My name is Ian, and I am the owner of the Hull and East Riding Branch of PetStay.
I live in Beverley with my wife Nikki and our beautiful dog, Bella. We are both dog lovers and are passionate about making sure our four-legged friends are as happy as we are when going on holiday. It is important to have peace of mind knowing your dog is in safe hands, and I will do my very best to find you the perfect carer that will ensure this happens.
At PetStay, we understand that leaving your beloved dog while you’re on holiday is a big decision. That’s why we offer a trusted, home-based alternative to kennels, ensuring your dog enjoys a comfortable stay in a loving environment. With one-on-one care and no mixing of dogs from different households, we provide a stress-free experience tailored to your dog’s needs.
Personalised, Home-from-Home Care – Your dog stays in a cozy, caring home, just like their own.
Solo Boarding Only – We never mix dogs from different families, ensuring a calm and relaxed stay.
Tailored Matching Process – We carefully select the perfect carer for your dog’s personality and routine.
Meet & Greet Before Booking – You and your dog get to visit the carer’s home beforehand to ensure a great fit.
Fully Insured & Licensed – Your peace of mind is our priority, with full insurance and licensing in place.
Ongoing Support – Our team is here to help, offering 24/7 support for both owners and carers.
With PetStay, you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and being cared for like family.
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.
1. Get in Touch – Call or email your local PetStay branch to discuss your dog’s needs and your preferred dates.
2. Learn About PetStay – We’ll explain how PetStay works and guide you through the next steps.
3. Matching Your Dog – We’ll take all the details about your dog and match them with the most suitable carer available.
4. Meet the Carer – We’ll arrange a meeting for you and your dog to meet the carer and ensure a good fit.
5. Ready to Book – If you’re 100% happy with your carer, you’re all set to proceed with your booking.
6. Confirm Your Booking – Complete our online booking form and pay the arrangement fee within 5 days to confirm your booking.
7. Confirmation – You’ll receive an email confirming your booking details.
8. Stress-Free Booking – You’re all set! No worries, just anticipation for your time away.
9. Drop-Off Time – On your dog’s drop-off day, bring their food, bed, toys, and any other essentials to their carer’s home. At this point, you’ll pay the carer’s allowance directly to the carer.
10. Enjoy Your Holiday – Head off on your trip with complete peace of mind knowing your dog is in great hands.

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.

"*" indicates required fields
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.
This is the second time that we have used PetStay and Alison for our Cavalier King Charles, Birdie. Alison is such a wonderful dog carer we wonder who enjoyed our holiday the most, us or Birdie. Nothing is too much trouble for Alison and we get regular updates and photos of Birdie while we’re away so we know we can enjoy our holiday without any concerns. We can highly recommend PetStay and Alison.
William
Archie stayed with Christine and Derek for the second time and I wouldn’t hesitate to take him there again there both lovely people. Christine kept me updated with how Archie was doing with messages and photos. Archie was very chilled when we brought him home which put our minds at rest that he had a good time there.
Toni
Our 9 year old Border Terrier recently stayed with Jill at PetStay. I was worried as she hadn’t stayed with anyone other than us before. I need not worry. Ian was very organised and informative arranging her stay and Jill was amazing. Our dog settled so well when we took her for a visit and when we dropped her off to stay. We had regular updates and I loved that when we picked her up she went over to Jill before we got in the car for a thank you and bye cuddle/pat which showed she enjoyed her time.
Love using PetStay. Tommy & Bailey stayed with Ann & George, in Hull. They both get well and truly spoilt, especially when they have their granddaughters staying with them. I would highly recommend using PetStay. I’ve got 4 holidays booked already for next year, knowing T & B will be well looked after.
We used PetStay for the first time in October because we didn’t want our rescue dog Birdie going into kennels when we were on holiday and have already booked her in again with Alison for our next holiday. Alison from Hull is lovely and obviously very passionate and caring about looking after dogs in her care. She kept us informed with photos and updates whilst we were away which meant we could relax and enjoy our holiday without any worries and Birdie really enjoyed her stay. We would highly recommend PetStay.
I knew I could enjoy my holiday this time having left Dexter with Alison I knew he would be well looked after, she also sent photos of him on his walks, and he was well looked after. I would definitely use her again thanks Alison.
Angie was the perfect host for Flynn and her hospitality removed any guilt I felt leaving him for 10 days. In fact I think he had a more relaxing holiday than I did! Thanks Angie
Vinnie loved his stayed at Allison’s whilst we went on holiday! Lovely updates, with photos too.
This is the second time we have used PetStay and we will definitely be using PetStay again.
A big thank you to PetStay! Our 2 boys stayed with Mary & Pete for 3 weeks while we went away on holiday and I can honestly say they were in the best of hands. I’d given Mary a list as long as her arm with do’s and don’ts as they are pampered pooches and she stuck to it bless her. Mary had also given them their flea and worming tablets which were due whilst we were away. We came home to 2 very happy boys and will definitely be using them again. Many thanks.
Excellent service . We go on holiday knowing our whippet Rosie is being looked after properly and with care . We have complete peace of mind while away . We know for certain this is the case when Rosie gets out of the car and drags me to the front door to see her carers
We decided to use PetStay as our dog Ruby isn’t keen on kennels. We asked Ian if he had anyone suitable for our Labrador and he recommended Sandra. Ruby loved her stay with her 2 dogs had some lovely walks, played in her garden and cuddles with the family.
What a fabulous 2 weeks my Cockapoo Arthur had with Angie, she is so welcoming into her home and caters for every need. I regularly received photos during his stay and updates putting my mind at rest and enabling me to enjoy my holiday knowing he was being cared for 100%. I would highly recommend her, in fact I’m already booked in with her again for October knowing she was so good.
Hayden had a fantastic time with Gary & Carol, we had regular updates while away which we really appreciated as we where very nervous about leaving him for his first time, would definitely recommend and use again.
PetStay were great at making sure we found the right carer for our dog. Sallie was excellent, she kept us up to date and sent pictures daily which helped as it was the first time we had left our dog with anyone other than family. Definitely recommend.
A fantastic service. Everything was clear and well explained. Jackie and her partner were superb and I could tell Bonnie had enjoyed her 3 days with them. Would highly recommend and will use again.
