Welcome to PetStay Huddersfield and Halifax and Barnsley, my name is Lauren and I’m here to help local dog owners find a loving and caring alternative to kennels, whilst they enjoy their much-deserved holidays. Our carers will provide that home from home for your beloved friend and treat your dog like their own.

Having been a carer for many years prior to running my own team at PetStay, I understand the importance of finding the perfect holiday home for your beloved pets and that you need peace of mind that they are in the safest of hands

We are licensed and insured to take care of your dog while you are away. Our experienced carers are very carefully selected, meeting the strict criteria set out by Defra and the local authority, and only the most suitable people will be approved to become PetStay carers.

At PetStay we know from experience that your dog will be happier and more settled in their own daily routine, it is my job to find the carer that will be able to most suit your dog’s needs. Any stay will be exclusive to your dog, we never mix dogs from different households and our guest dogs are always walked on the lead.

I will arrange a no obligation meeting for you and your dog to visit your potential carer, so you will see the home and garden your dog will holiday in and you can discuss all elements of the stay.

We will provide a “holiday list” of essentials to be packed to make your dog’s holiday the most comfortable and stress free as possible, such as toys, food, bedding and not forgetting their favourite treats. Our carers will provide the love, the hugs and cuddles.

Please contact me, if you would like to find the perfect holiday home for your precious pet or if you have any questions regarding our service.

I’d also love to hear from you if you would be interested in joining our team of lovely carers where you can take care of dogs in your own home.

Frequently Asked Questions about becoming a PetStay Carer

What are the requirements of becoming a carer?

You must be a genuine dog lover, have experience of looking after dogs and you need to be home during the day so you have plenty of time to give to the dogs you are caring for. You must have a secure garden and agree to abide by PetStay guidelines. You are allowed to have a dog of your own as long as your dog gets on with other dogs.

How are your carers vetted?

If you meet all the requirements listed above, we will come and visit you at your home. We will check the security of the garden, explain PetStay procedures and show you the guidelines each carer needs to follow. If you are happy with everything and we feel you would make a suitable PetStay carer, we would follow up a reference and arrange public liability insurance for you.

How many dogs can I look after?

Our service is on a one-to-one basis, so only dogs from the same household will stay with you. You are allowed to take up to three dogs from the same household, BUT you choose what you are happy with. We will ask you how many dogs you would like to look after and what sized dog/s you would be happy to care for.

Do I have to provide the food?

No, the owner will bring any food or treats for the duration of the stay. Any toys, bedding, medication and leads will also be brought.

Does the dog/s have to be vaccinated?

Yes each dog MUST have up to date vaccinations, have been wormed and treated for fleas. Proof of the vaccinations will be brought to the meeting and shown to you.

What about walking the dogs?

All dogs should be taken out each day for walks. When you have your meeting with the owners all routines, including the number and length of walks, will be discussed. The dog is only ever walked on a lead.

What if the dog becomes ill?

We/you would endeavour to contact the owner or the emergency contact. The owner or the emergency contact would be liable for any expenses incurred in taking the dog to the vet.

Will I be paid?

You will receive a daily allowance starting from £16 per day.

What happens next?

If you are interested in becoming a carer, please ring us for an informal chat and ask any questions or email us with your details and we will come back to you. You can also use the contact form on the ‘contact us’ tab. If we feel you are suitable we would then arrange to visit you at home.

Our Reviews

We would never leave Winston with just anyone, we’re very protective parents!   He’s our fifth golden retriever and three out of five have been cared for via PetStay (since 2009).   We’ve booked via Lauren for quite some time now.  Once again, we’ve experienced speedy responses to enquiries relating to availability, had great communication with our carer, and most of all, have had peace of mind that our dog Winston was receiving the best care and attention.

Moose

Moose had a fantastic stay with Ann last weekend, it couldn’t have gone better. We were a little cautious at first, because Moose is still only a puppy, but we needn’t have worried, he took to Ann and her family straight away. Ann was brilliant with him from our first visit and she sent us videos and pictures while we were away. You obviously placed us with the ideal carer and would be only too happy to re-book the next time we’re away.

Kevin and Tracy are amazing we wouldn’t leave Lyla with anyone else They are kind caring people who you can tell enjoy looking after your fur babies It’s all we want is to go on holiday and know that our girl is going to be ok with them … she will always be our main priority and leaving her with Kevin and Tracy means that we can go away and know that she is in the safest of hands I can’t recommend PetStay enough everything is sorted out for you and you are given all the information you need to make your dogs stay perfect

Our 13-month-old Labrador, Poppy, had a great three-day stay with Nicky in Huddersfield. Nicky was a brilliant host and informed us on how Poppy had settled in and what she was doing. I would happily leave Poppy with Nicky in the future and would not have found her without PetStay, which provided an easy-to-use and reliable means of finding a great holiday home for our dog.

This was Willow’s second stay with Marie. It is a home from home in fact she gets better looked after there…. She wandered straight in when we dropped her off, no looking back 😊 Marie sends photos of Willow and let’s us know she is ok. We are very happy and pleased we found PetStay and Marie.

Just wanted to say thank you for organising Tillie’s short break with Sue in Huddersfield and thank you to Sue for looking after her so well. Sue was a really friendly lady who gave Tillie the best care while I was away (which included managing a difficult food obsession ! ) and sent me updates which were good to have. I would certainly recommend Sue and hope to book with you again in the future. Thank you again.

I cannot rate PetStay highly enough. When l first contacted PetStay, Lauren could not have been more professional, helpful and receptive. She found the lovely Kevin and Tracy to care for our anxious rescue dog and he has stayed with them a good few times now. They are wonderful with him catering to his little quirks and idiosyncrasies and ensuring that he is relaxed and happy throughout his stay. They could not be more welcoming and accommodating and he settles quickly whenever he visits. The peace of mind this brings is immeasurable.
Thank you PetStay 😊

We have used PetStay on a number of different occasions over the past few years. In this time we have had different carers look after Ernie depending on availability and we have never been disappointed. This year Ernie stayed with Shaun for the first time and as it was a longer stay for three weeks I was a bit anxious. I needn’t have worried, Shaun kept us up to date with Ernie’s adventures and it was clear to see straight away that Ernie had his paws firmly under the table! When we collected Ernie I could tell he had built a great bond with Shaun and I genuinely felt that Shaun had enjoyed the time he had spent with Ernie. Thanks again to Lauren for organising the stay and a massive thanks to Shaun for looking after our boy so well. 🙂

First time we’ve used PetStay and will definitely use again. PetStay were really professional and found the perfect host for our dogs. Having an introductory meeting before we made the booking was really reassuring; made leaving them with the host so much easier. Regular updates and photos from the host were great. When we collected them it was obvious that they’re had a great time and been really well looked after.

Buddy

This is the first time our Papillon, Buddy, has stayed with anybody other than family.  Marie and her family were very welcoming and we had two visits to their home prior to his stay with them.  He was well looked after, settled in well – a real “home from home”.  Marie sent us pictures & update while we were away.  We would have no hesitation in leaving Buddy with her again in the future and highly recommend PetStay.

Kind regards.

This was our first time leaving our pet Labrador with someone else. Sue and Les were fantastic with him and kept us up to date with how he was doing across the week. They kept to our crazy routine, even making his scrambled eggs at night ! He had a great time and we will definitely use the service again.

Picked Marley up this morning and just wanted to say thankyou so much for arranging his care with Barry & Lynda.  It is clear that he has been so well looked after and cared for and he seemed completely underwhelmed to be back home !!  He seems to have been really happy there and I am so grateful to Barry & Lynda for looking after him so well, it is really appreciated as I know he is a young dog and does have his quirks.  Thanks once again for your understanding and finding such suitable care for him.

Many thanks

We have found PetStay (Lauren) to be very organised, professional, and a pleasure to deal with. Her carers have always been of the best quality and have looked after our dogs extremely well. Trish and John who currently care for our Chihuahua and Yorkie are amazing. They go above and beyond anything we expected and love our dogs like their own. We feel lucky that Milo and Pebbles can stay with them

Nicola

We have used PetStay (Huddersfield branch) a number of times and can honestly say that the service, carers and overall experience has been wonderful. I am really fussy dog owner and wouldn’t leave my dogs at all if I could avoid it – however each time they have stayed with Kathryn and Jason I have felt reassured and relaxed that they will be having a great time and their own holiday.

Despite having reservations on leaving my new dog, I was completely reassured that she was in good hands. Avril has the experience and skill in looking after dogs from all kinds of backgrounds with specific needs. I have no doubts about using her again when required. Thank you.

This was the second time we have used PetStay and the first time with Sharon. I’m happy to say that Evie had a great time and obviously settled well with Sharon as evidenced by the lovely photo pupdates we received and the happy, waggy tail on our return. We would have no hesitation in using PetStay and Sharon’s services again in the future.

Pepper had a great stay with Averil. She seemed happy and content and loves the one to one care. Hopefully next holiday she will get to stay with Averil again as we were more than happy with her care.

Le

Once again my Sammy had the most wonderful stay with Averil. He just loves going there for his holiday. The minute he walks in he gives Averil a great big fuss and can’t wait to go for his first walk with her. I 100% recommend PetStay to anyone wanting to leave their dog whilst on holiday. It’s great to know that he is well cared for and looked after so well. It seems like it’s now from home to home for him. He loves being the only dog there too, getting all the attention.

PetStay is fantastic I didn’t want my little doggie staying in kennels, so I googled people who look after pets at home. I picked PetStay they are great Lauren explained everything to me from start to finish. I met my pet carer Anne Marie my doggie took to her like a duck to water. I dropped my doggie off for 10 days I was sent pics daily while on holiday which made me feel at ease Anne Marie was great. My doggie has come back better behaved i know i couldn’t believe it, when I took her for a walk instead of barking at the local doggies which is so embarrassing, she socialises with them instead fantastic. The stay with Anne Marie was so beneficial for her to socialise with other dogs. Absolutely fantastic service thanks Anne Marie and PetStay

Roxy and Dexter were excited to see Chris and Mike which is always a good sign, and they went running into their house with tails wagging. They were settled and well looked after whilst we were away. They are lovely people and obviously love dogs.

I am sending a review on Harper’s recent stay with Sue and Les . I cannot praise them enough. Harper had a fantastic time they are amazing people kept sending me regular updates and photos. Harper kept trying to get back in their house to play with toys when I went to pick her up . As this is my second time she has stayed with them she ran straight into the house when we arrived for lots of cuddles and loves . I would definitely recommend Sue and Les and would only take Harper to them. 5 stars is not enough they are brilliant thanks

I was very impressed with the whole process of booking with PetStay. It was all arranged very smoothly and efficiently and the details taken meant the carers had all the information they needed to ensure the stay went without any problems. Thank you! I want to give Christine and Mike five plus stars! They were amazing and looked after Jill in an exceptionally kind and caring way. She is a 16 year old dog with age related health problems and they gave her the best care possible. Please pass on my grateful thanks to them. It made my holiday far more relaxing knowing Jill was being so well cared for. I would recommend PetStay and Mike and Christine to anyone looking for excellent care for their dog while they are away and will definitely book with you again in the future. Thank you.

Lauren has been looking after our reactive Labrador with allergies for over 4 years now, Jakey just come back from a 2 week stay and has absolutely love his time with Lauren and family. There is no better feeling knowing that your dog is in safe hands whilst you’re away! As our dog has allergies he needs daily medication and extra care Lauren tended to all his needs and has not shied away yet the list of jobs from ear washes and to back rubs! We are always so grateful

September 2023

After much thought, research and deliberation, I booked my two darling dogs into dog boarding via PetStay. I wanted them to be able to stay at a home where they could have free range to wander and no other dogs staying over. After dealing with Lauren of PetStay directly, I was able to have all my requirements fulfilled. My “girls” had three nights with a lovely dog carer and I have them booked in for more sleepovers over the next 12 months. 5 Star Service.

Can’t recommend this company enough. I needed a sitter at quite short notice and Lauren went over and above to help me. Fixed a meet and greet quickly despite both her and the sitter due to go on holiday. Karen (the sitter) was lovely and Bruno and I were very happy. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Pat

September 2023

It is easy to book through PetStay. I rang Lauren, the local area manager, describe my dogs needs and dates required. Lauren matches my dog, Oscar, with a dog sitter. We meet before the stay to make sure everyone gets on. During the stay I received messages from the sitters and felt immediately that Oscar was being well looked after. Oscar has now stayed with Kevin and Tracy three times and he has two future bookings already booked in.

From start to finish PetStay are brilliant. Finding a match for our dog at very short notice, arranging a meet and greet and the boarding all went very smoothly. My dog is my baby and I don’t leave her with anyone but I’ve used two boarders now with PetStay and they have both been amazing.

It was a lovely experience to leave our Sammy with lovely Averil. Sammy truly enjoyed his stay and I’m sure she treated him with lots of treats and lots of cuddles. I know that Sammy was happy and very safe in the care of Averil. It’s great for him to be cared for on his own and not have other dogs in the same house during the stay like with other dog sitters. Sammy is looking forward to staying again in September. Thank you Lauren for letting us get to know Averil, she was just brilliant!!! I would recommend PetStay to anyone who wanted piece of mind while they are away on holiday, knowing their dog is cared for by trustworthy people who take time in loving the dogs they look after.

NellyNelly

Katherine and Jason took brilliant care of our dog, Nelly. We received regular updates and photos so we knew how she was getting on, and Katherine suggested some really helpful things we could do to help Nelly settle in on her arrival.  Whilst we were away, Nelly got a wasp sting and they took her to the vets straightaway (at night) and kept a close eye on her for us through the night to make sure she was ok. When we picked Nelly up after our holiday, she was clearly so happy in her surroundings. She came to say a quick hello to us and then laid back down in her bed! If I’m honest, I think she’s a bit sad that her little holiday with Katherine and Jason is over!  I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. They took care of Nelly like their own and it made for a really relaxing holiday.

Thanks for all your help.

GracieGracie

It was the second time we’d used Lauren to sort out a stay for Gracie. Lauren had been so helpful sorting things out the first time that I felt confident.  Gracie had been to stay with Sue before and thankfully she was available so we already knew she’d be well looked after. Gracie was quite nervous when she arrived to stay but Sue reassured me that she’d soon settle and we went away for a couple of weeks knowing that she’d be in good care. When I went to pick her up Gracie was excited to see me for a few minutes, then Rosie (Sue’s dog) came to join us, I was ignored and they immediately started playing together. It was so lovely to see (despite me being ignored!) and confirmation that Gracie had had as much fun staying with Sue as we’d had on holiday! Sue took such good care of Gracie; Lauren did a great job of organising; and, I’d definitely recommend PetStay to anyone needing a ‘home from home’ for their treasured dog.

This is the first time we’ve left our husky, Indi, with anyone other than family. After meeting Shaun any doubts we felt were silenced, knowing Indi was going to be in good hands. Shaun took excellent care of him, so much so that Indi was reluctant to leave after the 2 weeks were up! We can’t thank Shaun enough and would not hesitate to use him again. PetStay, you should be proud to have Shaun as an employee.

Lauren was friendly and helpful from start to finish. She matched us up with the perfect pet sitter. Averil was the ideal person to look after my Ruby, and gave me the confidence to know I was leaving my pampered pooch in capable hands. I would definitely recommend Averil. I would recommend PetStay to help you find the right sitter.

We’ve asked Lauren for help in finding us a carer for our dogs (was two, now only one) on a number of occasions.  Each time, she’s been really helpful, finding us fantastic carers for our much loved Golden Retriever(s).   Winston  – the one with the waggy tail – makes out he doesn’t like being away from home but each time we’ve left him – most recently with Barry & Lynda, and Krystyna – he’s settled well.  When we pick him up, he’s obviously been well cared for – exercised, fed, entertained and kept clean.  That’s no mean feat when we’ve left him in Winter!    I have recommended PetStay to a number of people who ask about kennels and home boarding.  Hopefully not so many times that we can’t find availability when we next need a reliable and safe care option for Winston.

Knuckles was clearly very happy with Mavis and settled immediately. Her natural intuition and spirit clearly equips her well as a dog boarder.  Nothing was too much trouble and she is totally focused on the dog’s wellbeing.  She kept in touch with me over the three days and that allowed me to focus on what I was doing.  I will absolutely be booking with Mavis again.

Roxxie is a German Shepherd rescue and at 18 months old, we became her fifth owner. Going away without her was always going to be a challenge as we didn’t wish her to feel as if she was being passed on again. PetStay put us in touch with Shaun, one of their carers and we met with him. Roxxie enjoyed an overnight stay with him to see if she would settle. She did settle and she returned a week or so later for 10 days and had a fantastic time. She had Shaun‘s undivided attention. Probably had more walks than she would’ve had at home, and when we picked her up after our holiday she was in great spirits and both Shaun and Roxie showed genuine affection for each other. I wouldn’t hesitate to use PetStay again, but would want Roxxie to be with Shaun.

Oscar hadn’t stayed with anyone for four years, however, from the moment I spoke to Lauren, I knew he would be in good hands. Lauren took all the details of his likes and dislikes and found Kevin and Tracy. Oscar and myself met them before his stay and in minutes he settled down. Whilst I was on holiday, I received a text from Oscar! saying Kevin and Tracy were looking after him and he was behaving, a nice touch. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lauren and her team.

What a fantastic company I can’t speak highly enough of them just great in every way. Excellent communication throughout. Our little lad stayed with Mavis, what can I say but what a lovely great lady. Mavis was so calming and loving with our dog Eric he instantly connected to Mavis which was fantastic to see. I can’t thank Mavis enough for taking such good care our Eric. Thank you PetStay and a special thank you to Mavis. We will definitely be in touch.

From walking through the door at Kevin and Tracy’s I knew they would take good care of Sky, our Staffordshire Bull Terrier. They were just so at ease with her. The attention they gave her even at that initial visit was excellent. I had no hesitation leaving Sky with them. On our return it was clear Sky had been well looked after and had enjoyed her stay. She wasn’t sure whether to show devotion to me or Kevin ! I will definitely be using PetStay in the future.

Sookie

We’ve just picked Sookie up from Gill’s house and I wanted to say what a FANTASTIC carer Gill has been!

She sent me photos or videos every day, she has been incredibly kind, patient and skilled with Sookie (Sookie is new to us this year, so it was a real wrench leaving her with someone else). She is probably the best PetStay carer we have booked ever – although everyone else has been brilliant of course.

Thank you so much for your continued great service, we wouldn’t have any holidays if it weren’t for you and PetStay!

Just picked Nero up from Sandra and Simons.

Looks like he’s had a lovely time with them, he’d certainly made himself at home. I think they enjoyed his company too, he is a bit of a character!

Needless to say I would be very happy taking him back there for another holiday.

Thanks for arranging.

Thank you for looking after Charlie and Chester and your efforts so far. The dogs had a lovely time staying with Barry and Lynda over Christmas. Thank you for being there for us, we are hoping to book a couple of times later in the year. The dogs had a wonderful time, thanks for providing such lovely holiday care it is much appreciated. Lauren you will get your reward in heaven for doing such a good job.

This was my first time using PetStay and I’m happy to say it was a very positive experience. It was simple and straightforward to sign up and pay, and a carer was located very quickly. I was impressed at how thorough the process was despite the speed with which it was conducted and this was all very reassuring. Meeting the carer for the first time allayed many of my concerns – my dog had never boarded elsewhere and so I was somewhat anxious to begin with but her regular Whatsapp updates really put my mind at ease and allowed me to fully enjoy my break away. Many thanks to Lauren and of course the lovely carer.

Tina

January 2022

Once again our two dogs have been well cared for and fussed over. The whole process is so well managed and all the carers we’ve trusted to look after our two big dogs have been lovely. Customer service from Lauren is fantastic. Highly recommended to anyone who loves their pets.

We could not speak more highly of Lauren who organized our home boarding for our two doggies or Maria who looked after them. The process of matching is to Maria was smooth and we had such peace of mind that the dogs were safe and happy having met Maria beforehand. Maria and her husband could not have been kinder or more dog friendly accommodating all of our dogs individual needs during their stay. They were so well looked after that we were able to enjoy our holiday. We will definitely being using Lauren and Maria again in the near future.

We were really happy with Lisa and Ian.  They were really accommodating when I asked if Reg could stay a day earlier than originally booked. And also the service you provide matching Reg to suitable sitters.  Many Thanks.

Buddy

The PetStay experience has been great for our dog and he settled well in this home from home experience. Sue made regular contact and sent photos of him looking very chilled out and obviously happy! He settled well back at home and I am sure he will enjoy his stay again next week. It was really important for us that Buddy was not stressed during his first holiday away from us (he is 5) which is why we chose PetStay. Sue and her family were fantastic and made his experience a happy one!

Ruth

August 2021

Our boy Nanuk stayed with Lauren, Dom and Bertie for 8 days (his first time away from family). Lauren and Dom were wonderful meeting us a few times beforehand and going for walks with the boys before we left him. They made Nanuk feel at home and sent us daily photos and updates while we were away (we were worried he wouldn’t want to come back with us, lol). Nanuk loved Lauren and Dom and their lovely dog Bertie. We will use them again in the future and Nanuk will happily go back to stay, he had a super holiday.

PetStay offer a brilliant service from start to finish. Our Wheaton Terrier Cooper had a weeks stay with Joanne who looked after him brilliantly. We were kept updated throughout the week with photos and texts which definitely put our mind at rest that he was happy. I would definitely recommend PetStay to other dog owners.

Hi Lauren

Daisy

I cannot recommend PetStay enough! We placed our dog Daisy with Lauren and Jez for 5 nights, and I felt completely at ease from the moment I first spoke to Lauren on the phone. The service is professional and inspired confidence right from the start– and Daisy was certainly given a warm welcome when we arrived!! She is a rescue dog with some particular needs, so I always worry slightly when leaving her with someone new, but PetStay make sure that they place the right dog with the right sitter, and that makes all of the difference. Daisy had a whale of a time, was wonderfully cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. It was lovely to receive photos and updates from Lauren over the days — with Daisy very much looking like she had made herself completely at home, and feeling like part of the family! She is looking forward to a return visit

We needed a trustworthy and safe place for Bella while we we’re away so I contacted PetStay after using them years ago.
We were very happy with Ann after meeting her before hand. Bella was very well looked after- walked long walks everyday and very spoilt by all the family. To be honest I think she would have stayed!!  Will defiintely use Ann again

BaileyBailey

We have used PetStay since 2013 for our chocolate Labrador, Bailey. Bailey was a rescue dog, and I was determined I would never put him into kennels when we went away. Every carer we’ve had from PetStay has been brilliant. They make sure his routine is followed, send us regular updates and photos, but most of all they’re kind and loving to Bailey. I feel confident leaving Bailey with PetStay carers, knowing he is in safe hands, especially now he is an old dog who requires a bit more care. Highly recommended.

 Have attached a picture Bev sent me of Bailey at her house.

Thanks for all your help, Lauren,

We have used Petstay for our Pippi’s ‘holidays’ for 3 years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else. She has just come back to us after her stay with Jackie and Ian who looked after her so well I don’t think she wanted to come home. Thank you so much – its so reassuring and important to know she will also have a great time while we are away.

September 2020

PoppyPoppy

Thankyou Petstay for providing an excellent service from my initial enquiry to Lauren right through to picking up Poppy after her weeks stay with Dawn and her family. Lauren was very prompt with communication and informative. Dawn was the perfect choice of carer for looking after Poppy our 6 month old Labradoodle. The only thing I would suggest to Petstay is that carers are encouraged to send pictures and updates of the dogs in their care during their stay to owners. I will definitely use Petstay again and would highly recommend.

I have always been worried about leaving my dog whilst on holiday and have never been completely satisfied – that is until I was recommended and tried Petstay.

The whole process is so thorough, and to meet the carer prior to the stay is so reassuring. Everything is geared around your dog and nothing is too much to ask.

I have been really happy with the care and love my dogs have been shown. The regular updates and photographs are great. I can now leave my dog and be totally confident they are safe and happy.

I would 100% recommend Petstay.

We’ve been using PetStay for 2 years now, and they’re great, really happy with the service and very accommodating. We have an English Pointer, Pointers are lovely dogs but have a lot of energy, they stay pups until they’re about 11, but this hasn’t been a problem for the 2 minders we’ve had for the past 2 years. We’ll continue to use Petstay and were possible I’ve recommended them to friends.

We would like to thank PetStay for a service recently, that exceeded our expectations both in the quality of the organisation and logistics fromLauren at PetStay Huddersfield, Halifax and Barnsley and the quality of the hospitality and care provided by Mandy in Halifax.This was our first time with PetStay but we will not hesitate to leave our precious pooch with PetStay again during a trip in April.

Thank you again, Martyn, Debbie and Casper. 

February 2020

Jack

Just wanted to say a special thank you to you, Trish and John for Jack’s PetStay.

He definitely was looked after brilliantly by Trish and John. It is obvious they have so much experience and love of dogs I cannot praise them enough and also that they put us at ease when leaving Jack for the first time ever with anyone else. So pleased also that a stay could be arranged over the New Year bank holiday.

Would not hesitate to recommend and definitely a very superior and kinder alternative to boarding kennels.

Special thanks again to Trish and John

This is the second time this year we’ve used the services of PetStay and again, we are impressed by the level of service shown to us as clients and more importantly the care given to our two golden retrievers.   The Carer kept me up to date with how well the dogs were settled, behaving, being fussed and groomed.  They have returned to us in tip top condition, not stressed at all (and they don’t like being left).  Thanks so much!

I was really pleased with the care my dogs received and would be more than happy to recommend your service. Thank you so much for putting me in touch with Zoe. She was wonderful. ❤️ I am so grateful to PetStay for finding my pooches a wonderful home for the week whilst I was away. My dogs were so happy and very settled in Zoe’s care. I received regular updates on their well-being and all their needs were more than catered for which was very reassuring. I would definitely use PetStay again and have already recommended it to friends.

Ted

This was my first time using PetStay. After discussion over my requirements and various possibilities, I opted for our chosen carers after a prior visit to them with our dog, Ted. Dropping off made me a little anxious at leaving him with people he had met briefly but concluded I had landed the perfect couple to care for Ted while we were away! Whilst Ted was happy to return home I knew he had been comfortable and well looked after in our absence and won’t hesitate to return. Thank you!!

Elizabeth

Lauren fixed me up with the ideal couple to look after my dog whilst I was on holiday (first one since I got him so I was a little nervous). Wouldn’t hesitate to use this service again should the need arise.

This was the first time we’d left our rescue border collie and were nervous about doing so following losing our beloved dog a year earlier while on holiday. Theo went to stay with John and Sue and their two dogs and long story short he was reluctant to come home! We had frequent updates from Sue and John which we really appreciated and we’d not hesitate to recommend them to look after your dog as if it was one of their own. Thank you for putting our minds at rest see you again soon!

After previously leaving the other dogs we had in kennels and a so called dogs holiday hotel we swore that we would never leave any of our other dogs anywhere again. Then we were put in touch with PetStay who put us in touch with Alan and Joanna who after a home visit we agreed to let them look after Alfie & Luna. They had a fantastic time going for regular walks and all their needs catered for, a weight of our minds and we also received regular updates and photographs. Thank you Alan & Joanna

Thanks.

Daisy our little Shetiepoo Stayed with Joanne of Staincross area Barnsley, from 27th July for 9 nights. She has stayed there before and loves it! It is obvious she is treated like one of the family we couldn’t ask for more. We cannot recommend Joanne enough, it gives great peace of mind to know that your “best friend” is happy having her own little holiday when you go away. The daily messages and the odd photo really helps to give peace of mind.
Thanks Joanne and family!

Molly

We were so pleased and relieved to have found PetStay and in particular Jill and Howard, who did a fantastic job looking after Molly for us.
We were slightly nervous, as she is quite young and we have never left her with anyone at all before, but Jill and Howard soon put our minds at rest sending us photos, videos and updates regularly so we could see Molly was enjoying her time with them.

Molly’s breed (Havanese) is not good at being separated from her humans and it was so important for us to feel totally at ease that she was being looked after by such caring people.

Jill and Howard gave Molly amazing care and it was truly a ‘home from home’ for her and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Bev & John

Peaches

Peaches had a great time recently at Betty & Vince’s. They are a lovely couple, who understood completely Peaches needs and my anxiety at leaving her. She loved exploring the nearby park & the freedom to roam freely in their back garden. She didn’t miss me at all. I would highly recommend Betty & Vince as carers and also Lauren for finding me such a perfect match.

Bertie

Bertie has just spent nearly two weeks with Joanne and Darren. I was anxious about leaving him but I had no need to be. They took Bertie into their family. It was a home from home experience for Bertie, I had daily photos and updates which were fab. I can’t thank Joanne and Darren enough for the care Bertie had whilst with them. I would definitely recommend PetStay and Bertie will be staying again with Joanne and Darren. First class service.

I left my old boy “Chad” (12) with Alan and Tina for a week whilst I went on holiday. They were absolutely brilliant with him, he had a lovely time there. He was relaxed and happy when he got home as usually he gets slightly “doggy depressed” when I leave him, but not this time it was as if I had never been away. I would highly recommend PetStay and will definitely use them again.

Millie had a great time staying with Barry and Lynda, I would definitely recommend them. I couldn’t fault them, Barry even slept on sofa when Millie was unsettled, not many people would do that – so a big “Thank You” to Barry and to Lauren at PetStay. It really does put our minds at rest when we are on holiday knowing Millie’s taken care of. Once again thank you xxxx

I would recommend PetStay. Due to the timing being last minute they helped me find home boarding. I would recommend Sue and Stuart for home boarding in Darton (West Yorkshire) My dog was their first home boarding with this company. I received photos whilst away which I loved and my puppy was really happy x

June 2019

Maisie

I contacted PetStay to help find a home for Maisie while I was on holiday. She’s a rescue dog and can’t go into kennels due to her previous experience. I didn’t need to worry Lauren (PetStay) put me in touch with Les and I knew as soon as Les and Maisie met she would be fine. Les went over and above to look after Maisie, making sure she was well fussed and had plenty of walks. I’d highly recommend Les and PetStay.

We left our dog Marley recently with Gina who works for PetStay. I was worried about Marley as he is 13 and a half and has his problems but as soon as I met Gina she put me at ease. Firstly she is a lovely lady and a true dog lover. You can tell. When Marley stayed she cared for him and looked after him brilliantly and was very understanding. She also messaged me while we were away to tell me Marley had settled in well and not to worry about him, which was so kind of her and put our minds at rest. When we collected Marley we found him happy and settled. If you are dog owners please don’t hesitate to use PetStay. Lauren is brilliant at sorting things and finding the best boarders for your dog, especially Gina.

Alfie stayed with Mandy this last week and I was really happy to see him again, he was so relaxed, and Mandy a very capable dog handler and groomer, with an obvious affection for all dogs. He was well looked after though he has many health problems, and Mandy said she would have him again which is such a relief. I will certainly ask Mandy again and I have to congratulate Petstay and Lauren who is so efficient who make life so much easier for us besotted dog owners.

Rio stayed with Joanna recently. We were highly delighted with both Joanna and Alan’s care of Rio, he had clearly felt very much at home with the family. Whilst he was pleased to see us when we returned, he was clearly content and very chilled out. We received a nice reassuring photo of Rio whilst we were away, which was most welcome. We would not hesitate to use PetStay and Joanna again and would like to say “Thanks very much”

Skyla

This was the first time we used PetStay as we wanted our girl to live in a home from home environment rather than kennels. Audrey, our sitter, was lovely, from the first visit to discuss our requirements, through to the actual stay. We received photos of Skyla whilst she was in Audrey’s care and she always looked very comfortable cuddled up by the fire or on the sofa, being treated as a member of the family, just what we were looking for.
Would have no hesitation in recommending Audrey and PetStay, we have booked further stays for Skyla and we can go away on our holiday knowing that she will be looked after as she would be at home.

Jakey

We were very wary about leaving Jakey at first, (especially for 2 weeks!! We have only ever left him for a few days) as he is reactive to some people and some dogs plus he has allergies which includes a specific diet and at this time he was having problems with his eyes. I need not have worried both Lauren and Jez loved and cared for him as their own! Jakey had a sleep over first to make sure he was ok and the rest was the forming of a beautiful relationship….he was well cared for and it was clear to see in the wagging tail when we picked him up….we have already booked again!

Ned

From the first visit I made with Ned to Joanne, I felt very comfortable. Joanne was very interested in Ned’s eating, walking and play needs and made lots of notes which was very reassuring. Whilst we were away over Christmas, Joanne sent photos of Ned and texts which also helped assure us that he was happy and well looked after. She also bought him a Christmas present, which was a lovely touch. He was clearly happy when we picked him up and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Joanne and her family again and would recommend her to others.

Joanna has looked after our two greyhounds a few times now and we are always thrilled with the quality of care they receive. She takes care to write down all the information I give her about their diet etc so they can have as little disruption as possible and I get sent photos every couple of days over Facebook so I know they are doing alright. Last time I dropped them off they felt so at home they went straight to the toy box, helped themselves to a toy each and settled down within a few minutes! Thanks Joanna and Alan!

Honey

The care Jill and Howard have given to Honey is above and beyond anything we could have expected. Over the last 12 months it has become her second home and it is obvious she is treated as one of the family when staying there.

I cannot recommend enough the service offered by Jill and Howard, so much so we have already got Honey booked in four times this year. We trust totally the care Honey will receive and know it will be like we would care for her ourselves.

I think that for 2019 you might need to book early!

Poppy

Our first time using PetStay and we are very impressed! From the start Lauren was lovely on the phone and by email while she found us a lovely couple to look after Poppy. Then, what can I say, Jill and Howard were wonderful. Poppy was so happy and had such a fantastic time while we were away. We were sent regular pupdates and photos which showed how much of a good time she was having! The planning of Poppy’s stay was very professional and you could tell that both Jill and Howard love what they do and put 100% effort in to caring for Poppy as well as reassuring us while we were away that Poppy was in good hands. We have just received a Christmas card from Poppy (with a little help from Grandma Jill and Grandad Howard) which just shows the extra mile this lovely couple have gone to to make us feel welcome and part of their family.

Thanks Lauren for putting me in touch with Mandy. It was the first time I had left Amelie with anyone and I was so worried about leaving her. However, there was no need to have worried. Amelie enjoyed her stay with Mandy. She returned home happy and well. The regular text messages put my mind at rest so that I could enjoy myself on my trip. Amelie even left Mandy’s with a little gift as an early Christmas present. Thanks once again.

I would definitely recommend PetStay.
I’vee left our dog with them twice and can honestly say its nice to be able to go away on holiday knowing that my dog is being well cared for.
Also the price is reasonable as your not paying much more than kennel fees.
I will certainly be using PetStay again next year

Charlie

Charlie and Joanne bonded from the moment they met, which was a great relief as Charlie had never been left with someone he didn’t know.

Joanne was great, she looked after Charlie as though he was her own pet. She kept to Charlie’s routine, walking him regularly (despite the awful weather), keeping to his set mealtimes and most importantly treating him as a member of the family.

I would definitely recommend Pet Stay as a “home away from home”. It was good to know that Pet Stay only allow one dog (or two if from the same family) to stay with the chosen carer for the duration of the stay.

My thanks to Joanne and to Lauren for making my holiday (and Charlie’s) so enjoyable and stress free.

One happy dog!!!!!

I have used Petstay many times over the last 10 years for both of my dogs. Most recently in September 2018, Jingo stayed with Peter and his own dog in Barnsley for 6 days and had a great time. When I went to pick him up Jingo was his usual happy relaxed self so he obviously felt very at home with Peter and Yak.

Katherine was the perfect choice to care for the dogs, she was caring, loving and treat our dogs as if they were her own. She kept in touch regularly with updates as we were on our cruise, so we could enjoy our cruise without worry of the dogs. Katherine is a credit to your company and would without hesitation recommend Katherine to anyone wanting to have their dog cared for. Well done.

We left our boys with Rachel who looked after them well, they even seemed to be less manic so looks like some training was also given. Which is what they needed as together they can be a bit rough round the edges. They were pleased to see us, but we also were pleased to see that they looked really well. We have actually asked for Rachel to look after them again and she said yes so we are very pleased indeed.

Our dog Blossom stayed with Audrey who was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. From first meeting Audrey, you could tell she was a dog lover. Blossom also took to Audrey’s husband and son straightaway as well. I felt very comfortable that Blossom was being well cared for and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Audrey and PetStay 100%. Blossom is holidaying again with Audrey and her family very soon.

“This is the second time that our dogs have stayed with Katherine and Jason through Petstay. We would never leave our dogs in a kennel, particularly our toy poodle who usually gets very stressed and distressed if we try and leave him with anyone so we haven’t had a foreign holiday for a long time. At Christmas we tried leaving our 2 dogs with Katherine and Jason for a short break. The texts and photos of the dogs very happy and settled meant we could really enjoy our holiday. This time, as soon as we pulled up outside Katherine and Jason’s house the dogs started jumping around really excitedly which was so reassuring about how much they enjoyed staying with them. Scooby and Ben have exactly the same routine as they do at home which is lovely. It is wonderful to now be able to go on holiday knowing that the dogs are being so well looked after and having a great time. I highly recommend Petstay who carefully match carers to your dog/s. ”

We immediately felt comfortable leaving Monty with someone other than family for the first time and knew that he was going to be well looked after. On our return Monty was happy and relaxed, had been well looked after and had been on some lovely walks. Lauren was excellent to deal with from our initial enquiry and was extremely efficient throughout the whole process. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending PetStay. ”

This was Bluebell’s first stay away from home – Joanne was great at putting Bluebell at ease, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which was appreciated. Bluebell was very relaxed when we picked her up, and had obviously enjoyed her little holiday! Many thanks to Joanne, and also to Lauren at PetStay for helping us to arrange everything.”

“We have used PetStay twice now for our daft Cockapoo Sophie. The first time she stayed with Karen who Sophie settled in with lovely. This last stay, unfortunately, Karen couldn’t have her so we were told about Dawn and her family. We took Sophie there twice before we left her and she was great. She can be quite wary of strangers but she made herself at home straight away. She had a lovely time being spoilt by the two girls and Dad. Can highly recommend PetStay and I will definitely use again.”

They had a really good stay and Mandy told us they had been no trouble at all and in fact joked that she would not give them back! I’m sure I will feel very confident when using this service again.”

Peppa

“My 8 year old Yorkie “Peppa” stayed Zoe one of PetStay’s lovely boarders whilst we were away for almost two weeks. Peppa is very set in her ways, so I was worried about her staying with someone new in an area that was also new to her. I needn’t have worried one bit! Peppa was treat like a princess by Zoe. They walked three times every day in the local park, at times picked by Zoe so that Peppa didn’t feel threatened by other dogs. Zoe was at work (short shifts so dog is never left for long) her elderly mum would pop round and sit in the garden with Peppa and give her treats. Peppa soon figured this out and started sitting by the gate watching for her! I got regular updates through “WhatsApp” with lovely pictures so I could see her enjoying herself. I would not hesitate to book with Zoe again.”

Scruffles has recently stayed again and we knew she would be fine, again upon picking up she was her happy usual self. It’s a great alternative to kennels and we will continue to use.”

Amber

“I adopted my beautiful rescue greyhound, Amber, in 2017. Soon after that I had two occasions where I needed pet sitting services, one for a long weekend in Scotland and one, unexpectedly, for two weeks when my mother in Canada had an accident. Lauren found Gina from Bradford straight away and as soon as Amber and I visited I had enormous confidence that Amber would be well cared for. I came back on both occasions to a happy dog and knew for certain that she had all the care and affection she needed while I was gone. More recently I had another two weeks abroad and Amber stayed with Rachel, a new dog sitter in the Halifax area. She settled in very well and Rachel sent me loads of photos while I was away to keep me in the loop which was brilliant…it made me smile to see Amber so happy. A new dog sitter is in the offing for an unexpected two day trip to Amsterdam and I look forward to another great experience. One thing that has been brilliant about Lauren and PetStay is that she has been able to accommodate my last-minute requirements with terrific dog sitters which takes away a great deal of the anxiety I feel when I have to leave Amber. I definitely recommend PetStay’s services and my dog sitters in particular.”

They send us photos while we are away and texts too to let us know how he is, it is lovely to see how settled he is on the pictures, usually cuddled up with them on the settee asleep. Thank you PetStay for finding us such a wonderful family to look after our precious boy !!”

We have used PetStay a few times with Honey we cannot recommend their services enough, the last time we needed to find someone we could trust to look after her for an extended period, the care she received from Lauren and Jeremy was totally amazing, they gave her a real home from home. Lauren kept in touch while we were away to let us know how Honey was doing, but we need not have worried as she was completely at home in her surroundings. Since she has come back to us she has settled back in without any problems, proving that she had being cared for in exactly same as we would have

I rang Lauren in a panic and she assured me she could help and came back to me straight away with a variety of home boarders who could look after our dog. We are so pleased we used PetStay as our carer Amanda was absolutely brilliant. We had a meet and greet with Amanda and her dogs before our holiday so that we knew our dog, Trent would be in safe hands. In fact, when we got back I don’t think he wanted to come home as he got to spend time with two wonderful greyhounds at Amanda’s home. We would highly recommend PetStay to anyone looking for home boarding. Thank you again Lauren”

Thank you so much for recommending Mandy Keeble as a carer for our dog, Marley. It was the first time we had gone away without him and we were extremely anxious, but after our initial meeting with Mandy our minds were put completely at ease. She was very welcoming to us along with her dog, Max, and I had no worries leaving Marley with her as he seemed totally relaxedthere from our initial meeting. Whilst we were away she sent me frequent updates about him so we were able to enjoy our holiday without feeling guilty about leaving him behind. On our return,it was obvious that Marley was very happy there and Mandy teased us that they were keeping him!

Thank you again for everything, I will have no hesitation in asking Mandy to look after him again.

It was obvious to us that Heidi would be well looked after during her stay.

“I was very anxious at the thought of leaving Pippi (our beloved Sproodle) with people she didn’t know as she is quite the fuss pot and very energetic . Lauren was very careful to find out as much as she could about Pippi before hand and matched her with Jackie and Ian. We went to meet them before our holiday which was very important to me and made me feel more comfortable about leaving her. I have just booked Pippi’s 3rd stay with Jackie and Ian so can very happily say that all went very well indeed. Jackie and Ian have been brilliant with Pippi giving her the run of their house and putting up with her obsession with sitting in the window watching rabbits and the long walks…. I feel very confident leaving her in their excellent care. Thank you Petstay. ”

I wasn’t keen on the idea of leaving her in a kennels as she’s a very socialble dog and loves being with people, so thankfully i came across Petstay. Lauren was fantastic at explaining the process and we went to meet with Shirley. I couldn’t have wished for a more caring person to look after my Molly. Shirley was so friendly and Molly (who can be a bit nervous of new people) was instantly relaxed with her. Her house and garden were totally secure and it was great to know that my dog was in great hands. when we collected Molly she was very relaxed and happy – something I doubt we’d have seen if she’s been in a kennels. I’d 100% recommend this service and especially Shirley. ”

“We were quite nervous about leaving Penn as she has never been left alone, or with anyone else in the six years we have had her. However, as soon as we spoke with Lauren, her knowledge and professionalism gave us the confidence to use PetStay. We were introduced to Joanne and her partner and the first visit to their home went well. Joanne and Darren really are friendly, accommodating and genuinely passionate and caring about all things canine, they did far more than we expected to ensure that Penn would be happy and content during her stay. The reception we received from Joanne and her family meant that we were able to go away and relax, confident in the knowledge that Penn would be well looked after. When we picked her up on our return we weren’t even sure that she wanted to come home with us she seemed to have enjoyed herself so much! We would have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending PetStay. In Joanne and her family they have exceptionally caring, marvellous people who will go the extra mile to ensure that your pet has the very best care and treatment. Go on and use them, we guarantee you will not be disappointed, we have already booked Penn in for another three visits this year. Thank you to you all at PetStay.”

Huddersfield-Spencer

Spencer

“We left our 3 year old Welsh Springer Spaniel in the loving care of Joanne, Darren and their family for a week in January 2017. We were quite apprehensive about it but we could not have been more delighted with how happy and well Spencer looked when we picked him up. He was made to feel completely at home and was even allowed to sleep on the bedroom floor, as he does at home. Joanne bent over backwards to accommodate all of his needs and we would highly recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be using Petstay and Joanne again in the future…….”

Tazley

“Tazley had been to the best kennels but always came home fretful and thin, I then found Petstay (thank the lord) Tazley stayed with Lauren and Jeremy over the festive season and by the looks of her was treated like a queen, in fact next holiday she can go with her Dad and I’ll stay there 😉 Thank you so much for taking excellent care of her, would recommend Petstay without a doubt. ”

Bruno

“I have used Petstay twice now and both times I’ve been super pleased with how well my lovely Bruno has been looked after. He is a typical daft choc lab but is such a special boy to me that only the very best will do. I will definitely use again when required. ”

“What can I say absolutely fantastic. Gizmo went to stay at the most welcoming home & I can honestly say he was treated like a king. Lauren & Jeremy couldn’t have done enough to make it as easy as possible. I would highly recommend PetStay & Gizmo can’t wait to go back. ”

Just wanted to let you know how wonderful Pauline and Malcolm were with Harvey. I was more than happy with the service they provided. I could tell when I picked Harvey up that he was relaxed and felt at home in their home. Next time I need someone to care for Harvey I hope Pauline and Malcolm are available.
Thanks so much for finding Harvey such a wonderful place to stay, which in turn made our holiday really enjoyable.

Hollie


I just wanted to drop you a line to say how pleased I was with the care Hollie received last week while staying with Carol and Barry. I also wanted to thank you for all your efforts in arranging it. It has totally put my mind at ease about leaving Hollie with carers and I wouldn’t hesitate to use your service again. I was so happy with the service that I have booked a two week holiday next year and would be grateful if you could check if they would be available.
