Dog Sitters in Charing

My CKC spaniel recently had three and a half weeks with Barking Mad while I was in Australia. I had no worries about leaving her as I knew from previous visits that the hosts she stayed with would treat her as well as I could wish for. I received regular updates and videos during her stay and could see that she was happy and content. Pauline did a great job of matching her to a couple who are willing to give her all the comforts of home, including allowing her to sleep on their bed! A cut above your normal dog boarding.

I would definitely recommend Pauline and the rest of the gang, we’ve used them numerous times and very pleased my two spinones are very happy to go in their holiday with them and so we can enjoy our holiday knowing they are being well looked after

Great company and highly recommend. Our dog Rodney has the best holiday, it was the first time we’d left him overnight since getting him as a puppy but the text updates and photos put our mind at ease, Rodney had a fab time and came home very relaxed. The owners and hosts clearly really care for animals and look after them as if they were their own! Rodney is already looking forward to his next holiday with Barking Mad and his postcard is now taking pride of place on our fridge :)

I’ve been using Barking Mad for a few years for Frank my Vizsla. He absolutely loves Pauline and his hosts. He’s always excited when they come to pick him up and he happily goes off on his holiday. I get regular updates and always feel confident he is happy, loved and well looked after. I highly recommend them.

We are really happy with the service from Pauline and her team at Barking Mad. She’s taken great care and attention in getting to know our two golden retrievers, noting every detail about their routine and their different characters. She chose excellent holiday hosts for them while we’ve been away; they’ve kept us constantly posted with photos and feedback. It’s so helpful that Pauline comes to pick the dogs up and drops them back home after their holiday, and she is always very timely and communicative. We feel our dogs are in safe hands with Pauline and her team, and it’s lovely to know they are in someone’s home being loved and looked after. We would highly recommend Barking Mad.

Our GSD loves staying with his host family. He is so happy and excited when Pauline arrives to take him on his holidays. Regular updates and photos are great, as we know he is being well looked after which means we can enjoy our holiday too. Would highly recommend Barking Mad Ashford .

We have been using Barking Mad's Ashford branch regularly and cannot praise Pauline Hills, the owner, and her team of host families enough! We have an old dog with various age-related health issues and we have total confidence that he will be looked after and cared for just as we do ourselves. It is a brilliant service and Pauline is such a warm and friendly person to deal with. We highly recommend her.

Pauline and her team respond quickly to emails and requests, and our dog is always excited to see them! He is well-looked after by the hosts and comes home happy every time. A caring and professional service.

Barking Mad are excellent - our little dog loves going to the hosts, they keep us updated throughout our holiday with photos and texts letting us know how she is doing and ensuring we don't worry about her while we are away. Communications always good, always on time, it's a seamless service every time. I thoroughly recommend this as the best way to give you peace of mind that your pet is in good hands while you are away.

Have used Barking Mad now for a few years Pauline and Alan have always been so helpful and accommodating especially as I am not the most organised of people. Never had a problem and more importantly my dog is always happy 😁 …

We love Paulways and have been using them for years! We have had our dog stay with them, and sometimes our cat. They are phenomenally popular and busy, especially for dogs, so probably best to call rather than rely on emailing and not following up. I have recently driven a 3 hour round trip out of London for them to look after my pets, not having found anyone who I like as much.

I left my German Shepard for a week about 18 months ago and had no complaints. My gripe is when I have tried to re book. No response when I tried E mailing got through eventually on the mobile number and spoke to a girl who said she would pass on the message, still nobody returned my call. If they are that ignorant or busy and can’t out of curtesy return a phone call they can stick their kennels where the sun doesn’t shine.

What a lovely place for your dogs & cats to stay.They are kept in heated kennels with lots of blankets and cushions and have 2 two hour walks a day .The lovely friendly staff all love animals and treat your pets just like they treat their own.If you are looking for some where for your pets this is the place to go

They are really lovely! Our pets have been looked after beautifully here. Wouldn’t go anywhere else despite it being quite a drive away for us.

I highly recommend Beaux Aires boarding kennels to everyone who’s looking for somewhere for their pet to go to while in holiday. Our Cockapoo dog Rover Martin loved it there! He was so happy and well treated which put my mind at ease while on holiday. From the moment I made the call to the moment we step foot in there everyone was so friendly and extremely helpful! They got a good team going there... I would personally like to thank Molly, Belinda, Craig & his mother who runs the place. They’re all so really genuinely caring and nice people. We would definitely be using Beaux Aires boarding kennels again in the future. Really appreciate everything. Rover says “whoof whoof” thank you for having me 😊🐾

Left our 5 month old puppy for a night as a try out and she had such a brilliant time. Beaux Aires really looked after her like she was their own. Super happy and wouldn't go anywhere else. Update she is nearly two and adores it here. Their care is wonderful.

To put it simply. This was the first time we ever needed to board our dogs so I was nervous. I have never left my girls for too long and if we ever needed someone to take care of them there were friends and family at the ready. We got to pop down for a visit with our girls to view the space. At first our girls were nervous from hearing other dogs in the area but then they saw the field and they were happy as Larry. They investigated the kennel space and were very curious all good signs. When it came to dropping them off it was swift and painless. I on one hand was offended that my dogs didn't kick up a stink about being taken away from us. But at the same time because everything was done calmly the girls knew from our normal behaviour that there was nothing to worry about. When it came to collection. Well they were happy to see us but not at all desperate to go home. I actually would have liked them to act like they missed me more. Overall it was a very professional and pleasant experience in which I will confidently be able to leave our girls here again.

Such a great Kennel, all the staff love the dogs and they are do friendly. We have an XL Bully (Mas) and a Pug (Sid) they are always excited to go there.

Great staff my dogs loved it, would highly recommend

Our golden retriever has been going here for 8 years, his predecessor before him. Digby loves this place as do we - the staff are amazing and he can’t get in quickly enough, always in excellent shape when we collect him. Thank you to the whole team, you do a wonderful job.

First time in kennels for our two hounds, one a bit nervy the other young and boisterous and was quite apprehensive about their week’s stay. Shouldn’t have worried for a second! The staff have seen everything and are immensely capable and kind to their canine guests. There’s a HUGE field where the dogs get to roam five times a day - they are not all let loose together so don’t worry about reactivity. We took in our own dog food to avoid upset tummies but you MUST weigh and bag up each meal you supply (dry food). If you despair about going away and have trouble or anxiety about your dog being looked after please consider Beaux Aires - I was the WORST worrier but now I’m not!

Our dogs always enjoy their stay.

The staff here are absolutely brilliant they love and look after your pet as if it were their own. They have lovely big fields for dogs to exercise and run in. I kept in touch through out my holiday by Mandy the owner My dog was happy there. So much so that he was reluctant to get into the car when we collected him. This place is wonderful I would highly recommend it.

Our Golden Retriever Reggie attends Emily’s home every week and has just completed a full weeks boarding while we were on holiday. He loves his time these makes so many new play friends and is looked after fabulously. I would recommend Emily to anyone looking for a loving caring safe play or boarding setting

I have been using nanny MC pets for some time now and I cannot fault the service I get from Emily , she has gone above and beyond for me and my family of animals , Emily has been with me at the worst times too. The care she has given to me and mine is nothing but the very best . I trust her 100% with my Luna , from the first day meeting Emily I knew it was going to be a great match for myself but more importantly Luna , Luna adores Emily and looks forward to seeing Emily every time ,and I know when Luna goes to nanny MC pets she is safe ,happy and well looked after . Another daycare visit for Luna yesterday, 14th sep 2023 Luna is always madly excited to see Emily arrive to collect her , her vocals being heard around the whole area no doubt! Luna really loves spending time with Emily , I know I have peace of mind leaving her at nanny mc pets knowing I don't have to worry that she's okay , I know she's in the best hands , I would never leave her with anyone else Luna has established a great bond with Emily , when I tell Luna Emily is coming she's up and ready waiting looking and listening for her ... I definitely recommend nanny mc pets if you want total peace of mind , Luna gets home from home treatment and that's what she needs .. I have been with nanny mc pets for some time I will not go anywhere else ...

Fantastic Service! My dog Koda loves Nanny McPets, his nanny is Nanny Yasmin and every Thursday he bounds to the door so excited to see her for his walk. He has also been groomed at Nanny McPets Dog Grooming there linked business making him look even more handsome than he already is.

Brilliant Service! Obi our Labrador has used various services at Nanny McPets: Walkies (came to our house and took him out for an hour as agreed) Day care - We had to go out for a long day, Obi was collected at 7.30am and returned at 17.00, he had been taken out for two walks, played with his best friends Frank and Apollo and returned suitably tired ... he slept all evening!! Holiday Care: We have also used Nanny McPets to look after Obi whilst we went away on holiday for a week, we had daily updates of Obi’s walks and adventures and details of what he had been up to. Such a peace of mind for our most loved and treasured little boy! He absolutely loves it and always jumps straight in Nanny McPets car.

We have been using Nanny Mcpets since they started. Emily and all the staff are kind and caring and our dog is always happy to go there. It's a home from home for him.

We're new to Nanny McPets having recently moved into the area. We've found Emily and her team very professional, attentive and flexible which is exactly what you need when you leave your precious pet. My dog loves going to daycare, and I'm confident he is being well looked after, with lots of play and considered downtime, as well as a careful mix of dog personalities. He's showered with lots of love and comes home at the end of the day shattered. Win win! Thank you Nanny McPets

I would recommend Nanny McPets to anyone and everyone. They are an absolute Stella company who are the most kindest people I have ever met and I know when they take my dog Ozzy I have no worries whatsoever. They are very professional, on time. They are just overall a wonderful company. I am so happy that my brother found them because they have been a True Lifeline for Me.

Nanny McPets have been walking my Rottweiler for the past 10 days while we have been away. They have taken into account all the information I have given them with carful consideration of any medical issues. My dog has returned from his walks both happy and tired. Nanny McPets have been great with communication. I made my booking with them with plenty of time and keept in contact via emails with any updates or requests I had. Emily replied always in a timely manner (even of an evening when I never expected a reply straight away) I will definitely use their service again and would recommend to anyone needing any of the services they offer.

Emily and Tanya have been amazing with our new pup. He gets lots of attention and praise when they pop into puppy sit. Can’t say how pleased we are that we found Nanny McPets - they have put our minds at ease knowing our pup is being looked after by people who care. Both Emily and Tanya take the time to find out our needs for us and our pup and give us a daily update. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend then.

From the moment I first had contact with Emily I knew Nanny McPets would be perfect for our dog. Her love and care of dogs is obvious and her communication with us is brilliant. Our dog loves the time he spends with Emily and her team and he has learnt so much by being around other dogs and her loving environment. Thank you to Emily and team for making doggy day care stress free!

Our cat is a super scared, nervous rescue and I wouldn't leave him with anyone but Eva! She is simply the best Each pen has heating and a cctv camera so you can keep an eye on your cat while you're away which was wonderfully reassuring I can't recommend Ranpura highly enough Would give more than 5 stars if I could!! Fantastic cattery!!!

Eva and her husband have been absolutely amazing and we just wanted to thank them personally after what happened this week which took us all by surprise 😢 and for how quickly they reacted and for their dignity and compassion afterwards. You both went above and beyond ❤️. You know cats, you love cats and we couldn’t have asked for more. …

My 16 year old cat has stayed at Ranpura Farm Cattery twice for over 2 weeks. In quiet surroundings, clean and spacious accommodation. What impressed me most was on his recent 3 day stay, where his food had been put up onto the area he was resting and sleeping and I watched him eating in the night on the web cam. It is this kind of individual care and kindness by Eva that demonstrates to me my cat is in an environment where he is welcome and safe. Thanks to Paul for a web cam that has not faltered, even from thousands of miles away, to show me my cat is okay.

Thank you so much Eva for looking after Abbey, Excellent Cattery, able to watch Abbey on webcam. Took her in with two days notice. Would recommend using Eva's Cattery. We certainly will if we ever need to agin. Once again I want to thank Eva again. She took my cat Abbey back in again for a few days and now after my poor cat has been away from me for two months, she is finally going into her new house. Rampura Farm Cattery I recommend for anyone to use.

I am so impressed with the care my little Dorothy has received throughout her stay. She is only a kitten and I was an anxious mumma leaving her for the first time. Eva was reassuring and answered any questions I had. The webcam access is a great addition, allowing me to keep an eye on what my baby was up to. The cattery itself it super clean and spacious! Very happy and will definitely be using for future trips. Thank you Ranpura!! 💓💓💓

Very impressive and professional Cattery, the best we've used to date. Really fantastic outfit, very friendly and competitive rates despite their facilities being a lot better than others in our opinion. Will 100% use again next time we go on holidays.

A very nice, clean cattery. Cats are well looked after with the added bonus of a webcam. Very reasonable rates. I always board my cat here. Eva and Paul are friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend to family and friends.

My cats Molly & Toby stayed at Ranpura last week Mon-Fri and Eva was so good at making sure they had settled in especially Toby who has separation anxiety. They have stayed once before but now I wouldn't take them anywhere else. Thank you so much Eva & Paul for all you do at the cattery looking after our kitties. See you again soon Cher, Molly & Toby x

Eva and co. has done an amazing job after looking after my cat Luna. We loved having the webcam in which when we checked she was happy and settled 😊 this was the first time we put Luna in a cattery and Eva put us so much at ease. Nothing was too much trouble and I would HIGHLY recommend Ranpura to anyone. It's friendly, clean and such a beautiful place and we will definitely be using again! Thank you x

Millie came here for the first time. Eva looked after her very well and gave her her daily medication. CCTV facility to view your cat was a great novelty and could see if she was eating as it was her first visit to this cattery. The pens were clean and tidy and had the comforts of home. I would bring her back on our next break. Thank you Eva and staff. Millie was well looked after.

It has taken us 3 years to feel comfortable with leaving Dexter with someone outside of the family. Having decided we wanted a holiday abroad this year, we took the plunge with Julie and Malcolm and we’re so, so glad we did. After two separate overnight stays before we went away, we knew that Dexter would be in very capable hands and would be very happy. It is clear that Julie and Malcolm love dogs and Dexter was made to feel like one of their own. While we were on holiday, Julie sent us regular texts, photos, videos and reports, which was fantastic as it gave us such peace of mind. We could also see how much Dexter was enjoying his holiday - playing with his new friends, eating delicious treats, having lots of cuddles and relaxing on the garden day bed! We will always use Julie and Malcolm to board Dexter in future, for as long as they will have him, because we can see how much love and care is lavished on him. In return, he also loves Julie, Malcolm and the dogs and, if they are in the park at the same time as us now, he will run from the other side of the field to see them! All in all, we don’t think we could find anywhere better to board Dexter. It is such a relief to know he has somewhere to stay where he is so well looked after and where he is so happy. Thank you to Julie, Malcolm and all the dogs for welcoming Dexter into your home and making him one of the family when he comes to stay!

My dog Oli has been home boarded a few times a year for the last ten years. I have to say Julie had been exceptional in her care for him. We received many photos and reports of his holidays for the two weeks we were away. She really is a very caring and loving person and went the extra mile looking after him. I really would not leave him with any one else just wish she had been doing this a few years ago as we have had some bad experiences in the past . He has come home clean and exhausted from all his lovely walks and playtime with Julie’s dogs can’t thank her enough. I know from now on I won’t worry about him while I’m on holiday he will be having a great time

I had never put Rocco into boarding before and I was quite apprehensive about how he would be. I met Julie in her home with Malcolm and their own dogs, a meet and greet, Julie did it with great care and attention to not overwhelm Rocco. It was agreed then on Rocco's reaction to do a two night trial to see how this would go. This was free of charge. Julie updated me with an emailed report, what's app messages and pictures, fantastic. Rocco had great fun and it was set for him to stay for 12 nights. Would I recommend Julie, 100%, would I use her services again, 100% She sent lovely videos and pictures throughout his stay. He truly had a fab holiday himself. So well looked after and cared for I don't think he wanted to leave.

I’m so happy that my friend recommended Parsley and Pals to us! Julie and Malcolm took such good care of our dog Albie and I could tell they genuinely loved him. On my first visit, it was evident that Julie has put so much hard work, love and care into Parsley and Pals, and she absolutely adores her dogs as does Malcolm. I didn’t hesitate in booking Albie in with them for a holiday and I felt at ease whilst I was away as I knew he was treated like a king. Julie sends regular updates which is lovely. I can’t recommend Parsley and Pals enough. I feel like myself and Albie struck gold finding them and we have more visits booked in. Thank you so much 😊

I was so pleased to have found Julie with her Parsley and Pals boarding! We have a 5 year old cocker spaniel Sam, who boarded this week, and he had an amazing time!! Sam was treated liked royalty with healthy snacks, lots of playing, cuddles and space if he needed it. It was really reassuring to know Sam was in safe hands while we had a lovely holiday, and so did he! Julie kept me up to date with his activities and sent photos and videos, which were lovely to see. We are definately booking again next year! 100% recommend this service for your precious doggies. I have one happy, tired boy.

I cannot recommend Parsley and Pals more highly. Julie is truly committed to the dogs in her care giving them a home from home experience. My dog, Winston, had a wonderful time and has a group of new friends in the resident dogs. Julie is meticulous about her daily reports and kept me updated with pictures of Winstons adventures which was very reassuring. I will certainly be booking Winston in for visits and holidays in the future.

Wow! What a great experience we, and our two dogs had with their stay. Photos sent through and a great and thorough report of each day. Walks and lots of cuddles were had. Resident dogs all lovely and our dogs were very happy and relaxed there. Definitely would recommend and will be using again. Thank you Julie (and Malcolm)

Our dog Spud has gone to stay with Julie a few times and we couldn't be happier! Our baby boy has the best time and is very well looked after. It is clear how much they care the their own dogs as well as guests! It's such a piece of mind knowing he is comfortable, safe and happy. Spud will be returning in the future for sure!

Liberty had a great time at parsley and pals, I felt 100% at ease leaving her with this fabulous dog boarding organisation, the dogs are definitely in charge! Julie sent regular photos of Liberty and she looked like she had a nice time, lots of room, good garden, spoiled rotten! Will definitely using again🐶 …

We are so fortunate to have discovered Julie and Malcolm, such lovely genuine people who literally care for our dog Stanley as if he is their own dog. Stanley is so comfortable in their company and he has also made some new dog pals with the resident dogs. Highly knowledgeable and professional in how they look after Stanley and it is great for us knowing we can leave Stanley in their care fully confident that he will have a great time. We particularly love the updates ( emails and videos ) that Julie sends which gives us a great insight into what Stanley is doing and he has grown in confidence whilst with Julie and Malcolm. We would highly recommend Julie and Malcolm.
