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.

Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.
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!
Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!
Mikayla was a superb house/dog sitter for us for one full week. She was an excellent communicator, very quiet and tidy (respectful of the space) and best of all she quickly bonded with our big dog Mouse. She cheerfully took her for long walks and shared photo updates regularly. I highly recommend Mikayla.
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
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!

Good kennels, properly run. The dogs seem happy to go there, quite different to their visits to the vet. They are handed back in good condition and the staff try to be helpful with odd requests, such as an early drop off. Not knowing what goes on behind the door for security reasons, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Tastes fine so far. Good security and our impression is that the dogs are exercised in the compound satisfactorily.
George my cat was looked after for two weeks .. just want to thank east dean kennels for looking after him. He looked great when we picked him up. Lovely people there .. have used many times and can’t fault them. Thankyou so much.?
Due to conflicted circumstances we had to return a greyhound to theses kennels. The dog was to be housed until the Kent Greyhound Rescue could rehome the dog. Never have I been spoken too with such venom and disgusting tone in all my life. The owner/manager was EXTREMELY rude lady and completely uncaring of the situation . She was very belittling to my son, who was extremely upset and emotional. I wouldn't use this company. I have reported it to the Charity Commission who have will investigate further..
Our young cat was boarded for 4 nights, he seems well looked after and is happy.
Brilliant kennels. We have been using them for years and our dogs love going there. Very professional and very friendly. Nothing is too much trouble
One happy came home at the end of his weekend stay. Him being happy says it all.
I can’t thank Amy and the team enough. Absolute legends! We have a difficult dog and they know just how to handle her and love her, and I’ve never known our dog lose her mind so much with excitement every time we drive down their road! To note, we literally now drive 2 hours to East Dean as we’ve moved away, because they really are that incredible!
Just picked up our cats Harrison and Riley from East Dean cattery. They have been brilliant and our flight was cancelled from Crete until the next day when we would not be able to pick the cats up. We called them from Crete and it was no trouble. Harrison and Riley were well looked after
Was hoping to book my dog and 2 cats in for two separate stays this year but will not be using this kennels. On their website it stated that you can visit the kennels to have a look around without having to book. I have now been turned away on two occasions over 2 days. On my first visit I was told to come back the following day between the hours of 11am and 3pm as it’s a quieter time for staff and they would be able to show me around the kennels and cattery. I attended the following day to be turned away again because there was only one member of staff running the entire kennels/cattery and they are too busy. I was told to come back another time or to wait until they had finished their jobs, to be given ‘the quickest visit they’ve ever given’. It also states on their website they have a heated rubber matted play barn for older dogs to use, when I asked about this for my dog to use after mentioning she is a 12yo Labrador who is completely blind and going deaf, I was told they wouldn’t let her use it as it’s for very old sick dogs that need to be isolated from other dogs. Generally a lab’s lifespan is 10-12years, so maybe she has to be practically dying to use their heated barn. I personally think there should be more than one member of staff running a kennel, as both times I’ve visited there has only been one person responsible for all those cats and dogs.
I collected my Dog from East Dean first thing in the AM after a draining 12 hours of international night travel and was greeted by “we’ve just been talking about you” by Amy the owner - This was promptly followed up with what can only be described as a 5 minute reprimand about training my dog to walk on a slip collar, which was then followed by a complaint that my dog was “hard work” as he was "so clean" and only 2 people could take him out to the paddock and my dog would not allow their staff to place his head collar on (which incidentally my 3 year old son can do effortlessly). Noting that the website states that the kennels are equipped with a grass run and makes no mention of dogs needing to be slip collar trained before arrival. No consideration was given to the fact that I choose not to use a slip collar due to the fact my dog is a 9.5 stone drafting dog (i.e. bred to pull) nor my personal feelings against the use of slip collars due to thyroid damage issues in large breeds, larynx, trachea and other issues - and I prefer to use a head collar. And more to the point my dog walks off the lead when not walking with a head collar (which is my preferred collar choice) and is trained to heel on any directed side so a slip collar is totally unnecessary in our normal day to day lives. After listening to Amy's words of wisdom while jet lagged and a little shocked it became patently clear that the issue was likely a shortage of staff (Which I was advised of when dropping my dog off), compounded by a lack of staff training around gaining an animals trust which led to the assertion that my animal was "hard work" as he needed time outside of his kennel to relieve himself and wouldn't let a stranger put his head collar on. While I’m sure the kennels are perfectly adequate and well equipped the owner came across as rude, ignorant and arrogant and that is the reason for the negative review. Some etiquette training wouldn't go amiss. Update in response to East Dean for completeness; - My dog has not previously bitten anyone. - Although my dog did not want to leave me, his previous kennel visit was uneventful once settled. East Dean was merely a closer option this time around. - My dog is very well trained and walks on and off the lead without issue. - No demands were made be it unreasonable or otherwise. - I'm not "the general public" I'm a paying customer.
Our Golden Retriever Reggie attends Emily’s home every week and has just completed a full weeks boarding while we were on holiday. He loves his time these makes so many new play friends and is looked after fabulously. I would recommend Emily to anyone looking for a loving caring safe play or boarding setting
I have been using nanny MC pets for some time now and I cannot fault the service I get from Emily , she has gone above and beyond for me and my family of animals , Emily has been with me at the worst times too. The care she has given to me and mine is nothing but the very best . I trust her 100% with my Luna , from the first day meeting Emily I knew it was going to be a great match for myself but more importantly Luna , Luna adores Emily and looks forward to seeing Emily every time ,and I know when Luna goes to nanny MC pets she is safe ,happy and well looked after . Another daycare visit for Luna yesterday, 14th sep 2023 Luna is always madly excited to see Emily arrive to collect her , her vocals being heard around the whole area no doubt! Luna really loves spending time with Emily , I know I have peace of mind leaving her at nanny mc pets knowing I don't have to worry that she's okay , I know she's in the best hands , I would never leave her with anyone else Luna has established a great bond with Emily , when I tell Luna Emily is coming she's up and ready waiting looking and listening for her ... I definitely recommend nanny mc pets if you want total peace of mind , Luna gets home from home treatment and that's what she needs .. I have been with nanny mc pets for some time I will not go anywhere else ...
Fantastic Service! My dog Koda loves Nanny McPets, his nanny is Nanny Yasmin and every Thursday he bounds to the door so excited to see her for his walk. He has also been groomed at Nanny McPets Dog Grooming there linked business making him look even more handsome than he already is.
Brilliant Service! Obi our Labrador has used various services at Nanny McPets: Walkies (came to our house and took him out for an hour as agreed) Day care - We had to go out for a long day, Obi was collected at 7.30am and returned at 17.00, he had been taken out for two walks, played with his best friends Frank and Apollo and returned suitably tired ... he slept all evening!! Holiday Care: We have also used Nanny McPets to look after Obi whilst we went away on holiday for a week, we had daily updates of Obi’s walks and adventures and details of what he had been up to. Such a peace of mind for our most loved and treasured little boy! He absolutely loves it and always jumps straight in Nanny McPets car.
We have been using Nanny Mcpets since they started. Emily and all the staff are kind and caring and our dog is always happy to go there. It's a home from home for him.
We're new to Nanny McPets having recently moved into the area. We've found Emily and her team very professional, attentive and flexible which is exactly what you need when you leave your precious pet. My dog loves going to daycare, and I'm confident he is being well looked after, with lots of play and considered downtime, as well as a careful mix of dog personalities. He's showered with lots of love and comes home at the end of the day shattered. Win win! Thank you Nanny McPets
I would recommend Nanny McPets to anyone and everyone. They are an absolute Stella company who are the most kindest people I have ever met and I know when they take my dog Ozzy I have no worries whatsoever. They are very professional, on time. They are just overall a wonderful company. I am so happy that my brother found them because they have been a True Lifeline for Me.
Nanny McPets have been walking my Rottweiler for the past 10 days while we have been away. They have taken into account all the information I have given them with carful consideration of any medical issues. My dog has returned from his walks both happy and tired. Nanny McPets have been great with communication. I made my booking with them with plenty of time and keept in contact via emails with any updates or requests I had. Emily replied always in a timely manner (even of an evening when I never expected a reply straight away) I will definitely use their service again and would recommend to anyone needing any of the services they offer.
Emily and Tanya have been amazing with our new pup. He gets lots of attention and praise when they pop into puppy sit. Can’t say how pleased we are that we found Nanny McPets - they have put our minds at ease knowing our pup is being looked after by people who care. Both Emily and Tanya take the time to find out our needs for us and our pup and give us a daily update. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend then.
From the moment I first had contact with Emily I knew Nanny McPets would be perfect for our dog. Her love and care of dogs is obvious and her communication with us is brilliant. Our dog loves the time he spends with Emily and her team and he has learnt so much by being around other dogs and her loving environment. Thank you to Emily and team for making doggy day care stress free!
My CKC spaniel recently had three and a half weeks with Barking Mad while I was in Australia. I had no worries about leaving her as I knew from previous visits that the hosts she stayed with would treat her as well as I could wish for. I received regular updates and videos during her stay and could see that she was happy and content. Pauline did a great job of matching her to a couple who are willing to give her all the comforts of home, including allowing her to sleep on their bed! A cut above your normal dog boarding.
I would definitely recommend Pauline and the rest of the gang, we’ve used them numerous times and very pleased my two spinones are very happy to go in their holiday with them and so we can enjoy our holiday knowing they are being well looked after
Great company and highly recommend. Our dog Rodney has the best holiday, it was the first time we’d left him overnight since getting him as a puppy but the text updates and photos put our mind at ease, Rodney had a fab time and came home very relaxed. The owners and hosts clearly really care for animals and look after them as if they were their own! Rodney is already looking forward to his next holiday with Barking Mad and his postcard is now taking pride of place on our fridge :)
I’ve been using Barking Mad for a few years for Frank my Vizsla. He absolutely loves Pauline and his hosts. He’s always excited when they come to pick him up and he happily goes off on his holiday. I get regular updates and always feel confident he is happy, loved and well looked after. I highly recommend them.
We are really happy with the service from Pauline and her team at Barking Mad. She’s taken great care and attention in getting to know our two golden retrievers, noting every detail about their routine and their different characters. She chose excellent holiday hosts for them while we’ve been away; they’ve kept us constantly posted with photos and feedback. It’s so helpful that Pauline comes to pick the dogs up and drops them back home after their holiday, and she is always very timely and communicative. We feel our dogs are in safe hands with Pauline and her team, and it’s lovely to know they are in someone’s home being loved and looked after. We would highly recommend Barking Mad.
Our GSD loves staying with his host family. He is so happy and excited when Pauline arrives to take him on his holidays. Regular updates and photos are great, as we know he is being well looked after which means we can enjoy our holiday too. Would highly recommend Barking Mad Ashford .
We have been using Barking Mad's Ashford branch regularly and cannot praise Pauline Hills, the owner, and her team of host families enough! We have an old dog with various age-related health issues and we have total confidence that he will be looked after and cared for just as we do ourselves. It is a brilliant service and Pauline is such a warm and friendly person to deal with. We highly recommend her.
Pauline and her team respond quickly to emails and requests, and our dog is always excited to see them! He is well-looked after by the hosts and comes home happy every time. A caring and professional service.
Barking Mad are excellent - our little dog loves going to the hosts, they keep us updated throughout our holiday with photos and texts letting us know how she is doing and ensuring we don't worry about her while we are away. Communications always good, always on time, it's a seamless service every time. I thoroughly recommend this as the best way to give you peace of mind that your pet is in good hands while you are away.
Have used Barking Mad now for a few years Pauline and Alan have always been so helpful and accommodating especially as I am not the most organised of people. Never had a problem and more importantly my dog is always happy 😁 …
was recommended by a friend and would never have anyone else have my dog she is a very nervous dog didnt like anyone new Suzie Usher took the time go get go know her hour at a time walking her with me then slowly she went to her then few hours at hers then over night its took months but suzie was patient and kept putting the work in now luna been to her for 4 nights and soon going for 10 nights she goes a few times a months as she loves spending time with her and playing with the other dogs she gets excited to go to her now highly recommend
It has taken us 3 years to feel comfortable with leaving Dexter with someone outside of the family. Having decided we wanted a holiday abroad this year, we took the plunge with Julie and Malcolm and we’re so, so glad we did. After two separate overnight stays before we went away, we knew that Dexter would be in very capable hands and would be very happy. It is clear that Julie and Malcolm love dogs and Dexter was made to feel like one of their own. While we were on holiday, Julie sent us regular texts, photos, videos and reports, which was fantastic as it gave us such peace of mind. We could also see how much Dexter was enjoying his holiday - playing with his new friends, eating delicious treats, having lots of cuddles and relaxing on the garden day bed! We will always use Julie and Malcolm to board Dexter in future, for as long as they will have him, because we can see how much love and care is lavished on him. In return, he also loves Julie, Malcolm and the dogs and, if they are in the park at the same time as us now, he will run from the other side of the field to see them! All in all, we don’t think we could find anywhere better to board Dexter. It is such a relief to know he has somewhere to stay where he is so well looked after and where he is so happy. Thank you to Julie, Malcolm and all the dogs for welcoming Dexter into your home and making him one of the family when he comes to stay!
My dog Oli has been home boarded a few times a year for the last ten years. I have to say Julie had been exceptional in her care for him. We received many photos and reports of his holidays for the two weeks we were away. She really is a very caring and loving person and went the extra mile looking after him. I really would not leave him with any one else just wish she had been doing this a few years ago as we have had some bad experiences in the past . He has come home clean and exhausted from all his lovely walks and playtime with Julie’s dogs can’t thank her enough. I know from now on I won’t worry about him while I’m on holiday he will be having a great time
I had never put Rocco into boarding before and I was quite apprehensive about how he would be. I met Julie in her home with Malcolm and their own dogs, a meet and greet, Julie did it with great care and attention to not overwhelm Rocco. It was agreed then on Rocco's reaction to do a two night trial to see how this would go. This was free of charge. Julie updated me with an emailed report, what's app messages and pictures, fantastic. Rocco had great fun and it was set for him to stay for 12 nights. Would I recommend Julie, 100%, would I use her services again, 100% She sent lovely videos and pictures throughout his stay. He truly had a fab holiday himself. So well looked after and cared for I don't think he wanted to leave.
I’m so happy that my friend recommended Parsley and Pals to us! Julie and Malcolm took such good care of our dog Albie and I could tell they genuinely loved him. On my first visit, it was evident that Julie has put so much hard work, love and care into Parsley and Pals, and she absolutely adores her dogs as does Malcolm. I didn’t hesitate in booking Albie in with them for a holiday and I felt at ease whilst I was away as I knew he was treated like a king. Julie sends regular updates which is lovely. I can’t recommend Parsley and Pals enough. I feel like myself and Albie struck gold finding them and we have more visits booked in. Thank you so much 😊
I was so pleased to have found Julie with her Parsley and Pals boarding! We have a 5 year old cocker spaniel Sam, who boarded this week, and he had an amazing time!! Sam was treated liked royalty with healthy snacks, lots of playing, cuddles and space if he needed it. It was really reassuring to know Sam was in safe hands while we had a lovely holiday, and so did he! Julie kept me up to date with his activities and sent photos and videos, which were lovely to see. We are definately booking again next year! 100% recommend this service for your precious doggies. I have one happy, tired boy.
I cannot recommend Parsley and Pals more highly. Julie is truly committed to the dogs in her care giving them a home from home experience. My dog, Winston, had a wonderful time and has a group of new friends in the resident dogs. Julie is meticulous about her daily reports and kept me updated with pictures of Winstons adventures which was very reassuring. I will certainly be booking Winston in for visits and holidays in the future.
Wow! What a great experience we, and our two dogs had with their stay. Photos sent through and a great and thorough report of each day. Walks and lots of cuddles were had. Resident dogs all lovely and our dogs were very happy and relaxed there. Definitely would recommend and will be using again. Thank you Julie (and Malcolm)
Our dog Spud has gone to stay with Julie a few times and we couldn't be happier! Our baby boy has the best time and is very well looked after. It is clear how much they care the their own dogs as well as guests! It's such a piece of mind knowing he is comfortable, safe and happy. Spud will be returning in the future for sure!
Liberty had a great time at parsley and pals, I felt 100% at ease leaving her with this fabulous dog boarding organisation, the dogs are definitely in charge! Julie sent regular photos of Liberty and she looked like she had a nice time, lots of room, good garden, spoiled rotten! Will definitely using again🐶 …
We are so fortunate to have discovered Julie and Malcolm, such lovely genuine people who literally care for our dog Stanley as if he is their own dog. Stanley is so comfortable in their company and he has also made some new dog pals with the resident dogs. Highly knowledgeable and professional in how they look after Stanley and it is great for us knowing we can leave Stanley in their care fully confident that he will have a great time. We particularly love the updates ( emails and videos ) that Julie sends which gives us a great insight into what Stanley is doing and he has grown in confidence whilst with Julie and Malcolm. We would highly recommend Julie and Malcolm.
Annette was fantastic with our cat Ozai, whilst we were away on holiday. She was very kind and caring and he absolutely loved her coming in to check on him (and the treats 😻). Thank you so much for looking after him! Would absolutely recommend her services. She obviously loves animals, you can really tell. 😊 …
Annette has been regularly caring for Dustee since he was 9 months old, he is now 7. He is a furry black cat who has attitude & is not very friendly, but he adores Annette, as he knows she gives him a lot of fuss & attention. We are lucky to have Annette to care for Dustee while we are away on our many short breaks. She always makes sure we don't come home to any accidents & will kindly put the bin out if we need her to.
I can’t recommend Paws-4-fun more highly! Annette’s service is outstanding. We have used her services several times to look after our cats when we’ve been away on holiday. She keeps us informed of how the cats have been and has also administered first aid when needed. When we come home from holiday she leaves a little report for each day too. More recently, one of our cats had its leg amputated and she popped in during the day to keep an eye on him. Professional, caring and trustworthy. Thank you Annette.
Annette has been looking after our two boys since 2019 and I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else! I know Annette genuinely cares about our cats and thats so important. We love the little school report we get post holiday and the daily updates - as I struggle to relax without knowing the boys are in, safe and sound, each evening. It’s not just a pet sitting service, Annette also makes sure the house is secure and flags any issues, she goes above and beyond for her customers. Don’t look anywhere else - Paws 4 Fun is the number 1 choice!
Annette is very professional and devoted to the animals in her care. Best cat carer k have ever had. Would definitely recommend.
We've been using Annette for a little over a year now and can not recommend her enough. She is so calm and welcoming, which is exactly what our cat needed - being so shy and cautious. Very trustworthy and reliable, and we certainly wouldn't use anyone else now 😊. …
Annette was so accommodating, reassuring and professional! We used her twice before we had to move, and she went above and beyond to ensure our cat was safe and happy. Would highly recommend Annette!!
Can not recommended Annette highly enough! We have been using her services since 2017 and she can always be relied upon, even when called at the last minute (like when I went into labour!) She came out to meet us and put us at ease before our first time using her services and every time we go away, she leaves us detailed notes about how the cats have been and what she has done. Annette will message to reassure us that everything is well and is happy for us to contact her too. There have been a few occasions when something hasn't been quite right at the house (e.g. when our key safe looked like it had been tampered with) and she quickly contacted me and let us know the issue and what she is going to do about it. When one of our cats was not well, she was more than happy to administer medicines and take him to the vet if required. Annette goes above and beyond every time! She has been brought more 'presents' than we ever get and yet we never see ANY evidence when we get home, even after being brought a full size wood pigeon! We are very grateful for all she does for us!
What a wonderful service. Going to work knowing my dog was having super fun with Annette made me very happy. Leaving my dog to a very caring person and trustworthy. Would highly recommend the service.Your animals are well loved by Annette. Thank you.
Bruce & Sid love their walkies with Annette. They are always pleased to see her and trot off happy boys. Flexible with dates & times we couldn’t ask for more. Thank you
Kelly is fantastic and I have peace of mind that my Dog Ollie is well cared for.
They are really lovely! Our pets have been looked after beautifully here. Wouldn’t go anywhere else despite it being quite a drive away for us.
I highly recommend Beaux Aires boarding kennels to everyone who’s looking for somewhere for their pet to go to while in holiday. Our Cockapoo dog Rover Martin loved it there! He was so happy and well treated which put my mind at ease while on holiday. From the moment I made the call to the moment we step foot in there everyone was so friendly and extremely helpful! They got a good team going there... I would personally like to thank Molly, Belinda, Craig & his mother who runs the place. They’re all so really genuinely caring and nice people. We would definitely be using Beaux Aires boarding kennels again in the future. Really appreciate everything. Rover says “whoof whoof” thank you for having me 😊🐾
Left our 5 month old puppy for a night as a try out and she had such a brilliant time. Beaux Aires really looked after her like she was their own. Super happy and wouldn't go anywhere else. Update she is nearly two and adores it here. Their care is wonderful.
To put it simply. This was the first time we ever needed to board our dogs so I was nervous. I have never left my girls for too long and if we ever needed someone to take care of them there were friends and family at the ready. We got to pop down for a visit with our girls to view the space. At first our girls were nervous from hearing other dogs in the area but then they saw the field and they were happy as Larry. They investigated the kennel space and were very curious all good signs. When it came to dropping them off it was swift and painless. I on one hand was offended that my dogs didn't kick up a stink about being taken away from us. But at the same time because everything was done calmly the girls knew from our normal behaviour that there was nothing to worry about. When it came to collection. Well they were happy to see us but not at all desperate to go home. I actually would have liked them to act like they missed me more. Overall it was a very professional and pleasant experience in which I will confidently be able to leave our girls here again.
Such a great Kennel, all the staff love the dogs and they are do friendly. We have an XL Bully (Mas) and a Pug (Sid) they are always excited to go there.
Great staff my dogs loved it, would highly recommend
Our golden retriever has been going here for 8 years, his predecessor before him. Digby loves this place as do we - the staff are amazing and he can’t get in quickly enough, always in excellent shape when we collect him. Thank you to the whole team, you do a wonderful job.
First time in kennels for our two hounds, one a bit nervy the other young and boisterous and was quite apprehensive about their week’s stay. Shouldn’t have worried for a second! The staff have seen everything and are immensely capable and kind to their canine guests. There’s a HUGE field where the dogs get to roam five times a day - they are not all let loose together so don’t worry about reactivity. We took in our own dog food to avoid upset tummies but you MUST weigh and bag up each meal you supply (dry food). If you despair about going away and have trouble or anxiety about your dog being looked after please consider Beaux Aires - I was the WORST worrier but now I’m not!
Our dogs always enjoy their stay.
The staff here are absolutely brilliant they love and look after your pet as if it were their own. They have lovely big fields for dogs to exercise and run in. I kept in touch through out my holiday by Mandy the owner My dog was happy there. So much so that he was reluctant to get into the car when we collected him. This place is wonderful I would highly recommend it.
I honestly recommend The Dog Lodge as excellent. After having a bad experience with another local kennels we were a bit dubious about leaving our 2 dogs anywhere again. We went to have a look around and were very impressed with what we saw and the staff are really lovely. Mila and Nelly went in on Friday and we picked them up Sunday, they were happy dogs and their coats looked and smelt amazing. Very happy and will certainly use the kennels again.
Leo our cocker spaniel has stayed at the dog lodge a few times since being open and he loved it! There are big pens for the pups to have big runs and the staff are super friendly and make everything very easy. The space is clean and the kennels are cool and spacious. Like many dog owners, our fur baby means the world to us and seeing him in a safe, secure and loving environment when you are away really gives you a peace of mind. Thank you dog lodge for being so reliable and loving Leo as much as we do! 💕
Didn't turn me away when I explained that one of my dogs (husky x gsd) has issues with anxiety and fear of new people. Were accommodating and understanding of her issues. The place has a very lovely setting and everything your dog needs. Even though i was super anxious about leaving my dogs I felt reassured and confident in the staff. Both my dogs were looked after well and I wouldn't hesitate to use again. Thank you.
First time we have ever put our dogs into kennels and I couldn’t be happier about our choice with The Dog Lodge! Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. The facilities are great with huge open areas for dog walking, huge kennels with privacy rooms ant the back of them for the dog to hide if they wish and our dogs were very happy when we saw them out on their walk! Easy to book with, you just know they are in safe hands, and amazingly competitive prices for them to tailor your dogs care x thank you so much xx
Just picked my two dogs up from a trial weekend at the Dog Lodge and their faces said it all when I saw them in the field....clearly very relaxed and happy! Will 100% use again,highly recommended! Jo is lovely too and really good with animals! Thank you!
Dexter is always happy and is looked after well. Fully recommend thank you.
Great place. Excellent facilities. My GSD was happy being there. Would definitely use them again..
Very satisfied with the care Sophie received lovely and clean and very friendly nothing was to much trouble
Dogs are looked after well and seem happy. Reccomended
Lovely clean place, helpful staff, dog's really looked after
We used foxgloves dog boarding for our two pooches Peggy and Doris. Amelia was great right from the first contact, very responsive, informative and approachable. She arranged a visit prior to there stay too make sure we were happy with everything and for her to meet the dogs. The dogs instantly felt at home and Amelia would update us on a daily basis with photos etc. We would definitely recommend foxgloves and have our next stays booked already. Thanks 🙏🏻
I can’t recommend Foxgloves enough. My pup pulls like a train to get there and looks genuinely disappointed when he has to leave. It’s testament to just how amazing Amelia is. I know she loves my puppy just as much as I do. And it shows. It’s the greatest compliment I can give her that my pup doesn’t want to come home. Professional. Caring. Loving. Knowledgable. Couldn’t ask for more.
We highly recommend Foxgloves, Amelia is great with Baxter he loves going there & hanging out with buddies. She bakes them all biscuits, shows plenty of love but also control too. Amelia is flexible with times & dates which is ideal for us & we can’t speak highly enough of her.
Our pup absolutely LOVES his days (and nights) at Foxgloves. It’s like a second home. He can’t wait to get there and comes home exhausted after days filled with doggy playing, puzzles and cuddles. Can’t recommend more highly.
I am so happy to have found Amelia - professional yet has built such a strong bond with our very particular pup, he loves going there, I feel guilty when he comes home as I realise how much more interaction he gets then when he is home !
