Sid
5 stars: Excellent
Felt very reassured and happy leaving our Sid with Kerry and Bryan. Very lovely and genuine couple who were so helpful and understanding. They loved and cared for Sid, and we hope to use their services again. I liked getting the WhatsApp photos and updates from Bryan too. I know Sid was well cared for.
Thank you also for the way the booking has been managed especially with all the COVID issues, you’ve been very helpful and accommodating too.

Buzz and Woody
We have used PetStay carers since our boys were pups and would not leave them with anyone else. It is such a joy to drop them off knowing that they will be spoilt rotten and loved just as much as they are at home. Sophia has been very accommodating during Covid as we have had to change our holiday dates 3 times and the whole process is very well organised and managed. Would highly recommend

Mabel
This was my first time using PetStay and I will definitely use them again. Mabel has only ever stayed with my parents but I was more than happy to leave her with Julie. I immediately felt safe and just knew she would take great care of Mabel. I was kept up to date every day and received some fantastic pictures too. I would recommend any of my friends to use these guys as I actually don’t think Mabel wanted to come home!

Poppy
This was our first time using PetStay. The whole process was very professional & well managed. It was brilliant to be given an option of a few different carers.
Susan in Gorleston was fabulous. Very accommodating, allowing us a few short visits to ensure Poppy our nervous Cocker Spaniel felt settled before her main stay. Poppy was made to feel like part of the family, well cared for & looked after. Poppy was a very happy doggie.
We will definitely be using Susan again.

Jasper and Alfie
It was our first time using PetStay. The booking and pre-meet arrangements went really well and the Covid protocols were carefully observed. Janet and Arthur in Norfolk were great hosts with Jasper and Alfie, our cocker and labrador. They were helpful and friendly, are obviously very kind, and our dogs came back happy and in good health. Jasper is very elderly and they looked after his care requirements extremely well. They also sent photos while we were away. We are looking forward to our next trip in the autumn.

Isla
Carolyn and Martin were very loving and caring towards our dog Isla who is 13 years old. They took time to talk to us about any of her needs and care. Isla took to them straight away, even to the point of when picking her up she wasn’t that bothered with us. Thank you Carolyn and Martin and thank you PetStay for introducing us to lovely carers.

Our 14 year old whippet-cross loves going to Jessamy! She gets so excited when she realises where she’s going and it makes me feel so much better knowing that she is snug and warm getting lots of sofa cuddles.

PetStay Norfolk is the one I’ve used, they are very professional, and I would recommend them to anyone looking to board their dog. The people that look after your pets are the very best,

Algie
Another excellent and happy stay
This was Algie’s second stay with Jessamy and, just as with the first stay, Algie was beautifully looked after. He greeted Jessamy with great enthusiasm and seemed to remember her from before. Jessamy took great care of him and kept in touch with us, sending photos and snippets of information. We were delighted with the affection, care and attention Algie received. We look forward to a summer return visit!

Lindsey and Mike provide a home from home for our precious golden retriever, Bella. She always enjoys her walks on the beach with them (a reminder of her days in Australia?!) And I never have a doubt that she is being well looked after and that they would contact me with if any issues arose (they never have).

Ben
My father in laws dog needed emergency home boarding and we were lucky enough to find a wonderful home through PetStay with Gerri and Mike. Ben settled in with them straight away, first time he had ever been away from home. I felt completely at ease leaving him there as soon as I met them. Ben was looked after wonderfully and I would have no hesitation in booking through PetStay again.

My son wondered if he picked up the right dog from his recent stay at Lindsey’s and Mike’s, which they said he was a star and had a lot of fun with him and cuddles, he was spoilt so he soon made himself one of the family. Thanks PetStay

Mac
Janet and Arthur (of PetStay) looked after our lively 2 year old labrador in a kind and knowledgeable way. They kept us up-dated on his ‘holiday’ and it was clear that they allowed him to feel very much ‘at home’. We have no hesitation in recommending this service.

Sammy
My cocker Sammy was with Dee and Fred of PetStay for a week and I can’t praise them enough. They took Sammy out a lot and kept her long hair brushed and clean and treated her with lots of love and kindness. They took her often tiring ‘play’ demands in their stride. I would happily let her holiday with them again.

Branny & Sugar
I was concerned leaving Branny and Sugar with anyone as they are both very nervous dogs but I had nothing whatsoever to worry about. They had the most fantastic time. Janet and Richard were amazing with them. Walks on the beach, in the woods. Loads of photos and videos over their stay. I did wonder if they would want to come home 🙂 Definitely be using Janet and Richard again.

Happy doggy holibobs in Colkirk ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was our first stay with new carers, Janet and Arthur. Buzz bonded immediately with Arthur’s lap keeping it warm for the week and Woody destroyed Janet’s home made toy in no time. Suffice to say a roaring success all round! We had complete peace of mind that our boys were being spoiled rotten and didn’t miss us at all.

Hannah
Hannah settled in with Fred and Dee very quickly. During her 3 day PetStay she was well looked after, as if she was their own dog, and she had lots of cuddles with Dee and even allowed some luxuries that she would not ordinarily have at home! Fred played with her, a favourite being a squeaky ball and she had lots of walks in the rain with Fred and Dee. After her stay, I found her transition back into life at home went smoothly afterwards, it was just as if she had never been away. I would recommend Fred and Dee as they included Hannah in their normal routine family life and were very attentive to her needs throughout the stay. She is due to stay with Fred and Dee again shortly and I am more than happy for her to stay with them in future.

Rosie Brice
We have been using PetStay for several years and have found their service to be excellent. Our dog Rosie has stayed with Jenefer and Don on numerous occasions and they are brilliant carers. They clearly love dogs and make sure that Rosie is very well cared for. We receive regular photos of Rosie whilst out on her walks. We feel happy and relaxed leaving Rosie in their care.

Jessie
We recently used Margaret and Kevin from PetStay to look after our nervous dog Jessie. We couldn’t have wished for a more caring and kind couple. They looked after her for 4 days and she was settled and happy. They treated her like their own dog and nothing was too much trouble. I’d have no hesitation in booking them again when we go away.

Olly
Dee and Fred looked after Olly exceptionally well, we felt very confident that he was being looked after as one of the family and I would not hesitate to ask them to care for him again.

Bella
Bella loves her holidays at Caister on Sea with Lindsey and Mike! She bounds out of the car and into the house with scarcely a backward glance. So much so that I’m always a little relieved that she greets me warmly on our return! I never have to worry about her, knowing that if there’s anything I need to know, I’ll get a message or call. Meanwhile, Bella is having a great time with lots of walks and perhaps more treats than she gets at home.

Myrtle
PetStay has been amazing (as always) Julie is the most caring loving person I could leave Myrtle with. Although I say it’s like being at home… Its not, it’s so much better! Myrtle is allowed to watch the television, she sleeps next to Julie she has the best time. I have full confidence in Julie when I go away. I get photos and videos of her. Very safe hand over. There is no where I’d rather her go.

Sammy
Sammy stayed for 8 nights with Gerri and Mike while I was working away. It was her first time with them, and my first time using Petstay, (although she had spent a day previously to accustom her to them). They are a kind and lovely couple who clearly love dogs and looked after Sammy wonderfully. As a young cocker spaniel she is quite demanding of attention but they coped with her very well, even brushing her so that she came home without knots in her long hair. I would happily let her stay with them again.
I was also pleased with Petstay’s Sophia who was very pleasant and relaxed to communicate with.
August 2020
Colin
We are so relieved to find PetStay and know that our dog, Colin, is in safe, friendly and professional hands. We managed to go on a holiday recently which was booked pre-Covid times. PetStay honoured our booking and ensured all safe procedures were in place for me and my husband, the sitters and our dog. Bryan and Kerry looked after Colin for 2 weeks. We were bowled over by how content and happy Colin was when we collected him. Bryan kept us regularly posted with photos of Colin’s day-to-day antics with walks, play and so on. We were so chuffed to be able to relax in the knowledge that he was looked after & cared for so well. Bryan and Kerry are lovely genuine people and they love our dog to bits. We can’t thank them and PetStay enough for an absolutely outstanding service. Already looking ahead to next year!

Jess
Couldn’t ask for more for my dog. Jenefer and Don give her the best of care. My dog is very happy with them. I know this because she waits for the door to open and goes charging in! It’s nice to get uodates and photos while I am away as well. Sophia at Petstay runs an extremely professional dog boarding service which gives you complete confidence
August 2020
Winston
Winston had a lovely time with Gerri and Mike. We had no worries leaving him with such wonderful people. It was Winston’s first time staying away and at 8 months old the thought was a little unnerving until we met Gerri and Mike. They kept us updated reassuring us he was ok and with some lovely photos! I actually think he sulked a little when we got home! 😉 The arranging of his care was straight forward but thorough with plenty questions to help out with the correct care and ensure a good match for both sides. We have no hesitation in putting Winston in PetStay’s Caring hands and especially the lovely Gerri and Mike!

Janet and Arthur looked after my dogs really well. I was worried about leaving them as one is a rescue and gets scared easily, but they were fine. I got sent updates and photos which was great, and the dogs were given a chicken breast to take home when we fetched them early. They loved that! Thank you for caring for our pets.

My Pug Shih Tzu cross stayed with S at PetStay a few times now. The level of care she received was excellent and my partner and I both felt confident that we were kept in the loop about any problems that arose without worrying that her carer wasn’t prepared or experienced. I’ve had bad experiences with a number of dog sitters in the past but PetStay dealt with my concerns clearly and professionally and they are now the only service I recommend.

5 stars quality, stress and worry free holiday.
I’ve been a PetStay Norfolk customer for several years now. We have booked to go away this June and July , unfortunately the covid19 has curtailed our holiday plans. Due to non transferable and non refund policy of the company I was unable to transfer to reschedule dates. I totally understand and empathise with Sophia’s ( franchisee) predicament. I shall book again when allowed. I shall continue to use PetStay to look after my dog . As Hilda the carer takes utmost care of Sherlock giving us a stress and worry free holiday. I cannot praise PetStay Norfolk highly enough. Keep up the good work .

The pandemic this year is going to put many businesses at risk. I really hope PetStay is able to keep going and come out on the other side. It is 5* dog care and I will continue to keep supporting and using them. PetStay make animal WELFARE their priority and its sad to see some of the comments recently have been all amount money. Us loyal customers should be supporting these organisations through the good and the bad or they will dissappear. Let’s face it, our dogs are always happy and safe when staying with PetStay and you really can’t put a price on that!

I had my beautiful black Labrador Ebony stay with PetStay for a month whilst I was away on a cruise . Ebony is two years old & had never been left before so you can imagine I was slightly worried , I needn’t have been though because she was treated just like she was their own & cared for wonderfully well they went above & beyond , we met up a couple of times to make sure Ebony was happy & compatible with their dog Mary which she was so much so that they shared a bed to sleep comfy cosy together even though Ebony had her very own bed with her , Ebony was introduced to the family home & immediately felt & was very comfortable there so much in fact that when it was time to leave she was in no hurry to do so ..That to me spoke volumes, while I was away I reviewed many photos of the dogs together playing & having fun & snuggled up , I cannot fault the care Ebony received & will definitely book with them again without any hesitation . I truly can’t as you no doubt have gathered praise them enough.

We left our very damaged German Shepperd rescue dog reluctantly as we had to go away for a week. We need not have worried Jessamy was cherry picked for the job, and what a job she did. She could not have looked after and cared for her any more if she tried. Dora is complex and we were totally content when we left knowing that we had made the right choice. I would recommend PetStay to anybody who is anxious about leaving their dog, they are absolutely fantastic and totally professional in every way, thankyou for all your help and a big thankyou to Jessamy with whom we could never have done this, Thankyou

As always PetStay is the best place for us to leave our four-legged family members, if we cannot bring them with us on our trip. We can be sure that our dogs are well taken care of and even if something unforseen happen, Sophia always finds a great solution! We don’t have to worry about our two bundels of joy at all and we regularly get updates of what is going on and what “naughtly” things there are up to again. I think, the dogs even have more fun than we have on our trip and that says a lot! If you are looking for a place where your dog is part of the family during your time away, PetStay is the company you are looking for!

I can highly recommend Petstay based on my experience, especially Jessamy who couldn’t have been more accomodation

We had only recently moved to Norfolk and were concerned how our lovely Cockerpoo would manage in the care of a family she’d only recently met. We would be out of the country for 2 weeks and this would be a first for her as we had never had the confidence to leave her before. We needn’t have worried. Gwen and Paul took great care of her during her stay and despite the dreadful storms the UK was experiencing in February 2020, she was still walked 3 times a day with Gwen dodging the showers to ensure she was exercised. She was the picture of health when we returned and I would have no hesitation in recommending PetStay carers Gwen and Paul who I hope will be willing to have her again.

Our 10 year old Golden Retriever, Bella, has taken her holidays with Marion several times over the last year. From the very start, Marion made her feel totally at home. Her daily routine was the same as she has at home and Marion made sure that Bella’s diet of fresh vegetables and raw chicken was uninterrupted – except perhaps for more treats than usual! Of course, Bella was happy to see mwe on our return, but with more than a backward glance to Marion. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marion to any pet owner – but hope she doesn’t get so booked up she can’t fit Bella in!

Kerry & Bryan of Petstay recently looked after our two labrador dogs whilst we were on a two week holiday. One is a sedate 9 year old and the other a lively 2 year old. This was the first time we had used a Petsitting agency and were a little apprehensive.
Both Kerry and Bryan coped brilliantly with our dogs and provide them with a very caring and loving home environment. We received regular whatsapp message telling us about what they had been up to and they had just a good a holiday as we did!! it was clear that Kerry and Bryan very much loved looking after dogs and we happy to include them in all that they did. We had complete peace of mind whilst we were away and can not recommend them enough.
Petsay were very professional in the booking process and took comprehensive details about our dogs. They paid great attention to the safety and welfare of the animals in their care. As such we are happy to give them and Kerry & Bryan a 5 star rating.

Honestly couldn’t recommend PetStay enough. We have tried other pet sitters before and none have compared to PetStay. Sophia has been brilliant in helping us find the right person to look after our boy, and matched us with a couple of carers, the lady we chose was called Carolyn and she was brilliant with our boy. He was treated like a prince all weekend and was spoiled rotten! (I don’t think he wanted to come home ) Carolyn was very friendly and welcoming when meeting us for the first time and she kept me updated daily on how Dougie was getting on. I will 100% be using PetStay for future holidays

Eddie
Being new dog owners (6 months) we didn’t want to put our retired racing greyhound in kennels in case he thought he was being returned. We heard about Pet Stay through my friend’s mum who is a carer. Although she was not suitable as has small animals, Sophia matched us with Kerry and Bryan who do not have any other animals. Eddie has now had two short stays with Kerry and Bryan and we wouldn’t hesitate to board Eddie with them again. He had a wonderful time, received so much love and attention, in fact they treated him how they would their own dog. They sent us pictures on WhatsApp so we could be reassured that he has having a lovely time. This is so much better than putting a dog in kennels. Eddie can’t wait to have his next PetStay holiday soon!

We got regular updates which included pictures out on walks and generally they put us at easy from the first time we met them, to when we picked him up. It was the first time we’d left our boy so had our concerns leaving him and how he would be without us. They couldn’t of done more and we are sure he enjoyed his time with them! We would 100% recommend PetStay. Thank you

This was the first time I have ever used a service to have a dog looked after and after the weekend’s experience I wouldn’t hesitate again. It was so lovely to have our minds put at rest and know she was happy, settled and well looked after.”

My dog loved her stay and was pleased to see them again we have used them twice now, I had no issues settling Jade when we returned as she had had such a lovely time with them.”

I had never used PetStay before, but from start to finish the experience has been a good one .Minnie went to stay for a week with Jennifer and Don while we went on holiday, I took Minnie along to meet them before the holiday so I could see what they were like and the house where she would be staying and also to see if they all got on which instantly I felt that she would be okay with them as they are such a lovely couple. I took Minnie over on the Saturday and spent a couple of hours with her to let her settle in and then left of course feeling a little apprehensive as this was the first time I had left her, but every day Jenny and Don sent me pictures of Minnie and themselves taking her for walks to lots of different places which I was so pleased with. I would certainly recommend PetStay and particularly would like to say a big thank you Jenny and Don.

Excellent service from Sophia at PetStay, who found two wonderful carers, Jenefer and Don, for my dog whilst I went away on holiday. I had regular updates from Jenefer which in turn gave me peace of mind. My dog had the best of care. Thank you.

Freya
Thank you for looking after my furry baby! A huge thank you to Eleta for looking after my collie for the last two weeks. Freya loves her time with Eleta, and although going on holiday and leaving her behind is always difficult I can always rely on Eleta to look after her as if she were her own dog.

Romeo
Romeo had a lovely holiday with Tanya and Lee and settled in with them really well. He was happy and calm when we picked him up. Thank you for arranging such a lovely stay for Romeo. It’s so nice to relax on holiday without the stress of worrying about one’s beloved pet.

Our labrador had a lovely holiday with Carolyn and Martin in August. We were able to go away relaxed that he would be well taken care of by them. During our holiday we had regular updates with photos of him which was lovely to receive. On picking up, you wouldn’t have known he had been away – v relaxed dog who obviously was very at home with Carolyn and Martin! Also, when first enquiring PetStay were really helpful, impressed with the thoroughness.

A big thank you to PetStay – our springer spaniel Riley stayed with Gerri and Mike for 2 weeks in August and had the most wonderful time – I got regular updates and photos and Riley was in great shape when I picked her up – she had been very well looked after and of course spoilt rotten – Riley is booked to go again soon.

This is the second time we have used PetStay and it is great. CJ our dog was looked after by Eleta this time as the other sitters were already booked. Eleta kept us updated by text and sent photos which was reassuring as it was during the very hot spell of weather he was walked early and late when it was cooler and Eleta kept a fan on for him all the time. , thank you he was well cared for. Lisa and Tim CJ too.

Shadow
Shadow is a black labrador and was just under 10 months when he went to stay with Hilda. He had never stayed away from home before so I was very concerned about leaving him anywhere. I’d been round a couple of kennels and didn’t like what I saw and then a friend suggested PetStay.
It was incredibly easy to sort out when I contacted PetStay and soon had a visit arranged to meet Hilda. As soon as we arrived it felt right and Shadow made himself at home straight away investigating the surroundings and playing with tennis balls. It certainly put my mind at ease.
I was still a bit nervous leaving Shadow for a week but Hilda was so lovely and welcoming that I went away on holiday without any concerns whatsoever. I called Hilda a couple of times when we were away and heard about the things he’d been up to and it meant I could completely relax on holiday. When we returned Shadow had obviously had a lovely time and whenever I go away again I will definitely use PetStay and hopefully Hilda.

Algie
Sue and Toni, plus their lovely Merlin, were wonderful hosts for Algie’s first stay away from us. They looked after him with affection and care and seem to have genuinely enjyoyed having him around. He in turn obviously had a ball. I should be delighted for Algie to spend more time with Sue and Toni.

Bella
From the initial enquiry about a home stay for Bella during our time away to the time we picked her up to bring her home, we felt totally confident that we (and Bella) was in the best of hands. The administration runs like clockwork, with all the necessary checks and familiarisation done without hassle. Best of all, Bella really looked forward to her ‘holiday’ and Jessamy (and Marion) have given her a real home from home. Of course, she was delighted to see us when we collected her, but there was more than a backward glance! Thanks to Sophia for taking such care to match Bella and her carers, and to Jessamy and Marion for taking such good care of her and giving us peace of mind.

Monty
The is the first time I have used PetStay, having previously used traditional kennels when we have been away. I would have no hesitation in recommending PetStay and will certainly be using them again. Lindsay and Mike were fantastic and treated Monty like he was part of the family. I could go away knowing Monty was happy, receiving excellent 1 to 1 care, for a price that was no more expensive than the kennels that we have regularly used. First class service. A very big thanks to Lindsay, Mike and Sophia.

This was the first time that we had ever had to leave our dog Rodney with anyone other than a family member so we were very anxious about it. Sophia set up a meeting with the prospective carers Kerry and Bryan and as soon as we met them our concerns were allayed. They made us and Rodney feel so welcome and obviously had an affinity with dogs, Within minutes Rodney was outside exploring their lovely big back garden while we sat and chatted over a coffee, going over the details and procedure of the stay in a relaxed and friendly manner. Rodney had a wonderful time with Kerry and Bryan and they kept us updated with texts and photos. They took him on lots of walks including a trip to the beach which he loves. We would definitely use Petstay again and recommend them to other dog owners. Next time we book a holiday we will be checking to see if Kerry and Bryan are free!

Desmond
Our dog, Desmond, has stayed with Sophia of PetStay Norfolk on several occasions now, and he always has the best time with her and her dog Mary. Two of Desmond’s stays with Sophia have been longer than two weeks, and it’s clear he feels very at home. Sophia kindly sends me photos, short videos and an update every day, so we feel fully informed of how he’s doing. Other carers that we previously interviewed were people of the generation who don’t use mobile phones, which made us uncomfortable about staying in immediate contact while we were away. Sophia is switched on and responds promptly to any questions we have. She’s also very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviour, but most importantly she is warm and caring toward Desmond. This makes us feel very confident leaving him with PetStay Norfolk when we go on holiday. In fact, his holidays usually turn out better than ours!

Ted & Nell
We’ve had two long weekends away and our dogs were so well looked with Jessamy both times we really don’t worry about them at all. Jessamy goes out of her way to make sure the dogs are comfortable (they never seem like they want to come home when we pick them up so they are obviously happy!). One of the weekends was very hot and Jessamy was getting up at some ungodly hour to walk them in the woods. As ever we are so very lucky to have found someone that looks after our dogs like they are her own. Thank you Jessamy!

Milo
The service I received from PetStay was excellent; I only needed a couple of days for Milo to be looked after and Sophia was extremely helpful and found me a placement the very same day. Milo and I went to meet Jenefer and Don and they made us extremely welcome and Milo took to them straight away. Whilst I was away, Jenefer kept me posted with calls and photographs and I must admit, this having been the first time that I had left him, I felt truly comfortable and confident that he was in very good hands! Would thoroughly recommend and would not hesitate in using this service again.

This is the second time Carolyn has looked after both Toby and Lola and I can’t express how content they look when they are with Carolyn and also how calm they are when we take them home. I really appreciate how Carolyn keeps me updated with how the dogs are and also the sweetest photos I receive. We will continue to use PetStay (Carolyn) as they are extremely trustworthy and most importantly take the best care of our fur babies. Thank you again

Mazi
Sophia found us wonderful carers for our little diabetic dog Mazi, Gerri and Mike. We liked them at once as did Mazi who is a nervous little dog. They are such lovely people and even cooked chicken to go with her diabetic food so she would eat it all. They took her on such lovely walks, using her buggy when necessary. I cannot speak highly enough of the loving care they gave her and all the updates we received. Sophia did a brilliant job at finding them. Mazi will stay with them again in October and we will have no worries at all about leaving her. Thank heavens for PetStay!

This was the first time I had left Binky + Dyl with anyone other than family. Dyl has aggression anxiety and I was worried about leaving him with people he didn’t know but I needn’t have been they both had a fantastic time staying with Jenefer + Don. They understood he’s needs and respected all my requests, it was lovely receiving updates and photos daily about them it really put my mind at ease and I was able to have a nice relaxing holiday knowing that they were happy and being looked after well. I would recommend PetStay 110% and will definitely be using them again. Thank you Jenefer + Don

Max
PetStay were fabulous. I had never left my 10yr old dog Max with anyone other than close friends/family. Max stayed with Lindsey and Mike and had a fantastic holiday himself. Both Lindsey and Mike made me feel very comfortable leaving him with them as they were so loving towards him. Whilst away I received regular texts and photos of how Max was getting on. He had the most wonderful time, lots of walking and playing. I had a very relaxing holiday knowing he was having so much fun and in such safe, loving care. I would highly recommend and am already considering my next holiday. I’m sure Max will be just as pleased at the prospect of another holiday with Lindsey and Mike. Overall a very smooth process, from booking with Sophia, meeting Lindsey and Mike, paying, and the dropping off and picking up.

Muffin
This was Muffin’s first stay away from home. I was anxious but Muffin had a great time. He fitted in well with Kerry and her family. Kerry certainly made him feel part of the family. I was sent regular updates with photo’s. It made me relax on my holiday knowing he was being well looked after. I was really looking forward to seeing Muffin when I collected him. He was playing ball in the garden with Kerry’s son, so much so he didn’t want the distraction of me! I therefore knew he thoroughly enjoyed his stay.

Barney
Just picked up our dog from Joan, one of PetStay Norfolk’s carers and what a wonderful time he’s had! It was lovely to receive pictures of him while we were away and wonderful to see how attached he’d become to Joan while we were away. We were really worried about leaving Barney as he is mostly blind but Joan was able to accommodate his every need and he has really been loved and looked after while we’ve been away. A fantastic, professional service from start to finish and we will definitely be using PetStay Norfolk and Joan again

Bertie
This was the first time we had left Bertie so we were apprehensive of him being away from us but he had a wonderful time with Gwen and Paul. I even had updates on what he was doing. He soon settled in and was happy curled up on the sofa next to Gwen, going for lovely walks and sleeping on Gwen’s bed! I would not hesitate to use PetStay again and, needless to say, it would be with Gwen and Paul. I say to Bertie ‘where’s Gwen?’ and he tilts his head to one side hoping to see her. Gwen and Paul are a lovely couple and a welcoming and friendly home. It was very reassuring to know he was well cared for and treated like one of the family.

We contacted Sophia needing a last minute booking, she was quick to organise everything and we met the carers prior to our drop in day. They received us in their house and met Rupert, we went through a short interview so they knew all of Rupert’s needs. Very flexible drop in and pick up time, our dog had a great time with them so we enjoyed our time away knowing our dog was with great people.

We will definitely use them and PetStay again!

When applying for my dog Ruby’s weekend accommodation with PetStay I had a quick response to my initial phone call. My dog needs constant companionship and it would not be suitable for her to stay in kennels. She stayed with Margaret and Kevin. When the dog and I went along to meet them I could sense their love of dogs which made me feel comfortable for Ruby to stay with them. They sent me messages to let me know she had settled in well and I knew she was happy with them. I would definitely use PetStay in the future.

As soon as we found Kevin and Margaret through PetStay to look after our Blue we have never looked back! If they cannot have our dog we do not go away!!

I can highly recommend them if you want total peace of mind when you go away.

CJ
I never really bother with reviews but I could not let this one go.
My golden retriever CJ has never stayed away with strangers before so I was a bit apprehensive but I needn’t have been as the service I got from Sophia and the care CJ got from Carolyn and Martin was excellent.
What I really like about PetStay is that your dog meets the carers about a week before to get to know each other and the place so that when they go to stay it is familiar to them.
Carolyn and Martin are such a lovely couple, they did a fantastic job in looking after CJ, Carolyn sent us a what’s app everyday and told us what they had been up to.
We won’t hesitate to book CJ in with them again. Thank you”

PetStay provides real peace of mind that Bella, our Golden Retriever, will be looked after as well as if she were at home with us. Their systems are efficient and good value for money. Bella’s carer goes the extra mile – for her its more than a job; she loves having her to stay in her home.

Sherlock my 4.5 year old bichon frisée thoroughly enjoyed his short stay with Aunty Hilda. So now, should our walks take him near Hilda’s house, Sherlock will insist on walking up her drive. Only after promising him he’ll stay with Hilda again that he reluctantly walks on. Therefore, we have booked with Hilda again in March and June. It’s very reassuring that Sherlock is so well looked after whilst we are on our holidays.

This was the best choice we could have made. Myrtle absolutely loved being at pet stay so much so that I think she preferred it to being at home. She had attention all day and long walks to the woods and the beach. I was sent pictures and videos of her having the best time. I will have no worries leaving her for two weeks in the summer. Amazing!!!

Mary
Carolyn looked after Mary while I was away for a few days. She is not the easiest dog, lovely to people but can be reactive to dogs and definitely tries to clear the world from cats, so knowing I can leave her in the capable hands of Carolyn is a big relief. Carolyn sends pictures once a day and give a quick run down of what they did that day. It is great to see Mary totally relaxed after a lovely day.

“I could write a long essay about how grateful I am to have made contact with you but I’ll keep it brief !!!
I explained to you the really bad experience I had with this “so called” dog sitter where my boys were put in the garage and when I picked three up they were clearly distressed!
After being recommended your services and speaking to you about how anxious I felt now leaving my boys, you mentioned one of your careers to me , Jessamy.
Now my boys are young chaps and have heaps of energy and need lots of exercise but they are not bad dogs at all.
We met Jessamy and she and the boys seemed to get on ok.
They had a. Good run around her house so I felt reassured to look at leaving them with Jessamy.
They were dropped off at her house and she made sure all their food, blankets and toys were sorted out.
I was so impressed at how attentive she was to every little detail about them.
When I was away she sent me updates and photos.
They have since stayed again and I am happy to also comment that we have a few more weekends booked in!!!!
Jessamy has been such a lifesaver because they are good boys, they just are young with lots of energy!!
I do like the pet stay policy of keeping dogs in leads at all times when out walking, again this is another professional aspect to a very well run company!!
I cannot thank sophia enough for her time and reassurance and also to Jessamy for looking after the boys and they now have a lovely carer to go stay with.

Quinn
From the very start the service I received was very professional, I spoke to Sophia who was very helpful and she found me a lady called Julie who lived close by and who could have Quinn on the dates I needed. After speaking to Julie we arranged a meet and greet where Quinn got to meet Julie and her 2 french bulldogs Steve and Tinks, we then did a nights sleepover to see how Quinn got on, she was fine so we booked her for my holiday. Julie kept me up to date about how Quinn was getting on with numerous texts, photos and videos and also stuck to my daily regime, walks and feeding times and it was clear to see that Quinn settled in well. I was very impressed with the service I received and I have booked again for another short trip away, unfortunately Julie wasn’t available but they have many people and Sophia found me a lady called Carolyn who we have met with. I highly recommend this company and from the moment I made the call I knew Quinn was the first priority.

We were really pleased with the service provided by PetStay Norfolk. Carolyn and Martin were excellent in their care of our Springador Hannah. They sent us text updates throughout her stay to let us know how she was settling in and kept to her routine so that she felt secure. Hannah’s stay with Carolyn and Martin coincided with Guy Fawkes weekend, so they had the extra challenge of keeping Hannah calm during the fireworks. This they did brilliantly so we have already booked two future sits!

I contacted PetStay with quite short notice before our holiday as I had been let down by a family member and they couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. They straight away let me know of their availability and that they were able to find someone to look after my 2 doggies for 4 days. Another great thing is that the lady who looked after the dogs was just 2 minutes away so they didn’t feel too far from home and it was easy enough to drop and pick them up. We met Carolyn before we went on holiday and the dogs took to her straight away. Carolyn made sure she knew everything she needed to know about the dogs and all checks were done properly which made us feel even more at ease. Me and my partner were unable to drop the dogs off to Carolyn’s as we were on holiday but my mother in law informed me that they went off fine. To put my mind even more at ease Carolyn sent me photos and informed me that the dogs were absolutely fine and they looked incredibly settled in and looked like they felt right at home with Carolyn. When it came to collecting the dogs, I had let Carolyn know that we had a long flight delay and explained how we would be late to pick the dogs up which we felt really bad about. However Carolyn was amazing and completely understood that things like that can happen and said it wasn’t a problem. I informed Carolyn when we were half an hour away from collecting the dogs and she let me know that she had packed all of the dogs bits and bobs ready for collection. The dogs seemed extremely happy and content when we picked them up. I would highly recommend PetStay to anyone as I love the concept of my dogs staying in someone’s home rather than kennels and would like to thank Carolyn for treating the dogs like her own 🙂

It was with great trepidation and anxiety that we arranged for our beloved 6 year old Standard Schnauzer to embark on a PetStay arranged by Sophia with Julie.
Why did we wait 6 years ?? Within 15 minutes after leaving Max we received a photo and text of Max showing him behaving in a jolly manner in the garden. This gave us complete reassurance that he would be cared for perfectly.

Bobby
Pet Stay is absolutely brilliant. Kennels were an absolute no for us as we didn’t want to put Bobby back in an environment he had spent so long in as a puppy. Pet stay paired us with a wonderful lady who has completely spoilt him with attention! He adores people and he has really managed to bond with Carolyn. We received many pictures of him on his day trips including going to the pub and the cafe. It was so nice feeling at ease, knowing your pet is in the best care. I know he must have felt centre of attention, which he loves! Very happy customer 🙂

Ginny
I have just used PetStay for the third time and would definitely recommend them to anyone going on holiday. My dog [Ginny] is always used to having someone around at home so PetStay gives exactly what she is used to, which is constant care and attention. She has had lovely daily walks and I am always updated as to what she has been up to, including photos to keep me involved. Thoroughly recommended. [Sophia, Gerri and Mike]

Freya
Eleta was excellent. When I arrived to pick up Freya after the two week holiday, she was relaxed and clearly had bonded well with Eleta and her family.
Even though she is a distance from my home, I would travel the distance again for peace of mind that Freya was so happy.
Thank you

Marley
From first initial telephone call to assess your dogs needs and personality, to placing you with the most perfect carers we found petstay extremely professional and have your dogs welfare are heart.
Our little man Marley, an 11yr old cocker spaniel, is very dear to our hearts and when we were placed with Kevin and Margaret Gaffney we couldn’t have been more overjoyed.
From the onset Kevin and Margaret put us at our ease, and Marley took to them straight away which put our minds at rest.
Kevin and Margaret care for Marley as if he was there own. The love they have for caring for our precious little boy shines through and they are extremely devoted. Nothing is too much trouble and they are happy to follow any requests however unusual to make Marley feel comfortable and at home.
They give regular updates while you are away to settle your mind and way lay any worries or concerns you may have.
We can leave Marley with Kevin and Margaret knowing he will be thoroughly spoilt and he will be looked after as well if not better than he does at home, and is never stressed when we pick him up.
Thank you so much Kevin and Margaret Marley loves coming to stay is already looking forward to his next holiday.

Dexter
My 9 year-old Rottweiler Dexter has never stayed in kennels he has always been in his own home with a family member moving in to look after him. PetStay ensured that Dexter and I meet the carer and checked his vet records and behaviour traits before we went to the next stage. I appreciate not everyone wants a 9 stone alpha male Rottie to care for hence the trial meeting is so important for all concerned and PetStay ensures everyone meets in the carers home which is fabulous as not many dog sitter accommodate this.
Dexter had a one night trial before we left the UK for 7days probably more for me then him ( ha ha) all I can say he had the best time Carolyn sent me texts as though they were from Dexter also photos which I loved and most of my family did too. We would look forward to them, so thank you for that extra service much appreciated.
On our return I was so apparent Dexter was not stressed completely happy in his surroundings and with Carolyn . I couldn’t ask for more and will use PetStay again and again.

Our boys have stayed with Eleta twice now. On both occasions they could not wait to get out of the car and dashed into her house. It is a home from home for them. We can go away and relax with complete peace of mind.

Tess
We were very happy with Tess’s stay with Carolyn and Martin.
We left our greyhound Tess with Carolyn and Martin whilst we went on holiday from the 15th to the 26th September. We dropped Tess off at their home on the way to the airport and picked her up om the way back. Carolyn and Martin were very flexible and obliging about an early morning drop off and a potentially late evening pick up.
They treated Tess as one of their family, sharing taking her for walks with their daughter; moving her bed and a rug around the their house so she was with them during the evening and letting her use their their garden for sleeps in the sun (one of her favourite pastimes!).
They regularly sent texts and pictures on WhatsApp re-assuring us that Tess was enjoying her stay. On picking her up it was quite clear that she had experienced a great time and was very relaxed and happy. Carolyn and Martin are genuine, nice, dog lovers and we would have no hesitation in leaving Tess with them again.

We are really happy with PetStay. It is very efficient service. This is the second time our dog Rosie has stayed with Jenefer and Don. They are excellent hosts. Rosie was really happy to see them. We feel really relaxed on holiday knowing Rosie is having a good time too. Jenefer and Don text me during her stay with them and send photos of Rosie. It is like a second home to her. Thank you.

Desmond
Our 8-month-old puppy, Desmond, boarded with Sophia, her 2 dogs and family for over 2 weeks while we were on holiday. It was the first time we were away from our puppy for this length of time, and we were a bit nervous leaving him. But Sophia, her 2 dogs and family made Desmond feel right at home, and she took excellent care of him. She kindly sent us photos and short videos every day so we could see Desmond enjoying himself on walks and playing with the other dogs. She took him on several good walks every day and even bathed and groomed him, so he was fresh and clean when we collected him. The only thing is that Desmond is now missing his new doggie friends! We highly recommend Sophia and PetStay Norfolk — and so does Desmond!

Holly
Never having left my cavalier, Holly with anyone but family before, it took me a long time to find what was right for both of us as Holly is quite timid. However I needn’t have worried as Sophia was able to find two excellent, attentive pet carers. Both Jessamy, and Jennifer and Dom have been absolutely superb. I could tell Holly was very comfortable with them as on collecting her she was still happy to be fussed by them and then eager to go into their houses on her second visit. Both sets of carers clearly adore dogs and they went above and beyond to ensure everything was right for Holly. Their reassurance and regular updates allowed me to totally relax when away knowing she was in good hands. Thank you.

Booking process was very simple. It was great to be able to meet the carers and ensure that everyone was happy (carers/myself/my dog) prior to committing. My dog came back happy and relaxed and it was great for myself and my family to receive regular updates and pictures whilst we were away. Will definitely be using again and have already booked another stay.

I cannot recommend Petstay Norfolk highly enough. From the moment of our first enquiries to a very friendly Sophia, who seemed to understand my nerves at the mere enquiry of leaving our dog in a stranger’s house, to the meeting with our potential carers, Jenefer and Don, who are just wonderful. We had never left our King Charles Spaniel before, even though he is 7, and it was now unavoidable with wanting to do children’s things on holidays. Kennels are so impersonal, no matter how small or family-run they are.
From the moment we arrived for the first meeting with our carers, Our dog walked into their house and made it his own, just like we had been there before. After that we had no doubt that this was right for us and he would be well cared for. We received daily messages and photos whilst we were away, which was hugely reassuring, and on picking him up at the end of our holiday, I’m not sure he missed us at all!
We have recommended Petstay to all we know, and would have no hesitation in using them again. 5 ***** all round!

We wanted to thank Carolyn and Martin for taking the best care of our dog while we were away for more than 3 weeks. It was the first time we have used this service as she was only a year old. My son was distraught about going on holiday as he didn’t want to be separated from her but knowing that she was staying at a home and not in kennels helped. As promised, there was at least a photo everyday and it became evident that our dog was having a better holiday than we were! This completely put our mind at ease. Carolyn and Martin were very professional and we would certainly recommend them.

Annie
Annie, our 6 month old puppy, recently stayed with PetStay while we were on holiday. Throughout the booking stage Sophia (the owner) and Eleta (Annie’s carer), explained everything asked lots of questions and took time to get to know Annie. While we were on holiday, Eleta sent us regular updates by text and e-mail about where Annie had been for a walk, other dogs she’d played with and her general puppy antics around the house and garden. When we collected her, it was clear she had been loved and cared for.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use PetStay again in future.

Our dog Darcy had such a good time staying with Sophia and her dogs especially with Mary playing chasing games galore. Sophia sent us lots of interesting pictures of Darcy having fun and texts too. We felt very relieved as Darcy had had a bad experience when staying with a different company. Gwen and Paul also looked after him very well and even took him for a walk three times a day. We think this organisation is great and would definitely recommend its services.

I have just used PetStay for the first time, and had the usual concerns about leaving my dog with strangers. I have found the whole experience amazing. It is run extremely efficiently by Sophia of Norfolk, and once the right carer had been found to suit my dog, had absolute peace of mind. I was sent regular updates whilst away and knew my dog was having a really good stress less happy time too. I have already booked her next holiday.

Our first family holiday since having our beloved boys posed the problem, who can we leave them with. I found PetStay via Google and was relieved to be told they had a carer near where I lived who was available for the dates we were away. From the moment I met Eleta, I knew our boys would be in good hands. The boys jumped onto her lap and promptly fell asleep so there was instant approval from them too. We kept in touch by text and she sent us a lovely video. The boys settled back into their routine at home straight away. I don’t think they missed us at all. I would not hesitate to recommend PetStay for complete peace of mind.

We were able to enjoy our night away, knowing he was being well looked after.

This was Betty’s first ‘big’ stay away from home and I was very anxious about it all. Carolyn was brilliant and reassured me that Betty would be taken care of in my absence. Betty had a great time and I know she was looked after properly. Carolyn and Martin took a lot of time in making her comfortable in the heat. Unfortunately she went to them with an ear infection so ear drops needed to be applied. No problem. The regular updates on Betty were gratefully received. I would definitely leave Betty with Carolyn and Martin again, thoroughly recommend them. Very calm, friendly and conscientious people, perfect for my lively girl.

Our 12 year old cocker spaniel is very used to going into kennels but days before our holiday it was clear that her health would not be good enough for us to leave her in that situation. PetStay came to the rescue on our ophthalmic vets recommendation, and we were relieved to meet Joan who was clearly able to give Molly the care and love that she deserved. Throughout our holiday Joan sent us photos and reassuring messages and this contributed to our enjoyment of our time away. On her return it is clear that Molly is well on the way to recovery. Thank you Joan.

Murphy
We were very apprehensive about leaving Murphy to travel to Italy for our son’s wedding as he is 15 and has never been left with anyone outside the family before. Sophia from Petstay reassured us from the outset that she would be able to find a suitable family for Murphy and suggested Gwen and Paul. When we went to meet them they welcomed Murphy into their home so well that we were able to leave him when we went away with confidence, knowing that he would be well looked after as one of their family. He was well and happy when we went to collect him and we could tell that they had looked after him as if he was their own. Gwen had even sat up in the night to cuddle him when he was feeling upset. We would definitely recommend Petstay to anyone worried about leaving their dog in kennels
Thank you very much for all your help

This was Tara’s first stay with Carolyn and Martin. We were confident on our first meeting with them that Tara would be very well looked after and after returning from our holiday it was obvious this was the case, she was behaving just as she would at home and didn’t seem to have missed us at all. We were sent updates by text which was reassuring and this lovely photo of her enjoying the garden. All information given to Carolyn and Martin was taken on board and acted upon, we would have no hesitation in recommending them or using them again.
Tara is blind and we were worried that it would be difficult to find carers to commit to her but our worries were unfounded, we have used Petstay carers before and they have all been perfect for Tara, this visit being no exception.

Sophia at PetStay Norfolk was fantastic and very helpful in finding Daisy a holiday home. Finding the right carer was extremely important for us. On our first meeting with Julie we felt very confident that Daisy would be looked after well. Julie’s love for animals was very clear and her experience with dogs, especially frenchies, gave us so much confidence. We were away for 9 Days and Julie exceeded our expectations. It is really difficult for us to go away and leave Daisy behind, but Julie was so amazing, updating us regularly about how Daisy was doing and sending us pictures and text to keep us informed. Daisy had lots of playtime and walks and we know she found a home away from home with Julie. We would recommend Julie and PETSTAY to any dog owner.

We had a marvellous time while mum and dad went to see some scary wild animals, mum said some of them looked just like Rodney haha. Christine and Adrian said we had been such good boys and it was a pleasure to have us even if my fluffy bits fell out all over the house!
Many thanks to Petstay and Christine and Adrian for taking such good care of the boys whilst we had a fabulous holiday, it put my mind at ease knowing that they were in safe hands back home, and having a ball too.
This is the second time they have been away with Petstay and I really couldn’t be happier with the people who have looked after them, thank you so much.
All the best.”

Harry
Harry had a wonderful holiday whilst we were away. He was booked into 5 star accommodation in a delightful village in Norfolk and on his arrival Gerri and Mike took him for a walk to explore the countryside.
We re homed Harry at 5 months and he has several food allergies and intolerance’s. Harry was also very anxious at being left for any length of time but he has grown out of that. He is 3 years old now and this is the first time we have felt able to leave him.
Gerri and Mike took him to Cromer by train!! then onto the pier to watch the antiques roadshow being filmed. He behaved impeccably and we are impatiently waiting for the B.B.C to broadcast this episode.
Gerri sent us a text on the first day of our holiday to say how well he had settled in so we would not worry. We just hope that when we are able to book our next holiday Gerri and Mike are not fully booked a year in advance.
From our first visit to Gerri and Mike to introduce Harry to them I knew he would be looked after as if their own.

We are so glad we found PetStay where she is the only dog in the household and keeps to her normal routine. She absolutely loves being with carers and not shut in a kennel. She comes home totally relaxed and we know she loves every minute of care and attention that she receives. We can also go away on holiday knowing that she is happy.”

Jessamy was great, very attentive to how we look after them and keen not to make too many changes to their routine. The dogs were very settled and any anxieties we might have had about leaving them were left behind very quickly. Jessamy sent us photos of the dogs on their walks and even a little video clip of the dogs playing in her garden. We were able to have a relaxing holiday for the first time in nearly two years knowing they were happy! Also knowing that PetStay is a professional organisation that takes their responsibilities seriously gave us a great peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Jessamy and PetStay.”

As this was the first time leaving her with someone else we were unsure how Mira would like it. Sophia and her family were great with our little dog and accepted her as part of their family in no time. Mira felt so happy and well looked after, we could see it from all the pictures Sophia sent us every day. Quickly we knew that Mira was well looked after and even got spoilt with love and attention the whole duration of her stay. – How could she not? With four people and two other lovely dogs to play with? – To sum up, our dog was perfectly well looked after and we would use PetStay Norfolk again! Big thanks to Sophia and her family!”

We were quite nervous as we’ve never left her with anyone unknown to us before and she’s quite a sensitive dog. Jessamy exceeded our expectations. She went out of her way to welcome Jess, gave her lots of exercise and play times. She kept in touch sending us photos and when we took Jess back for her second stay, she was so excited when she realised where we were going and went straight in to Jessamy’s house without any hesitation. Jessamy made a real effort to replicate Jess’ normal routine. I would happily use Jessamy again.”

“This was the first time Harriet and Gypsy had been to stay with Adrian and Christine, with PetStay.
Having had a meeting visit a few months ago, Harriet and Gypsy had no hesitation going in the door on a very snowy morning, the day the snow came down in Norfolk.
Adrian welcomed them in along with their box of tricks, and that was it! Get comfy on the sofa, get out a ball and hold Adrian to ransom for the never ending game of ball ball!
On our return a week later, the girls were so relaxed and chilled out, but hopefully pleased we had come to take them home! They were obviously looked after extremely well, and hopefully Adrian and Christine are happy to have them again in the year when they are booked in.
Highly recommended doggie sitting service”

Sophia was very clear in every way with explaining everything. We had daily updates with pictures and videos which put us at ease. My dog came back so happy she was walked twice a day. Service was amazing my first experience with PetStay home-stay and will 100% use again. Already booking in the next holiday. Very very highly recommended if you’re looking for home-stay. PetStay, Thank you again.’

This was my first time using pet stay. Jessamy was our chosen Carer for my dogs, buster(border terrier x ) and joey (patterdale terrier). Jessamy was friendly and was keen to get to know buster and joey. I was a little unsure how I would feel leaving them with someone new and I didn’t really know, but Jessamy understood and was really reassuring. Buster and Joey stayed with Jessamy for 4 days, during this time I received messages and photos which was great. I felt totally relaxed knowing they were both well looked after. Thank you.

Holly is a 7 year old Terrier Cross who has never faired well in kennels so when I saw an advert for PetStay this looked like a perfect alternate.

The pictures we received whilst away were brilliant and I had no doubt that Holly was in a good pair of hands. We will definitely be using this service again!

I spoke at length to Sophia at quite short notice about my dog who had never been to kennels or a strange dog sitter without his ” doggie brothers” . She was able to take on board all my concerns and place Fudge with an ideal person for him and he clearly had a super time as he wasn’t at all stressed or overly excited by our return.
Can’t thank the joint efforts of Sophia for placing him and Julie for looking after him enough

Buffy
A fantastic a friendly service that stayed true to every promise and then some!
Our dog was introduced to the carer’s animals in an open and neutral space before being taken to the house to check the place out. We talked over every aspect of our animal’s medical and personal history as well as her behaviours. It felt as though our cared really wanted to make our dog part of the family.
During our time away, we received regular updates via WhatsApp showing our dog having a great time and being really well cared for.
All this for a price comparable to the cold, unfriendly kennels we’ve seen but felt uncomfortable using in the past.
Could not have been happier

Sam
When my son picked up Sam from Angeline he wondered if he had picked up the right dog as Angeline said that it was a pleasure to have him and he is very welcomed to go an stay again.
Thank you

Bonnie, Trigger & Buster
We have just come back from a 3 day break, having left our three re-homed dogs Bonnie, Trigger and Buster with Mike and Geri for the first time. They were made very welcome, walked daily and had plenty of exercise playing in the large garden. They were looked after very well even spoilt a little. Mike and Geri are so friendly you couldn’t want anyone better to trust to look after your pets.

Sammy & Cooper
Sammy and Cooper have just come back from their first stay with Kerry at PetStay. They have only ever stayed with family before so we were a little worried how they would get on and whether they would behave themselves. Kerry was very warm and welcoming and the dogs loved her straightaway. Kerry was lovely and kept putting my mind at rest that they were doing fine and behaving themselves, she sent me pictures of them looking very comfy and relaxed on the sofa. The whole process of booking with PetStay was very easy and we couldn’t have been more pleased with how it all went. We’re already trying to sort out our next trip away with the help of Kerry and PetStay.

Charlie & Alfie
Our Dogs, Charlie(aka Naughty) and Alfie have just had their second vacation with Angeline and Stephen in Sprowston. They seemed very happy there with their new pal Sherlock. I am sure they would be happy to stay there again.

Honey & Sophie
Booking up at short notice with PetStay Norfolk, Sophia was very professional in finding the right people to look after our two six year. old sibling sister cockers Honey and Sophie. Kerry and her family in Norwich, were perfect carers for the week we were away in Devon. Made us feel relax on holiday with photos and updates of how the dogs where getting on and pampered them as if they were their own. My wife, being very anxious of how her ‘babies’ where going to be looked after, had her mind put at ease while away.
I highly recommend PetStay Norfolk and Kerry and her family after our experience and will definitely be using the service again.

Hugo & Harry
We used pet stay in Norwich and we are very happy with the service. They are very friendly and professional, our dogs Hugo and Harry absolutely loved their sitter Hilda as she gave them lots of cuddles on the sofa. We would highly recommend this service and we will be using them again especially Hilda.

Barney
We have used PetStay a couple of times now and the service is always excellent. Barney had such a great time and was so well looked after I don’t think he wanted to leave his 2 new mates. Will always use PetStay when we go away.

Honey & Lottie
We would like to thank you on your first class choice of pet carer. Our “Girls” , Honey & Lottie had a wonderful time with Julie, obviously thoroughly spoiled and well looked after. Should we need a pet carer, we would definitely ask for Julie.

Poppy
Poppy really enjoyed meeting Sophia and her 2 dogs a couple of times before her stay, and a visit to Sophia’s home. As owners we were very happy whilst away, knowing Poppy was safe and enjoying herself, and not lonely as she was on a previous kennel experience. We were sent lots of photos of Poppy whilst we were away too. On return Poppy greeted us warmly and Sophia reported back on her stay in detail before we returned home. We will use Pet Stay again in the near future and recommend Pet Stay to all dog owners.

Millie
Sorry this is so late, but I just wanted to say a massive thank you for arranging Millie’s stay with Jane in August. Millie had a brilliant weekend with Jane and sulked for a day when she came home! We are delighted to have found someone so caring to look after Millie. As my family live in Ireland we visit several times during the year and I will definitely be in contact with you in the future to arrange Millie’s care. The service you provide is fantastic.
Please pass on a huge thank you to Jane.

Pixie
I’d just like to say that Adrian and Christine at Long Stratton took great care of our rescue dog Pixie. She was so calm and well behaved when we collected her after 17 days. She was in rescue kennels for 7 months before we found her so we didn’t want her to go through that again.
I would recommend Adrian and Christine as carers and will use Petstay again without doubt.
Thank you Sophia.

Badger
Kerry and her family welcomed Badger into their home, where she had excellent care. Kerry kept us informed by sending us pictures and texts, although we did not ask for these.
We felt very confident that she would be looked after well in our absence.

Bertie & Benji
‘We were apprehensive about leaving our dogs with carers as one them was just a year and half old, with no experience of being away from us. The older dog had bad arthritis so had exercise restrictions and a regime of medication. We shouldn’t have worried. The boys were so chilled out when we came to collect them nearly a week later. They were never left alone and were included in their carers’ living area, even on the couch. Not only did they eat well and exercised well with walks, chasing birds and playing football, but obviously LOVED as well. We couldn’t look after them any better.
As a result, we will be booking them in for more holiday time with their carers, and have no hesitation about recommending this site to any dog owners who love their pets like a family member.’

Happy & Ani
Tanya and Lee looked after our dogs wonderfully. They sent regular photo updates and made the whole process very easy. Both Happy and Ani came home seeming to have been very settled and without any stress so thank you very much for your help at such short notice!

Poppy
We left our 5 month old puppy ‘Poppy’ with Kerry for three very happy days. It was Poppy’s first overnight holiday away from us and we were naturally worried but had absolutely no need to be. Poppy was the only dog in the house and was treated as one of the family- she enjoyed a trip to the beach, lovely walks and visits to the park. From start to finish Kerry was only concerned that Poppy would enjoy her stay and be well looked after- we were left in no doubt that Kerry and her family would look after Poppy as if she were their own. I received updates on how Poppy was doing during her stay. We will use Kerry again in the future without hesitation.

Max
This was the first time we have used PetStay but it certainly wont be the last. Max was very well looked after by Angeline, Steven and Sherlock. They sent us pictures everyday so we could see how happy Max was. We were very pleased with the service and will certainly recommend PetStay to our friends.

Luka
This was Luka’s second stay with Margaret and Kevin. He was very happy and contented, in fact he loved his stay there in their lovely home and beautiful garden. We hope that the next time we are unable to take Luka on holiday with us that he can return there as we know we will not have any concerns about leaving him. Full marks to Margaret and Kevin.

Simba
I’m happy to review our experience of Petstay. “Our dog had a lovely time with his carers, Margaret and Kevin. They have lots of experience with dogs and knew how to help him settle. He seemed very happy and relaxed when we picked him up. Margaret sent me some photos whilst we were away so I could keep up to date with his antics! They were very considerate and happy to follow our dog’s normal routine. Booking through Petstay was easy and it was very reassuring to know that carers are licensed and insured. I would definitely use this service again. 5 stars!”

Tara
Our beloved Jack Russell Tara stayed with Delna in Norfolk for a few days at the end of May. The situation was perfect for Tara who is blind. With a lovely house and garden to play in she soon made herself at home.
The attention she received from the carer couldn’t have been better and she was still the same happy little dog when we picked her up as she was when we left her.
We wouldn’t hesitate to use Petstay again, the service was excellent from the franchisee and they communicated promptly to any queries I had.

Max & Ruby
I was extremely worried & nervous about leaving my beloved fur babies, Max & Ruby, in kennels while we were on holiday. I looked at so many on the internet but couldn’t bear the thought of them in a ‘concrete cell’. Luckily I came across Petstay. It sounded perfect & would stop me worrying on my holidays. The booking process was easy, yet personal.
My dogs got to stay with Jessica. We went for a visit beforehand & they seemed right at home instantly. Jessica kindly agreed to send me photos & updates regularly. They looked like they were having the best time, I was worried they wouldn’t want to come home.
I cannot fault the service at all. I highly recommend Pet stay & will definitely use them again.

Wilby
We have only had friends look after our Welshie Wilby before as he did not like kennels at all and got very stressed. But having found the Petstay website we were delighted to be introduced to a lovely couple who cared for Wilby as if he were there own and he was so calm when we collected him we could see he had had a happy stay which made us very happy too. We would definitely recommend Petstay and thank you to Gerri and Mike. Wilby looks forward to staying with you again very soon!

Dave & Molly
My husband was going into hospital and it was necessary to look for care for our very spoilt and valued dogs. I found Petstay on the internet and from the time I contacted them I was impressed by their professionalism. Immediately I felt I had found the right company. At our introduction to our dog carers we were both immediately reassured that our dogs would be well looked after. Molly and Dave stayed with Margaret and Kevin for 4 nights where they were spoilt and cared for as if they were at home. I cannot praise them enough for the care they have to the dogs and the support they gave to me following my husband’s operation and feel I have made good friends. If you like us and reluctant to put your dogs in Kennels then this is the right service for you. Thank you PetStay

Bella & Bess
Just to let you know how absolutely wonderful your carers were with Bella and Bess last week. I was a little worried when I took them back after the long week away, but their condition was first class and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave them again with PetStay.
Maxine, North Walsham
Alfie
Just wanted to say thanks for looking after Alfie so well. He must have thoroughly enjoyed his stay because he was very depressed about being home for the first 2 days. I think he missed you!
It was really nice to be able to leave him in such a loving home without any worries while we were away. I will definitely use PetStay again. Once again, thank you very much
