Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
Our dog loved Angela, as did we! She was friendly, efficient, handled our large, happy bernadoodle effectively and with love...we could not have asked for a better dog sitter and would be happy to have her back.
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.
Katie & Kevin jumped in last-minute, as our sitters had to cancel. And what can I say: We couldn't have chosen better even if we would had more choices and time. Katie & Kevin were so easy to communicate with and the first meeting and handoff were so easy and smooth. We could go on vacation with peace of mind knowing our dog and 2 ponies are in the best hands. Katie & Kevin: Thank you so much for looking after our animals so well !!!
Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.
Hamsa was very quick to respond in all communication. She was prompt on her arrival and listened carefully to our detailed instructions about the house and dogs. While we were away the amount of communication between us was just right. When we arrived home the dogs were happy and the house was in order. A good sign that a dog sitter paid lots of attention to the pups is when we see a bit of depression set in after a dog sitter departs - this did occur after Hamsa left our home She is a very caring and nurturing individual.
Katrina and her family were amazing house sitters who took wonderful care of our dog. Our dog is reluctant to go on walks with new people, but the entire family pitched in and found ways to take her to the park. Her daughter developed a particularly close bond with our dog. Katrina communicated us frequently and we always felt reassured by her messages. We returned from our long trip to a spotless home and a beautiful cake in the fridge. What more could you want!
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.

Excellent service. Great people who clearly love dogs. Cody, our Mini Schnauzer has stayed a few times now and absolutely loves it. He gets a holiday and a chance to play in open fields with other dogs. Would highly recommend - worth every penny to know your dog is well looked after whilst you are away.
The best and most loving doggy accommodation. A luxurious home from home. I wouldn't entrust my elderly dog's care to anyone else. Anthea and Kevin are fabulous.
Winston loves staying here and I know I can leave him and not have to worry about him at all.
Very Friendly with excellent care for our dog, Thankyou
Too expensive for us. We have two dogs
Excellent home from home for our four legged family member!
Not taking any dogs in 2022
Lucy is the ultimate in someone who really does care and has empathy with your dog. She has always been amazing - Ned’s coat is beautiful given the grooming she has given him over the years and now as he is growing old she has the most empathetic and understanding nature that’s means the world - Ned is always so well cared for……she is 5*
HIGHLY recommend Broadway Dog Groomers. Lucie is brilliant, so friendly and welcoming. My cocker spaniel has always found going to the groomers stressful. But he was perfect and has come home calm and happy. He also looks fab and so smart with his new haircut! Very happy 😊 Thank you Lucie. We will definitely be returning x …
Fabulous little groomers. Worked extra hours to fit my dogs in a short notice. Great price ce. The dogs smelled gorgeous when we collected and the lady was great fun to chat to. Would highly recommend and return when in the area again X
Lucie puts the welfare of the dogs first. My dog is very nervous and violently shakes when going to groomers or the vet. He loves seeing Lucie and is a good boy for her. He always looks a handsome boy after his visit. Thank you Lucie for taking the time to reassure him while he is in your care ❤️
Lucy gave my Cockapoo her first cut and she looks fantastic -Suki is totally in love with her!
Been going to Lucie for years now and she does such an amazing job on my terrier. ❤️
The best groomer around - Lucie just loves dogs and it shows - Millie always comes out looking like a princess 🐶 …
Very friendly and proffesional and treats the dogs with love as if they were her own. Gives out good advice when and where its needed. Highly recomend
Excellent little groomers. Lovely and friendly. My little dog came back looking and smelling lovely.
Extremely caring and relaxed environment for dogs to be groomed. Always excellent results and very friendly. 😃 …
We recently moved from the US to England and were very weary of leaving our precious dog with anyone while we are aware. Sam has made us feel more than comfortable leaving our dog in her care. She is extremely responsive and communicative while we are away. Our dog always comes home well cared for and happy. She created a warm welcoming environment for us and our dog. We are happy to leave our dog with Sam and would recommend her for anyone!
Wow what an amazing 5⭐️experience for myself and our 2 dogs .Sam was brilliant in her communication and sending us photos and updates . The girls came back so chilled . Thank you . Highly recommend . We’ ll be back 😁 …
I would highly recommend Sam at Barklife. She is lovely & very accommodating. She has been brilliant with our nervous & needy dog & really does provide a home from home for the animals. She cares for them as if they were her own pet. Really happy. 😊 …
We have been boarding our whippet with Wendy and Colin regularly. They are both so caring and professional in the way they look after Lola and their communication is excellent. We know that we are leaving her in good hands. She has always returned home happy and healthy. We would not hesitate to recommend the kennels.
We went to Turkey for our recent wedding. Mia our staffie was looked after by Wendy. Mia adores Wendy and we wouldn't let anyone else look after her. She's eleven now and we've been bringing her since she was a pup. We would recommend excellent value and care! Thanks, Andy Julie and Mia 🫶
Cannot recommend highly enough. We were really worried about boarding our dog. We did not need to board our previous dog so had no experience and no idea what to expect. Both Wendy and Colin impressed us immediately with their dog knowledge and attitude. He did not look back when we left him and was his normal excited self when we returned to collect him. We would have no hesitation in boarding him here again. Thank you both for taking such good care of him.
Recently put our dog Bailey in kennels for 1st time. Both Colin and Wendy were absolutely great, experienced in offering reassurance as I felt quite anxious. Came back off holiday, Bailey absolutely fine, good feedback. Both are very experienced and compassionate about dogs. Would highly recommend these kennels and certainly will be using them again.
We put the dogs Spirit and Honey into the kennels as we were having work done at the house which meant their was nowhere for the dogs while the work was being carried out. We can't thank Wendy and Colin enough. They were brilliant at making us feel confident in leaving the dogs with them and looking after their needs. Spirit is a sensitive dog and doesn't like change. We had to extend their stay at the kennels as we hit a few problems when the works were being carried out so it ended up being 6 weeks. We were worried about Spirit as when he has stayed in kennels previously he has always come back home poorly. We needn't have worried this time as they both came home happy and contented and Spirit was fit and healthy. We can't thank Wendy and Colin enough for their helpfulness and our weekly catch ups when we checked in on how the dogs were doing. We will only being using Rowan House in future when we need kennels and we would have no hesitation in recommending them. Tina and Christopher
Well. Just picked up Ed and Clary our very special rescue dogs. It's difficult to leave them behind but sometimes you just have to. I would not use any other kennels. Wendy is really understanding and takes care of the pups as if they were her own. She has a soft spot for Ed... Which is lucky because he has had a real tough journey in his early years and can be a challenge. Friendly, always accomodating even at short notice. Definately a five star service!!!
Wendy made us feel super comfortable leaving our 2-year-old Vizslador with her and Colin. We had a wedding nearby and Wendy was super accommodating.
Highly recommended! Wendy and Colin are wonderful with my dog - I always feel comfortable leaving him with them and he always seems very happy to be there!
First time Koda went into kennels and they were first class. Very helpful. He is going again next month and I know he will be well looked after.
Highly recommend Rowan House. Wendy and Colin were so accommodating and our lab was extremely well looked after. Will definitely use them again, thank you :)
We contacted Agnes when we were looking for someone to home board our Jack Russell, Poppy. We arranged to meet Agnes with her own dogs so that she could see how Poppy was with them. As Poppy is a rescue dog and had become very attached to us we were concerned that she wouldn't settle if we left her for a week. We needn't have worried though as she was very happy with Agnes and her family, and we received regular updates and photos showing us what she was up to. In fact when we went to pick her up she didn't seem too bothered and I think she would have been happy to stay longer. I would highly recommend Agnes Pet Sitting Services.
Highly recommend Agnes, who looked after our dog whilst we visited the RSC theatre. Agnes was very flexible with drop-off/pick-up times and responded to correspondence very quickly when booking. We were able to relax and enjoy the show knowing he was in safe hands. Our little dog very much enjoyed his country walk with Agnes and playing with the others who were visiting Agnes that day. Can’t wait to visit again soon! Thanks Agnes.
We asked Agnes to care for my son's Greyhound whilst he got married at a hotel in Stratford. Agnes collected him from the venue, brought him back to have pictures taken with the bride and groom and returned him the next day. We could not have asked for better service and Diego was settled and happy with Agnes. Would definitely recommend her. Thank you for the care and attention you gave Diego
Agnes cares for our four legged friend as if he was her own. She’s friendly, dependable, incredibly caring, and kind to the animals she looks after and walks. I’m so pleased we found her, she has helped us out for 3 years now, from early puppy visits to walks and occasional overnight stays.
Agnes is kind and thoughtful. She is loved my pooch and us hoomans. She has been a big presence in our dogs life since we bought him home and he's always extremely excited to see her. Can't rate her highly enough
Great service! Confident leaving Agnes in charge of Pru... Pru far more settled being looked after at home than in a cattery. Also great Agnes will look after plants and garden when needed... And looks after the bin too if needed! Thanks
We had the pleasure of staying at the Lygon Arms Hotel with our furry friend, and we couldn't be more grateful to Jackie from Cotswold Paw Patrol for her outstanding dog-walking and dog-sitting services. Jackie's love for animals shone through in every interaction. Our dog took an immediate liking to her, and it was heartwarming to see the bond they formed. Jackie's professionalism and dedication were truly commendable. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to fellow pet owners!
I love leaving my dog with Jackie. She is so conscientious about his routine, training and wellbeing. I love how she remembers all the details and things I've told her to look out for. She also send us updates on Angus' stay, and I feel really confident that she has the dog's beat interest at heart and Angus is having the best time when he's at Jackie's.
Jackie has looked after my Border Collie a number of times from a weekend to a full week and I’ve never had any issues. A meet and greet first which was a great idea, my dog Ollie, warmed to Jackie straight away and Jackie was great with him. Jackie was in contact during the times she had Ollie, she sent updates and pictures which was really reassuring. Each time I pick my dog up, he’s always been so happy and has definitely had a great time! Reliable, trustworthy and friendly. I will carry on using Jackie!
Really pleased with Sandy's stay with Jackie. Sandy is quite a nervous dog, and Jackie was brilliant with her. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Jackie and she was really well looked after. We are very happy to recommend her.
Thoroughly recommend Jackie at Cotswold Paw Patrol. She came over and met us and our dog, Bob, a few weeks before we were going away. She then came to stay at our house and look after Bob for a couple of nights while we were away. We were very happy with Jackie's approach and communications; she was very trustworthy and we could relax, safe in the knowledge Bob was at home and having a stress-free time (he can't go into kennels or mix with dogs he doesn't know). We will definitely be asking Jackie to come again when we need to go away.
Have been in contact with Jackie for 9 months trying to book our dogs in with her for our summer holiday. She cancelled our meet and greets numerous times, we were sympathetic of this due to the pandemic and we were very patient, we finally met her and arranged a trial night date that suited us all. After waiting for 5 days (with a further two messages from me) she finally sent over the form for us to fill out, she also then added £200 to our agreed price. Two days after this, with no warning she has then told us that our dates are no longer available. Would not recommend. Terrible service.
Jackie is a lovely lady and Toto took to her straight away. Her priority is the welfare of your dog whilst in her care. Feel very confident leaving Toto with her
Thanks so much for looking after Echo, he was happy to go and relaxed when collected, great communication, loved the photos you sent, will definitely use again and would recommend.
100% would recommend Creature Comforts! My excitable dog absolutely loves his group walks and always comes back tired out - which is certainly a challenge! Hayley and Paul have been absolutely great with him, and always flexible if you need to drop in an extra walk due to work commitments etc.
We’re really happy and pleased with the service provided, Ivy loves both Hayley and Paul so much and is always really excited to see them! We think the time she is out for on the walks for is really beneficial for her - she always comes back tired and well exercised! We like that she is able to socialise with other dogs in a safe environment, and they try to match the energies of the dogs to support this.
I have used Creature Comforts for the last couple of years and not only has my Tilly made new friends but I have too. Both Hayley and Paul have gone above and beyond with their support. They are friendly reliable and so very caring for the dogs in their care. Tilly knows the days when she is going out and she waits looking out the window. She really loves her time out with them and she even cries when they go I know that Tilly is having a great time and she loves to go out and have fun and I know that she is being well cared for.
I’ve been using creature comforts since Ozzy was a puppy so over 2 years now and they are incredible. Ozzy loves going out with his gang, so much so that he hates walking alone now. Hayley and Paul care for Ozzy like he is their own. They are flexible, reliable and responsive. Thanks to creature comforts I can go out to work without having to worry about my dog. I wouldn’t be without them! Highly recommend them to anyone who asks about a dog walker! Thanks guys xx
We would highly recommend. We have been using Creature Comforts for a year. Woody loves them. Every week he sits and waits at the window for Paul and he is so excited to see him. It’s nice to know Woody is getting the stimulation he needs. His recall has also improved from the walks.
Hayley walked my previous dog and now walks my very lively but loveable rescue puppy. The needs of each dog are very different but always more than met, and Archie has a fantastic time on his group walks. Being a lockdown pup and a rescue I was very concerned that he would have limited socialisation and the group walks and puppy socials have made sure that is not the case, he is growing into a well balanced dog with Hayley’s support. I always know that he will be safe, well looked after and happy, retuning from his walk excited to tell me about it and then fall exhausted into a deep sleep.
Dolly adores her walks with Paul and Hayley, they've concreted the training we started with recall and good manners. They're so accommodating and helpful. Definitely recommend x
My two dogs absolutely love their group walks with creature comforts. My once shy and timid spaniel who used to shake now runs to the gate when she’s collected. I’m really grateful For their professional and caring nature with my previous pooches!
My dog was terrible off lead before Hayley started taking her for a walk. She's taught her recall and just general walking mannerisms and it's now a delight to walk my dog! Couldn't recommend her enough. Luna always comes home tired and content and sleep half the afternoon. Good value for the amount of time she's taken on a walk. Couldn't recommend enough!!!
I have being using Hayley services for the last few years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I find her to be very professional and very knowledgeable in the services that she offers. She treats my dog as if it was her own and he looks forward to his walks with her. I couldn't imagine nor would I want anyone else to take care of my dog. I can not recommend Hayley highly enough. You will not be disappointed by the service you will receive if you went with her.
Really happy to leave our cat here knowing with confidence that he would be well cared for to the highest standard.I found the staff at Dolcot cattery to be genuinely caring ,helpful and would highly recommend their service.
Friendly and deeply caring cattery that is also very reasonably priced. Convenient drop off and pick up times. Good accomodation, excellent record keeping and good levels of contact. Always great service.
Our previous cat Larry was really happy going to Dolcot cattery, and our now cat Molly had six weeks there at the beginning of the year. We feel that they are treated really well and couldn't be happier.
A friendly, well run cattery. Our boy seemed very relaxed after his stay. Would be happy for him to stay there again.
My two cats Fred and Theo stay here every year they love it.they are well looked after and spoilt they will be 14 years old this year and haven’t missed a year.
My mini panthers, Henry and Harry, love coming here. They are so well looked after and loved. I wouldn't take them anywhere else.
brilliant care given to my cat honey.she loves it so much when being looked after during my breakaway s
Lovely people & a great place for your cat
One happy cat!
They were lovely people, Kept Ned safe and took him for lovely long walks. He had a massive doggy grin when we picked him up! I’d definitely recommend 😃 …
Chris has been extremely helpful with our Springer Spaniel Buddy. We’ve worked with him closely for a number of months and have made a ton of progress in lots of areas. Things were really difficult before we started working with Chris and it is a massive relief to be in a much better place now and have a lot of the negative behaviours under control. Chris was very professional and very effective. I am very grateful for the work he has done and could not recommend him more highly.
Chris has been doing training with me and Freddie for just over 2 months now. He is amazing with Freddie who gets so excited to see him each week! Chris really knows his stuff and is happy to adapt each session to whatever you need which has been great as we have worked on issues that have cropped up in a timely way. Would definitely recommend. Freddie is going to be joining Chris and Becs for doggy day care soon and we can’t wait as I know he will be in safe hands and have an absolute ball 😊
I have been having 1 2 1 sessions with Chris for my staffie pup. We got her at 8 weeks old and my older dog didn't take to her. I asked Chris for help when my pup turned 13 weeks and he has been amazing. My pup is now 20 weeks old and my 2 dogs get along brilliantly. Chris has showed me how to train my pup as well, she is coming on amazingly. He really is very good and knows his stuff. I highly recommend Chris if you need any help with training.
After making enquires to multiple dog trainers for our dog Henri, Chris was the most prompt to respond. Chris is a kind and approachable person who is instantly able to put you and your animal at ease. His training was suitable, adaptable and conducted in easy to follow lessons for both owner and animal. Nothing seemed to much to ask from Chris and he was always willing to be contacted at any time for advice after lessons. It is clear from the outset that Chris loves the job he does and it really shows.
Chris has been helping me and my dog Woody to overcome his separation anxiety and improve recall. I am very pleased with the results and Woody loves Chris. Chris has a lovely, calm manner and has been very flexible with session times and location. I would highly recommend.
I had 3 sessions with Chris and learnt that some of the issues were caused by me giving mixed signals to my puppy Indie. Chris has a really calm nature and positive approach. My main problem was with Indie and my 2 cats. Chris only got to meet Meggie but he could see how stressed out she was, my other cat mostly hides whilst Indie is around. It's still work in progress but I can now pick Meggie, and Bella up in front of Indie without her jumping and trying to grab them. Chris you'll be pleased to hear we had a breakthrough this morning, Meggie and Indie were both on the bed with me for a couple of hours. That's the 1st time in about 5 months, I was over the moon. We have continued to train and she's now playing fetch with only 1 ball and will drop it right at our feet. Chris you were a star and we can't thank you enough.
We were having issues with our dog Hari's anxiety and reactions around people. Chris spoke to me at length on the phone to find out Hari's background as a rescue and to assess how he could help. After just one session we were able to understand more about Hari's behaviour and implement some key learning to start making immediate progress. After a few more sessions with Chris we are thrilled to see Hari's confidence growing and having much less reaction. We've also decreased the "safety zone" as Hari is becoming more comfortable in closer proximity, in most cases. I just want to say a big thank you to Chris, for all of your help and advice, we couldn't have turned things around without your training. We feel so much more confident and in control, which obviously we know is helping Hari too.
Our Nicole absolutely loves her time in day care every week. Chris & Becs are lovely people and offer fantastic services. We had a 121 training course with Chris and he has patiently helped us get to the best solution. Also Bec's grooming is amazing and professional as well! Can't recommend enough!!!
We worked with Chris when we got our Puppy, Delilah. We did 6, 1-2-1 sessions with him where he helped us with lead walking, obedience training, separation anxiety, meeting/being socialised with other dogs and a lot of other things. Our puppy is now 16 weeks old and we get comments on how friendly and confident she is. I really don't think we could have managed this without Chris. So thanks, Chris!
We left our toy poodle Ruby with Chris last Tuesday who showed us nothing but kindness. We would absolutely recommend Bolstrode kennels. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dog!
Went above and beyond here for our little dog. Would gladly leave my animals in the care of these real animal lovers. Cannot recommend enough!
Our 3 dogs have stayed here a few times now. Very accomodating and friendly people who have a good knowledge and love of dogs. Visitors are welcomed without an appointment and kennels and runs are always clean. Our dogs have always come home happy after a stay at Bolstrode.
Always put the dogs needs first. Our dog has bee a frequent visitor for the last eleven years. She never has a problem going off with one of the girls. They tell us she gets many short walks per day. What can I say, we would be lost without them.
The first time I've used these kennels and I'm so pleased I've found somewhere close to home where I know my lovely, elderly dog is cared for so well. She needs cuddles as much as food and when she came home I could tell she had been really well cared for. The best kennels I've ever used.
I've been using these kennels for about 9 years now I think. My two staffies were always extremely well looked after during my regular 2-3 week visits to Australia, as well as shorter breaks. Over time Chris and Yvonne have become like extended family and I know I can trust them to do their very best for my precious cargo. I only have the younger one of the two now. Nowadays I live a 2hr drive away . However there is still nowhere else I would be happy to leave him for an extended period. Knowing he is safe and cared for and the peace of mind that brings is priceless.
Excellent kennels, our dog had an 18 day stay and came home A very happy dog, couldnt ask for any more really. Excellent prices and care, we will use this as our go to kennels from now on... they also do military discount which in England is a rarity, nice to know that there are people out there that actually appreciate what our soldiers do for us.
Lula our cockapoo stayed here for 2 weeks in may,first time she been away from us since having her,I've only met Chris and he was fantastic, Lula was well looked after and was so happy ,also Chris kept me informed throughout her stay,nothing was to much trouble thankyou so much,would definitely recommend xx🐶 …
We’ve used Chris and Yvonne numerous times over the last 4 years. Can’t recommend them highly enough. The dogs always come back happy and healthy
My dogs have always loved coming here it is a home from home for them.
