Gill and Peter were excellent pet sitters and cared for Whiskey really well. We have come back to a clean tidy home and a happy dog. Thanks both. Would recommend.

Animal loving, experienced housesitter who is calm, practical and reliable
Mary looked after Shiva and Kali for a week and was everything we hoped for; plus, the cats loved her! She was helpful before she came, communicative while we were away and left the house (and cats) spotless for our return. Our two Burmese are demanding customers and report that they would love to see Mary again. Just purrfect; thank you Mary.

Qualified vet nurse, with farming background looking UK and international sits.
Jill has house and pet sat for me again this year. I felt comfortable having her look after my animals especially knowing that she had experience looking after sick animals. She sent me regular pics and videos and I felt happy and confident that they were looked after. Thank you so much.

Semi-retired professional Great with animals Trustworthy Respectful Non-smoker
Bridget (Bee) sat for us for three weeks this summer. This was the second time she had looked after Maggie and our house, and we have asked her back again this Christmas, which I think says it all! Bee is warm, friendly, kind and considerate. Her first priority is always to make Maggie happy and feel loved, and we have come home to a very content dog, who I think is missing Bee a lot! Bee sent us photos or videos on a daily basis while we were away, telling us what she'd been up to with Maggie. She looked after our garden beautifully - we came back to a perfect lawn and a well-watered, happy garden. It was wonderful to know that she was enjoying the house and garden while we were away, and she left everything spotless. We couldn't recommend Bee enough and fingers crossed she can sit for us again! x

Reliable, trustworthy, ANIMAL Loving, practical, non smoking couple
Julie and Nick have sat for us before and will be again later in the year. As ever they are very efficient and nothing seems to phase them at all. Our boys love them to bits in fact we don't get a look in when they are around so I am pretty sure their pet care is second to none. Both Julie and Nick are lovely people, friendly and chatty and we would wholeheartedly recommend them

Cat cuddles at the ready
Helen was amazing. So organised and with brilliant communication. One of our cats unexpectedly had an injury so he needed medication and a visit to the vets for a check up, Helen did this for us with out any issues and was informing us every day of how both cats were. Helen left the house in perfect condition to come home to and the cats looked happy and healthy! Would definitely love to have Helen sit for us again - highly recommend!

Rattery, United Kingdom
Animal-loving family of 3 looking to explore the UK and meet lots of lovely pets
Thanks to Zeewoi for introducing us to the most wonderful family! Emily and Elliot are absolutely lovely, kind and communicative, and we couldn't have asked for a more suitable match for our home and Oggi. Nothing flummoxed them, and they were incredibly accommodating with our timings and house. Our baby boy clearly adored them and has welcomed them as part of the pack, and I hope they will be back for another sit if they'd like some more Oggi cuddles! They are also very experienced house and pet sitters and seem to not be phased by anything or any pet, so I think any home or pet owner could be absolutely confident leaving their homes in their care.

Trusted and reliable to leave your pets and home in safe hands
Geraldine and Tony were amazing, I kept in touch with them before they come to dog sit. Our whole lives had changed in April when my partner had died suddenly. But this holiday was a family one when we celebrated my parents 60th wedding anniversary.. so it was important that I went. Geraldine and Tony did an amazing job with my two dogs ..my two dogs missed them when they left., enough said💕
Amanda was the perfect housesitter and pet sitter for our cat. She is organized and communicative, and took care to ensure she understood the guidelines for taking care of our home and our cat. She left our house in perfect condition and we returned home to one happy kitty! Would not hesitate to have Amanda housesit for us again or recommend her to others looking for a sitter.
Kelly was flawless, she was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. She was over communicating with pictures and updates. We were at total peace knowing Kelly was overseeing Leo and Bella. Kelly connected with our dogs perfectly. We loved how Kelly daily took our dogs for walks and even an extended hikes. She has our full and complete recommendation.
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Not only did our pets enjoy meeting Kelly and Christopher, my husband and I enjoyed meeting them as well! They are personable and kind, organized and communicative, and most of all excellent pet sitters. Kelly and Chris are attentive housesitters. They went out of their way to connect with our dogs, especially Smitty, our rescue. The dogs were walked, brushed, and played with throughout the weeklong sit. They sent pics of how our fur babies were doing and truly seemed to enjoy their time with them. The peace of mind that comes with great house sitters who care for your precious pups and the home you love is priceless. Thank you once again, Kelly and Christopher! We hope to see you again!
Anna and Alan were absolutely brilliant. This was my first time using a sitter for our pup and from the start Anna was reassuring and put me at complete ease. They sent regular pictures while we were away and were incredibly easy to communicate with. I'd highly recommend Anna and Alan for any pet sitting needs. Robyn
Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!
Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her. Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging. She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away. And the biggest compliment I can give: when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot). I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.
Judith was one of the most considerate, trustworthy sitters we've ever had. We had to leave in a rush for a family emergency and really didn't have time to prepare the house as we usually do, but Judith took all in stride, leaving the apartment spotless. She sent photos of Baby Boo and Janet on arrival, putting us immediately at ease because it was so obvious the cats were completely comfortable, zero stress, allowing us to relax that they were in such good hands. She sent photos and video every day, which delighted us, confident that they were getting next level care. Judith would take care of anyone's home and pets with as much care as she did at ours, and we highly recommend. Hope she can come back!!
Milly was a lovely house sitter and I’d highly recommend her. She submitted a really great application and after a FaceTime chat it was an easy decision to choose her for our sit. She is the youngest sitter we’ve chosen but she has a maturity beyond her years and it was clear she had so much experience with animals that we felt confident leaving her in charge of our menagerie. Olive our young Pom has never been left with a sitter before so we were a little worried about how she would be but Milly was so patient, gentle and kind that she quickly won Olive over. So much so, on the morning Milly was leaving ,Olive would only let Milly put her harness on her before going for a walk. All the animals were perfectly cared for while we were away and we returned home to happy pets and a tidy house. Milly’s communication from our first contact and right through the sit was great and she even sent a lovely video of the dogs having fun on their walk. I’d have Milly back to housesit for us again anytime.
Shella was a great house sitter and I had no concerns leaving her in charge when we went away. She kept in touch while we were away and we returned to happy pets and a tidy house. What more can you ask?! I would be more than happy to welcome Shella back to house sit another time.

Mr Bob my 8 month old Labrador goes to Oh My Dog every week when I’m working. Juliet and Eugene have created an amazing facility for the dogs where they play and socialise. Juliet has helped me so much with advice along the way with Bob. I love the photos and videos I get sent of him during the day. He loves Jules he can’t wait to get in her van when he sees her 🖤🐾 I would highly recommend their business for your dog. I totally trust Bob in their care 💯
My 2 young rescues absolutely love it here! Juliet and Eugene obviously genuinely care for all the dogs and know them really well. I always feel like I'm leaving them in safe hands. They come back exhausted from adventures in the woods and playing on the equipment which is great! Highly recommended.
My puppy Teddy went to Oh My Dog for daycare while we were camping near by. Juliet was kind, accommodating and supportive throughout and Teddy had a lovely time. I highly recommend oh my dog, especially for those who aren't a fan of putting their pups in kennels!
Highly recommended Oh My Dog. Juliet and Eugene are lovely people who definitely care about the health and overall wellbeing of your dog when under their care. They have been very accommodating with our Great Dane who has been going now for several months and thoroughly enjoys it, and we are content knowing that she is well looked after. Juliet and Eugene provide updates, videos and photos during the day and are upfront and honest if any issues arise. Happy dog and owners 😊.
Juliet and Eugene have created something truly special with Oh My Dog. We have a sweet and very nervous rescue, plus we are first-time dog owners with our own confidence issues, none of which were judged or dismissed by these wonderful kind folk. Juliet made me and our girl Alice feel safe and welcome immediately, and went above and beyond to help us acclimate. We visited multiple times, increasing her time in the facility with each session based on observing her behaviour and body language. I learnt so much! While it is still unclear if Alice will ever be fully joyful to enter a roomful of dogs, her confidence and ours have been positively impacted by this kind of safe socialisation in ways that have changed our lives. Our trust in each other has grown, our bond is stronger and this has opened so many doors for her quality of life to increase. Thanks to her 'exposure therapy' with Juliet and all the other gorgeous pups at Oh My Dog, Alice has now made multiple new dog friends locally, and is enjoying off-lead time at a dog-friendly beach. I don't think these things could have happened without Oh My Dog, and Juliet and Eugene's wisdom, generosity and kindness.
Absolutely cracking service, friendly staff and a great environment for the dogs; our little sprocker spaniel Tilly had a fab day here playing with the other dogs and the staff. She was worn out! We received lots of updates and videos which helped settle our minds whilst our pup was “in nursery” lol thank you so much for fitting us in!
We are so fortunate to have found Juliet and Eugene at Oh My Dog, they are the most kind, caring, gentle and lovely humans and have an amazing passion for dogs which was apparent from the moment we met them. Our whippet has been spending one day a week with them for over a year and is always very happy to go in when we drop him off. He has such a good time enjoying lots of play, socialisation, an afternoon snooze and enjoys lovely woodland walks each day where he can let off some steam with zoomies. Juliet and Eugene are so knowledgable about dogs and their behaviour and personalities and we completely trust them with our dog who means the world to us! They send us pictures and video updates which always brightens a day at work. Thank you J&E for the excellent, professional service you provide :-)
Juliet and Eugene are absolute superstars - we are so lucky to have met them. They are lifesavers and we feel so relieved to know that our dog is having the best care during the day! They have great knowledge and understanding with our dog, as well as how all the pack interact. They work hard to find amazing walks and our dog always seems relaxed/ exhausted at the end of the day! I couldn't be more grateful and wholeheartedly recommend them! Thank you!
Luna absolutely loves coming to Oh My Dog - her excitement is palpable as we draw near. She would definitely go every day if she could. Juliet and Eugene create a kind and fun atmosphere. You can tell that they really understand and love dogs🐶🐶🐶 …
We can't recommend "Oh my Dog" enough. We were looking for a place where we could drop our dog off whilst we explored the area looking for our new house. We took our little Jack Russell to see Juliet and Eugene initially for half a day to see how she would get on. She had a great time interacting all the other dogs and we booked her in for several more sessions. Both Juliet and Eugene adore dogs and are patient and caring. It's a shame we are moving to a different area as we're going to find it hard to find a place as good as theirs. Thank you to both of you.
First time in ages putting our Henry in kennels, I did say he was a lady's dog, and a bit anxious, a bit unsure about men too, but apparently he became best of pals with Kenny.. So well looked after and played and walked at least 3 times a day. Can't thank you enough for your love and care of our big black fur baby.
Our go to kennels for when our cat needs to be looked after. New owners Kenny and Sabrina, both really friendly and helpful, and good price, £10 day if you provide your own food. Cats all have individual large pens with scrstchposts and other items, with heated sleeping compartment and music is played during the day to help keep them chilled!!
Wow what can I say, I was so so nervous to put milson in the kennels for the first time as he’s a rescue dog and very anxious especially towards men. But serina and kenny really are fantastic at what they do! I couldn’t recommend this place enough.. thank you both for keeping my fluffy pooch safe and happy 🫶🏻 p.s he can’t wait to his next holiday!
I was a little worried about leaving my dog at the kennels she's never been before, but I didn't need too. When I picked her up the children were telling me how quickly she runs after the ball and super fast. Telling me she's been happy and has been very good all week. Which made it feel like home from home. Only one downfall was that they were too busy when I booked her in for me to look around. Will definitely use it again
My dog Barney stayed at Blackdown over the Christmas Period. Really great service and will definitely use you again in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of him. Highly recommended!
A lovely family run kennels. It was clear just how much Ken cared about my treasured dog. When I picked my labrador up it was clear he was a happy dog and also very clean too. Thank you Blackdown Ring- we look forward to booking again.
New couple have taken over the place and, which only being there 3 months, have made a massive impact on how the place is perceived. Lovely couple with a strong passion and a vision for the future of Blackdown Rings Kennels and Cattery. Will use them in the future! For our two dogs (one is reactive)
Unbelievably poor experience, would recommend turning and running for the hills. I called ahead on the day that I was due to drop my lab off at the kennels for the weekend and asked whether when I dropped her off, I could see where she would be staying/ sleeping which is a very reasonable thing to ask (and I think most owners would want to see this too), the owners responded rudely saying that they were too busy, that no staff wanted to take customers on tours, and that last time they let someone in they took up way too much of their time. I said that I fully appreciated how busy they were and promised to take up 5 mins of their time at the most to just see the kennels make sure I’m happy leaving my dog there and leave. After about 5 mins of back and forth on the phone I was told that I should find somewhere else to take my dog. I found it completely astounding that they find it so unreasonable that owners would like to see where their pets will be staying and think it’s a massive red flag that the condition of the kennels are very bad, or that there’s something dodgy going on there. Would certainly recommend that people look elsewhere. Will also be reporting to the local authority that inspections should be done.
I wanted to board my cats here and made enquiries, and I was delighted to hear they had availability. However, when I requested (as per their website) an appointment to view the facilities, I was advised that this was not possible as they were too busy at this time of year to show anyone the cattery. I was told that if I was booking my cats in, I would need to hand them over at the gate and would collect them at the gate upon collection. I did query this because as a pet owner, I want to see who and where I am entrusting them. I was surprised that this was considered an unreasonable request. I therefore can not review the cattery on its facilities, as I haven't been permitted to see them and the website itself shows no photos of the cattery. My review is based on the facts presented. I won't be booking my cats into premises that I haven't checked for suitability.
Refused to allow us to see the cattery premises. Something seriously dodgy going on here. We thought we would be shown around on arrival but was met at the gate. We had to leave them because too late to find somewhere else but worried all week about how my cats were. On the way to home to collect them we phoned ahead & asked to see where they had stayed. Was refused & again we were just met at the gate. Will never use these people again.
Taras has been boarding at Byrer Down for many years. This is a home from home for him. He's a 10 year old Samoyed and he always comes back to me Happy, clean and well. Great find. I recommend it to others. Good people who love animals 🐶💜 …
Been using Byter down kennels for a few years. Can honestly say I wouldn't be happier leaving our dog Hugo anywhere else. Patrick and his wife are always so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They care for the dogs with so much love and respect. Our dog, as happy as he is to come home never looks unkept or unhappy. Would definitely recommend Byter down. Thank you for everything.
Patrick and Clare have taken really good care of our dog Pip. I got to see where she was staying, good, clean and secure area with walking pens. She looks great on collection. Just want to say a big thank you and we will be undoubtedly booking with you again in the future.
My two dogs had a lovely week and where very happy and well cared for. Such a nice feeling when your away knowing they are being cared for . Thank you so much
So nice to see all the good reviews of Byter Downe, and each of them well deserved. We have used the Cooper’s for years and my wife’s father before us. Patrick and Clare have taken great care of each of our dogs and everyone of them always were happy to see them and the kennels. Can’t give them higher praise, well done to you all.
Very friendly, accommodating and well priced. They remember my dogs name and his character. It feels like leaving him with friends, when we drop him off he's keen to go and when we pick him up he's less keen to come home.
Our two dogs have been to Byter Down over the past few years and they always go there excited and looking well and happy on collection. We have a Vizsla and she is prone to dropping weight but never does during her stay here. Even after two weeks. Highly recommend ⭐️
My late dog Bilbo always came to this kennels when we had to go away for a weekend or few days. Sadly he died 4 years ago but this kennels was his favourite Bilbo used to run to the lady when we dropped him of. We will use this kennels again when we are up that way with our other little dog. Thank you so much
After viewing kennels we booked our Border Collie Meg in and after picking her up today after just over 2 weeks stay we were very happy to see her fit and healthy and obviously well cared for. Will definitely book again if we need to. Thanks for looking after her
I have complete trust in Patrick and Clare. They run the kennels in a friendly and very professional manner. The dogs are always happy, never bored and very well cared for. Super kennels, always clean, great atmosphere and always time to chat! I thoroughly recommend Byter Down Kennels for any type of dog.
