EXCELLENT Based on 202 reviews Mandy Tyler2024-12-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First for pets have always been reliable and professional. They take such good care of my fur baby when I’m away. It gives me peace of mind as I trust they will be there if I’m delayed. All the pet carers are lovely and genuinely love animals. Would highly recommend using them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Julie Stevenson2024-12-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First class service from Donna and Jeff for both our cats whilst we were away. Munchkin was a special case as he had to receive two insulin injections daily but they handled this with ease. The WhatsApp updates were wonderful and so reassuring. Would highly recommend Gareth Stewart2024-12-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional in every aspect. We have never left our dog overnight in 4 years with anyone other than immediate family ; when we picked her up today, we had to beg her to come home. Never seen so happy. The communication was exceptional and the online booking system was so simple and yet detailed, showing the level of care. This is not their first rodeo; these guys know how to do this well. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. And as someone with OCD, I was overjoyed to see her home so clean. Thank you again; we could not be happier with the care and love you gave our girl and thank you for the constant updates and photos. We shall see you again soon. Lucy Kingsbury2024-12-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service and amazing people. We can't thank Jeff enough for helping us get through a really heartbreaking time. On the morning that we knew our beautiful beloved Boo Boo would say his final goodnight to us, I called Jeff to ask how we'd arrange an individual cremation. I naturally got upset on the phone, Jeff was kind and extremely patient with me and allowed me to take my time. When the time came Jeff collected Boo Boo from us and we knew that we were leaving him in safe hands. I cannot recommend First for Pets highly enough. The sheer sympathy and more importantly respect they showed meant everything to us. Thank you x P2024-12-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We’ve used First for Pets for the last 6 months or so, to look after our dog and diabetic cat when we’ve needed to be out somewhere, sometimes at short notice. They’ve been brilliant for us, having local experts who have experience in our pets’ needs. Adam Darke2024-11-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service. Sharon followed instructions for looking after our pets perfectly. She also kept us updated with messages and pictures. Katie Griffin2024-11-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been using First for Pets since our dog was a puppy, and the service is always brilliant. Donna is really responsive and co-ordinates with our lovely dog carer Sharon. Our dog feels really comfortable at Sharon’s and she is great at keeping our dog entertained, well exercised and keeping us updated throughout his stay there with pictures and messages. We will continue to use First for Pets and Sharon for home boarding. Highly recommend! Teah Askey2024-11-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can not find any fault with these amazing people. The daily updates and reassurance that my little Tori is being well cared for and is very happy staying in her own home is honestly the best feeling. I never worry that something will be missed and if anything ever did go wrong I know it would be told to me immediately and dealt with as best as possible until I could return. You can tell the individuals,in our case the amazing Andrea, actually care and enjoy spending time with your pet. The amount of love and care put into each visit is obvious and how happy our lovely Tori is when we return just shows the fact that having a cat sitter instead of a cattery is the best decision and I'm really glad we found First For Pets as they are simply fantastic. As the photos show one very happy little girl with her friend visiting daily TheStuartReeves2024-10-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have taken far too long to post this review; however, any dog owner I’ve spoken to over the past two years will have heard me heap praise on the 'First for Pets' team and recommend them without hesitation. Like most pet owners, our dogs are not just 'pets'—they are family. We have two rescue dogs, both of whom have 'quirks' and insecurities, particularly regarding being left alone. We tried for months to find suitable accommodation for them to stay in if we ever needed an overnight or short stay. We visited various kennels, including luxury ones, and also considered having someone stay at our property, but we struggled to find anyone we trusted enough to care for our beloved dogs. That was until we were recommended to 'First for Pets.' From our very first meeting, we knew that Donna, Jeff, Tess, and the team were the superheroes we had been looking for. It's clear they care passionately about the welfare of the animals they look after and that they make sure we (overzealous) owners leave knowing our dogs are in the most capable hands. The setting is lovely—very secure (a major priority for us!) and with plenty of space for the dogs to run around. The procedures the team has in place to keep the dogs safe put even the most anxious owners (me!) at ease, ensuring there is no chance of escape. The care the dogs receive in their company is truly amazing and reassuring. Donna is wonderful in raising any issues and will diligently review every aspect of their stay. The processes before the stay are VERY thorough, such as confirming every vaccination is up-to-date, noting any special needs, and listing feeding requirements. Donna will even raise concerns if she feels the food may be unsuitable or the portion size too much, which, again, is a testament to the care and attention they provide. The team will also double-check these details when you arrive and rightly address any concerns they may have. I don’t make recommendations lightly, especially when it comes to pets, as I know just how much they mean to their owners. However, I could not recommend Donna, Jeff, Tess, and the team at 'First for Pets' more strongly. Over the last two years, they have provided a flawless service, made two of the most anxious dog owners feel incredibly comfortable, and left our dogs VERY happy with every single stay. You simply couldn’t find better.
