Stevie and Theo took good care of our dog, Marco, while we were away. He’s an older dog and they had no trouble following our instructions about his medications or his routines. They left our flat clean and tidy. Stevie made sure to come up to Edinburgh before we left so we could have a thorough in-person handover, which was much appreciated! They both seem like really nice people and kept in good communication with us throughout! Thanks again to you both!
Thank you Jocelyn for looking after our 2 fur babies Pepe and Ruby so well. I could tell they felt really happy from the photos you sent. Also for caring for our elderly horses who enjoyed the daily brushing and carrots! The cattle didn’t need much attention but it was good to see you were checking on the new calves and mothers daily.

Becky is absolutely fantastic! She looked after our two cats while we were away on holiday. From the moment we met her, she was professional and gave us all of the information we needed. When we were on holiday, Becky fed the cats daily and went and looked for them in their usual hiding places or in the garden. They bonded really well with her. We received daily pictures, videos and updates of the cats which was particularly reassuring for my daughter who missed them. Towards the end of our holiday, the cats didn’t have much food left so Becky even took the time to get them some more. I would highly recommend Becky and will be definitely using her again!
We recently booked for Becky to feed our cat while we went away for a week and my goodness what a great decision it was! She came to see him twice a day, we had daily updates on how he was doing and to top it off - he couldn’t have cared less when we got home because he’d been so relaxed and had such a nice time! It was the exact opposite of previous experiences we’ve had when we pick him up from a cattery and he sulks 😂 Becky is so professional and so lovely! The fact that she offers a free initial consultation to meet you and your pet, tells you all you need to know about her and her dedication. We will absolutely come back and book Becky whenever we go away again and honestly cannot recommend her enough. Huge thank you!
Becky has looked after our cats when we have been away a couple of times. She was brilliant with them and they seemed very content with her company. Her updates were very informative and comforting, and she managed to get better photos of them than we have ever managed! She is clearly a great cat lover which shines through in how she interacts with them, and in the messages she sends. She also coped admirably with one of our cats desperate attempts to escape the first time she looked after them, and the litter tray rebellion that took place towards the end of our second trip! We would not hesitate to recommend her.
Becky was a complete professional when it came to looking after my two cats Leo & Nugget. I went away for a week and during that time I got daily videos and photos. My youngest cat Nugget has absolutely fallen in love with Becky and to see their interactions, I would not hesitate to use Becky’s services again. I would highly recommend Purrs and Tails when it comes to looking for someone trustworthy, reliable and patient with skittish cats.
We are recently starting working with Becky from Purrs & Tails 🐕 🐾 Becky does daily dog walks for us and has also recently did an over night house sit with her husband Dan! They are a lovely couple and we felt totally at ease leaving our beloved 6 month old puppy with them for a day and overnight stay! The way we feel leaving your dog with Becky is like leaving your dog with a trusted friend or family! Highly recommend Becky as she is really caring & loving about your animal as if it was her own! Professional, great communication with messages and pictures letting you know the fun things they have been up to! Thank you Becky we feel very lucky to have found you! Best Wishes, Matthew and Frances
Highly recommend Becky. She's been looking after our cat for a few years now. She's very professional, friendly and reliable. Our cat loves having her look after him and he especially enjoys the dreamie hunts!
Becky was so helpful at short notice and I immediately felt confident that my cat would be in good hands when she came round for our meet and greet. Becky provided me with an update at each visit and lots of lovely photos and videos, so I knew Apollo was being well looked after and was comfortable with her. I would use Becky again without hesitation.
Becky looked after our cat while we were away for a few days and gave an excellent service. She provided video updates on our cat, who was poorly when we went away, and gave him the medicine provided. She is the only stranger he has trusted as she has a real way with cats. Highly recommend.
Professional, friendly and overall extremelly good service. If you are looking for a flexible, responsible and trustable person to leave your cat with while enjoying your vacation, Becky is exactly it! Cosmo (my cat) definetly made a new friend after a few visits from her.
Thank you Becky!! - Becky looked after my cat while I was away - she was brilliant. I got lots of regular updates and pictures, and Min loved the company, or at least having someone to sleep on!
Amanda has only just started recently coming into look after my dog Milo. He is very nervous and this picture was taken by Amanda of him looking very relaxed with her on her first visit. She is very professional, reliable, thorough and a really nice person. I feel very comfortable with her and would recommend her definitely!😊
Leo loves his walks with Amanda, he is in such a happy mood afterwards. She is obviously so kind and so fond of animals. She also looks after our cats when we go away. Totally recommend her for your fur babies!
Amanda recently started walking my French Bulldog, I instantly felt at ease upon meeting Amanda. She got on so well with my dog on the first meeting and it’s clear how excited my frenchie is on her walks. Amanda is so responsive on text and does her absolute best to accommodate when my schedule changes. I would not trust anyone else with my dog. Thank you for treating her like your own x
I cannot find words fitting enough to tell you how wonderful Amanda is. We first met Amanda last year when we were about to move area and we were keen to find the right person to help care for our little pooch whilst we were at work. Amanda’s reviews were really positive so we arranged a meeting. From the first meet we could see just how caring she was with pets and how she really wanted to find a personalised way to get the best out of her time with Bailey. I immediately gave Amanda a key to our home and she has been trust worthy, considerate and accommodating with any extra needs we have. Our dog loves Amanda, she’s family to us and we’d all be lost without her. If you need someone who treats you and your pet as individuals, who you can trust and who is genuinely just 5 star lovely, amanda and dizzy pet care is where it’s at 5️⃣⭐️ 🐶
I started using Amanda at the start of this year and she has been amazing! When I met her with my puppy Hazel, she was so lovely with her and instantly put my mind at ease. Hazel loves her time with Amanda and she always gives me pupdates. It's so reassuring knowing she is in such capable hands - I would highly recommend Amanda!
I highly recommend Amanda. I have one dog who has a few health issues and Amanda is really flexible about providing home visits or walks. I never have to worry if Amanda is looking after my dogs, I know she looks after them as if they were her own.
Amanda is fantastic, she really gave me peace of mind when I had to leave my young kittens for a business trip. I got updates while I was away and came back to two very happy kittens who had clearly been treated well. I've booked Dizzy Pet Care for several more dates later this year and Amanda was flexible with last minute changes and very quick at communication.
Amanda ia a joy, i don't know how i managed before I found her! She is always so flexible and happy to move my bookings when my work arrangements change. Stanley is getting old and a little grumpy so it was a huge bonus that Amanda only takes one dog at a time, she took her time to get to know him and he gets so excited when she arrived. Can not recommend her highly enough.
Amanda is great, our two cats were well looked after and she provided updates throughout the week we were away on how they were doing. One of our cats is very she and she came out for her on the first day! Amanda also asks lots of questions about the pets needs etc... a great service!
Just come back from a long family holiday and Dizzy Pet Care was responsible for our indoor ragdoll cat. Amanda has been absolutely amazing . I had updates daily and videos of how he was and I could see how well looked after and happy he was . He had playtime , cuddles , clean food and litter everyday and in between lots of grooming and pamper for his long fur! We came home and could see how well looked after, happy healthy and looking just as he was when we left . Cannot thank Dizzy Pet Care enough for doing such an excellent job keeping our mind at ease for the first time away leaving our cat. Thank you very much .
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.
Auntie Kelz is a home from home for our Ziggy. Kelly has an unique way to treat dogs, with high professionalism and warm approach, making Ziggy feel happy, relaxed and loved, which can only bring us joy and piece of mind. Ziggy has his weekly day care and also had holidays at Auntie Kelz for the last year. We strongly recommend Kelly services to all dog owners. Thank you auntie Kelz! 🐩🐩
Auntie Kelz is amazing!! I was recommended to Auntie Kelz over 3 years ago and I'm so glad I was. My previous dog adored Auntie Kelz and used to get so excited when he was told where he was going. Our current dog has exactly the same reaction. Kelly provides a home from home experience, she's caring, professional, reliable and all the dogs love her. I 100% recommend Kelly and her services and wouldn't go anywhere else.
Kelly is absolutely fabulous! Dolly is always super excited on her Auntie Kelz days and an overnight stay is like all her Christmases coming at once! We love the pics and videos from walkies with the gang it always looks like they're having the best time.
Kelly provides a fantastic service with a loving home from home environment. Our Rosie always runs through the door excited on arrival and comes home shattered from all the fun filled walks Kelly takes her on. Would recommend to anyone needing holiday or daycare.
Denise and Stacey are absolutely amazing and we cannot recommend them enough! They are reliable, professional, trustworthy and adore the dogs. Our dog Arthur loves his pack walks and waits patiently by the door on his dog walk mornings, raring to go! He always returns home happy and ready for a much needed afternoon nap :) We love to receive the pictures from the walks and see how much fun he has had, which is a really nice touch.
Deni and Stacey have been walking Sammy, our extremely energetic collie x retriever, for about 3 years. He completely adores them and rushes to the door when he hears their van. They are extremely professional and take great care to match the right dogs together in walking groups to make sure they all get on and have lots of fun. Sammy always comes back exhausted from his adventures with them and flops down for a nice long rest on the sofa.
We cannot speak more highly or recommend enough 'Dacorum Dog Walking & Pet Services'. Deni & Stacy are totally amazing and from the minute we sat down for our 'Meet & Greet', we knew we were making the right decision. Our cavapoo 'Fred' is totally smitten with the ladies and indeed adores his twice weekly pack walks. He whips himself up into a complete frenzy when he sees them pull up outside to collect him and jumps up at the front door to get to them! Fred can be quite timid, particularly around bigger dogs and is extremely clingy, however, he's come on leaps and bounds since he's been walking with Deni, Stacy and the pack. Fred is our little baby and the love of our lives but we trust Deni and Stacy implicitly and would recommend them to anyone looking for dog walking services. Their services are extremely impressive, professional, caring, reliable and most of all personal. A lovely touch is receiving photos after his pack walks. It brings us so much joy to see Fred genuinely having so much fun! Thank you for everything you do for us ladies! The Rushtons
Our Rudy LOVES his walks with Dacorum Dog Walkers! We’d be lost without them! They look after him so so well and he’s always lovely and tired when he comes home❤️🐾 …
Fantastic service. Stacey is friendly, reliable and goes above and beyond for the dogs that she cares for. My dog is always excited when they are picked up for their walk and their social skills with other dogs has improved since walking with Dacorum Dog walkers. 100% recommend
Winston is always so excited for his walkies with Dacorum Dog walking. Having tried others I have always felt relaxed when he is out with them because the dogs come first, rather than simply rounding up as many dogs as possible! They have been flexible with me when I needed it (which is really helpful) together with being kind, courteous and easy to get on with. Happy to recommend.
Our dog has been with Deni & Stacey for almost a year and I cannot praise their service highly enough!! They have been professional from first contact as well as being friendly, open, honest and patient with our dog who was timid and anxious at the beginning (one of the main reasons we wanted him to join a dog walking service). He has grown in confidence every week and is now in the thick of it on pack walks, which is lovely to see in the photos we receive after each walk. I can honestly say we made the best decision choosing these lovely ladies and our dog’s reaction when they arrive to collect him reinforces that feeling every week.
We contacted Deni and Stacy in an emergency when I broke my foot earlier this year. We were hesitant to let strangers walk our dog but connected with them on our first meeting as did our dog who ADORES them. They have been amazing, trustworthy, reliable and extremely flexible. Above all Tilly loves them and she has an amazing time every time she goes out with them. She enjoys being part of the pack and we love seeing the photos they send through. Because of this we have continued to use them for regular walks even though my foot is healed. They are fantastic!
It is obvious that Deni and Stacy really love the dogs in their care and have an affinity with them which is great to see. They provide a brilliant professional and reliable service. Nothing is too much trouble to ensure the dogs have a fantastic time and get the most from their walks. I thoroughly recommend them.
I highly recommend Deni and Stacy at Dacorum Dog Walking for your doggie needs. They have been incredibly supportive with my dog Winston who has had issues in pack situations in the past. They are patient, honest, and dedicated. They also have a solid understanding of doggie behaviour, which was so reassuring to us. Winston is part of the pack now, and it’s all thanks to your patience and perseverance. Your dog is in safe hands with Deni and Stacy.
We are really impressed with Deni's services. She has been walking our two poodles weekly for a few months and recently she also took care of Toffee and Luna for a week. Our dogs are very attached to us and I was initially worried but I really shouldn't have been. Deni and her family were amazing. The dogs were cared for very well, had plenty of walks and a place on the sofa to watch TV with Deni. I can say with confidence that both poodles have enjoyed their stay at Deni's. Even Luna - normally very timid and scared of being away from her family was doing amazingly in Deni's care. I couldn't have asked for a better treatment for my furry friends. You can see straight away Deni's dedication and genuine love for dogs. Highly recommended.
Deni and her hubby are great with all dogs they look after and our Milo is no different. I was worried initially as Milo is shy and not great in groups of dogs but he seems to thrive when boarding with Deni. I know he’s happy as he pulls on lead towards her house!! Recommend for sure 🐾 …
I can not recommend Deni enough. She is very reliable, as well as flexible to your agenda and understands each dogs needs. Our German Shepherd loves her and he is usually shy around people. He's always excited to see her and exhausted when he comes back. He's also stayed over the weekend with Deni, and we felt totally at ease as she is completely trustworthy and you get photo updates.
5 stars all the way. Our Retriever loves going and staying with Deni. He has a ball with all the other friendly dogs, plus we get regular videos and pictures of each walk 😀 definitely recommend. …
Lucy is a naturally shy Cavapoochon who has grown in confidence since going on group walks with Diamond Dogs. The photos and videos sent after every walk show her relaxed and having fun.
Rolo absolutely loves going, he’s walked every week and also regularly boards. I’m honestly so happy I found Deni, it’s a home from home for Rolo. I know he always has the best time and is treated like a prince! If you’re looking for dog walking or boarding I’d highly recommend. Thank you so much Deni, don’t know what I’d do without you.
Our 11 year old golden retriever loves her stays with Diamond Dogs and trots into their house without a backwards glance! When her previous dog sitter moved away last year we looked very carefully for a good dog sitter to look after her for ad hoc days, overnight stays and holidays, and from the first stay knew our dog was happy and well looked after and that we’d made the right choice. We love the photo updates sent to us while she’s staying - clearly lots of fun on walks and a real home from home for the doggy guests.
We had our 7 month puppy, Bailey stay with Deni for 11 nights. I was a little worried at first as he was quite young, timid and never left us before. From initial meeting, Deni ensured he was comfortable with the overnight trial and a group walk leading up to his actual stay. We had daily updates with lots of photos and videos, which was really nice. I could see Bailey was well looked after and having a lovely time, making new friends and growing in confidence. I would definitely recommend Deni and have already booked Bailey in again for next year!
We couldn’t be happier. Deni is always willing to help us out with the dogs. They love her as do the cats and we always get lovely photos too!
Sammy has a great time and comes back thoroughly exhausted which is quite a feat given how energetic he is. He’s always very excited to see her and his doggy friends. Deni clearly cares deeply about the dogs in her care and has a wealth of experience in looking after a wide range of dog breeds and personalities
Irina provides a highly professional service. She has been puppy sitting for us over the last month and is amazing with our puppy. Irina is loving and we feel confident leaving our dog under her care. Our puppy loves spending time Irina and we always come home to a calm and happy puppy.
Bunny feeding & visits We were away for a week and needed some help with looking after our two bunny’s. Thankfully, when we reached out, Irina was happy to offer a service. Irina popped in twice a day, once in the morning and evening to feed and fill in fresh water for the bunny’s during the week were away. Even when our travel plans needed to be brought forward unexpectedly, Irina was more than happy to come through and assist at short notice. We were very grateful for this. It is safe to say when we got back our bunny’s were happy and had full bellies! Thank you Irina! Highly Recommended! 😊
My Dogs Digby and Ruby love their walks with Irina. She is very reliable and I know my dogs are safe and happy. They are always eager to get out the door when she arrives. Would highly recommend Irina to anyone.
my two terriers love their walks! ( always come back happy-and later nicely tired-thankyou ! very reliable
Thank you Irena for being busters new dog walker very pleased with your services
Paula and Alan have looked after our dog on a daily and holiday basis, there’s never been an occasion when our dog has not bounded to meet them, come back looking sad, ungroomed, under/over weight. It’s the perfect home from home for our dog. Thank you Paula and Alan.
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!
It’s always daunting leaving your beloved dog in day/night care. I could not ask for Cody to be looked after any better. Deborah took great care of him, he came back a happy and settled. I would definitely recommend Cosy Paws Dog Boarding. If you want your dog to stay in a safe and caring environment. Thank you Deborah
Deborah has helped me for the last couple of years with walking dogs aswell as stepping in when needed at ours when we have boarding dogs. Her knowledge and experience with dogs is amazing. The dogs love her. Now Deborah and her husband have set their own boarding business "Cozy Paws", I can honestly say I trust them 100% with my dog as well as everyone else's. Kind, caring, highly experienced in all things dog . 5 stars all the way. Good luck in your new venture Diamond Dogs Boarding of Dacorum
Our dog Willow (Toller Retriever) has been going to Sarah’s regularly for the past 3 years and she so obviously still loves it there. I get sent photos which were really reassuring in the early days, and still make me smile now. Definitely a home from home for her.
We could not recommend Sarah more, for how well she has looked after our Yorkie puppy on a regular basis. Penny has the best time and is always so excited to arrive. We love the photo/video updates, and Sarah's communication makes things very easy for us. We know she is well looked after and treated as part of the family.
Our dog has been boarding with Sarah for almost a year and loves going to stay with her. Sarah and her family are really lovely and take very good care of him with lots of walks, cuddles and doggy play. I'm often worried he has so much fun he won't want to come home! Sarah is incredibly reliable and great at looking after dogs. I always feel at ease when he is with her and thoroughly recommend her.
Sarah has been fantastic at looking after Millie while we have been on holiday. Millie settles quickly and makes herself completely at home enjoying the luxury doggy accommodation. Sarah is always very professional, and makes sure to send updates and photos of Millie enjoying her holiday!
Sarah’s home is a safe and nurturing place to leave your dog. Our puppy recently stayed with her while we were on holiday. Despite him being a bit under the weather when he arrived, she was caring, professional, experienced and reassuring to us by providing regular contact and updates. We will definitely be booking Leo in with Sarah again, a lovely home environment and he clearly had a wonderful time. Thank you Sarah.
Sarah has been looking after our dog since he was a puppy and he absolutely loves going to her house. She is flexible, reliable and treats him like her own. She shares photos and videos with us and goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and looked after.
Sarah is amazing. She cares for Elton as if he is her own and always goes the extra mile to make sure we are happy and Elton is happy and healthy! She is great at making sure we get things booked up in good time but can be flexible where she can. Elton loves being there and we can trust leaving Elton with Sarah. Thanks again!
Our dog Benji has been using Sarah’s boarding services for a year now and we couldn’t be happier. She and her family treat him like he’s a part of their own family and he’s clearly loved there and has a wonderful time! Sarah is professional and always accommodating. We are so happy we found her to look after our four legged family member when we need it..thank you so much!
We cannot thank Sarah and her family enough for everything they have done for us and our puppy Hector. Hector has been a regular at Sarah’s doggy day care for the last 3 years. They treat him like their own dog and they are his second family. If we could give ten stars we would!
My Spaniel dog loves his doggy day care and overnight stays at Sarah’s Dog Boarding. Sarah and her family look after my dog as if he was their own and It’s great I can leave him with people I can trust and not worry about how he is doing. Sarah is reliable and very flexible with my timings which is always appreciated.
