication to us whilst we were away was excellent, texts, photos and videos, and never frightened to ask about anything he was unsure off. It was lovely to meet such an easy going and kind guy and to listen about some of his adventures. We wish him all the very best in his many future adventures, thank you James 🙏🙏🙏
Paolo
Shildon, United Kingdom
Active couple very experienced in caring for a variety of dogs and other animals
If you are lucky enough to have Paolo and Sarah looking after your dog and staying in your house you will be very happy! This is the second time they have stayed and our nervous dachshund loves them more than ever. Thank you for allowing us a worry free holiday!
Marianne
Shildon, United Kingdom
Cat/bird/rabbit lover
Marianne has kindly sat for us & iggy a number of times which says it all. She’s super flexible & easy going. Iggy has a better brushed coat when we come back than when we went away! Would definitely recommend Marianne.
Helen
Shildon, United Kingdom
World traveller, pet lover: where 2 worlds can collide
I'd really recommend Helen, she was organised, friendly and caring. She left the house really tidy and even washed the sheets and made us some soup! She was kind enough to go and pick up a missed delivery from the local post office for us, which was so helpful.
Reviews from Pet Owners
Heather
Amanda was the perfect housesitter and pet sitter for our cat. She is organized and communicative, and took care to ensure she understood the guidelines for taking care of our home and our cat. She left our house in perfect condition and we returned home to one happy kitty! Would not hesitate to have Amanda housesit for us again or recommend her to others looking for a sitter.
Jan
Abi and David were FABULOUS pet sitters during our 5-day trip. They were devoted and fun dog walkers, park-goers and ball throwers. They communicated well and sent pictures. And when we got home, the house looked great, and the dogs looked calm. We would gladly have them. Sit for us again and highly recommend them.
Kim
We were lucky to have Andrea back for another sit with our elderly dog and feral cat. She has been wonderful both in the past and on this last sit for a month! We trust her implicitly and are always at ease that our pets will have the most kind and careful attention. She is excellent with videos and communication and very clean and tidy. Again we feel lucky to have found her, and feel she would be a great sitter for any pets!
Jenna
Felecia was an excellent sitter and perfect companion for Livi, our 3 yr old Aussie mix! She was always prompt with communication when needed, took great care of our pet and house and was just as clean coming home as we left it. I would not hesitate to recommend Felecia for other sits.
Nancy
Not only did our pets enjoy meeting Kelly and Christopher, my husband and I enjoyed meeting them as well! They are personable and kind, organized and communicative, and most of all excellent pet sitters.
Kelly and Chris are attentive housesitters. They went out of their way to connect with our dogs, especially Smitty, our rescue. The dogs were walked, brushed, and played with throughout the weeklong sit. They sent pics of how our fur babies were doing and truly seemed to enjoy their time with them. The peace of mind that comes with great house sitters who care for your precious pups and the home you love is priceless. Thank you once again, Kelly and Christopher! We hope to see you again!
Michelle
Elaine was the best dog and cat sitter I have ever had! She was so loving to the boys, kind, reliable, capable and took fabulous care of my two dogs and cat welfare. Walked them every day and would even sing to them (-: I am so very grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting Elaine and I would recommend Elaine to anyone wanting first class care of pets and home!!! We all miss having her around and wish her a fabulous world trip and safe journey back to the States.
Megan
I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
Jessica
Megan and her partner were INCREDIBLE pet & house sitters during my 5 days away last month. I received consistent communication in the form of updates & photos and I had the true sense that Megan was invested in the wellbeing of my animals and truly enjoyed being with them! My house was CLEANER than I left it (immaculate!) and she left a sweet card thanking us upon our return. Truly the best sitting experience I've had thus far, thank YOU so much!
Jeanette
I have had 4 pet sitters this year so far. And Liz was the best! She was wonderful with cats. She has an easy going manner and is very comfortable to be around. Very smart and she is a great communicator. She followed all directions and left the house spotless. I highly, highly, highly recommend her! I would have her again anytime!
Melissa
For our first experience with a house sitter, Jim and Julie have set the bar high. We felt totally confident that any issues would be dealt with, fortunately there were none. They were outstanding house and pet sitters whom we would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. They took exceptional care of our house full of pets from 2 large dogs, 3 cats, snake, gecko, fish tank and a koi pond. They provided updates daily, were very easy to communicate with and the house was just as clean as when we left it, with the addition of a nice welcome home gift. We knew our pets were in good hands. Thank you for everything. Melissa and Kyle

I can't thank Diane enough for taking my daughters dog out for 2 daily walks a day while she was away, due to my mobility issues I can't manage with a proper dog walk and nothing was too much trouble for her. Bella absolutely loved her and came back each time so happy. Will definitely use again if needed. She even came to meet Bella the day before and ask about any likes/dislikes/concerning Bella. Definitely recommend and can't thank her enough.
Diana "Scranimals" (Licensed Dog Services) was highly recommended to us by Durham County Council as well as K9 Pursuits Dog Day Care and Training Centre. Diana takes GREAT care of our 3 dogs with much love, care and outdoor exercise. Her services are super affordable. Our dogs are medium to large with the largest being a senior dog. They love Diana and look forward to her visits. Diana always keeps us in the loop with how all of our pups behaved during her visits via written notes and/or text messages. We trust her professional assistance and thoroughly endorse her services.
Our two dogs have just come back from an overnight stay with Scranimals as our usual boarding was fully booked. We were a little nervous taking them somewhere new but wouldn't hesitate in taking them back there again. Diana was so warm and friendly and the homely environment had them settled in no time. Diana really takes on board the little personalities of each of the dogs and treats them as her own. Great value for money too! Thank you!!
The most knowledgeable lady I know on so many breeds of animal and simply loves animals too. Lovely lady who will treat your pets like her own. Prices are great value too. Thank you for having our rabbits and pup, they loved their time with you
My dog's love Scranimals for walks and sleepovers. Diana is like the dog whisperer she just has a nack with them. She's very good with my naughty Patterdale terrier.T, Tiny listening to Diana more than me. I wouldn't let my dogs stay anywhere else.
I use Diana’s service a lot for my pup and she loves it , coming home tired and happy. Great service. Diana is warm and friendly.
Much better prices than anywhere else and animals so well taken care of. Such a lovely woman and is so reliable. Extremely professional and would definitely recommend!!!
My dog came home happy and tired from playing all day.
Bit expensive
Brilliant 👍 …

Our Sprocker, Skye, is a very anxious but loving soul and thrives on routine. She has had separation issues since we rescued her at 8months old. Leaving her with others has been a big decision in the past. However, after an overnight stay at Skyecroft last year, we didn't hesitate to book her in for 10days, this year. We collected a happy, contented and yes, excited girl on our return. Photographs have shown Skye bonding and blending in with her band of black- coated buddies! Also, receiving some favoured, individual attention. Thanks to Wendy's prompt, efficient handling of the booking and the care of the whole team, Skye will be making return visits, without any hesitation.🐾
We went away for 12 days. It was our first time leaving our puppy for more than a day since we brought him home. Skyecroft shares photos on their Facebook almost every day of the dogs on their playdates. I really enjoyed being able to see these while we were gone as it gave me reassurance that he was having a nice time while we were away. He looked like he had been really well taken care of upon picking him up and seemed very happy! We will certainly be using Skyecroft again. I also look forward to using their groomer next time he visits as she was away while we were there but seems to do an excellent job
Ted & Lucy recently spent 6 nights at Skyecroft. We were naturally apprehensive as this was the first time we had left them so long. However, when we went to pick them up, both of them were very relaxed and happy and had obviously enjoyed their stay. They were also in immaculate condition. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the dogs seemed to have taken to them judging by the photos on the website. Highly recommended!
Was a bit wary when we took Monty here for the first time but the staff are very friendly and put me at ease.and Monty was ok to go with them. He has been back a couple of times since and greets them with a tail that's wagging nonstop and seems very happy to see them. They also have a grooming parlour and at the end of your dogs stay you can get them groomed if you want for an extra fee.We had this with Monty and he looked and smelt lovely. They show you around the kennels and where the dogs go walks etc. I Never had any problems and recommend them to all my friends.
Our boys always enjoy there stay here. The come home dry, clean and healthy. When we drop them off the dogs are so excited to be there.
Our boxer dog loves going to Skyecroft and they take very good care of him. They have been so helpful when we had a family bereavement - this situation would have been so much more difficult without them. He also loved his play date with his new friend. It really is lovely to see him pull to go in, so I know he will have an enjoyable day.
Wendy and the staff have just cared for my puppy Millie. A huge thanks for helping her as she is a nervous and quiet dog, hopefully during her next stay she will be more confident. Well done Skycroft.
We had a free dog trial day for Wilson and then had a 7 night stay for Wilson and our cat Doug. The trial day went amazing considering Wilson is quite a hyper young dog, we were over the moon that there was nothing but good things to be said about him which put me at ease for his long stay. When I called to check on them while we were away, I was made to feel comfortable straight away knowing both animals were perfectly safe and happy. The staff at skyecroft have been brilliant with us, including me adding on an extra night very last minute for the stay. We are always welcomed with a smile and they always go into detail about the animals without hesitation even at busier times. I couldn't recommend a place more and the size of the cattery is brilliant as our cat is both indoor/outdoor and he wasn't a bother. We have booked a further 2 weeks this year for the animals as they came back so well behaved and we feel comfortable enough to go away knowing they're getting the best possible care they can! Thankyou everyone at Skyecroft! X
This was my 3 year old Gsd's first stay in a kennels and I was a bit anxious as he can get stressed. But Wendy and the team were so reassuring and complimentary about his behaviour. They clearly have a great rapport with all their 'guests' and i am very happy to used Skyecroft as our go-to Kennels & cattery. Five stars!!!
They are really friendly staff how seem to care about the dogs floki loved it. It didn't change him one bit brilliant
