Dog Sitters in Birgham

Naomi's service has been a godsend to us after my husband suffered a stroke earlier this year. It has been a great help to know our dogs are looked after and walked. The dogs love going to the doggy day care 3 times a week .

We used Naomi when we visited Scotland for a few days and had our dog with us. He was only there a few hours but we could tell he was happy and had been busy has he slept all the way back!

It's my 3rd time using Sandy paws and love how good they are with all the dogs. They are very friendly and welcoming. My dog loves staying. I also love that they put up videos of the dogs as it's a comfort to see your dog settled and running around happy 😊. Highly recommend. …

My dogs came home happy and content after their holiday. One of them found her first experience of kennels rather stressful, and was particularly well looked after. I am most impressed by the excellent service.

Roux and Baxter love their weekly daycare trips to Sandy paws on a Tuesday and It’s lovely to know that when we go on holiday our dogs are looked after so well when they are in for boarding. Wouldn’t send our dogs anywhere else. X

Hector loves his time at sandy paws and he is always so excited to see Irene and Jonny. It's so reassuring to have somewhere to leave him when we are away where he is looked after so well and where he is happy.

Once again Meg stayed at Sandy Paws, impeccable service as always, Meg is always well looked after, thank you Jonny & Irene

Our dogs just love going to Sandy paws and we are so happy they are relaxed and very well cared for during their stay.

Johnny and Dougie alway happy to go to sandy paws great service and competitive priced 🐶 …

Great service, pick up & drop back home again after a day running about a massive field with all his pals living their best dog life. Highly recommended.

Ruby and Annie love there doggy daycare days cannot praise and thank you enough Jonny and Irene you just love and care for doggies much appreciated

Daisy absolutely loves Irene & Johnny with being a rescue she just needs that extra bit of love & care which she always gets at Sandy Paws.

Our gang of 4 cats Jack, Tink, Bella and Barney stayed with Laurie at Maple House Cattery just recently. The service we received and the care and attention my cats were given was just amazing from the start. Laurie has been extremely helpful and professional, inviting me to visit the cattery before booking to see the facilities and has been very understanding of everyones needs, including my own - THANK YOU!. Tink is a very nervous traveller (had a wee accident on route) and Jack requires medication twice a day but neither was a problem to Laurie who helped me clean Tink up on arrival and was more than happy to administer Jacks medication as needed. Bella was very nervous and stressed for the first day but Laurie soon had her coming out to say hello. We received an inital update and daily pictures, which was fantastic to see how well they were all settling in....some maybe enjoying the lovely cosy beds Laurie provides a little to much 😁. The cattery is kept impeccably clean. The facilities are new and warm with the cats getting out daily in a secure area for play time. We will most definitely call on Laurie at Maple House Cattery again and would without question recommended to anyone else looking for cat boarding facilities. We truly felt our cats were cared for and engaged with throughout their stay - this is not just your regular cat boarding facility! So thankful of your understanding through a difficult time for us and the time you have taken to look after our gang. Massive thank you to Laurie and all at Maple House Cattery 😻

Our boys had their first stay ever in a cattery. We are so glad that we chose Maple House. The boys settled in straight away and we were spoilt with photos & updates each day. Nothing was too much trouble for Laurie & we were very impressed with the cleanliness & warmth of the place. Can’t recommend them highly enough a safe & cosy home away from home.

We have used Maple House regularly since getting our (first) kitten and really feel like we have found the best we could have hoped for. Brilliant communication, always accommodating and plenty pictures and updates of play time. Can not recommend highly enough.

Had our cat Hamish stay here recently from Monday-Friday. Hamish was incredibly well looked after and Laurie kept us up to date regarding his eating etc. We also got plenty photos which was fab as we could see he was happy! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Very friendly service and nothing is too much hassle communication was great. The cattery itself is spotless and very well equipped and a fab size.

This was the first time I’ve ever put my fur babies into a cattery and I was slightly apprehensive 😕 But Maple house cattery didn’t disappoint and done a marvellous job caring and interacting with Grogu and Floki I highly recommend them and will certainly use them in the future 🥰 …

Laurie and her team are amazing. I needed my cat looked after whilst I moved and they were very accommodating. I got regular updates and pictures of him whilst he was in their care. Highly recommend and will use again. Thank you for taking such good care of my wee Mr T 🐈💕

Our cat loved her stay at Maple House and we couldn't recommend them enough! Not only did our cat have a fantastic time, but we really appreciated the updates and photos we received during her stay. Will be using Maple House again!

Our cat had a super stay at Maple House. We got regular updates on how she was settling in and the drop off and pick ups were very friendly. I would highly recommend Maple House. It is new, clean and fresh and the area your cat has to live in is very well equipped. 🐾 …

Our half Siamese cat who likes company and is very inquisitive was very happy at this fantastic Cattery. He received love and attention and was kept warm and snug in high quality modern cubicles. Angus was let out to play in two areas with cat tunnels and toys. The service and efficiency was excellent. We received WhatsApp posts with photos. There was even calm music in background ! I highly recommend Maple House and Angus will become a regular customer.

Maple House Cattery looked after our Zinc when we were away for a period of 3 weeks, from start to finish they were very informative, and kept us up to date mostly every day with pictures or information on how our cat was, which helped us both with being away for so long, we were so thankful. For future occasions we will most definetely be using their service and would recommend this 100% to anybody else thinking about it and willing to use this facility. No faults or complaints, we are both very appreciative of the time being taken to look after Zinc, A big thank you to Maple House Cattery.

Wow, what a place. Our dog Fletch goes weekly and has the time of his life. Social and interaction with other dogs and the human are great too. Picked up from home in the Hilltop Bus, fantastic day and then returned home. 5 star service and 5 star care!!! He sits in the window ever week waiting on the bus and gets so excited when they arrive.

Hilltop are amazing, all the staff I've spoken with or met are extremely kind and helpful, my dog Boba loves going there, I actually believe he thinks he's their dog too. They take amazing pictures of all the dogs and treat them all like there a part of a giant family. I couldn't recommend a better service, team and group of people. Also you get to enjoy a hilarious update of what your dog has been getting up too.

I started Nala off at Hiltops puppy school from approx 16weeks old and haven’t looked back since. She always so excited to go and has grown into a well rounded, super sociable, loving dog. All the staff are amazing and very attentive to ours needs. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Our Golden Retriever Finn has been going to Hilltop once a week since he was a puppy and we couldn't be happier. The team there are incredible, they've taken the time to get to know Finn helping him grow into a well rounded and confident dog. We love that we can ask any staff member how his day went and get a detailed report, a fun story, or even helpful advice on what we can work on at home. We're beyond thrilled with Hilltop and we know Finn is too!

Our dog has been attending Hilltop since it started, and our experience of it is consistently excellent across the board. From pick-up and drop-off (even when we're not at home) to hearing how he's doing, getting in touch with the staff to ask for extra days, swaps, etc., and seeing photos at the end of the day, every aspect of our interactions with Hilltop is first class. Far more importantly than that, however: it's so clear to us how much our dog loves his time there! He utterly adores the staff that pick him up, spend the day with him, and drop him off again, and it's crystal clear that the staff really care about and know the dogs as individual characters. He's got some really good pals amongst the doggies too, and we've seen him grow in confidence and sociability. We feel that he's in such safe hands, and we absolutely trust Jon, Mhairi, Claire, Carly, and the rest of the team to make sure that he has a joyful, enriching (and tiring!) time. Thank you Hilltop, and I'd highly recommend!

Millie loves Monday when she is at Doggy day care with her friends. Claire and all the staff are so friendly and really care about Millie’s needs. Would 100% recommend Hilltop

Our dog loves his day at Hilltop playing with his friends. The doggy bus is invaluable, picking him up & dropping him off. He is well looked after and I trust the staff to do their best for Teddy. We love waiting for the photos of his antics too. Can't recommend enough.

Our Springer, Archie loved Hilltop Doggy Day Care, from his very first visit for his trial session. He always seems to know when it’s a Thursday, he sits looking over the back of the sofa out the window, waiting for Carly to come & collect him. Then he can’t get out the door quick enough to see her and get in the van. One of our main reasons for sending him, is his lack of recall, daycare gives the freedom to have a good run around & play with other dogs. Can’t recommend them highly enough, we know that Archie is well looked after & enjoying himself.

Amazing day care. Harris starts his morning being picked up in the doggy bus by Carly. Always so excited to see her and cant wait to leave with her! The photos taken throughout the day and posted on facebook give a great insight to the fun all the dogs are having. Harris returns home always content and tired. Well done Hilltops

Fabulous company - clearly care deeply for dogs. Our fur babies can’t wait to get into the van when collected! Great to have a photo slide deck of who they were playing with and what they got up to after their ‘school day’ . Hilltop are careful about the group mix to ensure that personalities/behaviours are a fit. Great to know that they are safe and having the opportunity to play with dogs of all sizes. When they come home, they are just exhausted and very laidback. Big high 5 from us !!

Hazel looked after our Springer Spaniel Lacey while we were away on holiday. We were nervous to leave her behind as Lacey can get overwhelmed with new places and dogs but she fit right in. Hazel made sure to update us with lots of photos multiple times a day which made us feel right at ease - we could see how much Lacey enjoyed her holiday (especially stealing Fara’s bed)! We will definitely use Hazel again in the future.

Our 12 year old rescue dog, Brooke, spent a couple of nights here in August 2024 and loved her stay. We were a little worried beforehand as Brooke has only ever stayed with family but, honestly, we shouldn't have been at all concerned. Hazel views each dog's stay as their holiday and makes sure that they are integrated into the home, have plenty of walks and attention. We got lots of updates and photos to show that Brooke had settled and was enjoying her stay. Brooke is already booked in for a couple of additional dates following a successful stay :)

This is the second time Yogi has stayed with Hazel and family and I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough. I have always felt so comfortable leaving our dog Yogi with them and look forward to the daily updates and photos. You can see truly how happy yogi is when he is there. Your dog will be treated like family at the bed and bone dog home boarding and we love that. We are so grateful to have such wonderful people look after our fur baby while we are away.

Hazel looked after our dogs while we were attending a wedding and they couldn’t have been looked after any better! She sent me loads of photos and pupdates over the weekend and I could see they were happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend using this business as your dogs will be in safe hands. Thank you again Hazel and family 🥰

Rocco and Freya, both Spaniels, had a fantastic time on holiday with Hazel, Malcolm and family. The whole experience went very smoothly from the initial meet and great, trial sleepover and holiday time. I could tell from the initial meeting that Hazel and Malcolm both love dogs and made such a fuss (and friends) with them very quickly. Hazel was great at keeping me up to date with all their adventures on their walks and chilling at their house on the couch! Really a home from home experience! They had a fab time and got on so well with their dog, Fara. I would fully recommend Hazel - 100% and Rocco and Freya are so looking forward to their next holiday. Thank you both so much, it allowed me to relax and enjoy my holiday!

We boarded our two golden retrievers in September and could not recommend highly enough ! Our dogs were loved and cared and it was a joy to be away knowing they were being so cared for. Hazel and Malc have such a well run professional caring business and I will be using their service again for sure

Phoebe came to stay with Hazel and family for 3 nights, it was her first time staying away without us so I was a bit nervous but was put at ease immediately, from the meet and greet beforehand, dropping her off and lots of lovely photos and updates over the time we were away! I will definitely use Bed and Bone again it’s so nice to know she is being well looked after in a lovely home environment, when we picked her up although she was very excited to see us it was also lovely to see her obvious affection for Hazel so a big thumbs up from Phoebe too.

We felt from the outset that Hazel and Malcolm would take great care of our dog - they were kind, caring and very conscientious, asking all the right questions and meeting her (and me!) before she went to board with them. Our dog is a bit of a velcro dog, and we certainly felt she was well looked after and loved during her stay. We got lots of photos which was really reassuring as Vesper looked like she was having a great time!

Highly recommend Bed and Bone Boarding. Hazel is lovely and took care of my dog like he was her own. Lots of walks, pictures and updates. I have already rebooked. My dog loved his stay ❤️

Heidi loves her time with this family. They treat my dog like she’s their own and Heidi never wants to leave. They take her great walks and I get so many fabulous updates which makes me feel confident that she’s in great hands. Heidi and I are so grateful for them and their excellent service.

We discovered this little gem of a place. Leaving my little 6 month old furbaby for the 1st time I was extremely worried she may fret or not eat but from day 1 Elaine put me at ease & kept me updated with messages and made my little Minnie part of the family showing her lots of love, attention & care. Elaine is such a lovely lady & it’s clear to see she loves her animals infact Minnie was reluctant to leave & tried to go back into her kennel. She’s came out happy & healthy & a little chubbier due to her gravy bone treats. I highly recommend & will be booking again for our next holiday. Thank you so much Elaine I felt like I left her with a family member.

Such a lovely lady, who clearly loves dogs. We had to attend a funeral in Galashiels at short notice and she kindly agreed to look after our dog while we were there. It’s not often you find such generous hearted people. She is a gem and I would highly recommend Arthurshiel Kennrls.

Had a great time with the kittens and looking at the cats. The staff were very helpful when asking any questions

Elaine is without doubt the best place to leave our dogs. They absolutely love to see her and dropping them off I know they are in safe hands, so no longer spend our holidays worrying about them as they've been coming for 5 years now. Darcey and Dakota always remember Elaine and maybe even sulk on coming home as she is so lovely!

Perfect place to leave my GSD, they know the breed and my boy is very well looked after. Totally recommend Arthurshiel if you want a professional kennel to look after your best friend.

Lovely staff and all the animals are really well looked after and loved. Came away with a lovely cat called Cheeky, she's beautiful x

Have used this place for several years now. Adequately priced. The dog seems to be well looked after. Will use again.

Elaine is a gem! My dogs were well looked after, so much so they were happy to go back! 😊 …

My dog is enjoying another stay there while I'm on holiday, always well looked after.

Having lost our 18year old cat and unsure whether to replace her with another moggie, we are being allowed to visit for cat cuddles anytime till a new fur baby comes into our lives!

Kevin is amazing with our two bunnies. Been taking them here the last few years. He is so caring and knows them so well, he gets to know their personalities and makes sure they get plenty excersise. Always really friendly! Would recommend to anyone without any hesitation.

What a lovely caring man Kevin is ,& what good care he took of my rabbit & all the other animals there. He really gets to know their personalities & works to make them feel relaxed. I will definitely use him in future & recommend him to anyone else.

My hens and duck boarded here. Kevin was extremely helpful, accommodating and put my mind at rest from the offset. When I met him I found somebody who truly cared about birds and was definitely going to look after them well. I had an update that they had settled in which is so reassuring. My girls came home looking fit, happy and healthy. This is true value for money in a caring and secure environment with somebody who went the extra mile to ensure my needs were met.

Always leave my Rabbit Bluey with The Fur and Feathers pet lodge. He's always well cared for which gives me peace of mind. Highly recommend!! Wonderful People.

I have used Fur and Feathers many times to look after my chickens when on holiday. The service is excellent and Kevin is always helpful and full of useful advice.

Always happy to leave my hens here when I'm away. I know they are safe and well looked after.

Lovely people home from home for animals. Our dog is well cared for and loves going. I would recommend this place.

Excellent place. They take great care of our bunnies.

I use them every time I go away and have been for years now. Highly recommended.

Friendly and really take care of your pet. Recommended.

Ruth at PetStay is an absolute legend. Every time I’ve needed to book our toller in she’s linked us up with a wonderful carer (same family every time luckily, our dog loves them). She also linked a family members dog up with a carer a week before our wedding when there were no other options which saved the day. Fab service and can’t praise enough 😊

Could not recommend Petstay or Ruth highly enough. Immediately felt at ease during our first meeting with Ruth and Ann & Les. It is very obvious they love dogs and Max could sense that too as was not bothered when we left him. Regularly updated with photos & videos of his adventures. Max had a ball. He can't wait for his next visit in a few weeks.

Avoid, avoid, avoid. Pet Stay said they could cover a weekend for me. Booked to meet a carer - I had to take a day annual leave because the carer’s availability was so limited. Pet Stay cancelled this at short notice. They then rebooked me with someone else. This was also then cancelled. Spent a month wasting time emailing back and forth in total. This seems like a really disorganised and unreliable company - I’d not trust them with my dog.

No pet sitter availability in EH5/6/7/8/9 Post codes.

Fantastic service, I will be using Petstay for my dogs whenever I’m out of town.

My dogs didn't even want to come home with me, highly recommend!

Bertie is really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. My two dogs love their walks with her when I’m away and can’t do it myself.

Coldingham Pets cared for our dogs, whilst we enjoyed a trip to Edinburgh. From start to finish, it was an excellent experience. Bertie is organised, reliable, professional, prices reasonably and most importantly has a genuine affinity with animals. We were impressed with the questions she asked and her eagerness to provide a bespoke service. We highly recommend Coldingham Pets and will definitely be using the service again in the future.

Bertie takes care of my girl B when needed, I love the photo's that arrive when they're out on a walk, so reassuring as an owner and very thoughtful. Fantastic and reliable service, B really likes being with you, thank you Bertie xx

Mildred was well cared for while we were on holiday. Daily WhatsApp messages and photos. Will happily use Coldingham Pets on our next holiday.

Would definitely board here again having 3 border collies 2 boys and a girl they definetly had a ball the 2boys had a bit of discrepancy which was sorted right away they definitely know how to handle dogs thanks Shona and Stephen and the rest of the staff

The times they offer for both daycare and boarding are not suitable to many people with actual lives. The man was rude down the phone as I didn't understand why I couldn't have my dog boarded for more than 4 hours over the weekend. This left us pretty stuck with care. Can't understand why they have business as their attitude towards potential customers and unusual open times makes no sense. I've seen many boarders and day cares over the years and this is the strangest one yet. Unhelpful and misleading in many ways. Don't take my advice...ring and work it out for yourselves.

Amazing staff, great location and brilliant price. Doyle is always happy and well looked after here. Happy to have found somewhere decent after the hell we went through elsewhere 10/10

Had my boxer in for the weekend with Stephen and his staff, he had an absolute ball and was so well looked after. Would highly recommend using these kennels for your fur babies. ⭐️

I would like to thank all the staff for looking after our wee boy Max. We have never used kennels before and to be honest we were a little apprehensive, but after picking him up and getting him home he seems fine.Still as mad as ever and no change in behaviour at all. We as a family were impressed that the kennels made sure Max was up to date with his vaccinations. Thanks again

It was a very bad experience. The guy was very impolite and rude. The prices weren’t what they were on the website page. It’s impossible to collect your dog on a Sunday. It means that you need to take an extra day off just to collect your dog. In conclusion, I don’t recommend leaving your dogs there.

More than happy to have my ageing pooch here. Good, kind people. I put 4 stars as I've used these kennels only four times so not that experienced.

My little pooch seemed to have a good time there and more importantly he liked the people if not the other dogs

Perhaps might have lost half a star thanks to confusion over our booking bit but otherwise seemed well set up.

Nice Friendly people

From the moment our dachshund Frank stepped into 'In the Doghouse' home boarding, it was clear he was in for a treat. Jen and her team introduced him to Lilly, Baxter, Penny, and Paolo during the meet and greet, making him feel right at home among his furry friends. Every day, Frank relished lengthy beach walks with the gang, soaking in the joy of the outdoors. Jen's personalised care made us feel like Frank was part of their family, we highly recommend this home boarding experience to anyone seeking a warm, loving environment for their beloved pets.

As our dogs are not just pets they are family, it is very hard to find people who we can fully entrust and have peace of mind whist we leave them. We can not fault Jenni and her care, we have 3 large breed dogs one of which has nervous aggressive issues, so obviously we wouldn't dream of leaving him in a home boarding situation, clearly this is setting him up for failure and putting other dogs at risk. However our other 2 love Jenni and family and we don't give a second thought to leaving them. I am highly picky as where I leave my babies and cannot recommend this place enough, not only do I fully trust the care and love they receive I also trust their choice of client therefore I'm assured my pets will be safe and happy. Well done guys great to see people doing a job for the love of animals and putting their needs 1st 👍

Absolutely Amazing home from home boarding for dogs. Jenni and her family welcomed Hunter into their home with lots of love & affection. Lots of updates on all the fun Hunter was having with the other dogs and when Hunter was unwell they were totally exceptional in the love and care they gave her until we returned from holiday. I highly recommend using In The Dog House.... ⭐️Thanks Jenni !

Since moving 2 years ago we have used In the Dog House regularly for our miniature schnauzer Bruno. To say he adores going is an understatement as he impatiently scratches at their door to get in or by their gate even if he’s not going when out on a walk. I absolutely love that I can see how happy he is and know that Jenni, Gordon and Georgia treat him just as if he is theirs when they are looking after them. Best dog sitters we have used by far!!

With 2 large bouncy dogs I’m extremely cautious about leaving them with anyone, and both being rescues they have their “quirks”... Jenni took the time to meet us all beforehand, and took in all my rabbling and concerns, and made me feel much more relaxed about them staying. From the minute they got to “in the dog house” I could see they were given the care and attention as if they were Jenni & Gordon’s own. The regular photos and updates on social media further confirmed it! Kael & Finn had an absolute blast, and were spoiled rotten with love and exciting walks. Wonderful people, offering nothing less than a 5 star service. Cannot recommend enough.

Jenni and Gordon and their daughter Georgia are the best there is. Millie loves going there and it really is home from home. I just wouldn’t go anywhere else. Every time we pass the house Millie keeps trying to get back in. Every time she sees them she practically wets herself with excitement. I love that we have somewhere for Millie to go where she is loved, is safe and is happy.

Cannot fault the service provided by In The Dog House. The owners are lovely and want your dog to be as happy with them as they are in their homes. Dogs get fantastic walks and fun (woods, rivers, the park) and I love that all dogs that stay are vetted beforehand to make sure they are friendly, will fit in with 'the pack' and not cause anyone's dog anxiety. My dog loves staying 'ITDH' and it show by his waggy tail. I also love that there is no limit to the number of cuddles he gets, he gets to sleep on the couch and we get photo updates while our dog stays with them. If I could give 10 stars I would!

2 nights cost me £270, my son had to collect the dog after 2 nights, no refunds. Ruby hated her stay there.

Attitude! Would NOT recommend.she says my dog is aggressive, she can't control her dogs, attacked a little dog in the village the other week.Did she apologize........ No.She also tried to kick my dog when he was a puppy.shouldnt be allowed to look after other people's dog's!!! I'll tell the truth unlike you Jenni the liar

Fabulous place to leave your beloved dog when away. They will be treated like one of the family. Excellent
