Hello, we are Sue and Simon Jennings the proud New owners of the West Midlands South Branch of PetStay. We live in Sutton Coldfield with 2 children and our Cavapoo Ruby. We used to have 2 rescue Greyhounds Charlie and Noah who were a big part of our family, when they passed we wanted to help other dogs and their owners.
PetStay was the perfect opportunity as we understand the effort and love owners put into the training and care of their dogs, from personal experience we know that owners do not want to leave their furry family members in a kennel. This is why 2 years ago we set up the PetStay West Midlands North and South Staffordshire Branch – to offer bespoke home boarding for family dogs. It’s been such a success we have now taken on the West Midlands South Branch.
At PetStay we understand how difficult it is to leave this very important family member whilst you are away on holiday or for any length of time. We have a small select register of fellow dog lovers that are happy and trustworthy to care for your dogs in their own home in an environment that your dog would be happy to be in.
Why Choose PetStay West Midlands South Branch.
PetStay West Midlands South Branch covers Moseley, Kings Heath, Edgbaston, Harborne, Hall Green, Selly Oak, Selly Park, Bournville, Kings Norton, Cotteridge, Stirchley, Rednal, Rubery, Cofton Hackett, Barnt Green, Lickey, Wythall, Hollywood, Alvechurch, Hopwood, Portway, Alcester, Bidford-on-Avon, Bromsgrove, Studley Shirley, Solihull, Dickens Heath, Cheswick Green, Olton, Bickenhill, Hampton in Arden, Knowle, Hockley Heath, Earlswood, Henley-in-Arden Redditch, Feckenham, Beoley, Webheath From B13 to B98 post codes and offers an “Exclusive home from home service” whether you’re planning a trip for business, a weekend break or a fortnight get-away. The benefits of home boarding are being able to tailor make your dog’s “holiday” with PetStay. This means, we are able to follow the routines you already have in place at your own home, be that sleeping, feeding, exercise or companionship. Staying in a home environment means your dog will get lots of love and attention from a carer who will treat your dog as their own and that’s important, to you and to them!
Your dog will be matched with a carer who you will meet prior to your holiday to ensure you are happy and you have made the right choice for your dog. You can go on Holiday knowing that your dog will be getting the love and affection you would give them yourself in a safe environment.
My Host Families.
We have handpicked our host families ensuring we only employ the very best we only take on carers that we would be happy to leave our own dog Ruby with and Ruby is always taken along to meet the new carers. All carers are experienced dog owners and most importantly – love dogs! You can choose to either board your dog(s) alone or if your dog enjoys doggie company, with a carer who has a friendly dog of their own. A “sniffing out” meeting will be set up so you and your dog(s) can meet their carer and see their holiday home beforehand. Safety is very important to us, so we never mix dogs from different families and we keep all dogs on leashes whilst walking in public places. Finally, all hosts are fully insured and regularly inspected by myself to make sure they meet the stringent criteria required for the license by the local authority.
How it Works
We take great care in getting to know you and your dog before they home board with PetStay and take full details of your dog so that we can find the perfect carer for him or her. We will guide you through the booking process and a “holiday list” will be provided of essential items that will need to be packed to make sure your dog(s) have their favourite things with them. So, if you would like to book a holiday with us or find out more about our service, please do get in touch on the numbers or email below. We look forward to hearing from you and providing the very best home boarding that West Midlands South Branch have to offer.
Become a Carer
If you would like to apply to become a carer, we would love to hear from you. All that is necessary is that you have experience in looking after dogs, are at home during the day and have a secure garden. You could become part of the PetStay Team by caring for someone else’s family dog in your home.

Are you worried about leaving your dog in kennels? Have you ever considered a dog sitting or home boarding service in Birmingham?
At PetStay West Midlands South we’ve carefully selected many caring and affectionate people who will care for your dog while you’re away on holiday. We are licensed and insured to care for your pet while you are away. Our dog sitters in the Birmingham, Solihull and Moseley areas who are all vetted by us and insured provide a far better experience for your dogs than kennels because we provide a home from home environment, a real alternative to kennels.

Frequently Asked Questions about becoming a PetStay Carer
What are the requirements of becoming a carer?
You must be a genuine dog lover, have experience of looking after dogs and you need to be home during the day so you have plenty of time to give to the dogs you are caring for. You must have a secure garden and agree to abide by PetStay guidelines. You are allowed to have a dog of your own as long as your dog gets on with other dogs.
How are your carers vetted?
If you meet all the requirements listed above, we will come and visit you at your home. We will check the security of the garden, explain PetStay procedures and show you the guidelines each carer needs to follow. If you are happy with everything and we feel you would make a suitable PetStay carer, we would follow up a reference and arrange public liability insurance for you.
How many dogs can I look after?
Our service is on a one-to-one basis, so only dogs from the same household will stay with you. You are allowed to take up to three dogs from the same household, BUT you choose what you are happy with. We will ask you how many dogs you would like to look after and what sized dog/s you would be happy to care for.
Do I have to provide the food?
No, the owner will bring any food or treats for the duration of the stay. Any toys, bedding, medication and leads will also be brought.
Does the dog/s have to be vaccinated?
Yes each dog MUST have up to date vaccinations, have been wormed and treated for fleas. Proof of the vaccinations will be brought to the meeting and shown to you.
What about walking the dogs?
All dogs should be taken out each day for walks. When you have your meeting with the owners all routines, including the number and length of walks, will be discussed. The dog is only ever walked on a lead.
What if the dog becomes ill?
We/you would endeavour to contact the owner or the emergency contact. The owner or the emergency contact would be liable for any expenses incurred in taking the dog to the vet.
Will I be paid?
You will receive a daily allowance of £17 for one dog, £26 for two dogs and £35 for three dogs.
What happens next?
If you are interested in becoming a carer, please ring us for an informal chat and ask any questions or email us with your details and we will come back to you. You can also use the contact form on the ‘contact us’ tab. If we feel you are suitable we would then arrange to visit you at home.

I was worried about leaving Meeka as he has only been away from family members once in 12 years. I didn’t need to have been, Sharon and her family treated him as one of the family allowing in into their home including on the bed😀 lovely walks with their lovely dogs. Thank you.

Our 2 year old Shihpoo Monty had a great 12 day holiday with Janet. It was the first time we had left him and receiving photos of him out and about as well as relaxing on his back with legs in the air let us know that he was safe and well cared for. Would definitely use the service again. Many thanks Simon, Sue and Janet.

Our 8 month black lab had his first stay with a PetStay carer in South Birmingham last weekend. We were delighted with the service from the initial really helpful contact, through meeting a prospective carer and finally our dog’s obviously very happy experience while we were away. It really was a home from home for him and we would highly recommend PetStay.

Alfie
We recently booked a week’s stay with a lovely lady called Hayley through PetStay’s Sue and Simon. Our puppy is very sociable but does have some health issues. Cannot praise Hayley enough – our Alfie had the best time, bonded well with Hayley’s little pooch and, just as importantly, received the best of care, had lots of play and walks and an abundance of cuddles! Thank you so much Hayley.

I would like to thank you for putting us in touch with Ninette, Gabby absolutely loved her stay and we loved all the photos and videos
We were so anxious to leave Gabby due to past times we have had to put her in kennels but Kevin and Ninette were amazing.

I was nervous about leaving George with anyone else as we’ve never been apart. Donna absolutely put my mind at ease and she took the most wonderful care of George, he was made one of the family. I felt extremely at ease leaving him with Donna, she was extremely kind and loving towards him and he seemed to enjoy his stay with Donna, who kept me updated with messages and photos and videos every day. I will definitely use Donna again.

Our dog Zelda had a fantastic time with her carer Hayley. PetStay helped us find the carer who was the nearest to our home. We booked the dates in advance and we were informed about the rules to follow (payment, COVID-19, etc…). Hayley sent us a picture every day that showed Zelda was having fun and was walked on a lead outside. It is such a relief to know she had a great time without us. Thank you PetStay! I could not have let my dog in a kennel…!

Catherine cared for Sam our golden retriever whilst we were on holiday for 2 weeks. He was relaxed and happy when we picked him up and was not too keen on coming home with us. Everything was well organised by PetStay Midlands South and Catherine was so caring that we were confident he would be looked after well. Thank you

Porto
“Porto was extremely happy and calm when we picked him up, after his stay with Gill. And he settled straight back in at home afterwards. I’m delighted about this, because this hasn’t always been then case…. He doesn’t take to everyone and can take a while to settle him back in at home, so I would therefore highly recommend Gill”

Oscar
“Brilliant! Keith and Lin are just amazing, and what a fab alternative to kennels. Oscar went to meet them several weeks ago, before I confirmed our booking. He was so well looked after, with outings to the park and local events, and his holiday was filled with activities, so much like we usually do together. Keith and Lin just couldn’t do enough for Oscar, and he came home a very happy doggy, having been spoilt rotten for a week. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be using them again in the future.”

“My two dogs home boarded recently with Tracy through PetStay West Midlands South in her family home. It was so reassuring to know they get one to one care with PetStay, as no other dogs are boarded at the same time. They were really well looked after and seemed very happy and content when collected. I loved receiving text updates and pics too so a big thank you to Tracy and to PetStay for a fab service!”

Herbie
“I just wanted to say a huge thankyou to yourself and Lin for making sure Herbie was settled and happy throughout his time with Tracy and Rosemary.
Knowing that he was being cared for and loved in exactly the same way as he is at home enabled us all to have a worry free holiday. He looked so well and happy when I collected him from Rosemary on Sunday.”

Rosemary looked after our border collie, Rune for a few days break in September. Rosemary clearly loved dogs and I felt confident leaving Rune in her care.

Olly
I would like to thank you both for being such amazing carers to Olly for 2 weeks in September, you gave him all the love and affection he wanted and gave him his walks. He is a very boisterous boy but that didn’t bother you at all. It was a help meeting you before so he could see where he was going and also ourselves, and get the information needed for his stay with you. You kept in touch with us while we were on our holidays, it was nice knowing he was in good hands.
He was a very happy boy when we came to collect him. I would definitely recommend them to look after your pet.

Sheru
My 3 yr old GSD Sheru has come home after spending 3 days with the lovely Keith and Lin…and he is such a happy relaxed boy!! He has previously stayed in kennels but he was not happy at all…
Our initial meeting was great. Everything was explained and they met Sheru and he had a chance to wander around their home. They answered all our questions and asked questions about Sheru; his routine, games and treats he likes..
They sent us pictures of what he was doing…and he looked comfortable and relaxed.
We can’t thank them enough!! We enjoyed our break away knowing our fur baby was is safe hands!!
We would highly recommend them and Petstay!!! I will be telling all family, friends and colleagues about Keith and Lin!!!
And I hope that Sheru will stay with them again!.. because we won’t trust anyone else with him!!!
You guys are wonderful!!!
Thank you both!! !!!
Love from Geeta, Raj and Sheru, August 2017

Just a quick thank you for organising Maisie & Mist’s care over Christmas and New Year. They have been very sleepy since coming home but are both eating well so I think they are settling back into their normal routine.

George
“We had a new dog sitter for our 7 year-old retired greyhound George in November 2016 called Sue. She was amazing with George. She walked him every day, treated him, cared for him exceptionally well for two weeks and I have no doubt we will be asking her to care for our boy again soon. PetStay West Midlands South offers an excellent alternative to kennels that aims to keep your pet in a good routine and a loving home environment. Thanks Sue and PetStay.”
Alison, January 2016
Windsor
“I used PetStay for the first time and was really impressed and appreciative of the prompt reply and service Liz provided. The lady who looked after Windsor was lovely and clearly loved dogs and made us reassured that Windsor was going to well looked after. Windsor came home with 2 stuffed toys and happy memories!”
