Suzanne looked after our dog Buffy since she was 6 months till she was 2 1/2. We are moving out of the area soon and will miss having someone so trustworthy to look after our girl. Our dog adores her and was always pulling the lead towards the house, which made us so happy. Couldn’t ask for more! She communicates brilliantly, is compassionate and just a lovely person all around. Rare find!
Spot On is run with a kind hand & canine orientated hearts! I have been using their boarding services for several years now & judge them by my dogs reaction & returned to me status. My dog is excited as soon as the overnight bag comes out. By the time we are packing up to drop off, he is ready & waiting to get in the car - such anticipation! You may expect a well administered, regulations adhered to set up. A clean & warm home to accommodate your four legged family & a friendly welcome! My dog has always been happy to return & so, therefore, am I. Thoroughly recommended family team making it a home from home experience for your pet!
I have been using Suzanne at Spot On Pet Care now for many years now and I feel compelled to leave feedback as I‘ve just noticed someone had left 1-star feedback. My experience of Suzanne is nothing but polite, very helpful and absolutely professional. She has been taking care of my pets for many years now and I would definitely recommend Spot On Pet Care with complete confidence.
Su and family have provided Dog walking, daycare, holiday stays and emergency cover for my dog for the last 7 years and before that looked after my elderly fragile cat. Their service is fully insured and they adhere to high professional standards. They have a great bond with my pets who really enjoy spending time with them as they are treated like one of the family - a home from home. Spot on were key holders for my house which was so useful when I had to rush away on a family emergency. They were able to collect my dog and all she needed and look after her until I was ready to come pick her up. I tried other companies before I discovered Su and family and this is the best by far.
Spot On Pet Care have been looking after Stanley for over a year now.We used their Dog walking service regularly when Stanley was a puppy and now he attends day care and stays overnight and whilst we holiday! I only have to mention Suzannes name and he is chomping at the bit to get round there. Would Highly recommend anyone wanting home from home care for their doggies.
Phoned up to arrange a stay for my dog. She asked what sort of breed he was and if he was good with other dogs. I answered he is half border collie half golden retriever and that the border collie breed makes him pretty excitable but he is a good boy. She promptly said he wouldn't be a good fit because it was in her home. I can understand not wanting a misbehaved dog in my home. But what she failed to find out was my dog is 9 years old and as sweet as they come. It would have been more professional to maybe arrange a meet and greet. Or to at least find out more about him.
Barney loves going to day care each week and Suzanne takes so much care of him - starting to think he likes Suzanne more than me! He can never wait to get through the gate. Suzanne is very caring and I know Barney is in good hands. I would never dream of sending him elsewhere. All queries are responded to very efficiently. Excellent service all round. Would definitely recommend
We have taken our dog Millie to Suzanne for boarding many times now when we have been away and can not take her with us. She is well cared for in a nice family environment and is always happy to go there. I would recommend Spot On to anyone who wants to know there dog is in good hands when you are away.
Suzanne is always super helpful and reassuring when we are away from home - let’s us know how it’s going with updates - we are 100 percent confident that she cares for our pet like we do - would completely recommend her company services - she does deliver.
Great all round service! Thank you for looking after our dogs and loving them like your own. We are so pleased to have found someone we can trust with our dogs.
Jane has been walking Doris for sometime now she is extremely reliable and trustworthy and always goes above a beyond. Doris adores her which means a lot to me. You can tell by the interaction she has with your dog that this is not just a business for her. I have no problem in recommending her.
Ive used a number of Dog Nursery's as I have to travel a lot for work. I can honestly say this is one of the best I've come across.I would recommend them to anyone. And more importantly my Border Terrier 'Fras' loves it!
Our dog Charlie is really well looked after by Jane and unlike a lot of day cares we've used before, she goes the extra mile by sending pictures during the day so we know Charlie's having fun with his friends!
Super friendly, amazingly helpful and our dog was greeted by the lovely Basil! Completely recomend.
I wouldn't trust anyone else to look after my doggy the way that Jane does. She really loves dogs.
The dogs were very happy and well looked after - a real home from home! Thanks, Jane
Lovely friendly reliable service. Trustworthy and good value. Would highly recommend.
Wonderful! Merlin was so happy with you. Thanks so much.
Amazing care and service Thankyou
Jessica was an excellent pet sitter for our cats and rabbits. She took great care of them and made time to give them plenty of fuss too. She also messaged us regularly to let us know how they were. Would definitely recommend.
Julie and Jess have been so amazing looking after our 2 dogs whilst working back in the office. Our dogs absolutely adore Julie and we are so grateful to know someone reliable and caring is checking in on them. It really has put our mind at ease knowing they are being cared for. Thank you so much.
Jessica looked after our cat while we were away. She is a lovely person and took care of him like he was her own. We will definitely ask her to look after our cat again. Thank you Jessica.
Highly recommend jessicas pet care, I have 3 fur babies and I get extremely worried about leaving them but jessica is reliable and instantly made me feel at ease with leaving them in her care. Trustworthy and professional and my 2 dogs and cat love her and that says a lot as they are very fussy bunch!

My dog stayed 10 days at Brookfield Place kennels recently. We're over an hour away and I had looked at oh, so many more local kennels before I found this one. It's small - which I much prefer to the larger ones that seem to run like military camps - and has a relaxed feel. The best thing though? The massive freedom field that they use to exercise each dog. Mine whined when I put him in my car to leave, and came back absolutely desperate to spend as much time as possible outdoors. I'd forgotten to pick up a couple of his items and they were very kindly posted to me. I don't need to use kennels too often but I'd absolutely take the 75 minute drive there again.
This was Beryl's first stay in kennels and she seems to have had a great time! She was well cared for and totally relaxed on pickup. She's already booked in for a few weeks time. Highly recommend.
Thank you Brookfield Kennels, our puppy Joe just had his first experience away from home and seems to have been very happy with his 5 day stay.. We also took the opportunity to have him groomed while he was there and he came home looking very smart and tidy. We will happily book him in again later on this year knowing it’s a nice happy environment for him to stay in. Thanks again for looking after our boy.
We won't be using this kennels again. The last weekend we left our St Bernard in their care, he had not been fed for the three nights he was there. We know because we supplied his own food and it had not been touched. He came back stressed and very agitated, it took a whole week to get him calmed down again. On top of that, when we went to collect him, they could not find his lead, which wasn't a cheap one, but one especially for big dogs, so someone must have known that they had the wrong lead, and we were given no recompense for the loss. Georgia had always been good with him, but she said she didn't work that weekend and therefore any fault was down to the weekend staff !!! I helped to put out a fire in the stable block there some years ago, and this is the karma we get. I would give zero stars if I could, but one thing is for certain, we will NOT be going there again.
Welcoming and genuine on being greeted by the owner. Made a fuss of our daft pooch which she loved and the freedom field is perfect to burn her energy off.
The staff here are amazing, Georgia was so patient and calm and reassuring. We were a bit reluctant to put Jake our 15 year old Jack Russell (who had never been in kennels before) and our reactive greek rescue Rocky in kennels but the set up is so good with the freedom field and best of all Rocky could get straight out to the field from his kennel without anyone having to put him on the lead. Georgia set us a text message update and we really felt we didn't need to worry. When we came to pick them up they were both so happy. I would definitely recommend Brookfield Place to anyone considering it, even if your dog can be difficult or reactive. It's so great to know we have Georgia close by if we ever need to leave the boys again.
We left our pooch for the first time in nearly 4 years so a little apprehensive of course. We were met by a lovely lady who Marshall took to straight away so we left feeling ok but still a little apprehensive. The whole set up is amazing. People, horses, dogs and open ended land!! He’s not a small dog and very excitable and pretty lively but he’s a big softie and loves cuddles. We came back 11 days later to a super happy hound who looked fabulous!! He’s was shiny happy and looked like he’d had just as good a holiday as us with his peanut butter treats even though he did destroy some balls…sorry! 😂 I would 100% recommend this doggy hotel to even the shyest of dog and Marshall will be back very soon. We can’t thank you enough!!
I go to the Freedom Field weekly and it's absolutely fantastic for my boys to run around without worry. I'm very impressed with how the field is kept, with longer and shorter grass for them to play in and water readily available. It's a good price and allows the freedom my dogs deserve without the worry.
Been a couple of times and my dog loves it, it's also very secure and grass kept a good length, however it is a bit confusing to find if you have never been there before and whoever uses it prior leaves alot poop so i do spend alot of the time picking some up otherwise she walks in it but other then that lovely large field for a good sprint.
Perfectly safe space to exercise your dog in safty in pleasant surroundings.
This is the first time that we have used Oven Green Kennels. We have an old German Shepherd who we love dearly. The owner of the previous kennels, that we had been using, had suddenly retired and we were left phoning around trying to find another 'good' kennels. Right away from the first telehone contact, I had a positive feeling. When we dropped our dog off, I was impressed by the friendly reception. The owners showed us where he would be staying. Everything was clean, spacious and well organised, They were also happy to spend time with us, talking about his dietery needs and giving us a detailed insight into how they look after the dogs in their care. This morning we collected our dog after a two week stay. He was clean and happy and not trying to make a run for the door, as he had done at some other kennels. We are overjoyed that we have discovered Ovens Green Kennels. They really are exceptionally good!
Our dog George just spent 2 weeks in the care of Ovens Green Kennels and was looked after extremely well. He's come home tired, as he always does from kennels (up all night chatting 😁). We also booked a groom for when we collected him, and it's probably the best we've seen his coat, thank you. One happy dog, very happy owners. Thank you to all who helped look after him.
My dog had a fantastic time here over the weekend. Staff are both friendly and efficient. Looking forward to the next time I go away, happy in the knowledge that my dog is happy and well cared for.
Our dogs have been staying with Karen and Dean for years now. Fantastic service and always willing their best to fit you in. Kennels are modern and lovely. I wouldn't take my dogs any where else. We actually travel over an hour to use Ovens Green kennels. Keep up the good work guys x
Brilliant have used them before and have a family room for my 3 older dogs which they loved as very fussy and now they have a day care facility as well not to mention a grooming palour, wouldn’t go anywhere else and will be using them again now for my 6 Sheltie’s couldn’t recommend them highly enough fab service.
Great place for your pet to go, be it one day or a week, they are well looked after. Our dog Spirit loves it there. When we have left him there, our minds are at rest as we know we have left him in great hands. We would highly recommend Ovens Green Kennels you won’t be disappointed.
Dean and team, are an absolute pleasure. I have a very anxious, unsociable westie Cross, who I was nervous about handing over, leaving him in a strange place. I didn't need to worry, he loves going each and every week, he is cared for, and comes out looking like he had the best day ever, he gets so excited to see Dean that he now howls in delight... I would highly recommended this Boarding kennel..
Feels like dropping your beloved pet off to friends. Owners without question accommodate your pet's diet/ likes, etc. From the first phone call to multiple stays over the previous few years, Dean, Karen + family have been so very friendly and courteous to us. My pet always leaves here calm (unlike an experience elsewhere years ago). You don't need to look elsewhere. I am so so so happy to have found such friendly and professional care here. You'll also be supporting a local family business. What's not to love?
Have used Ovens Green for a couple of years. My rescue lab had previously been badly treated, but she has always loved going to the kennels. Dean and Karen have been very understanding and patient with her and so I have had no problems leaving her in their wonderful care. Would recommend.
I've used Ovens Green for the last 6 years and would highly recommend them. Karen and Dean were wonderful with our last dog (who use to cry when she had to leave the kennels!!) and have been great with our puppy. Both dogs have always been excited when they arrive knowing the fuss that will be made of them.
We have used Sara a few times now, to look in on our two Shetland Sheepdogs, put down their food and take them out for a short walk in order to relieve themselves. She is so reliable that we feel totally relaxed when we travel away occasionally for full days. She will also text us with an update so we feel doubly comfortable. She even did it on last XMas Day - excellent. We would strongly recommend her. Thanks.
Sara looked after the birds, deer and hedgehogs in my garden, when I went on holiday for a few weeks. What an absolute star she was. Sara came every other day to put fresh water out and food for all the wildlife. There were other dog sitters I contacted who lived closer to me, but they didn’t respond to my call to look after the wildlife. Sara even sent me photos of the birds and let me know the house was safe, whilst we were away. I feel Sara went above and beyond in many ways to ensure everyone had food and fresh water. And she is a lovely woman too. I highly recommend Sara and her services.
Sara did a great job looking after our dog and house whilst we were away for a week. Before we left she took the time to have a walk with us so that she knew the dog’s daily routine which was much appreciated. When we were away she communicated well, even sending some lovely photos of our dog having fun, which gave us peace of mind that he was in safe hands. I would definitely recommend Sara to anyone needing a similar service.
Having Sara look after our two dogs was perfect from start to finish. She met us and the dogs before the booking and all aspects of their care was covered. Whilst we were away she sent us regular pics and videos of the dogs. She was very tidy and respectful of everything in the house and the dogs adored her. From start to finish the whole booking was great. I would unhesitatingly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.
Sara is a fantastic dog walker/sitter. We have a rescue dog who's nervous with new people and she was really patient and attentive with him. We've had her do multiple dog walks now and booked her to dogsit for our wedding. Fantastic service and prices. Would 100% recommend!
Sara is extremely efficient and before her first time in charge took many notes regarding my two labradors and cat so that I felt very confident leaving her in charge of them whilst away. They were obviously very comfortable with her - which considering one of them is very nervous was a great bonus too. I can highly recommend Sara if you are looking for someone to look after your dogs (and cats!)
Sara looked after my two dogs at my house while we were away for 6 days. She was very respectful and left the house clean and tidy. Cannot fault the whole process. Very professional and I’m sure the dogs loved it to
Sara has been a great help for the last few months. Walking our highly energetic dog, she’s met his needs brilliantly. Great communication and lovely photos as well as a brilliant degree of flexibility. She’s always happy to help. Thank you Sara
My little Jess loves her outings she has about once a week... Me and my shadow are excellent
At last l can keep appointments without worrying about my little dog at home as Sarah has popped into my house to collect Dolly and take for a walk. My puppy was relaxed with Shadow with the added bonus of Sarah helping me with lead training. She will be coming back soon. A very valuable ,friendly service.
Steve and Gill do a great job. Our dog is so happy when he stays with him and gets very excited when we pull onto their drive. No minus points at all!
The best service I’ve ever received for my dog. Steve and Gill treat my dog as if it were their own. FIRST CLASS !!!!
Excellent, affordable and friendly! My dog loves his visits!
Fantastic service. Great people. Happy pets?... Definitely.
Superb. Lovely couple who enjoy looking after your pets and do it well.
Our dogs absolutely love going to Steve's Happy Pets!
