A big thank you to Gill and Clive who did an amazing job looking after our home and Buddy, we came home to a very happy dog and clean house. Could not have asked for more. Highly recommend them to friends and will definitely be asking to house sit when we go away next.
Alexie and Nick are excellent house and pet sitters! They are very reliable and personable, and had good communication before and during their sit of our corgi, Augie. Our home was spotless when we returned and Augie was very relaxed and happy. Our schedules did not allow us to meet before their sit and they were able to enter our home sight unseen, find their room and Augie's food bowl and kibble, and follow home & pet care instructions independently. They invested time ahead of their visit to read our Welcome Guide and ask us questions in advance. I highly recommend these sitters!

My dog has been going here since August 2020, I highly recommend Annas ark pet care, I chose this place due to the amount off area the dog's have to play. Anna and her partner are so friendly, my dog gets so excited to see them that he runs in and doesn't even look back, they treat all the dogs as thier own and are part of thier family. They will ALWAYS try their best to accommodate your needs, nothing is never to much to ask. I highly recommend them, i for sure wil not be taking my dog anywhrre else.
Our boy has been going to Anna’s Ark since he was around 8 months old. He’s grown in confidence since attending and is now so excited in the car when he realises he’s off there for a play. Knowing how nervous I was about leaving him, Anna would send me messages and videos in the early days to let me know how great he was doing and how much fun he was having with the other dogs. Anna, Stu and Helen are so upbeat and positive; genuinely enjoying their jobs, with their love for our pups always apparent. They are happy to offer their advice and support too. Anna has kept in contact when our boy has been poorly; offering her support, love and guidance, which I have found very touching and have very much appreciated.
Anna and Stu are now a huge part of our dogs life! You can see the joy when he’s getting collected for his weekly playtime. They are incredibly caring and always on hand for help and advice. Could not recommend a more caring wonderful dog loving family! You can guarantee you’ll have a happy pup with Anna and Stu ⭐️
Anna's Ark offers a brilliant service. Luna joined the family in 2020, the most beautiful Goldie ever, but due to lockdown procedures, normal socializing was difficult. Going to Anna's sorted the issues, Anna, Stuart & Helen are brilliant with the dogs, treating them as though they are their own. The care and love Luna ❤️ received was second to none. I would highly recommend Anna's Ark. Luna is always excited to go. Thankyou.
Anna, Stu and Helen looked after our dog for over a year and she absolutely loved going there. We received videos from them so we could see how happy she was running around and playing with the other dogs. She was always excited to go every day and we could relax knowing she was happy and well cared for. I think any dog that gets the opportunity to go to Anna's Ark is a very lucky one.
I can't fault Anna's Ark it's our little cockapoo's second home and she absolutely loves it! She's gone to here since she was a puppy and from day one shes loved Anna and the team. Brilliant at communicating and keeping you up to date with things and when we've needed some last minute or extra days they have been brilliant with fitting our pup in (bonus with drop off's and pick ups especially now we have another baby in the family) also Helen being a dog trainer and getting in some lessons to help through the puppy stage helped us out so much! And then the socialising with other dogs at the Ark has done wonders for our girl. Would give more than 5 stars if I could, just can't recommend enough.
My dog has been going to Anna every week day for the last 6 months. Anna and her team are 100% brilliant. I can't thank them enough! They love my dog, and I feel totally happy knowing that he has a brilliant exhaustive time, under the care of people that care for and look out for him. Recently he's been a bit poorly and they've been awesome helping me (practically and emotionally!!). Please don't stop what you do! Love Em and Ron x
Our cockapoo Nelly previously went to another daycare for a half-day trial - she whined and cried the entire four hours she was there and we were told we needed to take her to a doggy psychologist. Turns out, we just needed to take her to Anna’s Ark! Anna worked with Nelly to build up her time spent at daycare gradually and was so patient and loving with her. Nelly now gets so excited when she she realises where we are going. She often doesn’t want to leave Anna, Stu and Helen. The socialising with other dogs has been amazing for her confidence and she greets and plays with dogs so much more calmly and politely now. I could not recommend Anna’s Ark more.
Anna is the best dog sitter ever! She is reliable, trustworthy and punctual and our dog loves her to bits! He has a fantastic time when she has him and comes home absolutely exhausted! He goes into crazy puppy mode every time she comes to pick him up and we know he is safe with her. We work long hours and our son is at school so Anna’s is the perfect place for a chewy Labrador to let off some steam and not eat the whole house! We love Anna and really don’t know how we would manage without her.
From the very first contact Anna was so helpful, fitting Bella our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel of 8 months into her schedule on exactly the day and times needed. I have had so many helpful tips on feeding and nothing is too much trouble. Bella absolutely loves it at Anna’s from her morning welcome cuddle with Stu she enjoys every moment playing with the other dogs at Anna’s Ark coming home tired and happy! I can’t recommend this wonderful place highly enough.
My dog have been going to Coastal kennels for the almost 13 years and I would not send my dogs anywhere else.
My Basset hound goes here numerous times a year and absolutely loves it. My daughter and I have just left 3 dogs for a few days and they have been treated like royalty. I had used different kennels years ago and was very dissatisfied but have no hesitation leaving my old dog here or recommending it to anyone. They really love the dogs and go the extra mile for them.
Benson loved it here! For our first time ever leaving a dog in day care, we could not have chosen a better place. Debbie and her team clearly love their work and take great care of their canine visitors. We are only sorry we don't live closer - but if you live in the area or are visiting the area on holiday, Coastal Kennels gets our vote and you can leave your beloved pet here with confidence and total peace of mind. Thank you for taking such great care of Benson for us!
Absolutely fabulous care for our Puppy, Mollie. Debbie was very keen to find out all about Mollie in terms of her food regime, sleep, exercise needs, favourite toys and her individual needs. From the moment we left Mollie, we felt assured she’d be left in the best possible care and Debbie didn’t disappoint. Mollie was looked after so well, she jumped on Stuart’s knee for cuddles and stayed by Debbies side throughout her time there. We know she had the best time during her stay with lots of photos and updates and we wouldn’t hesitate to bring her back time and again. A fabulous stay!
Monty loves going to stay for his holidays. Always comes back very happy. I would recommend Coastal Kennels to anyone!
Fantastic kennels, they are the only ones that I would trust with my dogs. Highly recommended
Very friendly service and easy to arrange day care whilst we cycled the Tarka trail.
Brilliant service every time. Very friendly staff can't praise enough.
Great service, very friendly and caring staff.
Finally found somewhere we can leave our furbabies and they are happt
We thought having a dog in the throws of adolescence as bridesmaid for our big day was going to be challenging but having Ashleigh there chaperoning her not only made it possible, but made it easy & stress free. From our first contact we felt like Daisy would be in good hands. Ashleigh spent time chatting with us in the run up to the wedding finding out as much as she could about our dog as well as visiting the wedding venue to scope it out. We were able to relax fully knowing that Daisy was covered. I had lots of compliments from my family about how good Ashleigh was with her. Everyone was very impressed! Having a dog wedding chaperone was one of the best things we could have done to help our day go smoothly. Thank you Ashleigh. If I could give you 10 stars I would!!
We cannot praise Whiskers and Tails highly enough. Ashleigh puts so much thought into her work and always puts the animals welfare and development first. Benji always enjoys his walks and is so much more confident and calmer when around others dogs.
Ashleigh went above and beyond when she took care of both our cats. She always updated us to let us know how they were getting on, and took photos to send to us. We could tell how settled and happy they were and when we returned, and they appeared to be very calm and content cats. Thank you! Will definitely call upon you again when we are next away.
Ashleigh is great with our boys. Especially considering one is a younger big dog and the other small and older. So despite then having mixed needs they always come back really satisfied. Ashleigh is really reliable and just lovely to chat with
Clover (my 11 month old Dalmatian) absolutely loves Ashleigh, and I trust Ashleigh completely with Clover. I highly recommend Whisker and Tails to anyone looking for a fantastic dog walker in North Devon.
Ashleigh is so kind, attentive and knowledgeable. She walks our dogs regularly and they love it. I highly recommend her! She is great with all dogs, including rescues with issues.
Brilliant service which our cats adored. So much so they didn’t want us back! Ashleigh provides a flexible service to tailor to your needs. Loved the photo updates while we were away and knowing they were well looked after. Thank you!
Ash is awesome, our dog loves going out with her each week and I know I can fully trust her - she's helped our dog grow and become a confident, bouncy girl!
Ashleigh is fantastic, best decision I made. Would 💯 recommend to anyone looking for a kind, knowledgeable dog walker. …
❤️
My Dog is extremely happy to see the staff at the Kennels. He doesn’t even look back at us when they take him so i know he’s happy and very well looked after. He’s a regular👍 Highly recommend the place …
Faithful Friends looked after our 3 dogs really well for over two weeks whilst we were out of the country. We have booked them in again for an upcoming trip. Good service and they seemed pretty contented
Easy drop off and collection. Staff very friendly and reassuring, I felt very comfortable leaving our two dogs for 12 days. Dogs in great condition when we picked them up, clearly they have been well looked after during their stay. Would definitely use these kennels again and recommend to people looking to board their dogs.
Found the booking process quite confusing as communication was very limited. The actual place was beautiful but someone came out and just took our dog as soon as we pulled up and took him up to the kennels. No questions, didn’t even ask what food he has or anything which made me feel a bit uneasy. They were friendly enough but just quick to just take the dog without a proper booking in process. My dog was extremely stressed when we picked him up but we obviously had no idea if he had actually been walked at any point, what he had been fed or even how often but once he’d been home for around a week he started to settle back in.
Faithful friends is a lovely, well run kennels. I booked my Labrador, Buddy in for a 12 night stay & exchanged a number of emails with Alan about the stay & they were answered quickly & the booking made. I dropped him off in the morning & had no worries about his welfare at all. Professionalism & care for the animals is evident right from my first interaction. I collected him after my holiday & he was in good spirits, pleased to see me, but not desperately pleased that might indicate he'd been stressed, he was in good condition & they'd looked after him very well. I'd have no hesitation in using them again and can highly recommend to others needing to kennel their dogs. A very well run kennel with professional & friendly staff Top marks from me.
Will always use these guys! The dogs never have an issue going here
Not kenneled the dogs there yet but checked it all out and booked them in. Impressed with their approach and professionalism. There's always someone on site 24/7. 30/08/2022 …. Kennelled our three doggies here twice now. Our original positive review stands 100%. Now booked them back in for a weekend in December.
Our dogs have been here several times now and always come back both happy and healthy. It's a great place run by people who love and understand dogs, even the nervous and awkward ones. You couldn't ask for better really, five star rating is only because I can't rate higher.
Really let me down. I was very specific on calling to book that my puppy had not had his kennel cough but I would get it done. This was 13 days beforehand. On the morning I was leaving I realised that kennel cough had to be 14 days beforehand. Its a shame as this place comes highly recommended, but that incompetent conversation and booking could have cost me over a thousand pounds in hotel bookings etc had my daughter not stepped in.
Our 5 dogs have visited several times. The owners are total animal lovers and give special care and all the attention that all boarding dogs.appreciate It is a lovely country location so everyone has plenty of exercise whatever the weather. I would have no hesitation in telling all my friends about Faithful Friends Kennels.The kennels are heated and any special diet is willingly catered for.
This field is a lifesaver! Since we started to bring our boy there, he's been such a chilled dog! The space is massive, all fenced, and Charlotte still offers you free poo bags, toys and treats. Our baby boy loves to go there and also us! It's always fun our time in the field!
Our dogs have been staying at Trixie paws from its very start. Since our buddy and Betty passed away we had a pup who has been going to Trixie paws since she was six months old and it has been a second home for her. I know she is safe, well cared for, stimulated, socialised and probably having more fun than us. Charlotte keeps us up to date on what she has been upto. They stay in a beautiful, cosy home as one of the family. Only problem is the sulking we have to cope with when they have to leave. Pippa loves Trixie Paws and so do we.
We had an amazing time. Rides for all ages. Kept lovely and clean and the staff there were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
Super friendly to owners and dogs. Great service and helped us out while we were on holiday. 5 stars all the way.
Took my two dogs here for the first time the other day will definitely be a regular visitor perfect environment right on my doorstep and a very reasonable price
Brilliant dog field, thanks Charlotte we'll be booking again x x 🐾 …
Charlotte, has great facilities to walk and give your dog a good exercise.
Stress free dog walking! 🐕 …
Used Happy Tails several times to look after our pack of six dogs and three tortoises and we can't fault their service! Last time our female was pregnant but we was kept up to date with pictures and messages and didn't have to worry at all. Our animals was very calm and happy on our return and a lot less stressed as they was kept to their routine, far better than if they had been put in a kennel! We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a top class service, we already have them booked to come again next times we are away.
I have used Happy Tails Dog Walking now on a number of occasions. They have stayed in our home to look after the cats while we have been away. We have daily updates which put our mind at rest. One of the cats is very shy but he was comfortable with Tawny and Jordan. We have always come home to an immaculate house and happy well looked after cats. I will be using them again. Thank you for your help xx
We used Happy Tails for the first time very recently. I can’t thank Jordan and Tawny enough. My two cats are very nervous of strangers. Jordan came twice a day to feed and take care of my two cats and the wild birds etc while away for a few days. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you both so much, taking care of the cats and our homes and ensuring everything was ok. Very very pleased and as soon as I need help again looking after everything I will definitely ask you both again. Very fair pricing as well. Wishing you both lots of luck with your business. Thank you. Tracey & Malcolm, Alfie & Rupert. 😊👍🏻.
We highly recommend Happy Tails. They are very reliable and caring. Gwen our rescue Greyhound loves going for her daily walks. She is very well looked after by both Tawny and Jordan.
Jordan and Tawny are fab - professional, reliable, good communication. Our dog Molly loves them and we thoroughly recommend them to everyone! We're just sad to have moved out of their area!
My cat Charile is very wary of new people but the pet sitter was very friendly and he warmed to him straight away. I've used them to sit for my cat and dog and they have always been very attentive. It's nice that the sitter gives me daily updates of my pets well beinging. It makes me feel less anxious about being away from them. Would highly recommend. 😊
What a lifesaver!! Family health scare. Jordan rushes in to help and deal with our two elderly and fussy Labrador’s. Flexible, diligent and trustworthy. Handed him our house keys and 2 dogs with no notice and he rose to the challenge. Highly recommended. We’ll be using again. Definitely.
Really great with the dogs, friendly and fairly priced
Fantastic and reliable service! Thank you Tawny and Jordan
Maria was a total star!! We got married locally and she helped us walk, look after, drop off and pick up our two dogs over the course of the weekend. We have a sprocker and miniature dachshund and she really played such a huge role in making our wedding special. The dogs loved being down with us and where also able to have their own little holiday rather than being cooped up over the weekend. She sent some gorg pics and I felt so lucky to have her look after the dogs over our special weekend :) would 100% recommend!!!!
Maria helped us out with last minute dog daycare whilst we were on holiday. A lovely family who welcomed our dog into their home, and was happy and relaxed when we collected him at the end of the day. Very professional and friendly service. Would recommend.
Would highly recommend. Maria and her husband were perfect as dog sitters for our two dogs. A mini dachshund and a 1 yrs old Short Haired German Pointer. We were staying at a Airbnb cottage near the coast and did not want to leave the dogs alone, incase they damaged the property etc. She was very professional, came to meet us and the dogs the day before and was very caring and warm with the dogs. .
Amazing, caring and truly cares about dogs. We would highly recommend canine care service and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Looked after our dog for our wedding and really gave him such a happy time.
My dog (and I !) Fell in love with Maria right away. Maria has plenty of experience with all types of breeds and I knew she would be the right person to walk my little monster. Canine care services put all my worries at ease knowing my dog was in their care. I had text updates each day whilst I was at work and Maria always fitted the walks in round my odd shift pattern. Friendly and professional. Could not recommend highly enough. :)
Excellent service. Highly recommended my dogs love maria
Very reliable and friendly dog walker and boarder. Lee provides an excellent pick up and drop off service. Our border terrier is always excited to see Lee and clearly enjoys his days out and overnight stays.
Used Beech Tree twice now and can't recommend them enough. Both our dogs love it up there, they can't wait to get there and look happy and healthy when we pick them back up. The kennels are spacious and the paddocks are huge and very secure which gives us peace of mind as one of our dogs is a bit of an escape artist! The staff are friendly and always give us updates when we are away including photos and videos which is an added bonus. Will definitely use these kennels again and thanks to all the staff there 😀
We used the enclosed dog field a couple of times while on holiday in south Milton. A great place for our dog to run around for a couple of hours. Has the bonus of a shelter for humans too.
Lucy my young mad rescue boxer is just home from a week's stay. She loved her time there and didn't really want to come home to Westward Ho! Now thinking of bringing her with her brother for the odd day away. Thanks everyone for looking after Lucy and her first stay in kennels xx We have now used the kennels 3 times with a visit in July 2023 booked. Lucy loves it and seems to have lots of fun. Staff are lovely and there is an excellent range of enclosed paddocks.
We always use Beech Tree when we go away. The dogs always seem happy on collection and they are always very good at checking any special requirements, with a large selection of different food choices, luckily we have labradors that eat anything. They also have a new play field you can rent by the hour (separate from the kennels) to exercise and train your dogs in which is great fun for them.
What can I say this is my dogs idea of heaven. Good shelter if wet just a shame some don't pick thier dog pooh up but this is not Beech Trees fault. Overall a lovely secure field and well worth the money.
We always feel safe leaving our dogs (4) here, there is plenty of running space for them. They also feed raw meat if needed.
My 3 fur babies love the staff & the paddock to run freely! (But not too freely so they can escape). They were conked for days after! Well kept place ❤️
Nikki always seems happy here. She clearly loves the staff and on pick up day usually totally ignores me and runs into the office for fusses from the ladies instead. 🤣 …
I've had dogs for years and I have never found a better place for my dog other than at home. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Great kennels, good sized kennels for your dogs and large paddocks for them to burn off energy. I never worry about my dogs while I am away and they seem to enjoy themselves too.
Will only board dogs that have been spade or neutered. Very disappointed as told ot was a legal requirement. It is not required but is recommended.
Dogs are so happy. So many wagging tails x x x
