Lots of choice, vet thoroughly

Browsed dozens of kittens with the map and filters. Messaging was fine, though a couple of sellers tried to move me to WhatsApp, which I declined. I used Pet Payments for a small deposit, then met in person and reviewed documents before releasing the balance. That flow felt safer. Not every listing is equal, so patience helps. The platform gives you the tools, then you still have to do the checks.

Safe process for a puppy

Used the filters to find breeds that fit our home, then messaged a few sellers in app. One stood out, verified on Pet Payments, and we arranged a viewing. Paying the deposit inside the platform felt safer than bank transfers. We checked health paperwork at pickup and released the balance on collection. The guidance articles helped us know what to ask. It turned a nerve wracking decision into a structured, caring experience.

Easy filters, safer checkout

Finding a pup that fit our lifestyle was simple with the filters and clear photos. I felt reassured using the escrow style payment that holds funds until pickup. Meeting the seller and checking documents in person closed the loop. Messaging in app kept everything tidy. For service quality and peace of mind, this platform worked really well for us.

Helpful on payment caps

I asked support about the deposit limit on Pet Payments and whether a seller could request more. They replied clearly with the cap details and advised keeping all chat inside the platform. Professional and straightforward. That gave me confidence to walk away from a pushy seller and find a verified one. The safer payments piece is what keeps me using the site.

Viewing day nerves

When the breeder scanned the microchip and handed over health papers, I relaxed. One seller earlier tried to move to WhatsApp, which felt off, so I declined.

It was nice, I found it pleasant enough to see.

It was nice, I found it pleasant enough to see. I think it might be better if it was more simple to navigate and had a smoother feel when using the site.

Reply came very fast.

Reply came very fast. Design and images look nice. All the details are clear, I trust that every advert is real and honest.

Put a deposit in and paid, but now 5 days later we got NO

Put a deposit in and paid, but now 5 days later we got NO reply from either Pets4Homes or the seller. Tried to get our money back (which was a real hassle) and found out we lost it, even though they said it was the safest way to get a dog and only deal with honest sellers. We wanted to talk to a person, but the ‘Pre-Filled questions’ they use don’t help at all. Lost £44. Learned from this and won’t be using this site again because it’s clearly useless.

I now have a sweet Springerdor from Shrewsbury.

I now have a sweet Springerdor from Shrewsbury. Since my husband passed, this small dog has helped me find joy every day. Many thanks to Pets4homes. Peggy is such a joy ❤️

I really like this company. I feel safe with them.

I really like this company. I feel safe with them. Their algorithms work well and I like looking at the puppies and rehommes.

I tried this site for the first time

I tried this site for the first time, and I liked how both advertisers and buyers had to go through a verification process. It felt busy, with many advertisers offering me options on what to buy, and the 'saved search' feature worked fine.

The site does provide information on buying a pet.

The site does provide information on buying a pet. I'm happy that they keep me updated about cats being available.
