Lily our 10 year old Snoodle had a wonderful time with Judy, we were sent photos and updates whilst away which was a great relief to know she was being well looked after and seemed very content, will defo use this service again.

We were happy that Millie was staying with Neil & Sue after her trial stay went well a few weeks before. When we arrived at their home Millie’s tail started to wag and she seemed excited about going into the house and staying with them, which put our minds at rest as we were leaving her for three weeks. On our return Neil & Sue said she had been fine and enjoyed her routine including her daily walks. So pleased to leave her in a home environment with such lovely caring people. Will definitely not have to worry when leaving her in August. Can’t thank you, Neil & Sue enough.

Kay & I are so very happy we found PetStay and Pat & Geoff. Marnie absolutely adores staying with them and it is very clear they love Marnie too. We are so lucky to have such wonderful carers for Marnie and, for her, it is like her own holiday. Kay & I can completely relax knowing Marnie is having 5 star attention with P & G. They are such lovely people, we are massively pleased with all the arrangements.

Our 2 dealings with PetStay ( North Staffordshire) have been extremely professional from start to finish. Jane managed to find the same carer for our 2 dogs which was very reassuring. The level of detail required from the start of the process is very thorough and we felt very confident that all would be done to ensure our dogs were well looked after, which indeed they were. Sue and her family were very welcoming and looked after our dogs as though they were their own. Sue sent texts and photos when we were away to reassure us that the dogs were happy. She was very understanding with our younger, very nervous dog who was obviously very much at ease with the family. The trial visit is an excellent idea for both carer and owner. Thank you Jane and Sue and family for your care and concern.

Judy

July 2020

“I can’t say enough about Rosie, Adrian and their lovely daughter Aoife, who cared for Splitz whilst I was on holiday. He is an aged dog of 16 years, who is almost blind so needs lots of TLC. He went for lovely walks and I know he had lots of attention. I have no hesitation in letting him be cared for again in their lovely home.”

Sarah

“We cannot say how happy we are to have chosen PetStay for Connie Judy was amazing. Connie was so looked after and spoilt we will never let Connie stay anywhere else. PetStay for your pet is the best care a pet could ask for thank you so much.”

Cath and Nick

“Chris and Bob were lovely, they looked after Curtis like he was their own pet. They gave him lots of love, walks and treats and provided a warm, safe environment for him which gave me a great peace of mind. Jane was very prompt and informative with all matters regarding availability and processes. I would recommend PetStay and use their service again.”

Denise

“Chase and Tommy had a fabulous holiday with Auntie Lisa at her house. They were spoiled, it was a real home from home. We even had texts to say they were settled and that they were all snuggled on the sofa. I would highly recommend… FANTASTIC.”

Janice

“It was our first time leaving Rufus with carers whilst we went on holiday for a week. After a meet and greet with Glyn and Sarah we knew he would be well looked after. Rufus had a great time – he went on lots of walks, they were happy to keep us up to date with how he was getting on and he came back to us a happy doggy! Just want to say thanks and we would be very happy to use PetStay again.”

Melissa and Steve

“I have complete confidence when Ollie goes to Teresa & Andy. They are lovely people & care for Ollie so well. Each time he stays with them he remembers them & they get a big greeting from him. He obviously loves staying with Teresa & Andy & is completely safe & secure in their house & garden. I am so grateful to them for all their help.”

Pamela

“Teddy had a wonderful stay with Judy and Mike. Their house really was a home from home for him while we were away. They really cared for him which meant that we could enjoy a worry-free mini-break. Teddy is looking forward to returning to his holiday home in 6 weeks’ time! Many thanks for organising it all for us.”

Helen & Ian
April 2019

“This was the first time we had used PetStay and [were] naturally a bit apprehensive. Judy and Mike were lovely, we had a prior meeting with Poppy. Judy immediately played with her and Poppy just started to play and we knew then that she would be happy there. We were updated with lovely photos and she looked happy and we wondered if she would want to come home!! We will use PetStay again in the future.”

Suzanne
April 2019

It was Molly and Coco first time away from home and we were a little apprehensive but we needn’t have been they had a great time with Judy and Mike, they settled quickly and seemed very happy. Judy kept in touch with us by email with updates on how they were and stories of the funny things they were doing, she also sent photos. Very good service would recommend PetStay. And a big thank you to Judy and Mike for enabling us to have a great holiday.

Sue
April 2019

Thanks so much for helping us out at such short notice. So professional and supportive from the first contact. Matched up with a perfect sitter and we felt at ease from the first moment. Honey had a great week and we loved that it was like ‘home from home’. Looking forward to next time! Thanks again.

Su

“Pat & Geoff were a credit to your company. It was their first time to have a dog to stay and they both wanted to get everything right! [At the Meet & Greet] they gave me the time to explain what makes Charlie ‘tick’ and I felt they really knew him. I left Charlie with them feeling very confident that he would settle and have a good time. As requested Pat sent me some updates while I was on holiday which was much appreciated. I would not hesitate to use Pat & Geoff again.”

Christine

“I am so happy leaving Barney & Scally with my pet carer Sue. She looks after them very well and they do what they would do at home, which pleases me.
I get pictures, which is nice, and I just don’t worry about them. But it’s lovely to get them back!”

Judy
March 2019

“This was our first time using PetStay. Roxie our much-loved boxer stayed with Lynne and Ray and was so well cared for we don’t think she wanted to come home as she wouldn’t get out of the car when we pulled up at home. We would not hesitate to recommend Lynne and Ray to anyone thank you again.”

Kathleen

“Tarra had a fab time with Judy, and it was reassuring to have regular emails with pictures of Tarra. It was a pleasure to have used the service and I look forward to using you again.”

Sara

“Wilma has been staying with carers at Petstay for a few years and it has proved to be the best care that Wilma could have ever had. Mary and Ken and Lynne and Ray have looked after Wilma as if she was their own. Although Wilma misses her own home, she settled well with both families and they said she wasn’t a bit of trouble. We would recommend this service without reservation. It has been the best quality of care ever. Thank you to all involved in PetStay. Well done! What a great team you are!”

Judith
January 2019

“What a fabulous service. Our dog, Max is quite nervous and doesn’t respond well to being in kennels. When I discovered Petstay I was delighted. We have used the services of the lovely Sue and her family for Max on several occasions. Sometimes I worry that he has just too good a time there and won’t want to come home. I can’t recommend the service highly enough.”

Helen

“Sue and her family looked after my 40kg dog Archie in January. I couldn’t have been more happy, they sent me photos and kept me up to date with how he was doing. He looked so content and super healthy, and happy when I collected him. The whole process of booking Archie’s stay through Jane at PetStay was easy and professional which helped put me at ease leaving him with someone new. I would recommend Sue and PetStay to anyone and will certainly be using them again! Thank you so much!”

Caroline
January 2018

My normal dog sitter had to cancel a long standing booking due to a personal problem and she recommended PetStay to help out. At very short notice we contacted PetStay and they introduced us to an exceptional carer within a day. A visit was arranged and the booking was confirmed. Archie our Cavapoo came back from this visit tired but contented and we could see straight away he’d been spoiled rotten and given loads of love. Can’t praise this service enough. There will be a lot more business going their way from us.

“Wanted to let you know that Henry had a wonderful time with Judy. And we were so thankful for the photos & emails she kindly sent us throughout our holiday.”

Jeanette & Gary,
August 2017

“I’ve just picked the babies up from Mary & Ken and just wanted to say a big thank you. The dogs were so relaxed and happy when I got there, they’d obviously had a fantastic time. I wasn’t at all upset that they weren’t overwhelmingly pleased to see me, a sign to me that they were happy! Mary and Ken are lovely and their attention to detail in making sure everything is just right is excellent. I think the dogs will miss them and all the attention they got!”

Margie
March 2017

“I just wanted to thank you for recommending Marilyn to us for looking after Louis. We have just picked him up this afternoon from her and she has been great with him. As you know, it was a big step for us to leave him with a stranger, but we feel reassured that he has been well looked after and loved.”

Kirsty
February 2017

“We happened upon PetStay via an internet search. The testimonials given were reassuring, as was our initial meeting with Marilyn. Upon collecting Bonnie after her stay, it was very clear that she had been well looked after and cared for – fully justifying our decision to place her into Marilyn’s care.”

Clive

“We had a lovely holiday and it was made easier because we knew Daisy was well cared for. Pauline made her feel welcome from our first visit. I never worried about her while we were away – I felt so at ease with Pauline and she obviously loves dogs. I would have no hesitation asking Pauline to look after Daisy when we go away in future, so thank you for introducing us to this lovely lady.”

Lorraine
October 2016

“I can’t thank Jane & Sarah enough for helping me out. Initially, I thought I was going to have to cancel my holiday, as I had been let down at the 11th hour. To go on to meet Sarah, who put my mind at ease immediately, soon put any such thoughts out of my mind. Sarah even texted me two photos of my dogs [Penny & Jack] which gave me peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Jane, Sarah or PetStay. Thank you very much.”

Helen
October 2016

“Thank you to Jane from PetStay for finding us such a lovely couple, Lynne & Ray, to look after our two labradors Maisie & Poppy. They both enjoyed their stay while we were away. We would recommend PetStay to anyone who is looking for home-from-home dog boarding, and are already looking to book for 2017.”

Michelle & Paul

Ruby had a super time. She was pleased to see us, but is very content. We could not believe how much she had grown in two weeks. It was lovely of Judy to save Ruby’s baby teeth for us. We had a lovely holiday and it was great to know that our pup was well cared for. We will definitely use PetStay again.

Alison, Philippa & Gemma

“Thanks to PetStay for taking care of Harvey during our weekend break. We were very impressed with the whole service. It was very reassuring to meet Judy (the carer) in advance to discuss Harvey’s routine. Thanks to Judy we knew Harvey would be very well cared for while we were away. We will definitely be using PetStay again”.

Gill & Andrew
July 2016

“From the initial meeting with Pat, she bonded well with Olly. We could tell she loved dogs and her experience gave us confidence our beloved pet was in safe hands. We got regular updates while we were away – she even managed to tire him out one day which is a feat in itself!! He had a brilliant time and I would not hesitate to leave Olly with Pat again. Thank you to Pet Stay for finding another wonderful carer and to Pat and Steve for the love and care they showed to Olly.”

Becky, Kevin & Olly
July 2016

“Excellent service from beginning to end. Communication from Jane and Marilyn was excellent, set up was easy, facilities at Marilyn’s were first class, secure, friendly environment. We were even sent photos whilst we were away to show China was happy and settled. Highly recommended.”

July 2016

From the moment we met Carol we could tell she genuinely cared about Olly’s welfare which really helped put us at ease when it came to leaving him. The initial meeting was well planned and we followed the guidelines given so things ran smoothly.

Communication from Jane and Carol was excellent and any questions, worries or concerns were answered quickly and to our satisfaction.

Olly had a great time with Carol – he was lovingly cared for and the interaction with another dog [Emily] has already had positive benefits for his routine. We had updates about how he had settled the first day which helped us not to be worrying while we were away. Carol really treated him like her own – we look forward to using the services of Carol and Emily again soon and would definitely recommend PetStay to everyone!

Becky & Kevin,
July 2016

“I was nervous about leaving Jasper for the first time but from the initial meeting with Jaspers carer, Carol, I knew I had nothing to worry about. She made me feel at ease and obviously had the dogs’ comfort and safety as utmost priority. We kept in regular contact throughout Jasper’s stay and she sent pictures to show me how he had settled in. Thank you to PetStay & Carol for making Jasper’s first holiday such a pleasant experience. I’ll be recommending you to family & friends.”

PetStay ticks all the boxes in providing an ideal solution to the problem of having a happy pet whilst you are away on holiday.
Kennels can be a daunting experience for your dog and you don’t like to put on family and friends by leaving them with a demanding guest for a week or two.
Luckily I heard about PetStay and contacted them. Turned out I knew Jane who runs the Staffordshire branch and knew she was in business for her love of animals.
Jane paired us up with Marilyn – another lovely lady who has devoted a large part of her life to caring for rescue dogs.
I felt assured that Poppy, our Border/Bichon cross would be happy in Marilyn’s home and she was!
I would recommend PetStay to anyone who is looking peace of mind and a happy pet whilst they holiday.

Dexter had a great holiday with Lynn and Ray they treated him like it was home from home, l received plenty of messages and pics excellent service will definitely use this service again.

Denise,
July 2016

Our dogs had never been in kennels and we were very nervous about leaving them. Our first meeting with Lynne and Ray quickly showed us that we had nothing to fear and our two dogs took to them immediately, much to our amazement. We were very confident that they would be well looked after and this was definitely the case – when we returned they were pleased to see us but would have happily stayed there!

The updates and photos while we were away were very reassuring and it was great to see the dogs looking so happy and doing all the same things that they do at home.

It is really good to know that we have people we can trust to look after our very precious pets enabling us to go away secure in the knowledge they are safe and happy

Steve & Jill,

‘We were nervous of leaving our young dog with anyone when we went on holiday and were unable to take him with us. There was no need to worry – Judy was amazing – engaged really quickly with Bertie and he was happy and comfortable with her. We are planning to use PetStay again in the Autumn and we are sure Bert will look forward to it too!’

Sara,
June 2016

We have struggled to find a holiday home for our 2 dogs for 3 years. This is due to one of them being a very large breed and he doesn’t get on with other dogs meaning they have to have one to one care.

I phoned Petstay on a Monday and by Wednesday the same week we was on our way to Lynne and Ray’s house for a meeting, also taking our boys. They had gone above and beyond to make their house safe and secure for their new guests. Vito and Chester had a sniff around, lots of kisses and cuddles and we knew then our babies were going to be in safe hands, so we booked them in for the following week.

Lynne & Ray couldn’t ask enough questions to make sure they had all the information they needed and they wrote everything down. They were also able to give Chester his medication. On our return, our dogs looked happy, healthy and very well looked after. Now we’ve got them home I actually think they’re sad as they miss Lynne and Ray.

Thank you Lynne and Ray for an impeccable service and thank you PetStay for introducing us to such kind, caring and loving carers for our babies. Thank you also for making the whole service quick and easy.

P. S we have already booked them in again for in two weeks time for 7 nights :).

John and Jane,

My dogs have had a great time with Judy this week. I was really apprehensive about leaving my dogs with a stranger but they have been fine. I can tell they have been very well looked after and welcomed into Judy’s Home. I would recommend this service.
