Sam and Ben provided a great house sit for us. In the beginning, they sought to understand our expectations and the specific needs of our pets. They were responsive while we were away and provided updates on the dogs. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. Highly recommend and would have them back anytime.
Peace of mind. That’s what we had when we were out of the country for a few month. Jo & Monroe arrived one-day early, which gave us enough time to show them our routine. They wrote down every little detail and really took care of everything. My cats needed some supplements twice a day and were given raw food, which takes more time than canned food. Jo & Monroe were very thoughtful, kind, detail oriented and responsible. The communications were excellent before and during the sit. I received tons of pics of my tigers, which made my heart smile. When we came home, the cats looked very relaxed and happy and the house was spotless.

Collins K9 is absolutely brilliant! Jack and Jade go above and beyond to make sure our dog is well looked after and keep us in the loop with pics and videos throughout the day. Our pup has been to a few doggy day cares but has always come back a little stressed and not himself. When he returns from Collins K9 he is really happy and totally exhausted after big runs with their lovely dog Freddie. HIGHLY recommend Collins K9.
Spock was staying with Jade for almost 2 years whenever I had to be at work, and it was an amazing home away from home for him! He was always treated as a part of family, having great time and despite his separation anxiety always happily stayed with Jade and Jack! We went through a few doggy daycares and Collins K9s was the best place! If you're looking for reliable and friendly place for your pooch look no further!
Our greyhound Beau stays with Jade and Jack every Tuesday for daycare and also if we are ever away for a trip. He LOVES going over there- his tail starts wagging as soon as we get to the stairs and he comes home exhausted every time! We know he gets treated as part of the family whenever he is there and is well looked after and cared for. I highly recommended Jade and Jack for anyone looking for a loving home for their pooch to stay!
Jade & Jack provide 24 hour care for my cocker spaniel ‘Sandy’ as & when needed. Sandy is always happy for me to leave her there & has lots of fun with the other dogs & playing with the children too. They send regular updates which is great.
Pip had a great time. We received regular updates and Collins K9 were very supportive and, as we were away during bonfire night, arranged an Introductory afternoon stay to help Pip get more familiar with the new surroundings. Was great to see Pip develop a bond with the pack at Collins K9 - will certainly use again.
Jade is a exceptional dogsitter, very experienced and knowledgeable, she really cares about the dogs and she’s also great at communicating with the pet owner. My little one loved her! I really recommend her services. Y it
Can not fault Collins K9s service. Have used them several times to look after my dog. Would not use anyone else. Really look after your dog and great value for money. Highly recommended them.
A reliable and lovely home away from home for my pup. Recommend to all my friends and family , can always relax knowing Collins k9 are a loving and friendly home.
Roofus my husky stays with Collins K9s every Friday. He’s always such a happy boy when he gets home. 5 stars!
Had a great experience with Collins k9s. A lovely dog loving family that take great care of my pup. Definitely recommend!! Xx
We leave our lovely Cocker Spaniel (with plenty of character) with Ace and Bunny half a dozen times a year, each time for about a week. It feels like leaving our Pooch with a family member. We are completely relaxed and not worried about a thing. Poochie absolutely loves it over there, and as I drop him, he literally runs the last few hundred metres, super excited to see Ace and Bunny. After a week-long stay at Ace & Bunny's, our Poochie comes back fit, energetic, and even better looking than when we left him. To have this comfort of mind is absolutely priceless. We are lucky to have Ace and Bunny!
We found you very professional and can see why you’ve been recommended to us from several dog walkers we bump into during the week. Highly recommended.
Absolutely fabulous! We've used Ace n Dogs several times and have been very happy with the service and care of our little Millie Munchkin. Natasha & Ryan are always great about giving updates and lots of photos! Millie has a fun filled day and has made lots of new doggy friends. Millie was shy her first few visits but now she can't wait to go back. Scheduling and payment is super easy, we just can't put a price on Millie being so well cared for while we are at work - We're very satisfied and will continue to use Ace n Dogs.
Lovely doggy care. They had a busy slot and my review has changed after a swift reply back. Timon, our dog, is already there and seemed very happy at drop off. Thanks for the quick u-turn after my initial disappointment, Ace and Natasha. Edited from: I really liked them when I went to see them. They take great care of your lovelies. However, ai have sent text messages, called, have been told to send another text message and still Ace hasn't come back. If we are not a good fit just say so or maybe they are simply too busy. Guess, I will never know... hence 3 stars only.
My little dog charlie had been with acendogs since 3 months of age. Charlie loves going. Taught him how to socialise with all types of dogs. Taught him to share which has played a massive role in his personality. Natasha and ace have been very good to charlie They took charlie on as their own. I will highly recommend their services Through out the day we kept updated with our dogs whereabouts. Affordable andwell worth it
Our dogs other family
First time i use dog walker and ll be not the last. Ben is professionnal, on time and very kind ! Exelent !!!
Best Dog Walker ever!
We had the fortune to meet Mark and Eddie through a web search of doggy daycares. This family run business is a delight. We were staying in London for two weeks and needed someone close to our Airbnb who could take our dog Ralph for several days as we did not want to leave him at an Airbnb while sightseeing. Marc and Eddie met us the day after we arrived, and immediately put our minds at ease, not an easy thing to do since I tend to be a rather over protective dog, mom! They were very helpful and informative both about the area and about things we could do with and without our dog. Even though we gave them very short notice, they did their best to accommodate us, enabling us to roam “dog free”. We came back from our day trips to find a happy, relaxed dog, who had clearly been well taken care of and pampered. As we plan to return to London, Just Tails will certainly be in our contact list for future trips. Thank you Mark and Eddie!
Jamie looked after my puppy Morty and he had the best time! Jamie was punctual and communicative, and great with my pup - would recommend!
Jamie looks after my 2 cats when I am away and I 100% recommend him as a petsitter. He is reliable, sends me pics and updates and just all around a lovely human!
Jamie is really professional in his work and clearly has a great passion for animals. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Absolutely fantastic service and the loveliest chap! My miniature Daschund always has the best time going and I couldn’t recommend highly enough. Thanks !
I can’t rate the Dog In Black team highly enough! I’ve been using them every week for over a year now for my Border Terrier & large Lurcher for dogs walks, they’re always great communicators, send updates with pictures & have never let me down. I have also recently used them twice for home stay / house sit care & both times they were great & I know the dogs were much happier being looked after in their own home. Highly recommend the wonderful Dog In Black team!
Ruby was so professional with my puppy, the whole service from dealing with admin to keeping me updated with times of pick up and drop off. I got pictures during the day and this made me so happy as I knew my puppy was in safe hands. I look forward to having them take care of her once a week. To boost her socially and grow in confidence with other dogs. I would would definitely recommend 👌
Dog in Black and in particular Cihan are a real find. My dog is a rescue and finding the right person to look after her is quite challenging. Cihan spent enough time getting to know and understand her allowing him to tailor his care perfectly to her needs. Working with Dog in Black is a joy I would recommend them to anybody who needs good dog care. Thank you
Absolutely wonderful service from Dog in Black for a number of years now. My Labrador Ted has been walked by them 3-4 times a week for at the last two-three years. The carers over that time have always been fantastic, very communicative and clearly experienced and dog lovers in general. For anyone interested in more of the details, for the standing arrangements where your pup is walked 3-4 times a week on similar/the same days they aim to have the same carer do all of their walks. Its a great setup which means that my dog builds a great relationship/bond with the walkers. Special shoutout to Becky, Alana, Louise and Madika who have all at various times been Teds primary walker and have always done an amazing job. They send you lovely updates after the walk every day, and when you're having a bad day in the office its always nice to get a few pictures/videos of your dog out there living his best life. They have always been very flexible and quick to respond on the administrative side and I really have nothing but good things to say about them. Thanks to all of the team and I look forward to many more years of one seriously happy and tired Labrador when I get in from the office.
Very friendly and helpful - the dog walkers seem professional, totally on their best game and love their job. Their advice/training seems great - would totally trust and recommend
Arnie had an absolutely wonderful time at Dog in Black doggy daycare. His carer Louise was very sweet and reassuring and sent us updates on how he was doing. The entire Dog in Black team are incredibly helpful and flexible, always trying their best to accommodate your needs. They are a pleasure to deal with and we'll definitely be using their services again!
Highly recommended! My two dogs, Finn and Aoife, have been doing daycare and walkies with Dog In Black for close to 2 years now. It has been a great experience, all of the carers have been polite, friendly and are fantastic with the dogs. They both get so excited to go out with the carers and always come back nice and tired, ready for an afternoon snooze. Really wonderful experience all round!
Thank you so much for always taking such good care of my doggy. The best carers. My doggy loves being pet-sit by Dog in Black. They are so accommodative to last minute schedules. Very responsible, I feel so relaxed because they always update with pictures. The best pet-sitters in East London. Can’t recommend them enough. Special thanks to Alana and Louise for always supporting us. Alana is a star! My doggy has finally loved being pet-sit and now she excitedly waits for her doggy adventure with Alana. Thank you to all the other pet-sitters too who have always taken such good care of my little one.
Having seen the care and attention that Dog in Black have for dogs of all sizes, breeds and backgrounds, we did not hesitate to book our pup in with them. We had concerns as our pup is a little bit hyperactive but we need not have worried. We had regular updates throughout the day and our pup arrived back with a big smile on his face having loved his day out. I cannot recommend Dog in Black high enough and will be continuing to use them in the future.
Our puppy absolutely loves going to his adventure pup day care! We have noticed how much more independent he has become in only a few weeks. We really appreciate the flexibility, you are able to book as many days as you like which really fits into our work pattern. We’ve also found it really valuable to get professional feedback on a weekly basis (the training done during doggy daycare is also a little bonus) Couldn’t do without them now!
Our miniature dachshund (Albie) has been cared for by Tara (and Rupert!) for well over 6 months now and we couldn’t be happier! She’s been fantastic at helping train Albie to bark less - he can be a noisy little soul but he’s much better than he was thanks to Tara! We both work long (and often erratic!) hours and we really appreciate the flexibility that Tara gives us with late evening pick ups! We worry about his little dachshund back and Tara is fantastic at making sure he uses their bespoke ramp instead of jumping from great heights! She was also instrumental in helping us sort out his food allergy problems! Most importantly it’s a relief to leave Albie with two people who genuinely love and care for him - they’ve really taken time to get to know his little personality and will let us know if he’s not his usual self. Every time we leave Albie in Tara’s care we know that he’ll be a safe (and happy!) doggie and we absolutely love the photo (and video!) doggie updates through the day!
Tara provided a fantastic service looking after my dog at short notice for the working day, and then taking him for an hour's walk the next day. He's not usually that keen on new people, but she'd made such a lovely bond with him that he was more than happy to go for a walk! Didn't look back! She provided plenty of reassuring photos that he was safe and comfortable, and she couldn't have done any more to ensure his wellbeing. She clearly knows dogs! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tara to anyone that needs a professional and knowledgeable service.
Jade’s service is perfectly professional & faultless, couldn’t recommend more highly. In our case, she gives once-a-day visits to our cat when we’re away. Was understandably hesitant about giving my keys to a stranger, but my worries were alleviated from the first meeting. Look no further if you’re looking for a local pet sitter.
Jade is so lovely and great with our little cat. She was able to help us at short notice and sent us regular pics and videos to reassure us. She is excellent value for money. We will definitely be using her again. A fantastic service for pet owners on the Isle of dogs. Thank you Jade.
Jade, my cat sitter, was absolutely wonderful. She took care of my feline friend with such love and attention. Her sweet and calming voice instantly put my cat at ease. Jade went the extra mile to make sure my cat felt comfortable and loved while I was away. I could tell my cat was well taken care of and happy upon my return. I highly recommend Jade for anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter. Thank you, Jade, for taking such great care of my fur baby!
We are so lucky to have found Furry Friendz! We have used the service three times now. Jade is a reliable, professional cat sitter and we have been blessed since she started caring for our baby when we are away. Our cat is very shy and does not like to have other humans around apart from us. After only one day Jade started taking care of her, she immediately warmed up! Jade sends regular updates when she makes the visits and keeps an open communication, which is really helpful. I highly recommend her, you can’t miss!
Jade took care of our THREE kittens for three whole weeks whilst we were on vacation. Not only did she do a remarkable job, but she exceeded our expectations by performing tasks that we didn't even request of her! Jade is a wonderful professional to communicate with and we are very grateful to have had her taking care of our kittens. Lovely experience, 100% recommend, especially if you're worried about leaving your pets alone!
Jade has been such an amazing cat sitter for our two cats. She has been so good with them and they really love her. We always feel confident that they are happy and well looked after when we are away.
Jade was a brilliant cat sitter, she kept me updated with pictures and messages and gave max lots of attention and cuddles!! Really made a difference knowing max was in safe hands!! Brilliant service
Excellent pet service! Jade is really a professional in caring the pets. We left our cat with Jade and later when we picked up we feel that she was safe here. Jade is very friendly and gentle. I highly recommend her!
Highly recommend- Jade has looked after our kitten a couple of times while we've gone away, and we couldn't be more happy! She's always so attentive and reliable and my cat loves her. I can always trust Jade to make sure my cat is happy while we're away and it makes a difference. Thank you!
Jade looked after our slightly nervous rescue cat when we went on holiday and we came back to find he had made a new best friend! She was super nice when she came round before we went and we went away feeling completely confident that he was in great hands. Really appreciated the daily photo and coming home to a very happy kitty. Will definitely use her services again and would recommend 100%. Jade also very generously watered our plants whilst we were away which was a God send in the heat!
This is the first time I have had Zoey looking after my 2 cats. And myself and my husband would highly recommend her. My 17month old cat is not easy to look after if you are a Stranger, but Zoey had patience and persevered with her. We also had updates.I would use Zoey again and again, lovley lady.
Zoey has looked after all our cats (and fish) for many years now. She is amazing and makes going away so less stressful knowing that our furry family are well cared for. Over this time various cats have needed medications and it’s a relief to know Zoey is fully qualified and has it all under control. As a bonus she also looks after the house, security wise. What’s more to love! Can highly recommend.
Zoey looked after our cats whilst we were away - she's reliable and can be trusted to sort out any issues which arise! Would highly recommend her!
I’ve used Zoey a few times over the past year or so. Always polite and easy to contact. Having the peace of mind, that my elderly cats can stay happy at home is the perfect situation for all. Very good to accommodate even when it’s a little bit short of notice
Zoey took care of our cat during our summer holiday at late notice as our usual cat sitter was unavailable. Friendly, responsive and reliable, I would absolutely recommend her. Thanks Zoey for your help
Anna sat for my cat for 11 days over Christmas and did a great job. I found my cat happy and well fed upon my return, and Anna had followed all my instructions to a tee.
This was our first time having Zoey look after our two cats only having moved to the area a couple of days prior. She was so lovely and sent regular pictures and videos of my boys whilst I was away which I much appreciated as it put my worrisome mind at ease. Despite having initial difficulties with administering medication to one particularly grumpy old man, she was really patient and took her time to work out the best possible method without stressing him out too much. Happy to say I came back to two very happy cats :) I would highly recommend Zoey and we'll definitely be using her again very soon!
Zoey did a fantastic job looking after my cats, after enquiring with another cat sitter to learn her son was 13 and would be looking after my cats I contacted zoey as I wanted someone reliable and professional. I am so happy we found zoey and would highly recommend zoey as I. Will be using her services again
Zoey was great! Our cat Milo was very well cared for and happy and the house was kept secure in our absence. Would definitely recommend - many thanks!
Zoey was fantastic. She clearly loves animals and so you know that your cats are in safe hands. We got regular updates and came home to two very happy cats.
We completed two puppy training courses with our first dog, a very stubborn Shiba Inu, and we were very grateful for the experience. Prior to the course, I had watched lots of dog training videos, thinking I was well-prepared. However, the amount of valuable information and practical skills we learned from the course was incomparable. Kay and Toni were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to each dog's unique needs. They provided hands-on guidance and personalised tips that made a huge difference in our training journey. I highly recommend Wanderpup to anyone!
Wanderpups has been a great help with my puppy who has sever anxiety. Along with the training tips from the classes, I’ve worked with Kay individually to implement a plan to work with my puppy to stop her being as stressed and vocal in public situations. This has helped her become a happier dog as a result, and made me more relaxed when out and about with her. Thank you Wanderpups
I could not say more about how grateful I am to Wanderpups for helping us with our new puppy. To be honest, before these classes we were a bit out of our depth, but with Kay's positive attitude and really helpful advice, we were able to bring home a lovely, confident and well-trained pup!
Wanderpups have been so helpful with our new pup Poppy. Kay is so informative and we’ve seen such fast improvements in Poppy’s training
Very useful and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend these classes
Our pup loves Paws and Pause - she can’t hold her excitement when we drop her off in the mornings! This place has been one of the best decisions we made for her, she has become so comfortable around other dogs and is so tired when back home (which is a sign she’s had lots of fun!). The Paws and Pause team is also so wonderful. They care about the dogs like they are their own: they cuddle, reward and entertain each pup with such care, set up such fulfilling games, and update their instagram stories very regularly (so we can keep track of what pups are up to). They are generally very communicative and accommodating to last minute requests, emails, and even WhatsApps. Thank you to Paws and Pause for making our lives easier and making our pup’s life much more exciting on Wednesdays!
I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with Paws & Pause! My Shih Tzu Gizmo is full of excitement every Wednesday and cannot wait to join her friends at daycare! The team are warm and welcoming, and take care of Giz like she were their own.
A massive thank you to you and your team at Paws & Pause Doggy Daycare! Watson, my 8.5-year-old Goldendoodle, absolutely loves his time with you all. Watson can be a bit of a nervous, grump sometimes, but your staff is brilliant with him. The way they handle him with such care and patience is truly heartwarming. I also can't thank you enough for all the enrichment games and activities you provide. Watson comes home absolutely pooped, but in the best way possible. It's clear he's had a blast and gotten lots of love and attention. Knowing that Watson is in such good hands while I'm at work is such a relief. It's like his own little vacation spot, and I'm almost jealous! So, thank you again for taking such great care of my furry sidekick!
Our lovely girl goes to Paws and Pause twice a week and she loves it! The staff are always friendly and happy to help and they really do have the dog's best interest at heart. She has been coming since she was a 14 week old pup and every evening after her daycare day she is tired and happy. 10/10 would recommend.
Our pooch's favourite place - absolutely wonderful! I'm convinced that is she ever got lost (knock on wood) she would sniff her way back to Paws and Pause and not home! The team go above and beyond to make Paws a happy and enriching place for the dogs, while supporting people facing difficult circumstances. Our pup has been going to this dog school (it really is!) for about 4 months and has loved every second of it. What more can you ask for? Perfect opening hours (8-1830), great booking and payment system, constant video updates on how your pooch is getting on, lovely and professional customer (human) service and a doggy advent calendar - they have it all. I only wish there were more spaces on Wednesdays! ;)
Paws & Pause are amazing 🤩 My little whippet has the best time there every week and always can't wait to go back for more fun and love 🥰 …
Paws and Pause is honestly the best thing I could have ever done for my then puppy and now full grown doggo. She comes home tired after learning new skills and having enrichment games all day. I also really appreciate how socialized my dog has become and how good her understanding of boundaries with other dogs is after being at Paws and Pause for nearly a year. The team is the best and we love how Grace and Jodie have created a space and business with a mission that really means something and empowers others.
Paws and Pause is just wonderful. I first brought my pup to the puppy socialisation course which was brilliant in gently helping my nervous dog to get used to being in the company of, and then playing with, others. Since then she has blossomed into a confident teenager who loves to go to daycare there - she's always enthusiastic when she realises where we are going, and always well looked after when we get there.
Our dog loves it here! A great service, they are always attentive to my dog’s needs as well as helpful when I need advice as a first time owner! He always has a full and busy day of activities and we get to check in on how he's doing throughout the day, which is great and always makes me jealous when I’m stuck in the office! Also a brilliant social enterprise, and an excellent support and addition to the local community.
This place and the team are amazing, my Greyhound is a super anxious guy and he's totally blossomed in just the few weeks that he's been coming here. The socialisation and care that he's recieved has really positively affected him so I would recommend Paws and Pause to any dog owner - especially if you're aprehensive because you have a more anxious dog :) I'd say to just go for it cause the team are great.
