Ellie looked after our 3 cats over the weekend and we are so happy with the service. She sent us regular videos and photos and cared for them as if they were here own. It made our break really relaxing knowing they were in safe hands. Thank you Ellie we will definitely be asking again. More...

It is Archie's highlight of the week. Before he started going on the pack walks I was a bit apprehensive as he had never walked with other dogs. Ellie was more than happy to do a trial with me and he has not looked back. He gets excited everytime they turn up and clearly has the best time ever. so glad we found Petmates 😊 More...

I can’t recommend Petmates Chester highly enough. We have a rescued, stay at home cat who wouldn’t cope well with a cattery, so we were thrilled when we discovered their home visits. They are now our ‘go-to’ carers for Smokey, who seems to have fallen in love with Ellie! We always find Smokey clean, well fed, well groomed and happy on our return. I love that we get a photo or video to put our minds at rest too. We have needed care for Smokey at short notice and awkward dates and Petmates have never let us down. More...

Teddy is a very shy cat, yet Ellie has had no trouble making him feel comfortable and playful around her. Not only does she text to let me know that she has visited, I also get sent photos to put me at ease. Ellie is lovely and approachable and made the whole process very easy, especially as she started with a visit to meet Teddy and have a chat about what I wanted from her service. I would definitely recommend Petmates and will 100% be using Ellie again in the future. Thank you from Teddy and I! More...

Ellie and the team at Petmates started taking our cocker spaniel Monty out for two walks per week in January of this year.
I was a little nervous about finding the right person for the job and have to say I am overjoyed that we found Petmates! Monty loves his walks- and I like being able to see photos on the Facebook page. Monty appears on most of the pictures as a brown and white blur- which I think is good evidence of how much fun he’s having!
I can’t recommend Petmates enough, I know Monty is in safe hands and that I’ll come home to a happy dog.

Ellie and Lisa look after my labrador puppy Maddie while I'm at work. They are both so friendly and professional. I get photos and updates on how Maddie is doing, she knows their names when I tell her whose coming to play. I was extremely nervous leaving Maddie to begin with but both Ellie and Lisa put my mind at rest. Wouldn't go to anyone else to look after our precious Maddie ???? More...

It was my first time using an in house pet sitter but couldn’t think of anyone better to look after my 2 cats than Ellie at Petmates! Ellie kept us in the loop daily on how they were doing (she could sense my initial nerves - especially as one of my cats wasn’t too well with a poorly leg) but she couldn’t do more and I would and will be using Ellie for all my pet sitting in the future! Thank you so much for being so kind and caring!! More...

I found Petsmates services to be fantastic. Ellie looked after our cats whilst we were away. One of my cats went on an adventure for a few days(she goes out). Ellie communicated this to us, put posters up knocked on neighbours doors and worked her socks off on our behalf to get her back. Our cheeky cat came back but Ellie went above and beyond. Can not recommend this service enough. Thank you for all your hard work! More...
