Respectful trustworthy caring late-forties guy who loves being with animals
James was an absolute delight with our little dog who loved him and enjoyed their time together and many walks. His communication to us whilst we were away was excellent, texts, photos and videos, and never frightened to ask about anything he was unsure off. It was lovely to meet such an easy going and kind guy and to listen about some of his adventures. We wish him all the very best in his many future adventures, thank you James 🙏🙏🙏

Experienced Pet Owners
Sue & Ian were fantastic carers for our beloved spaniels and home. They arrived when they said they would with great communication beforehand and Koki & Sunshine loved them. Our house was absolutely immaculate when we arrived back and the dogs were sad to see them leave. They made a real impression. Highly recommended and we would be delighted to welcome them back any time.

63 year old happy caring lady who loves animals.
Louise is a kind, caring, thoughtful and conscientious person and we felt really lucky to have her pet and house sit for us. She gave us regular updates on how the animals were getting on, and made sure that our anxious elderly dog felt re-assured by her presence. Louise came with her own bedding, towels and even tea towels which meant the house was just as we left it when we returned with the addition of a bowl of fresh fruit from her garden! Thank you so much for looking after everyone so well 😊

Patricia and Phil
These guys are amazing, we didn't want them to leave! From the start they were great communicators and we left knowing our animals were in great hands. They sent lots of photos and videos, managed a complicated medication regime for our cat, and even researched homeopathic remedies for his skin condition. The garden and house looked great on our return and they welcomed us with a meal. We seriously couldn't recommend them more more and they left as friends

An animal and nature loving couple wanting to explore new places
Jenny and Nick were fantastic house and pet sitters. They happily arrived early on a Sunday morning so that we could show what was required to be done for feeding our animals. This also allowed us to leave stress free and not be in a rush. Jenny and Nick kept in touch while we were away to keep us updated on our animals. When our ferry was cancelled they offered to stay an extra night if need be. We are thrilled with Jenny and Nick they have done a very good job of looking after our animals, and left our house spotless. We’d be delighted to have Jenny and Nick as house and pet sitters again. Thank you very much.

Professional couple, just moved to Cumbria. Love pets!
Our second visit from Philippa & Stephen and we couldn’t be happier! They are a fabulous couple and we would have them back again and again. Cats completely happy and well. Tons of communication from Philippa with lots of pictures throughout the stay. House super clean and they had looked free the garden for us. Highly recommend them as house & pet sitters.

Mindful lady writer seeks peaceable places
Beryl is amazing and so caring and helpful with my 3 cats and 2 dogs. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you Beryl x
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
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!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I kenneled my pup there for 4 days I would highly recommend I Wouldn't use any other kennel now. wouldn't 0woulsnt use any other ..i
Tried to contact them numerous times via numerous methods but never get a response. Disappointing.
We dropped off our 2 dogs on a Friday at 16:30 and collected them on Sunday at 16:00. When we booked on the phone we were told that we could collect the dogs at 12 on the Sunday but everything was locked up when we arrived so we had to come back later in the afternoon. This added a 40 mile round trip to our day. When we returned we were asked for £63 on top of the £54 deposit already paid. This seemed excessive so we questioned it. We were then told it would be £54. The initial price quoted was £18 per dog, per day. The cost should therefore have been £72. We were charged £108. For a stay of less than 48 hours I consider this excessive and will therefore not use this facility again. SO, JUST RECEIVED A REPSONSE FROM THE OWNER BLAMING ME FOR NOT READING THE SMALL PRINT. I STILL GOT CHARGED 3 DAYS FOR LESS THAN 48 HOURS SO MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE BEFORE BOOKING HERE OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET A NASTY EXPENSIVE SURPRISE.
Nice and friendly staff. The cattery section looks fantastic. Nice big area for the cats to stay in and a good long runabout corridor for some exercise. Will definitely be booking our furrball in here next time we go away (if I can ever get over the guilt 🤣). …
7 month old kitten seamed unfazed by his 3 night stay. Was in good condition physically at pick up and didn't seem at all psychologically upset. Settled quickly at home. Appeared back to normal after a couple of hours. Will have no qualms at using this facility again.
Really good wee kennels friendly staff
The previous time when we used Mabie Forest Kennels for our Jack Russell was in September 2019 for 2 nights. She really loved it and was very sad to leave it. We booked another stay for 16 nights in February/March as I had to go abroad. I tried contacting them about 150 times and only 2 phone calls were successfull telling me that my dog was doing great and was eating normally. When we got back and went to take her, we had to pay first the rest of the amount and then the staff brought the dog all skinny, stinking and hair was falling. I could actually see the ribs through the skin. Took her to the vets and turns out she has conjunctivitis either from bad hygiene or from another dog. She slept like a baby for 3 days after that. I understand that it must be stress for some dogs to stay at the kennels but I could at least get a phone call from the staff to let me know that she was not doing so great as I left an emergency phone number in case someone had to take her back. Honestly I could never leave my dog there again.
My cat Pip loves his holidays' here. Steph, Connor & team are really good with him which is a relief to know as he's quite a timid house cat. They go & sit in his chalet with him & treat him to tuna. They are very accommodating & have come to mine & Pip's rescue in unforeseen circumstances a few times now. On top of this he is on regular medication because he has a medical condition & this doesn't phase them either. He tells me all about his holiday on his return home.
Our dog and cat receive excellent care and attention at Mabie Kennels. Boris the cat has his own "chalet" inside a heated building and has an upstairs and downstairs! Baxter the poodle is obviously very fond of the staff which I take to be a mark of how well looked after he is. Having him shampooed and dried for only £10 on the day we come home is an extra bonus and the staff are always welcoming and friendly.
Winston is an English bulldog who goes to the mabie kennel whenever we are on holiday, he loves it. We are find of him so his care is very important to us and at Mabie he is very well looked after and enjoys playing with the other dogs.
My dog Rosie has attended DDD since she was around 4 months old. It was a brilliant place for her to socialise as a puppy. Now age 2 she still goes twice per week and for occasional over night stays. Mark and Sindy are very reliable and nothing is too much trouble. I always feel reassured that Rosie is safe and well cared for and she is always happy to go which tells me she she enjoys her time there. I would highly recommend DDD for anyone looking for doggy daycare.
Highly Recommend Dumfries Doggie Daycare, we decided to try our Mini Schnauzer with Mark & Sindy as he didn't interact very much with other dogs, didn't play with toys etc & just over excited by other dogs, he is a different dog now, toys, toys, toys & plays well with others. Professional service, completely relaxed leaving our Woody with them.
Our dog hates kennels, but loves Dumfries Doggy Daycare. It is a great weight off our minds on holiday knowing she is so well looked after. There is lots for her to do in the garden and places inside for a bit of peace and quiet. We also get regular photos and updates to see how settled she is.
My miniature schnauzer loves going to Dumfries Doggy Day Care. He loves Mark and Cindy and the opportunities he gets there to socialise with other dogs. The outside area is large and has lots of equipment that provides stimulation for the dogs and a warm comfortable inside area for relaxing or wet days! As an owner I find Mark and Cindy very approachable and accomodating to any requests out of my usual pattern. I would highly recommend their service if you are considering day care for your dog!
We used Dumfries Doggy Daycare for our two Sprocker Spaniel pups until they were old enough and mature enough to be left for longer periods on their own. We also used their stayover service which was fab too. It was great for puppy socialising, learning skills and was like home from home! They loved it. Sindy and Mark were great at giving us regular updates too. We were able to go to work knowing that they were being looked after so well. We would recommend Dumfries Doggy Daycare to anyone looking for doggy care, genuine peace of mind that their furry friends are being looked after well, and for those looking for the best start for their pups.
For anyone looking for a home from home for their beloved pups - look no further! Sindy, Mark & their own pups are the friendliest bunch. They welcomed our cocker spaniel Steve with love and lots of attention. Steve runs into Dumfries Doggy daycare every time we go - we can just tell he is well looked after and stimulated. He is one happy exhausted Pooch when he comes home. The other dogs are friendly and the team do a great job of vetting owners, and meeting/integrating new dogs Steve with their pack. They really took the time to get to know us and our dog. We couldn’t recommend them more highly - just a fantastic and what are you waiting for?!
Our Dachshund pup Otto has been going to Mark and Sindy since August and he absolutely loves it. They take such great care of him and I am so confident he is being properly looked after. Mark and Sindy are very professional about their work and passionate about what they do.
Tried a few other places within the town and the surrounding area before coming here. They look after our dog once a week and she knows when she is to go as she waits by our front door on drop off day. She runs down the road to their premises which is a good sign! The overnight service is great too, the dog stays in the house with them so I know she is safe, warm and happy. Best place in town by far.
Great environment for dogs, our pug is ways excited to go to Doggie Daycare and always comes away super tired from all the fun she's had. Highly recommend!
Lola has been going to Dumfries doggie day care for a few weeks now, absolutely great service Mark and Sindy provide excellent care and attention to each dogs individual needs would highly recommend them to anyone looking for daycare or boarding it really is all about the dogs .Lola loves it.
Thanks so much to Kari and family for looking after our Tav at their beautiful home Wild Tides. This is the first time we have left him with someone other than family, but we felt so reassured as Kari kept us updated with regular photos and texts. He even got to sleep on the couch! We will definitely use this service again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a ‘home from home’ environment for their precious dog❤️
Our spaniel boy has the best time at Wild Tides. Kari is great with dogs and sends photos and videos. Would 100% recommend!
Hi, first overnight stay for Hamish, and would thoroughly recommend as made Hamish very welcome into a dog loving home.
first class care! my 2 dogs absolutely love going to WOLF. 100% trusted and would highly recommend.
My dog adores Kate! She has a wonderful way with all breeds and such a lovely person well done
Thank you very much for your review of WOLF, I really appreciate the feedback.
Super place....my dog is 8 and a nervous rescue...never been in kennels during the 7 years I've had her, so I was anxious about leaving her....but Viv came highly recommend to me by another protective mum! My dog loved her overnight stay and I'm more relaxed about leaving her for longer next time....thankyou both😘 …
We left our 2 whippet Joey and Oscar at damhead whilst we went on holiday. They were so loved and looked after. Very well exercised and plenty of night time snuggles. Nothing was too much hassle as this was the first time we had left our pampered pooches and anytime we contacted we got a timely response in checking in about the dogs. Couldn't recommend highly enough. It's hard to put your trust in people when it comes to your pets but i would definitely trust viv and the team now to care for them when needed. Location was nice and rural which suits our 2 to a tea. Excellent local kennel service. Hidden treasure. Thanks again.
Very good care of my very old cat, including seeking telephone advice from his usual vet when he was unwell. Quiet rural location, but road up is narrow, so not ideal for caravans or motorhome, although turning space and ample parking once you get there. Staff very friendly and helpful.
We recently placed our kitten Elsie at Damhead Cattery and Kennels and cannot recommend them more highly. The staff were friendly, attentive and welcoming when we dropped her off taking great care to ascertain any requirements she may have. We loved the photo’s that were posted daily on their Facebook page of how our own pet and others were enjoying their time there. It is clear that Elsie has been extremely well cared for and given lots of attention. We will most definitely be using Damhead Cattery and Kennels again in the future.
Nicer more hard working dedicated people you will never meet. You can literally see how much they truly care for ALL the pets in their care, I would not place my wee monkey puzzles with anyone else. Genuinely lovely humans....❤🐾 …
My Maggie trotts off to stay at Damhead kennels so confidently....I can go away knowing my fur baby is in safe hands.......Fantastic boarding kennels...couldn't be without them 💙 🐾 🐾 🐾 …
Not the first time we've used Damhead for our cats. Staff always very friendly & polite. Happy with the way our cats seem to have been looked after during their stay there. Only downside is, for longer stays, we would prefer slightly larger runs so our cats had a bit more freedom. Overall very happy & would definitely take our cats here again.
Our dog loved going to stay here. She has to be on daily medication which was no problem for Damhead. She's come back a very happy dog and would reccomend them
We left our Retriever at Damhead Kennels overnight, and we picked him up today. Very friendly helpful staff, and Percy had clearly been well looked after. Highly recommended!
We have been using these Kennels for almost two years - one word Brilliant - our dog needs meds every day and nothing is a problem. Even when hubby broke his ankle last year in 3 places they came to our home and picked our beloved dog up - cannot praise them enough. Staff are just the best.
An absolutely fantastic place for owners who need care for their dogs when working or having a day away. Arlo loves it as well as loving the owners of it too. He can't wait to get there and meet up with everyone. I would definitely recommend Wagg this way if you need day care for your furry friend. It is so enjoyable for Arlo we continued to use it even when working from home during lockdown.
Great place to bring your beloved dog. Harley and Chris are very passionate with what they do and go above and beyond to make sure my pup has a great experIence while at Wagg this way, wouldn’t send my pup anywhere else totally recommend☺️
Would 100% recommend Wagg This Way to everyone that is looking for day care for their pooch. Very friendly and polite couple, who are very professional and passionate about their work. They go above and beyond. My pooches were well looked after and had a blast. Keep up the amazing work Thank you
Would 100% recommend bringing your dogs here. The owner's are brilliant and very committed to their work. Recommended by a friend, and wouldn't go anywhere else!
My puppy enjoyed her day meeting new friends. Harley very welcoming. Will be booking in again very soon. 😁 …
Harley and Chris are very good and enthusiastic in what they do, I would 100% recommend to anyone I know.
Aimie's amazing with the dog, Tigger, my pup, is a little overweight and old and she's done a fantastic job making sure that his walks aren't too harsh on his joints and making sure he doesn't wear himself down too much whilst still getting a good walk in (because he forgets his age and gets very sore). She's suggested tips and tricks about his eating habits which have really helped too! She's even been teaching him a few tricks. Thank you Aimie! I wouldn't recommend anyone else, she knows her stuff and will adjust to all of your pets needs
My reactive dog loves Aimie! Was a great experience for flo and she was so tired after, couldn't recommend more!
I use Walkies for my little puppy, Teddy. He's such a little ball of energy and absolutely loves his long walks with Aimie twice a week. Fantastic service 🥰🐕🦺💕 …
Very friendly and extremely professional. My dogs adore Aimie which puts my mind at rest knowing that they are in such good hands.
Fantastic service and an absolute diamond of a person. The dogs took to her instantly and love to have her over for visits and taking them out on their walks. Best in the biz 👌 …
Aimie is wonderful with my dog Teddy i recommend her services 100% ☺️
