We’re proud to offer our trusted PetStay service in your city, providing local, personalised dog care that ensures your pet feels right at home. With a dedicated PetStay branch in your area, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your dog will receive the best care from experienced, fully vetted carers who are part of your local community.
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!
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:
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.

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. 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.
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.
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.

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
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.

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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
