I really enjoyed taking care of Pearl and Pandy. They are adorable cats and very easy to take care of. Beatrice's place in Greystones is perfect to relax and enjoy nice walks along the beach and cliffs. Thank you, Beatrice!
We spent a lovely weekend looking after Archie. He was so affectionate and relaxed with us. Emily made us feel welcome in her clean and tidy house in this beautiful village with lots of great eateries and walks.
We had such a fun time at Jackie’s place! We were welcomed very warmly and everything was explained very well. The house is gorgeous, just 2 minutes from the beach and surrounded by hiking trails. The dogs were so cute 🥰, adorable and listened very well. Chico just followed us every where from the minute we entered the house. Lily loves to get on two legs and give you a hug and kisses 😘 Molly is very calm and loves to cuddle with her beautiful white and soft hair :) The cats are very gentle and loving, the just love to get brushed and cuddled. Foggy the 🐢 was hibernating when we were there so we didn’t see him a lot but he seemed like a very nice turtle :p Thank you for everything, we really loved our sit and recommend it to anyone who loves dogs, cats and sunny days!
We would absolutely do this sit again! Rachel and Graham picked at the airport when we landed and made us a delicious home cooked meal. We got a thorough tour of the home and property and a run down of all the pets' needs before we went to bed. Bingo, Tablet, and Puzzle were such a blast! Each one has her own personality, and all are very well-behaved. It's clear they've been properly trained (Puzzle & Tablet both recall well and "heel" when out walking. Like all hounds, Bingo has her own mind, but comes to "biscuit" and "hungry" without a problem. :) We loved snuggling with them on the couch in the evenings and taking long walks around the property and extensive trail system (adjacent). Lucky and Christopher warmed up to us and allowed us to hand feed treats and give chin scratches. The 1700's house is truly lovely and unique. Even in winter, the house was warm and had a cozy, lived-in feel. Our room was spacious and the en suite bath luxurious with its rain shower-head and heated towel rack! The bed was super comfortable, and we loved the feather duvet. The wifi was strong everywhere (which made remote working easy). We met a few workers and the postal delivery during our stay who were happy to give us restaurant suggestions. Being from abroad, we were especially grateful for the use of a vehicle which we used to park at a nearby tram stop and go into central Edinburgh. Ratho village doesn't have many services, but the Bridge Inn restaurant, café, pharmacy, and small grocery had all the essentials we could need, and their staff were very friendly to us! This was a treat of a house/pet sit and we're so glad Rachel and Graham entrusted their home and critter care to us!
First part of a two part sit, going great so far though ❤️

Hayley has been walking my dogs for 6 years now and she feels more like family to me. I trust her (and her family) completely with Roddy and Ghillie and they adore her. Whenever her car pulls into the street they know it is Hayley and are beyond excited to see her. They now stay with Hayley and her family overnight, twice per week, due to my work commitments and she sends me lovely photos showing how happy and relaxed they are. Hayley is very accommodating if I have to change at short notice, due to work commitments. I can't recommend Happy Pooch highly enough.
I have used Happy pooch for the last 6 years Hayley and Gav have been absolutely fantastic within my little dogs they treat him Like part of their family, they are there at short notice for me when things change and I need a dog sitter, I always leave Barney ( the dog ) with happy pooch when I go on holiday as I know he will be very well looked after. I can’t recommend happy pooch high enough
I was lucky to have Haley recommended to me by a friend approximately 6 years ago . I cannot speak highly enough of Haley’s kindness and absolute dedication to the dogs in her care . The whole family care so much about the animals . I am grateful to them all as it was a difficult time in my life . I am so pleased to say I consider them wonderful friends . And recommend Haley as safe and secure hands for your precious pet .
Excellent dog walker, very reliable and trustworthy. Our dog loves going out with Hayley,. Also used home boarding which was just as good. Couldn't recommend enough.
What an outstanding service. You get value for money and made feel really welcome. This is my second time using Happy Pooch and will certainly not be my last. Both my dogs love going there and I am put at ease by the respect and deication the team show. Thank you guys you are highly recommended
Friendly my girl loves staying with Haley, great peace of mind when go on holiday she is being well looked after.
Very reliable dog boarding and dog walking service. I had to use them for my dog as I had to travel on emergency. Came back to a very happy and well walked dog!
Great family run business. Lovely welcoming home with lots of space for the dogs. Would 100% recommend
thanks
Best dog minder ever
Home from home dog boarding - couldn't ask for better care for your loved dogs! Our lab has stayed at Diamond dogs pet hotel several times over the past year & he always comes home relaxed and happy. Happy return customer & would highly recommend! 👌 …
I would highly recommend Donna and Anthony to look after your dog. They have looked after my cocker spaniel Roxy a few times and I would not hesitate to put her back again. I received daily photograph and update on how Roxy was and could see she was being treated exactly how I would treat her. I always recommend Donna as she has a 5 star dog hotel xx
A huge big thanks to Donna and Anthony for looking after my fur boy! Frankie loved his stay and has came back even more affectionate than ever ( he must have been clapped all day long). We were sent regular updates which put our mind at rest. I will definitely be using Diamond Dogz in the future. .Fabulous service.
Think I had a different experience from a lot of other people there was no meet and greet I was met at the door by a man I booked well in advance Donna gave me a date which was suitable to both of us this was to be a trial sleepover before I went for a 2 week booking. On arriving with Alfie my dog .I was met at the door by a man I assumed Donna was in another room he took Alfie. Only question I got asked was does he take tablets Didn’t get any updates or photos I had to text and ask how he was told he was ok .Alfie has been very distressed since getting him back to the point I can’t leave him he was a very content dog he was quite happy going for a snooze while I was out now he pines like a wolf (pug) also found out that Donna had actually left my dog to go to a Celtic football match I would have preferred it she had cancelled to arrange another suitable time also was told he was quite happy going out back for his toilet which Alfie does not .
The very best care you could possibly wish for. Both Anthony and Donna are genuine dog lovers and the dogs know it. I'm a devoted dog owner and absolutely hate leaving Biba and I honestly don't think we'd ever get away on holiday if it wasn't for this home from home Pet Hotel. Fab...u...Lous!!!
Hi we have 2 Bernese mountain dogs that are spoiled rotten and I did a meet and greet with Donna from diamond dogs our 2 girls loved her so I didn't hesitate to book our girls for an overnight stay to begin with they loved it and have stayed several times since p.s. keep up the good work Donna
Fantastic friendly service! Makes it feel like your dog is staying with family. Have now used the service a few times and already booked in for the next one.
Delighted with Diamond Dogs Donna totally spoiled my Pointer over Xmas would have no hesitation in taking my boy back 😁😁 …
Very convenient for Clackmannanshire, not expensive easy to find and owner is excellent. Thoroughly recommended.
Donna is amazing with dogs .Great service.highly recommended.
The company as a whole have helped us immensely since we got our puppy, Milo, in April. Initially a home visit from Scott to help start us on our training journey, his gentle nature was what made me then book onto puppy school. We then settled Milo in for puppy day care which has been such a help on days where I need peace of mind that Milo is cared for when my day is full on. Milo adores puppy care, he drags me from the car to the entrance! Recently I have attended Scott's group walks as well which has been such a help. The group isn't just about walking, it provides me with social interaction with other dog owners, as well as personalised training tips for my own puppy. Scott spent a lot of time with Milo which has greatly improved certain things I was struggling with. His approach with dog training is incredible, always about finding the positives and helping the dog to achieve rather than setting them up to fail. Cannot recommend Stirling Dog Behavioural Centre enough.
We’ve been taking our four legged companion to SDBC for a while now. The weekend classes are a god send for new and existing pet owners. Having never had a dog before we felt very welcome and comfortable with such an open, understanding and incredibly knowledgeable team. We also make use of the day care centre which our pup loves going to! The dogs are well looked after and paired up based on a number of factors. So we are always safe in the knowledge that pup is having the best time with his other doggo pals! Keep an eye on Facebook for their cameo appearance! The shop has an array of delicious deli treats for our boy. Everything is great quality and well priced! Beats all the high street chains by a long shot in my opinion! Finally, Scott’s walking groups are a great way to work with a skilled trainer on how to get the best from your dog whilst walking in loads of different situations. Scott is incredibly patient, even with our overly excited spaniel! It’s a great way to get practical hands on experience while enjoying a nice walk with great company (the humans are ok too 😜) Can’t stress enough how much we appreciate everything the team do and would encourage anyone to come along and meet them! 🐶
Highly recommend Scott and SDBC. Went along to Scott’s teenage tear away class and came away wishing we’d used SDBC puppy classes. Attended individual recall session with Scott, great improvement with this and lots more confident letting our dog off lead. More recently had a consultation at home with Scott then a walk around our local park. Scott listens to everything and understood the difficulties we were experiencing with barking at and passing other dogs. He offered great advice and showed handling skills putting me at ease and helping rebuild my confidence and my dog’s. Definitely been an improvement all round while out on walks. These are enjoyable again with very few occasions of barking however thanks to Scott I’m now more comfortable handling these situations. 😊🐶😊
I've been taking Custard on adventure walks and walking with other dogs with Scott. The group sessions have been amazing for Custard! Not just for his socialisation, but for his little tics which I've not seen, that Scott has pointed out; something that isn't easy to notice by yourself. Custard can now walk with other dogs, no matter the breed without pulling constantly. I highly recommend anyone who needs help with walking with others or even trying new areas is extremely worth while. A couple of pictures and an after one, once the boy got back home from the great social! Thanks Scott, all I ask is more walks with lots of water please 😂.
I’ve been going to training and playgroup with my Puppy since November and SDBC is now part of our life and have made some lovely new friends. Everyone at the centre is amazing and have really helped my wee Teddy. We recently went on the puppy walks and I would highly recommend it. It really does help you put what you learn in class into practice and has really benefited us. Scott is great and takes time to help with any issues your pup has. During the 5 walks we saw such an improvement with all our fur babies.
Our experience with Stirling Dog Behavioral Centre has been first class. We were having problems with our 2 dogs (ages 4 and 6) barking and lunging at other dogs and we didn’t know how to stop it. Also, our younger dog had bitten the vet nurse at a vaccination appointment, and we had stopped going to the vet. We were going to go on holiday to Cornwall with the dogs and we knew we wouldn’t be able to control the dogs in a busy place. We had not really trained them properly, which was remiss of us but it’s never too late to start! Scott came to visit us at home first and assessed our situation. We live in the country and our dogs were not meeting other dogs routinely and particularly the younger one who was a lockdown puppy hadn’t met other dogs all through her first year. We started playing training games with the dogs and encouraging them to engage more with us and rewarding the behavior we wanted. So, at a basic level if the dog turns to you, you say yes and give a treat. Then a few weeks later we joined the classes. It was amazing our dogs could cope with being in a big group of dogs as they are all busy doing exercises and games, they didn’t bark etc. Our younger dog is still lunging but we know what to do now and hopefully this behavior will become less. We are being trained to train our dogs! The training has also helped us take the dogs to the vet. Our last vaccinations went like a dream as we distracted them with sausages! Their heads were in the sausage container they didn’t even know the vaccination was going in. So we are heading to Cornwall next week and we are looking forward to walks on the beach with well behaved dogs!
Nothing short of FANTASTIC! We have taken our pup to both the puppy classes, adventure walks and puppy play group. The puppy classes are well structured and a great source of knowledge for any level of dog owner. However, as first time dog owners they really helped reassure us more than anything that we were doing the right thing! The team are patient and always happy to offer any advice needed. Great value for money and the location is perfect for parking etc. Great for any aged dog and great for socialising. The adventure walks are a great way to get out and enjoy the great outdoors with your puppy and other owners. Scott usually takes the sessions and is extremely knowledgeable and makes sure everyone is included. Never misses a training puppertunity! Puppy Play group is a great way of socialising your puppy with other dogs! There are a great mix of dogs and our pup loves going. We’ve noticed a marked improvement in his confidence since he started going. The biggest thing for me is that they care! They care about the dogs and they care about giving the owners the tools to success. Can’t recommend visiting the centre enough! Wouldn’t be without it! 🐶
Would highly recommend Scott and the team at SDBC. I had a consultation with Scott and then attended group classes with my 2 year old rescue. I have also been on one of the adventure walks with Scott. All the staff are very knowledgeable and show great care towards every single dog they meet. Me and my pup now have a lot more confidence with the training methods we have learned
A wonderful place where dogs come first but their humans are nurtured too Ann and her team genuinely love their charges and it’s not just a business or a job to them. I had a huge amount of support for my Border Collie to the extent of SDBC helping me find the most fantastic home for her. I have a new puppy now and we are both looking forward to working with the team again. They also sell a wide range of natural chews and treats and will advise owners on the most appropriate choice. The dogs really love going there and that’s a better endorsement than this human can give. So it’s 5 stars from me too.
Our lunatic black Labrador puppy entered our lives in February 2020 just before lockdown. The timing was terrible and socialisation a real problem. A recommendation led us to the amazing team at the Stirling Dog Behavioural Centre and we’ve never looked back. Luffy loves it. He started with puppy playgroup and now goes once a week as a day care dog (for his own benefit, not because he needs to) and for obedience classes. He loves it; we’ve both benefited enormously and have come so far. So far, in fact, he now has a baby sister. I simply can’t recommend this place highly enough.
A thousand thanx to Ian, Louise and their team. Very accommodating and friendly guys, My Zuri bear has had a great weeks holiday with u. Sending us updates was very reassuring. And we can't recommend u highly enough. "His Majesty" says WOOF! (thanku) 😊🐾🐻💜 …
My girl Taylor, had been quite unwell a week before going to the kennels, so I was concerned about leaving her I needn't have worried, she was really well looked after and bounced out like a spring lamb when I picked her up. Fabulous, friendly and helpful service. Thank you so much x
I couldn’t be more happy with the stay my dogs had here, they were very happy and didn’t want to leave. We where given updates daily on how they where doing. First time using any kennels and we definitely will be back here. I recommend Iain and Louise to anyone looking :)
Excellent place where you can feel that your dog is looked after. They really care about your dog. Less of a Kennel, more of a hotel.
Delighted to get our three dogs in here at short notice. Fantastic service and really great value for kennels ( our normal kennels are twice the price in England) Our dogs were well cared for and the staff were knowledgeable about their quirks and habits when we picked them up which shows me that care and attention had been paid to them. We would not hesitate use Powiswood in the future and can highly recommend them.
Really good kennels, excellent care to my dog who is 8 years old and never been in kennels before, he is such an anxious and nervous dog. The owners and staff were amazing, my boy came home happy and relaxed, would definitley recommend and wouldnt hesitate to book again. Many thanks 🐾 …
First time we've had our dogs in here and very happy. We picked up our dogs and as usual they were happy to see us. Once home they remained settled all day. Totally different from previous boarding at a different kennels. Hopefully we'll be able to use Powiswood in the future.
My dog stayed here for 12 days and was looked after very well. Facilities and staff were excellent and took phonecalls from myself on holiday asking how buddy was getting on. Buddy will be going back here again
On visit was fresh and clean Staff were very relaxed with us and our dogs followed kennels young lady, took to her right away Had look around kennels and ground where the dogs can Rome around also exercise areas very good indeed First impreson very good A weddell
Milo stayed here last month and had an incredible time. Came back very happy, he can't wait for his next holiday.
Awesome business, everything you are looking for when it comes to caring for your best friend... professional and caring staff.
This kennel is wonderful. Dogs so happy to go there I feel bereft. My guys are fitted with fitbark and they do more miles there playing than we do walking. Have used Airth since I had my first wee lad many years ago
We’ve had our lovely Mona stay at Airth Station Kennels twice now, and she has absolutely loved it! The staff have been amazing, I would highly recommend it to anyone that’s looking for kennels/day care for their pups
Lovely staff and so friendly. Well priced. Our 3 dogs love it there. Pay by cash for a small discount!!
Great place my 2 love it, and staff are friendly . Can be a bit hard at times to get a space though
Went for a lookaround today very clean and professional.I love the fact that they have settle in visits to see how your dog gets on .I'm sure Milo will enjoy his holiday there 🐕 …
Dogs love coming here. Great place, well organised, enthusiastic and friendly staff.
Wouldn't put my dogs anywhere else now. Fantastic facilities and the dogs are always happy and well looked after
Ramsay loves it here! Staff are v friendly and professional.
Reggie loved it. Owners and staff brilliant. Highly recommend 🐶 …
Wonderful kennels, my boys loved their visit and can't wait to go back ❤️
Just picked our girl up from having a 2 wks stay, she had never stayed anywhere before so I was nervous. Well I can honestly say she had the best time the videos keeping me updated on how she was is a lovely touch.she was so happy to see us but also went over to the team for a clap while we were there which just shows how caring they are. Best team at gartlove would never have Bella anywhere else for her holidays,I’ll be recommending them to everyone,thank you guys for looking after our girl 🐾🥰
My dogs love being here. Everyone is really friendly, they clearly care about my dogs and make the effort to learn about and understand their individual personalities.
Excellent kennels and staff. Would highly recommend
Fabulous service. Reliable with bookings, the contract covers all eventualities, they know how to look after pets, very caring and professional. Highly recommend.
Very well looked after and hamsters came back home very happy...great service..
