Dog Sitters in Wythall

Dante and Luna have loved their walks with We Love Pets Solihull. Due to my needs the team have had to be really flexible and communication has had to be outstanding to support that. Definitely would not have got through the last few months without them. Knowing that what ever the weather the dogs get out is real peace of mind. Thank you to the whole team.

Matt and his team are simply the best. Maria loves my Golden Retriever, Barney, and likewise he her. Becky has also been great too. Introducing Barney to other dogs on his walks and getting him socialised. The whole team are always helpful and flexible. I can’t recommend them enough.

Always reliable and trustworthy, my dogs really enjoyed their morning walks. Would definitely recommend and will use again while we are away. Thank you

Absolutely fantastic! Claire, Matt and the team are brilliant - beyond helpful, really caring towards the animals and thoroughly lovely people. My dog has always been walked by We Love Pets Solihull and the service has been consistently great for 4 years 👍🏼👍🏼 …

These guys are amazing!! Had them care for our boys for 2 years, only changed because we moved out of the area. Like an extension of our family. Super helpful and knowledgeable. Really really lovely people. The dogs adored them all, couldn’t recommend a better choice of dog walkers in Solihull. Super understanding and accommodating, we really enjoyed seeing them every day.

Claire and Matt have been looking after my 9 year old retriever for the last 4 years, both dog walking and boarding. I couldn’t be happier with the service they provide. When Tito stays with them, he is treated like one of the family. I leave him with them knowing that he is safe and happy and they provide me with updates and photographs. I would absolutely recommend Claire and Matt. They are brilliant.

Always happy to leave my elderly cat in Matt and Claire’s hands Always prompt response to enquiries and can guarantee someone will visit as arranged Updates provided and even though Maddie is not the most sociable of cats she is always quite content when I return so I know she’s been in safe hands

A big thank you to Kate & Brad for looking after Frank for me whilst I was away on holiday. He was absolutely fine, it was great to get regular updates and photos when I was away, he looked very chilled and relaxed. Couldn't be happier knowing that Frank is secure and well looked after. Thank you again and see you next time

These guys have been absolutely great looking after my pets. I have animals with medical issues that need pills and injections and chickens as well as ‘normal’ pets and all are happy and healthy while I’m away.

Fantastic team who are 100% reliable, friendly and experienced! I have been using We Love Pets for 5 years now and would wholeheartedly recommend them!

My dog is a cocker spaniel and is nearly 9 years old , we have never left her with anyone due to her being very nervous with strangers and other animals. However we had a family wedding and she needed a 2 day stay at the kennels. I was very anxious about leaving her , but I can say I would highly recommend Hylton Hound as she was absolutely fine and settled, they understood her anxiety to strangers other dogs and worked with her until she felt comfortable to build a bond. She had a lovely stay, she even went out on to the fields and let the staff cuddle and stroke her. I was very pleased with the love and care she received, whilst she was there .

Thank you so much my dog is Simba he was with Hilton Hound hotel these 11 days and let me tell you my dog is happy well full of life. They will take care of your dog giving all the love and care. Today I went to collect my dog in the beginning all he wanted was to stay there. I’m now so happy to be with my dog I notice that they cut his nails.I am a new dog owner so many things I am just learning each and every day. I would like to thank all the staff that took care of simba received simba with short notice I really appreaciate everything that you have done for Simba. May God bless you all and you found in us new customers forever. Thank you thank you so much. Regards, Liliana Lopes

Our dog comes here for Doggy Daycare. We had had a couple of really awful experiences on Rover.com before here 😟 Jasper loves coming here, and is always super tired when he gets home! …

Absolutely nothing to complain about my dog who I'd never left before stayed here for a week in June 2024 and I was so scared and nervous! But hylton hounds made it so easy. Pictures everyday and videos made me be able to enjoy my holiday knowing my boy was happy and safe will definitely be using these kennels again! My boy had a fantastic time here and the staff are so helpful and great with dogs! Charlie especially made me feel at ease. Hayley jeffries owner of stanley jeffries. Keep up the good work all of you. Your all amazing be proud of the work you do its great!

"Thank you for taking such great care of Bueno! This was the second time we dropped him off, and once again, he was well looked after by your fantastic, caring team. It’s so reassuring to know that when I'm on holiday, Bueno is in such capable and loving hands. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and go above and beyond to make sure he's comfortable. He's been coming here once a year since he was one, and it’s so heartwarming that your team remembers him every time. We truly appreciate all that you do—see you again soon!" Amaan & nazia

This morning I picked my dog winnie up from a 2 week stay I knew while she was there she wouldn't be her normal self for a few day or eat normal so I took her tins of sardines I knew she would eat them and I was write the young man I spoke to said 1st day or so she wouldn't eat as soon as the sardines came she wolfed them down the staff can't make your dog eat again 1st few days was quite but with lots of fuss she came out of her shell and was happy , yes when she came out she smelt a bit but that is expected nothing a quick shower didn't solve thankyou guys for looking after her we picked up a happy dog will definitely be back.

We have used hylton hounds for the past six years with no problems, till this year!! We left them for 16 days, we always take our own food so as not to disrupt the dogs digestives system swapping and changing. When we picked them up they had both lost weight a good 3kg each, their harnesses were hanging on them. Both dogs were ravenously hungry. We had a quick turnaround to another holiday (they were only home for 4 days) when we took them back they didn't want to go in. When I picked them up after 10 days my male has lost more weight, you can feel his back bone and ribs!! He is eating like he is starving, he has an ear infection and is subdued which isn't like him! We were also informed by text that we were being charged an extra £50 because he had destroyed 2 raised beds!! Surely they are insured against this sort of thing!! Bearing in mind what money we have saved them by using our own food! In 3 weeks we have paid them nearly £1200!! Well Hylton that is the last money you will be getting from us!! I wouldn't recommend you to anyone!! My dogs clearly haven't had the care they should have had!

Very friendly and caring staff - obviously devoted to the dogs. We’ve had our lab there since a puppy. I love the diary notes each visit and Instagram photos / videos of your dog.

Really disappointed with hylton, we have been using hylton for years and our pooch loved it there, last time we took her she was visibly shaking and actively trying to leave whereas normally she would be very excited to go there. We were also informed of a very serious incident involving our pooch from a previous stay but it was told to us in a very informal, jovial way, but hadn't been alerted about it. Before writing this we emailed hylton to try to deal with our concerns directly but wasn't even given the courtesy of a response. We are so upset about how poor the service was as we have used them so often.

Great kennels, very helpfull service from lovely happy staff. The girls Tilly and her mom Bramble came back home happy after their first holiday away from home, they had been well looked after. Would certainly recommend these kennels, and would use again.

Katie at Solihull Paws has been absolutely fantastic in walking my golden retriever, Ronnie, for the past six months. Her dedication and care are evident in how much Ronnie enjoys his walks with her. Katie's professionalism and genuine affection for animals make her a standout. Recently, during a last-minute emergency, Katie stepped in to look after Ronnie for two days. Her promptness and willingness to help in a time of need were incredibly reassuring. I wholeheartedly recommend Katie at Solihull Paws for her exceptional service and compassionate approach.

I have been using Solihull Paws for about 7 months. During this time I have been so impressed with the help they have given me and my golden retriever Ozzy. Katie will always work her magic with fitting us in and Ozzy goes bananas when Fern collects him. Dogs don't lie and Ozzy is always pleased to see her and confident in going with her, she has a clear love of dogs which is highly reciprocated! Anyone who is anxious about letting a stranger take their beloved pup out (as I was) Fern is a reassuring, caring and trustworthy dog walker and would highly recommend her.

I used solihull paws from sept 2023 until April 2024. Only required 8 lead walks per month. In that short time they failed to show up for my dogs on 7 occasions, with no real apology or explanation. A lot of my pre arranged walks were cancelled last min, due to 'emergencies'. Coincidentally these excuses mainly fell on weekends. 3 or 4 times i came home to toilet accidents in my home and sad dogs. My neighbour confirmed, on these occasions, 'the walker' didn't stay more than 10mins. I also came home on 2 occasions to my main back door being left wide open!!!!!! Katie the owner of solihull paws, was my only point of contact. For some reason you don't have direct contact with the actual person walking your dog? Problem here was, Katie was extremely poor at communication. She rarely responded to my messages. I was rarely given updates on my boys wellbeing. Other than Fern, my boys initial dog walker, i had no idea who was walking my dogs. I couldn't keep up with her staff turn around. Last straw for me, was Katie committing, 3 months in advance, to dogsitting while i was on holiday, then basically ignoring me and my messages leading up to my hol. This left me in stressful limbo, a week before my flight. Then last min Katie said 'I'll ring my friend in portsmouth, she'll do it" She was then ringing me straight back to confirm this' (a stranger stopping in my home, who's never met my boys before???!!!) Katie didn't ring me back as promised. Luckily a family member came to my rescue last min. Needless to say, about 1 month into using solihull paws, i was actively seeking/on waiting lists for more reliable, trust worthy, dog walkers. Other than the times Fern walked them (thank you) in the 9yrs of their existance, I'd never known them so sad/stressed when I've come home from work, As lovely as Katie seemed initially, I won't be recommending solihull paws to anyone and I'm skeptical of these others reviews to be honest

Katie has been walking my husky Akira for over a year now and has also taken on Ghost my husky puppy, I know they are always well looked after by Katie, they get so excited to go out with her and she's always someone I can trust with my dogs

Amazing service from Katie. Hugo always gets the best attention and walks. I would 100% recommend katie at solihull paws 🐾 and her team. …

Katie has been looking after our border collie for over 3 years now. She began by doing puppy visits as soon as we got him, she even cleared up the ‘puppy mess’ when she visited while we were at work! He is a nervous boy and is not good around adults but he has always adored Katie! She is our boys favourite person, loves her to bits and always has a fabulous time when he goes out with her. Would recommend Solihull Paws to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.

Katie is my go to when my kitties need a home visit. They’re always spoilt rotten and I get some lovely updates 🐾 😻 …

Katie has walked our dog since he was a puppy. He loves going out with her and we've always felt he is safe, well looked after and paired well with other dogs. Bonus is that he always comes home to sleep for hours. We've also used Katie for dog sitting and again have always been as happy as the dog!

From the moment I first contacted Katie, I felt confident that my boxer dog would be in the very best of hands. And I was not wrong! I cannot thank Katie enough for the love and care she has shown towards Rodney. She treats him like one of her own and it's evident as he's so happy and content every time he comes back from his walks. It's such a relief to know that I can trust Katie with his well-being, and through her regular updates, I am so grateful for the peace of mind that she provides. We've had dog walkers before and it's difficult to find someone that understands boxer dogs, but Katie knows exactly how to handle their crazy, stubborn but loving ways. Overall, I cannot recommend this dog walking and dog sitting services enough and I feel incredibly lucky to have found Katie to look after my boy, and I am confident that anyone who entrusts their dog's care to her will feel the same way.

Been using Katie and Solihull paws for a while to walk my French bulldog, can’t fault the service, he loves his walks with them, highly recommend them

Our Dog goes absolutely nuts when he knows he's visiting Dotties! Always worn out when playing with the other guests, well looked after, and we have no concerns at all..just returned from a two week holiday and Jo sent pictures and videos to ease any anxiety...would 100% recommend to any dog owner. To be honest, he misses what is now his second home!!!

Dottie's is wonderful. My dog Bella has been going to them since she was a puppy and absolutely loves going. She runs up to Christine's front door and doesn't even look back. She stays with Christine when I go on holidays and I know she is safe and having the best time. Christine has helped turning my little puppy into a wonderful young dog. Who is social and friendly. Loving everyone. The best thing I ever did was going to Dottie's for day care and holiday cover. Thank you so much.

I wouldn’t use anyone else but Dottie’s now . My dog pulls me to get in to see her 🥰Dottie's cares individually for every dogs needs My dog was nervous when first went to Dottie’s Jo has built her confidence up with the other dogs in her care . She’s patient and kind and considering with amazing knowledge . 5 stars from us xx

Our young Cocker Spaniel has been going to Dotties since she was a puppy and just loves Dotties Daycare! It's great to know that our dog is going to stay with antoher family who love her just as much as we do, so there's never any worries about her being happy and well looked after! We use Dotties daycare once a week regularly, and also for longer periods for holidays. The longest was 3 weeks and our dog looked like she had a good a holiday as we did! Jo and her family (and their Dog Dottie) are great at caring for the dogs and making them feel at home. Our dog even has a favorite chair at Dotties Place! They offer great flexibility and I'm not sure we'd be able to have a dog without the support of Dotties! Thankyou Jo! x

My dog has been coming to Dottie’s for almost a year, since he was only a few months old - and I wouldn’t take him anywhere else! He’s grown up with Dottie and Jo and I consider it his second home he’s here so often🐶🐶 Couldn’t recommend enough, so accommodating and flexible! Will never leave🥰 x

I cannot recommend more highly . My dogs are treated as one of the family . They love going . So I know when we’re away enjoying ourselves our dogs are also on their holibobs being treated like a king & queen !!! It’s a home from home quality care . One of my dogs has specific medical needs & they are catered for amazingly . My dogs go and return with happy saggy tails !!!!

What a fantastic caring place to take your precious Dog.real family environment home from home and Jo is so lovely and accommodating. Our Dog Luna Star loves going there she gets so excited 😊. Definitely would recommend. …

Highly recommended for boarding and daycare. Our furry family's home from home. You know when your baby's are happy somewhere and my boy gets so excited when he goes to Dottie's 😍 …

A really lovely safe place to leave your pooch. Jo is amazing and obviously really cares about the dogs in her care.

Great home environment for my dogs, they are treated as one of the family. I have the peace of mind they are happy when I need to leave them.

Pumpkin and Daisy loved there time spent at Juliannas. They both came home happy kitty cats. It was like home from home. I would definitely recommend and this is where I would be so happy to have them stay again. A big thank you to the Staff for looking after my fur babies so well.

My cat Delilah, has stayed twice this summer now. It was her first time using Juliana’s and from the start I was nervous to leave her as she’s recently been surrendered and nervous around new people. All my worries have been put to rest however as she came back happy and relaxed as she was when she we left her. The staff were all lovely to me and my little Delilah, I loved seeing her photos uploaded as she looked happy and very excited for some fuss and tasty treats! 😋😋

Julianna's, you have found lifelong customers! Last time we were on holiday, we used another popular local kennels but were unimpressed- the dogs came back smelling and looking dirty, the blankets and bed we had sent them with were covered in urine- we just did not leave with a good feeling. We have felt the exact opposite way with Julianna's. The photo updates on Facebook are an absolute joy and so reassuring. The genuine care the staff show towards all the animals boarding is heartwarming. They really seem to have brought out the best in our usually quiet, anxious smallest chihuahua! Thank you all so much- we will never use anywhere else ever again!

My little cat went to stay at Julianna's regularly for many years until she passed away in September. She was always very well looked after. Cats are never impressed when they know you are going away but Kitty knew Amy and Amy as well as they knew her. I felt that when she went to Julianna's she settled into the routine very well. It was particularly nice for Kitty that she had (secure) access to an outside space. Julianna's, you are brilliant, thank you x

We've been using Juliannas for over 5 years and wouldn't put our Lab with anyone else. Everytime we drop him off he gets so excited and sprints straight into the kennels. For me, that speaks volumes. On one occasion, a few days before we went on holiday, our labrador had to have surgery for swallowing a pebble. Juliannas were great, took him wearing the cone of shame, and looked after him until our return. Amy and all the staff truly love the animals in their care.

A home from home and a brilliant "doggie hotel" for everyone's puppers. First time wed ever left our dogs for the night let alone a week and they couldn't have been happier. Socail media channels provide updates during their stay with photos and videos so you can be reassured its not a trick pic, your dogs are really happy. Accommodation is brilliant providing a home from home service with sofas and beds, they have a run of the yard, garden and walks, are well cared for emotionally and fed well too (pretty sure ours were over fed haha). One of our dogs has Allergies and intolerances which are very noticeable if he gets hold of something he shouldnt and he came back in perfect order. The staff are great and I couldn't thank them enough for the time and care they've put into our dogs. I expected severe separation anxiety when we came home but no. I'm pretty sure our one boy was depressed that he went from having friends to just his sibling at home haha. Lovely place and couldn't recommend it enough!!

Molly has been going every Tuesday to doggy day care so she can socialize and boards when we are away for the last 2 years , the girls who run this are fantastic with the care they give the animals,they go above and beyond . They give each dog a photo shoot when there is a special event this was her Christmas one . She loves going so much in fact the last time she spent a week there we came to pick her up , she saw my husband and ran back and in as she didn’t want to leave 🤣

my rescue dog was a nervous reck and was terrified of socialising with other dogs other then her sister, but from coming to day care and staying over night and being with the amazing staff she is able to socialise with all dogs and is a completely different dog ! i’m so amazed with the staff and how well they have done with her !

Our Maltese Terriers absolutely love their doggy holidays at Juliannas. The family and I love the picture updates while we're away, and its comforting to know that our little pooches are extremely well looked after. They also go to Juliannas to be groomed and they get so excited when we arrive. I would highly recommend Juliannas, the kennels are like home from home, the staff are amazing and its in such a beautiful area.

Juliannas is our lifeline! They handle our exuberant cocker so well and always greet him like a friend despite his madness! Dogs let you know if they are happy in a place, and ours always runs in excitedly with his tail wagging with no looking back for me! We have no hesitation in recommending this caring and fabulous place.

We were very lucky to get a place for Luca at Solihull Dog Lovers daycare. He was initially a little nervous around other dogs and Eleanor has worked her magic on helping him with his confidence. The whole family are in a whats app group with Eleanor and seeing the videos and photos of what Luca gets up to throughout the day is something we all look forward to! He absolutely loves going to hers and refuses to leave when its collection time! Its a great peace of mind knowing he is in good hands and I would highly recommend Eleanor.

We were lucky enough to get a place for our dog with Eleanor and she loves it and can’t wait to go there each time to see her friends! Eleanor really loves the dogs and it shows with her level of care, not only making sure they get the exercise and attention they need but also using training techniques to bring on skills too-she is always happy to offer tips if you ask. She adapts to your dogs routine on overnight stays and we thoroughly recommend her- it’s like home from home and gives such peace of mind!

Eleanor was recommended to us by a friend who said that the only person she would trust with her dog and recommend was Eleanor. We felt exactly the same as soon as we met Eleanor. She was so welcoming and helpful, giving us lots of advice for our nervous Boo Boo the Cockapoo. Eleanor worked with us to settle Boo in over a period of time, so that when the time came to leave him for 2 weeks he would feel comfortable and happy (and so would we!) I knew that Boo was going to be as safe and loved as he would be at home with us. We got regular photos and videos which was brilliant. I can honestly say that I will not leave Boo with anyone but Eleanor in the future.

Eleanor looked after our 18 month old staffy - greyhound cross while we were on holiday and was fantastic start to finish! She provided us regular updates, pictures and videos and gave us good pointers when we picked him up as well. She made sure we were completely happy with the process and accommodated all of his needs expertly. We will definitely be using Eleanor's services again, thank you so much!

Eleanor has been amazing with our 5 month old spaniel puppy. We know he is fabulously cared for when he goes for day care. The training we have had with Eleanor has been extremely helpful and tailored to our needs although I wish we had know about her before we got our pup! Eleanor gave us the confidence and support to rectify some of the training areas we were struggling with. I would definitely recommend Eleanor for both training and doggy day care.

Little Luna was so happy and relaxed after a long weekend with Eleanor. Our four month old working cocker spaniel puppy is full of energy and can be a real handful but Eleanor gave her a weekend full of exciting walks, varied play and lots of evening cuddles. She even got her comfortable with car travel, which is something we've been struggling with. We couldn't be happier with the service we received, including plenty of videos and really clear information about how Luna had been. Highly recommend.

Eleanor has been so patient and pro active with our nervous dog. We really appreciate all of her support in trying to overcome this and mix with other dogs . She knows all the dogs personalities really well and your dog will be safe and loved.

Eleanor is incredible with our Hungarian Vizsla puppy Mia. Mia absolutely loves going there, and Eleanor couldn’t do more to care about the dogs she has. She is very reliable, helpful and knowledgeable. We love the video and photo updates we get throughout the day. It’s great to know that Mia is in such capable hands while we are at work. Would highly recommend Eleanor and Solihull Dog Lover services.

Eleanor takes care of the dogs like they are her own. Our little girl has the best time and comes back shattered after a busy day. She has a unique opportunity to socialise and play with other dogs. She has such an adventure and every morning when realises she is going to 'Aunty Eleanor's' she dances around with excitement and almost drags us over to get to the house. Eleanor kindly sends amazing pictures and videos to keep owners updated on their pups adventures which are fantastic to watch.

We left lily with Eleanor for 10 days and nights, it was the first time we had left her, at 23 months old, it's was a worry, but we had constant pictures and videos, she had a great time, I can't recommend this service enough, as second to none. Such a great place.

Natalie couldn't help me on some dog boarding but took the time to txt me a huge list of other people to contact, all this on an early Sunday morning! Bless you Natalie.

We left our puppy Willow for her first long stay with Natalie and it couldn’t have gone any better. Natalie was so friendly, professional and had so much knowledge of dogs. We received lots of video and photo updates whilst we were on holiday which was so lovely and really put our minds at ease. Natalie took Willow on lots of fantastic walks and showered her with hugs and affection. I could tell Willow absolutely loved staying with Natalie and can’t wait to go back next time! I can’t thank Natalie enough for taking such good care of Willow, I would highly recommend her.

Natalie looked after our dog Mango whilst we went down to Cornwall to get married recently. She was so reassuring and sent us loads of lovely pictures and videos of Mango living his best life on his little holiday! Would highly recommend to anybody looking for a home from home setting for their dog when they go away 🥰 Mango will 100% be back in the future! 😀 Thank you Natalie 🐾

We've used Natalie a number of times both for home boarding and for dog walking. Natalie is amazing at caring for your dogs like they are her own. We have daily updates and videos sent to use whilst on holiday which is so reassuring to see. Our dogs have a great time when they stay, playing with Natalie's own dog Millie to the point where they don't want to come home and sulk when they do. We highly recommend Natalie to anyone who is considering using her services.

Natalie is an amazing dog sitter, and our pup always has a great time with her and her family. She's brilliant at always sending updates and keeping us informed, and our dog clearly loves being at hers! It means we don't have to worry at all about going away.

For the first time, we had to leave our 8 months old Labrador with a dog sitter and chose Natalie. We dropped him off at hers and picked him up in great shape and happy as ever four days later. Natalie sent us photos and videos throughout our pooch’s stay and kept us up to date about his behaviour and well-being, which we very much appreciated. Our Lab got lots of cuddles and playtime with other dogs, Natalie herself and her daughter. She also took him for lots of long walks to ensure that he was getting the exercise he needs (yes, he’s VERY active). Natalie followed the instructions we gave her very closely so that we never had to worry about our dog’s dietary requirements. In summary; very professional and highly recommended!

Natalie and her family are the best ! Every time we leave our dog Ziggy with Natalie we feel relaxed knowing that Ziggy is well looked after and loved. We always get video and picture updates which make us feel that our dog is not far away from us. From now on we are planning our holidays only if we know Natalie is available to look after Ziggy . Fantastic family and fantastic care for your dog! Xxx thank you x

Being a Veterinary Nurse, I am extremely protective over my fur babies, and was petrified of leaving them in kennels whilst we went away (my first holiday without my dogs in 7 years) Luckily I found Natalie who welcomed my babies with open arms and treated them as if they were her own. With daily video updates and messages of reassurance, I've never been so relaxed and confident leaving my dogs with someone whilst we went away. I can now actually look forward to my next holiday knowing that with Natalie they are in safe hands. Thanks again!

In a word Natalie is AMAZING!! We left our cocker spaniel Ronnie for two weeks and I honestly couldn’t have asked for more from a dog sitter. I had regular daily videos and pictures which really put my mind at rest as we had never left him for so long before. If I’m honest I did think Ronnie wouldn’t want to come home he was having such a great time. Thanks again, Ronnie already is looking forward to his next visit and to see his playmate Millie ❤️ If you are looking for a brilliant dog sitter then look no further! Xx

Natalie looks after and walks our puppy Rodney every weekday for us and we trust her 150% Rodney loves her, we think she is great and a really lovely person. We have also noticed a great improvement on Rodney's walking on the lead as Natalie enforces his training needs. I would recommend everyone to her who needs someone that they can trust and that really cares! Thank you Natalie you are brilliant! Xxx

Our dog has now stayed with Lydia twice, once for daycare and once overnight. She is extremely thorough and we trust her to look after our dog and give him lots of attention and cuddles! She also takes amazing photos every time, so we enjoy seeing him having a great time with the other dogs. We would recommend Paws for Thought Solihull!

We have been using Paws for thoughts for last 1.5 years. Lydia has been fantastic with our lovely boy. Archie don’t like it anywhere else. Lydia looks after Archie like her own. We recently left Archie for a month and it was great. She posted pictures of Archie everyday and quick to response for our messages. Thank you :)

I have known Lydia for a number of years. I'm an experienced dog owner and have done courses in dog management and behaviour. Lydia is extremely professional and really cares about the dogs she looks after. I see her regularly in a number of different parks with a mixed group of dogs. Lydia goes out of her way to respond to the differing needs of each individual dog. I'm retired and don't need the services of a dog walker. However, if I did, Lydia would be my number one choice to take care of my dog.

Monty has had a lovely weeks stay with Lydia and her crew. Monty has his own little habits and traits and is not the easiest dog (maybe the largest) but he settled in to Lydias and loved the other dogs. Leaving your dog with someone new leaves you feeling nervous but the daily updates put our mind at rest so we could enjoy our holiday. I will certainly recommend Lydia to anyone looking a a home from home setting. Thank you so much he will be back soon 🙂

As dog owners we were very reluctant to put our dog into a kennel. Home boarding was the best solution for us and we started the process of finding someone to look after our new pup Barney early this year. We spoke to a number of people before we decided to use Lydia’s service. From day one she made it clear she would only accept a dog if it’s temperament was right and he got on well with not only her own dog but other dogs stopping with her, which was very reassuring to us. After a successful trial day followed by a trial overnight stay, Barney stopped with Lydia for a week. Barney came away bouncing and happy and it is clear he has been well looked after. Lydia was very thorough with every process especially at the beginning and we were pleased this was the case as it reassured us that she had the dogs interests at heart and that we were leaving Barney with someone we could trust. That attention to detail was a big reason for choosing Lydia. We also appreciated the daily photos on the Facebook page which again made us feel at ease during our holiday. Overall, we are extremely happy with how Barney has been cared for and would not hestitate in using Lydia again or recommending her to our friends and family. Thank you :)

Lydia has looked after my pup since he was 9 weeks old (he's nearly 4 years old now), and he absolutely loves her. He has such a wonderful time when out with her, and gets very excited when he hears her pull up! Couldn't trust her anymore if I tried. Would definitely, and do, recommend :)

Lydia has a wonderful way with dogs of all ages and my puppy has benefited so much from his weekly sessions with her. She is extremely thorough and takes every precaution regarding covid19. The dogs she looks after are well disciplined and have plenty of love, attention, exercise and play. I would recommend Paws for Thought and Lydia wholeheartedly.

I have used Paws for Thought to board my dog for many years. Lydia offers a very professional service and Ralph is well cared for during his stays there. He is always happy to go and is treated like one of the family. I have complete trust in Lydia and the service she provides.

Millie has boarded with Lydia for many years. Millie can’t wait to get out of the car when we arrive at Lydia’s and we so love seeing Lydia’s daily posts with pictures of Millie and all her boarding and walking friends. There is no one I would trust more to look after Millie than Lydia. She is the most caring dog lover and takes such pride in giving her absolutely best to all the dogs in her care.

Lydia has been looking after our French Bulldog for a few years now and has always provided a very professional, thoughtful and responsive service. We feel very well looked after by Lydia and would have no hesitation to recommend. And our dog loves her!!

I found an injured pigeon I phoned up and they told me to take it there the lady was so lovely and said she would put it in an incubator to warm it up as it had been cold and they would do all they could for it.

Family run boarding facility and wildlife sanctuary. Ray Dedicoat who runs it is incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate to all the animals who board or stay or are saved by him and his family. I cannot speak more highly than to say I would not board my dogs anywhere else or take my injured wild pigeons. There are more swanky places but I wouldn't rely on them to have the same level of care and consideration that I know they get at Holly trees.

Amazing to have Hollytrees and the wonderful people there in our community. Thank you for being so kind and caring.

Amazing place, I found an injured crow on Sunday and after being ignored by other places a lovely lady agreed to stay over to wait until I could get the crow up to her so it could be looked at and was kept in a nice warm incubator to recover. Thank you so much & for anyone reading these guys really care about ALL animals. ❤️

Amazing place never have they ever refused an animal from us, please donate if your passing. Thanks guys for all that you do for our fury friends, animals are always forgotten. Keep up good work. Your amazing. Xxx

Left my two dogs Callie a 10 month old Labrador and Boxer a very feisty little chihuahua with them for 17 days. They had never been boarded before and they were great with them. Would highly recommend Hollytrees. Very knowledgeable and friendly

Ray is lovely! We saved a litter of abandoned baby mice a couple of months ago and thankfully after calling them, Ray had a heated lamp ready for them to keep them warm. To book your pets in for boarding however, you need to call months ahead as they get busy quickly and get fully booked. If you plan your vacations ahead of time you can easily book your dogs to stay with them but if you are a spontaneous traveller and your dog is unable to make the trip with you it is unlikely you will find space for him here.

These kennels are brilliant my dog was very temperamental and had been banned from 3 kennels we was recommended to try Hollytrees and they was fantastic with him he was quite happy to go in. Would like to say an big thank you from us and Colin for looking after him

Mr Ray from Hollytree has been extremely helpful and friendly. I cannot thank him enough in assisting us in rehomimg our rabbits. Keep up the good work.

Used this kennel so many times and I can’t fault them, I love that the boarding kennels is also a rescue as well, I’d much rather give my money to them and know that it’s helping other animals to! All the staff are lovely and my dog loves it there 💙 …

Hayley has been wonderful with my dog waffles. helped me with training for waffles and also took care of him during my recent holiday. She provided regular WhatsApp updates whilst I was away and it was clear from the photos he had a fantastic time! Your dog will be treated as a family member and not just another member. Thanks Hayley!

Duke's have been taking care of our Nacho and Reggie for years now, and I wouldn't want or trust anyone else. They do drop ins when I'm out and about with work and they do longer overnight stays when me and my husband go on holiday. I swear they prefer them to us as they are always so happy on days when they are visited. Their care is second to none, understanding dietary requirements, and how fussy my boys can be with zero complaints. I also love that I can get treats from Dukes Treats for my boys from the same loving people. My dogs have visited all the members of staff and are always so carefully looked after, like having a really big extended family. I will be using them for the many years to come. 🖤
