EXCELLENT Based on 202 reviews Dawn Ingram2025-03-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An extremely robust, dedicated team of animal loving professionals. I feel totally confident in everyone to care and keep my dog safe. It is clear to me that the team have mutual respect and transparency which supports each other and clients. Lovely friendly compassionate people with a healthy dose of humour. Money well spent !!!!! Kevin McInerney2025-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very old cat with a few major medical conditions. Needed really special care. Donna gave it. More importantly sent small video clips that supported this care. Will use again and would highly recommend. Lesley Herriott2025-03-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend this company more highly. I have been able to turn to them when I've been desperate for help. I have boarded my dog in his foster home through them and the quality of service was absolutely amazing. He is epileptic and so I needed to feel completely happy with who was looking after him - and I did! Recently I have broken both my wrists and wasn't able to walk my dog but I have had a walker every day for him. They came and has an introductory visit with him. This meant I could meet them and they could meet him. They took him out on a regular basis at a time which suited me but wasn't necessarily the same time every day. He's not the easiest of dogs to walk as he is large and strong. He's also very determined about where he wants to walk! They all coped admirably with him. I got a full resume of what had happened during the walk as well as pictures and videos and it was nice to see him with a smile on his face, showing me he was enjoying himself. The fact that he was happy to go with them meant a lot to me. Even when we were surrounded by floods Donna managed to get here, be it a little late and he still had his full hours walk. I found them totally reliable and extremely pleasant. It is so reassuring to know you have people you can turn to when you really need help. I have yet to have one of their house sitters but I am sure to hey will be equally as good as all the other services I have used. Should the need arise for me to try this service, I will update my review. Lisa Lawrence2025-03-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First for Pets is a professional, reliable, trustworthy and friendly company. They go above and beyond with messages being replied to even out of hours! We are thrilled with Andrea our sitter. Andrea, keeps us up to date everyday with photos and updates. Our French bulldog is highly sensitive and has separation anxiety so finding a sitter who is more than capable of looking after him and putting up with his demanding attention and the need for constant belly rubs is wonderful. We were able to leave him for 12 days and take a holiday abroad for the first time in 5 years. Andrea and First for pets gives us the confidence to have holidays and breaks away now. We had a leak whilst we were away and Jeff the owner came around immediately to check things out. I highly recommend First for Pets. Heather Geobey2025-03-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The pet carers at First for Pets give a first rate service. They are kind, caring and put my animals first. I always get photos and updates which is lovely. They are reliable, friendly and I would highly recommend them. Thank you to you all at First for Pets. Rob Bowen2025-03-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our Westie Henry boarded with Donna and Geoff for the first time overnight the week before Christmas. He of course told us he loved it and when could he go again. It was such an easy choice for us. Donna has looked after our cat Noodles when we have been away in the past. When we visited Donna and Geoff's home, Henry was instantly made to feel welcome and he was well at ease in their company. Thanks again Donna and Geoff. 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 Ross2024-12-13Trustindex 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
