Patrick was very self-sufficient and kept the house very clean! He sent us daily pictures of Millie which was so great! We’re so thankful for Patrick!
We had a great time in the house of James and Bradford. But most of all we loved Brutus. It’s a little diva but after a couple of days he stole our hearts. I, Peter, love to cook and i loved the kitchen to cook our Christmas dinners. Shops are a little walk away and the neighboorhood is nice and quit. Everything is clean and modern and a home away from home. So thanks again James and Bradford. Give Brutus a big hug from us.
We LOVED staying at Julia and David's place! Prudence is the sweetest dog you can imagine and exceptionally well-behaved, and Dante is gorgeous. These two were so low maintenance that we were able to take full advantage of exploring the Santa Fe area, going on half-day trips to Abiquiu, and up to the ski basin to hike and beat the heat. We were always eager to get back to see Prudence though, especially since the house is so stunning and calming! The sunroom windows overlooking the mountains are the best, and the backyard is perfect for watching sunsets. The location was perfect for getting off the beaten path but still in proximity to everything in/around Santa Fe. We would be so happy to house sit again sometime! Thank you for the wonderful experience <3 Annika + Ian
I had a fantastic week in Stratford-Upon-Avon! The town is beautiful and within easy walking distance. Geraldine is personable, welcoming and extremely generous and I really enjoyed chatting with her. She made dinner for us the night before her departure and dropped me at the train station in a nearby town on the day I left. She has a really comfortable and lovely home and a beautiful, enclosed garden with a home office! I felt very comfortable there. The star of the show, however, was Alfie. He pierced my heart instantly and we became dear friends. He is full of personality and character and is extremely easy to care for—great on the lead when he’s up for a walk! He loves a lie in and adores his treats. If you sit him, please take very good care of him! He is precious!!! ❤️ Thank you so much, Geraldine!
Thank you Rebecca for letting us sit for you. We missed out 3 years ago, but we are so lucky to have been chosen this time! What a wonderful home you have, you can clearly see all the effort it has taken to make it so. We loved reading your story! What an adventure you all have had. We had superb weather whilst here, which meant we were outside most of the time, enjoying their lovely gardens. Not forgetting the great pond. All the animals were absolutely no trouble at all, starting with Cheeto, the orange one! He loved his locusts. Socks and Mittons were the easiest cats we have ever had to look after,just doing their own thing, but still liking a fuss. As for Boris and Hector, they were great boys to look after. They loved their walks, really good on the lead and great recall off. We had loads of lovely walks really handy, also they were brilliant in the car. They LOVE to play!!! Great communication from everyone in the family, and a really clear welcome guide. We would also like to thank Julia, their lovely cleaner, who was so friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed meeting her. If you need sitters again, put us first on the list😎. Enjoy the rest of summer. Best wishes David and Julie
Rebecca is truly such a nice soul! She even gave me tips beforehand to plan my trip and I am forever thankful for that. The house is just located beautifully in the middle of nature and still near to so many different hiking places you can explore (something I really recommend doing in fall). Zora is just the sweetest cat anyone can imagine and easy to take care of - a little angel in any kind of way! I would love to sit here again!
I loved sitting Marlowe! Kirstie was wonderful and she and Andrew’s home is a really special, restful place. Marlowe is full of beans and perhaps only for a confident dog walker but very sweet, affectionate and fun. I cannot recommend the experience highly enough.

Kevin is amazing with our two bunnies. Been taking them here the last few years. He is so caring and knows them so well, he gets to know their personalities and makes sure they get plenty excersise. Always really friendly! Would recommend to anyone without any hesitation.
What a lovely caring man Kevin is ,& what good care he took of my rabbit & all the other animals there. He really gets to know their personalities & works to make them feel relaxed. I will definitely use him in future & recommend him to anyone else.
My hens and duck boarded here. Kevin was extremely helpful, accommodating and put my mind at rest from the offset. When I met him I found somebody who truly cared about birds and was definitely going to look after them well. I had an update that they had settled in which is so reassuring. My girls came home looking fit, happy and healthy. This is true value for money in a caring and secure environment with somebody who went the extra mile to ensure my needs were met.
Always leave my Rabbit Bluey with The Fur and Feathers pet lodge. He's always well cared for which gives me peace of mind. Highly recommend!! Wonderful People.
I have used Fur and Feathers many times to look after my chickens when on holiday. The service is excellent and Kevin is always helpful and full of useful advice.
Always happy to leave my hens here when I'm away. I know they are safe and well looked after.
Lovely people home from home for animals. Our dog is well cared for and loves going. I would recommend this place.
Excellent place. They take great care of our bunnies.
I use them every time I go away and have been for years now. Highly recommended.
Friendly and really take care of your pet. Recommended.
Absolutely fantastic experience leaving our dog with Lena. She calmed him down and figured out ways to keep him happy and safe, as he is a very anxious little dog when first time with new sitters. We couldn't with for a better experience. Lena also kept us updated through the day, adjusted to our crazy timeline between meetings and work. Absolutely great. No words, just everything is perfect!
Our dog had a wonderful 2 night, weekend stay with Lena. He can be a bit anxious but Lena took all our notes thoughtfully and created a relaxing environment for our Bedlington whippet. I think they had a great time together! Wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay with her again. Highly recommend :)
Lena took great care if our 11 month old pup. It was our first time leaving her and we were worried about how she'd find it but Lena did an amazing job. She shows real compassion for the dog and the family, sending many updates with thoughtful messages. We would have no hesitation recommending Lena and would definitely book her again.
We’re absolutely delighted with the care that Lena gave to our 15 month old pup, Pascal and our cat, Midnight while staying with them in our house this past weekend. We were nervous about leaving them, especially Pascal as he can be quite anxious when we’re not around and he’s still young pup in training! We approached Lena due to her experience with anxious pups and her excellent reviews. It was absolutely the best decision! She really took her time to get to know us and Pascal. She asked us lots of questions about his routine and about his experience with a different sitter which hadn’t gone so well and we discussed what would help make this a really good sit. We booked a meet and great and a walk the week prior to us going so Pascal and Lena could get to know each other, so she could see how he was on the lead (we’d just introduced knew training techniques that we were keen were continued) and so we could show Lena round the house. When we left on Friday we were so confident that Pascal and Midnight were in the best hands. Lena sent us really thoughtful updates throughout the weekend which was so reassuring and we were really able to relax and have a great time away. We came home to happy pets and a tidy house - we couldn’t be happier! We won’t hesitate to book Lena again and fully recommend her!
Lena has watched our two little dogs many times now for a few days at a time up to a week. She has stayed at our flat a few times while watching them and is a very thoughtful house guest. Each time she takes such great care of them and sends us lots of videos and pictures (which we love!) and takes them on long walks (which they love!). We can tell she adores them and treats them so well, which is important for us while we’re away from them. I definitely recommend trusting Lena with your little one(s)!
Bandit’s first day with Lena went really well. She got him settled - chilled out, in fact - quickly. She sent lots of photos and videos to reassure me he was happy and having a good day. I’m sure Bandit will be back, Lena!
July 2024 Our Shih Tzus returned to Lena’s care this time for a 16 night stay in her home. The dogs were happy to return, greeting Lena enthusiastically! They quickly settled in while Lena took time to discuss any of their needs which may have changed since their last visit. Lena kept me updated daily with photos, videos and voice messages regarding their daily adventures. Their walks were varied and they clearly enjoyed spending time with Lena whether out and about or relaxing at home. Once again Lena went above and beyond, ensuring our dogs wellbeing and safety were taken care of. She has a real understanding of their personalities and needs. It will come as no surprise, that I would highly recommend Lena and that our dogs will return to her care again in the future.
Our Brucey had an amazing time with Lena as always, whilst we were getting married. He even got us a card 😊😊😊 Lena is the only person we are comfortable leaving little B with as he has massive separation anxiety and attention demands. Thank you again. …
Our two little Dachshunds loved being looked after by Lena in our home. Lena gave the dogs super walks and lots of attention, sharing this on videos to us every day, so we could see how content they were. Lena left our house very neat and tidy for our return and did every thing she could for us throughout her stay. Happy to recommend Lena to others. 😊
Lena walked our dog Monty over Easter. We found her very reliable, super careful and heaped lots of hugs, strokes and chats to make him feel well cared for. Plus videos of their walks. AThank you Lena. Will book you in next time we are away!!
Unfortunately, my dog was involved in an ‘incident’ while in their care. I spoke with bark n fly on the phone at 12pm 7th of March while at work and was told that a dog had ran over to mine and had bitten him on the ear (“nipped”) and there were some marks left underneath his front shoulder. We were told that he did not need picked up early and was fine after the incident as he was acting like himself. I was told it was up to owners if they wanted to opt for stitches on the ear or let it heal itself but to possibly get some antibiotics from the vet to avoid infection. I had booked my dog into the vet just to be sure. I was told the dogs had been separated and that the other owner would be told about the incident. I was also told that it would’ve been my dog that would get moved groups in future as he had been placed with the larger dogs. When I arrived to collect my dog, he came limping down the steps and I initially was looking for the cut on his ear when I noticed there was a major cut on his leg. After seeing my dog close up I could tell he would need stitches at the top of his leg and there would definitely be no ‘owner choice’ in regards to his wound. The worker told me he had been asleep for the last 2 hours which is very out of character for my young beagle and he has never done that while at day care before. I told the worker that he clearly needs stitches and they looked at his wound and addressed my dog and asked him if he had been “licking it while I wasn’t watching”. No amount of licking could have caused the open wound on his arm, I had no response to this and picked him up to go to the vets. I could see that my dog had been bitten multiple times and this was not a result of playing. I had to lift my dog to the car as he refused to walk any further and I left in tears. After taking my dog to the vet, they could see that he would need stitches and booked him in for the following morning. He had to be injected with antibiotics and painkillers, wound cleaned and given a cone to stop him making the cut worse. My insurance covered the £550 vet bills but I paid £160 excess for his injuries. In his procedure he had to get 3 different lots of stitches. After seeking a dog walker, they also had a look at the injuries and described it as he had clearly been mauled by the other dog. I was not told that the other dog who had done this would no longer be allowed to attend the daycare and I also feel upset that their owner will not know the extent of the incident and will not hear the final outcome. I had no confirmation about what had been said to the other owner. I wish that I had known the extent of his injury and I would have collected him straight away and taken him to the vet rather than him being hurt and left for 4 hours. Since then, Bark N Fly told me that they would pay me back the excess amount of £160 which took 2 months to receive back. I am only posting my experience now as although I stopped using their services I feel that other dogs owners should know about my dogs experience using Bark N Fly.
We've used Bark n Fly's services several times now and have been impressed each time. The gentleman that does the pick up is always kind and patient, and when we went to the place in person the staff were also helpful. We thought the facilities were impressive, too. Our dog (pictured in our local park) is very nervous of people but Bark n Fly assured us she'd be okay and have been most professional. I would absolutely recommend them if you need your dog cared for.
My pup Daisy loves the day care facilities at Bark n Fly. The pickup/drop off service is really handy. Daisy recently stayed for just under a week in the boarding services and had a great time, I appreciated the pictures of her playing and living her best life! Will definitely keep using Bark n Fly and highly recommend
This is the first time we have used kennels for our two dogs Winnie and Mylo, Dawn and her team were great and helped us get everything organised for their stay. Winnie is a typical outgoing wee white fluff ball but Mylo is quite a nervous dog but they were so good and caring with him and the genuine affection shown by Abby and the other staff helped him relax, come out of his shell and enjoy his stay. We will definitely use them again. Thanks Kevin & Lynne
This was our first time using the boarding service at Bark n Fly. When we picked our Westie Mara up after a wee, she tried to run back inside the building - so she must have absolutely loved it! Staff were friendly and gave some nice feedback on her stay. We will definitely use you again when we go away.
20 min waiting for someone at reception and nothing. Looks like I will lose my appointment at 10am due to not being able to leave my dogs for care. If you leave your dog here make sure you have enough, more than enough time. Looks like a nice place but no one at the front. Edited review - Don’t know how to reply to the “lies” I called - someone said would be there soon (disregarding the las two, dialled by mistake) so yes, there are calls. Be aware that someone answered so this is not a lie - perhaps you don’t know the call is registered on the callers phone. I was there at 9:22 with one of my dogs outside - took the picture because I knew this would be contested. So, yes, I did follow the instructions given in the door and yet nothing. Again, looks like a nice place but give yourself plenty, plenty of time and maybe someone will be at the reception.
Fantastic day care and boarding centre. Very friendly and helpful staff, and super convenient pick up / drop off service. When our dog was a puppy we really liked that we could get her acclimated to being away by starting with a half day at day care, progressing to a full day, and then to overnight stays. Our dog always loves her time there and comes home very sleepy from all the playing!
Chippy seemed very happy staying over!
The Bark n Fly is amazing! They’re services are great! They picked up and delivered our dogs and both drivers were friendly, helpful and so patient with Ruby and Leia! We also could follow them on Instagram and check how much fun the dogs had playing around! They arrived home very happy (and equally exhausted because of the great time they had). I have no words to express how grateful we are to have found such nice people to take care of them while we are away 💙
We have a very active 18 months old GSP, who has struggled with home boarding so decided to try Bark’n’Fly. The team were very knowledgeable and gave us great advice on how to help her adjust to staying overnight. Coco has now been going for 3 months and her separation anxiety is gone! She recognises the staff and can’t wait to play in the fields with all the other dogs. We love checking Instagram to see if we can see a picture of Coco having fun on their account! I recommend the team and the set up, especially if you have an active dog, it’s great for them to be able to play all day
Hazel looked after our Springer Spaniel Lacey while we were away on holiday. We were nervous to leave her behind as Lacey can get overwhelmed with new places and dogs but she fit right in. Hazel made sure to update us with lots of photos multiple times a day which made us feel right at ease - we could see how much Lacey enjoyed her holiday (especially stealing Fara’s bed)! We will definitely use Hazel again in the future.
Our 12 year old rescue dog, Brooke, spent a couple of nights here in August 2024 and loved her stay. We were a little worried beforehand as Brooke has only ever stayed with family but, honestly, we shouldn't have been at all concerned. Hazel views each dog's stay as their holiday and makes sure that they are integrated into the home, have plenty of walks and attention. We got lots of updates and photos to show that Brooke had settled and was enjoying her stay. Brooke is already booked in for a couple of additional dates following a successful stay :)
This is the second time Yogi has stayed with Hazel and family and I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough. I have always felt so comfortable leaving our dog Yogi with them and look forward to the daily updates and photos. You can see truly how happy yogi is when he is there. Your dog will be treated like family at the bed and bone dog home boarding and we love that. We are so grateful to have such wonderful people look after our fur baby while we are away.
Hazel looked after our dogs while we were attending a wedding and they couldn’t have been looked after any better! She sent me loads of photos and pupdates over the weekend and I could see they were happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend using this business as your dogs will be in safe hands. Thank you again Hazel and family 🥰
Rocco and Freya, both Spaniels, had a fantastic time on holiday with Hazel, Malcolm and family. The whole experience went very smoothly from the initial meet and great, trial sleepover and holiday time. I could tell from the initial meeting that Hazel and Malcolm both love dogs and made such a fuss (and friends) with them very quickly. Hazel was great at keeping me up to date with all their adventures on their walks and chilling at their house on the couch! Really a home from home experience! They had a fab time and got on so well with their dog, Fara. I would fully recommend Hazel - 100% and Rocco and Freya are so looking forward to their next holiday. Thank you both so much, it allowed me to relax and enjoy my holiday!
We boarded our two golden retrievers in September and could not recommend highly enough ! Our dogs were loved and cared and it was a joy to be away knowing they were being so cared for. Hazel and Malc have such a well run professional caring business and I will be using their service again for sure
Phoebe came to stay with Hazel and family for 3 nights, it was her first time staying away without us so I was a bit nervous but was put at ease immediately, from the meet and greet beforehand, dropping her off and lots of lovely photos and updates over the time we were away! I will definitely use Bed and Bone again it’s so nice to know she is being well looked after in a lovely home environment, when we picked her up although she was very excited to see us it was also lovely to see her obvious affection for Hazel so a big thumbs up from Phoebe too.
We felt from the outset that Hazel and Malcolm would take great care of our dog - they were kind, caring and very conscientious, asking all the right questions and meeting her (and me!) before she went to board with them. Our dog is a bit of a velcro dog, and we certainly felt she was well looked after and loved during her stay. We got lots of photos which was really reassuring as Vesper looked like she was having a great time!
Highly recommend Bed and Bone Boarding. Hazel is lovely and took care of my dog like he was her own. Lots of walks, pictures and updates. I have already rebooked. My dog loved his stay ❤️
Heidi loves her time with this family. They treat my dog like she’s their own and Heidi never wants to leave. They take her great walks and I get so many fabulous updates which makes me feel confident that she’s in great hands. Heidi and I are so grateful for them and their excellent service.
My dog loves his daycare at Sal’s Pals. Only been going a couple of months but he drags me in and cries all the way home. I know he’s well looked after and gets individual attention, is kept active but gets time to chill out and rest too. You can see that all the staff love the dogs in their care and put their needs first.
Staff are always helpful and ready to answer any issues. My dog loves going there twice a week and is always eager to get in play with her friends. Seasonal entertainment encouraged and appreciated by all those i have witnessed. For a relatively young dog , not 2 until next month, it is testament to the service and facilities that are provided that Poppy is always tired once she is picked up. Admittedly i was a bit unsure following the closure of our local doggy daycare, however, we are delighted with the friendly service and facilities we have witnessed first hand. Would highly recommend any parties looking for doggy daycare to enlist the services of Sals Pals. 5*****
My dog loves Sal’s Pals, at drop off, all dogs are pulling their owners to get to Sal’s as quickly as possible! The team who work at Sal’s are the best, my pup is people reactive and she loves everyone who works there. They are so kind, caring and understanding. The dogs are treated to first class service, enrichment training, games and cosy pens for nap time. Quite simply, I would not send my dog to anyone or anywhere else. My dog always has the best time and it is a joy taking her there.
whisky loves her time at Sal’s Pals and comes home exhausted! the staff are all so friendly too. A great place situated in lovely countryside.
Couldn’t recommend SalsPals enough!! My dog is obsessed with the team for dog walking! Plus the easy to use app makes everything so organised! Thanks team, you are great!
My cocker spaniel pup has been going to Sal’s Pals day care for a while now and she absolutely loves it! The staff are incredible, so kind and helpful and clearly love what they do! As soon as Luna realises where she is, she’s like a rocket to the door. It’s the one day a week I truly don’t have to worry about her while I’m at work because I know she’s in good hands. I can tell Luna has the best day at day care because she comes home, has dinner and that’s her until the next morning 😴 So very grateful for the staff taking such good care of my pup ❤️
Skye pie just loves going for sleep overs at Sals Pals. She also goes to the day care occasionally. Sally is amazing and Skye is always happy to see her. I wouldn't hesitate in highly recommending Sals Pals.
What can I say about Sals Pals? Our dog Moli just loves going there and we know she will be looked after and cared for all day. From the moment she jumps out of the car she cannot wait to get through the gate! The facilities are second to none and all the dogs aunties just love what they do. Moli loves the parties at Howleween and the Christmas Pawties. So much attention to details goes into these events. Sals Pals is the best!
Please ignore the review slating Sal’s pals my world goes twice a week and would go more if I could afford it.! Dolly loves it.. she gets very excited when we turn into road just up from their driveway.. all the dogs that I have met all get very excited when they arrive which to me as a dog owner of over 40 years means they are very happy to be going to daycare but the day… 10/10 highly recommend although I think the waiting list is quite long.. so get your dogs on the list ASAP.. 😊 photos of dolly after been at salpals…
Sally was absolutely brilliant! We hired her to watch our dog at our wedding. What we wanted was a little unusual for wedding dog-sitting (someone to stay on property at the venue with our dog for the day) and Sal’s Pals was the only business we contacted that was willing to work out a bespoke service for us. Not only was Sally friendly and helpful throughout the booking process, but she was so, so great with our dog! She came prepared (with treats! Won him over immediately), and knew exactly what to do through the ceremony. We were able to relax and enjoy the day knowing that he was in good hands, while getting to see him every so often when she would take him over to socialize. :) We wholeheartedly recommend Sally, and wish we lived close enough to take advantage of Sal’s Pals doggy daycare!

Murray is a highly responsible dog walker. He cares so much individually for each of the pooches. His walks are excellent value for money. Dogs get plenty of off lead exercise if allowed. Murray's kindness and love of animals and respect for nature shines through.
Thanks for all the fun walks... Darcy loves her adventures with you.
Great service and a lovely chap.
Amazing kennels this is our first time using them and our 3 fur babies were so well looked after for a week due to a wedding abroad. The kennels are spacious and clean and our dogs were happy and healthy on collection. Thanks so much for putting our minds at rest and taking wonderful care of our dogs.
My two cockers love going to Gordon & Laura's kennels. He's been looking after them since they were 6mths old and they're now 5. Never any problems getting them fitted in. Whether for a day visit or two weeks. They get picked up and dropped off, all at a convenient time. He supplies the food we feed and they're walked often. Lovely clean, heated kennels. Thanks guys
I have now used Station View on three occasions and would have no hesitation in recommending the services. Our rescue dog is very wary by nature but Gordon clearly knows dogs and has a calm and reassuring manner. I can't honestly say Elmo loves going to stay at kennels, but I'm confident when he is there, he is in caring and safe hands.
First time using kennels for our dog Callie who stayed with Gordon for 11 days and from booking we felt she would be in safe hands. Kennels are very well appointed and clean. When we picked her up it was clear she was happy and in good hands as she had eyes for Gordon and his team only. Awful for us but great for Callie, thanks to outstanding care. Callie cried on the way home but settled into her home easily. Thank you Gordon for all you and your team have done to look after our precious girl.
Our Dog Henry was at Station View Kennels for a week whilst we were on holiday. Would 100% recommend Gordon and the team. Henry seemed to have had a great time, and wasn’t that fussed about coming home! I think he has made a new friend 😂 A big thank you for the brilliant service and care of Henry it is much appreciated. We will be using again! Thank you
Went to collect our dogs x2 dogs were smelling badly when came out of kennels , definitely to small for 2 large dogs , I know you will get a kennel smell but not like this was really bad , it’s like our dogs were kept in a lot of the times it’s unfortunate that you can’t see what goes on behind closed doors especially when your away , don’t think we will be back .
I am honestly struggling to put into words how highly I would rate Station View Kennels. We had a booking for 5 dogs for 16 nights whilst we were away on holiday, this was the first time we left our dogs but I can honestly say we will never use another kennels for our dogs. They were so well taken care of from the minute they were dropped off, and when we picked them up - they were so happy and ran back into the kennels! You can tell Gordon knows his stuff about dogs and really, truly cares about them. Unfortunately one of our dogs, Brodie, fell unwell whilst we were away and suffered a seizure which has never happened before. Gordon constantly kept us up to date about how he was recovering, as well as discussed the vet visit with us. Anyone who has left their dogs in kennels will know your biggest fear is when they fall unwell, unfortunately this happened with us but I honestly cannot praise and thank Gordon enough with how well he handled the situation. Truly the best care for our dogs & we will absolutely be booking again.
Feel totally confident that our dog will be well looked after. Gordon is so genuine in his care for the dogs. He is friendly and offers an outstanding service.
My dog is always happy when she sees Gordon, she loves him. I'm sure she's safe and in good conditions.
Absolutely first rate kennels, run by the friendliest person you’re ever likely to meet. We were staying in the area on holiday and as our two dogs are getting quite elderly we didn’t want to drag them around with us. Recommended by the campsite, we called Gordon and we’re lucky enough that he had some space. Quite simply a man who loves his job, and is infectiously cheerful, Gordon is a wonderful kennel owner. Our two dogs were glad to go back on the second day and Gordon was clearly very pleased to see them. We would not hesitate to recommend Station View Kennels or Gordon. Thank you for looking after our boys 😊
Tammie walks my little dog Daisy and has done now for over 3 years. I love that Tammie knows all the dogs she walks so well, makes instant connections and is so attuned to their needs and personalities and treats them all as her little family (The Clan). I have complete trust in Clan Canines. Daisy's had some problems with her legs on the past and Tammie has been amazing, keeping an eye on her, and adapting where appropriate. Clan Canines is definitely not ‘just a job’ for Tammie as she’s so driven to develop herself in order to provide the best service possible. I know that if there was something she was unsure of with a dog she would be resourceful and contact the right people to help and probably enrol herself in a course so you know exactly how to handle the situation in the future, then share her new knowledge with others! Everything is considered thoroughly and with excellent professionalism and I think this helps her clients have full trust in her! In all the photos from the walks Daisy always has a giant grin, and she is so happily sleepy afterwards! I get excited on Daisy’s behalf and look forward to days that she is with Tammie as I know how happy she is when with the clan!
We absolutely love Clan Canines! Our dog loves going out with Tammie and doggy pals for walks and we love seeing the photos Tammie posts everyday. The organisation and communication with clients is excellent and we feel really confident that our dog is well looked after.
You'll not be disappointed! Tammie offers an amazing, personable service. She always has your dogs needs foremost in her mind and I trust her implicitly. My dog absolutely loves her and can't wait for her walks each week!
Tammie and her team are excellent! Our dog absolutely loves his walks and it is clear how much the walkers love the dogs. Tammie is very efficient in managing the administrative side of the business as well and is creative in her offer. We have been using Clan Canines since they started several years ago, and I can't recommend them highly enough.
My dog has been a member of Tammie’s clan for over a year now. For me it has been a very stress-free and reassuring experience. I feel lucky to have found Clan Canines for Bailey who is always so excited when she is collected. I love seeing the photos and sometimes little videos of her having a great time on her walks and love that she gets a variety of walks in different locations when I’m working. I couldn’t ask for anything more or different from a dog walking company than what Clan Canines provides.
Clan Canines provide a fantastic service. Tammie walks my dog Rafa, a border collie, and he adores her and loves his walks. He's a pretty energetic dog so it's great to have a service that gives him plenty of activity. It's also nice seeing the pictures of all the dogs having a lovely time. The service is very reliable and professional. Also, as this is 2020, there are excellent policies and procedures keeping everyone safe during the pandemic! Highly recommend.
Tammie has been taking our pup Leo on Clan Puppy Crusades for just over a month. When we first met Tammie, we could instantly tell how passionate she was about ensuring the dogs had the best time, and even took the time to ensure Leo would be walked with another suitable pup - but importantly her knowledge and patience which we knew was needed for our pup. Leo was quite nervous on walks, and often we couldn’t get him past the end of the street. Since going out with Tammie and the clan, the weekly improvement in Leo confidence is phenomenal! To the point we now struggle to get him back inside... I can’t recommend Tammie enough!
Myself and my boyfriend have recently moved into the area and desperately needed a good dog walker due to the way our shifts worked. We were recommended to Tammie and now we can't recommend her enough! She is absolutley fantastic, takes the dogs great walks, is professional yet very friendly and is flexible for her clients. I even locked myself out the house and Tammie came to the rescue! She constantly goes the extra mile and we both love how active she is on social media, posting pictures of all the dogs playing and running around every walk which is something I've not seen all that often from dog walkers. Our dog gets very excited when we mention Tammie and a few of the other dogs names too! If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, professional, experienced and overall lovely dog walking service, then Clan Canines would be for you!
Benji our miniature Australian Labradoodle has been walking with Clan Canines for two years now. We were a little unsure as to how safe we would feel with someone else taking a rather nervous dog out, but, how wrong were we! Tammie looks after all the dogs so well and he loves meeting up with them so much. It has been the best decision we’ve ever made and we would have no hesitation in recommending Tammie as quite simply the best dog walker in Edinburgh. When I was in hospital for a couple of weeks recently Benji boarded with Tammie and I think he was sad to come home as he clearly enjoyed his time with her. She saved our lives without hesitation and her devotion cannot be faulted.
Clan Canines is absolutely superb!!! Tammie is fantastic and an amazing walker! She walks our dog Mia who absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she gets picked up because she knows she’s in for a lot of fun!! Tammie knows all her dogs so well and really goes the extra mile...we are so pleased we managed to find Clan Canines!
Scott has a natural affinity with dogs and they see him as the pack leader, so obey his commands. Great for the dogs' wellbeing.
Very pleased with the service friendly and the dog loves him to bits, Scott is very good with the dog and reasonably priced highly recommend.
Fantastic dog walking service - Lily and Poppy love their walkies 🐾 with Scott. …
Ruth at PetStay is an absolute legend. Every time I’ve needed to book our toller in she’s linked us up with a wonderful carer (same family every time luckily, our dog loves them). She also linked a family members dog up with a carer a week before our wedding when there were no other options which saved the day. Fab service and can’t praise enough 😊
Could not recommend Petstay or Ruth highly enough. Immediately felt at ease during our first meeting with Ruth and Ann & Les. It is very obvious they love dogs and Max could sense that too as was not bothered when we left him. Regularly updated with photos & videos of his adventures. Max had a ball. He can't wait for his next visit in a few weeks.
Avoid, avoid, avoid. Pet Stay said they could cover a weekend for me. Booked to meet a carer - I had to take a day annual leave because the carer’s availability was so limited. Pet Stay cancelled this at short notice. They then rebooked me with someone else. This was also then cancelled. Spent a month wasting time emailing back and forth in total. This seems like a really disorganised and unreliable company - I’d not trust them with my dog.
No pet sitter availability in EH5/6/7/8/9 Post codes.
Fantastic service, I will be using Petstay for my dogs whenever I’m out of town.
My dogs didn't even want to come home with me, highly recommend!
Laura and Greg have looked after our dog Maisie on numerous occasions and treat her like one of their own. She loves her time with them and we love getting the picture and video updates to see how she’s getting on. Highly recommended - we trust them completely.
Laura and Greg looked after our 2 cats while we were away for 10 days, the updates with photos and videos meant we were able to relax and enjoy our holiday . We would definitely recommend Happy Paws and hope that they will be available to look after the cats when we book next year's holiday
Great service, Laura is absolutely lovely and takes great care of my dog Bernie on walks. He always comes back happy and tired! Would highly recommend
Laura is amazing, she's very loving and considerate of the dogs. Provides a top class service, my dog loved her.
Our dog Bentley goes to doggy day care two days a week and loves it. Cant recommend Midlothian Happy Paws enough.
Great Service from dog friendly and very knowledgeable staff
