We had a wonderful time looking after Ginny, Taffy and Blue in Woodham. Jayne was very welcoming and left us all of the details we needed. The area is lovely and quiet. We were blessed with good whether and managed to spend a great deal of time enjoying the garden and heading out on local walks. Highly recommended and happy to sit again if the opportunity arises!
Anita and her family are super attentive, they treated us very well and made us feel at home. The pets are super sweet and kind. Pepper won our hearts, she is very calm and loving. It was a pleasure to meet everyone.
Todo is a sweet dog who really enjoys his walks. The apartment is in a great location which means he can be walked through the riverside park immediately below the apartment. The apartment has stunning views, is quiet and has everything needed. (We did enjoy being able to view English language China news on the CGTN.) Communication with Marja was excellent and it was especially lovely to meet her on our last night. Thanks.
I had a lovely time hanging out with Lennox, Howard, and Kevin in Sam and Angelo's beautiful apartment and it was hard to say goodbye! Lennox is a sweetheart who followed me everywhere I went and Howard is the most affectionate cat I've ever met and curious about everything! Especially the water from the faucet 😂. And Kevin is an independent gal, but whenever she came to me for head pats I felt so accepted! Sam and Angelo are great hosts and super communicative. They sent detailed instructions and met me ahead of time to answer questions and give me a tour of the building. They're in a very accessible neighborhood with lots of great food and things to visit nearby 👍👍
As rescues, these 2 lovely cats needed more attention than regular cats, but I was happy to give it to them. It's not a pet sit for someone who wants to just throw dry food in a bowl. I look forward to being with them again.
Claire and Chris were wonderful hosts and Frank and I can highly recommend this sit. We were given an extensive Welcome Book to go over all workings of their beautiful home and garden so were well primed when we met them. Claire made us a delicious dinner which we shared with their family on our arrival and we were able to spend an extra night at the end due to their late arrival home and more hospitality. They are a very lovely busy family and are a joy to know. Aalto is a very calm well behaved black lab and has a lovely temperament so we enjoyed him immensely along with the chicks who were low maintenance and gave us our breakfast most mornings! Definitely a 5* sit in lovely surroundings. A car is recommended for this sit. Many thanks again Claire and Chris. Happy travels!

Luna stayed here for a full week and she’s had a blast. Gayle takes really good care of all the dogs. You get daily updates on social media where you can see your furry friends enjoying their time with others on the green fields and all the safely fenced areas they have for the dogs. They also do doggy daycare, so there are always dogs so your little one has always some company. I will definitely will bring Luna back.
Thank you so much to Gayle and all the lovely team at Bridle House Hounds for yet again taking such good care of Ozzy. Ozzy is a nervous dog and the team went out of their way to make sure he was settled and happy during his week stay. Such peace of mind to know he is so well cared for when we are away. Thanks again 😊 …
Great standard of care. Amazing grounds and facilities. Gayle is treating every dog as part of her family. It is home away from home type of care. I wouldn't leave my dogs anywhere else. My 3 dogs, 2 labradors and collie cross stayed with Gayle for 14 nights while we were away on holidays and Gayle took great care of them and provided me updates and photos via WhatsApp . One of my dogs has few phobias, like not being able to walk on tile floors and Gayle always trying to make his stay comfortable by using throws on the floor. Highly recommend.
This is not your average kennel! Lovely house and grounds. Safe setup. Dogs are treated like their family pets! Thanks to Gayle and her team. Would recommend +++
Our dog Bailey suffered from anxiety due to being attacked, our dog trainer didn't work but taking our dogs to Bridle House Hounds has really helped. Both our dogs have a great time and we now take them once/twice a week. Highly recommended.
Gayle and team are an absolute dream to deal. Ted adores going here as well
Fantastic “Dog Hotel” as we call it. Our 2 friends are so very well cared for and loved in our absence . Complete peace of mind when they are with Gayle and her family . So happy to have found you ❤️
Excellent location and grounds. Friendly staff. Its like a doggy hotel. They looked after our 3, 2 labs and a collie, while we were away on hs for 10 days and we knew they were in good hands.
The sorroundings is so cleaned now specially the frontyard and backyard areas. Good job guys a perfect place for our pets. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED GUYS! 5 STAR RATINGS.
If you want your dog to get the very best of care and not have any worries while you're away, this is the place you leave it.
Our dog Leo had a great time on his holidays with Claire and Fiona who looked after him so well on his first visit with them. They genuinely love the dogs they care for and Leo who is shy with other dogs got on very well. Thanks Claire and Fiona.
Fantastic place to leave your dogs while on holidays really clean and nice and friendly thanks again
My dogs settled so well with Claire at the Haven. Very reassuring and delighted that dogs settled
My dog Roy 🐕 is home from home. It's a great feeling when your dog is looked after, so well. Claire & Fiona are simply the best. Highly recommended 👌 …
Missy had a great stay here, thanks for looking after her so well
I have left my shy cocker spaniel with a few different kennels/minders and this is by far the best kennels out there. Claire and Fiona are so thoughtful and caring with all dogs that go stay with them and they have lovely facilities for the dogs and a lovely sized kennel; not too large so that your dog won’t be overwhelmed.
We have a large dog who is more of a pack animal than a solitary one. Upon ringing to find out about availability, we were invited to come out for a tour. We were greeted by Fiona who showed us the area for the dogs, the play pen and more and were impressed by her genuine love of dogs and how clean and well run the kennels are. Some days later, we dropped our dog off to an equally enthusiastic Claire (apologies if that is misspelled!) who was very understanding of and flexible to our needs. Our dog was with them a number of days. I believe that the biggest tests of a kennel are how our dog behaves upon seeing me return to collect him and how he behaves at home for the following few days. Our dog was happy to see me for sure but was also happy to be around and petted by Fiona which I took as a great sign. On top of that, our dog adapted just fine back at home with no issues of concern. Because of the size and dynamic of the place and staff, this experience is partway between boarding at a house and boarding at a kennel. This is exactly what was best for our dog and the right balance of structure, routine and socialising - our dog made friends with an English Sheepdog and a Beagle. The cherry on the cake is that this is great value too. We highly recommend Haven Boarding Kennels and will definitely be using them again in the future. Also, a genuine thank you to Claire and Fiona for taking such good care of our dog! : )
Brilliant kennels. Our dog was so well looked after during his first time away in kennels. He's quite shy around new people but got on so well and made friends with everyone there. Thanks so much Fiona and Claire.
Highly recommend this place, book your dog with confidence, it will be well looked after by the lovely people running the place. Our dog stayed there for whole 7 weeks and she was happy, healthy and in a great shape (shiny coat, perfect weight) when we picked her. Thank you so much for your care!
Roi loves staying here with Claire and Fiona, it's such a lovely place and it's great seeing all the happy dogs there, Claire and Fiona are just fantastic
I left my two dogs with WeCare boarding for two weeks and I couldn't be happier. Andrew and Ana are both amazing with dogs and my two nervous rescues were really comfortable and happy in their care. Great facilities, great and friendly people. 100% recommended.
We left our cat Luci in Andrew and teams capable hands. He settled in great and we got updates throughout our stay when requested. We highly recommend booking your cat in with the team at We Care Boarding and we know Luci is looking forward to his return visit next year!
Highest standards or care for our little Shitzu dog Riley. He came back so happy and clean, we knew he was really well looked after. Top facilities and Andrew and the team make sure you have no concerns. Highly recommended. Thanks to We Care because they really do care and not just tick a box.
We brought our rescue dog Teddy to stay with Andrew and the team for a little over a week. He's small and timid and very anxious around big dogs. Andrew and the team were brilliant in catering for his needs and every day we got a pic or video sent of how Teddy was doing. It gave us great piece of mind and I would absolutely recommend Wecare Boarding . Rhayader were fantastic!
Super experience twice now with our border collie pup. She is very happy being dropped off, Andrew and his team show great affection for all the dogs in their care, I wouldn't leave our pup anywhere else, thanks 👍 …
I left Scout, my seven-month-old golden retriever for 9 nights in the capable hands of Andrew and his staff. It was the first time Scout had attended a kennels and she loved her time there. She was able to run daily with other dogs and it was a very natural environment for her. Picture and video updates were delivered very promptly when requested while I was on holidays and Scout really enjoyed her holidays at Wecare Boarding too. Scout came back from her holidays a calmer and less reactive puppy! I will certainly be using these boarding kennels again.
Brought our lab Bailey here to stay for the first time for 10 days. He is a little shy initially and Andrew and the team were so good with him. We could see from updates shared with us that he was settling well and having loads of social time and fun with the other dogs. This is the perfect place to leave your dog knowing they'll be well looked after and happy and we will definitely be using WeCare Boarding again. I would highly recommend.
My dog Cooper had his first stay away from home with Andrew and the team recently and had an amazing time. I was very nervous leaving him in kennels at all but as soon as we arrived we knew we were leaving him with people who love animals, its the most beautiful location with so much space for the dogs to play. Cooper can be an anxious dog but we could see in the videos we were sent over the week that he was very at home. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending We Care to anyone with a dog or cat looking for a home from home for their fur baby. Thank you again Andrew and team.
Left Pippa in WeCare Boarding for 12 nights, was concerned as this is the longest time that Pippa would have been in kennels. Well I need not have worried at all as Andrew and his staff took such good care of Pippa and sent me messages and videos of her while we were away. A big thank you to everyone in WeCare Boarding.
Our dog milo had the best time at WeCareBoarding. He came back in great form and smelling fantastic after his blow dry.
Thanks to Amie for minding our 1.5yr old German Shepherd. She was fed her usual food and we got regular updates. Nothing was ever too much bother - would highly recommend. Thanks again Amie.
Dropped my dog off for a week from 04.08.24 to 11.08.24. We arrived a little later than planned back to Dublin. I text and said I'd ran late and would have to pick him up today 12.04.24 and this was not a problem. From the second I pulled up I knew John was special, he'd so much time to chat and play with Marley. They document every detail you give them about your dog. For example there was a clip board outside each individual kennel with the dogs name and your number and "may escape" "loves his toy" etc. So cute. Marley was in great form coming home ❤️ Would highly recommend.
Absolutely amazing service John really looked after our dog! We would highly recommend this kennell to anyone that wants their dog in safe hands.They are lovely people & the best in the business.
I would 100 percent recommend delvin kennels. My Max is a Belgian Malinois and a bit crazy 😂 which not many kennels out there will even consider minding him and to be fair I have not had a night away from him in nearly 3 years for tat reason and I was nervous of leaving him to, until delvin kennels especially Amie from the moment I brought max to her I knew I had nothing to worry about and trust me I didn’t my max absolutely loved her. I got pictures and videos which helped me so much while been away as I could see how much fun he was having. This is definitely Max’s new second home 😂💙
When I collected my dog after he stayed there for 8 days he was very quiet. All day was very apathetic and would not eat. I have spoken with the owner trying to find out how was my dog feeling during the stay and if he was eating ok. The owner got very defensive, no compassion whatsoever, he told me he was perfect during the stay. I took my dog to the vet the day after I collected him. He was very sick- dying. Sir, I think you should consider change of profession if you cannot defer sick dog from perfect.
Best in the Business . great set up. best value out there, accommodated me at very short notice also. peace of mind to know my dogs are well looked after. thank you again
We left our dog for 10 days and it went amazing ! Big thanks to Amie and her team that took so much care of our Basenji ! They are true dog lovers and the dogs feel it !
They took really good care of my Dog. He is an inside spoilt doggy, and they really minded him. Sent me videos of him and I've have no issue leaving him there again :)
I would recommend Delvin Kennels. They take excellent care of my Dalmatian puppy. They pick her up and bring her back, which is the best service! They take excellent care of her when my female dog is in heat, and I don’t have to worry about a thing. The food is healthy, pure food like chicken or tuna, which my dog loves. In my opinion, they are real dog people, who have a big heart for their dogs.
I've been using Domnal's kennels regularly for the past few years for our border collie. I'm absolutely delighted with the service and have absolute trust in the level of care I know he gets. Our dog is always happy to get there and clearly loves Domnal as he jumps all over him when we arrive. The facilities are great and very well kept. Domnal himself is an absolute gent, as sound as they come and always very accomodating. Our 2 Yr old even calls him "the nice man from wow wow house". I've recommended him to friends and neighbours already and would recommend him to everyone else.
Fiona is competent and friendly. Fiona's Stoney Arch kennels came highly recommended. Our cocker spaniel, Brutus, adores going there. It is now 11 years and we know that when we are on holidays, so is he. Over the years Fiona guided us while taking great care of our dog. We are very grateful for having found stoney arch and Fiona. (Our furry one hated the dspca kennels and after two times there we decided to look elsewhere, this is how we came to Fiona.)
Our girl Ripley has become very clingy and needy in lockdown, and she just wasn't enjoying her time in her old kennel. A friend recommended Stoneyarch and we gave it a go as a last attempt at kennels. It could not have gone better. Ripley was given time to play with other doggo pals, she was kept busy and active all day and had a great rest at night. Fiona is passionate and cares deeply for the animals she minds. We treated Ripley to a wash while she was there, and she came home more gleaming and smooth than I've ever known her! 😂👌 Don't think twice, book your doggo in here.
Very professional service would highly recommend for complete peace of mind that your pets are being looked after properly 5 stars 🌟 …
I've been using Stoney arch kennels for a number of years and have found fiona and aidan a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend. My two black labs have grown up with them and love it there
Fiona is just excellent. Dog extremely well looked after and she is also the best groom around. Highly reccomended.
I wouldn't leave my dogs with anyone else. Gonna is reliable, honest and loves the dogs. My two are never reluctant to go in and never dying to leave
Fiona is just brilliant. I wouldn't use any other kennels. I used here for years and have never had an issue. 5 stars
Lovely place to Visit. Wasnt busy or sunny the day i visited. Enjoyed a walk on the beach. Id say on sunny days it would be hetic trying to get up or down the narrow road that leads to beach or pier.
What a lovely place so quiet nice little beach spent a few hours there just listening to the sound of the gentle waves on the Atlantic
Our furry family home from home. Great care given.
Glenda looked after our Labrador Millie for 3 weeks while myself and my husband got married and went on our honeymoon. Millie was well looked after and you could tell when picking her up that she adored Glenda and would miss her! Glenda also shares pictures on Instagram so it was nice to see how Millie was doing when we were away. Would highly recommend 😊
My dogs 🐕 love going here ! Glenda is super welcoming & friendly. They love the surrounds and walks & playing and making new friends 😊. They get excited as soon as we arrive at the gate !. Would highly recommend 👌, such peace of mind leaving my girls with genuine animal lovers ❤️
Great facilities for my dogs, they’re always excited to go there and I couldn’t be happier with the service, price and peace of mind I get from Glenda who frequently updates me when my dogs are staying with her. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. 🐶 …
Looked after my dog really well.
