Rosie & Jonty were absolutely superb. It was a delight having them in my home. They really looked after it and took great care of Bella. I got such a nice surprise when I got home - first the place was spotless, and they had washed the bedding and remade the bed - so thoughtful. and Rosie made me a delicious cake. Can't recommend these guys highly enough. They can come back any time.
Brian and Alison came to look after our two rescue dogs and three chickens over the weekend. Before we went away, they listened intently about the schedules and feeding regimes of the dogs & hens as well as their nuances. One of our dogs can be nervous with people, and after one visit was completely comfortable and happy with both Brian and Alison. We came home to happy animals and a well-looked after house. I couldn't recommend them more for sitting!

Lynsay is absolutely incredible with her pack. I was so at ease with having my dog join her on her walks as I knew that he would be so well looked after and have such a great time running around and exploring on their adventures. He gets so excited to see Lynsay and all of his doggy friends that he has met along the way. He comes home super sleepy, well exercised and I have noticed a difference in his confidence when interacting with other dogs. I especially love that she provides photographs and updates of their daily walks as it is so lovely to see them having fun. I would 100% recommend Lynsay and Whistle While We Walk to anyone!
Lynsay is a wonderful person.so kind to her dogs. She plays with them runs about with them. I have a wee chihuahua boy which is a lockdown dog. He wouldn't go with anyone.but lynsay took him up and down my street a few times to get him used to her Now he goes out now with a pack of dogs for walks .and he's staid for a week and a weekend with lynn I trust her a 100% with my louis .
Lynsay dog services are fantastic, I used Lynsays Hound Hotels for my dog and was amazed by the service and regular updated on my dogs progress with other dogs as I was aware he was timid.Lynsay took the time to send pictures and videos to put me at ease and the dog always looked happy. Il definitely be using Lynsays services again and highly recommend it anyone thing of using a dog handler, one of the good ones.
Can’t recommend Lynz and Alex enough. They made sure my girls were happy and well looked after with plenty walks and exercise. Wether it’s been day care or boarding they live coming here. Will definitely be booking again.
Only been using Lynsay for a few weeks but she's been great, My pup comes in tired and well walked and he loves his time out having a run about with the other dogs, Would highly recommend Lynsay to anybody
I got Willow my gorgeous cockapoo during lockdown. Myself and my husband had been taking her walks however I was struggling when he was working as I have shortness of breath due to long covid. I was really nervous about getting a dog walker. I am so glad I found lynsay! Willow adores her and she adores Willow. Willow now very confidently can walk of the leash and I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for being the most amazing dog walker I could have hoped for 😀
Lynsay is a lovely, welcoming woman who shows genuine affection for the dogs in her care. My dog is always excited to see her and comes back tired and happy.
I have known Lynsey since primary school and she always lies animals no matter what size from a hamster to a Great Dane Lynsey shows them the love and care that their own families do. There’s no one I know that truly loves animals like the way Lynsey does.
Used Lynsey a few times. Rebel loves it. Was worried about leaving him but shouldn't have. Would not hesitate to recommend. Great service
Lynzz is amazing what she does! She cares for the dogs like their her own! 100 percent trust lynzz with my dog
Lyndsay has been walking my two dogs for nearly two years - they absolutely love their walks and spending time with her. They enjoy their sleepovers while we are away - they always come back absolutely pooped. They have become a lot more social and playful since spending time with her. I trust her completely with my fur kids, and I know she treats them like her own dogs.
We have tried a few places to look after our Hungarian Vizsla Kevin, we found him to be a wee bit withdrawn on returning, however when Lyndsay looked after him he was neither up nor down, we could just tell he had a great time and was very comfortable, which totally alleviates all the dog mum guilt! Thank you Lyndsay
My dogs love staying at Hotel hounds. Lynsay is a fantastic Alpha to her dog walking pack and when my dogs have boarder, it's been home from home. I noticed she is good at looking out for health issues and giving advice about all things doggy. Will never use anyone else for my fur babies.
Willow has been going out for walks with lynsay for 2 years + she is so lovely and willow loves her, Alex and all of her other walking buddies. Willow spent 2 weeks with lynsay when I was on holiday and I didn't need to worry about her because her and willow love each other much. I would highly recommend
I’ve had the good fortune to have found Lynzz Burns, the owner of this business, Hotel Hounds/ Whistle While You Walk, serendipitously, in 2021. I can honestly say, she is FANTASTIC! Very confident with the dogs who are lucky enough to come into her care. Like most people, I would not leave my babies with just anyone and Lynzz isn’t just anyone. I have two rescue dogs who are like chalk and cheese. I visited Lynzz’ home on a few occasions with my dogs to watch how she interacted with them after I explained about their issues. Minerva is deaf and terrified of her own shadow. Vito is a tough nut who just wants to fight. These two dogs (and I worried about how they would be) made me look stupid! They settled brilliantly and Lynzz sent photos and videos EVERY DAY for the ten days I was on holiday. On collecting them, they were glad to see me but ran between myself and Lynzz for a good few minutes before deciding to come home with me! A very calm and knowledgeable lady. Careful, compassionate and takes on board what you tell her about your animals. My two are booked in for 29th August this year AND for next May and September, 2022. I am completely trusting and soooo comfortable leaving my beloved dogs with her. Don’t hesitate to book because honestly, I cannot fault this lady in any way. Her home is their home. Beds, sofas and chairs included!!! 💜🌺💜
Absolutely amazing, my dog Luna attends Monday to Friday and it’s massive improved her social skills as she’s not so nervous and timid meeting new people and dogs 🥰 …
Mylo really enjoys boarding at Lindsay’s when I’m away Lindsay is just amazing with dogs. She loves them all and is very caring. The photos she takes puts your mind at rest knowing he’s happy and being well looked after.
What can I say, Lyns looks after your dogs like they are her own dogs, she loves and cares for them like you do and they love it. Brody has stayed a few times now with Lyns and he loves going with her every Thursday, the smile on his face when he goes and comes back says how much love and care she gives to the big man. Would highly recommend her.
My boy Stanley just loves his walks and loves lynzz - home boarding is no problem ever and I never worry that he is loved and cared for - updated with pics on each and every walk and regularly while boarding - and if anything he want to stay as he is so spoiled - he comes home for a rest - thank you. - don’t know what I would do without you - x allison
Lynzz is just amazing with dogs and the dogs love her . My boy Bailey sits at the window and cries waiting on Lynzz to pick him up . Lynzz always updates you with photos and videos of the dogs on their walks . I would highly recommend Lynzz for all your dogs needs 🐾🐾 …
Was so good with my nervous dog and couldn’t have asked for a better service. Adelaide loved her dog walker and she always came home bouncing with happiness
I am housebound and thought I couldn't have a dog because I couldn't take him for walks and that would be unfair and unhealthy, so a good dog walking service is essential for Spike's well-being and my own. In Waggin' Wheelz I have found a reliable, friendly and safe service that looks after Spike on his weekend excursions and they are always ready to step in when my Monday to Friday walker has to cancel because of holidays or his van is in for repairs, as it is tomorrow, by the way. I'll put a photo of Spike on here as he's the photogenic member of the family.👴🐶⚓🐶👴
We've been using Michael's service for almost a year now, he's been fantastic with our dog who is a handful at the best of times. Michael knows his stuff and has always been responsive whenever we have to reach out to him and keeps his Facebook page updated with photos of the dogs on their walks. I would highly recommend Michael's service to anyone.
Michael provides very professional and reliable services, and will go above and beyond for all his clients. My cat, who is normally very iffy with strangers, immediately felt at ease with Michael. In addition to the stellar service he is providing for pets, Michael also demonstrates kindness, understanding and empathy for the owners of pets. Those who benefited from his services know what I'm talking about. His communication skills are excellent, as well as his knowledge in pet safety. Obviously, Michael is also fully vetted by Disclosure Scotland. Cannot recommend Michael's services highly enough.
Michael has been been looking after our 2 cats for 3 plus years now. He does an amazing job, allowing us to go on extended holidays and short breaks safe in the knowledge that Charlie and Teddy are being well looked after in their own home which makes for happy cats. Michael is professional, polite, reliable and quick to respond. If you are looking for someone to come in and tend to your pets I can't recommend Michael highly enough.
Michael was absolutely amazing and went over and above what he had to do, 🙂, I highly recommend his company and his professionalism! I will be using his services for the foreseeable future and don't have to stress about my cat while I am away! Amazing service, 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 …
I came across Michael's services after my arrangement for cat sitting fell apart. He replied quickly to my request and after his visit I felt confident to leave my two older cats with one demanding cuddles immediately and even the timid one didn't mind him being around. Michael provided regular updates which gave me some additional peace of mind. Thanks again for a job well done.
Michael looked after our house rabbit and cockatiel in our home whilst we were away. This was the first time we'd used a pet sitting service and were a little anxious about leaving the pets alone. Michael put our mind at ease and sent us regular updates and photos. Very happy with the service and will use again. Thanks Michael.
Michael & Suzzane have been walking our dog Ollie for 3 years now. They're brilliant at accommodating the walks round our shifts, even at short notice. They always have your dogs best interest in mind and Ollie loves his walks with them. Highly recommended.
Once again Michael & Suzanne provided a great service for big GazzA he loved his walks & I could relax knowing he was in safe hands with these guys who are brilliant. Highly recommend xx
We have just picked up our 2 jack Russells from gartcloss kennels first time boarding.. Absolutely amazing; they absolutely loved it; I couldn’t be happier with the care and treatment they received; very attentive staff; and caring and continuous updates on them just wow; I can not recommend this enough; I will definitely be booking here again; thank you sooo much xxx
We put our wee dog into the kennels for the first time last week and were worried about leaving him. After a chat with the owners we realised he would be fine and can tell he's has been extremely well looked after. Have already booked him in again and know he will be extremely well looked after.
We have just picked up our grey Harry from his two week holiday at Gartcloss kennels. We could not have asked for better care of him while we were away. He has come back happy with a lovely shiny coat. The kennels themselves are five star with a good indoor space and each dog having their own outdoor space too! Could not have found two better people to look after Harry. Me and my partner felt totally relaxed while we were away knowing Harry was being so well looked after, will definitely use them again!
I used Gartcloss Kennels for the first time and my little Truffles loved it. Andrea sent me continuous updates of Truffles throughout the day which was fantastic and it kept my mind at rest as this was the first time Truffles spent time away from home. When my husband picked her up he said that Truffles was so happy, excited and looked as if she had a fun day out. You can certainly see that Andrea and Pat are animal lovers and its just not a business. They are very flexible and will try their upmost to accommodate needs. The amount of land the dogs have to run around in is amazing, plus they offer other services too. Before I left Truffles at doggy day care, I visited Andrea and Pat and they were really welcoming and gave me all the time I needed to ask questions etc, I never felt that anything was too much for them. I also looked at the kennels/facilities which are fantastic. I certainly would use Gartcloss Kennels if I ever had to leave Truffles for a long length of time. Would I recommend them? Its a big fat YES!
Kaya appeared to have had a great experience in her 1st stay in kennels. Made loads of new doggy friends too. Kennels were clean, heated and appeared cosy. Regular updates from staff put my mind at rest, could see from the photos she was having a great time. Shell be back.
I have a lovely rescue statue, Begbie, she is terrified of getting her nails cut to the point that for over a year I have only attempted to have them done once. Then I saw this kennel popping up on my Facebook and I thought I’ll give it a go. What can I say! It was fantastic, they are flexible to your dogs needs, the facilities are simply stunning and their knowledge of dogs is invaluable. I got some advice on how to keep Begbie’s coat shinny 👌 Definitely a hidden gem, absolutely recommend this kennels and would most definitely will come back!! 🙌💕🐶
Had my sharp ie in for a week or so on a few occasions when @ work. Attention to detail dogs get is class 👌 …
Spotless new built kennels. Fussy when it comes to leaving my dogs with othets but absolutely no qualms here. Ideal.
Our dog loves going to doggy Daycare. Staff and owners are fantastic
If anyone are look g to get there dogs looked after this is a first class kennels and the people are such a pleasure to deal with.
Riley has been going here for almost a year now and he absolutely loves it!! Pauline is fantastic always get a full update when picking him up. Xmas party for the doggies and owners was a brilliant day. Can't recommend enough. Wish I could give 10 stars. Xx
Used scooby day care for 1st time today and was well impressed. Pauline kept us up to date with our dogs progress on his first day. Shall be using again tomorrow. Our labrador had great fun.
Absolutely first class. Been taking my dog here for years and can't fault them. They go all out to help you whenever they can. Even pulled my car out of the snow! My dog had to stay overnight as I couldn't get there due to bad weather and didn't even charge me. Exceptional.
Wouldn't take my dog anywhere else, Pauline is fantastic! :)
Great dog day care place, lovely staff and my dog loves the place, keen to get in there everytime and you can't ask for more than that
Our dog Bonnie absolutely loves going out with Jess and all her puppy friends at BB's Buddies. Jess always keeps me up to date with the adventures Bonnie is on and has been really accommodating and flexible with changeable work schedules. I really love that Jess always goes to the bother of sharing photos of Bonnie out on her walks with us, it gives me real peace of mind that she is out having the time of her life! Couldn't recommend highly enough!
Juno absolutely loves her walks with Jessica and the BB Buddies team! We get sent lots of photos of her having fun with the rest of the pack which we love to see and knowing she is in safe hands. Juno always comes home tired as she’s had the chance to get a good run around and explore on the walks. BB Buddies has always been accommodating with our schedule and also keeps us up to date as to when Juno's dropped off. Thanks so much for looking after our Juno over the last year!
Jessica and Christina provide an amazing service! My dog absolutely loves them and always has a fab time. They take lots of photos so you can see what the dogs are up to, and they are very responsive with requests. I use their services on different days each week due to work requirements, and I have also used their home boarding service. I think my dog was sorry to come home!
Our dog has been out with Jess since she was a pup and loves going out with her and the pack every week, definitely her favourite day. Great to get updates and photos during the walks too.
Skye is always delighted to see jess & christina for her walks. She absolutely loves the girls and i would trust them with her life every day of the week. The bonus for me is the photos if she stays still long enough to get one taken.
Amazing dog walker! My dogs love going on walks with Jessica, jessica always updates me send me pictures and videos! This makes me less anxious when my dog is out as I know they are safe with Jessica!
BB Buddies have been absolutely amazing with our dog - he loves the walks and the girls so much! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting their dogs well looked after
Todd loves going on walks with Jessica, we just need to say her name and he runs to the door. Always great getting a few
Rebecca thanks so much for taking great care of Harry while we were away. We can tell from the videos that he loves spending time with you and this puts our mind at ease knowing he’s been lovingly looked after by you, as he can be an anxious dog with people he doesn’t know. You’ve certainly got a great way with dogs and it shows. I’d highly recommend you.
I would highly recommend Rebecca. We left our jack Russell Mac for a long weekend for the first time. He was so well looked after and had a great time. Regular updates put my mind at ease. He will definitely be back for another sleepover!
Rebecca is great with all different kinds of dogs I would 100% recommend her I would trust her with any of my guys and know they would be treated like one of her own so I have no worries if they are with her
Rebecca was so nice with our Picky Poodle Penny, that she didn't want to come home. Already planning her next holiday, thanks again.
Would highly recommend, a really loving and caring person and a true animal lover, really understands dogs with all her years off experience.
