How it works?
Philippa
Providing Pet Sitting in the Childswickham, United Kingdom
Mother & daughter animal lovers exploring the U.K.
This was the first time Philippa and her daughter Anna have sat for us and we would happily recommend them. We came home to 2 very well looked after and contented dogs. The house was immaculate and both Boris and Chrissy were sad to see them go! Great communication both before and during the sit.
Sarah
Providing Pet Sitting in the Childswickham, United Kingdom
Sarah and Rob, friendly, reliable, house / petsitters
Sara and Robert were perfect guests. Pets looks after extremely well with occasional photos to keep us updated. The house was immaculate with a lovely card and gift on our return. Welcome back any time they are in the area. A+
Valerie
Providing Pet Sitting in the Childswickham, United Kingdom
Mother & Daughter duo, animal lovers, writers
Val and Ornella were great, they kept us updated on the cats and left the house very clean and tidy. The cats were indifferent to us getting back which is always a great sign that they've had loads of attention! We'd invite Val and Ornella to sit again without hesitation
Karen
Providing Pet Sitting in the Childswickham, United Kingdom
Animal loving, energetic, retired professional couple keen to travel and explore
Karen and Dan were lovely Petsitters. They really love animals and bonded very well with our little Cockapoo, Frankie. They looked after our home and Frankie perfectly. Frankie looked washed and groomed prior to our return. We would not hesitate to welcome them back again and would fully recommend them to you. Thanks Karen and Dan! Steve, Jenny and Frankie September 2024
Gill
Providing Pet Sitting in the Childswickham, United Kingdom
Professional, non-smoking couple with flexibility to travel and work remotely.
Yet another five star sit from Gill and Rob. As always wonderful communication before and during the sit and knowing that Olive and Elsa would be totally looked after and cared for made for a very relaxing time. As before the house was totally spotless when we got back and we really hope they'll be available when we next go away. Couldn't recommend Gill and Rob more highly!
Sheryl
Providing Pet Sitting in the Childswickham, United Kingdom
Full time housesitter with experience in the UK, Australia & New Zealand
Sheryl was a perfect house sitter. She turned up on time and was kind and friendly to me as a first timer. She kept me informed about the cats and consulted me when there was a minor problem. She left the house perfectly clean and tidy and left me with the provisions I needed for my return. Couldn’t have wished for more.
Paul
Providing Pet Sitting in the Childswickham, United Kingdom
We sit to combine our life time love of animals, travel and meeting new people
I didn’t actually meet Paul and Jan except via FaceTime. However, I needn’t have worried. They kept me fully informed about their arrival and departure - as well as some of the places they were able to visit during their week’s stay. I returned home to a beautifully clean house and a very contented cat. Communication was good and it’s great to know they would be happy to stay again. I was able to relax totally on my break with friends in Spain, confident both my home and my elderly cat were in safe hands. Thank you Paul and Jan!
Hans
Providing Pet Sitting in the Childswickham, United Kingdom
Experienced and reliable professional couple taking time out to travel.
Thank you Hans and Liz for the excellent care and consideration you gave in taking care of my cat , my house and my Garden . it was a pleasure to have you and wish you all the best looking for your ' forever home ! '
mark
Providing Pet Sitting in the Childswickham, United Kingdom
Retired active couple.
This was my first house sit with Zeewoi and I was nervous about lending the van among other things. I chose Mark and Sue because of their excellent recommendations from other sitters and I was not dissapointed. Everything was great from start to finish and Im embarassed that Mark ended up fixing my van. The weather was unusally hot while they were sitting for me, but they seemed to cope ok. I would happily have them back to sit again any time.
Stefanie
Providing Pet Sitting in the Childswickham, United Kingdom
Young couple looking to make some pet friends while gaining amazing experiences
Stef and Alex were my first Zeewois and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to start. They took such great care of Chilli and Rocket, sending regular updates with photos of them out and about having a wonderful time on their walks or at home enjoying lots of cuddles. They both clearly really care about the dogs and quickly made me feel very confident that the dogs and the house were in safe hands. They left the house spotless and the dogs were sad to see them leave. Thank you Stef and Alex and I hope we have another opportunity to see you again.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Tracy
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Meghan
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Regina
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Adrienne
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Julie
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Tracie
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Elizabeth
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Brandon & Travis
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Inma
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Marni
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!

Cotswold Dog Lodge
Recent Reviews:
Excellent service. Great people who clearly love dogs. Cody, our Mini Schnauzer has stayed a few times now and absolutely loves it. He gets a holiday and a chance to play in open fields with other dogs. Would highly recommend - worth every penny to know your dog is well looked after whilst you are away.
The best and most loving doggy accommodation. A luxurious home from home. I wouldn't entrust my elderly dog's care to anyone else. Anthea and Kevin are fabulous.
Winston loves staying here and I know I can leave him and not have to worry about him at all.
Very Friendly with excellent care for our dog, Thankyou
Too expensive for us. We have two dogs
Excellent home from home for our four legged family member!

Broadway Dog Groomers
Recent Reviews:
Lucy is the ultimate in someone who really does care and has empathy with your dog. She has always been amazing - Ned’s coat is beautiful given the grooming she has given him over the years and now as he is growing old she has the most empathetic and understanding nature that’s means the world - Ned is always so well cared for……she is 5*
HIGHLY recommend Broadway Dog Groomers. Lucie is brilliant, so friendly and welcoming. My cocker spaniel has always found going to the groomers stressful. But he was perfect and has come home calm and happy. He also looks fab and so smart with his new haircut! Very happy 😊 Thank you Lucie. We will definitely be returning x …
Fabulous little groomers. Worked extra hours to fit my dogs in a short notice. Great price ce. The dogs smelled gorgeous when we collected and the lady was great fun to chat to. Would highly recommend and return when in the area again X
Lucie puts the welfare of the dogs first. My dog is very nervous and violently shakes when going to groomers or the vet. He loves seeing Lucie and is a good boy for her. He always looks a handsome boy after his visit. Thank you Lucie for taking the time to reassure him while he is in your care ❤️
Lucy gave my Cockapoo her first cut and she looks fantastic -Suki is totally in love with her!
Been going to Lucie for years now and she does such an amazing job on my terrier. ❤️
The best groomer around - Lucie just loves dogs and it shows - Millie always comes out looking like a princess 🐶 …

Barklife Broadway Dog Boarding and Daycare
Recent Reviews:
We recently moved from the US to England and were very weary of leaving our precious dog with anyone while we are aware. Sam has made us feel more than comfortable leaving our dog in her care. She is extremely responsive and communicative while we are away. Our dog always comes home well cared for and happy. She created a warm welcoming environment for us and our dog. We are happy to leave our dog with Sam and would recommend her for anyone!
Wow what an amazing 5⭐️experience for myself and our 2 dogs .Sam was brilliant in her communication and sending us photos and updates . The girls came back so chilled . Thank you . Highly recommend . We’ ll be back 😁 …
I would highly recommend Sam at Barklife. She is lovely & very accommodating. She has been brilliant with our nervous & needy dog & really does provide a home from home for the animals. She cares for them as if they were her own pet. Really happy. 😊 …
Rowan House Boarding Kennels
Recent Reviews:
We have been boarding our whippet with Wendy and Colin regularly. They are both so caring and professional in the way they look after Lola and their communication is excellent. We know that we are leaving her in good hands. She has always returned home happy and healthy. We would not hesitate to recommend the kennels.
We went to Turkey for our recent wedding. Mia our staffie was looked after by Wendy. Mia adores Wendy and we wouldn't let anyone else look after her. She's eleven now and we've been bringing her since she was a pup. We would recommend excellent value and care! Thanks, Andy Julie and Mia 🫶
Cannot recommend highly enough. We were really worried about boarding our dog. We did not need to board our previous dog so had no experience and no idea what to expect. Both Wendy and Colin impressed us immediately with their dog knowledge and attitude. He did not look back when we left him and was his normal excited self when we returned to collect him. We would have no hesitation in boarding him here again. Thank you both for taking such good care of him.
Recently put our dog Bailey in kennels for 1st time. Both Colin and Wendy were absolutely great, experienced in offering reassurance as I felt quite anxious. Came back off holiday, Bailey absolutely fine, good feedback. Both are very experienced and compassionate about dogs. Would highly recommend these kennels and certainly will be using them again.
We put the dogs Spirit and Honey into the kennels as we were having work done at the house which meant their was nowhere for the dogs while the work was being carried out. We can't thank Wendy and Colin enough. They were brilliant at making us feel confident in leaving the dogs with them and looking after their needs. Spirit is a sensitive dog and doesn't like change. We had to extend their stay at the kennels as we hit a few problems when the works were being carried out so it ended up being 6 weeks. We were worried about Spirit as when he has stayed in kennels previously he has always come back home poorly. We needn't have worried this time as they both came home happy and contented and Spirit was fit and healthy. We can't thank Wendy and Colin enough for their helpfulness and our weekly catch ups when we checked in on how the dogs were doing. We will only being using Rowan House in future when we need kennels and we would have no hesitation in recommending them. Tina and Christopher
Well. Just picked up Ed and Clary our very special rescue dogs. It's difficult to leave them behind but sometimes you just have to. I would not use any other kennels. Wendy is really understanding and takes care of the pups as if they were her own. She has a soft spot for Ed... Which is lucky because he has had a real tough journey in his early years and can be a challenge. Friendly, always accomodating even at short notice. Definately a five star service!!!
Wendy made us feel super comfortable leaving our 2-year-old Vizslador with her and Colin. We had a wedding nearby and Wendy was super accommodating.
Highly recommended! Wendy and Colin are wonderful with my dog - I always feel comfortable leaving him with them and he always seems very happy to be there!
First time Koda went into kennels and they were first class. Very helpful. He is going again next month and I know he will be well looked after.
Highly recommend Rowan House. Wendy and Colin were so accommodating and our lab was extremely well looked after. Will definitely use them again, thank you :)
Agnes' Pet Sitting Services
Recent Reviews:
We contacted Agnes when we were looking for someone to home board our Jack Russell, Poppy. We arranged to meet Agnes with her own dogs so that she could see how Poppy was with them. As Poppy is a rescue dog and had become very attached to us we were concerned that she wouldn't settle if we left her for a week. We needn't have worried though as she was very happy with Agnes and her family, and we received regular updates and photos showing us what she was up to. In fact when we went to pick her up she didn't seem too bothered and I think she would have been happy to stay longer. I would highly recommend Agnes Pet Sitting Services.
Highly recommend Agnes, who looked after our dog whilst we visited the RSC theatre. Agnes was very flexible with drop-off/pick-up times and responded to correspondence very quickly when booking. We were able to relax and enjoy the show knowing he was in safe hands. Our little dog very much enjoyed his country walk with Agnes and playing with the others who were visiting Agnes that day. Can’t wait to visit again soon! Thanks Agnes.
We asked Agnes to care for my son's Greyhound whilst he got married at a hotel in Stratford. Agnes collected him from the venue, brought him back to have pictures taken with the bride and groom and returned him the next day. We could not have asked for better service and Diego was settled and happy with Agnes. Would definitely recommend her. Thank you for the care and attention you gave Diego
Agnes cares for our four legged friend as if he was her own. She’s friendly, dependable, incredibly caring, and kind to the animals she looks after and walks. I’m so pleased we found her, she has helped us out for 3 years now, from early puppy visits to walks and occasional overnight stays.
Agnes is kind and thoughtful. She is loved my pooch and us hoomans. She has been a big presence in our dogs life since we bought him home and he's always extremely excited to see her. Can't rate her highly enough
Great service! Confident leaving Agnes in charge of Pru... Pru far more settled being looked after at home than in a cattery. Also great Agnes will look after plants and garden when needed... And looks after the bin too if needed! Thanks
Cotswold Paw Patrol
Recent Reviews:
We had the pleasure of staying at the Lygon Arms Hotel with our furry friend, and we couldn't be more grateful to Jackie from Cotswold Paw Patrol for her outstanding dog-walking and dog-sitting services. Jackie's love for animals shone through in every interaction. Our dog took an immediate liking to her, and it was heartwarming to see the bond they formed. Jackie's professionalism and dedication were truly commendable. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to fellow pet owners!
I love leaving my dog with Jackie. She is so conscientious about his routine, training and wellbeing. I love how she remembers all the details and things I've told her to look out for. She also send us updates on Angus' stay, and I feel really confident that she has the dog's beat interest at heart and Angus is having the best time when he's at Jackie's.
Jackie has looked after my Border Collie a number of times from a weekend to a full week and I’ve never had any issues. A meet and greet first which was a great idea, my dog Ollie, warmed to Jackie straight away and Jackie was great with him. Jackie was in contact during the times she had Ollie, she sent updates and pictures which was really reassuring. Each time I pick my dog up, he’s always been so happy and has definitely had a great time! Reliable, trustworthy and friendly. I will carry on using Jackie!
Really pleased with Sandy's stay with Jackie. Sandy is quite a nervous dog, and Jackie was brilliant with her. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Jackie and she was really well looked after. We are very happy to recommend her.
Thoroughly recommend Jackie at Cotswold Paw Patrol. She came over and met us and our dog, Bob, a few weeks before we were going away. She then came to stay at our house and look after Bob for a couple of nights while we were away. We were very happy with Jackie's approach and communications; she was very trustworthy and we could relax, safe in the knowledge Bob was at home and having a stress-free time (he can't go into kennels or mix with dogs he doesn't know). We will definitely be asking Jackie to come again when we need to go away.
Have been in contact with Jackie for 9 months trying to book our dogs in with her for our summer holiday. She cancelled our meet and greets numerous times, we were sympathetic of this due to the pandemic and we were very patient, we finally met her and arranged a trial night date that suited us all. After waiting for 5 days (with a further two messages from me) she finally sent over the form for us to fill out, she also then added £200 to our agreed price. Two days after this, with no warning she has then told us that our dates are no longer available. Would not recommend. Terrible service.
Jackie is a lovely lady and Toto took to her straight away. Her priority is the welfare of your dog whilst in her care. Feel very confident leaving Toto with her
Thanks so much for looking after Echo, he was happy to go and relaxed when collected, great communication, loved the photos you sent, will definitely use again and would recommend.
Creature Comforts Evesham
Recent Reviews:
100% would recommend Creature Comforts! My excitable dog absolutely loves his group walks and always comes back tired out - which is certainly a challenge! Hayley and Paul have been absolutely great with him, and always flexible if you need to drop in an extra walk due to work commitments etc.
We’re really happy and pleased with the service provided, Ivy loves both Hayley and Paul so much and is always really excited to see them! We think the time she is out for on the walks for is really beneficial for her - she always comes back tired and well exercised! We like that she is able to socialise with other dogs in a safe environment, and they try to match the energies of the dogs to support this.
I have used Creature Comforts for the last couple of years and not only has my Tilly made new friends but I have too. Both Hayley and Paul have gone above and beyond with their support. They are friendly reliable and so very caring for the dogs in their care. Tilly knows the days when she is going out and she waits looking out the window. She really loves her time out with them and she even cries when they go I know that Tilly is having a great time and she loves to go out and have fun and I know that she is being well cared for.
I’ve been using creature comforts since Ozzy was a puppy so over 2 years now and they are incredible. Ozzy loves going out with his gang, so much so that he hates walking alone now. Hayley and Paul care for Ozzy like he is their own. They are flexible, reliable and responsive. Thanks to creature comforts I can go out to work without having to worry about my dog. I wouldn’t be without them! Highly recommend them to anyone who asks about a dog walker! Thanks guys xx
We would highly recommend. We have been using Creature Comforts for a year. Woody loves them. Every week he sits and waits at the window for Paul and he is so excited to see him. It’s nice to know Woody is getting the stimulation he needs. His recall has also improved from the walks.
Hayley walked my previous dog and now walks my very lively but loveable rescue puppy. The needs of each dog are very different but always more than met, and Archie has a fantastic time on his group walks. Being a lockdown pup and a rescue I was very concerned that he would have limited socialisation and the group walks and puppy socials have made sure that is not the case, he is growing into a well balanced dog with Hayley’s support. I always know that he will be safe, well looked after and happy, retuning from his walk excited to tell me about it and then fall exhausted into a deep sleep.
Dolly adores her walks with Paul and Hayley, they've concreted the training we started with recall and good manners. They're so accommodating and helpful. Definitely recommend x
My two dogs absolutely love their group walks with creature comforts. My once shy and timid spaniel who used to shake now runs to the gate when she’s collected. I’m really grateful For their professional and caring nature with my previous pooches!
My dog was terrible off lead before Hayley started taking her for a walk. She's taught her recall and just general walking mannerisms and it's now a delight to walk my dog! Couldn't recommend her enough. Luna always comes home tired and content and sleep half the afternoon. Good value for the amount of time she's taken on a walk. Couldn't recommend enough!!!
I have being using Hayley services for the last few years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I find her to be very professional and very knowledgeable in the services that she offers. She treats my dog as if it was her own and he looks forward to his walks with her. I couldn't imagine nor would I want anyone else to take care of my dog. I can not recommend Hayley highly enough. You will not be disappointed by the service you will receive if you went with her.
Dolcot Cattery
Recent Reviews:
Really happy to leave our cat here knowing with confidence that he would be well cared for to the highest standard.I found the staff at Dolcot cattery to be genuinely caring ,helpful and would highly recommend their service.
Friendly and deeply caring cattery that is also very reasonably priced. Convenient drop off and pick up times. Good accomodation, excellent record keeping and good levels of contact. Always great service.
Our previous cat Larry was really happy going to Dolcot cattery, and our now cat Molly had six weeks there at the beginning of the year. We feel that they are treated really well and couldn't be happier.
A friendly, well run cattery. Our boy seemed very relaxed after his stay. Would be happy for him to stay there again.
My two cats Fred and Theo stay here every year they love it.they are well looked after and spoilt they will be 14 years old this year and haven’t missed a year.
My mini panthers, Henry and Harry, love coming here. They are so well looked after and loved. I wouldn't take them anywhere else.
brilliant care given to my cat honey.she loves it so much when being looked after during my breakaway s
Lovely people & a great place for your cat
One happy cat!
Bright Eyes Dog Care
Recent Reviews:
They were lovely people, Kept Ned safe and took him for lovely long walks. He had a massive doggy grin when we picked him up! I’d definitely recommend 😃 …
Chris has been extremely helpful with our Springer Spaniel Buddy. We’ve worked with him closely for a number of months and have made a ton of progress in lots of areas. Things were really difficult before we started working with Chris and it is a massive relief to be in a much better place now and have a lot of the negative behaviours under control. Chris was very professional and very effective. I am very grateful for the work he has done and could not recommend him more highly.
Chris has been doing training with me and Freddie for just over 2 months now. He is amazing with Freddie who gets so excited to see him each week! Chris really knows his stuff and is happy to adapt each session to whatever you need which has been great as we have worked on issues that have cropped up in a timely way. Would definitely recommend. Freddie is going to be joining Chris and Becs for doggy day care soon and we can’t wait as I know he will be in safe hands and have an absolute ball 😊
I have been having 1 2 1 sessions with Chris for my staffie pup. We got her at 8 weeks old and my older dog didn't take to her. I asked Chris for help when my pup turned 13 weeks and he has been amazing. My pup is now 20 weeks old and my 2 dogs get along brilliantly. Chris has showed me how to train my pup as well, she is coming on amazingly. He really is very good and knows his stuff. I highly recommend Chris if you need any help with training.
After making enquires to multiple dog trainers for our dog Henri, Chris was the most prompt to respond. Chris is a kind and approachable person who is instantly able to put you and your animal at ease. His training was suitable, adaptable and conducted in easy to follow lessons for both owner and animal. Nothing seemed to much to ask from Chris and he was always willing to be contacted at any time for advice after lessons. It is clear from the outset that Chris loves the job he does and it really shows.
Chris has been helping me and my dog Woody to overcome his separation anxiety and improve recall. I am very pleased with the results and Woody loves Chris. Chris has a lovely, calm manner and has been very flexible with session times and location. I would highly recommend.
I had 3 sessions with Chris and learnt that some of the issues were caused by me giving mixed signals to my puppy Indie. Chris has a really calm nature and positive approach. My main problem was with Indie and my 2 cats. Chris only got to meet Meggie but he could see how stressed out she was, my other cat mostly hides whilst Indie is around. It's still work in progress but I can now pick Meggie, and Bella up in front of Indie without her jumping and trying to grab them. Chris you'll be pleased to hear we had a breakthrough this morning, Meggie and Indie were both on the bed with me for a couple of hours. That's the 1st time in about 5 months, I was over the moon. We have continued to train and she's now playing fetch with only 1 ball and will drop it right at our feet. Chris you were a star and we can't thank you enough.
We were having issues with our dog Hari's anxiety and reactions around people. Chris spoke to me at length on the phone to find out Hari's background as a rescue and to assess how he could help. After just one session we were able to understand more about Hari's behaviour and implement some key learning to start making immediate progress. After a few more sessions with Chris we are thrilled to see Hari's confidence growing and having much less reaction. We've also decreased the "safety zone" as Hari is becoming more comfortable in closer proximity, in most cases. I just want to say a big thank you to Chris, for all of your help and advice, we couldn't have turned things around without your training. We feel so much more confident and in control, which obviously we know is helping Hari too.
Our Nicole absolutely loves her time in day care every week. Chris & Becs are lovely people and offer fantastic services. We had a 121 training course with Chris and he has patiently helped us get to the best solution. Also Bec's grooming is amazing and professional as well! Can't recommend enough!!!
We worked with Chris when we got our Puppy, Delilah. We did 6, 1-2-1 sessions with him where he helped us with lead walking, obedience training, separation anxiety, meeting/being socialised with other dogs and a lot of other things. Our puppy is now 16 weeks old and we get comments on how friendly and confident she is. I really don't think we could have managed this without Chris. So thanks, Chris!
Bolstrode Kennels
Recent Reviews:
We left our toy poodle Ruby with Chris last Tuesday who showed us nothing but kindness. We would absolutely recommend Bolstrode kennels. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dog!
Went above and beyond here for our little dog. Would gladly leave my animals in the care of these real animal lovers. Cannot recommend enough!
Our 3 dogs have stayed here a few times now. Very accomodating and friendly people who have a good knowledge and love of dogs. Visitors are welcomed without an appointment and kennels and runs are always clean. Our dogs have always come home happy after a stay at Bolstrode.
Always put the dogs needs first. Our dog has bee a frequent visitor for the last eleven years. She never has a problem going off with one of the girls. They tell us she gets many short walks per day. What can I say, we would be lost without them.
The first time I've used these kennels and I'm so pleased I've found somewhere close to home where I know my lovely, elderly dog is cared for so well. She needs cuddles as much as food and when she came home I could tell she had been really well cared for. The best kennels I've ever used.
I've been using these kennels for about 9 years now I think. My two staffies were always extremely well looked after during my regular 2-3 week visits to Australia, as well as shorter breaks. Over time Chris and Yvonne have become like extended family and I know I can trust them to do their very best for my precious cargo. I only have the younger one of the two now. Nowadays I live a 2hr drive away . However there is still nowhere else I would be happy to leave him for an extended period. Knowing he is safe and cared for and the peace of mind that brings is priceless.
Excellent kennels, our dog had an 18 day stay and came home A very happy dog, couldnt ask for any more really. Excellent prices and care, we will use this as our go to kennels from now on... they also do military discount which in England is a rarity, nice to know that there are people out there that actually appreciate what our soldiers do for us.
Lula our cockapoo stayed here for 2 weeks in may,first time she been away from us since having her,I've only met Chris and he was fantastic, Lula was well looked after and was so happy ,also Chris kept me informed throughout her stay,nothing was to much trouble thankyou so much,would definitely recommend xx🐶 …
We’ve used Chris and Yvonne numerous times over the last 4 years. Can’t recommend them highly enough. The dogs always come back happy and healthy
My dogs have always loved coming here it is a home from home for them.
