Michelle was an amazing sitter. She kept me in the loop during her arrival, stay, and departure. She was very warm, friendly, and considerate. She left my home cleaner than it was before and she even bought a toy for my dog Duke! I would gladly have Michelle over again without any hesitation. She’s one of the best sitters I’ve had.
Craig and Lisa are the best--kind and thoughtful and generous. Craig picked me up at the airport and dropped me off as well. Their place is comfortable and I had a choice of two bedrooms which were both lovely (and had air con!). The pool was the best part and I often started and ended the day with a swim. And sometimes in the middle too! Bonnie and Clyde were 3 months old when I met them and so cute that I enjoyed watching them every day, playing and learning and being generally hilarious. They were easy to care for because everything is a toy to them. A random fly was worth at least an hour of leaping and chasing. Just like having a toddler (but housetrained!) I adored them and they warmed up to me quite quickly. The location is great. It feels rural but I easily walked to the small town center for shopping. Craig and Lisa showed me all around and made sure I knew where to get all that I needed. It was a great adventure and I would recommend it. (The fig trees and the lemon tree were particularly abundant while I was there--how lucky was I!)
Luna & Roscoe were a joy to sit! Luna is a very sweet pup and very easy to walk. Once she warms up to you she will get you to throw her ball and loves to play. Roscoe is a bit shy at first but once he trusts you he's very affectionate. The house comfortable and peaceful. Talent is a very charming town and just a short walk from the house is some cafes and stores. Short sit but good stop as I was traveling north!
It was great to be at Erin's house taking care of her pets. The house is great for children, spacious and cozy. Pets are quiet and love to play. Erin is very attentive and has great communication. It helped with everything we need. Thank you for all the affection and see you next time.
Jenn is so great! I had a wonderful time taking care of Bernie and Rosie. They are such sweet pups, and the area is beautiful. Jenn is super accommodating, sweet, and accessible!

After driving behind this companies van today near nash mills, the driver proceeded to the “right turn” lane when he unbeknownst to me intended on going straight so cut me up at the exit, then was definitely going above the 30mph speed limit towards railways terrace traffic light (i was going 30 the van accelerated way ahead of my after being just a few metres) then after passing the through the bridge towards the speed camera the van breaked sharply as obviously speeding or would have been no need for the near sudden stop. Overall i would not trust them to transport my dog in a van being driven dangerously like this !!
Karen walks my friends dog Poppy and the bond between Karen and Poppy is quite remarkable. This lady is clearly in love with dogs and bonds so well with them
I've been using Tim and the team for regular day care and occasional overnight boarding for a couple of years now. It's a wonderful set up, with all the comforts of home - a really lovely environment. My dog is so pleased to see Tim when she arrives as she knows she has a brilliant day of engaging walks and playtime ahead. Tim and the team look after the dogs impeccably - I trust them completely and my dog is tired and happy when I pick her up! Highly recommended.
From the very first time my dog and I met Tim, I knew that he was the right choice. Tim is incredibly calm, kind mannered and the perfect choice to entrust to look after my furry family member! My dog is always happy to see Tim (and actually squeals with excitement as we arrive!) and always comes home tired. Daycare with Tim has been a great help in socialisation, but also a major relief knowing that if I need to travel for work, or want to take some holiday time with the family that there's somewhere safe, trusted and suitable.
My dog absolutely loves going to Tim's be it for boarding or just for day care. I cannot rate the standard of care given highly enough. Tim and his team treat the dogs in their care as part of their family and all the dogs seem so content there. You can tell by looking at their photos that the dogs are exercised well and most importantly look happy.
Our 2 springer spaniels go to Tim (and Sarah his assistant) for dog walking and boarding. Tim is very thorough and organised and we feel 100% safe leaving our precious dogs in his care. He takes the dogs for TWO country walks a day and they always come home happy and shattered! Can’t recommend highly enough.
Tim runs a fantastic and very caring dog day walking and boarding business. Our dog was well looked after, and taken on long and fun walks with other active dogs. Often he would have been washed too and came back looking very groomed. I recommend this business to anyone that wants a premium and caring dog service.
Tim and his team have been taking care of my dog now for several years. We can't fault the care and affection they give to Dexter. They take great care to tailor his walks to suit him as he is now an elderly dog. We have never had any concerns leaving him for extended stays when we go away. It is a second home now for Dexter. Can recommend them without hesitation and would not leave my dog anywhere else!
My dog loves going for Day Care with Tim and his team -she can't wait to get through the door. Tim is always really helpful and even though I only use the service occasionally, and sometimes at short notice, they will always try to accommodate my requirements. Highly recommended.
Great place to leave your dog. They are well cared for and are in secure garden and taken out for walk. Can't recommend this highly enough. Would definitely use again.
Excellent, pups loved there stay.
I would highly recommend Mary - she has my dog Digby every now and then either for the day or overnight and she treats him like her own. She is so warm and sweet with all the dogs in her care. She takes them for walks twice a day come rain or shine and Digby always comes back clean. Once she even gave him a lavender facial! I never worry when he’s at Happy Hounds. Thank you Mary, I’m so grateful to you xx
Mary has looked after our dog, Sam for the last few years. She takes such good care of him whilst we are away, and Sam is so happy when he boards with her. Mary is extremely professional and treats each dog with such love and kindness. I can highly recommend Mary and Happy Hounds and Sam will continue to stay with Mary for years to come.
Mary’s been a core part of Islay the schnauzer’s extended family since she was a pup. You couldn’t find a better person to entrust with the care of your dog. Mary is reliable, caring, and treats every pet as if they were her own. Islay always comes back very happy and can’t wait for her next stay. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to care for your furry friend, Mary is the perfect choice!
Mary has looked after our dog on and off for a long time now both during the day and also for long weekends and he has the absolute time of his life. He gets spoiled rotten and I know he is cared for even better than he is at home. Can’t recommend Mary enough.
I would highly recommend Mary from Happy Hounds, Wilson loves going off for his days with Mary, she looks after him amazingly well and we love the updates through the day knowing Wilson is having a lovely time and totally reassured. We are so pleased we found Mary and Wilson loves her! Many thanks 🤩 …
Ralph has just had the best week with Happy hounds whilst we were away on holiday. With daily walks in Ashridge, home comforts & even a blueberry facemask - he’s come home happier than us!! Thank you Mary for taking such good care of Ralph, treating him as one of your own - we really appreciate it!
We have used Mary as a cat sitter twice now and would happily recommend her. She is trustworthy and reliable, and sent us regular photo updates of our cat which was very much appreciated.
Outstanding! Mary came to our rescue at short notice,after an overnight trial, Tiger holidayed for 2 weeks. We could see that he was having a great time time while we were away, he was in great shape when we came home and I knew that he loved Mary when he went back for a last hug before we went home. Absolutely recommend.
I have no words to express how grateful we feel to Mary ! She has gone above and beyond looking after our 7 month old puppy cavapoo during the holidays . She sent us regular updates with photographs . He was taken out to lovely walks and always kept comfortable and engaged in stimulating activities. She is really passionate about dogs and cares for them meticulously ! We highly recommend her .
Mary is fantastic! Ruby adores her and comes home looking so neat and tidy! I don't know how Mary does it but Ruby behaves and responds to her grooming with compliance. I thoroughly rate Mary and totally recommend her. Her love and passion for dogs shines through!!!!
Recommended by a friend I'd been meaning to use Barking Mad for ages as the concept is so brilliant - to send your dog to a family who loves dogs instead of a kennel. The whole process was so easy and my dog had a wonderful time with a lovely couple and met their entire family - I had regular photo updates! I will definitely be using Barking Mad again and would recommend it to everyone!
I have signed up my dog Hamish with barking mad, and i must say the service is absolutely amazing. I knew Hamish was going to have a safe, happy, fun, time away. I would be very happy to send my dog on holiday with Carole again.
Carole provides a great service and we know that we can leave Max in safe hands in the knowledge that he is being well cared for in a friendly family home. Highly recommended.
We have been hosts for Barking Mad for a number of years now, and love having the dogs to stay with us, Carole is an amazing lady, who cares very deeply about her "charges" knowing that they are in good hands, we will continue to host for Barking Mad for as long as we can, but the day may come when we have our own dog !!
Barking Mad is excellent - I have no hesitation in leaving my 4 legged pal with them when I am away as I know he is going to be well looked after
Thank you for the fabulous rating John!
Kitti and Laszlo are an absolute gem! We found them over a year ago and we wouldn’t trade them for anyone else! Our cat Freddie is not used to strangers and is quite shy when approached, but this dream team not only managed to get his the friendliest and softest side since day one, but he is completely different to us! Very loving, affectionate and playful! Whenever we are away we know that our furry friend will be taken care of with the most genuine love and care. We receive multiple beautiful pictures and updates that melt our hearts! We can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for someone so dedicated and trustworthy as Kitty and Laszlo! Thank you!!!
Pocki is enjoying herself a lot when staying with Franklin Pet Sitting! I feel assured that Pocki is taken care of and we have received pictures and videos every day to stay on top of what’s happening while we are away!!!
I have had the pleasure of getting my dog sat on several occasions by Kitti, and her and her partner took such good care of our dog Carly, who also got on so well with their dogs. It’s affordable and really worth it as it’s so much better than a kennel :) they’re my n.1 choice for my dog.
I have known Kitti for well over a year now and she has looked after our Lakeland terrier Callie many times and walked her often. She is absolutely beautiful with her, and has an intuitive sense of how to make Callie happy and also calm, as she can be a bit overexcited! Callie absolutely adores Kitti and her colleague Lazlo and their gorgeous dogs….it’s like a loving kind doggy focused family and I always know she has the best time, in fact she doesn’t want to come home after she’s been with them! I would thoroughly recommend them to any dog owner who wants some very special dog care. Anna
We have been so lucky to have found Kitti! She is the most reliable, trustworthy and experienced Dogsitter. My dog Kylie is a rescue, very shy, scared and traumatised. She definitely need a very special approach and Kitti without a has doubt found a way to build trust and communicate with her. She is so good with animals, she has the true talent for it. My dog is everything for me, and I would not just leave her with anyone. I trust Kitti 100% with my dog's safety and wellbeing.
Kitti and Laszlo have looked after my rescue dog on a number of occasions now, including a 3 night stay in July 2023. I am really happy leaving my dog with them and she always enjoys her stay, including the company of their two dogs! It’s important to have peace of mind when you need to go away and leave your dog with someone, and I feel very happy leaving my dog with Kitti and Laszlo.
FRANKLIN PET SITTING are absolutely phenomenal with a truly fantastic team! Kitti and Laszlo complement one another and give an outstanding service. Kitti has a wealth of qualifications backed by years of experience and has an uncanny gift for understanding how to handle dogs even in difficult situations. Kitti’s responses are always calm and reasoned and together with Laszlo they make a formidable team that work wonders. From the moment they walked through my door Kitti and Laszlo”s ‘connection’ with my dog ‘Elsa’ was apparent, as was their genuine love of animals. They are professional, very competent and reliable whist being caring, kind and a pleasure to be with! I never thought I could ever completely trust anyone with my precious Elsa. However, Kitti and Laszlo inspire confidence and have proved me wrong on that count. Elsa clearly loves them and I have even been abroad and left Elsa in their care in my own home. I can honestly say I do not think I was even missed! I wish FRANKLIN PET SITTING every success in the future and to receive the recognition they so rightly deserve.
We were looking for a house and pet sitter for our fur babies for a long time who we’d trust not only with our three cats and two dogs but also trust with our house. We aranged to meet kitti and laszlo before any sort of arrangements to see if we and they would be comfortable with the house and the animals and from the moment we both the kids and we felt comfortable with them. We have asked them to look after our furry kids and the house numerous of times since then and it’s never a worry for us. We get regular photos and updates of how they’re all getting on and come home to a clean and tidy home, and 5 happy kids. Kitti and laszlo we feel are becoming like members of the family and a hopefully continue to be there for our kids when we unfortunately have to work away. I would highly recommend Nick & Gemma Hemel Hempstead
My dog enjoyed a five stars experience here!
My cats were well looked after by the team. Not just popping in to feed the cats but also stayed over with whilst we were abroad. Happy cats and happy owner! Only stopping because we're relocating. Would highly recommend :-)
Since we got our puppy a few years ago, Pet Relief have been amazing. From visits during the day when our puppy was small, to regular walks now and even occasional boarding nights when we go away, our pup always has a great time! Lisa and Paul have also been great and if we ever need to change our plans plans at the last minute, they are always understanding. Through covid they have made sure that they follow social distancing to ensure they provide a safe service. Would definitely recommend.
Pet Relief look after my 3 cats in our own home whenever I go away and I can't recommend them highly enough. They are happy to do all the little things like watering plants and turning lights on and off as well as caring for my cats who are always super-happy to see them. Pet Relief have always been reliable, punctual and so good with my babies - I wouldn't trust anyone else.
Pet Relief have provided us with cat feeding visits for over 10 years now. My cats much prefer being left in their own home and surroundings opposed to being taken to a cattery! Pet Relief are consistent, reliable and particularly responsive if you have a last minute requirement too. I would have no hesitation in recommending them if you live in the Hertfordshire areas they cover.
Pet Relief provides a fantastic service both in terms of dog walking and dog boarding. They have been totally reliable, always finding cover where needed and will do little extra things like turning on and off lights and picking up post. They have found walkers for us when we have needed someone at short notice and have even taken my dog to the groomers when I have been unable to do so. I have complete confidence that my dog will be walked by someone who loves animals and not in an enormous pack unlike so many other companies that you see. My dog loves her regular walker almost more than she loves us.
So Paul visited us at home to meet us and familiarise himself with our cat and property.He was very friendly and professional. He understood our needs and was in contact with us whilst we were away.He was very reliable and we would definitely use him again when we go away. Highly recommended
Great service. Highly recommend!
Debby looks after my pets when Im away. My pets adore her. She even tidies up for me if ive left in a hurry. She stays with each of my cats and bunny and gives them attention and also shows me photos as I miss them when im away.
Marie was brilliant with our 11 week old puppy who had never experienced day care before. Thanks x
Sue and the Young’s Whiskers and paws team are amazing with our dog, who has been going 2 days a week for the past year. It has become like a home from home for her and we couldn’t be happier with the love and attention she receives in their care. Our dog is always so excited to be picked up and we really couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Sue looked after Buffy and Willow again when we were away this year. My cats were rescues and are shy and nervous, so I'm very glad to have Sue to be so kind and gentle with them in my home when I am on holiday. She lets me know how they are doing by photo/video so I don't miss them so much.
Sue and the team are brilliant, they look after Monty wonderfully and I always feel happy knowing he is cared for and safe. Monty has been going to day care here for almost a year and he loves it. Thoroughly recommend!
Such a wonderful group of people and pups my little lady runs in every morning doesn’t look back and come home shattered and supper content, the safety and knowledge of everyone is excellent and if there are any concerns Sue will do her upmost to help you. When my dog first started she was nervous and naughty now she’s a different dog and that’s with the help of Sue and her team I’m so greatful for making my pooch a happy content girl. Thank you all!!
Sue & her team have been looking after our nearly 4 year old Cockerpoo most of his life. He loves them. They have never let us down, and are completely vested in their care. It genuinely is like our dogs are their own. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Sue and the team take great care of Penny - I always know she'll have a great day with her dog pals when she's at daycare. Young's Whiskers and Paws very much put the welfare of their dogs in their care first
Mr B and I love Sue, Abi and Simon! They are simply a second family to Boris and he loves his doggy daycare days. Always accommodating and good value, I couldn't recommend them enough. 🥰 …
Scruff loves staying at Sue’s when we are away. She is treated as one of the family and gets extra treats!
My dog gets very excited when she knows it is Sue time. I couldn’t praise her highly enough. Good pricing and fabulous service
Sue has looked after our cats many times over many years. She’s great.
Tony has been walking our cavalier Daphne for 6 years since she was a puppy. Daphne loves her long walks (maybe not so much when it rains). She really missed them during lockdown. Tony has also built on the training we have done in regards to recall and we really noticed the difference. Being a spaniel she would chase birds and it took a long time for her to come back. Tony and Lindy are professional and flexible as we have sometime had to change pick up and drop off points last minute. Importantly they are also competitively priced. Would definitely recommend
Tony and Lindy offer a 100% reliable, great value for money pet service. However it's the fact that they genuinely love the dogs that sets them apart. Tony is like the dog whisperer. Our ridgebacks just love their pack walks with CPS. We are hugely grateful.
Thank you so much Tony for taking such good care of our chickens! When one was ill before we went away, Tony looked after her so well. I appreciated the updates and the communication from him and Lindy, it meant I could relax a little knowing she was in good hands! Your response time is excellent Lindy, and so nice having such a reliable service so close to home ❤️
Harry loves his walks with Tony, he hears the van in the drive and runs out ready to go! You can tell there is genuine care for the dogs and reassurance they are well looked after and interacting with similar good natured dogs.
Tony and Lindy offer a great service. Our two thoroughly enjoy walking with the pack, and when safely in a separate area, running around like daft things! They don't just get walked but engaged and entertained as well....
Absolutely wonderful service. Our Golden Doodle adores Tony and her pack walks!
Spot on, with a passion for what they do and treat every Animal like their Own. Could not ask for more.
Very good with my German Shepherds
Thank you so much 😁 …
