Pet Sitters in Cam

Molly spent 3 days at Hydegate. It was her 1st time ever in kennels but also coincided with losing her life long companion Buster so I was a little apprehensive for her. I needed not have worried, Molly was treated so well & with such understanding of her situation. I cannot praise the staff at Hydegate too highly. They are wonderful.

Our dog Nellie went to Hydegate for one night whilst we were at our wedding. Donna was amazing and kindly came to pick Nellie up from our venue, which was 5 minutes away. This meant we were able to have her with us for part of our day and didn’t have to worry about getting her to Hydegate later in the afternoon. Nellie was very happy when we went to pick her up the next day, we could see she was well looked after. We will definitely use Hydegate again if we need somewhere for Nellie to stay. Thanks again for making our wedding day so special by coming to get Nellie from us!

We have used Hydegate for our three Cocker Spaniels on many occasions in the past and had a few niggles about feeding and bedding, strange smells etc. but nothing major. We recently left them at Hydegate for five days and when we collected them all of the dogs seemed a little nervous and unsettled. On the drive home I noticed a really very strong musty smell coming from the dogs. When I got them home I noticed that the new 3kg bag of mixer biscuits I had supplied was still over half full..... three dogs over five days and they only had about 1kg of biscuits in that time?? Worse to come.... for the next 2 or 3 days, all three of them had bad diarrhoea. I have since found a far better boarding kennel less than a mile from Hydegate and I will never take my dogs to Hydegate again. It really has gone downhill.

We liked the look and had our "Liggy" stay for two nights his first time away from us he is four and hates us leaving him. That said he lost his voice/bark due to barking/calling for us for 48 hours 😔 but he was well looked after healthy but we should have gotten him bathed/groomed, he stunk to hi heaven from the walking and and he does like to roll in other dogs scents left on the ground so we had to drive back to London with a stinking needy Liggy.

Cannot thank Hydegate enough, I had a terrible experience with generic kennels and my dog came back in a dyer state, having lost 2kg and riddled with fleas and ticks. Having looked around I then booked Hydegate despite it being over an hour from our address. The care my dogs receives whilst there is next to none, he comes home so happy. People complaining about the cost are obviously comparing their services to regular kennels, the service received here is miles apart, you pay for what you receive and this is worth every penny.

I am honestly at a loss to see why some dogs and owners seem to get preferential treatment, based on recent reviews. My dogs, Twix and Clover lost 1kg and half a kilo respectively while here for 5 days (they're small dogs), and we received NO contact from Hydegate while we were away, yet other owners have had plenty of updates and photos. My partner has already reviewed with more detail about their stay, but the 'authenticity' of the low scores is being called into question, and I had to say something. Booking Reference: HPRB009697 if you don't believe me. You can see from these photos that he is visibly smaller in the first two, while the ones of him resting on the sofa and from outside Starbucks are from the days just before we left. He was a healthy sturdy little guy when we left, and when we came back, he was much skinnier and it is not okay.

This is the second time I have left my two English Springer Spainels at Hydegate and would not leave them anywhere else. They have returned again happy healthy and clean . They are always happy to see us when we pick them up, but also turn around and go back to their careers while at Hydegate, which is a credit to your team . Thank you , you come highly recommended .

Our elderly dog Bobby stayed for a week and Lloyd, Hannah and all the staff were brilliant, Bobby needed lots of fuss and attention which we could see when we collected him that he got.. he’s quite fussy who he’s friends with but he went to all the staff for a fuss, I would definitely recommend Hydegate, they have restored our confidence that we can leave him there and take a holiday knowing he’s happy. Thanks a million Lloyd and the gang..

We can’t rate Hydegate highly enough. Dylan our golden retriever can sometimes be anxious. The team look after him incredibly well and he’s always happy after a stay with them. Definitely a five star pet resort.

Thank you to the team at Hydegate! Our dog is not naturally trusting of humans and this has been a challenge for us (and her) when she needs to go into kennels. We were greeted by Lloyd who explained how the Hydegate team now have behavioral expertise and work with the dogs to understand the best way to support a positive stay. She was housed in a kennel appropriate to her needs and went out for walks (we didn't think she would tolerate a stranger attaching a lead) which was great for her. The team even managed to give her coat a brush! The team were very understanding, attentive and responsive to our questions and concerns about leaving her. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

My dog, Dolly, has stayed with Irene and Peter three times now. They clearly both love dogs and I am confident that they look after her well. They asked lots of questions about Dolly’s needs and routines so they could give her the best experience. Dolly was so excited to see Peter at the start of her most recent stay, and wasn’t bothered about me leaving, which is very reassuring. The most recent stay was for 13 nights, which is the longest I have ever left her and they regularly sent me videos and photos. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants their dog cared for in a home environment.

We would highly recommend Peter and Irene to anyone needing holiday boarding and walking for their dogs. Our 2 dogs, Mabel and George recently stayed with them for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time. It was so reassuring to know they were being so well looked after, we could relax and enjoy our holiday. We received daily videos of the 2 of them on walks and enjoying time at home and also having fun with other daycare dogs. Peter and Irene spent time listening to everything we wanted them to know about our dogs and took everything on board regarding their individual needs, a fantastic experience and Mabel and George seem quite sad to be back home in their normal routine!

I was lucky enough to find Berkley Home Boarding & Pet Care a few months ago. I have a 4 year old cockapoo that was born during the Covid lockdown. He is very shy and needs lots of reassurance and love. Pre-Covid my husband and I had travelled extensively. We had a Yorkshire terrier called Archie who has been looked after for 16 years by a lovely lady who retired during Covid. My older dog sadly passed away in September 23. We had decided to resume our holidays but were really worried about who would look after Buster during our trips away. I looked at many options for 6 months until I found Irene and Peter. From the initial first call with Peter and then my first visit to discuss Buster and his needs I knew I had found the right people to look after Buster and to love him as we do. Buster did 2 day and over night visits to ensure he was ok and to make sure Irene and Peter were happy to look after him. The relationships built quickly and then we left Buster for two weeks whilst we went on a holiday. Both my husband and myself were worried as we set off for our trip. Irene and Peter are thorough in finding out about your dog and keep notes on their daily routines. A visit to the vet was needed and this was organised by Peter. We received videos and photographs daily and it was clear for us to see Buster had settled and was having fun on his daily walks. It was also good for Buster to spend time with other dogs that Irene and Peter were looking after in the day. In todays world it is hard to find many people who take a pride in their work and who want to deliver a good service. I struck the jackpot when I found Irene and Peter as they do care and it is clear to see they are very professional in dog care. Buster already treats their home as his own and they have even built him a little table with a bed on to lie on and look out of the window whilst Irene works. I now plan to book Buster in for day care once a fortnight to assist him with socialising better. I have also booked two more big holidays in the next year already. I would not hesitate to recommend Irene and Peter to look after your dog/s, Jackie

Berkeley Boarding and Pet Care are wonderful, i wouldn't leave my little dog with any other boarding company. Both Peter and Irene have made every stay with them full of fun and love and my dog is very happy to go there every time. they take the time to understand the needs and preferences of each dog and offer an incredible level of flexibility. The peace of mind this gives me is the sole reason i can go on any holidays, knowing they will care for my precious companion to the same standard as i do. I can wholeheartedly recommend them.

Irene and Peter have been looking after our cat for around a year now. They come over for half an hour a day whilst we are away on holidays or visiting family and we couldn't be happier with the service they provide. They're lovely with Esther and we never worry about her. Also, as a bonus, usually the room with all the cat things in is cleaner than when we left! I wouldn't hesitate recommend them, they will definitely keep your pets well looked after and they are both lovely people too.

We felt Bella was in very safe hands. Irene and Peter really care about getting the right dogs that will mix well and looking after them as they would be at home. Our Bella loved going there - and was straining at the lead to go in through the front door! What more can you say! Thank you

We have used Berkeley Boarding 3 times now. Our Cocker Spaniel Archie absolutely love Irene and Peter - he has the best time, which we can see in the daily video and photos that they send us. It’s his own little holiday, and a home from home for him. We could not imagine taking him anywhere else now. Thank you for looking after him so beautifully x

Our two dogs are rescue so can be anxious in unfamiliar situations. One is a springer/pointer cross, full of energy and into everything so not always the easiest to handle. However, I needn't have worried about him as he and Peter were the best of friends by the end of the holiday. We'd be very happy to recommend Irene and Peter to look after your dog.

Peter and Irene are such wonderful animal lovers. They have become Daisy’s extended family. I’m sure she misses them when we bring her home. The care and love they give to the dogs they look after is priceless. We adore our dog and I can relax completely when she’s with them. I feel so lucky we found them.

Irene and Peter gave purdie an amazing holiday experience, having never left her with anyone before she settled in so well, she had to be encouraged to come home with me! They kept in touch by sending lots of photos or videos of purdie having lovely walks and visits to the pub, she’s stayed with them twice now and I have no hesitation of leaving her with them again.

Highly recommend Elm View Kennels. Staff are extremely friendly and professional and you can see the love they have for the pets in their care. Staff were happy to send me updates / photos of my two chihuahuas while we were away . Wilson and Bobby came home looking healthy and smelling lovely, with their bedding blankets and toys all washed. Such a relief to have finally found somewhere where I can say I am happy to leave my dogs and know they are being cared for and loved.

We adopted our dog from here about 3 months ago, staff are all incredibly friendly and go through the adoption process amazingly! Frieda is a dream 💭 we are so lucky to have her! …

Visited here because my good friend was getting one of their rescued cats, gorgeous little kitty he is and he's settled into the family very well. Lovely facilities and you can see all the animals are well looked after. The 2 ladies there were so friendly and you can tell they care for the animals as if they were their own. If I was going to rescue an animal or board one of the ones I have already, it would definitely be here that I would choose. Highly recommend :)

Excellent kennels. Lovely staff. They looked after our dog very well. Highly recommended. Also it’s nice to find a kennels that doesn’t charge the same prices as 5 star hotels….

When you arrive you have ro press a siren that sounds like a siren from WW2 it sets all the dogs of barking and so my first impression was not a good one. The kennels are very unwelcoming - concrete floor with bars at the front - a bit like a prison cell. The staff were all friendly but obviously very stretched. The worst thing was that when I collected my dog two of her meals out of six were returned to me. So instead of feeding her twice a day they clearly only had fed her once a day. They said they would look in to what happened but they never came back to me. My dog was heavily stressed when I collected her - panting and shaking and very exhausted - she slept for the entire next day. I would not recommend Elm View.

Dog & Cats stayed here for over a week while we were away for our wedding and small break. Excellently cared for and they helped us when our flights got cancelled and we were delayed returning! 100% would send animals there again!

Our 2 dogs go there for doggy day care and stop overs and could not recommend a better place for them.

Amazing. Loving the new field. Remembered me and my dog from two years ago. Very friendly colleagues and very happy with the service offered highly recommended. Thank you team x

Sent my cats there for second time, returned to find using carry bag for a bed, wasnt imformed that they leave them in the pen with them, throughout the visit, bag returned very dirty, Also cats on a special diet gave them enough food and extra pouches, to find they had fed them more than they should have had, instructions where given about how much food they should have .. dry food container has got wet food all dried onto and inside it, it also was very dirty on return when ensuring was this there own food or something else they could not tell me, so had to throw out 3/4 container of dry food not sure what it was so couldn't use it, not happy as the food is expensive will not be sending my cats there again. Very disappointing as the reviews say different.

Are dog stayed here for a week and she had a wonderful time, lots of photos of her sunbathing with a really lovely young lady (sorry don’t know her name). I would highly recommend this place and am extremely happy for her to stay again. Thank you for looking after angel so well

First time experience day boarding for our anxious rescue GSD. Nova doesn’t mix well with people until she gets to know them. So we were apprehensive and had no idea how this was going to work out. She took to Ollie straight away at the meet and greet a few weeks ago, and obviously remembered him hence trotting off with only a few glances back. Ollie also messaged to let us know she was ok. The kennels are spotless and facilities perfect. I wouldn’t place Nova anywhere else. Ollie, you have saved us from a lifetime without holidays. You are an absolute gem - thank you!

Our dog is a regular visitor at Ham Farm Kennels, Oli and family offer fantastic care, excellent facilities and have the highest of standards of cleanliness. 5 ⭐️ 🐶 …

Five stars aren't enough to rate the outstanding service Tracey's provided. She's looked after my bunny for 10 days and I was truly impressed with the way he's been cared for. Daily updates with videos and pictures, large indoor area with plenty of toys to keep him entertained, regular grooming, and some free roaming! Highly recommend!

Tracey has been great looking after my daughters two guinea pigs. They are looked after, kept warm in a spacious cage and given attention and fed with love and care. Thank you Tracey your amazing!

Tracey looked after our two guinea pigs over Christmas for just over 2 weeks whilst we went to India to get married. I was apprehensive at the prospect of pet boarding, but Tracey immediately put my mind at rest from my first initial enquiry, going on to call me to discuss their needs. Tracey has a fabulous set up for her guests with big cages and runs with lots of stimulation for the animals, and we loved meeting her own guinea pigs on drop off day. We were sent daily picture updates whilst we were away and we especially loved the Christmas photoshoot. Our guinea pigs were so well cared for we were actually worried they would not want to come home with us! We cannot thank Tracey enough for looking after our boys for us so we could have a stress free wedding, and would recommend Tiny Paws to anyone needing small pet boarding.We will definitely be booking in for more guinea pig holidays.

Tracey has been brilliant at looking after our guineapigs. Daily updates, lots of outdoor time and indoor space if raining. Really considerate of each guineapigs needs. We also have one piggy who needs daily meds, and although this takes extra time - Tracey has been more than happy to help. Would highly recommend, our go-to for boarding piggies.

Tracey. Looked after Our guinea pig this week (July2021) she is such a lovely lady, caring, knowledgeable and great with guinea pigs and rabbits. When we dropped our piggy off, she showed us all around and took the time to show my 8year old son other guinea pigs their cages, runs and even her own animals. Our piggy was well looked after and we were sent daily photos of what he was up to. They get plenty of time outdoors in the large runs and fed well. Happy piggy, happy owners.Will definitely use Tiny Paws again 😊

Super handy for Dursley Town and Cam Village. Saved our piggies bacon as we'd forgotten to book lodgings with a few weeks to go before our holiday. They have everything covered, food, treats, indoor cages and outdoor runs. I can safely say, our guineas were well looked after. Thanks Tiny Paws.

We regularly holiday our Guinea Pigs at Tiny Paws Holiday. They are friendly, very kind to our animals, give great daily photos and feed back how they are enjoying their stay. I highly recommended them.

Tracey took excellent care of Ziggy our indoor Rex rabbit and provided daily photo updates - highly recommend

Really great experience received. Took my bunny here and all is well. Definitely recommend, great service.

Great place with lovely owners.... Took care of our five guinea pigs with daily photos!

Suzi and Jon were great, they looked after my puppy for the day, he made himself very much at home and looked really relaxed. They kept me updated with photos and videos during the time. Highly recommend. Thanks both Anna :)

I highly recommend Pawsome Capers. Suzi is conscientious and caring, she went above and beyond whilst looking after my three cats recently. She sent me daily updates with photos and videos. My cats were in great hands and seemed very relaxed and happy on my return.

Pawsome Capers are friendly , approachable , reliable and flexible and have provided us with great care to our 6 month old puppy doing daily check ins 4 days a week . Strongly recommend.

Really great dog walkers. We have used them for a while and are very happy with the service. Communication is excellent and our dog really enjoys his walks with them :)

Helen and the team are amazing! Our dog is loved and treated so well by the team. We trust them with the safety and enjoyment of our dog and he really doesn't want to come back home he enjoys it that much.

Amazing - my dog comes home tired but not too tired and his pulling on the lead has reduced so much as he is getting the socialisation he had been craving. Love the team, super friendly and Helen really knows her stuff which is a massive bonus. Such a fab location for the dogs to play in

My rescue dog was extremely nervous and Helen is brilliant with him and now our new rescue puppy, who is the opposite, super confident. She trains us owners as well as the dogs, and I think she is a dog whisperer !! We only needed a few lessons, but still go for socialisation and talk to Helen about any issues. Highly recommended

Helen is professional and really looks after the dogs. Buddy is always wagging his tail when we pull up in the morning.

Lovely setting, plenty of long walks for the dogs, top class care by highly qualified and experienced staff.

Very impressed with Helen.she gave us exactly the help we needed. I have already recommended her.🤗🤗🤗 …

Helen is great really helped us with behaviour issues 👍 highly recommended …

Our dog loves it here. Excellent in every way

Wouldn't trust my dogs with anyone else

Fantastic buddy loves it 😀 …

Kate is amazing, our Freddie 2.5 year old Cockerpoo is very anxious but over the last few weeks Kate has visited us to get him used to her as we had a family wedding. He had a good day and very calm when we returned home. Thank you Kate, would recommend you highly 👍 …

Kate has recently looked after my 3 cats when I went away. She sent me updates with videos and pictures which reassured me that they were ok. I feel 100% happy having left my fluffables in her capable hands and will have every confidence in requesting Kate’s services should I need to do so again - thank you 🤩 …
