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

Hello, we are Sue and Simon Jennings the proud owners of the West Midlands North and South Staffs 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 and as we understand the effort and love owners put into the training and care of their dogs and from personal experience, I 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. Its 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

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!

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.

Dotty

September 2025

I have been using PetStay for a couple of years now and my little dog Dotty has stayed with Wendy each time. Wendy has gone out of her way to make to make Dotty feel at home and keeping me up to date with daily photos to put my mind at rest. Couldn’t recommend Wendy and PetStay enough, they are brilliant.

Christine

Tilly

September 2025

This is the first time we have left Tilly with strangers. But we feel she fitted in really well and didn’t want to come home. We would recommend PetStay as they take in to account all your pets needs.

Stephanie

Keano

September 2025

We were very nervous leaving our dog for the first time. Jo and Derek I knew would be amazing with him as soon as I met them. They treated our
dog like a member of their family and they gave him such an amazing week. I was sent photos and updates daily of him. No ask was too big!
They were brilliant and even now when I say their names his head tilts with excitement. I would not hesitate to use them again if we ever needed it.

Kirsty

Milo

September 2025

We had a brilliant experience using PetStay for the first time. We were able to book in quite last minute which was great. Our Milo stayed with Joyce. I can’t thank Joyce enough for the love and care she showed Milo and the updates for us. I think he had a great holiday and we will definitely use again!

Holly

Arthur

July 2025

We have used West Midlands PetStay about 4 or 5 times now for our cockapoo. The booking process is straightforward and clear and prices seem to compare favourably. We have used the same host, Ellen, who is lovely. Arthur is always happy to go to her and is his normal self when he comes back, not clingy or unsettled. I see this as a positive thing, that he has felt well-cared for whilst we have been away. Ellen sends us updates every day, which is reassuring and lovely to see him enjoying walks and cuddles.

SA

Alfie & Grace

July 2025

I’ve used PetStay for 9 years in the West Midlands always had the same couple Roger and Gill, lovely couple you can see the love and caring from them as soon as I pull outside the home I couldn’t ask for anymore off them I know they give 100% and more.

Diane

Bow

July 2025

Our lovely girl Bow had another wonderful 2 week stay with June. It really is home from home for her. A big thank to June, Barry and all at PetStay for the service provided

Kath

Athena

July 2025

Maggie took great care of our little dog, Athena. It was her first time away from us so we were nervous as to how she would settle but Maggie took time to settle her in and give her lots of attention. It was a very hot few days and extra care was taken, with use of fans and towels on the patio to ensure Athena did not get over heated or hurt her paws on hot slabs. I would be very happy for Athena to stay there again and it is lovely to know that Athena has been so well looked after.

Toni

Elvis

May 2025

First time we have used PetStay for our Cockapoo. We had a visit beforehand to meet the family and felt very comfortable about leaving Elvis. While we were away we received updates and photos from Ellen. Will definitely use again.

Rachel

Winnie

May 2025

We have used PetStay quite a few times now, and always ask for the same sitter as they love our dog as much as we do! Winnie is always so well looked after and we don’t worry about her at all whilst we are away. In fact, she’s rather disappointed when she comes home to no walks in Sutton Park every day and no sofa snuggles!!!

Hannah

Woody

May 2025

They get 5 star plus from us . Woody was content and happy with Sue . They are number one choice . They kept us informed that he was OK plus photo. Thank you .thank you PetStay.

CJ

Bow

May 2025

Once again excellent service. Sue with the admin and June and Barry for the care they give to Bow in their care. It really is like home from home and she loves going.

Kathleen

Fergal

May 2025

Fantastic service from start to finish. We always use PetStay for our Dachshund and have had several different carers over the past few years.

They have all cared for Fergal like their own, sending updates and pictures and treating him like their own. Margaret and Paul (Fergal’s most recent stay) are absolutely wonderful with him and Fergal never wants to come home after! They are so caring and do everything to maintain his routine, sending lots of updates and giving him a safe and secure home from home. Can’t recommend them enough, absolutely 5 star.

Kate

Penny

May 2025

We recently went on holiday and left our beloved Penny, our little Pomeranian, in the care of Sue and Simon at PetStay — and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went. From the very first meeting, they were kind, professional, and clearly experienced with small breeds. Penny took to them straight away, which instantly put our minds at ease. Throughout our time away, Sue and Simon kept us updated with lovely photos and messages, showing Penny out on walks, enjoying cuddles, and making herself quite at home. It was obvious she was being cared for as one of their own. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog said it all. We’re so grateful to Sue and Simon for treating Penny like family — we wouldn’t hesitate to use PetStay again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet carers.

Thank you so much!

Carol

Meeka

November 2022

I was worried about leaving Meeka as he has only been away from family members once in 12 years. I didn’t need to have been, Sharon and her family treated him as one of the family allowing in into their home including on the bed😀 lovely walks with their lovely dogs. Thank you.

Katie

September 2022

We are very happy with the service we received from PetStay. We are very happy with the care that Sally gave the dogs. We plan to use PetStay again.

Monty

March 2022
Our 2 year old Shihpoo Monty had a great 12 day holiday with Janet. It was the first time we had left him and receiving photos of him out and about as well as relaxing on his back with legs in the air let us know that he was safe and well cared for. Would definitely use the service again. Many thanks Simon, Sue and Janet. Maureen

Alison

March 2022

Our 8 month black lab had his first stay with a PetStay carer in South Birmingham last weekend. We were delighted with the service from the initial really helpful contact, through meeting a prospective carer and finally our dog’s obviously very happy experience while we were away. It really was a home from home for him and we would highly recommend PetStay.

Alfie

November 2021

We recently booked a week’s stay with a lovely lady called Hayley through PetStay’s Sue and Simon. Our puppy is very sociable but does have some health issues. Cannot praise Hayley enough – our Alfie had the best time, bonded well with Hayley’s little pooch and, just as importantly, received the best of care, had lots of play and walks and an abundance of cuddles! Thank you so much Hayley.

Debbie

Freddie

September 2021

Never left our dog before this holiday but had no option, contacted PetStay they were efficient and totally put our minds at rest. Our dog boarder was Donna such a lovely caring person made our break so much better knowing Freddie was in such a loving home while we were away.

Lesley

Blaise

September 2021

We have picked up Blaise today after spending 10 wonderful days with Julia and Sue.

They both made sure Blaise was well taken care of whilst we were on holiday. We received regular updates which really put our mind at ease.
