Dog Sitters in Dumbarton

We have used Gio for over 6 years now and not only is he reliable, professional and experienced in what he does but he is also so passionate about the dogs. He has such a lovely relationship with them all and our big guy absolutely loves him. They have a special bond as he walked him from a puppy. Gio has a lot of experience when it comes to training and the recall on our dog was so much better after a couple of walks. Highly recommended.

5 stars is honestly not enough. Gio is super. Really professional, reliable and literally treats your dog like his own. He is so genuinely invested in the love, care and welfare of all his dogs. He walked our Vizsla from 4 months to just over a year (we moved out of area after this) and he really helped with his training over those tricky puppy and teenage months! You're not just getting a dog walker here - Gio always gave feedback and training suggestions too so we could holistically cater to our boy's needs depending on his development. He was also wrecked after his pack walks, which is saying a lot for a wildly energetic Vizsla!

Gio has been walking our dog since she was a puppy (over 6 years now), he really takes time to get to know the dogs and their personalities. She loves her pack walks with her gang and is always excited to see Gio. Would highly recommend!

Gio has walked my dog since she was a puppy. She just loves her walks and has so much fun with her doggie pals. My pup is quite nervous generally, however when she sees Gio and her pals she gains her confidence and has the best time. Gio has such an amazing way with the dogs he walks, people often think she’s his dog on walks such is the bond they have my Molly is beside herself when she sees him or hears the van ! I trust him 100% with my fur baby 🐶!

Gio, Has walked our dog Rosie for over 5 years and she loves going out with him on a twice weekly basis. The walks have also helped with her obedience and being friendly with other dogs. Rosie has also boarded with Gio in the past and is one of the family. I would thoroughly recommend Gio and his service

Gio has walked our three springers for the past couple of years. He’s great with the dogs; he’s very knowledgable and helped to train our dogs since they were puppies. Our dogs love their walks with Gio and we’d recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker.

Gio has been walking our Cocker for years. He is very reliable, flexible, a great trainer and extremely knowledgable. Gio always goes above and beyond for his Dogs, he loves them and loves what he does. It’s more than a job, it’s a lifestyle. I wouldn’t have anyone else walking Sam and I’m certain Sam would agree! Highly recommend.

Fantastic dog walking service and definitely second to none. My Saroo loves his time out with Gio and is so excited every time he hears the van stop outside. His recall has vastly improved and I couldn't be happier and trust anyone as much as I do Gio with my boy.

Brilliant dog walker, goes out of his way 2 accommodate clients, all the dogs love him. Monty, my Border Collie, just loves his walks with K9 Services. He even does everything that Gio asks of him... something he dossnt always do for me!!

Our dog paddy loves going out with Gio, he treats all the dogs as his own. Gio’s great at keeping us updated with how paddy’s getting in with his pack walks. Highly recommend.

Alan is amazing with my dog Ritchie. He is Ritchie's best mate and my dog sits at the front door for over an hour waiting for Alan to arrive to take him out. He is very flexible and thinks the world of all the dogs he walks. They get an excellent walking experience on every walk and he regularly shares photos of the dogs having a ball. I would highly recommend Paws Inn. Best in the Shire.

My boy has been with Paws Inn for years now and he absolutely loves it! It’s his favourite time of the week. Allan is brilliant, he takes great care ensuring he’s clean and dry after his walk and treats him like his own. I always get updates and pictures too! I highly recommend Paws Inn and can put my full trust in ensuring my dog is in the best hands! 🐕

Allan is great with Lexi. I know that when she is out for her walk she is taken good care of and is having a great time.

Allan is fantastic with all his dogs that he walks. My dog has been with Allan for years now and loves his dog walk days. This is a really professional dog walking business and I would recommend to everyone.

Allan has been walking my dog for a good while now and always takes them in great walks. The dogs are well looked after and no matter the weather they always come back dry and clean. Great service from him all the time

This Dog Walking and Day Care business has recently changed ownership. I can't make any comment to the last owners as I never used the service. I have now used the service twice. I was initially filled with trepidation at the thought of leaving my 3 girls, esp Ruby with someone they didn't know. I needn't have worried, they were happy, happy, happy to be with Alan and I was absolutely delighted with the service he provided. If o could award more than 5 stars, I would. I highly reccomend Paws Inn and will not hesitate to happily leave my girls here again in the future. Pawsitively Perfect.💜🐾💜🐾💜🐾💜

This cattery is great for your cats. The old guy that runs it is friendly and helpful. The cats have run out the back and can come into the warmth or run around outside in their run. He is also very reasonable priced!

We have always been very happy to leave our cats here, they are clearly well looked after, and given individual attention to minimise boredom. Thoroughly recommend.

Owner very nice , friendly and welcoming and great value for money . Would put my cat in again ,very happy.

My cat was well looked after and would not hesitate to leave him again.

Looking after two cats. Excellent care. Nice, clean facility. Highly recommended

Boarded numerous cats for a long period some years ago. Excellent, well run cattery would highly recommend.

Great service provided, Would definitely recommend and 100% use again when required.

Use this cattery all the time owner very good and caters for all food types

I would not board my cat with any other cattery he loves it at brawkatz

Would not board my cat anywhere else

Trina and Gregg have known my pup since she was just over 11 weeks. She went to puppy club to help socialise her and then onto pack walks. They are great with the dogs and keep you up to date all the way. My dog Bute just loves her walks and is so happy. Highly recommended.

Trina has been looking after my two 'boys' Alfie & Teddy for almost two years for both weekly walking and boarding during holidays. The dogs absolutely love Trina and get so excited when I mention her name and rush out the door when she comes to pick them up. My dogs are like my children and Trina treats them like that too and I can totally trust her to look after them. She is totally reliable, always accommodates last minutes requests for me and is great value especially having two dogs. The walks are varied and it's great for them out walking with other dogs. I'd highly recommend Trina if you're looking for someone to look after your dog. She's the best!

Trina from It’s a Dogs Life has been walking my dog for over 2 years now (since a puppy). I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her. Trina is professional & extremely accommodating and my dog absolutely loves his walks with her and the other pack dogs. She considers the dog’s confidence and behaviour before joining them into the most appropriate pack walk. What I also love, are the photos & videos she takes when on her walks so we as owners can see what our fur babies have been up to. I also use Its a Dog Life for boarding and I know my dog is treated like one of her own. I would have no hesitation in recommending It’s a Dogs Life.

Trina had been taking my dog for puppy club and now group walks this year. It has been great for his socialisation skills whilst he's still a puppy and young dog and he really enjoys it. He gets really excited when I mention her name and will wait at the door when he knows she's coming to take him out. I trust trina to look after him just as I would as she treats him as her own. Would recommend!

Trina has been taking my staffy Luna for walks and boarding from summer 2019. Trina has helped us out with boarding and walks during some tricky times, often last minute too so she's been a god send at times. Luna absolutely loves going out on her pack walks, she loves it so much that when she hears Trina's van outside she goes crazy. Luna always arrives back from boarding knackered (which is lovely) I feel at complete ease leaving Luna with Trina overnight as she is spoiled and pampered just like at home. I highly recommend It's a Dogs Life for walking and boarding services, Trina is a gem.

We have used the services of Its a dogs life since June / July of this year, I can honestly say its the best thing we have done for our dog. He is really well looked after by Trina and gets some amazing walks / socialisation with other dogs. Trina treats Jura like her own dog and even on the most trying of days with Jura he still gets a cuddle. I trust her completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.

My cockerpoo Clio has been going to daycare with Trina and Greg for a couple of months now and she loves it! It has also really helped with her separation anxiety so that's an unexpected bonus.

My little Bobbi goes to daycare with it’s a dogs life, he absolutely loves it, and he also stays overnights occasionally with Trina and Gregg… they do an amazing Job and I thoroughly recommend this daycare x

Brodies just back his holiday with Trina & Gregg he had a ball & I didnt have to worry about leaving him Also Trina sends pictures off Brodie while with them so you can see how happy he is. xxx

Marnie can't wait to get to daycare with all the other dogs, she has a fantastic time when she is there ,she loves it. Thank You. I.A.D.L

Our dog George (see photo taken by Elaine) has been visiting the Happy Hound Hotel for 8 years and we think the set up there is brilliant. The best bit is that the dogs are free to come and go between the house and the yard as they please, and they get a big field to run around and play together for exercise. This is so much better than being stuck in a concrete cage and getting a perfunctory walk around a yard, which is the set up at the other places we looked at. Elaine is really nice and looks after the dogs well. One time I turned up with George unexpectely as there had been a mix up on dates. I turned up at Elaine's front door and her husband answered it (holding a new baby). As he wasn't expecting me he had every reason to be a bit put out, but the way he greeted George it was like one of his family. In summary, a great place for your dogs; I can't recommend it enough. Only thing to watch, is book early as places get booked up quite quickly.

We're really happy that we found the Happy Hound Hotel as our two dogs love it. The rooms are great and the outdoor space is brilliant with different enclosed runs and a big paddock for the dogs to play in. Elaine is great with our two girls, one of which is a rescue, and she is happy to cater for raw food as well. She sent us lots of pictures when we were last away and it was great to see the girls so happy. So much better than traditional kennels.

We've been using Happy Hound Hotel for our dog for a few years now and we highly recommend this place. We love receiving photos and updates about our dog and it's reassuring to know he's having a wonderful time and he's settled. We love the outdoor area and the clean rooms provided for dogs. We think of the Happy Hound Hotel a holiday home for our dog where he has a chance to play with other dogs and run around. We are confident he's well looked after as as he will be at home. Please book well in advance as the demand is high for such a good service.

The Happy Hound Hotel have been looking after our much loved dogs for a good number of years now. Our first dog had boarded in a few different places both in Ireland and Scotland but never seemed to enjoy the experience - the Happy Hound Hotel was just a world apart. He was so relaxed and happy and as an owner you know when they're really content and they happily skip back when they get to visit again. I was worried about leaving our second dog but things couldn't have been better. The premises are beautifully decorated and kitted out with lovely beds, sofas, decor - the only difference to other hotels are the very happy dogs enjoying the amenities instead of humans! More important than that, Elaine, Andy and family are so good to the dogs. Quinn has been treated like one of the family and even the children remember the dogs by name and the dogs are as pleased to see them. The dogs get fantastic walks in the stunning surrounding landscape and the genuine loving care that you would give your own dog. Make sure you book early as they're rightly very popular and fill up much more quickly than most places. I think everyone who's used them turns into a returning customer for life!

We spent a lot of time taking advice and visiting Many local boarding options for our two very special Samoyed twins. For us it was almost love at first Sight Happy Hounds Hotel is quite frankly like no other. Elaine the owner is very friendly and attentive And frequently sends us photos of our two On what’s app while we are on holiday. It’s so much Easier to enjoy your time away knowing your paw Family are settled. The set up at happy hounds is perfect plenty of secure gates lots of exercise areas and numbers strictly limited to 8 boarders. All of whom must pass Elaine’s friendly test before being Admitted to this 5 star hotel. Our only issue is the fact our two don’t want to leave when we pick them up on our return 😃. Well done Elaine and family don’t know what we would do without you guys keep up the great work. 😃

Calvin our cockapoo has been going to the Happy Hound Hotel for his summer holidays and other short breaks since we got him three years ago. He’s always well looked after and happy there. We didn’t want to put him in kennels and this is a great alternative. The dogs have much more freedom and a comfy room to stay in. Elaine the owner is lovely. She sends us photos while we are on holiday. Calvin always looks happy running about the fields. Calvin always looks well cared for when we pick him up at the end of our break. Highly recommended!

We left our 4 year old cavachon with Elaine and Andy for 2 weeks .It’s the first time we’ve ever left her and Elaine sent us pictures of her throughout her stay . We could see how happy and well cared for she was . I wouldn’t ever hesitate to leave her with Elaine and Andy , she had a ball and we had peace of mind .

We have been a regular user of the Happy Hound for 7 years now and my dog loves it. Elaine & Andy are great & I have no worries about leaving my boy with them. They have the dog’s best interest at heart and make their stay with them comfortable & fun. On my summer holls away I get photos & regular up dates on how he is doing & I think I am missing him more than he misses me. I would definitely recommend the Happy Hound hotel. We would be lost without them. X

My dog loves his stays here, flys out the car and doesn't look back. Great secure areas for dogs to run about.

The best dog place ever. I have not booked holiday if I can’t get my girls into the Happy Hiund Hotel. They love it. It’s like a home from home and I feel really safe leaving them there. Elaine is really lovely and cares about the dogs she looks after. Highly recommend her and also the dog grooming business she does too.

I can not rate glendale kennels highly enough. Staff are brilliant with my dog he loves going his holidays there he is a timid dog but is no bother when he is there Thank you for looking after bailley so well I would highly recommend putting your dog in Janice Goodfellow

Great place for our dogs,staff are brilliant ,and good pricing.

Munro stayed for 5 nights and came back happy, so well pleased. Great kennels,vworked for us, recommended.

We have been takeing our dog there for a week in February for the last 15years whilst we stayed at a local Hotel. The staff are amazing and the dogs are always happy.

Absolutely fab place for our 2 boys, well looked after and have never had any issues. Diesel and Gizmo seem to enjoy their stays and I would highly recommend. Extremely reasonable price wise also as I have used other places and they are already booked in for their next adventure 😀 …

Very friendly owners and staff. Managed to accommodate me at short notice before holiday. Dog was settled and happy with his stay. Would highly recommend. Thank you guys 🙂 …

You can tell that a Kennels is good to your dog when you come to pick them up after a stay and they are affectionate to the staff. Left dog here for a day to attend our wedding at Loch Lomond and couldn’t be happier. Dog ate all his food which is a good sign he wasn’t stressed out too.

Very good and reliable staff on Sunday very pleasant. The kennels are very clean and both my dog's are very happy with there stay so big thumbs up and would highly recommend them. P.S the bill was not to heavy.

My dog loves this kennel. She is a very hyper 3 year old staffy and they are great with her she leaves here very happy! Always my first choice for Bella definitely highly recommended 10/10

First time being away from our dogs never mind putting them into Boarding kennels and we are happy to use Glendale kennels again..When we went to pick our dogs up they were running between us and the worker not able to make their mind up who to go with.. so we thought that was a good sign that they were being treated good when we were away and plan on using them again.

I use Barry to walk my two dogs every week very professional service.

1st time at this kennel. We will definitely be using them again. Knowledgeable & friendly. Bernie was tired from playing and socializing.

A caring and reliable service, my dogs did not want to leave.

Lucky loved his stay at Dougliehill. Good value for money, cared for as one of the family, great fun socialising with the other dogs and lots of exercise in the yard. Lucky will be back 😀 …

Cracking kennels, friendly staff, dogs are well looked after.

My pups favourite place. I can rest knowing he is safe and happy while I'm away or working all day. The people who run it are amazing and caring.

Thanks Liam you've restored our faith in Dog Boarders. Levi had a great time and we won't hesitate to book him a longer stay Thanks fir helping us.

Had to find Poppy kennels at short notice and Dougliehill where fantastic and took her in for a week. Can't thank Liam and family enough and will certainly use you again. Thank you.

Obi loves it at dougliehill

Very friendly, great location, & very reasonable rates, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend using these kennels. 🙂 🐶 …

Friendly owners our koda loves going here

I found Ali on Facebook last year when she was launching her Mantrailing sessions. I’d been looking for something to do with my anxious dog for a while, it’s important to me that any trainer is force free as the last thing my girl needs is any further knocks to her confidence. Mantrailing with Ali has been the best thing we have done, trailing has built my dog’s confidence and improved our (me and my dog’s) relationship. Ali totally “gets” my girl and her advice and support is the best of both worlds…both empathetic and based on the latest science. More recently we’ve also started attending “Scent Club” with easy activities for us to do at home to stimulate (and tire out) this hyper gun dog. They say your “tribe reflects your vibe” and when it comes to Ali’s classes and clubs nothing could be truer. Everyone who I’ve met at the many things we’ve attended with Ali has been great to be around. We all have the same ethos when it comes to our dogs and we have a good laugh too, I mean how could we not, this is Ali we are talking about! If you’re looking for something fun to do to get out of the house, while being great fun for both you and your dog, get signed up for Mantrailing with All Wagged Out… It could change your life!!

Alison is a lovely force free trainer, she genuinely cares about the dogs and puts their needs above everything else. I love that she’s constantly updating her knowledge, ensuring she gives the best most up to date training. Highly recommend.

Can highly recommend mantrailing and especially with All Wagged Out - Dog training & mantrailing Supportive, fun, experienced, fully qualified and encouraging. I've mantrailed regularly with Alison since summer 2023. Her sessions are awesome, always amazingly well planned and hosted with efficiency & expertise but also unrivalled fun. She has some of the best venues for mantrailing ever. Ali's speciality is definitely her famous events- mantrailing Halloween, mantrailing Christmas, mantrailing valentines, mantrailing birthday parties, haggis hunts. Soooo sooo much fun for the dogs & their handlers. The community that she has built with her clients is exceptionally lovely and supportive. I'm blessed to have Ali as our instructor & dog trainer. Thank you for everything that you do.

Having used Alison’s services for both boarding and dog walking for over 2 years we have nothing but good to say of her. Her rapport with the dogs is excellent and she goes way above and beyond being just a dog walker. We would trust her implicitly with our dog anytime.

We had a great experience taking our puppy Nelly to training classes. Alison was always very attentive to each dogs needs and took time to answer all of our questions.

Would highly recommend All Wagged Out. Alison is amazing with my dog. He loves his walks and sleepovers. Thank you Alison for providing such a great service 🐶 …

She has a real affinity with the dogs and they respond to her well. Never without a smile, you can see she loves dogs. Would happily recommend All wagged Out.

Great service from AWO. My two loved their walks and sleepovers. From pups to old dogs AWO always catered for them. Highly recommend.

Brilliant dog walker! Seriously interested in the I dividual dogs needs and temperaments. Very reliable and great with my awkward rescue collie 😊 …

Lady Roxy loves Doggy Carers. waiting impatiently every morning for one of the team to pick her up.. so excited to see them every day. The fun she has with the other dogs makes her so happy and always tired out at the end of the day. We have used Doggy Carers for boarding on several occasions and its just like home from home for Roxy. A clean, safe, fun environment for dogs to have some great times and be looked after just as they would be at home.

I use Doggy Carers every day to walk and look after my dog while I work. He waits patiently at the window and is so excited to be picked up. He absolutely loves his time with the other dogs. The team are friendly, professional and great with the dogs. Highly recommend this service.

Boarded our 2 dogs for the first time when we recently went on a cruise.Very professional set up, dogs were introduced gradually to detect any signs of aggression. Videos were posted on Facebook daily so we could see them on their walks which they thoroughly enjoyed. Dogs appeared to have a great couple of weeks socialising with their doggy friends.

Extremely arrogant and unprofessional man. Property stinking of cannabis. Horrible experience.

Very friendly efficient staff great dog walking service.

Thanks Kirsty, Hunter is such a lovely wee dog, we love having him with us on our group walks

I don't know this person so I can't imagine why they would rate my business at two and not leave a comment to justify the rating, it is possible they are mistaking Doggy Carers with another another business. For real feedback go to our Facebook page and see all the fun our dogs have when they are with us alongside all the 5 star reviews we have.
