Jolana was a great sitter for Fawna and Midnight :) the house was well cared for and I especially appreciate how communicative she was. I'd have her again anytime!
I have had amazing time getting to know Susan, David and Dan in sunny Andalucia! Susan and David are very welcoming people and made me really feel like home at their place. We’ve also just enjoyed talking and laughing on the days when we were together in the house. The little hero Dan is a lovely cat who gets attached to people and will try to accompany you in whatever you do when he realizes that the friendship has started:) And yeah, I hope to be back at some point to this welcoming house and meet Susan, David and Dan again☀️ P.S. If you are staying at Susan and David’s house — ask about salty caramel ice-cream prepared by Susan 😍 It is killing 😎 Kseniya
Carolyn was so lovely and amazing with communication. Detailed and precise instructions were left behind so it was a pleasure to look after adorable Steve! Steve was a cutie, very friendly and easy to take care of and I had an amazing time looking after him. The location and home was amazing and very close to the station.
Valintine and Little Tony were fantastic companions! Valentine is so sweet and friendly, and Little Tony is a cutie. The apartment is well-equipped and conveniently located, and Teresa is responsive and helpful. Great stay!
Having taken care of Ringo was a beautiful experience! we already missed him very much! is a very good dog and companion. Penny made us feel great, we are so grateful
Loved my time with Tre & Angel! Both sweet, easy kitties who are indoor/outdoor, which makes caretaking super simple. Lucy & John were both so kind, communicative and clear in instructions, and their charming “cottage” was a great home base for exploring the East Bay and beyond. Would highly recommend this sit!

So glad I joined safe paws. I had such an anxious little pup who couldn't stand to be away from me, now he can't wait to get into the centre in the mornings. Really changed his life! So grateful to all the staff and everything they have done to help him. Can't recommend them enough!
This place is a wonderful example of how to run a dog day care centre. Well organised and run with the safety of the dogs paramount. Shirley is supported by a wonderful team who all made my training a very worthwhile experience. The course is well structured which provides plenty of safe, supervised practice with the dogs. A great experience and comes highly recommended to anyone who wishes to become a day care provider.
Attended the 3 day training course for opening. Highly professional and wealth of knowledge. Practical training was to a high standard. Lovely to see such well trained staff, happy dogs and a well run daycare centre. I would recommend training course to anyone starting up their own daycare and to any owners looking for Dog daycare in Stirling. Kèep up the awesome work Shirley and staff team
I attended the dog day care trainers course here and absolutely loved it! Shirley is so knowledgable and down to earth, no question goes unanswered. The centre is fantastic with well trained staff who make sure no dog is ever left out, any dog is lucky to be a part of Safepaws!
Excellent my dog comes home thoroughly exhausted. I can now take him for walks and he will integrate with other dogs. He says he loves going. How they get him to nap at lunchtime!! Is a 5 star in my eyes. Thoroughly recommend to anyone who has a dog staff so patient and love their job. Long may they keep going.
I’ve used safe paws since my dog has been 12 weeks old. He loves his day each week and is now 7 years old and still acts like he is 12 weeks of age every time he goes through the door. Fantastic service and wonderful staff
My gorgeous boy lenny loves his days with safe paws. He has made lots of doggy friends. Thank you safepaws for also teaching him recall! Highly recommend
What a fantastic training course Shirley delivers :) had the most amazing experience learning with the team, All the dogs and pups seem so happy here and get 10/10 care from the handlers
Henris favourite place. Can't ask for more. Great facilities friendly staff and look out for your dog.
Monty, my miniature schnauzer has been going here since he was 12 weeks old, his tail wags when we approach the entrance, he is a very happy doggo and the staff are amazing
We leave our wee Barney and Rosie with Alison and Fraser and know they get totally spoiled, it's totally home from home and gives you great comfort when you go away. Lovely wee haven for our pampered pooches 😂😂😂❤️ …
I was anxious about leaving my pup with strangers as he is very timid around new people. But when I collected him he was so happy and playing with the resident dogs! The owners couldn’t be lovelier and I would highly recommend!
This was the first time we have left our 15 month old ALD with anyone other than family. We only left her a few days but when we went back to collect her, she had already made herself at home and was quite happy amongst the other doggy residents - I was so pleased and can’t recommend Alison & Fraser highly enough. Alison and Fraser even had time to sent me a pic of Roxy chilling on the top of the sofa 💕💕💕🐾🐾🐾. Thank you again Alison & Fraser for taking such good care of our girl. She’ll be looking forward to visiting you again in July . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Alison and Fraser are great with wee Dolly. She loves it there as it's more like another home for her. We feel she's sage, cared for and indeed loved there.
Our buddy been visiting for days n sleepovers for 2years now its a second home to him now our wee bonnie also visiting too, Alison and frazer treat the dogs as their own, brilliant place for boarding be it day or night also holidays wouldn't put my dogs anywhere else big safe secure property, I can go to work or on holiday knowing my babies are looked after.
Alison is fab, our wee Lhasa, he loves going on his holidays and Alison always caters to our wee old man’s needs! He can’t wait to come back later this year only this time he’s bringing a puppy along with him 🫶 …
Amazing my bundle of 3 had a great time , such a lovely couple and dogs are well looked after. Like a home from home already booked in for next visit. Thank you so much ❤️🐶🐶🐶 …
amazing dog boarding and lovely people. Always know our boys are well looked after when they are staying
Always great to see the dogs having a good time
Like me you probably love to holiday with your dog, but there are times when they just can't come along. I would highly recommend Barking Mad for those occasions when you have a special event, need that foreign sun or to visit family & friends abroad. Jakki, Trudi and the team are very professional and genuinely care about dogs. With them I have the confidence that our dog Diesel will be well looked after for the times when he can't tag along. He goes willingly when collected, stays in someone's home, his routine is maintained, comes home in great condition and settles quickly. We like to think that he goes on holiday too, just without us!
Brilliant service. Raven is always so well looked after by the team from start to finish, I have never had a moments worry while she has been with them. She comes home healthy and happy. The hosts always put in a post card in her return bag just to let us know what she has been up too and if she behaved her self!! They all always seem to go above and beyond a basic service.
Known Jakki and Trudy for years and would have no one else look after Coco. A wonderful caring couple who ensure your dog is suitably placed and well looked after while you are away. First class ❤️
Poppy and Bauer love their holidays with their hosts. Always happy and healthy when they come back. Excellent service from everybody from start to finish. Total professionals and kind too.
Rox loves it.....he goes away excited and comes back the same, all happy. No huffs to deal with lol. Barking Mad allows me to enjoy my holiday without the worry, the picture updates help too 😍. …
