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.

Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Cristina is simply the best house/pet sitter that we have ever had. She is responsible and dependable and an experienced dog owner. Our Wheaten, Bridie, adores her and misses her when she leaves.
We initially accepted Deirdre and Jason for a long stay to look after our dogs. We were very happy they accepted. A few weeks later we realized we needed another sitter for another trip we had planned. So, we posted more dates on zeewoi. To our happy surprise, Deirdre and Jason reached out to us saying they could also look after our dogs and home with the new dates we posted. This made our life much easier and we were very confident to have Deirdre and Jason stay longer with us and care for our dogs. We were definitely right!! D&J have countless experiences on zeewoi with very good reviews from all of their previous sits. They are very experienced with all aspects of a house/pet sitting. D&J are very self-sufficient, have the background knowledge and education of pet care, and most importantly a genuine love for all animals. This is most important for my wife and I. We knew from the first meeting with our pups they loved animals. Communication was excellent. The process before and during our sit was stress-free for us. We were given daily updates on our dogs including photos and videos. Any concerns D&J had were vocalized to us. D&J are also problem solvers and know how to react many challenging situations. Our routine for our pets was followed immaculately and all dogs were very happy and connected with them. Even our female dog Kinki grew close so quickly with D&J which is very rare. We had ZERO issues while we were gone and we were able to really enjoy our trip while we were away. The dogs definitely love being around D&J. Homecare: We are very pleased with the condition of our home when we returned. It was clean, free of clutter, and exactly how we had left it for them, if not even better! D&J even mowed our grass and took care of our yard! Our yard is not a small garden. It is very big and takes hours to mow. So we were very surprised and excited to know they did that for us even though it's not expected of our sitters!! They definitely went above and beyond what is expected. Our dogs are so very important to us. When we know we can trust our sitters it's the best feeling in the world. We definitely trust Deirdre and Jason with our most prized possessions and we look forward to the next sit with them in a few days!!! We can't thank them enough for giving our dogs the love and attention they deserve. We highly recommend Deirdre and Jason for your future sittings and you can always feel free to contact Izabela and I about D&J for additional verification from us. They are fantastic! Thanks so much Deirdre and Jason! -Allen and Izabela
Christina is the best house and pet sitter that we have ever had. She leaves the house immaculate. She is independent, reliable, and totally professional. Communication is excellent. In terms of pet care, Christina is special. I think that she is a dog whisperer. Bridie, our crazy Wheaten, adores her and is sad when she leaves.
Charlie was again an outstanding sitter for us whilst we were away at a wedding. This is the second time having Charlie and although we have not met face to face we completely trust her with our home and of course our cat, Nala. Charlie left the house spotless which is amazing to come home to after a long day of travelling. She is reliable, good at communicating and trustworthy and we would not hesitate to recommend her enough. Thanks again Charlie, we hope you come back again and there might even be a dog next time😁
Liz did an amazing job babysitting our home and our pets (3 cats and a dog). Communication with Liz was easy and we felt at ease knowing that everything was being taken care of. Liz took our dog Summer for daily walks and kept her entertained. We got regular photos of our pets which were great. She even looked after and watered many of our outdoor and indoor plants! She was very tidy and our home was left spotless. If you are looking for a sitter we can't recommend Liz highly enough!
I could go on forever because Veronica was beyond incredible! We feel so fortunate that she was able to sit for us. Our fur babies were so spoiled with love and attention. Veronica followed their regular schedule, gave our dog her joint supplement, and helped clean her paws with medicated wipes from our vet. Our cat is very shy and sometimes doesn’t even come out for sitters and he loved Veronica! She brushed him and gave him so much love. They were both so happy when we came home. Veronica went above and beyond for us! She even made us masks, got us some disinfectant spray we haven’t been able to find and to top it off she made us bolognese sauce with sweet chicken sausage! She even left us a new box of pasta to make when we got home! We couldn’t believe we got to come home to an incredibly clean house, dinner and such happy pets! Veronica sent pictures and updates daily which made our time away even more relaxing. She took cleaning and sanitizing very seriously which we appreciated so much! We highly recommend her! She treated us, our home and pets just like family. We would love to have her sit for us again and are so grateful for everything she did for us! Also - dinner was delicious!!

Tracey is nothing short of a kitty-cat goddess! She visited my feline companion Sandy once per day to lavish him with food and love whilst I was in Berlin. I was very nervous about leaving him, but Tracey was so reassuring and sent videos and photos of him every day. He adored her from the first meeting. I'll definitely be using Fur Babies again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tracey 😽💕❤️
Tracey has looked after my cat Luna several times now. She’s such a lovely, kind and caring woman. The videos and photos after every visit are amazing and so reassuring that Luna is well. I will highly recommend Tracey to anyone looking for a pet sitter 😻 …
Have used fur babies many times now and I can’t recommend enough. The updates daily with photos and videos is a lovely touch. I am rest assured my cats are well looked after.
Tracey is just amazing! She is reliable, very responsible and kind. Our cats love her and trust her, and so do we. I don't worry about my gang at all when Tracey is taking care of them. Definitely would recommend her to anyone without a second thought.
Fantastic service , Tracey was absolutely lovely and the cats took to her straight away ( cats know good people ) , I had a week away and lots of photos sent every day with updates . Your babies are in safe hands 🙌 …
Tracey at Dunfermline is absolutely marvellous in every respect. Communication, affection shown towards my cat, attention to detail in feeding and care, and feedback videos on how he is doing. I cannot recommend her too highly.
Written by Sarah: 5 stars isn't enough! I was nervous leaving our cat for the first time but Tracey was really understanding and I felt instantly reassured. She is so caring and our cat loves her. Had whatsapp updates which show a happy cat :) thanks Tracey for looking after her so well!
My cat had the pleasure of having Tracey's company for 10 days whilst we were on holiday. Tracey was fabulous with my cat and could see from the daily videos how taken he was with her kind words and loving manner towards him. The biggest compliment is the cat didn't seem that fussed to have us home. Not really sure he noticed we had left. The reassurance that the cat was being well cared for and given his daily medication in his own home was amazing. I would highly recommend Tracey for your cats needs. Thanks again Tracey and will be in touch next time we get the chance to get away xxx
Tracey was absolutely fantastic looking after my two kittens 😸. She went above & beyond with the care she gave on her twice daily visits. The videos & photos after every visit were lovely & so reassuring (I was very anxious leaving my babies). Tracey clearly loved my kittens from the moment she met them & they loved her. She has such a lovely, kind & gentle approach - which was seen from the initial visit & on every visit to my kittens. The videos sent often made me giggle as my kittens were clearly having so much fun playing, loving the cuddles & were helping Tracey clean too 😀 I will highly recommend Tracey to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She goes above & beyond. Thank you for looking after my babies so well. I would be delighted to have Tracey look after my kittens again in the future. Beyond a 5 star 🌟 review.
Tracey did a very good job looking after our 5 cats while we were on holidays. It was such a relief seeing videos and photos of them, knowing they are in caring hands. She won the trust of 2 of them straight away! Happy to recommend Fur Babies to anyone looking for reliable person to care for your furry treasures.
Boarded our 12 year old Benji with Catrina for 5 days. We were not sure how he would be as he has recently lost his twin brother. We shouldn’t have worried as he was very well looked after. Definitely would recommend Catrina and would not hesitate to use Dogs at Spencerfield again
"5 Stars for Catrina! This was the third time Catrina looked after our two Maltese girls, Molly and Bow, while we were away. They are quite spoiled at home, and we needed someone who could match the love and care they're used to. Catrina did just that and more. She kept us updated with messages and photos, showing us just how much our girls were enjoying their home away from home. It was so reassuring to see Molly and Bow relaxed and happy. We can't thank Catrina enough for her fantastic care. It's a huge relief to have found someone who truly loves animals and treats them like her own. Thank you so much, Catrina!" Looking for our next holiday knowing that we can leave our girls with you. 😍 highly recommend Spencerfield
My pup crew, Bubble and Teddy, have stayed with Catrina on three different occasions now and I cannot recommend her enough! This wonder woman isn't just a dog sitter, she's a dog whisperer extraordinaire. Bubble, my high-maintenance diva, gets endless belly rubs and long walks throughout the day, while Teddy, my cuddle monster, receives expert-level snuggles that would put a professional cuddler to shame. They come back happy, healthy, and sporting suspiciously wagging tails, which tells me they've been living the good life – long walks, endless treats, and maybe even a secret stash of squeaky toys. And it's not just the dogs she spoils! Throughout the day, I always receive adorable photo and video updates! Both of my fur babies stayed with Catrina last Christmas and she also gifted them both a present! Talk about going the extra mile (or fetching the extra ball?). I honestly wouldn't dream of using anyone else when I travel. So, if you're looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond, beyond, and then some, do yourself (and your pup) a favor and book them at Spencerfield. You won't regret it, unless maybe your dog isn't as excited to see you when you pick them up as you'd hope. (Just kidding... mostly.) 10/10. Thank you for always watching my pups!
Our dachshund Seve has been staying with Catrina several times a year for the last 11 years. He absolutely loves his time with Catrina & Kobe. He is treated like one of the family & he has so much fun when he’s there. We’re always happy to leave Seve as we never have to worry about him when we’re away. Would definitely recommend Dogs at Spencerfield
I cannot rate Catrina and Dogs at Spencerfield highly enough. My little munchkins have been going over to this luxury home from home 5⭐️heaven since my oldest was around 4 or so months. The lovely wee doggies get the real ‘red carpet’ treatment, including all the walks, snacks and pupper enrichment their little hearts could desire. They also get evening sofa snuggles too! When my boys are staying with Catrina and her family, I know I can relax and really enjoy my time away. Catrina provides regular pupdates and is great at managing my eldest boy’s special dietary needs which really gives me peace of mind. Dogs at Spencerfield is truly a unique business and I would never consider boarding my fur- babies anywhere else. Dogs at Spencerfield is fully council licenced which is such an important fact, particularly nowadays when everyone and anyone seems to be ‘doing dog boarding’. When I collect them after my holidays, I can tell they have had a whale of a time! Thanks so much for all you do for us Catrina, Kobe and the gang, love Lauren, Duke and little Blue too 🐶🥰🐶
We have been using “ Dogs at Spencerfield” for a couple of years and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Our dog is always happy to be left off in this home from home environment. It is definitely our number one choice. Thank you Catrina and family.
Our Yorkie stayed with Catrina in February and we could see from the first photos already that he was very comfortable there! I'm very satisfied and I know I can trust Catrina, I will certainly be using this service again!
Our dog has stayed with Catrina and family many times and seems to love it! Catrina regularly sends pics and “pupdates” on how our dog is doing when staying over which always helps when you’re missing them!
Our shih tzu girl has now been 3 times to Dogs at Spencerfield and would recommend the service to anyone looking for a first class dog boarding. Catrina is very professional and friendly. Misty has always been looked after very well and we trust Catrina with her. We know she has a good time and loves to go back. And gives us peace of mind when we go away. If you look for a safe, loving and beautiful, tranquil away home for your dog, Dogs at Spencerfield is perfect.
Arranged for our Corgi to stay here. Had an introduction at the premises where Catrina met us and our dog, and we signed all paperwork. Agreed on a date for a trial night which was then changed by Catrina, so we changed plans to accommodate. We were then emailed by Catrina 4 days before the re-arranged trial stay, to be told our dog (who she already met) was not small enough to stay, meaning we had to again cancel our plans, at our expense.
We have recently introduced our Alaskan Malamute to Rowan Sands Pet Hotel, and he's been absolutely loving it! After having some issues with previous kennels, causing some behavioural issues it's amazing to see him be so comfortable and happy with this new environment. The owners are/have a great team working with the animals, and as James is a certified dog trainer, we are very much put to ease knowing himself and the team can handle our boy and any issues that may arise. They also offer some amazing advice and training programs if necessary so all round can't fault them at all. Keep up the awesome work guys! 👏
First time for my boy but he had a ball. Well looked after by James and Danielle. Booking very easy and already booked in some future dates. Kennels are warm and comfortable and got plenty of exercise during 1 night stay. Highly recommend 👌 …
It was our 8 month old pups first time in kennels and we couldn’t have a picked a better place to leave him. When we first dropped him off he was quite scared as everything was new but James sent us regular updates and videos of him having a great time. When we picked him up 5 days later he didn’t want to leave! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere safe to leave their pet.
First time at very short notice I had my 2 dogs booked in with James and Danielle. I knew they were in safe hands and had continued communication as my pup is very hard work so I was stressing a little. Very confident and relaxed about sending my dogs here every holiday now. Fantastic set up and great business to deal with. Thanks again Gordon
Our dog Nala stayed here for 9 nights. She was happy & well cared for during her time at Rowan Sands. James was very welcoming and made us feel at ease leaving Nala in their care. I would definitely recommend! Thanks again for taking great care of her & keeping us updated on her stay.
Would recommend, owners are really accommodating and very nice to deal with. Our dog came home after his stay happy and healthy, glad we found you and will definitely be back! Thank you
What a lovely kennel, my crazy border collie loved it here was well cared for would defo book him in again
Cannot rate these kennels highly enough. Spotlessly clean, dogs exercised individually in safe enclosed fields. You can tell the staff love their guests. Unsurprisingly popular so book well in advance
My dog got a badly split claw, & these incredibly kind people saw her promptly for me before their working hours started officially & helped us out without taking anything for it. So kind. Would definitely highly recommend them
Fantastic kennels. The team were brilliant with our 2 dogs, really impressed with how settled they are coming home, especially our very nervous dog. Great facilities, great runs to keep them exercised. Can’t recommend highly enough and will definitely book them in again.
Put our dogs bonnie and cooper in for just over two weeks. They are 10 years old and have never been in kennels before. They were looked after very well, came home happy, healthy and in great spirits. Thank you so much to the team at mayfield for Looking after our furry family. Would definitely recommend and will use again in the future.
The company consists of a responsible and highly professional team that will not disappoint anyone. I suggest you trust them, as they are governed by excellent service and always willing to support us. Our dog Blueberry is thrilled every time we are about to leave her for a holiday, and that is sufficient proof for us to feel relaxed during this time. Thank you a lot, amazing 'aunt' Vicki and the whole team; you are doing a great job!
I've been sending my cat here for a year or two, and she always comes back so affectionate and wonderful. Great staff and I love the Facebook photos. Thanks!
Having only rehomed our cat three weeks before our holiday, I was a bit dubious about leaving him in a cattery. I can't recommend these guys enough, they allowed us to drop him off at a later time, due to the distance we were travelling and also to visit him several times throughout our holiday. The cat pens are spacious and incredibly clean. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and most importantly our cat was happy when we collected him. We will definitely be checking for availability here on our next trip north.
I use these kennels with both my collies. One sadly died and we replaced him with a Bassett Hound. Riley (the Collie) came home and the first thing he went for was the water dish, and he drank for ages. When I put Riley and Freda in for a week, I told the teenagers that took our details before we left to go on holiday, I told them to remember to give Riley and Freda a lot of water, that was not a problem, The dogs got home and both hit the water bowl when they came in. Now I feel like my wishes aren't being listened to. That being said they are good kennels.
Cannot recommend this business highly enough. We have booked our dog in for both longer stays in the past and day-stays recently when we have been marketing our house. The kennels are always accommodating to our needs (have booked some stays the day before) and the biggest compliment I can give it that when we go to drop our dog off he is genuinely excited to trot off with whoever greets him.
Left our two Border Collies here for a week while we visited a medical clinic down south. Both dogs looked very happy and stress free upon our return. The whole team are very friendly and professional. No worries leaving the dogs here again.
Miriam looked after our Cavapoo puppy Max for a week. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We had regular updates on Max throughout the week who was well looked after and cared for. We had complete piece of mind during our holiday. Miriam was great to deal with, she also provided us with a lot of useful tips and suggestions with Max going forward. She is very knowledgeable about dog breeds in general. Brilliant service and Max will be back for his ‘pawlidays’ again soon 🐾
Fantastic service throughout. Our little dog was well looked after and had a great time meeting new friends. It truly is a home from home service and we are already booked in for another. Thank you for all you do.
Gave me some very helpful feedback regarding my 2 doggies, although she couldn’t board them herself she was super insightful and gave me some other trusted boarder recommendations!
Honestly what a genuine lovely lady miriam is although she was fully booked on the dates I needed she went above and beyond with lots of helpful information moving forward, recommend advice she gave, the amount of time she took out her own day to talk with me reassuring me and going threw option I'm so grateful for. I would highly recommend her service based on our own chat for the last 2 hours nothing was a problem if anything I have gained knowledge/ understanding of my own wee dog this lady is hands down a lovely soul thank you Tanya x
I have been using Bespoke Home from Home Dog Boarding for many years - the first time was just after Miriam started it all! Border collie Mac was just a young dog then and he was always well cared for and given that extra special love and attention that you want for your special pet when you have to leave them. We have had 4 different carers over the years and all have been excellent. We now have two dogs, 2 border collies Mac and Midge, and whenever we leave them, we are confident that that they are in safe hands and that they will be cared for as you would care for them yourself at home. Sometimes, it is hard to tear them away and bring them home, they have had such a great time!! Thank you! :)
Unfortunately she couldn't board my dog, but she spent a lot of time with me trying to help me out. A very helpful lady who gave her time when she didn't have to.
Bespoke Dog Boarding was highly recommended to me by my vet. I telephoned the owner of the company and we had a detailed chat about my dog and his requirements, also his daily routine. I was most impressed by the owner of the company and can tell that she clearly is very knowledgeable about dog breeds in general. I was concerned that my dog who is a loveable middle aged lab, would be home boarded alongside, for example, a "Staffie" but after reading these other reviews, I am delighted to say that dogs who some may consider as potentially dangerous breeds would not be allowed to board with Bespoke Dog Boarding. This gave me peace of mind. I then met with one of the dog carers, who fell in love with my boy straight away and vice versa. The carers home and garden was beautiful. We spend over half an hour with the carer and played with my dog in the garden. I could see how happy he would be if he were to come here for his holidays. I have now used Bespoke Dog Boarding 3 times this year already as the service is fantastic. The dogs receive 3 or 4 lengthy walks each day, loving home comforts, constant companionship and I also received updates during my holiday followed by a selection of beautiful photographs after my holiday, showing Bailey having a super time with another 2 dogs from different families. When I collected him, he didn't want to leave!!!! I have now highly recommended Bespoke Dog Boarding to all of my dog friends. I would advise others to make a booking months in advance of your holiday as they are usually fully booked 6 months to a year in advance by all their regular clients. However I have sometimes asked for a short notice booking and if they have availability they will take Bailey. To the team of dog carers who may read this, thank-you for providing me with total peace of mind and I look forward to using your service for many more years to come.
Used Miriam for my dog Bailies 14 years at least three times a year and couldn’t fault her. She dosnt take dangerous breeds which I feel is a great thing as it is only for the safety of our own dogs . I can’t beleive the below negative posts when thease people have even used the company because they didn’t make it through the strict criteria . Well done Bespoke for not taking any dog just to make more money . Fabulous service and genuine dog lovers .
Had a good phone call with bespoke she gave me good advice highly recommend her will use her in the future thanks so much
Murdo has been looked after by Colin & Mary on several occasions. His second home, I have no problem leaving him and know he'll be well looked after with lots of walks and cuddles.
We had a wonderful experience with Angela! She helped us out last minute and took our dog for the day when we went into Edinburgh. She was so friendly and kept us updated with photos of our dog. He is very attached so didn’t like being away from us, but relaxed and came back to us full of smiles. Highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing! Angela loves dogs so much. This is evident in everything she does with them. Always gives u 110% and is someone you can completely trust. She was my kids babysitter before moving to dog walking. She now walks my dog! I really do recommend.
I am really happy with the service Ziggy's Zoomies provided. Angela is very conscientious and I felt completely reassured that my pet and home were in great hands. Angela was also great at sending me wee updates so I knew that all was well. Very happy and I would definitely recommend. Thank you Ziggy's Zoomies!
After looking online for a dog walker I came across ziggy’s zoomies and then the following morning not planned we met in the grass area that the back of qmh While ziggy give Charlie the lowdown I got the lowdown from ziggy’s mom, Charlie started his walks and in weeks Angela had him off the lead running with the guys in the group So it's a 5 from Charlie and I 🐕🐕 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Fantastic service, trusting and caring, great communication. Higher recommended. 💪🏽 …
My pooch loves her walks with Steven. His weekend walk has been a life saver. If I could give 6 stars, I would.
Reilly dog has been a regular customer at Happy Pet over the years. Great, friendly & professional service and we would recommend Steven and his team without hesitation.
The Happy Pet Company were so lovely and efficient. We originally hired them to cat sit for our two cats for a week, but due to circumstances had to cancel a few days which they were happy to do. They updated us daily and sent pictures. Our cats can be quite fussy with who they respond to but instantly they greeted Steven which was a relief. We will certainly be using them again.
Steven is absolutely amazing and max loves both him and Sharon - my life would be a lot harder without their help.
I was introduced to this company 2 years ago, Stephen and his team are very professional and my dog couldn’t be happier when he is out in a walk, which makes me happy! Highly recommend.
Fantastic reliable service. Really good communication and a website providing daily feedback. Will definitely use again.
Fantastic dog walking service from the whole team
Amazing people
Julie took fantastic care of our dog Islay when we went on holiday, she sent us daily updates and pictures of all the activities she did with islay. She even bought her a new Kong ball when islay lost her original. She clearly has a passion for what she does and is extremely professional and capable. Would highly recommend and will be definitely using her services again
Would highly recommend Julia to look after your dog. She looked after our puppy for 4 weeks and will definitely be sending Lexie back to her when we go on our next holiday. She sent us regular photos and updates and kept us informed when Lexie had a mild reaction to some salmon oil. Lexie had an amazing time with her and would love to go back! 10/10.
I would highly recommend Julia to everyone who loves their dogs. Julia was looking after my dog for a couple of days and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. I have been receiving regular updates about Lexi and photos from her daily activities. Knowing that Lexi was so well looked after allowed me to enjoy my time away from her. Lexi came back home very happy too. Julia is amazing in what she is doing and you can see all dogs loves her too.
Our beagle x Luna has now stayed with Julia 3 times and I now wouldn't think of placing her anywhere else whilst we go away. Luna has been to kennels once and it was completely the wrong situation for her but now we have found Julia we no longer worry if she's OK. We have just got Luna back after a 5 night stay and she is a very happy doggy. After her stay in kennels last tear she was very different with us and had developed some bad habits. Now when she goes to Julia's she is dragging us to her door and is still the same dog upon return. This time she didn't even notice we had gone, she ran off to play immediately. Julia sends us updates everyday, letting us know she's getting the best care. Luna is treated like one of Julia's own, Luna adores her. You won't find a better place for your fur baby than with Julia.
This is the 3rd time I’ve left my Kobe with Julia. It was my first time leaving Kobe so I was very anxious. From the very start , Julia put me at ease and she took Kobe for a few sleepovers before we left him for his holiday. Julia, is absolutely fantastic, I feel totally content when I leave Kobe with Julia. It’s just home from home. She is so good to him, he gets loads of walks, attention and snuggles. Her own dogs are absolutely adorable 🥰. Julia, keeps me well updated, she sends me loads of pics and videos which I absolutely love , he always looks so happy and getting these just makes my day. I highly recommend Julia, I wouldn’t leave my Kobe with anyone else now. Thank you so so much Julia for being so kind and caring to my baby boy and looking after him so well for us! Kobe is looking forward to his next stay with you. Xx 😘
Julia has been amazing with our Nyra. She updated us everyday and was super good to our girl. You can tell she loves dogs, not only the experience she has but the love is important too. I’m so happy we’ve found someone who Nyra loves. She looks super happy in all photos and is well taken care of. Won’t go anywhere else now. Fair prices, excellent service and cares for her clients. Thanks Julia.
Julia was looking after our dog for about 2 weeks and we could not be more happy with care that our dog received. We have been updated with photos and activities on a daily basis. Really recommend Julia’s service and definitely will get in touch in the future.
Our dog mollie had a lovely time with Julia and her dogs! Julia was in regular communication throughout and kept us updated with lots of pictures. Would highly recommend and I’ll definitely be using Julia’s services again!
I was attending a wedding and needed a dog sitter (I live in Cheshire) Julia was recommended to me and she did an excellent job looking after my 10 month old pup, who can be a bit timid at times. He had an afternoon of fun and adventures. I loved getting photo updates of what he was doing. I would use Julia again if I needed her.
My pups had a great time with Julia. It was their first time away from home so I was a bit nervous but no need as Julia sent me photos and videos of them having a great time. Would definitely recommend!
Just Picked up my two happy boy's, who clearly enjoyed the wee holiday at Puddledub Kennels. The guys at the Kennels are very friendly and helpful and clearly they all love dogs as my Two Springers Albert and George were happy to be with them all. Kennels are clean and tidy and all dogs are well looked after. This was the 1st time ever leaving our dogs in Kennels and I would definitely use puddledub kennels again. Thank you sooo much to you all 😊
Absolutely brilliant. Staff love the dogs and give them a lot of time, over and above what is necessary! Can't praise them enough ❤️❤️❤️
Our 2 kittens were very well looked after at Puddledub while we went on a weekend away. 2 happy and content wee boys. Great value for money and the staff were lovely. Will definitely use them again.
The first time we've used Puddlebub Kennels, very good impression. When we dropped him off and picked him up, there was plenty of staff around to help, all of them very friendly. He'd obviously had a good experience as he was his usual happy cheerful self when we picked him up. Will use again for sure.
My dogs love this place, staff are friendly and take good care of your pets
Absolutely brilliant place for my dog to go and I know he is safe and well looked after. Alan, Michelle and their son Andrew are just amazing with all the animals they look after. Caring and thoughtful. The staff they have working with them are just a fabulous team.
Great kennels, Michelle and the team always look after your pets well.
Collected our big boy this morning. This is his second stay here - well looked after again, cared for - happy boy. Staff are amazing 👏 until the next time. Thank you 😊 …
Left my dog last year for a week, nice team. I'm getting back this year for sure. Good pricing and a good place, open space for dog walk and sunny (safe) spaces for the dog to stay outside.
Amazing with our dog while we were away on holiday in july
Our Shih Tzu, Mikey, is regularly at Blairadam Kennels. For longish bookings, also the odd day here and there when we can't take him with us. Clearly, the kennels are very kind to him & he must have a great time as he's always happy to go back for another stay. Mo is a real diamond who is always prepared to help. On one occasion, we had forgotten a vet appointment, but Mo saved the day by taking Mikey herself. We highly recommend Blairadam Kennels Colin Campbell
I first met Mo a couple of months ago after I contacted her regarding my almost 4 year old GSD (Riley) who can be very challenging to introduce to new people due to stranger reactivity when approached. He has also never been kennelled before. Mo was amazing with Riley and knew exactly how to handle him. We met numerous times in bite sized chunks and built up to Mo walking Riley on the lead and petting him etc before he stayed for a few hours a couple of times and then over night prior to leaving him for 16 days (all of the initial with no charge!) Before we left I knew Riley had built a relationship with Mo and trusted her but was a bit worried he’d think we had abandoned him having never being in the kennels before and perhaps be a bit mopey and not eat as much etc… WELL I needn’t have worried one bit! When we got back Mr Riley had had the time of his life. He was happy to see us for about 30 seconds and then was pulling Mo to go into the office for his usual chicken lol! Clearly not as happy to see us as I thought he’d be :-/ Riley has built an amazing relationship with Mo and although she is his main handler and he hasn’t had as much time with the rest of the team you could tell he was even comfortable with them and was pulling me here there and everywhere to say goodbye to everyone. Our big pup came out happy and healthy and even got a goodbye present of chicken and lots of toys. Can’t thank you enough Mo and will definitely be returning Riley to this kind and animal loving lady whenever required!
Not happy about the state our dog was after staying for two days. Only stayed for two nights, cost a lot more than the usual kennels that we take her to and she came out scared of the woman, faeces all over her and needed washed as soon as we got home, she has lay in bed ever since, not getting up even for food, looking thoroughly depressed, she has never been like this after kennels before. We also left her teddy so she had her usual scents and her comfort toy and that never made it down to the kennels it stayed in the same place we left it in reception. Will never return and would urge people to think twice before putting their pets in these kennels.
Thank you mo and your staff for looking after my dogs whilst we were away on holiday. I have no worries leaving them with mo and the staff there,the dogs get very spoilt and half the time not wanting to leave! This is why I've used these kennels for years. Wouldn't go any where else. Thank you mo and your team and keep up the good work.xx
I've left my dog, Mabel, here since she was a pup. She absolutely loves staying here and so excited to see Mo and the team. I can't thank them enough for giving me the comfort to leave my pup safely in their care which is frequent due to my job. Keep up the work ladies, Mabel loves you
Mo and the team are amazing, my dog has been coming to the kennels for just under two years now and loves it! She is so happy when we turn in the drive and I know she is well looked after! Thank you from me and Alba
Amazing service from Mo and the team as always!! We would not send our boy any where else!! He loves it 😍 thank yo so much again …
Left our furbabies with Mo & her team a few times now and, when we go back to collect them, they come out with their tails wagging and sometimes run to Mo instead of us! Mo goes out of her way to accommodate. We'll deserved 5* 👏🏼 …
Put my dog in for two weeks.....he saw our vet the week before he went in and weighed 57 kilos.....went to collect him and was horrified at his condition.....skin and bone obviously lost a lot of weight.....staff assured me he had been eating and drinking well.....took him to the vet and he lost 11 kilos in 2 weeks......when we got him home he went straight to his bowl and rattled it....we fed him and he ate ravenously.....his eating was bad as good went all over the place and he was foaming at the mouth. Vet carried out various checks and took bloods all normal. Vets conclusion, and mine, my dog had not been fed for 2 weeks. Contacted the kennels but received no reply. Now reporting them to various people for cruelty and will pursue them for kennels fees and £300 vet bill.
Very friendly staff and feel the dogs are well looked after.
Barking Mad is an excellent service! I have used Barking Mad for a number of years for my dogs and I've never been disappointed. Our dogs have been very well looked after and when the van pulls up to collect them there is great excitement from them about going on holiday! Elaine and John are genuinely caring towards the dogs and we leave them feeling confident that they will be well looked after and have a great time! Thoroughly recommend.
I have been a Barking Mad Host and service user for almost 20 years. Elaine and John are the third owners I have worked with and not only are they lovely people, they are by far the most enthusiastic, committed owners of the service. Not only do they ensure dogs have a fabulous holiday in appropriate surroundings, they have developed a very caring community for the Hosts. All your lovely dogs are looked after so well in their holiday homes.
After a bad experience with dog care some years ago, I thought I would never go on holiday again – until I found Barking Mad. My pooch has some quirky habits which require particular care and attention – John and Elaine came to the house to meet him, took note of everything down to the smallest detail and found the perfect host who catered for all his needs. I went to visit my family in New Zealand and had heaps of text messages, photos and video showing my dog out on lovely walks, having lots of fun and looking totally relaxed. I have already booked my next holiday and have every confidence that with Barking Mad, my dog will receive the same care, attention and love that he gets at home. I can’t rate this organisation highly enough, they are simply the best.
I cannot recommend barking mad fife enough. When your going on holiday you want your furry friend to be looked after the same way you look after them at home. You want peace of mind and reassurance, this is exactly what Elaine and John provide. No detail is missed out and they cover absolutely everything with you in a 2 hour initial meeting before they board your dog. Our dog has joint issues which can limit some activities, this issue was 100% taken on board while our dog was in Elaine and Johns care. I think it’s important to know any health issues your dog may have will be looked after correctly. You’ll receive updates with photos when you are away- chances are your furry friend is also having a 5 star luxury holiday of their own! The service is second to none and worth every penny. I cannot rate Elaine and John highly enough.
Since we first used John and Elaine at Barking Mad to look after our Gordon Setter "Floyd" for six weeks in 2017 we would not consider placing him anywhere else. He loves going with them and has the time of his life running with the pack in the hills and swimming in the sea. While he's away we get regular pictures and videos sent so we can see how happy he is. We would have no hesitation recommending them even for long stays. Peter and Maureen.
Our last dog Trey, a ‘silver surfer’ was always looked after so well and loved his holibags with Elaine and John. He was a withdrawn guide dog who had bad arthritic legs who just loved people and we worried how he would be staying with others. We needn’t have worried as he loved every second and was always cared for to our exact needs regarding his food and medication. When we lost him our two new girls who are rescue labradors now go on holiday with them too. As I am now disabled it was a huge worry for me that if I had to do anything at short notice, who would look after my dogs? I am so lucky that Elaine and John have always gone the extra mile for me when I have needed care for the girls at very short notice sometimes so that this now is not an issue. If anyone is considering dog care I would say let your dogs go on holiday with John and Elaine. You can have total peace of mind to enjoy whatever you are doing in the knowledge that your fur babies will be having a blast with the best care possible and being treated as part of a family with all their home comforts.
This is a wonderful service, run and owned by 2 devoted dog lovers. Elaine and John are friendly, caring and very professional people, they ensure that you and your dogs safety, comfort any special needs are their main priority. We were extremely happy with every aspect of the service they provided, which allowed my Wife and I to enjoy our break/holiday away, knowing that our 'Kizzi' was safe and happy! Many thanks to you both and we will be using your service anytime we ever wish to go away, when we are unable to take Kizzi.
Excellent service provided by wonderful and devoted staff. Nothing is too much for them as in our case when our pooch has to go to the vets, as she does once a month, it is no hassle whilst we are on holiday. Her dog sitter is excellent as well and we know that the dog is being well cared for. Keep up the good work and I would recommend them to anyone.
Isla y loved her wee holidays with Barking mad. So much that she is jumping up to get into John's car.John and Elaine are fully committed to what they do. It is obvious they both love it. Would definitely recommend Barking Mad. The host's are equally committed to ensuring your wee precious has fun and is cared for.🐩🐩
Once again I would like to thank John and Elaine for their exceptional service and dedication they gave us recently with Flora. Also cannot thank them enough for helping us out at such short notice for my father in laws funeral. Lynne,Alan,Emma and not forgetting Nugget are wonderful hosts. Flora came back bouncy, full of life and started eating without me having to remind her. Whenever Flora sees the bag and the car draws up to fetch her she cannot contain her excitement. Keep up your good work. Elaine and John as we do not know what we would do without your services.x
