Rachel was a wonderful sitter. She arrived a day early to meet my dog, and made sure that he got all of the love and attention that he needed. She was also very flexible and communicative. I’d love to have her sit for me again.
We had the absolute BEST time with Ernie in Eshaan and Kiersten’s beautiful home! Ernie was such a delight to care for - we became fast friends and had an emotional goodbye! Eshaan and Kiersten are LOVELY - couldn’t recommend sitting for them enough!
Nikki and her family and her two lovely labs were an absolute dream to sit for. Nikki made us feel very welcome, the house was prepped for our arrival and contact was easy and quick whenever we needed it. Baxter and Cooper are the most adorable and lovely doggies, we adored getting to look after them for the weekend. We would love to sit again for Nikki, we had an amazing time down on the Southside and the location of their house is great for kids activities and conveniences. Thanks Nikki!
Tigs is a great cat, beautiful affectionate ginger tom, with Hetty and Ben his very considerate owners. Thus the house sit was a delight in a warm family home with Tigs being understanding of our short absences while we discovered the local picturesque villages. We would gladly sit again.
I enjoyed a long weekend cat sitting for Chicory and Peanut in this quirky and centrally located home. It is ideally situated to all local amenities. I communicated with Fiona and Margot before the sit and I sent updates and photos during the sit. Fiona and Margot provided a comprehensive welcome pack which was really useful and I was able to meet with them before they left on the day of the sit. Chicory and Peanut were an absolute joy to cat sit for and I really enjoyed their company. They are very relaxed and laid back and their daily routine is very straightforward. I would highly recommend this sit. Thank you Fiona and Margot for letting me look after your cats and home.
I sat for Cookie for a week and he is a lovely dog. Very well house trained and will sit and relax with you if you are working from home or relaxing watching tv. At night he is very good at going to bed and waiting for you to come down in the morning. He is full of energy when it comes to walks and is quite strong, so you will need to be able to handle that. He’s great off the lead too and loves chasing sticks or rocks. He will come back to you when it’s time to get back on the lead, once you have tired him out a bit. Around people and other dogs he was great too. He barely takes any notice, even when dogs bark at him. Johns house is lovely too. Very clean, with everything you need. Location wise, you can’t really beat it.

My girl Minerva has been going to daycare/boarding at Home From Home for years and she loves every minute. Julia and Jess are the nicest people you could ever meet and treat every dog that steps through their door as part of the family. It is basically Minervas' second home. They send gorgeous photos and videos throughout the day to show me how much fun Mins having. The photo attached is from one of her days there and you can see for yourselves just how relaxed and happy she is. When I pick her up at the end of the day Min can barely keep her eyes open she is so exhausted from having the time of her life with all her friends. Julia's home is welcoming, immaculate and secure for your pooch. I wish I could give Home From Home 100 stars as they deserve every one for what they do. We are so lucky to have found them and I wouldn't send my precious girl anywhere else.
Home from Home really is a home from home for our dog Indie. She is very well looked after and treated gently for her nervous nature. We always get photos and feedback of her day. Julia and Jess are lovely as well as very professional and I couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you for looking after our precious pup!
Home from Home have been looking after our dog since she was a pup. It is the highlight of her week going to hang out with her besties. It is truly our dogs second home and you know she is being well looked after! The picture and video updates throughout the day also put you at ease. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!😍🤗
4 months ago, we made the decision that our 3 month old puppy would need to stay with someone on the night of our wedding, at which point he would be almost 7 months old. This was the most daunting decision for us and not something we took lightly. Our wedding venue recommended Julia and Jess and we took a trip down to meet them. From the moment we stepped in the door of their beautiful home, all three of us (my now husband, our puppy and I) were completely at ease. They are the most lovely, professional and caring family you could ever wish to leave your beloved pet with. Julia has been so great with her communication, answering my constant, long, worried emails and reassuring me along the way. I knew way before the wedding that Julia and Jess would look after Teddy as if he were there own and that's just what they did. The videos they sent me of him showed him behaving as he does with us at home, i.e. standing on your chest, tail wagging and licking your face - so I knew he was totally content, even without us there. I cannot recommend Home from Home enough. Thank you so much Julia, Jess and Hannah for looking after our fur baby, Teddy. I hope we can keep in touch. xxx
From enquiry to daycare Julia and Jess have always been extremely professional, kind and caring. My little pupper loves going to daycare with them so much I have increased the amount of days. I receive regular updates, photos and video throughout the day which put my mind at rest. If you ever need a high standard professional service do not hesitate to contact Home from Home.
Not worth the effort, doesn’t respond, Take your money somewhere else
Our 8 month old Cocker Spaniel had a wonderful 2 day and overnight stay recently. Great service from initial meeting, drop off and pick-up. We particularly enjoyed the video updates throughout her stay. She was in her element. Highly Recommend.
My Cocker Spaniel has been a member of The Mutley Crew for nearly a year now. She is with Michelle every weekday and occasional overnights (some might call it overnight boarding but Pip just sees this as another of her homes!). Pip loves Michelle and her other canine friends. No matter the weather Michelle is attentive to her pack and Pip comes home well exercised and ready to snuggle up for the rest of the night. Michelle has positively responded to my last minute requests with a cheerful smile and can-do attitude which has sometimes been a life-saver. 5 Stars are not enough in my opinion.
Michelle has been dog walker and dog boarder for our three little dogs for the past 4 years. The dogs are so much better behaved now and more importantly absolutely love her and her family. So much so that when we return from holidays the dogs are not that fussed to see us!! Devastating for us but it shows how happy they are and well looked after. We would be lost without Michelle and trust her 1000% with our babies.
I am Angela Burgess and I have been taking my 3 dogs, a golden retriever and two cocker spaniels to The Mutley Crew for the last 6 years , and have always been 100% satisfied with how they have been cared for. The enthusiasm for my trio is fabulous and we are all always made to feel so , welcome.They are well exercised and always come back much better behaved than before they went. I would highly recommend this service .
Muttley Crew have walked our dog Benny for nearly 4 years now. They have been incredibly reliable and very well organised. They are really friendly and approachable. Benny loves his time with them and Michelle was very patient and dedicated in getting Benny to calm down and listen more whilst on his walks. Cannot recommend enough.
Can't speak highly enough of Michelle and the time and attention she gives to the dogs. My large lab cross loves her and gets loads out of the various walks she takes him on. More than just a dog walking service as the dogs she walks become part of a family. The field has been a welcome addition where dogs can run free in the countryside.
I do this journey a few times a year and always quick and efficient with the staff be friendly, chatty and helpful but today was so different! Two staff members. One in his phone, swiping thru. The female that served me made no eye contact, no conversation. I said “Good morning , it’s cold today”. I handed dog passport under the glass. Not a word! I was passed the microchip reader, still nothing. I handed it back after hearing the beep. Nothing! I was handed the passport & boarding pass. Nothing! I’m not asking for witty quips and conversation (not at 1.00am anyway) but a good morning or have a good trip is always welcome & expected when you are paying for a service & it’s just common decency. Yes I’m old school and was bought up to say please and thank-you and hello and goodbye which appeared to be lacking today 😟
Words can’t describe how amazing and helpful the staff have been. We had an extremely stressful time due to my dog not having the right documents however the staff were extremely encouraging and guided us every step of the way, even went the extra mile and extended our ticket. I can’t describe how much all of this meant to us! Thank you so much!!
The staff doesn't know how to read an official government document regarding pet chipping date vs chip reading date. They made us stress like hell, because they said the vets documents are wrong, however it clearly states you need to provide chipping date or reading date. The document even has "/" this sign, still they almost denied our entry. We had to contact emergency vets to provide via email a "corrected" documents which turns out wasn't even necessary. My poor 19 year old cat was very worried she will miss her holiday.
First time on Le Shuttle and I was really impressed with the smooth, well managed process, with friendly and professional customer service throughout. Checking in with our dog was very straightforward and we were in Calais before we knew it. Would highly recommend and use the service again......
Quick and efficient check in with 3 doggies today. The staff were appalled when I mentioned that I had paid £1025 for the animal health certificate at my local vet. They gave me a list of vets near the tunnel in Kent who offer a much cheaper service online and collect before entering the tunnel. Really lovely staff, service with a smile. 10/10. Thank you.
You just handover your animal health certificate for checking, they pass you a hand held microchip scanner which you pass back with scan results and providing your vet has filled in paperwork properly you're on your way with a train allocation ticket in less than 2 minutes(no queues when I passed through and plenty of staff)
Eurotunnel have got petrol travel sorted, it was even better with a European passport, but they make it quick simple and professional.
We were very nervous about this but there was no need. as long as you paperwork is in order then no problems. the staff were very nice, new very pleasant dog "resting" area.
Fairly frequent user of various Ferries, etc. Normally driving a motorhome, sometimes alone and sometimes with my wife and my dog. Eurotunnel, or Le Shuttle as it appears to like being called these days, is certainly not my last choice when looking to get to and from Europe from the UK, but it's not consistently my first, either. Cost always plays a part in any calculation, but this time, the destination dictated the tunnel being the best option for me. It appears that changes in traffic handling are afoot in both Folkestone and Calais, so I await to see how this will impact future crossings. This time around, I travelled fairly late at night and it was pretty quiet by comparison with many previous crossings, so when I was accosted by a teenager in a High Vis Jacket trying to tell me that my vehicle won't fit in the car park and I would have to wait in the coach park and walk over to the pet reception. I dutifully complied, even though the actual car park by reception was all but empty, and I could have easily driven a vehicle twice the size of mine all around the car park and then reverse parked in any of the rows with all the doors open and not hit a single thing, and walked the 200Metres or so to the pet reception, whilst watching a tesla driver in the main car park actually hit a curb while turning in to a space. You see, just because you drive an 'allegedly', environmentally friendly car, it doesn't mean you go around causing less damage to the planet than someone that drives a diesel motorhome! If it was really busy, I get it, you have no idea how good the driving skills of any driver of any vehicle are. (I've seen enough bad drivers of all vehicle sizes to understand that) But at times when the main car park is empty, surely those who have the skill to take their vehicle safely into a car park should be allowed to do so, and those that are unsure of their parking and maneuvering abilities will more likely stay clear of tighter spaces out in the big coach park? But if Eurotunnel don't want me in their car park, that's fine, I'll not bother visiting the shops then and paddle on through to passport control... Any news on a frequent traveller discount system again yet? 🤔 P.S. staff at pet reception always really helpful and friendly. 😎🐕👍
Friendly staff, goes fast
Top-notch experience. Friendly, polite, really clean car and great driving skills. I really enjoyed my travel and do recommend his services for whatever you need a ride to.
Very nice company and great service and the driver very friendly and helpful and the price lower than other companies I compare the best price I recommend it
I have used this company, they are really good and reliable will trusted 👍 …
Our pup Dory recently stayed at Sandy Paw Lodge and had the best time. I was worried because she's super needy but the guys at Sandy Paw Lodge go above and beyond to provide a bespoke service for each dog meaning Dory felt right at home. I would and have highly recommended Sandy Paw Lodge and I've booked them in for all our trips and days out for the rest of this year. Dory can't wait to see you again soon.
Brad and Nat have recently started looking after our 2 dogs and they have been very professional throughout, offering multiple meet and greets. They are compassionate and responsive towards Otis and Hattie's unique personalities and needs. We are happy and confident that Otis and Hattie are in good hands, so that we can relax and enjoy being on holiday whilst they have their doggie holiday and Sandy Paw Lodge.
My dogs and I had a very good experience with Sandy Paw Lodge. Since I was worried about my dogs getting used to the environmental change and getting along with their dogs, they even came down and give us some time to be friends with first, walked together several times and chat a lot about how they can make my dogs comfortable. While staying there ,my dogs looked so happy and comfortable.I could tell from the videos/pics that they sent me, so I could enjoy my holiday without any doubt nor worry!! I highly recommend this place/service/people to all the dog lovers. I would definitely ask them to look after my dogs when I need the care next time.
I had a last minute need for a dog sitter for a short break. Came across these guys via a FB recommendation- and I’m SO glad that I did! From first contact they were professional and installed trust. They are clearly dog lovers who pride themselves in providing a bespoke service. They asked all the right questions to ensure a smooth stay, and nothing was too much of an ask. My little dog was treated like an absolute prince, my only criticism is that I’ll have to keep up the same level of pampering he has become accustomed to! Haha! Would 100000% recommend and will certainly be a repeat customer. Thanks guys 🥰🐶
Loki loves staying with the family. Brad and Nat are lovely and flexible. They treat Loki as if he is part of the family. 🐾💚 …
Folkestone's best kept secret! Busby, our border terrier, loved his time with Bali and Benji.
