We do all the hard work! Don’t worry about bookings as we will take care of them. We think it’s important for you to concentrate on all the fun of caring for a guest dog.

Please call Alistair for more information and an informal chat

I WILL NEVER USE KENNELS AGAIN!!!!! I totally recommend this company, the lady who looked after our Jack Russell was amazing she took onboard all of our comments on the way we care for our dog and she did the same with her while we were away also sending us pics and updates on her stay. I was so so worried for our dog as she’s a mummies girl and totally loved and spoiled hence kennels is out of the question but this lady mirrored the way we cared for her and she settled in quickly. I know the owner Alistair is very particular on who he employees I definitely feel I made the right decision and will never go elsewhere I would definitely recommend this company 100%

Having had concerns about leaving Hugo in a new environment due to the last year being with us 24/7 I didn’t know how he’d cope. Really pleased to say he had a great time with his temporary family and their dog. Pictures were sent to me along with updates so we were kept in the loop at all times. Very happy and would recommend PetStay and Alistair who runs it, very helpful and accommodating.

Our two collie/cocker cross dogs have stayed with Kay at PetStay twice now, and she is a treasure! They were very happy to be there, she treats them like her own. We have complete confidence and trust in her, and can leave them with absolute peace of mind, knowing they’ll have a good time too! She is very conscientious, does her job to a very high standard and is a ‘more than’ pet sitter. Highly recommended. Alistair was very careful to match our lively dogs to the right sitter for them. THANK YOU PetStay

Our Archie had a brilliant time staying with Sue. She was the perfect person to look after him while we were away, handpicked for Archie by Alistair. We were a bit worried about leaving him at first as we’ve never left him before but Archie was right at home with Sue from the moment we got to her front door. Sue sent us photos and messages while we were away so we were reassured Archie was fine. We’ll be very happy to use PetStay again.

“Hi Alistair,

Just to give you some feedback and thank you for arranging our pet stay.

Bella was very happy with Sherilyn and her family. She had been very well looked after and it was obvious that Sherilyn is a very experienced dog handler and really loves dogs.

I will definitely use PetStay again and we will be very happy for Bella to stay with Sherilyn in June.

Thanks for your help

Best Regards

Linda”

I was so worried about leaving our 5 month old chihuahua that I nearly cancelled our holiday! I was told about PetStay by our dog trainer and I could not speak more highly of the owner or the couple who cared for our dog. The owner, Alistair, goes above and beyond what you would expect. He matched our dog with the perfect people. He kept in regular contact and nothing was too much trouble. He vets the people who he has on his books and they are all experienced dog owners. We wanted a dog and child free home and were thrilled with the people whom he paired us with. He’s quite a high maintenance little dog and nothing was too much trouble for them. He came home looking so well cared for and relaxed. I wanted updates while we were away and I had texts and emails from both Alistair and our dog sitters. I will certainly use PetStay again for both our dogs and would highly recommend them to all my friends. A million times nicer than kennels and very good value. Thank you Alistair.

From the moment I connected with Alistair, he filled me with confidence that not only would he be able to find me a suitable sitter with very short notice, this sitter would be experienced to deal with a very nervous dog with fear of strangers and a attitude towards other dogs. Kay was perfect and my dog had an absolutely fantastic time, I almost had to drag him home. I will certainly use again

Bex and her family our brilliant to say the least with our 2 dogs. Our dogs are very friendly but are still a handful! After a traumatic time in kennels, we decided never to choose that option again so found PetStay. We have no worries or concerns about them when they are away from us and always come back happy and healthy.

Beau had a wonderful time again with Elaine. This helps us knowing Beau is having a good as holiday as us. Can’t rate her service any higher. Wonderful lady.

Thank you for taking such great care of our dog, Piggie. she obviously had a great time. We can really enjoy a break if we know she is being well looked after. We will certainly use you again

I was very impressed with the care Roxie experienced with her carers. She was really happy and settled. Would highly recommend this service and will be definitely using pet stay again

Michelle-Yeovil

After a recent stressful stay in kennels, we were really worried about what to do with our dog Poppy when we went on holiday. PetStay came to the rescue and she had a wonderful stay with Greg and Sue – I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the service that we received and can’t thank everyone enough. To know we can go away and not have to worry makes life so much easier!

I have been using Petstay since moving to Somerset last year. The bookings are always very efficient and it has been lovely to meet the people looking after my dogs in their own home. My dogs absolutely love going to the carers and its so reassuring to me to know they are having lovely walks and not in kennels. I took them to a kennels set-up once only, because they were so stressed by all the barking dogs around them for 2 weeks. One of them developed grey hairs during that time! Petstay provides home from home care with lovely kind people who adore dogs. I highly recommend it.

Elizabeth

Our much loved Shih Tzu had a good weeks holiday with her pet stay carer. She was obviously well cared for and happy.
We will not hesitate to book her in when we go abroad again. Many thanks PetStay!

We are now back at home with Tilly,having enjoyed our trip away,which she has clearly also done. Sue reported to us several times, saying that Tilly was very well behaved,even making friends with Sue’s cats,and that there were no problems at all. This was confirmed when we collected Tilly,who didnt seem too bothered about coming home. She was well brushed and happy,so we can count the booking as a complete success. Should we have another occasion to go away without Tilly we would be happy to use your service again. The whole exercise was handled very efficiently, Thanks from us both(and Tilly)

“I would highly recommend Elaine and Petstay. Milo has had a lovely holiday with Helen and we were able to go away and not have any concerns about his care. He had first class care and love like he has at home. I would not consider leaving Milo anywhere else. Thank you Elaine and Helen”

Mandy – North Petherton / Bridgwater

“We were very happy with everything you arranged – Mylo got on very well with Karen and her family and enjoyed all the exercise. He seemed to have had a great time and we would definitely use PetStay & Karen again in the future. Thanks for the updates and photos whilst we were away”.

James & Mandy – North Curry / South Petherton
September 2016

“Thank you, especially for your email whilst I was on holiday letting me know how Lottie was getting on. Very much appreciated. She seemed so relaxed when we picked her up so we knew she had had a good time. We were really happy with the PetStay service and we will definitely be contacting you again for our next holiday. Thank you for all your hard work finding such good matches for us.”

Barbara – Taunton / Bridgwater
August 2016

“The whole service you have provided has been great and Spook obviously loved staying with Debbie and she seemed quite happy with him. I think he would have been quite content not to come home! I’m sure that we will be coming to you again if Spook needs somewhere to stay.”

Pippa – Ilminster / Yeovil
August 2016

“I just wanted to send a personal reply to you just to thank you for your help in matching us with carers for Jack this year. We had a super holiday, more so because we knew Jack was well settled and happy with Peter and Janet. They were fantastic and a super couple. They gave Jack a lovely two weeks and made him feel so at home and spoilt him like he was their own dog. We really couldn’t have asked for more. We will definitely recommend you to all of my friends”

Maria – Highbridge / Weston Super Mare
August 2016

“Hi Elaine, we had a lovely time and so did Pickle, from his reaction to Maureen and her lovely dog Sam. Pickle had a sleep in this morning until 0830 so he must have been kept very busy at Maureen’s. We are always so pleased when he goes to stay with a Petstay carer as we can relax while we are away, safe in the knowledge that Pickle is happy and cared for, and fully kept as busy as we keep him. Thanks again to Maureen, not long now until his next stay, this time with Helen.”

Al – Burnham on Sea / Highbridge

“Dear Elaine, It was very comforting to know that Billy was happy and well looked after by Sherilyn. He seemed very at home and I would like to make another booking”.

Sarah – Stoke Sub Hambdon / Somerton

“We used PetStay for the first time and all we can say is thank you so much! Seth is a rescue dog and very high maintenance but thanks to Elaine he was matched with Peter and Janet who loved him like he was their own. We received emails from Seth while we were away which put our minds at ease and the photos showed Seth having a great holiday too! Peter and Janet are now friends not just dog sitters and we can’t thank them enough for how they loved our Seth in our absence. We will be using PetStay again and have already pencilled Peter and Janet in for October. Thank you again for an excellent service”.

Amy & Howard – Bridgwater / Weston Super Mare

“We have used Pestay’s services twice now and couldn’t be happier. I am always very reluctant to leave our border collie Ella with anyone and was very nervous about using a new service, but it has been brilliant. Both times Ella has stayed with Ruby she has come home very happy and tired out, which is perfect. Ruby also always sends us a message just to reassure us that she’s getting on well which really puts us at ease. We would highly recommend PetStay and hope to use their services again soon.”

Kate – South Petherton
June 2016

“Dear Elaine & Petstay. I just wanted to let you know that Rowan absolutely loved staying with Tracey. It was very obvious by Rowan’s behaviour when we collected him that he was very much part of Tracey’s and Bartie’s home and had been extremely well looked after, to the point that we felt guilty taking him away (something we’ve never felt before!). Tracey has a lovely relaxed and calm energy that Rowan thrived from. We couldn’t be happier and will certainly recommend and be using your service again in the future. We really appreciate you organising everything for us and your communication has been excellent throughout. Thank you so much, as knowing there is someone to mind Rowan to such a high standard means so much to us.”

Sarah – Wells / Glastonbury
June 2016

“We were totally delighted with the service provided by PetStay Somerset. Elaine, the pet carer, is a wonderful, warm and caring person, she welcomed our dog into her home and we felt our pet was literally ‘home from home’. We were extremely impressed with the professionalism of the organisation and the help and support provided by Elaine and Ruby. We will definitely be using PetStay Somerset again.”

Marie – Taunton / Bridgwater
June 2016

“This is the first time we have used PetStay and were thoroughly impressed with the professionalism; Elaine went to great lengths to get the perfect match for us. Janet and Peter were fantastic. Rocky loved them to bits which showed when we picked him up he was so relaxed, which was very comforting for us. We would highly recommend PetStay and will be using them again in the very near future.”

Debbie – Bridgwater / Weston Super Mare
June 2016

“My dog had a great time with Hayley and her dogs, its good to know that your pet is well looked after while you’re away. As well as getting good pet care, the admin side is very professionally handled by Elaine. I will certainly use PetStay again”

Peter – Yeovil / Ilminster
June 2016

We had relatively little time to organise this stay for Odie but Elaine found us Alisdair and Angela. Our dog had a great weekend, as did we without any worries or concerns for his care. We would recommend the service to everyone without hesitation.

Marion & Les – Edingworth / Burnham-on-Sea

“Barney had a great holiday and it was good to know he was happy while I was away. He was very sleepy & tired after his busy weekend. Thank you and Hayley so much for giving him a happy stay.”

Jack & Jess pictured having a cuddle with carer Sherilyn: “Hi Elaine, We have arrived home safe with our lovely dogs. Just want to pass on my thanks to Sherilyn and Clive; Jess and Jack really enjoyed their stay with them. They were pleased to see us but once home I think they both missed Sherilyn and Clive; they have been wonderful pet sitters and I’m so thankful for them looking after our beloved dogs. Once again, thank you.”

Claire – Yeovil/ Somerton

“We are more than happy with the service PetStay has provided us, carer Ruby is a marvel. Fiji came back a lot calmer than he left us, not sure if Ruby or her dog Oska is responsible, but we are delighted. I have recommended you to a few people. Once again many thanks for the excellent service you have provided”

Amanda – South Petherton

Freddie & Woowoos recently enjoyed their 2nd PetStay holiday with carer Pat: “Hi Elaine, we had a lovely weekend thank you. The boys were happy so I know they were very well looked after by Pat, she is a lovely lady. Thanks again”

Mandy – Bridgwater / Ashwick
April 2016

“Thank you so much for all the lovely photos and reports on Hamlet and Jazz’s stay with Ruby. The dogs obviously had a very happy time and it all went very well. It has been a great relief to us to find such a wonderful solution for the dogs when we are away and to have had such peace of mind. Thank you again for such efficient organisation of it all.”

Athena – Castle Cary / South Petherton
March 2016

“Dear Elaine, I’ve sat for ages trying to put something together to say how pleased we are that we left Bailey on holiday with Lyn & Derek. I could list the positives forever, there were no negatives. The best comment I can give is that on our arrival to collect Bailey he got all excited as usual, glad to see us, ready to go home etc. Then he went back to the rocking chair he was on, curled up and went to sleep. When a dog gets that comfortable in someone else’s home you don’t have to worry about leaving him there again, magic”

Phil & Norma – Yeovil / Henstridge
March 2016

“My husband & I just wanted to pass along our sincerest thanks to you & carer Pat for making the arrangements for Loki with PetStay at such short notice. He was so distraught the last time he returned from kennels that I couldn’t imagine ever doing that to him again! He appeared in great spirits when we picked him and clearly had an excellent time with Pat – it was such a relief to know he was staying with someone who loves dogs and would look after him like one of the family. Pet Stay has earned customers for life with us.”

Kelly – Wells /Shepton Mallet
February 2016

“Our dogs, Sammie and Gibson, stayed with Sherilyn and Clive for 9 days. The arrangements were very straight forward to make and we loved being able to visit before we decided to book the dogs in. Elaine was very easy to contact and extremely helpful and Sherilyn and Clive were very welcoming to the dogs and us! We went away knowing that Sammie and Gibson were being left in safe hands and that they would be looked after and loved. On our return it was lovely to see how happy they were and know that they had settled in. Thank you Sherilyn, Clive and Elaine for taking away the worry about leaving them, we will definitely be back.”

Claire – Bridgwater / Somerton
February 2016

“My two dogs have just spent 12 days with PetStay, the service was excellent. Elaine spent time matching them with the right carer and after our pre stay meeting I was totally reassured that they would be happy there. I have to say that my two are rather indulged but this didn’t put Hannah or Elaine off. I will certainly use the service again it was peace of mind and enabled us to have a care free holiday”

Julie – Somerton / Hatch Beauchamp

“Hello Elaine, the service was excellent and I’ll definitely be using PetStay again. The carer messaged me everyday letting me know how Barley was and even sending me pictures which was lovely.” *Photo supplied by owner*

“Hi Elaine, we are home safe and sound with Murphy and I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for organising for him to go and stay with Karen. He settled well and didn’t want to come home! Karen was great and we were texting over the first couple of days which really reassured us. She said she really enjoyed having him. Thank you again and we will be sure to recommend you. Happy New Year”.

Sarah – Yeovil / Stoke Sub Hambdon
January 2016

“I am extremely impressed with the service provided by PetStay. My two dogs Marley and Paddy had such a lovely time and didn’t want to come home. Carers Lyn and Derek are wonderful and all the communication and updates about how they were doing from Elaine was perfect, which made my holiday more enjoyable knowing they were happy. Thank you so much”.

Sophie – Yeovil / Henstridge
December 2015

“We were very happy with PetStay Somerset from start to finish. The website was helpful and informative. We were contacted about our needs very quickly and even though it was short notice we were offered a number of options for carers. A meeting with the carer we chose was set up smoothly and it was great to meet the whole family and see how our dogs got on with them. There were a number of forms to fill in but this did reassure us that they had all the information needed to make sure our dogs would be safe and happy. The carer was very flexible and helpful about drop off and pick up times. PetStay sent us an email while we were away to confirm that all was fine and even a few holiday snaps afterwards. The dogs were clearly happy and we felt very comfortable about their stay. All in all it was a very thorough and considerate service from PetStay and the carer. We will definitely want to use them again”.

Iris & Mike – Glastonbury / Bridgwater
November 2015

“We recently used PetStay Somerset for the first time so that we could attend a family wedding and know that our Spaniel puppy was being well cared for whilst we were away having fun. Elaine accommodated our request at reasonably short notice and matched Ruby with some local carers. The registration process was simple but thorough; the introductions that happened before the stay itself were extremely valuable in allowing us to meet the carers and view where Ruby would be staying before either party committed to the arrangement. Ruby thoroughly enjoyed herself and we would not hesitate to use the carers or the service again. Thanks to Elaine and her team of PetStay carers – we were delighted with the service”

Sharon – Weston Super Mare
November 2015

“We are very glad we are dealing with Petstay, we find them very professional and very reassuring that we can leave our pet with their vetted carers. We will certainly use them again in the future. Thank you once again PetStay”.

Avril & Rod – Yeovil / Somerton

“We would like to thank you for introducing us to Ginny and the wonderful care she and her family gave to our precious Labrador, Dido. You managed to match Dido with the most wonderful family and after the first introductory meeting we felt so relieved and reassured that we were able to truly enjoy our holiday knowing she was happy and well loved. True testament to her care was when we arrived to collect her and she wasn’t in a great hurry to leave! It was very obvious to us that you take a great deal of time and care finding the right people – after all, leaving a very loved, valuable member of the family with another ( first time in her 13 years!) was quite daunting. The pictures of her adventures whilst we were away were a much appreciated and moving touch – we would be more than happy to entrust her to Ginny’s care again.”

Bev & Steve – Wells / Wincanton

Gorgeous Charlie is a regular visitor and he just loves his PetStay carers – the feeling is definitely mutual. Here is some lovely feedback following Charlie’s most recent visit:
“When we dropped Charlie off he was so pleased to see Alasdair and Angela. It gives us piece of mind whilst we’re away. We know he is well looked after and has a great time”

Neil & Pam – Weston-Super-Mare / Burnham on Sea

“We are pleased to report that we are very, very happy with the holiday Lyn & Derek provided for Dram. In fact it seems they all enjoyed the experience! We even had a letter from Dram telling us what he got up to in the week and how much he enjoyed himself. We think he has been totally spoiled. We would recommend Lyn & Derek’s care to anyone needing to have their pet looked after for holidays or any other reason. Thank you to PetStay”

Jenny – Chard / Henstridge
September 2015

Just a line to say a big thank you to all at PetStay. Harry had a great time with Lyn and Derek. Nothing was too much trouble to ensure that Harry’s stay was perfect. The photos we received while we were away helped ease any concerns as we could see he was very relaxed! We would happily recommend PetStay, so much so, that Harry’s next two trips are already booked. Many thanks,

Diane & Chris – Somerton / Henstridge

“Thank you Elaine for this PetStay service. Charlie-Brown has had a wonderful holiday with his carers Sue & Dave (& Max). I felt so reassured that he would be cared for and safe once I met the carers and felt relaxed leaving him. 5 star service, I will recommend to everyone!”

Rebecca – Yeovil

“We were very impressed with the service from PetStay Somerset – we contacted them at very short notice and Elaine went out of her way to find a solution for us in spite of all the challenges. Our dog Bailey spent a very enjoyable week with Pat and we were able to enjoy our holiday knowing he was well cared for in a loving home environment. I’d thoroughly recommend PetStay Somerset, Elaine and her carers.”

Jennifer – Ashwick, Oakhill

Buddy is a regular PetStay customer so to ensure that we can accommodate him when his owner is away he has more than one carer who looks after him. He is a gorgeous big boy and is much loved by us all at PetStay. Here is what his owner recently said following his latest visit: “Now that we have found Petstay we will never consider using kennels again. Each of the carers Bud has stayed with have been absolutely wonderful and the reassuring feeling one gets, safe in the knowledge that your best friend is being cared for as part of a family, means you can enjoy your holiday without worry. I can not recommend PetStay enough”.

Mick – Martock / Yeovil / Wincanton

Thank you so much for all of your help, and to Sherilyn and Clive for taking such good care of my beloved friends! We have no hesitation to use PetStay again”

Charlie – Burnham on Sea / Somerton

“Hi Elaine, just like to thank PetStay and Ginny for arranging a home for chip at such short notice. It was a load off our minds to know chip was safe and happy and being well and truly pampered if the photos are anything to go by! We would definitely recommend PetStay to anyone and would not hesitate to use you again. Thanks once again”

Maggie – Wincanton

Thor is a regular PetStay customer so to ensure that we can accommodate him when his owner is away he now has 2 carers who look after him – Ginny & Debbie. Here is some great feedback following his latest visit: “Thor had a really lovely time, he was spoilt rotten, fussed lots and had plenty of playtime. I’m really glad we found Petstay. You have helped us massively and now he’s got two perfect holiday homes!”

Heidi – Yeovil / Wincanton

“Hi Elaine, just to say how very pleased I am with how Sherilyn and Clive have looked after our Mabel – if you had searched the country you couldn’t have found nicer people of that I’m sure. Also thank you so much as I’ve said before I shall spread the word of your excellent service”.

Meg – Ilminster

“Thank you very much for all your help in sorting the accommodation for Jones, it worked brilliantly and I was so pleased to be able to relax away, knowing that Jones was safe and well. After meeting Alison, I had no doubt that Jones would be happy staying with her, and also that she would be no problem and hopefully fun to have around. The best thing is not having to worry when you’re away, and I certainly felt very assured knowing she was with Alison. I would have no hesitation in recommending you and hopefully using Alison in the future when Jones needs somewhere safe and happy to stay”.

Anna – Taunton / Yeovil

We were very happy to leave Dylan in the care of Lyn and Derek. Dylan settled with them straight away on his initial visit, they were very friendly, calm, caring and confident in managing Dylan. When we picked him up he had obviously enjoyed his stay and we were able to relax and enjoy our weekend knowing Dylan was well looked after. We would not hesitate to use PetStay again.

Allan & Jenny – Merriot / Henstridge

I came across PetStay quite by chance and decided to give Elaine a call and discuss what was involved. We met the carers Dave and Sue with our dog Leo in February at their home and were made very welcome. It was a lovely environment and I felt it would suit him very well. We have just returned from holiday and found him in great spirits. I was very anxious whilst away but in the end decided to get on with my holiday knowing he was in good hands. Dave and Sue are a lovely couple.

Hi Elaine, just like to thank you for ensuring Reuben had a great holiday. John and Sue were the perfect hosts and we had no worries about leaving Reuben with them. They made him feel at home from the minute we met them. It certainly made our honeymoon far more relaxed knowing he was in such caring hands. Thank you again and please pass on our thanks to John and Sue.

The entire experience with Petstay has been absolutely fantastic, right from the initial enquiry to the collection of our dog Riley after his holiday with Lyn and Derek, his carers. Elaine was really helpful, informative and matched him perfectly! We felt reassured from the off that this would be a brilliant service and we were not disappointed. Our first meeting with Lyn and Derek went well. Riley took to them immediately and settled down for a nap whilst we chatted about his routine and habits. He was clearly very relaxed! We had no hesitation agreeing to proceed with Lyn and Derek. They provided a caring home for him which suited him perfectly. On our return from our holiday Riley looked like he had been extremely well looked after. Lyn and Derek were superb, a lovely couple who we would most definitely like to place Riley with again in the future. Thank you Petstay for taking the angst out of such an important decision. Great service. We will be in touch!

“We are delighted with the service received from Petstay. Everything was very well set up and Scrumpy had a great time. We were very relaxed that she was in such good hands – Thank you”.

“Many thanks Elaine for introducing us to Alison and her lovely family. Holly has just returned from her first weekend ‘holiday’ and has been looked after so well and I’m sure a little spoilt too. The photo Alison text us this morning of Holly relaxing and looking very contented really put our minds at rest. We wouldn’t hesitate using PetStay/Alison again”

“This is the first time that we have ever left Tia for a holiday as we have always taken her with us, but this time it was not possible as we needed to visit family abroad. We were lucky to have found PetStay and even luckier to be paired with Ginny and her family. We had no hesitation in leaving Tia and we know that she enjoyed her stay and Ginny and her family enjoyed having her stay. We would recommend PetStay to give peace of mind and will definitely be using their services again at some stage. Thanks to all of you for a wonderful holiday for both us and for Tia”

“My dog had a fantastic month’s stay with Elaine in January. Not only did he get a new best mate to play with, he got more walks than he does at home. And he came home trained to walk to heel! I cannot praise the service highly enough – the whole process from meeting up, booking and the actual stay. I would recommend it to anyone who is considering putting their dogs in kennels while they go on holiday – it’s your dogs holiday too.”

We were very pleased with the way that Baz and Belle were looked after by Pauline and her dog Jim. All of the dogs got on famously and Baz and Belle went quiet when we took them home as they were sulking – missing Jim! There is no doubt that Pauline’s house is totally focused around the dogs and that they were very well looked after – even Baz managed to lose a little weight so Pauline obviously walked them well and stuck to their diet regime. All very good and many thanks.

After deciding to book a holiday abroad I was on a mission to find somewhere perfect for Murphy, just what he deserves. I came across PetStay and I’m so glad I did. Murphy had a lovely holiday and enjoyed the garden and playing with the carer’s dog. Thank you to Elaine for fantastic communication and matching Murphy with a lovely family. I’m now happy about going away again in the future knowing that he has a home away from his own home.”

“Finding a carer to look after our dog was not an easy task. Max is a boisterous Labradoodle who stayed with PetStay and had a wonderful 9 days vacation with long muddy walks and plenty of play time in the carer’s lovely large garden. He followed the same eating, sleeping, walking routine we have at home which meant he felt relaxed and happy. He will be looking forward to another ‘holiday’ very soon. Thank you PetStay for taking such good care of Max and giving us perfect piece of mind on our holiday.

My 3 dogs spent 3 days with a lovely family. They made them feel so welcome and part of the family. All my boys are lively and have very different needs but Ginny and her lovely family spent so much time playing with them. I had a lovely picture of my hyper collie chilled out with his legs in the air on the sofa. It’s such peace of mind knowing they are safe and well looked after (I had reports of Bear my golden doodle having a ball with Ginny’s teenage lad and a few of his friends). I’m now looking at booking another trip ASAP as now I can go away knowing all is well. Thanks Ginny and Elaine xxx

Thank you so much to PetStay (and particularly to Ginny and her family) for looking after Lettie and Oscar, my two Labradoodles, while I was away. They were obviously very happy and content in their holiday home and it is wonderful to know they were in a ‘home from home’ environment. Can thoroughly recommend PetStay to anyone looking for an alternative to kennels

Brilliant is all we can say. From the minute our 3 year old lab Martha met Elaine and Barney we could tell she was going to be right at home with them and Elaine’s husband Kevin. Elaine couldn’t do enough to quell any worries about leaving her and Martha didn’t give us a second glance when we left her. Daily text updates were much appreciated to let us know how Martha was doing. When we picked Martha up she had obviously had a lovely time and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Elaine again and recommend her to other dog owners.
