Susan looked after our dog Woody for the day while we attended a wedding, and she was absolutely wonderful. Her location was perfect, and her facilities were ideal for Woody. We met Susan and her dogs beforehand to make sure everyone got along, and they did perfectly. Susan was confident, kind, and always easy to contact. Woody was clearly very well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommended!

Puppy's first stay away from home

It was the first time leaving our 8 month old puppy but the whole experience was great. Our carers Steve and Lucy were fantastic and we can highly recommend them. Our dog had a fabulous few days and we would definitely book Steve and Lucy again.

Peace of mind

We both feel Archie our 3 year old Border Collie is well cared for, we felt confident in the care he received whilst in Ian&Julies care. They obviously love what they do caring for dogs and it is reassuring to know that your dog is made to feel welcome and now enjoys going back again.

Peace of Mind .

Process was easy to follow . Supported in finding a carer that suited my doggy .
Good correspondence.
Caroline was a fabulous carer . She took great care of Nigel . She was happy to oblige with Nigel's little issues such as stealing food and rummaging in handbags , though he did manage to steal a bagel 😆 .
She kept in touch with photos and messages .
I knew he was in good hands .
Nigel bonded well with her daughter's and even slept with her dog Ralph when Nigel took a liking to his bed .(Sorry Ralph )
I felt peace if mind being away knowing he was in good care .

We were so happy with the service! This was the first time I’d ever left my dog overnight, and everything went perfectly. Joy and Graham are absolutely lovely, and they took such great care of my dog. I’d definitely use their service again and highly recommend them!
