Pet Sitters in Ewen

Monti absolutely loves his days at Playschool, runs to Owen and the bus and comes home washed off, relaxed and ready to sleep. No guilt or bored dogs in this house!

Emma and her team clearly want to put all the Dogs first! Emma’s knowledge and caring approach, coupled with the excellent design of the facilities have improved so many Dog’s lives, just by looking at them. Glad I have found Emma and her team. My Dogs are always delighted to visit The Doggy Playschool Company.

Our little border terrier, Luna, loves her weekly visit to Mocha and Maisy. She sits waiting for her bus to arrive and has a fantastic day. She always sleeps for a couple of days afterwards!

Disappointed. Owed a fair bit of money by the day care and mutually agreed. However no further communication. Waited over 5 months now. Therefore I would not recommend.

Emma and her team at Mocha and Maisy's Doggy Playschool are fantastic. Archie, our cocker spaniel, has a great time when he's there and is exhausted when he gets back home! We know that he is being well looked after and is safe and secure whilst in Emma's care. The interaction he has with other dogs has meant that he has become a much more confident and social dog since he's been at Playschool. We can't thank and praise the team at Mocha and Maisy's enough.

My puppy's had his first 2 sessions at play school this week, he's been picked up and returned as promised and is wonderfully exhausted when he comes home 😁 The environment is perfect for some doggy playtime with lots of new friends and exciting things to play with. Emma and Lisa are lovely and I think he will be very happy there!

Our experience at Mocha and Maisy has been amazing. Milo (our golden) waits patiently for the van to turn up on puppy school days excitedly whimpering and watching out the window for its arrival. His report card is filled out letting us know how his day has been and they are great at updating social media showing what he has been up too. And, when he returns, we don’t hear a peep from him for the rest of the night! A day spent well playing!

Cannot praise Mocha and Maisy Doggy Playschool enough. Jackson anxiously waits for the "school bus" and comes home exhausted from playing with all his friends. He absolutely loves Emma and Lisa and all who are involved. An incredibly well run and thought out business and so very thankful to have found you.. Thank you to all xx

Am delighted to have found a place that my dog can go where I have total peace of mind that he is safe and happy. Love how excited he is to go in and really appreciate how positive, professional and friendly the team there are. Thank you!

Tilly always enjoys a visit to Mocha & Maisy. It truly is a “happy place” for dogs offering a safe, fun and inquisitive environment…. just perfect 🐾

Our hamster, Cookie, has just spent the past couple of weeks at Fluffy Paws boarding, whilst we went on holiday, and I would highly recommend them if you need someone to care for your small animals. Zoe has been amazing, at not only caring for Cookie whilst we were away but also supporting and guiding my daughter in being more confident in handling Cookie. We had regular contact with Zoe whilst away, and my daughter loved receiving the photos and videos of Cookie to see how settled he was. Thank you again, Zoe, for all of your guidance 😍

We cannot recommend Zoe highly enough for the care of your small animal. Our beloved hamster Pouch stayed with Zoe for the week and where we were very worried about holding Pouch, Zoe has helped give us all confidence in handling and some excellent tips on play times. We feel extremely lucky to have found Zoe ☺️

Zoe has been the most dedicated and amazing person looking after my rabbits when we were away ! She has updated us everyday with photos, videos and messages. We knew how our rabbits were doing, how well she was taking care of them while taking them inside or outside depending on the weather. Their food has never been so diverse and they loved it ! We have introduced many many things in their diet and habits thanks to Zoe and the time she took to actually educate my partner and I about rabbits needs. Milo my eldest rabbit actually fell in love with Zoe and her husband. Very funny and cute to see ! They were amazing with them. Not the mention the price which was very very very fair considering all the care and attention they had ! I don’t think there is anyone able to compete with them. Zoe thank you so much again, you will clearly see these two little terrors again as I am pretty sure they are looking forward to it. Not to mention that Milo has always been scared of going on someone’s lap or in someone’s arm but it seems like Zoe’s house was a paradise for him! His behaviour changed and he is such a gentle and confident little fluff now. Thank you so much again!! xxxx

We are so glad we found Fluffy Paws Boarding! Zoe and Mike offer an excellent, professional, personal, and friendly service from start to finish. They really do go above and beyond – nothing is too much trouble. They are extremely knowledgeable; and it’s clear they love animals and know how to look after them. We knew our pet rabbit was in a safe and caring pair of hands. They looked after her brilliantly. Whilst we were on holiday Zoe sent us pictures and video clips of our rabbit which was great. The grooming service was excellent too, with our rabbit returning like she’d had a full service. She was so happy and content too – she’d obviously had a very enjoyable time. We highly recommend and will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you Zoe and Mike.

Zoe and Mike have been absolutely fantastic looking after our two guinea pigs. Our piggies have never stayed with anyone else before but Zoe's set up helped them settle in straight away, with loads of toys to play with, hay to nestle in, grass time and pen time. We were really pleased that they got lots of cuddles every day and Zoe and Mike even taught us some things they liked which we didn't know about before, like belly rubs. Zoe and Mike were super friendly and seemed genuinely enthusiastic about looking after our guineas and seemed to love looking after them, which really put our minds at rest. I would highly recommend Zoe and couldn't fault anything.

Our gorgeous Guineas spent their first stay at Fluffy Paws last week and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them! Zoe and Mike went above and beyond to make sure our daughter felt comfortable leaving her most treasured pets with them, from letting her set up their cage to sending lovely photos including the sign she had made them, which really reassured her. It is clear how much care Zoe and Mike take over genuinely caring for them and making them feel at home. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Thank you so much! Xxx

I honestly cannot recommend Zoe and Mike enough. I dropped off my two female bunnies to them not long ago both of which we thought were mini lops. Zoe was able to tell me that actually one of them is a lop X rex which has been a massive help to us with understanding her personality and traits. Not only did Zoe manage to bond my two girls in a week, but it's literally like I've brought home two different rabbits (in a good way!!) they've gone from me thinking that they may never be bonded and never like being picked up, nails cut or anything like that to being the complete opposite. they are now best friends, beside each other and playing 24/7, are fine being handled and cuddled. Zoe has managed to achieve everything I have trying to in months and has completely gone above and beyond for me and my two girls. She also sends regular updates with pics and videos which really help when you're missing your pets. Not only is she a lovely person but she is absolutely fantastic with animals and that stands out a mile off. I cannot recommend fluffy paws enough, I am so grateful for all of the hard work Zoe has put in and I will definitely be booking in for future boarding!❤️🐇

Our house rabbit had a great time with Zoe and Mike. They are very experienced and Lola settled in very quickly and was obviously happy with her environment. We were sent lots of updates, pictures and videos so could see what she’d been up to. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Zoe for your small animal boarding needs.

Zoe recently looked after my tortoise Henry for a few weeks and did a great job! Zoe is very friendly and professional with a wealth of knowledge and experience! We got regular updates and pictures and I know Henry was well looked after. It's clear that Zoe is a huge animal lover and welfare and care are her top priority. I would happily let Henry stay again. Thank you Zoe!!

Zoe looked after our bunnies for two nights in August. This was the first time we had really been apart from the bunnies since getting them but felt I was leaving them in safe hands. Had updates each day from Zoe about how the buns were and what they had been up to and a cluster of photos to reassure me that they were happy and looked after with time out of their hutch. Zoe did her due diligence in finding out plenty about what the bunnies were used to before their stay and was happy to continue providing the medication that one of my bunnies was on. We have booked in again this month and plan to for Christmas. You can tell that Zoe and her partner are animal people and really care about the pets in their care. Thanks for taking care of Mocha and Solo.

The We Love Pets team have been walking my two border terriers for the past 7 years, more recently adding my Whippet puppy to the crew! Over 7 years Claire & her team have got to know my dogs really well, understanding the dogs quirks, especially as they are getting older, adapting especially as their needs have changed. Our current walker has been walking the dogs for a while now, including the whippet baby! The dogs love her she loves & cares for them, they’re always delighted to see her and enjoy their walks. She looks out for their welfare & notices when something is not quite right. More recently we have been using the home boarding services, this is a really welcome service where I don’t want my elderly dogs staying in kennel, I also like the fact that there is someone in the house. I feel I can go away on business or holiday and know that my dogs and home being in safe hands with a totally trustworthy team who keep me up to date with what’s going on at home! We Love Pets offer an incredible personal service with a loving touch for your pets, I would highly recommend them.

There are not many people who are brave enough to look after three boisterous weimaraners, but Claire has welcomed this wholeheartedly! My dogs absolutely love Claire, and can’t wait for their cuddles. She is so attentive to their individual needs, and she spends lots of time with them in the garden and making sure that everything is operating just right. Claire also looks after my house with the dogs in it, rather than us worrying about kennels or having to take them to someone else’s house, which provides us with so much confidence. I have no hesitation recommending Claire to anyone thinking about using her company for dog-sitting and walking services. ❤️

Great service from WLP Cirencester, they really look after our dog and treat her like they would their own pet, she clearly loves her walks with them. Claire is very flexible to the dogs needs and provides piece of mind that she is being properly cared for.

I have been using Claire for quite a while now and she is the most reliable and professional business I’ve ever used! Really struggled to find reliable people in Cirencester. Genuine care towards my dog (who’s a chihuahua and doesn’t always enjoy going out) 100% reliability and lots of care and compassion towards my pooch. Highly recommend :)- Sophie &Bunny 🐾

Claire and her team provide a fantastic service. When I first met Claire back in February, she took the time to get to know me and my family and the needs of our pets. She has tailored her service to meet our needs perfectly. Her and her team have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure our pet is looked after with love and care. I have complete faith and trust and can rest easy knowing that our pet is going to be well looked after. I would highly recommend you reach out to Claire and use her services. A VERY happy customer!

Claire and her team are flexible and very friendly and they are extremely reliable. We are very happy with the service they are providing for our dog Dotty.

Claire is a fab dog walker, takes the time to get to know both the family and their pets. By understanding the needs and requirements of the dogs she’s able to plan and execute wonderful walks either alone of with a buddy. When odd occasions arise and she’s unable to attend, a friendly colleague is always on hand. Never out of the blue as she ensures that the customer has previously met the colleague beforehand. Our collie has grown very fond of her and always looks forward to his next adventure! I would recommend Claire as she is fully insured and background checked. Also for her expertise and walk rate is very competitive.

We would highly recommend Claire if you are looking for someone to look after your cats whilst you are away. Her love of animals shines through and she spends time with you to find out about your pets’ characters and any special needs. It is so reassuring to be able to go away now and know how well our girls are being looked after in their own home, which is so much less stressful than going to a cattery. And it’s great to receive a message from Claire after each visit to reassure us that all is well with them. Thank you so much Claire, we wish we had found you years ago!

We have been using We Love Pets Cirencester for a few years now. I can't recommend them highly enough. They are great. Completely reliable and ensure our pets get their usual pettings as well as food and the basics. When our travel plans changed unexpectedly they were able to add us to their busy schedule. I can trust them with our animals and that is a real compliment .

Claire has such a lovely natural friendly approach with animals. Our dogs love her. Would recommend her 100%

Michelle looked after my cat Charlie whilst we were on holiday even though he decided to eat something he shouldn’t and become ill 2 days before we went 😩 She ensured he was loved and well looked after. He was on a special diet and nothing was too much for her. I had regular updates from her and he was a happy relaxed cat when I came back. She is someone who has the best interests for your pet. I would recommend her to everyone I know. She even checked up on him when we saw her out and about! She doesn’t forget a pet!

Our Harvey has been coming to TLC since he was 13 weeks old (now 3 yrs old) and he loves it. He can’t wait to get in through the door and play with his dog friends. Michelle is lovely, very down to earth, open and honest. She looks after the pets in her care as if they’re her own. Harvey’s stayed overnight a few times and will be a couple more times later in the year, I am out at ease and have peace of mind he’s being loved and cared for. Highly recommend.

We had tlc Michele to have our coco for 3 weeks whilst in America , coco is a jack Russel and nervous , when we picked up she was so happy and content she loves Michele which make us feel relaxed to leave her thank you so much Michele your amazing

If I could give 10 stars I would! Michelle has been looking after our dog Patch for many years. Both day crèche and boarding. When I had to go into hospital recently she was very flexible with having Patch, so my husband could visit. We moved to North Yorkshire for 3 years and we still used Michelle when we went on holiday. She is an animal lover and it shows in the care she gives to pets in her care. Patch always wags his tail as Michelle takes him from me, when I drop him off - you can’t get a better review than that!

I am so happy with the care given to my dog and cat by Michelle. It was great to come home to two happy fur babies. It makes me feel safe when I go away knowing my pets are very well looked after

Michelle thank you so much for the care and kindness you showed to my two border collies. They loved staying with you . It was lovely coming home after two weeks away . To be greeted by two happy dogs. We will definitely leave them with you again

I have used Michelle to look after cats for 5 yrs when on holiday and my cocapoo Leo since he was 4months old at least 2-3 days aweek when I work long hours, he is now 2yrs and still loves going to Michelle's he practically runs out the door, when he see's her. The service she gives is above and beyond, the animals love her and they are the best indicators of a person's personality professionalism and stability. He has also stayed overnight and weekends with Michelle at TLC, I will be using her till one of us retires 👍😁

HIGHLY WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND! DO NOT TRUST THIS WOMAN! I initially thought Michelle was a caring woman who I could trust to take care of my 2 boys while I was away(2 beautiful male rats). I’ve never left them for longer than a few hours to go to work so I was extremely worried about leaving them in someone else’s care as they are very dependent animals. I didn’t receive updates at all and when I returned home it was a devastating sight! She had obviously neglected them and when I asked why she hadn’t cleaner their cage AT ALL she gave me rude petty replies of ‘I couldn’t get the cage open’ or ‘I didn’t want to wake them up’, knowing full well it’s extremely important to clean and disinfect at least every 2 days as they are extremely prone to respiratory diseases from breathing in their own urine, I now have rats with respiratory diseases and infections, I will be paying vet bills until they die their early death because of this! Not to mention their water bowl was filled with bedding and faeces and the water was non existent. As well as old pieces of food I had noticed from the day I had left. ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING! No care whatsoever it is disgusting. I feel sick to my stomach how someone else treated my babies and in my own trust as well.

Michelle looked after my 2 cats and canaries when I went away for the weekend. She was professional and kept me updated on how they were doing as I had never left my pets with anyone before. She is someone I will happily use again should I need someone. I recommend her to everyone who needs a pet sitter.

Michelle is amazing with the dogs. They absolutely love her. Brilliant customer service, always helpful and friendly. Would not go anywhere else! Thank you Michelle for taking the stress and worry out of finding somewhere for my dog to stay.

We have used Andrew from We Love Pets several times this year for home-boarding. We have found him to be very reliable, and we are delighted with how quickly he put Maisie at ease. (She's a slightly anxious dog.) He also communicates with us very well, regularly sending photos of how Maisie is getting on. We were particularly delighted that, on her most recent stay, Maisie made a friend out of a fellow boarder.

I have been using We Love Pets (Swindon) for about 12 months now since I got my second (and fairly challenging) pup. Because of reactivity issues my boys get visits and cuddles rather than walks and it’s been a life saver. Andrew has been brilliant from day 1, accommodating every request, including holiday sits even when I’ve left it to the very last minute. I’m so grateful that Andrew and his amazing team show my gruesome twosome so much love and care and regular updates make leaving them a little bit easier. Finn and Oakley love having you as their extended family, thank you ❤️

We’ve used We Love Pets several times now and always have a great experience with them. All the team are super friendly, polite and professional, and very knowledgable about dog care and needs, even with our reaction and anxious dog. They always keep us well informed of how our dog is doing when sitting for us. I have already recommended them to friends and family and would highly recommend We Love Pets Swindon to anyone needing pet care services.

They took excellent care of our two indoor kittens and our outdoor cat for a week while we were on holiday. We received daily photos and updates, which eased our minds greatly. All the cats loved the carriers and took to them immediately, which was amazing since they are normally shy around new people. Thank you guys again for looking after our babies while we were gone 💜

The team are fantatsic with Poppy, always on time and always flexible with changing any bookings, Poppy loves her walks to, they send photos during walks and she always looks so happy!

Andrew was very accommodating, especially as we left it until the last minute to organise. We met Linda, and she was great, Buddy loved her instantly. All round great service provided, and we looked forward to receiving the photos on a daily basis while we were away. Will definitely be using again in the future

Andrew and Penny have been great with our cockapoo! He loves it when they come to visit him during the day. Thank you very much!

We had we love pets coming into to check on our cat, Tigerlily, on our wedding day. They were perfect. Whilst visiting they fed and ensured everything was perfect, they sent us updates and pictures when they were there. It was super reassuring that we knew she was in good hands. If we ever need someone to pop into ours we love pets will be the first people we contact. I have since recommend their services to friends with pets. Thank you so much Andrew!

Andrew is absolutely amazing with our poodle and I was very impressed by how thorough he was before he agreed to have our dog for a week to make sure she was happy with him and settled. He sensed I was a bit anxious to leave her and was great at keeping me updated throughout her stay. It's always a good sign when your dog is waggy tailed to see someone. 5 stars from me Andrew, thank you.

Andrew and his team have been walking my dog, Brie, since December and we love receiving happy pictures of her each visit. They’re well priced, reliable, have been able to accommodate our very ad hoc requests and super friendly :) highly recommended!

We recently used Precious Paws for our cat and were really satisfied with the experience. Perdi is a true professional who adores cats. She gave us confidence that our cat would be well cared for. Upon picking our cat up, we could see that he was calm and happy, not at all stressed like he had been in the past in other catteries. The cabin was clean, spacious, with an outdoor secure space, and designed to make cats feel safe, comfortable and entertained. It even provided our cat a chance to make friends with one of the owner's cats, who is so sweet! Overall, we highly recommend Precious Paws to any cat owner looking for a reliable and caring place for their pet. The combination of professionalism and a stress-free atmosphere made all the difference for both us and our cat. Thank you, Perdi, for providing such exceptional care!

Absolutely fantastic. A few months ago, Perdi very kindly took care of my two cats for a few days when another cattery cancelled my booking without reason at short notice. I should have posted sooner - highly recommend.

Wonderful cat boarding experience for our two very pampered house cats. They stayed for a week in one of the lovely cat lodges and had a great time enjoying the Precious Paws facilities! Very organised and caring host who clearly adores animals so we knew our boys were in safe hands. Highly recommend.

So happy with the service at Precious Paws. Perdi is so caring and felt 100% confident leaving our Oriental boy with her. He has some health issues and Perdi is very experienced and knowledgeable with caring for his needs.We had regular updates and he settled so well. He had loads of cuddles and play. Very pleased to see how well and contented he was when we collected him.

Stunning service, trouble free and happy cats. Perdi looked after my cats for a week with morning and evening home visits, came back with stress free cats. I had regular pics and updates whilst I was away. Perdi is very experienced and has a lot of time and love for animals. Thank you! 😊 …

I highly recommend Perdi! She came once a day to our house to look after two of our cats and a house rabbit, and she also kept our more troublesome cat in her cat pen for 10 days. She sent daily updates and photos (at our request) and we were able to enjoy our holiday knowing that our pets were all being well looked after. She was very professional, with paperwork and a first meet beforehand. Thanks so much for everything!

Perdi did an outstanding job looking after our two cats. She clearly likes cats and followed all our complicated instructions perfectly. She also stayed in touch very well so we felt reassured that everything was fine at home while we were away. We would recommend Perdi's excellent service and intend to ask her to look after our cats again. It's hard to imagine how anyone could do a better job of looking after your much loved pets.

Excellent service for my old boy , he always seems calm and happy after perdis home visits . Reliable and trustworthy, would definitely recommend 🐈‍⬛ …

Perdi visited our rescue cats once a day for 10 days during our recent holiday. It was such a relief to know they were receiving such kind, reliable care. We were delighted with the professionalism of Perdi's approach, she is very thorough and very practical! A very safe, reliable pet sitting service which we will be booking again and recommending to our friends! Perdi also kept my many plants alive and well and collected the post. We returned to a calm and happy home. Thank you Perdi.

We have trusted Perdi with our two cats many times now. She is a very friendly person, always willing to make it work for you and always available at late notice! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a real pet lover to put their mind at ease whilst they are away.

Amanda and Kirsty have been walking my dogs since that started and they LOVE them. Highly recommended :)

Brilliant -

My Lab retriever Milo has been going to spatchsotch kennels for 4 years he loves socialising with the other dogs, Lynn and her team are fabulous, l wouldn't take Milo anywhere else. ❤️

Our two lurchers (Denny and Bailey) love Spatchcock, all the staff are very caring and think about your dogs as individuals. The very large enclosed paddock is brilliant as lurchers love to run at top speed, but can be prone to running off after small furry wildlife, so it's great to know they're not going to escape!! Lots of walks during the day, and meals included. Very happy dogs = very happy owners.

The Kennels are situated in a lovely remote area South some great views. The dog visited for 3 days and she had a really enjoyable time with lots of walks and fun. Since her stay, we've been back to use the training service so we can get some guidance on her behaviour on and off the lead. We spent an hour in the paddock and the dog truly loved it. We knew she enjoyed her stay, because when we got back for the training she was really pleased to see the team. We are looking forward to seeing them all again soon.

My Boys are regular guests at Spatchcock owing to my work commitments and they absolutely love it! I have a terrier type who can be a bit tricky and a chihuahua, so not the most easy going of dogs, but they are both delighted to return every time. The Chihuahua in particular, adores his stays and actually returns a happier dog! I think he finds life at home a bit dull after the fun and entertainment of Spatchcock. Lynne and her staff are just fantastic, they are brilliant at dealing with the differing needs of my dogs in order to keep them happy. Whenever they go to stay, they rush in to say hello to the staff and check out who else is staying. I never have any worries about whether they are comfortable and happy and I would recommend Spatchcock to anyone without hesitation. Thank you Lynne and Co for looking after The Boys so well and we will see you soon!

Brilliant kennels and staff that really treat your dog like their own. We were super worried about our 10 month old Golden Retriever who has separation anxiety and never been to kennels but he spent 3 days for our wedding in the area here and from the videos and updates was absolutely fine. Thanks for taking such good care of our furbaby.

We couldn't be happier with the way Lynne and the team have welcomed our dogs to Spatchcock. It's not been easy to find somewhere we are happy to leave them - but they always come back so happy and tired from their time there! We would highly recommend the excellent Spatchcock Kennels to anyone who was looking for doggy accommodation.

We've used Spatchcock Kennels for many years and our current dog Jessie (chocolate lab) loves the 3 walks a day she gets. The staff all seem to know her so well and are so friendly. Highly recommended.

Happy Well-Run Kennels I have been using Spatchcock Kennels since Lyn and Lee took it over from the previous owners a few years ago. They have made some excellent improvements to the property which is ideally suited for a kennel with the spacious grounds for exercise neatly fenced off for safety. My labrador is a very nervous, easily frightened fellow and I was worried that kennel life might be too stressful for him, but somehow Lyn and Lee have managed to make him think it's his own holiday camp or PGL! They have kept the same supporting staff - always a good sign, and always done their best to accommodate awkward changes of plan. The most important thing is that my dogs (a terrier, lab) always come home happy and well from their stay away.

We have used the kennels a number of times for our border terrier. She is always happy to go and comes back home for a rest after a great time socialising and walking with the other dogs. The owners sometimes let her sleep in her basket in the office for company while they do their paperwork. Very happy to recommend.

Our Rom rescue has stayed for different periods of time, from half day to nearly two weeks. She has come home each time with no issues. Knowledgeable and kind staff. We really enjoy seeing our pooch in the paddock on the uploaded vids, having a good sniff round and interacting with staff and other dogs.

When I met with Melanie last summer to chat about daycare for our puppy, Waffle, I was immediately incredibly impressed as I was a very nervous new puppy mum! Melanie’s love for dogs is so clear to see and she has a wealth of experience. She immediately won my heart and I knew that Waffle would be safe, secure, stimulated and most importantly loved while I’m at work. I was right and Waffle absolutely loves her time with Melanie and her doggy pals! Melanie is just brilliant 🤩 and I recommend her wholeheartedly 💛🐾

Melanie has been looking after my puppy for the last three months and she has been everything I could have wished for and more. My pup comes home tired from a long day of fun, and can’t wait to be back, often not wanting to leave! Having quite an irregular work pattern and sometimes needing short notice care, Melanie has always been so accommodating and flexible which has been invaluable. It is reassuring to know that my pup is getting top quality care and being well socialised. I trust Melanie completely and I am very happy knowing he is being so well looked after. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you Melanie.

Melanie was a God send for me. Having a puppy and a job at the same time is not easy to manage. She made it easy for me. Melanie is kind and professional, and my young puppy Henry has had a great time going to hers. He was super happy to go each day and came home exhausted from a happy day of play each time. I would not hesitate to recommend Melanie to anyone needing happy, fun, professional and caring support for their puppy. Thanks so much Melanie.

Dougal has been going to Melanie's for about 4 years now. He goes for day care once or twice a week and also for his holidays (!) Dougal is always greeted by Melanie with a big smile and he loves to lay on his back and have his tummy tickled when he is dropped off. A day at Melanie's is filled with lovely long walks (even on cold, wet, windy days - that's dedication from Melanie !) cuddles and plenty of playtime. What could be better ! I trust Melanie 100pc. In the last few years when the weather has been unbearably hot during the summer months, Melanie made sure that the dogs were kept safe from the dangers of overheating. Each dog was provided with a cooling coat - and the pooches were even treated to a paddling pool and gazebo in the garden - amazing ! Melanie is just brilliant, the best really. Always reliable, incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable. Nothing is ever too much trouble. We are incredibly lucky to have found her. Dougal comes home exhausted but oh so happy !

I have had Melanie look after My retriever several times and each time, he’s come away happy, tired and content! He got extremely excited each time he caught sight of her and I could not recommend this lady enough. Your loved one and fur baby will thank you from the bottom of its paws 🐾 100% recommend. She is well trained, knowledgeable, professional and safe. Thank you Melanie.

My two lively dogs have stayed with Melanie on a few occasions and have been very happy and most of all had a lot of love and attention. Melanie is very caring and obviously very happy in her work. Looking forward to when we can next have a holiday as well as Ziva and Rascal.

Unreservedly recommended! Friendly, helpful, accommodating. Melanie goes out of her way to help - with advice, when you're in need, to make sure all dogs are safe and very well-cared for.. you name it. My dog is unbelievably happy with our 'best friend' - everything you could hope for; could not ask for more!

Melanie is fantastic! The boys love her so much. It’s so reassuring to know the boys are happy when we go away and Melanie sends regular updates and photos which is hugely appreciated. I’d highly recommend Melanie!

Melanie is a fantastic lady. I don't know what I would do without her. ..I only have to say her name to my dogs and they are at the door looking for her. Crying out for her!! I come home too see they are happy and tired out. Thank you Melanie

Thank you! We just love all our gorgeous pups and they have such fun with their best friends here.

Updated: July 13th 2023 For several years now the team at My Best Friend Dog Care have helped us out when our daughter's dog,Huxley, our furry grandson comes to stay. They always manage to fit him in. Even at short notice. Today it was Lauren who has done an excellent job. As well as him looking great, he also always seems to enjoy the experience. We really can't recommend this place more highly. Thanks to all the staff who provide such a friendly and professional service. Updated: December 2022 This is a superb dog groomers. At very short notice they were able to accommodate a grooming for the dog of a family member. The dog was staying with us for a few weeks. The dog loved it and looked really tidy. We will certainly use this place again in the future, when our doggy guest is with us 🐶 Indeed we have returned : Once again Clara provided a superb grooming for our guest dog. Indeed his next visit is already booked. It is reassuring to know that such a professional service is available close by. As 2022 draws to a close, yet again our visiting dog has managed to secure several visits to Clara and her team, during his stays with us. Each time he returns looking and smelling great. He is also full of vim and vigour when we collect him.

I have used My Best Friend Dog Care for both grooming and for boarding and can't recommend the service I have received highly enough. My elderly (and quite smelly) dog always comes away looking and smelling lovely from his grooming sessions. When I needed to use Jon and Clara's boarding services they took great care to match their carer with my dog's needs and I wouldn't hesitate to use this service again. I can't think of one thing I would change about the experiences we have had over the last two years and I would highly recommend MBFC to any dog owner.

Highly recommend , Jon has found some brilliant carers to have our dogs when we are away , they have always been well looked after and have had a great time , Put your trust in Jon if you are looking for dog boarding when you are away , he will match you and your dogs to the right people. Always professional with booking the dogs in to meeting the carers and sending out invoices. We have used "My best friend dog care" 3 times now and will continue to do so as we are very happy with the service provided. Many Thanks

Highly recommend My Best Friend Dog Care. Left our 9 month old Golden Retriever with Jon and Clara for the day and I couldn't be happier. Penny was well looked after and came home one happy pup. Lovely large garden so they can roam around freely, long walks and the online booking system is great.

We have always used My Best Friend for all of our dogs and have never once been disappointed in the care and service they have demonstrated. Jon and his team are fantastic, trustworthy and very reliable. They go above and beyond just caring for our dogs. All of our dogs have been extremely well cared for, loved and fussed over just like we have never been away. If you are considering going away and are worried about leaving behind your dog I would without shadow of a doubt always reccomend My Best Friend. You will not be disappointed and we would not use anyone else.

Absolutely fantastic team that look after pixie. So nervous 4 years ago when I first took her but now she loves going there. They are all so friendly and always smiling. Highly recommend this place.

I have been using My Best friend for about 5 years, they always go above and beyond and are great with my two spaniels

My puppy loves going to Jon and Clara twice a week, I think it's the highlight for him! He jumps out of the car, tail wagging, and pulls all the way to the gate! He has the opportunity to go for walks off lead as well as access to the garden all day and a nice sleeping area if he is tired (which is hardly ever!) I would highly recommend this service!

Poppy was welcomed by Jon And went off happily with him . I received a text that evening to say she was settled and doing fine. When we picked her up after four days she was happy and tailwagging. I would have no hesitation in recommending my best friend to anyone And would definitely leave poppy again

Visited MBF last week for a much needed nail clipping for Henny (GSP). Really impressed with the lockdown safety measures in place with a one in-one out system and a sanitiser station outside, and inside with a defined area for customers behind a series of screens, whilst everyone was fully masked. It’s clear that Clara, Jon, Lynsey & Molly are all doing their best to look after our pooches and their owners during the pandemic. We look forward coming back, hopefully in better times, but for now this will have to do! Well done gang, keep up the good work.

Friendly, reliable and our dog clearly loves to stay as he always runs towards the door to greet the staff! They also send pictures so you know your dog is well and having fun. Would definitely recommend.

Would highly recommend, very clean. No smell or distressed barking as with other places. They even send photos so you are assured you dog is well & happy. Very friendly staff.

I cannot speak highly enough about The Retreat. We had never boarded our dogs before and were apprehensive about doing so. However when we arrived at The Retreat we were immediately put at ease. Ally and Rob met us and showed us around the impressive set up they have there. Lovely glass fronted kennels with underfloor heating, a raised bed plus access for them to a little covered outdoor area. They also have an outdoor enclosed play area with an agility course which the dogs can be taken to run around in. On top of all that the dogs get walked a couple of times a day around the lakes at the water park. The entire facility is immaculately clean and professionally run. When we collected our dogs after boarding them there for 4 nights they were in excellent condition and in no way desperate to leave. We were so impressed that we now use them for day care and despite our dogs being a clingy pair, they always happily trot off to their kennel, tails a wagging. Ally and Rob also look after anxious owners by emailing pictures of the dogs out on walks whilst you are away so that you can see that they are happy. I thoroughly recommend The Retreat for either boarding or day care.

Dixie,and Daisy were obviously very happy spending Xmas at The Retreat, they came home looking great with none of that kennel smell. Highly recommend this lovely family run kennels.

A quick review to say thank you to Alli & Rob for taking such good care of our dog. Our previous kennels closed due to the pandemic and The Retreat couldn't have taken better care of us and the dog in transitioning to a new place. We particularly like the supervised play with selected other dogs. Angus made a new friend in Sam! We will be back. The Retreat is a family run business and their commitment to the animals is clear in everything they do. Thanks again.

I would have no hesitation in recommending The Retreat! They do a wonderful job of grooming my Westie and she is always so happy to go in to see Rob & Ally. The day care service is brilliant and whilst I’ve not yet used the facility for boarding, I definitely will in the future. It’s just a shame they don’t take humans! Maddie particularly likes the dog playground and of course the fabulous walks around the lakes. Great value, professional service and a friendly welcome.

Could not fault this place, lovely well kept and friendly staff. My dog enjoyed her stay, she was able to socialise with other dogs during the day and settled very well on her first visit. Will be using them again and would highly recommend. Sorry I posted the review using my sons account in error! 🤦‍♀️ …

Fantastic customer service and excellent rapport with the dogs. I took my dog for a very overdue groom today. We were both very anxious due to previous bad experiences with groomers but were very quickly reassured we were in good hands. A hard job well done, we both could not be happier and I will be recommending The Retreat to everyone.

They were absolutely brilliant with our dog. They cleaned him up clipped his nails. He didn't want to come home! Brilliant service. Will definitely use again.

What a lifesaver!! Having been cancelled on last minute on Christmas Eve by our sitter, we had to hunt for a space for our dogs Kevin and Maggie. The Retreat kindly took them on, and I am so pleased they did as they were so well looked after. Both came back tired and happy, having stayed in heated and modern kennels. Kevin is a very nervous dog and they made extra effort to ensure he was comfortable and well looked after. A very stressful situation made much easier by these guys, thank so much!
