Paul was an excellent pet sitter! He was easy to communicate with and Henri clearly enjoyed his time with Paul! He was near and tidy and watered my plants as requested. Totally 100 percent recommend Paul!
Lorraine is so lovely and clearly adores her girls Bella and Sasha, she was very welcoming when we went to meet her and the girls. She left very clear instructions and insights to their personalities and likes and dislikes which was so very helpful as Bella and Sasha are 2 very different Characters. The house is comfortable and in a nice quite area close to the city with very good public transport links. It was an absolute pleasure sitting for Lorraine, Bella and Sasha
I had such a fantastic sit with Jacqui’s girls Flossie and Uggy! I had never been to Bristol before and absolutely loved exploring. Jacqui’s big and beautiful home is in a fantastic location and everything is very walkable in the city. Jacqui is super helpful in understanding her home and where everything is. She gave advice and helped me connect with the neighborhood so I would have a backup if needed (though I didn’t!). Flossie and Uggy are both beautiful and sweet girls. Uggy is very sweet and warmed up to me over a few days, but generally perfected her own space. Flossie is a vivacious gal and regularly wanted attention and company. They both have specific diet plans, but it was hardly any trouble. Flossie is especially keen on treats so that helped her eat more! I would gladly come back and look after these lovely ladies again.
What a lovely peaceful sit with this pair! A little nervous/excited to begin with but two seconds later they're cuddling up with you on the sofa. Fell in love with Tosh & Perez from the get go. Tosh is active and likes to get as close to you as she possibly can, Perez is a little more reserved and snoozed in the kitchen a lot but is glued to your side on walks or on the sofa. Comfortable going off the lead with no other dogs around as they tend to just linger around you anyway. Elspeth & John were very kind and welcoming, accommodating a visit beforehand to show me the ropes. The house was comfortable and clean with everything you could need including homemade jams to choose from! I miss the dogs already :)
Our sit in Bath minding Rocky and Miko was very pleasant. We met Charlotte and Paul in person prior to the sit and communication was good with thorough written instructions left. The house is comfortable and well located with a lovely deck and garden. Rocky was fun company and we enjoyed lots of walks and play time. There are lots of great places to walk nearby in the hills, along the canal, river and fields. Miko was content as long as she was fed and has quite an appetite for a small cat. Can recommend.
Alexandra could not have made us feel more welcome or comfortable in her beautiful home. Looking after Rita was fun and we loved exploring the area. Thanks for giving us the honour, trust and joy of looking after your home. And Rita!
Cute,cosy flat with two darling kitties. Location is full of history and I loved the town so much, I've made several trips back to experience it again.

Michelle of Reservoir Dogs Rutland looked after three rather bouncy dogs one afternoon for me (some six hours) in my own home, and which also involved her walking them separately. I have every confidence in her ability to manage dogs, and she spoke lovingly about each of the dogs and their different characters on our return. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services and will certainly use her again when needed.
Michelle has been great with my two dogs. One being a lively puppy. Always helps at very short notice if I get stuck. Gives them lots of attention and care. We are very lucky to have her help us out. Thank you.
Michelle was fantastic. She took excellent care of my parents 2 labs over 5 days during my wedding in Barrowden. It was a home from home. Thanks Michelle.
Michelle has done a fabulous job of sitting our two Spaniels - She's taken a real interest and care with Dylan who is Bind and has separation anxiety Really happy to recommend and now using on a regular basis Reliable, trustworthy and goes the extra mile
Michelle is excellent with my dog and so caring. Very reliable and professional. Very lucky to have found her. Many thanks
Very accommodating to my needs (please excuse the pun), flexible, and professional. The cattery is really clean, scrupulously maintained, and a quality build. Most impressive for me is that they look after my cat based on his needs, and he needs a lot of contact and affection. He is always calm and happy when I pick him up so I know he has been looked after. With heated units that face inwards, there is no other cattery where I would want my pet to be when he is not at home. Very reasonable price for the service too. highly recommended.
We have used Valley View on a regular basis for our cat Shadow. They are always so very friendly and accommodating and as the owner is an ex-veterinary nurse, we know he is very well looked after. Also very flexible and reasonably priced. Cannot recommend highly enough.
A lovely place to leave your cats safe in the knowledge that they will be looked after and fussed! I was shown where my cats would be staying and was assured that they would be treated like their own. Collection was easy and my cats were relaxed and happy.
Cats were looked after very well .
Super service !! Will definitely use again. Update Aug '23 Still an excellent service. Chrissie and Cara couldn't do enough for us. 5 Stars.
This is business and as such £ seemed to be the main priority not the cats. Wouldn't allow me to pick cat up outside of opening hours even though the owner lived on site and it was only 6:30pm. Left me distraught worrying that something had happened. Would not recommend.
Very good cattery, very clean and tidy good price and the lady there was very friendly .will be using again for future holidays
Was shown round the Cattery was very impressed with everything i saw clean and attention details second to none.
Christine and John are wonderfully caring to all cats in their care. Highly recommended.
I would highly recommend this place top care top people . See you in April!
Sarah offers a reliable service and is extremely flexible to every need. Due to work commitments I would change my days regularly and this was never a problem for Sarah. Plus our dog went through a difficult humping stage and Sarah was nothing but understandable and offered her help at all times. Our dog is now back to his normal self and this through the help of Sarah and her other colleague Leia. She regularly updates me through pictures and a quick message to keep any worries at bay. I met Sarah in the village and when she first did a home visit knew she was right for Trigger, very experienced with dogs and highly recommended.
Our little man "Eric" gets excited if we even mention Sarah's name! Sarah is reliable, trustworthy, professional and fun, we would recommend her pet care services to anyone.
Fabulous service from Sarah, always looks after my girls so well. Takes them on great walks, they go to different places on a regular basis and they get to interact with other dogs so great for socialisation. Sarah is always there when I need her, even when I need to add a date at the last minute or make a change. I would highly recommend Sarah for one off or regular walks.
Sarah offers a reliable, professional and trustworthy service. She has never let me down and has become more than just my dog walker. Sarah is one of the few people I trust completely with my boy, and Reggie absolutely adores her. In fact he can’t get in that van quick enough! Reggie has benefitted from joining the group walks, his socialisation and behaviour has improved, all thanks to Sarah.
We have used Sarah's Pet care service for the past year to look after and feed our cat when we have been away. She offers a very reliable and professional service which we happily recommend. She provides regular updates while we are away.
Sarah does a fabulous job pet sitting our dog and cats whilst we are on our holidays. Regular updates with cute piccies make it a stress free time, knowing they are being loved and cared for. Coming back home to happy furries, makes me a happy owner. We would highly recommend Sarah's Pet Services � Xxx
Sarah is brilliant with our 2 puppies they love going to her they always come back happy and are always happy to see her
Our dog Stanley stayed with John for 5 days, 4 nights recently. We cannot express our gratitude enough in what a positive effect he and his wife along with their dog Buster have had on our Stanley. He can be a nervous dog and John instantly put him and us at ease. We could enjoy our holiday knowing Stanley was in safe hands. On returning we came back to a very happy dog who had even improved in his nervousness/barking. I have no reservations recommending Barker & Waggs and we will continue to use them. We are also adding a weekly group walk for Stanley to continue his socialisation skills. Outstanding friendly service.
Fantastic service. John has got to know Humphrey our spaniel and wants to make sure he has a lovely walk with friends. Barker and Waggs are very reliable and caring. Humphrey is dried when he's home from a wet walk. I really recommend Barker and Waggs.
We were nervous to send our springer spaniel to doggy day care as she can be a timid dog and has never done anything like it before, but we needn’t haven’t worried… John took the time to meet us a few days beforehand which really put our minds at ease and it was clear to see that she had a brilliant time with her new pals! Would 100% recommend. Thank you John!
Barker & Waggs helped us out at short notice 18 months ago and there has been no looking back. The excitement at pick up, is the surest sign that our dog is as happy as can be. We are continuously grateful. If there were 11 stars, we would gladly press those. Thank you and absolutely no hesitation in recommending Barker & Waggs to any doggie or human.
Our dog has been with John twice a week for over two years and it was the best thing we ever did. Couldn’t ask for a better service/ development / care and attention for our dog. Would recommend!
John is lovely and my dog adores him. Efficient service and totally trust worthy! My little pug baby is in safe hands and while I’m out at work I know she’s running the fields, not shut in at home. Life saver! Recommend!
Incredible service. Gets to know the dog, and takes time to understand their needs. Dave looks forward to his walks and is worn out when he comes home ! So happy to have found Barker and Waggs!
My springador has lots of energy and a Barker and Waggs walk usually wears her out for the rest of the day. Great walks and you can tell by the reception that the dogs love them!
First class service all round, thank you Barker & Waggs, Salty loves his time with you - all very professional and caring - would thoroughly recommend
Happy Hounds Uppingham is such a great, safe, happy, caring place for your pup to attend. My Ronnie-Roo loves it and comes back so happy and tired after a fun day at Happy Hounds. You know exactly what they have been up to during the day along with photos via an App and can book online too. Nicola the owner is dedicated to the business and understands your love for your pup and leaves you totally reassured that your pup is well cared for. The added bonus of a pick up and drop off service is great to. I fully recommend Happy Hounds Uppingham.
If you want the peace of mind that your loved doggies are cared for to a 5 star standard, then I highly recommend Nicola and her company, Happy Hounds Uppingham. My doggies are sitting by the door waiting for her to turn up on their doggie day care dates. They leave the house without even a backward glance for mum! My dogs are so so happy to go to doggie day care. The attention to detail is first class. You could not wish for a better, kinder, more caring place than Happy Hounds of Uppingham. Highly, highly recommend.
Amber has been going on her group walks with Nicola, for a few weeks now, for companionship since losing our other dog very suddenly. Amber absolutely loves going out with all of her new friends! Nicola has made the whole process so seamless and easy for us since my initial enquiry and has been very accommodating with any requests, extra walks added in, as well as rearranged/cancelled walks due to vet appointments etc. We absolutely love getting the report on the app after each walk and seeing the photos of how much she enjoyed herself! I couldn’t recommend more! 🌟
What an amazing company. Nicola and her team are so dedicated and my pup can’t wait for “playgroup”. Pics are before, waiting for the van, and after 🐾 …
We are so lucky to have Happy Hounds - the most perfect doggy day care! Nicola and her team have thought of every detail - from the jolly morning pick up to a full day of play and fun ( including photos and updates) to the warm and friendly drop off at the end of the day. The dogs are so happy and well cared for - it makes me want to be a Happy Hounds dog in my next life.
Amazing service! Came to meet our dogs first to get to know them and then provided an excellent visit and walk for them. Couldn’t ask for more, thank you
First class in every way, very attentive to our dogs needs and our requests. If our dogs could choose a person to be walked or boarded by they would most definitely be choosing Nic from Happy hounds and we would not choose anyone else. Fantastic array of doggie services from a person who truly loves and cares for your dogs. Mark.
Was fab, dogs loved her and will definatly use her again
Excellent service, second to none, never in safer hands, would highly recommend 👌 …
Incredible
Rachel was amazing and always so helpful! a really genuinely lovely person who cared so much about our dog. Reasonably priced and she did an amazing job helping our nervous spaniel get over her anxiety around other dogs. I couldn’t recommend her more! Thankyou so much Rachel for all your help! 🐶❤️ …
Rachel is a very kind lady who truly cares for your pets. My usually very nervous schnauzer LOVED her immediately. She is very professional and on time. Her service is affordable and she is very loving and responsible with your pets. I have three pets, and having her care for our dogs overnight, walk them and feed them was much more affordable, and more personal, than if we were to take them to dog boarding. My dogs really do prefer to stay at home, rather than be carted off to a strange house with other dogs. When we arrived back home, it was if we had never left. Our house was clean, our dogs(and cat) were happy, and we could rest assured that all was in order. I will definitely give Rachel a call before our next holiday.
Rachel is a great find! We have been using her for about a month as we start thinking about longer term return to work outside of the home. Our puppy is 7 months old and very nervous. Rachel currently walks her as a solo walk twice a week. Rachel has been kind and patient and clearly demonstrates both her knowledge of dog behaviour and her love for dogs. Dave (the puppy!) responds so well to her when she arrives which is amazing after just a few sessions. With a full service of day and holiday stays offered this is a great flexible offer that you can tailor make to you and your pet's needs A highly recommended service.
Excellent, my dog loves Rachel. She’s quick to respond and is flexible for short notice changes. Really cares.
Rachel is an excellent fully qualified dog walker and sitter. She always arrives on time , never lets me down and the dogs love her. She is good value and always goes the extra mile to help us. She has helped with our cockapoo’s behaviour as she has been very nervous during lockdown. She has given lots of tips and coaching to us to help with our dogs. She has stayed at our house when we have been away and been extremely helpful and flexible. The dogs enjoy their walks with her and she is the best dog walker and sitter in this area.
Rachel looked after our animals so well and with such love. She’s very professional in her approach to pet care and we will book again next time go away. Thank you.
Rachel was a lucky find as I was stated back to work and I couldn’t take my dogs out she got us out of a hole and I would recommend her to anyone else especially with the climate being the way it is now if you’re stuck at work and you need a helping hand she’s always there to help.
Unable to offer me an appropriate time slot, but Rachel was friendly and efficient
Thank you You have a lovely dog
Anna is an absolute wonder of a dog walker and carer. We like to walk our dog ourselves but when work gets in the way Anna picks Pebble up and takes her out on one of her group walks. Pebble loves the walks and is always so excited to see Anna, she gets great socialisation and off-lead time. Anna has also had Pebble to stay over night, Pebble is a bit of a fussy girl but we had no worries at all leaving her with Anna. We knew she'd be cared for, loved and "part of the family" with Anna. Anna sends videos and photos whenever she is with Pebble so we know she's being well looked after and she's always quick to reply offering great service and peace of mind.
My pup absolutely loves going for walks with Anna! So trust worthy and always thinks of the dogs. Very kind and friendly. Here’s a photo of Rosie looking out the window as soon as she sees the van
Anna is great with my 4 dogs. Pops in 5 days a week to check all ok and let them out in the garden. In 16 years of having dogs I’ve never relied on anyone to help so this was a big thing for me. Anna is reliable, trustworthy and genuinely lovely . So glad I found her 😊 …
I used Anna's pet taxi service twice while staying in Oakham and couldn't rate her highly enough. She managed to fit in with the times I wanted to go out, kept me well informed of ETAs on both return journeys, was extremely friendly and chatty, and her love of animals shone through with her treatment of my little furry charge. Highly recommended!
Anna is simply amazing. Megan adores her. Anna is prompt, kind to Megan’s needs and always has an extra cuddle to give. We consider ourselves very lucky to have her in our lives.
Anna takes great care of my dog Fenn. She is friendly, reliable and pays attention to detail. She communicates to let me know he is O.K. while I am at work which I really appreciate. I highly recommend Rutland Rovers.
Great dog walking service and group walks My Nessa loves her time out with Anna caring knowledgable and fun trustworthy. And knows her stuff . Highly recommend X x
Anna’s love on animals is so apparent when you meet her. She’s professional, helpful and my dog love her and gets really excited for her walk.
I literally couldn’t appreciate her anymore for what she does for my dog. His been through a lot and the time and patience she has considering he is not an easy dog is heart warming ! Highly recommend
Anna us a very realible lady and my dog loves her! Highly recommended service, thanks Anna! ☺️
