I would highly recommend Booker Pet Care for dog boarding. Our dog Buster loves his holidays there, he gets lots of space to run and play, has fun with the other dogs and I know he is being well looked after. Lynn provides an excellent service and it is clear she has a genuine passion for offering dogs the best care.
Sarah said: We have been a customer of Lynn Booker for over 2 years and we are so pleased with the service there are hardly words to describe it! Lynn is truly wonderful with our little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and we have 50 min walks and use the home boarding service when we need it. Lynn displays a very high level of professionalism and Mischa adores her and the socialisation with other dogs. I couldn’t recommend highly enough to anyone in the Wetherby area needing a reliable, responsible and caring pet carer.
Lynn provides an absolutely excellent service, with great value for money. We use her for our cats when we're away, and are always happy in the knowledge they'll be well looked after. She's also really lovely to deal with. I would definitely recommend her to any one needing pet care services in the Wetherby area.
Lovely people, great location, great service. Strongly recommend.
Excellent service
My dog absolutely loves his time at Sandgate! He’s always so excited to see the team when he arrives and loves his time there through the day! Cannot recommend Sandgate enough
Really happy to recommend Simon and Paula up at sandgate, I've had dogs all my adult life and always relied on family and friends to look after them whilst away. When I found out that the dogs would be walked 4 times a day In their own woodland it sealed the deal for me and made a long decision easier to make. The dogs were treated lovely and seemed really well looked after from drop off to collection and didn't hold a grudge against me thank god 😂. Their now booked in for October half term And I've done that with full confidence that they will be treated amazingly. Thanks Simon & Paula Matt sellars 😁
Lovely family run business, staff are super friendly and pleased to accommodate your dog. We felt comfortable leaving our dog Mabel here and she was happy during her stay. Would definitely recommend.
A lovely family-run business. We've been sending our dog here for years and she always comes away happy and tired from her day playing with the other dogs.
The lady who works there is nice but the man there should be locked up. My dog came away from being around him both unsupervised and whimpering in the “heated kennels”. Absolutely unprofessional and not recommended. The man there is extremely hostile and I shall never be using their services ever again. Dog came back terrified of him which is totally out of my dogs personality. The photos displayed on Google are not what it is, yes there are woods nearby where the dogs may be walked but they spend 95% of their time in a urine covered concrete shack with not one toy in sight. NOT DOG FRIENDLY. You’re better off paying more money for a doggy day care if you care at all for your dog, this is abysmal.
Brilliant service, my dog loved his stay even though I was worried about leaving him for the first time. He loved it and the staff looked after him brilliantly!!!
Can’t fault Sandgate kennels on anything at all! A great, family-run kennel service - it feels just like leaving the dogs with good friends :) Mine can’t wait to go back !
Excellent level of care, plenty of space for the dog's to run around. Friendly staff, would thoroughly recommend.
My two dogs had a great holiday here, made dog friends, trotted off with Paula no problem whilst I shed a tear! Do day care as well as overnight boarding x
Friendly family run doggy daycare and boarding. On site grooming parlour too.
Sam our Black Lab retriever has just spent the last 13 nights living & been cared for by Natasha. He has now returned home one happy dog 🐕. Thanks Spa Barks certainly recommend.. …
Spa Barks have been fantastic in looking after my boy both overnight and on dog walks. I love the fact they send me photos of him out on his adventures with them. They are friendly and try their best to help, even at short notice ! Thanks a million Spa Barks, Dave is looking forward to his next visit!
Spa barks are so friendly and welcoming. I was looking for an alternative to a kennel for my puppy Maisey, so that I could feel more comfortable leaving her overnight, and Found Spa Barks to be the perfect fit for me, as I got to leave her with another loving family. I was very happy with the excellent service and value for money.
Natasha and Jonathan take such great care of Mara. When I drop her off with them, she doesn't look back for one moment - and that gives me such peace of mind. I even completely trusted them to look after Mara after she had a little surgery and was still wearing her medivest, and they did a wonderful job of ensuring she stayed clean and comfortable all week. They send me an update or two a day when they have her, which I so appreciate. And when we walk past their house, Mara always tries to cross the road to go and say hi! Thank you so much for giving us somewhere that we're so happy to leave our baby girl - would recommend you to anyone!
Our two puppies love spending time with Natasha and Jonathan. They really look after the dogs and we are happy to leave them there - without Spa Barks we would really be stuck!
Really great service. Tash treats your dogs like her own and come back wagging and happy
My Hamster Gus Gus was regularly handled and such well cared for will definitely use Charlotte again whenever we go away! We were consistently updated with pictures, so happy with her services!
Charlotte is amazing at looking after our little piggies, we've never had to worry about them whilst they've been in her care. We've used Charlotte's services a few times now and can't fault her. We love getting regular updates and pictures of our piggies and will continue to use Pippin Pet Boarding for the foreseeable future.
Our rabbit, Puddles, has stayed with Charlotte three times. She is always very well cared for and we receive regular updates. We are always very happy with Pippin holidays. Charlotte clearly loves animals.
My bunnies Nibbles and Isabelle have stayed at Pippin many times, most recently in the new luxury lodge which is a whole summer house and garden for them to roam freely. But it is the care and love that they receive from Charlotte who apart from being highly experienced in small pet care obviously adores animals which makes it more than just a business. I wouldn’t send my beloved rabbits anywhere else. Prices are more than fair for the level of service and you will get regular lovely photos and updates. Highly recommended in every way.
I would highly recommend Pippin Pet Boarding. Charlotte has been looking after our hamsters for the past few years now and we have always received an excellent service. Charlotte is really friendly and from the first visit we knew our hamster would be in safe hands. Charlotte always sends us photo updates throughout their stay so we can see how they are getting on which is great!
My two little Russian Dwarf hamsters, Pudding and Crumpet, have just spent 10 days with Charlotte at Pippin Pet Boarding and they had an absolutely amazing time ! They were looked after with the utmost care and attention . I received regular updates and some really cute pictures of my two girls which was sooo nice and comforting as I missed them a lot ! Charlotte was very friendly and professional , and was sooo considerate and flexible when arranging drop off and pick up times ! I highly recommend Pippin Pet Boarding for all your small animals, an all round FANTASTIC service :) :) :)
Charlotte looked after my canary "Biscuit" for two weeks and he was very happy and healthy when I returned to collect him. I was given regular updates about him throughout my holiday, including lovely photos of him free-flying around safely. Reasonably priced and reliable! Will definitely use again!!!
Milo, our hamster had a great stay, we loved our mid week update and photos. Highly recommended pet care service ! Thank You ! Summer holiday booking on its way 😁
Charlotte is always happy to look after our old bunny 🐰 and sends pictures to show how he is doing. …
Pipping Barding is just first class accommodation for small animals 🥇Charlotte is very dedicated and cares for her charges with 100% dedication my two girlie guineas Wendy & Daphne have been twice for two pretty long stays I have no hesitation at leaving them .The updates while you are away are fabulous we all know small animals can suddenly go downhill it’s something we always discuss but thankfully it’s never happened .Makes going away on holiday so much easier !
We booked here at 'Woofer's Courtyard' because 'Woofer's On The Wharfe' was fully booked at the time so please don't mistake the two. Our dog completed his 'trial day' with no issues, when we picked him up Woofers Courtyard reported that he'd had a good day and there were no concerns raised. So we booked again for the 13th of June, the website is awkward sending invoices and paying by bank transfer. When we collected out at the time our 8 month puppy, they asked us not to bring our dog back because he's too needy.We absolutely understand that our puppy need some attention through the day, he's a puppy. How they explained this and went about it came across like they simply can't be bothered. 11 days later we received a text that we hadn't paid the £23 for the day, claiming it was for the 10th of June when it was actually the 13th of June. Supplying them with screenshots with the dogs name and date as a reference, we never received an apology for their mistake. They're frustrating, one for how they've told us that our dog isn't welcome back and two because they simply can't keep up with their finances and the final nail in the coffin, they have a what's app group where they talk about you. Seem's really professional. Stick this in your What's App Group ;)
Miley loves her afternoons at Woofer's! She generally goes in with the dogs who like to play and chase. This has helped her socialisation immensely, as she can get protective around our house and shop. They have some agility equipment, lots of toys around, and little houses they can hide in. There are also indoor areas for warmth in winter or cooling in summer. Ella and the staff are really lovely. I can recommend Woofer's highly.
Been here today for a trial session. Absolutely fantastic team of people..really reassuring to leave our precious pet with. She had such a great time...gonna be booking her in again asap. x
Fantastic place, staff so friendly and our little Wilf love it
My dog loves going to daycare at woofers. All the staff are great and they really get to know all the dogs, it’s a fantastic place 😁 …
Ella and the team are amazing. Providing quality care with enriching activities and stimulating safe environments.
Mayzie loves to come here.Thankyou Ella and team for looking after her and giving her such a great time ..Its a perfect place for Doggies..
Friendly and experienced staff, a large field and lots of enrichment for the dog. Would recommend.
Great place with very friendly and helpful staff, would highly recommend.....
Really nice set up. Our dog loves going.
Debs and Mitchell at Hartley Wood Kennels looked after Oscar my cocker / springer spaniel superbly this August. This included taking Oscar to the vets when required and keeping me fully informed, giving me full confidence and assurance. I would not hesitate recommending Hartley Wood Kennels.
First experience of putting my rescue dog in kennels but we used to use Hartley wood many years ago for our family dogs. Was a bit worried about him in case he totally shut down. However, after initially being told he was a bit worried, he settled in ok and, when I picked him up he was pretty relaxed and happy.
Our cat has boarded a few times now at Hartley Wood and been very well looked after. Its clear the owners care a lot about all the animals, I feel very confident leaving Martha in the care of Malcom. Would definitely recommend.
Great set up, spacious kennels and staff that care. Would recommend
My dog has been to these kennels before and was very happy, so we took her again. She obviously was at ease with the owners, but unfortunately came home very thin due to an error. They were feeding her based on information on her registration form from when she was a bit younger( 3 cups), which my husband signed at that time. We verbally updated the increase in the amount of food she now has,( 4 to 5 cups ) stating we usually just keep her food bowl topped up as she's not a greedy dog. For whatever reason this was not followed or recorded. I could not recommend this kennel .
Used these kennels for years now and wouldn't use anywhere else always well looked after my dogs jump out of the car when we get there so I know they are happy going
Sam absolutely loves visiting Hartley Wood kennels. His tail is wagging as soon as we arrive and is still wagging at the end of his stay. The team clearly love dogs and give Sam plenty of attention while he’s on holiday! Would highly recommend. 🐶
Used this cattery for the first time and couldnt be more pleased. My cat has just come home from nearly two weeks stay and looks really happy and well cared for. The owners are lovely, friendly people and the cattery is in a beautiful setting. Im sure my cat enjoyed watching all the birds and wildlife! I will definately be booking again and would highly recommend them.
We have used Hartleywood Cattery several times a year for the last 10 years. Our cats, Scout and Tillie, are always very well looked after and it's easy to tell they are pleased to see Malcolm again when they arrive for another visit!! We would wholeheartedly recommend Hartleywood Cattery- even though we live 25 minutes away we bring the cats back time and again because we know they will be happy and safe.
We have been with Debbie for a number of years. It was for both Lou lou and Jack. Sadly we lost Lou lou during covid, but Jack (our little terrior or terror) is our baby. We have suddenly encountered an emergency due to a serious accident abroad in the last few days. I called Debbie and she immediately asked how she can help us with Jack. She is taking him on for time while we are away. Debbie and her family are brilliant and I cannot thank her enough at this really tough time. Hartley Kennels recommended 100% for caring, reliability and always being there. Thanks again Hartley Kennels.
Would highly recommend Richard - he’s fantastic! He’s great with Nora and she has such a fab time with Richard and her doggy friends. Always comes home happy. Richard’s flexible and has helped us out on numerous occasions with holidays (at short notice too). Wouldn’t trust my fur baby with anyone else. X
I can not recommend Paw Dayz highly enough. Richard, the dog walker is brilliant. He has walked our Labrador for over a year now and Percy is absolutely ecstatic to see him. Richard sends us daily updates and lots of pictures throughout the day. Richard also let us know if Percy wasn't being himself and always cared for him as if he was his own. If you are looking for as good, reliable and trustworthy dog walker Paw Dayz is the one for you!!
Richard was brilliant with Nellie. He was able to have her at such short notice and she loved her weekend there. I got regular updates of pictures of videos. Nellie is already booked in for another weekend stay. Highly recommend!
Rich has been incredible this weekend with our little Roxy!!! ❤️ first time having her, she boarded for 2 days and she had the holiday of a lifetime. She can be a handful at times but Rich has clearly made her feel so at ease and part of pack…needless to say she is shattered now! I would 100% recommend to anyone, she had an amazing home away from home for a couple days 🙌🏻
Richard is a wonderful dog Walker. He started walking my dog Poppy when she was about 3 or 4 months old. Poppy adores him. Richard will always go out of his way to help as he did when she was in season. He found the time to walk her round the block on a lead on her own in his busy schedule. I am so looking forward to Richard being able to to have Poppy overnight or doing doggy day care. Liz Bousfield
Richard is absolutely fantastic! We trust him so much, Milo loves going walking with him and he is so reliable. Our dog only stays with family, friends and Richard. He’s brilliant with dogs and goes above and beyond expectations - even sending pictures of his amazing walks! Thank you Richard, we don’t know what we would do without you!!!
Richard is absolutely fantastic, and we count ourselves very lucky to have found him! Cannot recommend him enough. Our rescue dog loves him and all the Paw Dayz 4-legged friends on his group walks. We feel 100% comfortable with our dog under Richard's care, knowing he is completely trustworthy, professional, reliable, flexible and super friendly with all his dogs and clients. We receive video updates and photos whenever he is on a walk, clearly having an amazing time. Over his time with our dog they have formed a great bond, and we would recommend Richard to anyone!
Our dog has been walking with Richard for several years now and it’s honestly the highlight of his week! He is so excited when he gets collected and has the best time running around with his friends. Richard is amazing with all of the dogs and is always in complete control on group walks. If you’re looking for an amazing dog walker, we really can’t recommend Paw Dayz enough!
What can I even say, Nero loves Richard, he situates himself by the window longingly waiting for his buddy to come get him for his lunchtime walk. I can tell Richard is amazing with dogs by Nero’s excitement Everytime he sees him. They also offer dog boarding too, which has been invaluable for when I need to travel. My fur baby is in the best hands, he gets to socialise with other dogs, gets a good walk and as an added bonus Richard takes the best pictures of Nero. Thank you paw dayz team ♥️
Richard has been our dog walker for years now, he is great! reliable, professional, he really enjoys his time with the dogs and we really trust him with ours. he sends us walking pictures and i'm slightly worried he may ditch walking for professional dog photography!
Excellent service. Love my Lexi staying here xxxx
We’ve used Emma’s services (cat sitting) a couple of times now. Emma is professional, kind, caring and understanding. The price range is amazing too. Although our cat isn’t the most sociable cat, Emma took/takes the time to get to know her and understand her needs. Both my partner and I would recommend Emma in a heartbeat. It takes a lot for us to trust someone to come into our home and look after our pet. However, we never ever had any worries with Emma. Emma kept us updated throughout and her caring nature really showed
Emma came highly recommended when i was looking for help with feeding my 2 cats and fish whilst away on business. She's reliable, dependable and organised. I would recommend her to anyone that has a pet sitting need. She has thought of absolutely everything! I trusted her to be in my home and around my animals and she didn't disappoint! I will definitely do business with her again! Thanks Emma :)
Emma has been walking our dog since we got him 3 years ago. She’s reliable, friendly and clearly loves her job. I know that when I’m at work, our dog is getting the exercise and attention that we’d give him ourselves. Brilliant service!
I would recommend A Dog's Best Friend to anyone. I have every confidence in Emma. My dogs Paisley and Bella are always very excited to see her and I have peace of mind knowing they are happy and well looked after whilst in her care.
Emma and Aimee have both looked after my fur ball Bob and I cant thank them enough for the care they have given him.. If you are looking for a dog walker or dog sitter, look no further
Emma is great!
The staff at woofers are just the best. They love all of our dogs and are just brilliant with them.
