At PetStay Leicester we provide a service second to none that will ensure that your dog receives a one-to-one carer whilst you are away on holiday. We are a growing dog home boarding service in Leicester and are becoming known for providing a loving, caring and stress-free alternative to dog kennels.

Your pet will be matched with one of our carefully selected and insured carers who will look after your dog for the whole duration of your time away and who will treat your dog as part of the family, adhering to the environment and routine that they normally receive at home. We are licensed and insured to care for your pet while you are away!

Your dog will live in the carers home with their own bed and toys so they’ll hardly know the difference, which is why dog sitting in Leicester from PetStay is a far less stressful experience than dog kennels.

Abe and Axel had a lovely time with Damian recently whilst we were away.  They settled in very quickly and it was immediately evident that Damian connected well with our boys!

Whilst away, Damian sent us updates and videos which was lovely to receive and really put our minds at rest so we could enjoy our holiday.  We will definitely be booking the boys in for future “mini breaks” with Damian!

Sally and Roger are lovely and I couldn’t have wished for better care for my 2 dogs.  Sally spent a lot of time asking me about my dogs likes and dislikes to ensure they enjoyed their stay.  I had regular photos and updates and could see that both of my dogs were happy and well cared for.  I have been using PetStay for approximately 12 years and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Maisie had her own amazing holiday with Sally and Roger. It’s clear how much Sally loves dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure Maisie was settled and happy, with lots of long walks and playtimes and enrichment. It’s the first time we’ve been able to use a boarder and have a family holiday abroad as Maisie can be anxious and unsettled in unfamiliar places but Sally listened to all our quirky instructions and kept us reassured with lots of pictures and lovely updates. I can’t think Sally and Roger enough for giving us our holidays back – Maisie can’t wait to go again! She has claimed her half of Sally’s bed, ready for next time!

This was my first-time using PetStay and I was initially feeling anxious about how it would all go as everyone knows, your dogs are your babies, and you want to know they are loved and well looked after whilst you are away.  PetStay asked me for a lot of information about my two dogs prior to matching them up with a local carer which I really liked. Once this had been done, they arranged for me to meet the carer, Jean, before they stayed over on a trial run. Needless to say, they absolutely loved her and vice versa so this put my mind at ease immediately.  My two fur babies had the best time with Jean as you can see in the photo. The whole booking process was easy with great communication from Amanda. I have booked them to stay with Jean again soon. I would recommend PetStay to anyone who prefers home boarding as opposed to kennels. Many thanks, glad we found you!

My girl, Cassie is dog reactive and it has been difficult to find suitable places for her to go when we go on holiday. With PetStay you can specify exactly want you need for your dog to be most comfortable. This is the second time Cassie has been to Ian and Denise, they look after her as if she was their own and she looked great when I picked her up. Their home is a real home from home for her and I have already booked her in for next year!

As always, Lola had a lovely time with her carer Jane. This is about the 6th time, that Lola has stayed with Jane and we cannot fault the service. Like most of us, leaving your dog with someone for the first time is a worrying time. However, before Lola’s first stay with Jane, we visited her home, to meet Jane, discussed all of Lola’s daily routines, they both got to spend time together and I came away 100% confident that our she was in safe hands and would be well cared for, in a loving, environment. Whenever we leave her, we have regular updates and photos of Lola sent to us by Jane, and she always look very content and settled. I cannot recommend Petstay enough. We already have 3 bookings in place for 2024.

I cannot praise her enough, Yvonne is so in tune with dogs different personalities, she is very kind and caring towards Charlie, going over and above to make his experience an extremely positive stay. Charlie has a lovely time with Yvonne. She keeps in touch whilst you on your holidays with texts and videos (which is great to receive and reassuring). I would advise booking early as she does get booked up quickly which is testament to her dedication and commitment caring for her furry friends. Highly recommended. 5 star plus, Thank you Yvonne and PetStay until the next time …

Iain and Denise were very welcoming and made us feel at ease leaving Ralph. We were a little worried as he can be a handful, but they were both very confident with him. They kept us updated with photos while we were away and Ralph looked like he was having the time of his life. We would 100% recommend Iain and Denise to anyone and would also recommend PetStay (in fact we have already recommended the service). This is the first place we will come for our holidays now.

This was Ralf’s second stay with David and his dog Edward. Straight away he recognised where he was and pulled me to the front door! Ralf was very pleased to see them both after what had been nearly six months. We had regular updates from David of how Ralf had settled into and what they were up to. Ralf is booked in twice more this year and it really does make a holiday much more relaxing and enjoyable knowing he is happy too

I have used PetStay for several years now and each carer has been friendly, caring, professional and done nothing more than maintain my confidence in trusting them to look after my dogs. Sally looked after them recently, my 2 dogs are 8 months and 13 years old so I warned Sally it would be a challenge with 2 very different needs. But I needn’t have worried I got regular photos/updates and I’ve already booked again, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Finding PetStay has been a relief & joy! Rosie had a great weekend with Richard, she settled really quickly & put our mind at ease for future holidays. Richard was happy for us to make contact & he sent us pics of her enjoying her own mini break too. PetStay is easy to organise, with the reassurance that she’ll be looked after by someone who loves dogs & has the time to spend with her too. The booking process can be a bit tricky on the website but Amanda replies quickly to get things sorted. Thanks both for helping to make our time away a relaxing one knowing that Rosie was so well cared for.

PetStay is easy to deal with. We can always rely on Damian to look after our girl – well little pony really, really well.

Thank you for your professionalism, prompt response and help in finding a suitable home for Bertie whilst I was away on holiday.  It was very good to have the initial meet and greet opportunity for all of us, and completely set my mind at ease, knowing that Bertie would be well cared for within a family home.  Kath and Tony are a very caring couple, who enjoyed having Bertie and kept me updated regularly during his stay with them.

From my very first meet with them and seeing how loving they were with Mylo I knew they were a match! Mylo settled in wonderfully with them and they kept us updated about his days.

Lis listened carefully, asked perceptive questions demonstrating her knowledge of Spaniels, and was totally professional and caring throughout. During her stay, Holly settled quickly, proving that she was very happy to be with Lis.

Barney was 6 months when we went on holiday; it was the first time we had left him for any significant period of time and the thought of leaving him at a kennels seemed far too harsh. We came cross PetStay and loved the idea of Barney staying in someone’s home, someone who would treat him as their own. We were delighted with PetStay from start to finish; they are professional, caring and provide a real home from home although Barney was still overjoyed to see us shen we picked him up.

Hi just wanted to send a quick message to say how happy we were with our first pet stay experience

Kath and Tony were lovely and welcoming and they gave us updates throughout our holiday as to how the girls were settling. This was the first time we have ever left with anyone other than family for a day or two.

We will definitely be using PetStay for our future holidays.

The whole process was really smooth and easy for us and for Milly and Coco. They have come home today very happy and content still.

Thanks again

This was my first time away from my puppy after getting her during lockdown and the entire experience was flawless. Jane was really great and matched me with the perfect home at such short notice, which I really appreciated. She also took into consideration the various needs of my dog before finding the right home, ensuring the transition was seamless. David was utterly fabulous! His dog Edward is an absolute dream and so sweet – he welcomed my (very energetic) puppy into his home and even shared his beloved toy pigs with her. I received updates numerous times a day, including pictures and videos which made me feel so much happier and far more relaxed whilst I was away. I’m chuffed I’ve found a trusting home for my dog whenever I’m away. I’ll always go to David now, he was everything you want in a pet holiday home. Thank you to Jane, David and of course the lovely Edward!

We found the whole process of organising care for our young dog, Lola, to be very professional from start to finish. You are asked lots of questions about your dog, so they can get an understanding of their needs and behaviour and then match you with the most suitable carer for them. The process is straightforward and you get an opportunity to meet your dog’s Carer in advance of their stay, which gives everyone the chance to get to know each other and make sure that all parties are happy to progress with the booking. Our Dog stayed with a Carer called Jane, who was very welcoming and genuinely interested in Lola and did everything she could to make sure she had a pleasant stay. We were sent updates by text on how Lola was getting on, along with some photos and a video too. This was so reassuring, as we could see she was relaxed and settled. If you are anxious about leaving your dog, I’d highly recommend PetStay, as they do everything they can to ensure yout dog is well cared for and has a lovely holiday

From the first time of meeting our carers for Milly we felt reassured of leaving Milly in their care. She is a rescue dog and had not been left with someone overnight before. We were kept in touch with photo of said dog while away and knew that she was fine. We would be more than happy to leave her with Helen and family again. We had not been able to give a lot of notice to PetStay of needing a carer so thankyou also for finding us the absolute right couple so quickly

Christine

We have just used PetStay (Leics & Rutland) for the second time, with the same carers. They are great. Our dog Lucy is very people friendly but dislikes other dogs so kennels are not possible. PetStay is a perfect solution and so much better. She was so well cared for with people who genuinely cared for and about her. It makes such a difference to go away knowing our dog is safe and happy.

Yvonne is excellent looks after Rocky like a baby. Would’nt send him to anybody else, he’s happy and settled. She spoils him, Yvonne and Pa are his second mum and dad, he has been four times and he is going twice next year. Thank you for looking after my little man.

I just wanted to say how much I appreciated Richard looking after the girls last week, I could tell they’d had a good time and were well looked after. I have never seen them as relaxed as they have been before, Richard was definitely a good influence on them and I have told him to.  I have no issues about asking Richard again if we are lucky enough to get the chance.

Petstay is brilliant. I have a rescue dog who would have been greatly distressed to go into kennels during our holiday. So for her to stay with people in their home was just perfect. The couple were lovely and cared for her as I would. Makes for a relaxing break. I will use PetStay again and I highly recommend them.

Thoroughly recommend PetStay. From point of contact to the dogs coming home happy. We have now used them several times and would not go anywhere else. The dogs thrive when staying at their home from home holiday.

5-star review of PetStay:
PetStay stepped in when our previous carer wasn’t available and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Both our dogs Molly and Alfie were well cared for by Richard. It was great to get photos of them during our week away. We’ll be using PetStay again for our dog boarding.

PetStay is an amazing company and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dogs!

I have used PetStay for a total of four years and every experience has been a great one. My two dogs have stayed with Mick & Sue, Tony & Kath and Amy who have all been fantastic. They keep to my dogs routines, shower them with lots of love and attention and keep me reguarly updated with text’s and photos. My dogs are always happy to see me but never want to say good bye at the end of their stay. PetStay is a fantastic company with amazing doggy-sitters who i genuinely believe do this for the love of dogs. Jane has also been very helpful and sorted carers out for me last minute many times. 100% would recommend!!!

I have used PetStay for the last 5 years for my three dogs. They have been to a few different couples throughout this time and each time I have received an outstanding service. The booking process is very easy and Jane is more than helpful. Every couple who have looked after my dogs are friendly, welcoming and go above and beyond to accommodate their needs. They give me the peace of mind whilst holidaying with regular texts and photos. Worth every penny – Excellent company 100% would recommend to anyone thinking of booking with PetStay.

I would like to say that Amanda and her family were truly amazing at caring for our 7 month old puppy Rusty. She sent lots of updates by photo and video which was very reassuring, particularly as we had not left him before. Rusty has a wonderful time with the whole family and we  would have no hesitation in leaving him with them again. Amanda went the extra mile in asking how Rusty was on his return home and even gave me a mother’s day card from him !!  Rusty is already booked in with them again in June but we will unfortunately to see what the next few months brings. Booking is very easy, with valuable advice also being provided.

I hope your business continues to prosper through difficult times.

A big thank you to Jean and Peter who cared for my dog Polly beautifully last weekend. Endless ball-throwing and lots of cuddles in a relaxed and happy home – I appreciated the updates by text to let me know Polly was getting on well and she was happy and relaxed on my return.   I will definitely use PetStay again if the need arises.

This was our first experience with PetStay, and it certainly will not be our last. Friends act as PetStay hosts so we had some idea of what to expect. The whole process went very smoothly. Brodie enjoyed her new home and we enjoyed peace of mind. We even received a photograph of Brodie while we were away. Chris and John clearly love dogs and made Brodie welcome straight away. I am absolutely certain that we will be booking Brodie’s second home for her and our next holiday! –

Chris was a new sitter for a different dog. Just as before we had various meetings to make sure everyone was happy. The visit was a huge success with our dog happy and calm when we returned from our trip. As he was a rescue dog with us as his 3rd owner (at least) we wondered how he would react, but he was obviously very happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.

I have used PetStay on many occasions with complete satisfaction. Jane at PetStay is very prompt responding to messages and I feel very confident with the Carers that she finds for my shin tzu Darls. Darls has recently had a week with Amanda and her family, I was very impressed with Amanda’s attention to detail with completing and checking all of the documentation that we needed to complete. I felt completely reassured on the first meeting with Amanda that Darls would be looked after like a little lady just as she is at home. Amanda sent me regular updates and photos of Darls and I could see that she had settled very well with Ananda and her family. I would have no hesitation in Darls staying with Amanda again. Very very happy customer thank you to Petstay for providing such an amazing service.

Jane has placed Pie with various carers over the last few years and all have been a very good match for her. Most recently Pie stayed with Yvonne and Peter for nearly 2 weeks. Yvonne kept me up to date with messages and photos of Pie enjoying her holiday. Yvonne was also very insightful to pick up on Pie’s many characteristics. When it came to the end of her holiday, Pie was happy to see me but also appeared comfortable where she was, relaxing on the couch while we chatted and got all her things together. She came home a relaxed, well exercised, happy dog. Leanne

Recently our six year old Cocker Spaniel Lucy stayed with Yvonne and Peter. They are really loving and responsive to Lucy who has recently lost her companion Jackie who has also stayed with them in the past. Lucy always comes home full of life when she stays with any of the local carers and I would recommend all the carers we have used. PetStay is a great asset to us and Jane the organiser is a truly helpful person. Thank you PetStay.

Pheobe and Lottie stayed with John and Jacqui for the third time, it’s like their second home, on arrival they were pleased to John and Jacqui, it’s nice to have your dogs stay with someone they love and you know they are going to have a good time and they are in a safe environment. John and Jacqui pack all their toys and stuff away ready for when we arrive to pick them up, Lottie always gets into the toys and takes one out and hides it so john finds it after we have gone (think it’s John Really) so they can see them again. Thanks to John and Jacqui.

Would highly recommend Jane at PetStay. My enquiries are always dealt with promptly. I am completely confident that my pooch is booked in. Richard is a wonderful home boarder. He is always available by text for a message or two whilst we are on holiday which gives us great peace of mind. Our dog gets regular walks and has come home better trained at sitting at kerbs and waiting for his dinner by his bowl. Would definitely recommend him anytime.

Sasha appeared to thoroughly enjoy her home stay with John and Jacqui and by the look of the lovely photo she managed to find her way onto a bed! Sasha is a little reserved with people new to her but I had no doubts about her settling in when she spontaneously jumped up onto John’s lap. So very much better than the isolation of kennels. Many thanks  Marion

‘I have been very fortunate with my PetStay carers who Jamie and Alfie have stayed with since 2014 so I have continuity for the boys and me also as my PetStay carers I count as my friends and they have a home from home environment…in fact the boys get more comfort and attention than they do at home with me ! And the cost is absolutely comparative with any kennel prices in fact for what you get – warmth love and security and care and one to one attention the cost is amazing value!’

‘It was the first time using PetStay for my two dogs Lolo and Freddy. I felt worried about leaving them with two people they didn’t really know. I went and met Jacqui and John with them before my holiday and they were so welcoming and could tell straight away how experienced they were. The dogs felt at home straight away. It reassured me instantly. Jacqui checked in with me through my holiday with updates and pictures which was great! I can’t thank Jacqui and John enough! Lolo and Freddy had a great time with them and really treated them like their own. I didn’t think Freddy wanted to leave. I would highly recommend them and wouldn’t use anyone else now. Thank you PetStay.!!’

‘I cannot thank PetStay enough. Our usual dog-sitter had a family emergency and was unable to care for our dog as planned. I was starting to get stressed but after a brief chat with Jane, she found us a wonderful sitter for our dog, Yanto. Ann was amazing and her love of dogs is so apparent that I knew I need not worry whilst on holiday. Yanto was so well cared for and Ann was brilliant sending us text messages and keeping us informed. Ann was the perfect choice for our boy and I would like to thank both Ann and Jane for their fantastic service.’

“Rolo our 1.5yr old Cockapoo has been staying with Penny & Steve for just over a year now and he absolutely loves it. He has had two lengthy stays and an overnight and every time, he races to the front door, knowing where he is going, so I guess he likes going! Penny takes such good care of Rolo and I can go on holiday, relaxed, knowing he is in the safest of hands. She takes him on long walks, rides in the car and he loves exploring her garden (and house) and finding things that had been forgotten. Penny calls it ‘being busy’. I call it being mischievious! Penny send me regular updates and photos of his adventures which my Daughter loves receiving. Recently he stayed and needed some medication giving and a wound keeping an eye on and Penny took excellent care of him and the vet was really pleased when we returned for a check up. Thanks Penny.”

The service is more personal and gives me peace of mind knowing my dogs are being cared for and kept in their own routine rather than sending them to a kennel.

Our two dogs were relaxed and comfortable on the pre-visit. We were very comfortable leaving them with Angela and her family, as they were very good with them.

We are very happy with the care they received and would definitely use them again.

This demonstrates that I am very happy with the PetStay services, and I would definitely recommend them.

I thought I would just send a quick email after Willow’s recent stay with John and Carol. They are a lovely couple who did their utmost to show us that Willow would be well looked after at ‘Frisby Towers’! They sent a picture and a witty message every day and gave us a thorough report when we picked her up. This is the first time we have left 2 year old Willow with anyone and we were not at all anxious leaving her with them. We would obviously like to book Willow in with them again in the future. We knew they were not going to leave her in the house by herself and they found her to be ‘no trouble at all’ so Willow will be very happy to go back to them.

Bracken our 8 year old Chocolate Labrador has just returned from her third stay with Amanda and her lovely family. PetStay offer a great service, after a short phone call with Jane we were matched with carer Amanda who lives just a 30 minute drive from us. From the first initial meeting it was clear that a perfect match had been found. Amanda spent time chatting with us to find out all about Bracken, her daily routine and getting to know our beautiful girl. We left Bracken for the first time a few weeks later completely confident she was in safe hands. We received daily text messages and photographs that reassured us that Bracken was having just as much fun at her holiday home as we were on our holidays. Bracken is always happy to go to stay , in fact she races to the door when we arrive and often a little reluctant to leave. I definitely think she gets lots of love and attention when she’s there. I would definitely recommend PetStay to all dog owners.

Due to our circumstances we are unable to book too far in advance and we found that both carers are wonderful. We used Maria in May as Iain and Denise we’re booked. Ozzy was very well looked after in both homes. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave our hungry, food orientated huge boy with either of these lovely people again. Ozzy was in an excellent condition when we picked him up both times and we are so grateful that we have found such lovely people to leave our big boy with. ”

On the day we dropped Missy off for her holidays she was relaxed and didn’t even worry that we had left, she was well looked after and received plenty of attention, Barry even sent us a message and a photo which made us relax and enjoy our holiday.

“I can definitely recommend PetStay to anyone who wants to leave their dog with people who will treat them as their own pet for the duration of your holiday. From my initial enquiry with Jane, the whole process was very easy and professional. My 9 month old Lab/Collie cross, Max, and I went to meet Barry at his house before the holiday dates and filled in all the relevant paperwork. This meant that Max had already met Barry and been in his house so would be more relaxed when we left him there. On the drop off day, Max was very happy to be there so I felt comfortable leaving him and was able to enjoy our holiday fully. Barry kept me updated on how he was doing and sent a couple of photos too. At pick up he gave me some feedback on how Max had been and also said he would be happy to have him again, which is great to know!Really happy to have found PetStay and will definitely use their service (and hopefully Barry!) again.

We were sent updates which put us at ease which was great particularly as we had gone away to get married. Knowing Macy was happy and settled allowed us not to worry. When we returned, Chris gave us an update on how Macy had been and it was clear she had looked after her. We will definitely be using Chris again and would highly recommend this service to our friends and family! ”

We recently found ourselves in a situation when our elderly relative could no longer care for our 7 year old chocolate labrador whilst we on holiday, we were desperate to find a solution as we were concerned Bracken wouldnt be suited to staying in Kennels.
We stumbled across PetStay on the internet and after reading the information website and speaking to Jane we knew Petstay was the perfect solution.
We visited Amanda and her family with Bracken prior to her first stay
and immediately knew that Jane had found a perfect match and Bracken would love her “holiday home”.
Bracken has just returned from her second stay with Amanda and her family and we couldnt be happier with the way they have welcomed Bracken into their home and cared for her as if she were their own.
They are a lovely family and its nice to see they enjoy looking after her.
The service to find a suitable carer by Jane is second to none and Little touches like text messages and pics sent during her stay are really reassuring to us. On a whole the service is excellent , value for money and highly recommended.

They kindly recommended and then collected a new bed for him, which he loves ( so far he hasn’t chewed this one) thank you. He has maintained his weight all week which is fantastic as he normally does lose some, so I know he has been happy. Many thanks again and we hope to see you both next year.

Penny keeps him very occupied and sends me pics of his adventures along with updates on what he has been up to (or in to!). Although we missed him, I never worried about him as I know he is happy there and is very well looked after.

Cass had a wonderful time, yet again with Angie.  She is so happy when she is staying with her and her family and I couldn’t recommend Angie enough. She is very attentive to Cassie’s needs and we feel very happy leaving Cassie with her, knowing that she will be taken care of and given lots of love.

 Whilst we were away it was Cassie’s first birthday and Angie sent pictures and videos of her special day and we could see how much she was having a fantastic time. She is going to stay with Angie in February, and we know she will enjoy it and we have no concerns whatsoever about her.

We think Angie is brilliant in understanding Cassie’s needs and we always feel very happy leaving Cassie with her. When we drop Cassie off at her home, she runs to her and runs around like it is her home.

Cassie has a lot of energy and Angie ensures that she is given lots of play and exercise. She is given lots of cuddles and attention and Angie sends me regular updates and photos so I can see how much she was enjoying herself. She is going to have another holiday with Angie again in January and February, which I am sure she will really enjoy.

We had no concerns whatsoever about her, because we knew that she is safe, secure and well cared for.

Duke and Lady had a wonderful time (again) with Uncle Peter. When we dropped them off at his home, they ran to him as if they remembered him from July. We think Duke is a ‘challenge’ at times, but Peter took it all in his stride! Thank you Uncle Peter –  Pauline and Mark Staveley – Fleckney

He is so happy when he is with them, like home from home. I couldn’t recommend Yvonne and Peter enough, such lovely people. Jane was brilliant to in understanding ours and Marshalls needs to. We feel 100% confident in leaving Marshall, and we know he will be a happy dog with his tail wagging. Thank you so much Elaine, Lee, Braden, and Tia and of course Marshall, woof, woof”.

Boo seemed to have been very happy with Barry and his wife, in fact other than saying a brief hello to us when we went to pick him up he was still charging around the garden and in no rush to leave 😀.  Thank you for all your help in finding a great home for Boo to stay, we are now really comfortable that while we are away in a couple of weeks we know Boo will be taken care of really well and given loads of exercise.  Many thanks to yourself, Barry and his wife for everything and we know we will be using Petstay for all any breaks we have in future.

My dog Alfie had a lovely time staying with Maria and her family for 2 weeks in October. He was given lots of cuddles and attention and was taken for some good long walks which he enjoys.

Professional and caring service from all involved, far better than standard kennels and the dogs stay in a home environment and effectively become adopted pets for the duration of their stay with care and home comforts. Only way we would leave our dogs now. Thanks to Jane at Pet Stay and Caroline who had Lola and Monty. Lovely to receive a picture of the dogs while we were away too.  Thanks.

I have used PetStay a total of three times now for Alfie and Darla and I have never been disappointed. I received pupdates every day which gave me a great peace of mind knowing they were safe, happy and having fun. I have found using PetStay is so much more personal than putting my dogs in a kennels. My dogs are not often left on their own for more than a few hours as they come to work with me, so having someone who could dedicate a lot of time, love and attention to them is perfect. I love that they personalise your dogs stay by following your routine and instructions, which is not a service you necessarily get with kennels. I would 100% recommend this service to anyone. It is well worth the money. I’ve used PetStay every time since my mum recommended the company to me two years ago and I will be using them every time I go away in the future.

Our Bedlington has stayed again with Chris and John. He treats their home like his second home and he loves them both. He rushes in to greet them when we arrive. When we come to collect Bertie, he is always happy , healthy and busy with his toys. We can go away without worries because we know that Chris and John will provide all the care that Bertie needs – and they can cope with his stubborn ways too! We hope we can always use Chris and John,s services in the future, ”

We have been using Petstay for several years now. Every time we leave Lotti and Willa, our two German Short Haired Pointers, with Peter we can tell that they are very happy to stay with him and his own Labrador Beth. They always settle in very well and we know that they are very well looked after. Peter takes them for long walks and we are more than happy that he keeps them on their leads as they are strong hunting dogs. Peter even buys them tennis balls to play with in his garden. It’s a real home from home for them and we can relax on holiday knowing they are safe and happy.

Thank you so much Amanda for looking after my mums dog Dottie when we took mum on holiday. Dottie is a rescue dog that mum adopted last year. She is about 11 years old and is petrified of other dogs (we don’t know what her history is) We couldn’t bear to put her in kennels and she would have been so anxious.
As soon as we went to visit Amanda we knew Dottie would be well looked after. In fact she seemed to enjoy her stay so much when we went to collect her she seemed reluctant to leave ;-))).
Thanks so so much Amanda. We will definitely use PetStay the next time we take mum away.

We met with Penny after making contact via Petstay. My dog, Rocky, took an instant liking to her, was very relaxed and we felt very confident leaving Rocky with her.
We took Rocky to stay with Penny on the 24th August until 3rd September and initially he was very excitable as he always is when we leave him anywhere. I messaged Penny on a regular basis to get updates back to ensure he wasn’t fretting too much and causing any problems. Penny replied back every time ensuring us that Rocky was settling in fine. We collected him on the 3rd September and he was very happy and relaxed when we got him home. Am so happy that we have found PetStay and we are due to go away again shortly, knowing that Rocky is being cared for just like we care for him, gives us complete peace of mind. Have recommended PetStay to a lot of my family and friends.

Brilliant service, Charlie (Cocker Spaniel) loves going to his second home with Yvonne and Peter. They are a fantastic couple and their love
of dogs shines through. They are kind, caring, show empathy and i feel they genuinely love having Charlie. Charlie has been a few times now
and I just hope they don’t get booked up next time we want a holiday. They go out of their way to make his stay so nice.
Jane got us the perfect match and all credit to her too. She listened to everything about Charlie and what we wanted.
All the legal bits and bobs are taken care of and its such a brilliant service to look after your
beloved pets.
Its such a huge weight of my mind that Charlie is being looked after so well whilst we are away.

This is the second time we have used Petstay but the first time with Angela, has we have moved area

I can honestly say myself and my partner are over the moon with the care given to Macey whilst we were away

Not only did she receive so much love and care we were also given regular updates and photographs showing her enjoying her holiday also

We will not have any hesitation recommending PetStay or Angela in the future and will be booking Macey’s next stay whilst we are on our honeymoon next year

Once again thank you

I was very anxious as Cassie is a nervous dog and needs time to get comfortable with new people and locations. However, I should not have worried, Cassie soon settled in with the Johnsons and even let Steve put her harness on after a short period of time, she has always been more nervous of men. Both Diana and Steve listened to my concerns and took them on board, and hence there were no problems. I was so relieved when we collected her that she had had obviously enjoyed her time there and they had enjoyed having her. Therefore please may I book Cassie’s 2019 holiday.

Just to say that our two were spoilt, loved and looked after fabulously by all the Petstay carers they have stayed with, including their lovely long weekend with Kath and Tony, and wonderful week-long stay with John and Carol.

You could tell Rosie had an excellent connection with John. Being deaf, she needs a lot of interaction, sign language and facial interaction – and you could see she was following John’s every move and face movement. She was totally relaxed and happy with John. Lovely to see. However poor John and Carol didn’t get a moment to themselves it seems .. with two 23kg lap-dogs!

There are just some people who have an extraordinary knack with dogs – and John certainly does. John’s texts and photos – written from the dogs to mum – were so touching and funny too! Had us in stitches!

Both Kath & Tony and Carol & John seemed to really enjoy having them stay, and said they’d happily have to stay again

We’d be very happy for them to stay will all the carers they’ve stayed with to date. Wonderful people! And the dogs will be very happy to stay with them again I am more than sure.

PetStay is certainly The home to home stay for my dog Darls; she is my love and I need for us both to be happy when I leave her with the carers. The two carers Debbie and Hilarie have been so lovely and clearly they have loved Darls as much as me, which means a lot and reassures me she is being looked after so so well. Jane at PetStay is very efficient and always gives an exceptional service. Thank you

Petstay was recommended to me by my sister, who uses Petstay carers in the West Midlands.
Right from the initial contact with you I was very pleased with the prompt and efficient response to my enquiry. I was very unsure about placing Chip in substitute care as he has normally joins us on holiday and is unused to being looked after by anyone other than family.
I appreciated the impression that there is a level of matching between the dog concerned and potential carers, and was lucky that for the dates concerned there appeared to be a couple of choices available.

The introductory/planning meeting with Jacqui went extremely well and I felt completely reassured that the proposed arrangement would be right for Chip. When we first arrived for the initial meeting, Jacqui was kind and friendly towards Chip but didn’t overwhelm him with attention, she simply let him take a look round the house and garden, and within a short while he was happily lying underneath her kitchen table as if he belonged there! My husband and I felt that Jacqui combined a kind and friendly approach towards us and Chip with being efficient and very well informed about all the practical details and information needed to be able to care for him on our behalf.
When Chip went for his holiday at John’s and Jacqui’s, he received a lovely, reassuring welcome from both carers and it was clear to me that he was going to be in very safe and caring hands during his stay. It was very helpful to be able to take all his familiar items of food, bedding, toys, etc., to help him to settle in. A very nice little touch was Jacqui asking me to include an item from home so that Chip would have a familiar scent to reassure him if needed!
Jacqui kindly sent text and email messages to let us know how Chip had settled and was progressing, and this was much appreciated.
When I arrived to collect Chip he had clearly had a great time at John and Jacqui’s and they gave lovely feedback about his stay.

This was an excellent care arrangement for my Westie and I felt very lucky that Chip had been able to stay with Jacqui and John. I felt that they ‘read’ Chip really well and I think that they enjoyed having him to look after. Also, I am very impressed with the level of information required to support the arrangement as this reassures me that all concerned have all the necessary information to support Chip’s care.

A huge thank you!

We have used Pet stay before but this was the first time Charlie stayed with Angie and her family. He settled in immediately and was very well looked after.

Once again Monty had a great time with Sally our pet sitter. After the 2 day sulk when he come back to us which is usual, As he misses Sally’s children.
He came back so fit and well I would recommend Sally to anyone except to say we need her to take care of Monty when we are away !! . Before we went on holiday our vet advised us that Monty needed to lose a few pounds ( he is a black Labrador eating machine). When we returned we had him weighed and he had lost about 2 pounds. Sally took on board our vets advice and we are now well on our way with his new fitness regime.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Petstay. If Monty could talk he would agree.

Our beautiful little Pippa (2 year old Yorkshire Terrier) had a lovely long weekend with Mick and Sue. Over the last year we have used PetStay as an alternative to kennels. Pippa is quite a shy and anxious dog who requires a lot of love and attention. PetStay has really helped us feel comfortable leaving her when we need to go away. I would highly recommend Mick and Sue to anyone with a small dog who is of a similar nature and is most comfortable in a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Not only did they send us daily updates of Pippa’s stay through messages and photos, but when we picked Pippa up she was such a happy little doggie. Knowing that she was having a good time allowed us to enjoy our long weekend and relax.

We have used PetStay on a few occasions now for our Shetland Sheepdogs Millie and Jake and must say we are more than happy with the care they received from their carers Hilarie and most recently Sarah. PetStay is a brilliant alternative to kennels as the dogs are less stressed and live in a home environment which is perfect…! Hilarie and Sarah went out of their way to ensure that Millie and Jake were happy and content. We got regular photos and texts to let us know how they were and what they were up to as they knew how we worry. When we picked them up after the holiday they were happy and not stressed in any way which was lovely to see. The service from the initial enquiry, meeting the carer and booking the dates you need was very simple. Jane ensures that all you requirements are met and matches you with the most suitable carer. Give PetStay a try – your dog will thank you for making a brilliant choice…!

“Pete and I would just like to say that the pet carer Chris was absolutely superb in the way she not only looked after the welfare of our beloved dog Busta the staffy, pictured above, but the peace of mind of the soppy doggy owners i.e. us lol.
She knew we would be worrying because although in excellent health, he is 12 and an old boy with puppy qualities.
Chris sent texts to us giving updates on him and how he was coping, playing, eating,resting etc. This made our time away from him so much more enjoyable knowing that not only was he being loved he was giving love back. This is something only happy dogs will do which said everything to us. Plus ,and this was important to us, when we picked him up he was relaxed and happy and bouncy as when we left him which means he did not feel at all stressed whilst under her care.
Chris is a lovely, friendly lady who knows just what it takes to make a dogs time away from its family as idyllic as it can be and as reassuring for the doggy mum & dad . Would we use her again you can bet you last bonio we would.

The service, from my initial phone call to PetStay through to meeting Barry and Arnold’s stay with him was fantastic. Barry was friendly and welcoming and Arnold took to him straight away. We were completely happy to leave Arnold for the weekend and he had a fabulous time staying at their home, with a lovely rear garden to play in and also the lovely walks in the snow drifts and meeting horses and cats along the way. Barry’s dog was also very friendly and laid back with us and Arnold. Thank you so much to PetStay and Barry and his wife. Would recommend totally.”

“I really don’t know where to start with my review of Darcy’s stay with Angela. One word sums it up….WOW!

If Darcy could talk she would be telling us what a fabulous time she had, we honestly believe that her holiday was better than ours!

It was the little things that blew us away with Darcy’s stay, Angela had really put herself in our position, understanding just how to put our mind at rest that Darcy was having a lot of love and being well cared for while we were away. We had regular emails giving us updates on what Darcy had been up to. The emails contained photos and a short video of Darcy showing how happy she was.

Our journey home was delayed due to the bad weather so I contacted Angie to explain and she assured us that everything was ok their end and not to worry about the delay.

The real cherry on the cake was when we got to pick Darcy up, Angie and her family had prepared a gift for us. It contained a photo album of Darcy’s stay along with a little ceramic bone saying ‘Life is better with a dog’. It bought tears to my eyes! When we left I honestly believed that Angie and her family were really going to miss our little girl.

Just a couple more things to say, we will never book another holiday without first checking with you and Angie that she is free to have Darcy. We would not consider any one else. Also, something that concerns me just a little, I wonder if Darcy has such a good time at Angie’s, she won’t want to come home! 😊

So it’s a 10 out of 10 from Darcy and us and if I could score more I would.

Well done Pet Stay and well done and lots of love and Darcy hugs to Angie and family, Darcy’s lovely new holiday family!”

“Just  to say how pleased we were with Amy and her husband’s care of our dogs during their first stay with them.

You very kindly recommended Amy to us when Carol and John in Frisby (usual carers) were sadly unavailable for the dates we required.

When we arrived to pick them up, both dogs were fast asleep, snoring contently and Buddie (cocker spaniel) was on Amy’s husband’s lap where apparently he had spent most of his indoor time! Despite the fact that the week we had been away the “Beast from the East” had thrown the most dire weather at you all, my dogs had continued to be walked twice a day in the most foul of conditions and had very obviously been cuddled and adored for the rest of the time!

I like to think I always send them on their “hols” clean and tidy but they came home looking like they could both enter Crufts and their beds were spotless! They were so tired for a few days after so much attention, love and exercise that they slept more than usual and didn’t appear to have missed us much at all……

I’m so happy that they are booked in again there the first week of May and I have been recommending Amy (and Petstay) to all the dog walkers I meet.

Thank you for matching us up. Amy lives literally a three minute drive away and is the most friendly and approachable person who clearly loves dogs. She listens very carefully to what we tell her about our dogs routine and appears to have followed it to the letter.”

Maisie had a lovely time and I will definitely be using PetStay in future, and hopefully Hillary and Peter if they are available.

I can honestly say after meeting Diana and Steve that I didn’t have any concerns about our puppy Heston staying with them, while we went on holiday, I had been really concerned that he would have to go into kennels but them someone recommended PetStay to me. He had a wonderful time and was very content during his stay, they sent regular text messages to update me and when we came back from our holiday they had printed pictures of him. You could tell they had given him a lot of cuddles and attention, they even tried him on some different biscuits, which I might add he loves. We will certainly be using them again as I know how much Heston adored them both. Thank you to you both.

Ronnie really enjoyed his latest stay with Peter. Leaving him is really hard but we know that he will be well looked after. Couldn’t bear to put him in a kennel and knowing he is in a home from home means we can enjoy our holiday

We were really pleased with the service offered by PetStay. Our assigned career was Maria and prior to our stay we visited so that Maria could meet Bruce and Bruce Maria. This also gave us the opportunity to run through his usual routine, which includes the daily intake of tablets. During his stay we got a couple of pictures so we could see how happy he was! I would definitely recommend this service and use again.

We will be using her again –

Thank you so much for putting me in touch with Debbie and her family.
They are a lovely family and Suzie had a wonderful time. It was just like home from home for her and we will definitely use your services again.
Suzi settled in with them immediately which made us really happy.

Lucy and Jackie stayed with Yvonne over the New Year Period and came home almost reluctantly. They had a good time and we were so glad to have such good care for them, especially as Jackie is now getting older and in need of care and attention which she received from Yvonne along with a loving environment.
Jane was excellent in her choice for our dogs and made us feel well cared for. She is conscientious and efficient a very good administrator. Thank you Jane and Yvonne.

Left our Eddie, our almost 9 year old Labrador with Nick with a peace in my mind. Everything I asked was understood and I felt that my wishes respected. I am sure he had a great time while we were spending Christmas abroad.
It really made a big difference to us that we knew Eddie will have a good time too….
Thank you!

Peggy spent 5 nights with Jane over Christmas and I couldn’t have wanted anyone more caring or able to look after her. After I met Jane at our first meeting I knew Peggy would be fine. She’s only 9 months old, and can be a naughty pup but Jane seemed to manage her. She understood westies and handled everything Peggy came up with!
Jane sent me texts emails and pictures and videos of Peggy’s stay which were lovely and reassuring to receive. I’ll certainly use PetStay again for Peggy’s holidays and would be very happy if Jane is available to be her carer again.

My dog Rolo had a wonderful time with Kaye. She messaged with any questions and kept me informed of his stay with regular messages and photos- he was perfectly happy to be left with her, and I felt absolutely happy that he was having a great time and being really well looked after as part of her family!! So important to know that they are in safe hands when you are away….

Perfect Stay with Peter
What can a say! What a sigh of relief….. finally found the perfect person to look after our doggies!
A huge Thank You to Peter (and Beth the lab) for letting both bouncy Poppy and Roxy to stay for a weekend!
We had constant updates from Peter and the dogs came back chilled and relaxed! I don’t think they wanted to come home!
They had walks with lots of ball throwing and were allowed to treat peters as if it was their own home!

Thanks again Peter!

Pheobe & Lottie enjoyed their stay with Jacqui & John so much they weren’t to bothered about coming home, We took them back for a visit the week after because Lottie had left her toy behind (on purpose I think) and they just ran in as if the place was their own. Will definitely use them again for our next holiday.

Thank you so much – it’s easy to see how well you look after him and how much you like him. We think he is missing you both.
He’s been out again in the snow and yet another bath was required!
Thank you again for taking such good care of him
All the best.

Sally from PetStay
Monty our black lab is so well cared for by Sally and family he sulks for 2 days after his visits, because he wants to go back. We have no doubt that Sally really is a good carer, she quickly got to know Monty and his habits. She updates us whilst we are away.

Two very happy hounds (and humans)
Our deaf dog Rosie and her son Pegasus had a wonderful first stay with Mark – a tester long weekend for both parties! Dogs and humans seemed very happy with the arrangement and our two obviously adored Mark and loved their walks. Great to receive a photo of our two enjoying the snow!

Charlie, We had a fantastic match with carers Yvonne and Peter, They are such a lovely, genuine relaxed couple who love dogs and made sure Charlie felt very welcome in their home. Charlie was happy and I was happy to leave him knowing all his needs were being met in a safe, secure and loving home, they knew his likes and dislikes and continued with his ‘home’ routine,
What a great find, I thoroughly recommend PetStay. Thank you so much Jane – Until next time

Tilly has now stayed with Kaye twice. I know Kaye treats Tilly like her own dog while she is with her. She is well exercised loved and spoilt rotten, which i love as well. Kaye is great at keeping me up to date with what Tilly’s doing and how she is. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a good dog sitter. My only reservation is that i don’t want Kaye so booked up that i can’t get Tilly in with her when i need someone.

I left my boys with a lovely couple Diana and Steve in Ellistown they were very well looked after and would leave them again with these lovely people who loved my dogs as if they were their own, they have been very spoiled thanks woof woof
Rascal and Biggles

FANTASTIC
We have used PetStay 4 times now, our French Bulldog always stays with Mick & Sue. We couldn’t wish for a more caring couple to look after our dog while we’re away. Nothing is too much trouble and he’s made to feel at home, it really is a second home for him. If we couldn’t leave Ron with Mick & Sue we wouldn’t leave him at all. 5 stars !!

Just got back from holiday and collected Mimi from Jan yesterday. Just wanted to say that we are really happy with the service you provide and that Jan was lovely and Mimi loved her. It was much better for us to know that she was staying with someone in their home and was being part of their family. We would have no hesitation recommending your service to anyone. After meeting Jan with Mimi for a couple of times I felt happy to leave her with Jan whilst we were on holiday and knew that she would be well looked after and it was like home from home for her. Thank you once again.

Just a short note to say how pleased we were for the kind and caring service provided by the Sharp family.

We were delighted to receive photo updates during our holiday and Winnie seems to have settled in with them quickly.

We’d be more than happy for her to stay there again in the future.

Thanks again for providing an excellent service – we’ll be back!

Our little Bedlington is a nervous dog who can be stubborn about anything different in his routine. So we were worried about leaving him whilst we had a few days away in York. He stayed with Chris and John and had a wonderful time, we need not have been concerned at all! Thanks to both Chris and John he loved his stay with them and came home full of confidence and bounce. We would certainly use their hospitality again and can recommend PetStay,s organisation and support of our request.

We were absolutely delighted with the service provided by PetStay for our 8 1/2 month old Labrador, George. From the outset you were incredibly efficient at setting up a meeting with our PetStay family, Yvonne and Peter. They had been fully briefed by you and had all the necessary paperwork to hand at our first meeting. They are a truly delightful, caring and very capable couple which meant that my husband and I could enjoy our holiday knowing that George was being well looked after. George returned home last Sunday a very happy puppy – he clearly enjoyed all the fuss and attention during his PetStay holiday!

Thank you again. You run a terrific service and we will certainly be using you again.

I was delighted with the care given to Coco and Pippin during their recent stay with Diana and Steve. It was the first time Coco and Pippin stayed with Diana and they obviously settled in very quickly and were very much ‘at home’ when I collected them.
I would be very happy to leave the boys with Diana again.

October 2017

This was the first time we had used PetStay and all worked out ok. After the first night Barrie sent a text to say that Belle was fine, had eaten her dinner and breakfast and did not disturb the household during the night. I was reassured that she was ok.

October 2017

I would like to say how very happy I was with the service. The minute we first walked into Maria’s house Roly was completely happy and relaxed and bonded well with Maria. I had no worries about leaving him there. Maria sent me some lovely photos, which I am quite happy for her to pass on to you if she wishes. Roly seemed completely at home will all the family and even took to her husband which surprised me.

I have been very reluctant to leave Roly with anyone in the past but was overjoyed at how it worked out and definitely hope to be able to again.

PetStay have lived up to their high reputation again. Thanks to Jane Elson for co-ordinating the bookings and for her efficient communication and organisation all of which is very much appreciated. Thanks too for the carer’s, Chris and John and Anne and Bill who have looked after Dylan for me whilst I have away. It is with huge confidence that I am able to leave Dylan who is 11 1/2 years old and has been blind for all but the first two years of his life. Knowing that his special needs are well catered for and that he is being looked after by people who genuinely look forward to having him stay is a big relief. Cannot thank them enough or speak too highly of PetStay. Many thanks again from me and from Dylan.

September 2017

Just a quick note to say thanks for everything, Lola and Monty had a great stay with Caroline and we have already recommended Pet Stay to friends and family. We will definitely be in contact again and hopefully we can get them with Caroline again.

Thankyou and please thank Caroline again for us, it made leaving the dogs stress free.

September 2017

I was very happy with the care given to Milo while we were at a family wedding recently. It was the first time he had stayed with anyone other than family, so I was a bit concerned at first. Ann was lovely and Milo took to her quickly. She only lives a short walk away from us so that was very convenient. She kept us updated on both nights of his stay and I was amazed that he had been sitting on her lap while they watched the TV! I hope we will be able to use PetStay in the future and I would have no problems in recommending it.

September 2017

I was anxious the first time I left Tyler & Bailey but I was updated regularly to ease my mind. I’ve used PetStay for almost 2 years now and wouldn’t use any other company. My dogs are always well looked after and rarely want to leave the carers they’ve stayed with, which is always a good sign. Thank you 🙂

August 2017

Another lovely holiday
My dog Daisy has enjoyed a second lovely holiday with Andy and Ella. They are obviously very caring and loved having her and I was relaxed in the knowledge that Daisy would be happy with them. Much preferable to staying in kennels.
A big thank you.

August 2017

Fabulous
So reassuring to have left Milo with Caroline, she is obviously very fond of and comfortable around dogs and she completely understood and accepted Milo’s likes and dislikes.
Thank You so much for this wonderful service.

Just wanted to drop you line to say Kaye was excellent with pwee and reassured me every day pwee was ok. i will be using Kaye again in future if she is available with your company. Thank you again

August 2017

Poppy really was well looked after by Sally and her family and we are really pleased we found Pet stay on the web. Thank you for all your help, it really did help us to relax on holiday knowing that poppy was being well looked after.
We have not decided what we are doing next year yet, but if we go abroad we will be in touch hopefully with Poppy staying at Sally’s house again.

August 2017

Perfect match
Ann was the perfect carer for Pie, my 11 year old fox terrier. Ann sent me updates on how she was and when I fetched Pie the next day Pie appeared quite at home 🙂

August 2017

This is a great service providing home from home pet care. We’ve used it a couple of times now for Gromit and both hosts were lovely and looked after our dog superbly. I would recommend this instead of kennels any time and would happily use PetStay for all holidays where we cannot take him with us.

August 2017

Just what I was looking for for my 10 year old rescue Lurcher, Bingley. I’m already booked with PetStay for another 2 occasions this year. Real peace of mind & great value. Highly recommend!

August 2017

PetStay Perfect!
Chris and John looked after Evie for a weekend through an introduction made by Leicestershire Petstay. First time leaving her but left with a light heart as knew she’d be very well looked after and she was! Fabulous experience with a professional company.

August 2017

We would like to thankyou for introducing us to John & Carol of Frisby on the Wreake. And a special big thankyou to both of them for taking care of our furbabies. We know that they were very well looked after with daily updates including photos from them. They took onboard all the info i provided with regards to the dogs routines & food, especially with Wally and him being a British bulldog. They are both very nice people who instantly show that they are doggy people & our furbabies were vey much relaxed & felt at home from the very first minute of meeting them.
I would definatly recommend them and most certainly will be requesting them for our annual holiday next year.
Thanks very much Abby & family x

August 2017

Excellent service and lovely carers for our dog Ziggie. Will definitely use again in the future.

July 2017

This was the first time that Bernie, 21 month old Cocker Spaniel, has been away from family and we were a little worked how he would settle. He can be yappy so we were concerned if this would worsen in kennels. However, although Kath and Tony met up with him prior to the booked dates to check that he and they would bond. I left him with them for an hour because he was initially anxious, but when I returned he was ok. So when I took him, along with his familiar bedding etc., on his first day, he still wanted me to stop around, but they knew exactly how to comfort him, which was to take him for a good old “sniffy” walk. Apparently after that, he settled in fine and even slept through each night peacefully. When I collected him three days later, he was his usual happy self and had clearly grown very fond of his new friends.

Josie
July 2017

Just to let you know Finn had a lovely stay with Tracey. I was slightly worried because we changed carer this year. I wondered if he would be stressed but I needn’t have worried. Tracey did a fantastic job sending me photos and keeping me informed, will definitely be booking with you next year.

July 2017

I just wanted to let you know that Chris in Anstey has looked after Joycie as planned and I couldn’t praise her highly enough. She is certainly a dog lover and did wonders with Joycie who as you know was from a rescue centre and nervous of others. She took to Chris almost immediately and she provided me with reports during my holiday which helped me to settle also. This is the first time that Joycie has been minded and I was pleasantly shocked that she was so settled with Chris. This was evident on my return as I’m sure that Joycie would have been quite content to stay with her!! Would definitely recommend your service and Chris. A lovely, caring lady with a warm and welcoming home. 👍😀

July 2017

Henry on his holiday with this lovely family. He was so happy and chilled that I was able to relax and enjoy my holiday . This was our first experience with petstay and I’ll be using them every time I go away on holiday . Thank you to Sally, Josh, Sam and Amber for taking such care of Henryxx

July 2017

My first time using PetStay. I went away at short notice and thanks to Jane she found Harry the perfect place to stay. Peter made Harry and I feel very welcome. I felt very reassured that he was going to have a fabulous time with Peter and his beloved Bethany. He made sure that Harry’s daily routine was followed and Harry soon settled in so much so when I left I don’t think Harry batted an eyelid!!! At the end of my holiday when I collected Harry, he was very happy and contented and the handover was efficient and smooth. I know that Harry enjoyed his time with Peter and Bethany and I would not hesitate in requesting Harry to stay there again. He was cared for above and beyond. Thank you Peter and Jane at PetStay. I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing that Harry was being cared for in an excellent environment by Peter.

July 2017

To our dog “Kai”, Petstay is like staying at the house of a friend or family with a garden, room to play, potter about, have a tea time stroll and relax in a sunny spot and is a real home from home.

To us Petstay is well organised, with a website that’s easy to use, good communication, and a good system in place to provide the best service for our pet. To us It’s a comforting thought, but not something our dog will ever need to know…..

Petstay….. The only real option for our dog.

The usual carer for my dog Daisy wasn’t available but luckily another carer was. Daisy had a lovely holiday with Andy and Ella while we enjoyed ours. She settled at their home very quickly and was quite relaxed when we collected her. It was obvious that she had enjoyed her stay and been well looked after. Andy kept me informed by text to put me at ease. Thank you Andy and Ella. Daisy is looking forward to staying with you again very soon.

Ruth
July 2017

I cannot fault Pet stay the organisation was fantastic. But most importantly our dog Harry was really happy with his carers Mick and Sue who looked after him really well. A nice touch was regular texts from Sue while we were away letting us know how Harry was getting on. Would definitely recommend Pet Stay.

Fiona
July 2017

Our boy Wilf spent a week with John and carol, and absolutely loved it.
It was the perfect home from home for him.
Wilfred has Epilepsy, so finding a settled environment for him was so important, as well as carers who were willing to give him his meds and deal with him possibly having a seizure.
Thankfully Wilfred didn’t, probably because he was so happy and relaxed with John and carol.
I received daily updates and photos, which was so reassuring.
I can’t thank them enough and Wilf can’t wait to go back!?

Clare
July 2017

Kaye and family have wholeheartedly welcomed Willow, our Cockerpoo, into their home and nothing is too much trouble for them to make her stay comfortable. Willow is happy and confident in their care which is testament to the relationship Kaye and family have developed with her. Great full thanks to Kaye that we can go away on holiday with no worries or concerns.

July 2017

I have been using PetStay now for quite a few years and it is an amazing service. My Golden Retriever either stays with Maria or Nick and I am thrilled with how wonderfully they look after Belle who, unfortunately has pancreatitis, which is not a big problem as long as her diet is followed and her medications are given. Belle is very relaxed and happy with both careers and I can therefore leave her with absolutely no worries whatsoever. Thank you so much PetStay !,

Pat
July 2017

Fantastic service
I have used PetStay on a couple of occasions and I am completely satisfied with the service they provide I can go on holiday knowing that my dog Jackson a staffy is well looked after in a home from home environment , the carers go above and beyond to ensure the dogs are well looked after I have already told people that want their dogs to go to a home from home and I will keep spreading the word again I can’t thank this service enough I am completely at ease when leaving him so thankyou for providing this service

July 2017

I have been very delighted with the sensible care and attention given to Dexter whilst being in Portugal. Dexter was slightly unwell one evening and he was probably looked after better than I could. Kath and Tony were calm and very professional dealing with the situation. Highly recommended.

Sue
July 2017

Sophie & Louie had a great time staying with Tracey & John, they went on lots of lovely walks, many thanks…

June 2017

Just wanted to say thank you for arranging Peter to look after Nala for us while we were away for the night he was amazing with her and she has had the best time how do I write I review for you on your website.

We will be sure to arrange through you again next time we need to go anywhere. Again. Thank you so much

June 2017

I would not hesitate leaving Cookie with Richard again, he is a very experienced dog owner and i have complete confidence in his dog handling. Richard made a great step dad for our dog whilst we holidayed abroad.
Cookie settled in well from day one and as you may know made a friend in Guess, Richards youngest dog.
Communication with Richard was excellent throughout which meant i could enjoy my holiday properly.

Please thank him again for us and when i need a dog sitter i will be back in touch through Pet Stay,

June 2017

Anne and Bill were lovely and I know that my dog, Bella was well cared for whilst staying with them. I would definitely be using them again and would highly recommend them.

June 2017

I used petstay while I was on holiday in India for 3 weeks.

Thank you for looking after Tammy! Will definitely use petstay again

I would recommend petstay to anyone who is looking for a holiday for thier pet.

June 2017

We had a lovely time thanks and more importantly, so did Millie and Jake.
Hilarie and Pete did an excellent job looking after them. They were so relaxed and chilled out when we picked them up- it was so lovely to see!
I will sort out our holiday date for next May (2018) soon. I think you already said Hilarie is free.
I have already told friends and family about Petstay. We are more than impressed!

June 2017

We were so nervous to leave Buddy for a week whilst we went away to Turkey however we needn’t have been! John and Carol were absolutely magnificent and treated Buddy like one of the family. They kept us up to date with messages and pictures and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thankyou so much and Buddy looks forward to visiting again!

June 2017

We would just like to say a huge thank you to Pet Stay and in particular Bev and Alan who looked after our wonderful Cockapoo, Archie. As I was a bit of a woose with the whole thing Bev and Alan were kind enough to let us have a couple of visits before we left Archie which was a huge help for me. Archie had a great time he went on lots of walks and even had a dip in the water at the Water Park!
I would thoroughly recommend Pet Stay and Bev and Alan and would not hesitate in using them again.

I would like to say very best words about Jan. She is wonderful woman and love what she is doing.
My two dogs Rembo and Taja were in very good hands and they had great holidays with Jan.
Thank You so much for service what You are doing. In future we definitely will use it again
Me and my husband are very grateful to You and carer Jan.

May 2017

I was very pleased and comfortable with dolly’s carer having previously met her before her stay. On the day I dropped her off I got the chance to meet all of the family including the children and at once was put at ease with their friendliness towards Dolly.

I stayed for a little while and got to know all of the family and immediately Dolly was very comfortable in her surroundings and went off to play. There was no anxiety on my part about leaving her with this family as I believe that she was in the safest of hands and therefore could enjoy my time away from her without any worry.

I just wanted to say thanks for sorting this carer out for us for our vacation and please pass my thanks on to the family as well for their time patience and care.
In regards to recommendation, I have no hesitation in recommending this family and your company to all of my friends and family Who have pets as in my opinion it is an invaluable service.

April 2017

Would just like to thank Bev and Alan for looking after our two small yorkies Maisie and Lilly so well. Really pleased we found Pet Stay. We have only left the girls with family before but this is the next best thing in some ways it’s better.
Bev and Alan were lovely they let us know how the girls were getting on they had a lovely time. Looking forward to our next holiday abroad.

Dear John & Jaqui, Thank you so much for having me at the weekend, I had a lovely time and hopefully I will get to stay with you again sometime… if you will have me. Lots of woof Milly

March 2017

We had a lovely break thanks and so did Poppy and Buddy. They were both really happy to see Amber again and for us it’s very reassuring to know that they are settled and so well looked after while we are away. We will be booking again soon.

February 2017

We are so impressed with Pet Stay. Our 7 month old Agnes Rose our beautiful West Highland Terrier stayed with Chris and John in Oakham. It was Agnes Roses first stay away from us and I was very anxious about her stay. We had the opportunity to meet Chris and John before our holiday which really helped put me at ease…they were so lovely with Agnes, we felt instantly put at ease. During her stay she slept with them in their bedroom at night as she settled better that way, I was so impressed with that! She also had three showers (Agnes is a bit of a digger!) using Chris’s shampoo…that made us smile! Agnes had a wonderful time, we could not wish for more caring people to care for our precious Agnes, Thank you so much, we will be booking with Jane in the next couple of weeks for Agnes to stay again with the lovely Chris and John, love Fiona Nigel and Agnes Rose xxx

January 2017

We were happy with petstay. We left our Labrador Max with nick who looked after Max so well and Max was very happy to stay with him and so were we. We would leave Max again and highly recommend. Much better than leaving our dog in a kennel. Thankyou very much. Would highly recommend.

January 2017

Tyler and Bailey loved their stay with Bev & Alan. They had lots of attention and came back as happy as ever. I definitely feel much more confident in leaving my boys now as I know they’ll be well looked after.

December 2016

We can tell that Bert obviously had a brilliant time at Fiona’s. Bert has stayed with other people before, but I can honestly say that Bert has never come back so happy, balanced and healthy as he has from Fiona’s. Fiona and her wonderful family truly treat Bert as if he is one of their family. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you all for the amazing service that you provide

December 2016

Nick is a lovely person so we would just like to say
Nick is a great carer for our Labradoddle Ruby, both Nick and his dog Mr Riley ensure Ruby has a great time with lots of walks which she loves. We enjoy our holidays knowing she is being looked after so well and he sends photos and text which is always welcome

Just a quick message to say that we were really pleased with the care our two dogs received with Nina. They obviously had a lovely time. Nina kindly sent us photos which was really lovely to receive.
Just want to say we would be happy to recommend Pet Stay and particularly Nina to others.
Once again thank you

We had a fabulous holiday, it has been hectic since we got back, however, I now finally have the time to say that once again we were delighted with Cleo and Buddie’s care whilst at the newly enlarged “Frisby Towers”!!
We will be starting to plan further holidays/breaks in the near future so no doubt will be in touch very soon to book John and Carol again (hopefully )
Kind regards,
Paula and Fausto Lallo

I honestly couldn’t begin to tell you just how amazing John and Carol are. They kept us informed throughout her stay and Bella was so happy to be with them.
I have told a lot of people about Pet Stay and what a really impressive set up it is with fabulous people like john and Carol to look after our much loved dogs. – Mandy & Bella

Thanks for getting in touch and yes we had a lovely time in Rome.
We are full of praise for Jenny (and Brian) in terms of how they care for Dylan. They have welcomed him (and us) into their family and we could not wish for better people to entrust the care of Dylan to when we are away.
Have attached some more pictures of Dylan for you.
Thanks again for being a lifeline in terms of taking the stress away from being away on occasions when we are not able to take Dylan with us.

Kody has so much fun on her pet stay holidays. She adores Nick and Riley and we always recommend your services to people with dogs.

Belle would like to thank Caroline for her wonderful holiday whilst we were away celebrating my birthday. I’ve never left her with a carer before and hated the thought of kennels. Within an hour of us leaving her, Caroline had messaged me to let me know Belle had been out for a walk and was relaxing on the sofa which made me feel much better. When we came to collect her I wasn’t sure if she wanted to come home with us, she looked to be having too much fun. Thank you again Caroline, we will definitely use you again and I can’t recommend PetStay enough.

Following my dogs’ recent “proper” stay with Carol and John at “Frisby Towers” (after an initial night’s dummy run!)
They are without a doubt, two of the most lovely, genuine, caring people I have ever met and are both true dog lovers.
Both of them went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that my dogs settled in easily and quickly and stuck to their routines. They had obviously taken the greatest of care looking after Cleo and Buddie as not only did they return home in tip top condition with glossy groomed coats, bright eyes and VERY waggy tails but when chatting to Carol and John I could tell they already knew my dogs’ personalities/quirks etc very well !
John sends hilarious, daily texts re their wellbeing and their adventures which make me laugh out loud.
I am very happy to send Bud and Clee again to “Frisby Towers “ this October (as booked already ) and no doubt many times in the near future.
I feel that you have struck gold with John and Carol as carers. I’m already thinking of them as a Nan and Grandad for my doggies!! Unfortunately they seem to be doing the job so well that they are booked up for many dates already!!!
Thanks to you for recommending them, they are doing a wonderful job for your company.

August 2016

We had a lovely holiday and Nina sent us regular updates throughout the two weeks. Pixie was so happy and content when we collected her. PetStay is definitely the best way of caring for pets when on holiday. We could not have wished for a better carer than Nina.

I was tweeting too on holiday saying what a wonderful time Pixie was having and mentioning PetStay (Pixie has nearly 500 followers)

Thanks again

Hi Jane,
We were so pleased that you found Caroline for Ida. She is absolutely ideal. I think Ida was spoilt rotten. When we dropped her off she rushed into the house as if she owned the place and shot straight into the garden without even saying goodbye. We were a bit miffed but very reassured that Ida felt at home. She’d obviously been very well looked after and Caroline said she’d love to have her again.
We haven’t planned any holidays without Ida at the moment. We’re going to the boat at the weekend but Ida is coming with us. So are the grandchildren. (do you have any carers who take children?)
I don’t know if Caroline took any photos of Ida enjoying herself but we could stick a photo that we already have on your site.
If we do need someone to look after Ida again we will definitely use Petstay.

Once again Briea was extremely well looked after by Linda & Ron, you can see that she feels very much at home as soon as she gets there ! Thanks again.

I’m pleased to say that my little dog was well looked after by PetStay carer while I was away. I will happily refer Pet Stay to my friends and family! I will definitely contact them if I have any other holidays booked.
Thank you PetStay!

Home from our hols to sunny Madeira and look who we’ve just collected from his very own holiday home, all bright eyed and bushy tailed!! ? Thank you to George’s carer Peter and his pooch Beth, for looking after our chocolate boy so well. By all accounts, George’s holiday home is so much more fun than his own, given the texts we’ve received during our holiday! Thank you so much to PetStay Leics for providing such a fab service!

July 2016

Bought a motorhome because we don’t like leaving the dogs at kennels, but now we have discovered Petstay, and wonderful local carer Stephanie, it means we can go abroad and know that Sheba & Daisy are having a lovely holiday too. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

July 2016

I just wanted to say how pleased we’ve been with Steph! She is lovely and we knew they were going to be absolutely fine with her which helped us have a more relaxed holiday!
We only tend to have 1 holiday a year, however, I will definitely be in touch in the future and would definitely like to use Steph! Can’t recommend her enough, so thank you so much!

July 2016

??Thank you PetStay ,Fudge had a holiday with One of your carers and her dog . She did all the naughty things she does at home and was still made to feel very welcome,she was walked and entertained,and even given some chicken when she wouldn’t eat . A fantastic home and environment for her to stay within ,whilst I was away. ??

To be able, with peace of mind and leave Milo our 9 month old Cockerpoo in the safe and loving hands of Chris Osbourne was a huge relief, you could not fault PetStay for care and service.
We now have him home with no negative reactions, unlike being encarserated in a non contact kennel.
Chris Osbourne is the perfect carer for our Milo, thank you all for your care and kindness.
