PetStay - East Lancs & Bury

“Our dog Stanley stayed with Linda. We chose PetStay because it’s like a home from Home for our dog. We knew he would Be looked after just like as if he was at home in comfortable surroundings. When we picked up Stanley you could just tell he had a great time. I like the updates and pictures sent to keep you updated on how Stanley was doing. I can’t recommend Linda and the team highly enough. If you need somewhere for your dog please call them. They make sure they are in suitable homes and ask all the right questions to ensure your dogs needs are taken care of. We will definitely be using PetStay again! Thank you Linda ”

“We contacted Linda with 3 weeks to go before our holiday and she was so understanding and went out of her way to help us with our little scotty boy 9 months old. Lucky for us a family had just had a cancellation and fitted the dates we needed. We met Peter and Xiaoling and I knew from the moment I walked through the door Radley would love his stay here. I was away for 16 days and daily i would get a report on his adventures , from shopping to a bbq to visiting friends and costa coffee the boy was truly on a very pampered holiday. My lively little pup even came home with a few more manners. He was truly loved like we love him. I would certainly use petstay again and would recommend to all. I can not thank Peter and Xiaoling and Linda for there amazing service. Carry on the great work”

“My husband and I have used petstay twice now while I had to go for overnight stays in hospital and have some resting time afterwards. Linda was very helpful and understanding both times despite the requests being awkward and both carers for our dog were great as they sent photos and updates the whole time which put my mind at rest. We were very worried about leaving our boy with anyone else, (we've never left him with anyone before, not even with family), but it had to be done and now we feel that we can confidently go away on holiday and leave him with the last carer (Jayne) who looked after him as she was absolutely amazing with him and us. It was obvious he had a fantastic time and it was like he got an actual holiday so we didn't feel guilty about leaving him with someone. We would recommend her to everyone and will only be booking a holiday for when she is available to look after our boy!”

“We booked with petstay after reading all about them, we have 2 little furbabies who are treated like babies, we asked Linda to find us someone who would allow them to sleep on their bed coz thats what they do at home, and they didn't like being left alone due to anxiety. She couldn't of found us anyone better than Cath and Dennis Lynch, they was the perfect match for our babies. They treated sidney and benji like their own. Cath sent us daily pictures and messages, we could see how well our boys where being cared for, we couldn't of asked for more they are absolutely brilliant and we have already asked if they'd have them next time we go away. I would highly recommend petstay for anyone's furbabies and especially Cath and Dennis, I just want to say thankyou Linda for finding such a caring beautiful couple for sid and benji we will definitely be booking with them again and again coz they made us feel so at ease leaving our babys with them, our boys have truly fallen in love with them both and we feel we could leave them with Cath and Dennis anytime. Again thankyou petstay xxx”

“Claire and Roger Watson ( from Padiham) provided excellent care for my 2 year old chihuahua Bella. I was initially anxious about leaving her, having never done so before. However Claire’s daily WhatsApp messages and photos reassured me Bella had settled very well. She enjoyed her daily walks with their dog Pudsey. The family treated Bella like a member of their own. Claire had a lovely manner and bond with Bella, I would have no reservations in leaving Bella with Claire and family again. ”

- Anna Blomfield

“Daisy stayed with Anne and Keith in Oswaldtwistle and they were absolutely fantastic. Daisy is a 14 month old Golden Doodle, full of fun and mischief.

Thankyou so much.”

“Dora went to stay with Cath and Denis for 17 days while we went to Cuba. I was very apprehensive about leaving her as she had only been left once for a few days and Dora had been a bit of a nightmare, We went to visit before she stayed with Cath and Denis and they are a lovely couple and some of my worries and concerns were answered immediately upon meeting them. During her stay I received WhatsApp messages and photos showing me how well Dora was settling in and enjoying her holiday which made me feel happy and able to enjoy my holiday. When I went to pick Dora up she was happy to see me but wasn't in a state of panic and was happy sitting between us while we were chatting. I would have no problem and no worries with leaving Dora with Cath and Denis again I feel they loved her as their own as the way they talked about her time spent with them. Thank you PetStay and a huge Thank you to Cath and Denis x”

- Gillian Allen

“We had a wonderful experience with Linda and PetStay in January 2023. Linda went above and beyond to rearrange a carer for our dog Samson when the original carer could no longer have him. Linda kept in touch with us and our emergency contact throughout our holiday so we could relax knowing Sam was in good hands. We decided to extend our holiday and again Linda put our minds at rest arranging extra food for Samson and keeping in touch thank you Linda we will definitely be using PetStay in the future. ”

- Anj and Dom

“I saw Pet Stay advertised, so I decided to give them a ring: Linda was really nice to talk to and you felt immediately like you were chatting to a friend, as she is a very friendly person. The couple Bella stayed with were really nice and looked after her very well. I know she will be looked after through Pet Stay and that she'll get her walks, which she loves and I can go away on a few days holiday and know I don't need to worry, she'll be taken good care of.”

Linda was brilliant, and when I met the carer this continued. I got daily updates on how much Martha was enjoying herself, and I’m pretty sure she would have been happy staying! ”

“Third time I have used Pet Stay now and although our dog Klaus was not with his usual carer the lady he stayed with (Jeanette) was equally as caring and judging by the pictures and whatsapp clips we received he enjoyed the experience just as much. I cannot recommend Linda and her team enough I would not trust anyone else to look after our dog and as I say Klaus is spoilt rotten everytime we go away. Thanks again to all involved at Pet Say you help make our holidays so much more relaxing knowing our dog is being very well looked after. ”

“Can’t thank Linda, at Petstay and our wonderful carers, Ann and Keithenough. Linda quickly found a perfect couple to look after our dog, Pip, who suffers with separation anxiety and can’t be left alone - at all. We had a lovely meet and greet and were immediately put at ease by Ann and Keith, who were so warm and welcoming. We had every confidence that they understood Pip’s needs and were happy to have him. Whilst we were away we received lots of photos of Pip and he was relaxed and content. We were more than happy with the excellent care and affection Ann and Keith gave Pip. He was obviously happy in their company! We would highly recommend PetStay and will definitely ask if Ann and Keith can have Pip again in the future. Thank you everyone, a wonderful service with loving and kind carers. ”

“We cannot rate petstay highly enough. From the first meet to us collecting our Springerpoo Daphne we had an excellent experience. We first made enquiries when Daphne was only 5 months old. We met Claire her sitter and arranged for her to have two sleepovers so that she could get used to the family. Every day for the whole of the holiday we had updates via WhatsApp of what she did that day. Claire and her family were lovely and we hope to use them again the next time we need a sitter. Thank you Linda for putting us in touch with her. ”

- Marie

“Claire, Chris & family have been absolutely superb in every way. We were very nervous at leaving our Goldador, Milo as he is always with us and is very attached! We cannot thank them enough as every step of the way they have looked after him with such great care, kindness and understanding. Dogs like humans can be anxious being away from home and they went out of their way to make sure he had his home comforts and cuddles. He soon got more confident and we were sent fab pictures of him lolling on their sofa and playing with his new friend Astral! Milo has a second home - cannot thank you enough; you're amazing : )”

- Anne & Mark

“Linda at Pet Stay organised for our Cockapoo Biscuit to stay with Cherri in Haslingden for 15 days.

I think he had a better holiday than I did! I wouldn't hesitate to use Pet Stay again.”

My 5 year Old Westie George stayed with Peter and Xiaoling along with their doggie Tom. They were fantastic with Georgie from the first time they met him, I knew there and then that he would be OK with them. I was regularly kept up to date with pics and videos and I could tell he was settled. George was settled from day 1, ate everything he was given slept all night and got on great with little Tom.

Her usual career for our area was unavailable and Linda herself said she would take him. We met Linda for a walk so she could get to meet Chester and he was very happy with her. We got to see where Chester would be staying and very quickly he felt at home. It was the first time we had left Chester and I can honestly say I wasn't worried at all I knew he was in good hands. Chester settled in very quickly and we got daily updates, even photos. When picked him up he was very calm and relaxed and looked to have enjoyed his little holiday. Thank you Linda for taking such good care of our boy, we will definitely be using Pet stay again for any future holidays.”

“We have never left any dog with someone who is not family or friend so we had a feeling of great trepidation, the thought of leaving your precious girl with total strangers. But within minutes of our meeting with Tracy and Phil we were reassured that Willow would be taken good care of. When we dropped her off for her stay, she pulled my husband into their house! So we knew that she would be happy there. We were sent daily messages, photos and videos so that we could see that she was having a brilliant time and she made a new friend with their dog Millie. She also loved Millie’s bed, as we were sent a few photos of her sleeping in it. So now we have to buy her a bed just like Millie’s! We would have no hesitation in recommending Linda at Petstay and especially Tracy and Phil, a big thank you for making Willow’s stay such a relaxing experience for us all. Hopefully you will be able to have her stay the next time we go away. ”

Well done and we will be in touch in the future to use this excellent service again - thank you so much x”

Billy had a great time and we had a stress free vacation. Would highly recommend this service.”

- Noeleen

“Our dog had always been ok in kennels but now she is getting old the last time she went in she was very stressed. She also doesn't like other dogs so I was worried about the home boarder being able to handle her because of this. The home boarder was brilliant, she was happy to accommodate our pampered pooch and messaged me if she had any worries while we were away. ”

- Trudy Jones

“This is the first time we have used this service and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Ann and Peter were the carers for the weekend and couldn't have been better for Hamilton our miniature doodle. They played with him all weekend and totally made him feel welcome and at home. He loved every second and came home tired and happy. I would really recommend Pet Stay as it is a home from home for your dog.”

Linda introduced us via Petstay & from the first few minutes we knew that Judith was the right person to take my boy. Judith was knowledgeable, kind, caring & firm.

I would recommend Petstay & Judith to all dog owners.”

“My two dogs Alfie and Charlie recently stayed with Brian and Ian for 2 weeks. We got to meet them with the dogs prior to making the booking, this put us at ease as we could see where the dogs would be staying and meet the hosts in person. From the moment we met them you could tell that they clearly enjoyed looking after these pets. Througout our holiday we got regular updates and pictures via whatsapp, this put our mind at rest knowing they had settled well. Brian and Ian treated them like their own dogs, I couldn't have asked for better hosts. Linda was very helpful when I first contacted her, she made the process very easy and matched my dogs to hosts that were appropriate for them, there big dogs and need lots of exercise ! Would absolutely use them again and would highly recommend to family and friends. Thank you for taking such good care of our pets x Debbie and Matt ”

When we collected him it was obvious that he had been very well looked after and properly fed and exercised. We were sent almost daily pictures of him with Brian and Ian, often on trips out to parks and doggy friendly cafe's etc. accompanied with their very patient Schnauzer, Lucy. It made a HUGE difference to our own holiday to know that Percy was being so well cared for. We cannot thank Linda, Brian and Ian enough!! We have just booked him back in for 20 days in Autumn. Look out Lucy! :-)”

“Have used Pet Stay twice now for our Siberian Husky and would highly recommend. Both homes have been perfect for our dog (who is now too old for kennels). In particular we like how we get to go and visit the home with our dog first. Booking is really easy and communication with the carer is great whilst we were away. Would highly recommend. ”

- Ruth Cull

“We never hesitate to use Petstay for Truffles when we go on holiday. We can relax knowing that our lovely dog is well cared for and spoiled by her holiday parents just as we do at home.”

“We were really happy with Petstay and would highly recommend! Linda put us in contact with Joy really quickly and everything was sorted out without any hassle.Our black Labrador Freddy had a great time, I don't think he wanted to come home. Joy kept us updated with photos, messages and videos and we didn't worry about him at all whilst we were away as we could see he was being taken great care of. Joy was absolutely brilliant and we'll definitely be booking him in again next time we go away. Thanks! ”

“Max has had his third stay with Caroline in Darwen, when we arrived he was so happy and excited to see Caroline again he settled in straight away. We know Max is in safe hands with Caroline and he is well cared for and had lots of walks and cuddles. Max enjoys his holiday just as much as we do and Caroline sent us some lovely photos and updates. Thank you Caroline and Petstay , we will definitely be booking Max a holiday again. ”

“Petstay have been great. We contacted them to have our 12 year old dog pip looked after whilst we got married we had been let down by another service.Linda sorted us out a sitter for Pip who is nervous with new people. The first careers fell through due to a tragic event in their lives. Linda rearranged for us to do another meet up visit with new carers which was successful. Pip stayed with Judith and John and their two staffi girls she was so settled and calm when we collected her. Judith messaged me during the stay as she knew how worried I was letting me know that pip was ok. It was such a success that we have already booked pip back in with Judith and John. Thank you to you all. Sue Andy and Pip xx x🐶”

“A big thank you to Keith and Anne for taking such wonderful care of our very much loved dog Matilda. This was the first time we have left her in 7 years with anyone other than family so we were understandably a little nervous but we need not have worried. The love and affection Keith and Anne showed Matilda was much appreciated by both us and Matilda. We couldn't have asked for anything more and are really greatful to them and would thoroughly recommend both them and the PetStay service.”

“We used PetStay for the first time recently and have booked in for another week, we will be able to go on holiday and feel at ease leaving our Border Collie Ben with Judith one of Linda's carers. On the initial meeting it was great to see Judith with her own dogs, they were very friendly and welcomed Ben into their home, even sharing their toys with him! I would recommend PetStay to all dog owners as a kinder alternative to kennels. ”

- Alex & Hannah Smith

“Bella the black Labrador always comes back from a Pet Stay visit happy and looking well groomed and cared for. Linda goes the extra mile to find suitable carers for her and we have been very happy with Pet Stay over the last few years. ”

- Kate Willis

“I can thoroughly recommend this service. It was the first time we had left our dogs with somebody who wasn't a family member. It was obvious that my two dogs had been well cared for and they showed no signs of distress when we picked them up It is so reassuring to know that they are being looked after in someone's home rather than being kennelled. What a wonderful service. I won't hesitate to use it again Marilyn Hedges ”

“Third visit for our 2 dogs to Ian and Caron and I can't praise them highly enough. They are determined to follow the dogs normal routine to the extent of having their crates in their bedroom as we do at home. The dogs were so pleased to see them again and ran straight in. They were not at all bothered when we left and we could tell that they had very well cared for when we picked them up. Ian and Caron clearly love welcoming dogs into their home and it makes us feel that we can enjoy our holidays without worrying about their wellbeing. Already booked twice for 2017!”

- Claudine McSorlet

“Very impressed with the service and care provided for our dog George whilst we were away. We enjoyed our holiday so much more knowing that he was being wonderfully cared for.

“My cairn terrier, Murphy, had a wonderful time with Kris and Steve while we were away. We had some updates sent over and when we picked him up he barely realised we had arrived he was enjoying himself so much. I am so happy with how well he was treated and how relaxed Murphy was the whole way through. I will definitely be using them again.”

- Nicole Burnett

“I can't recommend pet stay enough.. my beautiful fur baby Ruby went to stay with the lovely Isabel from Clitheroe. I had to leave her for 2 whole weeks for the very first time. She was spoilt and had an amazing time.. Isabel was just lovely..a massive 10/10! ”

“we have just been on holiday and our dog stayed with Anne & Keith, they are amazing carers and Coco was more than at home, they treated him just like there own which is what you want when leaving your beloved pet with someone, we had a wonderful holiday knowing that Coco was safe, happy and being well looked after. Would highly recommend using Petstay the best decision we have made - I have booked my next years holidays in to make sure he can be cared for by Anne & Keith again. thanks again Jackie& Paul”

- Jackie Travis

“Rolo is an elderly dog and was so ill with stress after his last kennel stay we needed an alternative. Pet stay proved a brilliant solution. Rolo stayed 2 weeks with Maureen in Blackburn and was spoiled rotten. He came home relaxed and happy. I wish we had discovered this service earlier.”

- Lesley Kennedy

“Miah had all home comforts during her stay with Olwen and Rochelle. I had peace of mind, and on my return, could see Miah was happy with her stay.”

- Eileen Webster

“This is the first time I have left my pooch with anyone other than family or friends. I have to say that Joy was absolutely fantastic and really looked after Ozzi, so much so I have had a sulky dog since she came home. I was a little worried due to my dog being blind and having lots of allergies but this didn't phase Joy at all and there were no problems. The whole booking process was straight forward and the meet and greet appointment does put your mind at ease. I will definitely use this Petsyay again.”

- Anne

“Would definitely recommend PetStay. Our Ludo isn't happy in kennels so we tried PetStay (Debi) for a recent weekend stay. Had a pre-meet to make sure everything would be fine. After the weekend you could tell Ludo had a great time and felt really at home with Debi. We so felt so much better leaving him this time and would definitely have Ludo stay there again.”

- Kitty Millard

“We highly recommend Pet Stay who put us in touch with Caroline from Darwen. She had our girls Dizzy and Jazz for a week, and we can honestly say she was brilliant with them and made us feel at ease when we saw how she interacted with them. She gave us daily updates and sent photos of them enjoying their holiday, which gave us peace of mind and enabled us to enjoy ours. We would like to say a big THANK YOU to Caroline and Linda at Pet Stay for their great service.”

- Pam and Darren Mills

“This is the best service ever! I would highly recommend Pet Stay. Our carers, Ian and Caron, are absolutely amazing; they are so loving with our dogs and our dogs adore them. Our dogs truly had a holiday and even had holiday blues for a couple of days after we collected them! We will definitely be using Pet Stay from now on and in fact, have booked two further sets of dates this year and two more in 2017. Linda at Pet Stay is fantastic - she can't do enough for you. This is the first time we have ever felt totally at ease leaving our dogs. Thank you all so much x”

- Anna and Keith

“My dog Ellie is an old lady and I have been reticent about leaving her with anyone whilst we are away. However, Ellie has stayed with Isabel twice and once with Joy and Lance. Both carers have been brilliant and Ellie has come back rejuvenated. Thanks to all. I would most definitely recommend Petstay as you can "vet" the carers before you commit to letting them look after your dog.”

- Janet

“Really pleased with Jennie who has looked after our dog Chester twice recently, a weekend and then for two weeks while we were on holiday. Had no worries at all leaving him as could tell she loved dogs and would look after him well, maybe even having more attention than he does at home. Jennie is a very friendly person who gave Chester lots of loving care and I think he was sorry to leave her. Linda was very helpful arranging our stay and I would be pleased to use the service again.”

- Anne

“Missy experienced a true home from home for the four weeks she was away on her holiday with Ian and Caron. We received regular messages, updates and photos which ensured we could relax on our holiday knowing an important part of our family was having a great time. The moment I saw her after such an extended separation I knew she was very happy, healthy and relaxed and content to be home again. Thank you for taking such great care of her.”

- Sarah Drake

“Thank you both very much Yvonne and Gerard, for taking such good care of me whilst my mum and dad took a short break. I really enjoyed myself with constant cuddles and lots of love. I enjoyed meeting your daughter and her family too. It really was a home from home and if my mum and dad ever leave me again, I know I will be in very good hands! Missing you. Thank you, Brenda B X ”

- Brenda Beagle

“Would recommend without a shadow of doubt first class George loved it and i am sure he will be back, many thanks Paul and George xx”

“Max was a very lucky puppy when Linda matched us with Caroline in Darwen she looked after him as if he were her own. She sent us updates and pictures whilst we were away which was very reassuring that he had settled in . When we picked Max up he had been well cared for he was happy and he had grown in the two weeks we were away. We have already booked Max in to stay with Caroline again. We would highly recommend Caroline and PetStay .”

- Cath and Jeff

“We've used PetStay several times now for Maddie and have always been very happy with the service provided. Maddie is always well cared for and has now stayed a few times with a carer very local to us. Maddie is a very boisterous, energetic dog (due to breed and age) but the carer manages very well. Maddie is always happy and excited and enjoys the company of the carer's own dogs. We have no hesitation in making arrangements again in the future through PetStay.”

- Louise Witts

“Got the best service once again! My dog was ill while I was away. Linda and her cares treated my dog like their own. She took her to hospital and looked after her in the best way possible.I really appreciate all ur help! Many thanks! ”

“Absolutely delighted with Milly and Molly's stay at pet stay.went on holiday for 11 days and Milly and Molly went to stay with Ryan Bennett_coupe of Rawtenstall.Not only did Ryan look after my 2 little borders but mum Michelle,dad Richard and Grandma also played a part in their care. It really was home from home for them and really had been taken care of . Was a bit apprehensive about leaving them as never had before but needn't have worried.while away got regular txt and photos off Ryan. Went to collect them on my arrival home and my dogs weren't bothered about coming home. I think that the care that Ryan and his family provided to my dogs while I was away was second to non.Well done to Ryan and family for a job well done we think your all brilliant and would not hesitate to leave Molly and Milly again.”

- Rachael farrelly

“We contacted Linda at Pet stay after a recommendation by a friend who was regularly using this service and was most pleased with the care his dogs had received whilst he was on holiday. Linda quickly found a carer who was willing to look after my dog and arranged a meeting. The carers were lovely, most welcoming and keen to provide my pet with a happy experience whilst we enjoyed our holiday. We returned from holiday and collected our dog, he seemed very at home and relaxed and thoroughly looked like he had really enjoyed his stay. His coat was soft and shiny and he had not lost any weight - a far cry from the usual state he comes home from the kennels. So very pleased with the service received cannot recommend enough will definitely be using Pet Stay every time we go away. Thank you ”
