Trustworthy and reliable couple
Steven and Ariel were amazing house sitters. They came to meet my husband beforehand to introduce themselves, which I thought was nice and reassuring. They sent us frequent updates and photos of our lovely Fluffy. The kids and i enjoyed seeing what she was up to… she looked very happy with Steven and Ariel in the photos and videos and I could see they were treating her very well. Once we got home Fluffy was relaxed. They left our home exactly as they found it, plus they cleaned up a pan I had nearly destroyed and left a beautiful floral display. We were very pleased as they made our few days away worry free and the process was effortless. We would be happy for them both to stay in our home and look after Fluffy again.

Looking to explore the UK and it's furry inhabitants.
Christian is an exceptional pet sitter and I highly recommend him. Before meeting my two cats, he took the time to ask thoughtful questions and make notes about their personalities, which immediately reassured me that they were in good hands. His care and attention to detail were evident throughout, as he regularly sent me updates and photos while I was away. Not only did he look after my cats with genuine affection, but he also kept my flat spotless. Coming home to such a clean and welcoming space was a delight. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Christian to anyone and hope to have him as a sitter again in the future.

Superb house and cat sitter. We had no qualms at all in leaving Tim in charge. Toby loved him and everything in the house was as we left it.

We couldn’t have asked for better sitters. Robin and Ola looked after our pets so well with plenty of regular updates, photos and videos. Our house was also immaculate when we returned. Don’t hesitate to book them for your next sit!

This was our first experience of using a housesitter and we couldn’t have chosen anyone better than Michael. He was very easy to get on with, reliable and kept us fully informed at every stage of the process. We appreciated him asking if we wanted updates on our pets while we were away and it was reassuring to be sent photos of our cat who clearly made friends very quickly! The house was spotlessly clean and tidy when we returned home - all in all Michael made it a very good experience for us.

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.

Friendly Oxfordshire based retired couple looking for our next adventure.
A very positive first experience of zeewoi! Chris looked after Stan and the house beautifully, communicated well and left everything immaculate - even gifting us some apples and a bottle of wine.

It's been an absolute pleasure to have Simona look after Lola the Cat and the house. Simona is friendly, professional, uncomplicated and a great communicator. It was lovely seeing her bond with my shy cat. The regular photo and video updates really captured Lola's quirky personality. I knew my pet was in good hands. Simona was also very self sufficient and the house was super clean and tidy when I returned. Thank you so much for all your help, Simona. We would love to invite you back for future house sits.

CLIVE & GILL 2 NON SMOKERS AVAILABLE FOR HOUSESITTING. PETS VERY WELCOME!
We met with Gill and Clive prior to our trip and were very happy. They were very friendly and engaging and our dogs instantly bonded and played. Gill and Clive arrived on the day of our trip as planned and provided updates every couple of days during our trip, putting our minds at rest. Upon our return, our house was very clean and tidy and Gill had very kindly provided us with some basic essentials (bread, milk & eggs). Our dogs were happy and it was clear they had been very well cared for. We could not recommend Gill and Clive any higher to other zeewoi members.
It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
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!
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
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!
Our two have been with and walking for just over a year. They both absolutely love the team coming to take them out every day and really enjoy their rambling adventures! So much so if they hear some of the walkers they abandon us and run to them! 🤣 Couldnt recommend enough Waggin and Walkin and really sad that as were moving away we wont be able to keep using. Thank you so much for taking care of our two fuzzy nightmares 🐾🐾🐾
Wonderful dog walking business! My dog has gained a lot of confidence since joining the group walks. I can tell she has had a wonderful time from her excitement when her Auntie Leanne collects her, to the contented nap when she is dropped off (Leanne will give her a quick clean when necessary). She was a shy pooch but likes to play, run and sniff. I can see that she is well cared for, and I love the "report" that I get with each walk and the photos that come with them. Thoroughly recommend!
Jayne and her team are outstanding. We have used Waggin and Walkin for 4 years and Jayne has supported us prior to, during (when permitted) and since, lockdown. They are a highly skilled and a knowledgable team of professionals and my two dogs just adore Jayne and Karen. I’ve received exceptional comms, advice add support, and they bend over backwards to help us accommodate our two fury cockapoos. They give walk updates too and take super photos. You will not be disappointed and your investment in your pooches will be worth it!!
Bella loves her weekly walks with her Waggin & Walkin friends. She always comes home happy, relaxed and tired. It's so good for her to go out with someone other than us every day and she's a well socialised little dog. Jayne is very accommodating to our changes in working commitments and is as flexible as possible. Can highly recommend this service.
Waggin & Walkin have been spoiling my baby Vizsla for the past month and I mean this in the best possible way! From walks in the park to walks in the woods, meet ups with other lovely dogs to tennis ball games, splashing in ponds (with my permission) to off leash playtime (also after asking my permission). Our little Luna is nervous of people - a challenge many pandemic puppies are probably facing - but after just one meeting, she LOVES her aunties at W&W. Our only problem is getting her to stop wiggling and wagging when they come to pick her up so she can get her leash on. They are by far the BEST dog walkers we've ever known professional, considerate, and - as far as little Luna is concerned - the most fun people EVER. I am attaching a photo of Luna with her dog walker as I think this sums up her feelings perfectly. Thanks for being brilliant!
I have used Waggin & Walkin since having Meara as puppy, and being a 'single parent' with a demanding job I couldn't have managed without them. Waggin & Walkin provide expert advice and a real personal and individual approach. They have been so supportive, caring and attentive to her and alerting me to any concerns. Meara adores all of her walkers as if they are her family. She has also been so well socialised with meeting/playing with other dogs in Jayne's care, which she adores. I couldn't recommend Jayne and her team more highly.
We have used Jayne's services and her lovely team twice now to look after our 9 cats. I have to say that we are so impressed with the attention to detail that Jayne takes on each cats requirement including giving medication and dietary needs. While we were away we received regular text and email correspondence and also pictures to reassure us that all was well at home. If you need a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter I would strongly recommend that you contact Jayne.
Waggin and Walkin is an excellent service. They are thoroughly reliable and they ensure that my dog is well looked after and tended to whilst I am work. I simply would not be able to enjoy having my very important furry friend to the extent that I am able without their assistance.
We've used Waggin & Walkin three times a week since our pup Herbie was 6 months old (he's now nearly 3) and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. All of the dog walkers (Aunties) are lovely people who clearly love dogs and do all the training you could hope for to make sure your dog is in good hands. They're really careful and clever about creating the walking groups so that your pup is happy and they do a mix of walking and playing when they're out. I think the fact that as soon as I mention Aunties name Herbie goes excitedly running to the window to check if they're here demonstrates how much he loves them. They are also really accommodating to your dogs particular needs. They have built a beautiful relationship with Herbie and I know how happy and safe he is with them.
Waggin and Walkin have been walking our dog for the past 3 years and their service has always been outstanding. The level of professionalism the team show is second to none and I know that our dog is in very safe hands. You can really see the love and care the team have for all their doggies and our dog loves them too.
Best place for Buddy! He loves playing with all his friends.
My Labrador loved it had a lot of fun 😊 …
Fantastic. Looks after our fogike it's their own. Highly recommended
Sammy has just had his first holiday at Maddie's and I can't thank Shelley and her crew enough for making him feel at home from home. He has previously stayed in kennels but he is 8 now and we felt he deserved some comfort while we went on holiday. The pre-stay visits were great for making sure Shelley and the other dogs got to know Sammy, and that he would be comfortable there. And by the time we dropped him off for his holiday, he was chomping at the bit to see his friends again. I didn't once worry that Sammy wasn't ok whilst we were away, as we received daily "pupdates" showing us how he was getting on and what he was up to. We could see from the photos and videos that he was happy and felt safe. The care and attention he received was as good if not better than at home. Before his stay Sammy hadn't really socialised with other dogs and we weren't sure how he would be, but he soon got stuck in at playtime and was leading the walks. I would highly recommend Maddie's and will definitely be booking Sammy in next time we go away.
Before I contacted Maddies home from home I did a lot of research as I had been rushed into hospital in January and had to leave my poor dog at boarding without even seeing it, I was worried the whole time in hospital about my dear little girl and couldn’t wait to collect her and I was determined to find a home from home boarding. I researched several but Maddies came out on top so I contacted Shelley and we meet up for a sniff test with my little girl and the rest of her dogs. Wow how thorough and professional her whole business is. I was very impressed and we arranged a sleepover, I was very anxious to be leaving my girl again but Shelley sent me regular pup dates which put my mind at ease. I was once again taken into hospital so I contacted Shelley to see if she could look after my little girl at short notice and she was there for me again. My stay in hospital was so much better knowing she was being cared for and regular pup dates made my stay in hospital bearable. My little girl loved her stay at Maddies and always had lots to occupy her and lots of walks. I can’t recommend and thank Shelley enough for looking after my little girl it really is home from home.
This was Elsy’s first 2 week stay at Maddie’s and she was so looked after ! Lots of daily updates with videos and photographs. The walks all looked amazing. Shelley was very professional, caring and so loving to Elsy. Really really pleased I found such a brilliant home boarding stay for Elsy to go. Have booked many more stays for her in the coming months. Thank you for all your help and amazing attention to detail.
Teddy is cared for 100%+ whilst I go away on holiday. It's a real home from home boarding. It's peace of mind knowing he is in safe hands. Shelley makes the separation easier for me and Teddy settles. Lots of attention given to the dogs in her care. Walkies, hugs, playtime and groomed. I enjoy the photos and videos sent daily. I collected Teddy after 12 days. He's fit, healthy and no kennel cough. So pleased I was recommended Maddies home boarding & day care. I have never been disappointed. Thank you Maddie & Shelley.
Ninja has been expertly looked after by Shelley for the past three years with a mix of boarding and day care. I now have two dogs that both go regularly and they don't even look back to me when they see Shelley. It really is a home from home with personalised and loving care. Highly recommend!
Shelley and Maddie’s house is doggie heaven. Robbie felt right at home and he was clearly happy to be there. As a nervous Doggy-Mum, Shelley really put me at ease and I felt comfortable leaving him with her. Highly recommended.
Working full time we were a bit stuck when my Mum had an accident and we had to look after her dog, Chester, for a few month's. We couldn't have chosen better with Maddie's. It is certainly a home from home, but even more than that - the dogs get great enrichment, exercise and socialisation everyday. I would not hesitate to recommend Maddie's to anyone looking for doggy care or boarding for their beloved furmily member.
My dog Dylan loves being at Maddie's. He gets 5 star treatment and I love getting regular pup-dates from Shelley. I highly recommend Shelley and wouldn't board Dylan anywhere else!
Our dog loves staying at Maddie's! The service is professional, reliable and responsive and we enjoy receiving updates about our pet when we are away. Highly recommended.
Taking each dogs needs a quirks into consideration, my mind is at ease knowing that Lottie is being well cared for and loved by a true professional.
Absent Friends went above and beyond looking after my three cats, especially one with a poorly tummy, on a recent trip abroad. Barbara spent a lot of time getting to know my cats and home prior to my trip. She is so professional, taking notes, sending email updates, and leaving the house really tidy. She even watered the garden in the heatwave! I knew my home and pets were in safe and responsible hands while I was away. Highly recommend and will certainly use again!
I am a proud owner of 3 fur babies & am particularly fussy about their care. I have a cat & a rabbit who are bonded & didn't want to split them up in boarding, plus a hamster. My cat was recently diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism, & suffered all the side effects from the medication, so was concerned for his well being whilst I was going to be away. My pets are used to a lot of love & attention. I found Absent Friends on a local noticeboard, I met with Barbara (several times). She made extensive notes, took on board everything I said & I have to say that she did the most amazing job. I came home to happy animals, that had clearly not worried about us being away. The sores that the cat had before I left had been treated with the medication provided & were looking a lot better, plus he had gained his weight back again. I believe they had been completely pampered & that Barbara had loved them as though they were her own. Will definitely use this company again and will recommend highly.
Barbara and team are fantastic, Grady my cat loves her. He gets cuddles and food. It is such a relief to have a reliable, trustworthy team caring for my cat, house and greenhouse, despite the heat, all tomatoes are looking good 👍 Many thanks, send here's to the next vacation 😀 …
We recently used this company to look after our dogs whilst we attended a family event, unfortunately during the evening two of our dogs were left unattended and subsequently escaped. Although this was a mistake and of course not a malicious act from the staff, their blatant disregard for the event since has been appalling. We have been blamed numerous times for the infrastructure within our garden, and time after time it has been insinuated it was our fault that they made this mistake. It is regrettable that this company fail to take any responsibility for their work and ultimately reflects their complete disregard for the the pets in their care. This company has continued to astound me with their response to this event and I genuinely worry about the pets they care for, for future clients. A simple mistake has turned into victim blaming and hostility. I would consider another company.
Great service, my very shy cat loved her! Able to give medication as well as feeding, plus putting out the recycling out, collecting post etc etc. I feel reassured to know my cats and home are in good hands while I'm away.
Great carers, great people! Helped us out looking after the house and plants/garden for years, never had the slightest issue.Would recommend to all without hesitation!! Thank you!
Let my two little dogs out and lost them . Would never recommend such awful people who show no care for my much loved girls .
tasty food, decent service
We asked Marina to look after our 2 cats several times and it’s always been a pleasure. She’s responding quickly and accommodating for any requests we have. Our 2 cats are quite shy and nervous so hotel was not an option. They trusted Marina really quickly so I knew they were in good hands. Definitely recommend!
I found Mk pet care through online search and came across Marina from our very first conversation over the phone I felt our kitty’s would be in safe hands she came across very switched on and a trustworthy pet lover! She attended are kitty home (of 8 🐱) while we had to go away for 4 days she kept me informed every time she attended and the cats enjoyed the company and remaining in there own home with no big changes 🐱 she house visited and kept them fed and watered and there spaces clean also giving them attention/brushing them id recommend Marina too anyone who requires pet sitting services beforehand I was very nervous and feeling bad about leaving my cats but she delivers outstanding care for our cats and home and listens and attends to any request or pet rules you may have! Thanks a lot for your help from Steven&Karina and the🐱s !
I've been taking my Rabbit here for the last 6 years every time we go in holiday. She had been always very well looked after. Gary is a very kind man that always takes care of all the aspects of caring about a small pet, feeding them, letting them out, and giving them a lot of love. I totally recommend it!
We have used MK Pet Care on many occasions over the last few years and I cannot recommend Gary enough! He is always quick to respond to our enquiries and we feel relaxed knowing that our Guinea Pigs are with someone who we can trust. The prices are very affordable for the services they offer.
We are taking our bunny here for a few years and the services are the best. Gary is such a lovely, caring person and puts a lot of effort in looking after the animals! We would highly recommend him. He is the best! 🤗 …
I boarded my Rabbit here last week for the first time and he was looked after so so well that I have now booked for him to return for all holidays. Gary was very accommodating to needs and you can tell he genuinely cares about the animals he looks after!
Gary did a wonderful job in looking after my three fussy rescue rats. He took care to follow their care needs and it showed, as they came home calm and happy. Edit: Gary did an excellent job with administering liquid medicine during the rats' second board
Highly recommend Gary and Marina for providing a happy holiday home for little furries. My guinea pigs have boarded for a good number of years and are exceptionally well cared for. Wonderful peace of mind. Lovely people too!
I left my Guineas with Gary and they had a great week. Gary is super kind and the Guineas were so well looked after. They will be going on holiday there again! Thank you so much-
Used their services this summer for our cat and we are delighted. Comes round on a daily basis to check the house and feed our cat. Also sends updates on a weekly basis or more often if you prefer. A pleasure to deal with. Would definitely recommend!
Ahoy, me hearties! As I approached the establishment, me trusty hound Salty by me side, I couldn't help but mutter, "Blimey, this place be fancier than the Governor's mansion we plundered last month!" A cheery lass greeted us at the door. "Welcome to Hunters Lodge! How can we help you today?" "Arrr," I growled, "I be needin' a place to stow me first mate while I'm off plunderin'... err... I mean, vacationin'." The lass smiled, seemingly unfazed by me pirate garb. "Of course! We'd be happy to look after your dog. What's his name?" "This here be Salty," I said, puffing out me chest. "The fiercest sea dog to ever sail the seven seas!" At that moment, Salty rolled over, begging for a belly rub. "I can see he's a real terror," the lass chuckled. As we toured the facilities, I couldn't help but be impressed. "Shiver me timbers!" I exclaimed, "These quarters be nicer than me captain's cabin!" The lass nodded, "We pride ourselves on our comfortable accommodations." Under me breath, I muttered to Salty, "Don't be gettin' too used to this luxury, ye mangy mutt. It's back to ship's biscuits and grog when we set sail again." Salty wagged his tail, clearly not sharing me concerns. When it came time to leave, I found meself gettin' a bit misty-eyed. "Now, ye be good, Salty," I said gruffly. "No mutinies while I'm gone, ye hear?" The staff assured me they'd take good care of him. As I turned to leave, I overheard one worker whisper to another, "Is it Talk Like a Pirate Day already?" "Nay," replied the other, "I think he's just... eccentric." With a final "Arrr!" I swaggered out, secretly pleased to have found such a fine port for me canine companion. As I set sail in me car, I couldn't help but think, "Yo ho ho!. Salty be livin' like a king while I'm off... err... relaxin' on the high seas!"
My two kitties Tillie and Daisy stayed here for a week from 16th Oct 24. They were very well looked after, the lady who looked after them was great and even found the time to give them their Licky Licks. I called them while I was away in Spain, to see if they were okay and the lady who answered knew exactly which cats I meant and was able to reassure me straight away. When I collected them at the end of their week they were looking very well and healthy. They’d never been away from home before and are only one year old (sisters) so they were very excited when we got home. I was pleased they had been so well looked after.
A truly lovely place with lots of space. Definitely feels like the place caters to dogs more than cats which is unfortunate. I didn’t really feel like my cat had a proper handover on her care (her behaviour etc) as she gets very nervous at catteries. The handover was very quick. I didn’t really get a chance to say bye before she was taken by a young girl. I ended up picking her up a day early and I had no handover whatsoever on how she did. Did she eat? Was she okay? I have no idea. The two young girls holding her bag and carrier didn’t greet or say anything to me. I also can’t find a white kicker toy that we sent her with although I’m not sure if that was lost prior to us handing her over. This establishment is truly a beautiful place and we really wanted to like it as it’s close to us, but for the price and the experience we had, we’d only come back if everywhere else was booked.
i was anxious to put my cats here while i was going abroad, but the staff were so polite and helpful when i called with questions, and when i arrived with my cats they were so helpful, kind and asked all the questions i wanted to be asked like routine, eating, medications etc. they even sent me pics while i was away and missing the cats! when i came to collect them almost 2 weeks later, they were quick, and kind again. i am definitely going to continue using Hunters Lodge for all of my trips! such a great peace of mind and my cats definitely seemed happy when they came home!
Because of an unexpected hospitalization, we contacted the Hunters Lodge just before closing time, and they kindly accommodated our dog. The team was incredibly accommodating! The kennels were impeccably clean, and the staff was friendly, showing genuine love and interest in animals. The supervised play sessions for the dogs were excellent, and most importantly, our dog was pleasantly tired out when we picked her up. There's nothing to dislike about their service. I wholeheartedly recommend them!
My dogs have been staying at Hunters Lodge for 10 years and my cats for 2 years. It was a great addition when the cattery was up and running. The care and attention from the staff is of the best quality, as are the kennels. My rescue dog is not the easiest to manage, and not every kennel would take him on. So I cannot thank Richard enough for his help with this situation. Any special requirements and medicine giving has never been a worry and my dogs get so excited as soon as we pull onto the driveway, always a reassuring sign they love their stay here. Yvonne always greets you with a smile and a chat and keeps a check on things. I could never consider taking my fur kids anywhere else. Huge thank you from Lesley, Coco, Jet, Dexter and Darcy
Our 9 month old Springer Spaniel Freddie has been at Hunters Lodge for over 3 months recovering from a broken leg. A massive thanks to Richard, Hayley, Yvonne and all the team for taking such wonderful care of him. He is now home with our other spaniels and I am pleased to say has made a full recovery. Special thanks goes out to Sophie who spent so much time one on one with him along with other colleagues. We cannot thank you enough and the service and facilities you offer to both owners and their pets are first class. Thank you again from Karen, myself and of course Freddie.
Our dog is 13 years old, Cairn Terrier, he has some health problems, we didn't inform him about it, but the hotel owner was very kind and accepted him. When we picked up the dog, he looked very happy and even better than before. Now we’ll leave him here, I think he likes it. It is also very cool that i can book days of stay through the website, we came from London, but it was good idea, because service and people was very friendly. Also I like black dog in reception area. He likes our dog, it’s a good sign, because usually our dog not friendly at all.
We have been so impressed with Hunters Lodge Kennels as it was our first time we have used them and Richard and his team came highly recommended by friends that regularly kennel their dogs there. Our Springer Spaniel pup Freddie, broke his leg in December and needed specialist care. I cannot thank Yvonne enough for her attention and for organizing his care and to Sophie who has given love, attention and stimulation for such a live wire. Freddie is happy and healthy and half way through his rehabilitation under their care. Richard and Yvonne report back regularly with updates on his progress which is really important. The facilities are great and all staff we have met are enthusiastic friendly and professional. My husband and I would thoroughly recommend the services of Hunters Lodge Kennels to anyone. Thank you again to your team on behalf of us and most of all Freddie.
Absolutely can't recommend them enough. I'm always impressed when I turn up and they know my dog by name when they greet him (Frederick!) which is so impressive given how many dogs they see. They generally seem happy to see every dog that comes through the door. My dog has early onset dementia now and they have been fantastic in supporting his extra needs. I feel really confident leaving him here and the staff are all wonderful. Absolutely worth every penny.
We cannot rate Charlotte highly enough. Her patience (with dog and owners) is limitless and this clearly comes from her love for her job. We are learning so many techniques to handle our reactive dog. We feel confident knowing we can handle him and that training is a long haul road. The difference in our dog already is fantastic and we know we have further to go. Charlotte is dedicated to finding root causes for behaviour and addressing those, rather than quick fix remedies.
I took my 12 week old pup for his first "big" outing with Mrs Wiggles today for some and training and socialisation and can not recommend her highly enough. Both myself and pup really enjoyed the session, and had some valuable take aways. Looking forward to the next
Charlotte’s style of training is amazing. The dogs are getting stimulated with their surroundings in areas they would experience day to day, so getting the focus and working with them in this situation is rewarding and the dogs are learning how to behave in normal circumstances. My dogs also love Charlotte, she’s fun and loving with them and I do wonder if they would rather live with Auntie Wiggles lol I would recommend Charlotte 100% with training your fur baby!
We've had a great experience scent work for beginners training. Charlotte is very knowledgeable, friendly, patient and calm and clearly loves dogs. We can't wait for the next one. 🐾🐾 …
Charlotte is without doubt the best Doggy walker, trainer and boarder I've ever come across. She exudes passion and adores her doggies. Charlotte is experienced, insured, professional and insists that every dog she accepts has been fully vaccinated and had all the right checks before she takes them on. I interviewed 6 other doggy companies and Dog Wiggles Sitters was the only one I felt assured by. Mabel absolutely adores her and Symon and I feel completely relaxed knowing she is in good hands.
We went for a 1 hour Puppy Class, where Charlotte came to our house and made some notes about our lifestyle and our pup. She advised us to make a list of things we wanted to cover so she can tailor the class. We learnt a lot of things which we now need to unlearn and apply what she has taught which will be fun! She also provided her own treats and a free gift for us to try. Highly recommend Charlotte! Thank you for our first Puppy Class!
Charlotte is fantastic and helped us so much with our puppy right from day one. We had a home visit where she taught us so much and have been going to puppy classes every since. I cannot recommend her enough no matter what you need help with she is the lady to help.
I've started scent work training with my dog. We had our second lesson today and he was so happy to be there again, I know it's a hit with him. Mrs Wiggles is a calm and supportive trainer who gives clear instructions and lots of encouragement during the lesson. We get lots of information to work with before the next class. Also having the classes a month apart give us plenty of time to work together with my dog, setting him up to succeed, and helping with our bond. We will be back, it's a big thumbs up from us.
Obi had has first puppy training class with dog wiggles sitters this morning and loved it! I’ve gained some great training tips/advice and we will definitely be back next week!
What can i say? Reliable, professional, friendly and would trust with any dog. Charlotte loves the doggies and they love her. Only stopped using the service as retired and no longer need a dog walker. Daily photos and videos sent with updates and lots of different walking areas. Fantastic service.
I use Helen’s cat sitting services whenever I go on holiday and need someone to look after my cats. She is the only one I trust with this! 100% recommended if you are in need of a trustworthy cat sitter :)
Gary transported our Italian Greyhound puppy this week. I was incredibly impressed with the service from start to finish. Throughout the process Gary was extremely responsive, knowledgable and professional. He communicated regularly with both myself and our breeder and demonstrated a genuine interest in the welfare of our puppy, ensuring that he was kept warm, comfortable and settled during the journey. The added bonuses were that I was able to track his location throughout the transport, his prices were very competitive and he sent us a beautiful photo of our puppy after the journey. Thank you Gary, if I ever needed a pet transported again you would be my first choice and I would have no hesitation action in recommending you to others.
Gary is a fantastic dog walker, our dog absolutely loves his walks with him. Gary will often take amazing photos of Hudson whilst out and about, and will also update us as to his development and behaviour so we know how he’s getting on. Gary is very knowledgeable about dogs and obviously loves spending time with them, and is very patient but firm which is great for us as we’re new to owning a puppy. I would absolutely recommend Gary to anyone needing a trustworthy dog walker.
I used Northampton Dog Walker's pet transport service. Five stars!! Gary is very professional. He picked up my 8 week puppy from Liverpool and delivered to me in London safely. The price is very reasonable. The communication with Gary is very smooth. I would definitely use his service again if I need to and highly recommend him to anyone who needs a safe pet transport.
Gary recently brought our corgi puppy home for us from the breeder in Wales as we couldn't get do him during lockdown. Gary responded very quickly to my initial enquiry, and was flexible on dates to best suit us and the breeder. He was very helpful throughout, sharing information with us and using Google maps to share his live location so we could track progress when we wanted to. Fantastic service at a great price. Would definitely recommend and use his services again! Edit: I should add that puppy of course arrived safely, calm and happy despite a long journey!! Very pleased
Our pup loves his outings with Gary, who clearly knows his stuff and has been really helpful giving us tips for life with a new dog. Gary is always prompt, friendly and really ensures our dog has a happy outing when we’re unable to take him in the day. It’s been great to see the dog develop bonds with other dogs on his walks with Gary, which means he’s growing up really well socialised. Would highly recommend.
Gary walked our dog whilst I was waiting for and recovering from a hip operation. He was reliable, friendly, calm and thoroughly knowledgable about anything to do with looking after dogs. The photos he took of my dog were beautiful, top quality...this was an added extra that just happens to be his hobby. I can highly recommend his service . He is so accommodating and flexible. If I need the other hip replacing ( hope not) I will be back on the phone !!!
We have two large lively dogs who have really warmed to Gary. He came to our home to meet the boys a few times before even considering taking them out. He produced up to date DBS and insurance certificates without even being asked. Our boys have very different personalities and enjoy doing different things when they are out and Gary is very attentive to this. He sends me updates after every walk and has taken some gorgeous photographs of them (of which he had asked prior permission). As well as all this, he is great value for money! I would highly recommend him. Sadie Howton
I have had Zena walking my dog Fleur when I had to start going back into London working. Fleur loves Zena and always looks forward to her walks, whether it’s out with other dogs or just a 121 walk, Zena makes it fun for the dogs in her care. During the recent heat wave, Zena collected Fleur early each day to ensure she and the other dogs being walked were out before the day got too hot but also made sure that each day their walk was round water ensuring they were able to cool down if getting hot. I also get regular videos and pictures of Fleurs walks. A very professional and excellent service which I have no hesitation in recommending. Helen
Zena walks our dog Oscar on a regular basis. We are at a stage of which Oscar knows her name too well and is over the moon when she arrives. He is basically in love! Oscar is a lovely Lab who is absolutely full of beans and excitable by nature. Zena has been amazing with him. She helped him to gain confidence and he now enjoys walking with other dogs. Thank you Zena and Northampton Dog Walker, I would highly recommend.
Gary was excellent from the moment I called to enquire to the moment we picked our dog Thomas up. We had been let down by a dog sitter who was due to have our dog over Easter weekend and we only had a few days to make alternative arrangements. Gary was friendly and professional when I rang to enquire about availability and after checking the dates, rang me straight back to confirm. We were welcomed to visit with Thomas to ensure it felt right. Thomas was able to meet Archie (the family dog) and suss out the home. It was clear that Thomas would be happy there. On the day we dropped Thomas off Gary went through questions with us about Thomas and really made us feel sure he would be looked after well. Gary emailed several times over the weekend to update us on how he was getting on. Alongside the emails, we were sent beautiful photographs of Thomas which were a really lovely extra. We picked Thomas up and it was clear that he had been well cared for and had felt really comfortable. We would highly recommend the services of The Northampton Dog Walker and will be using Gary the next time we go away. Thank you so much.
