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

Hello, we are Sue and Simon Jennings the proud New owners of the West Midlands South Branch of PetStay. We live in Sutton Coldfield with 2 children and our Cavapoo Ruby. We used to have 2 rescue Greyhounds Charlie and Noah who were a big part of our family, when they passed we wanted to help other dogs and their owners.

PetStay was the perfect opportunity as we understand the effort and love owners put into the training and care of their dogs, from personal experience we know that owners do not want to leave their furry family members in a kennel. This is why 2 years ago we set up the PetStay West Midlands North and South Staffordshire Branch – to offer bespoke home boarding for family dogs. It’s been such a success we have now taken on the West Midlands South Branch.

Why Choose PetStay?

At PetStay, we understand that leaving your beloved dog while you’re on holiday is a big decision. That’s why we offer a trusted, home-based alternative to kennels, ensuring your dog enjoys a comfortable stay in a loving environment. With one-on-one care and no mixing of dogs from different households, we provide a stress-free experience tailored to your dog’s needs.

What Makes Us Different?

Personalised, Home-from-Home Care – Your dog stays in a cozy, caring home, just like their own.
Solo Boarding Only – We never mix dogs from different families, ensuring a calm and relaxed stay.
Tailored Matching Process – We carefully select the perfect carer for your dog’s personality and routine.
Meet & Greet Before Booking – You and your dog get to visit the carer’s home beforehand to ensure a great fit.
Fully Insured & Licensed – Your peace of mind is our priority, with full insurance and licensing in place.
Ongoing Support – Our team is here to help, offering 24/7 support for both owners and carers.
With PetStay, you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and being cared for like family.

Our Carers

All our carers love dogs and are experienced dog owners who provide the best care for your pet while you’re away. Each carer is personally interviewed by PetStay to ensure they offer a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment for your dog. We are fully licensed, and our carers are covered by our public liability insurance for your peace of mind. Some of our carers may have a dog of their own. If your pooch is happy to stay with another friendly dog, we’ll arrange a meet-up so they can get acquainted and see if they’re a good match.

Prices above are per day, or part thereof, except Bank Holidays. For more information regarding those rates, please contact us.

PetStay Arrangement Fee & Carer’s Allowance

Our daily rate is made up of two separate payments: the Arrangement Fee and the Carer’s Allowance. Together, these payments cover the full cost of your dog’s stay, ensuring they receive loving care in a safe and happy home.

Prices listed are per day (or part thereof), except for Bank Holidays, when the Carer’s Allowance is doubled — because we believe our wonderful carers deserve extra for their dedication during these special times!

Arrangement Fee

The Arrangement Fee secures your dog’s booking and is due within five days of meeting your chosen carer. For repeat bookings, this fee must be paid within five days of your requested dates being confirmed by PetStay.

This fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, as it covers the service provided by your local PetStay branch in carefully matching your dog with a suitable carer. It also contributes to essential operational costs, including:

Carer’s Allowance

The Carer’s Allowance is a separate payment, made directly to your chosen carer when you drop your dog off for their holiday. On Bank Holidays, this allowance is doubled, reflecting the extra commitment and care our carers provide during these times.

Together, the Arrangement Fee and the Carer’s Allowance make up the full daily rate for your dog’s stay.

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.

If you meet all the requirements listed above, we will come and visit you at your home.

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.

Our service is on a one-to-one basis, so only dogs from the same household will stay with you.

Milly Molly

November 2024


I would like to say how very pleased I have been with the care Milly & Molly have received from Vanessa and Ken during recent stays. Both go over and beyond to make my dogs not only very welcome but also a part of their family. Which includes little Henry who is a lovely dog and good company for MM. Feeding, walking, fun playtime, rest, sleeping arrangements and lots of loving attention for my little yorkies is the norm and all is just superb.

Milly & Molly really like going there, both get very excited when I pull up in the car outside their house. And they look ever so relaxed, settled and happy when I collect them. I have no doubt that they love their stays with Vanessa, Ken and little Henry.

I can fully and wholeheartedly recommend them as carers. Communication is excellent, I have no concerns at all. I enjoy my “doggie-free” time, and never worry. Looking forward to dropping MM off again in February.

Thank you, Vanessa, Ken and Henry 😊

Oscar

October 2024

This is the first time I have used PetStay and the first time I have left my 12 year old poodle Oscar with anyone apart from family and was worried how he would be for 12 days whilst I was away. I needn’t have worried at all Karen and Nigel were brilliant with him and cared for him as if he was their own & sent me updates & photos of how he was doing. He was content and very settled which put my mind at rest. He is going again to stay in 2 weeks time and I am so happy I have found Karen & Nigel. Thank you PetStay 😃

Jane

Sacha

October 2024

This is the third time we have used PetStay with two different carers and both were excellent, and can’t recommend them enough. I don’t think I could ever put my dogs in a kennel so this is an excellent alternative and puts my mind at rest whilst on holiday.

Molly

October 2024

We have used PetStay four times in the last year as we have needed cover for four family occasions, 3 weddings and a big birthday. Maggie looked after Molly, our lively Labrador each time and although we didn’t like leaving her, we knew she was being cared for and her needs were being met. PetStay provides home from home care for your pet at a reasonable price. I would use it again if the need arose

Kate

Missey

October 2024

I have used PetStay twice this year and the service and level of care is amazing. Both Sue and Simon are fantastic with my dog Missey, and she loves being with them. I have never left my dog with anybody apart from close family and I was put at ease immediately. I looked forward to the daily photos to see what she was up to and to know she was so well looked after means we will keep coming back. Thank you PetStay ❤️

Mick

September 2024

Just got back from our holidays. Was so worried about our dog ( who can be a hand full at the best of times) but Maggie our life saver was absolutely brilliant gave us lot’s of update picture’s even though I was texting her and being a nuisance she made me feel reassured thanks a million.

Lil

September 2024

After booking a short break, we then faced the trauma of finding someone to look after our Lilac (Lil. ) As we hadn’t left her before, we were a bit worried about leaving her and keen to find the exact right person. We decided to use PetStay as we’d heard good reviews. We were put in contact with Maggie. On meeting Maggie, it was clear that she is a real dog lover, and really happy to let Lil become part of her family for a few days. She put us at complete ease. She asked Lil’s likes and dislikes, her routine and where she likes to sleep. We were a little concerned about this, as we allow Lil on our bed at night, and we thought perhaps this wouldn’t be acceptable to Maggie. No such thing. She said her bed is a bit high, but she has a set of steps, that Lil could use to climb up! After the initial meeting, it was quite a few months before we were due to go on holiday, so we asked if we could meet Maggie again just to make sure Lil hadn’t forgot her. Maggie was more than happy with this. She wanted to do everything to make us feel at ease. While we were away, Maggie sent daily updates, with photos. It was clear that Lil was absolutely fine, in fact she was having the time of her life, being completely spoilt. As Maggie said, it’s Lil’s holiday too! On our return, it was lovely to see Lil so relaxed, and treating Maggie’s home as her own. Maggie is a really lovely lady and we definitely would be happy to leave Lil with her again.

Mr Davies

September 2024

We have used PetStay many times with two different dogs and the care is always first class. All of the different carers really love dogs and give them a great experience.

Arthur

September 2024

Ellen and Liam looked after our young cocker spaniel, Arthur, for his first time away from us. We were nervous about leaving him, but Ellen was so warm and friendly at the meet and greet, that I was immediately reassured. He had one night’s trial with Ellen, so we knew he would be ok before we went away for the main trip. Ellen lives very near a park, so Arthur had lots of walks with her dog, and they got on well. He was able to sleep upstairs, which was great, because it’s what he is used to at home. I thought Arthur might be clingy or sulky with us for leaving him, but he was fine when we got home, which I think was a good indicator that he’d enjoyed his holiday too. PetStay ask you to complete a questionnaire to provide lots of info about your dog, which is good. The personal interface to link you up with the carers is helpful. My only disappointment is that there is a minimum booking of 3 nights and one overnight trial stay counted as 2 days.

Sa

Merlin

August 2024

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

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

Thank you 🙂

Izzy

July 2024

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

Thank you
Louise and Mike

Ferris

June 2024

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

Michelle

Lily

June 2024

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

Kinds Regards.
Christine

Amy

May 2024

Our two Cavaliers had the most lovely holiday with Karen and Nigel. They were so wonderful with them and sent us many photos of their time with them. Great experience!

Darcy

May 2024

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

Joanne

Bayley

March 2024

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

Alison

Suki

February 2024

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

Megan

Marmalade

November 2023

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

Zoe

Ebony

November 2023

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

Lynda

Molly

October 2023

Thank you for your help setting up a stay with Maggie for Molly. Maggie handled Molly very well. In spite of being 2 Molly is very puppyish and quite juvenile and needs a firm but fair grip which Maggie has. We are very grateful for the care and attention she showed to Molly.

Kate

Lola

October 2023

I just wanted to say thank you for finding such a nice couple to look after Lola for us, Gillian kept us in touch the whole time we were away with pictures and updates how she was getting on with them. She is a lovely lady and I would ‘recommend her.
