"You did a fantastic job again looking after Loppy, my daughter thinks of it as being as much of a holiday for him as it is for us! Loppy as always came home in good health and was well cared for. We look forward to use you again in the future and we will be in touch to sort our next holidays! We are recommending your services to our friends too.
Thanks again, Chari
"Our terrier has been walked by A Furry World since 2003, and she is always overjoyed to see her walker. She has also often been boarding when we go on holiday and she comes back in wonderful spirits and health clearly having had a terrific time, although of course pleased to see us again. We even receive delightful pictorial diary record of her stay away which is great fun to read. I would unhesitatingly recommend the thoughtful care and enormous fun that Furry World clearly provide and we continue to use them regularly.
Thanks again, Helen Priday
"Our dog Angus has been a very happy guest of from time to time since January 2005. It has always been an absolute pleasure dealing A Furry World - we have always found the business to be extremely professional and dedicated to fantastic customer service. The first occasion on which Angus stayed over, we received a brilliant pictorial diary showing us what Angus had done while we were away. He was clearly at home immediately! From that very first time onwards, whenever we see you at the local park or walk past her home Angus always votes with his feet and runs over to say a big hello. Thank you so much A Furry World - we (and Angus) look forward to using your services again.
Thanks again, Michael
"Just a quick note to thank you so very much for watching Gipper for us while we were gone. As always, he returned to us looking fit, dapper, and every so very happy. He clearly had a wonderful time with you as evidenced by the adorable little diary you put together outlining his visit and by his healthy look. I didn't worry about him at all while we were gone because I knew that he was living large at your house! But I didn't realize how large! Wow! A dog show, lots of friends, and a super big bone -- you treated him like a king (and he KNOWS that's how he is supposed to be treated, right!). Thanks so much. You run a first-rate dog care company!

" I would like to thank again for caring for my two piggies Spud & Mac. They seem to have had a really great time-much more relaxed and more active. They are scooting around all over the place during their out of cage time and my little porky tri-coloured pig (that’s Mac) even seems to have lost a bit of weight. I’m sure they’re going to have a brilliant time when I am away again.
Kind regards, Sylvia Pearce
" I have just picked up my hamster Harry from his holiday with A Furry World. I am absolutely delighted with the care that they have given him while I have been on my holiday, and would not only strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter, but will definitely be using them again myself in the future. I was extremely anxious about leaving Harry while I went away for 3 weeks, and it was an agonising decision deciding where he would go and who would look after him. Even having read the excellent testimonials on your website, when the day came to drop him off I was still nervous about whether he would be ok. Those feelings vanished the minute I was met by the warm and welcoming carers. They clearly adore animals and are extremely professional and knowledgeable. They spent a considerable period of time finding out about Harry's routine, answering my questions and really putting my mind at ease. I was very impressed by their attention to detail - for example asking whether Harry preferred to be kept at a height (e.g. on a table) or on the floor. It was something that I hadn't even thought of! Because of all this, I left their home with no hesitation whatsoever that Harry would be looked after in the same way that I would look after him - and I boarded my flight knowing that whilst i would miss him, he could not be in better hands. Harry has come back healthy and happy. He was waiting in his ball when we arrived (his cage immaculately cleaned out and waiting to go), with a photo album of his own holiday. It was very touching, and confirmed everything I had thought before I left for my trip. His cage has even been improved by them to stop the levels moving around! Thank you from me (and Harry) for providing such a wonderful service. We could not be happier!
Regards, Clementine

Cats are territorial creatures of habit and can find catteries very stressful and upsetting. It is generally agreed by pet professionals that they are most relaxed and comfortable staying in their own homes when "parents" go away for short or long breaks. Travelling to and from catteries can also be stressful for both you and your cat. Our Cat Sitting service means your cat can stay home whenever you are away.
Since the beginning of 2019 CitiKiti has also offered cat behaviour therapy as well. Cat behaviour therapy can help if your cat is urine marking, stressed, anxious, aggressive, destructive or urinating or defecating outside the litter tray.
