I think the idea of kennels is fine for dogs, but cats are more lone wolf than the actual ancestor of the wolf... so this was the perfect solution. The first time we booked with them Louise the founder came round to meet us and the cats, answer any questions we had, and allay any fears. You then choose the number of visits and what sort of time (morning/evening) you have your pet 'sat', or dog walked, fed etc. They spend a good amount of time with your pet, playing with it, feeding it, making sure there are no problems. They even water your plants and leave a little diary so you know how your cat/dog/a.n.other has been while you've been away. We even came home to a pint of milk. I honestly can't praise this company enough, I really can't. Absolutely trustworthy and worth every single penny!!!

We were very reluctant to have someone coming into our home to feed our cat but had no choice as…read moreshe gets too distressed in cattery. We were concerned about the house security (we had just been burgled!) and worried that Lucy our cat would be really lonely and not want to leave the house as mostly likes to go in the garden when we are around. How impressed we were upon our return. Far from being upset and hiding in the house, Lucy wasn't even home! It was 1am but we had to wait over an hour before she came trotting home from her jaunts! She was overjoyed to see us but she was as plump as ever (unlike her return from the cattery) and showed no signs of stress. The notes left by the visitors were detailed and reassuring and showed the level of care that we had hoped for. It also showed the security measures that had been taken on the house. And, the pint of fresh milk in the fridge was a wonderful touch!! Thank you

She sent us photos and videos as requested and we were totally reassured that he was being beautifully cared for, which of course enabled us to enjoy our holiday. Louise was completely practical dealing with some unexpected mice visitors and left the house immaculate. I was rather moved that she had washed the bedding and put it out on the line to dry. So not only did we have a lovely time knowing Bozie was happy but our return home was really nice too.

She was wonderful ..... we met her a couple of months before our trip .... then once more to hand over keys etc. just a day before our holiday. She sent us photos, updates and texts while we were away.

We would DEFINITELY be using VIP's again for future holidays and hopefully Giovanna can look after our cats again. VIP's .... AND Giovanna ...... thank you so so much.

We used Paws for in-home pet sitting (our dog and cat) during my frequent travels while stationed…read morein London, and I couldn't have been more pleased or comfortable with the care of my two guys. Fiddy the cat frequently walks along with Alex, our Airedale Terrier, though Alex needs much more exercise than Fiddy. Our sitters always took Alex to Hyde or Battersea. And we were always updated on how they were doing in our absence. I recommend them for trustworthiness, great animal care, and incredible flexibility, as my travel plans always seemed to change at the last minute. I'm back in the U.S., and of all the things I miss about London, Paws Galore is near the top of the list.

We booked this cattery because others that we'd used previously were already booked when I started…read morethinking about holiday plans. They were great to deal with and got back to us quickly. They offer a pick-up and drop-off service which helps massively. My biggest complaint is that my cat came home smelling like a cigarette. I doubt that it was just a matter of the driver smoking in the car when she was being delivered because the smell is really in her fur. She's been home for nearly 12 hours and it still smells terribly. I never thought to ask whether the cattery was non-smoking! Of course, it's possible that my cat picked up a smoking habit while I was away, but I doubt it. She's just not that type of cat. _____________________________________________ Edited to add: The owners did reach out when they read my review on Yelp. I appreciate this gesture. However, the smell of smoke is very distinct and there is no way it was due to a faulty grooming product. The driver who dropped my cat off also smelled strongly of smoke, so it could have just been from the drive back, but it's hard to believe that a short car ride could cause the smell to be that deep into her fur that it lasted for three days. I think it's important to review the business as I experienced it.

I'm very lucky that I work from home so having a dog is pretty easy for me. I'm also lucky that my…read moremum and dad and couple of friends are happy to help with dog sitting when I go away. Just before Christmas we had booked a short trip to New York and my parents were away but a friend could have Ham but only on the weekend. A person I met in the park recommended Dogvillas for day care, so I had a look on their website to see if they did dog sitting too. Ham is still young so the thought of putting him in kennels is heartbreaking. Dogvillas can either look after your dog at your home or go home with one of their people. Our requirements were quite fiddly so I emailed Jason and he could organise pick up and drop off to suit me and my friend looking after Ham over the weekend. AMAZING! I dropped Ham off at the day care and he was off immediately to play with the other dogs. I was a little upset Ham didn't miss me go, but I was so happy he'd have fun all weekend. My flight back was a bit delayed so when I landed I called ahead to warn them and it was fine. 5 stars all round. Won't be hesitating to book more holidays in future!

HYGIENE ISSUES!!! Unfortunately I did not have the same experience as Jinny. I believe that this is…read moreperhaps because they are now oversubscribed and cannot give their attention to so many dogs at once. My 19 month old bedlington x whippet lurcher is very social and loves to play with other dogs in the park, but it seems that he did not like being in an arch under the railway tracks. He hated the rumbling noise of the trains. Additionally it seems he also did not like being left alone in the rooms with dogs where there were not many comfortable areas to sleep (laminate floors and one small bed on the floor for many dogs). After his morning run, he is a sighthound and therefore sleeps most of the day after he sprints in the park, so he needs somewhere comfy to do that. Perhaps it is slightly better for active dogs. And lastly, after using the overnight service for one night only on a couple of occasions, I did end up going on a business trip and leaving him there for 3 nights (the dog walkers who work for them take the dogs home overnight) and he came back with huge raw sores under his armpits and my friend who collected him was not given his bag of things (rain jacket- it was winter, bed cushion, herbal calming tablets) and they lost his £35 calming pheromone collar which I bought specifically to reduce his stress levels while I was away. They did, to their credit, reimburse me for the collar, but all of the other things they had lost and eventually found were returned to me covered in mouse feces, which was unpleasant to say the least. Again, they laundered them and posted them back to me, but I had already spent 20 minutes getting there to be given my belongings in a state of filth (which I rejected), and then 20 minutes back home for nothing because they had not checked my items before telling me they were ready to collect, so they had to wash them and send them back to me at a later date. I understand that with all of that dog food hanging around, mice might be a problem. But perhaps this calls for the need of industrial kitchen food storage units to keep the hygiene levels a bit higher. My other problem is that the sores under his arms were pretty bad (bloody) and nobody called me or sent me a message to tell me this. Instead my friend who picked him up was the one to inform me. I am guessing they let him sprint with his harness on, which is not a good idea because it is only for walking purposes- otherwise when he runs really fast like a greyhound, it is obviously going to chafe. I would hope that most dog carers/walkers would be aware of this, but it seems they didn't even notice he had an injury from it, which leaves me sad and wondering if they paid any attention to him at all. Needless to say he came back pretty traumatized and I personally would not use their services again.
