Hello, we are Sue and Simon Jennings the proud owners of the West Midlands North and South Staffs 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 and as we understand the effort and love owners put into the training and care of their dogs and from personal experience, I 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. Its 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 North and South Staffordshire Branch.

PetStay West Midlands North and South Staffordshire Branch covers Rugeley, Cannock, Lichfield Tamworth, Walsall Sutton Coldfield From B23 to WS15 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.

Our 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 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 ourselves to make sure they maintain the stringent criteria required for the license by the local authority.

PetStay West Midlands

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. I look forward to hearing from you and providing the very best home boarding that West Midlands North and South Staffordshire 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.

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.

Our Reviews

Can I please give a review for Wendy who looked after my dog Merlin a couple of weeks ago.

She was incredibly professional and helpful, very reassuring and I knew that Merlin was in fun and safe hands. He was so happy when I picked him up that he didn’t want to leave. Thanks Wendy for doing a great job.

Thank you 🙂

Izzy

We would like you to know that we had a wonderful experience with Colin and Annette. They took care of Izzy as if she was their own pet, and when things got difficult and she needed an anaesthetic and procedure for a badly infected paw, they sorted everything out, keeping us fully informed all the way. Regular daily pictures and updates left is in no doubt that Izzy was very happy with them. All in all perfect pet sitters

Thank you

PetStay sorted out Sue for us at the last minute when illness prevented his planned stay elsewhere. Sue kept Ferris in his usual routine. He enjoyed his stay with countryside walks and her beautiful garden. Great to know he is also having a good holiday!

I think Lynne is amazing, I liked a few of the carer’s, but Lynne is special, Lily loves her. Lynne is calm & organised, and very helpful. She sends me lots of pics of Lily & tells me what they have done that day.  It makes me feel that Lily is really safe & looked after. I can get a bit stressed when I leave Lily, my first dog, and she is a clingy dog. So Lynne makes me happy to leave her. Yes I will always have Lynne if I can.

Kinds Regards.

Darcy has stayed with Roger and Gill a few times now and our previous Frenchie Popsy stayed with them to. I wouldn’t leave Darcy with anyone else she loves staying with them. She’s full of energy and that doesn’t phase them at all. They stick to her daily routine and she even sleeps in bed with them. We take Darcy for afternoon visits in-between her bookings as we see Roger and Gill as our family now

What can I say about Margaret and Paul, except they are fantastic! Bayley goes to see them 3 or 4 times a year and I know that he will be looked after as if he was their own. He gets spoilt rotten with fabulous walks and loads of playtime. They send photos and updates everyday which is so reassuring. A huge thank you.

We received such a great service through PetStay. From the initial contact and arrangements through to the wonderful sitter our dog stayed with we were made to feel at ease and confident that Suki would be well cared for. Our sitter sent regular updates during the time Suki was with her. Suki had the time of her life and is looking forward to us going away again! Suki is a nervous dog but the experienced sitter knew exactly how to make her feel at ease. Would highly recommend

Marmalade has been a regular with PetStay for a number of years, Sue always ensures that she finds the match for our Cocker Spaniel , he has had many stays with Elaine and Bob who he loves, and this time he met Margaret and Paul and couldn’t have been happier. He came back with toys and was so relaxed I think he was disappointed to be home !!!!

We have used PetStay on multiple times and have always been more than happy with their carers. This was Ebony’s first stay with Maggie and she did not disappoint. Maggie clearly has an amazing love for dogs and we were delighted with the care she provided. Regular photos and updates were lovely to receive and see how well she was being cared for (but we knew that anyway!) Highly recommended, such a nicer option than kennels, book with confidence

Darcy had a fab time with Roger and Gill.  We were sent texts and pics every day and she had plenty of walks, belly rubs and cuddles.  She can be boisterous and full of life but it was no problem for Roger and Gill, they understand what she is like.   She loves sleeping on their bed and playing in the garden or just chilling out with her bone.  We wouldn’t trust anyone else with Darcy.

They have a very pet friendly home and took them for lots of walks during their stay. Annette sent us lots of photos during the five days . We will definitely take the dogs to them again

I wanted to let you know that myself and my husband were very impressed with the love and care that Maggie gave Bertie, he truly had a pampered holiday.  We collected him earlier today and he was so relaxed and chilled out. Maggie had even brought a chair down from upstairs so that he could see out of the window. We will have no hesitation in leaving Bertie with Maggie in the future, in fact we are talking about booking next year’s holiday so that Bertie can stay with Maggie.  Maggie truly loves dogs and understands their needs.

Once again thank you for booking us with Maggie, she is an amazing lady.

I have 2 little dogs, a Yorkie and a Yorki poo. They are my furr babies and I was so worried about leaving them with someone they didn’t know when I had to travel abroad for a family occasion recently.

Wendy, her husband Mick and son Brad are such a lovely welcoming family. They invited us in to their home to meet before my holiday and they did everything to help alleviate my worries.  Wendy kept in touch during my time away and sent pictures of my girls with updates on how they were doing. I was able to relax and enjoy my holiday knowing they were well cared for.

When I returned to collect them it was clear to see they had made themselves at home. I would definitely recommend Wendy and happily use her services again.

Thanks

I would like to say how very pleased I am with the service provided by PetStay and with Wendy who looked after Dotty for me.  She was brilliant and I would not have any problem recommending her to anyone else.  Dotty as you know is 9 and has never been left before, when she was a little worried, I believe Wendy did everything to make her feel at home.

I shall certainly ask for Wendy, if she is available next time we are away.

I’m writing to thank you for arranging Milo’s stay at such short notice, it was truly appreciated and for the thoroughness and detail in the paperwork, ensuring his stay was safe and secure. Meaning I could go away and relax knowing my fur baby was in good hands.

Deb, is a credit to your business, and I wouldn’t hesitate in asking for her again. She is a lovely, friendly lady and was so thorough in getting all of Milo’s details, characteristics, and needs written down and getting to know him.

It was also so lovely having daily texts and photographs from Deb letting me know how Milo had settled in and what he had been up to.

We’ve been using PetStay for several years now and can thoroughly recommend them.  The booking process is easy and Sue and Simon are quick to respond and prompt in finding an appropriate carer for our rescue Staffy, Claude.  Claude has stayed with several different carers over the years; we have never had any cause to worry about him whilst we are away, and he always returns to us happy and relaxed.

Claude has stayed with Lorraine and Jamie in Great Barr several times now, and treats it as his second home!  They love having him and we know he’s very well looked after and given lots of fuss and attention whilst in their care.  Knowing that he’s so happy there means we can go away and enjoy our holiday without a second thought.

Thank you and we look forward to booking in again.

I found PetStay very helpful when I needed to leave my dachshund for a holiday. They introduced me to a pet sitter who also had a miniature dachshund.

Our first use of PetStay – the admin/introduction process was smooth, efficient and reassuring. Janet and Pete who looked after Oscar could not have been nicer – we liked them immediately we met them and felt very comfortable leaving Oscar with them (we knew he would be nervous – first boarding since Covid happened). We received updates throughout his stay and even a follow up to check everything was ok after his first night back at home. Really happy with PetStay and Oscar’s carers. Would recommend – thank you!!

It’s always a tough decision but there was a lot of reassurance from the moment we got in touch. Great communication between the carers and us, sent loads of pictures and he had a great time. They are the best if you want a peace of mind while you are away, he was left in the best hands.

Just a quick message to thank PetStay and of course, ‘Vee’, who looked after Milo for three weeks whilst we were in Canada.

Milo was well looked after by Vee and enjoyed his stay with her and the family. As he is twelve years of age, he is a little feisty, and doesn’t always toe the line! Vee, as a seasoned and very experienced dog boarder, made sure that Milo did eat, albeit perhaps not entirely his usual diet, but he was happy to enjoy the finer things in life and bonded well with Vee and her family.  We would have no hesitation in placing Milo in her care in the future.

Thank you all.

He had a wonderful time with Fiona and her family. It was lovely to get the regular photos and updates from Fiona whilst we were away as it really put our minds at rest that he was being well looked after. In fact our only worry was would he want to come home!?

I would highly recommend your service to anyone and have already mentioned you to our friends and family. I will definitely use your service again.

QuinceQuince

My boy Quince had a rough start in life which has left him nervous in some situations, causing him to rush & bark at men. This has meant that we have been hesitant to leave him with anyone. He also has severe separation anxiety.

Recently a situation arose which meant that we were going to put him in someone else’s care for a few days. I remembered meeting Sue the owner of PetStay West Midlands outside the deli in Boldmere . I recognised a kindred spirit in her deep love & understanding of dogs but also an appreciation of how tough it is for some owners to leave their precious pets in the care of someone else.

So I phoned her, and although she was about to fly to Spain, she asked me & Quince to go & meet her & her husband ( who’s the first man that Quince hasn’t barked at) and her beautiful girl dog Ruby. It all went well apart from Quinces thorough inspection of Ruby’s dinner, but he was quickly forgiven.

We booked in, filled in some paperwork.

Sue’s very professional & knowledgeable with a calmness about her that settled any worries I had.

Every day that we were away Sue sent us photos & updates. This meant that we could relax & give our full attention to what was going on .

When we picked him up he was happy to see us but not in that hysterical way that I was expecting.

I can’t thank Sue & the rest of team Quince enough. We will not hesitate to contact her again.

Thank you thank you thank you

Minnie stayed with Roger and Gill last week whilst we were away.  Minnie has stayed with them on previous occasions and has always been happy there, this time was no different and Minnie even seemed excited when we arrived and trotted down the drive quite happily, when we left she barely gave us a backward glance! Roger and Gill kept us informed about her throughout the week and even sent photos which is really comforting. I definitely recommend them, they are lovely people. Thank you Roger and Gill, it means so much to know Minnie is well cared for.

Hi I am very happy with the service I get from PetStay.  Lorraine who has looked after my dog Brandy a couple of times now is excellent she keeps in contact by sending updates and photos. I can relax on holiday knowing Brandy is taken care of.

Blaise

Blaise had a fabulous relaxing overnight stay with Julia and Sue. This was Blaise’s first time away from us. We were nervous about leaving him. But we had nothing to worry about. Julia and Sue made us feel at ease straight away. They are incredibly thoughtful, caring and kind. They wanted to make sure they knew everything about Blaise so they could make him feel as comfortable as possible. You will see from the picture, he was very settled and I couldn’t ask for nicer people to look after him. We are going on holiday in August and I would not want him to be looked after by anyone else.

Thank you Sue and Julia. Cheryl, Thomas and Blaise.

Smudge

Would definitely recommend using this company, especially if like me you have not really left your dog before and you are nervous about doing so. They take time and ask lots of questions to find out all about the dog and them match them to the best carers. Sue at the West Midlands North branch made sure that all my questions were answered and found me a lovely couple to look after Smudge, my elderly Jack Russell. Having met them before we went away we knew that Smudge would be well cared for by Veronica and Phil and he had the best time with them and their family. It helped that he was in a home environment and not kennels and meant that we relaxed more. We were sent pictures so we could see that he was well and settled and it was great that he was the only dog in the house as he can be worried by other dogs. If we needed to use them again we wouldn’t hesitate to do so.

We collected Minnie from Roger & Gill yesterday. They kept me informed throughout our holiday of how she was and even sent me photos. It really helped us relax and enjoy our holiday knowing she was being well cared for. Roger & Gill are a lovely couple and I can whole heartedly recommend them. We look forward to using them to care for Minnie again soon.

Charlie stayed with Ninette and her family again while we were having some work done on the house. He was loved as if he was a dog of their own, played with lots, walked twice a day and generally made to feel at home. I would definitely recommend using PetStay and Ninette especially. We have used her on quite a few occasions now and it helps us to know Charlie is having a holiday if we go away or have work done. Charlie loves the family and is happy to see them too.

I cannot recommend PetStay highly enough! Our 6 month old Cockapoo, Bailey, has stayed with Sue and Simon for the last 9 days. From the first contact with Sue everything has been brilliant, 100% professional. They have treated Bailey like one of their own and she has had lots of fun and cuddles galore! I’m really happy I found them as I can now go away in the future knowing Bailey is in the safest of hands. Thanks Sue and Simon xx

Lola

From my first meet with Julie and Andy I loved them!

More importantly Lola was relaxed.

I had regular updates and photos and Lola had the best time.  To be honest Whenever I have left her previously with family members we have come home and she has been in a mood with us ignoring us and very quiet.  This has not been the case this time round, I think she has thoroughly enjoyed her weekend away and has come home happy and content.

I will not be leaving my Lola with anyone other than Julie and Andy they are just perfect!

Thankyou !

Luna

This is the second time we have used PetStay for our whippet Luna and they have provided outstanding care on both occasions. Luna stayed with carer Fiona and her family over the weekend and we felt confident the minute we left her that she was in safe and loving hands. Fiona kindly kept us updated with daily pictures and posts on how she was settling in, which we really appreciated. It really was lovely to know she was being looked after by a family with young children, who I knew would give her lots of fuss and attention. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Fiona look after Luna again in future – excellent service. Thank you PetStay!”

Oscar had a wonderful time. He was so chilled and happy when I picked him up. Ninette and her family were wonderful with him and they sent some lovely photos of what he was up to while I was away.

Leo was look after by Ninette who lives in Tamworth a true dog lover and really looked after Leo unfortunately Leo had a bad stomach and she cleaned up the mess with no fuss. I highly recommend her, she must have sent me hundreds of photos and videos. Leo as now got a new holiday home in Tamworth.

Lesley kindly had Eddie for us in September for 2 weeks and he absolutely loved her! Just wanted to give you some great feedback for her and also book another stay with her if we can please. She was so friendly and listened to Eddies usual routine. She really made him feel like he was on holiday too with all of the little treats!

Charlotte
October 2019

This was the first time using PetStay, my usual boarders with a company were not available so I was a little nervous placing my girls with someone new. However, their stay with Lesley went well. Lesley was friendly and welcoming and keen to know about my dogs and best to look after them and what to look out for. Lesley was very thorough with completing the paper work and ensuring all documentation was completed. Lesley sent us photos of our dogs to show that they were settled which is always good and stops you worrying about them. Lesley messaged me about a rash on the belly of one of my dogs and I assured her that there was nothing to worry about, but it was good that she let me know about it. On collecting my dogs they were in good spirits and eager to see me, they were in good condition and I even think that Lesley had given them a bath as they smelt nice and fresh. I would leave my dogs with Lesley again with no worries. Thanks Lesley.

Hi Sue….thank you so much for putting us in touch with Karen. Robbie and Poppy had a great time and were brilliantly looked after by Karen. She’s a lovely caring lady and I knew straight away that it would be a home from home for them. We had a wonderful and stress-free time with our grandson knowing that our fur babies were being perfectly taken care of.

Sue and Dennis

We left it late to organise our summer holiday and had previously used PetStay twice …Our local carer was unavailable and we managed to find an absolutely lovely lady through PetStay to look after our dog. Brilliant service and communications from the company and the carer – they really do care about your beloved pet. Many thanks PetStay and Sue – really appreciate your service. Well recommended.

I can’t recommend your service highly enough. All the carers are fantastic and have treated our much loved Shih Tzu’s as if they were their own. We have already arranged our next little break in August !

Thanks again and kindest regards,

Fudge was looked after like he was their own! He is walked twice a day, given lots of affection and their home and garden is a great place for pets to play and get exercise! They are a loving family and we all get on very well! We missed Fudge so much but Sue sent us lots of photos and updates. Fudge would love to stay with them again. Thank you so much Sue and Simon, you made our trip that much easier! Hope you are all well! X.

Sox & Sweep

Sue and family were amazing with our two dogs, Sox and Sweep. Sweep has had a lot of anxiety lately and Sue made him relax and even got him out and about walking which he had been refusing to do lately. I honestly think both dogs didn’t want to come home. It’s so nice knowing we now have a safe and friendly place we can leave the dogs when we go away. I honestly felt so relaxed knowing Sue had them. Excellent service by excellent people.

Angela and Chris in Tamworth were a lovely couple, with a great empathy for dogs.

It’s always difficult entrusting your ‘best friend’ to another person, however we are glad to recommend Angela and Chris.

Poppy was curled up relaxed and snoozing when we picked her up, and didn’t seem at all fazed at the change of surroundings.

This is the second time we’ve used Petstay (also Elaine in Walsall) and have been very happy on both occasions.

Thanks once again

To all Dog owners, I can highly recommend PetStay, I own a 22 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback, she stayed with Pet Stay for 18 days, cared for by Ninette, who took care of Jupiter, impeccably. I have used Kennels before, but I wouldn’t ever again, Pet Stay, provides a home from home care service.

Buster

“I have used PetStay for a while now, so I thought it was about time I left this wonderful company and Buster’s favourite carer Lorraine a review. I couldn’t ever imagine putting Buster in kennels so this is the perfect alternative and we get to go on holiday without having to worry about Buster. Buster loves going to Lorraine’s he actually pulls me to get up to her house and you can see that Lorraine loves her job so much. Booking is so easy and there is no stress at all with anything. It will always be my number one!”

Gibbs has stayed with Elaine at Pet Stay on a few occasions now and its home from for him. He gets spoilt with walks in the park and lots of cuddles. Most of all we can go away and feel reassured he is in the best hands. Elaine is understanding of his quirky and nervous ways. I would highly recommand Pet Stay who I have been using now for several years.

We were rather anxious to be leaving our 14 year old dog, Toby, for four weeks but having met and used the carers before (for a shorter stay), we knew that he would be in very good hands. Our thanks to Sue at Petstay North for taking Toby for the first couple of days when the holiday dates of our carer clashed with ours and safely delivering him to them. We have found all Petstay organisers to be very helpful in overcoming any logistical problems. We returned to find a very contented Toby who had clearly enjoyed his stay in a kind and friendly environment.

We would like to thank Elaine and Bob, who looked after our two darlings (dogs) over the bank holiday August. Elaine and Bob made Alfie and Ralph very comfortable and spoilt with their walks and interaction, I don’t think Alfie and Ralph wanted to leave them, they settled in immediately. Excellent boarders, who took on board our and the dogs needs and will certainly recommend them to look after your dog/s.

Tilly

As she is only 6 months old we were nervous of leaving Tilly, but Carol was so good with her and it was clear that she had a really happy time while we were away. Carol did everything possible to stick to Tilly’s routine and we were pleased to see photos of her having lovely walks and happy playtimes. We would have no hesitation in recommending both the Petstay Service or Carol and we will not feel at all guilty about going away without her in future.

We found PetStay on the internet and was very happy with the service, Skye stayed with Lorraine in Great Barr.

Lorraine was lovely and we definitely use PetStay and Lorraine again.

“I left Maisie with Christine for 3 days the first time whilst I was away and was very pleased with the care given. Christine has just looked after Maisie again for a week and has had a ball! She was treated like one of the family being taken on outings and spoiled rotten. I will definitely put Maisie with Christine again when I am away – it was very touching to see how emotional she was when I collected her which shows she loves her as much as I do. Thank you PetStay and particularly Christine”

Fudge

Our dog Fudge, a Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, stayed with Anthony and Jane for 9 nights recently and was looked after exceptionally! We booked through Sue at Petstay which was easy and the match with Anthony and Jane was perfect. This is the first time Fudge has stayed with anyone but family and Anthony and Jane were as warm and welcoming as family! We received photos of Fudge which helped us enjoy our holiday more as we knew he was having his own little holiday, with 3 walks a day and lots of care and affection which he loves. We can’t thank Anthony and Jane enough but we hope to see them very soon as we feel so very grateful to have met a couple who care for Fudge like we do! All the very best! Xxxx.

We always use PetStay to care for Max whenever we need to leave him for holidays or just a short break. Sue is lovely to deal with and it is very easy to book with her and receive a prompt reply. Max always goes to stay with PetStay carers Roger & Gill, he loves them both and is always happy and excited when he arrives at their home. They care for his every need just as we would and this is exactly what we are looking for, a home from home for him. We are then able to enjoy our holidays knowing he is in their care. We can happily recommend PetStay to everyone. A big thank you to Sue and Roger & Gill. xx

Charlie

Thank you for the pictures of his highness, they are his typical poses. He certainly seemed to enjoy being with you and the fact that you had no trouble with his eating was great. Sometimes he can show his annoyance by not eating his dinner.
I know he enjoyed being with you as he was about to come home with Martin when he dropped by. That is a good sign. Tom and I are absolutely thrilled that he has taken to you as this means we have a little more freedom.

I like the fact that you only take one dog at a time, Charlie is ok with others as you found but he is really a people dog. It is nice that he is in the home environment so it is home from home for him and he was very chilled out when we came to pick him up. Thank you all as a family for the love and attention you gave to our Charlie.

We would highly recommend this form of pet residency especially for dogs like Charlie who are used to being part of the family.

He is looking forward to his next stay in October.

I would unreservedly recommend Jenny as being the ideal sitter and the service both her and her family provides is to the highest standards.

Jenny is a wonderful ambassador for Pet Stay and Presley is already looking forward to his next holiday with this lovely family.
