Francesca and Chris were dream house sitters! They arrived with huge smiles and were greeted ecstatically by the dynamic duo of Poco and Ditto, a very good sign that we were leaving them in capable hands. While we were away they kept in touch with us to let us know how things were going and sent photos by WhatsApp exchanges. They also liaised with our neighbour who kindly came and sat with the dogs for a time whilst they went on a longer trip to Murcia city as they didn't want to leave them on their own for too long. They asked if they could get us any shopping for our return trip and the house was clean and tidy when we arrived home. I am very glad we chose them and would have no hesitation in recommending them, they would also be welcome back any time in the future! Lovely couple.
Lovely Seta looked after my cat Lyra for a week. Both cat and house were in their best condition upon my return. Thanks so much and best wishes for your onward travels!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?

Sammy has just had his first holiday at Maddie's and I can't thank Shelley and her crew enough for making him feel at home from home. He has previously stayed in kennels but he is 8 now and we felt he deserved some comfort while we went on holiday. The pre-stay visits were great for making sure Shelley and the other dogs got to know Sammy, and that he would be comfortable there. And by the time we dropped him off for his holiday, he was chomping at the bit to see his friends again. I didn't once worry that Sammy wasn't ok whilst we were away, as we received daily "pupdates" showing us how he was getting on and what he was up to. We could see from the photos and videos that he was happy and felt safe. The care and attention he received was as good if not better than at home. Before his stay Sammy hadn't really socialised with other dogs and we weren't sure how he would be, but he soon got stuck in at playtime and was leading the walks. I would highly recommend Maddie's and will definitely be booking Sammy in next time we go away.
Before I contacted Maddies home from home I did a lot of research as I had been rushed into hospital in January and had to leave my poor dog at boarding without even seeing it, I was worried the whole time in hospital about my dear little girl and couldn’t wait to collect her and I was determined to find a home from home boarding. I researched several but Maddies came out on top so I contacted Shelley and we meet up for a sniff test with my little girl and the rest of her dogs. Wow how thorough and professional her whole business is. I was very impressed and we arranged a sleepover, I was very anxious to be leaving my girl again but Shelley sent me regular pup dates which put my mind at ease. I was once again taken into hospital so I contacted Shelley to see if she could look after my little girl at short notice and she was there for me again. My stay in hospital was so much better knowing she was being cared for and regular pup dates made my stay in hospital bearable. My little girl loved her stay at Maddies and always had lots to occupy her and lots of walks. I can’t recommend and thank Shelley enough for looking after my little girl it really is home from home.
This was Elsy’s first 2 week stay at Maddie’s and she was so looked after ! Lots of daily updates with videos and photographs. The walks all looked amazing. Shelley was very professional, caring and so loving to Elsy. Really really pleased I found such a brilliant home boarding stay for Elsy to go. Have booked many more stays for her in the coming months. Thank you for all your help and amazing attention to detail.
Teddy is cared for 100%+ whilst I go away on holiday. It's a real home from home boarding. It's peace of mind knowing he is in safe hands. Shelley makes the separation easier for me and Teddy settles. Lots of attention given to the dogs in her care. Walkies, hugs, playtime and groomed. I enjoy the photos and videos sent daily. I collected Teddy after 12 days. He's fit, healthy and no kennel cough. So pleased I was recommended Maddies home boarding & day care. I have never been disappointed. Thank you Maddie & Shelley.
Ninja has been expertly looked after by Shelley for the past three years with a mix of boarding and day care. I now have two dogs that both go regularly and they don't even look back to me when they see Shelley. It really is a home from home with personalised and loving care. Highly recommend!
Shelley and Maddie’s house is doggie heaven. Robbie felt right at home and he was clearly happy to be there. As a nervous Doggy-Mum, Shelley really put me at ease and I felt comfortable leaving him with her. Highly recommended.
Working full time we were a bit stuck when my Mum had an accident and we had to look after her dog, Chester, for a few month's. We couldn't have chosen better with Maddie's. It is certainly a home from home, but even more than that - the dogs get great enrichment, exercise and socialisation everyday. I would not hesitate to recommend Maddie's to anyone looking for doggy care or boarding for their beloved furmily member.
My dog Dylan loves being at Maddie's. He gets 5 star treatment and I love getting regular pup-dates from Shelley. I highly recommend Shelley and wouldn't board Dylan anywhere else!
Our dog loves staying at Maddie's! The service is professional, reliable and responsive and we enjoy receiving updates about our pet when we are away. Highly recommended.
Taking each dogs needs a quirks into consideration, my mind is at ease knowing that Lottie is being well cared for and loved by a true professional.
My Lab stayed for a week in June this year. Loved it and didn't want to come home LOL. Lovely people great surroundings and great care given. My Lab's back in November if she knew, she couldn't probably wait.
Thank you so much for looking after Merlin on his first visit with you. He's come home a very happy boy.
Refused to take my dog as I said sometimes he could be a bit nervous and he was a GSD.
Our boys can't wait to go through the door, the team are fantastic.
Excellent service
Kim has been taking care of our cat Neil when we go away for 6 years now and does a great job for a reasonable cost. We love the updates and photos she sends and I think Neil may now prefer her to us! Can't recommend highly enough. Professional, friendly and very obliging to even a short notice request.
We've been using Kim's pet sitting service for around a year now. She came highly recommended, and her support has been amazing. She regularly sends pics of our cats while we're away, and the cats are always in good form when we return - they seem to have enjoyed the break from us! I love that the cats can stay at home when we're away, and I trust Kim to do the right thing for them at all times. She's really well organised with regards to diary, billing and so on, and her prices are very reasonable. Definitely a happy customer!
I'm so glad I've got Pattishall Pet Sitting in my life! Kim first looked after my pair of very shy cats in February, and since then she's done so a few more times when I've gone away for short breaks or just overnight. I don't really like leaving them, but now I can do so in full confidence knowing that Kim will take care of all of their needs. It's lovely to have found such a caring and responsible cat sitter. Thank you Kim.😻
I absolutely adore Kim. She is truly a bunny superstar and I'm so grateful for all the time and effort she puts into caring for my trio each time they go to stay. I get updates on how they're getting on and can have peace of mind, knowing they're being looked after. She is utterly amazing and they never seem to want to leave to come home with me after staying there, so that must be a good sign! I could not recommend her enough if you want someone to love and take care of your pets whilst you're away
I use Pattishall Pet Sitting several times a year. I can go away knowing that my boy is safe, well looked after and that Kim will spoil him even when he is being a grump. She cares about each and everyone of her furry clients. Have used PPS for years and have recommended to family who now also use. No hesitation in recommending.
We have been using Kim to look after our cats for years and wouldn't even consider using anyone else. She takes great care of our cats and they really like her despite being very shy around most people! She is always very responsive to messages and she has even been able to help us with last minute bookings when we have needed them.
Kim took care of our cat for two weeks and we were extremely pleased with her. Our cat is very timid, always hiding whenever any person outside the family entered our house. However, Kim managed to earn her trust and approach her, keeping us updated constantly and making sure our kitten was well. We cannot recommend her enough! Thank you so much, you made our days much better knowing you took good care of her!!😀
We have been using Kim for over a year now and have been so impressed with her service. We trust her fully to look after our dog and come into our home, which isn't easy to find! She is also really reliable, communication is great and loves our dog like her own. Would recommend to anyone in the area!
We always use Kim to look after our cats and would 100% recommend her services. She is so friendly, professional and trustworthy. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies are in such good hands!
Kim was absolutely amazing, when we took our guinea pigs to her she had their set up ready and we chatted for a while about all her other current and past pets. Felt completely comfortable leaving them with her, she sent us pictures of them in the garden eating grass and in their cage. Would definitely use again!
Kayleigh is amazing ! She stayed at our home and looked after our elderly dog and cat . She sent regular updates and when our dog needed vet treatment she was amazing . Not only does and genuinely care for animals and their welfare she also leaves your home the way you would like to find it . I can't praise her enough !
Kayleigh at Jasper Tails looked after our 3 year old miniature dachshund , Ozzy, for 10 days when we went on holiday in January. Ozzy had such a great time and fit in with the other dogs so well. Kayleigh sent us regular updates and was very quick to respond if we dropped a message to check in. I’d highly recommend Jasper Tails and Ozzy can’t wait to go back!
Kayleigh has only been walking our dog for a few months but he already loves his time with her. On the first meet and greet it was clear how much love Kayleigh has for our beloved furry family members so this immediately put me at ease. I would highly recommend Jasper Tails Pet Care and have already booked Kayleigh for some dog sitting for later in the year.
Fantastic service. Kayleigh is so friendly and professional. She’s absolutely fabulous with dogs and understands their needs/behaviour. Extremely trustworthy. My dog is always so happy after being with her and he’s an old nervous boy so I don’t usually trust anyone with him but Kayleigh gives him such lovely walks. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone. 10/10.
Kayleigh is fantastic with my dog, he gone from not wanting to walk with anyone but me to waiting at the door for Kayleigh to arrive and he can't get out the door quick enough for his walks. She has worked so hard getting him to this point. If I could give her 10/10 I would! She's very professional and nothing is to much for her!
Kayleigh looked after two of our precious pups for the day whilst we were out. Couldn’t recommend her enough, she is such a lovely trustworthy person who clearly has such a passion for animals. Can’t wait to use her services again (as does Clementine!) - such a huge help!
Highly recommend if looking for a dog Walker/boarder! Kayleigh loves the animals as if they’re her own. Our late dog loved his time with Kayleigh and our current pup feels the same!
Dropped my two Yorkies (Billie and Maggie) off with Nick on the Friday. He was very accommodating, welcoming, and reassured us that they would be fine. We went to pick them up again on Sunday, and they were so happy, waggy tailed. He loved them and wanted to keep them lol. He enjoyed having them and said it was a pleasure to look after them. I recommend Hayfield 100% and wouldn't hesitate in Nick looking after our girls again :-)
My 2 dogs had never stayed at kennels before and my cocker spaniel was also very wary of strangers. Nick spent a lot of time before their stay making sure that both dogs were happy and comfortable being with new people and with being at Hayfields. The dogs had a great stay and I would definitely recommend Nick and his team. Our dogs will definitely be staying at Hayfields again.
Fantastic dog kennels, would even go as far to say it's better than some hotels we've stayed at! Nick was a pleasure to deal with, always available and answered our queries within a few minutes. Our big dogs have had a lovely stay and came back happy and nicely worn out which is no mean feat! They'll be staying here again in the future for sure.
These kennels are really great. We have two dogs and both are so well cared for when they stay at Hayfields. Looking for a great hotel for your best friend? Look no further.
Grace and Iris obviously enjoyed their stay at Hayfields! A home from home for them with plenty of attention and space. Nick and his small team obviously love dogs. Cannot recommend highly enough. Grace and Iris can't wait until we book another holiday so that they can enjoy their own staycation.
I cannot recommend Hayfields enough. Nick and his team and very friendly and caring towards my two pooches. My dogs are always excited to stay at Hayfields and that is saying something as my two never really like leaving my side. The first time I arrived to look around Nick focused on talking and interacting with my dogs more than myself. He said first meeting is always important as this effects the dog's reaction to their stay and the first impressions of people are as important to dogs as they are with people. It is refreshing to find a place that see's a dog's stay through the eyes of a dog :)
This is a fabulous place to leave your dog. Our black lab loves it here, he has a comfortable bed, loads of room and runs round the attached paddocks at full tilt. This isn't the cheapest option by any means, but the owner Nick is passionate about dogs and their well-being and this is reflected throughout the kennels. Recommended without reserve.
Nick and his team provide nothing short of the best facilities that a dog could ever want when on their holidays. They are well looked after and in more than capable hands when staying at Hayfields. What's more you can count on them coming back pampered and well loved. Thanks for the stays.
Extremely friendly and efficient. A very clean and safe place for dogs. It was the first time that we have left our puppy in the care of others. She obviously enjoyed her stay. Good value for money. Nick and his team are caring and professional. Would totally recommend this dog hotel.
These kennel's are superb- everything your dog could wish for when you are away. We have a Flatcoat Retriever and she knows and loves the owners who take really good care of her when left. The kennels are new, clean, modern, heated and every dog can have their own run. Just great! Colin
Fantastic place with lovely staff, who really get to know and care about the dogs. My dog goes two days a week and gets so excited when we tell her she’s going to “Doggy Day Care”, and it’s great for me knowing she’s enjoying herself while I’m at work. I have also used their holiday boarding service, which was also excellent. Both me and the dog were really happy she was staying with people she knows really well and that know her really well.
Our dog Colin the rescue now comes weekly, he loves it and I cant thank Derrick and Sophie enough. They are understanding and accepting that every dog is different. As any dog parent you want to make sure you are sending them off to a caring place, I can honestly I say 5* doesn't do it justice. I am very happy I found this place. x
Putting Chip into daycare was the best thing we ever did!! He loves his two play sessions a week! As soon as we say his going his up and ready to get in the car, I would not trust anybody else other than the team at daycare with my boy!! They are so caring and loving with him !! We have had a few months of ill health in the family and they have had him in for extra sessions at a drop of a hat which has given us great pieces of mind his receiving the best of care! I would and have recommended anybody that a dog to book there dog in even if you do not need care to cover working just as a play session for your dog!! Thank you for looking after our boy x
Our little. Dog is a member and can't wait to go . He is safe and well cared for, we would recommend to anyone for a safe happy day for dogs of all breeds.🐶🐶 …
Both of my golden retriever have been going to Doggies Friend since they were puppies.....they are now 5 and 3 and love going to daycare. I know they are safe and well cared for by all the staff and above all have fun and come home contented.
I have been bringing my anxious rescue dog Robbie here for a long time now and cannot fault the care he receives. I arrive with one very excited doggy and leave with one very tired one. I cannot recommend then enough.
Great for sociable dogs and good value. Lovely to know my dog is happy, stimulated, entertained and active while I am working. Really caring staff.
Our Lab loves going to Doggies Friend. Runs in with tail wagging. You really feel the staff get to know and care about your dog.
Digby has only been going to Christine and Derrick for a couple of months but he has really come out of his shell, he drags me in and can't wait to play... everyone is so lovely and they are all so well looked after and Diggy and would highly recommend... thank you all for taking such good care of my boy 🐾🐾❤ …
Great friendly staff. Ruffles tail is wagging as soon as we arrive. Secure, safe and happy environment. Great value.
Penny loves her walks with Aisha (and Dexter). Aisha always keeps the walks new and exciting and sends wonderful reports and photos after each one. Highly recommended!
The service from Happy Tails is absolutely brilliant. I have used Aisha for over a year now and could not be happier. I am always sent updates of how my dogs walk went and both of my dogs love her. Highly recommend!
Happy Tails offer an exceptional service, tailor made to your requirements,. Aisha is very reliable and professional and we are extremely happy having her look after daily walks for our elderly Norwich terrier, who loves her daily visits.
We have used Happy Tails for home visits during holidays many times over several years. Aisha has always given outstanding friendly service and value for money, and we are able to relax knowing our pets are in great hands. We have no hesitation in recommending Happy Tails to potential customers.
'Aisha has been coming to walk my labrador twice a week for the past year. My lab, Hugo, looks forward to seeing Aisha and her dog Dexter every time. It is so obvious how much he likes her and enjoys his walks with her. Aisha promptly sends updates after each walk to let me know how things went. I am always assured that Hugo is being well-looked-after. I highly recommend Aisha!'
Aisha is a lovely person and I have full trust in her, she’s never let me down, is so natural with animals and my pets love her! Great communication, really professional and reliable, would definitely recommend to anyone!
Really reliable and fantastic with the dogs, feel very comfortable that they’re being well looked after and having great fun on their walks
Lin provided an amazing service for my dog Molly whilst on her Barking Mad holiday, from the initial registration to the collection and return. Molly had an amazing time with her host family, will definitely use again.
Rachel looked after my Hungarian Viszla whilst I was away, she gave regular updates and I couldn’t fault her, she is very trustworthy and I will definitely use her again!
Couldn't be happier leaving our beloved dog in Rachel's capable hands.
Sophie is amazing with my Wish Springer Spaniel. My fur baby doesn't like being apart from me but she goes in with her ears up and tail wagging - and not just the first time! She is welcomed like one of the family and while we are away we get regular pup-dates on how she is. I would recommend without hesitation, we drive from Northampton because we are so happy with her service.
