Pet Sitting in Mousehole

Ruth and Denis run an excellent kennels - a great 5 star hotel break for Ella, our beautiful Bearded Collie, when the occasion arises. Ella arrives with delight, tail wagging, as we drive up to the main gate - and when we come to collect her she's happy because she loves us but it's obvious that she's had a really good time in her holiday home. It's important to know that there is a place such as Joppa which you can trust to look after your dog.

Booked my dog here whilst we went away, no problems, dog seemed happy. Very good overall 😀 …

Our two dogs had a brilliant time, from when we dropped the off to collection we felt safe in the knowledge that they'll be looked after. Our eldest hadn't been kennelled for over 8 years so we were a little worried he might not settle, but he had company so we didn't feel to bad. The owners made us feel welcome, easy to find. Only constructive criticism I would say is to have a buzzer on the gate and let cars in rather than park in the gate area, luckily no one was behind us as no room to park 2 cars.. Plus lane is narrow. The main thing is our dogs came back fur and healthy so all good. We'll use them again if we need to...

Milo has loved his week stay here he's had so much space to run and just be left to wander and do his own things (including being a bit naughty not coming back in from his field run) Thabks so much and we will see you again in 6 weeks 😀 …

Our cat has just returned from Joppa after an 11 day stay, happy, healthy and settled. We use this cattery every time we go away, as we know Selphie will be well looked after and come home just as happy and loving as she was when we left her. Thank you to you all for caring for her when we go away.

Handy dog kennel near lands end airport, my dog was on for two weeks, came out nice and relaxed, no issues. Good value for money. Kennels is down some very small country roads so definitely one for the sat nav

Really disappointed with the kennel! I have called during the week to secure a dog daycare for when we are in the area in a couple of days (bank holiday in August). They confirmed it will be all fine and to give a ring a day before to confirm the drop off time, which I did only to find out they’ve sold all spaces to other travellers for longer terms ie. 2-3 nights etc rather than a day daycare so don’t have spaces for a day as it’s less efficient for them… I mean, how unprofessional is this? We were left without any dog care, as none of the kennels got last minute spaces. Really disappointed since we came all the way from London…

Really friendly owners who obviously really care about dogs. My two Jack Russell's were very happy here. The owner lives on site with their own two dogs who are there to greet you.Best kennels I've used.

All my dogs have boarded there, lovely owners, lovely staff, but!!!...most importantly, my dogs love it.

I'm so sorry, but I was extremely upset at the condition of my pet when I collected him after staying at Joppa for just one a week, where he immediately yelped in pain, as he tried to urinate, in full view of the proprietor.. Who was quite dismissive of his obvious discomfort. According to my vet, he had suffered a trauma to the eye & stomach, most likely from slipping on thier slippery kennel floor He had no apitight, could not go to the toilet, was dehydrated and had obviously lost a large amount of weight.. It took over 10 days for him to fully recover.

Lovely spacious kennel, with secure playing field, all tucked away in fields. Boarded both my dogs for 1st time. Was worried as 1 of them isn't easy to handle, but all was absolutely fine. Sam is just the kind of person I was hoping for Would be happy to leave them at westwind any time 😊 …

Stayed here for the first time earlier this year and will always use Sam from now on. I don't think my dog wanted to leave! Highly recommended.

Sam's great, and our young dog Mabel had a brilliant time there, playing with her new friends. Sam sent us a couple of videos whilst we were on holiday (which was an added bonus, and really thoughtful of Sam) and we couldn't believe how much Mabel was enjoying herself (the traitor) - you could see she was having an absolute blast. This really put our minds at rest, so we could relax and enjoy our holiday. And the fact that it's a small kennels is good too - Sam has the time to play with and thoroughly exercise all the dogs in her care, and the dogs get to make good friends, and to spend plenty of time playing with them. So we've found Mabel's permanent holiday hotel, and we're very pleased. Thanks, Sam.

I have 2 border collies one of whom can be highly reactive with people he doesn't know and I didn't think we'd ever be able to use kennels. And then a well respected dog trainer recommended that I try Sam at West Winds. From the first time I met her I knew that Sam was right for my dogs. Three years on & I wouldn't go anywhere else. My dogs love her, they leap out of the car when we get there (they know where the toys are kept!!), the kennels are spacious & clean, the dogs are well exercised and most importantly for me they are understood, well looked after & all of their needs are met. I would recommend Sam and her kennels to anyone who wants peace of mind when they can't look after their dogs themselves.

We have been using Westwinds Boarding Kennels now for 5 years and highly recommend Sam and her family and definitely would not go anywhere else. The kennels are a great size and always spotless. Our rescue boy Bob has a few behavior issues and Sam and her mum are fantastic with him and in return he enjoys his stays and we have peace of mind. Thank you so much we really do appreciate your kindness and professional approach to our boy.

We have used Westwinds Boarding Kennels on several occasions over the past few years and I cannot recommend enough the care and commitment that Sam gives to all her guests. They are treated with the same care and love that she gives to her own pets I have left 2 of our beloved pets with Sam and each time they have boarded together and been thouroughly exercised with several walks per day on the beach and around the lanes, my eldest collie Benji has separation issues but has taken to Sam and will follow her around as if she were his owner, I secretly think if he could he would let her " adopt" him permanently. We last used Westwinds in 2016 for a long stay in late March which required a late drop off and late collection all done without any additional charges Basically Sam loves your pets and your pets will love Sam. If my wife will entrust Sam with our babies then that is recommendation enough.

Only boarding I would use for my boy, Sam & her family are fantastic. Always very accommodating with drop off collection times. Kennels are cosy & well maintained. Our boy has many special needs ie. Diet, medication etc, so goes to Sam with a list of instructions!! This has never been a problem. We have a very nervous dog, who is always happy to stay at Westwinds, so this speaks for itself. On collection we can tell he has enjoyed his holiday too. Highly recommended

We have taken our two GSDs there several times, including one when my boy was six weeks into recovery from cruciate implant surgery. Sam knew exactly what to do to look after him, in fact our vet confirmed our confidence in her knowledge & care. They are happy & relaxed in her company, greeting her with joy when they see her. There are very few people I would trust with our two, Sam is one of them.

Our Munsterlander, Charlie, has stayed at Westwinds many times. He’s been in several different kennels in various parts of the country in his relatively long life (nearly fourteen now). He's a sociable but sensitive soul, and Westwinds is one of the very few boarding kennels where he’s been consistently happy to go: he always runs up to Sam with his tail wagging when we drop him off! We never leave him anywhere else now. During the time Charlie has boarded regularly with Sam he’s had both knees replaced, and though these were fine for the first three or four years, more recently he’s got a lot slower and his kidneys are now failing: he’s on quite a complex drug regime and a special diet, and Sam has taken this in her stride. We’re always very happy to leave Charlie in Sam’s care, and as I said he’s always pleased to see her. My wife and I would heartily recommend Westwinds without any reservations, and so would Charlie!

Sadly I cannot recommend Westwinds. When talking to Sam when I booked I was confident that our 2 dogs (one a 5 month old puppy) would be well looked after. When we contacted to arrange collection Sam had changed the rules and we had to leave them an extra night. Not collecting them on the saturday pm would have been fine IF she had said that in the beginning. They were smelly. Old dog had been overfed despite instructions on quantity, pup had gummy eyes despite warning that she may need eye drops. Will not return.
