What Our Customers Say About Pets Homes & Gardens

“This was the first time that I used a pet sitter when I went on holiday. I haven’t left my pets for so long in over 2 years and since losing one of my cats. Chris was extremely understanding to my anxiety and worries about having to leave them for 8 days. He was brilliant, he spent time with my cats and even tried to get them to get used to him on daily basis. I got pictures and regular messages too. I was and still am very happy with his service and have already recommended him to my friends. I will definitely be booking him again in the future.”

“Chris has been amazing over the last 6 years looking after our dog Barney he absolutely loves him to bits and always gets excited when he sees Chris. Chris is a highly motivated pet care worker I cannot recommend him enough as he actually cares about your pet and looks after them as you would care for them yourself. I’ve felt I can leave my dogs in his care as I trust him 100%. Chris is reliable, dedicated and organised and goes above and beyond his role as a Pet sitter. Recently I have taken another dog on called Aggie since February and Chris has been walking the both of them since the end of lock down two to three times a week. This has helped me tremendously and the dogs love to go out with him on 40 minutes walks. I would like to say Thank you very much Chris for all you’re generosity over the last 6 years and this will carry on for much longer due to you’re professional way of running you’re business. I would strongly recommend this service as Chris is so hardworking and loyal to his customers.”

“We needed a dog walker for our bulldog George whilst we were on holiday and Chris has provided an outstanding service from the start. We have never used a dog walker before so we were a bit apprehensive but Chris put us at ease and we knew our dog was in good hands. Whilst on holiday we even received updates and photos! I can’t recommend Chris highly enough!”
Danielle Sutcliffe, May 2018
“Chris is a brilliant dog minder. I have no qualms to leave my two little pooches again. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals and Chris does. We are so pleased that we know our two will be well looked after and cared for so we booked them in again for next year. It’s a weight off our mind that we found someone like Chris to look after them.He keeps in touch to let u know how they are too which is very reassuring by texts and pics. Brilliant!”

“Toby has been with Chris since he was a teeny pup, my only regret is that we didn’t know of him sooner! Can always rely on Chris & Nicole to squeeze Toby in and to take good care of him. Toby runs to the door and can’t wait to get in. He always comes home from his stays absolutely shattered. Chris walks Toby daily and goes the extra mile, he’s always on time and in over 2 years has never once let us down. We always get an update on how Toby has been during the week and what he’s been up to which is lovely! Can’t recommend Chris enough! Don’t know what Toby would do without you…thank u!! Xx”
Laura Reed, July 2017
“My Labrador Teddy has been going here since he was 10 weeks old (he’s now 6 months) absolutely loves it, he’s there 3 times a week and comes home tired, it’s been great for him to socialise with the other dogs and animals. He’s also stayed over when we have been on holiday, I get peace of mind he’s in very good hands and Teddy enjoys himself too.”
Debra Woodrow, July 2017
“My dog has been coming here for over a year, he’s there most weekdays. He absolutely loves it! I can’t recommend highly enough!”
David Boddy, January 2017
“My two cats are so content being looked after in their own home and we can go away with absolute peace of mind knowing that they will be well cared for. Email update every day to let us know how they are doing. So glad we found Chris and would 100% highly recommend his services.”
Helen Smith, June 2016
“Great service & great guy…. My 2 GSD’s loved their stay with Chris & the gang….. highly recommend his services”
Trish Foster, October 2015
“We use Chris’ services for both regular dog walking and for holiday boarding. We are delighted with the service provided and more importantly our dog Dexter absolutely loves it. We are pretty sure he’d rather stay at Chris’ than come home! Dexter is a Newfoundland and needs regular exercise that we were struggling to provide due to work commitments and Chris’ involvement has really taken the pressure off and helped us keep Dexter happy and healthy. The fact that Dexter is a big dog, weighing around 7 stone, might put some off but Chris has no issue with that at all. We have no hesitation in recommending Chris and his company.”
Nicola and Jonathan Fletcher, July 2015
“Chris looked after our 2 cats while we were recently on holiday. We couldn’t be happier with the service he provided and felt 100% confident that our cats were getting the best possible care. Chris even supplied daily pictures of them just to put us at ease. We look forward to using your service’s again soon!”
Ben & Sara H, June 2015
