PetStay West Midlands North and South Staffordshire, your local home dog boarding provider.

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.

Why Choose PetStay?

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.

What Makes Us Different?

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.

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.

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.

Meeka

November 2022

I was worried about leaving Meeka as he has only been away from family members once in 12 years. I didn’t need to have been, Sharon and her family treated him as one of the family allowing in into their home including on the bed😀 lovely walks with their lovely dogs. Thank you.

Katie

September 2022

We are very happy with the service we received from PetStay. We are very happy with the care that Sally gave the dogs. We plan to use PetStay again.

Monty

March 2022
Our 2 year old Shihpoo Monty had a great 12 day holiday with Janet. It was the first time we had left him and receiving photos of him out and about as well as relaxing on his back with legs in the air let us know that he was safe and well cared for. Would definitely use the service again. Many thanks Simon, Sue and Janet. Maureen

Alison

March 2022

Our 8 month black lab had his first stay with a PetStay carer in South Birmingham last weekend. We were delighted with the service from the initial really helpful contact, through meeting a prospective carer and finally our dog’s obviously very happy experience while we were away. It really was a home from home for him and we would highly recommend PetStay.

Alfie

November 2021

We recently booked a week’s stay with a lovely lady called Hayley through PetStay’s Sue and Simon. Our puppy is very sociable but does have some health issues. Cannot praise Hayley enough – our Alfie had the best time, bonded well with Hayley’s little pooch and, just as importantly, received the best of care, had lots of play and walks and an abundance of cuddles! Thank you so much Hayley.

Debbie

Freddie

September 2021

Never left our dog before this holiday but had no option, contacted PetStay they were efficient and totally put our minds at rest. Our dog boarder was Donna such a lovely caring person made our break so much better knowing Freddie was in such a loving home while we were away.

Lesley

Blaise

September 2021

We have picked up Blaise today after spending 10 wonderful days with Julia and Sue.

They both made sure Blaise was well taken care of whilst we were on holiday. We received regular updates which really put our mind at ease.

Cheryl

Jacqueline

August 2021

Our Jack Russell was spoilt and well cared for, very pleased with Donna and her family for caring for our pet, followed instructions from you and sent pictures daily.

Jane

July 2021

So glad I came across PetStay and was introduced to Rosemary. I have a very nervous dog and she doesn’t suit kennels. I now have no hesitation leaving her when we go away. She is exceptionally well looked after by Rosemary. Thank you

Gabby

June 2021

I would like to thank you for putting us in touch with Ninette, Gabby absolutely loved her stay and we loved all the photos and videos

We were so anxious to leave Gabby due to past times we have had to put her in kennels but Kevin and Ninette were amazing.

They looked after her so well and we can tell Gabby had so much fun. We would not hesitate in booking with them again.

Lisa

Sam

April 2021
We left our puppy with Hayley for the day to attend a funeral. We had never left him before so was nervous but Hayley put our minds at ease straight away. Sam had a brilliant day and we will be booking Hayley again. Thank you. Amy Louise Clay

George

March 2021

I was nervous about leaving George with anyone else as we’ve never been apart. Donna absolutely put my mind at ease and she took the most wonderful care of George, he was made one of the family. I felt extremely at ease leaving him with Donna, she was extremely kind and loving towards him and he seemed to enjoy his stay with Donna, who kept me updated with messages and photos and videos every day. I will definitely use Donna again.

Virginia Chambers

Zelda

November 2020

Our dog Zelda had a fantastic time with her carer Hayley. PetStay helped us find the carer who was the nearest to our home. We booked the dates in advance and we were informed about the rules to follow (payment, COVID-19, etc…). Hayley sent us a picture every day that showed Zelda was having fun and was walked on a lead outside. It is such a relief to know she had a great time without us. Thank you PetStay! I could not have let my dog in a kennel…!

Cristina Filipe Araujo

Alfie

September 2020

Best experience! Alfie had never stayed away before and Rosemary made the whole experience so easy and stress free! She is truly an angel, Alfie has been well looked after! Would definitely book again!

Susan Heeley

Maisie

February 2020

Big thank you to Rosemary who looks after our dog Maisie 2/3 times each year.
She is an amazingly kind and caring lady. We go away knowing that Maisie is in safe hands.

Philomena

Walter & Olive

December 2019

Our two dogs Walter and Olive have just had another excellent stay with PetStay. It makes going away so much more enjoyable knowing that they are being well cared for.

Guy

Sam

December 2019

Catherine cared for Sam our golden retriever whilst we were on holiday for 2 weeks. He was relaxed and happy when we picked him up and was not too keen on coming home with us. Everything was well organised by PetStay Midlands South and Catherine was so caring that we were confident he would be looked after well. Thank you

Grace

Porto

December 2019

Porto was extremely happy and calm when we picked him up, after his stay with Gill. And he settled straight back in at home afterwards. I’m delighted about this, because this hasn’t always been then case…. He doesn’t take to everyone and can take a while to settle him back in at home, so I would therefore highly recommend Gill

Catherine

Phoebe

January 2019

Amazing service from Keith at PetStay and the carer Karen. Our chihuahua Phoebe was looked after like a queen, even let her sleep in their bed – would definitely recommend!

Adam

Oscar

June 2018

Brilliant! Keith and Lin are just amazing, and what a fab alternative to kennels. Oscar went to meet them several weeks ago, before I confirmed our booking. He was so well looked after, with outings to the park and local events, and his holiday was filled with activities, so much like we usually do together. Keith and Lin just couldn’t do enough for Oscar, and he came home a very happy doggy, having been spoilt rotten for a week. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be using them again in the future.

Debbie

Beryl & Harvey

April 2018

My two dogs home boarded recently with Tracy through PetStay West Midlands South in her family home. It was so reassuring to know they get one to one care with PetStay, as no other dogs are boarded at the same time. They were really well looked after and seemed very happy and content when collected. I loved receiving text updates and pics too so a big thank you to Tracy and to PetStay for a fab service!
