Our Carers

All our carers love dogs and are experienced dog owners who provide the best care for your pet while you’re away. Each carer is personally interviewed by PetStay to ensure they offer a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment for your dog. We are fully licensed, and our carers are covered by our public liability insurance for your peace of mind.

Some of our carers may have a dog of their own. If your pooch is happy to stay with another friendly dog, we’ll arrange a meet-up so they can get acquainted and see if they’re a good match.

3 dogs £54.00 a day

Prices above are per day, or part thereof, except Bank Holidays. For more information regarding those rates, please contact us.

PetStay Arrangement Fee & Carer’s Allowance

Our daily rate is made up of two separate payments: the Arrangement Fee and the Carer’s Allowance. Together, these payments cover the full cost of your dog’s stay, ensuring they receive loving care in a safe and happy home.

Prices listed are per day (or part thereof), except for Bank Holidays, when the Carer’s Allowance is doubled — because we believe our wonderful carers deserve extra for their dedication during these special times!

Arrangement Fee

The Arrangement Fee secures your dog’s booking and is due within five days of meeting your chosen carer. For repeat bookings, this fee must be paid within five days of your requested dates being confirmed by PetStay.

This fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, as it covers the service provided by your local PetStay branch in carefully matching your dog with a suitable carer. It also contributes to essential operational costs, including:

Carer’s Allowance

The Carer’s Allowance is a separate payment, made directly to your chosen carer when you drop your dog off for their holiday. On Bank Holidays, this allowance is doubled, reflecting the extra commitment and care our carers provide during these times.

Together, the Arrangement Fee and the Carer’s Allowance make up the full daily rate for your dog’s stay.

For more details on Bank Holiday rates or any other inquiries, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions about becoming a PetStay 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.

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.

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.

Billy

March 2025

I would like to say how wonderful John and Frances are and how well they’ve looked after Billy this last two weeks. Leaving him is always so so hard, but the fact they have clearly cared for him so well has just made it that much easier. Thank you to them and to you for finding them for us!!

Thanks

Zoe

Bertie

December 2024

Shean takes such good care of our labradoodle Bertie. Long walks, plenty of play and stimulation, lots of affection. Bertie also needs clear boundaries and down time and Shean provides this too. If you’re lucky enough to get a booking with Shean, she gets very booked up, grab it and go on holiday knowing your dog is having a lovely time till you return.

Archie

December 2024
Denise our carer looked after our dog Archie as if he were her own. He settled in really well and enjoyed his holiday as much as we enjoyed ours. We have already booked him in with Denise for our next holiday. She is clearly a dog lover. The booking process was really easy too and we would recommend PetStay to everyone. Patricia

Billy

December 2024

Alison and Ian took great care of Billy and sent updates. It seemed like he had a lovely time and enjoyed his holiday! We feel confident to send him to stay with them in the future and know he will be well cared for by people who love dogs.

Emma

Ernie

December 2024

John and Francis looked after Ernie at Christmas and as he had stayed with them before we knew he was going to be well cared for and would be like a home from home for him. Photos and videos were sent which we loved. Thanks John and Francis and also thankyou to Katie.

Michelle

Poppy

December 2024

Yet again, a wonderful experience from start to finish. PetStay admin & communication are excellent. Our dog Poppy stayed with Caroline & Ian again and they are lovely kind, caring people who understand our Parsons Terrier! Thank you

Peter

Nigel

October 2024

It is the first time we have used PetStay and have been very impressed with the efficiency of this company. We were anxious leaving our Cavapoo for the first time, we didn’t need to worry she was looked after impeccably by John & Francis in Wetherby. We received daily photographs of her daily outings and was clearly enjoying herself. It was wonderful enjoying our holiday with total peace of mind. very many thanks to all.

Sean

October 2024

We have used PetStay for years now and when in between owning our own dogs for a couple of years we were carers for them ourselves for a while. I don’t honestly think I would ever be happy leaving our dogs with anyone else, PetStay take great care in matching both you and your dogs with the carers and you even get the opportunity to meet the carers in their own home with your dogs, prior to committing to a first booking. We recently moved to Scarborough from the Leeds area, but we do love one carer in particular, Val who is in Leeds! so much so, that whenever possible we will try and book Val first. Even before going to our local PetStay service! Albeit our new local carers are equally excellent, it’s just that our dogs have established such a good rapport with Val that they even look sad to have to go home with us again! Typical spoiled grandkids routine! Which we again love! and which gives us such reassurance that they are well cared for whilst we are away.

Sean

Henry

October 2024

This was Henry our golden retriever’s first stay away from home. We were very anxious but Alison and Ian put our minds at rest and updated us as to how Henry was later that day. He took everything in his stride thanks to the welcome he received and how well he was looked after. Organising this stay and his next visit was straightforward – knowing Alison and Ian loved having Henry to stay, he will no doubt have a great time later this year.

Andrew

Ruby

October 2024

John & Frances looked after Ruby impeccably we were a little worried as it the first time we have ever left her. We had no need to worry! Ruby had a wonderful time staying with John & Frances who are are credit to PetStay, we would have no hesitation in using them again. Communication was fantastic we received a what’s app photo every day, please pass on my comments to the pair of them.

Nigel

Bella

October 2024
We have used PetStay for our dog Bella for the past eight years and have two or three regular carers that she stays with. We have found it very reassuring going away on holiday knowing she is so well looked after in a home from home environment. We can highly recommend the service. Fiona

Peggy & Norman

October 2024

Can I just take this opportunity to let you know what a great job Suzanne did of minding our dogs for us again last week. You already know from previous feedback how at ease we feel leaving Peggy and Norman with her and they are clearly very settled when staying with her which is really lovely to see.

Michelle

Lottie

October 2024
Lottie has clearly had a lovely time with Denise and was well and happy when we picked her up. Denise had clearly enjoyed having her too. She is only just a year old so staying away from us is still fairly new to her and she adapted well . I’m sure we will use PetStay and Denise again when we book our next holiday. Thanks Margaret & Alastair

Ruby

September 2024
Ruby had a lovely week’s stay with Tracey and Brian. She was treated just like she was their own and had some lovely long walks. She was really settled and we were kept up to date with everything she was doing. We would highly recommend and will definitely take her again. Theaker

Ollie & Stan

September 2024

Just picked the boys up 😍 wanted to say a huge thank you for organising their stay. What a lovely couple Kris & Alan are. I felt very reassured leaving them in their care 😊
Happy Customer

Matthew

September 2024
Tracy and Brian who looked after our dogs went above and beyond for us while we were away. They sent daily photos and made sure they ate properly and got lots of walks in again. I would definitely recommend them again.

Mrs Gray

September 2024
Leading up to leaving my dog everything was done professionally and I was really comfortable leaving her with Siobhan and she cared for my dog really well.

Lynne

September 2024

This was the first time we have ever left our spaniels with anyone other than family but Joyce and Tony were the perfect carers. We received a picture and update every day, both looked so happy and clearly Joyce and Tony had given them long walks and plenty of cuddles. Thank you PetStay

Teddy

September 2024
This is the second time we’ve used PetStay and both times have been great We went away for a weekend and left our Cockapoo, Teddy with a lovely lady called Ann. She said he was a joy to have and it put our mind at ease when she sent pics of him chilling at her house. Can’t recommend PetStay enough and will always use them in the future.

Peggy & Norman

September 2024
We have recently returned from a week away during which time our dogs Peggy & Norman were cared for by Suzanne. We are a typical childless couple whose entire focus is on our dogs and we therefore worry endlessly about leaving them – or at least we did until we met Suzanne. Peggy & Norman settle in more or less immediately with seemingly no pining or loss of appetite and the regular updates, photos and videos are so welcome and reassuring. At times it looks as though they are having a better holiday than us! The regular communication puts our minds at ease and takes away the stress of leaving them, so much so that they are returning to Suzanne for another stay this month! We can’t thank her enough and are so grateful to have found her and PetStay. Michelle & Simon

Milo and Mabel

August 2024

Excellent experience from start to finish Milo had surgery a few months earlier so he had a long list of ‘can’t do’ & Mabel is only a puppy so it was her fist time away from home so I was a bit concerned about leaving them but I had no need to worry They were very well cared for and all their needs were met and more & were very happy relaxed pups when they came home, would recommend PetStay and will definitely use again
